Wensheng's tactical prediction of Benitez was not accurate. In fact, Napoli did not play impulsively and aggressively after the kick-off, and their formation was kept very compact.

Manchester City originally intended to give up control and defend first to eliminate the opponent's patience of attack. Therefore, coupled with Naples' own cautious attitude, the active running caused Manchester City to be at the bottom at the beginning.

Manchester City's defense did not retreat very deeply, but today they suffered a loss in the midfield, at least at the beginning. With their unremitting running and tacit understanding of the position, Naples suppressed Manchester City's midfield.

Although he had predicted that his opponent was definitely not a good fight and would be crazy in this game, Wensheng still did not expect that his own midfielder was at the bottom of the confrontation.

Wen Sheng himself also ignored the fact that in terms of controlling the flow, Manchester City has only one real midfielder, that is Wan Yama, but Kroos and Silva can control it. The team can control the situation by using the control the flow technique. If you take the initiative to recover like now, when encountering Napoli, the deficits in midfield defense will be easily exposed.

Of course, the premise of all this still depends on the state, and Naples enters the state faster.

In the third minute, Napoli played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt. Higuain received a pass from Pandev, took the opportunity, and then shot low in the far corner. Hart was very focused and hugged the ball steadily.

This is Naples' first shot.

Van Dijk suffered a loss in the battle this time, saying that he was physically speaking, defensive skills, and he was quite outstanding, but the key is that his opponent Higuain is really not weak, and this kid is really very evil.

Wen Sheng touched his chin. Higuain's shot was not particularly threatening, but the team still had to be very careful in defense. Higuain's most prominent aspect is shooting.

He is different from Van Persie. Van Persie's goals often have a surprisingly eye-catching goal, while Higuain's goals basically seem very plain, but he can score, has good running position, accurate shooting skills, and is concise and clear.

Just like this time shot, he played the time difference, and Van Dijk was not too tight to keep a close eye on him, but he took the ball and stepped on it in two small steps, then shot, piercing Van Dijk's crotch, making people unable to defend themselves.

Change the striker, if you ask Dzeko, Dzeko is not as good as Higuain.

Of course, Higuain is very useful, but Wen Sheng never thought of introducing him. This guy's body management is really a problem.

"It's actually appropriate to try to control the ball and minimize the time they hold the ball!" Taking advantage of the dead ball, Wen Sheng grabbed Milner with a move. Napoli was in good shape. In just six or seven minutes, they had already sent the ball into Manchester City's penalty area twice. Once Higuain completed a shot, and the other time Higuain headed the ball but failed to fight Kompani.

After all, they can accomplish these threats, but there are too many balls under their feet, so Wensheng has such a saying.

Milner understood and immediately communicated with his teammates, and the team began to try to do some control.

"Naples did a really good job at the beginning. Several cooperations, including ball control, have gained the upper hand! Manchester City's state, hey, it's no wonder that they can't win the last two games, they are not in good shape!" Director Zhang commented in the live broadcast room as he watched the game.

"Manchester City has the habit of slow warming up!" said Jun Ge.

Like many fans, Director Zhang hopes that this is a wonderful offensive battle, but now it seems to be contrary to his wishes. Manchester City is at the bottom whether intentionally or unintentionally, with a low possession rate and only completed the shot once. It is Costa’s shot on the side that he didn’t know whether it was a pass or a shot.

Fifteen minutes passed, and Benitez looked at his watch, a little anxious.

He has to be in a hurry. It is not enough to score three points in this game. His team needs a lot of goal difference. The more time goes on, the more unfavorable it is for Napoli.

He also noticed the changes in his opponents. Manchester City began to try to control the ball and no longer easily transfer the ball to the frontcourt to find Dzeko.

This is not a good sign. Of course, he knows that the ball is passed too many times under the opponent's feet is not a good thing.

Of course, his team can also use active scrambling to force a quick exchange of ball rights and then create opportunities.

But this is very risky, right?! This is true on the football field. Opportunities are equal. Physics also said that the effects of forces are mutual. If you look at the opportunity of ball exchange, you want to attack on the spot. Maybe the opponent will counterattack you in the next second!

Wen Sheng walked around the sidelines, constantly shouting the names of the players on the court.

The commentators were satisfied and the fans were satisfied. He didn't know whether he was quite satisfied anyway. His players were really smart. Although at the beginning of the game, everyone was not very adapted to Napoli's tactical arrangement, but in the passive situation, everyone gradually adjusted their mentality and state, and slowly began to compete with Napoli for the ball rights.

What is most beneficial to the team is of course a step-by-step positional battle. If Naples fights to the death, it is not easy. Just look for the two wings, and Costa's blast may also achieve results.

In the 21st minute, Manchester City controlled the midfield. Cross passed the ball to Hills on the wing, Callejon pressed, Hills passed the ball to Cross again. Cross passed the ball directly, and Costa on the left side got the ball. At this time, the Naples players were eager to grab the ball under Manchester City's feet, and the position was loose, and the distance between the defense line and the midfield was too large.

Costa got the opportunity to face Mesto alone, and Costa did not disappoint at all. He stopped and started quickly, and passed Mesto completely.

Then cut inward from the bottom, attracting Fernandez who came to defend, and sending back the small penalty area. Dzekola's bow and arrows were used to push and shoot.

Raphael flew to the side and blocked Dzeko's shot from the bottom line.

"Haha, this ball didn't even score!" Director Zhang widened his eyes, unbelievable. Dzeko had completely deceived another defender, Britos, which was equivalent to facing Raphael only.

After watching the slow motion of the replay, Jun Ge said: "Raphael is like a god-supported shot! The save is quite exciting. Of course, Dzeko's shooting power and angle are lacking!"

Wen Sheng's face was full of disappointment. This is awesome. At the critical moment, why are the two forwards always prone to being silent?

How simple is Dzeko's shot, it's as simple as in the training game.

Little do you know that it is because of simplicity that harms people!

There is no need to say what Dzeko wants to score a goal. Of course, he hopes to seize the opportunity of Aguero being injured and prove himself, but the ball is too simple. Dzeko's mentality is too relaxed and he pushed it casually. What is this?!

Raphael said you treat me as nothing!

The angry Raphael made a side pass, and easily blocked the shot with Dzeko's angle and strength without enough strength, ensuring that the goal was not lost.

Fans at the St. Paul Stadium shouted for Raphael's performance, and applause resounded throughout the audience, but Raphael was confused. It would be impossible to save the ball.
Chapter completed!
