Grass roots glory

Chapter 1012
The Manchester City players don't have much discomfort. Although the atmosphere at Old Trafford is very frenzied, if they can't even imagine this scene, then they don't deserve to be one of the BIG6 teams.

Pellegrini sat on the commentary seat with a solemn look. "Pei Gong" has always been like this. In terms of tactics, he has already arranged it in the locker room.

A few minutes ago, Pellegrini was tapping on the tactical board in the locker room, and explained the guiding ideology that should be adhered to in this game in a succinct manner: "Shrink the defense! Each of you stands in your own position and don't try to win in Zhou Tiancheng. When the ball comes up and steals it from him, I don't want any of you to be heroes, everyone's focus is on scoring goals, and only scoring goals will ensure that we leave here with a reward."

The atmosphere in the locker room of the visiting team has become a bit weird. The players in the defensive system suddenly feel a lot of pressure. Some people can laugh at themselves, such as Demichelis and Zabaleta: "Hey, what is the boss's arrangement?" Meaning? Is he really going to do this?"

"Hahaha, don't care, anyway, we're not facing him directly, and it's our turn when that guy Ferdi can't stop him."

They are talking about the Brazilian international Fernandinho. He is the one who really feels the pressure at the moment. When Pellegrini said this, his heart suddenly became tense, his brows were deeply frowned, and he was even shiny. Clearly gathered wrinkles can be seen on the bald head.

According to his thinking, he felt that the head coach was trying to embarrass him. He thought about it carefully, and there was no conflict with Pellegrini at all. As for offending the head coach, there was no such thing. .He is not a rookie in the Premier League. He transferred from Shakhtar Donetsk. This is the second season. He already knows the characteristics and "rules" of the Premier League coach very well. Pellegrini is not that rigid He is an old man, but he can tell with his thumb that he will never allow players to challenge his authority. No head coach can tolerate players doing this, so he suppressed the idea of ​​protest.Unless he really doesn't want to play, and he never wants to play.

Everyone feels that this is a tense game. Manchester City's characteristic is offense, and if they want to defend their title, this derby is the last chance to catch up to the top of the list, and even the pride of being an emerging giant will not allow them He voluntarily gave up his offense and waited to be double-killed by Manchester United. If he sent his opponent off on the road to the championship, would the big boss behind him, Mansour, be able to bear it?
This is the logic of the media, but after the opening, they saw a very familiar scene - the scene that just happened at the Double Red Meeting.

Pellegrini formed a 4-4-2 formation today, but the positions of midfielder Fernandinho and David Silva are not on a parallel line at all. Fernandinho The position is almost close to Demichelis, and at the same time, Zabaleta and Clichy on both sides also subconsciously approach the center when they are without the ball in the backcourt.

All this makes people have to think about how Pellegrini's strategy is so similar to Rogers' at the Double Red Meeting half a month ago.Is it possible that Pei Gong, who is famous for his tactical arrangements in football, has also learned from his juniors?
"Huh? Hahaha, it seems that Giggs will always face this kind of test. Pellegrini may have found a way from Rodgers. He definitely doesn't want to experience the fiasco of the Etihad Stadium. Twice. Uh..."

After Carragher finished speaking, he still felt a little embarrassed. There is an adjective called correct nonsense-as a head coach, who wants to lose?

And Yang Cheng pouted at the side: Could this have anything to do with Liverpool?It can really put money on the face of the old club.

However, the scene reflects a fact: Liverpool has been very close to the championship in recent seasons, sometimes only two or three steps away, and sometimes only one step away, but there is a reason why they often miss it in the end.

With similar tactics, it can be seen that Pellegrini's training results as a tactical master are indeed not at the same level as Rogers.

Liverpool took a two-goal lead at home, largely because of Sterling, a super-capable frontcourt blaster. However, football is a sport of eleven players, and it also comes from the counterattack after the central defender steals the ball. , Manchester City's style is different.Even if it is a big and strong man Kompany, the first thing he thinks of after getting the ball is not to move forward with his big feet, although they fully have this condition-in terms of height, Bosnia and Herzegovina Gota Dzeko is starting on the front line. , Aguero's speed and spirituality are also unique.

However, Manchester City still insisted on moving forward through fast team cooperation. David Silva accelerated very resolutely after taking the ball, attracting Fellaini's defense. Fellaini even used his strong body and strength to bring him down directly. But in the case of falling to the ground, David Silva also slid the ball to the ground and gave it to Aguero who was returning from the striker.

As long as they don't face Zhou Tiancheng, I feel that every Manchester City player has the confidence to directly single out the Manchester United defender.

Zhou Tiancheng saw that the situation on the field was not good, and it was too late when he wanted to turn around and participate in the defense. The opponent's offense in this area advanced very fast, and Zhou Tiancheng would not be given any chance to defend.

After taking the ball, Aguero rushed forward and found Dzeko in the middle. Bosnia and Herzegovina's high tower resisted Smalling and directly completed a heel pass. Aguero knew how to go straight to the penalty area at high speed.

"It's dangerous! Fellaini didn't stop him. His ability is obviously overestimated, but... Giggs may be too aggressive. This time, Aguero!"

Aguero hit the penalty area with a low shot and went directly through De Gea's ten fingers from the lower left corner. Both Smalling and Rojo were a step slower when they crossed the shovel. Aguero's movements obviously have the characteristics of a small man. Rhythm and speed advantage.

In the stands of the away team, the sound of nearly [-] fans of the away team at this moment abruptly overwhelmed the ebb and flow of Manchester United.In fact, there is no strict distinction between home and away in the same city derby between these two teams. Even if the home games of the two teams are not in the same area of ​​Manchester, for the real diehard fans, what is the tens of kilometers worth? ?
If it weren't for the Premier League's strict restrictions on the number of fans of the away team in this derby, it is estimated that fans from both sides will fight evenly every time.

However, this part of Manchester City fans, whose number is ten or twenty times smaller than the number of home fans, is waving the Manchester City flag at this time, and at the same time holding up a sign: Manchester United's team logo, from the upper left corner to the lower right corner, is run through this sign Draw a big red cross.

The team's lead allows them to proudly declare war at Old Trafford: We are here to smash the game!
