In the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, the Celtics faced Manchester City in the first round of 40 minutes. The score on the field was 2: 1. The home team Celtics relied on goals from McDonald and Robson. Leading Manchester City as a guest.
At this time, the Celtics fans in the audience are enthusiastically discussing the game. They did not expect the Celtics to perform so well and really be able to lead Manchester City.
The Celtics players on the court are in the same mood. After the goal just scored, they are more confident about the goal of 'playing at home advantage'.
When the team was preparing for the game, by knowing Manchester City's achievements on various fronts and watching Manchester City's game video, they clearly knew what team they were going to encounter.
Although head coach Strachan has repeatedly boosted the morale of the team, he has repeatedly emphasized that as long as they work hard and actively play, the team will definitely have a chance.
Strachan didn't just say so to the players. In order to encourage the morale of the team and express that he really thinks the team has hope, he also expressed his views in the media. Some people think that Strakan expressed in the media. 'Celtics are not easy to deal with', just a war of words between the two sides before the game, but in fact, this has little relationship with Manchester City, Strakan is inspiring his team's fighting spirit.
With the efforts of Strachan, the Celtics players at least knew that the team should make every effort in the game and try their best to win.
When the game begins, each of their players actively fights for it and actively participates in the game. The atmosphere of the Celtic Park Stadium helps them integrate into the game better and faster.
Now they don't have the feeling of 'Manchester City is strong', especially after just scoring a goal, they are more confident. They believe that as long as they all work hard, the team will definitely win.

The score is behind, the mentality of Manchester City players has not been affected much, compared to the previous two seasons, Manchester City has matured a lot.
This is not the first time they have fallen behind.
Therefore, even if it is behind the score, Manchester City is still playing well.
In fact, this is also related to the feeling of the game. Many Manchester City players on the field feel that scoring is not difficult. Their offense hits the frontcourt and they still get a lot of opportunities, so there is nothing terrible behind a ball. .
The Manchester City players felt this way. After the game restarted, they also strengthened their offense, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible. However, Wan Sheng, who stood on the sideline, still found a problem. He felt that the team played too impatiently.
Perhaps it was the impact of the away atmosphere, or perhaps the mentality problem caused by the team ’s performance. Before the game started, the team has taken a 'must-win' attitude in the game, and the players seem to be eager to use goals. Prove the correctness of this attitude.
This is a rational analysis from Wansheng.
Now the game on the court is like this. The team is playing according to tactics. There is no special problem, but whenever they score in the frontcourt, they are eager to perform and eager to complete the goal.
So attacking again and again, there are opportunities in the frontcourt, but failed to seize the opportunity at a critical time.
After discovering this, Wan Sheng called on the captain Dunn and told him to play well. At the same time, he pressed his hands down. With this command, he reminded the team to be slightly behind. some.
There is not much time left in the first half, but there is no need to rush to score. The current goal is to play more stable, at least not to let the Celtics get another chance.
With Wan Sheng's reminder, Manchester City's formation is slightly behind, and the defense has stabilized a lot.
Time has passed.
Soon with the referee's whistle, the first half of the game ended.

After the first half of the game, Wan Sheng returned to the locker room the first time.
After all the players returned, Wan Sheng talked about some problems in the first half of the game, "We played too impatiently."
"There are many opportunities that can be seized, but we did not. In the first half of the game, I found that you were in a hurry to score goals as if you were thinking about a victory or defeat."
"This kind of mentality is absolutely necessary. There are no weak teams in the Champions League. Especially at this stage, the opponent is the Celtics. They eliminated Benfica in the group stage and defeated AC Milan. If you continue to use this mentality It ’s no surprise that we were eliminated from the game. "
Wan Sheng said very seriously, "It must be remembered that we are now playing in the Champions League knockout, which is a two-game system between host and guest. Even if we lose this game, we can return to Manchester Stadium to win the second round, The decision to win or lose is in two matches, not one. "
"We don't have to rush to score goals. The Champions League game is more stable and more patient than anyone who can play."
"In the second half, we continue to stick to the original tactics, but I hope to see you play more stable and play more patiently, then we are a strong European team, not a youth army, do you understand what I mean? "
After Wan Sheng said, many players were pondering.
Experienced Robert Carlos, Dunn and others have already discovered the problem. If Wansheng said so bluntly, they would fully understand it.
The team's strength is definitely the top in Europe, and the technology and cooperation are very good. In comparison, it is at least stronger than the Celtics. The key issue is still in the experience of the European War.
Even though last season, the team has participated in the Champions League and reached the quarterfinals, but the team is still too young, such as midfielder David Silva, but only 23 years old, Ozil Wang Xiaolei, even a young man under the age of 20, the other players have good strength and reputation, but they have little experience in European wars.
This is the second time Manchester City have played in the UEFA Champions League knockout. Under the mentality of a 'strong team', they despise their opponents a bit, eager to prove that the team is a strong European team.
It is this mentality that makes the team play too impatiently and cannot fully exert its strength.
Therefore, Wan Sheng would use the ‘youth army’ as a metaphor.
Last season's Manchester City, it can be said to be a 'youth army', which is a good vocabulary, indicating that a team is very young, but the 'youth army' is not a 'League Champions Team', the difference is not in strength but in mind .
This is what Wan Sheng repeatedly emphasized.

After the first half of the game, Celtic coach Strachan was more confident. He praised the team's performance in the halftime and allowed the players to make persistent efforts in the second half.
Strachan believes that as long as the team persists, they can at least play an advantage at home.
As long as they can play a sufficient advantage at home, then on the road, the Celtics can also take the initiative to eliminate Manchester City to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it will not be difficult to do.
The Celtics entered the second half with confidence.
The advantage of playing in the first half and the praise of coach Strakan made them full of fighting spirit.
Their tactics are also simple.
That is to engage in active scramble and confrontation, use intensive defense, and look for opportunities to quickly counterattack to score goals.
They did this in the first half and achieved very good results. The goals scored by McDonald and Robson proved a lot, and the opponent Manchester City scored only one goal.
They think it will be the same in the second half, as long as you play seriously you can get a chance.
But when the second half started, they found that the game was a lot harder than they thought.
Manchester City clearly played more stable.
They are not in a hurry to advance, not to go to the frontcourt to find a goal opportunity, instead of continuous passing in the midfield and backcourt, continuous passing.
The Celtics carefully studied Manchester City's tactics before the game, but the players were prepared for it. They insisted on the "active fight" that coach Stracan said, but they soon discovered that when When Manchester City played more steadily, it was not easy for them to grab the ball.
Manchester City is more than just passing. If they do n’t pay attention, the football will be passed to the front. When they are chasing the defense, either Manchester City will get a good chance, the shot has been completed, or the football will be returned by three or two feet This style of play is a headache for the Celtics players.
The only thing they can do is to keep running and actively fighting.
Football became their prey.
They desperately chased the football rush, the cheers of the stadium and the hope of victory gave them enough will to persevere.
They want to create enough pressure on Manchester City in this way.
If Manchester City can make mistakes, perhaps a mistake in the backcourt pass is enough for them to score a goal, they are working hard with such hope.
But Manchester City have too much experience with this kind of defense, not to mention the experienced Dunne on the field, even Glen Johnson on the wing, the ball is not in a hurry, the calm state of mind, Let the Celtics players feel that it is completely impossible to grab the ball.
Wan Sheng has been standing on the sidelines.
He watched the Celtics actively fight and had to admire the perseverance of the players of this team.
But if you want to win the game, it is often not enough to rely on perseverance, especially when playing with his team. Perseverance may increase the hope of winning, but the gap between the two teams is also obvious. The key point is that the Celtics players None are iron, their physical fitness is not stronger than Manchester City, in such a game, their physical consumption will be more.
Sure enough, as Wan Sheng thought, after a period of time, some Celtics players will not be able to run, they are not actively running.
After losing that momentum, they even had a lot of holes in their defense.
Strachan quickly discovered the problem.
He originally thought that fighting this way should force Manchester City to pass the ball hurriedly, or force them to pass the ball to the frontcourt.
It was like this in the first half.
In the first half, Manchester City also passed the ball in the backcourt, but it would not control the ball for such a long time. Often when the team went up, they went to the frontcourt to find opportunities. Under the intensive defense of the frontcourt, The ball will be snatched back soon.
But after Manchester City played more stable, it became difficult for the team to grab it.
Twenty minutes later, the Celtics didn't even have a shot, their counterattack failed to hit, and the offense from the backcourt had nothing to do with the frontcourt.
Five minutes later, the Celtics still had no chance.
Although they still have a 2: 1 lead, the game situation is already very unfavorable to the Celtics. His players have run less, and Manchester City's impact on their own half time after time has increased the threat.
The goal seems to be broken at any time!
This will definitely not work!
Strachan suddenly realized that he was too eager to play an advantage, and had a 2-1 lead in the first half, which was very beneficial to the team.
As long as the score is maintained until the end, go to Manchester Stadium, they can advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League without losing.
But he wanted the team to play a bigger advantage, so he didn't change the style of play. As a result, the game reached this level, and Strachan felt he needed to do something.
With the game going on like this, it's no surprise that Manchester City finished scoring goals.
When Strachan wanted to do this, it was too late. Manchester City took advantage of the Celtics' chance to fight and suddenly passed the ball to the frontcourt.
After Özil received the pass, an exquisite straight put the ball into the right side of the penalty area.
Those who are familiar with Manchester City will feel very familiar after seeing Ozil's passing direction.
This is almost a copy of a thousand times!
Sure enough, after the right side of the penalty area was full-back Ivan Crewe, he ran to the position and directly hit the ball.
With an arc, the football flies straight into the far corner of the goal!

"Al !!"
"Goal scored! 2: 2! Manchester City, who played away, equalized the score and scored Ivan Crewe! He and Ozil had a perfect match. Almost immediately, Ozil passed the pass ... "
Seeing Ivan Crewe score a complete goal, all Manchester City fans who came to Glasgow with the team boiled.
From the beginning to the present, they have been very sullen, because the Celtics are leading most of the time, and now Manchester City have finally tied the score again.
In the second half of the game, the rhythm has always been controlled by Manchester City. The team's frequent cooperation and the suppression of the Celtics in the situation make them think that the victory will still be Manchester City.
This goal made them take a pill, so they cheered in the stands.
Many media are also discussing goals ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The local Scottish media are all praising Manchester City's exquisite cooperation. The opportunities just now may not be an opportunity for other teams, but Ozil is timely. The pass from the ball is fine, Ivan Crewe keeps up and turns the pass into a goal.
This is the cooperation of the two people, but also reflects the tacit cooperation between Manchester City players.
Only once did this 'chance not a chance', let Manchester City turn into a goal. Some people recalled that Strakan said before the game that the Celtics are not easy to deal with, but now their feeling is, "Manchester City It ’s not easy to deal with! "
A good team, it is not so easy to complete the goal!
The Celtics lead Manchester City most of the time, but Manchester City is not in a hurry. In the second half of the scene, it is also not impatient for the backward situation, and uses the opportunity to complete the goal in a timely manner.
This is a top European team!
Throughout the game, the 'somewhat violent' Celtics are really much better to deal with! (To be continued.)
