Chapter 136 Everyone is very utilitarian
In this state of the game, the first half came to the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, Lineker let out a long breath: "This first half is over... Watching the game and seeing my heart feel uncomfortable...the constant interruptions and interruptions, I was a little emotional just now...the game was interrupted...."
"Yeah, it's so uncomfortable to watch the football, let alone the players who play on the pitch. So in the first half, Manchester United didn't get any decent chances except for that free kick. Because they played well themselves It's very awkward, this game is completely out of the normal track..."
Andy Gray said.
"But if Manchester City still can't score in the second half, it will be beneficial to Manchester United if they continue in such a stalemate. After all, they are leading now..."
"I'm afraid that Manchester City's foul tactics will make Manchester United players impetuous... We have seen several conflicts in the first half, although they are not big, just some bickering... But this is a very dangerous signal .”
Lineker said worriedly.
"Let's wait and see..."
Andy Gray said, "Let's see what adjustments the coaches of both sides will make during the intermission..."
The telecast cut right to a close-up of Pellegrini and Mourinho.
Mourinho in the camera is very serious. Although his team is ahead in the score, he doesn't look like a leader at all.
Manchester United did not play well in the first half. Except for the free kick goal, it can almost be said to be a failure, so it is understandable that he has a serious expression.
Pellegrini's expression was not relaxed either.
This kind of foul tactics is actually a blow to his team. In the first half, he already had three players get yellow cards. If he continues to play like this, maybe he will have players before the game is over. was sent off...
And the offense he was looking forward to didn't come out -- because Manchester United also strengthened their defensive strength after taking the lead.
The two sides are at a stalemate,
But this stalemate is not good for Manchester City.
After all, they are the one behind.
However, during the intermission, Pellegrini still praised the performance of the players in the first half, mainly for their ability to execute tactics.
Foul tactics This kind of extreme tactics, they can all execute meticulously on the court.
This actually reflects Pellegrini's prestige and status in the Manchester City team from another aspect, which shows that he has successfully controlled the team.
Pellegrini told his players, don't think about other things, just keep playing like this.
.......You can all see the effect, when we push the foul spot further forward, Manchester United's threat to us plummets...... Li Ao also tried a few free kicks in the game Shots, but no goals, why? Because the distance from the goal is too far, Li Ao's ideal shooting range should be in the range of 25 meters to 32 meters...so we have to avoid this area Let him get the ball!"
Pellegrini talked endlessly, drawing on the tactical blackboard while talking.
"So we have to keep playing like this, keep the danger of conceding the ball away from us first, and then think about scoring goals... Keep irritating them, but be careful yourself, players with yellow cards don't do this kind of thing. ... Once the mentality of the Manchester United team is out of balance, that is our chance!"
This is Pellegrini's plan. He didn't think about playing the whole game with foul tactics, which is courting death and unrealistic.
On the one hand, the foul tactics are to prevent Li Ao from scoring too many chances. On the other hand, the meaning of foul tactics is to irritate the opponent and make the opponent lose his cool. Cool but possible.
If there is any Manchester United player who has been acting impulsively and suddenly revenges Manchester City players...
That's good, he will definitely be sent off.
At that time, the number of people will be one less, and the mentality will be unbalanced
So what if Manchester City are one goal behind?
Meanwhile, in another dressing room, Mourinho told his players with a stern face: "...don't fall into the trap of Manchester City, don't fight them. They fouled Now, punishing them is the referee's job, don't go up, the opponent wants us to lose our composure, and we must not let them get what they want... If they continue to play like this, then we will withdraw the defense, and then play a defensive counterattack, Anyway, we are leading now. You must have this psychological advantage..."
Although Li Ao scored a goal with a free kick, Mourinho has no intention of relying on Li Ao's free kick.
After all, things like free kicks have technical content, but they also have a lot of luck.
The free kick scoring rate is definitely not as high as everyone thinks, it is not a penalty kick.
A player can hit 80 percent of his shots in training, but he may lose half of his shots on the field.
Pinning the hope of winning on Li Ao's free kick is simply an insult to the head coach.
So he didn't let the whole team cooperate with Li Ao's free kick, and desperately fought for the chance of being fouled in the opponent's frontcourt.
Anyway, Manchester United is leading by one goal, if they can't do it, they will stick to it. If they hold on to the advantage of leading by one goal, they can still win this competition.
As for whether this game is still worth watching...
That's not what Mourinho had in mind. .
