Chapter 58 Showing the Enemy to Be Weak

Wan Sheng was really humble.

In the eyes of media reporters, this young man is always very arrogant, even to the point of being a little arrogant, he will never compromise with the media and opponents, especially in terms of team performance and strength, every time he speaks is a 'must win' ', every time it's 'the champion can only be us', and now they suddenly heard Wan Sheng say that Manchester City is just a relegation team, they are all stunned.

Did I hear it wrong?

This Chinese is actually humble, and also said that Mourinho overestimated them? Even said that Manchester City's goal is to avoid relegation?

what happened? how can that be possible?

Is it a hallucination or reality... They were a little confused, but they were absolutely sure of what they had just heard, so they began to speculate--

Is there something wrong with Manchester City?

In other words, Manchester City's goal is actually to avoid relegation, and the current results are just luck?

Does this Chinese really just want to lead the team to avoid relegation? Is there a big problem with their tactics, or what?

Among the various speculations, the media reporters were even more puzzled.

Of course, Wansheng doesn't care what they think or even what they report, he just stated the 'facts', the club's planning goal for this season is to avoid relegation, and Waddell gave him two years to transform the team , If he can't get any results in the past two years, he will not have any pressure.

It's just that his own goal is not to avoid relegation.

But this does not mean that Wansheng's desire to win has diminished. His goal is still to win the championship, and his desire to win the championship is still very strong. It's just that Manchester City's current situation makes it unnecessary to participate in the complicated war of words in the Premier League.

Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams, Manchester City is still relatively 'free', and they have a lot of time to train. Because they have no European competition, the only competition is domestic leagues and cups, and the League Cup will not start until mid-October. Before that, Manchester City only need to play two league games.

Such an idle schedule. Gives Manchester City plenty of time to train.

Wansheng's idea is to no matter what the outside world says. The team only needs to be at ease and do a good job of training, so participating in external debates outweighs the loss, and being modest may also achieve unexpected goals, such as making opponents careless.

Wansheng's modesty still has a certain effect.

The next day, a big media analyzed the situation of Manchester City based on Wansheng's words. The article pointed out that Manchester City did not have the strength to win the championship. They just changed their head coach. The new tactics are far from perfect. Even if the results in the first few rounds were good, it would be a bit of a fantasy to keep it for a long time. Another problem with this Manchester City is that they are too young. The team sold a lot in the summer. Teams and veterans are in their prime, so that the front and backcourt positions are occupied by various teenagers and newcomers. Even if Wansheng has a good vision, these players are very strong. But it will take a long time to combine them into a whole. So at least this season, Manchester City is not able to compete for the championship.

This report came from The Sun. After the report, many media followed suit and agreed with their analysis.

In fact, the report is the voice of many people.

In the summer, they felt that only those teams could win the championship, nothing more than Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, plus the defending champion Derby County who had a chance. Going to a Manchester City always makes people feel weird. When they saw the big media say this, they suddenly realized that Manchester City only had good results for a while, just a dark horse who suddenly stepped in, not a team with the ability to win the championship. !

Therefore, various media followed suit and reported on it. Although the media supporting Manchester City kept refuting and claiming that the team was very strong, Wansheng was just 'the modesty of the Chinese' and so on, but their influence was a lot worse. In addition, Wan Sheng himself did not stand up to explain, and the trend of public opinion will naturally not change.

At this time, Manchester City are working hard to do training.

Before October, they all only needed to participate in the league. Affected by European competitions and international competition days, the league schedule was also very loose. From mid-September to October, there was only one game, so Wansheng can rest assured and let the team go vigorously. Do tactical training.

When there are consecutive training days, Wansheng will let the team focus on tactical training, which seems to be ineffective for a few days, but it is different in Manchester City. Under the influence of 'collaboration' skills, Manchester City's tactical training is more efficient than Other teams are several times faster, plus some personal training and Wansheng's scientific and reasonable arrangements for training, Manchester City's one week time is even equivalent to other teams training for 20 days or more, the team's tactical movement. , The tacit understanding between players has also been significantly improved in training.

When the outside world is arguing about Wansheng's modesty, Manchester City is quietly improving its strength.

Although Wansheng said to the media that "the goal set by the club is to avoid relegation", he did not say that in the team.

In order to encourage everyone to train hard and increase the enthusiasm of the team for training, and also to prevent outside reports from affecting the team, Wansheng gathered everyone this morning and said to them, "You should hear from the media these days. After all, they think we're just a relegation team?"

Everyone looked at each other, thinking, wasn't that what you said?

Wan Shengman waved his hand indifferently, and said, "Our ancient Chinese wrote a book on warfare, the title of the book is "The Art of War of Sun Tzu". Confuse the enemy, the enemy is visible and I am invisible, let the enemy's strength be exposed as much as possible, but my strength is hidden, so that the enemy will wrongly judge my strength, overestimate my own strength, and will rashly attack me, But I can concentrate superior forces and wipe them out."

"I said this to those media, not because of Chinese humility, but to show the enemy's weakness. We have to make our opponents think that we are weak, and then they are likely to make wrong judgments, which will give us more chances to win!"

Everyone listened to Wan Sheng's explanation in a daze, and suddenly felt a cold sweat.

This young coach is really despicable... and despicable is despicable, and this despicableness is still inherited.

"It seems that we should be careful about the Chinese in the future..." Many people thought.

Wan Sheng waved his hand and continued to say loudly, "But no matter what I say to the outside world, we all have to train hard, only our strength is strong enough. We perform well enough in the game, no matter what the opponent is, we can all Victory!"

"Now I can tell you clearly that our goal is not just to avoid relegation, on the contrary. For me. The only goal of leading the team to the league is to win the championship!"

"Yes, champion! League champion!"

"In the past two seasons, I have led Derby County to the second league title and the Premier League title. Now that I am coaching Manchester City and becoming your manager, my goal is still to lead the team to win the championship!"

"So what do you guys think? Does anyone want to win the championship? Who doesn't want to win the championship! Come on out now and tell me!"

Of course no one came forward.

Wan Sheng looked at everyone seriously. Then he waved his arms and said excitedly. "Very good! All of you have the same goal as mine, we can unite and work hard to win the championship, then, from now on, work hard and put in training! As long as each of us has the heart of the championship, I dare to say that next year five The championship trophy of the month will definitely belong to us! At that time, you can hold it and show it around the city. Or kiss it and enjoy the honor it represents. You can do whatever you want! The premise is that now you need to work hard and invest train!"

"Is there anyone who doesn't understand what I mean?"

Everyone immediately shook their heads.

Although what Wan Sheng said is actually not too fierce, and he is not the kind of person with a natural leadership temperament, but the innate affinity of the 'hypocrisy' skill, and the good results in the previous rounds, under the influence of the team Most people still feel motivated.

It's as if the title must belong to Manchester City.

Seeing the players actively participating in training, Pierce feels very unbelievable. He has been with the team for a few years, but the team training has always been a little sloppy, but now it seems that everyone is very active, did the Chinese just say If so, is it really that effective?

He doesn't understand.

At the same time, he also feels that this is where his gap lies. It is no wonder that this Chinese can lead the team to the championship and is favored by many people, and he can only be an assistant coach now, and he still needs to learn a lot.

Thinking of these, Pierce is also full of fighting spirit.

He finds that he can learn a lot from Wansheng and is improving all the time, and this feeling makes him very motivated.

...

September 24 is the seventh round of the league, Manchester City away to Newcastle United.

Newcastle United did not perform well last season. They invested heavily in signings in the summer, hoping to strengthen their strength and achieve good results.

Parker and Emre are both good deals. Their arrival has improved the performance of Newcastle United's midfield, but in other positions, they have not gained much. Robert is gone, Ambrosse is gone, the thickness of the wing It was weakened, and the back line only signed Moore, a free agent, and he did not seem to be much better than Aubrio who left the team.

Everyone knows that Newcastle United's bigger crisis lies in the striker. After Bellamy and Kluivert left the team, the team's striker had problems. Coach Souness had to keep Alan Schiller, hoping that the veteran would play for him again. The team plays for one season.

Newcastle United's move only paid off after the league started, with news of the signing of Michael Owen making them one of the most high-profile clubs in England.

At the end of last season, Real Madrid signed Julio Cesar Baptista and Robson De Sousa, making Michael Owen completely reduced to the fifth striker. Owen couldn't bear to live in backup for a long time. Finally decided to leave Real Madrid, but Liverpool did not want to buy him back, Manchester United did not have his place, Owen had to choose other teams, so Newcastle United got the opportunity.

At the beginning of September, Michael Owen returned to the Premier League for 18 million pounds, joined Newcastle United, and on September 10, when he played for Newcastle United for the first time, he scored in the game against Fulham. a ball.

It was also Owen's first goal for Newcastle.

Michael Owen returned to the Premier League and scored goals immediately, which naturally attracted the attention of the whole of England. So when Newcastle United met Manchester City, the game also became a high-profile game, and many media speculated about the result of the game.

But in fact, Wansheng did not take Newcastle United to heart. A Michael Owen is not worthy of his special attention. More importantly, this Newcastle United exchanged blood too seriously in the summer. Souness has a good ability, but he wants to It is also extremely difficult to reintegrate the team in a short period of time, which is why Newcastle United’s results in the first few rounds were only mediocre.

Souness is not 10,000 wins. After the team completes the big change, it will take a while for the team to stabilize.

Therefore, the current Newcastle United is not too strong, at least there is not much threat to Manchester City, which has also completed a major change of blood, and has become close to being skilled in cooperation, even if they are playing at home.

Wansheng also stabilized the players' mentality before the game.

"This game is not difficult for us. You just play well and we can win!" he told everyone.

This puts less pressure on the players.

The game is also just as Wansheng judged, Manchester City is not difficult to play.

Newcastle United belong to the kind of team that can play irresistible attacking football. They are not much worse than Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in this regard. The difference is only the style of attacking football, and it is because of this. The style of the game is such that if they want to play well, the team must have skillful cooperation as the foundation, but they, who just completed the big change in the summer, obviously do not have this foundation, so when they encounter the same offensive football, cooperate with them. The more skilled Manchester City, they will only have the fate of being bullied.

They were being suppressed all over the place.

Newcastle United fans hope that their new idol Michael Owen can help the team score goals, but in fact, Owen, who started the game, can't even touch the ball. It took a lot of physical energy to go back and forth, but when the team was completely suppressed, he couldn't find any chance at all.

Manchester City is the exact opposite.

Their cooperation is extremely skilled, and the constant passing makes Newcastle United's defense exhausted. The team's forwards are also in good shape. In the second half, Darren Bent and Andy Cole scored a goal for the team respectively.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 2-0 away and won the seventh round of the league.

At the post-match press conference, Newcastle United coach Souness also had to admit, "We couldn't play an advantage in the whole game, and the defense was very difficult. This Manchester City gave us no hope of winning."

"The media said before that their goal was to avoid relegation. I don't know why they judged this way, but what I saw was a very strong opponent, so strong that we can only accept defeat..."

"Even if they can win the league title next year, I'm not surprised at all..." (To be continued ~^~)
