Chapter 92 The Must-Win Game

How upset Adrian Bosroyd was, Wansheng didn't care at all. In fact, after the game against Derby County, his mind was not on this, but turned to the next league in the league. Round - big fight at Manchester Stadium vs Chelsea!

This is the most watched game of Christmas!

On December 26th, the first round started after Christmas. This round focused on the competition between the two 'old nobles' Liverpool and Newcastle United. However, the current results of the two teams are difficult to attract the attention of fans, so not many people pay attention to the game. , Those who pay more attention to the game may just look at Michael Owen, who has returned to the Premier League. As for Newcastle United, he doesn't care.

The next round, which is about to start, on December 29, is the most intriguing, as Manchester City will play Chelsea in this round.

At present, Manchester City ranks first in the league, but only one point more than Chelsea, and Manchester United in third place is 11 points less than Chelsea. In this case, it can be said that the only teams that have a chance to compete for the championship this season are Manchester City and Chelsea. Chelsea two teams.

The outcome of the game will determine the ranking of the top two in the Premier League, which is one of the reasons why the game attracts attention. After all, the game that affects the top two rankings in the Premier League must be watched, but the most important thing is that the two teams are in this season. All performed well.

Manchester City are still unbeaten in the league so far; Chelsea have lost one, but are only one point behind Manchester City, who also have two draws.

The gorgeous results of the two teams have made other teams completely uncompetitive. Even the strong Manchester United in the past is 11 points less than the second place Chelsea. It is too difficult to catch up.

If Manchester United want to compete for the title, they will have to rely on Manchester City and Chelsea to make mistakes at the same time, which is obviously unlikely.

Another reason for the game's attention is that it's a showdown between Wansheng and Mourinho.

Wan Sheng and Mourinho entered the Premier League in the same year.

At that time, Wan Sheng led the newly-promoted Derby County. Mourinho coached the upstart giant Chelsea with the halo of a ‘champion coach’, but as a result Derby County won the league title, and Chelsea could only rank second in the league.

Wansheng won the final victory.

That was the result of last season, this season is different, Wan Sheng has started to coach Manchester City. Manchester City are just the Premier League powerhouse. Not much better than Derby County, Chelsea coached by Mourinho is obviously more stable and stronger, so who can win the showdown between the two now?

"Perhaps the outcome of this game will determine the ownership of the league championship!" Some football people couldn't help but draw conclusions in advance.

......

This game is indeed very interesting.

In the two days before the game, a huge influx of journalists has already poured into Manchester, according to incomplete statistics. There are nearly 1,000 people working for the game interviews; more than 10 million fans are following the game; more than 15 TV stations will broadcast the game live.

The day before the game. The regular press conference held by Manchester City was also very lively. More than 100 reporters entered the venue for interviews, which made the small conference hall of the Manchester City Club very lively, and the crowded scene seemed very popular.

In fact, this is only a part of the people selected by the staff. Most of them are from big media, or reporters from other countries, or local media reporters who are familiar with each other. And those media reporters who have little influence can only stay outside the venue and wait for news.

Wan Sheng attended the press conference on time.

This is a regular press conference for Manchester City. There is no need for the head coach of the team to participate. Usually, the press officer announces some news about the club, or if there is a focus of the club, he comes forward for interviews, etc., but today is different. Everyone knows that these reporters are here for the purpose of Tomorrow's game, to make them satisfied can only be Wan Sheng as the team's head coach.

Manchester City Club doesn't want to offend so many media reporters, especially many of them are reporters from other countries. In order to ensure their image and use the opportunity to expand their influence, Wansheng can only take time to participate.

Wan Sheng didn't have any objections. In fact, even if Chairman Waddle didn't come and tell him in person, he would participate.

As the media said, this is his duel with Mourinho. The media and fans are very concerned about the game, and he is also very concerned, because it is directly related to the team's first place in the league, and even the morale that follows.

For this game, Wansheng already had a definition in his heart.

"For us, this is a game that can only be won and not lost!" At the press conference, he said firmly, "My players and I also said the same, we must win, and we must win to guarantee the league ranking. We do not It will give them a chance to catch up, which is very dangerous for us!"

A reporter immediately questioned, "How can you guarantee a victory? The opponent is Chelsea!"

Wan Sheng smiled slightly and replied, "When you do something that 'must be done', does it need a reason? It's like standing on the road, trying to avoid a fast-moving car, and then you will think 'how come Guaranteed to escape'? No, you won't, because you simply don't have time to judge."

"That's what we are now, we don't need to think too much because we have to win, we have to do it, that's our attitude to the game!"

......

Wansheng's "win-win theory" at the regular press conference was reported by many media and commented by many people.

There are many positive comments from the media, who think these words are very heart-warming.

"It's not surprising that Wan Sheng can say this, maybe that's why he's so successful - he sees winning as a must!"

"Now who dares to say that they must win against Chelsea? No, Barcelona dare not, but Manchester City can because their manager's name is Wan Sheng, he is not afraid of Mourinho."

"This has given some inspiration to the coaches of other teams. When they faced tough opponents and expressed 'will work hard', Manchester City faced the most powerful Chelsea, but expressed 'must win'. ..."

"..."

Some media have also made negative comments. These are the media that are hostile to Wansheng. No matter what Wansheng says, they will not report good news. What Wansheng said is also 'understood' as arrogance.

"We should wait for Manchester City to lose the game and see what else this Chinese can say!"

"That must have been interesting, he said 'must win' and he lost."

"The result will definitely be the opposite of what he said, or maybe we got it wrong, he said Chelsea must win..."

"..."

In this way, various media reports enthusiastically.

In response to this closely watched game, London's "Daily Mail" specially invited 16 experts to predict the attribution of victory, and 12 people voted for Chelsea, including Lineker and Mancho, while Manchester City Only got 3 votes.

"442" magazine predicted in the season preview that the champion will be Chelsea, while Manchester City will be third.

All these show that the big British media are still widely optimistic about Chelsea.

Chelsea's biggest advantage is its strength and the stability brought about by its strength. Manchester City doesn't have much advantage in this regard. They can't see anything in their squad except for results.

As Lineker, who was invited, said, "Manchester City is supported because of Wansheng, who always brings confidence and always surprising results. A good manager can Brings a lot, but he's just a man after all, Chelsea is a team."

Lineker's words were very supported by Mourinho. The Portuguese laughed immediately after learning the news, "He is right, we are a team, and every one of our players is very good. Frank, John, Robben, William, Claude... Who are they?"

His 'question' was quickly sent to Wan Sheng's ears.

This is the war of words before the game.

This is almost every important game, the routine 'war of words', especially the game between Manchester City and Chelsea, can't escape this link, so Wansheng's performance is very calm, completely unaffected by Mourinho's words, He also smiled and said, "Chelsea is a team? Oh? I heard that Mr. Abramovich is bullish on Ukrainian nuclear warheads, so I was thinking maybe I'll see Mr. Warcraft on the bench next year. If that's the case, My team welcomes him because I admire him..."

Wan Sheng's round-the-clock sarcasm and poaching made the reporters on the scene almost turn their heads ten times before they could keep up. Before they could admire the Chinese language and art in front of them, they heard Wan Sheng continue, "Man City is not alone. He's just talking nonsense with his eyes open."

"Look, I have Anelka in my team, he is now the top scorer in the league, can they come up with players who can score goals with Anelka? My team also has Maurice, Frank Lan Pad has a better chance of playing in England, but I dare to say to Eriksen that if he gives Lee a chance, he will not have to be questioned as much because his team will definitely be better then! "

"Talking about the backcourt, we have Distin, Dunn, Koppelle-Ferret...I don't know who to play because they all played very well, the previous game , we also conceded fewer goals than them..."

"Then why does he say that Man City is only me? Although I have a sense of achievement, it is obvious that we are more 'a team' than them. What about them?"

Then the question came back to Mourinho.

Soon the two of you spoke, and I spoke, and various language arts were exposed in the field of football, attracting the attention of almost all media.

This has also become the focus of the most attention before the game.

Many foreign media had to sigh inwardly, "As expected of the world's largest league, it's already so lively before a game starts!" (To be continued ~^~)
