football dynasty

In fact, Mancini's thinking is not wrong, nor is his tactics wrong.

The only thing wrong is that he misassessed both sides.

First, Mancini attaches great importance to this game. From his frequent shootings at Levi in ​​front of the media, we can know that Mancini has a perverted desire for victory in this game.But Mancini has a perverted desire to win. Do his players have such a desire?

You must know that in the current Manchester City team, there are many old teams of Li Wei.

Some of them, like Alves and Adler, couldn't stand the team's loss of all four players and chose to leave, but there were also many people who stayed.

Some of these people who choose to stay are because they have not found a suitable club, and some are satisfied with the high salary of Manchester City, but they all have one thing in common, their own will is not strong enough.In addition, it is Li Wei who is facing each other, so it is naturally difficult to give birth to the idea of ​​fighting the opponent.

This is not the case for Liverpool. Under the encouragement of Levi, all Liverpool players have a unified concept of this game. This is a war that has nothing to do with life and death, but is higher than life and death!Soccer Wars!

One side just plays football with the mentality of satisfying work, while the other side plays football with the mentality that is more important than life and death.

How can Manchester City players beat Liverpool?
Second, the problem of execution ability.

Under Li Wei's iron fist, no Liverpool player dared to rebel.For all his confidence, Gerrard is a club-focused player.So now the tactical execution of this Liverpool team is very strong, even if the football is not passed to the position, there must be no shortage of running.

On the contrary, Manchester City's players are uncles.

They're being paid well and they're running around the field like Liverpool, don't even think about it.

This also led to the fact that although Mancini had arranged the task, when it came time to defend, the players did not perform the task with all their strength, and they all performed it at a discount.

The worst thing is that some players just want to perform when they want to attack, and let them do the dirty work of defense, one by one is not happy.

So Manchester City obviously had more players than Liverpool in the half, but when Liverpool attacked, it always gave people the illusion that Liverpool played more and played less, because Manchester City's players were unwilling to run.

You must know that when Liverpool is defending, even the forwards have to come back.

Why would Levi prefer to put Torres on the bench instead of using him?Is it because Torres is going to transfer?Is it because Torres is still injured?

These are all reasons, but there is another important reason, Torres is not willing to come back to help defense.The current Torres is a football superstar, a goal-scoring star, and he even won a World Cup in the past July.You let him run around and do the dirty work, Torres wouldn't like it.

Such a situation in Manchester City is not a problem of one person, but a problem of a large number of people.The goal scorer is unwilling to participate in the defense, of course, the eye defense is an exception.

The third question, Mancini wants to learn from young people in Berne.

At the beginning, the young people of Bern beat Liverpool 3:1 at home, and they also played 4-5-1.The problem that Liverpool was upset was not because the young people in Bern were so good, but because the field was too bad. It was actually artificial turf, which made mistakes for a team like Liverpool, which uses passing as the main means of attack, to make frequent mistakes.

In the second half, Li Wei abandoned the ground pass and played a long pass instead. The situation changed immediately. For this reason, Liverpool only scored a goal in the second half.

Mancini didn't know this because he watched the video.At first glance with Li Wei, it was difficult to find that it was artificial turf when watching the video, and he instinctively regarded the green as natural turf.

Mancini naively believed that the formation of young people in Bern restrained Liverpool.

If Levi was asked to comment on Mancini's tactics, he would only use four words to describe them - talk on paper!
Zhao Kuo, the protagonist of this idiom in history, used his life to explain how terrible the consequences of these four words would be.

…………

The game restarted, and Manchester City's players panicked. Three minutes ago, they were scored by the opponent just after the kick-off.

Liverpool's players looked confident and did not make a big push. Three days later, they had to face the Bernese youngsters at home. They had to save some energy and slaughtered these Swiss soil turtles then!
Of course, apart from saving energy for the midweek UEFA Champions League qualifying match, there is another important reason. Liverpool has a goal in hand, and they are not afraid that Mancini's Manchester City will not score, not to mention that Manchester City is not very patient. team.They are not like Juventus, who suddenly hit you in a slow pace and caught you off guard.

Sure enough, as Li Wei expected, within 3 minutes, the Manchester City players couldn't hold back.

They dropped the ball and started trying to attack.

But their attack was useless, and the ball was soon cut off by Tevez's feet and Mangala, who immediately passed the ball to Gerrard's feet.

Gerrard is now the brains of Liverpool's midfield, and he would have liked to launch a counterattack.But Manchester City, as the team that Levi once coached, is not useless. After all, they know how powerful Levi's quick counterattack is. Besides, they have suffered a loss just now. If they are not vigilant, it will be too rubbish.The City players backed away quickly and didn't give Gerrard a good chance to fight back.

Do you just think that this can prevent Liverpool's offense?
Gerrard sneered in his heart, he didn't attack by force, he passed the ball to Yaya Toure, and Yaya Toure pushed forward slowly with the ball, when encountering greater resistance, he immediately passed the ball back behind him, and then Jie Ladd transitioned the football to the other side, so patiently attacking repeatedly.

Manchester City's players didn't have such patience. Gradually, some players couldn't hold back and ran out to press.

And that's what Liverpool want to see.

Liverpool immediately looked like a sophisticated war machine, and all the players ran.

Manchester City's rhythm was immediately disrupted. They didn't know who to defend or how to run.Before they could readjust, Liverpool scored again!

…………

It was a typical Liverpool goal, with all the Liverpool players running and tearing City's formation apart, Nainggolan gave the ball to Stefan Lichtsteiner who went forward because of Liverpool's previous run , has left Manchester City's wing empty.

Stefan Lichtsteiner puts a long ball in the middle.

After Dirk Driven nodded and hammered the goal, Reina flew to save, but the football did not fly far.Yaya Toure, who was already in place, volleyed from twelve yards.

Kompany made an interception, the ball hit his calf, but it was useless, the shot was still within the frame.

Reina was still struggling to get up near the goal line at this time, and before he could stand still, the football had already flown into the net.

Yaya Toure is very happy, not only because he scored his first Premier League goal, but also because of Levi's release of him.At Barcelona, ​​Yaya Toure was often used as a defensive midfielder.

In fact, Barcelona does not need his offensive talent in terms of offense. There are Harvey and Iniesta in the midfield, and Messi and Ibrahimovic on the front line.

After arriving at Liverpool, Levi redefines Yaya Toure's midfield position immediately. Although he plays the position of the midfielder, he is not only defensive, he also needs to be added to the offense, and even the game There are also occasional guest appearances in the mission of the organization.

Yaya Toure is like a free man in the midfield, often performing brilliantly.

The Ivorians like to play under this definition.

He ran to the sidelines and wanted to celebrate the goal with Levi, but Levi saw Yaya Toure running up, waved him, and ran away.

Yaya Toure was a little dazed.

Gerrard came over and hugged Yaya Toure's shoulders, and said to him: "The boss once coached Manchester City, and he didn't do any celebrations for the goal just now."
