Chinese players in Europe

Chapter 320 It's worth it!

But they didn't intend to give up the game, they just conceded when they fell behind, and that wasn't what expensive stars like them did.The reason why the first half of the attack was thunderous and rainy was entirely the instruction of the head coach Mancini. They believed that the head coach would definitely make adjustments during the intermission.The key to deciding the game must be in the second half!

Sure enough, as soon as Mancini walked into the locker room, he saw the eyes of his disciples full of fighting intent. He smiled in satisfaction and said straightly: "After the first half of the trial, we have almost understood the opponent's situation. They The strength is good, especially Wang Mo, the transfer target of the Premier League this summer. The offense is strong and the defense is weak, we can make more fuss about this aspect. I believe I don’t need to say more about how to do it, play more behind the ball, use strong offense to make them exhausted, and completely drag the game into our rhythm!”

Mancini really needless to say, he believes that these professional players under his command can understand what he means.It is a strong attack, occupying the absolute advantage of the court with the most violent attack!He believes that his team has this ability. His team has a lot of good offensive players. In terms of offensive power, Manchester City can definitely squeeze into the top three in the Premier League.Of course, more importantly, Manchester City's midfield is also very solid. Hargreaves and Barry are both excellent defensive players. With them sweeping back and forth in the backcourt, they can definitely build a solid and powerful barrier for the backline. .If you fight recklessly, it is absolutely impossible for Tottenham to be Manchester City's opponent!

The Manchester City players present nodded, indicating that they understood.Although they didn't play awkwardly in the first half, they were still a little uncomfortable. After all, they were the one behind.The head coach's arrangement made it clear that they should attack heartily, which made all the players excited, all gearing up, with anticipation in their eyes.

"Owen, your burden should be heavier. While assisting the team to guard the midfield, you must also keep a close eye on the opponent's No. [-]. As long as the opponent passes the midfield, I will mark him to death. I can't give him any If possible, it is best to make him unable to pass the ball comfortably!" Mancini thought for a while, and exhorted with a solemn expression.He is still a little worried, the opponent is the kind of player who has the ability to single out an entire team, although this kind of "miracle" can not appear anytime and anywhere, but who can be sure that the opponent will not be in this game What about "frenzy"?

For Mo Fei, Mancini is really full of fear. If he had only watched the opponent play football on TV before and felt that the opponent is a promising player, then now he is playing face-to-face. The horror is incomparable.To put it bluntly, this kind of person is a "rat shit" that disturbs a good pot of porridge, just like Ronaldo and Messi, who have the best personal abilities in today's football, they have the ability to decide the outcome of a game.Give them the slightest chance and they will pose a huge threat.Mancini did not dare to be careless and asked Hargreaves to guard the other side by any means.

Hargreaves nodded with the same serious expression.He had already experienced the strength of the opponent in the first half, not counting the high-speed man-ball pass, in the rest of the matchup, he didn't take advantage of it at all.Although his "eighteen postings on clothes" did slow down the opponent's breakthrough a lot, but the opponent's passing and receiving still caused a lot of trouble for the team.He also tried to go around and intercept, but the opponent's movements were too fast, and he could always dispose of the ball before the enemy had the opportunity.And his passing is not blind, but seems to have known the running position of his teammates, and the football can always go to the most reasonable place.

More importantly, Hargreaves found that he could not keep up with the opponent's footsteps.If we say who was the most physically exhausted player in the Manchester City team in the first half, it must be him.Could it be like a "flea" running all over the field, wandering around tirelessly, as his "attachment", Hargreaves can only follow closely.The consequence of this is that the other party is still full of energy and seems to have nowhere to vent, but he is out of breath after running a few steps.No way, he is over 30 years old. Although his experience and skills are getting more and more proficient, when it comes to physical strength and endurance, he can't catch up with a young and strong guy in his 20s.

Of course, Hargreaves will not admit defeat, he also has his own pride.After so many years in the Premier League, how could he be teased by a junior?He secretly made up his mind that he must defend the opponent submissively and do nothing, even if it is a foul or a card.

There was a relaxed atmosphere in Tottenham's locker room. Most of the players laughed and chatted together. Occasionally, a few players sitting in their seats just closed their eyes and rested.Everyone's emotions were very relaxed. Except for the first 10 minutes of the first half, which was more intense, the rest of the time can be described as Gujing Wubo.Although fierce physical collisions are inevitable in the midfield competition, they have long been accustomed to this way of playing, and it is not considered a pressure.

"Hey, guys, do you think that group of upstarts were fooled by our fast break? Why do they all look like they are coping with each other? Apart from playing fierce fighting games with us in the midfield, they simply don't want to make progress! " Lennon laughed and made fun of each other.In the first half, he played very comfortably. Being dexterous and quick, he could always receive Mo Fei's wonderful pass, and sneaked around in the opponent's defense. Although he didn't create any big threat, he still disturbed the opponent.

"They are nothing more than that! Football is not just about winning with more money and more stars!" Bell also interjected with a smile.

"Manchester City's strength is still quite strong. Several frontcourt players have outstanding personal abilities. We cannot underestimate them." Experienced Gallas reminded solemnly.Although the defense in the midfield was good in the first half and did not give the opponent too many opportunities, Tevez, Balotelli and others still used their outstanding personal abilities to cause a lot of trouble, and the defense was not monolithic.He is also confused about Manchester City's unusual move of not aggressively attacking, but he doesn't think the opponent will stop there. Anyway, the opponent will invest a lot of money every season. Is it floating?Burning money is not such a burning method!

"William is right. We can't take it lightly. A lead of one goal is not enough for us to win the game. If we can expand the score again, the initiative of the game will be completely in our hands." Murphy Nodding in agreement, he reminded his teammates not to underestimate the enemy. There is not a single team that can get a place in the European competition in the fiercely competitive Premier League.He had a vague premonition that Manchester City did not give up on the game, but bet on the second half, presumably the opponent will launch a fierce counterattack in the second half.

Hearing the captain's words, all the players let go of their playful attitude and lowered their heads to think about what the other party said.Mo Fei has already proved with his performance that he is capable of leading the team forward. Although the locker room is a place that values ​​status, Mo Fei gets along well with all his teammates. The new forces such as Lennon and Bell are completely based on him, so he In the locker room, there is a faint tendency of being a "big boss". Everyone has to pay attention to what he said.

As soon as Redknapp walked into the locker room, he saw a dignified look of a player bowing his head in thought.He froze for a moment, then smiled gratifiedly, then turned and left immediately.The purpose of his arrival was just to remind the players not to underestimate the enemy, but now it seems that his concerns have been resolved by Mo Fei.As for the tactics, he thinks there is no need to adjust, the team performed very well in the first half, just continue to play like this.

He was a little thankful for his decision to strongly recommend the introduction of Mo Fei. Although 3000 million is a lot, but an all-round talent who can not only improve the strength of the team, but also help the coach solve some problems, the business is not a loss.As a coach, he has such a good helper. I don't know how much he can save. The money is worth it!

The 15-minute break in midfield quickly passed, and players from both sides appeared on the court again.Both coaches have not made adjustments to the starting lineup, and they are both very confident in their respective lineups.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham imitated Manchester City at the beginning of the first half and launched a fast break in the same way.After Modric received Murphy's kick-off from the middle circle, he did not pass back. Instead, he took two steps and directly kicked a long pass to find Murphy who was rushing forward.Mo Fei caught the ball while running and turned around, seeing that there were no teammates around him to keep up. Before Hargreaves posted it, he took a long shot directly, and the football brushed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

This made Manchester City, who were eager to launch a fierce attack as soon as they entered the field, couldn't help but shuddered, and the flame in their hearts was also slightly hit.Hargreaves was determined. Seeing the other party behave like this made him determined to limit the other party's performance at all costs.

Seeing the football flying out of the bottom line, Mo Fei felt a little regretful. If the goal was scored, the opponent would have to attack, and Tottenham would be able to counterattack comfortably.Mo Fei smiled at his teammates, walked back slowly, and waved his hands to signal his teammates to pay attention to defense.He knows very well that the time period between the opening and the end of the game is the most likely to score goals, because this is the moment when the players are most relaxed, so he has to remind his teammates.

Looking at the Tottenham players waiting in full swing, Manchester City felt like they had nowhere to start.Their plan was to launch a fierce attack as soon as they came up, but they didn't expect that the other party directly gave them a blow.Moreover, Tottenham did not relax their defense because of the mediocrity of the first half, which made their offensive difficult to start.

However, Manchester City still resolutely implemented the coach's instructions, and goalkeeper Joe Hart threw the ball to Zabaleta.Zabaleta didn't let the ball stay under his feet too much. He knew very well that he was a defender and not a midfielder, so he passed the ball directly to Barry, and he organized the team's offense.

Barry caught the ball near midfield, and Lennon pushed it up immediately.However, Manchester City obviously sped up the tempo. They didn't want to get too entangled with the opponent in the midfield like they did in the first half.

Tang Ning and Barry from the wing made a two-for-one cooperation, and the ball returned to Barry's feet again.The latter hit the ball with a diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area. Balotelli leaned on Huddlestone and knocked the ball with his heel to Milner who had already run out of space on the left. The latter made a direct pass from the bottom , although Balotelli grabbed the first point, but under the interference of Dawson, his header was out of standard and was pushed high out of the baseline.
