266. Small win over Cardiff

Ma Kai's plan is to counterattack defensively and set up a bus in front of his own goal. Although Manchester City was away, they took the lead in the away game. They played very proactively and their formation was very high.

After the last game, Silva's toe was trampled and a little swollen. She couldn't play in this game, so Wensheng put De Bruyne in the middle position, with the wingers on both wings being led by Chamberlain and Nasri.

It can be seen that Makai's Cardiff is indeed well prepared for this game, and Manchester City's condition has declined compared to the first round. Although suppressing, it has been delayed to find a breakthrough.

Center Dzeko has become their key guardian, with many small defensive moves. Dzeko also wants to be successful today, but his opponent is too rogue, so he keeps asking the referee to complain, and his heart is full of resentment.

Wen Sheng had no good idea on the sidelines. Chamberlain was faster than Gou Zuo, but to be honest, he couldn't compare with Gou Zuo. When the opponent set up a bus, he couldn't create a good opportunity. He didn't do well to dodge his opponent's cross.

Nasri is the highlight. Perhaps because he has been a teammate with De Bruyne for a longer time, the tacit understanding between the two is obviously much better, so he played on this side very well, but it is still difficult to score.

Manchester City got a lot of set pieces in the first half, but Cardiff has never made any mistakes.

At the end of the half game, the score was 0:0. It seems that Manchester City has no choice but to use this promoted team.

"I learned this tactic from you!" Although the score seemed a bit bad, Kidd was in the mood to joke.

"This is a good tactic!" Wen Sheng also smiled, and then said depressedly, "This situation is probably the norm we say we need to face this season!"

This is not the first time Wensheng has proposed this kind of tune, and the members of the coaching staff deeply feel the same.

Wensheng believes that breaking the bus and tactics are actually not very meaningful. The key is to rely on the players. The better the players' ability and the more tacit the team understands, the greater the probability of breaking the bus.

It is difficult for any team to hold for 90 minutes.

Newcastle, the unlucky guy in the first round, also tried hard to defend, but they could not hold on at all.

What is the purpose of the defensive players' training day after day?! It is to avoid making mistakes, but the word "not making mistakes" is too difficult for them to do.

When Dzeko returned to the locker room, he kept complaining about the referee and complaining that his opponent was too disgusting. From his words, he could feel that he was very unhappy.

Wen Sheng asked him about this, "Is it meaningful for you to complain now?! They do like to make small moves, but they are too eager to make contributions! Pay more attention to your teammates and think more about the team! If you do this, you may feel better on the court!"

Wen Sheng said something, Dzeko's old face turned red. Seeing Aguero gaining the upper hand in the competition, Dzeko was also anxious. Now that he has the opportunity to start, he certainly hopes to prove himself.

But he forgot one thing: a striker not only needs to score goals, but in Wensheng, the team is a more important existence. There are many forwards who can score goals and assist. Characters such as Ronaldo and Messi are almost weak, but what's the use? The team they are in can not win the Champions League every year.

Wensheng's words were said in front of everyone, and Dzeko could only accept them in a depressed manner.

I have to say that coaching has achieved results, Wen Sheng's prestige is also increasing day by day. Last year, he would rather talk to the players in private, but now he is showing his prestige publicly. Doing so will help his tactical ideas be implemented accurately.

Of course, necessary communication should be done in private.

Wensheng was too lazy to say what you should do, but in fact, Dzeko was unsure of what he should do?! He had, he just wanted to score goals too much and hoped that his teammates would create opportunities.

After the halftime break, Dzeko changed his playing style, and the players also realized that they changed their playing style, and their mentality became more peaceful.

The game was calm, until the 64th minute, Kompany received a set piece from De Bruyne, which finally opened the door to victory for Manchester City.

Wen Sheng also breathed a sigh of relief. After the start of the second half, Manchester City played more relaxed, his mentality stabilized, and Dzeko's performance improved a lot. He began to retreat frequently to help support him, but to be honest, Manchester City still has few opportunities. Cardiff may be particularly excited against the champion, and he united in defense.

Captain Kompany's goal was also a relief for Manchester City players, and this goal hit Cardiff players a heavy blow.

Thinking about it, it’s okay to work hard to keep it for more than 60 minutes, but the opponent scored a goal in one set piece. I feel that I have worked hard but didn’t get the rewards I deserve.

Most of these players in Cardiff have never played in the Premier League. They have just been promoted to the league and are not very good at their mental quality.

Less than two minutes after Kompany scored, their own central defender made a mistake. Nasri seized the opportunity to cross, Dzeko scored a header, and Manchester City quickly expanded the score to 2:0.

Ma Kai's face was as dark as coke on the sidelines. Compared with Manchester City, his own players were obviously not as good as their psychological quality. They would panic if they lost a goal. What's the matter?!

The missed central defender is Cock. He just came to Cardiff from Tottenham this summer and spent 8 million pounds of transfer fees from Cardiff. Cock also has another identity. He was recruited by Huo Taigong into the England national team in November last year and also played for the England national team.

"That's all!" Ma Kai originally thought that the young central defender had good psychological quality, but he didn't expect to make a joke about him.

Ma Kai should also feel fortunate that after losing the second goal, Cardiff did not make any more mistakes and did not make a joke of losing the big score.

Of course, the first year of the Premier League didn't seem to be very good. They lost to West Ham United 0:2 away in the first game, and now they lost to Manchester City at home with the same score. It's really hard to get along with the Premier League.

Ma Kai has already felt the strong pressure.

"Although I lost two goals and lost this score, it was a bit regrettable, but I am still happy for the performance of the boys! We did a very good job in more than 60 minutes, but when facing opponents like Manchester City, any small mistake could have serious consequences. Kompany's goal made us a little depressed, and that goal changed the game!"

Cardiff is already very fragile, so Ma Kai naturally cannot criticize his players, so he can only find some good things.

It's okay for him to say this. Manchester City only had 15 shots in the whole game, which is relatively low, which fully proves that their defense is doing well.
