Array football

Chapter 14 Unreasonable?

Not only him, but other members of the coaching staff also showed hesitation, obviously very puzzled by Duncan's arrangement.

The appearance of this tactical arrangement on the field has gone beyond the reasonable and unreasonable category... This damn is simply nonsense!
"I'm not going to discuss, but to tell you the core tactics of this game. Other tactical arrangements must be subject to my arrangement! What you have to do is to formulate specific tactics for this game around this arrangement." Duncan's words revealed an undeniable toughness inside and out.

This is also something that can't be helped, he can't tell his colleagues: Brother carries the formation system with him, don't worry, it will be fine?

I'm afraid they will send Duncan to the Manchester City Mental Asylum immediately.

So the only way is to be a "self-willed" head coach.In this way, a lot of redundant words will be reduced.Duncan believed that as long as his formation was effective, they would naturally shut up obediently.

The assistant coaches are indeed very puzzled. They subconsciously believe that the new head coach thinks too easily about the Premier League.

In all fairness, the combination of Samaras and Andy Cole is not a strong combination.Samaras scored 0 goals this season, and Andy Cole only scored 2 goals.

Putting all their treasures on such an unreliable combination, the assistant coaches can only hope that their team will not lose too badly.

And Duncan's eyes revealed a trace of pride: You people, just wait to look at me with admiration!
Except for the combination of Samaras and Andy Cole, Duncan did not make any adjustments to the other positions of the team, and still continued the relatively fixed main lineup throughout the season.

The goalkeeper position is the Swedish goalkeeper Isaacson.

From left to right on the back line are Thatcher, captain Dunn, Richards, and Tracibel.

From left to right, the midfielders are Sibielski, Reina, Mido and Sinclair.

Of course, if Sun Jihai hadn't suffered an injury, then the position of left back or midfielder would belong to him.

Duncan shook hands with Wigan Athletic head coach Paul Jewell before kick-off.

Although Paul Jewell is only 40 years old, he has been the head coach for ten years.Paul Jewell's most glorious record is to lead Wigan Athletic to upgrade twice in three years, from the third level of the League Two to the Premier League.In the first year of rushing to the Premier League, they even qualified to play in European competitions in the first half of the season. In the end, they ranked tenth in the league and became the biggest dark horse that year.Paul Jewell was also elected Premier League Manager of the Year.

However, the prosperity of rushing to the Premier League in the first year was only a flash in the pan, because the club could not spend a lot of money to sign in, and the team's strength was limited. Let the aspiring Paul Jewell criticize the club.

Jewell believes that only by giving himself sufficient funds to buy the players he wants, then Wigan Athletic will not be relegated every year.

So in view of this, Jewell has a "sour grapes" mentality towards Manchester City, which has invested 1800 million pounds this season.

Although he didn't say anything on the surface, Jewel had already invested heavily in Manchester City but was still complacent about the end of relegation.

Wigan Athletic's style is unique in the Premier League. This is a team that advocates offense, but the state is not so stable.They can fight against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge without losing the wind; they can also suffer a nine-game losing streak in the league.

Manchester City has recently changed coaches, while Wigan Athletic has won two consecutive victories, so it is generally predicted that Jewell's team is very likely to take three points from the city stadium.

Of course, this cannot be done without the insider information and fanning the flames from the "Manchester Times" reporter Jonny.

After the start of the game, the goddess of luck obviously favored Wigan Athletic very much.Just after 1 minute in the first half, midfielder Reina took the ball straight, trying to find Andy Cole.

But the Wigan Athletic midfielder saw Reina's intention to pass the ball, and he easily took the football and passed it to his own striker Heskey.After Heskey got the ball, he forcefully squeezed Thatcher away who was defending him, inserted into the ribs of Manchester City's penalty area and shot hard, and the football rushed into the far corner of the goal with a whistling sound.

"1:0, Wigan Athletic takes the lead away!"

Jewel, nicknamed "Little Madman", was very happy. He ran more than 50 meters along the sideline to hug Hesky who scored the goal.

However, the location chosen by Jewell was not quite right. They happened to be standing under the stands of Manchester City fans, accompanied by their celebrations, as well as peels, plastic shells, key chains, hats... and other sundries thrown from the stands.

The sharp-eyed Duncan even saw a brand new IPHONE landed at Jewel's feet...

"Duncan lost the ball in the opening game, and Duncan couldn't sit still. He walked to the sidelines and planned to make a change. After all, this is his first game. Let's see his arrangement...Huh, what does he mean? Give the ball to the Samaras?" The commentator of Sky TV was a little confused: "But Samaras is obviously not a good option. The Greek striker has scored 0 goals so far this season, and his state is extremely sluggish. Duncan chooses Samara at this time Lars, I'm afraid I made a wrong bet?"

The commentator next to him also laughed: "I heard that the person Samaras has the best relationship with in the Manchester City team is No. [-] goalkeeper Weaver. Against Samaras' group, Weaver kept clean sheets."

After speaking, the guests and the commentator looked at each other, and they both laughed at the same time.

As the two talked, the cameraman gave Duncan a shot at the right time.But under the cover of the sunglasses, no one could see Duncan's expression clearly, and no one knew what Duncan was thinking at this moment.

While the commentator and guest commentator were joking, Manchester City had already re-kicked off and planned an attack.

It has to be said that compared to the hesitation shown by the coaches on the tactics, the Manchester City players implemented the tactics, but they were unambiguous and vigorous.

On the first day Duncan took office, he dared to kick Cordella, the biggest player, to the reserve team.

This move has erected incomparable authority in the hearts of the players.Even if Duncan ordered them to kick the ball into their own goal at this time, I believe they would do so without thinking.

Manchester City midfielder Mido took the ball in the middle circle. At this time, Samaras and Andy Cole were still far away. He couldn't pass the ball, and he didn't have a supporting partner around him. Mido could only protect the football by himself.

Two players from Wigan Athletic, tandem together, intending to break the football.Mi Duo, who was a little panicked, remembered that the loss of the ball just started from himself, and kicked the ball hastily, and the football went straight to the left line.Wigan's left midfielder saw that he couldn't catch up, so he gave up chasing. Anyway, it was a throw-in by his side.

At this moment, a blue figure came out, striding towards the football that was about to cross the baseline, while speeding up, it also passed Wigan's winger.

"What a speed! It's Trabelsi!"

"Ah... kong... vacancy! Opportunity!!" The commentator, who hadn't stopped laughing, quickly turned his attention back to the field.
