Football: From becoming a god-level striker

"Manchester City really has a big problem in the midfield. Is it not suitable for this new formation? Or something else happened?"

"Sane, Sterling, including Jesus, these players have very good personal abilities, and they all have the ability to attack with the ball, but they seem to have no chemical reaction when they are matched together."

"Everyone fights on their own, it seems that no one will accept anyone, right?"

"Aguero Silva is injured, there is no veteran of Manchester City in the frontcourt, and Zhao is not there. These players may not accept anyone, and the bigger possibility is that they do not trust other teammates.

I think it is better to pass it on to others than to do it yourself.There is not a core player in the entire frontcourt, which often causes problems in their passing and receiving.And once a problem occurs, the impression that this kind of teammates are unreliable will increase again, and the idea of ​​​​doing it alone will be further expanded.

Manchester City urgently needs to solve this problem, otherwise their offense will have big problems.Relying on one person to single out a team, the only one Manchester City can do is still on the bench!I'm afraid these people can't do it. "

The live broadcast shot was shown to Zhao Gang on the bench, Zhao Gang looked on blankly, and Fernandinho kept gesticulating next to him.

Jesus is his compatriot younger brother, of course he has to blow the wind and ask Zhao Gang to pass more balls to Jesus.

Look at the boy Jesus, he is so energetic on the court!

Look at this running ability, look at this ability to hold the ball!

It's just that other than De Bruyne, these teammates in the frontcourt don't pass the ball to him.

Sane, a German kid who has just arrived, is too shameless, so he will do it alone!

Sane, who was originally a winger, became a full-back when he arrived at Manchester City. Now he is not used to staying in the midfield, and he is expected to control the rhythm. Guardiola's arrangement is indeed a bit difficult for others.

With a Zhao Gang, Guardiola wanted to train another one.

Looking at the chaos in the frontcourt now, Guardiola scratched his head, thinking too much.

Players like Zhao Gang are not bred, they are born.

Facing the magical 532 lineup of the Wolves, this idea of ​​single-handedly trying to solve the battle on their own is simply a dream.

Especially Wolves' young goalkeeper Pickford, the future England's national goal, combined with the five-back tactics, made it impossible for Manchester City's attacking group to break through the goal.

In half an hour, De Bruyne passed three pretty good through balls. Unfortunately, Jesus got lost directly among the Wolves defenders and didn't even finish the goal.

If this is Aguero, no matter how he can get in one.

Except for De Bruyne's wonderful pass, the rest of the midfielders had almost no outstanding performances.

After Sane took the ball, he did show quite good personal ability and was able to attack with the ball, but he was like Tottenham Ali in the previous game, rushing into the opponent's encirclement with the ball. He had a very good The opportunity can be given to his teammates, but he didn't even think about passing it, and he couldn't pass it.

Gabriel Jesus stood in front and kept running, watching Sane waste a very good pass opportunity, so he could only spread his hands, there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Jesus finally thought of Zhao Gang.

If Zhao Gang took the ball and broke through, he would have picked it up long ago.

Fortunately, Manchester City's defense is very stable. Kompany, who has returned from injury, is in a very good state. He keeps commanding the defense to run to fill positions. Manchester City's defense looks stronger than before. With a leader in command, the entire defense can The players become smoother, and no one will be short-circuited and confused.

Everyone can do their jobs.

This is the importance of the existence of the veteran captain of the defense, which allows the players to use their strength in one place, unite as one, and will not fight alone.

And the midfield is bad.

Silva was injured and Zhao Gang was a substitute. De Bruyne was more low-key and introverted than Zhao Gang. He just wanted to play well and didn't even think about commanding his teammates.

Now, he's even less likely to step up and tell his teammates what to do.

Of course, Kompany also saw the problems of his teammates in the frontcourt. There was a lack of tacit understanding among these teammates, and he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

There is an urgent need for someone who can calm the scene and let them flow smoothly.

The key point is that Kompany, the old captain, commanded the defensive position well. If he was asked to command the offense, the frontcourt was just a bit messy.

Kompany didn't dare to do such an overreaching thing.

"Guardiola urgently needs to stabilize the frontcourt. With his ability, he should be able to make these players obey orders, but once his tactics don't work, the seeds of doubt will be planted in the hearts of these players, and the situation will change. more ugly."

"Manchester City is playing like shit! These two rookies can't get along at all!"

"I didn't see it in the previous few games, but this time it was all revealed. These two people do have some abilities, but they don't have any sparks with their teammates at all!"

"There's no tacit understanding, just running around!"

"Maybe I haven't adapted to Guardiola's style of play, just give me some time!"

"It's because Zhao Gang was on the bench. If Zhao Gang was on the court, the situation would be much better."

"Zhao Gang is amazing, but one person can't make such a big change, right? Don't brag too much!!"

"It's not bragging. Manchester City lacks a backbone in the frontcourt. It is also possible to replace Silva."

"Yes, a core player is not only strong in himself, but more importantly, he can make his teammates stick together and know how to play.

Which of these midfielders is not the pride of heaven?Already a top player at such a young age!When they are put together, no one will be willing to make a wedding dress for others.

They all want to prove themselves!

A plate of loose sand kicked.

At this time, you can see the importance of leaders and cores! "

"That's right, look at how the Longguo team is doing. I thought those players would only lose. When Zhao just came on the field, these people would play football. I was taken aback for a while. I didn't notice them before. Then you can play football!"

Many fans watched Manchester City's first half of the game, and one of the most intuitive impressions is that their dominance is no longer there.

Wolves' back five completely disorientated them in midfield.

In the past, it was possible to find a gap through non-stop conduction, and then kill it with one blow.

Look at their cooperation in the frontcourt now. After a few mistakes, the players began to dribble and attack by themselves, and they were unwilling to pass the ball.

The result of this is that the ball is intercepted and counterattacked.

The level of tacit understanding between teammates is too low, and the balls passed often make mistakes, which makes all players no longer willing to trust their teammates.

"With this style of play, the second half was even more difficult."

"Not only did they not cooperate, but they were often intercepted. Wolves counterattacked more times than Manchester City. Who dared to think of this before?

If it weren't for Manchester City's solid back line, the Wolves' forward line would indeed be a little bit less interesting, and now Manchester City may be behind. "

"It's just that Zhao didn't play, these little bastards think they can do it! They kicked indiscriminately!"

"There is one aspect of being proud and arrogant, but it's normal to not trust your teammates. This pass is lost every time. How can this be reassuring? Why don't you do it yourself!"

"Guardiola has to change his lineup, otherwise there will be big troubles!"

"Melon bald can do the job. His temper will definitely not change. He has to prove that he is right and can control the entire team. I guess the midfielders are in front of the military training."

Fans who know Guardiola know it too well. At this time, Guardiola will not change his formation or make substitutions. After all, he is not behind!

What's the hurry?

In the locker room, Guardiola waved his hands and yelled loudly, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

What is this all about?

Do you think you can do it one by one?

It hasn't been a month since I came to Manchester City, and after playing a few games, I feel that I can be alone? ?

"If you can't find a chance, you have to pass the ball to someone who can make it!!

he! !He is the person who can create the most opportunities on the field! ! "Guardiola pointed to De Bruyne.

"Why do you dare to rush into the opponent's encirclement with the ball?? Why don't you pass it to the open teammate?

You don't trust your teammates because of the wrong pass and catch?

Is every turnover the receiver's fault?Why, why do you dare to hold the ball by yourself and be snatched away?

If you keep playing like this, I tell you, I'm going to put all of you on the bench, listen to me, I want you to obey my orders, trust your teammates, keep passing the ball, keep running bit!

If there is no chance, go to De Bruyne, teammates on the back line, or even the goalkeeper!

Don't let me rush into the opponent's encirclement with the ball alone!

All of you do not have this privilege!I only give you 45 minutes in the second half to prove that you still obey my coach's arrangement! "

Guardiola pinched his waist and looked at these players.

I won't make substitutions, I won't let Zhao play, I'll see how you play.

Another one who dares to make a very unreasonable choice, rushes into the crowd, will not play in the next game, and will sell you next year!

Silva, Zhao is not here, De Bruyne is the core of the attack in the midfield.

All need to know this.

Sane and Jesus, the two newcomers, don't seem to know.

The two old men, Sterling and Delph, also seemed to pretend not to know.

Now, Guardiola has identified the core players in the frontcourt, and everything must follow De Bruyne's command.

De Bruyne lowered his head, I can't.

I can't come.

I don't like doing anything else.

Silva and Aguero are capable of this.

Why don't you let Zhao Gang play, so that they will pass the ball immediately.

Guardiola will never replace Zhao Gang at this time, and De Bruyne's idea is impossible to realize.

At the beginning of the second half, the Wolves of course still had five backs.

This kind of bus is already difficult to play, and Manchester City's frontcourt is a bit scattered, so of course it is even more difficult.

Fortunately, these players, after being trained by Guardiola in the midfield, finally restrained themselves, and did not dare to mess around anymore.

There is no core in the frontcourt, and the idea that I am the king was directly killed by Guardiola.

"It can be clearly seen that Manchester City's midfield pass coordination has become more and more fluid. Manchester City players have reduced a lot of useless single-player.

This is a very good sign, and Guardiola should have given his own instructions.

However, without Gundogan, Silva, and Zhao's Manchester City midfielder, the control has actually been greatly reduced. It is still possible to face the Wolves. Facing the top teams, it will inevitably be stretched. "

Manchester City's young players in the frontcourt restrained their arrogance and temper, and began to share the ball, but the level of tacit understanding was indeed a lot worse.

Although the scene is under control, it is still a bit far away to score a goal.

Facing the Wolves' five backs, Jesus and Sterling still don't have much to do for the time being.

And De Bruyne began to share more organizational control tasks, so there will be much less chances of deadly long passes or through balls.

In short, Manchester City is now in control of the situation, but it is difficult to break the deadlock.

On the contrary, Kyle Walker kept bringing it up and began to cooperate with his teammates. His ability and golf quotient are extremely high, and he also has good speed and breakthrough ability.

Can play a considerable role on the wing.

It's a pity that I can't participate in the Champions League.

Guardiola is a little worried, not only because he cannot open the situation on the court, but also about the upcoming Champions League.

The lack of major generals, once they are eliminated by Monaco, it will really become a big joke.

On the pitch, there was little the Wolves could do.

They had a few chances in the first half, but during the counterattack, they were either intercepted, did not have a good counter point, or forced a peripheral shot and hit an anti-aircraft gun.

In the second half, Manchester City players reduced their turnovers and strengthened their midfield control, and the Wolves had no choice.

But in this case, they are close to their goal in this game.

A point at the Etihad is a success.

Bang!

After receiving a pass from De Bruyne, Sane suddenly shot in the middle!

The ball was blocked by Pickford again.

Not only is the defender dense in defense, but the goalkeeper also performed extremely well in this game.

Sane shook his head, a little frustrated.

There was a burst of regret from the Etihad Stand.

This is the game, the best chance.

Sane's offensive ability is still very strong.

"Manchester City's offense did go wrong in this game. Jesus, who had been performing well before, was lost in this game."

"Well, Jesus needs space, but in this game, he was pushed too tightly by the Wolves defenders. He played very well before because of Zhao's existence. Zhao can not only help him open up space, but more importantly The most important thing is that Zhao can get the ball to Jesus' feet while pulling out space.

Now Manchester City's Sane has the ability to tear up the defense, but he can't see Jesus' position and can't pass the ball. De Bruyne can pass a very threatening ball, but he can't defend Jesus The defender pulled away.

So it's normal that Jesus doesn't have room to play. "

"So some people say that Jesus without Zhao is basically a waste. It seems like a bad word to sow discord, but it seems to be a fact?"

"Jesus has not fully adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League. Now he still needs the help of his teammates very much. It is a bit too much to say that he is a waste, but for the time being, he is indeed unable to play the leading role alone."

Jesus played very impatiently. Compared with the defenders in the Brazilian Premier League, the defenders in the Premier League are much stronger in terms of technique and body.

He can get anything he wants in Brazil, and he can even break through from his own half to the opponent's penalty area with the ball to score.

But in the Premier League, the two defenders can't catch the ball, and it is difficult to hit the goal smoothly after receiving the ball.

Before the game, he thought that he must prove his strength, and slapped those media who mocked him in the face.

It turns out that there is a huge gap between reality and imagination.

Wolves are a mid-tier team with such an impenetrable defense, how can it be okay to face a strong team?

The more impatient he is, the more mistakes he will make. De Bruyne finally found him with another pass, but he kicked it away with a shovel! !

Even Sterling, who was at the back point, looked at this scene with his head in disbelief.

Is this the successor of happy football?

With his ability, this kind of grabbing point can be scored, but unfortunately, he had some psychological problems, which caused his movements to deform, and he directly cleared the ball!

Fernandinho held his head and shook his head vigorously.

He bragged with Zhao Gang on the bench for a long time, boasting that his little brother was first-rate in grabbing points, and he could safely pass the ball to cooperate. In the end, he put on such a good show.

Guardiola has been standing on the sidelines, yelling at the players on the field, passing the ball, and running.

In the Etihad stands, some fans have already started to riot.

Is it so hard to play a Wolves team?

Guardiola can work, but can't play like this?

I didn't think about winning at all. At this time, the team didn't score a goal, why don't you change your style of play quickly?

The game has reached 10 minutes, and some fans in the stands finally couldn't stand it anymore.

Throughout the South Stand, the fans had already stood up, waving and shouting Zhao Gang's name.

They hope that Zhao Gang can play, not only because they want to see the performance on the court, but more importantly, they want to see the team win!

Guardiola was hesitating at first, but when he heard the shouts of these fans, he gave up his thoughts directly.

He couldn't accept being coerced by fans to make a decision.

He is the head coach of this team, he arranges all the tactics, he can let whoever he wants to play, no one can put pressure on him to change his decision.

These fans should also understand his attitude. If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

In the end, who does Manchester City's personnel arrangements listen to?

Do you listen to the fans?

Guardiola was cruel, and a single substitution was useless.

Since he doesn't intend to replace Zhao Gang, there's no need to substitute someone else at this time to confront the fans.

In the 807th minute of the game, Manchester City continued to look for opportunities, but Jesus kept running, and finally turned and ran out of position!

The Wolves' defender also suffered from inattention. Jesus started the first step, but no one followed.

Then, the defenders of the Wolves finally reacted and saw the ball at De Bruyne's feet. If it was passed, they would face the goalkeeper single-handedly!

In an instant, several defenders rushed towards Jesus!

They couldn't bear it, and lost the ball in the last few minutes of the game, so this move, a little flustered, the formation was pulled apart, and Sterling at the back had an excellent opportunity!

Between the lightning and the flint, De Bruyne hit the football with his foot. The ball did not go to the middle, but flew to the back point.

Sterling, a happy boy, is a bit like Balotelli. They are on the court, and their heads are empty from time to time.

There is a situation of hesitation, and once you hesitate, you will be happy.

This time, Sterling looked at the flying ball, didn't have time to hesitate, and shot directly!

boom!

The football hit the goal, Pickford had time to react, but it was too late to save the ball!

Sterling slid and knelt out of the bottom line crazily.

In the league, he hadn't scored in several rounds, this time, he won the game!

Guardiola kept clenched his fists, bent over and stared at the attack.

Seeing this goal, Guardiola jumped up excitedly.

This game is really too difficult.

The scene was extremely ugly.

Once he fails to win the game, he will be under tremendous pressure from public opinion.

Especially with so many fans shouting for him to make a substitution, he is still stubborn.

If he hadn't scored and won the game, one can imagine how many people would stand up and criticize his tactics.

Of all the people in Manchester City, his pressure is the greatest.

The Wolves players were lying in the penalty area with helplessness on their faces.

It was only the last few minutes, but he didn't hold on.

This was a huge blow to them.

Manchester City's goal released the pressure of all players. After attacking for so long, they couldn't score a goal.

This kind of performance, not only the coaches, but also the fans will attack them frantically.

Without Zhao Gang, they really wouldn't know how to play football.

Now, all the pressure, with this goal, disappeared.

Being able to win the game is the best proof!

Gabriel Jesus wasted an opportunity in the first and second halves. This game made him realize his own strength. At least for now, it is difficult to single out the entire defense in the Premier League like in Brazil.

It also needs enough time to grow and settle.

Guardiola was interviewed after the game and was naturally asked about Zhao Gang.

Why didn't Zhao Gang play when the game was anxious.

Of course, Guardiola can't say that if he plays Zhao Gang instead, he will be kidnapped by the fans, and he doesn't like this feeling very much.

"I need Zhao to be at his best for the next game, which is probably our most important game so far this season, in my opinion, even more important than the two group games against Real Madrid. .

I need a Zhao whose condition is adjusted to the best. "

Guardiola's rhetoric was mercilessly exposed by some media.

"Guardiola is stubborn and thinks Manchester City can win without Zhao.

The result is that they did win, which proves that he was right and that Manchester City can continue to win and win games without Zhao.

Manchester City, as long as they have him is enough! "

"Guardiola proved himself once again, proving that he is the most important part of this team, without Aguero, without Silva, without Gundogan, or without Zhao.

As long as there is him, Manchester City can be invincible! "

And some of these media are to attract attention, and some are completely instructed by some people to make these remarks.

The purpose, of course, is to affect Zhao Gang's mentality and create some gaps between Zhao Gang and Guardiola.

Even if their master and apprentice are still in the sweet period, as long as this kind of report continues, it will definitely cause some ripples in Zhao Gang's heart.

In the end, the embankment of a thousand miles is likely to collapse in an ant nest.

Guardiola's extremely serious and stubborn character, even if it is for Zhao Gang's consideration in the formation of troops, it is very likely that there will be misunderstandings and some conflicts with Zhao Gang.

At the beginning, Ronaldo and Ferguson could break up, and of course Zhao Gang and Guardiola may have problems.
