After Guardiola conducted team training according to this idea, he discovered a loophole that overturned all his previous tactical arrangements and couldn't prevent it!

The double midfielders of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure were beaten into pieces by Zhao Jinge during the team's training exercises! They could not form an effective interception at all!

Because compared to Zhao Jinge, the two of them are at a disadvantage in turning, speed and explosive power.

Once Zhao Jinge's catching and starting speed cannot be restricted, the two of them can only delay Zhao Jinge's progress at the cost of fouls.

After Guardiola asked David Silva to join forces with Zhao Jinge, he completely destroyed this world-class waistline.

Guardiola frowned on the sidelines of the training ground. Zhao Jinge and David Silva can be seen as inferior versions of Messi and Iniesta.

Manchester City's midfielders, which have begun to decline, cannot guard against their own players in internal training matches, and they will definitely not be able to guard against Barcelona's offensive line on the field.

Guardiola fell into thinking again, and he referred to the match between Simeone's Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the Champions League from the 13th to 14th seasons.

Chelsea in 2012, Bayern Munich in 2013, and Inter Milan under Mourinho in 2010.

Since the rise of Meng San, it can be said that what they are most afraid of is the team that is tough and defensive.

Although Guardiola has always believed that passing and controlling is the core idea of ​​his tactics, he has never denied the powerful power of encirclement and counterattack.

All things are mutually reinforcing each other. Perhaps only a meat grinder-like midfield confrontation and a sharp counterattack with quick passes in the frontcourt are the best ways to crack the invincible Barcelona team!

This has been confirmed in previous games, and now I am afraid that the Manchester City defense I have in hand cannot be guarded.

Playing ball control with Barcelona may not be an opponent.

What to do? Guardiola is caught in a contradiction.

Do we need to give up the pass in this game?

Should you change your football philosophy in order to win?

After some simple thinking, Guardiola made the choice he thought was right.

Give up passing control appropriately!

"Fake pass and control, real counterattack."

Guardiola reset the tone for the match between Manchester City and Barcelona.

Based on passing control, De Bruyne, David Silva and Yaya Toure are firmly used as the hub to control the midfield.

Always maintain a sufficient metronome in the midfield, and you can schedule the offensive to attack the opponent!

On the defensive end, Fernandinho will be responsible for the tactics against Messi.

First, do a good job of low-post defense. When Messi breaks through with the ball, the Brazilians focus on frontal defense and do not need to complete one-on-one interceptions far away from the penalty area.

The defensive players behind him can fill in and help defend at any time.

When Messi leaves the Manchester City backcourt, Fernandinho should not leave the back midfield to follow Messi, because he is at a disadvantage in turning, speed and explosiveness, and cannot defend alone without help.

Defend Messi.

The frontcourt carries out a high-pressure press to the end, and once the ball is intercepted, they directly counterattack on the spot. Zhao Jinge and Aguero's ability to grab points is definitely the best in the world.

In the offense, they gave up short-pass penetration and chose more efficient quick counterattacks. Taking advantage of Barcelona's preference for passing and controlling pressure, they passed long passes directly behind the ball and relied on Zhao Jinge's speed for impact.

When defending from several backcourts, you should also pay attention to Barcelona's high-pressure press.

Always observing the surrounding contact points and delivering the ball promptly and decisively was the only way for Barcelona at its peak to face the siege.

Guardiola's Manchester City team, which has excellent foot skills, has already conducted relevant training.

After re-formulating relevant tactics, Guardiola conducted team drills according to new ideas.

Although he still doesn't know whether this can restrain Barcelona at its peak.

But it doesn’t matter, there is still the second round of the group stage to decide the winner.

Now Guardiola is very clear that he has only one goal, and that is to win a game with dignity!

As long as he can beat the current Barcelona team head-on, Guardiola will be confident in leading Manchester City to the top of Europe.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, the fourth round of the Premier League match between Manchester City and Crystal Palace has already arrived.

Guardiola brought a group of substitutes and a small number of main players to visit London.

At Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park Stadium, Crystal Palace, who played at home, showed a tenacious will.

Crystal Palace, which has been hovering in the middle of the Premier League for many years, faced off against Manchester City's entire bench of substitute players. It just so happened that they met a good talent and an opponent, and it was a difficult game to play.

The first half of the game ended quickly, with neither side achieving anything.

During the halftime break, Guardiola gave instructions to Zhao Jinge, De Bruyne and Sterling who were sitting on the bench to warm up in time.

If the situation cannot be opened up in the first twenty minutes of the second half, the three of them will need to play.

Although Guardiola is focused on the upcoming Champions League game, it does not mean that he will give up the game against Crystal Palace. If he does not get points from the underdogs, will he still go to the strong teams to grab points?<

/p>

In the fiercely competitive Premier League, every point is so precious. Guardiola will choose to stay but will never give up.

The game restarted in the second half, and the scene was no different from the first half. The difference between the level of Manchester City's substitute players and the main players was really huge.

Although the performance on the offensive end is slightly stronger than that of Crystal Palace, it is just that the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and the ball cannot be scored.

As time passed by, Guardiola once again asked Zhao Jinge and the three of them to warm up, without waiting until the 20 minutes of the second half were over.

In the 60th minute of the game, Guardiola directly replaced three players.

When Alan Pardew, the head coach of the opposite Crystal Palace, saw Guardiola's substitution, his heart suddenly went cold.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

I originally thought that Guardiola was preparing for the Champions League. Crystal Palace could score a point against Manchester City, who were all substitutes, and draw with Manchester City who were at their peak. It was so wonderful!

But now Guardiola's substitution has directly shattered Alan Pardew's beautiful vision.

Didn't we agree that the rookies would peck each other? Why did you switch to the main force at the 60th minute? If you have the ability, you can switch after 90 minutes!

He really didn’t give him any chance, right? After being overjoyed and sad, Alan Pardew instantly withered.

The Crystal Palace fans in Selhurst Park couldn't help but booed, "Children are fighting, what are you doing by sending adults here!"

Guardiola, you really don’t have martial ethics!

Guardiola doesn't care what everyone in the Crystal Palace thinks. Manchester City immediately changed after replacing three main players on the field.

De Bruyne serves as the midfield metronome, responsible for sorting out the entire Manchester City midfield attack, with Manchester City's substitute midfielder Fernando protecting him.

Gundogan, who was originally responsible for the offensive organization alone, immediately moved forward after De Bruyne came on the field, using his characteristics of supporting the frontcourt and inserting behind to threaten the shot.

The new offensive line composed of Zhao Jinge, Sterling, and Manchester City's substitute forward Bony, under the control of De Bruyne, took turns attacking the Crystal Palace defense.

Although the Crystal Palace players tried their best to press and defend, their defense was still crumbling under the impact.

In the next ten minutes or so, Crystal Palace's defense faced huge dangers several times, but fortunately it was Sterling and Bony who completed the final blow.

The two kicked one high and the other missed, wasting two excellent opportunities.

The Crystal Palace fans in the stadium were also frightened, fearing that their home team's goal would be lost next time.

"The effect of Guardiola's substitution can be said to be immediate. Manchester City's entire midfield and frontcourt became smoother instantly after De Bruyne came on.

Now Gundogan is still unable to assume the important role of the core of the organization. Guardiola has pushed him back and is mainly responsible for delivering the ball and connecting the front, middle and backfields. Unfortunately, he still cannot take on the role of himself like De Bruyne!"

In the Sky Sports live broadcast room, Andy Gray began to comment on Manchester City's organizational changes after Guardiola's substitution.

Sitting next to him was Carragher. After listening to Andy Gray's comments, Carragher also expressed his own opinions:

"Although they are both new players who have just arrived this summer, there is still a big gap between Gundogan and De Bruyne in terms of the width of his field of vision, his awareness and accuracy of passing, and his grasp and scheduling of offensive organization.

Of course, these can be compensated for, and his forward penetration and long-range shots are quite good, somewhat similar to my teammate Gerrard in Liverpool.

Gundogan is very stable in organizing and controlling the ball in the midfield. When Manchester City needs to control the rhythm in the first half, it is Gundogan who takes the ball in the midfield and kicks it.

If he can continue to improve, he will be a good complement to Manchester City's midfield by supporting De Bruyne."

Just when the two commentators were commenting on Gundogan, Manchester City's offense once again created a huge threat!

In the 80th minute of the game, after Zhao Jinge received the ball from the center, he immediately turned back and ran to the right wing.

Gundogan dribbled forward, restrained the Crystal Palace defender and then passed the ball to the right. De Bruyne stepped forward to receive the ball.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball in front, he suddenly increased his speed and cut inside. Facing the oncoming Crystal Palace defender, he directly squeezed past him in the confrontation.

Zhao Jinge, who continued to dribble forward, was attacked by the opponent's center back and full back.

Facing a two-person attack, Zhao Jinge turned to pull the ball in the middle and did a Marseille spin. He kicked the ball back and found Gundogan who had inserted it in the middle.

"Zhao Jinge, with his unparalleled explosive power, continued to move forward after crushing the Crystal Palace midfielder!"

"Faced with the siege, Zhao Jinge used a Marseille spin move to protect the ball and skillfully passed the ball back to Gundogan!"

After the ball was released, Zhao Jinge immediately moved forward and went straight to the Crystal Palace penalty area.

Gundogan rushed to grab the opponent's midfielder and sent the ball into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball, he faked a shot and dunked the ball across the field, then shot the ball into the goal!

"Goal!!! It's Zhao Jinge again, and it's him who broke the deadlock for Manchester City, scoring in the fifth consecutive Premier League game!
