Chương 10: Chapter 212 Is Bayern going to overturn again? Guardiola, what are you doing? ?
"CSKA Moscow is very bold. They chose to attack Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. This choice may have miraculous results!"
Before He Wei finished speaking, Manchester City scored.
Only three minutes into the game, Lin Quan broke into the penalty area and passed the goalkeeper, and scored with his first shot.
He Wei's expression was a little embarrassed. Wasn't this slap in the face too fast?
CSKA Moscow, why don't you struggle a little?
We conceded the goal right after the game started and the game was over!
Xu Yang on the side smiled and said: "It seems that their choice is not very wise. I guess they have not watched Manchester City's last game before coming here."
"CSKA Moscow has no choice. If they still want to keep their hope of promotion, they will have to fight against Manchester City. If they lose this game, they can't expect to beat Bayern Munich in the next game, right?"
"Well, that's right. Meeting Manchester City and Bayern at the same time is indeed too difficult for the Russian Super League champion!"
This is the tragedy of teams outside the five major leagues. When they are grouped, they are often assigned to the groups where the giants of the five major leagues are located.
Facing these top teams, their chances of winning are very slim.
At this time, we can only fight against the odds!
After falling behind, CSKA Moscow did not give up.
Their players are still fighting tenaciously, but in the face of absolute strength, their struggle seems very futile.
In the 20th minute, Aguero scored Manchester City's second goal to expand their lead.
Ten minutes later, Yaya Toure also scored, and Manchester City was already three goals ahead.
The rhythm of this game was very similar to their last game against Norwich, and the goal was even earlier than that game!
Seeing the team knocking the Russian Super League champion to the ground and beating them at home, the Blue Moon fans who came to watch the game were extremely excited.
It's 3:0 in thirty minutes. We should be able to win this game, right?
Winning this game means they qualified for the group stage two rounds ahead of schedule!
After falling in the group stage for two consecutive years, they finally made it out of the group stage!
It's not easy!
In the box, Mansour was also filled with emotion.
When he first spent a lot of money to acquire Manchester City, he thought that with his strong financial resources, he would soon be able to dominate the football world.
However, reality soon taught him how to behave!
Although Manchester City has money, top stars are not willing to come to them.
They had to spend much higher than the market price to buy some non-top stars.
This resulted in them spending a lot of money in vain.
Moreover, the stars that were initially purchased, such as Robinho, were later proven to be acclimatized and did not meet the team's requirements, or were simply parallel imports.
In the first three years when the Abu Dhabi consortium settled in Manchester City, they spent a lot of money, but their performance improved slowly.
It wasn't until the fourth year that they barely managed to snatch a league championship trophy from Manchester United with Aguero's last-minute winner.
However, at this time, Mansour's investment in Manchester City has exceeded 1 billion pounds!
If spending a certain amount of money can bring back the championship, that would be acceptable.
However, the team's two defeats in the Champions League group stage made him realize that if you want to win the Champions League, you really don't have to have money.
He needs to buy the best players, match them with the best coaches, and then choose the tactical system that best suits the team to have a chance.
And it's just a chance!
There are too many strong teams in Europe, and football matches are not just about paper strength, but also about luck and form.
These are all uncontrollable factors.
The effect of spending money at this time is not so ideal.
"I hope I can go further in the Champions League this year!"
Mansour does not expect to win the championship all at once this year. He is well aware of the strength of his team.
Manchester City does not have championship qualities. They must at least become a giant in the Premier League before they have a chance to win the Champions League.
This year it will be enough to make it out of the group stage and complete the team's historic breakthrough.
It would be best if we could reach the quarterfinals.
During this winter break, he plans to continue to buy some people.
Because of David Silva's injury, the team's frontcourt organization work fell entirely on Lin Quan.
Although Lin Quan has done these tasks well, taking on multiple roles by himself will limit his offensive capabilities.
When Messi and Ronaldo are both brushing up data, Mansour doesn't want Lin Quan to be dragged down because of the team's platform.
He hopes to provide Lin Quan with a better platform so that he can fully unleash his potential.
Therefore, he wanted to buy Lin Quan a better passer, deliver cannonballs to him, and feed him cakes.
As for the candidates, he has taken a fancy to a few, one is Cesc Fabregas who plays for Barcelona, the other is Modric who plays for Real Madrid, and Bayern's Kroos is also a candidate.
Among the three, Mansour likes Fabregas the most because he has played in the Premier League and proven his strength.
Moreover, he and Lin Quan are both members of the Spanish national team. The cooperation between the two is more tacit and does not require too long of running-in.
In addition, Fabregas's main position in Barcelona is unstable, making him the easiest player to buy among the three.
If Fabregas can be brought to the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City will have four Spanish players in the midfield and frontcourt after David Silva returns from injury.
The offensive system organized by these four people is unstoppable not to mention sweeping across Europe, at least in the Premier League.
CSKA Moscow is really talented. Even after falling behind by three goals, not only did the team's morale not collapse, but they also played more decisively and resolutely.
In the last minute of the first half, they took advantage of the Manchester City players' reduced concentration and succeeded in a sneak attack. Cote d'Ivoire forward Doumbia scored a goal, turning the score into 3:1.
This conceded goal has little impact on the outcome of the game, but it has a great impact on Manchester City's goal difference.
Pellegrini was very dissatisfied with this conceding goal. He rarely got angry in the locker room and pointed the finger directly at Fernandinho.
The Brazilian missed someone in defense at the last moment and was not active when chasing back. This was the main reason for conceding the ball this time.
If Pellegrini had criticized privately, Fernandinho might have admitted his mistake.
But he criticized the opponent in front of so many players, and Fernandinho lost his face.
So he retorted a few words, which made Pellegrini even more angry. He felt that the other party was challenging his authority, so he directly replaced Fernandinho and asked Milner to replace him.
This kind of substitution is a big blow to the players.
Under normal circumstances, unless you are dissatisfied with your own tactical arrangements or very dissatisfied with the player's performance, you will choose to substitute during midfield.
The outside world didn't know what was going on at Manchester City at first, but after seeing Milner come on the field, he still played the same formation and tactics as the first half.
They began to realize that this was because the Chileans were dissatisfied with the Brazilians!
"What's the situation at Manchester City? Why did they make a substitution so early?"
"I don't know. I didn't see Fernandinho on the Manchester City bench. Could it be that he had a conflict with Pellegrini?"
"It's very possible. Let's go and look outside the stadium. If we can interview Fernandinho, then the headlines tomorrow will be ours!"
After several reporters with a keen sense of smell discovered the abnormal situation on Manchester City's side, they didn't even watch the game and ran out to look for someone.
…
Fernandinho's dismissal had little impact on Manchester City. On the contrary, after Milner came on, he used active running to help the team open up the situation on the right.
In the 55th minute, Manchester City once again expanded its lead.
Lin Quan dribbled the ball from the left. Aguero cooperated with him many times. After seeing that there was only one person guarding him, he immediately started running.
At this time, Lin Quan was still far away from the goal. Aguero's coquettish movement did not attract CSKA Moscow's attention. There was only one defensive player guarding him.
Seeing a loophole in the opponent's defense, Lin Quan sent a signature 45-degree arc pass close to the ground.
The ball stuck to the lawn and flew in a beautiful arc on the ground, directly bypassing the opponent's full-back and sending the ball to Aguero's feet.
"nice shot!"
Seeing Lin Quan's wonderful pass, He Wei in the commentary box couldn't help shouting, frightening Xu Yang next to him.
"Here comes Lin Quan's iconic 45-degree diagonal pass. When he was in the Bundesliga, he used this pass to assist his teammates to score many times.
In the Premier League, teams familiar with Lin Quan usually don't give him such a passing space, but CSKA Moscow doesn't seem to know this. They gave Lin Quan too much space to handle the ball, which is huge. Mistake! "
Aguero received Lin Quan's pass very comfortably, because the ball was so weird that the opponent's defender did not expect that Lin Quan could bypass their complete defense line.
As a result, there was no one around Aguero to interfere with him at this time!
Aguero did not waste Lin Quan's wonderful pass. Before the goalkeeper could react, he easily tipped the ball into the goal with his toe.
After scoring twice, Aguero pointed at Lin Quan and ran towards Lin Quan.
Lin Quan originally thought that the other party was going to hug him to celebrate, but he didn't expect Aguero to run up to him and worship him.
"No, no, no!"
After Lin Quan was stunned for a moment, he pulled Aguero up.
"How did you pass the ball just now? Isn't it amazing?"
Aguero put his arm on Lin Quan's shoulders and asked curiously.
"Just like taking a free kick, just keep the ball at a certain height from the ground!"
Lin Quan said it was very simple, but Aguero found it difficult after listening to it.
The football will continue to fall due to the effect of gravity. If it is true as he said, then the height of the football when it is just played is definitely not low.
But when he watched Lin Quan passing the ball, his football position was not high!
Some people learn this kind of thing very quickly, such as De Bruyne.
Some people are slow to learn, such as other teammates in the Werder Bremen team.
Lin Quan told them the key to this kind of passing, but except for De Bruyne, no one could pass such a ball.
This is a matter of talent. The method is left to you. If you can't kick it out on your own, there's nothing Lin Quan can do!
Manchester City's offense continued, as they were able to score a goal in the first half due to a sneak attack by the opponent, which resulted in them needing to work hard to score more goals in the second half.
The current score is only 4:1, and three goal differences are far from enough!
"What's the score at Bayern?"
Pellegrini couldn't help but be curious and asked the assistant next to him.
This round of group matches started at the same time. Manchester City basically defeated their opponents, but I don't know if there are any surprises on Bayern's side.
If Bayern loses, then Manchester City can secure first place in the group in advance!
Of course, it is basically impossible to expect a team that was beaten 5-0 by Bayern not long ago to defeat them.
"Uh, the score is 0:0!"
The assistant coach made a call to the Manchester City scout who was watching the game in the Czech Republic and got the latest information about the opponent.
"0:0?"
Hearing this score, Pellegrini couldn't believe it for a moment.
No way?
What happened to Bayern?
Although the game was away, it wasn't like he couldn't score for more than 50 minutes, right?
They have a large number of top stars such as Ribery, Robben, Gotze and so on!
"Yes, Guardiola seems to have adopted a very strange formation in the game, and the opponent happened to have a steel barrel formation. Bayern can't find a way to score for the time being, and the score is still deadlocked!"
Hearing the words of the assistant coach, Pellegrini was speechless for a moment.
Emotions: We at Manchester City worked hard to improve the goal difference here, but Bayern didn't follow at all?
Guardiola, what are you doing?
Do you think Bayern will definitely beat Manchester City in the last game?
But even if they can win the last game, if this game is tied or even lost by Plzen, what can Bayern do to compete with Manchester City for first place in the group?
"Could it be that Guardiola felt that it didn't matter whether he finished first in the group or not, so he decided to test new tactics in advance before the knockout rounds?"
Someone made a guess, and this guess was unanimously recognized by everyone.
"Well, that makes sense. Let our people investigate and report again!"
…
At the City Stadium in Pilsen, 1,500 kilometers away, Guardiola scratched his head when he looked at the bright red 0:0 score on the scoreboard.
The forwardless formation looks a bit acclimated to Bayern!
Neither Gotze nor Muller can assume Messi's role in Barcelona, and Bayern's offense is very awkward.
On Bayern Munich's bench, Mandzukic sat on the bench with an unlucky look.
He just couldn't understand why he performed so well in the league and Champions League.
Why does Guardiola always like to put himself on the bench?
Bayern currently has no center in its lineup!
A team actually doesn't want a forward. What kind of international joke is this?
Mandzukic feels that his status in the team has seriously declined.
Last season he was Bayern's champion. Heynckes thought highly of him. Mandzukic felt very good in his first season at Bayern.
It was precisely because of his outstanding performance last season that Mandzukic once had the idea of ending his life at the Allianz Arena.
However, after sitting on the bench for several consecutive games, his idea was shaken.
I really want to play for Bayern, but they don't want me!
Do you want me to sit on the bench for the rest of my life and become a Bayern star by sitting on the bench?
Forget it, after this World Cup is over, let's find a team where we can play as the main team and transfer!
Mandzukic is not young anymore. At the age of 27, he is in the prime period of his career.
He didn't want to squander his prime period on Bayern's bench, so he came up with the idea of transfer.
Just when Mandzukic was thinking wildly, he felt someone pushing him.
"Mario, the coach is calling you!"
Boateng, who was also placed on the bench, saw that Mandzukic was distracted and quickly pushed him.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Mandzukic heard Boateng's words and looked at him subconsciously.
Boateng saw Guardiola looking towards the two of them and quickly signaled to Mandzukic.
"Mario, go warm up, the team needs you!"
Only then did Mandzukic hear Guardiola calling his name.
After hearing the last half of the sentence, he stood up from the bench, quickly took off his jacket, and ran to the sidelines to warm up!
It's finally time to play!
It's only 55 minutes now, there's still time!
After asking Mandzukic to warm up, Guardiola called Martinez up again and asked him to warm up too.
It seemed that he was planning to replace two people in one go.
Seeing Guardiola calling two players from the bench to warm up, the Bayern players on the field felt a little nervous.
Under Guardiola, no one in the team except Neuer has a stable starting position.
This guy likes to change formations too much. Under him, the players' positions are changed so much that even the players themselves don't know where they will appear in the next game.
Four minutes later, the result of the substitution came out.
Mandzukic came on, replacing Thomas Muller who was not performing well.
Martinez came on and replaced Kroos, who was also a little lost.
This substitution made the Bayern fans who came to watch the game very dissatisfied.
Muller and Kroos are both players from Bayern's own youth training. They came to the team very early, played for the team for many years, and are deeply loved by Bayern fans.
They don't have a problem with Guardiola's substitution, but they have a problem with it specifically for players from Bayern's own youth training!
Mandzukic didn't care about this. After high-fiving the frustrated Muller, he ran onto the court excitedly, not missing any offensive opportunity, running wildly in the frontcourt, pressing and fighting for the top.
At this time, 60 minutes of the game had passed. Under the siege of Bayern players, the players of Plzen Victory had already lost their physical strength.
And Mandzukic is the kind of player who is physically strong, energetic and mentally strong.
He plays center, and his impact is much stronger than a pseudo-center like Thomas Muller!
Mandzukic's efforts were soon rewarded. In the 64th minute of the game, he overpowered the opponent's defender in a top battle and headed the ball into the goal.
Less than five minutes later, Mandzukic scored.
The on-site commentators, Bayern fans and many players on the field felt that Guardiola's substitution was a stroke of genius.
However, Guardiola himself smiled bitterly: Half of his reforms at Bayern failed!
