Chapter 195 The price of carelessness
c_t;
The public opinion of the English media is completely inclined to Manchester City, and they can't wait to see the scene where Manchester City beat Real Madrid completely.
"The game has just started for two minutes, and I'm still drinking... Sorry, I'm so surprised, so surprised! The ball entered, it was Anelka. He received a pass from Morris and directly sent the ball into the goal of Casillas's handle! In just two minutes, the French scorer helped Manchester City take the lead!"
"Minute 2! Minute 2! God—"
"Even if the English media had anticipated Manchester City before the game, I couldn't imagine that Manchester City could score in the second minute, which was simply amazing..."
“…”
Amid Berbart's shouting, everyone came to their senses and looked at the scoreboard again. It had become 1:0 reads; [Mianhuatang.cc is updated quickly, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, I like this kind of website the most, so I must review it] Just now, Anelka received a pass from Morris and directly helped the team rewrite the score.
......
On the field, Real Madrid players were a little confused.
They couldn't help but think of the last league match against Getafe, which made people full of desperate memories and very bad memories. Now all this seems to be re-starting. They came to Manchester with the determination to win. As a result, in just two minutes, Manchester City took the lead.
How could this happen?
It was Raul who reminded everyone. "The competition has just begun. We have a lot of time. It was just an accident just now, and we will catch it back!" He said with his fists clenched.
Raul's words infected Real Madrid's teammates.
The great Real Madrid cannot be knocked down with just one goal, just as Raul said. The game has just begun, and the goal just now is really surprising. I can only say that it has not entered the state at the beginning, and the defense is a bit loose. In addition, Anelka's shot was too sudden, which completely caught Casillas off guard. This kind of goal is completely a sudden performance by the player and is impossible to replicate.
At the same time, Anelka, who had just scored a goal, was also celebrating with his teammates.
Anelka felt quite excited. This was his second goal in the UEFA Champions League. In the last game against Bayern Munich, he also scored a goal, but no football player would think that there were too many goals, especially goals against teams like Real Madrid, which seemed particularly precious. So after the goal, Anelka was quite excited. He ran from the penalty area to the corner flagpole, and then fell to the ground in the direction of the Manchester City fans' stands. He raised his arms and kept shouting. The sound of the stadium was too noisy and it was difficult to know what he was saying, but his excitement was something everyone could see.
Afterwards, Manchester City teammates rushed over to surround Anelka in the middle and celebrated the goal together.
Everyone's expression was quite relaxed.
Before the game, many media and fans in England were looking forward to Manchester City defeating Real Madrid. In this public opinion atmosphere, even they felt that Real Madrid was not difficult to play. Although Wan Sheng emphasized the need to take the game seriously and they did the same, but they scored goals at the beginning, which still made them feel very relaxed.
Many players are thinking-
"So what about Real Madrid? Isn't it not favored?"
"We are much better than Real Madrid!"
"This game will definitely be easy to win. We scored in just two minutes!"
“…”
It's not surprising that there are similar ideas. Even many fans in the stands were thinking this way. Wan Sheng, who was standing on the sidelines, was happily watching the game. In any case, the goal in the first two minutes of the game was still a pleasant reads;.
But the next game was a big surprise!
After the game restarted, Real Madrid launched a large-scale attack around Manchester City at halftime, breaking through again and again, passing the ball and attacking directly to the goal, which caught Manchester City's defense off guard. As a result, just 7 minutes later, Real Madrid used Kopelle Ferreira's missed person to successfully send the ball to the goal. Dunn, the Dutch shooter Van Nie, who transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid in the summer, directly supported Dunn and sent the ball into the net.
1:1.
This has just begun.
After Real Madrid tied the score, they continued to maintain their offensive and suppression, making Manchester City very passive. Wan Sheng watched the situation and anxiously reminded the team on the sidelines to "stay". However, under Real Madrid's offensive, Manchester City's backcourt defense still had frequent loopholes.
More importantly, Manchester City has been suppressed in the situation.
Manchester City's tactics are to control and suppress the fight. If they are counter-suppressed, then all the exquisite tactics will lose their meaning, because when the formation retracts the backcourt, the exquisite cooperation cannot be played at all. Football has always been under the opponent's feet, and the so-called control is simply out of the question.
In this way, in the 30th minute, Real Madrid took advantage of another corner kick opportunity and centre-back Cannavaro sent the ball into the goal.
1:2.
Real Madrid overtakes the score!
......
Manchester Stadium was silent, with only some shouts from Spanish fans, and all Manchester City fans were silent.
On the court, looking at the football in the door, Kopelle Ferreira's eyes were full of apology.
In the corner kick just now, Ferreira was responsible for the defense at the front point, but he was pushed by Van Nie and couldn't jump up. The football fell directly into the middle of the penalty area. Cannavaro got the opportunity. He felt that this goal was still his responsibility.
In addition to Kopelle Ferreira, the other teammates also had a little confused look. They didn't know why the game turned out like this. They were obviously favored by the media, but in the second minute, they scored goals and scored goals to lead their opponents at the beginning, which was the best situation. As a result, the half-time has not ended yet, and the opponent has overtaken the score?
Many players subconsciously looked at the sidelines, and they saw Wan Sheng's somewhat angry expression.
Wan Sheng has reason to be angry.
Before the game started, he emphasized that he should not underestimate Real Madrid. In terms of real strength, Real Madrid is definitely above Manchester City. Even in home games, it is not easy to defeat Real Madrid. They are not qualified to underestimate their opponents.
What's the result?
What he said was completely useless!
It is obvious that all the players on the court underestimated their opponents. Their performance was so poor that they could not fight the team's tactics for frequent mistakes on the court.
Real Madrid's two goals seem to be Kopelle Ferreira's mistake, but in fact, it is mainly because the overall performance of the whole team is not good. Otherwise, how could Real Madrid have so many opportunities in front of the goal? Any outstanding central defender cannot make mistakes in defense. The opponent has too many attacks, and mistakes are inevitable. Of course, this is not an excuse for Ferreira's mistakes, and his performance is not much better. The main reason is that Wan Sheng is even more annoyed the performance of the whole team.
Every player on the field is the culprit for being overtaken by his opponent!
None of their performances really satisfy Wansheng!
......
During the halftime break, the Manchester City locker room was a bit heavy.
Wan Sheng stood in the middle, his eyes scanning everyone's face. Every player he saw did not feel like he was looking down. They did not dare to look up at each other.
Thinking about the first half of the game and the coach's expression now, they feel a little scared.
The heavy breath lasted for three minutes.
No one spoke, no one looked around at other places, everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, some people couldn't help but raise their heads, but they immediately lowered their heads as soon as they saw Wansheng's chin.
They were very nervous.
So far this season, the coach has never been so serious and angry.
It was not until Wan Sheng finally spoke, "Do you still remember what I said?" A heavy voice made all the players breathe unconsciously. The atmosphere just now was too dull, and they were even a little breathless. Although the coach's tone was not good, it would be much better than before when he opened his mouth.
Some players raised their heads.
Wan Sheng looked over and it was Lee Morris. Only players like Morris who were very close to Wan Sheng dared to speak, "Boss, you said you can't underestimate your opponent, you have to treat the game with 100% energy!"
"Very good!" Wansheng looked at Morris, "But you didn't seem to remember my words?"
Morris immediately lowered his head and said, "Hug...sorry."
Wan Sheng snorted and didn't say anything more. Compared with other players, Morris performed very well, although in the first half, he completely became a "defensive midfielder" from the offensive core of the team.
Immediately afterwards, Wan Sheng looked at Kopelle Ferreira. (To be continued.)
