Coaching career started as a college team coach

Guardiola frowned. The game had entered the 40th minute. He paced in the technical area in a somewhat irritable manner.

Arteta looked at Guardiola's back with some concern. He walked up to him and wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. He raised his head and confirmed the number on the scoreboard at the Etihad Stadium again.

41:23, MANCHESTER CITY 1:1 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Yes, 1-1. At the end of the first half at the Etihad Stadium, the score between Wolves and Manchester City was still an astonishing 1-1.

"To be honest, sometimes the game is like this." Guardiola did not turn around. He knew that Arteta was behind him diagonally, and he believed that Arteta could hear him.

Arteta did not respond. He was still inexperienced. Now, he was just a little uneasy about what happened on the court.

"Our ball was contained, this is the first time. I didn't expect Wolves to be so bold." Guardiola shook his head and looked at Wei Le, who was standing upright in a suit in the Wolves' technical area not far away.

When Stones' header hit the crossbar of the Wolves' goal in the 4th minute of the game, everyone thought it would be a game without any surprises.

Just like the games Manchester City played after the start of this season, the opponent pretended to resist, and then Manchester City scored the first goal, and the opponent surrendered, and then Manchester City would score the second, third...

However, the team that scored the first goal to rewrite the score was Wolves.

In the 12th minute of the game, Otamendi controlled the ball at the center back position. He was not too anxious, but after confirming that the ball was not too far away from him, he raised his head and began to look for players in other positions and good passing options.

Then, when he looked to the right, he saw the Wolves striker in a black away jersey running towards him at a fast speed. Behind him, Stones was no longer a viable passing option.

He looked at the midfield, and there was a shadow next to Fernandinho, and a winger on the left was besieging him.

Otamendi was shocked. Why did they dare to press me? His chance was only a moment, and if he didn't make a choice quickly, he would make a big mistake!

He gritted his teeth. At this time, it was always okay to kick the ball.

So, he didn't care who was catching the ball in the frontcourt, and he kicked it forward.

"Mine!" Dendoncker jumped high, like a corner kick, and threw the ball horizontally to Alphonso Davies on the left with a graceful head shake.

De Bruyne faced Alphonso Davies, and the black guy in front of him seemed to look at him, which made him a little uneasy, so he slowed down, and while he slowed down and moved clumsily, the sturdy Alphonso Davies in front of him started!

Alphonso Davies used the instep of his right foot to shovel the bottom edge of the ball, and directly lifted the ball up to a very small height. The football just flew over De Bruyne's leg that was stretched out to intercept, and Alphonso Davies followed closely behind!

Alphonso Davies did not rush forward. While dribbling forward, he was looking for flaws in the opponent's defense.

Manchester City's overall formation was not stable. In the ball-passing phase, their offensive position was relatively aggressive, and the four frontcourt players were almost on the same level as the center forward Jesus.

And passing De Bruyne meant that Manchester City's first line of defense was broken!

Alphonso Davies realized that if he didn't break through now, when would he?

This was an opportunity that was snatched away, and when Alphonso Davies got the ball, the Wolves players were all excited. Now was their time to counterattack.

Alphonso Davies rushed diagonally towards the opponent's goal. When he just crossed the midfield line, he could feel that De Bruyne was still chasing back. There was Kyle Walker in front of him, and Fernandinho, who was in front of him, was the only defensive midfielder of Manchester City!

Alphonso Davies used the outside of his foot to sweep the ball to the middle, and Trossard, who was retreating to receive the ball, just bypassed the difficult Kyle Walker and faced Fernandinho!

The captain of Manchester City called David Silva to double-team with him. They had made preparations before the game, and they knew that Trossard would often choose to dribble the ball himself when facing multiple double-teams.

This gave the two of them a chance to "close the door".

But Trossard chose to pass the ball! He passed the ball between the two people! Fernandinho stretched out a foot to block the ball, butThe ball was very fast, still bouncing and rolling behind Fernandinho.

Fernandinho turned around in a hurry, but only saw De Paul's back. He poked the ball away first, and Van der Beck received the expected pass in an unexpected way.

When the ball came to Van der Beck, everything became clear.

Because the Wolves players completely penetrated Manchester City's midfield defense from left to right! Sterling was still chasing back, but he couldn't help. In front of Van der Beck, there was only Manchester City's defense line!

He brought the ball forward, facing Manchester City's full-back Mendy, who was rushing towards him, trying to force him back, forcing him to pass to the midfield or pass back. In any case, as long as it can be delayed until Sterling comes back!

But what Van der Beck wants is Mendy's rob!

He just caught this space and stuffed the ball to the left and back of Mendy, the right side of the Wolves, and Doherty inserted here! Not attacking often does not mean that there is no offensive ability! In an instant, with Jota on the edge of the penalty area, Wolves have formed a numerical advantage over Manchester City's defense.

"Don't pass it!"

Seeing that Doherty was a little overwhelmed, Van der Beck shouted hurriedly. Doherty dunked the ball back at the last moment of his leg swing, and then passed the ball back to Van der Beck.

Then, he ran behind Mendy! He knew what Van der Beck was going to do.

Van der Beck did not hesitate to pass the ball again without stopping.

The ball just rolled over from Mendy's left, and Doherty now got this exquisite through ball in the penalty area!

Otamendi has already rushed over. Doherty now has only one sentence in his mind, which is what Wei Le has emphasized many times - "Otamendi is a right-footed player!"

"Doherty! Breaking into the penalty area, a wonderful 2-on-1 cooperation. Doherty now faces Otamendi and he doesn't have many choices. Will he choose an inverted triangle or..."

"No! He pushed the ball to the outside, that is, in the direction of the baseline, and Otamendi stood there unable to move?!"

"Doherty, getting closer and closer to the goal, should he choose a small angle shot or..."

"It's a cross!"

Jota squeezed Fernandinho away and struggled to pull Stones away with both hands. The football was close at hand, and the goal was one step away. Goalkeeper Ederson had already attacked, and Jota...

"Clip shot! Passed Ederson! The ball went in!!!!"

"Jota!!!!!! Diogo Jota!!!!!!!!! Wolves actually took the lead at Etihad! The person who scored the goal was Diogo Jota!!!"
