Chapter 166 Manchester City's defensive problems

The conceding of the ball in the second half can well illustrate some of Manchester City's problems and also explain Guardiola's desire for goalkeepers who meet his system.
In the 57th minute, West Ham's 22-year-old Democratic Congolese left-back Masuaku used several emergency stops that seemed to Zhuo Yang had a bad sense of rhythm and quickly got off the captain of Manchester City today, right back Sabale
The tower is in the process.
The line is very much under the small penalty area line, Otamendi takes a step back and heads off, but he heads off. West Ham forward Michael Antonio takes off from the left back, Frenchman Krish jumps behind, and heads off the far post to score.
2:1.
Zhuo Yang was quite impressed by Pablo Zabaleta. In the second round of the World Cup group stage two years ago, the Chinese team fought with Argentina. This guy started the game and played the right back. That one
The Chinese team lost 3:4 in the end, Zhuo Yang made a hat trick, and Boss Mei only scored one, but he won the final score in stoppage time.
Zabaleta has been playing for Manchester City in his ninth year. When Zhuo Yang went to Barcelona from Milan, he transferred from Espanyol to Manchester, and became the deputy of Manchester City team.
He was just thrown away from the gap in the penalty area by Masuaku, which was not a big mistake. It was mainly Manchester City's tactical mistake in air defense.
Nicholas Otamendi is also an Argentinian, 28 years old this year. He is well known as the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, when Otamendi played right-back under Maradona.
In the quarterfinals, the right side guarded by Otamendi became the expressway at 3 a.m., and Piglet and Podolski did whatever they wanted on his side. In the end, Argentina suffered a 0:4 defeat, and the Germans made three attempts.
The ball was launched from behind Otamendi's side.
Otamendi is a central defender, and his young cameo appearance as an opponent, letting him lose face that day so that the Atlantic Ocean drifted around. If it weren't for that game, he would have gone to Real Madrid or AC Milan in the summer of 2010.
Finally he went to Porto that summer, but since then, Otamendi has been away from the Argentina national team and has not brought him with him in the World Cup. However, in the 2014-15 season after the World Cup, Otamendi had Jean-Valencia in La Liga.
All the forwards were in so much pain that they were named the best central defender in La Liga that season, and then bought it by Manchester City for 45 million last year.
In terms of personal ability, frontal defense and air defense are Otamendi's strengths. It was not right to be a hit just now, but just like Cricci was driven by Antonio from behind, the goal was mainly lost by Manchester City's defense line against Guardio
Awkward understanding of tactical thoughts.
Guardiola's team has never been good at air defense, just like the front is not mainly aimed at heading. All the opponent's crosses with a landing point of less than 12 yards will be handed over to the goalkeeper to attack and defenders
We must protect the second landing point and prepare for the first time to shoot a counterattack.
Otamendi's position was barely enough, and Crish was at a loss. The fundamental reason was that goalkeeper Cavalero did not come out.
In this way, we can understand the importance of a goalkeeper who is suitable for his tactical system to Guardiola.
Otamendi is an excellent central defender, but not a mainstay. He needs to have equally outstanding partners around him, such as Valencia's German Mustafi, and Manchester City captain Kompani.
29-year-old Vincent Kompani was in May this year, in the 2015-16 Champions League semi-finals, Manchester City played against Real Madrid at home in the second leg. He injured his thigh muscles in the first 8 minutes without a confrontation and kept resting.
Until now, I haven't even finished the European Cup in summer.
After conceding the ball, Guardiola replaced Stones with Serbian defender Kolarov.
22-year-old John Stones transferred from Everton this summer by £47.5 million, the defender ranked second in Premier League history after Ponpun Louis. Guardiola replaced Stones not because
He did not perform well and just wanted to change Otamendi's partner.
31-year-old Alexander Kolarov is from Serie A Lazio. Zhuo Yang had played against him when he was in AC Milan. This is a pretty good full-back, and the full-back has been around for the rest of his life.
Guardiola came to Manchester City and after the first training class, he said to Kolarov: I think you can play as a center back.
So Kolarov became the central defender.
Although Zhuo Yang has not started to resume football training, his football vision does not need to be restored. After watching the game for more than ten minutes, he understood Guardiola's entanglement with the defense, especially the central defender.
Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov, and Stones are all excellent, but this excellence has a ceiling. Whether it is personal ability or pairing, Manchester City during Zhuo Yang's previous football journey
All four are ranked last.
Madibor Rock Delas Ponpun, AC Milan Nesta Martini, Barcelona Puyolpik, Real Madrid Water Lord Pepe, these combinations have their own shortcomings, but their overall strength still exceeds Manchester City's current defense line.
.
Manchester City is not short of money, but good central defenders cannot be bought with money. Guardiola is in trouble, so I can only hope that 33-year-old Bravo can make up for it as soon as possible.
It’s not that Guardiola and Zhuo Yang have high requirements. If you want to complete the leap from a strong team to a wealthy family, a classic central defender combination can greatly reduce the difficulty of the game. The central defender combinations that Zhuo Yang has cooperated with before can be loaded.
A classic in the history of football.
.
The score of 2:1 made the atmosphere of the city stadium a little nervous. Manchester City had won two consecutive victories in the new season. In order to continue the good momentum, Guardiola used 31-year-old Spanish veteran Jessus Navas in the 75th minute.
Replaced Nolito.
Navas was born in Seville and is a standard Western-style right winger. From his height to his technical characteristics, Zhuo Yang has an impression of him.
Just one minute after playing, Navas took the ball on the right and immediately looked for Aguero on the other side.
Akun had a heart-to-heart relationship, but he had no choice but to hold on to the Danish defender Winston Reed behind him, which made him unable to take a step and turn around.
Especially in the second half, Aguero played a little impatiently. Manchester City won two consecutive games in the first two rounds, and he scored three goals, temporarily ranked first with Manchester United's Ibrahimovic. Before the game, Aguero said he wanted to compete with Ibrahimovic.
The best scorer of this season is equivalent to issuing an invitation declaration.
In fact, Aguero is not a loyal person in scoring goals. He has only won the Premier League Golden Boot once for six years. He declared war so anxiously because he felt the pressure of Zhuo Yang joining.
A healthy Zhuo Yang can make anyone in any position become a substitute, except for goalkeepers.
Aguero's invitation to fight is also a subconscious behavior that indicates the team's status.
But I haven't scored a goal today and now the chance is good, but I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that such a third-rate defender has been hit by.
Aguero turned around and elbowed him hard on Reed's cheek. Winston Reed felt like he was thrown into the head, and he fell to the ground with a heart-wrenching blow.
The magical thing is that the referee Andre Marina did not see Aguero's move at all, he just signaled West Ham to play the backcourt out-of-bounds ball.
Aguero is not clean in playing football. He almost broke his toes when playing against Chelsea. But Aguero is lucky. He has never received a red card for six years in the Premier League, which is much cleaner than Zhuo Yang.
.
Guardiola probably couldn't stand it anymore, and then he replaced Aguero with Brazilian midfielder Fernando Regus. As he walked down, Akun was a little unhappy.
The highlight of today was Sterling. He received a straight pass from Silva in 903 minutes. After beating West Ham's Spanish goalkeeper Adrian at the bottom line, he poked the empty goal at zero angles and locked the score at 3:1.
Chapter completed!
