Chapter 34 Bad-hearted boy

Just as George Woodgate said, Manchester City's transmission coordination seems to have a rhythm. Each of them seems to be running disorderly, but the transmission of football seems to be rhythmic. If we describe it, it is like the time between each transmission and the force seems to be the same. Every player is passing and transferring football according to certain rules.

Anyone knows that this is impossible.

No team can achieve the same running interval, and it is impossible for each passing force to be the same. Just as a great man said, there will be no two identical leaves in the world. From this, it is inferred that there will be no two football passes to be exactly the same. However, when seeing Manchester City's attack, many people have similar feelings, and this also makes Manchester City's football more pleasing to the eye.

Ferguson sat on the coach's seat and looked at the field solemnly.

He also saw Manchester City's beautiful football. He was sure that this was a new thing brought to Manchester City by the young Chinese. As a head coach, he naturally knew the reason for this feeling, that is, Manchester City's transmission was based on a certain rhythm, and their tactics particularly emphasized rhythm, and the word rhythm is still very high-end in English football.

What is the rhythm?

The most well-known thing is Juventus' style of playing. Juventus is called an "old woman". It is precisely because their football rhythm is very slow, which gives people a feeling of slowness and slowness. This is their rhythm. They use this slow rhythm and combine it with sudden acceleration to attack to find opportunities. This is Juventus's style of playing very well.

It can be said that Juventus' football is full of rhythm.

Let’s talk about another team, Real Madrid, this "Galaxy Battleship" has never heard of anything related to rhythm, but in fact, as a representative team in Spain, Real Madrid’s tactics are the most standard fast penetration, and their rhythm is just one word - fast, fast transmission, fast cooperation. Often, many times, the opponent has not yet reacted, soccer has already appeared in front of the goal.

The corresponding match for Real Madrid is naturally Barcelona. Barcelona's football rhythm is still quite obvious. Perhaps it should be said that the rhythm of cooperation has penetrated into their bones, and their speed is always like that. Even the sudden fast attack gives people a dull feeling. As a result, the opponent has not recovered yet, but the football has been passed into the goal.

This is Barcelona.

Among the above three teams, one is an Italian team and the other two are Spanish teams. The three teams are still very representative in technology, but it can be seen that none of them are an English team. This is because the English team's playing style is relatively rough. In pure technology, English football is difficult to compare with Spanish football that inherits South American football, or Italian football that has been known as the "Small World Cup" for twenty years.

Therefore, the word "rhythm" is still very "high-end" compared to English football.

There are only a few teams that can be used in tactical play. There are only a few teams that need rhythm. Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and half of Manchester United, and perhaps the Derby County of last season, which does not include Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams. Chelsea built a team late and rose in recent years. Their tactical play is relatively simple, and winning is more based on strength and strength. Liverpool is purely rough in its style of play, just like the European media's comments on Liverpool after entering the Champions League final at the end of last season. Almost all of them are "rough style". In the eyes of the public, Liverpool is about to lose the foundation of a giant.

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are few teams with higher technicality, perhaps because their style is offensive. If you want to play well, you will naturally have to drive the game to be faster. Therefore, those who can play the rhythm must include these two teams.

Manchester United can only be considered half.

Manchester United was able to play relatively technical football a few years ago, especially during the 1999 Triple Champions League. At that time, they were full of stars in the team and the game was quite gorgeous. However, with the aging of the "Golden Generation", Manchester United's strength has declined a lot, and it is also difficult for them to play the former gorgeous offensive, so Ferguson can only rely on stars to play in the past two years.

Their current tactics are all built around several stars. Van Nistrue in the frontcourt is the key, Rooney behind the Dutch is also one of the center of gravity. Roy Keane's pullback is for defense, but in some aspects it is purely to create opportunities for the teammates ahead.

This tactic built around stars can naturally play very good results when the stars perform very well. It is precisely because of this that the cooperation between the two wings and the middle lanes in Manchester United is very critical.

As one of the core players in the frontcourt, there is no doubt about the importance of c-Ronaldo in Manchester United tactics.

At this time, C-Ronaldo's condition in the game is still satisfactory. The previous game seems to belong to Manchester City, and most of the attention of the whole game is also focused on Manchester City's offense. But in fact, Manchester United is not much passive. C-Ronaldo plays very flexibly on the right, and once threatens Manchester City's defense, which still satisfyes the old Jazz.

Manchester City's performance was a bit beyond his expectations, but it was only so. It's certain that this would be a wonderful game, but maybe that Chinese would regret provoking Cristiano after the game!?

Ferguson thought

Manchester City's offensive was indeed very gorgeous. This time the pass lasted for a whole minute. The continuous pass and cooperation made Manchester United very passive, and also made many fans cheer on the scene. Many people gave a glory for Manchester City's wonderful performance.

However, overall, Manchester City's offense is not only transmission, except for the players who pass each other, almost all the other players are running and running non-stop. The purpose of this complicated interspersed running position is obviously to play through transmission and cooperation. Each player runs as much as possible, so that the team's formation changes as much as possible while maintaining stability. These are what Manchester City players have been doing. Only in this way can they play through exciting transmission and cooperation.

Conversely, Manchester United players have some headaches.

The opponent kept running, and it was difficult for them to defend. Whether it was staring at people or position, it was difficult to limit the opponent's continuous running style. For example, this time, the football was handed over to Musampa the next second. The latter did not stop the ball at all, and directly passed Lescott back, and Lescott hit the ball with one kick and then stabbed Morris.

Four players were involved in the continuous pass of four feet, and the football returned to the foot of Morris whom he had originally obtained. The whole process was a one-step pass. Manchester United players had no way to restrict it. Maybe they could choose to stare at Morris, but everyone knew that if they did that, football would not be passing back now, which was the most troublesome thing for them.

This is not a single player, but Manchester City organizes all players.

They rely on continuous running, and there will always be many people running out of the room. So when a player wants to pass the ball, he will find that there are many teammates in the right position. All he needs to do is hand the ball accurately to his teammates, which is easy for professional players.

In this continuous transmission process, Manchester City also played a rhythm, and their cooperation seemed to be rhythmic. This greatly increased the viewing of the game, which was also the result of a good grasp of the offensive rhythm. This was not something that everyone in the entire team could do together. That might be possible, but it required extremely exquisite cooperation. In fact, the control of the rhythm still depends on the core players, Morris, Joey Patton, Andy Cole, these three players are the core. If you observe carefully, you will find that no matter how the football is passed, you will not stagger the three players. This is also the key to Manchester City's rhythm. In other words, if you want to limit Manchester City's offense, you must limit the performance of Morris, Joey Patton and Andy Cole.

But the game has just begun, and even Ferguson cannot catch the center point so quickly. After all, he is just a coach and is not omnipotent. Of course, if Ferguson is so easily seen at a glance, the results of Manchester City's one-month training really need to be questioned.

In short, the football played by Manchester City surprised many people.

This also includes Manchester City players themselves.

Many of them were actually very surprised. When they heard that the team had a young coach like Wan Sheng, some players were looking forward to him. But even if they knew in advance, they would not recognize him. Perhaps people were like this. Although the ancients once said, "There must be my teacher when walking in three people" and "the one who is better is the first", if the boss is older than him, it is actually similar. Manchester City players are always not convinced by Wan Sheng.

Even if Wan Sheng came up with this surprising tactic, Manchester City players just followed suit. They would not really recognize anything until the actual tactics were effective.

They practiced hard for this for a summer!

It is not easy to persevere like this, but they still did it. It is not because they have strong perseverance, but because they have no choice. Even if they do not recognize Wansheng, Wansheng is their head coach. They have the ability to determine their destiny, and they can only surrender. But in the end, they have been training for more than a month and have worked hard for so long. Everyone wants to be effective.

But they still didn't expect the effect to be so good!

Originally, they were very prepared for the passive play against Manchester United. In fact, since they returned to the Premier League, they have been like this for two seasons. Whenever they play against Manchester United, they shouted loudly, but they knew in their hearts that the difference between the two teams, especially in this stadium, their game will be quite passive, and it is often considered a success to be able to defend the goal.

But now they control the football under their feet. No matter which direction they pass, they will feel relieved, because they believe they will not lose the ball easily. In this case, they are not suppressed at all. Instead, they feel that the team has suppressed Manchester United a little.

How is this possible?

Even if things happen before their eyes, they can't stand them not believing it, and they are also shocked by this, because they have proved with practice that adapting to a good tactic can actually improve the team's strength so much. Many Manchester United players understand why Derby County won the championship last season.

Derby County is just a new team. At the beginning of the season, media reports did not recognize their strength at all, including the players and the overall team, but by the end of the season, they won the league championship.

This is very incredible.

Many Manchester City players thought about this before and believed that Derby County itself had strength. For example, their Van der Fate and Ribery are already world-class stars, with a net worth of more than 10 million euros. It is certain that they have such a net worth at such a young age, and their future is unlimited.

But now their ideas have changed. Perhaps Derby County won the championship not because of how strong they are, but because they have a capable head coach. The tactics tailored for them have greatly improved their overall strength. So after they adapted to the tactics, they had the strength to compete with the top teams.

The capable coach came to Manchester City and also formulated a set of tactics for Manchester City.

Now they are practicing this tactic.

They started with a try-and-see attitude, but now they have sufficient confidence. Not only the suppression of the situation, they have also discovered a lot of things. The more important one is the opportunity. While they are constantly passing on cooperation, they are also constantly observing, so they find that the team takes the initiative. However, Manchester United, who is at home, is a little unable to play at the offense, and at the same time, they are a little short of defense several times. The opponent is obviously not suitable for their playing style, and has made mistakes several times. If they can be bolder, they may find it.

So they have more confidence in tactics

At this time, Manchester City fought another wave of offensives, and the football reached Morris' feet.

Morris is the core of the midfield, and his partner is Manchester City's famous "bad boy" Joey Barton.

Joey Patton was not successful at the age of 14. He was abandoned by Everton's youth training. Later, he went to Nottingham Forest and was rejected because of his thinness. He finally came to Manchester City. Since he has been at Manchester City since he was 15 and has also joined Manchester City's u-16 and u-18 youth teams, Joey Patton can be regarded as a star produced in Manchester City's youth training. In the eyes of Manchester City fans, he is equivalent to a "Manchester City's child". Such players are naturally very friendly to fans and are easily the club's signature star, such as Steven Gerrard of Liverpool.

Joey Barton also performed quite well, and he was born in the youth training camp, so he was very popular in the team and fans. Perhaps because of this, he had some problems with his discipline.

But this may be a minor problem, and it is also a headache for Joey Patton to be on the court.

Last season, he won seven yellow cards and one red card, which is definitely very high for a midfielder. It can even be said that it is very high among all players at the position, which shows how troublesome Joey Patton is on the court.

To compare, he is like Casano of Italy's Roma team, and he is very "bad" on and off the court. It will give every head coach a headache.

But it must be admitted that such individual players are often very genius.

Now Joey Patton is showing his talent, not how much he has performed, but his "bad mind" has appeared again. When his teammates are all working hard to attack, he is thinking about what Wan Sheng said before the game.

"We want to target C-Royce! His cooperation with Van Nie in the frontcourt has always been a problem for Manchester United, and he doesn't like to retreat and defend, so if you have the chance, you should attack more from the left!"

Joey Patton was very dissatisfied with C-Ronaldo, or rather, he was more famous than himself, especially players younger than him, so he was quite dissatisfied with C-Ronaldo. He remembered Wan Sheng's words deeply and was ready to practice them now.

If you have the chance, it would be great to teach C-Ronaldo a lesson.

Soon he found the position of C-Ronaldo.

c-Ronaldo is slowly retreating, Joey Patton runs parallel to him, and then he secretly makes a gesture to the middle, and Morris immediately passes the ball.

The football pass is a few meters in front of Joey Patton, and of course a few meters in front of C-Ronaldo.

But Joey Patton knew that Morris was going to pass the ball, so he rushed forward first, and left C-Ronaldo behind. Although C-Ronaldo had strong explosive ability, he was slower after all, so he could only watch Joey Patton rushed over and get the ball, without any solution.

Joey Patton got the ball, glanced at C-Ronaldo behind him, and couldn't help but lift the corners of his mouth.

Looking for opportunities from the left?

very good!

It's great to be able to make C-Ronaldo defeated! (To be continued.)
