Chapter 222 The Hospitality of the Real Madrid President!

The match against Aston Villa is the last game of November. In the media discussion about the battle for the top spot in the Premier League, the time quickly entered December, and the 16th round of the Premier League followed.

Manchester City host Watford in this round.

Watford Football Club, nicknamed "Hornet", has not much to boast about in the long history of the club. This team is also considered to be a team in the London area. Tford's record is shabby, and a lot of low-level championships are a bit too much to describe with "gold content".

This season is the second time Watford has rushed into the Premier League. In 1999, Watford played in the play-offs to become the lucky "third team" and advanced, but the two managers at the time, Colin Lee and Perryman, did not The ability to lead a top-level team, the team was finally relegated to 24 points tragically.

Facts have proved that if there is no effective overall strategy, the weak team can only be cleaned up.

Watford's performance this season is also very dismal. So far, they have only won two games and ranked last in the league. Against such a team, Manchester City won 5-0 at home without any suspense. Contest.

In order to deal with the next derby with Manchester United, Wansheng chose to rotate in the game.

The main players of the team have too many games to play, and they still need to rest more to recover, but Anelka still played, and Wansheng plans to send Darren Bent to him in the Manchester derby. More chances to fight, and Anelka broke out in the game.

In just the fifth minute, Anelka used a long shot from outside the penalty area to break Watford's goal.

This goal is fantastic!

After he received the pass from Ozil, he did not do anything directly and made a big effort. howling.

"World wave!" Berbat shouted.

The goal opened the door to victory for Manchester City, who then kept their full hold on Watford. And look for an opportunity to break the goal.

Anelka, Lescott, Ivan Crewe, and then Anelka. .

Anelka scored three goals and completed a hat-trick, his second in the league this season, the last in the tenth round of the league. Manchester City at home to Middlesbrough. Anelka has scored all the goals, and now it's another hat-trick. In these two games alone, Anelka has scored more goals than many strikers, plus goals in other games, it's like Bale Bart said, "French striker in 16 rounds. Scored 13 goals for Manchester City. This kind of efficiency is scary!"

"The French striker is at the peak of his career, and this season has ushered in a full-scale explosion. I think there may be no controversy about the top scorer in the Premier League this season, whether it is Arsenal's Henry, Chelsea's Drogba or Blackburn's McCarthy, They both score far fewer goals than Anelka."

After the game, everyone was discussing Anelka's hat-trick, and they were amazed at Anelka's state.

Anelka himself was also very happy, scoring three goals in the game. Enough to prove his strength and state. But he was still a little dissatisfied, because this game started. It also means that the opportunity for the next Manchester derby will be left to rival Darren Bent. He feels that he is in very good shape and should have the opportunity to start in the competition.

At the same time, he also thought that the head coach Wan Sheng saw his state, maybe he changed his mind?

So in the dressing room after the game, he frequently looked at Wansheng, trying to get something from Wansheng's words, but Wansheng just praised Anelka and didn't say anything more about the next game.

In fact, Wansheng's plans have indeed changed somewhat.

Originally he thought of giving Darren Bent a chance to start the game against Manchester United, but seeing Anelka's state, he was a little shaken. Anelka's state is too good, with him It won't be a problem for him to keep playing for another game with his physical fitness. Although Darren Bent is in good shape, Anelka has just scored a hat-trick after all?

Choosing between the two is a tough question.

As the Guardian said after the game, "Wan Sheng is troubled by happiness because his team has two players in the front line who are in very good shape, and even said that if they were rotated, they would both have the ability. Competing for the top scorer in the Premier League. In the next round against Manchester United, who will start the game has become a headache.”

Even those Premier League commentators and data analysts have no answer.

Anelka and Darren Bent are both in very good form, but Anelka scored a hat-trick to prove his state. If nothing else, he should be made to start. Darren Bent's state is definitely not bad. , So far, he has also helped Manchester City score seven goals in the league, which seems nothing compared to Anelka's 13 goals, but you must know that Darren Bent is at least half less than Anelka's In this way, Darren Bent's efficiency is terrifying.

So who will Wansheng start?

"Let's wait and see!" British BBC Sports Broadcasting gave such a conclusion.

This is the same as not saying it, but it also proves the difficulty of choosing. Wansheng has always been very decisive, but on this issue, he really didn't come up with a result.

. .

City have one more game to play ahead of their Derby County clash with Manchester United, the final Champions League group stage game against Bayern Munich.

This powerful battle should have attracted much attention, but it turned out that Manchester City had established the first place in the group early, and the game became a tasteless match for Manchester City. Naturally, the English media did not pay much attention to the game.

The German media still attaches great importance to the game. Previously, Bayern Munich lost to Real Madrid on the road and Manchester City at home. So far, there are only 9 points, while Real Madrid has 7 points. In the last round, Real Madrid and Sofia Levski is almost certain to win the game, then Real Madrid will have 10 points, and Bayern Munich must get at least ten points if they want to qualify. Even if Bayern Munich draws with Manchester City, they cannot guarantee Appears, because the relationship between the two sides is the same, according to the UEFA Champions League group stage qualifying rules, the same points must be compared to the victory and defeat, and the same victory and defeat relationship must be compared to the goal difference, and Bayern Munich is only more than Real Madrid. A goal difference, if Real Madrid beat Sofia Lewski in the final round, Bayern Munich almost must beat Manchester City to qualify.

So this game is very important for Bayern Munich, they almost must beat Manchester City to qualify.

The Germans never imagined the current situation. There are three teams in Germany entering the UEFA Champions League this season. The Germans also expect all three teams to enter the Champions League round of 16, but now Hamburg has been determined to be eliminated. Lemei's hope of qualifying is only in theory, and Bayern Munich, the most promising, also needs to experience a victory in the war before they can advance.

The English media quoted a saying during World War II, gloating, "The German army is about to be wiped out."

What few people know is that two days before the arrival of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid Club President Calderon made a special call to find Manchester City Club President Wadder, especially expressing the friendly relationship between Real Madrid and Manchester City, and also promised On the loan issue of David Beckham, he will personally talk to David Beckham about the benefits of returning to England to play football. In addition to this meaningless promise, Calderon also specifically stated that he will transfer in the winter in January. During this period, some players who are not needed by the team will be 'excluded' and Manchester City will be asked if they are interested in these players.

Naturally, Calderon will not be all right to court Manchester City. He hopes that Manchester City will do its best in the game against Bayern Munich. As long as Manchester City can beat or draw with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid has a great chance of qualifying.

For Real Madrid, entering the Champions League round of 16 is not only a matter of the club's income, but also the face of the club. If the 'Galaxy Battleship' can't even enter the Champions League round of 16, what is it called a 'Battleship'?

Let's just call it a 'rotten boat'!

In addition, this is also related to the stability of the chairmanship of Calderon. He just took office and let Real Madrid break the wings of the Champions League group stage. It is not as good as his competitor Florentino. Naturally, Real Madrid fans will not support him. .

Wadel conveyed Calderon's message to Wansheng, who was immediately moved.

At present, the depth of the team's bench is a serious problem. The performance can be maintained and it has not declined. The more important reason is the football training master system. The system can help players maintain a good physical condition, but it is not without injuries, especially at Christmas. In the next January, the probability of injury will greatly increase, and the physical condition of the players will also decline a lot. At that time, the depth of the bench will be extremely important.

What the team needs to supplement most is the midfield position, but the defense is actually very tight, especially the right back position. The real right back is only Lescott, but Wan Sheng believes that Lescott is very capable. You should gradually adapt to the middle, and you will perform better as a central defender. In addition to Lescott, there are also Sun Jihai, Ricardo Coster and Boateng who can play as right backs. The first two are all-rounders. Barely made up for the shortcomings of the bench. Boateng has a strong fighting ability and is more suitable for playing as a defensive midfielder. Apart from the above players, there is only one Reto Ziegler on the left. Sun Jihai and Ricardo Coster also Take care of the left.

Therefore, it is imminent to add a strong regular full-back.

At present, in Real Madrid's squad, powerful defenders, such as Roberto Carlos, Cicinho, etc. will definitely not be sold, so the only available defenders are those substitutes, such as Salgado, Messia and others, Wansheng quickly made a decision - to buy Salgado! (To be continued ~^~)
