Football: From Bundesliga debut

The next day.

After learning that captain Kompany will miss many games due to injury.

A dark cloud hangs over Manchester City.

This is a kind of pressure for Zheng Lin. The team's main central defender is absent due to injury, which is full of pressure for the midfielder in front of him.

Where there is pressure, there is motivation. After a night of "special training", Zheng Lin found that he still has some transformation.

The sense of position is better. In the small-scale confrontation, Pellegrini, who was watching the game, also noticed it.

This was an unexpected surprise, and then an idea appeared in Pellegrini's mind.

If it is too wasteful to let Zheng Lin go to the central defender, it is better to change to the midfielder and put a double midfielder in front of the 4231 defense line as a guarantee.

This should be doable.

As a defensive midfielder, Fernandinho can do it, it depends on Zheng Lin!
"If that's the case, why don't you give it a try?"

For this idea, Pellegrini directly arranged for players to experiment.

…………

In the end he came to a conclusion that he thought was a bit outrageous.

Zheng Lin's sense of defensive position is better than that of Fernandinho, and he can even become an excellent defensive core!

Although he is a little immature, but judging from his performance just now, the future can be expected!
He was a little curious about how Zheng Lin communicated in this way. This sense of position can't be grasped even with practice.

Judging from the previous game, his sense of position is not very good, but judging from the current training, the improvement is not obvious, especially when defending, he looks clean and neat.

It's like a different person.

What pleased Pellegrini the most was that Zheng Lin began to consciously use his left foot, which was different from his previous habits.

From the perspective of the game, his dominant foot is his right foot. Although his left foot can pass the ball well, it is not like now, he can take the ball with his left foot and then advance.

At the same time, the organization in progress made Pellegrini a bit refreshed, but he found a problem. Zheng Lin's organization at this time looked like one of the previous Real Madrid midfielders - Redondo.

Is this deliberate learning?

If so, Pellegrini wants to talk to him, a young man doesn't need to restrict himself so much!

Too restrictive will affect your ability to innovate!

For Pellegrini, he now needs to study how to use Zheng Lin. If he is allowed to develop like Redondo in the end, he thinks it is not necessary. He hopes that every newcomer can Call yourself a special one.

Everyone is an independent person, and independent people don't need to want to be the next one!

…………

接下来的几轮比赛是8月25日客场挑战卡迪夫城、8月31日主场迎战赫尔城以及9月14日迎战斯托克城的联赛。

The most important of these is the Manchester Derby on September 9. This is a match that cannot be lost. As for the rivalry in the same city, Zheng Lin, as a new Manchester City native, does not want to lose to his opponent.

There was another UEFA Champions League group match on September 9 before. The opponent was Pilsen Forest, a team from the Czech First Division. This opponent is average, but in order to qualify smoothly, what Manchester City has to do is to win as many as possible. Victory, after all, here is the southern king of the Bundesliga-Bayern Munich.

This is a familiar opponent; it cannot be said to be a familiar opponent. After all, Zheng Lin's first game in the five major leagues is against Bayern Munich.

After transferring to Manchester City at this time, he once again had the opportunity to face Bayern Munich directly. This is the time for him to avenge his revenge!

So what Zheng Lin needs is to strengthen training, and strive to reap his own growth in the legendary training camp every night.

time flies.

Due to the lack of Kompany in Manchester City, there is a certain degree of synergy in the entire defense. This is not a problem that Zheng Lin and Fernandinho can solve as a double midfielder. They can solve part of the problem.

So this is also Manchester City losing the game against Cardiff City by one goal.

Manchester City won the Hull City game at home and drew with Stoke City again in the away game. After these four rounds of competition, Manchester City only scored 7 points.

In these few games, Zheng Lin showed his training results on the legendary training ground. What he showed to the fans and the coaching staff was his excellent midfielder defense and organizational skills, excellent sense of position, fast ball speed, pass The ball is accurate.

In three consecutive games, Zheng Lin completed the total number of passes: 104 times, precise passes: 97 times, and long passes: 5 times.

As for the shot, there was not even one shot. In order to ensure the stability of the defense, Zheng Lin has been staying in the midfield since the game against Cardiff City. A conceded goal is quite self-blaming for Zheng Lin.

After four rounds, Liverpool topped the Premier League table with 9 points, Arsenal, which is said to be fighting for the top four, scored 7 points, and Manchester United, Chelsea, and Manchester City scored [-] points at the same time. At this time, the most intense ranking competition has begun. prelude.

All three teams have 7 points, and Manchester City and Manchester United will face off on September 9 to determine the winner. Once they win, there will be another six points difference.

For Manchester City, which is aiming to compete for the championship, this is the best time to open up the points with the rivals in the same city!

And the city rival Manchester United also wants to win Manchester City. As Manchester United, which has been suppressing the blue moon in Manchester, there is a saying before, "The sky in Manchester is red!"

For such a statement, Manchester City fans do not agree. However, the team has not had good results before. Since the arrival of local tyrants in the Middle East, this is the prelude to the club's take-off.

Although they are currently staring at the title of an upstart, they believe that as long as they win more and more championships, they will become a new rich club!

As the time for September 9 is getting closer, the atmosphere of confrontation on the streets of Manchester is getting heavier. From time to time, fans in red Manchester United jerseys can be seen "spraying" with Manchester City fans.

What's more, some fans even got into fights, which also proves that the two sides are incompatible.

Before that, Manchester City still had a Champions League group match to play, as did Manchester United. Their first group match was against Zheng Lin's former club, Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester United's situation will be a little better than Manchester City's because they are sitting at home against Leverkusen who came to challenge, while Manchester City is going away to play against Pilsen Victory.

This itinerary is somewhat unfavorable for Manchester City. Although it is a home game against Manchester United, it is actually a leisurely wait for Manchester United, and their preparation time will be more sufficient.

For Pellegrini, these need to be considered. The impact of back and forth formation on the formation of the team, so after returning to Manchester after the Champions League group stage, they will only be able to start recovery training to ensure the player's state.

Facing Victory Pilsen in the Czech First Division, Manchester City scored three goals and won the game relatively easily, while their rivals Manchester United won Leverkusen 4-2 without any risk.

After the game, the focus of both sides is the Manchester Derby on the 22nd, which is a game that determines the direction of the entire season.
