Just like George Woodgate said, Manchester City's passing cooperation seems to have a rhythm, each of them seems to be running in disorder, but the football pass seems to have a rhythm, if you describe it, it is like the time between each pass is the same, the force seems to be the same, each player is according to a certain law in the transmission of football, transfer.

Anyone knows that this is impossible.

No team can run the same interval, and it is impossible for every pass to be the same, as a great man said, there will not be two identical leaves in the world, and it can be inferred that no two footballs will pass exactly the same, but seeing Manchester City's attack, many people have similar feelings, and it also makes Manchester City's football more pleasing to the eye.

Ferguson sat in the dugout and looked at the field solemnly.

He also saw Manchester City's beautiful football, he can be sure that this is a new thing that the Chinese young man brought to Manchester City, as a manager, he can naturally know the reason for this feeling, that is, Manchester City's transmission is according to a certain rhythm, their tactics especially emphasize rhythm, and the word rhythm is still very high-end in English football.

What is the rhythm?

The most well-known is Juventus's style of play, Juventus is called the 'old lady', precisely because their football rhythm is very slow, giving people a feeling of slow and leisurely and not slow, this is their rhythm, they use this slow rhythm, combined with a sudden increase in speed to attack to find opportunities, this is Juventus is very good at playing.

Arguably. Juventus football is full of rhythm.

Then there's another team, Real Madrid, which doesn't seem to have heard of anything rhythmic. But in fact, as a representative team in Spain, Real Madrid's tactics are the most standard of rapid penetration, and their rhythm is one word - fast, fast passing, fast coordination, often many times the opponent has not reacted, and the football has already appeared in front of the goal.

The natural counterpart to Real Madrid is Barcelona. The rhythm of Barcelona football is still quite obvious, perhaps it should be said that the rhythm of cooperation has penetrated into their bones. Their pace is always like that, even the sudden fast break gives a flat feel like water, and the opponent has not yet recovered and the football has been passed to the goal.

This is Barcelona.

of the above three teams. One is an Italian team. The other two are Spanish teams, and the three teams are still very representative in terms of technology, but it can be seen that none of them are English teams, because the English team's style of play is still relatively rough, and in terms of pure technology, English football is difficult to compare with Spanish football, which inherited South American football, or Italian football, which has been known as the 'Little World Cup' for 20 years.

Hence the word 'rhythm'. Compared to England, football is still very 'high'.

A team that can play tactically and has a rhythmic need. There are only a few of them, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, plus half of Manchester United, and perhaps Derby County last season, which does not include Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams, Chelsea built the team relatively late, it has risen in recent years, their tactical play is still relatively simple, winning is more dependent on strength and strength, Liverpool is purely rough play, just like at the end of last season, after entering the Champions League final, the European media's comments on Liverpool are almost all ' 'Rough style of play', in the eyes of the public, Liverpool is about to lose its giants.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are few teams with relatively high technical skills, perhaps because their style is attacking, if they want to play well in attack, they naturally have to drive the pace of the game faster, so those who can play rhythm, must count these two teams.

Manchester United, it can only be counted as half.

A few years ago, Manchester United could still play relatively technical football, especially during the 99 Treble, when they could be said to be star-studded, and the game was quite gorgeous, but with the aging of the 'golden generation', Manchester United's strength has declined a lot, and it is difficult for them to play the gorgeous offensive they once had, so in the past two years, Ferguson can only rely on stars to play.

Their current tactics are all built around a few stars, Van Nistelrooy is the key in the front, Rooney in the back of the Dutchman is also one of the focuses, Roy Keane is pulled back to defend, but in some ways it is purely to create opportunities for his teammates in front.

This kind of tactic built around the stars, when the stars play very well, can naturally play very well, and it is because of this that the combination of the two wings and the middle of the Manchester United team is very crucial.

As one of the core players in the frontcourt, the importance of Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United's tactics is undoubted.

At this time, C-Ronaldo's state in the game is still satisfactory, the previous game seems to belong to Manchester City, and most of the attention of the whole field is also focused on Manchester City's attack, but in fact, Manchester United is not much passive, C-Ronaldo's right side is very flexible, and there is a threat to Manchester City's defense, which still makes the old Sir very satisfied.

Manchester City's performance was a bit unexpected to him, but it was nothing more than that, and it was a good game for sure, but maybe the Chinese would regret provoking Cristiano after the game!?

Ferguson thought

Manchester City's offensive was indeed very gorgeous, this time the pass lasted a full minute, and the continuous passing cooperation made Manchester United very passive, and also made many fans cheer non-stop, and many people applauded Manchester City's wonderful performance.

However, on the whole, Manchester City's attack is not only passing, in addition to the players who pass each other, the other players are almost all running, non-stop running, this cumbersome interspersed running, the purpose of which is obviously to play the passing cooperation, each player runs as much as possible, as much as possible to make the team's formation change while maintaining stability, these are what Manchester City players have been doing, and only that. Wonderful transmission and cooperation can be played.

On the other hand, Manchester United players have a bit of a headache.

The opponent kept running, and it was very difficult for them to defend. Whether it is marking people or positioning, it is difficult to limit the opponent's constantly running style of play, such as this time, the football was at the feet of Morris, and the next second it was handed to Musampa, who did not stop the ball at all, and directly passed back to Lescott. Lescott met the ball and stabbed the ball back to Morris.

Four consecutive passes involved four players, and finally the ball returned to the feet of Morris, who had been taken, and the whole process was a one-foot pass. There is simply no way for the United players to limit it, maybe they can choose to keep an eye on Morris, but everyone knows if they do. Now the football is not coming back. This is also the most headache for them.

It's not just one player, it's Manchester City sorting out all the players.

They rely on constant running, there are always a lot of people running out of the air, so when a player wants to pass the ball, he will find that there are many teammates in the right position, and all he needs to do is to give the ball to his teammates accurately, which is easy for professional players.

In the process of this constant passing, Manchester City also played a rhythm. Their cooperation seems to have a rhythm, which greatly increases the enjoyment of the game. This is also the result of a good grasp of the offensive rhythm, which is not something that everyone in the whole team can do together, that may be possible, but it requires extremely delicate cooperation, in fact, the rhythm control still depends on the core players, Morris, Joey Barton, Andy Cole, these three are the core, if you look closely, you will find that no matter how the football is passed, it will not stagger the three, which is also the key to Manchester City's rhythm, that is, if you want to limit Manchester City's attack, then you must limit Morris, Joey Barton and Andy Cole's play.

But the game has just begun, even Ferguson can't grasp the center point so quickly, after all, he is just a coach, not omnipotent, of course, if it is so easy to be seen by Ferguson, the effect of Manchester City's month-long training really needs to be questioned.

In short, Manchester City surprised many people with the football they played.

This also includes the Manchester City players themselves.

Many of them are actually very surprised, after hearing that the team has a young coach like Wan Sheng, there are still players looking forward to him, but seeing Wan Sheng's age, even if they know in advance they will not recognize, maybe people are like this, although the ancients once said, 'Threesomes must have my teacher', ' But if the boss is younger than himself, he will definitely feel uncomfortable, professional players and coaches are not subordinate relationships, but it is actually similar to say that Manchester City players are not very convinced of Wansheng.

Even if Wan Sheng came up with this surprising set of tactics, the City players would just follow them, and they wouldn't really approve of anything until the actual effect of the tactics was known.

They've been training hard for a summer!

It's not easy to stick to it like this, but they still did it, not because of how strong their perseverance was, but because they didn't have a choice - even if they didn't recognize Wansheng, Wansheng was their head coach and had the ability to decide their fate, and they could only give in, but after all, they trained for more than a month, and everyone wanted to have an effect after working so hard.

But they still didn't expect it to work so well!

Originally, playing with Manchester United, they were very prepared to play passively, in fact, since returning to the Premier League, it has been like this for two seasons, whenever they play against Manchester United, they shout very lively, but they know the gap between the two teams, especially in this stadium, their games will be quite passive, and they can often be considered successful if they can keep the goal.

But now they have the football under their feet, no matter which direction it is passed, they will feel very relieved, because they believe that they will not concede the ball easily, and in this situation, they are not suppressed at all, but they feel that the team is a little bit suppressed by Manchester United.

How is this possible!?

They can't believe it when it's happening right in front of their eyes, and they're shocked because they've proven that adapting to a good set of tactics can make such a big difference in the team, and many Manchester United players understand why Derby County won the title last season.

Derby County were a promoted team and media reports at the start of the season did not recognise their quality, both the players and the whole, but by the end of the season they had won the league title.

It's pretty incredible.

Many Manchester City players thought about this before, and they thought that Derby County had quality in their own right. For example, their Van der Vaart and Ribery are already world-class stars, both worth more than 10 million euros. With such a value at such a young age, the future is limitless.

But now their thinking has changed, maybe Derby County won the championship not because of how strong they are, but because they have a capable manager, and the coach tailors the tactics for them, so that their overall strength has improved a lot, so after they adapt to the tactics, they have the strength to fight with the top teams.

The capable coach came to Manchester City. A set of tactics was also developed for Manchester City.

Now they are practicing this tactic.

They started with the attitude of giving it a try, and now they have a lot of confidence, not just to suppress the situation. They also found a lot of things. One of the more important points is the chance, they are constantly passing the cooperation and at the same time, they are also constantly watching, so they will find that the team has the initiative. Manchester United, on the other hand, was unable to attack. At the same time, the defense was a little stretched a few times, the opponent was obviously a little uncomfortable with their style of play, and there were a few mistakes, if they could be bolder, maybe they would have found a good one.

As a result, their confidence in tactics is even stronger

At this time, Manchester City played another wave of attacks, and the football reached the feet of Morris.

Morris is the heart of the midfield, and his partner is Manchester City's famous 'bad boy' Joey Barton.

Joey Barton is 23 years old and has not had a smooth career. At the age of 14, he was also dropped by Everton's academy and then refused to go to Nottingham Forest because of his thin health. It was only in the end that he came to Manchester City. Since he has been in Manchester City since he was 15 years old, and has also entered Manchester City's U-16 and U-18 youth teams, Joey Barton can be regarded as a star produced by Manchester City's academy, and in the eyes of Manchester City fans, he is equivalent to 'Manchester City's child'.

Joey Barton has also been doing quite well, and with his academy background, he has been very popular with the team and the fans, and perhaps because of that, he has had some problems with discipline.

But it may be a minor issue, and Joey Barton is also a headache when he gets on the field.

He received seven yellow cards and one red card last season, which is definitely very high for a midfielder, and even a very high number for any player in any position, which shows how much of a headache Joey Barton has on the field.

In comparison, he is like Cassano of the Italian Roma team, who is 'bad' on and off the pitch and will give every manager a headache.

But it must be admitted that players with such personality are often geniuses.

Now Joey Barton is showing his talent, not how much he plays, but his 'bad eyes' are reappearing, and when his teammates are trying to attack, he thinks about what he said before the game.

"We're going to target Cristiano Ronaldo! His combination with Ruud van Nistelrooy up front has always been a problem for United, and he doesn't like to drop back defensively, so when he has the chance, he attacks from the left flank! ”

Joey Barton is very unconvinced by C-Ronaldo, or rather, he is more famous than himself, especially the younger players are not convinced, so he is quite unhappy with C-Ronaldo, he deeply remembers Wansheng's words, and now he is ready to practice.

If you have the opportunity, you can teach Cristiano Ronaldo a lesson, it would be great.

Soon he found the C-Ronaldo position.

Cristiano Ronaldo was slowly retreating, Joey Barton was running parallel to him, and then he made a very covert gesture towards the middle, and Morris saw it and passed the ball over.

The football pass was a few metres in front of Joey Barton and of course a few metres in front of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Joey Barton knew that Morris was going to pass the ball, so he rushed up first, and as a result, he directly left C-Ronaldo behind, although C-Ronaldo is also very explosive, but after all, the reaction was a little slower, and as a result, he could only watch Joey Barton rush over to get the ball, and there was no way at all.

Joey Barton got the ball, glanced at C-Ronaldo behind him, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

Looking for an opportunity from the left?

Very good!

It's great to make Cristiano Ronaldo deflated! (To be continued......)
