Among Manchester City's 11 players, the happiest one is midfielder Ozil.

In this game, Ozil and Erano Brumer partnered with the midfield combination. Erano Brumer was the midfielder and Manchester City's midfielder was a diamond position. Then Erano Brumer's main job was to defend and could only provide some support in offense, so Ozil undoubtedly became the core of the offense.

Ozil has always envied Morris because Morris is the core every time he plays, he is the core of the team, and the most important member of the game.

Now Ozil has the same chance.

Without Morris and Silva, Ozil was the only midfield core, so he shouldered the heavy responsibility of leading the team's offense.

When Wan Sheng announced the lineup, Ozil was very excited. He came to Manchester City for more than a season and had become the team's regular player, but every time he made a appearance, he had to partner with Silva or Morris. He was just a supporter of the midfield and the responsibility of leading the team's offense had nothing to do with him.

Now, he finally shoulders the heavy responsibility.

When he heard the coach's roster, Ozil was looking forward to it, hoping to prove himself in the game.

However, after the game really started, Ozil felt the pressure.

If Morris or Silva is on the court, all he needs to do is to run according to tactics, but as the core of the offensive, it will be different. He must not be as casual as before. His main task is to use his own running to lead the offensive of the entire team.

So Ozil had more things to consider on the court, and his position and playing style were also restricted.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

When partnering with Morris or Silva, Ozil plugs in as long as he wants to, and if he wants to be placed behind the formation, he will be placed behind the formation. As long as the running does not hinder the offensive, the position is still relatively casual.

It's different now.

Ozil had almost no chance to do anything, but just kept using the passes to activate the entire team's offense.

Ozil felt a little distressed.

Seeing his teammates performing continuously, and he could only stand outside the penalty area, and he had to constantly observe his teammates' positions, opponents' positions, etc., he found that his feelings as the core were not very good.

Wan Sheng kept watching the game, and he was also paying attention to Ozil.

In the team's 'os-f' system, the offensive core is very important. In the real game, the team seems to have more than one core. For example, Morris is defended, and Silva or others can also revitalize the offense. But in fact, that is just brought about by the team's routine running, and there is always only one real core.

Even if the core players do nothing and stand there, they will become the benchmark for offense and defense of the entire team. When the core players run to the front, the overall formation will be pressed, and on the contrary, the team's formation will shrink.

This is the core role.

To put it in an analogy, the core player is like a general of an army. Of course, the powerful general is very powerful, but for a general, command is always the most important thing.

Manchester City's playing style is orderly, like an army, and it doesn't matter if the core players do nothing. As long as he uses running to command the team's offense and defense.

Of course, outstanding core players, such as Morris, can also perform some individually while commanding the team, which is amazing, so he is a world-class player. For Ozil, in this game, Wan Sheng hopes to see him show the qualities of some top players.

Top players, especially top midfielders, are not only good personal skills or accurate shooting. They must have an excellent overall view, seize every opportunity, give the team the correct command, and have certain personal performance.

Ozil has potential in this regard.

Wan Sheng believes that this game will become a rare opportunity for him to exercise.

Many people think that defensive midfielders, that is, midfielders, are the "blue-collar" of football games, because they are difficult to perform well on the field. They spend most of their time doing "dirty" and "tired" work. In contrast, forwards and wingers are "white-collar workers". They can not perform in the whole game, but as long as they occasionally have a "shock of inspiration", score a goal, or have other outstanding performances, they will receive a lot of cheers and praise.

Now Ozil feels that the core of the midfield is also a "blue-collar worker", and even a blue-collar worker who is bluer than the "back midfielder".

From the first minute of the game, since the running requires consideration of the whole team, Ozil is easily restricted by Stuttgart. Most of the time he takes the ball in the middle and backcourt. Whenever he crosses the center line, he needs to hand over the ball to his teammates and get the ball in the frontcourt. He can think of how to organize the offense and how to break through the opponent's defense line. On the contrary, the teammates are really showing their performance.

Just now, the team scored a goal, and many Manchester City players were cheering, and Ozil was also cheering, but there was not much smile on his face.

He was a little jealous of his teammates.

For example... Ivan Krue with an excited face!

This guy did nothing just now, and ran to the front and was in the back, facing the attacks of two Stuttgart defensive players, and successfully sent the ball over.

But this is not an assist!

Ivan Kru received the pass in an open position, and after that, he was not under pressure, and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area. Torres received the ball and turned around and shot the ball.

The biggest contributor to this goal is undoubtedly himself, but the fans called out Torres.

"...I guess the media commentator also praised Ivan Kru's exquisite pass?" Ozil thought depressedly.

He finally knew that it was not easy to be a core player!

However, Ozil also knew that being able to become a core player is the coach's attention to him, and this game opportunity is rare, so he tried his best to do the tasks assigned by the coach.

Since then, Ozil has been working hard, and has also strived to get rid of defense and help himself find opportunities.

Under Ozil's leadership, Manchester City still suppressed Stuttgart.

Although Manchester City is only a rotation lineup, the players' strength is there, and even the rotation lineup is not inferior to Stuttgart. What's more, this is a home game, and Stuttgart is also a "lack of soldiers".

The two teams ended 1-0 in the first half, and with Torres' goal, Manchester City led Stuttgart at home.

During the halftime break, Wan Sheng did not say anything about the game, and spent all his time on Ozil. He analyzed Ozil's performance in the first half and guided him in what he should do in the game.

Morris was also next to him, and he also added some supplements to Wan Sheng's words.

Morris has always been the core of the team. He is experienced in this position. If Ozil heard Morris say before, he would definitely be disdainful or confused, but now, referring to the feeling of the first half, he feels suddenly enlightened.

With the dual guidance of Wan Sheng and Morris, Ozil's performance became more stable in the second half.

He knew what he should do in the game and under what circumstances he could get in and look for opportunities without disrupting the team's overall offensive.

These details are very helpful for Ozil who was the core for the first time.

Until the 70th minute, although Ozil did not perform well in offense, it was obvious that he was more calm in running and defending on the field.

After the 70th minute of the game, the score between the two sides was still 1:0, and Wan Sheng also began to make adjustments to the game.

It is not safe to lead by only one ball. If a player in Stuttgart breaks out, victory will turn into a draw. Wan win will not give the opponent such a chance, so he chose to replace Ivan Kru and replace Morris.

In this way, Manchester City's midfielder has three more players, Ozil, Morris and Erano Brummer.

As soon as Morris appeared, Ozil didn't have to continue to be the core.

This change did not disappoint Ozil, but instead let out a long sigh.

After seventy minutes of the game, Ozil felt that it was no time to be easier than now!

After Morris appeared, he was no longer the core of the midfield, so he could follow the lineup to run at will. He no longer had to worry about the overall offense of the team, no longer had to pay attention to the movements of others, just run according to tactics, pay attention to finding positions, and find opportunities.

It feels like I am learning complex advanced mathematics. After studying for a long time, after struggling with brain cells, the one in front of me becomes middle school mathematics... Perhaps, middle school mathematics is still very difficult for many people, but it is much simpler than advanced mathematics.

Ozil felt extremely relaxed!

He ran at will and chose to insert it at will. When he was a little tired, he could drag it back at will as long as he had his teammates forward. At the same time, he could also clearly know when to insert it is the best time.

After the first 70 minutes of the game, Ozil felt that his overall view had improved significantly.

After the game felt much easier, Ozil began to intervene frequently in and look for opportunities. His running was very active and he often received passes from his teammates. So he became the player with the most names mentioned by the commentator in the last twenty minutes of the game.

Hard work pays off!

When the game reached the 87th minute, Ozil finally got the chance.

This is a straight pass from Erano Brummer. In the past, in the face of this opportunity, Ozil would definitely choose to drive the ball and break through, which would easily lead to a single shot. He is still very confident in his footwork.

But this time, Ozil almost subconsciously glanced around and saw Torres quickly inserted from the right side, so he decisively pushed the ball over.

"Ozil, he handed the ball to Torres!"

"Torres..."

"Torres! Torres"

With Berbart's excited shout, Torres dribbled the ball across the penalty area line, facing the attacking goalkeeper Shafire, and sent the ball into Stuttgart's goal with a lob shot. (~^~)
