While Wan Sheng and Hasson were talking about it, the warm-up match was going on.

In this warm-up match, Wan Sheng mainly aims to test the team's new formation. After about ten days of training, the team has just adapted to the new formation and can barely play. The basis of tactics has not changed, and many players do not really need to adapt to anything. The key revelation lies in the cooperation of frontcourt players.

The most critical change lies in the midfield.

After Morrisla, he became the true core of offense and defense. The diamond-shaped midfield position became a triangle position in the middle. The two sides added in will increase the tightness of the midfield. This change is beneficial to both offense and defense, but adjustments also mean changes. After Morrisla, the front-field attack firepower will rely on the performance of other avant-gardes.

David Silva, Joey Patton, and Ivan Kruy, Ozil and others all need to adapt to the avant-garde position.

David Silva is the best performer among them. With the adaptation and improvement of last season, David Silva is enough to be the main position of the team. His cooperation with Morris is very tacit, and his outstanding personal skills make him very outstanding in both passing and receiving and playing.

Joey Patton is a little worse than that.

Joey Patton's personal ability is very obvious, that is, his technical breakthrough ability and passing and receiving ability are not outstanding. There is a big gap between his overall personal skills and David Silva. Fortunately, Wan Sheng told him to cooperate more with his teammates, so there was no big problem on the court, and his performance was not very good, but it could be considered as a mediocre person.

Ivan Crew also adapted to the middle of the midfield. He cooperated well with his teammates in offense, slightly better than Joey Patton, especially with Morris. The two teammates who have been together for many years are very tacit. He is even better than David Silva in this regard. The only problem is that his personal ability has no special highlights, and his performance is similar to Joey Patton, and his defense is not as good as Joey Patton.

Ozil... is still just a young player, and his comprehensive ability evaluation is only 83 now, which is the lowest among the few players in the middle of Manchester City's frontcourt. In addition, there is no tacit understanding with his teammates. He has not even fully adapted to his tactics, so he has no need to say much about his performance.

It seems that he still needs a lot of time to adapt to the team.

Wan Sheng gave Ozil 15 minutes of playing time, which is considered to be a very important thing to him. He hoped that Ozil could grow up as soon as possible, and did not require him to quickly reach the level of a top star, at least he could keep up with the team's pace and become a qualified frontcourt player.

Even though the midfielders did not perform as expected, Manchester City still completely suppressed Nottingham Forest with absolute strength, in the face of Manchester City's strong strength. Nottingham Forest has no power to resist at all. Although they tried their best to perform in front of fans, the gap in strength has become an insurmountable gap.

In the end, Manchester City easily won the game 4:0.

Of course, the score is not important, and the process is not much to say. Nottingham Forest is too weak, and the gap with Manchester City is huge. Wan Sheng cares about the effect after the formation changes. He found that Joey Patton and Ivan Crew and David Silva were not as good as they imagined, or this is also a problem of cooperation and requires more time to adapt. If there is another game, it is still necessary to try the effect of others to find out the problem.

This warm-up match made it possible to discover this problem.

Wan Sheng is quite satisfied with the effect of the warm-up match.

After the warm-up match, Wan Sheng and Hasson exchanged questions about the teams and recommended several players who were still "passed" in Manchester City youth teams. How to decide afterwards depends on Hasson himself.

He then led the team back to Manchester.

At this time, Chinese media also began to report on the match between Manchester City and the Chinese team. The media's reports seemed to have helped Xinlang Sports. Because CCTV seemed to have no interest in a warm-up match, Xinlang became the only media to get the broadcasting rights. It is conceivable that Xinlang, who is committed to promoting online live broadcasts in China, would put in a lot of energy to promote the game.

In the publicity, Wan Sheng, Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei became the protagonists, and as for the Chinese team players, there are not many introductions.

This is a strange phenomenon.

Many Chinese fans can memorize Manchester City's lineup, but if you want to ask him who the main goalkeeper of the national team is, his answer is probably... I don't know, and then asked back, "Isn't it Wang Xiaolei?". Such an answer really makes people laugh, but this is a common phenomenon in China.

In the final analysis, the fans are too disappointed with the national team's performance.

...

A voice was made in the media before the game, that is, that is, all the players of the Chinese team will do their best to perform. If they can be seen by Wan Sheng, China will have another player who will enter the Premier League.

This is what many people are looking forward to.

In terms of the current lineup of the Chinese team, domestic players account for the majority, but anyone knows that the five major leagues, even as long as they are overseas players, will have higher strength. And seeing that most players are in the European low-level European leagues, Costa Rica can often enter the World Cup finals. This is a clear proof that players from China are still inferior in terms of tactical awareness.

Therefore, the media and fans hope that more Chinese players can go abroad and move to higher-level professional arenas, so that there will be more good Chinese players.

When Wan Sheng heard this sound, he could only shake his head silently.

This has nothing to do with patriotism or not, it is entirely because of the reality.

First of all, Manchester City does not have so many non-EU player quotas, and Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei occupy two non-EU player quotas. If one more is introduced, he will not be able to guarantee the player's playing time at all, so the idea of ​​introducing a large number of Chinese players is simply unrealistic.

He also wants to contribute to the development of Chinese football, but he only does it within his ability and will not be desperate for it.

In addition, the current international players of the Chinese team basically have no room for training.

These national players cannot be too young, and their skills have often been set and they do not have much potential to improve.

So it was just an unrealistic fantasy to make him look at a player and then try his best to introduce him to Manchester City.

The exchange match is the exchange match. For Wan Sheng, this is a warm-up match without any other things. However, before the game, Wan Sheng said to the media, "The Chinese team is an opponent that needs to be taken seriously, and we will do our best!"

Of course, this is just a statement to give face to the Chinese team.

In fact, Wan Sheng treats this as an ordinary warm-up match to test the team's new formation to find some problems. Then solve some problems, and at the same time let the players adapt to the game and find the feeling of the game. As for the full-time and inadequate... Manchester City does not need to do that at all, otherwise if they win too many goals, the Chinese team will definitely not look good in terms of face.

This is the best of both worlds.

Wan Sheng just wanted to play a warm-up match, not to go to the bloody battle. The two teams did not have that much hatred, and the Chinese team was the purpose of training in Europe. It was just to fight against strong teams. Even if Manchester City was not serious, it was definitely a strong team.

In such an atmosphere, the game between the two teams began.

No surprise. Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei appeared in Manchester City's lineup, which made the Chinese media very satisfied. They hoped to see the two play for Manchester City.

Manchester City launched an offensive at the beginning of the game.

At the same time, Wan Sheng also stood with the Chinese coach Zhu Guanghu. This is not a formal game, and there is no need to stand separately. Both of them stand on the sidelines. They have some communication with the game and coaching.

Wan Sheng still has some understanding of Zhu Guanghu. As far as he knows, this old coach, who is over 50 years old, has been on the decline in coaching after 2000. The Chinese team he led is really a mess. It is worth mentioning that when the shady scenes of the Football Association were revealed in 2012, Zhu Guanghu was also implicated for bribing the Football Association chairman 50,000 yuan, and his coaching career ended at that time.

But no matter how poor Zhu Guanghu's performance in leading the team is, he is also a qualified coach in China and has a lot of experience. His poor performance in coaching the Chinese team is not only his personal reasons, but also many other reasons. In other words, he must have many advantages and some areas worth learning from.

For example, now, Zhu Guanghu's attitude towards Wan Sheng is very modest.

In terms of coaching, Wan Sheng's performance is more outstanding. He is the head coach of a Premier League club and has also led the team to win two league championships. However, in terms of qualifications, he is still a newcomer in the coaching industry and is not as good as an experienced coach like Zhu Guanghu.

However, Zhu Guanghu modestly asked Wan Sheng about his coaching experience.

Wan Sheng was a little flattered, so he greeted him with a smile. The two discussed the preparations. This was also a problem facing Zhu Guanghu, because the Chinese team was about to face the group stage of the Asian Cup qualifiers with Singapore, and this game was crucial.

Zhu Guanghu was talking about tactics and praised Manchester City's playing style. Wan Sheng talked about the most important factor in victory. "Fighting spirit, playing on the spot is more important. No matter what the tactics are, players must play. No matter how good the tactics are, the team has no fighting spirit, and it is useless."

Zhu Guanghu nodded in approval.

Due to very complex internal problems, the Chinese team often lacks fighting spirit.

But Zhu Guanghu is interested in tactics, because he knows that the young people in front of him are very successful in this regard. For example, Manchester City's tactics on the field are quite gorgeous. The continuous connection of short pass cooperation makes people dazzled. It is not easy for the Chinese team to organize defense, so they can only continuously compress the formation to squeeze the space.

So Zhu Guanghu asked about the tactics suitable for the Chinese team. Wan Sheng observed for a long time and also watched the Chinese team's two attacks, and then said in a targeted manner, "I think simple tactics are more suitable for the Chinese team."

"Simple tactics?"

"Yes, the Chinese team's playing style is very good now. The direct long and short pass cooperation does not require the players to have too good awareness or good personal skills." Wan Shengdao, "The complex tactics are indeed obvious, but they also require the players' strength to keep up. For example, in the English league, the low-level team's playing style is also very simple and direct, and many are not as good as the Chinese team. Even if we copy our tactics to the Chinese team, it will be difficult to adapt."

"Our core is Morris." Wan Sheng pointed to Morris' position. "He is a very outstanding player. Whether it is personal ability, consciousness, and overall view, he is the world's top. Without Morris, my team would have a much weaker power."

This is the truth.

Morris's core position in Manchester City cannot be questioned. At least he is the most critical member of the current 4141 formation. No player can replace him. Of course, without Morris, Wan Sheng can also adjust the formation, but that is another statement.

"The Chinese team is not weak and does not need to pursue too complicated tactics. I think the current tactics are very suitable. As long as the team has fighting spirit, everyone will play in a state, and they will still compete with teams such as South Korea and Japan."

This is also Wansheng’s thoughts.

The Chinese team always loses to South Korea and Japan. Is there a real gap in strength? Perhaps there will be some in the future, but now the Chinese team in 2006 is still very strong. In the team, Li Weifeng, Dong Fangzhuo, Li Tie, Shao Jiayi, and Sun Jihai and others are all powerful old players. As long as they show their strength, they cannot be said to be stronger than Japan and South Korea, but they are not much worse.

The key issue is the player's mentality, the performance on the spot, the forwards always play in the empty goal... No tactics are meaningless.

Manchester City has scored two goals in the conversation.

The first goal was scored by Anelka. He received a pass from Joey Patton, forcibly broke through defender Zhang Yaokun and shot the ball into the net.

The second one was scored by Ivan Kru. He took advantage of a free kick opportunity to directly shoot a arc shot from 25 meters. Facing this shot, goalkeeper Li Leilei failed to make accurate judgments, and the football was hooked into the goal against the right post.

2:0.

Manchester City fans at the scene were cheering for goals.

This game is just a warm-up match, but due to the results of winning the Premier League last season, Manchester City fans have greatly increased their confidence in the team. In addition, Manchester City's gorgeous style of play has also attracted many fans, so nearly 40,000 fans watched the warm-up match, which makes the warm-up match more lively than ordinary official matches.

The cheers at the scene were heard constantly, and Ozil and Boateng were even a little nervous as soon as they entered the team.

Wan Sheng also left these two new players when talking to Zhu Guanghu. Then he considered it and let Boateng replace Reto Ziegler, and then he replaced Anelka and David Silva, Darren Bent and Borgkamp got the opportunity.

This is the first appearance of the Netherlands' "Ice Prince" at Manchester Stadium and the first time he plays for Manchester City!

The moment Borgkamp walked onto the court, he immediately became the focus of everyone.

All the fans of the audience gave him applause!

All the players on the court looked at Borgkamp, ​​including Chinese players. In Manchester City, Anelka was the most famous player before, but now he has become Borgkamp. Many Chinese players grew up listening to Borgkamp's name. Now that idols are right in front of them, they cannot ignore them.

Wan Sheng and Zhu Guanghu also applauded and sent blessings to Borgkamp's appearance.

This is the influence of Borgkamp, ​​a generation of superstars. (To be continued.)
