Chapter 116 The Coach's Talent Begins to Show
Wang Po and Tuchel seemed to have swapped roles.
Standing in the command area was the player Wang Po.
Sitting on the bench was the coach Tuchel.
Under the cage tactics, Yaya Toure's ability was completely restricted. When the ball could not pass through Yaya Toure's feet for a while, Manchester City's frontcourt attack became unsmooth.
Although Nasri and Fernandinho also had strong offensive organization capabilities, the players' running positions and passing and cutting were all centered around Yaya Toure, so that Nasri and Fernandinho clearly found the gaps in the defense line, but because their teammates did not understand, they lost the opportunity to attack and the ball.
The frequent loss of ball possession accelerated the offensive and defensive play on the field, and the rounds of attack began to increase.
This is exactly the rhythm of attack and defense that the lagging Dortmund team is happy to enter. Without Wang Po, there is no need for complicated tactics. Passing and cutting, long passes from the backcourt, and simply hitting the ball to the speed counterattack point in the frontcourt. Whether there will be results next depends on Ousmane Dembele and Aubameyang's personal ability to solve the problem.
The two people's successive attacks have already shown initial results. The Manchester City defense, which was not stable to begin with, looked exhausted under the successive attacks of the two people.
Here it comes again.
With absolute space, Aubameyang showed his dominance in speed.
Zabaleta tried his best but couldn't catch up with Aubameyang at full speed.
Singled out the goalkeeper and succeeded.
Aubameyang pushed the ball and scored.
1 to 2.
Dortmund scored a valuable away goal at the Etihad Stadium. This goal allowed them to equalize the total score and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.
Wang Po on the sidelines was even more excited than Aubameyang after the goal. He didn't care about his injured ankle and ran more than 20 meters to join the players in celebrating.
A tactical victory, this is a tactical victory.
This is a satisfaction that Wang Po has never had before, a feeling of being in control of the overall situation.
"Keep going, keep going."
Wang Po frantically called on the players to keep going on the sidelines. The increasingly dim hope of promotion was revived with the birth of this goal.
That breath was lifted.
On the contrary, Manchester City's morale was affected after a goal was scored.
Not only that, under Wang Po's cage tactics, Yaya Toure was greatly restricted, resulting in poor offensive operation. Defense was not the style of Manchester City under Pellegrini.
Unable to attack or defend, it became a very embarrassing place for Manchester City.
Here it comes.
Dortmund once again ushered in a good scoring opportunity. Ousmane Dembele continued to sway left and right on the wing, shook off Zabaleta's defense, dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle penalty area, and raised his leg to shoot.
Goal.
Robben-style goal.
This way of scoring ignited all the fans who supported Dortmund.
Manchester City's luxurious defense and goalkeeper could only sigh at the ball, and the Etihad Stadium fell into silence.
From heaven to hell, Manchester City once had one foot in the semi-finals, but now they are almost buried in the quarter-finals.
The distance to the semi-finals is getting farther and farther.
Dortmund retreated to the penalty area, and the advantage in numbers made the Hornets' defense tight and airtight.
After Yaya Toure lost control of the ball, Manchester City's offense was greatly reduced and could not pose a substantial threat to Dortmund's defense.
"Beep"
With Nasri's long shot missing, the referee did not give Manchester City, who played at home, any chance and blew the whistle to end the game.
Dortmund advanced to the semi-finals.
The Dortmund teammates who were celebrating crazily rushed to the sidelines and lifted Wang Po high.
The turning point of this game was precisely because of Wang Po's return, who gave them great spiritual support on the sidelines, and the change of tactics was even more decisive.
Chilean engineer Pellegrini was completely defeated at the tactical level in the second half.
What Pellegrini didn't know was that the one who fought him in the second half was the "rookie" coach Wang Po!
The entire Dortmund team celebrated crazily at the Etihad Stadium, just like winning the championship.
At this moment, outside the Wiesbaden Stadium in Germany, a large number of Dortmund fans who came to the streets to celebrate gathered. They cheered, roared, and waved the Dortmund team flag.
Wang Po's cowhide has been screened on social media and has appeared on the headlines of major search engines.
Unfortunately, Wang Po did not appear in this game and could not attend the press conference after the game.
"Mr. Tuchel, what is the key to the reversal of Manchester City in this game?"
At the beginning of the press conference, the reporter could not wait to ask this question.
"First of all, I want to say that the injury of the core player Wang Po in this game has caused great trouble to my deployment. If he was there, I think the battle would have ended in the first half."
At the beginning of the game, Tuchel showed his victorious attitude.
"It is my honor as a coach to have such a player in the team, whether he plays or not. He played a great role in the reversal of this game."
"It is true that Wang Po's return to the field is quite heroic and can obviously bring spiritual strength to the team, but is the description of playing a great role a bit exaggerated?"
A reporter stood up and questioned.
Tuchel raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The proposal for the offensive and defensive tactics in the second half came from Wang Po's suggestions. He helped me and the team a lot in this game. He is a genius, a genius born for football."
The whole audience was shocked when he said this.
For a time, Wang Po's name swept the world football again.
The outstanding football IQ of a genius player.
Professional player or genius coach.
Dortmund made a fortune.
What? The coach on the sidelines is warming up?
……
A series of eye-catching headlines pushed Wang Po's popularity to the highest level.
Seizing the opportunity, Annie reviewed the game with Wang Po. After obtaining the consent of Tuchel and the club, Wang Po explained the tactical arrangements of this game in detail.
The truth came out in a moment.
It turned out that Tuchel did not exaggerate Wang Po's role at the press conference. It can be said that Wang Po played a decisive role in the reversal.
The article was published, which attracted the envy of fans of various teams. Which team does not want to have such a talented player?
I'm afraid that the next time the German transfer website updates its value, Wang Po will be worth more than 100 million.
Mr. 100 million, this is a leap in level, which means that Wang Po can compete with the top superstars.
Looking at the value list, the players who are worth more than 100 million can be counted on one hand. What is their status? What is their strength?
That is all history, hall of fame.
Note that Wang Po is only 19 years old this year, with unlimited potential and a promising future.
At the same time, with this explosive news, New Football has a tendency to become the leader of German media.
