Vol 7 Chapter 133: long time no see (3)

The boss's face has to be given. Besides, the entire team is now fully loaded. The main players, especially Wang Ai, are in good condition. Therefore, when everyone set off for the stadium at 6 pm on April 1, the Chilean engineer released a rhetoric on the bus: "Tonight's Etihad Stadium will be recorded in history!"
Wang Ai, Dzeko, David Silva, Navas, Yaya Toure... A group of starters walked into the stadium in high spirits, and there was a lot of noise from the stands during the warm-up. This scene made Manchester City fans quite emotional: The good results on the front line finally warmed up the lonely stadium. Although it can't achieve the effect of the next door, but it is not far away.
Dzeko performed outstandingly in the last Manchester derby red and blue battle, scoring two goals alone, so he sent a partner with Wang Ai, and Manchester City's formation once again changed from a slightly conservative 4231 to a brave and progressive 442! When City's starting line-up appeared on the Sky TV screen, the commentator asserted: "It is because of the presence of Wang that Manchester City think they can win by attacking force without resorting to the conservative approach of reaching the quarter-finals for the first time, as many have speculated. Strategy. Maybe Simeone's boldness will be unexpected, but in any case against the defensive Atletico Madrid, an ambitious Manchester City team will make the game better."
When 8:40 p.m. came and the two sides officially played, the commentator's words became: "This is another game after Wang has been vacant for two games. Going forward on all fronts, according to statistics, Manchester City has never lost a game in which the king has played. On the contrary, there have been many big wins. This super player was invited from Germany after spending a huge transfer fee and countless resources and even national resources. The superstar is creating the myth of Manchester City and writing the miracle of the Premier League with the performance beyond the salary."
When shaking hands with the unfamiliar Atletico Madrid players, Wang Ai did not have any super-giant demeanor, but just went through the motions plainly, and did not care about the vigilance, awe, and hostility of the Atletico Madrid players. Quietly waiting for the game to start in the middle circle.
At 8:45, when the whistle sounded, Atletico Madrid striker Costa knocked back, Wang Ai went to grab, Atletico Madrid midfielder Turan pushed across, Wang Ai ran across to steal, Atletico Madrid midfielder Suarez saw Wang Ai throwing The ferocity wanted to play a super giant, so he got the ball to turn around. Unexpectedly, Wang Ai's speed was so fast, he just turned around and Wang Ai went around.
Among Manchester City's 442 strikers, although Wang Ai has a height of 192 cm, no matter who he plays with, he actually plays the "fast", even if his partner is Aguero, who is 171 cm. Those who dare to underestimate Wang Ai's speed have become the corners of his golden boot trophy. It is also the new army that has risen in recent years such as Atletico Madrid and has the guts to try it. For example, the Cosmos team has never dared to play like this. Son.
However, the opening song did not make Atletico lose all the way. On the contrary, Manchester City soon fell into Atletico Madrid's mad dog-like defense. Fierce, wild and tenacious, Manchester City's sharp offensive was repeatedly frustrated, causing the match commentator to exclaim: "This is not a La Liga team, more like a Premier League team!"
Although Pellegrini repeatedly emphasized the strength of the opponent's defense before the game, just like Atletico Madrid people have to try even if they know Wang Ai's strength, Manchester City people know the strength of Atletico Madrid's defense, but don't give it a try. Is not deep experience.
It wasn't until more than 20 minutes into the game that the Manchester City players, including Wang Ai, got used to Atletico's defensive strength. They were not only tough individuals, but also well-organized. The four midfielders often fought in groups and cooperated very closely with each other. It was decided to either die suddenly from the set-piece, or to play at a faster pace, or to rip Atletico's defensive organization into a mess by running off the ball.
I have practiced before the set-piece game, but I haven't had a chance yet. A quicker footstep requires the captain's order. Wang Ai is not good at commanding his teammates, so the only thing he can do is to run without the ball.
So from the 25th minute of the game, Wang Ai's position became erratic. For a while, he went deep into the Atletico Madrid center back, and then retreated to the middle circle. The whole frontcourt was full of him. Also, he was off camera a lot of the time and had nothing to do with football.
Except for a few, such as Pellegrini, no one knew why Wang Ai's energetic movement was until the 37th minute of the game. At that time, Navas was bottoming on the right, and Wang Ai followed him at a distance of five or six meters. It was like a two-on-two and a horizontal attack in the middle. The full-back of Atletico Madrid was at a loss. When he went to block Navas, the most threatening one, Wang Ai suddenly ran away without looking back.
There was Dzeko in the middle of the penalty area. He didn't know what Wang Ai, who had been off the line for more than 10 minutes, was going to do, so he had to continue to wait for Navas to pass the ball. , and the Atletico Madrid players between them even more do not understand.
Navas took advantage of the opponent's full-back's momentary dazedness to forcibly break through. At this time, his position was close to the bottom line. Just as he continued to go deep and felt that he had no chance to hit the goal, he found that he ran across the entire Atletico Madrid defense from him. A "no man's land" supergiant suddenly stopped and turned around, just near the back post.
Navas didn't have time to think too much and quickly passed a high ball. Wang Ai easily bowed in place, swayed his upper body, shook his head and banged the ball into the goal.
In the stands that cheered in an instant, among the players who ran to a point in an instant, only a few people noticed the whole process just now, and noticed that there was not a single Atletico Madrid player who defended the fierce and tenacious in this change just now. Meet the giant.
When the slow motion just now was replayed on the TV, it was put on the third time from different angles, and the commentator of Sky TV could understand: "Mr. Golden Ball has greatly increased the number of Atletico Madrid players by running meaningless for a long time. The difficulty of defense. After all, any offense and defense are traceable, and there are relatively mature routines for defense training for offense. However, an offensive player who runs meaninglessly will greatly increase the calculation difficulty of the defensive player. Especially If this player is a superstar, they have to use their brains to try to analyze the meaning of his movements. And in my opinion, there are many movements that do not make sense, and do not make tactical sense. However, its greatest significance is to force Atletico's defense gave up the analysis of his movement and changed from active defense to passive reactive defense, which is fatal for a superstar with all-round attacking skills and all-round body awareness and speed."
