Chapter four hundred and fortieth gratification and powerlessness

Wan Sheng was very excited.

He felt that there was no moment, and he was more confident in the team than he is now.

Since becoming the head coach, he has taken all the pressure on team games, player performance and other aspects. It is difficult for both assistant coaches and players in the team to share the pressure for him.

Manchester City is built by him now.

Most of the players are trained by him, and the tactics are created by him. Even the players' status and performance are within his plan. Whenever there are some problems in the game, he has to analyze and think about how to solve them. He has never thought that someone can help him solve them before.

Just like just now, Kopelle Ferreira was sent off with a red card, and he kept thinking about how to change it so that the situation could be more beneficial to the team. He felt that the pressure was his own and he should come up with a way to solve it himself.

But now, Wansheng found that there is still someone who can share the burden for him.

The players on the court performed much better than they thought. They are already mature professional players. When they encounter difficulties in the game, they are not lost or anything. Instead, they rise up to find opportunities to score a goal to overtake the team.

This is the players' own performance!

He didn't intervene, and the team could perform very well.

At this moment, Wan Sheng was extremely relieved.

This is the team I have brought out, and this is the players I have trained. They are all very outstanding, have their own judgments on the court, and will work hard to score goals themselves, rather than relying on themselves.

That feeling...is like watching your child grow up, be able to complete some things independently, and be able to take on some heavy burdens.

Wan Sheng sat back on the coach's seat with a smile, because there was nothing to worry about in the game. Even if the team faced with 10 people, he would not make any changes and believed that the team could persevere until the end.

AC Milan was stunned by Manchester City's goal.

They just relied on Kaka's penalty kick to equalize the score, which was the only goal since the beginning of the game, but they never expected that they had just scored a goal with difficulty, and Manchester City overtook it again with just one wave of attacks?

The feeling was that they worked hard for a goal, but the opponent easily took it away with him...

AC Milan players were extremely depressed, and Morris' goal hit their morale a huge blow.

When the game started again, some players did not recover. They even thought, "It was just an hallucination, the score was still 1-1", but it was obviously a self-comfortable idea.

But if you don’t think about it this way, it will be even more uncomfortable to face reality.

1 to 2.

This is a score that is worse than 0-1, because in two rounds of games, away goals are very important. According to the rules of the Champions League knockout stage, if the score is even, it depends on the number of away goals. Manchester City has two away goals. Then when they return to Manchester Stadium, even if AC Milan can win 1-0, they will still be eliminated because they score one away goal less than Manchester City.

British BBC broadcast commentator Ryan John also analyzed, "Manchester City scored the second goal and led AC Milan again. The score is very unfavorable for AC Milan."

"If the game ends 1-2, then the chances of returning to Manchester Stadium and Manchester City's elimination of AC Milan will become very big."

As it turns out, Wansheng's trust in Morris is correct.

Morris was also excited to finish the goal, but he was not overwhelmed by the goal. When Manchester City celebrated, he had already figured out what to do next.

The attempt to score a goal just now was the result of everyone's strong cooperation, but it also had AC Milan's carelessness and some luck.

This is what football matches are, and luck in trying to score goals accounts for a large part.

But the team's luck cannot always be so good. The key point is that the team currently has one less person than the opponent, and they are still playing at San Siro Stadium.

When AC Milan became serious, they were ready to deal with the other party's counterattack, so Morris reminded everyone to be careful.

"We have to retreat a little, and it's already acceptable to us 1-2, we have to hold the goal."

He said to his teammates.

After saying that, Morris also glanced at the coaching seat. He had been playing for Wan Sheng for nearly five seasons and still knew Wan Sheng very well. He believed that Wan Sheng would have commanded like this if it were Wan Sheng.

If you have an advantage, you must keep the goal and not be complacent. In a passive situation, the most correct choice is to continue the advantage until the end.

That's what Morris thinks.

So when the game started again, AC Milan found that Manchester City had begun to retreat, and the opponent's formation retreated, and several midfielders, including Ozil and Silva, retreated to the backcourt.

AC Milan wants to use the last time to equalize the score, but the first thing they have to face is Manchester City's penalty area line that is strictly guarded by death. A bunch of players are stuck at the front of the penalty area, forming a very stable defense line.

This defense line made AC Milan players feel that they were so angry that it was difficult for them to rely on cooperation to break through the defense line. The superb skills of Kaka, Pirlo and other players also lost their effect.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's seat and saw the team retreating, he immediately laughed.

"He is really my best disciple." He sighed to Diamares.

Diamares laughed after hearing this.

Now the two of them don’t have to command anything. There is not much time for the game. The team is wholeheartedly defending. The one that should be troubled is AC Milan.

AC Milan coach Ancelotti is really having a headache.

Manchester City's goal to overtake was unexpected. After Kaka scored, he wanted to let the team take the opportunity to score another goal, and the team had a little advantage when they scored 2-1 at home, but Morris's goal made the score reverse.

If AC Milan wants to win greater hope, they must complete the goal before the end of the game.

But seeing Manchester City's defensive look, Ancelotti didn't know what to do. In fact, AC Milan's offensive ability has always been a problem. Although the team has excellent frontcourts such as Kaka, Pirlo, and Pato, the age of the veterans in the backcourt is a big problem. Relying on only a few frontcourt players to attack, it still works in the Italian domestic league. When it comes to the European arena, it is a bit weaker than the English and Spanish teams.

Now AC Milan has this problem. It is difficult for them to rely on cooperation to make sharp attacks, and they often rely on the individual performance of the players.

But as opponents, like Manchester City now, with all their hearts on defense, it will be difficult for them to find opportunities in front of the goal.

Ancelotti felt weak.

He knew that no matter how he made adjustments, he could not change the situation on the court. It was a matter of the whole game to complete the goal, not just a few minutes, but now there is only hope that miracles can happen.

Under Manchester City's strict defense, perhaps miracles must stand aside.

The last time of the game was the exhausted under AC Milan's strong attack and Manchester City's strict defense.

Until the last minute of the game, AC Milan still failed to score. The final game ended 1-2, and Manchester City took away a goal difference advantage and two away goals from San Siro Stadium.

Even the Italian media said, "...Acc Milan failed to play a good game, and the second round became very difficult for them..."

When the referee blew the whistle of the game, Manchester City players celebrated and cheered together, and Manchester City fans in the stands cheered wildly. As the home team's AC Milan players all lowered their brains and couldn't believe they would lose at home.

Wan Sheng took the initiative to step forward and smiled and shook hands with Ancelotti.

He was so happy with the game.

In fact, what he is satisfied with is not just the score. 1-2 is indeed very beneficial to Manchester City, but it cannot be said that AC Milan completely lost the opportunity. When they arrived at Manchester Stadium, they won two goals, or won one, scored multiple away goals, and were able to eliminate Manchester City. This is not impossible.

What Wan Sheng is most satisfied with is the performance of the players on the court, or Morris' performance.

This game shapes a stronger Morris.

Wan Sheng believes that Morris will definitely perform better in the future, and under his leadership, the team will perform better. At this moment, he has more confidence in the team's championship this season.

Ancelotti stood there, waiting for Wan Sheng to come.

The old coach also smiled, but the smile was full of bitterness. He shook hands with Wan Sheng, then looked at Wan Sheng, shook his head and said, "It's hard to imagine... You are too young! I was still playing football at this age, but since last year, we have fought twice? I didn't expect your team to play so well. Morris is such a genius."

Wan Sheng smiled, "He is indeed very outstanding."

"You're even better," said Ancelotti. "You're just over 30, aren't you?"

Wan Sheng nodded, "I will be 31 years old by May."

Ancelotti shook his head, "It's really unimaginable. I thought we had an advantage at home. However, we won't give up. I'm looking forward to going to Manchester."

"I'm looking forward to it too." Wan Sheng smiled.

The two looked at each other and then walked into the stadium passage together.

European media are very concerned about the match between Manchester City and AC Milan, and this game is also the most watched game in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

1-2, Manchester City won away.

This result surprised the media. Even the British media that support Manchester City were very surprised. They thought that Manchester City had a chance to eliminate AC Milan, but it was definitely very difficult. Unexpectedly, Manchester City won away games.

Then when you go back to home, Manchester City has a great chance!

"Manchester City played an advantage away in the first leg, which is a bit unimaginable. AC Milan made a mistake in this game. They only relied on Kaka to score a goal. Compared with that, Morris, who is also the core, performed better. He led Manchester City to suppress AC Milan at San Siro for most of the time."

"In this game, Manchester City's tactics are a highlight. Wan Sheng arranged almost six midfielders. In addition to Petrov, Ozil, Silva, Morris, Ivan Kruy, Darren Bent can also be said to be a midfielder. He did not play double striker in parallel with Torres."

"Maybe it was Manchester City's tactics that caught AC Milan off guard. In the first half, it can be seen that Manchester City completely dominated the midfield, and it is difficult for AC Milan to compete with them near the center line."

"After the game, AC Milan coach Ancelotti also admitted that he lost in tactical response, which also proves that Manchester City's preparations are quite mature..."
