Chapter 45 Three Away Games

Manchester United lost the game by a large margin, and the clubs that compete with Manchester United are happy to see jokes. This mentality is based on the starting point of "Manchester City is not qualified to compete for the league title".

Manchester City is just a powerhouse in the Premier League. No matter in terms of funds or personnel, it is impossible to support them to become strong. The competition for the league title is a matter of the whole season. Without strong heritage and strength, it is impossible to have a chance to win the championship.

Last season, Wan Sheng led Derby County to the league title, which was a miracle.

Miracles are created, but no one thinks this young Chinese can create another miracle.

Therefore, even if Manchester City beat Manchester United by a big score, even if they showed the tactical strength of oppression, they are just Manchester City, just a Premier League powerhouse, and it is difficult for the Premier League powerhouse to compete for the league title.

The above are the thoughts of the media and various clubs, as well as the public's views on Manchester City's new season. After Wansheng leads the team, maybe Manchester City's results will be better, but it is definitely not enough to compete for the league championship. European Championships.

Manchester City have always aimed for this.

In addition, supporting this view is Wansheng's attitude.

Last summer, when the young Chinese led Derby County to their first game, he emphasized to the media that the team's goal was to compete for a place in the Champions League, that is, the semi-finals, but now the young Chinese did not What more to say, he especially targeted the young players of Manchester United, but it was just a war of words. He did not emphasize the team's goals, which means that Manchester City probably has no fixed goals in the new season.

Competing for better results? maybe.

If you let them know that Wansheng's goal is only to win the championship, it is estimated that they will not be so optimistic, but now the public praises Manchester City and Wansheng unanimously.

Wansheng got more attention.

At the same time, this game also attracted the attention of many foreign media, and naturally Wansheng also attracted the attention of many foreign media.

Most notable. Or Chinese media.

In fact, outside Manchester City's training base, there have always been many oriental faces, most of which are Chinese, because Manchester City has two Chinese players. and a Chinese head coach. Now in China, many fans regard Manchester City as a 'Chinese overseas team'.

The 'China Overseas Team', of course, is very worth interviewing.

After this game, there is more domestic attention. Before, there were fans who didn't know what club Manchester City was, but after the game was broadcast live on CCTV. Everyone knows that there are two clubs in Manchester, England. One of them is the famous Manchester United team, and this famous team lost to another team by five goals.

This is Manchester City!

The only top league club led by foreign coaches from overseas; the only overseas club with two Chinese players!

As a result, more Chinese reporters came to interview, and almost as long as domestic media concerned about European football, they would send reporters to interview.

However, Wan Sheng did not give his compatriots any favourable treatment. In fact, he never had a cold for these media reporters, and he couldn't even think of taking care of his compatriots who were weathered outside, let alone. Journalists are journalists, and interviewing is their profession. Now that they can't be interviewed, they have to go through it, so they don't need special care at all.

In addition, recently, in addition to appearing in regular press conferences, Wan Sheng has never been interviewed by any media, including Manchester City's partner media. Naturally, it is impossible for him to think of his fellow media.

In short, more attention has been paid, but Wansheng has not appeared in the public eye.

As a result, many domestic media directly contacted Manchester City to ask for an interview with Wansheng, but Manchester City was happy to see the Chinese media to do the interview. Manchester United, the arch-rival in the same city, is well promoted in the East, where there are many Manchester United fans, and they also hope to do some in other continents. Promote and expand the influence of the club.

But when the notice came to Wansheng, Wansheng refused all of them. The only words to refuse were three words, "No time!"

Wansheng really has no time.

Just leading the team to train, prepare for the game, and deal with the team's affairs consumes all his work time, and he has to continue to organize his master's thesis - this work started in the summer, with Anita's help, and now he It's only half done, where does he have time to deal with those media reporters?

But his refusal upset the media.

Many domestic media reporters were indignant and criticized Wansheng for throwing big names. "If you win a game, your tail will rise to the sky." Sheng was also unavailable for interviews.

These voices are still influential.

Many domestic fans who want to know the news of Wansheng find that there is no report of Wansheng coaching in the media, but all kinds of criticism. After listening to it, they will naturally think that Wansheng is a big-name person, but the Chinese people have an advantage: Take everything for granted. For example, now, when the media reports that Wansheng is playing a big name, many people think that Wansheng should be playing a big name.

"If you have the ability, you can also lead a team to beat Manchester United 5-0!"

"If you can do it, do whatever you want!"

"Wan Sheng is still playing? He is a big name! He is the head coach of the Premier League's 'Little Triple Crown' team, and now he is coaching Manchester City and dares to wrestle with Manchester United!"

"Look at the British reports. Wansheng publicly dared to scold C-Ronaldo and Rooney. Do you dare?"

"..."

There is a lot of quarrel about Wansheng in China, but the public fans basically support Wansheng. In fact, the fans are very satisfied. They feel that Wansheng has really led the team to achieve results. The guy who appears frequently in the public eye, but loses again and again is too strong.

Therefore, domestic fans can only support Wansheng, and what the media says is not very useful.

It is precisely because of the support trend of domestic fans that even though Wan Sheng has refused numerous interviews, the domestic media still gritted their teeth and came to Manchester City for interviews. Even if the interviews with Wan Sheng were not available, film the training of Manchester City and interview Sun Jihai, Wang Xiaolei or other Manchester City. Players can also make up a lot of reports.

Soon the reporters thought of a good way. They went to interview those players who were more familiar with Wansheng, so that they could report to Wansheng from the side.

So Morris, Ziegler. They became the target of interviews with the Chinese media because they followed Wan Sheng to Manchester City.

Morris and Ziegler were used to interviewing reporters.

Morris has long been famous. Even when Gregory coached, he was the core player in the team, and many local media wanted to interview him; Ziegler also grew up in two years. It gets better with performance. The more attention he receives, not only from the support media of the team, but also from Belgium. He has attracted the attention of the Belgian media and has a good chance of entering the Belgian national team.

However, it was definitely the first time in history that the two of them were interviewed by many Chinese media at the same time, and they were very interested in it when the reporter asked about Wansheng. They will also say something.

With the two people's reverence for Wansheng exceeding 100. One can imagine how convincing and capable head coach Wansheng is in their hearts.

After summing up their statements, many reporters have created a perfect head coach with extraordinary ability, conscientiousness, diligence, caring about players, easy to get along and many other advantages.

Such a person is a saint, not a human...

The reporters discovered this, but they couldn't find the shortcomings of Wansheng from Morris and Ziegler's mouth, so they could only focus on other players, and their focus of work also changed to 'digging out'. Wansheng's shortcomings'.

Many reporters sighed. Wanting to do Wansheng's reporting is really a difficult job.

......

The Manchester derby has been over for a few days. But the impact of the game has not gone away.

There is often some news in the Manchester United club. There are conflicts among the players in the team, and there are conflicts between the captain Keegan and the head coach Ferguson. In short, this game has a great impact on Manchester United. After all, they lost the same city derby by five goals. It was a very painful experience.

But one thing is certain, that is, Manchester United coach Ferguson must be very unhappy with Wansheng.

On the second day after the game, Ferguson made a statement on the result of the game, "A football game can happen, it is always full of surprises, yesterday's game was an accident. I didn't expect them to perform so well. , I didn't expect the team to be out of shape in the first league game..."

"There are many reasons for losing, but I'm sure if I meet them again, it will never be the same again!"

The old jazz almost gritted his teeth and said the last sentence.

His implication could not be more direct, that is, don't be too proud of you winning the game, we will take revenge next time we meet!

Ferguson's voice quickly reached Wan Sheng's ears. He smiled disdainfully and said, "I watched a movie yesterday, and there were some gangsters in the movie. After they lost a fight, they always said 'Next'. "You wait for me," and so on, but the next time they play, they'll fail, and they'll have to play supporting roles."

"They are so pitiful. If I were the director, I would definitely pay them more..."

What Wan Sheng said seemed to have nothing to do with the response, but everyone present understood what he meant, that is to say that Ferguson was like a little thug, and he said a cruel word after losing the game.

Many people laughed.

Ferguson also quickly knew what Wan Sheng said, so he found that in bickering, unless he relies on the old to sell the old, it is difficult for him to fight against this young man with his true skills, especially after Manchester United lost the game by a big score.

He was silent.

Wan Sheng didn't say anything else. After all, the game was over, and the war of words or something had no other effect than letting others see jokes.

Next, the focus of the team's work is to prepare for the second round of the league.

Manchester City's second round of the league is quite easy, the opponent is the newly-promoted Sunderland. Sunderland was the champion of the British Championship last season, which can not help but remind people of the miracle of Derby County last season, but the miracle of Derby County is rare in a century. As the champion of the British Championship, after Sunderland is promoted to the Premier League, they can only set realistic goals.

Their head coach has always been McCarthy.

Wansheng knows McCarthy. The two have played against each other twice in the second-tier league and have been in contact with each other in private. Now McCarthy is still coaching Sunderland. He did a good job last season, but in the Premier League, whether he can stay out of the relegation depends on his wishes. luck.

The above are the public's views on Sunderland, and these views are also well-founded. Mainly in the summer, Sunderland did not make big moves. They just introduced two young strikers. That is to say, they still have to rely on the new season. It is difficult for the old squad to have any prospects in the Premier League.

In the first round, they encountered Waterloo at the Stadium of Light. They lost three goals in the face of Charlton and lost the game. In the second round, they met Manchester City.

So is the game.

Although Sunderland performed very tenaciously at their home court, it is difficult for them to have a chance to create miracles against the strong Manchester City. They were suppressed throughout the game, and there were only four shots in the data, and there was no threat at all. shot.

But defensively they performed well, but in the end they lost the game 0:1.

The only goal came at the start of the second half, when Sinclair's insertion created a chance for Joey Button, who scored the only goal of the game with a cold shot in front of the box.

After two rounds of the Premier League, Manchester City has won two games with 6 points and 6 goal difference, beating Chelsea, who also won two games and 5 goal difference, and ranked first in the league standings.

Many media were amazed by Manchester City's achievements.

But there are also many people who take it for granted. After all, Manchester City beat Manchester United five times in the first round and directly ranked first in the league. In the second round, they only beat Sunderland by one goal. They were ranked entirely by their goal difference in the first round. First in the league.

It all depends on the next round.

Soon the last league game in August, the third round of the league, began. This round was postponed due to the conflict between the Community Shield and other cups, but Chelsea and Chelsea, who played a day earlier, were postponed. Arsenal both won by four goals, putting some pressure on Manchester City, who play the next day.

Manchester City's opponent is Birmingham.

The results of this team in Birmingham have always been unbeatable. They have no pressure to avoid relegation and have no ability to improve. The media believes that Manchester City’s winning rate is still very high. They should have won Birmingham, but in the end, Manchester City only won 0 away. :0.

Neither team scored, and the two sides shook hands.

After the game, many media criticized Manchester City's performance. Those media who had been preparing to launch an opposition to Wansheng can finally jump out triumphantly, because they got favorable evidence that Wansheng led the team. Grades are declining.

"Did you see it? The first game is 5:0, the second game is 1:0, and the third game can only be 0:0. It seems that this Chinese team's striker goals are definitely a problem!"

However, Wan Sheng didn't care about it.

For him and the team, the results of the first three rounds have already met expectations. The results of two wins and one loss are already very good, not to mention, the team can come up for three consecutive away games!

Three away games!

First the Manchester derby, then the away game against Sunderland, and then to Birmingham, the three-round league team almost traveled all over the northern part of England, which will naturally affect the state of the whole team, even if the away factor is not considered, the performance will be affected It's also normal.

Of course, those media who are hostile just for the sake of being hostile to Wansheng won't take this into consideration. They are like bereaved dogs that have been hungry for a few days, and they will take a bite when they see something up.

They took the opportunity to criticize Wansheng, which is already a habit.

The most representative of them is the "Daily Mirror", a British tabloid with the same reputation as "The Sun". In the past two years, it was impossible to interview Derby County at all, and now they have been expelled by Manchester City.

The hatred between them and Wan Sheng has reached an insoluble point. When they find an opportunity to criticize Wan Sheng, it is conceivable what they will do. (To be continued ~^~)
