The game lasted five or six minutes, and both sides completed their first shots, and the game seemed to have no highlights.

Wen Sheng was a little relieved. What he was most worried about was that the team was unstable, but in the previous few minutes, Manchester City players were still very steady and handled the ball very steadily. Without being sure, they would directly clear the ball with one kick and would not try to show their personal ability to control the ball.

The game continued, and Manchester City was a bit suspicious of busing at the beginning, but a few minutes later, with the familiarity of the game, Manchester City's formation no longer retreated in the 40-yard area, and began to intercept in the midfield, trying to intercept and launch a quick counterattack.

The competition between the two sides in the midfield began to become fierce. Real Madrid is very aggressive and Manchester City is not giving in too much. Rocky had to interrupt the game several times to warn players on both sides to pay attention to their actions. Mourinho was obviously not very satisfied with some of Rocky's penalty, and he also asked the fourth official to argue with him on the sidelines.

"Let Kidd say hello to everyone and pay attention to his emotions. You must keep your mind awake! Don't be brought into emotions by Real Madrid!" Wen Sheng ordered Joey.

Manchester City players are still too young compared to Real Madrid. Real Madrid players are experienced and have good emotional control. For example, if a referee misjudgment occurs, as long as it is not a penalty that affects the overall situation of the team's trend, mature players will quickly get out of the misjudgment. For young players, it may not be so easy to forget the misjudgment, and they may even have some undeserved ideas about the referee and the opponent in the next game, which is very dangerous.

Joey received the order and soon sent a text message to Kidd, and then Wen Sheng and the others could see Brian Kidd walked to the sidelines and shouted at the field and reminded his players.

With the prompt from Brian Kidd, Manchester City's defensive movements have been restrained, and the overall position has moved back a little further. Real Madrid has played very hard, and it is difficult for them to even create obvious opportunities. It turns out that teams like Manchester City have been on the bus, and teams like Real Madrid are also afraid.

Forty-five minutes of the half passed quickly. Wien and the others didn't feel anything. The first half was over. According to UEFA's suspension rules, the head coach could not communicate with the players on the sidelines in the pre-match game, but this could not prohibit the fifteen-minute break from communicating with the players in the locker room.

So when Rocky ended the whistle in the first half, Wensheng took Joey back to the locker room.

Manchester City did a good job in defense in the first half, but only had a limited number of highlights on offense, completing only four shots, and not even a single shot within the frame.

"You did a great job! It's really good! For us, the important thing about this game is not that we can score a few goals, but that we cannot concede the ball! As long as we don't concede the ball, we can qualify! I'm very glad that all of you have actively participated in the defense!" Wen Sheng did not hesitate to his praise and verbally praised the players.

"Guys, look at yourself. How about it?! Have you found that you have amazing combat power?! Yes, you really are not confident enough! Real Madrid is not that terrifying. We can score three points at the Bernabeu Stadium. Dortmund was not defeated by them, so we can do it too! It will not be difficult for them to score a clean sheet at Etihad. We are only 45 minutes away from achieving our goal!" Wen Sheng clapped his palms and loudly encouraged the Manchester City players.

Wan Yama and the others recalled Wen Sheng's words, and recalled that Real Madrid was indeed that way in the first half, and their mentality became more firm, they nodded in agreement.

Wen Sheng then began to arrange the tactics for the second half. If you didn't say anything, you can keep your health. If you can, you can keep your health, and if you can't keep your health, you can just put on a bus. In short, just waste Real Madrid to death.

After the tactics were arranged, Wen Sheng called Wan Yama and Dembele alone to his side, and verbally praised them, encouraging them to continue their efforts, especially in their mentality, they must not have too much fluctuations.

"You are a very important part of the team's tactics. Real Madrid's offensive methods are very single. What we are doing now is to force them to put the offensive points on the side. You need to protect them in the middle, especially the second point must be protected. Be more decisive in the shot and cannot be sent forward. Then let's clear the ball, and just clear the ball quickly and neatly, and try to avoid the opponent launching a second attack!"

After the rest, the players appeared one after another. Wen Sheng hugged everyone at the door, patted their backs and shoulders to show encouragement, and then returned to the stands of the private room.

When he arrived at the box, the game had already started again. Real Madrid was attacking around Manchester City. Wien and the others did not say hello to Wensheng, and watched the game on the court anxiously.

Wen Sheng was a little nervous when he sat back in his position, but after a few minutes he felt relieved. Mourinho did not make a substitution. He just asked the team to press the formation to make a gambling attack. The problem was that he was still a single forward on the front line, and his offensive methods were indeed very single. He always kept crossing on the side. Benzema grabbed the point in the middle, and Ronaldo surrounded the back point. Manchester City obviously guarded against this routine, which made them return in vain again and again.

Sometimes Di Maria, Modric and others want to make small-scale passes and cuts at the front of the penalty area. Manchester City is very crowded and has a good defensive state. They never did it well. However, Khedira and Alonso made several long shots in front and slightly threatened Manchester City's goal.

Mourinho was anxious but helpless on the sidelines. He used to start with defensive counterattacks. Defense is the basis of his tactical system. He had thought that Manchester City would definitely put defense first in this game, but he didn't expect that Manchester City would be so straightforward and even didn't want the ball, and he didn't take care of it anymore, so he directly put on the bus.

Real Madrid is an expert in controlling the rhythm of offense and defense. In positional battles, they are far less delicate than Barcelona. Manchester City's defensive players are good at themselves. As long as Kompany is not dizzy, he is basically a top central defender. Van Dijk is young but not stingy for the defensive needle on the defense line. Tens of thousands of Yama and Dembele have speed and body in the midfield. Sometimes the position may not be particularly good, but this disadvantage can be made up for in this dense arrangement.

"They look almost the same as in the first half, there is nothing we can do!" Joey said to himself.

"It's hard for us to change it! So sometimes the tactics of double strikers are not necessarily bad. This is the reason why I often use double strikers. Many opponents we face will take a defensive stance. Double strikers can ensure our strength in the penalty area. At least the two of them restrain each other, avoiding the opponent's central defender from focusing their defensive attention on one person!" Wen Sheng said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
