Chapter 70 Overhead Keegan [Thanks to Superman Tiga]

The next day, the media was also a little slow about Keegan's tactics.

The Sun: The lead makes Kevin Keegan a little conservative. Facing Bolton, they still can't play the momentum of the championship. Manchester City is still a civilian temperament, which cannot be compared with Manchester United and Arsenal.

The Guardian: The consecutive draws allowed Manchester United to catch up to 11 points. If Manchester City continues to maintain this state, the tragedy of Newcastle United is likely to repeat itself.

The Times: Two consecutive away games, Manchester City played a little too conservatively. Although the advantage is still great, Kevin Keegan's team is obviously not reassuring.

Manchester Evening News: Kevin Keegan's tactics have turned a large number of outstanding players into supporting roles. If Middlesbrough can't get all 3 points at home in the next round, Kevin Keegan is likely to encounter the second Waterloo of his coaching career.

Despite the media's comments, Keegan still insisted on his tactics.

In an interview, he also emphasized again that he knows the players best, and he has the final say on how to play. As for the consecutive draws, Keegan also said that this is normal. Manchester City has won so many games this season. It is normal.

A week later, Manchester City played against Middlesbrough at home. Jia Yi also appeared in the squad, but did not start.

He was obviously worried about what would happen to the team, so he had to come forward.

Keegan was suspended, and the game was still directed by Li Bing.

Ronaldinho's injury is a bit serious, and he may not be able to play the rest of the season. However, the lineup adjustment for this game is a bit interesting. There are three forwards in front, Crouch in the middle, Van Persie and Huckabee on both sides.

The midfielders are still Sun Jihai, Carvalho and Arteta, and the backcourt is Del Horno, Vidic, Ferreira and Bridge.

This seems to be a 4-3-3 formation, and Keegan is rare and generous.

But it was Middlesbrough who scored first.

In the 18th minute, Tang Ning was brought down in the frontcourt, and the referee gave the penalty easily.

Brazilian player Juninho scored directly from a free kick, which was earth-shattering!
This guy, free-kick level, is really good.

Watching the Middlesbrough players embrace and celebrate, the Manchester City players shook their heads helplessly. It is a bit aggrieved to let the opponent advance one at Manchester City's home court.

Cech was also sitting on the ground, and he tried his best, but Juninho's free kick level is really impossible to guess. Who knows what angle he can kick?
Jia is also puzzled by Juninho. His other abilities are so-so, but at this free kick level, there is really nothing to say.

This is really a trick that can be eaten all over the world, and you can find a suitable job and earn money.

If you buy it for him and then extract the attributes, can you extract the prop card for free kicks?
It shouldn't cost much to buy this guy, right?

Jia Yi also made up his mind.

The game continues.

In the 29th minute, Manchester City played smoothly in the frontcourt. Sun Jihai cut in and made a through pass.

Van Persie stopped and passed into the penalty area. After pushing to the penalty spot, Crouch made it overnight, 1:1!

Manchester City equalized.

In the 38th minute, it was still Crouch who ferried the header in the middle, Huckabee volleyed from a small angle, and the ball went straight to the upper corner, 2:1, Manchester City quickly overtook the score.

Crouch's role in these two goals is very obvious.

His header and footwork have improved a lot, and he has become a first-class striker.

In the stands, Keegan finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the situation were even, I'm afraid his pressure would really be the same as it was back then.

But now, it's time to test Keegan again. With the lead, should he defend or continue to suppress the opponent?
Keegan hadn't made up his mind for a long time.

But at this time, Jia Yi walked to the sidelines, pulled Sun Jihai over and said, "Keep attacking, and fully use the power of 4-3-3."

Sun Jihai nodded and said, "Don't bother with Kevin?"

Jia Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Why do you bother with him? Do you listen to me or him?"

Sun Jihai ran away in a hurry. Of course he listened to Jia Yi. Jia Yi paid him a salary, and everyone is Chinese. Is there any need to think about it?
Jia Yi then said to Li Bing: "Today, we must fully play the offense, and we must persist in the next few games. Our advantage is the balance of offense and defense, and both sides must play at a high level. You should also emphasize this during the halftime break." One point, both sides play faster, and don't give the opponent a chance to return to the defensive position.

Crouch in the middle should make full use of this point and score a few more goals. "

Li Bing also nodded again and again. Keegan didn't give instructions. Now the boss has given instructions, so of course he obeys the boss.

The game continues.

Manchester City, who insisted on attacking, gained again before halftime.

Arteta went straight in the middle, Crouch quickly split the side, and then went forward, Van Persie knew how to send a pick pass immediately, Crouch seemed to have eyes in the back of his head after receiving the ball, and actually sent a return pass!

Arteta flew over, volleyed vigorously, and the ball went straight into the net, 3:1!

"Good job!"

Jia Yi jumped up, clapped hands with Li Bing, and roared loudly.

Maine Road Stadium finally let go of the celebration with all its strength. Now the score is safe.

Keegan also showed a smile, thinking to himself during the halftime break, he could arrange his tactics well and try to allow the players to maintain the score until the halftime.

At halftime, Manchester City took the lead and entered the locker room.

When Keegan came in, he saw Li Bing arranging tactics, which made him a little dissatisfied.

However, Jia Yi pulled Keegan aside and said, "Kevin, I have decided to let you be the club's youth training director, and you don't have to worry about the work of the first team in the future.

Salary? What do you think about the annual salary of 200 million pounds? "

Keegan was taken aback for a moment, the news was a bit sudden.

Obviously, this is to emptify myself and prevent myself from coaching.

However, Keegan is still a little entangled in the annual salary of 200 million pounds. Although the youth training director is a little unknown compared to the head coach of the first team, who wants to make trouble with money?
Besides, search as you go, if someone invites you, it won't be too late to resign.

Thinking of this, Keegan sighed and said, "Okay, boss, you are the boss and you have the final say. However, there must be a clause in the new contract: I can leave at any time, and it is not considered a breach of contract."

Jia nodded and said, "No problem."

Keegan then left the pitch, and now that he had said it, there was no need for him to stay.

In the second half of the game, after the opening, Manchester City continued to attack.

Sun Jihai and Del Horno kept pressing up for assists, while Carvalho and Arteta were making up for them.

In the 59th minute, Sun Jihai passed the ball in a wide range. Del Horno came up and got the ball easily. :4!

The 3 points at home are indeed stable.

Jia Yi gave Li Bing a high-five again to celebrate, but Keegan's figure was not captured in the stands, which made people's imagination run wild.

The media is not stupid, and obviously knows how to catch rumors.

Thinking about the previous tactics, and thinking about the current situation of Manchester City, anyone who understands will know that Keegan may have been emptied.

But who can blame this?
