Wang Ai feels nostalgia and determination for every old club he bids farewell to, just like an old thing. Because of the accumulation of time, he has a bit of attachment, but because of the years of tomorrow, he must abandon it. If you add the football star's
When planning, you must consider how to obtain the greatest benefit.
What is in front of Wang Ai is that Manchester City and Bayern are divided together in this season's Champions League group stage. The biggest change between Bayern this season and last season is that they left the first and second shooters. Among them, Wang Ai came to Manchester City and Gomer.
He went to Fiorentina. However, Bayern's hard power is still there. Lewandowski can completely replace Gomez's role. Mandzukic is also a top-notch shooter, not much worse than Gomez, at least on the same level as Dzeko.
Yes, as for the old fairy Pizarro, he never knows when he will break out.
Robery's combination is still the best winger combination in the world, and Muller is still the best frontcourt free man and frontcourt pick-up king. In comparison, the physical strength of the Manchester City players may not be much worse, but their spirit is not.
Of course, Bayern also has two disadvantages. One is that Bayern lacks Wang Ai, an all-around offensive and super striker, and this striker joined Manchester City. The other is that the new coach Guardiola is a very stubborn person. He must
It will take a period of time to rebuild the team, and during this period the results will be unstable. Although Pellegrini is also a new coach, he is a very soft person in all aspects.
Slowly instill your own ideas into your playing style to create a stable transition.
In the half month since he came to Manchester to adjust, Wang Ai has already obtained all the matches of Manchester City this season. Except for some low-level matches that he will definitely not participate in, the main ones are the league, Champions League, League Cup, and FA Cup.
Four events, among which the Champions League is the first, followed closely by the league, and may be reversed if necessary. In short, these two events are the events that Wang Ai must work hard on, and of course they are also events that Manchester City has high hopes for him, especially
It's the Champions League.
There were two games against Bayern in the group stage. Wang Ai not only had to consider the feelings of the Manchester City fans who loved him deeply, but also could not ignore the fact that he was still in his mind and had even begun to propose a bronze statue of him at the entrance of the Allianz Arena.
.Although there is a high probability that it will not pass, or at least it will not pass now, Wang Ai was moved by this friendship, and his team did not dare to underestimate it.
Finally, a hastily discussed solution was reached: at the Etihad Stadium, Wang Ai would participate in the game to show his loyalty to his new club; at the Allianz Stadium, Wang Ai would excuse himself from going to show his nostalgia for his old club.
This is different from the past 1112 season when Wang Ai played against his old club Chelsea in the Champions League final. He had left for many years at that time. Even if Chelsea fans will not forget him, after all, the relationship has gradually faded, and when he left Chelsea, it was not that big.
Pleasant, this is completely different from the past with Bayern.
Now Wang Ai has not told the club about this idea. Anyway, the Champions League group has two out of four. In addition to Bayern, there are Russia's CSKA Moskva and Czech Republic Plzeň. Although they are also powerful clubs in the country, they are weak in this group. Even if
Manchester City's current strength is unstable and may be in danger of falling, but Wang Ai is confident that as long as it doesn't collapse, he will be there.
If Manchester City can't make it out of the group if they have one game less, then they will all play and Manchester City won't be able to go far.
The main players arrived at the club in the afternoon the next day to start training. In three days, they will meet last season's Champions League champion Bayern. This is a very good opportunity for an ambitious team like Manchester City to prove themselves. Wang Ai
I also came to the training ground and was invited to the coach's office after the training.
"I don't know what Guardiola will plan, but I know exactly what Heynckes is thinking." Wang Ai said with a smile after sitting down.
Pellegrini was stunned when he heard this, smiled and shook his head: "Guardiola, I may be more familiar with him, well, I have never beaten him."
Wang Ai was a little shocked by the coach's honesty and coughed helplessly.
"How about it, are you willing to meet your old friends?" Pellegrini said gently: "I heard that you have a good relationship with them, are you willing?"
Seeing Wang Ai pondering, Pellegrini added: "It's okay if you don't want to, I don't want to force my players."
Gu Yan
Wang Ai exhaled: "Would you rather continue the embarrassing record?"
Pellegrini laughed out loud: "We won't necessarily lose. Manchester City is very strong."
Wang Ai looked at the coach and said concisely: "This is our home court."
Pellegrini nodded with clear taste: "Although you performed very well as a substitute in the first two games, considering that you have not been in the main lineup for a long time, I will continue to arrange for you to play as a substitute."
To such an informed and knowledgeable coach, Wang Ai said sincerely: "Thank you."
Pellegrini smiled and nodded: "Can you tell me about the characteristics of their main players?"
Wang Ai was stunned, then smiled and said: "Of course, I think Guardiola has also obtained my information."
Wang Ai was in a happy mood after coming out of the coach, but at the same time he also kept in mind the reminders from women. The more gentle a person is who thinks about you, the more you should pay attention to the scale of interaction with him. Only by always maintaining respect can you win more.
After returning home, Wang Ai just hastily told his family about the results of his discussion with the coach and forgot about the Bayern matter. One was because he was too familiar with it, and the other was because he thought too much and felt uncomfortable.
Three days later, at around eight o'clock in the evening, the Etihad Stadium was buzzing with noise. The stands were filled with sky blue and red and black, with sky blue accounting for 80% of the total. However, Wang Ai, who came out to warm up, still couldn't help but watch the red and black.
, to see former teammates warming up on the other half of the court.
Wang Ai did not say goodbye when he left this summer. He just sent text messages to many people after the three parties formally signed the agreement, including Muller, who played well with him, and Robben, who was his teammate twice.
There is the upright Ribery, the steady Lahm, the stubborn little pig...
Wang Ai still couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He hurried back to the locker room as soon as the warm-up was over. Maybe the more decisive the separation was, the heavier the regret in his heart. It would have calmed down in a few years, but everything was put in place.
There is nothing we can do now.
At 8:45, the game officially started. Wang Ai watched on the sidelines for 5 minutes and sighed in his heart: He must play today.
Bayern, a veteran giant and the last champion, is full of confidence and is not affected by the away game at all. On the contrary, Manchester City, a veteran grassroots team that has never been involved in the Champions League and even only won the Cup Winners' Cup once, is timid and starts to worry about whether the opponent will be tough if they are slightly tougher.
Will I lose? Is there any conspiracy?
Observed from the perspective of system confrontation, Manchester City gave up the dominance as soon as the game started.
