Chapter 37 Hearts and Minds
The shouts of Manchester City fans reached the camera receiver, which moved many live game shots to the sidelines. I saw that the young Chinese, as Manchester City coach, stood seriously on the sidelines after celebrating with everyone.
The suit, tie and leather shoes look a bit old-fashioned, but the movement of holding his arms breaks this old-fashioned. His temperament is a bit contradictory, just like many people commented on him, "This is a young man full of contradictions." The contradiction is undoubtedly revealed in him. Those who just knew his name also felt contradictory when they noticed him.
But this contradiction is just very attractive.
After the game started again, the game on the court did not attract much attention, but Wan Sheng became the protagonist.
However, Wan Sheng was not affected by the shouts of fans in the audience. Perhaps it was just a sound in his ears. He just looked at the field seriously and could not see the excitement just now, as if he was not the one who vented just now.
This is exactly his attitude towards the game.
Because this is a Manchester derby, it is a game that must be won, so he needs to be very serious. The team completed the goal just now, which is naturally the time for celebration. However, after the celebration, you must regain your attitude, watch the game seriously, and try to find some problems so that you can have a stronger control over the game. Only in this way can you increase your chances of winning.
He has no reason to relax, and even if he leads now, they cannot guarantee victory 100%.
Manchester City players on the court don't have that much thought, and they are still surprised, mainly because they feel it's easy to lead Manchester United, just like their opponent is not Manchester United, but an ordinary team.
But now it is indeed Manchester Derbyshire!
Since this is the case, they can still easily lead, so they have to find the reason from themselves. The only reason they can find is the new teammates coming to the summer transfer, new tactics and the head coach's advice on the game.
This is all their changes!
Needless to say, new teammates are excellent players, both Morris and Andy Cole are not as good as they can improve the overall ability of a team. So new tactics are the key, and the new tactics bring them a smoother offensive and also allow them to suppress Manchester United in the game. It is amazing to be able to do this.
Another thing is the coach’s advice before the game – be careful to find a breakthrough from the left!
Left-Ronaldo's all the way!
If there was no new coach Wan Sheng, they would have played ten thousand times with Manchester United. I guess they would have never expected that Ronaldo would have made a breakthrough this way. They would only think that Ronaldo's journey is very difficult and they should defend seriously. To limit Ronaldo's performance, but now they actually regard this as a breakthrough to find opportunities to score goals.
This is really incredible!
They unconsciously turned their attention to the head coach Wan Sheng on the sidelines. This young new coach is really capable. No wonder many media said "expected" after he came to Manchester City.
At the same time, they also felt a sense of confidence and fighting spirit!
Since we can lead Manchester United now, we can beat Manchester United, and all we have to do is to play hard as the coach said. Perhaps after the game we can celebrate the first Manchester derby victory in two years!
At this time, Ferguson did not expect a better way to deal with it.
Manchester City's new tactics have been developed. He also knows a lot about this tactical routine of doing everything he can. It is precisely because of his understanding that he knows how difficult it is to play such a tactic. It will definitely be extremely difficult to find a cracking method temporarily.
Manchester United is suppressed on the field now.
This may be related to Manchester United shrinking the defense line under his command, but the real reason is that Manchester City has a strong ball control ability. They keep passing and receiving balls and playing closely, and the continuous running also brings space and opportunities. As long as the defense gap is larger in the backcourt, they can find the pass space, which keeps the team's defense line in danger.
When facing this kind of attack, the easiest thing is to shrink the defense line.
As long as you shrink the defense line, make the distance between players and players smaller, compress the opponent's pass and cooperate space, and the opponent's gorgeous cooperation will naturally fail to defeat the tactics, because no player will make 100% mistakes when passing the ball. If there is a small amount of mistakes, it will naturally be an opportunity to defend the side.
But the problem is that this is really a theory!
Manchester United is not ready to play defensive counterattacks. Especially with such a passive defensive counterattack, so now that after shrinking the defense line, Manchester United players are not performing well. They are like headless flies on the court and don’t know what to do. The formation on the court is not suitable for defensive counterattacks. In short, various problems have led to Manchester United being passive and passive again. As a result, the game is completely under the control of Manchester City.
Manchester United players also thought about resisting. After all, they are Manchester United. How could they play so passively in the game? But with the transmission and cooperation of Manchester City outside, their resistance will not play any other role except for increasing the chance of Manchester City breaking through the defense.
In the summer preparations, Wansheng emphasized the most important thing about transmission.
This is the foundation he wants to lay for the team.
When coaching at Derby County, due to the poor overall strength at the beginning, the technicality could not be achieved at all. Last season, the team's style was a bit fixed, and it was very difficult to change it. Therefore, the "os" system of Derby County played was not very technical. After coaching Manchester City, he had the opportunity to rebuild the team, so he naturally had to emphasize more technology, so passing is the foundation in the foundation.
Of course, passing is the foundation of the foundation. This ability started to be trained when the players were young. They would maintain passing training until they retired. However, in training and games, many teams actually did not pay attention to passing to a certain extent. Wan Sheng wanted to take passing as the core point of the team's tactics, so that after the players of the team were in the game, no matter where they were, the first thing they thought of was to cooperate with their teammates. At the same time, they would also have corresponding abilities - the personal training of the football training master system, and everyone must receive training to improve passing ability. In this way, all players' passing ability will be improved bit by bit, plus the bonus of passing ability in coaching skills. At this Manchester City team on the field, the average passing ability of players is no worse than that of Barcelona, which swept across Europe in the future. What they lack is experience and skillful cooperation.
Faced with such continuous transmission and cooperation, Manchester United players really don’t have many ways. As the head coach, Ferguson also scratched his head. The only thing he could do was to constantly emphasize defense.
Manchester United became even more passive
The situation on the field now falls into the eyes of fans and media, which is naturally incredible. At the same time, they have become very optimistic about Manchester City, but in fact, Wan Sheng did not underestimate Manchester United. He knew that if Manchester United reacted, the game would likely be reversed and it would become very difficult to play in the near future.
Manchester United is a top-notch team, and no team dares to say that they will definitely defeat Manchester United.
Derby County was not good last season, but Manchester City is naturally even worse now. After only one short season of training, Wan Sheng is very clear. The current gap between this team of Manchester City and his Derby County last season is the gap in tactical adaptability, and it is also the difference in player cooperation and overall tacit understanding. In terms of players' personal abilities, Manchester City cannot find a top star like Van der Fate who can rely on individuals to change the game.
Of course, Manchester City also has advantages at present, such as it is worth looking forward to in the midfield.
When in Derby County, Wan Sheng had always had a headache for the midfield because there was no player in the whole team who could replace Morris, and there was no player in the midfield who was most suitable for him to cooperate with. The only one who could find was Leon Ottoman, but the latter was just a defensive midfielder. It was difficult for the brain to adapt to complex tactics, let alone form a perfect partner with Morris.
David Silva is different now.
This is a very promising young player. If he had no Wan Sheng, he would have grown into the core of Spain in the future. Now that he has himself, he will only grow faster. As long as he grows up, he will definitely be able to form the best partner with Morris.
Midfield partners are the core point of the team. Their tacit understanding will have no doubt on the performance of the team, so this expectation is still very valuable.
In addition, Anelka and Darren Bent can all be expected on the front line. Although Andy Cole and Fowler are older, Wan Sheng believes that under his training, as long as they ensure their condition, they will be able to show their strong abilities. This front line is also stronger than the front line composed of Bolton Reit and Van der Fate. Although there are no stars compared to Van der Fate, Anelka's ability is not much worse than Van der Fate.
You can understand it clearly in the football training master system.
Anelka's comprehensive ability is 3 points less than Van der Fate, which is mainly due to dribbling, shooting and speed, but his body is stronger and his explosive power is stronger. If both of them are in the Premier League, in fact, Anelka will adapt better, because the high-intensity game in the Premier League is obviously more advantageous.
Of course, most of the above are expectations, and now Manchester City is definitely not as good as Derby County's last season.
Although Derby County had an advantage in the match against Manchester United last season, in fact, the two matches were very motivated, one of which was just a draw, and winning was not easy. There was a bit of surprise in the middle of the game, and it was not surprising to lose. So in fact, the current Manchester City still has a gap in strength with Manchester United, and it was only because of the surprising tactics that suppressed Manchester United.
Manchester United will definitely need to make adjustments during the halftime break, so this suppression is difficult to last for the whole game.
So Wan Sheng takes the game seriously. He hopes that the team will score a goal before Manchester United can react, and have the advantage of two goals, so there is always some guarantee.
As for the method of scoring, we still have to look for opportunities from the left, that is, Ronaldo.
In fact, Manchester City players on the court also know how to play. Anelka's goal just now gave them a reminder, and they also noticed a problem - Manchester United's counterattack was mostly initiated by Ronaldo!-
Ronaldo is undoubtedly the core player of Manchester United's counterattack. He is very fast, explosive, and extremely excellent in his skills. Such a player is the opponent's focus on defense and will also gain the trust of his teammates. Many times, Manchester United cannot do without the counterattack - Ronaldo. On the other hand, Scholes, Robbie Keane, the middle lane of Manchester United, including the young player Fletcher on the other side, and even the young forward Rooney is constantly participating in the defense.
Ronaldo became the core player to launch a counterattack, and he spent more time in the frontcourt, so naturally his journey became empty.
So Manchester City also began to focus on this road.
Soon the court seemed to have become a battle for Ronaldo's initiative, and various cooperation and conflicts were frequently staged along the way, and the two head coaches' eyes also focused on.
Ferguson didn't care much.
He knew what Wan Sheng said before the game and saw Manchester City's goal just now, which was indeed related to Ronaldo's failure to retreat in time to participate in the defense, but so what?
This does not mean that Ronaldo is a weak point all the way, he always believes in Ronaldo's ability.
Wan Sheng didn't know what Ferguson was thinking, but he knew that Ronaldo was likely to have a good chance along the way, mainly because Manchester United players must be unsatisfied with the current situation.
They want to attack rather than be suppressed, which will make them feel very frustrated.
They are Manchester United!
How could he be so passive in the derby battle?
Because of this idea, they will definitely find an opportunity to launch a counterattack. As long as they launch a counterattack, it will be difficult to leave - Ronaldo, so Ronaldo is likely to have a good chance along the way. This is a bet - Bo, because no one knows whether Manchester United will use the counterattack to tie the score, but the game itself is a bet - Bo, which is just the probability. Now the team's suppression of Manchester United, as well as the advantages in fighting spirit, performance, and coordination have given the team a greater chance of winning, so this bet can still be bet.
If others knew Wan Sheng’s thoughts, it would definitely feel terrible that this young Chinese actually counted people’s hearts?
But Wansheng is like this.
Especially with the increase in coaching experience, he will always consider various issues without realizing it. Every game he deals with seriously will analyze his opponents from the inside out. It is precisely this that increases the winning rate of the team he coaches.
Perhaps, he should be a successful head coach by nature! (To be continued.)
