Chapter 253 The Price of Victory

"Competition machine?"

The description of Manchester City by the "Daily Mirror" has been quoted by many media reports.

Manchester City's results so far are too eye-catching and surprising. Manchester United and Chelsea have achieved quite good results, but they seem to have no hope of catching up with Manchester City. Whenever they win the next round, Manchester City also wins. A round, and every time they draw or lose a game, it means they have drawn a few more points with Manchester City. This kind of competition is even desperate.

"The gap that cannot be closed!"

"The Sun" used this term to describe the competition for the top of the league table. Manchester United have won all the leagues recently, but they still have a 4 points gap with Manchester City with one more game, so even if they are winning a league game After that, there is nothing to be happy about, because Manchester City also won.

What is even more surprising to the media is that in the recent matches between Manchester City and small clubs, they always win by a big score, 4:0, 5:0, or even 8:0. This kind of big score seems to be a different level of football. The team is playing, and there is no 'hope' for Manchester City to draw or lose.

This is what makes Manchester City's rivals feel helpless and desperate the most.

Therefore, the public believes that it is not an exaggeration to describe Manchester City as a "game machine". In the few league games after Christmas, Manchester City is really unstoppable.

Wan Sheng also learned of similar remarks, he just smiled silently and didn't say much.

Race machine?

To describe it this way, it is actually quite appropriate. The strength of Manchester City's entire team is not bad. Coupled with the advantage of skilled control of tactical play, even if the game is played normally, the team will be a strong contender for the league title.

The football training master system brings more than just the ability bonus of various coaching skills to the team. More importantly, keeping the players in the team in a stable physical state will ensure that each player has a relatively good state as much as possible. In fact, this is also the biggest advantage of Manchester City's ability to continue to win.

Also, for Wansheng. The way to win is not only in terms of tactics and players. After the coach's level was upgraded, he also acquired active bonus skills for the players. The use of these skills can also improve the performance of the players, which will affect the final outcome of the game.

Coach Max's perfect skill, the defensive skill "Strong Barrier" has been used many times.

Its active activation function can improve the goalkeeper's reaction speed by 100%, which can help the goalkeeper to play well at critical moments. This is a winning skill.

also. There is also a skill that has never been used, and that was the reward of the "honor mission" at the beginning of last season.

At the beginning of last season, one of Wansheng's tasks was a 'personal honor task', and the task requirement was "players union system, the number of elder members reached 15". After the end of last season, Wansheng did not complete this task. At that time, there were only 14 elder-level members.

Originally, he thought he could not get the reward. But by this season, the mission didn't go away. It continues to exist, but after David Silva's reverence value exceeded 100 and he was promoted to an elder member of the players' union, the mission was not completed. The number of elder members showed that it was still '14', while waiting for Darren. -Bent is also promoted to an elder-level member, and the task is displayed as completed.

Wan Sheng thought about it and knew the reason.

It turns out that the number of elder-level members of the players' union is counted by himself. His reverence for himself is the full value of 200. He is a president-level member and can enjoy the union player ability bonus. This is a small amount. BUG, the key is to allow him to enjoy the player's 'treatment', but the mission system does not necessarily recognize this, so when calculating the number of elder members, he will not be counted.

Therefore, after Darren Bent was promoted to an elder-level member, this "personal honor mission" was truly completed, and he also received the mission reward accordingly.

In addition to the reward of experience, the more important thing is of course the reward of 'training specialization talent'.

"Training Specialization Talent: Designate a player and force him to reach the peak of his career in the next 12 hours. (Cooldown: three months)"

This skill works quite well.

To let a player reach the peak of a professional player is to say that the player can explode in the next game. If this is used on those big stars, it can almost decide the outcome of a game.

The rare active use effect can also become Wansheng's trump card.

The only downside is... the cooldown is too long, and the effect can only be used once in three months. Wan Sheng knew at a glance that this skill must be used in major competitions.

For example, in the Champions League final, it is naturally the best game where players break out, but it is a pity to use it in ordinary league and cup games.

So Wansheng has never used it after getting it.

But it can also be the team's trump card.

With these trump card skills actively used, Wansheng has also increased his confidence in winning the league championship and the Champions League. Next, he planned the schedule for the team to determine the ownership of the league championship in March and April.

"We don't have that much focus on the league!"

"Right now we have a four-point advantage over Manchester United, with one game less adding up to a maximum of seven points, which doesn't guarantee us the final league title, so in the next three months, up to April, I hope we can determine the title of the league and then we can focus on the FA Cup and the Champions League!"

"This season, a league title, I'm not satisfied, I believe you will not be satisfied either?"

"So, we have to fight for other championships, but the next focus is on the league. I believe we can do it. Do you have confidence?"

All Manchester City players expressed their confidence.

————

On February 11, in the 27th round of the league, Manchester City challenged Portsmouth away.

Manchester City did their best and finally defeated Portsmouth 2:0 away, and successfully scored three points again. At the same time, Manchester City's winning streak reached 11 games.

Winning is a good thing, but after the game Wansheng had a bit of a headache because Tangning was injured for the price the team paid for the victory. Tangning's injury was so serious that she even needed two minor operations. The doctor said that it would take at least two months for Tangning to recover and return to the training ground.

Two months is really a long time.

Returning to the training ground in two months, according to the normal recovery situation, that means Tangning will miss at least three months of games. It is now mid-February. So, even with the help of the football training master, Tangning will at least be able to return to the training ground. He will miss all games in March and April, and at most he will participate in the few games that end in May.

This has a huge impact on the team.

In the frontcourt, although Tangning is not so critical, his left wing has always been very stable and can provide a lot of support to the striker. In addition, the team has always been short of people on the left wing. Now that Tangning is injured, it can only be Sinclair or a veteran. Reina is on top, it's really not good, and only Ivan Kru or David Silva can make a cameo appearance. This kind of supplement is a bit of a demolition, but there is no way to encounter this kind of problem.

Wansheng has already felt the wave of injuries coming to the team.

In fact, league rivals Chelsea have long suffered from injury problems, which has also become the trigger for the conflict between coach Mourinho and the club. After a round of injuries, several generals including central defender Terry Neither of them could represent the team, and the Portuguese had no one available, which naturally affected Chelsea's overall performance.

In terms of Manchester City, due to the task system of the football training master, which can help players recover their physical fitness and state, Manchester City has never had many injuries. Except for the previous injuries of Dunn, Darren Bent and others, other players are in good physical condition. But injuries do not come without physical condition. There are always accidents on the field.

Many teams in the league now have a tough defense in the face of Manchester City, and the team is more prone to injury problems.

However, it is useless to have a headache in this situation, and Wansheng has no way to heal the injured player all at once.

The only thing he can do is to lead the team forward.

On February 21st, the UEFA Champions League round of 16 is coming, all Manchester City players flew to the Netherlands to participate in the first round of the match against PSV Eindhoven.

The second day of the game came, and Manchester City's overall performance at the Philips Stadium was not bad.

Eindhoven launched an offensive against Manchester City under the shouts of the home team players and actively competed for the control of the midfield, but obviously they did not study the way to play against Manchester City completely, and they were not a strong Premier League team. Therefore, the pressure of Manchester City in the game is not great, and the cooperation is also frequently played.

In the end, Manchester City scored in the second half and won the game 2:0.

The only thing worth mentioning in this game is that PSV Eindhoven has a Chinese player coming off the bench, his name is Sun Xiang, the Chinese media is very concerned about this, Wansheng also feels very interesting to see Sun Xiang play, plus the ball The team's goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei and Sun Jihai, who came off the bench, were equal to three Chinese players on the field.

It makes sense that the midfield media cares so much about the game.

Sun Xiang's performance is not bad, at least he can be called a qualified player, but it is a pity that Eindhoven was suppressed by Manchester City.

In an interview after the game, Wan Sheng was also asked about Sun Xiang. He said, "He is a Chinese player with great potential. I believe he can do better in the future."

Then, it's over.

The Chinese media were somewhat dissatisfied with this, because Wan Sheng said too little.

In fact, they hope that Wansheng can also introduce Sun Xiang to Manchester City. Going to Manchester City to participate in the Premier League is better than staying in the Eredivisie where no one pays attention, but Wansheng has no interest in this at all. He is just an ordinary player and has nothing to do with him. In addition, Manchester City has a limited number of non-EU players, so it is impossible for him to introduce so many non-EU players.
