472. Come on
Manchester City was already a little cold at night in mid-September, but the Etihad Stadium was in full swing. To be honest, Manchester City had a bit of a bad start to this season, and criticism from all sides was heard. The fans were a little anxious, but they had maintained an optimistic attitude towards the team. Head coach Wensheng still had a stable position in the minds of the fans.
Guedti had already arrived at the player passage amid the noise outside. He felt a little nervous, so he planned to leave the locker room earlier and stand here to experience the atmosphere.
"Daniel, come on!" Wen Sheng was the one who went out earlier than him. Guideti vaguely heard the fans cheering for Wen Sheng near the entrance of the passage.
Guedti saw the boss turn around and smiled and waved to the fans in the stands, looking relaxed.
He couldn't help but think of his boss's impressive record. In his past history, the boss has never been eliminated in the Champions League group stage. He led Manchester City for two years and entered the finals in both years, almost leading Manchester City to complete two consecutive Champions League dominances.
The boss's miracle was hovering in his mind, and Guideti's heartbeat couldn't help but slow down a lot.
"John, come on!" Someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, and it was Captain Milner who came out.
"Come on!" Guedti and Milner hugged each other.
"Relax, boy! Believe in yourself!" Perhaps seeing Guedti was a little nervous, Milner said this.
Guideti sighed and nodded heavily on his head.
Soon the players on both sides appeared, surrounded by the shouts of the fans, stepped on Etihad's soft turf, Guideti warned himself, "Don't think too much, concentrate on the game! Now it's time for me to stand up!"
He deliberately looked at the position where his parents were on the stands, as if he had a good relationship with him. His father raised a thumbs up, and Guideti couldn't help but laugh.
When he first joined Manchester City, his parents had been here, but later on loan, his parents were not with him, so he began to be independent. Last season, because of a bad muscle, he had to return to Sweden and recuperate for a whole year. He returned to Manchester City again last season, and his parents came to take care of him again.
He once again remembered his boss Wensheng. The boss took good care of him. It can be said that he was meticulous. From the conversation between his parents, he could also feel the boss Wensheng's care for him from the side.
"Your opportunities will always come, be patient!" Guedti remembers this sentence very clearly.
"Today is the moment to pay for the boss!" Guedti made a decision in his heart.
......
The game started quickly, the opponent was weak, and Manchester City quickly took the initiative after the start. Borisov wisely hurried in his half-court defense. For them, if they could get a point in this game, it would be a major victory!
Manchester City basically has the right to control the ball. Guedti's most active position is in the opponent's penalty area. He is not too tall and is actually strong, has a fast speed, and has a strong impact. However, he is trapped in a positional battle, Guedti has too many confrontations with the opponent's central defender.
"You have to come out! John! Run, run, let them move!"
"Man, you have to be braver!"
De Bruyne criticized Guideti for not being flexible enough in running, his position was too dead, and the ball was difficult to pass, and the opponent's defense was fierce and his body was tight.
Wensheng's tactical requirement before the game was that Guideti could stand in the penalty area first and try the opponent's defensive quality. Therefore, Guideti did not run much, and De Bruyne's requirements for him were different from head coach Wensheng, which made Guideti a little embarrassed.
Hills made a cross, and Guedti once again failed in the physical confrontation. The opponent's central defender made a small move from behind and he fell into the penalty area. However, it was impossible to get a penalty, and there was no penalty.
Guedti knelt on the ground and complained, De Bruyne ran over and pulled him up with both hands, "Man, listen to me, you have to run, you didn't get a good idea in the penalty area! There is no need to bother them, we have to cooperate!"
De Bruyne is also very tired. He is now a role of both a father and a mother. On the front line, Guedti said that he is strong and has good impact, but he is a pillar-like center. The dream is still the same. The opponent restricts him crazy. The old problems of Cuadrado and Milner on both wings are still the same. Cuadrado is still stubborn and thumping. Milner does too much crossing, which does not conform to De Bruyne's idea.
The boss does have some requirements for offense, but De Bruyne also knows that the boss Wensheng is still relatively open to offensive freedom this season. De Bruyne believes that the current crossing mode between the two wings cannot achieve good results at all, so the way of playing should be changed next.
The team needs to make a fuss from the middle, the wingers are introverted, the two-wing full-backs are in charge of the wing lane passages, and the middle can try this way through short passes and penetration to break through the opponent's defense line.
This is the reason why De Bruyne asked Guideti to move, recruiting and increasing the middle lane personnel and changing the situation where there is no one in the middle lane.
As for Casemiro and Fernandinho behind him, De Bruyne just needs their oppression instead of rushing directly to the opponent's penalty area to fight. The defense should be careful, and the opponent himself is just the idea of a defensive counterattack.
Guedti finally accepted De Bruyne's arrangement and started running non-stop. He had gradually forgotten the tension.
Manchester City still suppresses the opponent hard. Compared with the cross-playing style just now, the winger draws inward and the full-back sprinting style has put a lot of pressure on Borisov.
It was another De Bruyne holding the ball. The opponent's three players surrounded him. De Bruyne and Milner made a typical wall-to-wall-like cooperation. Walker inserted at high speed. De Bruyne gently pushed the ball. Walker led the ball into the near bottom line of the penalty area. Borisov's defender reacted quickly, but Walker finally swept the ball to the wall.
There was a dense crowd in the penalty area. After Guedti helped De Bruyne cover the cover on the outside, he still faced great pressure. At first, he was looking forward to Walker's passing in the inverted triangle. He deliberately paused in the middle of the small penalty area. The opponent's central defender did not react well and did not stick to him, but Walker did not pass in the inverted triangle.
He may have realized that the opponent's defense in the middle is still tight, all of which are legs, so he simply swept the ball in front of the goal, and maybe the opponent's defender can score a goal with a touch.
Walker's idea was very good, and it almost came true. When Borisov's defender retreated, he did not block Walker's extremely fast pass to the goal, but their goalkeeper Chenick subconsciously transferred the ball out.
Guedti was a little disappointed with Walker's cross, but soon he found an opportunity. The opponent's goalkeeper subconsciously trolled the ball, which could only be regarded as a clearance, and the ball fell between him and Borisov's central defender Philippanko. Philippanko tried to clear the ball but he kicked it in the air. Guiedti shot a moment later than him and hit the football.
The right heel of Felipanko's calves collided with the leg guards, which felt a little painful, but Guedti's eyes were always staring at the football.
The ball hit the bull's-eye, and the moment he hit the net, Guedti felt that he was about to fly.
