Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 353 Guardiola succeeds in his work, the 18-year-old shines on the pitch!

"Half of Manchester City's starting list are substitutes, and there are a few guys whose names have never been seen before!"

"Guardiola's courage is really great, he actually carried out such a large-scale rotation!"

"Is that how they look down on West Bromwich Albion?"

After seeing Manchester City's starting list, there was a lot of discussion from the outside world, and they all felt that Guardiola was playing too much.

West Bromwich Albion is a Premier League team after all, and you are too contemptuous of having so many substitutes!
The head coach of West Bromwich Albion thought so too. He glanced at Guardiola next to him with some resentment, his face was very ugly.

Guardiola looks very calm, at least on the surface.

He calmly sat down on the coach's bench, turned his head and chatted with several assistant coaches beside him, talking and laughing, as if he was not worried about any problems with the starter he dispatched.

The 52-year-old Torrent, seated closest to Guardiola, asked with concern:
"Is this really okay?"

Guardiola replied calmly:

"If the tactics are successful, there will be no problem!"

This sentence made Torrent even more worried: "What if the tactics fail?"

Guardiola shook his head: "Don't worry my old man, I won't fail!"

When he said this, Guardiola's eyes fell on Lin who had just appeared on the field.

You Lin Quan gave him the bottom line, and he was very confident in his heart.

Under the eyes of everyone, with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Those who followed the game widened their eyes, wanting to see the difference between the Manchester City under Guardiola and the Manchester City under Pellegrini before.

After watching for a while, everyone found an exception:

"How did Fernandinho's position appear at the back?"

"Is Manchester City's formation 3322?"

"It doesn't look like it, it looks like 3421 when attacking!"

"The positioning of this midfielder is too strange. How many midfielders does Manchester City have?"

"Is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Manchester City has more people than their opponents? Why do they have people everywhere, and they all have a numerical advantage?"

Ordinary fans expressed that they could not understand Manchester City's formation at all. The opponent's defender was not like a defender, the midfielder was not like a midfielder, and even the wingers were not what they imagined.

In this game, although Lin Quan was placed on the right winger position, he often retreated to his own half to get the ball on the court.

It doesn't feel like a winger, but a full-back with a slightly forward position.

In a corner of the stands, looking at Manchester City's formation on the field, Chelsea's assistant coach, Rui Faria, who has worked with Mourinho for 15 years, couldn't help frowning and muttering road:
"The waist guard swings and the winger retreats?"

He saw very clearly just now that Fernandinho appeared in the position of central defender when the defense was in position.

But when attacking, his positional premise appears in the position of the midfielder.

The advantage of this is that it can increase the number of midfielders and increase the number of shots.

This tactic was used by Guardiola when he was at Barcelona and Bayern. He once transformed the two midfielders of Mascherano and Martinez into defenders.

So when Faria saw Fernandinho's position moved back, he immediately thought of this tactic.

However, what is the use of this tactic with the winger retreating?
Faria couldn't see through Guardiola's intentions for a while, so he could only continue to observe.

People from other teams who came to spy on intelligence had similar ideas to him. Everyone has seen Guardiola's adjustments to Manchester City.

But limited by their vision and unable to guess Guardiola's unrestrained thoughts that day, they couldn't figure out Guardiola's intentions for doing this for a while.

After Fernandinho's position was moved forward, Manchester City's numerical advantage in the midfield was reflected, and several threatening attacks were quickly organized.

This made the head coach of West Bromwich Albion very vigilant. He is not an idiot, so he naturally saw what the problem was.

They didn't arrange players to limit Fernandinho!
After all, who would specially arrange manpower to limit the opponent's central defender before the game?

With no restrictions, Fernandinho became the initiator of Manchester City's midfield attack.

If it weren't for his ability to play the ball is not too strong, Manchester City might have scored in the previous few attacks.

Seeing that Fernandinho once again advanced from the back line, he came to the position of the midfielder.

The head coach of West Bromwich Albion suddenly stood up, shouted at the players on the field, and asked the team's left midfielder to retract, and stepped forward to limit Fernandinho, who had become a defensive midfielder.

This trick worked immediately. After Fernandinho was restricted, the number of Manchester City's attacks through his point decreased rapidly.

"Hehe, this is the so-called world famous coach?"

Seeing that his adjustments have achieved very obvious results, the head coach of West Bromwich Albion is proud and his self-confidence has also been greatly improved.

He has always been unconvinced about a so-called famous coach like Guardiola.

I feel that the other party is just a little more famous, not necessarily much better than myself!
After I beat Guardiola with the weak in this game, my name will be famous all over the world, and maybe I will be able to enjoy the addiction of a famous coach by then.

On the side of Manchester City's coaching bench, after seeing the opponent make adjustments and restrict Fernandinho, Guardiola was not worried but happy, and his posture on the coaching bench became more relaxed!

"That's it!"

He said to assistant coach Torrent.

As soon as Guardiola's voice fell, the situation on the field changed immediately.

In the 9th minute, when West Bromwich Albion's left midfielders moved in together to limit Fernandinho's forward position, Lin Quan also retreated from the opponent's half to his own half.

The Manchester City full-back who was about to pass the ball to Fernandinho immediately passed the ball to Lin Quan who retreated to catch the ball.

After the opponent's left midfielder retracts, there is a huge space on the wing.

And because Lin Quan retreated to his own half, this area is not within the defensive range of the opponent's full back.

Therefore, at the moment when Lin Quan received the ball, no one interfered within ten meters of him!
For a player of Lin Quan's level, leaving him with such a huge room for movement is a very fatal mistake!

West Bromwich Albion quickly paid for their blunder!

In the 11th minute of the first half, Lin Quan assisted Iheanacho to score a goal after passing several players on the wing, rewriting the score to 1:0.
The moment the goal was scored, Guardiola on the coach's bench still couldn't hold back, and rushed out of his seat to celebrate wildly!

This is his first game in charge of Manchester City. Due to the high degree of attention from the outside world, coupled with his risky changes and large-scale substitutions, Guardiola has been under tremendous psychological pressure.

Fortunately, my tactics worked!

Fortunately, Manchester City scored the first goal!
After scoring this goal, the game is much easier!

Thinking of this, Guardiola was determined.

The head coach of West Bromwich Albion next door was dumbfounded when he saw Manchester City's goal!

Why did the line of defense suddenly collapse?
He scratched his head in doubt, a little unable to understand how his team was defeated!

But in the stands, Faria felt a shock in his heart.

His previous doubts were solved in Manchester City's attack!
It turns out that the combination of these two tactics is Guardiola's real killer move?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help thinking in his heart:
If Chelsea met Manchester City and the opponent used this tactic, how would they limit the opponent?

After Fernandinho moved forward, Manchester City had 3 midfielders on the field.

To completely restrict these three defensive midfielders, it is absolutely not enough to rely on strikers.

Their midfield has to be involved.

However, there are still at least five players in the opponent's midfield that need to be marked. If one's own team invests too much force to limit the opponent's midfield, the team's defense will lose its sense of hierarchy, and the defense in the backcourt will completely become man-marking.

The line of defense will also be compressed to two!

What's more terrible is that there will be a vacuum zone about 20-30 meters wide between the two lines of defense.

As long as the opponent makes good use of this space, it only needs a forward threatening pass or a successful dribble to penetrate their defense and threaten their goal!
And there are no less than five players in the Manchester City team who can complete this deadly pass!

There are many players in the Manchester City team who can complete this kind of unreasonable breakthrough, especially the No. 10 on the field-Lin Quan!
This guy's one-on-one success rate can reach almost [-]%!

I haven't seen anyone who can successfully limit him in one-on-one defense!
Thinking of this, Faria couldn't help but start to sweat coldly on his forehead.

If he came to coach Chelsea, he felt that when he encountered Manchester City with this style of play, the winning rate would probably not be higher than 1%!
Fortunately, Chelsea's head coach is not himself!
This result reassured Faria a little.

However, can Jose limit Guardiola's tactics?
Thinking of this, Faria couldn't help but start to worry again.

……

On the field, Ishinacho, who scored the goal, saw the ball rolling into the opponent's goal, and ran wildly with excitement!

This is his first game for Manchester City, and this is his first goal in the first team!
He had imagined many situations in his mind, but he never imagined that his experience in the first team would be so smooth!
All this is due to the man on the sidelines!

So, after scoring the goal, Ishinacho rushed to the sidelines immediately and gave Guardiola a warm hug.

"Thank you, boss, it was a wonderful night, I will never forget today!"

Guardiola is also very relieved, he did not expect the opponent's first show to be so successful.

"You deserve it, enjoy the night, enjoy the feeling of running on the court!"

"Well, I will, just watch!"

After receiving Guardiola's encouragement, Ishinacho was let down and felt full of strength all over his body.

On the field, after Lin Quan and De Bruyne celebrated by high-fiving, they stood quietly in the middle circle and looked at the two people who were embracing and celebrating on the sidelines.

Ishinacho's speed is very fast, and his movement is relatively clever. Just now, the opponent shot the ball very calmly, which left a good impression on Lin Quan.

No wonder being called the prince of Manchester City, there is still something.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were pleasantly surprised to see the Manchester City teenager who had just turned 18 and scored on behalf of the team for the first time at home.

The youth training of your own team has finally produced results?
"What's this kid's name? The speed is so fast!"

"His name is Kleiki Ishinacho. He was promoted to U23 not long ago. I didn't expect to represent the first team so soon!"

"This level is not bad. I feel that if I train again, I can enter the rotation lineup!"

"Well, we don't have many people on the front line, and he still has a chance to play!"

"I have heard for a long time that Coach Guardiola is good at discovering and training young players, and he is also very willing to give young players a chance. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation!"

The fans of Manchester City were pleasantly surprised. When they saw Guardiola's formation, they were still very nervous.

But I didn't expect Guardiola to bring such a group of young players to play such an outstanding effect.

This made them all feel that the head coach hired the right person, and Guardiola is indeed the most suitable for Manchester City!
Some Manchester City fans can't help but savor the future:

"With Pep Guardiola's name, there will definitely be many young players coming to our Manchester City in the future. In this way, one day in the future, our Manchester City youth academy may be as famous as Barcelona's La Masia!"

……

After hugging and celebrating with Guardiola, Ishinacho did not forget to thank Lin Quan for his assist.

If Lin Quan hadn't selflessly passed the ball to him in the end instead of shooting himself, he would never have had the chance to shoot.

The game continued. After scoring the first goal, the morale of the Manchester City players was boosted, and then they launched a series of fierce attacks on their opponents.

On the other hand, on the opponent's side, the mentality of West Bromwich Albion's players has been greatly affected after losing the ball.

At the request of the head coach, they stepped up their marking and pressing of Lin Quan.

If it wasn't for Lin Quan passing several people on the wing just now, they would not have conceded the ball so easily.

Therefore, in the eyes of West Bromwich Albion players, as long as Lin Quan is restricted, Manchester City's offense can be effectively contained.

However, it turns out they were wrong!

Only 5 minutes had passed since the first goal. In the 16th minute of the first half, Manchester City scored again!
The one who scored the goal was De Bruyne, and the way of scoring was almost the same as the first goal!
The difference is that this time Manchester City's offense was launched from the left.

If the first conceded goal was just an accident, then there is no excuse for the second conceded goal.

In particular, this ball has almost nothing to do with Lin Quan. He restrained a large number of defensive players on the right and did not participate in the attack of this ball.

This made the head coach of West Bromwich Albion break into cold sweats and feel very panicked.

The opponent scored two goals with the same tactics, which almost killed the suspense of the game, but he still couldn't see the problem, let alone how to deal with the opponent's tactics.

He couldn't help but glanced at the coaching bench of Manchester City next door with some fear: Is this the strength of the world's famous coaches?
