From coaching Gao Shen to now, I have always felt that South American players are born with a cleverness in playing football.
This may have something to do with the youth training environment they grew up in.
European players seem to have a professional background. Most of them are trained systematically in formal youth training. They are a bit like standardized products. Of course, there will also be some master-level and creative players, but it always makes people feel
With a bit of craftsmanship.
The craftsmanship here is not a bad thing, nor is it good or bad, it is purely a feeling.
Most of the players in South America come from wild backgrounds and have not received much formal youth training. They rely entirely on their own practice and exploration from childhood to adulthood. This makes them play football without any rules and follow their will on the court.
With ease, all kinds of movements are at your fingertips, and it feels like something natural.
What is reflected on the court is that the European players' playing will make you feel very reasonable, but behind the reasonableness there are no surprises.
There are too many irrational ways in which South American players play, but they will give you surprises and surprises from time to time.
In fact, it is difficult to distinguish between these two types of players, and there is no so-called superiority or inferiority.
But when forming a team, you must always consider that if a team is always pursuing rationality, it actually means that some of your strategies and routines can easily be figured out by your opponents.
Of course, just because you've figured it out doesn't mean you can prevent it.
For example, can Gao Shen's arrangement with Gareth Bale be defended?
You defended it in the first half, but what about the second half when your physical fitness declined?
Therefore, Gao Shen quite likes to add more elements of South American players to his team.
The premise is that it must be able to be integrated into one.
What best reflects the advanced team-building strategy is Suarez's movement.
…
When David Silva dribbles towards the Manchester United penalty area, Suarez's position is always between Ferdinand and Vidic.
He was very alert not to let himself get into an offside position, always moving with the movement of Manchester United's two central defenders.
When Ferdinand decided to attack, Manchester United's other central defender Vidic obviously understood it and he also pressed forward at the same time.
If Suarez did not react in time at this time, he would have fallen into the offside trap.
Even if David Silva passes the ball behind him and the Uruguayan forward catches up, it is offside.
But Suarez first withdrew with Vidic, but pointed to the side and rear of Ferdinand, and then suddenly stopped suddenly at a position almost level with Vidic, turned around and started to advance forward.
David Silva saw Suarez's gesture and knowingly sent the ball to the back of Ferdinand. Suarez's original retreating movement confused Vidic and made the Serbian central defender think that Suarez was about to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, Suarez suddenly turned back and moved forward quickly.
After the Spaniard passed the ball, Suarez quickly went straight behind Ferdinand, forming a beautiful anti-offside move.
The whole process happens in a blink of an eye, but it's very complicated to say.
The cunning Suarez used his movement to get rid of Vidic's entanglement, quickly rushed into the Manchester United penalty area behind Ferdinand, caught up with David Silva's pass, and fired a low shot with his left foot, easily
Scored Foster's goal again.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Four to zero!!!"
"Oh my god, before the end of the first half, Manchester City scored another victory, 4-0!!!"
"Tonight, Manchester United was truly defeated. Manchester City completely controlled the situation on the field."
"Ferguson's team was slaughtered one-sidedly by the sophisticated Manchester City at Old Trafford."
"We saw that not only in terms of possession of the ball in the game, but also in terms of threatening offense and goal score, Manchester United was at an absolute disadvantage."
After Suarez scored, everyone rushed out of the stadium excitedly, running all the way to celebrate his goal.
In just six rounds, he has already scored eight Premier League goals!
This was something he couldn't believe before joining Manchester City.
Has his ability increased by leaps and bounds?
Yes, there are factors for that, but more importantly, he has a group of better teammates around him than at Ajax, who create more scoring opportunities.
And he only grasped part of it.
More importantly, head coach Gao Shen not only created an offensive tactical system for the team, but also gave him unconditional support, which made Suarez feel extremely excited.
You really came to the right place to join Manchester City!
"We can see that Manchester City's attack was very thoughtful, especially Suarez. This turnaround was so smart that it completely confused Vidic."
"He is like a cunning fox, weaving in and out of Manchester United's defense."
"With eight goals in six rounds, Suarez is the top scorer in the Premier League so far this season!"
"Number to four, now for Manchester United, the situation is even worse."
"Ferguson must come up with better and more effective solutions during the halftime break. Otherwise, tonight's duel is likely to turn into a one-sided massacre by Manchester City."
"This will also become a great shame for Manchester United in the history of the Manchester derby!"
…
With a result of zero to four, the first half of the game ended.
The entire Old Trafford stadium fell silent.
Obviously, more than 75,000 Manchester United fans are hesitant and worried.
Every Manchester United player walked off the field with their heads lowered. Even when they passed in front of Ferguson, they didn't dare to look up.
Contrary to them, every one of Manchester City's players was as elated as if they had won a special prize in the lottery, which was in sharp contrast to those next door.
After Gao Shen hugged each player, he sent them all into the tunnel. Then, he glanced at Ferguson again and found that the latter had an awkward look on his face. They nodded to each other and went back.
Back in the away dressing room at Old Trafford, the players were discussing the first half of the game animatedly.
In fact, if Manchester City's ability to seize opportunities was better, they could score more goals.
But this is something that can't be helped. No one can guarantee that they will make 100% mistakes.
The players discussed more about some mistakes made in the first half and the lack of tacit understanding between teammates. In addition, they discussed some differences in their own thinking.
These are very good and what a team must do.
For example, Suarez told Gareth Bale to try not to high-ball his crosses in the second half.
"Look at me, do I look like someone who can get a header in front of Vidic?"
Suarez's words made everyone laugh.
"Then when I touch O'Shea again in the second half, I rush a little faster for the last time and try to pass the ball as close to the small penalty area line as possible. Pay attention to grab the low ball." Gareth Bale laughed.
This time Suarez was stunned.
Others were also stunned.
Do you think this guy still has energy left in the first half?
"Holy shit, Gareth, are you still human?" Zabaleta looked sad.
They are both full-backs, so why is there such a big gap?
You're so wild on the left, I'm so nervous on the right. If I say it, where can I put my face as an Argentinian international?
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Actually, it was arranged by the boss. He said that my biggest advantage is endurance. I almost exhausted my opponent in the second half, so the left wing belongs to me." When Gareth Bale said this, his eyes flashed.
A touch of fanaticism.
When he was playing for Tottenham, he was regarded as a disaster star by everyone because he played 24 times in two seasons and Tottenham remained winless.
Although no one said anything in front of him, he saw what the media reporters and fans said.
If there was no reaction in his heart, it would be absolutely impossible.
When he joined Manchester City, he came with a lot of energy.
When he was about to buy him, Gao Shen called him and told him that he would never believe that he was a disaster star.
Based on Gao Shen's words, Gareth Bale agreed to come to Manchester City without even thinking about it.
Now, after tonight's battle, he really has confidence!
In his life, he has never played football like he does today, and has never been in the limelight like he is today.
He completely beat the arrogant and arrogant Manchester United to the point where they were unable to fight back!
Is there anything more exciting than this?
"Gareth is right!"
A high-pitched voice came from the direction of the locker room door.
"Although Manchester United has carried out rotation, many of their players have played two games in a row. Before the fifth round last weekend, they also participated in two weeks of national team competition, so their consumption is very high."
"Physical fitness will be our biggest advantage in the second half, and if I am not wrong, if it were me, I would stabilize the defense in the midfield first, so we should not be anxious in the second half and play patiently."
"Our midfielder has enough advantages to be able to hold the ball, control it, slip away opponents and wear them down."
This is an honest conspiracy.
Even if Ferguson knew, what could he do?
There are only three substitutions, how can he substitute?
"We will continue to stick to the same style of play as we did in the first half in the second half, but we must remain patient, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, and especially we must not give our opponents a chance."
"If Manchester United heavily defends the center, we will resolutely play on the wings. If they divide their forces to defend on the wings, we will concentrate our forces on the center. There will always be a chance for us to attack."
Gao Shen's words were unanimously recognized by everyone present.
Through the first half of the game, they all found that Manchester United was not as strong as they thought, and there were still many problems.
On the contrary, it was Manchester City. After controlling the ball and the rhythm of the game, Manchester United was basically forced to defend and counterattack.
"Everyone, I believe everyone knows that so far this season, we have won five consecutive victories and six consecutive victories are within reach. But what I want is not just six consecutive victories. I also want you to pass this.
One game, through this derby, will make our name as Manchester City known, and at the same time tell the whole Premier League."
"The era of Big4 is over! The era of Manchester United is also over!"
"We, Manchester City, will become the new king of the Premier League! We will create a new era that belongs to us in the Premier League!"
"It starts with this game tonight!"
"After tonight, the sky in Manchester will be blue! The sky in the Premier League will also be blue!"
