At least in this game, Wen Sheng's actions confirmed the sentence, "Over time, you become the one you hate!" ”。

At half-time, Benitez finally made up his mind, he was absolutely not willing to lose at the Etihad Stadium, and the only way to crack Manchester City's tactical vision was to disrupt Manchester City's rhythm.

As Wen Sheng once said in the European elite coach exchange, in order to break this control, one of them must be high-level pressing, and the team must really be open-minded; The second is to run, to make up for the technical disadvantage with active running, everyone knows that the faster the ball is passed, the more mistakes will be made; Third, use control to deal with control, if Napoli simply engage in defensive counterattacks, but the necessary control must still be there.

"Run, I need you to run! Chase them like mad dogs! "Benitez uses uncivilized words, Benitez has always had a businesslike relationship with the players, but he is a capable person, the title on his head, the excellent start of leading the team in Serie A and the Champions League, all this has made the Napoli players have already settled on him.

So Benitez's request was shared by these players.

After the start of the second half, Wensheng saw a different team from Napoli in the first half.

The Italian team's defensive philosophy has always been negative, for example, they prefer to build a wall in the half and wait for the opponent to break them apart, while the typical defensive characteristics of Premier League teams are aggressive, they are more willing to be proactive and more desperate to get the ball back to their side.

Napoli's defensive philosophy in the first half was slightly more negative, while in the second half their defensive philosophy was positive.

The careless Wensheng didn't expect Benitez to do this, after all, as a cup coach Benitez is too experienced, and no one is more reluctant, just conceding a goal, Wensheng thinks that Benitez doesn't need to do so badly, guard his door steadily, and then steal a ball when he has the opportunity to take away a point from the Etihad, isn't it?!

Wen Sheng was a little anxious on the sidelines, and kept beckoning the players to run, the drizzle seemed to have a tendency to get bigger and bigger, his hair was already wet, and the raindrops flowed smoothly down his cheeks into his shirt.

Hawking hurriedly sent Wen Sheng a raincoat.

"It's time to add long passes! Danny! In this situation, their forward line is very strong, we can't do too many passes at the back, there is Edin in the front, let's take advantage of it! Hawking said loudly in Wen Sheng's ear.

Wen Sheng nodded, the rain was heavy, and the risk of passing control in the backfield had to be considered, not to mention that Napoli's running was indeed too powerful.

"David! David! Wen Sheng beckoned to Silva, called him over, and quickly changed his tune as he heard the tactical idea.

Benitez also noticed that Manchester City had changed their tune, with long passes starting to increase on their side and the two teams exchanging possession more and more frequently, and Napoli began to create some offensive momentum.

Thanks to the weather and Benitez's initiative, the game changed, but the final result was a mixed match for Napoli.

Everyone played back and forth for more than ten minutes, attacking and defending each other, or Manchester City shot more, while Napoli shot relatively less than two or three times, Pandev ran and passed the ball no problem, his problem is that he can't play a single striker, his physical confrontation ability is weak, Albiol keeps a good distance from him, he doesn't make mistakes in defense, and he is very cautious.

In the 68th minute, Benitez made a substitution adjustment for this game, he replaced Pandev with Duvanzapata, and he took the small and fast road in the early stage, and now he is learning from Manchester City and taking the road of a high striker.

Duvanzapata was later a beast-type striker, what is a beast-type striker?! The physical fitness is too domineering, and the confrontation ability is very strong.

But the current Zapata is just a little fresh meat, and his body is strong, but he has not reached the height that he later had, not to mention that this kid's skills are rough and his archery skills are not good.

Zapata, who only moved from Argentina this summer, is a substitute in his own right, and despite Higuain's injury, Zapata is still not a second pick.

Zapata is a fulcrum striker, and with Zapata, Napoli don't have to break into City's bottom line or penalty area to make a fuss, and they can use crosses on the periphery.

Previously, Pandev was defended by Manchester City's central defenders Van Dijk and Albiol anyway.

Previously replaced Zapata, Benitez hoped that things could change, but Albiol taught Zapata a good lesson, how could he not have a good body as a defender, Zapata has Albiol is not bad, with his years of experience in the match, the little fresh meat Zapata has nothing to do under Albiol's defense.

Wen Sheng shook his head, Zapata is not very threatening, don't look at his tall stature, but Wen Sheng can see that this kid's judgment is a little poor, and he has been repeatedly robbed of opportunities by Albiol.

Zapata is all on it, and Benitez's offensive moves are pretty much like that, and I can't think of any other way but to do it.

Manchester City, on the other hand, have been trying to score the second goal, and the rhythm has been forced to let go, testing the ability of both sides to take chances, Manchester City are undoubtedly much better, but they only found themselves in the second half against an ordinary Reina, but a super Reina.

Reyna made a high block in front of goal and carried the pot for the Napoli defenders several times.

Stephen Hawking, the members of the coaching staff, were in a hurry on the sidelines, and the Manchester City fans didn't know how many exclaimed "It's bad luck!" ”。

Silva has been replaced by Sergio Aguero and City have reverted to the old 442 path, with Kroos dropping back into midfield and Milner on the wing.

Making this substitution is based on two considerations, in the case of a delay in getting the second goal, there is not much time, he can't let the rhythm go on like this, Kroos retreat should help control the backfield, on the other hand, because Silva is a little tired, Napoli is now making a lot of fuss on the wing, Wen Sheng simply let Milner go to the left side to help defend.

Aguero's kind of striker, who may be a lucky striker, played less than two minutes, and in the 76th minute, he received a long pass from Kroos in the midfield, successfully countered offside, and defeated Reina, who had been playing bravely, to help Manchester City extend the score to 2-0.

There is not much time left, Benitez feels that he should be finished, and in the remaining ten minutes or so, Manchester City really swing the bus (Benitez is 100% convinced that the disgusting Daniel will definitely make such an arrangement), and it is really impossible for Napoli to take a point.

Wen Sheng only started to make substitutions at this time, and he made two substitutions in a row, replacing De Bruyne and Dzeko, but it was tragic a few minutes later.

Albiol was hit by Zapata on the waist when he jumped, slipped when he landed, his steps were big, and his leg was injured.

Wen Sheng's previous substitution adjustment turned into a riotous operation, he stabbed himself, Manchester City finally had to fight with ten men, Napoli got strong and began to besiege Manchester City, Manchester City shamefully put on the bus.
