Chapter 251 The only Way

The whole game is over.

Wan Sheng took the initiative to find Bolton coach Allardyce to shake hands, and Allardyce had been waiting in place for a long time.

The two teams looked at each other and held hands.

Suddenly, Allardyce's face was full of pain.

The morale before the game had long since disappeared, and all that was left was helplessness. He never thought that the game would be played like this--0:5, a score that Bolton's entire team could not accept.

"I didn't expect to lose so badly!" Allardyce said with a wry smile, "I thought I had a chance, but your performance was too good. Your tactics are nothing new, but I see mine The difference between the team and you."

"Maurice, Anelka, David Beckham, I really don't know what to say. I wouldn't be surprised if you say you can definitely win the league, maybe even the European one, Your players...are amazing!"

Allardyce said with praise, this is how he really feels.

Before Allardyce, he never thought that the strength of Manchester City would be so strong. Manchester City has several outstanding players, such as Morris, Anelka, David Silva, and even the newly joined David. - Beckham, but these players are just ordinary stars in front of them. Beckham is also old. At 31 years old, he will definitely not be in the state of the former superstars. They are worse than real superstars.

Speaking of lineups, among the Premier League teams, the best lineups are Manchester United and Chelsea, and then Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and other teams. As for Manchester City, they are the defending champions, but they leave people behind. Under the impression, there is no 'strong lineup', they rely more on tactics and overall cooperation to win.

After this game, Allardyce has one thing clear - Manchester City's player ability. Absolutely the best in the world!

Take Lee Morris, who played outstandingly in this game, for example, his performance is definitely no worse than Barcelona's Ronaldinho and AC Milan's Kaka!

Nicola Anelka?

That's another Van Nistelrooy, not bad at all!

David Beckham? Who can say, the 31-year-old England 'former captain'. When did you find the 25-year-old state?

Allardyce was incomprehensible.

The only thing he can be sure of is. Many of Manchester City's players are very strong and very brave, but their ability has been underestimated by the outside world.

There are many more players that can be listed, such as Ivan Crewe, goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, and even teenagers Ozil and Boateng who played in the second half. These players belong to the 'middle-class' players in the top league, but their performances are quite good. For a star worth millions. So many top stars come together. And with outstanding form and tacit understanding, you can understand why Bolton lost 0:5!

This is not a tactical issue, it is entirely a gap in strength!

Wansheng is not surprised by Allardyce's statement. In fact, the core point of this game's style of play is to 'use players' abilities to crush'. If you have strength, you must exert your strength and completely crush weak teams , so as to ensure the maximum possible win.

The ancients said, "Take advantage of one's strengths and attack the other's weaknesses." This is the truth.

Manchester City is now capable of this!

According to the lineup. There is still a big gap between Manchester City and the top giants, such as Manchester United and AC Milan. After all, most of the team is composed of young players, but on the field, with the attributes and abilities of various coaching skills, Manchester City will never be much weaker.

Wan Sheng didn't answer anything, which was considered modest in front of the 'senior'. Instead, Allardyce continued to say, "Wan Sheng, are you not yet thirty years old?"

"Just turning thirty this summer."

Allardyce's face became even more bitter.

Allardyce is 53 years old this year. Looking back on his life, it can be considered a smooth journey. He joined Bolton at the age of 15. He was considered a young talent at the time, and then played for Bolton for 11 years.

After that, he went to various teams. After retiring at the age of 35, he started his coaching career. He started as an assistant coach at West Bromwich Albion. After ten years of tossing and tempering, he became Bolton's coach. At that time, Bolton Still a League One team (second tier), in his first year in charge, he led the team to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and League Cup, and successfully promoted to the Premier League by qualifying for the League One play-offs.

From taking over Bolton to the present, Allardyce's work performance has been quite good. Using the transfer funds approved by the club in a single season of no more than 7 million pounds, he led the team to stabilize the Premier League results, and last season and last season. , led the team into the top eight consecutively.

Compared with other team coaches who rely on burning money to maintain their business, Allardyce's achievements have surprised many media and fans.

Recalling his coaching journey, Allardyce feels a bit legendary, because he has hardly experienced any setbacks and has always been very successful, but... Compared with the young people in front of him, he is really nothing.

The opponent is less than 30 years old and has just officially coached the top league for more than two seasons. He has already won two Premier League titles, one UEFA Cup, two FA Cups, one League Cup, plus Ben. The league title that was almost within his grasp during the season was equal to his own consecutive Premier League titles. The key point is that he was not coaching a giant team - the upgraded Derby County, and the 'internal and external' Manchester City.

These are truly unimaginable results!

In contrast, Allardyce has a very helpless sense of frustration in his professional life.

There was a lot of media coverage of the game after the game.

There are two key points, one is Manchester City's big victory, 5:0, which is rare in the Premier League, especially Manchester City are still away, which makes the score even more surprising.

The other is Beckham's free kick. Since Beckham came to Manchester City, he has been the focus of the English media, but no one expected that Beckham would start in the first league game, and also He scored two goals and became the best player of the game. His first iconic free kick was also the best goal of the Premier League round.

Media coverage of the game revolves around two points.

"After the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Bolton 5:0 away. This is also Manchester City's eighth consecutive victory in the league!"

"Before the game, Manchester City coach Wan Sheng said that Bolton wanted to get a point was 'delusional', and he finally did it. 5:0, Bolton coach Allardyce didn't know how to face this 'human tragedy'. He is calm, there is a big gap in strength between Bolton and Manchester City!"

"In addition, in this game, David Beckham started on behalf of Manchester City and scored his first goal after coming to Manchester City, an iconic 'scimitar arc' free kick!"

With the words of the TV commentator, the picture also switched to slow motion of Beckham taking a free kick. This classic curve ball was quoted and broadcast by many sports TV stations. After it was posted on the Internet, there were dozens of million hits.

"In addition to this free kick, Beckham also used a low-angle lob shot in the second half to help Manchester City score another goal. In the end, Manchester City achieved a 5-goal victory away from home. Beckham also won the post-match award from the FA. 'Player of the Match' honor."

In addition to sports TV reports, other media reports are also very hot.

The media of Manchester City are very excited, because Manchester City has won eight consecutive victories, and Beckham, who joined in the winter, is also performing extremely well. Many people think that Manchester City's performance will decline after Christmas, but the game proves this statement. There is absolutely no basis for Manchester City's performance not only did not decline, but it was even better than the first half.

When the Manchester City media reported it, the praise was not stingy.

"England is about to usher in the era of Manchester City!"

This is the title of their report on the game, and the meaning is very obvious. The word 'era' will be used for a team to 'lead' the entire league. Manchester City won the league title last season, but a championship is far from being called. It is the era, if Manchester City can win the championship again this season, it is really 'close to the era'.

Analysis of the meaning of this title, that is to say, Manchester City is ready for the second league title!

Manchester City played well and Beckham played well, but after this round, the biggest focus is not Manchester City, but Chelsea.

In fact, in recent days, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has been the focus of the media, because there is news that he will leave Chelsea in the summer.

So far this news has been confirmed.

Mourinho has been the subject of media hype in England this week.

The Sunday Mirror was the first to reveal that Hiddink would replace Mourinho, while the latest online edition of The Sun featured Mourinho's contract picture on the front page, with the headline "He will replace Mourinho" leave".

Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in this round of the league was a big win that deserved attention, but the content of Mourinho's interview after the game had nothing to do with the game. Suggestion of aid 'was rejected by the club, 'Yes, it's the truth, I want some people but was told I can't get it. I don't have to tell you why, it's the club's reason. I don't have a choice, it's not mine The club, I'm just the head coach."

Mourinho is a little secretive, but it is not difficult to hear the overtones.

In fact, the club has a huge investment in the team, but he failed to win the championship for two consecutive seasons. In addition, the English media has been questioning and criticizing him, and he has been under enormous pressure for a long time.

Now the club is showing signs of not supporting him, and his situation can be imagined.

Perhaps this is thanks to Wansheng.

If he can win a championship trophy in the two seasons in charge, then the pressure will not be so great now, but no if, the club does not trust him if he fails to bring the championship, plus Abramovich himself It's a little bit of a crisis, and it's too hard for him to get support.

So now his only way is to leave. (To be continued ~^~)
