Chapter 77 This Opponent Is Shameless!

At the pre-match press conference, Wan Sheng appeared at the venue on time, and clearly said three things to the media reporters.

The first is about the private meeting between Liverpool manager Benitez and Robbie Fowler.

This is the focus of the media and fans. Since the news broke, the two clubs have frequently held press conferences on this matter. Various news have been reported, and many people are watching the development.

For Manchester City and Wansheng, this is also the first thing to be pursued.

"I never thought that a world-renowned coach would do such a thing!" Wan Sheng said angrily, standing on the stage, "Don't he know that UEFA does not allow private contact with players? Or he explained What kind of personal friendship did the two meet!?"

Wan Sheng waved his arm forcefully, "It's useless no matter how he explains it, we will definitely pursue it to the end!"

It's a matter of attitude!

The coach of the other side contacts his players privately, or at the critical moment before the two teams stand. This is definitely a direct provocation. The violation is actually second. If Manchester City is not tough, then many people will do it in the future! ?

The second thing that Wan Sheng emphasized is still related to this issue, "Maybe he deliberately let reporters take pictures, he wanted to use this to affect our state - look! Robbie Fowler is ready to leave Manchester City. Now! That way, Robbie won't be in the starting lineup."

"He was afraid of Robbie's goal and that's why he did it."

"But he got the wrong idea, I don't doubt it, Robbie is one of the best strikers in the world, and he has a very good personal game and is in good form, I have no reason not to let him play! "

This is also the third thing Wansheng said - the announcement of the competition list.

Manchester City's starting list is similar to what the media speculated. The only difference is in the frontcourt, where Robbie Fowler and Anelka start.

The start of these two partners is incredible. It's not about the pairing, it's the situation that came in at Manchester City.

One is that Darren Bent is in good shape, and Anelka heard that he was suspended by the team, so Anelka was surprised when he started.

The second is that Robbie Fowler replaced Andy Cole, and many media reporters in the audience were thinking about getting the roster. Is it because of recent news. Only let this young Chinese choose Robbie Fowler.

Is this trying to use playing time to keep him?

......

No matter what the media reporters thought, Wan Sheng left the press conference after saying what he wanted to say. After he left, Benitez was long in coming.

The Spaniard definitely didn't want to meet Wan Sheng, so he came to the venue at this time.

In fact, Benitez was very embarrassed and embarrassed about being exposed to Robbie Fowler. This caused him a lot of trouble. The FA needs to conduct some questions and investigations on him. At the same time, the whole world knows that he is poaching Manchester City, but he must also "fabricate" some other reasons, otherwise he will definitely face a more severe punishment.

So for Robbie Fowler, Benitez does not want to make any answer, and because of this, he does not want to appear at the venue with Wan Sheng. Otherwise it's hard to avoid problems.

In the press conference venue, Benitez only said about the problems within the Liverpool team.

Although there is a lot of media talking about Liverpool's striker problem. Liverpool does have this problem, but in fact, Liverpool's results are not bad. They have won three consecutive league victories, and they have also risen to seventh in the standings. Climbing in the standings is not the only good news, plus two championships. Cup, they have achieved 4 wins and 1 draw since they were eliminated by Crystal Palace in the League Cup and remain unbeaten.

"It was the most consistent period under me." Benitez was full of confidence. "Obviously, this team is approaching my ideal state. If we were only 60% close to perfect last season, then Now we're at 70 percent."

Talking about the game against Manchester City, he said, "We are confident because we are in better form. Manchester City are not a good team to deal with, they are the first in the league, but I tell everyone, we are the first in the league to score points It is so precious.”

Maybe he really has confidence, but unfortunately media reporters are all concerned about Robbie Fowler's topic, and they have little interest in expressing confidence in him.

......

Manchester Stadium, the home team's locker room, Wansheng began to make his last words.

The media believed that Robbie Fowler's starting lineup was a temporary adjustment made by Wansheng, but in fact, Wansheng had already arranged the tactics of the game.

Any team has its particularity, Liverpool's special place is the toughness of defense and the strength of strength.

The defense is tough and the strength is strong. It's not a big deal separately, but it's not easy to add the two together. This can be seen from Liverpool's recent results-despite the problems of the striker, they have won the league for three consecutive times. win and conceded six straight games.

For such a team, it is necessary to make targeted arrangements.

The first thing to consider is how to break through Liverpool's defense and how to break through Liverpool's goal. As long as you can score goals, it will be much easier to win, because Liverpool's offense is much less dangerous in comparison.

Wansheng's idea is to let Anelka attract the defense and support the offense.

Liverpool would never have imagined that, as Manchester City's top scorer, Anelka, who scored as much as Henry in the league, would support the offense and leave opportunities to other teammates.

This can have an unexpected effect.

At the same time, this style of play can also create more opportunities. In the face of a tough defense, more passes can easily create more opportunities. Anelka will definitely be targeted in the frontcourt and cooperate more with his teammates. It's very important. In addition, Robbie Fowler's ability is quite comprehensive. He is a player who can score goals. As a forward, he will definitely pose a powerful threat to Liverpool's defense.

In fact, Wansheng first considered starting Darren Bent, attracting defense and supporting offense in the frontcourt. Anelka is obviously more suitable. In terms of reputation, Anelka is much bigger than Darren Bent. In terms of ability, he has reached the peak of his career, and there are only a handful of strikers in Europe that are better than him.

Although Anelka is a little "unruly", he must also admit that he is excellent on the field.

As long as he can play normally in the last game and help the team to win, Wansheng will still give him a chance.

...

Anelka is also very happy.

Although he didn't like the task of 'cooperating with the offense' very much, his ability to start quickly proved his importance in the team - as long as he returned to the first team, he directly regained the main position.

He was worried about his position before, but he doesn't need to worry now.

He believes that there will be a day when the team will be inseparable from him, and then he will have the capital, and wanting a big contract will not be a problem at all, and now all he needs to do is continue to work hard.

It's like this game, the coach's tactics before the game are very detailed. He doesn't like his role on the field very much, but it is always better to start the game than to sit on the bench!

It's not that he has no chance, he just needs to cooperate more with his teammates.

Robbie Fowler, who is his partner, is also an acquaintance. The two have been teammates for several years, and he does not contradict him at all.

Wansheng doesn't care about Anelka's thoughts, as long as every player can perform their best on the court, it doesn't matter whether they are careful or not.

He only cares about the team's performance.

The focus of this game against Liverpool's tactics is actually 'plug in'. The focus of the 'kill' tactic is rhythm and control, and transmission and coordination are an important way to achieve the tactical focus. Free', pass the ball if you can, it doesn't matter if you can play individually, as long as you can score, you can choose anything.

However, as the tactical training goes deeper, the routines are constructed more clearly, and after the details of the game, there is a very crucial 'rear plug'. In this way, the players who follow behind can easily find a fatal opportunity.

The appearance of Anelka has a stronger tactical effect.

Robbie - Fowler, Morris and David - Silva and others are the key players in the back.

Liverpool certainly did not expect Anelka to become a 'tactical center' to attract firepower, so Wansheng is still very confident in the game.

At this point, the game has started.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines and watched the game carefully. What he observed was more about the performance of his own players, because at the beginning of the game, Manchester City relied on favorable factors such as tactics and home ground to obtain a situational suppression, and kept moving towards Liverpool half-time. attack.

But attacking alone is not enough. To beat a team like Liverpool, decisive goals are necessary.

Wan Sheng is very clear about this, so he did not show any relaxed expression because of the advantage of the situation. Instead, his brows slightly wrinkled as the two attacks were weak.

Despite the preparations before the game, Liverpool's defense is really too tough, especially for a 'big club' like them, and they don't shamelessly use intensive defense to stop the attack... Such an opponent is really a headache!

Perhaps, the Spaniards have no concept of face at all.

For him, being able to lead Liverpool to good results is the only goal. Since the introduction of a few Spanish players, Liverpool have added some skills, but the whole can still be described as 'rough'. The only thing they can do well is toughness , 'Liverpool spirit' is also an important force they rely on.

In the face of a tenacious Liverpool, it is not realistic for Manchester City to score in a short time.

Wan Sheng could only stand on the sidelines with a wry smile, sighing with a headache, "Liverpool, this opponent... is so shameless..." (To be continued ~^~)
