"We are too eager!" Cardiff did a good job in limiting Manchester City's shooting. On the contrary, Manchester City can only comment on the offense that it has not done well enough. Wen Sheng criticized the players in his first sentence in an interview with reporters after the game.

"I have to praise Cardiff, they really performed well! And we lacked organization in the midfield in this game and played too directly! We need to maintain enough patience when facing such an opponent." Wen Sheng commented on the performance of the midfield in the second sentence.

Although De Bruyne contributed an assist, Wensheng still had enough reason to be dissatisfied with him. De Bruyne's sense of rhythm does not seem to be too strong. I don't know if it was because of his long-term activities on the wing. The midfield he led today is controllable but lacks a sense of rhythm.

"Daniel, do you hate Cardiff's way of playing football?!" Sky Sports reporter suddenly asked.

"It's not annoying! I've said it just now, and I appreciate them very much! From my style, I think they have adopted the right tactical approach! Of course, this is bad for us!" Wen Sheng smiled.

"In the future, our game will face this normal! Every team will seriously study us, our tactics, our formation position, our role positioning, including all our players. They will develop detailed tactics to limit our offense, prevent us from scoring goals, and prevent us from winning! So our challenges in the new season will be greater, and we need to pay more to the championship than last season!"

"Can you talk to us about your response?!" the reporter asked again.

"There is no secret, keeping a good physical and mental state, we can beat any opponent!"

"that's all?!"

"It's very simple! Things are not complicated in themselves!"

This question itself is not very meaningful, and Wensheng answered it without nutrition.

Want to deal with the enemy with more thorough defense? Of course, you should attack hard!

...

When he returned to the locker room, the Manchester City players were in a very good mood. Dzeko finally had a smile. In the second half, he showed his attitude with practical actions and was willing to obey the head coach's arrangements.

Wen Sheng has been in charge of the team for more than a year and has been praising and encouraging in the locker room, but from now on, there will be no less criticism.

Players have donkey attributes, and sometimes they won’t move without giving them a whip.

The next day, De Bruyne also went to Wensheng's office to talk about yesterday's game.

Wensheng himself also wanted to talk to De Bruyne, because De Bruyne should not be just a winger. Even if he is a winger now, he should understand Wensheng's tactical spirit thoroughly.

"You are becoming more and more like a winger now! A world-class winger! You can pass the ball and cut in, and even do a very good job on the defensive end, and can consider the teammates behind you! But the last game was definitely not the kind of game I wanted! You know what I need!"

"Control?" De Bruyne blurted out.

"Yes, control! Is Barcelona's game very good?!" Wen Sheng asked back.

De Bruyne's answer did not surprise Wensheng at all, "It's not good-looking!"

If he had always been under Guardiola's men, he might have accepted Guardiola's style in football tactics, but he was not led by Guardiola. He was trained by Wen Sheng. The core of Wen Sheng is the utilization rate of the ball.

No matter how much the ball is used, it will be useless.

Wensheng nodded, "I don't think their transmission control is beautiful either. Sometimes it looks really sleepy!"

"The core of our new season is to use the ball rights in our hands. Sometimes you play too directly. Making good ball rights does not mean not taking the necessary ball. When it is time to detour, you still need to detour! The attack method is not static. When treating different enemies at different moments, we can slow down or speed up. We can give up the ball rights or grasp the ball rights! In short, this requires your understanding on the court!"

"You are indeed playing for the winger here, but you can't stick to the wingers in your mind! You have the ability to take on greater responsibilities, so you need to interpret the game. Your midfielder is the brain and the baton of the whole team's rhythm!"

"Just talking about the last game, everyone was blindly attacking and sending balls to their penalty area, so what was the result?! Not good, really bad! Our shots were even lower than I expected! On the one hand, everyone was in a bad state, and on the other hand, you, the commander, did not do well!"

"You have to think about it carefully next! I will let him play in the midfield position below. David will be the midfield position, but sometimes they can exchange positions, and sometimes you can also exchange positions with them. I hope that the three of you can form a good tacit understanding as soon as possible. The team's performance this season depends largely on your performance! Do you understand?!"

De Bruyne nodded and asked some questions about his own doubts. Wensheng answered them very seriously.

Some head coaches are not willing to tell players too many tactical issues because many players don’t like to listen. They prefer the head coach to tell you what your role looks like, but Wensheng is different from those coaches. Every time he goes to a place, he always puts the team first. He always emphasizes that everyone’s role positioning is not isolated, but based on the team’s foundation, which means that he hopes that the players can look at the problem from a global perspective.

In the last game, he criticized Dzeko, why?! Because Dzeko did not stand at the height of the team to think about the problem. He cared too much about his competition with Aguero, and he cared too much about whether he could get a goal opportunity.

Wensheng cannot make sure that everyone in the team will understand what the head coach is thinking, but as a person like De Bruyne, they really need to think about it and listen to Wensheng's opinions. Wensheng also relies on them to promote his tactics to the team's actual combat.

"Fuck, they always say I'm the head coach of the conservative! But I'm not the fuck. I really want to put defense first, but that doesn't mean I don't consider offense!" Wensheng told De Bruyne all the tactical ideas he had from the Crystal Palace era.

De Bruyne was listening attentively. When he was about to finish, Wen Sheng asked him with a smile: "Dingding, what do you mean by saying these words to you?"

"The tactics are not constant?!"

"Yes, I don't have any fixed ideas. My tactical ideas are all based on utilitarian perspectives! In particular, it is actually the same in every game. The tactics are not static. I remember I said that you have autonomy. There is only one goal on the court, that is, win, and you can try it for the sake of how to change the tactics and position!"
