The strongest blade in football

Chapter 163 Shevchenko (4500 words chapter)
In the UK, when it comes to Wuchao, the first reaction of countless people is basically Shevchenko and Kiefer Dynamo.

The Latin name for the word dynamo is dynamo.The word comes from Greek and means "energy, strength".

As the No. [-] giant in a big country, Kiefer Dynamo itself has experienced brilliance, and since the establishment of Uzbekistan, champions have rarely been left behind, and most of them have been won by them.

They are also a factory of stars, and have trained three European Golden Globe winners, Blokhin, Belanov and Shevchenko, for the world.

Of course, in the last ten years, Shakhtar Donetsk has sprung up suddenly, grabbed many trophies from Kiefer Dynamo, and permanently retained the last UEFA Cup championship trophy in 2009.

In Wuchao, it has already competed with Kiefer Dynamo.

Especially this year, Shakhtar Donetsk has made great strides all the way in the Champions League. Just a day ago, they defeated Rome 3-0 and have entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League in a historic way!
This makes Kiefer Dynamo very uncomfortable!

What Kiefer Dynamo can do right now is to focus on the Europa League and let the team go as far as possible.

In the one-sixteenth match of the Europa League, Kiefer Dynamo was fully fired and eliminated Besitex 8-1 in two rounds.

Moreover, not long ago, they also defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 in a head-to-head dialogue in the league.

Manchester City players understand that this opponent is far stronger than Aris.

Mancini was forced by the pressure brought by the third-line battle, and still chose to rotate when he played Kiefer Dynamo in the away game.

Manchester United's ability to score points in the second half of the league has always been terrifying, and Chelsea and Arsenal are not far behind. Manchester City, as the team participating in the championship for the first time, is under a lot of pressure.

However, the FA Cup and the Europa League are played in encounters, and Manchester City is more hopeful.

In this game, Carlos Tevez, Milner, Balotelli and others were all on the bench, and the forward partners were Wang Nuo and Dzeko.

Things have not gone well for Manchester City recently, not to mention that the league points difference has been widened by Manchester United, and the team's defense gate is still facing a suspension.

A few days ago, Manchester City's official website and the FA's official website collectively confirmed that Manchester City's defensive core Kolo Toure was banned from participating in all football matches because of a positive doping test.

Kolo Toure acted very wronged, saying that he had gained a little weight recently, and accidentally took his wife's diet pills, and didn't know what ingredients were in it.

But that's not enough to defend him, and he could be suspended for a year.

This incident made Mancini very angry, and held a player forum to rectify team discipline.

He developed a stricter team management system, including numerous requirements for away games.

Mancini also set up a locker room player coffer, following the rules of his time at Sampdoria.

Every time the players violate the rules and regulations set by him, they need to donate a certain amount to the treasury, ranging from one or two hundred pounds to thousands of pounds.

Anyone who violates the regulations must hand in the money. After the season is over, all the team members will use a lottery to draw all the money in it.

Before the Europa League away game, the player's treasury was officially established, and everyone went to Kiefer to be more honest.

Kiefer, the capital of Ukraine, is more than 2000 kilometers away from Manchester.

Manchester City's Europa League this year is very tossing, first Romania, then Greece, and now Ukraine, traveling long distances.

Wang Nuo really likes playing games in Eastern Europe. Even if he stays in the hotel most of the time, he can feel the different cultural atmosphere.

Kiefer is not only the capital city, but for the entire Eastern Slavs, this ancient city with a history of 1500 years has profound significance.

In addition to history, the football foundation here is not bad. It has provided Uklan with a lot of talents. The U-series youth team has always performed well in the European Youth Championship and the World Youth Championship.

After warming up, Wang Nuo returned to the locker room.

Wearing blue tights, blue-black jersey pants, and blue socks with stripes, he checked the shoelaces carefully, and then sat down on a chair not far from Mancini.

Mancini decided to get everyone together before the game.

He doesn't usually do pre-match calls, and City's players rarely yell to cheer each other on, but this time, the boss decided to say something before the game kicked off.

Wang Nuo looked at the boss, thinking that he must want to win the game more than others.

From the afternoon until now, Mancini has been whispering to the players, "Whether in the locker room or on the court, don't relax!"

He told the team that winning the Europa League is also a great honor.

"There is nothing like competing for honor! Honor is our value."

"You don't understand what real hard work is like."

"Your grandparents used to run around every day to make a living, and you just need to pay a high salary, work hard for 90 minutes, and win a game."

"Therefore, we must do our best. Whoever dares to slack off, I will replace him!"

Mancini also told everyone about the poverty situation in Ukraine, telling them that the elders and fans of Kiefer Dynamo players had to work in factories in order to make a living.

"You are so lucky, don't take everything for granted! Your weekly salary is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary family!"

Wang Nuo thinks what the boss said is right, players with high income should try their best.

Wang Nuo envisioned everything about this game, the locker room, the crowd, the path to the lawn, his first touch.

The game is about to start, and Mancini is the first to leave the locker room.

Wang Nuo once again recalled his responsibilities in today's tactics, then put on the leg guards, went to the bathroom, and walked into the player tunnel.

The Lobanovsky Stadium is a small stadium with rather simple facilities. In the past, the stadium’s capacity was only a quarter of that of Manchester’s City Stadium. After expanding the seats, it was only about the same as Dufrasen’s.

But Wang Nuo still felt the purest and hottest game atmosphere here.

When they stood in the middle of the court with their little caddies, the singing of the fans on the sidelines was no less than that of a stadium with 5 or [-] people.

"Ole eo, Belo-siniy-samyy sil'nyy"

"Ole eo, Kiyev, Kiyev, tol'ko Kiyev"

Wang Nuo couldn't understand a word, but felt that the scene was very lively. After a while, there was a sudden explosion in the stadium. It turned out that dozens of fans at the top of the stands behind the goal set off some kind of giant firecrackers there.

Sounds like a sniper rifle, don't know how they brought it in.

After the routine song was played, the players from both sides began to shake hands, and Wang Nuo's heart beat faster.

Not for anything else, just because in the opposite team, there was a player he especially liked and respected when he was a child-the nuclear warhead Shevchenko!

He once used the performance of the Champions League Golden Boot to bring Kiefer Dynamo to the height of the Champions League semi-finals.

After arriving in Milan, he has maintained super giant strength.

In Wang Nuo's heart, when he was a child, Ronaldo was the only one, followed by Shevchenko, Henry and others.

So, when he shook hands with Shevchenko, Wang Nuo let the strong palm stay in his palm for two more seconds, and greeted him with kindness.

Shevchenko responded to him with a polite smile, his smile was icy cold and his aura was very strong.

Afterwards, the players of the two teams ran back to their respective halfs to do the final warm-up exercise.

The temperature is very low, and the air inhaled into the lungs is very cold, which makes people feel extra awake.

After the start of the game, Wang Nuo played 1% of his energy from the first minute.

He was very brave and kept asking for the ball, even when he was followed by a defender, sometimes Roman, sometimes the Nigerian Yusuf.

He has learned the lessons of the previous two games, and he does not blindly act recklessly, but uses his foot skills to attract the defense, and then transfers the ball to a more threatening position.

Before this game, Zabaleta once joked to Wang Nuo, "I have rimmed you hundreds of times, but you rarely pass the ball to me!"

Of course it is not as exaggerated as he said, but the fact is that Zabaleta is indeed a good person, running up and down again and again, bringing out the opponent's defender and creating opportunities for Wang Nuo.

In this game, Wang Nuo reciprocated very seriously.

His choice of passing route, the balance between dribbling and passing, suddenly became effective and coordinated.

On the one hand, it stems from Mancini's warning, and on the other hand, Kiefer Dynamo cannot force Wang Nuo to have no time to think like most teams in the Premier League.

Wang Nuo, who can play football calmly, has shown terrifying power.

His support, dribbling, off-ball involvement, active fighting, and small-scale cooperation with his teammates all pose a substantial threat to Kiefer Dynamo's defense.

Dzeko, who was at the top, got a lot of chances. He hit the goal with three consecutive goals in the first 10 minutes.

But did Kiefer Dynamo just get caught without a fight?Obviously not.

Their research on Manchester City is very good, they put Shevchenko in front to involve Manchester City, and whenever Yaya Toure has the ball, the young Yarmolenko goes up to stare at him.

Kiefer Dynamo attaches great importance to the control of the midfield and the restrictions on Manchester City's forward and backward series, and a bold premise formation at home.

They tried their best to let the Manchester City central defender get the ball, or force Lescott to play a high ball, so that the role of Manchester City's Merlin magician Silva was minimized.

Milevsky pulled to the side, and Gusev and Roman had a very complicated set of running positions, which were very coordinated with each other. They not only prevented the connection between Silva and Wang Nuo, but also waited for an opportunity to pass the threatening ball to Shev at any time. Chenko.

The Manchester City players were shocked. They could feel that Kiefer Dynamo had put in a lot of energy to prepare for this game, and they also scored the first goal because of this.

In the 33rd minute of the first half, Kiefer Dynamo threw a sideline ball from the left. Yarmolenko adjusted his left foot and made a pass. Shevchenko rushed into the net with his toe before Joe Hart attacked. The score was rewritten to 1-0!

Being able to lead the Premier League at home, the home fans were excited, and the hustle and bustle created almost without interruption for 10 minutes.

Wang Nuo stared at Shevchenko, who was hugging and celebrating with his teammates, for more than ten seconds.

Sheva is 34 years old, and his speed and breakthrough are not as sharp as before, but he has to admit that his sense of position and shooting are still abnormal.

Wang Nuo sighed silently in his heart, and at the same time, his fighting spirit became stronger and stronger.

He doesn't want to be the backdrop!
Against Kiefer Dynamo, he has more chances to score goals than in the Premier League, and he wants to score too!

In the time after Kiefer Dynamo took the lead, the tactical execution was significantly lower than at the beginning, and Wang Nuo could think of the reason——

The first half is coming to an end, and some people may want to secure the victory, and their position selection and playing style will be more conservative than before.

And some people still want to make persistent efforts.

City's big-name players were very experienced and quickly noticed that Kiefer Dynamo was a bit distracted, and they immediately launched a wave of fast-paced pressing before half-time.

Yaya Toure, who was frustrated for more than 40 minutes, snatched the ball from Gusev's feet, and Manchester City successfully passed the ball into the penalty area with a five-foot pass.

The whole thing was fast and fluid, and Silva's final pass was great, as he curled his left foot around Popov's head.

Dzeko took the ball in the penalty area, did not stop, and immediately half-turned and shot.

This kick is very powerful, but unfortunately the angle is not good, it hits defender Danilo's knee and pops out of the penalty area.

Barry, who was standing outside the penalty area, saw the ball coming towards him. He short-circuited his brain for a while, but subconsciously hoisted the ball towards the penalty area.

To be honest, it didn't look like the ball was aimed at anyone at all.

But at this moment, Wang Nuo sprang up like a rocket into the sky, and plunged into the penalty area.

He jumped as high as Michael Jordan, to the point where the football was at eyebrow level when he headed the ball.

Wang Nuo didn't know that he could hit the football so smoothly. The header training for more than half a year has improved his header skills to a higher level.

He closed his eyes when he headed the ball and used a lot of forward force to make the ball go faster.

As for where the football will fly, it depends on luck.

Obviously, Wang Nuo had good luck this time!

When he landed firmly on the ground, the football had already broken into the net along the post!

At the end of the first half, he rarely used an extremely beautiful header to help the team equalize the score!

There is no doubt that this goal greatly boosted the morale of the team and helped Manchester City win a valuable away goal!

The first half ended 1:1 and the game was still evenly matched.

Wang Nuo walked back to the player tunnel, ready to review the performance of the first half-the chances created, the interceptions and fights in the frontcourt, and guess what the leader might say in a minute.

Wang Nuo turned into the corridor leading to the dressing room. There were so many people that Wang Nuo couldn't pass through.

The security personnel came to maintain order. Wang Nuo vaguely saw some pushing and shoving not far away, but he couldn't see which players it was.

Coaches began pulling their players into the locker room to calm them down.

At this moment, Wang Nuo found Shevchenko standing beside him.

The great player waited quietly like Wang Nuo, with his hands on his hips, without the slightest impatient expression, just like a quiet and good student.

He also glanced at Wang Nuo, but did not say hello.

Ten seconds later, the two scorers in the first half returned to their locker rooms without saying a word.

When Wang Nuo walked into the locker room, Mancini had already calmed down the atmosphere. Wang Nuo glanced at everyone in the locker room, trying to figure out what happened just now, but everyone looked at the head coach.

Regarding the confusion just now, Wang Nuo was still at a loss.

"The game is not over!" Mancini said. "Let's continue to play the Premier League rhythm as we did in the last few minutes, pressing their players and pressing them back to their own half!"

"Keep up the pace and we'll keep scoring goals!"

Mancini's speech today was very brief, leaving more time for everyone to rest.

It was difficult for Wang Nuo to guess Mancini's mood and the content of his speech in the locker room. The half-time score did not predict whether he would lose his temper.

Sometimes when it was 2-0 at half-time, he would yell and even fly into a rage, but in fact he just wanted to suppress the pride that the players might have.

Sometimes when the halftime is 1-0, the boss will also be unhappy. He doesn't want the opponent to steal points by attacking in the second half.

On the contrary, if it is a draw or a fall, he will occasionally be calm, and he will only tell the Manchester City players to stick to the game, because he knows that everyone will soon equalize the score.

After the conversation, everyone returned to their seats, and the physical trainer began to distribute energy-enhancing food and drinks.

Generally speaking, teammates who feel tired will eat some energy bars and Jiafa biscuits to replenish energy, while Wang Nuo usually only drinks water and a small amount of sports drinks.

Assistant coach Brian Kidd came over and started talking one-on-one with a few players.

Brian Kidd was an observer, tasked with telling the players the details he noticed during the game and how Kiefer Dynamo was positioned.

After he finished talking with David Silva and Yaya Toure, he sat down beside Wang Nuo again.

"You scored beautifully, but you can do better."

"When attacking No. 6 Popov and No. 2 Danilo, pay attention to the distance between you and Dzeko." He said, "Try to let Vukojevic and Gusev take care of the backcourt and dare not go forward. In this way, we can create more space for Silva and Yaya Toure to hold the ball."

Wang Nuo nodded in agreement, affirming the former Manchester United class of 92 mentor.

He raised his head and drank the sports drink in his hand, thinking again in his mind how to attack the opponent's defense, score, win!
Then quietly waiting for the arrival of the second half!
