56. Glue
Wen Sheng told Aguero earlier that one of his goals this season is to lead the team to surpass the Premier League goal record set by Chelsea. Of course, if you want to score a goal, you need to attack, but a few days later, Wen Sheng said today that our most important thing is victory. Is it okay to change this way?!
There is nothing wrong with it. The players are not fools. In such an important game against Real Madrid, Wen Sheng said this just to calm everyone down.
"Oh, it's worthy of its reputation!" Tuley thought silently in his heart. Listening to Van Dik's gossip, Wen Sheng used to be good at "spraying cold water" on everyone, but now he's starting to pour cold water again.
Toure is not satisfied with his current positioning. He hopes that he can get more freedom and interact more with the frontcourt as usual, but if he can also accept Wen Sheng's arrangement, he is a professional player and the head coach's idea needs to be followed.
If Wen Sheng beat him up, of course he would not be willing to fight Wen Sheng, but Wen Sheng always regarded him as the main force and the team was in excellent condition. Even if he was not satisfied, he could only endure it.
This is the most wise saying in the football world: “Victory can heal everything!”
As long as Wensheng can lead everyone to victory, he Toure will not cause any big waves.
Hart sat on the bench and talked and laughed with his teammates around him, discussing the game enthusiastically, but who could know the pain in his heart? When Navas first arrived, he didn't feel it, thinking that it was the substitute brought to him by Wensheng.
After training for a while, Hart began to feel the pressure that Navas brought to him. Gold always shines. Navas is such a person, with abnormal training methods, strong reactions, and better skills under his feet. Hart began to believe that Navas was bought by Wensheng as the main force and was to replace him.
When he started in the league, his suspicion of Wensheng disappeared without a trace, but Stoke City doesn't have much of his position against Real Madrid recently. Wensheng's reason also told him that Navas is more capable at feet, and the team needs to pass and control in the backcourt to crack Real Madrid's intensive defense, but Hart once again feels that his position may be out of stock.
"I have to talk to him!" Hartyan joked with his teammates indifferently, but he made up his mind to want a clear future.
......
The fifteen-minute intermission ended.
Wen Sheng found that Mourinho could not hold on to the substitution. Essin, who performed poorly in the first half, was replaced by Modric. This substitution made him a little confused.
Modric spent 35 million pounds from Real Madrid, and was also one of the extremely expensive midfielders in the market in the summer. However, this deal was similar to Essim's deal. When it was completed, the summer window of La Liga was about to be closed. Modric came to Real Madrid and only practiced with the team for more than ten days.
"Switch to Modric?! Because he is a former Premier League player?!" Wensheng complained.
Mourinho did not replace the Turkish. Wensheng believes that Modric's strength in the early stages should be used to make up for the shortcomings of his failure to work with his teammates for too long. There is only one way. No matter how much, Modric commands the ball!
After playing for a while, Wen Sheng finally realized that Mourinho really let Modric be fully responsible for the dispatch of the midfield. Modric's advantage over the Turks is that his organizational ability is quite excellent. Tottenham has seen Modric's ability to advance into the midfield and break through. In fact, this guy's organizational ability is also very good. However, in the Premier League environment, Tottenham's tactical play does not require him to play the organizational ability. After all, Lao Lei will never think about letting Tottenham play Barcelona's way of doing it.
The Turkish will not retreat too much in the front midfield position, and Real Madrid's midfield organization is still a big problem. Mourinho may also see that Real Madrid's problem is that the offense and defense system is a bit disordered, Essin is in poor condition, and Alonso and Khdira are not in good condition. Modric is sent to make the offense and defense system of Real Madrid become one.
Mourinho's substitution is indeed targeted and targeted. After Real Madrid obtained the ball, they no longer simply launched from the backcourt to find the two wings. Instead, with Modric's dispatch, they sometimes hit quickly and sometimes control, and the offensive quality has been greatly improved.
On Manchester City, after losing the ball as Wen Sheng's instructions, they immediately retreated to consolidate their own defense.
In the 56th minute, Di Maria broke through Krish and made a cross, and Van Dijk headed the ball to clear the ball.
In the 61st minute, Modric passed the ball, and Di Maria also made a cross from the bottom. Ronaldo shot from the far end of the penalty area, his strength was weak, and Navas easily got it.
In the 65th minute, Modric passed the ball, Higuain gave Ronaldo the ball, and Ronaldo forced a shot under Melo's defense. The ball hit Melo's leg and was cleared by Kompany.
In just a few minutes, Real Madrid had several threatening balls, but Ronaldo's shot was not very threatening.
Wen Sheng did not say anything about this. Real Madrid just seems dangerous. A shot like Ronaldo has no way to stop him from shooting if he wants to shoot. Milner only said that he would not easily get a shot opportunity and interfere with his shot. Anyway, Ronaldo's shooting success rate is relatively low under the interference of Manchester City players.
Real Madrid played lively, and Manchester City didn't give in too much. In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Manchester City also got several good opportunities. Without exception, they were attacks launched from the midfield and backcourt. De Bruyne even staged a good show of breaking through 40 meters. Unfortunately, Manchester City's old habits remained, and they couldn't seize the opportunity for a long time, but the opportunity passed.
Wen Sheng was so angry that he jumped. The more Manchester City did not make the game, the more he felt a bad premonition. Real Madrid's tactics in the second half were different, and their overallness was getting better and better. After getting the ball, they no longer used blind long passes as the main means to attack. On the contrary, they also began to control the ball.
This move is almost a replica of the tactical tactics of Crystal Palace against Barcelona. The opponent's possession of the ball reached the extreme. Wen Sheng led Crystal Palace to fight for the ball rights and try to keep the ball at his feet for a while.
However, Real Madrid's strength is much stronger than Crystal Palace at the beginning of last season. The ball can be controlled and transmitted, and can convert the ball's rights into a threatening ball.
In the 70th minute, Mourinho made another personnel adjustment and replaced Higuain with Benzema. It was a miracle that Higuain was just out of the field now. The Argentine center has only completed one shot so far, and the number of touches is only more than ten times. It is hard to imagine that this data was contributed by him.
Higuain is relatively not tall, Mourinho probably valued his sense of smell in front of the goal. He was not originally a fulcrum forward. Manchester City had the advantage in the control ratio in the first half. It was normal for him to get a few goals. Long passes from the backcourt were basically gone without returning. The tall and tall Van Dijk and Kompani were at a disadvantage.
