179. Manchester City like Wigan

"Are you ready?!"

"Ready, boss!" Young Van Dijk said with confidence on his face.

"Very good! When he comes on stage later, you ask Mahdi to swim boldly and let him leave his back to you! Do you understand?" Wen Sheng said with gestures.

"Keep a good distance between you and him!"

"Remember! Stay calm, stay focused, and don't miss anyone!"

It is undoubtedly risky to hand over the deep-lying filling position to a fledgling boy, but this is how Wen Sheng uses it.

Van Dijk has only made one start so far this season, in the League Cup at the end of August, and today's appearance in the league is his first appearance.

But Wen Sheng felt that Van Dijk had changed and improved a lot compared to a few months ago, and his performance in training was very good. This was the reason that prompted Wen Sheng to be bold.

After Van Dijk came on the field, Wen Sheng also began to adjust the team's tactics and began to control the ball more at his feet.

It was true that he earlier believed that the opponent's starting lineup was not necessarily better than his own. When Crystal Palace was deliberately controlling the backcourt, Manchester City began to occupy the bottom.

They couldn't get the ball from Crystal Palace. In Mancini's tactics, De Jong and Barry are double midfielders. Barry has certain organizational skills, and De Jong is a strong player. South Pepe and North De Jong

The name is not false, they specialize in tackling. To be honest, without Tevez's retreat, they would not be able to stir up trouble at all.

The cooperation between De Bruyne and his teammates made Mancini dumbfounded. He also fell into the same trap as Ancelotti. Crystal Palace actually did a pretty good job in small-scale cooperation.

Manchester City, a rich man, aspires to win the championship. They can easily give up the ball, and their double midfielders frequently want to go forward to steal and help the frontcourt. Who would have thought that this would be the beginning of their disaster.

Before Mancini could react, in the 20th minute, Crystal Palace, under De Bruyne's organization, easily deflected Manchester City's defensive system with several passes.

Then De Bruyne made a long lateral movement on the right, which immediately gave Zaha on the left an opportunity to easily face Jerome Boateng.

The young player Zaha is really good, and he easily passed Boateng with a few foot movements.

Vardy took two steps towards the small penalty area with Bridge, and then suddenly retreated. Zaha's pass went through Kompany's crotch. Vardy took an accurate shot and flew into the goal post.

Door with special handle.

Vardy ran frantically towards the corner kick, but suddenly turned around and came towards the Crystal Palace coaching bench.

Everyone knows what he wants to do!

Wen Sheng was also very excited. He was already hugging Lawrence and others beside his coaching bench, and then saw Vardy running towards here.

He quickly rushed over and hugged Vardy. "Well done, well done! I damn sure knew you could score!"

"Thank you, boss!" You say, a man doesn't shed tears easily. Vardy is so aggrieved!

He had already burst into tears.

"Control it, damn it, you scored a goal! You can't fucking embarrass yourself, others think you have such poor quality! Hold it down!" Wen Sheng hugged him tightly and told him to stop.

cry!

Vardy also knew that he shouldn't be like this, it was so embarrassing, so he managed to control it.

Teammates came up to pat him on the head one after another. Everyone knew that this kid was really depressed.

The fans in the stands shouted "Jamie! Jamie!"

Elizabeth and her cheerleaders jumped up happily in their exclusive seats.

Mancini on the opposite side regretted it to death. The team was in good condition. Today's game inevitably made him a little careless. The name of Crystal Palace's wealthy killer was worthless to him, but now he has proved that he has a belly.

In stock.

Vardy had it relatively easy, and the one who deserves the most credit should be Zaha. Zaha passed Boateng without any hesitation and it was extremely easy.

De Bruyne's long pass was great, and Vardy did a great job getting rid of Bridge, but neither of them contributed as much as Zaha, who played a key role.

"This kid has finally scored a goal!" Wen Sheng was delighted. Zaha has always scored a goal. This season, he has been a substitute in the starting lineup, and his overall performance is quite good.

The ball had been restarted, and Wen Sheng couldn't help but turn his attention to Jerome Boateng.

There is actually a story about him. This summer, Wen Sheng took the lead in signing his brother Kevin. Boateng told Wen Sheng about his younger brother, but the salary offered by Manchester City was high, so Wen Sheng did not

We can recruit this future World First Guard.

Mancini uses him as right back?!

Boateng can indeed play football, even in Hamburg, but Wen Sheng, a prophet, knows that this is not his greatest value.

Pity!

It's a pity that Boateng couldn't be poached no matter what. He didn't have a good time in Manchester City. He went back to Germany next year and went to the South King. He had no chance to poach him.

Manchester City's players were obviously not willing to be disgraced by such a newly promoted opponent, and they still bravely tried to intercept and suppress Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace controls the rhythm very well, especially Van Dijk, who is playing in the league for the first time. He has a general style. His handling of the ball in the backcourt is very similar to how Italian defensive players handle the ball, that is, safety.

Sometimes when the ball comes to his feet, he will consciously stabilize it.

Sometimes he can no longer play the ball, so he just kicks it out of bounds and clears the ball neatly without any sloppiness.

There were several times when Manchester City launched long passes, and Benatia boldly attacked Tevez with Delicante and the others. Van Dijk also took Adebayor very seriously and did not miss anyone.

"We will treat each other with admiration after three days of separation!" Wen Sheng thought of this word in his mind, good boy, it's really good!

Crystal Palace also played very well offensively and created several good threats, but unfortunately they were unable to expand the score.

Mancini finally made some changes and began to call on his players to tighten restrictions on De Bruyne.

Not even two goals behind, his change is not considered slow.

Both sides seemed to have lost their offensive power, and nearly forty minutes had passed.

De Bruyne's ball is not very smooth. Adam Johnson's recovery increases the protection of the wing. This is the disadvantage of playing 442. The double center reduces the number of ball carriers in the midfield. Carlos Tevez often

Drop back, but he is a striker and he will do it in the high press in the frontcourt.

But it's definitely impossible for him to run to the midfield to defend De Bruyne, and he doesn't have that habit.

So they can only recycle the forwards. In order to restrict De Bruyne and Klein, their side is useless.

On the other hand, do you really expect the tall and powerful Boateng to make a difference in assists?!

Therefore, Wen Sheng's 4231 is much better than Mancini's 442, and has an inherent advantage.

Manchester City played in a haphazard manner throughout the first half. After De Bruyne's side was restricted, Crystal Palace did not persist and began to use Zaha to fight alone.

This kid didn't have any stage fright today. He showed his characteristics as the "king of the ball" in the future and frequently passed people. Milner reluctantly received a yellow card for him, and little Boateng was also tortured by him to a point of neurasthenia.

Forty-five minutes passed. Crystal Palace not only led the score, but also suppressed Manchester City in all aspects of the situation. Many Crystal Palace fans were confused. This is Manchester City with 4 consecutive victories?! How does it look like this?

Wigan.

Wen Sheng and the others could see the team's progress with the naked eye. Before the national team match day, the team was unfortunately tied by Liverpool. Wen Sheng was not angry. He knew that the team was improving and getting better. Now it is further confirmed.

In his opinion, the team has indeed improved a lot, and Mancini on the opposite side is quite generous. He did not move out of his own formation and used a lot of substitute rotations, which really gave him a big advantage.

"The World Cup year is indeed a good year!" Lawrence knew it all, and talked nonsense with Wen Sheng and the others on their way back to the locker room at the end of the half.

"As long as you understand, don't say it out loud!" Wen Sheng winked and smiled evilly.

The World Cup year has a great impact on the strong teams. Because they are strong, many players go to the World Cup and do not get a break, which delays the team's running-in. Therefore, the performance of many giants in the season after the World Cup is generally weak.

, the Premier League giants, who are famous for their numerous competitions, are suffering even more.

Mancini may also want to make good use of his players, but unfortunately, perhaps injuries and fatigue have made him "disdain" his opponents so much. Anyway, if he loses this game, the media will definitely give the Italian eye drops, by the way.
