Chapter 232 Why Is It You Again?
The tenacity of West Brom's defense and shameless strategy on the field far exceeded Guardiola's expectations.However, these did not affect Guardiola's confidence in winning the game.

The reason why he felt a little surprised was that the West Brom team often played offensive football in the previous games, which affected his prediction of this game.However, as a world-class coach, he will have sufficient plans for any game situation.

And many of these plans have already been drilled in normal training, so Guardiola does not need to give instructions on the field at all, and his players will make corresponding tactical adjustments according to the situation.

Sure enough, after the Manchester City players on the field realized that it was difficult to break through West Brom's defense by conventional means, they began to make tactical adjustments on their own.

Manchester City's tactical adjustments have not changed much on the surface, but there are some changes in some aspects.The focus of their tactical adjustments is actually to turn to making fouls or winning corner kicks, and then implementing set-piece tactics.

You must know that Manchester City's set-piece tactics are also very characteristic.Manchester City's set-piece tactics rely on player selection and mutual cover between players.In the past, many of Manchester City's set-piece goals were achieved by this.

Manchester City's tactics are actually quite difficult to defend, and West Brom cannot prevent Manchester City from creating such opportunities.

Because the personal abilities of Manchester City's frontcourt players are too strong.Whether it is Aguero, De Bruyne, or Sterling, these people are all top ball-handling and extraordinary players.If you are not careful when defending them, you will get fouled.

Since Manchester City changed their tactics, they really got a lot of set-piece opportunities.And this made them a constant threat to West Brom's goal.

While threats are constantly increasing, opportunities are also constantly emerging.But for Manchester City, the effect is still not ideal.Manchester City's height really has no advantage, especially their strikers are disadvantaged in height.Facing the West Brom team, whose average height exceeds 182cm and is relatively good at defending against high-altitude balls, Manchester City's set-piece tactics cannot produce the desired effect.

Although the effect is not ideal, it also put a lot of pressure on West Brom's defense.Especially when Manchester City has the initiative and continues to create threats.

I know that my strength is far inferior to that of the opponent. Once the defensive pressure starts to increase, many people in the West Brom team will start to feel nervous.

This situation does not seem to be too dangerous for the time being, but if it takes a long time, West Brom's confidence in this game will definitely be dampened.Once the defensive effect declines, being scored is a matter of minutes.

As an old fox in anti-rebellion, Puliss naturally quickly discovered the hidden crisis here.He came to the sidelines and shouted to the players to pay attention to reduce fouls.It's just that besides doing this, he has no better way to change the situation.

Under the call of Pulis, Yang Daye also realized this problem.But he is only a player whose strength can be regarded as light gold at most. He is not Melo, and he does not have the ability to twist the situation.

Yang Daye understood that he did not have the ability to resolve the team's crisis.But he remembered that he had to do something.

He is an offensive player, but in this game, he is destined to be unable to do more than play a certain role in counterattacks.Seeing that his side might be suppressed physically and psychologically, Yang Daye simply gave up the attack that had few chances.Began to fully participate in the defense.

Yang Daye also knew that his defensive ability could not be compared with regular defensive players, so he decided to use his running ability to help his teammates.

Yang Daye began to run continuously, and he would appear quickly wherever there was danger.He is no longer limited to the right side. Once there is danger in the center or even the left side, he will rush to help defend with all his strength.

His defensive ability is not strong, and his interception ability is also very poor.However, his timely appearance can often help his teammates stabilize their defensive position.After all, the defense of one more person will definitely limit the attacker's confidence and offensive threat.

In this way, in the next game, whether it was teammates or opponents, they suddenly found that Yang Daye seemed to be everywhere.

As a right winger, Yang Daye's actions are almost equivalent to giving up the offensive task, and even affect the formation of the entire team.But it is a great help to the West Brom team who are under siege.

Seeing Yang Daye running around, Pulis frowned.However, after seeing Yang Daye's assistance in defense made the West Brom team's defense more stable, Pulis did not blame Yang Daye for giving up the offensive task without authorization.

After all, for the West Brom team, whose goal is only to stick to the penalty kick, avoiding being continuously threatened to form a goal is the most important thing.

And Pulis soon found that his choice of letting Yang Daye go was the right one.

No. At 206 minutes, after continuous efforts, Manchester City finally played an excellent penetration.Aguero ran into a gap in the penalty area and got a pass from De Bruyne, and he made a slight adjustment and immediately kicked the goal.

But just when he was confident that this shot was likely to bring a goal, a figure suddenly fell to the ground and stepped out to block his shot.

"Wow~ hey!!!" There was a voice of regret over the Etihad Stadium.

"Who? Who stopped Aguero from scoring such a good chance?"

Aguero also wondered who spoiled his own good scoring chance.

"Hey, it turned out to be you. China Yang."

Aguero was surprised after seeing the person who was blocking the ball on the ground.In his imagination, it would be a defender who destroyed his shot, and it is very likely that Evans, the core defender of the West Brom team.But he really didn't expect it to be Yang Daye.

"Aren't you a striker?" In Aguero's impression, Yang Daye, who has a chance to win the scorer list in the FA Cup, must be an offensive killer who is always in ambush in the opponent's penalty area and ready for a fatal blow.

"As long as the team needs it, I will come back and defend."

After Yang Daye got up, he said frankly.After finishing speaking, he ignored it and began to observe the position, preparing to defend Manchester City's next corner kick with his teammates.

Aguero couldn't help but look at Yang Daye more, and then ran to take a corner kick.And the corner kick he took was quickly pushed out of the penalty area by the West Brom players who had the dominant height.When the ball was hoisted into the penalty area by Manchester City, it was immediately cleared by the defender of West Brom.

Manchester City had to start to reorganize their offense again, patiently looking for opportunities.

After a patient build-up, City got another chance.

This time, it was Sterling who relied on his personal ability to pass the ball in an inverted triangle to Aguero who came to the left.After Aguero got the ball, he slammed Evans away with a dunk.

But just when Aguero swayed his position and hit the ball with his kick, a figure who quickly crossed over blocked his shot again.

Seeing that the blocked ball was then cleared by the rest of the West Brom team, Aguero turned his head a little depressed. He wanted to see who destroyed his shot again this time.But when he saw Yang Daye who got up from the ground, he couldn't help but wondered: "Why are you again? Why are you everywhere?"

"As long as the team needs me, I will appear anywhere." Yang Daye replied seriously.At this moment, he has completely regarded himself as a defensive player.
