486. Indispensable Tintin
The players were not injured on the national team's game day, which is very good news. The only thing that made Wen Sheng a little uncomfortable was that Nasri was injured. The French national maker had not played much this season. She was all substitute and had only been injured several times before she appeared.
Although Wen Sheng verbally encouraged Nasri and said that he was waiting for his return, he was actually very unprofitable about Nasri's prospects at Manchester City. The young man's serious injury last year was too much trouble. It is estimated that Nasri will go downhill from now on.
On the 18th, Manchester City welcomed Tottenham Hotspur at home.
Compared with the last big victory of Villa, Wensheng made some adjustments. Lampard, who withdrew from the national team, served as the front midfielder, while De Bruyne sat on the bench. This kid was too tired, Wensheng almost forced him to be on the bench.
In the front line, Cácemiro and Fernandinho were the two strong players in the midfield, while Kyle Walker, Van Dijk, Kompany and Hills were the partners in the defense line.
Compared with the previous game, Wen Sheng adopted a more active defensive and offensive mode in this game, and continued to oppress Tottenham at a high level.
After Pochettino arrived, Tottenham naturally had its own ideas and transformations. The main thing was to promote the technical flow route, and the teamwork increased. Speaking of which, Boas also played this game, but the details were different.
Pochettino did not have sufficient estimates of the situation and was unable to breathe at the beginning of the game by Manchester City's high defense. In the 8th minute, their central defender Fazio gave a penalty, and Lampard scored the first record for Manchester City.
But in fact, except for this penalty, Manchester City has always been unable to do a good job in the last pass.
"De Bruyne is absent, and Manchester City's ability to create opportunities has been greatly reduced. Their high-level defense is very good, but they still lack key passes when launching offense after intercepting the ball. Every time they rely on the speed of Cuadrado and Chamberlain to attack their opponents!" Little Lei bluntly said during the live broadcast that other Manchester City players should stand up and replace De Bruyne.
Pochettino's Tottenham woke up, neither rushing nor slow, nor slow. Several counterattacks were quite threatening, and in the 23rd minute, Eriksen assisted Soldado to equalize the score.
Cuadrado performed very badly. His dribbling passes retained some bad habits. He always stopped the ball and then used his explosive power to get rid of his opponent. He wasted a lot of time on one stop and pause. Moreover, he had too much time to go straight and couldn't make it right. The crossing was even worse. You have to look at your own teammates when crossing. It is unwise to lose the right to the ball by blindly crossing.
De Bruyne stood on the bench and grabbed the bench roof in a hurry. He knew very well that it was useless to explode alone. After getting the ball, he would explode when he should explode. When he should use the team reasonably, he should use it. When he should use the ball, he would think about what the use of tumbling and tumbling is.
Wensheng wanted to communicate with Cuadrado, but this kid couldn't speak English, so he couldn't quite understand what Wensheng wanted to express.
Wen Sheng, who was angry, replaced Cuadrado in the midfield and allowed De Bruyne to play. At this time, Tottenham, who played away, had already surpassed the score with a penalty kick in 35 minutes.
