The game against Everton is fast approaching.

Everton's manager is still David Moyes, an old rival of Wansheng, but now he is no longer the Derby County manager, and David Moyes is still in charge of Everton.

David Moyes's results at Everton are indeed good, after he took over Everton's feet in 2002, Everton was like a god, and even stabilized in the top four for a while, but unfortunately he did not play well in the second half of the season and could only finish seventh, but this is also Everton's best result in 10 years, and Moyes also won the English Football Association's Coach of the Year award.

In the next two years, Everton's results have gone up and down, but neither last season's fall nor last season's rise has affected David Moyes's managerial position, and he has established his credibility with Everton club and fans and made everyone trust him, so he still stays at Everton.

Now Wan Sheng is in charge of Manchester City, and the two have become rivals again.

For the opponent of Wan Sheng, David Moyes still has a headache, because he has not yet taken advantage of Wan Sheng, even if Wan Sheng goes to Manchester City, it is no longer the strong Derby County, but Manchester City's results should not be underestimated, at least much better than Everton, so before the game, David Moyes talked about the game, and said, "For us, this game will be difficult." They are not easy opponents to win. ”

It's still a tact.

In fact, there are two teams that have not been beaten so far in the league, and that is Chelsea and Manchester City, Manchester City are a little worse than Chelsea, but no team will say they can beat Manchester City.

In this 'big environment', Wansheng doesn't have to be humble anymore.

The previous modesty was only to get the press not to put Manchester City and Chelsea together, which is very dangerous, and Chelsea have become the 'enemy of the people', as long as it is not Chelsea fans and the media. They all want them to lose, Wan Sheng doesn't want the team to get into that situation, the most important thing is that Manchester City doesn't have that kind of strength, low-key and slow development is the best, but now the opponent is only Everton, if it is too low-key, David Moyes will not believe it, so he doesn't have to make that kind of gesture.

"We'll do our best to win!"

At the pre-match press conference, Wansheng was full of confidence, which made the reporters who were confused by Wansheng's weakness breathe a long sigh of anger. They finally saw the confident and even somewhat 'arrogant' Chinese return.

"On our home turf we will fight for every victory. We've done a lot of preparation for the game, so I'm sure the victory will be ours......"

David Moyes is also not showing weakness, "We will do our best!" Everyone in the team is very scrappy and they all want to win......"

……

What the two managers said was a bit of a-for-tat, but in fact, many people heard it. The two of them were still very calm, one said 'do your best', the other said 'fight', and neither talked about winning or anything like that. Or leave room for each other's opponents.

That's why Wan Sheng and David Moyes are so familiar.

Just because it's very familiar, you don't have to talk about it to death, after all, you don't see you in the league, and the personal relationship is also very good. There is no need to talk about 'must-win' in a game.

However, Manchester City and Everton have a game to play, and the two are direct rivals. So when it comes to the game, there is not much 'leeway' to speak of, both teams are playing as hard as they can, and from the first minute, the game is very intense.

David Moyes has a lot of preparation for the game, he has studied the tactics used by Manchester City and found that he can deal with such a Control the flow of football, the best way is to defend as tough as Bolton, this is actually the same as dealing with Derby County last season, as long as the defense is solid, the offensive play is not meaningful, a direct and quick counterattack can get everything, after all, the purpose of tactics is to defend and score goals, so direct tactics can sometimes play a very good role, Everton can't play more beautiful and technical football than Manchester City, so David Moyes can only let the team play a little more direct.

Before the game, he made a point of defending.

As long as the defensive formation is stable, not easily pulled away by Manchester City, and at the same time there must be a tough pressing, and try to come to the next wave of counterattacks when there is a chance, such a direct tactic, Everton can play very well, David Moyes also thinks it will be very effective.

Of course, whether it has an effect or not depends on the competition.

From the beginning, the effect was still obvious, Manchester City's midfielder's pass was intercepted by Everton several times, and Everton took advantage of the opportunity to complete the counter-attack and almost broke the Manchester City goal.

Morris and Anelka have become the object of Everton's special care, for Morris, the core of the midfield, Everton is already very familiar, so they know that against Wansheng's team, they must 'take care' of Morris, Anelka is incidental, Anelka did not perform at all last season, but this season he scored too many goals, so he became a player who needs special attention, and then he was also taken care of.

This special care, not only the defensive attention, but also the Everton players will not mind fouls, as long as they can stop the two, they will do whatever it takes.

For Everton, pay special attention to the defense of Moyes and Anelka, which requires the two to pass the ball to their teammates more, after all, this kind of 'special care' can only be found by the players themselves, and the tactical arrangement is not very useful, the opponent is a special defense two, then only others can get the ball more, but Morris is still very experienced in this regard, in the second half of last season, he will become an opponent in every game' Special care' object, Anelka is completely fine, as a striker, he doesn't feel the ball for more than ten minutes, he has long been used to being tightly defended, not to mention, many times he is at the forefront of the team, Everton players want to foul and look at the position, otherwise it is a penalty, or a free kick in a good position.

And against Everton, Wan Sheng has long had a countermeasure, that is, constantly attacking their middle, using running to pull the car empty, and fighting with the opponent to maximize the team's physical advantage.

Everton definitely didn't expect Manchester City to play like this!

The game started a little better, with a lot of players not looking to get into the game quickly and a couple of mistakes gave Everton chances, but as time passed. City's tactics have been played, and the targeted attack on the middle has also appeared, so the Everton players have found it difficult to defend because the Manchester City players in the front field are constantly running, and they have to keep up if they want to defend, but keep up...... You have to run constantly, which is very physically demanding.

Some people thought the City frontcourt players were 'a bit silly' because a lot of the runs they were doing were meaningless, and then they were a little bit slack off and they soon found out. It's almost the same as giving City a chance, and with a slack they slacken, it's easy for them to find a shot on goal.

"Keep up! Don't let them run around! "Simon Davis is shouting on the field.

Manager David Moyes also stood on the sidelines, he began to worry about the game, he did not expect Manchester City's running in the front of the field to be 'positive' like this, and more importantly, the opponent's running was very targeted, if to defend. You have to keep following, otherwise a person who doesn't care may become an opportunity for the other party.

Soon David Moyers found out about another problem...... Opposition midfielder Morris doesn't seem to be the only playmaker, and his partner Joey Barton can also play the attack, resulting in a much less targeted defensive effect.

Before the game. He didn't care about Joey Barton at all.

Joey Barton has been a regular player for Manchester City, but he is a very ordinary player and a fringe player in the England team - sometimes he can be in the squad, sometimes he will be dropped. There are quite a few such players in the middle of England, so Barton is not too noteworthy, in comparison. Morris at the core is certainly more threatening.

But David Moyes suddenly thought that it seemed that when Keegan was in charge of Manchester City, Joey Barton was Manchester City's core midfielder!

Wanting this, Moyes feels a little dangerous.

On the other hand, Wan Sheng has curled the corners of his mouth, in fact, now Manchester City on the field is playing the 'dual-core' tactics, when he was in Derby County, his 'dual-core' tactics have been imperfect, because everyone is used to playing around Morris, and Peter Kennedy's ability is not enough, but after arriving at Manchester City, this problem has been greatly alleviated - the core of Manchester City was originally Joey Barton!

Morris's ability is much better than Barton's, the tactics revolve around him, and the other players adapt to it after a long time, but it doesn't mean that they forget the feeling of working with Barton, and Barton's ability is not much worse, and when the team experimented with the 'dual core', there were not many problems.

Now Manchester City on the field, the 'dual-core' tactics are not perfect, but the appearance is out, Morris and Barton are parallel midfielders, so Everton's defense is in trouble, when they go to defend Morris, Manchester City will play with Barton as the core point, on the contrary, Morris organizes an offensive threat that is greater.

Their targeted defensive role has been greatly weakened!

However, Everton's luck was good, as City had plenty of chances throughout the first half but didn't score, and then in the second half, they discovered a new problem - when they were a little unable to run, the opposing City players were still running in good spirits.

They're kind of overwhelmed.

In this way, their performances became more and more unstable, and the gap between the two teams widened, and finally at the end of the 73rd minute, Sinclair, who was cut on the wing, gave City the leading goal.

It was also the only goal of the game.

Despite scoring just one goal, anyone who watched the game knew it was no surprise that City won as they kept Everton at bay in all aspects and left the latter with no chance at all except in the opening kick-off.

The lack of goals is just due to bad luck, after all, luck is still very important in football.

After the game, David Moyes took the initiative to find Wansheng to shake hands, and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect you to go to Manchester City, your team is still so difficult to deal with!" ”

Wan Sheng smiled, "This is a compliment, right!?" ”

"You should be sarcastic."

"Thank you then." Wan Sheng didn't care at all.

Then, in the post-match press conference, David Moyes also lamented, "This Manchester City team is very strong now, and after playing against them, I finally know why they have only drawn one game so far, and if it weren't for the stronger Chelsea, they would definitely be the top of the league!" ”

"I just want to say now that we lose our hearts!"

'Tactics, form, performance, everything, they completely overpowered us. It's 1-0, but I don't think it's any different from 10-0, we don't have any hope of winning. (To be continued......)
