Chapter 546: You can't afford it!

Yang Huan said that Mancini's tactics are too mechanical and lack resilience. This is really right.
After opening the scoring in Southampton, the Saints continued their fierce attack on Manchester City in accordance with Bielsa's instructions and arrangements.
The focus is still on the two sides.
Manchester City's tactics and player positions seem to be very flexible, but in fact it is easy to expose the wing.
Therefore, with the Saints taking advantage of it, Gareth Bale and Neymar could easily get one-on-one opportunities on the wing.
For the Saints and Devil's Wings, one-on-one often means that the opponent is overwhelmed.
No, less than five minutes have passed since the last goal. Modric passed behind Maicon diagonally in the middle, Neymar caught the ball and faced Zabaleta, one-on-one, the Brazilian star made a continuous fake move and passed. After Sabaleta, he made a low pass in the middle.
Vidal inserted afterwards and shot with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area, breaking Manchester City's goal again, two to zero!
This goal once again caused Mubarak to slap his forehead, and he felt very heartbroken.
But Southampton did not seem to intend to stop there, but continued to bombard.
It was on the left again, and Neymar one-on-one, after forcibly breaking through Zabaleta, the ball passed.
Ibrahimović scored with a header, Joe Hart made a flying save, and the ball fell into the penalty area. Gareth Bale rushed in and succeeded in picking up the empty goal. The goal was three to zero!
The game lasted only 25 minutes, and Southampton had already scored three goals!
This immediately made all the Saints fans!
What is even more shocking is that in the first 25 minutes, or even 30 minutes, Manchester City completed the first shot of the game, and it was an unthreatening shot.
"My God, isn't the gap so big, right?"
Mubarak's expression looked like he was about to cry.
The match between second and third place in the league standings turned out to be a one-sided three to zero within 30 minutes.
Isn't this the rhythm of a big score?
But just when everyone was looking forward to the continued bombing of Southampton, Mancini made adjustments.
From the original three-back, the change back to the four-back.
Although it was still unstable and was pressured by Southampton, at least the defensive weakness was not so obvious.
But Mancini seemed to think it was not enough. He couldn't wait for the intermission and directly replaced the sad Zabaleta with Nasri.
This Argentine full-back was almost sifted by Neymar throughout the first half!
The newly replaced Nasri focused on strengthening the midfielder's ability to take the ball, and Stromman and Yaya Toure formed a double midfielder.
This allowed Manchester City to steadily spend the last few minutes of the first half.
In the second half, after Manchester City adjusted the midfield, the situation improved.
But Southampton steadily held the three in his hand and started to play more patiently. The three lines were kept tighter. There was a way for Manchester City to attack and he was waiting for an opportunity to fight back.
This makes Mancini feel depressed, because they simply don't have the courage to attack!
The game can only continue to kill time like this.
Although Mannich once tried to fight back through substitutions, Southampton's defense is not bad, especially Matic in the midfielder position, which makes everyone very at ease.
Seeing the fierce match between Manchester City and Southampton on the court, but still failed to open the situation, and when the score was still three to zero, Mubarak on the chairman stand shook his head and sighed.
"If we lose this game, I'm afraid we will have finished playing this season too!"
Although it is far from Manchester United's points gap, Manchester City has always occupied second place in the Premier League since the first day of the season.
But now, this away game with a zero to three loss to Southampton, not only allowed the Saints to complete a counterattack on the standings, but also completely destroyed Manchester City's morale.
In just 25 minutes, losing three goals in a row, I really don't know if it should be said that Manchester City's defense is too bad, or Southampton's attacking power is too strong.
Yang Huan sat next to Mubarak. After hearing his sigh, he shook his head and smiled, "Do you know why?"
Mubarak looked at Yang Huan, as if saying please advise.
"You have accumulated too many mid-range players. David Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Milner and others all tend to mid-range. Your tactical breadth mainly depends on the full-backs, such as Kolarov, Maicon, Clichy and Sabaletta."
To some extent, Mancini put Kolarov and Maicon forward in this game, also out of the psychology of ensuring the side attack and creating tactical breadth.
"But you have to be clear that a full-back is always a full-back. Maicon is already old, and one day is not as good as one day. He has no way to control the entire wing by himself as he did at his peak, and Kolarov is the same."
Yang Huan's remarks were very candid, and it can be said that they hit the nail on the head.
"The wide range of offensive players is severely lacking, but the center is very bloated. David Silva and Nasri have a serious overlap, plus Aguero, and Yaya Toure, who is passionate about attacking afterwards, you Manchester City Almost the entire middle road in China is overcrowded, and the allocation of resources is seriously unreasonable!"
"There is also a midfielder. Yaya Toure is not willing to be a midfielder at all. Stroman has both offensive and defensive capabilities, but he has never been a top midfielder. This makes Manchester City's midfielder very weak in the defense!"
Thinking of this, Yang Huan wanted to say that you are missing a Matic.
But on second thought, hey, Matic is a player that Bielsa attaches great importance to. With him, Southampton has a stable plan b, and the midfield rotation is much easier.
If you talk too much, Mubarak's heart will be touched. If the money is enough, Southampton will not suffer a loss of 20-30 million pounds. But these years, where can I find someone like Matic? Robust, plug-and-play powerful midfielder?
Is it possible to bring Harvey Martinez back to midfield?
But look at the court, the Spaniard is on the defensive line, commanding Ruoding in command style, how can he be willing to let him return to midfield?
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yang Huan remained silent.
Mubarak was also silent.
Yang Huan’s remarks are indeed very frank. It can be said to be a heart-to-heart, just barely pointing at their noses and cursing, you guys who are ball-blind only know how to pile up stars, you don’t even know how. Build a team reasonably.
In the case of David Silva, the introduction of Nasri is not just a pile of stars?
"Master Huan, what do you mean, we need a strong side breakthrough?"
Yang Huan looked at this guy's eyes, something was not quite right, but he nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Unexpectedly, Mubarak started talking to himself.
"Nasri and David Silva are both ball-handling types. In this way, what Manchester City needs most is a powerful wing breaker like Gareth Bale, especially after watching His performance in this game..."
"Huh?" Yang Huan was a little dumbfounded to hear from the side.
Damn you, dare you want to poach me, right?
"Master Huan, sell Gareth Bale to us!"
Yang Huan immediately shook his head and smiled: "Brother, let's stop talking about this!"
"Why?" Mubarak was depressed.
Gareth Bale is good. He has adapted to the Premier League and proved his strength. This season he shines again, absolutely awesome!
Originally, Mubarak thought Neymar was good, but Neymar also belonged to the type that tends to control the ball, so he finally felt that Gareth Bale is good, and he is a native British player, worth introducing!
I don't know, Young Master Huan almost fell over with a word.
"You can't afford it!"
Can't afford it?
Mubarak felt as if he had been insulted!
The dignified and powerful Manchester City team can't afford Gareth Bale?
"Okay, let's not talk about this. If you want to introduce players, our Southampton scouting system can help you provide some advice, but if you want to introduce Gareth Bale, let's forget it, we don't It will sell!"
When Yang Huan said this, Mubarak felt better.
It's right to think about it. Gareth Bale has only come to Southampton for one season, and he is also in the Saints Youth Training. How could Yang Huan sell it easily?
Besides, with Gas Bell’s current name and influence, even if it is a transfer, I am afraid that Southampton will not easily allow him to transfer to a rival in the Premier League. Isn't this weakening himself and a strong opponent?
How could Young Master Huan do this kind of self-interest and benefit others?
"Master Huan, this is what you said, if you decide to sell, you must remember to notify us!"
"All right, all right, I know!"
Yang Huan directly started haha ​​and pushed Tai Chi up.

…………
This focused game that attracted worldwide attention ended in a 3-0 home win over Manchester City at Southampton.
Southampton, who played at home, scored three points and accumulated 53 league points with the victory of this game, reversing Manchester City and ranking second in the Premier League standings.
Manchester United scored 63 points with 20 wins, three draws and three losses, ranking first in the Premier League.
With a very big lead gap, with twelve rounds left in the league, it is probably impossible for any team to shake Manchester United's championship position.
This also allowed the entire British media to start overwhelmingly publicizing Manchester United's lead after this round of war.
The Red Devils won the championship, this is already an ironclad fact, the difference lies in which round is determined.
Just kidding, if you lead ten points and eventually lose the championship, it's Ferguson? Or Manchester United?
On the contrary, it is the competition for the top four in the league. After Manchester City lost this round of away games, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur shortened the points gap. The three teams are only one point behind each other, and they may be sacked anytime, anywhere.
As for Arsenal, there is still a little distance from Tottenham Hotspur, who is fifth in the league, and it may not be so easy to compete for the top four in the league.
It is worth mentioning that the second chairman of Ashley’s Newcastle, after dismissing Alan Padou, not only did not have the effect of changing coaches like a knife change, but slipped step by step. Unconsciously, it has already fallen. To the sixteenth in the league.
Only one step away from the relegation zone!
This also made the British media feel very embarrassed.
The first few rounds of the Premier League ~EbookFREE.me~ Newcastle is so beautiful, but now it has been reduced to a relegation, which is really impressive.
But Yang Huan has never had the habit of pitying opponents, because he believes that poor people must be hateful.
Newcastle will have such a major landslide, and it may not be related to them.
Besides, after watching the 26th round of the Premier League match between Yang Huan and Mubarak, they immediately set off from Southampton to London without stopping, and then took a plane from Heathrow Airport to Miami, USA.
At the same time, the core executives of several European giants have also gathered in Miami, arousing the attention of the media in the United States and the world.
Because, the annual group draw ceremony of the International Champions Cup will be held here.
And many media have speculated that if so many big football players gather together, there might be some big news.
For example, negotiate a player transfer or something.
