第一则赛后综述, 来自《每日邮报》 ------------------------------------ There's hope for Manchester City, so let's bang the drums for Roberto Mancini By Ian Ladyman Last updated at 12:57 PM on 19th October 2011 [size=1.2em]A member of the influential band The Stone Roses once said they would not play another gig until Manchester City had won the Champions League. [size=1.2em]The group revealed they have reformed and will play two concerts in Heaton Park next year before this encounter. [size=1.2em]The musician in question — the Roses’ bass guitarist Mani — happens to be a United fan. He’s had no reason to worry about City success in the 15 years since the band split and, with half of this group stage now behind us, he will not be too concerned that his team’s rivals are ready to conquer Europe. [size=1.2em]But City’s relative struggle in the Champions League should not unnecessarily trouble anyone. Lying in wait: Sargio Aguero (second right) pounces on Pablo Zabaleta's cross to give Manchester City a Champions League lifeline [size=1.2em]Roberto Mancini and his players may not win the competition this season but, given the progress made under their Italian coach, it seems inconceivable that they will not have a profound impact in Europe for years to come. [size=1.2em]City have not looked comfortable in the Champions League. Mancini has never thrived as a coach in Europe and it appears its intricacies still trouble him. [size=1.2em]Three weeks ago in Munich, he picked the wrong team and his side lost 2-0. Here he was forced into a tactical reshuffle after half an hour. [size=1.2em]However, regardless of what happens between now and early December in Group A, it should not be allowed to impact on Mancini’s long-term standing at the Etihad Stadium. Back-slapping: Mancini pats substitute Aguero after a job well done [size=1.2em]He, after all, is the man who took City into the Champions League. He is the man who will take City across town to Old Trafford as Barclays Premier League leaders on Sunday. [size=1.2em]As he previewed this tie in a tent at City’s training ground on Monday morning, Mancini declared he would like ‘four more years’ at City. [size=1.2em]And if the club’s Middle Eastern owners are as committed to long-term strategy and stability as they say they are, they should invite their manager out to Abu Dhabi as quickly as possible, put a pen in his hand and ask him to sign. [size=1.2em]Mancini is a likeable coach but he can also be demanding, sensitive and capricious. As he continues to move City forward he will, without doubt, receive offers from Italy. [size=1.2em]With all this in mind, it is surely time for City to ring-fence what they have. Mancini will have 18 months left on his contract at City this Christmas and, for a manager of his standing, it is not long enough. Anxious moments: Mancini (left), Brian Kidd and David Platt saw City go 1-0 down after four minutes [size=1.2em]The match was a rather nervy affair. An opening draw here against Napoli and the miserable night in Munich meant this match contained drama one would not normally associate with the third group game of the competition. [size=1.2em]It may yet pale into insignificance, however, compared to what faces City in Naples on November 22. With the Serie A team drawing with Bayern, it would appear that City’s game on the Mediterranean coast may represent a knockout tie. [size=1.2em]Mancini spoke about winning the group after Sergio Aguero’s 93rd-minute winner. [size=1.2em]Certainly that’s possible. The touch off the Argentine’s toe-end has changed the landscape of the competition for Mancini ’s team. [size=1.2em]However, progress to the next stage must be the priority and that, in itself, may yet be beyond them. [size=1.2em]If City do fail to progress from the first stage of the Champions League this season, the disappointment will be enormous. It will also represent a blow to City’s planning as they look to get their books in order in advance of UEFA bringing in their Financial Fair Play rules. Emotional release: Edin Dzeko hails Aguero after his winner [size=1.2em]An early exit is not something Mancini will be allowed to get away with more than once. This competition really is that important, on and off the field. [size=1.2em]But in terms of Mancini’s position as he approaches his second anniversary in charge, it really should not affect anything. [size=1.2em]A serious tilt at the Premier League would serve as decent compensation, after all.

蓝月亮希望犹存，曼奇尼值得欢呼
由 czechnedved 发表在GoalHi足球·翻译团-足球

一位石玫瑰乐队的成员曾经说过，在曼城夺得欧冠之前，他们不会再开演唱会。然而在这一切发生之前，这支乐队最近正在筹划在明年于希顿公园进行两场演出。乐迷们感到很奇怪，因为乐队贝斯手曼尼恰巧是一名曼联球迷。

曼尼没有必要去担心乐队解散15年来曼城的成功，欧冠小组赛赛程过半，他也不太关心他支持的球队的同城对手是否能征服欧洲。但是曼城在小组赛中挣扎的表现不会让所有人坐视不理。


阿圭罗的进球让曼城重获生机。

或许曼奇尼和他的球员们不会在本赛季问鼎欧洲，但是在意大利人的带领下，看上去球队这几年并没有在欧洲赛场上给人以什么很深的印象。

曼城似乎不是很适应欧冠赛场，曼奇尼在欧冠赛场上也没太多资历，这些复杂的内在因素东西看上去让曼奇尼很是苦恼。

三周前的慕尼黑，他的错误布阵让球队0-2完败。这场比赛，他在比赛进行到39分钟时就做出了战术调整。

但是，从现在到十二月份初的小组赛结束，无论发生什么都不会影响曼奇尼在伊蒂哈德体育场的长期地位。


欢庆胜利，曼奇尼拥抱阿圭罗。

毕竟，是曼奇尼带领曼城杀进欧冠，是曼奇尼在上周末带领球队超越同城对手曼联独自领跑英超。

周一早上，曼奇尼在曼城训练中心的帐篷里接受采访，他说在曼城的这几年似乎让他老了4岁。如果俱乐部的拥有者能像他们之前说的那样拥有一个长期稳定的战略，他们就会邀请曼奇尼去阿布扎比，给他一支笔笔然后让他签字。

曼奇尼是一个令人喜爱的教练，同时他也是一个敏感、苛求、反复无常的人。在他继续执教曼城前进的过程中，毋庸置疑，会收到来自意大利的执教邀请。

不管怎样，曼城是时候让曼奇尼继续呆在球队了，曼奇尼的合同在这个圣诞之后就只剩下18个月了，作为一名教练，这并不是很长。


球队落后，教练组焦躁的表情。

这是一场令人紧张的比赛。小组赛首场战平那不勒斯以及后来的兵败慕尼黑给予了这场比赛更多的意义。

当然比起11月22日同那不勒斯的比赛，这场比赛似乎意义没有那么大。而意甲球队与拜仁战平，这似乎让曼城与比利亚雷亚尔的比赛成为了一场淘汰赛。阿圭罗93分钟的制胜球可以让曼奇尼赛后去谈论他的取胜之匙了。确实，当球离开阿圭罗的脚下时，整个曼城队的小组赛前景都发生了巨大的变化。

进军淘汰赛是球队的首要目标，但是不仅仅是这样。

如果球队被淘汰，巨大的失望将伴随球队。同时这会大大打击球队的财政事务——他们期待通过欧洲赛场上的优异表现获得更多的收入。


阿圭罗打进制胜球后，哲科与之激情庆祝。

曼奇尼不会被允许让球队两次过早出局。竞争着实残酷，无论场上还是场下。但是无论结果如何都不会影响到曼奇尼带领球队打完这个赛季的既定事实。

毕竟，英超赛场上出色的表现也可以成为合理的补偿。

Manchester City 2-1 Villarreal
Manchester City v Villarreal: Five things we learned
On the day the Stone Roses reformed, Manchester City found a way to win and announce their return as a European power

1 City are starting to look at home in Europe

Five years ago, when asked if the Stone Roses might ever reform, their bass player, Gary "Mani" Mounfield (a man of firm Manchester United origins), gloatingly declared that it would happen "the day after Man City win the European Cup". Instead, it happened just as City won their first game in the competition and, in the process, established a decent position to qualify for the last 16. They cut it close and the truth is it was, for the most part, a flat performance, but Sergio Agüero's late and decisive goal totally changed the picture in Group A.

2 Roberto Mancini is not afraid of admitting when he's got things wrong

The clock said 39 minutes when the electronic board confirmed that Adam Johnson was going to play no further part. This is one of the worst humiliations for a footballer: being substituted inside the first half, although he later revealed that it was a tactical decision rather than a judgement on the player's performance. Roberto Mancini has shown many times that he is not afraid of taking a hard line when he suspects a player is not clicking or if his tactics are wrong.

3 Edin Dzeko is struggling

He has scored seven times in nine starts for City this season and he has played a significant part in making sure that the Carlos Tevez saga has not caused too much damage. Yet there remains the sense that City are not playing to Dzeko's strengths. Mancini does not operate with orthodox wingers, preferring to play a left-footed player on the right and vice versa. The tendency is for the wingers to come inside on to their stronger foot, which can make it a narrow system. Dzeko had a poor game and appears to have lost a bit of confidence since his recent fall-out with Mancini but he has said he would benefit from a more regular supply of crosses – "Every striker is stronger when he plays with wingers" – and it was probably no surprise that his best chances came from wide deliveries.

4 The jury is out on Operation One End

Someone at City has had the idea to improve the atmosphere by creating a "singing section" behind the goal where the away fans usually sit. Villarreal's tiny band of supporters were moved to the third tier of the East Stand and the experiment, if deemed a success, will lead to a permanent switch. Not all of the City fans are behind the move, however. The noise was good but decibel levels at the Etihad Stadium have vastly increased over the last year anyway. The decision-makers need a rethink: sticking the away fans in the most remote corner of the ground has the potential to harm the atmosphere, rather than enhance it. A better idea would be to do so solely on the occasions when the away following is so small.

5 A fully fit Sergio Agüero is a necessity

Villarreal defended stoutly and with Mario Balotelli suspended and David Silva flickering only in short spells, one of the disappointments for City was their lack of creativity in telling areas. This, perhaps, was the first time they could have done with Tevez, someone to take the ball, put his head down and drive towards goal. But City have a new hero these days. Agüero came on for the last half-hour and was only on the edges for much of that time. But his late, dramatic contribution could not have come at a better moment.

曼城欧战首胜五件事：哲科需要传中，曼城需要阿Kun

由 余文乐 发表在GoalHi足球·翻译团-足球

在石玫瑰乐队（注：80年代曼彻斯特的著名乐队，今天宣布重组）的重组之日，曼城也找到了赢球的方式，宣告了他们在欧洲的回归。

1 曼城开始适应欧战

五年前，当我问石玫瑰会不会重组时，他们的贝斯手加里-曼尼-莫恩菲尔德（曼联球迷）说，“那得等曼城夺得欧洲冠军了”。然而，这个事情在曼城赢得首场欧冠就发生了。此役过后，曼城也在为小组出线争到了一个不错得位置，阿圭罗的绝杀改变了整个A组的出线形势。

2 曼奇尼并不害怕承认错误

39分钟，曼奇尼换下了亚当-约翰逊。在上半场即被换下，是球员其中一个最糟糕的耻辱，尽管他后来发现这是一个战术上的决定，而不是根据球员的表现作出的安排。曼奇尼已经很多次地证明了如果他认为一名球员没有认真踢或者他的战术有问题，他并不害怕对狠心换下一名球员。

3 哲科在挣扎中

这个赛季，他为曼城9次首发打进7球，他是保证特维斯闹剧不至于影响太大的重要组成部分。但人们依然感觉曼城没有把哲科用在点子上。曼奇尼没有使用传统边锋，反而用了一个左脚的边锋放在右路。边锋对内切的热衷让阵形变得很窄。哲科表现不佳，而且似乎已经失去了一些自信，但他说过，他需要更多稳定供应的传中，这会让他表现更加出色。“中锋在搭配边锋的时候，会变得更强”，并不让人意外的是，他最好的机会都是来自边路的传中。

4 客队球迷被赶到角落

曼城的某人有意通过组建一个歌唱选拨队来改善球场气氛。而他们的座位被安排在球门的后面，也就是通常的客队球迷区。比利亚雷亚尔的球迷被转移到东看台的第三层。如果试验被认为是成功的话，这会引致永久的改变。然而并非所有的曼城球迷都支持这个决定。经过去年一个赛季的努力，伊蒂哈德体育场的气氛已经好了很多。决策者需要重新考虑的是，把客队球迷赶到最遥远的角落有可能伤害到气氛，而不是增强之。一个更好的主意是只在客场球迷极少的时候才这样做。

5 一个完全健康的阿圭罗是必需的

比利亚雷亚尔防守非常坚固，巴洛特利停赛，席尔瓦仅仅活跃了一段短时间。曼城其中一个让人失望的地方就是他们在致命区域缺乏创造力。也许这是他们想起特维斯，一个可以自己拿球低头单打，取得进球的球员。但曼城有了自己的新英雄。阿圭罗只打了最后半个小时，但他的绝杀来得正是时候。
