Chapter 139 Manchester City's physical problems

Accompanied by this goal, the camera swept to the two coaches' benches at the right time.

Martin O'Neill, on the other hand, looked annoyed. His well-designed tactics hadn't passed any tests, and they broke at the first charge.

Manchester City didn't even make an effort, they just moved around casually.As a result, the "divine tactics" he designed turned out to be a curse that bound his defense.

Made wedding clothes for Manchester City...

On the other side, Duncan nodded, only applauded symbolically, and then turned his head to the side: "Actually, his tactic is very good. It's a pity that he met me."

Sitting next to Duncan was Jim Cassell.

"Are you bragging about O'Neal, or are you bragging about yourself?" Jim Cassell rolled his eyes.

"Haha, both!" Duncan laughed.

The goal this time is actually the best embodiment of the power of the five-element formation.With the five-element formation, even if there is no space, Manchester City players will use their running positions to create a space.

This is a process of actively creating opportunities, rather than the result of passively running mechanically based on the opponent's position.

After 1:1, the Aston Villa players couldn't help but start to doubt.

It's not like Martin O'Neill hasn't lost the ball with tactics like this.

There is no perfect tactics, the execution of the players, the strength of the opponent, may be the reason for the loss of the ball.

Losing the ball is not terrible, what is terrible is that it is so easy to lose the ball.

This is like two people fighting for wealth, one person can easily take out a piece of Qing Dynasty enamel, but the other person, the ordinary teacups for drinking tea at home are all authentic blue and white porcelain.

It's one thing to distinguish between superior and inferior, but the gap between superior and inferior seems too terrifying.

Aston Villa's famous tactics of defeating powerful enemies were defeated by Manchester City with one attack and a few people's easy and happy running positions. The impact it brought to their hearts was unparalleled.

What they thought was the most solid shield was smashed to pieces by Manchester City. This is simply destroying their worldview...

This is a heavy psychological blow to the Aston Villa players.

So in defense, the Aston Villa players panicked, as long as there was a slight mistake, everyone else would behave very nervously.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City had another great opportunity.

Martin Petrov suddenly cut inside, throwing off the full-back who was marking him, and the centre-back rushed to cover him.

But Aston Villa's defensive midfielder was afraid that the central defender would also be passed, so he ran over and planned to defend with two people.

Coupled with the full-back behind Martin Petrov, three defensive players gathered around him at once.

The other positions are naturally vacant.

Among the crowd, although Martin Petrov moved at high speed, it couldn't stop him from constantly observing his teammates and his running position.

Before Aston Villa's encirclement closed, Martin Petrov suddenly slipped his feet and the football flew over the waist of the oncoming player and flew towards the penalty area line.

And at the same time, Samaras was activated, and on the sixteen-yard line, he received the football.

Without waiting for Aston Villa's goalkeeper to react, Samaras didn't stop the ball and directly paddled his left foot.

The football flew over the opponent's goalkeeper and crashed into the far net.

"gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

2:1! Manchester City overtook the score.

"This is the best Manchester City, this is the strongest Manchester City! Before the game, people thought it was a battle between dragons and tigers, but judging from the progress of the game, it is not clear that Aston Villa has the ability to be the opponent of Manchester City. Manchester City easily expressed their dominance of the game with two goals."

"Martin O'Neill went around for a long time, but in fact they still lost to their problem at the beginning of the season-the lack of a strong defensive midfielder. But fortunately, the addition of Button gave Martin O'Neill confidence. I believe that with Button Now, this Aston Villa team will really impress!"

In the subsequent games, Martin O'Neill knew that his situation was over, so he had no choice but to sit on the bench, and thus entered the "watching mode".Because the confidence of the players has been completely crushed, there is no need to make any decisions at this time.

Before the end of the game, Samaras received a cross from Trabelsi and scored a goal with a header, making the final score 3:1!

Manchester City finally told the world of their return with an unceremonious victory at Villa Park.

"Well, I lost again." Shaking hands after the game, Martin O'Neill smiled helplessly.

"Actually, you have improved." Duncan said sincerely, "Compared with last time, you scored one more goal."

"Are you praising me?" Martin O'Neill looked black.

The post-match press conference that followed was naturally amicable.

Martin O'Neill is not a particularly high-spirited coach. He is an opponent on the court and a friend off the court. He has no special grudge against Duncan.

If you lose, you will win again next time, right?

As for talking harshly... besides making reporters more excited, what else can that thing do?

At least Martin O'Neill doesn't know.

After the game, Manchester City returned to Manchester City non-stop.After only one day of rest, the whole team assembled again to prepare for the next round of the league.

In this round of the league, Manchester City's opponent is Blackburn.Blackburn's style of play is fierce and they are a tough division in the north of England.The team also paid more attention to quality than quantity in the transfer market this summer, and only introduced Bayern Munich's Paraguay striker Santa Cruz.

Blackburn performed well last season and qualified for the Toto Cup.Relying on the team's good performance in the Intertoto Cup in the summer, the team also successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup knockout round.

Blackburn, nicknamed "Violent Ben", their tough play is the magic weapon for winning.

Unlike Blackburn, a team with a strong English style, Manchester City has completely reborn. The current style of play pays attention to coordination. Watching Manchester City's games, you can often appreciate the smooth and smooth scenes.

Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, this game is a direct confrontation between "technical flow" and "physical flow".

Although in this confrontation, the strength is somewhat disparate.

In this game, what is expected is that Manchester City finally won.

Unexpectedly, the intensity of the competition far exceeded everyone's imagination.

When technical flow meets physical flow, the result will definitely become a hand-to-hand combat.

This is not only a physical showdown, but also a showdown of physical strength!

Compared with the body, Manchester City is not inferior. With strong players like Samaras and Shevchenko, Manchester City is not inferior.

But compared to physical strength, Manchester City was defeated.

Because of the five-element formation, the five players in Manchester City's frontcourt had to run around at any time.

While this kind of running brings a lot of opportunities, it also intensifies the consumption of players' physical energy.

In the battle with Blackburn, four people from Manchester City cramp and fell to the ground.

At the end of the game, after three substitutions were used up, Manchester City could only fight with 10 players.

This game also inspired other teams.

To beat Manchester City, is it possible to make a fuss about Manchester City's physical problems?
