Seeing Sun Jihai appear, the most excited is the Chinese media.

The Central TV Sports Channel is broadcasting the Champions League final live, and Liu Jianhong, who has co-hosted the Asian Cup with Wansheng, is responsible for commenting on the game, and he is also talking about Chelsea's wonderful goal, "Chelsea has a goal, and now Manchester City is in danger, in the past few minutes, Chelsea's attack is fierce, and they have formed a threat inside and outside the penalty area......"

It was at this point that Carlos kicked the ball out of bounds.

City began to make substitutions.

"Sun Jihai is going to play?"

The camera immediately pointed to the sidelines, only to see Wan Sheng raising his face to Sun Jihaier, and the substitution card raised by the fourth official clearly showed that Sun Jihai would play, and it was David Silva who was substituted.

Liu Jianhong said with certainty, "That's right! It's Sun Jihai! He replaces David Silva! ”

"The Champions League final is the top competition in European competition and even the whole world football, and it is the highest level of competition at the club level, and Wan Sheng is the first time to lead the team to this level. It's a great honour for any player to play in a Champions League final. ”

"There are many people who analyze that Sun Jihai is difficult to have a chance this season, but now, when the situation in Manchester City is a little unfavorable, Wansheng chooses to believe in Sun Jihai, what this adjustment means, we are not clear for the time being, but with Sun Jihai, Manchester City has ******** players in the final, and we have countless reasons to cheer for them!"

Liu Jianhong has always been a very calm explanation, but when he saw Sun Jihai playing, his tone of voice was still a little excited.

These are two Chinese players!

Before this decisive battle, no Chinese player had appeared in the Champions League final, but now there are two at once, and the game can be said to be the 'final of the Chinese'!

Obviously, many domestic fans think the same way.

The results of the Chinese national team are disappointing, and it is difficult for Chinese fans to find football with hope, so they turned to support foreign teams, and they found AC Milan fans, Inter fans, Manchester United fans and fans of other teams in China, and it is also indispensable, because Wan Sheng, Wang Xiaolei, Sun Jihai and others have turned to support Manchester City fans.

Of course, there are also some supporters of Chelsea.

For the domestic fans who support Chelsea, they are conflicted when they watch the Chelsea and Manchester City match because they don't know who to support.

Chelsea don't have Chinese players, and Manchester City has two - Chinese players, Manchester City is still the team led by the Chinese manager, so do you want to support the team with Chinese players, or continue to support Chelsea?

Now it's the Champions League final and they're even more embarrassed.

At the beginning, they continued to support Chelsea, but when Manchester City played very well, many people's mentality changed, they felt that Wansheng won the first Champions League trophy is not bad, and Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei will also win Champions League medals.

After that, and now, seeing Sun Jihai playing, more domestic Chelsea fans have turned to support Manchester City!

One Chinese coach, two Chinese players, this Manchester City can be said to be half of the 'Chinese team', the 'Chinese team' plays the Champions League final, who else can you support if you don't support the Chinese team!

That's the case for Chelsea fans at home, not to mention the rest of the fans.

At this moment, all domestic fans supported Manchester City.

At the same time, they hope that Sun Jihai's appearance can really make some difference, hope that their players can play well, and hope that Manchester City can beat Chelsea and win the Champions League trophy.

――――

Sun Jihai appeared.

The substitution that made Chinese fans very excited was not grand, Sun Jihai just walked to the game, and there were not many fans applauding and cheering.

Manchester City fans couldn't understand why Sun Jihai could replace Silva, they didn't react for a while, and for Russian fans, this Chinese player is really a little unfamiliar.

Morris walked up to Sun Jihai and asked Wan Sheng what he had explained to him.

He had to understand that.

Only by understanding Wansheng's intentions can he have a clearer idea of what to do and help the team win.

'I'm playing at the back and we're going to have to defend well.'

"Wan Sheng said, your position is a little more forward, pay more attention to organizing the attack, I and Elano are responsible for defense, we have to strive for the initiative in the midfield, and cooperate more with ......"

Morris nodded in understanding.

Actually, 'I play in the back', that's enough. Morris is the strongest of all City players in terms of understanding the game and analyzing the team's tactics.

Sun Jihai played in the back, so the team was equivalent to a double back, and the formation became 4231, obviously to strengthen the defense and scramble of the midfield.

Morris couldn't help but recall the two concepts that Wansheng once put forward - "ambiguous position" and "all-round, all-attack, all-defense".

'Ambiguous position' is literal, the players on the field should play with the basic structure of the team's tactical system, the position is not so important, the full-back can come to the middle, the middle player can also go to the wing, as long as you can play fluently and play the feeling, it doesn't matter what position the player is.

'All-round, all-attacking, all-defending' refers to the ability of the player.

Wan Sheng mentioned to him, "Every player tries to be able to attack and defend, so that the team can really 'attack and defend'." ”

'All-offense and all-defense' is actually a very common concept, such as Barcelona, Arsenal and other players, all of them use the 'all-offense and all-defending' style of play, even so, 'all-offense and all-defense' is still just a concept, because the team that plays all-offense and all-defense football is at most emphasizing that the striker should defend, and the defender player participates in the attack, which is not the real sense of 'all-attack and all-defending'.

Even for Manchester City, the player's positional sense is very clear, the defenders spend most of their time defending, and the forwards don't have much time to drop back to defence.

Therefore, "'position ambiguity' and 'all-round, all-attack, all-defense' are just the future development direction of football." ”

Morris thought back to Wan Sheng's words.

Now that Sun Jihai is on the scene, Morris has understood this level.

Sun Jihai is the 'panacea' on the pitch, he can play in any position, but look at the five people in the midfield, Brummer, Ljungberg, Ivan Crewe and himself, they are actually 'panacea', they are all players with comprehensive abilities and unfixed positions, even if they change to other positions, they can also have a good performance.

All five of them are like this, and it must be for them to strengthen their cooperation and achieve 'full achievement'.

This is key.

Sure enough, when there was a chance to kill the ball in the game, Morris was called over by Wan Sheng to call him up.

Wan Sheng basically told him to increase the cooperation of the midfield, and strive to suppress Chelsea in both defensive and offensive aspects.

To put it simply, it's a midfield fight with Chelsea.

Whether it is defensive or offensive, the team's five midfielders, plus a Torres who can retreat at any time, must not be afraid of Chelsea, as long as they take the initiative in the battle for midfield, then no matter how good Chelsea's state is, the team can also play to an advantage.

――――

No media can really decipher the meaning of Wansheng's substitution, and in their opinion, replacing David Silva with Sun Jihai is a failure.

"Because Sun is Chinese, Wan Sheng let him play......"

This is a very popular argument in the media.

When many media said this, even Manchester City fans were a little convinced, because they couldn't think of a reason for Sun Jihai to replace Silva.

Chelsea boss Grant is no different.

Since Manchester City's substitution, he has been pondering the reason for the substitution, Silva's form and performance must be no problem, if such a player is placed under him, he will definitely not be replaced, but rely on Silva's performance to win.

But Wan Sheng opted to replace Silva.

Grant will definitely not think like the media about 'Wan Sheng is Chinese, Sun Jihai is also Chinese' or anything like that, this is the final of the Champions League, not a child's play, and it is impossible to take special care of it because it is from the same country...... Even if it's special care, it's completely possible to replace players like Ljungberg?

Why Silva?

That's what Grant doesn't understand.

After the game restarted, he didn't see much effect on City's substitutions, the two teams were still competing in the midfield, the battle was very fierce, and the game didn't seem to be much ...... Distinguish?

Many media commentators are criticizing Wansheng's substitution, "Sun's appearance has no effect at all, his ability is too different for Silva!" ”

"Wan Sheng is probably too nervous, he is in the Champions League final for the first time, and he is carried away by the excitement for a while......"

No one noticed that Chelsea were out of the ascendancy.

In the last few minutes, Chelsea have dominated the midfield, often passing the ball up front, and it is easy for a striker or midfielder to come up and threaten City's goal.

However, since Sun Jihai's appearance, Chelsea have not found a shot on goal.

Both teams spent more time fighting in midfield, and Manchester City were clearly more stable in both attack and defence.

The five players in Manchester City's 4231 formation in the double back and three central forwards seem to have become a whole, and each time they defend, they don't need to divide their responsibilities at all, they go directly to defend on the spot, and they are not afraid of emptiness behind them.

In a word, Manchester City even played in a disciplined manner.

It's easy to play with rules on offense, but it's hard to play with rules on defense. From the perspective of the audience, whether it is 433 or 442, it is obvious, only in this way two or three lines of defense will be formed, and the defense will not have the embarrassing situation of 'swarming to grab', and the defense line will be easy to be empty.

But when the opponent performs well, or passes the ball to a dangerous position, it is still easy for several players to grab one.

This is the position duplication of the defensive player.

The purpose of fixing the formation is to prevent the defence from being duplicated.

Now Manchester City rarely has this situation, when defending, the five players in the midfield, there is no retreat to line up any formation, they are all on the spot to defend, seeing this kind of defense, most people will feel a little chaotic, but Manchester City did not have the embarrassment of repeating the defensive position, each player performed his own duties, and played very methodically.

Chelsea players have the deepest experience.

Whenever they got the ball, it was as if City were defending from the first moment.

Especially when the football crosses the halfway line, there is usually a certain amount of space, but Manchester City players come directly to defend, they subconsciously feel that the position behind the opponent will be empty, but when the ball is passed, they find that there is not.

It's a strange and depressing feeling.

The Chelsea players couldn't understand it at all, and even the team's big players Makelele and Frank Lampard didn't understand it, so they were at a disadvantage in the midfield scramble.

――――

Looking at the performance of the team on the field, the corners of Wan Sheng's mouth twitched.

Replacing Sun Jihai was a risk, in fact, the team had not practiced the relevant tactics before.

As for the 'ambiguous position' and 'all-powerful, all-attack, and all-defending', he also 'guessed'.

This will be the future development direction of football, but at the end of the day, it is still in the 'arrangement' system of football training masters.

Wansheng often uses the 'platoon' system to compare the defensive and offensive evaluation values of each player's appearance, and some time ago he found that in the 451 formation, with Sun Jihai instead of Silva or Ozil, the team's offensive ability evaluation will not fall, and the defensive ability evaluation will rise a lot.

At the time, he didn't understand it at all.

After checking Sun Jihai's personal ability, he only found that Sun Jihai's defensive ability was slightly higher than Silva's, but there were too many personal attribute data, and there was no way to really compare, it can only be said that Sun Jihai's defensive role was greater than Silva's, but there was a big gap between the offensive ability of the two.

Why is there such a change in the evaluation of offensive and defensive ability of the 'arrangement' system if you replace a player whose defensive ability is not much stronger and whose offensive ability is much worse?

Wansheng studied for a long time and could not come to a conclusion.

In the end, he could only attribute the reason to the level of 'tactics and cooperation', and after substitutions again and again, and after comparative analysis again and again, Wan Sheng figured out a little bit of thinking, so he had the theory of 'all-round, all-attack, all-defense'.

This kind of uncertain football theory, Wan Sheng has only talked to a few assistant coaches such as Diamares, and several people are at a loss, they don't understand what it really does.

Among the players, Wan Sheng only talked to Morris.

Morris has a high reverence for Wan Sheng, in other words, he believes very much that every word Wan Sheng says, and he will understand it from his own point of view.

Thinking of this, Wan Sheng shook his head with a wry smile.

After several years of getting along, he believes that Morris will have no problem at all as a football coach after retiring.

Just when Wansheng sighed, Manchester City played better and better on the field.

Chelsea couldn't understand City's style of play and they fell behind in the midfield scramble.

Manchester City took the opportunity to constantly change positions and run, constantly interspersed with cooperation, the midfield five formed a whole, the more they played, the more tacit they became, and their continuous running and cooperation also made Chelsea begin to dizzy......
