412. head iron

Levi's philosophy of running Tottenham is to not spend too much money to put the team in the top four competitions. Not to mention that he doesn't want Tottenham to win the championship, he hopes, but he is also very pragmatic. From the boss's perspective, Levi is actually a good boss. Neither he nor Lewis will be like Abramovich, nor will he be like Mubarak. The head coach will not have enough patience if he can't win the championship.

Levi knows how much his Tottenham Hotspur is, and he won’t get drunk with peanuts and drink a few sips of water. The space for the head coach is quite abundant. Of course, if you can’t make a breakthrough for a long time, don’t blame his subordinates for being ruthless.

Wensheng also learned a lot about Tottenham from Zahavi. After all, Tottenham has invited him as the head coach.

When Pochettino left, he didn't say whether he would go or not, but Wen Sheng knew that Uncle Bo would probably become a high-level player next season, and Manchester City would have another stumbling block.

Well, Southampton is now, and it's not possible for Manchester City to score three points.

Fortunately, these three-pointers are not a big problem, and Manchester City's league lead is still quite obvious. Of course, Manchester City cannot lose too many points in the next game.

In a blink of an eye, a week passed.

On April 8, the second round of the Champions League came as scheduled.

Bayern Munich is a mess. In recent days, German media revealed that Bayern Munich's internal coaches were not in a row. The protagonists were Mandzukic and Guardiola. It is said that after the last game, the whole team was a bit heavy. Only Mandzukic looked indifferent when Guardiola spoke. Such a calculation was recorded by Guardiola. In this second leg, Guardiola once again excluded Mandzukic from the starting position.

Then the two broke out in an argument on the training ground, and the omnipresent media exposed the incident.

Guardiola certainly strongly denied such a thing at the pre-match press conference, but the starting list he released did not have Mandzukic's name. Of course, Mandzukic is still on the bench, which makes this matter confusing. If there is really a quarrel, Mandzukic can't even make it to the bench.

The German media was pessimistic before the game. Guardiola's starting lineup was criticized. This is awesome, your head is so hard. In the previous episode, Etihad, he had proved the failure of the team without the front line. He still insisted on this when he returned to his home court?!

Wen Sheng is confident in this starting lineup because it is in line with Guardiola's approach. He is an idealist. He happened to have achieved great success in Barcelona. I guess he will never change his style in his life.

The Allianz Stadium is still very popular, and fans want to put psychological pressure on Manchester City at home.

Both sides did not make much adjustments in their lineup. Dante returned to the suspension and replaced Martinez as a central defender. Ram returned to the right back, Martinez and Schweinsteiger played as a midfielder, and midfielder Thiago replaced Gotze.

Walker, who played in the last game in Manchester City, was temporarily injured and replaced by Milner. The starting lineup in other positions was exactly the same as in the last game.

In the last game, Wen Sheng attached great importance to the use of the width of the stadium and took advantage of the mutual influence of Costa and Dzeko? He often counterattacked and made Bayern Munich a little empty? If he changed to other teams, Bayern Munich might not be afraid of width issues, because they often forced all opponents to return to defense.

But Manchester City is different. Wen Sheng has a great tactical determination? Costa and Dzeko rarely participate in defense? Moreover, the team leader has excellent skills in short passes? Bayern Munich is easily caught by Manchester City if he is not careful.

In this game, Ram was arranged to the right, and Guardiola had to rest assured. Shortly after taking office, Guardiola personally praised the German national team and Bayern Munich double captain Ram to the media, saying: "Ram is the highest player among all the players I have worked with in my coaching career. Is he not at the same level as ordinary players? Ram is one level higher than them." Among all the players Guardiola mentioned, including Messi.

This evaluation is really not an exaggeration. Ram has a very strong ability, the most important thing is that he has a strong ability to read games. He has a very good grasp of the timing of insertion in the full-back position. He lacks confrontation and height in the centre-back, so he is destined to play well? But in the left back who debuted, the later right back, and now Guardiola makes him come as a guest star from time to time, Ram has performed very well.

But, having said that, in Etihad last round, the team's short performance was not very good. Maybe he was anxious and a little impatient.

There is nothing to say about the opening remarks. Wensheng and Guardiola's second meeting this season did not have any friendly or unfriendly elements, and it was very dull.

Bayern Munich has already produced the strongest lineup. They are fighting against the enemy and have no choice but to retreat.

Guardiola's team is still the same. After the game, it began to put a lot of pressure on Manchester City's position. Manchester City naturally expected this unfriendly move. What made Wensheng a little worried was Thiago's existence. Gotze really didn't do well in organizing this job in strict terms, so Thiago is different. Thiago was promoted by Guardiola during the Barcelona period, and his organizational ability is still very outstanding.

In this game, Thiago is indeed in an extraordinary state. After the opening, Bayern Munich's frontcourt offense was orderly under his guidance. Robery is still the same, and they also look quite energetic.

Manchester City, who played away, entered the form a little slower than the previous game. In the seven or eight minutes of the game, Bayern Munich formed a siege against Manchester City's goal. In the second minute, Muller received a cross pass from Ram and almost scored. In the 6th minute, Ribery received a straight pass from Thiago, and shaking Van Dijk to get a shot that was quite threatening.

Wen Sheng was worried on the sidelines and kept calling his players to concentrate. There was nothing we could do. The state shown by Bayern Munich in this game was completely different from the previous game.

In the 9th minute, Robben received a pass from Martinez, cut in from the wing and shot. The shot seemed to be a pass and shot, and it didn't seem to be threatening. However, Mueller appeared at a critical moment. He didn't know when he appeared behind Van Dijk like a ghost, flew to dive, and pushed Robben's ball that looked like a shot into Manchester City!

Van Dijk and Manchester City players signaled an offside, and the ball was indeed an offside goal, but the lineman did not raise it, and there was no VAR now, so this goal was still considered to be Bayern Munich's entry.

Wen Sheng immediately looked back on defense and filed a complaint at the fourth official twice, but this was useless. The head coach did such a thing simply because he hoped that the referee team would give Manchester City some benefits in the penalty next.
