Chapter Fifty-Seven Modesty

The game was over, but the din at Manchester Stadium continued, with the sound of stadium broadcasts echoing overhead.

"Congratulations to Manchester City for their victory, they beat Boltonians, 2-0, this is their fifth victory in the league, and the league is only six rounds away!"

"This is also Manchester City's three-game winning streak at home!"

"Six rounds, three away games, three home games, they beat arch-rivals Manchester United, a perfect home win, and now everyone has to praise their achievements, they are the only team in the league that can compete with Chelsea.. …”

"Speaking of this, I have to regret to say that in the simultaneous match between Charlton and Chelsea, Chelsea also won by two goals. Their result is six wins from six games, which is better than Manchester City."

"However, Manchester City should be satisfied with the current results. The fans position Manchester City as a powerhouse in the Premier League, but it seems that they have a record of competing for the championship!"

"Judging from the results of the first few games, Wan Sheng has had a good start in coaching Manchester City. After he left Derby County, he is still the amazing young Chinese coach. Under his leadership, Manchester City is also getting better and better results. it is good."

"Now they have another victory, congratulations to them!"

"This game Manchester City played in style and played brilliantly. Although the best player belongs to Anelka who scored two goals, I think the most worth mentioning is their Portuguese centre-back Koppelle Fei. Leila..."

"From the performance of this game, this Portuguese central defender will undoubtedly become the future star of the team, and maybe he will also be the future star of Portugal."

"His great defensive performance has caught the attention of the audience and I'm sure his name will be spread in England tomorrow, there will be a lot of coverage in the Portuguese media, he's going to be famous... we should too. Congratulations to him..."

"But one game may not represent everything. We still have to observe his follow-up performance and hope that he can surprise Manchester City fans!"

"..."

The words of the stadium broadcast expressed the hearts of many Manchester City fans. They were extremely satisfied with the team's results in the first six rounds, and they were also looking forward to Koppelle Ferreira, who performed well in the game.

certainly. The most important thing is the team's performance.

Three in a row. It doesn't sound like much, but it's not easy to do.

Manchester City's third-round draw away at Birmingham robbed them of a three-game winning streak, but they did it now, winning five of six games, better than any time in the whole of last season.

When Wan Sheng first coached Manchester City, in fact, many people did not pay more attention to Manchester City. Because Wan Sheng left Derby County. They feel that if this young Chinese wants to succeed, he needs other opportunities. After all, it is impossible for any head coach to guarantee that any team will succeed, but now they find that they must pay attention to Manchester City, which is coached by Wan Sheng. Because Manchester City's results are really gorgeous, only second to Chelsea, which has won six consecutive league victories.

So driven by the results, more media paid attention to Manchester City again. Follow Wansheng.

After Wansheng left Derby County, many "Wansheng Opposition" media reporters breathed a sigh of relief. Because they don't have to continue fighting with this Chinese who has always made people speechless, but now they find that they don't fight and don't say anything, but the interview still has to continue, because after this Chinese went to Manchester City, It is also the focus of the English league.

......

At the end of the game, Manchester City fans cheered.

This three-game winning streak brings a good mood to all Manchester City fans, and the entire Manchester City team is also affected a lot. For example, Diamares and other newcomers are nothing, just three-game winning streak. In Derby County, this kind of The results are too normal, but Pierce is very excited. He has been in Manchester City for many years, but the three-game winning streak is not easy to come across. His eyes on Wansheng are a bit complicated, because he thought that if he coached Manchester City, it would be so easy. Have a three-game winning streak?

The answer is obvious.

So he found out that he was not as good as the young Chinese, and then he could only accept the reality with a wry smile.

Fortunately, Pierce played for Manchester City a few years ago. He and many players in the team used to be teammates. Although his mood was very complicated, driven by the active atmosphere in the locker room, he quickly forgot his troubles.

"Three straight victories! 2:0! Anelka, great job!"

"Of course, haha! I'm a genius! But you guys are pretty good too, I shot two empty shots!"

"Everyone did a great job!"

"Koppel is great, I'm sure you'll be a big star tomorrow!"

"Scolari will consider putting you in his team!"

"You can still go to Germany next summer and represent Portugal in the World Cup. It's a wonderful stage. I really envy you... It's a pity that I'm old..."

"Cole, your hometown dialect has such a strong taste that Koppeller can't understand it at all!"

"He must understand, right? Ferreira, look, he nods! Even if he doesn't understand, does the word 'Portugal' understand? He should know what I'm talking about!"

"..."

Amidst the noise of his teammates, Koppelle Ferreira had no choice but to say a word. He enjoyed the feeling that everyone was talking about him, but a group of unscrupulous teammates still felt a little depressed.

But he is in a good mood now.

Because he knows that he performed extremely well in the game, even so good that some teammates are jealous, so they will say this about himself, but like everyone said, is he really hopeful to enter the Portugal team?

Koppelle Ferreira has some reverence.

At this moment, the door of the locker room was pushed open, and Wan Sheng walked in from the outside, looked at everyone, and asked loudly with a smile, "How does it feel to win!?"

"very good!"

"awesome!"

"I hope to win every day!"

Wan Sheng nodded and continued, "I want to praise each of you, because I see that each of you has performed very hard and very well! You have even exceeded my expectations, especially..." He looked towards Koppelle-Ferrera.

Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he was praising Koppelle-Ferrera.

Then Wansheng began to seriously summarize the problems in the game. At this point in time, the team should have celebrated the victory. However, Wansheng still feels that everyone is most impressed by the game now, and it is best to let everyone know where there are still some problems and where they are doing well. And it doesn't take much time.

It's a bit of a blow to the spirit of the team. But Wansheng, as the head coach, still has to say, after all, the team's tactics have been improving all the time, and if there are problems, they must be corrected, so that they can continue to improve.

Fortunately, the team just won, everyone's enthusiasm is good.

In the game, they also felt the suppression of the team's tactics on the opponent. In addition, Anelka almost scored a goal with two feet. Let everyone see the power of the new tactics, their confidence in the new tactics greatly increased, and they also actively participated in the discussion of the game summary.

After a brief summary, seeing that the time was about the same, Wan Sheng showed some players before leaving the locker room and went to the press conference.

In the passage of the mixed zone, Wan Sheng met Bolton coach Allardyce.

The two are old rivals. There have been games against each other last season, and Allardyce is completely at a disadvantage. However, the two have communicated about coaching in private. Among the coaches of Premier League teams, they can still talk about it, so although the two are opponents, but the game has ended, there is no hostility to speak of.

Allardyce took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Wan Sheng, "You did a really good job, I didn't expect that in just one summer, you changed this Manchester City team. If they used to win us, it would not be so simple. ."

"Now, Manchester City is my team." Wan Sheng emphasized the personal error of Allardyce. "Your performance is also very good. If you can play better, maybe we will lose."

This is a rare humility.

But what he said is also true. Any team will have a headache for an opponent with a tough style of play. Bolton's style of play can be called tough in England. It is something that no team wants to encounter, because no one will be willing to let himself play the ball. If the team fights with teammates, it will be a headache if a player is injured, so a team like Bolton is still quite difficult, even if they are not as good as others in tactics and strength, it is not easy to beat them.

After listening to Wan Sheng's words, Allardyce didn't deny anything, just smiled, and then the two walked into the press conference together.

There are already many reporters in the venue.

When the two walked in, all kinds of flashing lights and cameras pointed at them. The venue was very large. The two were the coaches of the home and away teams, and the questions were also conducted separately.

As far as Manchester City is concerned, the media are concerned about Wansheng himself, Manchester City’s performance and outstanding new players. The media are concerned about many issues, but the most important thing is actually related to the players.

Anelka and Koppelle Ferreira are the two focal points.

Anelka has always been the most concerned player in Manchester City, because he was very expensive when he moved to Manchester City. He is now the team's forward-selected striker, and has always been expected by the media and fans. Now he finally broke out in six rounds. Five goals in the league will naturally attract attention.

Another concern is Koppelle Ferreira!

Before the game, Koppelle Ferreira and Ricardo Costa received attention at the same time because they formed a double central defender to guard Manchester City's defense, and the reason they received attention was that the media and fans were not optimistic about their performance.. .... Now the situation is reversed, Ricardo Costa is doing well and not many people pay attention to him, and Koppelle Ferreira has attracted a lot of attention because of his performance.

Media reporters wanted to ask about Koppelle Ferreira, and they even hoped that Wansheng would bring Koppelle Ferreira to the press conference.

Wansheng will definitely not care what the reporters think. For European football, Koppelle Ferreira is still a rookie. Although he is more than 22 years old, he is really not well-known in European football. As far as the team is concerned, he is also just a rookie. Wansheng will definitely not bring the rookie to the press conference. That is equivalent to special favor and care. What do the old people of the team think? More importantly, he didn't want to be so troublesome. If reporters had the ability, they would go directly to interview Koppelle Ferreira. Of course, it was not during the opening hours of training. Wansheng would prohibit reporters from interviewing training. He himself would not consider this.

In short, it is impossible for Wansheng to bring Koppelle Ferreira to the press conference, and even the question about Koppelle Ferreira does not want to answer.

When two reporters asked Koppelle Ferreira questions in a row, Wan Sheng said directly, "Ask about the game!"

Then the next one is about Koppelle Ferreira. The problem becomes. "What do you think of Koppelle Ferreira's performance in the game?"

Wan Sheng remarked helplessly, "Not bad."

He seemed to be starting, but he didn't say anything after waiting for a long time. The reporters in the audience went from hope to disappointment. They saw the young Chinese stand up and said, "I don't think you will care. There is a problem with the game. So sorry. The interview ended early." Then he walked towards the gate of the venue, not giving the people around him a chance to ask questions at all.

It's rude and disrespectful, but no reporter dared to say anything, just because this is Manchester Stadium.

The ownership of Manchester Stadium belongs to Manchester City, and naturally all interpretation rights also belong to Manchester City, and Wansheng represents Manchester City. At Manchester City's first external press conference of the new season, he said the words "I am in charge of my site". The reporters who dared to 'resist' were all kicked out, and then they all learned how to behave. No matter what Wansheng did in his own territory, they turned a blind eye and would not refute his remarks. They just listened, wrote down, and thought about it. How can we dig out more news from the mouth of this Chinese.

Yes, they have tried to get used to it.

......

Manchester City beat Bolton and achieved a good three-game winning streak, but they did not become the focus of England on the second day, because the focus of England was only one, and that was Chelsea who got rid of Charlton 2-0. Six-game winning streak.

The Chelsea team was quite natural for the easy win. Assistant coach Clark expressed Chelsea's attitude after the game, "It was a wonderful game, Charlton had a good start, and we took the pressure from them in the first half. In midfield, many people questioned whether we could adjust properly, we asked the players to hold down the opponent, and opportunities would always arise."

Regarding the performance of the players in this game, Clark gave a high evaluation, "Although the final result was perfect, it took us a lot of time to master the game. The players adjusted in time on the field and gradually controlled their opponents. For Chelsea , to win every opponent is not five minutes to score, but 90 minutes to control the whole game."

Essien, who assisted Crespo in this game, was praised by Clark, "Because of the transfer dispute, Essien has spent quite a messy pre-season preparation, but he is a high-level player, and he is adjusting himself as soon as possible. The form that Premier League champions need."

Speaking of which, Clark did not forget to hit back at those doubts about Essien's high value, "Essien's performance proves that he is worth his money, and he is getting stronger and stronger, look at his upward momentum in the Premier League. Just started."

On the other hand, Charlton coach Kobe Bishley is obviously willing to accept the team's complete defeat, "Chelsea are really strong now, especially once they score a goal, defeating them becomes out of reach. Now Chelsea have not lost in six consecutive rounds. The ball, such an opponent really has no flaws."

"Having a midfield with Essien, Makelele and Lampard, it's terrifying. They're pressing nonstop and Chelsea's biggest guarantee of control. I can say his midfield is more organised than ever. "For the excellent performance of Chelsea's midfield, Kobe Bishley's tone is still very envious.

Finally, he talked about his team, "In the past few years, we could still get opportunities in strong teams, but now Jose Mourinho's Chelsea makes me helpless."

The Charlton boss appears to be telling other title contenders that catching up with Chelsea this season will be tough.

But Chelsea are also really good. So far, in the six rounds of the league, they have scored 12 goals and conceded 0 goals. The only one who can compare with them is Manchester City, who have scored two goals and conceded one goal. , This aspect is not bad, but Manchester City has drawn a game and can only be pressed by Chelsea in second place.

At the same time, Chelsea have broken the record for the best start in Premier League history.

In Chelsea's six games of almost no chance, Clark made it clear: "Our strategy is to stop the ball, you can't stop the opponent from attacking you, but you can stop the opponent from getting a shot. It's our winning formula."

Perhaps for the assistant coach, talking about the team's victory is already very exciting, but for the head coach Mourinho, it is meaningless to talk about winning, because the victory has already been won, and it is impossible to talk about one more game. , He is more willing to attack opponents, especially London's arch-rivals Arsenal and Chelsea's possible rivalry Manchester City.

Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 in the last round, so Wenger talked about chasing Chelsea, but Mourinho poured cold water on Arsenal after this round, "This season, it is very difficult for them to enter the fourth quarter. powerful!"

In an interview with London's Time Out magazine, Mourinho said, "Ferguson has won a lot of titles and if you ask him now, he still wants to. I love that. And my first Once I heard Wenger say 'I've won four titles, so it doesn't matter if I win or not'."

Mourinho believes that Wenger lacks Ferguson's desire for the title, and boldly predicts Manchester United second, Liverpool third, Manchester City fourth, Arsenal fifth.

champion?

Then ask!

In the end, Mourinho finally talked about his old rival Wansheng. "He did a good job in Derby County. He had better luck last season, but he wanted to lead that Manchester City to win the championship. It's a bit whimsical."

"Every season, there will be small teams that start well and even catch up with the big clubs, like Everton and Bolton last season, but their good results can't last the whole season, so he can only be Fourth, but Manchester City's ability to beat Arsenal and get a place in the Champions League is enough to prove his (Wan Sheng) success!"

Mourinho said with certainty.

It was like the season was over and the league standings were exactly what he said.

Mourinho was almost a 'map gun' like a group of ridicule, and naturally he got a unanimous response from the coaches of each team. Then he and Wenger continued to fight each other in a sequel. Soon Wenger grabbed Chelsea "No. Fear of ugly victories" responded.

Wenger proudly declared, "It is the duty of the Premier League to entertain the fans and Arsenal will continue to do so."

"Fans pay 50, 60 or even 70 pounds to watch a game, they never want to see a dull, boring game. They want to experience the fun of football, and I think all teams in the Premier League have an obligation to keep fans happy."

"Victory can't be ignored, of course, the combination of the two is difficult. But that doesn't mean 'win with ugliness'. Every manager - including Mourinho - should aim to keep the fans happy, I think Mourinho Neo would agree with me. Unfortunately, things change sometimes, but Arsenal will stick with it."

Perhaps this is also the pride of the Arsenal people.

At the same time, reporters also came to interview Wansheng. They talked about Mourinho's comments on Manchester City. They hoped that Wansheng could give a more powerful response. In the eyes of many people, this young Chinese is not the one who suffers from the loss. Sometimes his 'language arts' are sharper than Mourinho's.

However, to their disappointment, Wan Sheng did not make a "forceful" response, but rather humbled, "He ranked us fourth? I'm really surprised."

"When I first coached the team, Mr. Waddell promised to give me two years to transform the team. In these two seasons, we only need to complete the relegation, so, to be precise, we are a relegation team. ."

"Thanks for his praise, yes, fourth is a praise for us, like he said, there is always a team that starts well every season, we are lucky..."

"I also hope our good luck can continue forever, God bless!" (To be continued ~^~)
