Lambert was so happy after the game that he told the media after the game: "It is a surprise to defeat them, which makes us proud! You should know that they are one of the best teams in Europe!"

Manchester City was surprised by Villa, and a few people criticized Wen Sheng for setting up troops.

Because Manchester City had a Champions League match on the evening of October 1, the Champions League is of course much more important than Villa's game, so Wensheng made some adjustments to the starting lineup, and some main players did not play. Then these commentators concluded that "Manchester City took arrogance to Villa Park Stadium!"

In the pre-Champions League press conference two days later, Wen Sheng responded: "We have never dealt with the game with arrogance! I am sure we are very serious in every game! Losing to Villa is not the end of the world. In the eyes of some people, maybe we are the end of the world now, but we are still at the forefront of the standings!"

After losing to Villa, Manchester City still scored 15 points, and this score has been caught up by Liverpool, but Manchester City still ranked first because of his goal difference.

"These critics are used to picking mistakes! On the one hand, I admire their courage to pick their bones, but on the other hand, seriously, I'm tired of their chatter!"

I offend people and fear a bird. Anyway, I have offended many journalists over the years. Everyone is spitting on their own. Who cares about being generous?!

The tough swept the face of some critics and finally returned to the Champions League.

Naples' current head coach is Benitez. Benitez and Wensheng have played against each other in the Premier League. Everyone has lost and won. Last season, the two of them had a skin in the Premier League, but the relationship is not very stiff.

Benitez caught a good time. De Laurentis was very careful when he was leading the team a few years ago. This summer, they sold Cavani at a high price in the transfer market for 64 million euros. The buyer was Paris Saint-German.

After getting the money, the movie tycoon, Dergeant, did not hesitate to pay money, gave Benitez a sufficient fiscal budget and snatched Higuain from Arsenal. They originally planned to grab Mertens from Manchester United, but Mertens's price was too high, so Napoli gave up in the end, but Mertens was injured after arriving at Manchester United and failed to play in the previous Manchester City derby.

When he met Naples, Wen Sheng was still a little proud and poached Albiol from Real Madrid. Naples failed to find other central defenders this summer. The reinforcement plan on the defense went bankrupt. Manchester City accidentally drew them in the Champions League. The summer's deal is just a harm to others and self-interest!

Benitez has fought with Wen Sheng, so he knew that he would have a little bit of a big deal before the game, and that psychological battles had almost zero effect on Manchester City, so he was so low-key.

In the last round of the league, Villa defeated Manchester City, and Benitez just said: "It may be an accident for them in such a game! I think they are still the biggest favorites for the Premier League champions!"

Now it's Wensheng's turn to start the press conference before the game. Wensheng also praised Benitez, "Naples performed very well! When I was at Crystal Palace, I led the team to play against them. I have to say that they left a deep impression on me! Benitez is a 100% champion coach. He led Napoli in the new season. He has not lost a single game. He performed very strongly in the Serie A! They also have the ability to cause trouble for us!"

No matter how praise is, the three points on your lips cannot be denied.

Milner, who followed Wensheng to attend the press conference, said: "It's very uncomfortable for us to lose to Villa. Now the whole team is gathering an emotion. We need to respond to it in the game against Naples! We hope to do better than last season!"

......

On the evening of the 1st, the Etihad Stadium was naturally full, but the weather was a little unbeatable, and there was a fine rain at night.

The rain is not too heavy, but it will definitely have an impact on the stadium. Wen Sheng repeatedly reminded the defenders to be cautious when handling the ball before the game.

The so-called prudence here mainly means that everyone must have an accurate prediction of the ball running speed. If the grass is stained with water, the running speed is relatively fast. If the defender is not cautious enough when handling the ball, stopping the ball and passing the ball will be affected. In this case, everyone needs to focus and not be at will.

"Long time no see! Raphael!" Two head coaches who had fought in the Premier League met in the Champions League. As landlords, Wen Sheng checked the right time to wait for Benitez at the entrance of the passage.

"Long time no see, Daniel!" Benitez also had a warm smile on his face.

Wensheng took the lead in opening his arms. Benitez naturally didn't want to let Wensheng down and hugged each other.

"It seems that the climate in the Mediterranean is quite nourishing. I think your complexion is much better than it was a few months ago!" Wen Sheng joked with a smile.

"Or come to Italy too, let's fight in the Serie A field!" Benitez invited.

"I can't say it's good, I'll try it in Italy in the future! They all say that my style is like an Italian coach, but I haven't been in Italy for a day. Maybe I can try it!" Wen Sheng smiled.

Players from both sides left the court.

Manchester City has changed back to 4231.

Manchester City used 442 when they played against Manchester United. In that game, Wen Sheng made up his mind to give Manchester United something fun, called 442, but in fact it can be considered 2422. Both fullbacks were mentioned in the midfield position, which was quite bold and radical. Of course, the game achieved miraculous results.

This game is the Champions League, and Wensheng dare not take risks like that. In the derby game, Manchester City actually didn't pay much attention to ball control, and there were more adventures. In this game, Manchester City needed to talk about control. The configuration of the three midfielders was relatively safe, so he changed back to 4231 in this game.

Speaking of which, after the derby, Manchester City never used 442. They played Wigan in the League Cup and lost to Villa in the last round.

Goalkeeper: Navas

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Van Dijk, Albiol, Hills

Middleback: Wan Yama, Milner

Attacking midfielder: De Bruyne, Kroos, Silva

Forward: Dzeko.

Wen Sheng made some rotations in the defense line, Walker took the rotation, and Albiol came out because of Kompany's toe inflammation. Hills also started against Villa in the last game, and continued to start in this game.

Wen Sheng used two very capable players in the midfield, Wan Yama and Milner. Originally, this article wanted to use Casemiro and Wan Yama's partner, but considering that the two had never partnered and the game was very important, so I simply moved Milner, who was originally playing on the right back, to the middle partner Wan Yama.

The frontcourt are three front midfielders, De Bruyne, Kroos and Silva are all players with midfielder attributes. Of course, De Bruyne and Silva's performance has always been quite good in the wing position.

The single striker Wensheng still used Dzeko, who had greater tactical value, while Aguero sat on the bench helplessly.

I wonder what other poor clubs feel when they see Aguero sitting on the bench?!
