Chapter 87 The Painful Dinner Party

After the League Cup against Arsenal, the team was disbanded. Everyone was ready to spend Christmas with their families, but Wan Sheng was still very busy. His master's thesis has been delayed until now, and there is no time to complete it. , the investment company is managed by Kevin Tagore, but he still needs to be concerned about it. Fortunately, he does not have to do all kinds of advertising endorsements. The general advertising contract was directly rejected by Kevin Tagore. Speaking of him, this The broker is really incompetent, and doesn't help Wansheng take over the general advertising at all, but this is understandable. Now Wansheng has long since disappeared from the poverty when he first came. After more than a year of development, the assets of his investment company have exceeded 100 million yuan. $60 million.

The investment company has financing shares in it, but under the circumstance of restricting financing, in fact, the financing part only accounts for less than 30%, and Wansheng has a controlling stake, which means that he is only investing in the company's assets. Also over $20 million.

That's a lot of money!

Wansheng's current annual salary, deducting high-income taxes, is more than 4.5 million US dollars, plus more than 20 million in assets, he seems to have become a multi-millionaire, if converted into RMB, he is already a billionaire... ... who would have thought of this?

Now Wansheng's life is the same as before. He works hard every day from morning to night, does all kinds of things for the team, treats the team and the game as seriously as before, and there is no change at all.

But in fact, he is already a millionaire. To use a Chinese dialect, he is already a figure of the "Diamond King Five" level. In fact, this "Diamond King Five" does not even have an official girlfriend.

The uncle Wan Baoming already has Ella, and the two have already flown back to China. While going on vacation, they will pass by the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, and they will not come back until after the new year.

So Wan Sheng is also ready to live with Kevin Tagore. The two of them are like brothers and sisters, they are both millionaires, they are almost 30 years old, and then... they are both single.

Wansheng may not have time to think about this, around Christmas. He is really busy.

In addition to going to sign a few investment agreements. He would also go to London to talk to Professor Hawker about the thesis. In addition, many materials were compiled by Anita, and he would also invite Anita to a feast.

At the same time, he also pays attention to the training situation of the team.

Professional players, especially those in England, don't have a 'Christmas holiday' at all, the more Christmas comes. The schedule gets denser. Although the team had a holiday, they still had to train for a day in the middle of Christmas in order to keep the team in shape and prepare for the league after Christmas.

In fact, Wansheng doesn't care about this, the training effect can be guaranteed, because the tactical training has been planned, Pierce and Diamares are also very good at leading the team, in addition. The opposite of personal training is to do it completely in accordance with the requirements of the system tasks. The effect is definitely very good, but he still has to go, because he knows that football is the foundation of everything, if there is no football, maybe he is nothing, not even as good as an ordinary person, so even if he is busy, football matters His first priority.

Finally, two days later, the 17th round of the Premier League was over, which marked that there would be no more games in the Premier League before Christmas, and many people began to summarize the half-way of the league.

The best performing teams are naturally Chelsea and Manchester City. The reason why Chelsea is ranked ahead of Manchester City is because Chelsea have the Champions League to play and they have also advanced as the top of the group, while Manchester City only has the league, although Manchester City is in the league. League competition has an advantage, but in the eyes of most people, Chelsea is still better than Manchester City, and the chances of winning the championship are also higher.

So what is the positioning of Manchester City in the eyes of most people? Is it the second, top four in the league, or can it last until the end of the season... win the championship?

If Wan Sheng can win the Premier League title in his first season in charge of Manchester City, it would be too incredible. To be honest, it is even more miraculous than Derby County winning the championship. After all, Derby County was created by Wan Sheng. , When they were promoted to the Premier League, the media believed that Derby County was a strong team, but they did not expect them to win the league championship.

Now Manchester City is even more of a miracle. You must know that Manchester City, led by Kevin Keegan, is only a mid-level team in the Premier League.

In the transfer market in the summer, Manchester City did not invest much money to build up and strengthen the team. Wansheng almost led the original team of Manchester City, and a few transfer players, to achieve the current results, which is quite remarkable. .

Winning the championship...that's too much!

A lot of people think so, it would be incredible if Manchester City win the title this season.

Before Christmas, many sports media talking about the Premier League were talking about Manchester City. Some media summed up what Wansheng did after he came to Manchester City, including every player he introduced and every game he led the team. The game and every word said in the media, summarizing the important content together, can let the fans understand a complete Wansheng, and can also pursue some key issues-what is this young Chinese? Make it a success! ?

After summing up, the focus is actually on two points - transfers and tactics.

In terms of transfers, Manchester City has been very successful.

In the summer, Manchester City did not invest much money. Instead, because of the departure of Wright Phillips, there was some financial income, while Leto Ziegler, Lescott, Andy Cole, Koppelle Ferreira and David Silva have performed very well, and Morris and Darren Bent have directly become core players. In terms of performance, they are absolutely world-class. These players have become The mainstay of Manchester City, the ones who really joined the team and performed in general are Ricardo Costa and Wang Dalei, who played very few games. The former is very cheap and is just a substitute in the backcourt. The latter is still very young and has a very promising future as a goalkeeper. space.

In short, the transfer, Wansheng is very successful.

Sky TV's "Comprehensive Football Review" program made a commentary on Wansheng and Manchester City. They talked carefully about every transfer of Manchester City and listed the performance data of each player.

The host of the show concluded very seriously, "This Chinese has an extraordinary vision. Manchester City did not buy more players than other teams, but every player they bought can perform very well!"

"We are wondering why his vision is so accurate! David Silva, Lescott, Koppelle Ferreira, three very good players. Covering three countries: Spain, England and Portugal , but I have to admit, I've never heard any of them by name before, but they came to Manchester City and did a great job..."

"Like Lescott. He was at Wolverhampton. Just in the second division, he's young, but he's not that great, maybe he's a celebrity at Wolverhampton, but I Dare to say, outside of Wolverhampton, no one knows him. Not even his opponent."

"But Wansheng brought him to Manchester City. He came here like an airborne and took up the main position! Then he played quite calmly, yes, calmly. From the beginning of the season, he became a full-back, and he showed It's just in the past, nothing amazing, but it's been so many league rounds. He's still like this, he's doing a good job defending. He's solid, he rarely makes mistakes, and he still has two goals. This performance is definitely not inferior to some famous full-backs."

"It's the same with other Manchester City players who have joined the team, like David Silva, even Darren Bent, I think Darren Bent is likely to be in Eriksen's England team, he can't To be a main striker, but with his previous performance, he is still very competitive, Rooney should be careful..."

"In short, what we can see is that this Chinese has a very accurate vision, and every player he takes in and introduces seems to be able to perform very well!"

"How on earth did he do it?"

The host of the "Comprehensive Football Review" left a question. At the same time, many professional football professionals are also analyzing Manchester City's tactics.

Manchester City's good results this season are inseparable from the new tactics they have adopted. Many people can see this. Manchester City's new tactics are mainly attacking, just like Derby County last season, but not Exactly the same, there are mutual pros and cons compared to Derby County's fast-break football, but it is more technical, at least more passing and possession.

Such tactics are not easy to use, but Manchester City can use tactics very skillfully and use them to suppress opponents in the game.

That's why they get good grades.

"In the game against Manchester City, it is very difficult to gain control of the midfield, because Manchester City is all attacking and defending, and the players move a lot. Even if they grab the ball, they will face immediate pressing. To the ball, but can calmly cooperate and pass the ball to a safe position."

"They usually don't pass quickly, but once they attack, they immediately become very fast, which makes opponents very uncomfortable. At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Manchester City can always suppress opponents."

Many newspapers, online news, and even TV programs are analyzing Manchester City's tactics, so that fans can have a more intuitive and clear understanding of the reasons why Manchester City can achieve good results.

If you read the various reports about Manchester City in the media, many people will have a feeling that they already know Manchester City very well, so that Manchester City's opponents will also understand, then after Christmas, Manchester City will not be so scary.

It would be a big mistake to think so!

In fact, the content of these analyses is no longer news. Manchester City's opponents have long known what Manchester City's tactics look like. They have professional tactical analysts, and they can know the general style of Manchester City's play through a few game videos.

But know what?

Knowing and being able to deal with it are two different things. Manchester City's tactics are very complicated. Although there are still some problems, in fact, it is already a mature tactic. It is very difficult to target a mature tactic, because even if you know how to break it, you The team is also difficult to adapt to the cracking method.

This is where the problem lies.

All in all, these analyses are almost meaningless.

......

Soon it was the day before Christmas. It was a training day. It wasn't until 3 o'clock in the afternoon that Wansheng let the team disband, and then they went back to their homes to prepare for Christmas.

When Wan Sheng was about to leave, he saw Chairman Wald in front of the gate of the training ground.

He is waving towards this.

Wan Sheng walked over, and heard Wald ask with a smile, "Do you have time at night? Wan Sheng!"

Wan Sheng nodded suspiciously.

"Let's have dinner together, then. My wife Milo has always wanted to meet you. She is your admirer." Wald laughed. "She told me in the morning that she wanted you to be a guest at home."

Wan Sheng hesitated, but nodded, "Okay, sir. It's a great honor."

"Don't you have to accompany your girlfriend for Christmas?" Wald asked concerned.

Wan Sheng smiled bitterly.

"I can't believe that you don't have a girlfriend yet. If I have a daughter, I will definitely introduce her to you." Wald said with a smile.

"thanks."

Wan Sheng didn't really want to go.

Being able to have a family dinner with Mr. Chairman will definitely enhance the relationship. As a head coach, it is still very important to have a good relationship with the club chairman, so Wan Sheng is very polite, but Wald is a very particular person, he belongs to that This kind of traditional British, and dealing with this kind of old-fashioned British is still very annoying.

Wan Sheng only hoped that Milo would be more cheerful, so that this dinner would not be too painful. (To be continued ~^~)
