I don't know when, Wan Sheng has already stood up from his seat.

His eyes were fixed on the front of Bolton's goal, and the moment the football flew into Bolton's goal, he clenched his fists tightly, and the back of his hand jumped up!

Darren Bent was not surprised by his outstanding performance.

Whether it is ability or state, Darren Bent is quite good, so it is actually very normal for Darren Bent to stabilize his mentality and calmly complete the cooperation with his teammates in front of the goal, and Wansheng is excited about this cooperation.

Darren Bent to Anelka, a simple goalmouth pass, revealed too much.

It's a tactical fit, as long as everyone runs correctly and doesn't even need to know where their teammates are, they can make the pass, and their teammates will arrive at the right time to find good opportunities in front of goal.

This is also the cooperation that Wansheng has been emphasizing!

But even in training, this kind of cooperation is difficult to play, because every attack is different, the team has not been training together for a long time, and the cooperation cannot be so skillful and tacit, because of this, the cooperation of Darren Bent and Anelka surprised Wansheng extremely much.

Not only him, but Diamares next to him also stood up, he opened his mouth, staring at the direction of Bolton's goal, and didn't even react when the ball went in, "Look! Wan Sheng, Bengt made a good pass! ”

"yes!" Wan Sheng smiled excitedly, and then reacted, "We shouldn't say this, we should celebrate the goal!" Haha"

"Haha!"

The two glanced at each other, and immediately raised their arms and fell into celebration with the others, and at the same time, the entire Manchester stadium had already fallen into a sea of celebration

Compared to the excitement of the Manchester City, the Bolton people are silent.

At the beginning of the game, their fans shouted a few words and confronted the Manchester City fans, but now they have no energy, and Bolton's performance on the main field is really disappointing.

They were expecting the team to take the lead!

After learning that the opponent's starting line was a rookie centre-back pairing, they were expecting the team to break down the Manchester City backline. Then scored goals one by one and completely completed a big victory, but the gap between the front and back was a bit too big, and the so-called 'rookie center-back combination' of the opponent was a bit too strong. One of them, a centre-back, even became the protagonist on the pitch, is not at all the 'weakness' of Manchester City, as reported in the media.

That's all it takes, the key is that the team can't attack the 'weakness' for a long time. And then it was scored by the Manchester City people!

Seeing their own goal breached, the Bolton fans were also silent, which was tantamount to disappointment and disappointment, and it was too far from their previous expectations, and now they can only listen to the cheers of Manchester City people, but they can do nothing.

Not only on the pitch, but also many Bolton fans in front of the TV were silent.

The fans in the square or in the bar put down their beers and fell silent with the other fans, and they experienced the feeling of a serious mismatch between reality and expectations. Quite disappointed with the team's performance.

In fact, they still have doubts in their hearts.

The reason why they are looking forward to the game before the game is because the media reported a lot of content, all of which are talking about Manchester City's 'weakness', the game is not easy to play, Bolton wants to win easily, etc., in short, it means that Manchester City is in crisis, and Bolton is easy to take the opportunity to win the game, but the gap between the process of the game and the report is really a bit big, and Manchester City has no passivity at all. At best, the two teams were evenly matched, and after 30 minutes, anyone could tell that Bolton had slowed down and City had managed to keep the situation at bay. Coupled with this goal, it is clear that the course of the game is seriously inconsistent with the media reports.

Why is this so?

Aren't all those media analysing the game all sorts of football experts and professors? How can this error occur?

They really don't understand.

Maybe a Chinese fan can tell them disdainfully that the so-called experts and professors are a group of people who can talk nonsense, of course, and now they can only experience it themselves.

In contrast, Manchester City fans feel the opposite.

They were worried about the team before the game. Because all kinds of rhetoric in the media were not good for Manchester City, when it came to the game, what they saw was that the team had a new and powerful central defender who deserved to be recognized, the Portuguese central defender, who guarded the front of the penalty area tightly and did not let the Boltons go beyond the thunder pool.

And then there's the goal that came from this wonderful combination!

They were so excited after seeing the goal that they shouted wildly to vent, which also sent the Manchester Stadium into a carnival high-tide

"The ball is in! Anelka! Brilliant fit! ”

'Darren Bent dribbled into the box and almost in front of the goalkeeper, unselfishly passed the ball to his team-mates and Anelka got his chance and he just pushed the ball into the empty net!'

"An unbelievably wonderful fit!"

"Darren Bent hasn't been at Manchester City for long, but judging by this goal, he has fully adapted to Manchester City, or rather, to the new style of play brought by manager Wan Sheng!"

"From now on, we can be sure that Manchester City have a great new combination up front, Nicolas Anelka and Darren Bent! We believe they will be a formidable strike pair in the Premier League."

“”

The commentators kept talking about the goal just now, they are actually very professional, ordinary people just look at the goal as a goal, but they can see a lot of things from the goal, among which the cooperation of Darren Bent and Anelka is naturally quite important.

But if Wan Sheng heard their conclusion, he would definitely smile disdainfully.

Darren Bent and Anelka's pairing!?

Including this game, Anelka has scored four goals, Darren Bent scored two goals in the game against Derby County, the two together have scored a total of six goals, accounting for almost half of the team's goals, the two pair of strikers does sound good, but the reason why the two can play together now is just a patchwork, the duo is definitely not a wonderful combination, let alone a combination.

First of all, both are the kind of players who are good at playing as a first striker.

First striker. It's not about position, it's about 'right to fire', that is, the kind of player who is good at scoring goals!

Like Henry, Vanney. They all belong to this type of player, or should I say, the vast majority of those who can be ranked in the top 10 of the goal list are this kind of players, and they are the absolute core of the team's forward line. But having two cores is not a good thing, which will confuse the 'right to fire' in the frontcourt, after all, it is enough for a team to have a firepower point in the frontcourt, and it is better for players in other positions to choose to support this firepower point.

So the pairing of Anelka and Darren Bent is very problematic.

The best choice is actually Anelka to play the second striker, let Darren Bent play the first striker, because Anelka has a strong comprehensive ability, passing and the overall situation is better, he can still create a lot of opportunities as the second striker, but Anelka is on the field. His style of play is a bit of a singular one, and he rarely gives up opportunities to his teammates.

At this point, Wansheng also talked to Anelka, but the effect was not great.

It's not just a psychological problem, it's also a style that has been developed over the years, whenever he has the opportunity, his first reaction is always to find his own chance, maybe this is also the confidence that a top striker must have, in short, Anelka has enough ability. But it's hard to get used to the 'assister' position.

So Wansheng has been hoping that Robbie Fowler can make a comeback.

In this way, the first striker has two options, Anelka and Darren Bent, and Robbie Fowler can be qualified for the second striker. Andy Cole is capable of playing in the frontcourt position, and with the addition of Robbie Fowler, it will be much easier to arrange a starter in the frontcourt

Nicolas Anelka and Darren Bent didn't have to think too much about it, they just knew they had just completed a brilliant combination.

Anelka hugged Darren Bent tightly after scoring a goal!

Now he's feeling pretty good!

In the last season, due to a conflict with coach Keegan. He is not trusted at all, it is impossible for him to play in the late stages of the league, he can't even make the squad, and he doesn't know if he will be able to return to the top one day.

Although he is actually very confident in his own strength and condition, the long-term poor performance has somewhat made him less confident.

It's different now.

In the sixth round of the league, he has already scored four goals, which is very high in any case, even more than all the goals scored by some small teams, and he has also become the team's top scorer and entered the top three scorers in the Premier League.

Anelka is very concerned about scoring goals and is very touched when he sees Darren Bent unselfishly pass the ball to himself.

Darren Bent was also delighted.

It's not that he himself is selfless, the main thing is that his positioning for himself is much lower than Anelka, after all, he played for Ipswich last season, which was only a Championship team, and his value is actually not high, and Anelka can't be compared at all, the two are too different in fame, and there is a certain gap in strength, and when it comes to the game, Darren Bent naturally feels that he should pass more to Anelka.

Actually, he still feels very awkward because he wants to score more.

But think about the fact that he has just arrived at Manchester City, and in the previous games, he has also scored two goals, and with this assist, he has already scored two goals and two assists, which is definitely better than most players.

It's all like this, what else to force it for?

All in all, he's had a fantastic start at Manchester City, and there's no need to fight for one or two goals against his more famous team-mates

After Manchester City finished their celebrations, the game soon resumed.

There wasn't much time left in the first half, City were still on the offensive and they were hoping to score another in the first half so that it would be easier in the second half.

However, Bolton's style is very tough, which is more obvious in defense, their defense is tough, which gives Manchester City's attack a bit of a headache, but at the same time Bolton did not find any chances, in the second half of the first half, they have been suppressed, completely passive.

Soon the first half was over and time went into halftime.

In the dressing room, Wan Sheng spoke about the first half, praising Copelle Ferreira's performance and Darren Bent's pass, before talking about the second half to draw attention to Bolton's comeback.

"They're not willing to lose! They're going to have to lose their breath and hurry up and score! ”

Wan Sheng gave tactical guidance and analyzed, "What we have to do is to control the rhythm and wait patiently for opportunities. Don't rush to attack, as I always say in training, we have to get the opponent into our rhythm and then the victory will definitely be ours! ”

It's like what Wansheng analyzed. In the second half, Bolton really couldn't resist the attack.

They don't have a choice.

When they are behind, they can only tie the score by attacking, and only by equalizing the score can they have any hope of scoring points, so they have to attack.

However, this mentality of rushing to attack happened to fall into Wansheng's 'calculation'. Manchester City set up a position, played according to tactics without hurry, and mainly used the overall movement and mutual passing and receiving to control the tempo of the game.

Soon, many people found that the competition seemed to enter a specific melody.

Whenever Manchester City gets the ball, they start to pass constantly, and the passing speed is not fast again and again, and there is no regularity, a moment forward, a moment behind, a moment left, a moment right, this kind of completely irregular passing, which makes people feel that the rhythm is the same. It's like the speed of each pass is the same, the interval between the passes is the same, of course, it's absolutely impossible, but a lot of people just feel that way.

Of course, it was the Bolton players who felt it the most.

They are very depressed!

Originally, they wanted to seize the attack, but they saw Manchester City get the ball, and they were not in a hurry to attack forward, but passed back and forth, left and right, and their defense was not full of pressure. Looking at the passing between the opposing defenders, the passing between the midfielders and the defenders, etc., they can only look at these things, and they have no ability to come forward and scramble, and as a result, they can only watch the opponent keep passing and passing. And the passing seems to have a rhythm, so that they can run to the same rhythm.

Their rhythm is completely driven!

There are also players who realise that something is wrong, they are well-informed, they know that Manchester City are trying to use the constant passing to drive the tempo, which is a style of play similar to Juventus' 'Old Lady', but they don't have much to do.

At the same time. The game was still very exciting, because Manchester City's passing cooperation was already very spectacle.

Manchester City's possession of the ball is not just the kind of meaningless passing, their passing is all according to the tactical routine, often there are passes that threaten the opposition defence directly, whenever such passes appear, the situation suddenly becomes tense, but when it is not a chance, the football will soon be passed out.

As a result, as long as football is at the feet of Manchester City, Bolton will have to go through the process of relaxing to nervous and nervous to relaxed again and again.

It makes them deeply tired!

A lot of players know they're being driven by Manchester City, but they can't do anything about it because they don't have the experience to play like that and they don't know how to deal with it.

And then they were more passive.

With 71 minutes played, Bolton were unable to hold the defence, with City making use of two quick passes to devoke the Bolton defence, before Sinclair and Morris combined and substitute Reina picked up the ball in front of the box.

Reyna got the ball straight into the box and Ziegler, who cut in from behind, got the chance to face the goalkeeper.

Wan Sheng covered his face at that moment!

The attack proved the success of the team's tactics, but who could have imagined how a full-back could perform against the goalkeeper single-handedly? In particular, Bolton goalkeeper Jaskolainen was still quite good, and while Wan Sheng was still praying, he had already heard the cheers in his ears, and this voice also told him the result.

He lowered his palms and looked at the Bolton goal.

Seeing that the football was already lying in the goal, and Anelka was already rushing wildly towards the sidelines, this scene was enough to tell everyone what happened.

In the last minute, Ziegler opted to pass the ball to Anelka, who slotted home the same goal as before.

Two empty goals, two goals!

But the goal definitely went to Leto Ziegler, and many commentators shouted the same thing, "2:0!" Anelka! But the goal was scored thanks to Manchester City's full-back, Belgian youngster Leto Ziegler, who cut in at the right time and calmly played the ball to the other side in front of the goalkeeper! ”

'Anelka was quite lucky, the Frenchman had already pushed two empty goals and completed two goals'

The commentators were deeply surprised by Anelka's good fortune - how easy was it to score two goals, both of which were empty goals? Perhaps in the eyes of professionals, Anelka's running is the most important, but it does feel easier to push an empty goal than a direct shot, so Anelka's two goals give people the feeling that it is too easy.

Even some of his teammates on the pitch were excited, they ran over and everyone patted Anelka on the shoulder, not in celebration, but as if to vent.

Anelka was grinning.

It wasn't just joy, a lot of it was pain.

Of course, the most important thing is that this goal also made the game less suspenseful, although it was only two goals, but Bolton's almost no shot on goal throughout the game also made them lose confidence, especially since this is still an away game, and the game can be said to have won and lost so far.

A lot of people have come to this conclusion.

The same was true for the rest of the game, and despite Bolton's tough stance, the City players didn't feel much of the pressure until the referee blew the full-time whistle and Bolton didn't have a couple of shots on target.

In the end, Manchester City won 2-0 against Bolton Wanderers to win the sixth round of the league. (To be continued.) )
