Chapter 139 The next opponent

What is the biggest news in the second leg of the Champions League round of [-]?
"Manchester United lost 1-2 to Sevilla and missed the quarter-finals of the Champions League."

This is already the biggest news, but Mourinho's speech after the game brought Manchester United's loss to a higher level. For a week, almost all the media were discussing Mourinho's remarks and Mourinho future at Manchester United.

As a neighbor, Wang Yi is also very concerned about Manchester United.

After losing to Sevilla, Mourinho's speech after the game was probably like this.

"I sat in this chair for an interview when I was in charge of Porto and Man Utd was out. I sat here when I was in charge of Real Madrid and Man Utd were out, so I don't think it's new for the team. It's nothing new. Things, I've knocked out Manchester United twice. Yes, Sevilla has a lot of players who would be good to play in my team."

One stone caused a thousand waves, and these remarks quickly caused Mourinho to be criticized by people from all walks of life in the English football world. In addition, Manchester United's celebrities are well-known and love to come out to take care of things. For a while, Mourinho Has been pushed to the forefront.

On the other side, Manchester City's 1-2 home loss to Basel did not attract so much attention. The main reason was that Manchester City lost but still advanced.

In this game, Wang Yi also scored a goal in the Champions League after a long absence.

5 goals have been scored in the Champions League this season.

But the team as a whole is in a slump and is in poor form. It stands to reason that playing at home is completely idle. Basel should be the one who is tired. However, the team has played too many games recently, one game after another. At this time, the disadvantages of the Premier League have emerged. In addition, Guardiola's lineup rarely rotates significantly in the league, and Basel has no games for 10 days before the second round. In fact, they are the easy side.

It directly led to Basel pressing at the beginning, and Manchester City was most afraid of being robbed. As a result, they were directly robbed and Wang Yi was cut off the ball once.

Gundogan in the midfield, it was him again, there was no way he was robbed. In the end, Guardiola replaced Yaya Toure in the second half, but it was this substitution that made Basel find a breakthrough point. Yaya Toure I haven't played a few games for more than half a year. I don't know what Guardiola thought about replacing Toure.

As a result, Toure, who had been expected to play and intercept, was robbed instead.

Basel then scored 2 goals in a row.

Fortunately, Wang Yi scored a goal 5 minutes after Basel scored the second goal, suppressing Basel's momentum.

But in the following time, Basel still attacked crazily and had a few good opportunities, but after all, their strength and player ability were poor. After 70 minutes, their scrambling tactics still reached a bottleneck.

In the end, Manchester City relied on defense and defended their chance to advance to the next round.

"In the top eight, there are two Premier League teams, one Bundesliga team, two Serie A teams, and three La Liga teams."

"It would be great if we could draw Sevilla. It would be a top pick. Manchester United are afraid of this kind of team. We are not afraid. We can control the ball. Now we are most afraid of a team like Liverpool. It’s too troublesome to be able to grab it, completely restrain us.”

"Pep, is there nothing we can do against Liverpool?"

"You really asked this question! We definitely have a solution. The easiest way is to stabilize. After Liverpool and their physical fitness decline after 60 or 70 minutes, we are attacking aggressively. This is a safe way, but the problem It is whether we can withstand the pressing in front of them. Our midfielders are really afraid of pressing. This is a natural disadvantage. We are in possession of the ball, and some of them are very confrontational. Their midfielders are all tough. Yes. If you encounter it, it will be really, really troublesome."

On March 3th, Wang Yi followed the team to Stoke City. Chinese fans have a familiar nickname for the team - Sky City.

The header tactics are very smooth.

However, the stars have changed, and this team hasn't played header tactics for a long time.

There aren't that many tall guys anymore.

It has become an ordinary middle and lower reaches of the Premier League team, and the usual style of play is the traditional long pass in England, so there is nothing special about it.

Facing such a mid-lower team, Manchester City easily crushed them.

3 to 0 victory.

Unfortunately, Wang Yi still failed to score.

The number of goals scored in the Premier League remained at 29 goals.

"It's getting harder and harder to score goals now. How did Ronaldo and Messi manage to score so many goals for so many years in a row."

"Don't worry, Salah still has 25 goals. How long does it take Messi and Ronaldo to score? If you really score that much in the first season, you will really take over."

In the next game, after discussing with Guardiola, Wang Yi asked for a break, which was mainly suggested by Guardiola. Originally, the opponent in the next game was a weak team, but Guardiola suggested that Wang Yi rest and adjust. , just in time for the national team competition week, Wang Yi took a rest to adjust his state.

Wang Yi followed Guardiola's advice.

One night before returning home to participate in the national team game.

UEFA opened the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Wang Yi didn't understand. It's already the quarterfinals. It's fine to announce the lottery directly or broadcast the announcement directly. It's like holding a party.

There are a lot of memories and various interviews in the front.

It's time for the meat part.

Wang Yi and his teammates are in the waiting room.

"Real Madrid vs Juventus"

"It's not easy for Real Madrid to play with this pick."

"We won Juventus in the finals last time. Real Madrid performed well this season. Juventus stumbled a bit in the Champions League group stage."

"Bayern Munich vs Sevilla."

"Let Bayern Munich take the best team."

"Then Bayern must be promoted."

"Roma vs Barcelona, ​​Manchester City vs Liverpool"

"Wow!"

"We're playing Liverpool again."

"It was so hard last time."

"I didn't win last time."

When the players were discussing, Guardiola glanced at Ender, and Ender noticed that Guardiola's face was very excited.

"Ender, I can face Liverpool again. In two games, I can completely test my new tactics. I have been looking forward to the new tactics for this kind of pressing team for a long time. I thought I could only meet them in the league. But now we have at least three games to test my tactics."

Guardiola is very excited.

However, Wang Yi.

"Kevin, I think these two games will be very difficult."

"I agree with you, Wang, I still remember that after the last game, we were all tired on the turf."

Wang nodded. Playing Liverpool was not a pleasant memory, even if City won.
