Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 345 Witnessed by 7 million viewers, Manchester Derby!

"Van Gaal really knows how to choose the time. If it was at the beginning of the season, he would not dare to let out such big words if he had the guts!"

"Isn't that right? Manchester City is now full of wounded soldiers, the coach is still absent, and they lost a game just now. It can be said that everything has fallen into a trough!"

"Manchester United's luck is very good. If this game is two rounds earlier, I think their chances of winning may be less than 3%. At this time, when they meet such a Manchester City, the outcome will be hard to say!"

After Van Gaal's big words were released, they immediately aroused the ridicule of many fans.

For his behavior of taking advantage of others, the majority of fans are quite disdainful.

But Manchester United fans don't care about this, they see the hope of defeating Manchester City away.

The scene of the Red Devils being humiliated by Manchester City at Old Trafford last season has become an eternal pain in their hearts.

If they can't avenge Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, I'm afraid this thorn will always be stuck in their throats, making them suffer forever.

Before the game, BBC Sports specially interviewed some experts and celebrities to ask their views on the game.

Most of the celebrities interviewed felt that Van Gaal's Manchester United had a chance to win away games.

"Manchester City has too many injuries. The strikers, midfielders and defenders, the entire central axis has been shaken. An injury of this scale has a great impact on the team's combat effectiveness."

"Manchester City's head coach is absent, and the acting coach has been suspended. The team has no tactical advantage at all. I believe Van Gaal can rely on his better on-the-spot command to defeat Manchester City!"

The opinions of the experts are very unified, and they are almost not optimistic about Manchester City, which is playing at home.

And they all believe that Manchester City's weakness lies in the lack of the head coach's tactical arrangements and on-the-spot scheduling.

Although it is said that Pellegrini is not the kind of famous coach with outstanding on-the-spot command ability, his ability in this area is better than Manchester City's assistant coach no matter what.

After all, the old coach has led the team to play games for so many years, and has encountered all kinds of situations. The accumulated experience alone is not comparable to these assistant coaches.

Manchester City relying on the on-the-spot command and adjustment of the assistant coach is definitely not as good as the wily Van Gaal. The latter is a famous coach after all, and he definitely has two brushes.

So even if Manchester City can survive the start, I am afraid that in the second half, especially after Van Gaal made adjustments to the situation of the game, they will still lose.

……

Under the pessimism of the outside world, there is also a pessimistic atmosphere in the Manchester City team.

Players are always prone to distraction during training, and some players are always habitually looking towards the edge of the court where the head coach is.

In the past, there was always an old man with silver hair standing on the sidelines and urging them to train.

At that time, the players would complain that the coach was too tight on the training, which made them feel a little overwhelmed.

But now, after the old man on the sidelines disappeared, they were a little less used to it.

"What is the coach's illness? Why hasn't he recovered after so many days?"

"I don't know, why don't we go to the hospital?"

At this point, everyone looked at Lin Quan.

Lin Quan nodded: "Then go ahead and see how the captain and the others are recovering!"

So, after the training, everyone drove to the hospital to visit the condition of the coach and teammates.

"Why are you here?"

In the ward, Pellegrini was very surprised to see the players who suddenly appeared.

"Coach, let's take a look at you! How is your condition?"

In the ward, Pellegrini was wearing a hospital gown, and his face looked a little haggard, but his mental state was not bad.

At least he didn't appear unconscious and full of various instruments as the players had guessed.

This made the Manchester City players feel relieved, the situation seems not so serious?

Hearing what the players said, Pellegrini pretended to be relaxed and said:

"Hehe, there is no big problem, I can return to the team and continue working soon!"

Pellegrini's answer lifted the players' spirits. As long as the head coach returns, they feel that the team can quickly come out of the trough.

"You are here for the next game, right? I also have something to tell you. I have studied the tactics of the next game and the tactics that Manchester United may adopt these days..."

Pellegrini is a workaholic, even in the hospital, he did not stop working.

During his hospitalization, he carefully studied Manchester United's tactical play in the last few games, and determined the starting list and tactics for the next game based on Manchester City's current lineup.

Even, because he was worried that the assistant coach's on-the-spot command ability was not enough, he even made arrangements in advance for the situation and timing of substitutions.

It can be said that no matter how big or small, Chilean engineers have achieved the ultimate.

After listening to his arrangement, the players suddenly felt confident.

Although the team's lineup is still incomplete, they have a lot of confidence in defeating Manchester United at home!
After staying in the ward for a while, the players said their goodbyes and left.

Lin Quan kept an eye out and deliberately stayed behind. After the other players had left, he went to find the doctor in charge of treating Pellegrini and asked him about his condition.

Sure enough, the situation was completely different from what Pellegrini said.

According to the doctor's introduction, Pellegrini's disease is an aneurysm, which is a very dangerous disease and there is a risk of death if it ruptures.

"Does the disease interfere with his normal work?"

Lin Quan asked with concern.

"Of course!"

The doctor replied with a serious expression:

"Patients suffering from this disease are advised to be admitted to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible. It is not recommended to continue to work, because fatigue will aggravate the condition and increase the risk of aneurysm rupture, which will pose a threat to the patient's life safety."

After listening to the doctor's answer, Lin Quan suddenly felt something was wrong.

This disease was suddenly detected, and the old coach might not be able to continue coaching.

On the club side, I'm afraid they have already started looking for a suitable successor, right?
It is impossible for the team to remain without a coach...

November 11, Etihad Stadium.

The focus of the entire Premier League is on the two teams in this stadium!
Although the team is in a trough, the outside world is not optimistic about Manchester City winning at home.

But before the start of the game, tens of thousands of Manchester City fans still poured into the scene.

They played various slogans supporting the team, sang the team anthem of Manchester City, and stepped into the stadium with their heads held high.

The fans of Blue Moon used their actual actions to explain to the outside world the spirit of never giving up and never giving up!
Seeing Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal stepping into the stadium, the Manchester City fans at the scene booed collectively, and some fans near the coaching bench of the visiting team even greeted Van Gaal's family.

Hearing these boos and insults, Van Gaal, who stepped into the stadium, glanced disdainfully at the Manchester City fans in the stands:
"Hmph, a bunch of idiots, you'll cry when the game is over!"

He doesn't like the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium or the fans.

If possible, he hopes to use a bloody massacre to teach these damned guys how to respect a world-class marshal!
In the player channel, players from both sides are waiting to enter the field.

Although there are many familiar people on both sides, no one intends to say hello.

Under the publicity of the outside world, this game has become a life-and-death battle.

Soon, under the leadership of the referee, the players from both sides led the caddies out of the player tunnel and onto the court.

When the presenter introduced the players from both sides, every Manchester City player received deafening cheers and support from the fans.

When Manchester United players were introduced, there were only boos and abuse on the field.

A few years ago, Manchester City's strength was still very weak. At that time, Manchester United was in full swing, and they didn't pay attention to the neighbor next door at all.

At that time, the Manchester Derby was the performance stage of the Red Devils. Although the passion was hot, it lacked the anxiety of being evenly matched.

But in the past few years, with the gradual rise of Manchester City, the game between the two teams has really tasted like a derby.

As a result, the Manchester Derby gradually became popular, and more and more fans chose to watch the Manchester Derby. In the entire Premier League, its popularity is second only to the Double Red Club that has lasted for decades.

And this time, I am afraid that the strength of the two teams is the closest. Whoever can have the last laugh depends on their respective performances.

Such a suspenseful game naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

According to the official statistics of the Premier League, this Manchester Derby attracted a total of 6.9 million viewers around the world to watch at the same time.

This popularity can almost catch up with the enthusiasm of the World Cup!
11月2日晚18:30分，在万众瞩目之下，2014-15赛季英超联赛首回合曼彻斯特德比战正式打响。

In this game, Manchester City's formation is 442, and Manchester United's formation is 433.

But after the start of the game, Manchester United's formation became 4141.
Van Gaal is finally willing to change his stubborn tactical style of play. Those miserable records at the beginning of the season show that his set is not suitable for Manchester United at all.

If he had listened to the advice of the outside world earlier, perhaps Manchester United's current points would not be so far behind the top team.

At present, Manchester United is 11 points behind Manchester City in the standings. You must know that the league is only in the 10th round. It took only 9 games for Manchester United to widen such a huge gap.

How bad Van Gaal's previous team leadership performance must have been!

It's no wonder that the Red Devils fans are furious. It's almost the worst record in team history.

After the game started, Manchester City played very proactively.

They frequently used two wingers to attack Manchester United.

This made Manchester United's full-backs tightly suppressed in their own half, unable to spare too much effort to attack.

Therefore, judging from the situation on the field, it seems that Manchester City has gradually gained the upper hand.

In the 8th minute, Milner sent a through kick after breaking through from the wing.

Lin Quan suddenly inserted from the left rib, squeezed away the opponent's midfielder Fellaini, received the ball and shot directly.

The ball was played very suddenly. It took less than 2 seconds from Lin Quan's start to his completion of the shot.

Because Lin Quan played too fast and suddenly, the two Manchester United defenders, Smalling and Rojo, had no time to block.

The football went straight to Manchester United's goal!
As Lin Quan's national team teammate, De Gea has seen Lin Quan's strength with his own eyes in the Spanish team's training and competitions, so he has always focused on guarding against Lin Quan.

The ball started from Lin Quan's sudden start, and De Gea judged that he was likely to hit the goal directly.

Facts have proved that his judgment is accurate.

Facing Lin Quan's high-quality shot, De Gea jumped high and lifted the ball over the crossbar in the air.

He originally planned to take the ball off, but the speed of the ball was too fast and the strength was too great. He didn't dare to try it lightly, so he could only use a more secure method to shoot the ball out first.

Manchester City wins a corner.

Lin Quan stood in the corner area, glanced at the penalty area, and gestured forward.

After Van Dijk saw his gesture, he ran two steps back smartly, and then turned back suddenly, so as to get rid of the Manchester United defender who was defending him.

Van Dijk grabbed the first spot and also formed a header.

But the top of the ball was a little off, and the football hit the post and flew out of the bottom line.

This wave of Manchester City's offense made the Manchester United fans on the scene terrified!
Although the opponent injured several generals, the head coach also missed the game.

But the opponent's fighting power is still not to be underestimated!
Especially the Manchester City guy wearing the No. [-] jersey. Every time they see him take the ball, Manchester United fans feel like their hearts are being held by hands, and there is a feeling of suffocation that can't breathe!

Lin Quan alone brought them such a great sense of oppression!

On the sidelines, assistant coach Raedel clapped his hands excitedly, sending applause and encouragement to the players.

In this game, he played completely according to the tactics formulated by Pellegrini. According to the old coach's tactics, Manchester United's adjustment in the first half should not come so quickly.

It will take some time for Van Gaal to see through Manchester City's tactics, so this is an excellent time for them to grab points.

Once they break the deadlock in the first half and take the lead.

Then it will be very convenient to adjust tactics in the second half!

Manchester City has one of the simplest and most terrifying tactics-defensive counterattack!
Although defensive counterattack is the first choice for weak teams to play against strong teams, it does not mean that strong teams cannot use it.

On the contrary, when a powerful team uses this tactic, its power will be even more terrifying.

In the UEFA Champions League last season, clubs such as Barcelona and Real Madrid had a deep understanding of this.

Therefore, what Manchester City lacks now is just a goal!
On the coaching side of the visiting team, Van Gaal sat on the coaching bench, looking relaxed and freehand.

But in fact, he was also very nervous inside, not as calm as he looked on the outside.

Manchester City's offensive threat is so great that Van Gaal's heart can't stand it.

Fortunately, Manchester City is not in its heyday. If the opponent's staff is neat and the head coach is not sick and hospitalized, then Manchester United will really be in trouble.
