Football Legend No. 13

Following.

After learning that captain Kompany would miss a number of games due to injury.

A cloud hangs over Manchester.

This is a pressure for Zheng Lin, the team's main central defender is out due to injury, which is a lot of pressure for the midfielders in front of him.

There is pressure and motivation, and after a night of "special training", Zheng Lin found that he still had some transformations.

The sense of position is better, and in the small-scale confrontation, Pellegrini, who is watching the battle, also notices.

It was a surprise and an idea came to Pellegrini's mind.

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

That should be possible.

Back waist, Fernandinho can be competent, it's up to Zheng Lin!

"In that case, why don't you wait to give it a try?"

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

............

Eventually, he came to a conclusion that he thought was somewhat outrageous.

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

Although he is slightly immature, he has just played up, and the future is promising!

He was a little curious that Zheng Lin made contact in this way, and this sense of position could not be grasped by practice.

From the previous game, his positional sense is not good, but in the current training, the improvement is not obvious, especially when defending, it is even more clean.

It's like changing someone.

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 point of view of the game, his dominant foot is his right foot, although his left foot can also pass the ball well, but it is not like now, he can dribble the ball with his left foot and then advance.

At the same time, the organization carried out in the promotion also made Pellegrini a little refreshed, but he found a problem, Zheng Lin's organization at this time looks like which of the previous Real Madrid backs - Redondo.

Is this deliberate learning?

If so, Pellegrini wanted to go and talk to him, a young man does not need to limit himself to death so much!

Too many restrictions will affect your ability to innovate!

For Pellegrini, he now needs to study how to use Zheng Lin, and if he is finally allowed to develop like Redondo, he feels that there is no need for it, and he hopes that every new person can be called a special self.

Everyone is an independent person, and independent people do not need to want to be the next whom!

............

The next rounds are a league game away to Cardiff City on 25 August, Hull City on 31 August and Stoke City on 14 September.

One of the most important is the Manchester City derby on September 22, which is a game that cannot be lost, and as a new Manchester City man, Zheng Lin does not want to lose to opponents in the game of the same city rival.

There was also a Champions League group stage on September 18, against Plzeň Forest, a team from the Czech First Division, this opponent is average, but in order to qualify, Manchester City have to win as much as possible, after all, there is the king of the Bundesliga - Bayern Munich.

This is a familiar opponent; It can't be said to be a familiar opponent, after all, Zheng Lin's first game in the five major leagues is against Bayern Munich.

After moving to Manchester City, he once again has the opportunity to face Bayern Munich directly, and this is the time for him to take revenge!

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

Time passes.

Manchester City due to the lack of Kompany's presence, the entire back line is a certain degree of synergy, which is not a problem that Zheng Lin and Fernandinho can solve by playing as a double back, they can solve some problems.

So it was also Manchester City who lost the game against Cardiff City by one goal.

After winning the home game against Hull City and drawing again away to Stoke City, City have only seven points after these four matches.

In these games, Zheng Lin took out his training results on the legendary training ground, giving fans and coaching staff what they saw was excellent back defense and organizational skills, excellent positional sense, fast ball speed and accurate passing.

In three consecutive games, Zheng Lin completed the most passes: 104, accurate passes: 97, long passes: 5 possession.

As for the shot, not once, in order to ensure the stability of the defense, since the game against Cardiff City, Zheng Lin has remained in the midfield, after all, the second game was due to his forward insertion did not return in time and formed the last goal conceded, which is quite blamed for Zheng Lin.

After four rounds, the top of the Premier League is Liverpool with 10 points, the legendary four-mad Arsenal with 9 points, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City at the same time 7 points, at this time the most fierce ranking battle has begun.

All three teams are seven points, while Manchester City and Manchester United will face each other on September 22 to determine the winner, and if they win, there will be a difference of six points.

For Manchester City, who are aiming for the title, this is the perfect time to open up points with their rivals!

And Manchester United, the city's sworn enemy, also wants to take Manchester City, as Manchester United has been suppressing the blue moon in Manchester, there has been a saying before, "Manchester's sky is red!" For

such a statement, Manchester City fans do not agree, how can the team have not had good results before, since the local tycoons in the Middle East came, this is the prelude to the club to take off.

Although they are still staring at the title of an upstart, they believe that as long as they win more and more championships, then they are a new big club!

As the day draws closer to 22 September, the confrontation on the streets of Manchester is getting heavier, and fans in red Manchester United shirts can often be seen "spraying" with Manchester City fans.

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

City still have a Champions League group game ahead of them, as do Manchester United, whose first group game is against Zheng Lin's former club, Bayer Leverkusen.

Manchester United will be in a better situation than Manchester City in that they are sitting at home to face the challenger Bayer Leverkusen, while Manchester City are away to face Plzen Victory.

This trip is somewhat unfavorable for Manchester City, although it is home to Manchester United, in fact, it is also a leisure for Manchester United, and their preparation time will be more sufficient.

These are things that need to be taken into account for Pellegrini, the back-and-forth formation has an impact on the formation of the team, so they will only be able to start recovery training to ensure the players' form after returning to Manchester after the Champions League group stage.

Against Plzeň Victory in the Czech First Division, Manchester City scored three goals to win the match, while city rivals Manchester United won the game 4-2.

After the game, the focus of both sides was on the Manchester City derby on the 22nd, a game that would determine the course of the entire season.
