After the start of the second half, under Pellegrini's authority, the players continued to play the established passing and control strategy by the book.
This played right into Seville's hands!
They're not afraid of your passing and control; they're afraid of physical contests.
Seeing Manchester City actually avoid their strengths, Seville's head coach Mei Eri looked at Pellegrini, a mix of delight and confusion.
"Are you out of your mind? If you can be the head coach of Manchester City, then so can I!"
In the 58th minute of the second half.
After Binotto, Iwobi, and Kreleho Vija passed the ball back and forth seven or eight times, they suddenly accelerated the rhythm and passed the ball to the advancing Banega.
Manchester City's two defensive midfielders quickly retreated, and Demichelis and Kompany were also closing in on Gameiro.
"Watch out for Banega's through pass, he loves to pull that move!"
