I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 80
After Guardiola conducted team training according to this idea, he discovered a loophole that overturned all his previous tactical arrangements, and he couldn't prevent it!

The waists of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure were sieved by Zhao Jinge during the team's training drill!There is no effective interception at all!
Because the two of them are at a disadvantage compared to Zhao Jinge in terms of turning, speed and explosive power.

Once Zhao Jinge's catching and starting speed cannot be restricted, the two of them can only delay Zhao Jinge's progress at the cost of fouls.

After Guardiola let David Silva join forces with Zhao Jinge, he directly and completely broke this world-class waistline.

Guardiola frowned on the sidelines of the training field. Zhao Jinge and David Silva can be regarded as low-profile versions of Messi and Iniesta.

Manchester City's double waist, which has begun to decline, can't defend against its own people in the internal training game, so it will definitely not be able to defend against Barcelona's offensive line on the field.

Guardiola fell into thinking again, and he referred to the match between Simeone's Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League in the [-]-[-] season.

Chelsea in [-], Bayern Munich in [-], and Inter Milan under Mourinho in [-].

Since the rise of Mengsan, it can be said that they are most afraid of a team with iron blood and defense.

Although Guardiola has always believed that transmission and control is the core idea of ​​​​his tactics, he has never denied the powerful power of encirclement and counterattack.

All things generate and restrain each other. Perhaps only the meat grinder-like midfield confrontation and the sharp counterattack in the frontcourt are the best ways to break the invincible Barcelona team!

This point has been confirmed in previous games, and now the Manchester City team in my hand may not be able to defend against it.

It may not be an opponent to play pass control with Barcelona.

what to do?Guardiola is caught in a contradiction.

Do you need to give up pass control in this game?

Do you want to change your football philosophy in order to win?
After simple thinking, Guardiola made the choice he thought was correct.

Properly give up the control!

"Fake pass control, real counterattack."

Pep Guardiola has set the tone for Manchester City's clash with Barcelona.

Based on pass control, De Bruyne, David Silva and Yaya Toure are firmly used as the hub to control the midfield.

Always keep enough metronomes in the midfield, you can dispatch the offensive to hit the opponent!
On the defensive end, Fernandinho will take on Messi's exchange tactics.

First of all, do a good job of low-post defense. When Messi breaks through with the ball, the Brazilian will focus on frontal defense, and there is no need to complete one-on-one interception tasks far away from the penalty area.

The defensive players behind him can make up and assist defense at any time.

When Messi leaves Manchester City's backcourt, Fernandinho should not leave the backcourt to follow Messi, because he is at a disadvantage in turn, speed and explosiveness, and cannot play alone without help Defend Messi.

The frontcourt carried out a resolute high-pressure press to the end, and once the ball was stolen, it would directly counterattack on the spot. The ability of Zhao Jinge and Aguero to grab points is definitely the top existence in the world.

Give up the short pass penetration in the attack, choose the more efficient quick counterattack, take advantage of Barcelona's characteristics of passing and controlling pressure, and use the long pass to directly hit behind, relying on Zhao Jinge's speed to attack.

When defending with several backcourts, also pay attention to Barcelona's high pressing.

Always observe the surrounding support points and timely and decisive kicks are the only way for Barcelona at its peak to face the siege.

Guardiola's Manchester City team, which has excellent foot skills, has already carried out relevant training.

After reformulating the relevant tactics, Guardiola conducted in-team drills according to the new ideas.

Although he still doesn't know, whether this can restrain the Barcelona team at its peak.

But it doesn't matter, there is still the second round of the group stage to decide the outcome.

Now Guardiola is very clear that he has only one goal, and that is to win a game with dignity!
As long as he can win the current Barcelona head-on, Guardiola is confident to lead Manchester City to the top of Europe.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the fourth round of the Premier League between Manchester City and Crystal Palace had already arrived.

Guardiola came to London with a group of substitutes and a small number of main players.

At the Selhurst Park Stadium of the Crystal Palace, the Crystal Palace, who sits at home, showed a tenacious will.

Crystal Palace, which has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League for many years, played against Manchester City's all-substitute players.

The first half of the game ended quickly, and neither side made any achievements.

During the intermission, Guardiola gave instructions to Zhao Jinge, De Bruyne and Sterling who were sitting on the bench to warm up in time.

If the game can't be started in the first 10 minutes of the second half, three of them will need to play.

Although Guardiola's thoughts are all on the upcoming Champions League match, it doesn't mean that he will give up the match against Crystal Palace. If he doesn't get points from the underdogs, should he go to the strong teams to grab points?
In the highly competitive Premier League, every point is so precious, Guardiola will choose to stay but will never give up.

The second half of the game restarted, and the scene was no different from the first half. The level of Manchester City's substitute players was too different from that of the main players.

Although they are slightly stronger than Crystal Palace on the offensive end, it's just a lot of thunder and rain, and they can't score goals.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Guardiola asked Zhao Jinge and the three to warm up again, without waiting until 10 minutes into the second half.

In the No.60 minute of the game, Guardiola directly replaced the three.

Alan Pardew, the head coach of the Crystal Palace opposite, saw the scene of Guardiola's substitution, and his heart was instantly chilled.

Originally thought that Guardiola was going to prepare for the Champions League game, and Crystal Palace could score a point against Manchester City, who played with all substitutes, and they could draw against the thriving Manchester City.

But now Guardiola's substitution has directly broken Alan Pardew's beautiful vision.

Didn't we agree that chickens peck each other?You only played No. 60 minutes, and you changed into the main force!If you are capable, you can change it after nine or ten minutes!

It's really not given a chance, right?After being overjoyed and saddened, Alan Pardew instantly became paralyzed.

The Crystal Palace fans in Selhurst Park couldn't help booing, children fighting, why did you send adults up!
Guardiola, you really don't talk about martial arts!

Guardiola doesn't care about the thoughts of everyone in the Crystal Palace. After Manchester City replaced the three main players on the field, it immediately changed.

De Bruyne served as a midfield metronome, responsible for sorting out the offense of the entire Manchester City midfielder, and Manchester City's substitute midfielder Fernando escorted him.

Gundogan, who was originally in charge of the offensive organization alone, also stepped forward immediately after De Bruyne came on the field, giving full play to his characteristics of supporting the frontcourt and threatening shots from the back.

The new offensive line composed of Zhao Jinge, Sterling, and Manchester City's substitute striker Boni, under the dispatch of De Bruyne, took turns attacking the Crystal Palace's defense.

Although the Crystal Palace players tried their best to press and defend, their defense was still crumbling.

In the following ten minutes, Crystal Palace's defense faced great danger several times. Fortunately, it was Sterling and Bonny who completed the final blow.

The two hit one high and the other missed, wasting two excellent opportunities.

The Crystal Palace fans in the stadium were also terrified, for fear that their home team's goal would be declared lost next time.

"The effect of Guardiola's substitution can be said to be immediate, and Manchester City's entire midfield became smooth immediately after De Bruyne's debut.

The current Gundogan is still unable to play the important role of the organization core. Guardiola dragged him back and was mainly responsible for the ball and the connection between the front, center and backcourt. Unfortunately, he still cannot be alone like De Bruyne! "

In the live broadcast room of Sky Sports, Andy Gray began to comment on Manchester City's organizational changes after Guardiola's substitution.

Sitting next to him is Carragher. After listening to Andy Gray's comments, Carragher also expressed his opinion:

"Although they are all new aids that just arrived this summer, there is still a big gap between Gundogan and De Bruyne in terms of vision width, passing awareness and accuracy, and the grasp and scheduling of offensive organization.

Of course, these can be made up for, and his forward penetration and long shots are quite good, somewhat similar to my teammate Gerrard in Liverpool.

Gundogan is very stable in organizing and controlling the ball in the midfield. When Manchester City needed to control the rhythm in the first half, it was Gundogan who took the ball in the midfield.

If he can continue to improve, he will be a good addition to Manchester City's midfield if he supports De Bruyne back and forth. "

Just when the two commentators commented on Gundogan, Manchester City's offense created a huge threat again!
In the 80th minute of the game, after Zhao Jinge received the ball from the center, he immediately turned back and ran to the right.

Gundogan dribbled forward, restrained the Crystal Palace defenders and then passed the ball to the right. De Bruyne stepped forward to meet and kicked the ball.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball in front, he suddenly speeded up and cut inwards. Facing the attacking Crystal Palace defender, he directly squeezed past in the confrontation.

Zhao Jinge, who continued to dribble forward, was caught by the opponent's center back and full back.
Facing a two-person attack, Zhao Jinge turned to the center to pull the ball and made a Marseille maneuver, then kicked the ball back and found Gun Duoan who was inserted behind the center.

"Zhao Jinge, with unparalleled explosive power, continued to move forward after crushing the back of Crystal Palace!"

"Facing the siege, Zhao Jinge used a Marseille maneuver to protect the ball and deftly pass it back to Jing Duoan!"

After the ball was played, Zhao Jinge immediately went forward and went straight to the penalty area of ​​the Crystal Palace.

Gundogan sent the ball into the right side of the penalty area before the opponent's midfielder grabbed it.

After Zhao Jinge received the ball, he made a fake shot and made a real dunk to complete the crosscut, and blasted the ball into the goal with one kick!

"GOAL!!!! It's Zhao Jinge again, he broke the deadlock for Manchester City and scored the fifth consecutive Premier League round!

With the wonderful individual performance and the cooperation of teammates, Manchester City's midfield was completely revitalized, and the smooth cooperation tore through the defense of Crystal Palace!
Crystal Palace's desire to score a point at home was completely shattered! "

The Crystal Palace fans in Selhurst Park were quiet for a while, and then booed deafeningly in the direction of Zhao Jinge!

There will be a draw in 10 minutes, hateful Guardiola, hateful Zhao Jinge!
Why do you have to come off the bench!Let's just start, let's give up at the beginning, isn't it good?

Crystal Palace fans vented their dissatisfaction!But to Zhao Jinge, these harsh voices were more like a different kind of praise!

At the end of the game, Manchester City beat Crystal Palace by one goal with Zhao Jinge's goal in the No.80 minute.

The whole team successfully scored three points with almost no consumption.

Zhao Jinge also won the title of best player of the game again.

After returning to Manchester, as the Champions League match day approached.

The whole of Manchester seemed to be looking forward to a football carnival.

Barcelona, ​​the famous European team, is about to visit.

Countless tourists and fans flocked to Manchester, looking forward to the strong dialogue between Manchester City and Barcelona.

For Manchester locals, Barcelona has brought them too much pain in the past ten years.

Not only Manchester City fans, but also local Manchester United fans don't like Barcelona.

Manchester City's experience of being eliminated after consecutive encounters with Barcelona in the knockout rounds is not worth mentioning against the backdrop of their rivals Manchester United in the same city.

The defeat of the two Champions League finals is definitely an indelible pain in the hearts of Manchester United fans. Sir Alex Ferguson's trembling palms still seem to be vivid!

Under the unwelcome attitude of the locals, the entire Barcelona team rushed to Manchester ahead of schedule to prepare for the match.

Although the fans were somewhat reluctant, Manchester United's top management still lent the training ground to Barcelona.

As the game day is approaching, the enthusiasm in Manchester is rising rapidly.

The fans of Manchester City are looking forward to their home team can beat their former opponents, and the fans who support Barcelona also come to Manchester with the mentality of beating their defeated opponents.

As for Manchester United fans, this is a scene of watching with cold eyes.

I wish you two played as hard as possible!

Another game that started with this Champions League group stage was the rookies of the two weak teams pecking each other.

So the eyes of the whole of Europe are focused on Manchester.

Countless media reporters poured into the city, scrambling to interview the fans on the street and asking them about their views on the game.

This aroused antagonism among the fans of both sides, and some fans even raised their hands during the interview.

Under the constant publicity, a Champions League group match has become as popular as the Champions League knockout round.
