Chapter 404 Carlos's feelings(1/2)
No one knew what the Glasgow Wansheng coach Smith had reacted after hearing Wansheng's remarks, because he did not make any comments about the game afterwards. Some people speculated that, "Smith knew that he could not get a good deal in verbal competition, so he simply stopped talking."
But no matter what, Smith said nothing.
This disappointed the media reporters who hoped to interview the news before the start of the game, so everyone could only wait for the game to start with peace of mind.
Time passed quickly and the game was coming.
The Manchester Stadium has become very lively, and the stadium will only be full in the usual Premier League. However, in this Manchester City Champions League event, many fans hope to come to the scene to support the team, so the tickets were sold out early.
When the two teams finished warming up, the audience was already filled with fans and the atmosphere became hot.
In Manchester City's locker room, Wan Sheng said to everyone seriously, "I have already made it clear in terms of tactical play. I believe each of you know how to play when you are on the court!"
"What I want to tell you again now is not to underestimate your opponent! The Glasgow Rangers are not weak teams. If we don't play well, they may succeed!"
"You should have learned a lesson in their home court in the last round. We must give 100% seriousness in the game."
"The last time I drew with them, they also thought they were qualified to challenge us and made them feel that the team was very strong. This is good news for us. Maybe they would be careless. Their head coach Smith even publicly provoked."
"I think it's very interesting. A Scottish team dares to provoke us! So... you should be very clear about what you want to do today, right?"
Looking at the eager eyes in everyone's eyes, Wan Sheng nodded with satisfaction, then he pointed to the door and shouted, "Now! Come on!"
"Let us defeat them! Defeat them completely! Let them know that we cannot be provoked!"
Manchester Stadium, Manchester City's match against Glasgow Rangers has begun.
The Glasgow Rangers performed very tenaciously, and their players looked very energetic, and they did not show any cowardice because they were away games.
They kicked very openly and were very tenacious.
The tenacity of the Glasgow Rangers is reflected in dealing with Manchester City's offense. Through the last game, they were mentally prepared for this. Obviously, they also knew that it was difficult to win against Manchester City head-on, so they still chose to defend.
Perhaps they believe that relying on the team's solid defense, holding the goal and taking away a point, or even finding an opportunity to score the last goal and take away the victory, is possible.
However, they met a Manchester City team that went all out!
Manchester City, who last time they played against Glasgow Rangers, was definitely not a complete Manchester City. The lineup was incomplete and the players were incomplete. That Manchester City even looked down on Glasgow Rangers, so they had the opportunity to defend the goal at home.
It's different now.
Every Manchester City player wants to defeat the Glasgow Rangers. They put all their efforts into the game. Wan Sheng also sent most of the main players, plus they were at home.
This Manchester City team can be said to be in the strongest state!
Glasgow Rangers coach Smith never expected that his team had only persisted for 15 minutes in the face of such a Manchester City team.
By the 15 minutes of the game, Manchester Stadium had already exploded!
"Morris! Morris! In the 15th minute of the opening game, Morris broke through the Glasgow Rangers goal with a cold shot in front of the penalty area!"
"The score has become 1:0, Manchester City took the lead!"
Morris' shot was very sudden, which made the Glasgow Rangers' defense not react at all, and the football rushed directly into the bottom corner.
The moment the goal was scored, the camera shot was hungry Glasgow Rangers coach Smith, who saw him covering his face with his hands and seemed unbearable to watch it again.
"He might not have expected the team to concede the ball in 15 minutes..." Berbart said with some gloating pleasure on the live broadcast.
But in fact, Smith was surprised by the goal conceding, but he didn't care about a goal.
This goal may determine the victory of the game and will make it more difficult for the Glasgow Rangers to play, but this goal is the star's personal performance, which is helpless. If there is another chance, Morris may not be able to kick the ball in.
So Smith still has some hope for the game in his heart. He hopes that the team can perform well, strive to score the last goal in the game, and tie the score.
The Glasgow Rangers are completely able to accept the draw.
However, Smith's idea lasted for less than 10 minutes.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Manchester City took advantage of the continuous cooperation opportunities and Ozil found a gap on the left side of the penalty area and shot directly with a left foot to help the team break through the Glasgow Rangers goal again.
"Ozil!!"
“2:0!”
"It's only half of the first half, and Manchester City has taken a 2-0 lead. This goal is thanks to all Manchester City players. They played a delicate cooperation near the Glasgow Rangers penalty area and directly opened the Glasgow Rangers' defense line!"
"Manchester City has already scored two goals, and we'll see how the Glasgow Rangers play..."
After seeing this goal, Smith could be described as "being beaten up". He was a little confused and finally realized that the game was not as simple as he imagined.
Within 25 minutes and two goals behind, anyone knows that this is simply fatal to the Glasgow Rangers!
Smith began to think about whether to make adjustments.
If the game continues like this, the team's fighting spirit will be beaten away, and it will definitely not work if it continues.
But just when Smith hadn't thought about what to make for adjustments, Manchester City scored another goal.
Darren Bent!!
Taking advantage of a foot ball opportunity, Darren Bent squeezed out the Glasgow Rangers defender and rubbed the ball into the left net with the back of his head.
3:0!
"Marcelona scored 3 goals in the 30th minute of the game! Darren Bent, a beautiful header! Manchester City led 3:0, and the game basically lost suspense. I think what we are concerned about now is how many goals Manchester City can win..."
Some commentators also talked about Smith, "Before the game, Glasgow Rangers coach Smith said that the team was confident that they would do their best, and that it would look like Glasgow Rangers had defeated Manchester City, but Manchester City taught them a lesson in 30 minutes, just like Wan Sheng said, 'The victory should be used to make them more sober, not all teams can achieve good results in the Champions League'."
"I don't know, is Mr. Smith a little sober now?"
The live screen immediately switched to the Glasgow Rangers coach seat, giving head coach Smith a close-up.
Smith half-opened his mouth, his face was a little scary. Perhaps he didn't want to believe that the team was already behind 3 goals.
No one knew what Smith was thinking, but he was definitely not in a good mood, and maybe no one cared about him, because the game was much better than expected.
After Manchester City confirmed the victory of the game with three goals, they played very relaxed, and the players relaxed their mentality and became very casual in their performance.
The following time, until the second half, became a solo performance of Manchester City's "stars", and players showed their efforts on the court.
Manchester City's previous play was no longer orderly and well-organized, but the performance of each player also made the scene look much more exciting.
With the willful performance of Manchester City players, the Glasgow Rangers only felt that the defense was in danger, and some players even felt even more depressed when defending.
Before, Manchester City's offensives used cooperation to penetrate the defense line, but now they have to face the performance of stars. For example, Morris, it is not the first time that he has relied on his own strength to pass two Glasgow Rangers defensive players in a row.
For him, such an extraordinary person is interesting, but for the Glasgow Rangers defensive player, it is simply a humiliation.
Manchester City stars are not only Morris, David Silva, Ozil, Martin Petrov, Torres, etc. These players have certain skills in footwork and are very strong in technical skills. Moreover, they do not just dribble the ball by themselves. In many cases, they also choose to pass the ball, but the Glasgow Rangers feel that they cannot defend at all.
One-on-one, they are not opponents; eleven-on-eleven, they are still completely defeated!
Finally, in the 53rd minute of the game, Torres helped Manchester City score another goal.
This is his personal performance.
At the front of the penalty area, when Torres received the pass, he dribbled the ball and broke through the horizontal line. Then he used fake moves to leave room, and he directly chose to shoot.
Football heads straight to the far corner!
The Glasgow Rangers goalkeeper made a save, but the football speed was too fast and his save was still one step late.
"Torres's shot is quite wonderful!"
"Manchester City has already led by four goals, and there is no suspense in the game. The Glasgow Rangers probably never thought the game would be so easy, but they should feel that it was easy to lose..."
As if in line with the commentator's words, after Torres scored, Manchester City began to substitution.
Wan Sheng waved his hand, three up and three down.
Boateng, Sun Jihai, Carlos played respectively, Lescott, Ferreira and Morris were substituted.
Seeing Manchester City's substitutions, everyone felt that the game had entered garbage time, because Morris had ended, and his end would definitely have a great impact on Manchester City's offense.
However, the next game proved that even without Morris, Manchester City could already play well in offense.
After Morris left the field, the most shining ones on the field became Silva and Ozil. Manchester City led by the two continued to maintain an offensive against the Glasgow Rangers.
In the 74th minute, Manchester City scored another goal.
This time it was Ozil who scored the goal again!
"Ozil scored twice, helping Manchester City lead Glasgow Rangers 5-0!"
"Incredible, it's incredible that Manchester City can lead by five goals. This is a Champions League match. Glasgow Rangers are definitely not a weak team!"
"Losing the game with five goals may have a heavy blow to the Glasgow Rangers. I hope this will not affect them in the next two games..." Berbart seemed to comfort the Glasgow Rangers, but in fact, no one could hear the gloom in his voice.
At this time, Glasgow Rangers coach Smith had already buried his head in his chest. He just hoped that the game would end soon, but he didn't want to endure the torture of his team being "bombarded".
Losing the game 5:0, he didn't even know how to comfort the players after the game.
It's normal to say that Manchester City is too strong, losing the game is normal? But that's not what he said before.
So what do you say to the media later?
Scottish local media will almost certainly question his preparation for the game and will also raise questions about his confidence before the game.
Smith was in a terrible mind.
So he raised his head and glanced at the arena. At that moment, he saw a white light flying into his goal, as if it was hitting directly on his heart.
Manchester City...scored another goal!
To be continued...
