Chapter 177 Challenge Mission

The next day, the team was on vacation.

Because it is in a period of intense competition, this holiday is not easy to come by. Wansheng urged players to take advantage of the holiday to rest properly and not to do too exciting and intense activities, which is very important.

In fact, Wansheng gave the players a day off, not like what the media said, "winners win the championship, players should be rewarded with rest and relaxation", but after continuous high-intensity games, the team's overall mental state All have been affected to some extent, which is hard to see on the surface, but the football training master system, the mental attributes of each player, including the state and other aspects, have a certain decline, the decline is not large, but each player If they all drop a little, it will definitely affect the performance of the entire team.

The next game is to face Arsenal. Instead of letting the whole team train together for a day in tension, it is better to give them a proper time to relax and rest.

On the following day, Wansheng did not ask the team to prepare anything for the game against Arsenal, but asked those players who were too mentally stressed to talk to Ms. Dina McGovern alone.

Since she came to work at Manchester City, Ms. Dina McGovern has been doing well. She has received more salary than before, but her work ability is worthy of recognition. Wansheng used the data of the football training master system, She can clearly know the effect of her work. She has successfully relieved those players who are under great mental pressure, and can also relieve the pressure of new players on the team or playing on behalf of the team. These two aspects alone Suffice it to say that her work has resulted in the fact that Wansheng even helped Ms. Dina McGovern apply to the club for a raise.

"Her ability to work is very strong, she is already an indispensable member of the club, we must keep her!" Wansheng's reason is this.

He approached this matter with a rational working attitude, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

Bee Knicks agreed to Wan Sheng's request for a raise for Dina McGovern, but after seeing his eyes a little weird, Wan Sheng felt that it was a bit malicious. When Ms. Dina McGovern, who was the client, saw him again, her attitude changed completely, her eyes were still evasive, and Wansheng even saw her face a little red.

How is this going?

Wan Sheng didn't turn the corner a bit, but a question from Pierce 'reminds' him, "Wan Sheng. Aren't you dating the Murdochs' youngest daughter?"

"But do you still like someone older than you? Dina is pretty, too. But with Murdoch..."

"roll!"

Wan Sheng finally understood.

He has always wondered why everyone's eyes are weird, and Dina McGovern even looked at him with "strange"? It was so!

When you think about it, it's really easy to misunderstand.

After all, Dina McGovern came to work at the club not long ago, and what the results of her work are, that is, he can clearly know by himself, even Ms. Dina McGovern himself does not know the specific effect. Then it's a little weird to help her apply for a raise yourself. No wonder everyone else thinks so.

Wan Sheng felt that he had made an oolong incident, and it felt strange to talk to Dina McGovern afterwards. He had to admit that he needed to hide from this woman. The point is, since this incident, this woman has I paid special attention to him, and seemed to really like him. Expressed so directly.

The crux of the matter is here.

If I was single before, it didn't matter what happened to such a beautiful and charming lady. But now that he has Anita, he needs to distance himself from other women.

Then Wan Sheng can only be Liu Xia Hui... gentlemen stay away...

But in his heart, Wan Sheng is actually a little happy. After all, some people like him. Men are different from women in this respect. Even if they look good, it is difficult for a few women to really like them, so some people like them. Really a sense of achievement.

But this can only be regarded as an adjustment in his spare time, and Wan Sheng still knows what to do.

The day after, the third round of the Premier League came, Manchester City vs. Arsenal.

Arsenal's situation is still a little chaotic recently. The source is still in the summer transfer. Ashley Cole's transfer is non-stop, which makes Arsenal unable to cope with the league at all.

Arsenal did not have Ashley Cole in the last round, which seems to be as some people expected, Wenger will not let his "commodity" depreciate, in fact, Wenger himself said: "Turn It may not be gone.”

Obviously, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger once again showed his attitude that he will not force a player who is unwilling to play for the club. A - Cole defecting to Chelsea is something that may happen at any time.

But does that mean a transfer is imminent? not necessarily.

While the initial price disagreement is no longer an insurmountable obstacle, Arsenal's current situation has made Wenger realize he can't just let Ashley Cole go.

On the one hand, the team's schedule is very close, and the league follows the Champions League qualifiers. Wenger has publicly expressed his concerns about the team's fitness. On the other hand, finding a replacement for Cole right away is quite difficult. Although the team already has great potential in Clichy, he is still too young and is currently injured and unable to play. The same young Flamini and Hoyt can both play left-backs, but their experience and ability are not up to the level of world-class left-backs.

It is for this reason that Wenger has made public his interest in Chelsea player William Gallas in front of the media, making the "swap" between William Gallas and Cole possible. But at the same time, the Arsenal coach also claimed that he has not contacted Gallas, and Gallas received a high salary at Chelsea. Arsenal's "wage cap" policy will not be changed because of Gallas.

This in turn means that the transaction will be very difficult.

In fact, William Gallas is not in a good situation at Chelsea. The salary is one of the reasons why he fell out with Chelsea. It is said that Gallas once asked the club to give him a salary increase of 90,000 pounds per week. The result was rejected, and the contract Arsenal had prepared for Ashley Cole was only a weekly salary of 60,000 pounds, and Gallas' requirements were naturally unsatisfactory.

However, Arsenal also has a little advantage, that is, Wenger can give Gallas an absolute starting position. After falling out with the club, the French defender was entered into the reserve team. And was also told by Chelsea director Buck that "transfers can only go to teams outside Europe."

And now that Arsenal have the capital to let Chelsea let go, as long as Gallas doesn't want to waste a year in the reserve team, he may still put money in second place.

At present, Arsenal has offered Chelsea £5 million, and Chelsea, who is 'cunning', intends to exchange directly. Of course, Galla isn't Arsenal's only option. West Bromwich Albion's C-Davis has been the object of Arsenal's investigation. And there have been media reports recently. Arsenal are approaching Serie A AC Milan. Interested in buying the team's left-back Kaladze.

In the face of such a chaotic situation in the transfer, even Wenger could not let the team concentrate on preparing for the league, so this away game against Manchester City, what state Arsenal will be in can be imagined.

Although Arsenal played well in the whole game, they still could not pose too much threat to Manchester City at the Manchester Stadium, and Manchester City did not perform too prominently in the whole game, but 'stability' became the key to victory. In the end, it relied on the goals of Morris and David Silva in the first half. Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 at home to secure a three-game winning streak in August.

At this point, the Premier League in August ended, and the competition between Manchester City and Manchester United on the points list was officially presented to the media and fans.

......

At the end of the three rounds, Manchester United ranked first in the league by scoring 10 goals and conceding 2 goals in a three-game winning streak. Manchester City also won three-game winning streak, but only scored 7 goals. conceded 1 goal, the goal difference is two less than Manchester United. After two teams. The rankings are chaotic, with some well-performing underdogs also in the front, such as Chelsea, which can only rank 6th because of their loss to Manchester City.

At the end of this round, Manchester United and Manchester City became the focus.

In terms of Manchester United, Ferguson was not satisfied with his team's performance after the match with Watford. In his eyes, the Red Devils struggled to win this vigorous Hornet is not worth it, or he does not appreciate the team. The way to win, Manchester United's winning goal was made by Ryan Giggs using the opponent's mistakes to counterattack.

In an interview with Manchester United's official TV, the old Sir said: "I think the opponent is suitable for us to play, but we are still looking for better performance. In terms of counterattacks, we need to do better in controlling the ball. In fact, we are also good at it. This, but I also need some players today who can keep the ball under their feet and pass it out beautifully, but I don't see anyone who can do that."

Watford played a long pass in this game, which caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United. The old man did not think this was the main factor for the team's poor performance. Different types of games, the rhythm is more difficult to master, but we can play better anyway."

Despite being unhappy with the way the victory went, Ferguson was proud of the fighting spirit his players showed, "The score was perfect and, importantly, I could feel in the dressing room that they were going to take points today. Fight, they're sober. They've fought and they've won, and they wake up in the morning thinking: We've conquered this place, we've shown courage, and we should be rewarded with victory for that."

Manchester United had one more injured player in this game. Central defender Ferdinand injured his toe in the final stage of the game. Ferguson said he would miss England's upcoming European Championship qualifying. "He hurt his toe, I don't think he can represent England. Game. We're going to have an X-ray tomorrow morning, but it looks broken."

This may be the reason for Ferguson's anger.

Watford boss Bosroyd revealed after the game that Ferguson told him during the game: "Go away, get out of my way!"

This happened when Ferguson came forward to question the fourth official after the game.

However, Bosroyd said there was no hostility between the two sides, it was just uncontrollable emotions caught in the game, he said, "We will have a drink together after the game because we are not happy, but I promise Sir Alex A little bit happier than me because he came home with at least three points."

Despite this, Ferguson's 'temper' still made many people dissatisfied with him, just like he said after the game about the competition with Manchester City, "They? For more than ten years, the only thing they can compete with us is the last one. Season, now, they won't be our opponents!"

That kind of contempt...it's really red fruit!

Facing this kind of contempt, Wan Sheng just laughed it off, he knew that the old man Ferguson did this on purpose, to provoke him? Ha ha.

So Wan Sheng also showed no mercy. "Manchester United? Since last season, they are no longer our opponents!"

"He's old! How can he lead Manchester United to success with his old stuff? I suggest he should retire early so he can leave with honor. Otherwise, all he's left is resentment and regret... "

Then Wansheng definitely talked about the season goals. "Our goal is the league title. I've said it more than once! The Champions League? That's what we need to fight for, but the league is what it is!"

There are many media reports on Wansheng's remarks.

Although the media speculated that Manchester City's goal would be the league title, that's just speculation. It's different from the facts. Many people think that Manchester City is unlikely to compete for the league title because they were the champion last season and will fight for it again this season. That's two championships in a row. Difficulty is not ordinary.

It is not the first time that Wan Sheng said his goal so directly, but after beating Chelsea, Arsenal and winning the Community Shield, his tone was very powerful!

It's not a joke, it's true!

He really wants to fight for the league title!

The first reaction of many people when they hear this is that it is unlikely. This is not the era of Manchester United in the 1990s, in the current era. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and even Newcastle United, Totham Hotspur, etc. are strong teams. Coupled with the upstart Manchester City, the Premier League can really be said to be a 'seven rivals'. Under such an environment, if you want to win consecutive championships, you will know how difficult it is to think about it.

The more direct reason is that Manchester City is going to participate in the Champions League this season!

It is impossible for them to give up the Champions League, and Manchester City will never give up. At the club level, the biggest significance of the Champions League is not at the competitive level, but at the economic level. Participating in the Champions League group stage is all about money, and every extra game is also worthwhile. is money.

Although Manchester City won the Premier League title last season, in fact, they still have a lot of debt. In this case, will they allow Wansheng to give up the Champions League?

But if they don't give up the Champions League, they can't concentrate on the league. What can they do to defend the title?

Many people are talking about this. They do not believe that Manchester City can defend the title because it is too difficult. Last season, Wan Sheng led Manchester City to the Premier League for the first time. Other teams did not pay attention to them, so they There is a chance, but now all teams will study them and carefully analyze the way to deal with Manchester City, so it is not easy to get good achievements, all players will try their best to cause big trouble for Manchester City, even if they beat Chelsea and Arsenal, It cannot be proved that there is a chance to defend the title, and everyone still thinks that Manchester United has a better chance.

......

In these voices, Wansheng has called the players together.

Everyone is very relaxed, because tomorrow will be the 'international game day' holiday. Those members of the national team have to go to the national team training or competition in two days. The training of other players will also be very relaxed, they will There are two extra days off.

This is good news for everyone.

They thought that Wansheng called everyone to talk about the holiday, but they didn't expect Wansheng to talk about the goal, "I have said it many times in the media, but for you, this is the first time."

"I haven't said exactly what the goal of this season is since we gathered for training in July. I think many of you must be puzzled, but some of you know me." Wan Sheng pointed to himself, " I, no matter which team I coach, no matter where I am, there will only be one goal, and that is the championship!"

His face was full of confidence.

These words also made the players spirits and blood boil.

"When it comes to championships, I never joke. Last season, we won the league and, of course, the League Cup, which is a nice honour, but there are not too many titles. Some of you are new to the team. , like Mesut."

Wan Sheng pointed out Ozil's name, and everyone looked at Ozil. The German guy was not used to being the center of the scene. He bowed his head a little shyly, which attracted many people to laugh.

"Some of you don't know me, and some of you know me well, but I want to say now, I lead the team, no matter when, there is only one goal - the championship!"

"Last season was the league title, we achieved our goal, and now it's the new season. We won three consecutive victories, we are still the defending champions? Who dares to say that we are not qualified to win the championship! So the league title is what we must strive for! There is a lot of news from the outside world. It is said that we can't balance the league and the Champions League. Yes, some of their analysis is very reasonable. But the championship is always won. In 2005, Liverpool were able to beat AC Milan to win the championship. It was a miracle, for us It doesn't take a miracle like that to win a championship, so they can do it, and we can definitely do it. It just takes effort..."

"So. I'm asking you now, do you want more championships! Answer me!"

The loud roar lifted the spirits of each player, and they immediately shouted, "Think!" The rare and tidy voice made people even more aware of the high morale of the team.

Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

"I believe in you. So now I want to say that the Champions League is also what we want to fight for. I hope to lead the team further, preferably to the stage of winning the championship, I think many of you can't wait to think about it. I'm going to play the Champions League. So do I. But I want to remind you that the league is the foundation. I don't want to see someone who plays in the Champions League and is mediocre, so no matter who you are, I will put you on the bench. , even on the big list, understand? I always say what I say!"

"Many people in the outside world are saying that it is difficult for us to successfully defend the title, but miracles are created by people, not to mention, we have the strength to fight for it."

"What I want to tell you is that no matter who it is, the league must play well, that's the foundation! As long as you perform well in the league, I promise to give you a chance to play in the Champions League, understand? This season, our pressure is higher than Last season was bigger, so do your best, as long as you work hard, each of you will have a chance!"

......

Wansheng wants to remind everyone to pay attention to the league.

Because the team won the league championship last season, many people will have little fighting spirit in the league. Similar problems have occurred in the first three rounds. He can see it with the mental attribute state of the football training master system, so he must do a special reminder.

Wan Sheng also spoke from his heart, his focus this season is the league.

The Champions League is very important, but there is no certainty that he can get the Champions League. Even if he has a football training master system, the Champions League knockout is two games to decide the outcome. In the final, there is only one decision, facing AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and other European giants, no one can guarantee victory.

He has confidence and can only do his best to fight for it, so the league is the foundation.

In addition, for this season, the football training master system also has a new type of task-challenge task, which is a rare new type of task, and Wansheng is also looking forward to the reward--

"The challenge: defending the league title.

Last season, Manchester City won the Premier League title. As the defending champion this season, it will be a difficult challenge to successfully lead the team to defend the title. You, as the head coach of the team, should lead the team to strive for a successful title defense.

Mission content: Lead Manchester City to the league title.

Mission reward: experience 3000 points.

Special Rewards: Strengthen the high-level skills of the 'Specialization Skill Tree' to MAX Perfect Skills, three skill upgrade points. "

In this challenge mission, the mission requirement is to lead the team to win the league championship. The mission reward is the most important thing for Wansheng. "Enhancing the 'specialized skill tree' high-level skills to MAX perfect skills" means that it can strengthen the existing 'ability' shared' or 'potential development' skills.

'Strengthening' is naturally to improve the effect of skills, and the effect of 'ability sharing' or 'potential development' is very good, and the effect of further improvement is really attractive.

In addition, the Champions League is very difficult to win, so Wansheng has made up his mind that this season will still be based on the league.

When it comes to choosing between the league and the Champions League, the league is more important than the Champions League.

But this does not mean that the team has to give up the Champions League. After all, the Champions League is a knockout stage, while the league is a 38-round match in a season. In fact, the two are not in conflict. In the first place, the Champions League is also to strive for.

The tasks of the football training master system in the new season also include the task of the Champions League, which is in the task of personal honor.

The personal honor mission released the honorary reward for winning the Champions League. The content of the reward is roughly the championship points, which must have new honor skill bonuses. If they can win the Champions League, Wansheng's coaching skills will definitely improve a lot.

Wansheng is still looking forward to this.

In short, in the new season, Manchester City's goal is that the league must be fought for, and the Champions League must be fought for! (To be continued ~^~)
