Chapter Forty-Nine: Strong Team!
No one expected Manchester City's second goal to come so quickly, and what they didn't expect was that it was still Darren Bent, who had just scored a goal, that is, it was his second goal in the game.
It took less than half time for Darren Bent to complete his brace and completely dominate the Manchester Stadium with a goal!
Manchester City fans were still quite surprised that Darren Bent was able to score two goals in the first half, but the moment the goal was scored, the Manchester Stadium erupted, and the City fans let out a shocking cheer to celebrate the goal.
Some fans were also surprised by Darren Bent's performance, but Darren Bent is a Manchester City player, he is helping Manchester City score, and now is their time to celebrate, as for why Darren Bent can score two goals, they don't care so much!
In contrast, some media outlets are more embarrassed.
One of the most embarrassing was Manchester Stadium commentator Berbart, who, just as Darren Bent scored, shouted for the goal and commented on Dalen Bent's performance, saying at the time, "He was lucky to start the first game at Manchester Stadium and score so quickly"
"But a player has to rely on real quality, after all, you can't always have a good chance, he should learn more like Anelka or Andy Cole"
That last sentence was like a supplementary note, and in fact, Belbart didn't take it to heart, but he did say it, and now Darren Bent is scoring again in a short time. He's more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Belbart had a relatively small impact, he was only a commentator (broadcaster) at the Manchester stadium, and only the fans in the audience could hear the broadcast. And most fans don't care at all about it, which may make him less embarrassed, but he still feels a little ashamed, especially since his work is still biased towards Manchester City's commentary.
So Belbart simply pretended to be very excited, as if he couldn't help himself with excitement and talked about the goal.
“Goooal!!!!!!”
"The ball is in!! The ball is in!! The ball is in!! ”
"Darren Bent!! Darren Bent!! ”
"It was a fantastic, brilliant goal! It's the perfect match between Anelka and Darren Bent, and it's a perfect show to remember! ”
"This is City's second goal of the new season!"
"It was an absolutely great goal!"
“”
Listen to this exciting commentary. It is estimated that some Manchester City fans will wonder - what is 'great' about the second goal of the new season at Manchester Stadium? But they don't dig deeper, but some fans have fallen in love with Belbart because of it. Because his commentary is very passionate, he knows that he is the purest Manchester City fan when he listens to it!
At the same time, Manchester City also began to celebrate the goal on the pitch.
Darren Bent hugged Anelka after completing his goal. He himself was excited. Anelka was also very happy with the goal.
It wasn't his goal, but it was his assist.
Anelka was a little jealous of Darren Bent's two goals, but the assist was absolutely a stroke of genius, and when he was dribbling the ball to break through, he spotted the gap on that side and passed the ball, and in the moment of the pass, he felt that no teammate could catch the ball. Unexpectedly, Darren Bent ran to the position, and this completed the goal.
So he's still happy with the goal. Because when it comes to goals, his fantastic assists are definitely mentioned.
On the other hand, if there is no goal, there is no way to talk about assists.
After the two hugged, the team-mates rushed over, and it was clear that Anelka was not the only one who was 'jealous' of Darren Bent's goal, in fact, everyone in the team was jealous, even the defenders.
This is the first game of the new season at the Manchester Stadium!
For the whole Manchester City team and Manchester City fans, this is equivalent to the opening game at home, a very meaningful game, and the limelight has been taken away by this kid who has just joined the team!
Before the first half had passed, he had scored two goals??
TMD, this ball can't be kicked!
In contrast to the cheerful atmosphere at Manchester City, there was a dead silence in the Derby County dugout, with manager Adrian Boothroyd standing on the sidelines, feeling his head when the cameras came.
It was 1:0 just now, they still have a chance, but now it's 2:0, do they still have a chance?
Adrian Bosroyd has had the answer long ago.
Maybe he just didn't want to admit it, but in fact, before the game started, he didn't have much confidence in the game, and even when the game was suppressed at the beginning, he knew that he had to be prepared for defeat.
He has studied Wansheng's 'OSF', which is now the tactics of Derby County, and naturally has a fairly thorough understanding, and he knows that when the team is suppressed, the tactics are basically ineffective.
So he also knows how tough this game is.
Then it was 1:0 just now, and then 2:0 now, so how is the game played?
The biggest headache is that the opponent's two forwards seem to be very good, and even if the defense is compressed for a dense defense, it is difficult to limit the opponent's play.
Anelka doesn't have to say much, he is definitely a superstar player.
Although there has been no special performance in the past two years, it seems to be a bit silent, but don't forget that Anelka was already a £20 million star three years ago!
The young player who was new to the Premier League seemed to be no threat at all, but he didn't expect to explode when playing against his own team, and two consecutive goals almost decided the outcome of the game, making the team seem to have no chance at all.
And on their own side
Bosroyd glanced across the pitch and then at the bench, and the only striker he could find worthy of mention was the big man on the pitch, Burton Reiter. But he's just a center, even if he's a genius? So far this season, he hasn't scored a single goal.
Four games. Not scoring, as a striker goalscorer, is definitely equivalent to entering a goal drought, as the team's main striker will definitely be a lot of pressure, but Bolton Reiter does not score, now it is the pressure of head coach Boothroyd.
Why?
Burton-Reiter is a player from the Derby County Academy, so he is naturally favored by local fans and media. Now that he and Alfred have become stars with the Derby County label, they are described as Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, and the media would never speak ill of such players. Even if he doesn't do well occasionally.
And, more importantly, the media also has something to say about why Bolton Reiter was able to score all the time when Wan Sheng was in charge. And be you Bosroyd. Bolton Reiter is in a goal drought?
Is it a question of Bolton-Reiter's personal ability and form, or is it a question of your Bosroyd's ability to employ people!?
It's hard to say!
After all, everything from the game to the players, inside and outside the team, it was a headache for Bosroyd, he knew his situation, if he continued like this, he would have a failed top-flight coaching experience, and when other clubs knew about him in the future, they would also know about his failure to coach Derby County. Conversely, if he does well. Even if you leave Derby, you don't have to worry about finding other good teams.
Bosroyd was not willing to fail.
He pulled himself back together, straightened his waist and yelled at the players to get back to the game, which really touched many Derby County fans, who felt that the new manager had no skills, but at least he worked hard to get into the game
The first half was not over yet, the score of the two teams had become 2-0, and thanks to a goal from Darren Bent, Manchester City led Derby County at home.
By this time, most of them thought that Derby County had little hope and that the victory would only belong to Manchester City, so various media outlets changed their perspectives, not caring much about the game process, but beginning to care about the performance of the players of both teams.
Derby County are naturally on the lookout for two rising stars, Burton Reitt and Alfred, while Manchester City are on the radar for Darren Bent as he scored two goals.
When the stadium camera points to the front, Darren Bent will always be found, and the live TV screen will show what he is doing, and the commentator will also mention two sentences in passing-
"Darren Bent is running forward."
"He stopped, as if he was waiting for his team-mate, oh he got the pass, but he passed it back to Morris"
'He's running into the box, where will there be chances? Barton made a faulty pass and City's goal was blocked"
“”
After a period of time, the media covering the game found that Darren Bent's performance was really ordinary, and most of the time there was nothing to talk about, even if he got the ball, many times he passed it directly back to his teammates, and there would be no wonderful passes, breakthroughs, etc., so they gradually lost their excitement.
Many people are thinking, "Maybe he scored two goals and was really lucky"
Instead, they focused on the game as City took the absolute lead, continuing to keep Derby County under pressure after taking a two-goal lead.
Although Bosroyd has been yelling from the sidelines in the hope of arousing the fighting spirit of the players on the field, this has not had much effect, one is that his time at Derby County is too short, he is not majestic enough, and his ability has not been recognized by the players, and the other is that many Derby players have little confidence in the game because they have to face a team led by Wan Sheng.
That's a win!
Many players in Derby County have a very high reverence for Wan Sheng, which also means that they trust Wan Sheng very much and believe in Wan Sheng's ability, so when they meet Manchester City, they are thinking, can the current team beat the team led by Wan Sheng?
Most people feel hopeless.
In other words, they were already not confident in the game, not to mention that they were even less confident now that they were still led by Manchester City by two goals.
So it is conceivable how much of a practical effect Boothroyd's shouts had.
The pitch has completely turned into Manchester City time, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and fans and media can watch the game with peace of mind.
Most of the English teams are technically rough, this is not a contempt for English football, but the actual situation, because the football environment in England is originally biased towards physical confrontation, many teenagers believe that physical exercise is more important than football skills, and the law enforcement scale of English football has also strengthened the attention of various teams to physical confrontation.
So in England, such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and now Derby County and Manchester City, there are very few teams that focus on attack.
The match between Manchester City and Derby County can also be said to be a classic.
Both teams are built by Wansheng, one is the past, the other is the present, and both teams use the tactics formulated by Wansheng, which is like a civil war of 'Wansheng football', and the civil war is still very good, because both teams are focused on attack.
Even if Manchester City took the initiative on the pitch, the game was still beautiful, and Derby County were not completely helpless, and with the foundation of last season, they were still able to play a good attack on occasion.
This kind of game is really enjoyable for fans to watch!
In the 43rd minute, City again played a delicate combination, and after a series of dazzling passes, the ball was handed to full-back Sinclair, who stabbed the ball in front of the bottom line, and before the Derby County defence could react, Anelka had already rushed over to send the ball into the back of the net.
"Beautiful! Pretty! GOOAL! ”
"The goal is Anelka! But the goal is not the point, the point is the previous cooperation! It was a brilliant goal and the whole process was a delight to watch! Football from the back to the front, from the middle to the wing and back to the middle, during which Derby County failed to touch the ball once, Manchester City almost passed the ball into the Derby County goal, the goalkeeper Karachi was deceived, he had no way at all! ”
"The last shot was the easiest, I dare say you can get the ball in that position, of course, I'm not saying that Anelka is lucky, he can get to the position and it must be part of the cooperation!"
"Now I can say for sure that after a summer, Manchester City have completely changed, their personnel has not changed drastically, but they have completed a big transformation - from a team with an ambiguous tactical style to a strong team that can play a good game and win!"
"That's what changed after Wan Sheng arrived, and now we can understand why the Manchester City media reported so much when Man City announced that Wan Sheng was the manager" (to be continued......
