Chapter 74 Tough
This morning, Bischoff came to the training ground at the same time as usual. Whenever this time, he could always see that Anelka was already on the training ground, maybe he was trained in the first team. Habit, the latter will always come earlier.
The two train together every day in the reserve team, but they don't have a word to talk to each other, but in fact Bischoff still feels sympathy with Anelka. The situation is the same.
Bischoff felt that the "future" of the two would be the same--
Either go back to the first team together, provided that damn Chinese get out of Manchester City; or just transfer away from Manchester City.
But today, when Bischoff came to the training ground, he didn't see Anelka. He felt very strange. After so many days, Anelka has never been late. How could he be better than himself today? Is it too late?
He found someone familiar and asked, "Hey man, do you know where Nikolai went? Did he come?"
Paristini felt weird. Bischoff wouldn't usually talk to them, but he still replied, "I heard that he went back."
"Go back? Where did he go? Did he transfer away?"
Paristini rolled his eyes. He doubted the IQ of the guy in front of him. "Of course he's back in the first team. He's the team's top scorer!"
"What? Back to the first team? Are you sure?" Bischoff's expression was a little complimented. He really didn't expect this result.
"Of course, Malwood said it."
"How did he go?"
"It seems that he went to the first team coach this morning, and then went straight back to training." Paristini said of course, "I guess he is apologizing for something. He is a big star, so it's okay to have trouble with the coach. It's alright, just apologize and go back."
Paristini walked away. There was only Bischoff with an exaggerated face left in place, and Parisini's theory of 'take for granted' made him feel unacceptable - what does it mean to go back after an apology? Why should we apologize to that damn Chinese?
Unless the Chinese asks me to go back, I must not apologize!
Thinking of this, Bischoff gritted his teeth even more at Anelka's behavior. 'This weak Frenchman. Did he think it was over to apologize to the Chinese and then go back to the first team? He has already offended that Chinese, and he will definitely not end well! ’
...
Anelka didn't know that there was still a Bischoff in the reserve team thinking about him, and when he returned to the first team, he trained with the team - no different from before.
The only thing is that there are teammates who always talk about it.
"Nikola, are you back?"
"Why are you back? Boss forgives you?"
"I thought you were going to stay in the reserve for a few days!"
"..."
Hearing these words, Anelka was a little embarrassed. He secretly looked at Leto Ziegler, who knew what was going on. I hope he doesn't say it. Fortunately, the Belgian boy is not a talkative person. He didn't make a public statement about the morning.
In this way, when everyone knows that he is back, things will be over. Anelka feels pretty good, and he has regained the feeling he used to feel.
Now he is back in the first team, but he still has to fight for the main position again, but Anelka is very confident in his strength. He believes that he is much stronger than others, and as long as he is willing to work hard, he will be able to regain the main position.
He has to keep trying. Continue to perform well so that his position will be solid.
Just like Eric Manasse said, only by performing well and only by helping the team win the championship can he be favored by everyone. It will not be a problem to get a big contract at that time, and now all he needs to do is to keep a low profile, Effort and performance.
Wansheng didn't know what Anelka thought, and of course, he didn't care at all. What he saw was the overall training atmosphere of the team.
He hopes that the team can always maintain fierce internal competition, so that everyone will train harder.
Much stronger now than before.
Among the former strikers, Anelka was the main force that could not be beaten. Darren Bent was too young, had little experience, and was not well-known. Naturally, he could only be a substitute. As for Andy Cole and Robbie- Fowler, the two veterans have nothing to say.
Such a competitive environment is very bad, because no matter how hard you work, it is difficult to change the position of the main force and the substitute. Now it is different. After Anelka returned to the first team, he also knew that he wanted to regain the main position. And Darren Bent also realizes that his position is very unstable, so both of them will work very hard.
The same goes for players in other positions.
There are Morris, Joey Barton and David Silva in the middle of the midfield. All three of them can be said to be the main force, but there are only two positions in each game. We must strive for these two positions in key games. , it depends on who will win Wansheng's favor in training, so the three of them are training very hard.
In the back line, Leto Ziegler has always been the hardest in training, Lescott is not bad, Ricardo Costa is very clear that it will take a long time for him to fight for the main position.
Koppelle Ferreira has half of the main position, but under the pressure of two strong competitors Dunn and Distin, he has not yet had the right to slack off in training.
In short, the atmosphere of competition in the team is still very good.
Wansheng is still very satisfied with this. He needs such a training atmosphere with healthy competition. There is no absolute main force or substitute in the team. As long as the training does not work hard or the state is not good, the main force can directly become a substitute.
Only in such an atmosphere can the team be full of vitality and its strength can be rapidly improved.
...
In the thirteenth round of the league, Manchester City's opponent is Blackburn.
Whether it's in Derby County or Manchester City now, every time they meet this opponent, Wansheng feels a bit of a headache, because Blackburn's style of play is too tough, even though their strength is actually not strong, the goals scored last season It is also the least in the Premier League, but their fierce and tough defense is still unwilling to touch.
In the summer, Blackburn's biggest adjustment was to buy Bellamy's.
Last season, Blackburn's striker was weak and scored the fewest goals in the Premier League. Coach Hughes bought his compatriot Bellamy from Newcastle. The arrival of Bellamy has greatly improved Blackburn's striker ability. The results are also good, they are eighth in the league, second only to the outstanding performance of Newcastle United.
Blackburn is not easy to deal with. Wansheng believes that this is also a test for the team-the biggest problem with the team at present is that it is not tough enough. When playing against teams like Blackburn and Bolton, it is easy to fight for the best. Downwind.
So before the game, Wansheng emphasized the fight and physical collision.
But when it came to the game, Manchester City still played very difficult, mainly because Blackburn's defense was too tough. They handled the ball very decisively in defense. It was difficult for Manchester City to take advantage of the frontcourt only by relying on tactics and personal skills.
Wan Sheng has been standing on the sidelines, waving his hands and shouting to command the team. He hopes the team can play harder.
But the actual effect is not obvious.
The team was still a little weak in the frontcourt, and many times it was because of the fierce defense of the opponent, and finally missed the opportunity.
In the end, Wansheng chose to replace David Silva, because he found that the midfield led by Silva was indeed a little weak - this Spanish boy still needs to slowly adapt to English football.
After Joey Barton came on the court, things were noticeably better.
Joey Barton has the nickname of 'bad boy', which shows what his style of play looks like. The midfield he leads is no weaker than his opponents in terms of fighting, and Manchester City quickly established a tactical and technical Score advantage.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Joey Barton passed the ball to the left, and Lescott, who followed, helped the team take the lead with a long shot.
It was the only goal in the game.
After such a game, Manchester City has gained a lot, and Wansheng has also gained a lot. He found that players with different styles are actually very useful.
He used to think Morris and David Silva were the perfect pairing, but this game showed him that Joey Button was clearly more practical against an opponent like Blackburn - even though he was technically better than the other two. Everyone has some differences.
In the training that followed, Wan Sheng began to emphasize his body and toughness.
He has been emphasizing technicality before, which may work in Spain, but here is England, he must make the team not lose in the fight, in order to be qualified to compete with the opponent's technology, he didn't pay much attention before, the lineup The last few young players have made the team's style more soft, and it is too late to correct it now.
Wan Sheng didn't feel annoyed by this.
Everyone makes mistakes, not to mention that his coaching experience is still very short. It is impossible not to make mistakes at all. Fortunately, it is too late to correct now, and the team is also in a process of gradually strengthening, and the tactics are also Slowly improving, discovering and solving problems is good news in itself, which shows the progress of the team, and relative to him, it is also his own progress.
However, before the team could settle anything, the league had already entered the next round.
Manchester City's opponent this time is Liverpool.
The game between the two teams is still very attractive. Manchester City is currently ranked first in the league, and many people are paying attention to Manchester City's game. Benitez's Liverpool are by no means soft persimmons. Although their results are mediocre, they are the 'defending Champions League champions', coupled with the title of 'decline giants', it is enough to make all teams cautious.
But these are not the key to attracting attention to the game. A voice before the game directly brought the media discussion to a climax.
"From now on, only we can represent Manchester." (To be continued ~^~)
