190. Mistakes
Wen Sheng also saw his idol Beckham on the sidelines. He liked Beckham very much. He also spoke to Beckham before the 10-year South Africa World Cup. Later, Beckham expressed his gratitude to him privately.
Apart from this connection, Wensheng and Beckham have no other intersection. He did not think of taking Beckham into his pocket, not because Beckham is too old, but because he is too expensive. There is no doubt that he could not convince Beckham to join during the Crystal Palace period. As for now when he is in Manchester City, he is rich, but unfortunately, Beckham is really old and his strength is not as good as he was back then.
The Paris team is not bad in the midfield, but mainly in the defender. The players who played today are top-notch, and the others are also quite famous, but Maxville and Alex said to be fair to say that they do not face their own strength in the mainstream league.
Maxville's agent is also Raiola. It is said that the reason he can go to Paris to get a high income is Ibrahimovic. He has a very good relationship with Ibrahimovic, otherwise Paris Saint-Germain might not look down on him at all.
Even though Paris's defense is a relatively weak link, Wensheng has no intention of being aggressive at the beginning of this game.
In fact, Ancelotti doesn't, either. After the opening, both teams played very carefully.
Manchester City's defensive strategy is very different from the previous game against Dortmund. In the last game against Dortmund, Manchester City usually defends in the form of a bus, compressing the defensive formation very flat. The focus of the defense is on the space inside and outside the penalty area. However, in this game, Manchester City placed the focus of the defense close to the center circle, and the personnel did not easily retreat near the penalty area.
This move is mainly to deal with Ibrahimovic.
With Ibrahimovic on the court, his body is a great threat. It is impossible to rule out that Paris Saint-Germain organizes the offense with him as the fulcrum. It is too close to his goal and has too many variables. It spreads the defense on the one hand, which can intercept their passes on the periphery, and on the other hand, it is to prevent their midfielders from entering. Even if Ibrahimovic is powerful, he has no teammates to cover him, and he can only fight alone, and the chance of success will be greatly reduced.
In the third minute, Beckham made a little slower shot. Wan Yama, who was strong and strong, seized the opportunity to cut off Beckham's foot. Then Manchester City got a chance to counterattack on the spot. Dzeko received a cross from De Bruyne in the middle and headed the ball and missed the crossbar. Manchester City took the lead in completing the first shot of the game.
"Paris Saint-Germain's midfielder should be careful. Manchester City's counterattack this time is very threatening!" Manchester City's counterattack was very smooth. Although Paris's formation was not very strong, the two full-backs could also return to defense in time, but De Bruyne still completed the crossing from the wing, and the quality of He Wei could not help but "remind" Paris.
"Ding Ding's crossing level is really high!" Zhang Wei exclaimed.
"Does De Bruyne often practice in daily training?!" The competition was not very intense, so He Wei simply took it and said something off topic.
"This is for sure. He often practiced more when he was in Crystal Palace. Daniel once forced him not to practice more, worried that his body would be affected! If you want to become a good player, hard training is indispensable! Ding Ding also paid a lot of sweat for his worth of 50 million pounds!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.
"His cross is very distinctive, with strong penetration, and it is generally rare to afford a high ball!" He Wei pointed out.
"Yes, this was the case before, but now there are new changes when it comes to Manchester City!" Zhang Wei explained, "In the past, at Crystal Palace, the single striker was Valdy, with a slightly weaker heading ability and strong point-grabbing ability, so De Bruyne did not use a lot of high ball crosses, but at Manchester City, Dzeko, De Bruyne's high ball crosses have become more, and sometimes his strength control is softer!"
......
The game gradually became more intense, and Manchester City's defensive strategy did bring some trouble to Paris Saint-Germain. Their long passes to Ibrahimovic were not very effective. Kompani was not inferior in the confrontation with him. Sometimes his teammates didn't come, and he could only fight alone, and the effect was not good.
This move is not particularly effective. Paris began to try to control the ball, but Manchester City would not retreat, so the two sides fought fiercely near the midfield. Paris averaged 60% of the ball possession in the league, and had a strong control in the Ligue 1. However, in the Champions League, hehe, that's a different matter. It's okay to meet a weaker opponent, but it's almost difficult to achieve the kind of control in the league in the semi-finals.
Both sides play cautiously. Sometimes they don’t have a good chance after intercepting the ball and will not forcefully fight back. Instead, they will control it. Therefore, the rhythm is not as good as the Premier League. Of course, this has a lot to do with Wensheng’s strategy. If he put on the bus, it will probably be difficult for Paris to get up quickly even if he wants to.
In the 14th minute, Paris completed a very threatening attack. After Lavic and his fellow villager Pastore made wonderful cooperation, he shook Milner and entered the penalty area, shot at a small angle, and had a very good power. Fortunately, Navas was very focused and pressed the ball under him twice.
Lavic held his head and regretted. After playing for a while, Paris completed two shots in total, and this was the best opportunity.
Milner was very alert. He did not do well in defense just now. Lavic was originally a smart shooter with very good dribbling skills. His continuous body shaking easily caused him to suffer.
Ancelotti's mouth has become an "O" shape, and he feels a little sorry for this opportunity. Manchester City's team is famous for its hard defense. Not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League. In the knockout stage, Malaga and Dortmund were suffocated to death, so the opportunity is becoming more and more precious.
Manchester City only completed the opening shot, and the offense was not very good. Mainly because Matuidi performed well, Paris's defensive position was also excellent, Dzeko was also hit hard, and Aguero's condition seemed not very good.
In the 21st minute, the Parisian Matuidi, who performed very well, made an unforgivable mistake. After intercepting the ball in the midfield, this guy made a mistake when he transitioned to the backcourt. Then Aguero intercepted the ball before Thiago Silva. After the ball was provoked, he directly chose to volleyball. The shot was directly hit in the upper left corner of the goal, and Siligu didn't even react!
"I just praised him, and I'm making a mistake!" Zhang Wei was amused and crying. He praised Matuidi just a minute or two ago.
"He just has too rough feet, and passing the ball always gives people an unstable feeling!" He Wei was telling the truth.
