my team is going to attack

Chapter 158 The Cunning Guy

Benitez returned to the most familiar place, pulled back a victory, increased his points by three points, and temporarily ranked second in the group. Su Bai's Manchester City still ranked first with 9 points.

Immediately afterwards, Su Bai started the No.11 round of the Premier League non-stop, with a semi-main lineup, and scored three points 1-0 in the away game. Bell kicked a free kick, which added luster to this slightly dull game.

Manchester United also won the Wolves, and did not drop the line, but the London duo shut themselves out collectively in this round.

Arsenal lost 1-0 at home to the newly promoted Newcastle. High center forward Carroll scored the only goal of the game. The Magpies are in good and bad form, but it seems that when he returns to the Premier League, he still needs time to adapt .

And Liverpool, who sits at Anfield, actually won Chelsea.

In the first 11 minutes of the game, Liverpool took the lead. Dirk Dirk traveled past John Terry, and Torres scored with a single-handed shot from 8 yards on the right side of the penalty area.Then before the end of the first half, it was still Torres, and Meirelles quickly found Torres after stealing Ashley Cole in the frontcourt, facing Ivanovic from 15 yards on the left side of the penalty area and entering the far corner.

Torres, or Torres, in recent years, in the matches between Liverpool and Chelsea, Torres has played an extremely important role, scoring many times the gate guarded by Petr Cech.

Abramovich, who appeared at Anfield today, saw that Torres was in Chelsea's backcourt like wind and rain, as if he was in no one's land, his eyes flickered, and he jokingly asked Henry, the new Liverpool boss, "Is this Torres?" Very strong, I don’t know if we can give it to Chelsea, the price is not a problem.”

Henry smiled happily, "Roman, this is not for sale in our team, besides, it's still very early before the transfer period."

Abu also laughed when he heard it, "Yes, it's still early."

Of course Abu understood what the other party meant, "not for sale", doesn't it mean that the price is not enough?And Chelsea has not yet made an offer, but Henry also used this answer, telling Abramovich that the money is in place, and everything is easy to say.

He is very satisfied with this result, but he forgot to discuss it with coach Ancelotti, which will cause trouble soon.

Arsenal and Chelsea lost at the same time. Su Bai and Ferguson were the happiest. In this way, Manchester City ranked first with 11 wins and 10 loss in 1 rounds with 30 points, while Chelsea had 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. By 25 points, there are already two league games away from Manchester City.

Manchester United scored 6 points with 5 wins and 23 draws. It is also the only team that has not lost since the start of the Premier League.Wenger's Arsenal scored 6 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, scoring 20 points, and there is a big gap from the top Manchester City.

Manchester City's performance in the league this season is really convincing. Although they lost a game to Arsenal, it does not affect the Premier League fans' pursuit of Manchester City. His games are very attractive to neutral fans. The average minimum consumption per round is more than two goals.

The offensive and defensive transitions of the Premier League teams are fast, and Manchester City is one of the best.It can be seen directly from the ticket revenue of the home court that Manchester City's season tickets for this season have been sold out, and in each round of home games, the attendance rate of the entire city stadium has reached more than 90.00%. This is the average number.It is the best-selling club in the Premier League, bar none.

Not only did his own home game tickets sell well, even away games, Manchester City's games could attract many fans to watch.

In such a scene, the owners of the small clubs are very happy. Although their team lost, they made money.

While Su Bai and his wife got bored, they started the next round of the match. The opponent was Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United, the first Manchester derby of the season.

If it was two years ago, the Manchester Derby was nothing to watch. The strength of Manchester United is much stronger than that of Manchester City, but since last season, that is, after Su Bai took office, the strength of Manchester City and Manchester United has been very strong. Close, and even this season, Manchester City are in better shape than Manchester United.

Only such a derby can attract the attention of the audience.

The confrontation between the upstarts and the kings, the contest between the young and the old, with red and blue contrasting each other, this will definitely be the most eye-catching game in the first half of the season.

Sky Sports has invited David Beckham, who is recuperating at home, and former Manchester City coach Pierce to discuss the upcoming Manchester derby.

Beckham won’t say anything. Not all the fans may know this person, but Pierce was Su Bai’s guide back then. Although he didn’t stay in Manchester City for a long time, he should know Su Bai very well. .

"Let's ask Mr. Pierce first," the beautiful host of Sky Sports scratched his head and posed for the camera, "What did you think back then, to introduce the young and inexperienced Su Bai into Manchester City's youth training camp? You must know that many clubs gave up on Su Bai back then, and only you kept him."

"Haha, I can only say that this is fate." Pierce had a good career as a player, but after retiring, he became a lot worse as a head coach. Now he is only leading the U12 of the England national team, but because of the introduction of Su Bai to Manchester City, it is absolutely It's one of the things he's most proud of.

"When Su Bai came to our Manchester City to apply for a job, other people didn't agree to keep him. I happened to be there. I don't know what to think. Anyway, I think he is very confident and wise. He speaks very well. The future is also very planned.”

Pierce recalled, "Of course, it was his very detailed youth training system that made me decide. Manchester City is still using that system. At that time, I felt that I must give him a chance, and everyone saw it. First Not to mention that Su Bai is currently leading Manchester City to the top of the league table, and also leading the team to the Champions League for the first time, it seems that there is no problem in entering the knockout round."

The host smiled and asked, "Then what aspect do you think Su Bai is the best at?"

"Of course it's his eyes." Pierce didn't even have to think about it. "I don't even know why his eyes are so vicious. I used to see him always running to various European countries, but everyone saw it. The little boy he brought back The talent of the players is top notch."

"That's right." The host also nodded, with big waves shaking his long hair, "Su Bai's vision is recognized by everyone." She looked at the handsome guy next to her, "David, what was your first impression of Su Bai? "

Beckham smiled brightly, "Well, let me think about it." After thinking for a while, "I remember around 2000, our training ground included the training ground of the youth team. At that time, there would always be a young man. He often came to our public training, and later Alex would sometimes call him over for a chat. Only then did I know that this young Chinese was the youth team coach of Manchester City next door. Why is Alex so nice to him."

Shrugging, Beckham said, "Now I know."

"It's very comfortable to chat with him. Su Bai is very familiar with us, and he feels like Pierce to us. He is very wise, talks well, and has a good eye. He gives us a lot of advice and gives me It feels like he knows everything."

"It's amazing."

"Then let's talk about the next game," the host turned the topic back to today's core, "Who do you think will win the Manchester Derby? David, you go first."

"Manchester United, that's for sure."

"Then Pierce must support Manchester City?"

The latter nodded.

"David, tell us what you think about this game?"

"Recently, Manchester United has won six consecutive victories in all competitions and got rid of the trouble of a draw at the beginning of the season. After Rooney renewed his contract, his state is also recovering. Coupled with Ferguson and scheduling, I believe Manchester United will win."

As soon as Beckham finished speaking, Pierce next to him said, "I believe that Manchester City will win at home. Hart and Milner did not play because of the suspension. They will all come back this round. In terms of physical strength, they will definitely win." Ibrahimovic has an advantage, and Ibrahimovic who just came to the Premier League scored a lot of goals. I don’t think Manchester United’s defense can withstand the impact of Ibrahimovic and Bale. The double midfielders of Cambiasso and Milner The combination is already one of the toughest defensive midfielders in Europe, and it has been verified in more than ten games. It is too difficult for Manchester United to surpass them."

"But we saw that in the first two games, Manchester City's state was very average," Beckham retorted. "Now Manchester City is fighting on four fronts. I think it is difficult for them to adapt to such frequent games for the time being."

"It's the same with Manchester United, four competitions are being played."

"But Manchester United are used to this kind of operation, and they are much more experienced than Manchester City."

"Last season, Manchester City played on the third line and almost won the Triple Crown. The only thing missing is the league. All Su Bai has the absolute ability to fight on the fourth line. Besides, Manchester City's players are not in bad condition now, only one of them is injured. Silva, I heard that he will be able to return to the team training soon, not to mention Kaka and Santa Cruz have been back in the team for a while, they can bring more options to Manchester City."

This makes it difficult for Beckham to refute. In addition, the current lineup of Manchester United is much worse than that of Manchester City. The old ones are old and the young ones are small. There are not many of them in their playing years. In his heart, Beckham also feels that Manchester City may win, but there are always miracles in the team led by Ferguson, so he does not admit defeat, "Last season, Ferguson won Su Bai three times and has the advantage. I think this time, Alex is mentally It's very dominant."

"Just kidding," Pierce dismissed, "You also said that Su Bai's mental ability is very strong, how could it be affected by last season, besides, this season Manchester City has a more complete and stronger lineup than last season. Manchester United is fine."

Not to mention that the two of them pinched each other on the show, Ferguson also took the time to accept interviews from the media.

"Manchester City is indeed a bit stronger this season than last season, and Su Bai has led the team more steadily. Their players are well equipped, experienced, young and strong, and the spirit is compelling. The age of the team is well connected. Very good, it can be seen that Su Bai has put a lot of effort into the players, but I have to say that he is really wasting some talent."

"Their young center, Lewandowski, is no worse than Ibrahimovic in my opinion, but he can only be the second center in Manchester City, and rarely has the opportunity to play in the league and the Champions League. Royce is also, his ability is not worse than Joe's. - How much worse is Cole, and he can secure a starting position, but in Manchester City, they can only be a substitute, which is too unfair to them."

"If they can come to Manchester United, they will definitely be the starters. It is the same with any team. Only staying in Manchester City, they have the same position and players with similar strength, which makes them very young. It's hard to have a chance to start, I think Su Bai should let them go, what Lewandowski and the others need most now is game experience."

Ferguson's words were very embarrassing. Everyone wanted to ask Su Bai what he meant, but they didn't want Su Bai to ignore them at all, and asked the team members not to talk casually in the media.

Su Bai understands what Ferguson wants to do. Of course, this is also something he is very worried about. It can only be said that the pressure will last for a few years. Maybe next season Lewandowski, Royce and others will have asked for.

But Su Bai is still very confident to keep them, so he is not in a hurry, nor is he in a hurry.

Besides, the most important thing now is the team's training and family.

After Kaka's return, he hasn't played for half a month. Su Bai has been training the tacit understanding and position between him and the starting players. Su Bai has set him a free man in the frontcourt. If you buy one Kaka, you must have one less person.

Take Joe Cole and let Kaka go to the right, but he is not necessarily fixed on the right, depending on the situation on the field, but Rakitic is still doing the offensive organization in the frontcourt, but his The position could be a bit further back, it looks like a 4-2-1-3, with Cambiasso and Milner defending the midfielder, and Rakitic in front of them, and then forward the ball to Bale or Kaka, Ibrahimovic.

This is also because Bell and Kaka are all-rounders in the frontcourt. No matter which position they are in front of, both of them can adapt and may often exchange positions. Speed ​​wins, and the dribbling is a bit wide open. If they take turns to attack, Su Bai doesn't believe that any team can always defend.

Also, if they want to run long distances, the speed of the two can keep up, and they don't need to fight alone. Of course, Su Bai has always emphasized that they should seldom attack in this way.

The requirements for Rakitic are very high, and his ability to deal cards largely determines the efficiency of Manchester City's offense. In this position, Su Bai believes that the best player currently is Pirlo, not Iniesta and Harvey That kind, but the type of attacking midfielder of Pirlo and Albertini.

Players' vision and passing ability are very demanding. Whether Rakitic can do it at this stage is very important.

Su Bai will not put all the pressure on Rakitic. Kaka and Milner also have good offensive organization skills and can share some of the pressure.

Apart from training, Su Bai would go home after work these days to be with his wife, it was rare for her to have such free time.

It is also doomed, the professional relationship between the two, there must be someone who has to make a sacrifice, Yaya's choice made Su Bai feel very guilty, he can only squeeze out time as much as possible to accompany each other.
