Chapter 816 Manchester City's version of Beckham

Manchester City has no way to suspend players this time.

Both goalkeepers Joe Hart and Given were involved. If the game is suspended, the team will have no goalkeeper.

So after discussing with Guardiola, Su Dong decided to fine him for two weeks.

When the team resumed training, Su Dong, as the captain, announced the penalty decision in the locker room.

Gareth Barry, Joe Hart, Adam Johnson and Shay all accepted it, and obviously they are all aware of their current situation. This is already a series of mistakes they have made in a short period of time.

A two-week salary penalty is still quite heavy for the players.

Guardiola also announced a ban on alcohol on the spot, requiring all players to prohibit alcoholism during the league. Once found, they will be severely fined. If they commit again, the fine will be heavier, and even heavier punishments cannot be ruled out.

The four players who made mistakes were punished, and the other players in the locker room had no complaints. The matter quickly subsided, and the outside media immediately shifted their focus.

After all, these Manchester City players were also drinking heavily and did not cause trouble, so the problem is not big.

……

From the first training session after the team returned from vacation, Guardiola made a very obvious change.

That was Trippier's lineup when he started training.

The 20-year-old local right-back is not fast and his body is not strong. This is really a disadvantage in the Premier League where the impact is very strong and the competition is very fierce. This is why Trippier is not very popular in the Manchester City youth training camp.

In the selection of European youth training materials, the body is always the first consideration.

David Silva missed Real Madrid because of his poor health.

But Trippier eventually stayed in the Manchester City youth academy, which must have his own advantages.

One is his footwork. Whether it is stopping the ball or passing the ball, long pass or wide pass, Trippier is a good player, so in the youth academy, he is called the Manchester City version of Beckham. This is really not bragging.

Another is that he has a good sense of defensive position and a high ball quotient.

This is an interesting point.

He lacks speed, but has outstanding physical fitness. He is very active in the game and has a good sense of defensive position. As a full-back, he rarely makes major defensive mistakes in the game. His excellent technique and footwork make him a good player no matter whether it is a 45-degree oblique pass, a long pass, a bottom pass, or even a long shot.

But also because of his lack of speed, once his back thrust is too strong, the gap behind him will be fatal, and he lacks that kind of wing impact ability.

All in all, this is a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages, and at the same time it is a headache.

In terms of defense, the lack of speed and the fragility of physical confrontation make him suffer in the game, especially when facing the most speedy wingers in the Premier League, but his sense of position and excellent kicking wisdom can ensure that he does not make major mistakes.

The same is true in terms of offense. His speed does make him lack wing impact, but his excellent footwork allows him to pass the ball to create threats, and his high ball quotient ensures that he plays smartly on the court.

Trippier is such a combination of contradictions.

Guardiola took a fancy to him, mainly because of his footwork and passing.

In training, Trippier also fully demonstrated his ability in this regard.

The success rate of both long passes and crosses is very high, which is very rare, and it can also cooperate with passes from the midfield.

And most importantly, he's really smart.

After training with the first team for so long, he has a very clear understanding of Guardiola's tactical intentions, and his implementation is also very good. It can be said that he has basically brought out his own advantages.

As for the short board, there is no way, he is like this.

What Guardiola originally wanted most was to introduce a right back like Marcelo on the right. The most ideal ones are Lahm, Alves and Maicon. If one of the three players can come, then Guardiola will be satisfied.

But the progress of the transfer is not satisfactory, and Maicon's performance this season has declined sharply, which makes Guardiola a little unconfident.

As for Ram and Alves, they are the babies of Bayern and Barcelona, ​​and it is difficult to grab them.

After being unable to get what he wanted, Guardiola could only settle for the next best thing, and wanted to try Trippier.

The main thing is that Micah Richards is such a disappointment.

……

After the training, Su Dong took a towel from the coaching staff, wiped off his sweat, and walked towards Trippier.

"Good performance." Su Dong praised with a smile.

Trippier was a little surprised, but he was encouraged by Su Dong's face-to-face praise, "Thank you."

"Don't be so nervous. In fact, I think that if you let go, you can perform better. In training, especially when fighting in groups, I felt several times that you are still too reserved and can't let go. This is not okay."

Trippier scratched the head of the short inch, looking a little embarrassed.

How could it be unrestrained?

This is the first time he has put on the vest of the main team.

More importantly, when Micah Richards was suspended with a red card and Guardiola was dissatisfied with him, he was promoted to the main team, which is already a very obvious signal.

Guardiola even told him directly that as long as he performed well in training, he would be allowed to play in the weekend game.

This will be his Premier League debut!

"I know, you must be under some pressure, but you have to trust the teammates around you, we will help you, so sometimes, you can be bold, and there is no need to always be trembling. This is okay in training, but it will be enough when it comes to the game." Su Dong reminded.

After all, training is training, even if it is a group confrontation, it is not a formal competition.

In the actual competition, that kind of intensity cannot be simulated by training anyway.

"All in all, relax, I think you did a great job." Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand, patting Trippier on the shoulder.

Su Dong never lied, Trippier did perform okay.

If it was in other teams in the Premier League, Trippier might not be very pleasing, but in Manchester City, his footwork, technique, and passing are the most important things for Guardiola, and he has good physical fitness and runs very actively.

"By the way, you can think about it, go to the gym more and arrange strength training, which will make you perform better."

After finishing speaking, Su Dong smiled and waved his hands, and walked directly to the gym.

Trippier looked at Su Dong's back with a slight frown. Everyone in Manchester City knew that Su Dong was a training madman. Even the cruel gym training was as simple as eating for him.

In fact, Su Dong is not the first person to persuade him to carry out strength training, but this is the closest he has come to the first team appearance, and he does not want to be just a flash in the pan, which is meaningless.

Therefore, he also made a secret decision in his heart. If he can really play and perform well, then he will make up his mind to improve his body, at least to gain a firm foothold in the first team, right?
…………

…………

On the afternoon of October [-]th, Manchester City was a guest at the Molineux Stadium to challenge Wolves away.

This is the tenth round of the Premier League.

Due to the key battle of the Europa League group stage in the middle of next week, Guardiola once again rotated the lineup this time.

The Wolves are currently ranked No.19 in the Premier League and are the favorites for relegation. Guardiola is also confident of defeating their opponents away.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart, the defense is Boateng, Pepe, Kompany and Trippier, the midfielder is Busquets, David Silva and Toni Kroos partner in the midfield, and the front trident is Di Maria, Su Dong and Sanchez.

After a week of training, Trippier's performance in training has basically been recognized, occasionally outstanding, but overall it is quite satisfactory. Guardiola is also willing to give him a chance to start.

This is the first time the English teenager has represented Manchester City and started in the Premier League.

Bridge also lost the trust of Guardiola, so in this game he directly arranged for Boateng to play as left back and let Marcelo take turns. The German defender can play all positions in the defense and is very comprehensive.

Before the opening game, Su Dong specially encouraged Trippier and Boateng for a while.

"Cheer up, we didn't win the opponent in the last round, we want three points tonight!" Su Dong shouted loudly.

The surrounding players also applauded in unison.

After the last round against Arsenal, Manchester City's morale is high.

……

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took the lead.

The Wolves actively took advantage of the home court, launched a fierce press on Manchester City, and successfully grabbed the ball, instigating a counterattack on the right.

Jarvis forced a breakthrough from the right and made a pass. Trippier blocked it with his foot. The ball deflected after hitting his leg, causing a scuffle in the penalty area. Finally, it was explained by Pepe that it was out of bounds.

It can be seen that Trippier is still a little nervous.

"It's okay, just stay focused."

"Kieran, pay attention to your position, keep an eye on that NO.17."

As the captain of the field, Su Dong gave two orders in succession, the former to the whole team, and the latter to Trippier.

After Trippier felt Su Dong's eyes, his heart was relieved, and he immediately cleared up his mood and rejoined the game.

The Wolves threw the ball directly into Manchester City's penalty area, but was pushed out by Kompany.

After a scuffle in the midfield, Busquets passed the ball several times in a row with his back to the attacking direction, saw Trippier who came up from the right, and quickly passed the ball in front of him.

Trippier quickened his pace to catch up. After stopping the ball, he glanced ahead and immediately sent a long pass to the front side. Sanchez chased up as fast as he could and stopped the ball before Ward.

One on one!

The Chilean winger didn't wait for the Wolves' defense to be in place. After throwing away Ward with continuous feints, he dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inward. When he was close to the middle, he suddenly sent a through ball.

Su Dong threw away the two defenders, and then inserted into the penalty area, forming a single shot. After catching up with the ball, he made a fake move, passed the attacking goalkeeper Hahnemann, and sent the ball into the unguarded goal.

"One to zero!"

"Only 2 minutes into the game, Manchester City took the lead in scoring!"
