With Manchester City's ability and condition, there is no problem in fighting with Manchester United, especially at Manchester Stadium. In his home game, the team will be more familiar with it and perform better. Wan Sheng naturally has the confidence to let the team compete with Manchester United in the last game. ∑,

The situation is a bit unexpected now. There is a problem with the team's right side, and Robbie Fowler seems to be in poor condition.

Manchester City's tactics are a whole. They have higher requirements for the whole than other teams. Such big problems have caused loopholes in the team's offense and defense, while Manchester United is offense and defense are much easier to play.

This is why Manchester City didn't play well at the start.

Many people saw that Manchester City was a little passive and was scored another goal, and they felt that Manchester City was in a state as a whole. But in fact, the real reason was that Robbie Fowler did not perform well on the right, which led to the influence of the entire team.

Wan Sheng knew this very well, so he was ready to replace him.

He is not the kind of coach who is cruel and does not give players some chances, but this game is very important, and Robbie Fowler's performance is too poor, so he planned to substitution immediately, but after thinking about it, he decided to take a look.

It's still too early now. If the substitution is too early, the team's arrangement will be missed, which will also cause a significant blow to the psychology of the players who are replaced.

So let's take a look.

Wan Sheng started to watch the game seriously, especially when watching Robbie Fowler's performance. He didn't understand why Robbie Fowler suddenly performed so poorly. He was in good condition in training.

There must be a reason for this.

If something hadn't happened in life, it would have been something that happened on the spot, or it might have been impossible to adapt to the hot atmosphere for a while. After all, it is normal for a poor performance at the beginning to affect the subsequent mentality and performance.

But when Wan Sheng continued to watch, he realized that this was not the reason.

He quickly frowned.

He found that Robbie Fowler was completely afraid of one of the opponent's players - Alan Smith Smith. Smith and Fowler often met in games. He always rushed towards Fowler directly. Fowler was a little cowardly when facing Smith's defense, and he could hardly use Smith's hard steel.

"Fowler is afraid of Smith!" This is obvious.

When facing Alan Smith's defense, Fowler almost never chooses to break through. He always passes the ball out the first time. Even Smith's move comes as soon as he passes the ball. In addition, Fowler is always at a disadvantage in competing with Smith. Even if he is not at a disadvantage when fighting for his body, he still doesn't want to fight Smith head-on.

This is the problem.

When a player is afraid of another player facing the position, you can imagine what kind of performance it will be.

Wan Sheng quickly thought of the reason why Robbie Fowler would be like this. In fact, not only Fowler, many players did not want to play against Alan Smith. The latter's reputation for being a rough style spread throughout Britain. Fighting against him is a competition of his body again and again, and he must be vigilant at any time to dangerous tackles.

Many media say that Alan Smith is a 'thug', and many people think that his style of play is similar to Robbie Keane, and it is precisely because of this. Manchester United fans regard him as Robbie Keane's heir.

But in fact, Alan Smith is an all-round player. He not only has a barbaric style of play, but also competes in midfield, forward and defender positions. It is precisely because of this that he can have more playing time at Manchester United. Ferguson intends to train him, so he has more playing time.

In this game, he served as Manchester United's left back.

Let’s talk about Robbie Fowler. Fowler’s career has been ruined by injuries for several years. He doesn’t want to be injured anymore. Wan Sheng talked to him about this issue before, and his mentality has improved a little, but it is still very weak to directly compete with very tough players like Alan Smith. But it is impossible to be afraid of injuries at all. Especially for people like Fowler who have had an injury history that affects his career, they always have some pressure on injuries. Wan Sheng knows that Fowler will find it difficult to get rid of this psychological shadow in a short time. He needs more adaptability and confidence. This depends on games and time, as well as some psychological treatments to accumulate. But now Robbie Fowler’s performance is definitely a problem. He is not familiar with the right side, and coupled with the weakness of Alan Smith, the team’s right-hand side is completely disastrous and even affects the whole team. This is definitely not allowed to continue.

So Wan Sheng no longer hesitated. After he made a judgment, he immediately asked Ivan Krue to warm up, and soon Manchester City raised the substitution card.

The game just reached the first minute!

At this time, even if he lost a goal, no one expected that Manchester City would make a decisive substitution. So when he saw the substitution and signal on the sidelines, the commentator was stunned. Berbart said blankly, "Is Manchester City going to make a substitution?"

George Woodgate is worthy of being a professional commentator. He reacted immediately and the camera soon pointed to the sidelines. "Manchester City is going to make a substitution. Ivan Crew is going to play. He replaced No. 7 and Robbie Fowler!"

"It seems that Wan Sheng can no longer tolerate Fowler's form. In the previous game, Fowler was indeed a little out of shape. He was entangled by Alan Smith, but it's a bit early to substitution now!?"

Even George Woodgate, who has always been confident in Wan Sheng, said this. It is conceivable how other media commented on substitutions. They all think that it is too early to substitutions now. After all, the game has only been in minutes. At this time, the players on both sides have even just started. It can be said that the game has just entered the intensity.

Before that, it was normal for players to be out of shape, because they had not fully adapted to the game.

Robbie Fowler does not perform well, but maybe his performance will be much better next?

Many people think so, so many TV commentators who broadcast the live game questioned, "Wan Sheng's substitution is a bit hasty."

"This is his denial of his roster!"

"He should give Fowler more time, after all, it's only 20 minutes, and Fowler's performance is not that bad."

As the person involved, Robbie Fowler also felt very depressed. Any player would feel unhappy if he was replaced so early, but while he was unhappy, Fowler actually breathed a long sigh.

The pressure was so great when facing Alan Smith.

This 'savage' guy has too rough movements. He almost got tackled several times at the beginning. After that, he always subconsciously protects himself and has some psychological shadows when confronting Smith.

He is very clear about the reasons for his poor performance, but when he thinks that "the consequence of impulse is injury", he always feels worried, so his performance is affected.

Fowler still felt unhappy when he was replaced so early.

When he was about to end, although he waved his hand with Ivan Cru, anyone could see clearly the dissatisfaction on his face.

Wan Sheng did not comfort him. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled him to do it, and said, "Look at how others kicked here!" He did not name his name, but everyone knew who he was talking about.

Robbie Fowler was a little dissatisfied, but he was convinced by Wansheng, so he put on his coat and put his hands on his knees and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Ivan Kru has become the protagonist on the field.

Just now, Robbie Fowler was also the protagonist, because his performance was really bad. The camera pointed at it again and again, because Manchester United broke through several attacks, and he would also appear on the camera, but that was not a good mirror.

Now Ivan Kreu is not the protagonist because of his performance on the court. Instead, his appearance has special significance to him - this is his first chance to play since he came to Manchester City.

Many media are also introducing Ivan Kru.

Last season, Ivan Crew was a small celebrity. He had very stable performances in the league and the League Cup, and had several times been selected for the best in England in every round, but Ivan Crew's performance fell sharply this season. He even struggled to get a chance to play. In addition, he was unable to enter the England team, so he was gradually forgotten by fans.

Now he is back in his attention. "Ivan Crew, who replaced Robbie Fowler, performed very consistently and outstandingly in Derby County last season, and is also the second most goals scored by Derby County. Last month, he chose to trace the wins to Manchester City."

"But after coming to Manchester City, he has never been given a chance to play. He was on the roster for the first two times, but he still failed to play."

"Now he has obtained playing time early, we can look forward to his performance." All that can be said is the media that support Manchester City.

Neutral media and hostile media will not talk much about Ivan Crew, because in their opinion, Ivan Crew is not very famous, is not young anymore, and has no value to talk too much. He just replaced Robbie Fowler, who performed poorly. That's all, in Manchester City's entire lineup, the midfield and the frontcourt that attract attention, because these two positions include Morris, Joey Patton and young young player Darren Bent.

What these media did not expect was that Ivan Cruy attracted a lot of attention with his performance because his confrontation with Alan Smith was quite exciting.

Needless to say, Alan Smith's rude style is, but Ivan Crew is not weak at all. He is not as rough as Smith, but he is not at all inferior when fighting. When the two of them physically fight, Ivan Crew still has a little advantage.

The two fought several times in a row, but Ivan Kru did not show weakness, but instead took a little advantage.

This is a bit surprising.

Alan Smith's strength is still worthy of recognition. In addition, his style of play is a bit rough, and it is difficult for ordinary players to gain advantage against him alone. But now Ivan Crew has done it. He has always performed plainly in Derby County and has never had a chance to play when he came to Manchester City. How could he have such a strength state?

Many people are puzzled by this, because the current performance alone can prove that Ivan Kru is a very good player. How could such a player not get a chance to play in Derby County and even leave the team in the winter!?

So they paid more attention to Ivan Kru's performance.

Wansheng was also a little surprised to see Ivan Kru's performance, but was not too surprised.

He believed in Ivan Kru.

This is not only a spiritual confidence, but also a data manifestation, that is, Ivan Kru's ability value.

Ivan Kru was one of the first players to train with him. Until he left Derby, Ivan Kru had a comprehensive range of abilities, which was second only to Morris. He had excellent abilities in all aspects, and two were stronger than Morris. One was his best free kick, and the other was physical confrontation.

Because I have been in the low-level league for a long time and can only be a substitute player, Ivan Kru's body is not weak. In addition, Ivan Kru's physical confrontation evaluation has long exceeded '85', which is quite high.

After Wan Sheng left Derby County, he lost all kinds of bonuses of "coaching skills", the team's tactical adjustments and his dull ability led to Ivan Kreu's performance not being outstanding, and he was not liked by the new coach Adrian Bosroyd. Therefore, the number of appearances was affected, which made him dissatisfied with coach Bosroyd, and his natural game condition was also affected.

But Ivan Kru's ability is still worthy of recognition.

He has at least reached the level of a main player of the mid-range Premier League team. Now he has come to Manchester City and has various game skills attributes, and the player's elder double ability bonus. In terms of personal ability attribute evaluation, he is not even inferior to Joey Patton. He is far from Morris, but not much difference. When it comes to playing against Alan Smith, his performance will naturally not be at a disadvantage.

Compared with one data, Ivan Krew's comprehensive ability evaluation value is '87', while Alan Smith's comprehensive ability evaluation value is only '86'. Ivan Krew also has the bonus effect of various coaches' competition skills, so it is normal to not lose the disadvantage in the match against Alan Smith.

When he saw Ivan Kru's performance, Wan Sheng took it for granted, and he just showed his normal strength.

Wan Sheng is actually very satisfied. Because this is the first time Ivan Krew has played for Manchester City.

It would be good to be able to perform normally in the first appearance. After all, it is not only personal ability that affects the players' performance, but also the cooperation of the whole team. Ivan Krew has been unable to get playing time for a long time. Because of this, Manchester City's tactics are somewhat different from those of Derby County, and Ivan Krew is not familiar with other teammates, so he needs more training to adapt.

At this time, Ivan Kruy was very excited. He had not played in the Premier League for nearly three months.

He was on the roster twice before and did not get playing time. He felt a little depressed because of this. Now he finally played, and he played in the game within 20 minutes. He was the right sidewalk he was best at.

This position made him feel very comfortable. He didn't feel anything when he went to the position against Alan Smith and fought head-on. He didn't feel anything. A low-level player like him would not be afraid of a savage style. You should know that the lower the league, the lower the technical content of football, and the more important it is to pay attention to physical confrontation. The Premier League is a high-level league in any case. It is difficult to compare to the second-level or even the third-level league.

After experiencing too many low-level leagues, Ivan Crew has long been used to it. When Smith tried to scare him with rough movements, he easily played football, which seemed like he was playing with his opponent.

Alan Smith was immediately angry!

Before facing Robbie Fowler, he found a lot of confidence, so he felt that he should continue to do this. The person who came up was Ivan Cru, a guy he was not familiar with, but looked very kind, so he fought in the same way, but did not achieve any good results.

Seeing the opponent "playing" skills in front of him, Alan Smith couldn't help but fall to the ground and tackle the ball directly.

His movements are very big!

Ivan Kru was shocked and prepared to dodge the ball forward while immediately dodging to the side, but his movements were still a little slow, and he was led to the ground by Alan Smith.

"This is a foul!" Berbart shouted immediately.

Manchester City fans in the audience booed. They had long been dissatisfied with Alan Smith, who was rude. Now this guy has tackled their players again. Although they are not familiar with Ivan Crew, this does not affect their support for the entire team.

Each camera pointed to the fallen Smith and Crew.

Smith stood up from the ground, raised his hands innocently, and then Ivan Crue also stood up, rubbing his right leg, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing this scene, Wan Sheng let out a long sigh. He didn't want to see any player being injured again.

Referee Weber rushed over. He ignored Smith's innocence and directly took out a yellow card at him and awarded Manchester City a set piece.

There is a reason for Weber's decisiveness.

This is a Manchester derby. The game that is paid attention to and broadcast live to the world. Naturally, there should be no big problems with the penalty. The key problem is that Smith's move just now was too obvious, which was a deliberate tackle. Regardless of whether Ivan Cru was tackled or not, Ivan Cru must be sympathized with, because the scene just now was too easy to be injured. On the contrary, Alan Smith's reputation was not good, and coupled with the overly dangerous action, he would never be sympathized with.

Alan Smith's yellow card cannot escape, although he explained to the referee that he had not tackled the person just now, it was meaningless.

Of course, Alan Smith couldn't change the penalty no matter how he did it, but many people noticed this set piece.

This position is less than 30 meters away from the goal and is about 60 degrees in the positive direction of the goal. If you are a superb free kicker, you may be able to make a penalty directly.

But do Manchester City have free kick experts?

Perhaps only one Anelka can be imagined, but the Frenchman was injured and could not enter the roster at all. The young player David Silva is also half, but his situation is the same as Anelka, and he is injured and unable to play.
