Chapter 529: Pressed to the ground and rubbed, ending the White Dynasty!
Chapter 529: Pressed to the ground and rubbed, ending the White Dynasty!
Mancini had expectations for the game before the game.
Prepare for the worst.
Otherwise he wouldn't have put together a lineup full of engineers.
Just to avoid being crushed by Leeds United in the White Temple.
But he definitely didn't expect Leeds United to destroy them with long-range cannons... Destroying Joe Hart to be exact.
Mancini was forced to signal to the team to strengthen the sweep in front of the penalty area.
The adjustment is very targeted.
The idea is correct.
In the rest of the game, it was really difficult for Leeds United to continue to get long-range shooting opportunities in good conditions in front of the penalty area.
But Manchester City did not improve the weakness in their attack.
Yaya Toure was suppressed in the backcourt due to the pressure of the defensive line. David Silva and Tevez brought Milner or Barry to assist from the wing, and the offensive effect was very wide.
There are only so many people, and the changes that can be derived are inherently limited.
When the game approached 40 minutes, Manchester City still tried to encircle Leeds United's midfielder in front of the penalty area.
Kaka knocked the ball back under heavy siege.
Modric received a diagonal pass from behind and sent the ball to the left wing.
What caught Zabaleta off guard was that Baynes suddenly made a strong assist in front of him.
Baines and Gareth Bale completed a wave of quick passes and cuts, then cut into the penalty area from the outside, stepped forward to increase the depth advantage, and then made a powerful pass!
Suarez's outflanking in the middle was already a flying shovel shot, but it was still slow.
The football flew in front of him, and he thought he had missed the opportunity, but when he turned around, Deisler outflanked him and shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Joe Hart's attention was previously on Suarez, and he blocked the ball from the front. He rushed to save the ball and was out of reach.
"Leeds United scored another victory! Deisler scored! This time Leeds United tore apart Manchester City's defense from the wing, and Baines's wave made an immediate impact!"
"Manchester City has been effective in containing Leeds United's threat of long shots outside the penalty area, but now there is a fire in the backyard. This is the gap in overall offensive and defensive strength."
"Leeds United 3:0 Manchester City! Will Mancini's position be shaken? Maybe after this game, Manchester City's ranking will be hovering on the edge of the relegation zone."
Mancini's face was ashen.
The game was basically hopeless.
I feel so depressed that I want to die.
A few minutes before the end of the first half, Suarez ran in the penalty area to receive a pass from Deisler from the wing. Unfortunately, he made a difficult half-turn and volleyed the ball into the goal side net.
Halftime is over.
Shen Hao turned and walked towards the players tunnel.
Went back to the locker room to make tactical adjustments and important reminders for the second half.
After the start of the second half, Leeds United continued to launch a fierce attack.
Manchester City tried to steal the start.
Mancini knew very well that if he could not get a goal back before 60 minutes to narrow the gap.
Manchester City is basically out of luck.
Whether it was to rescue him or to struggle on his own, he always had to do something.
The result was a tit-for-tat confrontation with Leeds United in the midfield. After a stalemate confrontation, David Silva took advantage of the chaos and sent a through ball.
Quite spiritual!
It's eye-catching.
Tevez countered offside but was a beat late, and became entangled with Hummels.
Neuer came out to control the ball outside the penalty area.
When Tevez rushed forward, Neuer calmly redirected the ball to dodge, but the Leeds United fans were frightened.
This is playing with fire!
Neuer then passed the ball and won bursts of applause and cheers from the fans.
Manchester City missed an opportunity to reduce the deficit.
But at least it gave them hope.
So they became braver in the scene.
Even Yaya Toure began to frequently assist and reach the frontcourt to try to open up troubles for the offense.
As the game approached 60 minutes, Manchester City's offensive failed in the frontcourt. Although Yaya Toure responded to David Silva's pass and passed Modric in a different direction, he was followed by Kante. He broke the ball in front of his eyes like a small whirlwind.
After stealing the ball, Leeds United quickly launched a fast break.
Kaka quickly moved forward after successfully receiving the ball.
When Leeds United plays a pressing attack, it is difficult for Kaká's dribbling and advancement ability to have enough space.
But this time it allowed him to dribble from outside dangerous areas.
De Jong was very confident. As a World Cup champion, he immediately rushed to intercept Kaka, but was accelerated by Kaka's slight change in rhythm and successfully broke through!
Perhaps at this moment De Jong remembered that when he was in the Dutch team, he was surrounded by two defensive midfielders, who jointly defended each other to compress the space and build an airtight interception line.
And just relying on him alone is obviously nothing special.
After breaking through De Jong, Kaka reached the penalty area line. At this time, Manchester City's defense quickly shrank in front of him.
Kaka strolled into the penalty area and passed the ball across.
Suarez responded and then dribbled forward. Kolo Toure hurriedly came to press, but after paying attention, Suarez diverted the ball and passed him by.
Suarez made a tricky push past Kolo Toure.
The football flew into the far corner of the goal.
Joe Hart saved to the limit but was still unable to save the situation.
The cheers from the white-clad temple shook the heavens and the earth.
Suarez was all smiles as he ran and celebrated, brimming with confidence and surging fighting spirit.
Suarez is absolutely confident and highly motivated about replacing Ronaldo as Leeds United's main striker.
Leeds United's strong midfield and strong offensive technical and tactical system make it easy for forwards to produce gorgeous statistics.
Suarez has maintained a scoring efficiency of one goal per game so far this season.
For the team, his performance deserves Shen Hao's trust.
For himself, it will also accelerate his climb to the peak of his personal abilities.
Mancini's expression was beyond hope.
Losing face!
Manchester City's nightmare start will continue.
Leeds United started making substitutions.
Also adjust your play style.
The trend of today's game was quite unexpected by Shen Hao.
Because Manchester City has put together a muscular engineer lineup.
He originally thought that Leeds United would be in a tough fight, and he was prepared that the game would be a stalemate.
Unexpectedly, Joe Hart made their victory easy.
The victory can be completely sealed in about 60 minutes.
Of course, the remaining time can be used to give young players playing time to experience.
Reus, Rakitic and Casemiro appeared one after another.
Manchester City is actually frustrated.
Although this team depends on player value, the starting lineup is almost 2 million euros, ranking among the top in the Premier League.
But there is still a long way to go in terms of team cohesion, tactical literacy, tacit cooperation, mentality and experience within the team.
So the headwind ball expects them to burst out with strong combat power and come back against the wind?
Don't tell them whether they have the strength.
They themselves do not have the will and determination.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t have it, it’s that not everyone has it.
People like to use addition to describe the team's combat effectiveness.
1+1 must be greater than 2 to have a good team chemistry.
As for the 11 starting players, even if one of them is 0, the impact on the final summation result will not fluctuate much.
But Shen Hao believes that the overall combat effectiveness of the team in a headwind situation is not addition, but multiplication.
Once there is a 0 in the team, no matter how many others there are, it will only become 0 after multiplication.
So the scene presented in the last 30 minutes of this game made it even more difficult for Manchester City fans to watch directly.
The scoreline from four goals down simply decided the outcome.
Against the background that everyone has extremely high psychological expectations for Manchester City's growth, the process is actually more important.
No one said to Manchester City: After spending so much money, you must win the championship now!
What people expect is that Manchester City will move up step by step, step by step, step by step.
Therefore, the process of the game is the stage for the team's growth.
However, after the substitution, the entire Leeds United team remained focused and serious, and actively carried out offense and defense. No matter which player the camera was focused on, you could see them running seriously or hard.
On the contrary, the Manchester City generals showed a team-wide fatigue and listlessness.
End it!
This is the inner monologue revealed by the expressions of every Manchester City player.
When Royce assisted, Rakitic stepped in and scored in the penalty area.
The reaction shown by the Manchester City generals was just short of Leeds United kneeling down and surrendering, begging Leeds United to let them go.
Stop torturing us!
Countless football pundits and reporters in Fleet Street shook their heads.
Manchester City are still like a child in front of Leeds United.
Not only does he not have great strength, but he is also very fragile mentally.
The whole game is over.
Leeds United swept Manchester City 5:0!
Shen Hao raised his hands to applaud the cheering fans in white, then turned around and left the field.
Mancini looked unhappy.
When facing reporters for the post-match interview, Mancini was overwhelmed.
Reporters focused on his formation and questioned Ronaldinho being placed on the bench.
Leeds United's Shen Hao faced reporters and was asked about the quarrel with Mancini.
Shen Hao has nothing to hide about this.
"The Manchester City coach thought that I interfered with the referee's decision. He made such an irresponsible and bad accusation, but in turn said that I didn't know how to respect and was just riding a horse. I don't need to explain anything to him. If he thinks that I How great he was in the past, but he can talk nonsense here, then he underestimates the Premier League. There are more brilliant coaches here than him in the past, and there are also more capable coaches here than him.
Give his transfer fee to Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Everton, and Tottenham. Which team can perform as poorly as Manchester City?
If he doesn't face up to his own and the team's problems, but instead throws dirty water on others, Manchester City will have no future under him. "
The reporter also asked Shen Hao about Ronaldinho being placed on the bench.
Shen Hao said bluntly: "Even some superstars with extraordinary abilities are certainly not suitable for every team. At the same time, not every coach can make good use of superstars."
As for which situation Manchester City belongs to.
Different people have different opinions.
Shen Hao couldn't afford to put further pressure on Mancini.
Really knocked Mancini away.
On the contrary, he felt that it might not be a good thing.
Mancini's strength is just that.
Let him lead Manchester City all the time, why not?
Fleet Street were somewhat disappointed with the competitive outcome of the game.
But I am more than satisfied with the topics generated.
"The tyrant in white teaches Mancini a lesson!"
"Mancini can't control a superstar!"
"Does Manchester City have a future under Mancini?"
"The original words of the tyrant in white: Want respect? Either kneel down and beg, or win!"
According to rumors, Mancini returned to Manchester and became furious, threatening to end the White Dynasty!
Instead of being incompetent and furious, he made a bold statement.
This suddenly felt a little inspiring!
It shows that his mind is still awake.
We also choose to fight for the advantage of the crisis.
Of course you have to be angry.
But knowing your shame and then being brave after getting angry may also have a positive impact on the team.
Shen Hao could imagine Mancini scolding the team in the locker room: Are Leeds United shitting on our heads? Do you just open your mouth and swallow it willingly?
But Ronaldinho's problem made him troubled.
In fact, to put it bluntly, in the second half of last season, he and Ronaldinho were in the honeymoon period of their strong alliance.
But in the new season, Ronaldinho's decline in strength is part of the reason, and part of the reason is that Mancini does not allow players in the team to have privileges above the team.
Ronaldinho is occasionally late and has even missed training.
Mancini has learned from this phenomenon before.
When he was at Inter Milan, how much concessions and efforts did the entire club make to cover up Adriano's fall?
What happens in the end?
Saved the King of Meazza?
And Ronaldinho is a superstar at least two levels higher than Adriano.
For team honors, Adriano cannot compare.
In terms of personal honor, Adriano is also different.
Such a superstar is even more difficult for Mancini to deal with.
Ronaldinho still has to earn the sky-high wages offered by Manchester City, so he is occasionally late for training and misses training. If the media scolds him harshly and the team puts a lot of pressure on him, he will restrain himself.
Do your job honestly and honestly.
But this can't stop his strength from declining.
The trend has been established.
It's not like you can stop the downward trend just by clocking in for training on time.
Some media have actually seen that if Manchester City does not deal with Ronaldinho for one day, it may never be qualified to end the White Dynasty.
And when Ronaldinho's competitive contribution on the field drops to another level, I'm afraid that's when he will be completely abandoned by Manchester City.
Midweek EFL Cup.
Leeds United face Preston at home.
Shen Hao naturally made an overall rotation.
The forward trident composed of Griezmann, Reus, and Ronaldo performed well.
In particular, Ronaldo is obviously supporting young players. He not only talks about it beautifully, but also shows the pattern through his actions.
He is not the kind of star who pursues extremes.
It can be said that Brazil has few such players.
For Ronaldo now, the honor is enough and the status is enough.
Scoring one more goal or one less goal will neither affect his income nor change the trajectory of his career.
On the contrary, he felt relaxed after relegating to the second line, and occasionally showed off his ball-handling skills on the court. The fans cheered for him, and he also created opportunities for young players, winning stronger admiration from the young players in the team.
Leeds United defeated Preston 3:1 at home.
Overall performance is good.
Shen Hao is very satisfied with the result and the performance of the players.
After the game, watching many Preston players surrounding Ronaldo hoping to exchange jerseys, Ronaldo smiled and had a cordial conversation with others, which made Shen Hao smile.
