Vol 5 Chapter 94: 1st backup wing forward

For the game against Chelsea, Manchester City are prepared for a long time.
It is needless to say in terms of tactics. As early as Christmas, the team began to do targeted training. The last game with Derbyshire was also used as an "advance drill" to familiarize the team with the style and rhythm. In short, Manchester City played against the game. Is well prepared.
It can also be seen from here that Manchester City has paid more attention to the game.
As many media said, "This is a game that may determine the league champion", the situation is not so serious, but it will definitely affect the league rankings. Manchester City only loses the game, no, as long as it is tied, it is likely to be Chelsea surpassed and fell to second in the league.
They have already realized the benefits of the league first, the beauty of standing on the top of the mountain, naturally no one would want to fall back again, it feels not very good.
The importance of the game to the team is undoubtedly, this has far exceeded the ordinary league.
Those Manchester City media have advertised the game as "New England's North-South War". In the past, England's "North-South War" was a game between Manchester United and Arsenal, but now it has changed. The best performances in the league are Chelsea and Manchester City. Chelsea and Arsenal are also in London, Manchester City and Manchester United are in Manchester, the two teams just happened to replace the original 'North and South Wars'.
Of course, on this point, Manchester United and Arsenal fans will certainly not admit it.
But their ideas are not important, because there are more {media attention to the game, which also means that the world has more fans following the game. Obviously, the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City has attracted worldwide attention. 'And strong, but also attracted the attention of more fans.
On the morning of the game, Manchester Stadium was already surrounded by crowds, and there were crowds of people around the stadium. It looks like he can't enter the court later. More of them have no tickets. They are here to experience the lively atmosphere here, or they want to cheer for the support team at close range.
At this time, Chelsea and Manchester City buses have already entered the stadium.
Chelsea players walked down the bus in turn, they looked at the stadium from left to right, feeling the familiar warm atmosphere.
They are very serious on their faces.
This is not nervous. Seriously, the game is very important for Manchester City, and it is also very important for Chelsea, so they attach great importance to the game.
But they are full of confidence.
Despite Manchester City ’s very good results, Chelsea players still recognize the strength of their team. The feelings about Manchester United are generally, "their luck is good" or "their coaches are good." Many Chelsea players have their minds in mind. The impression of Manchester City is still Keegan's team last season.
As the head coach, Mourinho reminded them to be serious and pay attention to their opponents, but many of them did not put it in their hearts, or because it did n’t matter at all-anyway, in the game, just follow the coach ’s instructions Just do it.
In fact, Mourinho is also full of confidence in the game.
Although it is difficult for him to win against Wansheng, although Chelsea is ranked second in the league. There is still one point less Manchester City, but he still thinks the team can win Manchester City away.
He has carefully studied Manchester City's tactics.
Compared with Derbyshire last season. Manchester City has a stronger tactical control ability. Passing and catching the ball and controlling the rhythm. Manchester City are doing very well, but they also lack the threat of quick attack. There is no way to compare the two. Which is better, specific It depends on strength and play.
But no doubt. Chelsea's tactics are against Manchester City.
Manchester City's attack is gorgeous, but the offense is offensive, the most headache is always a solid defense, and Chelsea is just good at defending, his team can defend themselves very tightly at halftime. As long as the goal is guaranteed, Chelsea is invincible.
Mourinho has always insisted on defending for this reason. Modern football defense wins, as long as the goal can be kept, the opponent will not be disadvantaged.
A draw may not be the best result, but as long as it does not fail, the chance of winning is the greatest.
This is Mourinho's vision of the outcome of the game.
So after leading the team to Manchester Stadium, Mourinho continued to emphasize in the locker room, "I have said it many times, but I need to emphasize it again. We should pay more attention to the defense and not give them any chance! Yes Any chance! "
"As long as you can do it, we will be invincible!"
"..."
...
At the same time, Wan Sheng was also in the locker room and announced the last mobilization before the game, but what he said was different from Mourinho.
"You should be very clear about how to play the game, and I won't say much." Wansheng directly jumped away from the way of playing, because he has said many times, the team is well prepared, and there is no need to repeat it, " What I want to discuss with you is what kind of team we are! "
"...?"
Everyone was paying attention, and they were a bit unclear about Wansheng's account.
Wan Sheng glanced around and looked at everyone seriously, as several family treasures said, "Now it is the end of December. We are ranked first in the league. This is not the British Championship, the Premier League, but the Premier League! In the 18 rounds of the league, we played After winning 16 rounds and 2 rounds of tie, this result was shocking enough in previous years. Let ’s not talk about it for the time being. The league after 18 rounds is the first. What does this stand for, each of you should be very clear. "
"We are qualified to compete for the league championship! No, it should be said that we are very likely to become the league champion! Only Chelsea can compete with us!"
"Do you know what this representative is?" Wan Sheng continued without waiting for someone to answer. "This means that we are one of the best teams in the league. We have no European tournaments this season, so we can focus on the league." In this case, as the best team in the league, if we still can't win the league championship, what will others say about us? "
"Look! Manchester City, the dark horse this season ..."
"Yes, dark horses! At that time, we are not strong teams, only dark horses, because we have not won the league championship, and the honor always belongs to the champion!"
"So, I have to ask you now. What is the most important thing we want to win?"
Everyone looked at each other and nobody said anything.
Wan Sheng looked at Morris, hoping that the disciple could say something. Morris raised his head and looked at him, thinking for a moment, then stood up and asked, "Is the state of mind?"
Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction.
"That's right. It's the mentality!" He said seriously, "can be ranked in the top three in the league, will be a strong team, like us, like Chelsea, like Manchester United, but I must admit that although we are First in the league, but we are inferior to them. That is the mentality. "
"They are giants, and of course they are champion contenders and strong teams. And we are different. At the beginning of the league, when we performed well, everyone would only say that we are dark horses, and now many people say so, some of you may also See it this way. Right? "
Several players bowed their heads unconsciously, and they did think so.
"But I want to tell you now. We are not dark horses! Dark horses are only good for a while, but we will stick to the end, so we are also strong teams with the strength to compete for the championship!
"I want to repeat it again, we are a strong team with the strength to compete for the championship!" Wan Sheng almost said with a roar, "You have to remember it carefully, keep it in your heart! Now. Please repeat, what are we ? "
"It is a strong team with the strength to compete for the championship ..."
Several voices followed.
Wan Sheng frowned, dissatisfied, and shouted loudly, "I didn't hear it, but louder!"
"We are also a strong team with the strength to compete for the championship !!!" The voice became a lot louder.
Wan Sheng nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, you must always remember this sentence ..."
Everyone's spirit has been aroused a lot.
Everyone knows that Wan Sheng is inspiring everyone, but Wan Sheng ’s words are still very exciting. As he said, many people think that the team is a dark horse before. Yue became a powerful contender for the championship, and naturally many people couldn't adjust their mentality.
But what Wansheng said tells them that the situation has changed.
The team is no longer a team that strives for relegation, nor is it a dark horse that gets better for a while, but a strong team with complete strength to compete for the championship!
This makes them feel uplifted!
Some people are thinking that they have finally become ‘a member of the giants’. With this mentality, they naturally feel very excited and look forward to the next game.
...
Before the game, both sides announced the roster and starting lineup.
There is nothing special about Chelsea. In general, they are their main lineup. The goalkeepers are excellent Cech. The guards Ferreira, William Gallas, Terry and Del Horno. And Lampard, Joe Cole, Drogba and Damien Duff in the frontcourt.
Their formation is still 442. Mourinho wants to use the team's best lineup and formation to win this away game.
In contrast, Manchester City's starting lineup is a bit striking.
What matters is the wing.
Mu Sangpa and David Silva, the combination of the two appeared for the first time. After Musangpa recovered from his injury, he only played once on behalf of Manchester City. He started from the original position. David Xi Erva replaced Sinclair as a full-back, which was equivalent to changing the way around.
This is a bit strange.
Few wing forwards can adapt to the two-way position, because the left and right kicks are roughly the same, but the left and right conversion will be very unsuitable, but David Silva is completely changed. ?
This is very surprising.
Even Sky TV commentator George Woodgate wondered, "How could David Silva change the way? Can he adapt?"
But no one knew what Wan Sheng was thinking.
...
The game is about to start.
David Silva was standing on the court, he received a lot of attention, several cameras kept pointing.
When he first came to England, he would be very nervous in this situation, but now it is not.
He has adapted to the environment here.
It still feels weird to recall that he was still worried about which small club he was loaned to by Valencia half a year ago, but now he has stood on the top stage of the world and participated High-profile game.
Now he is also the focus of the audience.
David Silva knew a little bit about how he became the focus, because he replaced Sinclair as a starter, but he didn't care much. In fact, he didn't play this position in training on weekdays, which even made him feel, The coach bought himself to Manchester City just to let himself play the all-round forward.
Of course, this is not bad.
Compared to a season in the lower leagues, it is not bad to play for the first team in the Premier League, playing the 'first substitute wingback', but the whole team knows that coach Wan Sheng is looking at him-he is Manchester City Focus on training players.
He can affirm this because he can feel the coach's emphasis on himself.
It is difficult for other players to get individual guidance from Wan Sheng. Even most of the time, Wan Sheng will not appear on the training ground, but he is different. Wan Sheng and he said that as long as they have any questions, they can come to them at any time.
On the training ground, other coaches will also attach great importance to him. In the first few games, Wan Sheng also made him appear in the starting position of the middle road, and even once started to replace Morris.
By this time, David Silva already knew that the coach should cultivate himself as the core of the team ... the core of the first team in the Premier League? It seems very good!
But at this stage, he has not been able to do well, so he can only continue to work hard.
He remembered what the coach said before the game and himself.
"What you need to do is stability, stability, then stability. Understand? No matter where you are, stability is always the most important thing. Like Lee, why can he be the core? Because no matter offensive or defensive, he is always the most important. Credible, you do n’t have to worry about whether he will be out of position, or what he is doing on impulse. So I have to rely on him, the team has to rely on him. "
"You have a better talent than Li ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You are also younger and your future is bright. I hope you can do your best as soon as possible ..."
Recalling Wan Sheng's remarks, David Silva always felt bloody.
He has always been very respectful of Wan Sheng, because Wan Sheng is a champion coach, and has a very good set of training players. He has been very satisfied to be able to come to Manchester City, but he did not expect Wan Sheng to take this seriously.
He is more talented than Li!
He is younger!
His future is bright!
With this in mind, David Silva was very fortunate that he had chosen to join Manchester City. He was also lucky that Manchester City could find himself. Otherwise, he is still on a Spanish lower league team? How can there be a chance to stand on the top stage of this world!
Now he is going to work hard to repay Wan Sheng's trust.
He wants to prove that Wansheng is right to value himself! (To be continued ...)
