Chapter 165 Unpleasant Conversation

There are many reasons why the media is not optimistic about Manchester City.

In terms of transfers, Manchester City's inaction is disappointing, but in fact this is to be expected. Manchester City's results last season were quite good, but they did not participate in European competitions after all. The income generated by the league championship alone is not as much as imagined, and the reputation effect brought by the championship does not directly bring benefits. Therefore, Manchester City's actual income did not meet expectations. Considering that Manchester City is still burdened with huge debts, it is impossible for them to invest too much in the transfer market.

Manchester City has increased a lot of spending.

They need to increase the salaries of the original players. Just this, Manchester City’s financial investment will rise by a notch. In addition, they also need to expand the east side stand of Manchester Stadium, which is also a lot of money, so Manchester City did not invest Big money in the transfer market is a normal thing because their finances don't allow it.

The 'oldness' of tactics is also a problem. The reason why Manchester City were able to become the league champions last season was more crucial because of their novel tactics, which caught other teams by surprise. By this season, all teams have understood Their tactics, with some preparation, the situation will be very different.

In addition, the strength of other teams is also the key.

There are not many additions to Manchester United as a whole. Coupled with the departure of Van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane and others, Manchester United's lineup is not as gorgeous as last season. There is no doubt about the strength of Manchester United. The acquisition was officially completed at the club. After the end of the period, Manchester United has no internal worries, so they can concentrate on the game.

So Manchester United this season is still very worth looking forward to.

Chelsea came to Ballack and came to Shevchenko. The arrival of two superstars made them the focus of the world. It is worth mentioning that. Shevchenko's transfer also created a new record for Chelsea's transfer fee - 35 million pounds.

The addition of these two superstars, coupled with Chelsea's original line-up, anyone would think that Chelsea will be the most favorable contender for the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League in the new season!

In addition, Liverpool and Arsenal also made additions to the lineup. Strength has increased. Newcastle, whose performance has improved last season, also spent 30 million pounds to introduce Duff and Martins to expand their army. In this case, Manchester City, the defending champion, will not be more optimistic.

The best commentary of public opinion only thinks that Manchester City is a "strong contender for the top four in the league", which is still based on Manchester City's status as the defending champion.

In this public opinion, Manchester City seems to be very low-key.

Wansheng did not argue with the media's comments. Just focused on preparing for the new season. At present, the team's training work is still mainly to adapt to the new formation.

Although the basic tactics have not changed, only some adjustments have been made in the formation, but this adjustment will also bring a lot of changes. After the game with the Chinese team, Wansheng has a new idea, and the focus is still on Morris.

Morris is already the player with the strongest individual ability in the team, regardless of technology, consciousness and many other aspects. He was at the top of the team, and the formation changed. Morrisra later became the core of the team's offense and defense, but it somewhat restricted his personal ability to play. In the warm-up games with Nottingham Forest and the Chinese team, Morris's lack of performance is proof.

If Morris was only in the ability of last season, it would be beneficial to the whole team, but now it is different. Morris's personal ability has improved a lot. Wansheng believes that he will not be better than Ronaldinho. How much worse, such a player can not play the advantage of personal ability, it is a great waste.

So Wansheng reconsidered the premise of Morris's position, but in this case, there must be a player to replace him. Unfortunately, there are no other players in the team who can shoulder the task of the core of offense and defense, so he can only think about the formation adjustment. .

The easiest way is to adjust the formation to 4231.

A player cannot play the role of the core of offense and defense, but if there are two defensive midfielders, one can attack and one receive, both defense and offense will be guaranteed, so there will be more choices, and Morris can also be the premise of the frontcourt. Absolute core.

The choice of the two midfielders is relatively easy, Joey Barton, David Silva, Ozil, Ivan Crewe, even Sun Jihai, Koppelle Ferreira, Dunn and others can do it.

Of course, the combination of one offense and one defense is still needed. Players such as David Silva, Ivan Crewe, and Ozil are offensive midfielders. Joey Barton's ability is relatively balanced, and the defenders can act as defenders. Defensive midfielder.

It will take a while to get used to playing 4231 well, but this frees Morris and allows him to play freely in the front, which will raise the team's offensive ability by a notch.

Relying on the tactical training effect of 'collaboration', in a few days, the training of the formation change has already had some effects.

Next is the warm-up match with Charlton.

Manchester City and Charlton are both Super League teams. Manchester City is the defending champion, and Charlton is not weak. They had good results last season and still have some strength, so this game is still worth looking forward to.

The game was held at Charlton's home court, and many media also came to do interviews. They mainly wanted to see Manchester City's preparations.

But the result of this game made many people even more disappointed with Manchester City.

1:2, Manchester City won the game, but the score was too mediocre, and it did not show the strength of Manchester City last season.

As a result, more people are not optimistic about Manchester City.

However, Wansheng is still very satisfied with the effect of the warm-up match. There are not many goals, but the reason is that the coordination in the backcourt is still a little messy, and frequent substitutions have also caused some problems with the players. There is too much control.

In the game, the most obvious thing to see is Morris's performance. He only played in the first half, but he made a pass and shot and became the best player in the game.

Regarding this point, Charlton's players are very aware of it. They were all worried about Morris' position in the first half, because Morris's performance was so good that it was difficult for them to grab the ball and defend it. And Morris also often came out threatening the ball, which made Charlton's goal in crisis throughout the first half.

Fortunately, Morris came off in the second half, and their defensive work was much easier to do.

It's just that the media doesn't care about the performance of individual players, and maybe some people will praise Morris. But Morris was originally a member of the England national team. Isn't it normal to perform well in a warm-up match? They look more at the whole, and the score of 2:1 also means that Manchester City's performance tends to be mediocre.

......

Wansheng doesn't care about the media's comments.

The games are followed by consecutive international break days, with a three-day holiday. He also gave himself three days off. After the match with Charlton, he threw the team to Diamares to lead the team back to Manchester, while he came to visit Anita at UCL.

Anita was very happy to see Wan Sheng, and the two hugged tightly.

This scene that happened on campus was photographed by many people, and soon the picture of Wan Sheng and Anita embracing was spread on the Internet. certainly. This is not a big news, the relationship between the two has been exposed, and there is no need to cover up.

What Anita said afterwards embarrassed Wan Sheng, "My brother wants to see you."

Does this count as parents? Wan Sheng smiled wryly.

Men are afraid of this, especially Anita is Murdoch's daughter, and Murdoch's son must be extraordinary. Wan Sheng feels a little scalp numb, but many times men can't say no. Especially in this kind of thing, this is also a kind of responsibility. So Wan Sheng nodded in agreement.

So the two of them drove to Kluber Avenue and found a beautifully decorated restaurant waiting for the so-called brother.

James?

This very popular name in England is really hard to impress Wan Sheng, but when he saw this James, Wan Sheng still felt weird... This is not the strange middle-aged man I saw at the Waddle house. ?

"Wan Sheng, do you still remember me?" Although he called Wan Sheng's name, James's tone was not very friendly.

Wan Sheng nodded and shook hands with James politely.

Afterwards, the three of them ate together. During this period, James kept asking about Wansheng's situation, such as his family situation, and also talked about his investment company, which may be very remarkable in the eyes of others, but James is Murdoch. His eldest son, an investment company with a total value of less than 100 million euros is nothing in front of the world news giants.

James then talked about Wansheng and Anita.

"I don't agree with you being together," James said directly, "but I Annie likes you very much, she told me so."

Wan Sheng looked at Anita, who blushed and lowered her head.

"Wan Sheng, you are very good. It is hard to imagine that you can make a name for yourself in Europe at this age. You are much better than most people!" James said, "But I still don't like you and Annie together. , do you know why?"

Wan Shengxu narrowed his eyes and listened.

"Because you coach Manchester City!" James said seriously, "I'm good friends with Waddell, he is the chairman of the Manchester City club, but I don't like Manchester City, I'm a Manchester United fan. I hate to see the news of Manchester City, even more hate it. See what good news for Manchester City!"

"I was disappointed last season and I don't want to be disappointed again this season."

"I won't affect your work because of my own preferences, but I don't want to see Manchester United lose the Manchester derby, so my condition is... Manchester City will lose the next two Manchester derbies. Give it to Manchester United, and I'll agree to Annie's relationship with you!"

James' words were sonorous and unquestionable, but Wan Sheng frowned tightly.

"What are you kidding!" Wan Sheng stood up and said angrily, "You are a Manchester United fan, so you want Manchester City to lose! But I am the manager of Manchester City, and I will definitely lead the team to beat Manchester United! Once, twice times, many times!"

"Take my coaching grades as a condition? Are you crazy!"

"Since you say that, just wait and watch Manchester United lose their wet pants!"

"Bastard! What did you say!"

"I said Manchester United will lose their pants, and you will too!"

"I'm Annie's brother!"

"What about brother! You bastard, you don't deserve to be Annie's brother, I don't know how bad luck Mr. Murdoch was when he was young, and you were born!"

"What did you say!?"

"What I'm talking about is you idiot! Shameless, scum! Inferior..."

"..."

Wan Sheng was annoyed and scolded James directly.

The breadth and depth of Chinese culture is reflected in this moment. James' face was flushed, and he could only listen to Wan Sheng's novel and insulting words blurted out, but he could only use a few 'jerk' and ' F' to refute.

When the two of them were about to start scolding, there were already a lot of people around, including well-informed reporters who came to take pictures. Anita hurriedly separated the two and dragged Wan Sheng away.

James looked at the back of the two leaving, and smashed the cup angrily. (To be continued ~^~)
