Chapter 230 Normal Life

In the end, it was time to part. Wang Yi and Jenny spent a day together, and finally Jenny wanted to go back to Korea to continue her idol career.

And Wang Yi also returned to Manchester to continue his professional football career.

Back in Manchester City's first game, Guardiola did not let Wang Yi start.After all, it is the national team match day, so we still need to protect it well.

In this Manchester City home game against Fulham, even if Manchester City had most of the substitute players, they still defeated their opponents 3-0 without bloodshed.

Such a perfect performance caused many media to shout after the game, "The battle for the Premier League championship this season has come to an early end!"

But Wang Yi never bothered to pay attention to such slanderous remarks.

Wang Yi hates this group of media.

He kills every day.

And after this league is over, it will be the first game of the Champions League group stage. In this game, Manchester City is still playing at home.

The visiting team is the Ligue [-] giants Lyon.

In this game, Wang Yi started the game, but the right winger was replaced by Foden in this game.

"Pep, Foden can play right winger, is that okay?"

"Of course. Although Foden's crossing ability is not very good, his speed and flexibility are very good, and his skills are more delicate than Sterling and Sane. The most important thing is that he is in the youth team. He plays in the attacking midfielder position, but now we have a center forward at the front, and I haven't thought about playing without a striker, let him adapt to the wing, let's see how it goes?"

Wang Yi was taken aback by this start, and Lyon is not weak. How could they dare to let Foden go to the right at home, such a blatant training?Anyway, find a weak team to practice first.

But Guardiola's idea is very special. Now that he has practiced in games against strong teams, he will be more comfortable in games against weak teams.

As for why Guardiola didn't use Sane anymore.

Because what's even more coquettish is that Sane also started this game, and Wang Yi also started. Sane played on the left and Wang Yi played at the center.

In fact, throughout Guardiola's coaching career, he doesn't like high center forwards very much, or in other words, he doesn't like high center forwards with obvious fulcrum functions.

Although there was Lewandowski during the Bayern period, he clearly expressed his dislike for another high center forward, Mandzukic, let alone Ibrahimovic during the Barcelona period.

The reason is actually very simple, because in Guardiola's view, the pass-and-control tactics do not require a fulcrum-type figure standing in front.Having a fulcrum will disrupt the overall rhythm.The pass and control style of play requires the grasp of the overall pass and control rhythm. It is good that the striker can cooperate perfectly with the midfielder. Cup of Spain.

This is a fundamentalism in Guardiola's coaching philosophy. What is fundamentalism is difficult to change. Although this system was great in the era when Spanish football ruled Europe, after 12 years, this system has been unplayable. Too much has changed and European football has shifted towards a combination of power and speed.

If you only have passing, without strength and speed, it is useless. The easiest target is the German team in the 18 World Cup.

And Guardiola in this world obviously wants to change.

"As a winger, Wang Yi is already 1 meters tall. He is the fastest in the team. I don't know about it in the Premier League, but he must be in the top three. His key skills are particularly good, his feet are flexible, and he is basically very comprehensive. The key is to fight or fight. Very good, the most important thing is that he used to pass the ball more, so he is very good at passing the ball, let him play as a center forward, he is also an all-round center rather than a standing center."

As for the Lyon team, which was the subject of the test, after seeing such a list, Lyon's coach, Genesio was smiling in his heart, but his face was full of anger.

Before the game started, he rushed to his team's locker room.

"Boys! Did you watch the starting lineup? Do you need me to read it to you? The Spaniards in xx look down on us and think our seven-time Ligue 18 champions are just a soft apple. They think we are not that strong team anymore. They How dare they engage in heavy training in the game against us, let Wang Yi go to the center, and let an [-]-year-old kid play the starting lineup. The most arrogant thing is that they didn’t even have a midfielder in this game! This is clearly despised Us! We must teach them a lesson!"

"fxxk! The coach is right, teach the xx British guys a lesson, let them know that football depends on the background, and rubbish oil can't grow rich families!"

A group of players were encouraged.

Genesio secretly nodded and applauded.

And Guardiola's assistant coach Anderson here always feels that Guardiola's operations are a bit over the top.

In fact, there have been previous games without a defensive midfielder, but it was also a defensive player like Gundogan, but today's midfield trio is David Silva, De Bruyne And Bernardo Silva, the three are all offensive players, and it is the first time on the right that Foden, who started playing on the wing in an official game, let Wang Yi play as a center forward.

Although Wang Yi played as a center forward, it all added up to make Anderson feel a little uneasy.

But Anderson comforted himself again.

"As an assistant coach, I think there is a problem, but Pep is the top coach. He must be more correct than me. I'd better stop thinking about it."

After the game started, everything seemed so smooth.

In the first 3 minutes of the game, Foden broke through from the right and was tripped by the opponent's player. Then Manchester City got a good free kick from the inside of the right.

Wang Yi stood up without hesitation, kicking in an arc.

Swah——

Successfully entered the network.

1:0.

Everything seemed to be going well, but from the 10th minute of the first half, Lyon blasted Manchester City's midfield, until the 44th minute when they broke Manchester City's goal for the second time in the game, Lyon reversed in half an hour game.

Although Guardiola planned to make a substitution during the intermission, he didn't want others to feel that his tactics had failed, not even for a game.

So until the end of the game, without a back, I still persisted.

In the end, Lyon defended the score of 2 to 1 and won the first victory in the Champions League group stage.

"The first defeat of the season, what's the change before the battle?"

"Has Guardiola's magic gone?"

"Wang Yi's performance as a center forward is too poor. Is the young genius Foden really hard to match?"

Sure enough, as soon as the game was lost, all kinds of opposing media voices came out.

But Guardiola is not worried about this at all.

The club's football director, Begiristan, called to express his concern at the first time, and then Chairman Mubarak also expressed the same meaning.

The confident Guardiola did not change his mind.
