83. Liability of Wensheng
Wensheng soon saw the problem that Debord had seen. The impact of Yaya Toure's absence was also reflected. Dembele and Wanya Matthew were young and often needed to look at their state. When they were in good condition, they could use large-scale running interception to block their opponents. When they were in poor condition, Dembele had limited organizational capabilities, and Wanya Ma was even more directly a strong player with rough playing styles and Manchester City's backcourt operation was not working.
Van Dijk's long passes to Dzeko did not achieve the expected results. Wen Sheng had no choice but to let De Bruyne's position retreat a little deeper, which was also a great harm to De Bruyne. He is an all-round midfielder, but if you keep him from organizing from the backcourt to the frontcourt, it will not only make him exhausted, but the effect will not be very good.
Manchester City's first twenty minutes surprised everyone. In short, no matter how they played, the offensive effect was not good. Nasri was mediocre, and Aguero was like a headless fly in the winger position. Wen Sheng was extremely depressed about his use of people. He knew that he shouldn't let Wan Yama play, and Milner could also play in this position and Barry could play.
But he just didn't give Barry a chance, so Barry could only sit on the bench.
Twenty minutes later, Manchester City found a little bit. De Bruyne had completely transformed into a central defender and had to retreat to organize. Wen Sheng also saw De Bruyne's leader temperament. He was very responsible and directed Wan Yama and Dembele's running position to support himself. He seized the opportunity and passed the ball to both wings. Nasri got the most passes, but unfortunately his condition was too poor. He seemed a little soft and weak on the court. He was cut off several times and his passing was not done well enough.
Manchester City still has few opportunities, while Ajax is making the counterattack vivid.
In the 42nd minute, Manchester City conceded the ball again. Sim Dejong dribbled the ball, then went away from Kolarov and made a cross. Van Dijk cleared the ball, Ajax made a second attack, Erikson made a straight pass through the small penalty area on the right. Sabalata didn't realize that Shene was inserted from behind him, and the shot shot at almost zero angle broke through the goal of Navas' handle again.
"A bunch of shit!" Wen Sheng kicked the Aquarius beside him with one kick. The team was so cowardly, which was beyond his imagination.
Manchester City fans were full of disappointment on their faces, wondering what was wrong with the team?! They actually played like this.
Debord staged a passionate celebration, kneeling on the sidelines and yelling, as if he had already grabbed three points.
Denmark's referee Rasmusen blew the midfield whistle, and Manchester City fell behind Ajax away from home with two goals.
Manchester City players entered the locker room in fear. They knew how bad they played. No one wanted to be scolded by the head coach, but they couldn't find a reason not to be scolded!
Surprisingly, Wensheng did not scold people, but what he said also made Manchester City players feel uncomfortable.
"I don't want to scold people! It's not because I have a responsibility, it's not because you "actually you are not bad at all"! It's because I don't have time! If cursing people can solve the fact that we are two goals behind, I'm willing to sit in front of you and scold each of you, and scold you for acting like shit!"
"But I know this is useless for a fucking dime!"
"If you are a man, don't think about your first half again, because it's really like shit! You should focus on the second half. This is the opportunity I give you. You have to prove in front of me that you are still bloody. I warn any of you that I don't want you to be like this in the second half! If anyone is disobedient on the court, I will let him get out! Let him disappear from my eyes!"
After making a harsh speech, Wen Sheng calmed down his emotions and quickly talked about the tactical arrangements for the second half. His request was very simple to run and run, and everyone was required to use all their last bit of physical strength to drag down Ajax with running. In order to more directly threaten the opponent's goal, Manchester City's offense in the second half will be fully focused on Dzeko. Dzeko was in a bad state in the first half, but Wen Sheng was still willing to give him some more time.
Wensheng knew very well that he had made a mistake at home and should not have adopted a healthy football stance at the beginning. Now he wants to correct this mistake. What kind of victory Manchester City relies on to defeat Ajax in the first leg is running.
The fifteen-minute halftime break passed quickly. Wen Sheng finished his request and time was almost up. He said to Manchester City players: "We only have one way in the second half, we should work hard to attack and attack and then attack! Our goal is to score three goals!"
Wan Yama was replaced by Milner, and Wen Sheng did not let Wan Yama ignore it. He left Wan Yama in the locker room.
"Boss!" Wan Yama was very ashamed. He knew how bad his performance was. The team was not without people. However, Wen Sheng still chose to let him play against Ajax as the starter. This is trust. He felt that he had let Wen Sheng down.
"Okay, Victor!" Wensheng waved his hand as tiredly to stop Wan Yama from saying apologizing, "I stayed to tell you that you did perform badly, but it's really nothing. This is your first year in the Premier League and your first year in the Champions League. You really don't have enough experience. It's normal for such a thing to happen. I want to say yes, it's normal!"
"No matter what the result of the game will look like after the game, I can be sure that there will be media holding you back. I hope you don't care about other people's evaluation of you. All you need to do is calm down and think about how you should improve! Do you understand?!"
"Of course I have to tell you that I won't take your poor performance this time to heart, but I hope you can make progress, do you understand?! If you always make the same mistake, that will disappoint me!"
"You have a bright future and need to develop a big heart! I think you can do it right?"
Wan Yama's gratitude was beyond words, "Thank you, boss!"
"You're welcome! Man! I personally introduced you to the team in the summer, and I have the responsibility to help you grow! This is what I should do, and of course, your future and destiny will still be in your own hands! Let's go out. Sitting on the bench is not an easy thing for you young players. You should learn to be smarter, watch the game from the bench, interpret the game, and substitute yourself. You can study hard. This is not a bad thing!" Wen Sheng smiled and patted Wan Yama to let him relax.
Wen Sheng was in Crystal Palace on one side. On the one hand, he was very strict with the players, and on the other hand, all the players knew that Wen Sheng was not difficult to get along with. He was very willing to talk to everyone, especially young players. Communication can promote and help them grow. After coming to Manchester City, Wen Sheng had more communication with young people than Toure, Aguero and others, because Wen Sheng tried to establish a direct line. These young people are his future and he must take good care of them.
