1406 Manchester City People’s Thoughts and Plans
Manchester, City Club’s head coach’s office.
Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini sat in his seat, quietly looking at the Leeds United squad list in his hand, and was lost in thought.
Yes, Manchester City coach Mark Hughes has been fired.
Former Inter Milan coach Alessandro Mancini accepted Manchester City. No wonder Manchester City performed so well in the second half. Many have claimed that if Mancini had accepted the team from the beginning of the season, City would definitely have done more than that, perhaps going to the top four.
Mancini frowned and whispered, “Strong, Leeds is strong!”
Mancini, who was sitting opposite Yaya Touré, smiled bitterly. Leeds United were certainly very strong. Otherwise, could they be ranked at the top of the Premier League?
Yaya Touré had once stayed with Leeds United, so he was naturally more aware of their prowess. This was a super strong team, a top rich family.
Looking at Leeds United’s results this season, Yaya Touré was filled with admiration.
However, Yaya Touré did not regret it at all!
In Leeds United, Yaya Touré only rotated the main force, and his position was not fixed. One waist and one waist, it was really like a screw, where there was no need to go.
This was not what Yaya Touré wanted, so he chose to leave.
After arriving at Manchester City Club, his salary has increased many times. At the same time, he has become the core of Manchester City’s midfield. He has enjoyed a very comfortable life at Manchester City Club.
Therefore, Yaya Touré did not regret leaving Leeds United. Staying at Leeds United is good, but joining Manchester City is great.
Sitting beside Yaya Touré were the City assistant coaches. At this moment, their gazes were all fixed on Mancini in front of them to see what was the matter with this big shot gathering them here today?
Mancini suddenly said: “Leeds United are really strong!”
Just now, there were still many people who did not understand Mancini’s muttering. Everyone was clear about it now.
Yes, Leeds United are certainly strong. If they are not strong, will they be the top team in the Premier League?
Mancini continued: “However, we cannot lose this game. We cannot lose this game!”
The Manchester City team nodded their heads one after another. It was indeed like this.
Manchester City can’t afford to lose now. If they lose, they won’t qualify for next season’s UEFA European Championship.
Manchester City have to fight Leeds United for their future in this game.
Mancini immediately asked the crowd: “What do you think about this game? How do you think we should restrict Leeds United?”
The Manchester City coaches all lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking about.
Mancini understood. He looked up at Yaya Touré and asked, “Toure, you played for Leeds United. What do you think of this game?”
Yaya Touré was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect that he would be suddenly called out. However, he quickly regained his composure and immediately said: “Leeds United are a very, very demanding club, especially for the defence. If they were to put up an iron barrel formation against us, I think it would be very difficult for me to win!”
Mancini thought for a moment and nodded slightly, signaling for Yaya Touré to continue.
Yaya Touré immediately said: “But the good thing is that Leeds United are going to attack like crazy in this game. They need more goals. So this game is going to be the main attack, not the main defensive one. This is an opportunity for Manchester City.”
Yes, now that Leeds United and Chelsea have the same points, it’s a game of goalscoring. In the hottest round of the game, Leeds United clearly not only wanted to ensure victory, but also wanted to get more goals. Against Manchester City, the Leeds United will definitely attack like crazy.
Mancini nodded slightly. He had already thought of this, but Yaya Touré was right.
If that’s the case with Leeds United, they have a good chance of winning.
Because Mancini’s most familiar tactic was defensive counterattack. He was confident that he could win against Leeds United and get three points with his defensive counterattack.
As long as Manchester City get three points, they have a chance to surpass Tottenham Hotspur and qualify for UEFA’s European league next season.
Therefore, Mancini has some confidence in this match.
Mancini suddenly asked, “Yaya, what do you think Leeds United’s offensive tactics will be like? Tell me more!”
At this moment, Yaya Touré was truly shocked. What the hell? Since when did he become an assistant coach at Manchester City? Mancini actually came to ask for his opinion.
Yaya Touré was confused, but his mouth was not.
Yaya Touré said: “Leeds United’s offense is obviously a combination of wings and midfielders, especially the two wings. Chris and Gareth are really too strong. They are really flying on both wings. What’s even more terrifying is that there is a Mesut in midfield who is in control. This system seems simple, but it’s actually very powerful!”
Yaya Touré said it very simply, but Mancini could feel the strength of Leeds United.
Not to mention Cristiano Ronaldo, this fellow is the winner of two consecutive European and World Players of the Year.
The remaining Gareth Bale was also difficult to deal with. In the semi-final of the Champions League not long ago, he had completely shattered Inter Milan’s number one defender in the world, Maicon. This showed that Gareth Bale’s strength had reached a very shocking level.
If the two of them were to fly in this match, Manchester City would be very troublesome.
Also, there is one thing that Yaya Touré is absolutely right about, and that is Mesut Özil.
Although Mesut Özil was the most inconspicuous of the three, this fellow was the most important because he was the brain of Leeds United when they attacked, and he was the strongest backer of Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Therefore, this triangular offensive combination was extremely frightening!
Along with the strikers ahead, whether it was Lewandowski, Alexander Pato, Edison Cavani, Jamie Vardy, or the others, as long as they joined in, the Leeds United offensive system would be more solid and more powerful.
Mancini’s eyebrows narrowed. The Leeds United players were too intelligent.
To be honest, Mancini felt like drooling when he looked at the Leeds United squad. No matter how much money he had, he couldn’t buy it. He really envied Zhong Cheng. This guy’s eyesight is really terrifying.
Mancini actually wanted to dig Zhong Cheng’s head open to see what was inside this guy’s skull? Could it be that the structure of his brain was different from that of an ordinary person? Otherwise, how could he see people so accurately?
Of course, now was not the time to think about these issues. Now was the time to think about how to deal with Leeds United.
Mancini pondered for a while and then said, “You mean Leeds United’s top priority is Mesut Özil?”
Yaya Touré nodded slightly and said, “Yes!” Leeds United are too dependent on Mesut Özil! In the past, there was an organization on the back to help Modric, but Leeds United have walked a lot this season, leaving only Sammy Hedilla and Stephen M’Bia at the back. All the organization tasks have fallen on Mesut Özil. “If we get stuck in Mesut Özil, Leeds United’s offensive threat will definitely be reduced by half!”
Mancini’s eyes lit up, and his heart was filled with joy.
Yaya Touré is right. The organization of the Leeds United midfield is too dependent on Mesut Özil. If we keep an eye on him, the Leeds United offense will be paralyzed by at least half. It’s hard for Manchester City not to win this match!
Sure enough, it was Yaya Touré who understood Leeds United better.
The other Manchester City coaches also thought that Yaya Touré was right. Manchester City should have done this in this match and directly stuck Mesut Özil to death.
“Mm-hmm, we have a way to deal with Leeds United now,” Mancini said immediately. “But don’t think it’s all good. Leeds United’s strength is not just about that. It’s about Madman Loria’s ability to adjust on the spot!”
The City coaches and Yaya Touré were both shocked.
Mancini was not someone who had lost his reputation. He had a thorough understanding of Leeds United. Leeds United had gathered a lot of information about Manchester City, so naturally, Manchester City had also gathered a lot of information about Leeds United.
Mancini was also a relatively well-known coach in Europe, so he was naturally outstanding when it came to this.
Mancini continued: “So this game is still a tough one for Manchester City. Leeds United and Madman Loria are not that easy to deal with. I believe they thought we would do this to him and I know he must have Plan B in his heart! We must not let down our guard in this game!”
Manchester City people nodded their heads in succession. Mr. Mancini was really thinking too thoroughly.
Mancini immediately said: “In the beginning of the game is a period of time, I think we have a lot of opportunities.” I was hoping our team could break through to Leeds United in the first half of the game. Get ahead before Madman Loria can react so we have a chance to win this game. “If Madman Loria reacts, it will be a very difficult game for us!”
Mancini has to admit that Manchester City are still far from Leeds United in terms of strength. Therefore, the most important thing for Manchester City in this match was the first 20 minutes. If they could score a goal in these 20 minutes, then the chances of winning this match would be much higher.
That’s what Mancini is emphasizing right now. I hope that Manchester City’s players will be in their best form in the first 20 minutes and attack Leeds United crazily in order to win for Manchester City. Manchester City needs to win.
The Manchester City people were very serious. They all nodded their heads and knew what they should do!
