"Young guys, we have no way out!" Pellegrini looked up at his players. He could feel that after experiencing a helpless first half, the players were a little disappointed and had a serious lack of confidence in the next forty-five minutes.

"If we can't equalize the score in the second half, then our Champions League trip this season will end! The Champions League opportunity is hard-won. For many of you, this is the best opportunity to prove your value. There are countless fans around the world watching this game!"

"The opponent is very strong, how powerful is?!" Pellegrini asked the question with a wry smile, saying to himself, "I think they are no longer weaker than Real Madrid and Barcelona! Maybe they may advance, but this is the Rose Garden Stadium, we should give them a little color! I don't know if the guys on the opposite side are a group of arrogant and rude guys, but at least we should tell them that we are not always dark horses, we can do a lot."

"What will we be like? The initiative is on you. Do you want to tell yourself that you are willing or unwilling to do so?"

Pellegrini's tone was very kind, but it felt like he had some decisive meaning. After saying this, he did not continue. As he himself said, what will happen in the end depends on the players themselves. The key to whether the tactics can play a role at this time lies in the players themselves.

"Fight for honor!" Weiligton shouted loudly with his arms raised, and the players responded loudly.

How did the English media Manchester Evening News tease Malaga before the game?!

This is how they describe Malaga as a "Frustrated Alliance" in their article!

"Pellegrini was fired after leading Real Madrid to a record 96 points in Madrid. After Saviola came to Barcelona with the halo of a South American footballer. She performed poorly, but she was still swept out by Barcelona. As for Santa Cruz, I guess the thing he regrets most at this moment is to choose Manchester City for money?........., the team Malaga is now full of frustrated people! But they are no longer as brave as they were!"

......

The game started again, and the frustrated people in the eyes of the Manchester Evening News immediately put pressure on Manchester City after the kickoff. Wen Sheng and the team had expected it. The old routine, not retreating, delaying Malaga's attack speed and putting them in the confusion of positional warfare.

But this time it was different. Malaga no longer played slowly like in the first half and passed the ball very quickly.

After watching for a while, Wen Sheng became aware of it.

"This is to create an opportunity to change offense and defense!" He gave his own judgment.

The team of Malaga is quite weak in positional battles and offense. Manchester City has few defensive loopholes, and the stars of Malaga have not been able to perform inspiration. Pellegrini hopes to make more use of offense and defense conversion opportunities. How to create the offense and defense conversion opportunities?!

It is not possible to engage in positional offense slowly, it is ineffective and it is difficult to loosen Manchester City's formation, speed up the pace, make the pass faster, the game pace faster, and the ball rights exchange more frequently. Pellegrini believes that only his team can get the opportunity to control offense and defense.

Then at this time, Malaga's chance may come, and they can also fight back on the spot.

When Wen Sheng was thinking about this connotation, Malaga was really good. He caught Manchester City off guard. Kompany rashly robbed, which almost made Saviola break through Manchester City's goal.

In the 49th minute, Isco had a flash of inspiration and understood it with his teammates. Sabaleta was not in time, giving Isco a chance to shoot directly. Navas had the opportunity to perform and held Isco's near-point shot in his arms.

Manchester City players were really fooled by Pellegrini. As long as Malaga quickly concedes the ball from the frontcourt, they always try to counterattack, and Silva and De Bruyne's positions gradually changed. Their retracement is not so strong, and there is always someone who stays on the side to try to catch the opponent's counterattack.

Manchester City, who was a little impatient, also conceded the ball very quickly. It is not that easy to counterattack quickly. Malaga's players spared no effort in running in the second half, and the rate of attainment is very high. It can be said that Malaga used unremitting running to make up for some tactical shortcomings.

They did a very good job. Manchester City successfully intercepted several counterattacks. With the failure to recover the frontcourt, Manchester City's defense line will leak a little more.

Fortunately, Wensheng's task of the midfielder position in the pre-match tactical arrangement was very clear, and Milner and Melo were not allowed to overpress the situation.

"Control the ball, don't be impatient, slow down the pace, take your time!" Wen Sheng shouted at his players while on the court, pressing his hands down to signal his players to slow down the pace.

After Manchester City adjusted, Malaga pressed hard at high positions. Wen Sheng was worried about mistakes on the defense and asked Van Dijk and others to handle the ball and make decisive decisions.

Navas's role is reflected. He can control the ball in the goalkeeper position. His ability to shoot one ball is much stronger than Hart, and his psychological quality is also good. How can Hart use it always feels that his psychological quality is a little worse. Someone comes to force him to force him.

Manchester City does not have obsessive-compulsive disorder in terms of control. If they really can't control it, they will pass it forward. However, Wen Sheng seemed a little cautious and did not invest much troops in the frontcourt. After Silva, De Bruyne and Nasri recovered, it was not so easy to strike back in the frontcourt.

Wensheng doesn't care about this. He is Gou, but what does it matter? As long as he can win two rounds of games, it doesn't matter even if the number of shots in this game is single digits.

Pellegrini was very unlucky when he met a coach like Wen Sheng who did not talk about tactical ideals. He started to substitutions and used Santa Cruz, etc., but Manchester City remained unmoved.

Malaga tried to accelerate the game, but Manchester City tried to slow down the game. You pressed high, I used the goalkeeper tactics, you made a foul to stop me from counterattacking, I really wanted to deliberately hold the ball for a while and let the referee give you the card.

Spanish TV commentators criticized Manchester City's shameless tactics, but what can it do?! Wen Sheng at the pre-match press conference said arrogantly that we don't need criticism, and criticism has no effect and meaninglessness to us.

It took ninety minutes to say more or less, but in the end, Manchester City was 0:0.

Manchester City has an absolute advantage in controlling the ball, but what makes many commentators speechless is that Manchester City and Malaga's shots each completed 8 times in this game. What is the level of this?! It is far lower than the daily level of the two teams!
Chapter completed!
