Step by Step to Win

When the football flew into the net, Gao Shunyao, who was running towards the side of the stadium, was immediately surrounded by his teammates. On the edge of the stadium, a small number of Wolfsburg fans burst into huge cheers at this moment. Their celebration made Manchester City's home fans all feel shameless.

A 30-meter long shot scored, Gao Shunyao staged the most beautiful attack on Manchester City's home court. Joe Hart, the proud goalkeeper of Manchester City, once again became the background board in front of the opponent's long shot. Since the start of the game, Manchester City fans have always been full of confidence in their team, but a counterattack by the other side cost Manchester City such a heavy price, which made the hearts of the fans seem to have been shot from a long distance. Hit hard, and it hurts badly for a while.

Unexpectedly, his team turned out to be the first to lose the ball. In the Champions League, Manchester City's usual weakness and embarrassment, in this Champions League, once again demonstrated vividly. Originally, watching their team dominate the entire first half, Manchester City fans thought their team could make some breakthroughs in this game, but obviously, the game once again disappointed them.

In the first half of the game, Wolfsburg was still the first to break through the gate. Manchester City still played in a mess in this half. They have never been a strong team in the Champions League, and they still have not played in the Champions League. Facing Wolfsburg is already the best sign they can draw, but they still play like this. Manchester City is also full of disappointment for their team.

Falling behind at home and being counterattacked is really depressing. The only thing that makes people happy is that although Wolfsburg has scored a goal, but fortunately, after the goal, the half-time break has also arrived, which gives Manchester City a chance to get rid of it. Their players don't have to start the game immediately with this too dull game, but can adjust a little, which is the best news for Manchester City.

Take a short break. It is not impossible to turn over after adjustment. Back then, Liverpool were three behind and all made a comeback, and Manchester City was only one behind. What's impossible?

In this regard, Manchester City fans can only comfort themselves so. Just go up and down Wolfsburg. The views are very different. With the arrival of the midfield, the players of Wolfsburg have been talking and laughing. They don't think that the intermission can make Manchester City completely reborn.

In a football match, a team that has been strengthened after halftime adjustments. Not without. But in the eyes of Wolfsburg, such a thing, I am afraid that it is not so easy to happen with Manchester City. If you want to rely on halftime adjustments to enhance, in addition to tactical ability, a very important thing is that the team needs to be accountable to players who do not perform well in order to make adjustments in the midfield. The adjustment of the midfield requires the accusation of players who did not perform well in the first half. This is for Manchester City now. It seems a bit difficult.

Now Manchester City are all big-name stars. Who will admit that they are not playing well enough for the players they bought for a lot of money? There is no way for such a team to be held accountable. How can it be strengthened through midfield adjustments?

If it is so easy to adjust and strengthen, why has Manchester City played so hard even in the group stage in the past few years?

In Wolfsburg's view, it is impossible for Manchester City to improve through adjustments. However, the players of Wolfsburg were quite surprised. After the start of the second half, Manchester City's performance did not immediately collapse as they thought. Instead, on the court. Compared to the first half, the Manchester City players seemed to play much better.

He had the advantage in halftime, but he did not break through the opponent's door. Instead, because he was so proud of himself, the Wolfsburg attack easily made Manchester City pay the price, Manchester City up and down. It was like being poured with cold water when he was most proud of it. After the start of the second half, the emotions that were originally a little arrogant were no longer so arrogant.

Compared to the first half, after the second half, the Manchester City players were obviously more careful when playing on the court. After the game started, although they were still in control of the rhythm, they were not as crazy as they were in the first half. Compared to crazy offense, after halftime, Manchester City players seem to want to use secure control to change the situation on the court and allow their team to regain the rhythm.

This choice can be said to be very correct: Although 0-1 behind, Manchester City is still the dominant team on the field at this time. Compared with Wolfsburg, they still have a top lineup, stronger strength, and irreplaceable home court advantage. In the half-time just now, they have completely proved that as long as they need themselves, they can completely play against Wolfsburg. When it comes to strength, they have the upper hand, which cannot be changed easily.

The failure of the first half, in the final analysis, was because their own players lost peace on the court. Constantly speeding up the tempo, they wanted to fully control the game and they were taken advantage of by Wolfsburg, but they fought back. After reflecting on their own problems, instead of conducting crazy offensives, they chose to stabilize in the midfield and then start offensive. After Manchester City’s offensive may be slightly weakened, but their technical superiority and control ability are all They have played well, and the situation on the field is better controlled by them. Although the offense has been weakened, their control is more stable, and the Wolfsburg gradually has no opportunities to take advantage of.

Wolfsburg’s assessment of the situation is obviously still a little optimistic: Manchester City is easy to make some mistakes in the game, and the big-name stars are unwilling to be scolded or criticized, but it is undeniable that the stars are very good. And with a lot of experience, he can make adjustments and changes. If Manchester City lacks a good coach and fails to give them the correct guidance, perhaps in the second half, they will indeed lose their advantage and go to complete destruction. But obviously, Manchester City’s coach is still quite good and they did it in time. The adjustment did not admit defeat.

It seems that victory is still not so easy to come by.

Moreover, compared to the first half, Manchester City's tactics have obviously also been adjusted in the midfield. Compared to the first half, the rhythm of their offense has changed a lot, and for a while, Wolfsburg couldn't catch their changes.

The biggest change is the change in midfield. On the court, Yaya Toure no longer chose to move forward indiscriminately. After the start of the second half, he chose to pass the ball more to support his teammates' offense. Perhaps it was because he realized that he was the most important factor in the team's mistakes in the first half. After the second half, he was a lot more honest. On the court, several times to the foot, he directly chose the transition instead of making the impact of the home court. .

In contrast, Fernandinho is a lot more active. On the court, he runs several times, trying to make a bigger impact on the situation. In the first half of the game, because of Yaya Toure's activity, he basically didn't show up, but in the second half, he began to show his strength.

As one of Manchester City's double midfielders, like Yaya Toure, Fernandinho is also the midfielder that Manchester City has paid a lot to introduce. This player is one of the Brazilian national team's international players, and his strength is also quite good. Although in the first half, he did not play a particularly good role in defending Turan, but it was more of a tactical problem. His pace of handling the ball was slow, and the rhythm of the first half was not suitable for him. In addition, he did not particularly like to do dirty work, so his performance in the first half can only be said to be average. However, after the start of the second half, Yaya Toure took the initiative to retreat due to his own mistakes, the team's rhythm has also stabilized, and his strength has also been better staged.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City began to attack from him. Compared to Yaya Toure's impatience, he did play more securely and connected the whole team together, making Manchester City's chances no less than in the first half.

His strength may not be stronger than that of Yatoure, but his mentality is better, which makes him play even better.

Soon after the opening, he almost made a goal. After one possession of the ball forward, he cooperated with Silva and keenly realized that Navas ran out of the open space~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He threw the ball through and Navas took it. When the ball was reached, Rodriguez was thrown away at an accelerated pace, and he rushed directly to the bottom line, making a pass and kicking the ball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Dzeko won again in the confrontation with Kayar. He jumped up and a header pushed the ball towards the goal. The football was higher by a millimetre, knocked on the crossbar, and did not form a goal, but even so, Manchester City still surprised Wolfsburg with an attack.

After losing the ball, Manchester City's defense improved, and the offense did not weaken too much. Compared to the first half, they became stronger and more difficult to deal with.

The opponent's strength was already dominant, and now the mentality is getting better, then the only advantage left by Wolfsburg is that they are now 1-0 ahead of the score. However, a 1-0 lead is, after all, the most unreliable lead on the football field. How long can they maintain such an advantage?

If it is facing some underdogs in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg dare to say that they are not afraid of anything at all. But playing in the Champions League now is another matter. Since Manchester City can make changes in such a short time after the start of the second half, can they also make new arrangements in a short time to allow their team to score goals? Who would dare to assert such a thing? (To be continued.)
