king of world football

"What do you think of the technical level of these players?" Guardiola asked assistant coach Brian Kidd after training.

The assistant who has followed Guashuai for many years touched the back of his head: "There are some good and bad, and most players don't seem to have much understanding of the essence of passing."

"This is exactly the meaning of our existence, to let the players understand what pass control is and how to pass control."

"The times are constantly improving, and the techniques and tactics we used in the past also need to be continuously improved." Guardiola said with emotion.

"However, Wang Feng performed very well. I heard that he came to the base a week in advance for recovery training."

"Now he has adjusted his physical condition to the best. According to the team doctor, he can directly participate in the official game at any time, which is really worry-free."

The Spaniard nodded, "De Bruyne and Gundogan's performance is also impressive enough, maybe we can really consider more in the new season."

After a period of passing training, Guardiola arranged physical training. According to him, players must first find the ball feel, and then talk about improving their competitive ability.

Wang Feng was surprised by this, but not surprised. Every coach has his own unique training methods and training strategies.

In addition to practical operations, the coaching staff will also take time every day to instill ball control and running tactics. The main teaching material is past game videos.

Many of the materials are the matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid and Bayern. During the first explanation, Manchester City players glanced at Guardiola and Wang Feng with strange eyes.

The Spaniard coughed twice without changing his face: "I don't think the loss of the game means that the tactics are all wrong. On the contrary, there may be many bright spots and places worth explaining."

.........

The opening game of the Premier League started much earlier than La Liga. On August 2016, 8, Manchester City faced Sunderland in the first round at home.

This is the first official match of Wang Feng joining the club. The Intihad Stadium is almost full, and most of the fans want to see the king's demeanor.

Guardiola played an unusual four-two-three formation in this game, with goalkeeper Bravo.

The back four are Sabaletta, Otamendi, Stones and Clichy.

Double defensive midfielder Fernando, Fernandinho, three forwards Sterling, David Silva, Wang Feng.

Single center Aguero.

The new aid is not used much, including De Bruyne, Gundogan, Sane and other young leaders are placed on the bench.

The opponent, Sunderland, was once one of the top clubs in England. It is located on the banks of the Weir River in the north, and it is a deadly rival in the same area as Newcastle United.

But the last time they won the top league championship was more than 70 years ago, and now they are always on the verge of relegation.

It is not difficult for Manchester City to get a good start from them.

"...Last season, Manchester City's record was still tepid. The fourth place in the league barely got the Champions League play-off place. reconstruction."

When the game was about to start, the commentary in the live broadcast room was looking ahead.

"Spend nearly [-] million pounds to arm the team, and invited the famous coach Pep Guardiola and the football god Wang Feng. Now Manchester City is star-studded, whether they are starting or substituting. I believe their ambitions are very big."

"This game will be the best opportunity to test the quality of the team."

The two sides stood in the player tunnel waiting to play, Wang Feng stretched his body relaxedly, and the Sunderland players beside him stared at him with inexplicable eyes, mixed with complex emotions of excitement, excitement, vigilance, joy and even admiration.

After all, if it weren't for the transfer of Chinese superstars to the Premier League, most of them would hardly have any intersection with this football legend.

Wang Feng has long been accustomed to this. He stared at the light ahead, and he couldn't wait to start his Premier League journey in his mind.

.........

After the opening, the home team quickly suppressed the guest team to occupy possession and advantage. After a period of training, this Manchester City team faintly showed the shadow of passing football.

Wang Feng silently felt the new rhythm and tactics, and constantly combined the knowledge emphasized by Guardiola in his mind. In his eyes, the football field was divided into different areas.

Each regional head coach will make detailed arrangements, and the Chinese superstar will play the most flexible offensive core role.

Under his smart running position, every position on the court can maintain the overall pass flow, so that the opponent's defense is always passive until there is an empty space.

At the same time, regional division can also produce local numerical advantages. With clear position guidance, it is easy for players to form a situation where more players play less.

Of course, the running position in the pass-and-control tactics is obviously different from the previous Wang Feng cruising around the court to open up space to create opportunities. It is more purposeful, less intense, and relatively less threatening.

If the Chinese superstar is five years younger, he still prefers to take the initiative, but now Guardiola's tactics are obviously more suitable.

In the 21st minute, Fernandinho dribbled the ball to the right rib area of ​​the frontcourt, slanting towards Wang Feng, who then moved laterally and cut inward, leading away two defensive players.

Nearby, Silva took the opportunity to run to the side. After receiving the pass, he passed it directly to the Chinese superstar at the front of the penalty area. Wang Feng kept pushing the ball with his left foot and sent it to Fernandinho who was going forward.

The consecutive triangular diagonal passes successfully broke through the visiting team's defense, which is closely related to their local three-on-two advantage in the right rib.

Whether Wang Feng suddenly moves in the middle, Silva runs empty from the side, or Fernandinho advances forward, they all reflect the essence of pass control.

Brazil's midfielder made a pass, and Aguero headed the goal in the small penalty area, scoring the first goal of the new season for Manchester City.

After taking the lead, the home team still maintained its own offensive rhythm. After 15 minutes, Otamendi moved to Sterling's feet in a wide range.

The England striker broke through the Sunderland defense and entered the penalty area. Aguero rushed to the front in the middle area, and Wang Feng on the other side also ran to the top of the arc to wait for an opportunity.

Sterling tried to make a pass from the bottom, but the opponent's tightness caused the pass line to be narrow, so he stopped suddenly and kicked back the Chinese superstar.

Wang Feng stopped the ball and wiped past the Sunderland central defender, then sent a pocket shot with his right foot. The ball drew a wonderful arc in the air, passed the palm of the goalkeeper and entered the net from the upper right corner.

"goooooooooooooooooooooooal! The goal has been scored! Wang Feng's first goal for joining Manchester City has finally arrived!"

"The score on the field expanded to 2:0! The Chinese superstar's foot skills and shooting are still extremely sharp! He passed the defender with ease, raised his legs on the spot, and the ball almost entered the net from a dead corner!"

"This is the power of a superstar!"

In the 69th minute of the easy side battle, Manchester City scored the third goal to seal the victory.

This was an opportunity to set the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Wang Feng took the penalty and dropped it into the penalty area and sent it to the back point accurately.

3:0!Blue Moon made a good start!
