Soccer Dreams Set Sail

Chapter 16
The game started, Manchester City played 433, Blackburn played 442, Manchester City kicked off.

First, Ronaldo took the kick and kicked the ball to Henry next to him. Henry took the ball and passed it back to central defender Cannavaro. Cannavaro gave it to Zambrotta on the left.

Their series of shots are one or two kicks, clean and comfortable.

Zambrotta started to dribble forward, and after a few steps passed to Seedorf in the middle, Seedorf did not stop the ball and passed it diagonally to Litmanen in front, Litmanen gave Henry on the wing with both feet.

Henry dribbled the ball down as if he was going to make a pass from the bottom. When he was about to reach the bottom line, he passed back to Zambrotta who came up to meet him.

1:0
The first attack in the opening game, the line is clear and the purpose is clear. Of course, it is also related to the opponent's lack of defense, but the picture is very beautiful.

And this sudden attack made the Blackburn players look a little ugly. Is a warm-up match so serious!
Blackburn kicked off, he was a little lazy at first, but now he is serious. Blackburn played very simple, combining side and center, and some small cooperation, which looked good.

At this time, we can see the problems of Manchester City. There is no cooperation in the attack, the concept of position is poor, and I don’t know who to give after stealing the ball. A lot of problems came out.

Messiah watched and recorded, Blackburn thought he had encountered a strong team, but he didn't expect that after a few rounds, he abused Manchester City.

Fortunately, Manchester City's offensive end is still a bit good, but they also make frequent mistakes. Some of them missed the ball, and some did not give the ball when they should, but it is much better than defense.

At the end of the first half, the score was 1:3.

In the second half, both sides started to make substitutions, and Mecia also started to replace other players, so that everyone became familiar with the rhythm of the game.

Messia replaced Alan Shearer, Ronaldo replaced, Alan Shearer played center forward, and then the formation began to change, from 433 to 4321.

This formation is designed to serve Alan Shearer and strengthen the defense at the same time. Everyone in front is covered by Alan Shearer, creating opportunities for him to hit them, and retreating back to defend, increasing the number of interceptions and steals.

As for Blackburn, after the first half of the game, they started to deal with it in the second half. The gap is really a bit big.

At the end of the whole game, the score was 2:6. Manchester City lost miserably. Only the beginning and Alan Shearer scored a goal each.

Fortunately, Messia has gained a lot, and only through the warm-up match can he gradually find out the team's problems and then solve them.

The game is over, some people are happy and some are sad, Manchester City's players are depressed, Messia sees it.

"Hi! Guys, you performed well today. I thought I would lose more than ten goals! You have only started forming a team for less than a month, so this is not bad."

Mecia hurriedly encouraged them. After all, they are all small and new. At this time, everyone's confidence and enthusiasm should not be dampened.

Everyone saw that Mecia didn't scold anyone or blame them, so it was a bit easier, and then they all held back their energy in their hearts, preparing to train hard so that they could be worthy of Mecia's dedication.

No one is a fool. Everyone can see Messia’s performance every day. He can personally demonstrate how you move, and he can also be a stake for you to pass the ball.

Wait, wait, Mejia paid too much, too much!
