Chapter 84 White Hot

Ivan Crew has not been doing well these days.

The new coach, Adrian Bosroyd, believed more in the new players he introduced, while Ivan Krew was mediocre in all aspects, with little to shine in both training and games, so he gradually lost his main position.

The most prominent part of Ivan Crew is the free kick. In terms of the game, his mentality is also very good, so he was able to explode last season and scored a lot of goals, but the situation after the arrival of Adrian Bosroyd It's different. The team's tactics have changed a little bit. As a full-back, it's hard for him to find opportunities even if he gets in. As a result, he has only scored one goal. Have a good performance.

Ivan Crewe is naturally very dissatisfied with this situation, so he has considered leaving Derby County.

In fact, with last season's performance, he doesn't have to worry about going home. Many teams want to find a stable winger, but after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to follow his mentor, because following his mentor, he is confident that he can perform again. outstanding.

So he found Wansheng.

Last time, Wan Sheng comforted him a few words and agreed that he would come to Manchester City, and now the two are also discussing this matter, but unlike Benitez who found Robbie Fowler, the two discussed it on the phone, I'm not afraid of being eavesdropped, because the two did not talk about sensitive issues, but Ivan Kru talked about his recent performance and experiences, and Wan Sheng comforted him a few more words, as if they were a harmonious pair of teachers and students.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts what they were talking about now.

Wansheng definitely hopes that Ivan Crewe will come to Manchester City. Ivan Crew's strength can be guaranteed, and his state can also be guaranteed after he comes to the team. His set-piece ability is also very needed by the team, and the team Very lack of midfielders. Musampa has just resumed training, and it will take at least December or even after Christmas to return to the court. Sinclair almost starts every game, and his state is difficult to guarantee. Many times he needs to rely on the veteran Reina to come as a cameo. To fill the lineup. The arrival of Ivan Crewe just solves this problem.

But Derby certainly don't want to sell players to Manchester City!

The most important thing is that Wansheng is the coach of Manchester City. Derby County club chairman Pierce has already lost a lot of face in Wansheng, and he definitely does not want to send players to Wansheng.

So what to do?

The normal transfer method will definitely face some competition, coupled with the "special relationship" between Wansheng and Derby County, it is difficult to buy Ivan Crewe, even if Ivan Crewe himself wants to come to Manchester City. But Derbyshire is bound to drive up the price quite high.

With the current economic situation of Manchester City. There is no need to do this even if you can afford it, it always feels a little bit taken advantage of.

So I can only go to the side and let Ivan Crewe put pressure on the Derby County club.

Under normal circumstances, Wan Sheng doesn't like to use this method, but this is the situation now, and Ivan Crew came to Manchester City is what you want, it is estimated that Derby County also wants to get rid of the burden of Ivan Crew, His salary is still quite high. Only Chairman Pierce would be very unhappy, but so what?

The guy is not happy. Wansheng will be happier!

However, Wansheng did not ask Ivan Crewe to do anything. He believed that Ivan Crewe knew how to do it. All he had to do was to ask Manchester City to make an offer.

After resolving the Ivan Krewe affair, Wan Sheng thought of one person - Bischoff.

This guy went to the reserves in the summer to prepare for the game, and then went silent. He stayed in the reserve team for half a year, and Wan Sheng felt that this punishment was enough. Instead of letting him get his salary in the team for nothing, he might as well put it up for sale. How could he sell for a million pounds.

So Wansheng called Bischoff's agent and asked him to rush to prepare for the transfer.

Bischoff’s agent informed Bischoff, who was very annoyed, “He is going to sell me? What does he think of me! If he wants to put me in the reserve team, put it in the reserve team, and if he stays, Half a year! Well, now that I have adapted to the reserve team, I don't want to leave! Tell him, I just want to stay here, and I won't go anywhere else!"

So Bischoff's agent replied to Wansheng and said, "My players are very loyal to Manchester City, and even if they play for the reserve team, they don't want to leave!"

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time, and then smiled, "So he still fell in love with the reserve team! Well, well, since that's the case, he will continue to stay there."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Bischoff, even if he sells it, it will only be one million pounds. The team can still bear this loss. The key is that he does not repent and fights himself so fiercely!

Well, then continue to stay in the reserve team until the end of the contract!

Wansheng has no inner pressure. Now that the team's performance is so good, the board of directors will definitely unanimously approve any player he wants to buy as long as it is not excessive. Funding will not be a problem at that time, not to mention, Ivan Crew is not so expensive. , do not need to go to war.

Since you are still fighting against Lao Tzu, let's see who has the final say on the team!

...

Bischoff has always wanted to leave. When he has not reached retirement age, he does not want to live on the salary of the reserve team.

What he said to his agent was just on impulse. After hearing the agent's reply, he was stunned. He suddenly thought of who the young head coach was - that would have allowed him to stay in the reserve team for half a year. ruthless character!

I have been in the reserve team for half a year, and it doesn't seem strange to stay for another half a year...

Thinking of this, Bischoff shuddered!

He suddenly thought of Anelka. That guy also came to the reserve team, but soon after apologizing to the young coach, he returned to the first team. Do you want to do the same?

No, never!

Want him to apologize to that young Chinese? That is absolutely absolutely impossible! So he could only suffocate and continue to stay in the reserve team.

...

Soon the news of Ivan Crewe broke out in Derby County. His disagreement with coach Adrian Bosroyd can no longer be regarded as news. This is known to everyone who follows Derby County, but this time, Ivan This is the first time Wan Crewe has come forward to express his dissatisfaction with Bosroyd.

"Our current tactics have changed a little from last season, but this change is bad, not good. He wanted to make changes based on Mr. Wan Sheng's tactics. But it didn't do it well, except for our I don't see any effect other than fewer goals."

Ivan Kru said sarcastically.

"The team's results are not good, let alone compared to last season, we even have relegation pressure now. The defending champions have relegation pressure. Is there anything more interesting?"

"He thought I was mediocre. The others were better, but I only scored fewer goals than Rafael last season."

"A lot of people in the team are already dissatisfied with him. He knows this and has been trying to do something, but it doesn't work."

Ivan Crewe has said so much in the media that the apparent peace between him and coach Adrian Bosroyd can no longer be maintained, and the conflict between the two has been made public.

Adrian Bosroyd is not as tough as Wansheng. Due to team performance and other issues. He didn't have much prestige at Derby and couldn't be too tough, so Ivan Crewe was a big problem.

Bosroyd raised the question of Ivan Crewe to club chairman Pierce. Pierce also decided to sell Ivan Crewe in the winter. In Pierce's view, although Ivan Crewe performed well before, he was after all. Season, this season he's not doing anything at all. So, take advantage of the residual heat to deal with it quickly. Getting out of trouble and getting a decent transfer fee is a good deal.

At this time, Derby County received an offer from Manchester City, and Pierston's face turned black. He felt that this matter must be related to the damn Chinese, but there was no evidence.

"Reject! Reject directly!" Pierce immediately shouted, "We can sell to other clubs cheaply, but we will never sell to them!"

Sam Rush next to him frowned.

Although he supports Pierce as the club chairman, in fact, the club does not belong to Pierce himself, but to the entire GSE group, so Pierce has no right to decide a loss-making business, even if it "earns less".

Pierce hated the Chinese, but he didn't feel it.

Since Manchester City want to pay for Ivan Crewe, what if they don't sell it for a higher price? Anyway, Derby County and Manchester City are not competitive.

If Pierce insists on doing so, he doesn't mind giving Mr. Appleaby a phone call from as far away as the United States.

...

On December 4, the Premier League ushered in the 15th round, Manchester City challenged Charlton away.

In recent years, head coach Kubishley has done a good job with limited resources, but in the second half of last season, Charlton experienced a major landslide, his performance plummeted, and he almost fell to the bottom of the abyss. Fortunately, With the results at the beginning of the season, the Premier League seat was finally retained.

Kubishley has a lot to gain this summer.

He has Smerking on loan from Chelsea, and with Newcastle's Ambrosey, Charlton's midfield has ushered in a new upgrade, and Manchester United's Spector and former Inter Milan midfielder Solomon have ushered in the back line. Rondo, coupled with the striker Earnshaw bought from West Bromwich Albion at a high price, Charlton's strength has improved a lot.

In the first 14 rounds of the league, Charlton's results are also good, ranking 13th, which is neither good nor bad for them, but it is a big gap compared to Manchester City's league first.

In the face of the match against the first in the league, coach Kubishley is also very serious, "We will try our best, the opponent is the first in the league, which puts a lot of pressure on us, but we will stick to the team's previous style of play."

He said so.

Charlton's 'previous style of play', that is, the style of play in the past two seasons, is still dominated by fast offense, and the defense is slightly worse, but it must be mentioned that their offense is indeed very sharp. In 14 rounds of the league, they scored 21 goals, averaging 1.5 goals per game, ranking sixth in the league, but they also conceded a lot, conceding 26 goals in 14 games, ranking the bottom of the league. No. 3, which also lowered their points, so they can only be ranked 13th in the league.

But what must be affirmed is their offensive ability, so before this game, Wansheng also emphasized the need to pay attention to Charlton's offense.

He said it very seriously, and everyone took it seriously.

However, when it came to the game, what everyone noticed was Charlton's 'muddy' defense. Their backcourt frequently appeared empty, and Manchester City could easily find good opportunities. In the 11th minute of the first half, Anelka After hitting Sorondo with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area, the ball hoisted past goalkeeper Polit into the net to help Manchester City take a 1-0 lead.

Anelka was very happy after scoring, but the game had just started and he didn't celebrate much.

He was right to do so.

Just 11 minutes later, Captain Distin made a straight long pass in the backcourt. Anelka turned offside and formed no defense. Charlton goalkeeper Polite attacked decisively, but Anelka calmly picked with his right foot. Shoot easily to score.

"2:0! 2:0! Anelka! In just 22 minutes, the French striker scored twice and scored two goals. Now he has scored more goals in the league than national teammate Henry, Top scorer in the Premier League."

"Or a lot of Menek should think about recalling Anelka into his team..."

The Manchester City fans rejoiced and celebrated in the away stand. In contrast, the Charlton fans were very depressed. They came to see the team and the first game of the league. As a result, in just 22 minutes, the goal was scored twice. It was broken twice, which really made them lose hope of winning.

Fortunately, after 15 minutes, Charlton used a quick counterattack to pull back a goal.

But this does not change the fact that their defense is weak. In the face of Manchester City's tough offensive, their defense line has been overwhelmed again and again, and Manchester City has also won time and time again.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, Manchester City broke Charlton's goal 4 times, and Charlton also scored, but they only scored 1.

The final score was fixed at 2:6, Manchester City won a big victory away, and also achieved an 11-game winning streak in the league.

The 11-game winning streak is not easy, but many Manchester City fans are also concerned about the situation of their competitors, because although Manchester City's results are good, Chelsea's results are also very good, and they have been on a winning streak since losing to Manchester United.

Sadly, Chelsea won again.

They won not be as happy as Manchester City, but they also took all three points, and the league points are still only three points behind Manchester City.

This is Chelsea's 10-game winning streak at home. They beat Middlesbrough 1-0, but after the game, head coach Mourinho was still a little dissatisfied. He believed that the team should have scored more goals.

Drogba, Lampard and others have had good chances, but in the end, only Terry's header was the only one who broke the opponent's door, and thanks to Rosenback's error in clearance.

"I think we should have scored more goals," Mourinho said. "We played very good football, but at the same time I don't think there's any reason for Middlesbrough to lose more because they played so well. It's fine, made it tough for us."

In the first half, Middlesbrough's striker and former Blues player Hasselbaink hit the post, which made Mourinho nervous. Hasselbaink said before the game that Chelsea made a mistake in letting him go, but unfortunately this time he missed a "perfect revenge".

"It looked like luck was on our side when Hasselbaink missed it in that way," Mourinho said. Can score. After the goal, we also had the opportunity to score the second goal, but it didn't happen."

"We felt a little bit of pressure and I was a little worried, but I knew that even with a small lead, my team could fight to the end. We were organised and were very strong defensively, so we were always confident ."

After 15 rounds of the league, it can be seen that the competition for the top spot in the league has heated up.

Manchester City and Chelsea's continuous victories have chilled the hearts of other teams, but also brought the competition between the two sides to a higher level-whether Manchester City wants to widen the gap, or Chelsea wants to catch up with the points, it seems that it depends on the opponent's mistakes. ...(To be continued~^~)
