Yang Huan said that Mancini's tactics were too mechanical and lacked the ability to adapt, and he was absolutely right.
After Southampton opened the scoring, the Saints followed Bielsa's instructions and arrangements and continued to launch a fierce attack on Manchester City.
The focus is still on the two side roads.
Manchester City's tactics and player positions seem to be very flexible, but in fact it is very easy to expose the wingers.
Therefore, it was easy for Gareth Bale and Neymar to get one-on-one opportunities on the wings as Saints took advantage.
For the Saints and Devil Wings, one-on-one often means defeating the opponent.
No, less than five minutes had passed since the last goal.
Modric passed a diagonal pass from the center behind Maicon.
Neymar received the ball and faced Zabaleta.
One-on-one, the Brazilian star made continuous fake moves and passed by.
After Zabaleta, a low pass into the middle.
Vidal stepped in and shot with his right foot from the center of the penalty area, once again breaking through Manchester City's goal, 2-0.
This goal once again made Mubarak slap his forehead hard, feeling very sad.
But Southampton did not seem to intend to stop there, but continued to bombard them indiscriminately.
On the left again, Neymar was one-on-one again.
After breaking through Zabaleta, he passed the ball high.
Ibrahimovic headed the goal, Joe Hart flew to save, the ball fell into the penalty area, Gareth Bale came at lightning speed, missed the ball successfully, pushed the shot into the empty goal, three to zero.
The game only lasted twenty-five minutes, and Southampton had already scored three goals.
This immediately made all Saints fans panic What is even more shocking is that in the first 25 minutes, and even in the 30th minute, Manchester City completed the first shot of the game, and it was a shot without any threat.
"Oh my God, the gap is not so big, isn't it?"
Mubarak looked like he was about to cry.
The match between the second and third place players in the league standings turned out to be a one-sided 3-0 draw within thirty minutes.
Isn't this the time for a big score?
But just when everyone was looking forward to Southampton's continued bombardment, Mancini made adjustments.
From the original three defenders, the formation changed back to four defenders.
Although it was still unstable and was still beaten by Southampton, at least the defensive weakness was not so obvious.
But Mancini seemed to feel that it was not enough.
He couldn't wait for the halftime break and directly replaced the miserable Zabaleta with Nasri.
The Argentinian full-back was almost outplayed by Neymar throughout the first half The newly replaced Nasri focused on strengthening the midfielder's ball-taking ability, and Stroman and Yaya Toure formed a double midfielder.
This allowed City to survive the final minutes of the first half.
In the second half, Manchester City's situation improved after midfield adjustments.
But Southampton firmly held the three goals in hand and began to play more patiently.
The three lines were kept more compact, and it seemed that they were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack while Manchester City was attacking.
This made Mancini feel even more depressed because they simply didn't have the courage to attack.
The game can only continue to kill time like this.
Although Manic once tried to counterattack through substitutions, Southampton's defense was not bad, especially Matic in the defensive midfielder position, which made everyone feel reassured.
Seeing the intense competition between Manchester City and Southampton on the court, but still unable to open up the situation, and the score was still three to zero, Mubarak in the chairman's stand shook his head and sighed.
"If we lose this game, I'm afraid we are finished this season."
Although they are far behind Manchester United in points, Manchester City has been occupying second place in the Premier League standings since the beginning of the season.
But now, this 3-0 away defeat to Southampton not only allowed the Saints to complete a counterattack in the standings, but also completely destroyed the morale of Manchester City.
In just 25 minutes, they conceded three goals in a row.
I really don’t know whether it’s because Manchester City’s defense is too bad or Southampton’s attack is too strong.
Yang Huan was sitting next to Mubarak.
After hearing his sigh, he shook his head and smiled, "Do you know why?"
Mubarak looked at Yang Huan, as if to say, please give me advice.

"You have hoarded too many central players.
David Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Milner and others all tend to be central.
Your tactical width mainly relies on full-backs, such as Kolarov and Mai.
Kong, Crissy and Zabaleta.”
To a certain extent, Mancini put Kolarov and Maicon in the front position in this game, also out of the psychology of ensuring wing attack and creating tactical width.
"But you must understand that a full-back is always a full-back.
Maicon is getting older and is getting worse day by day.
He simply cannot control the entire wing by himself like he did in his peak years.
The same is true for Kolarov."
Yang Huan's words were very candid and hit the nail on the head.
"There is a serious lack of offensive players on the wings, but the center is very bloated.
David Silva and Nasri overlap seriously, plus Aguero, and Yaya Toure who loves to attack from behind, your entire Manchester City The middle lane is almost overcrowded and the resource allocation is seriously unreasonable.”
"There is also a defensive midfielder.
Yaya Toure is not willing to be a defensive midfielder at all.
Stroman is both offensive and defensive, but he has never been a top defensive midfielder.
This makes Manchester City's midfielder very weak in protecting the defense."
Thinking of this, Yang Huan wanted to say, you are missing Matic.
But then I thought about it, hell, Matic is a player that Bielsa values very much.
With him, Southampton will have a stable plan B, and the midfield rotation will be much easier.
If I talk too much and make Mubarak's heart sway, money is no problem.
If I spend 20 to 30 million pounds, Southampton will not suffer.
But these days, where can I find someone like Matic?
Robust, plug-and-play defensive midfielder Is it possible to bring Javi Martinez back to the midfield?
But look at the court, the Spaniard is in the defense and has a commanding style.
How can he be willing to let him return to the midfield?
So, after thinking about it, Yang Huan remained silent.
Mubarak was also silent.
Yang Huan's words were indeed very frank.
It could be said that they were heart-breaking.
He almost pointed at their noses and cursed, "You guys who are blind to the game only know how to pile up stars.
You don't understand at all."
Assemble a team properly.
In the presence of David Silva, bringing in Nasri is not just a matter of piling up stars.
"Master Huan, what you are saying is that we need strong wing breakers."
Yang Huan looked at this guy and felt something was wrong, but he still nodded and said, "That's the truth."
Unexpectedly, Mubarak started talking to himself.
"Both Nasri and David Silva are ball-controllers.
Therefore, what we at Manchester City need most is a powerful wing breakthrough player like Gareth Bale, especially after seeing his performance.
A game performance” "Ah" Yang Huan was stunned when he heard this.
Damn it, you want to poach me, right?
"Master Huan, sell Gareth Bale to us."
Yang Huan immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, let's stop talking about this matter."
"Why?"
Mubarak was depressed.
Gareth Bale is great.

He has adapted to the Premier League and proven his ability.
He has shined again this season and is absolutely awesome.
Originally, Mubarak thought Neymar was good, but Neymar is also the type who prefers to control the ball, so he finally felt that Gareth Bale was good and a local British player, worth introducing.
Little did he know that Master Huan's words would almost make him fall over.
"You can't afford it" Can't afford it Mubarak felt as if he had been insulted The wealthy Manchester City team cannot afford Gareth Bale "Okay, we don't need to talk about this matter anymore.
If you want to bring in players, our Southampton scouting system can help you provide some advice.
But if you want to bring in Gareth Bale, forget it.
We won't."
For sale” After Yang Huan said this, Mubarak felt better.
It's right to think about it.
Gareth Bale has only been in Southampton for one season and he is in the Saints youth training.
How could Yang Huan sell him so easily?
Besides, with Gareth Bale's current reputation and influence, even if he wants to transfer, I'm afraid Southampton will not easily let him transfer to a competitor in the Premier League.
Isn't this weakening himself and a powerful opponent?
How could Master Huan do such a thing that harms himself and benefits others?
"Master Huan, this is what you said.
If you decide to sell, you must remember to inform us."
"Okay, okay, I know" Yang Huan immediately started playing haha and pushing Tai Chi.
This match, which attracted worldwide attention, ended with Southampton defeating Manchester City 3-0 at home.
Southampton, playing at home, relied on the victory of this game to score three points and accumulated 53 league points.
They reversed Manchester City and ranked second in the Premier League standings.
Manchester United scored 63 points with 20 wins, three draws and three losses, ranking first in the Premier League.
With a ten-point lead gap, with twelve rounds left in the league, it is probably impossible for any team to challenge Manchester United's championship position.
This also caused the entire British media to start overwhelmingly promoting Manchester United's lead after this round.
It is an ironclad fact that the Red Devils will win the championship.
The difference lies in which round it is determined.
Just kidding, if you lead by ten points and end up losing the championship, it would be Ferguson or Manchester United.
On the contrary, it is the competition for the top four in the league.
After Manchester City lost this round of away games, they were narrowed by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
The three teams are only one point behind each other and may be defeated at any time and at any time.
As for Arsenal, they are still far away from Tottenham Hotspur, who is fifth in the league, and competing for the top four in the league may not be that easy.
It is worth mentioning that after the second-hand chairman Ashley's Newcastle fired Alan Pardew, instead of having a coaching change like a knife change, they fell step by step.
Unknowingly, they had already fallen to Sixteenth in the league.
Just one step away from the relegation zone This also made the British media feel sad.
In the first few rounds of the Premier League, Newcastle was so prosperous, but now it has been relegated.
It is really sad.
But Yang Huan has never had the habit of pitying his opponents, because he believes that pitiful people must be hateful.
The fact that Newcastle will experience such a big decline probably has something to do with their internal affairs.
Furthermore, after Yang Huan and Mubarak watched the 26th round of the Premier League, they immediately set off from Southampton to London, and then took a flight from Heathrow Airport to Miami, USA.
At the same time, the core executives of several wealthy European teams also gathered in Miami, attracting media attention from the United States and even the world.
Because the annual International Champions Cup group draw ceremony will be held here.
Moreover, many media have speculated that with so many football bigwigs gathering together, there might be some big news.
For example, negotiating player transfers and so on
