Chapter 277 I Think About It. Let's Go!

Seeing Claude's appearance, you may be able to imagine that one day he will be a good actor when he enters Hollywood. That look of tears and rain really makes people feel very real.

Even though some media knew a little about Claude's face, they were still moved by these words.

So the media began to analyze the importance of Anelka to Manchester City, and then criticized Wansheng for selling Anelka.

The "Daily Mirror" took the lead and criticized Wansheng's approach, "This Chinese, as always, wants to sell important players in the team, just like Cahill once, like the former Manchester City captain Distin, now It's Anelka's turn. Maybe Cahill and Distin didn't want to leave, but he chose to abandon the team to win the championship!"

"No matter what his team performance is, he is a ruthless person!"

"When the Manchester City players put their absolute trust in him, they don't know that maybe they are already on his 'sell' list."

The last sentence is to sow discord.

The "Daily Mirror" said something 'excessive', but other media also followed the trend and said a few words, all of which expressed sympathy and support for Anelka, and even the "Guardian" that supported Manchester City also said One sentence, "Perhaps keeping Anelka is the best choice. Manchester City is already very strong now, and we don't need to take risks to adjust the lineup."

Although the report did not experience the Wansheng name, everyone knew that the Guardian was referring to Manchester City and Wansheng.

However, Wansheng ignored these reports at all. It was not the first time that he faced criticism from the media. Compared with the completely questioned remarks before, these are really insignificant.

After Manchester City defended the league title, the media's criticism was very conservative, it was the same as tickling him...no feeling at all.

In response to what Claude said, Wan Sheng only said one sentence. "I don't know if Anelka himself really wants to stay, but I'm pretty sure that no one is indispensable in my team!"

"He (Anelka) scores a lot and is a great goalscorer. But my team never lacks goals!"

Wan Sheng said so. Did the same.

In the final round of the league, in the away game against Tottenham Hotspur, Anelka did not even enter the squad. He could only stay in Manchester and watch his teammates embark on the journey.

This game is getting a lot of attention.

The last round of the league, the last game, for Manchester City. Just don't lose to Tottenham. In addition, the media reports before the game also endow the game with a special meaning, that is--

How would Manchester City fare without Anelka?

Are Manchester City really not short of goals?

Although he didn't say much before the game, Wansheng has already shown his attitude by excluding Anelka from the squad.

Many media criticized Wansheng's stubborn approach. "He shouldn't have done it impulsive."

Of course, these remarks cannot affect Wansheng at all. Even in the opening game, after Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal, Wansheng was indifferent at all.

"Tottenham scored a goal in the opening three minutes. Manchester City are in danger. In their own home, Tottenham are very active. Their players are very proactive, aggressive and aggressive in the game!"

"Looks like this game is a little dangerous for Manchester City."

On the media table, the hostile media reporters from Manchester City were all gloating, "Look at that Chinese, he didn't send Anelka, now he has learned a lesson!"

"I'm sure that Manchester City's unbeaten run will end here!"

"It's really funny, undefeated in 37 rounds, what a great result, hahaha...great..."

The camera lens also pointed at the Manchester City coaching bench, and I saw Wan Sheng sitting with no expression on his face.

"I don't know what he's thinking, maybe he has Anelka in his head? Now only Anelka's goals can help Manchester City."

The media reporters and commentators have been discussing, but their 'bashing' against Wan Sheng did not last long, because after 13 minutes, Manchester City equalized the score and the goal came from Morris.

Manchester City used a dazzling series of passes and moves to open the Tottenham Hotspur defense, and then Morris received a pass from Ivan Crewe, deftly swayed the defending central defender, and swept away. The foot kicks the ball to the left corner of the goal.

"Morris! Great shot! Shot--"

"Goal scored! Goal scored! Manchester City equalised! Goooooooooooooooal!!!!!!"

As the commentator shouted, all the Manchester City fans cheered. They were still worrying about the team's goal just now, but they didn't expect Morris to score one so quickly.

Although it was just an equalizing goal, this Manchester City draw is a victory, all they need is an unbeaten run, so Manchester City fans are very excited.

In addition, more importantly, Manchester City fans did not see the so-called "without Anelka, Manchester City will have problems with goals" in the media.

Now without Anelka, Manchester City still have goals.

"We still have Morris!" Many fans shouted in their hearts.

However, those stubborn media did not recognize Morris's goals, "Morris is already very good, he is Manchester City's midfield core and captain, we can see that without Anelka, Manchester City's striker Become inactive!"

In the "defense" and "analysis" of the media, Manchester City did not celebrate, and Morris held the ball back to the middle circle, urging the referee to restart the game.

It's been less than 20 minutes since the game started, but it's not time to celebrate yet!

————

Anelka watched the game from the couch with her brother Clyde.

When he saw Morris scoring, Anelka couldn't help but said, "Brother, look what you said to the media, I've said it long ago, the team is not without me, even without me, those People can score goals."

Compared with Claude, Anelka is more aware of his own situation, especially during the period when he was injured. It can be seen from the confiscated impact of the team's performance. In addition, his competitor, Darren Bent, has performed quite well. How can the team have a situation where "loss of their striker will cause problems"?

Anelka knows more about this than Claude.

Claude didn't care. Instead he said. "Nikola, just watch," said Morris, the midfielder. I know the media too well, if there is no striker to score in this game, they will find an excuse to support you! At that time, we will take the initiative, you understand? "

"The season is almost over. That damn Chinese. No other chance to prove anything!"

Anelka sighed, "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you, but... what good will it do for me?"

"Of course!" Claude said with certainty, "This is a hype method, you don't understand! As long as you prove your role in the team, other teams will think about it. Look, Manchester City has two consecutive The championship season. The most indispensable is their striker Nicola Anelka! You will be more famous and they will be more willing to pay a high price to invite you to join! Even Manchester City will try their best to keep you! "

"But the Chinese has the final say in the team. He is very stubborn, very stubborn..."

Anelka hesitated.

Claude sneered, "Don't forget, there is a Thai consortium investing in Manchester City now, and the chairman will definitely be changed at that time. No one knows what the new chairman will look like, but he definitely hopes to have a deeper influence on the team. At that time, the Chinese may not necessarily have such great power!"

Anelka suddenly realized that he admired his brother's foresight.

————

After Morris's goal, Manchester City's morale was boosted. At the same time, most players have found the feeling of the game. They flexibly played the control tactics that the team is good at, and used constant possession to press Tottenham Hotspur. Space.

Facing Manchester City with better skills, more tacit understanding, and more intense running and fighting, Tottenham Hotspur gradually felt powerless.

Soon most of the midfield was 'occupied' by Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur gradually showed weakness.

That's pretty much the playbook for the media's analysis of the game.

Although it was a situation that was planned before the game, but seeing Tottenham at home is still so passive, the media who are hostile to Manchester City also cursed Tottenham. Almost every time Tottenham and Manchester City play, it is the same rhythm, and it comes down a few times. Still, can't there be a little improvement?

What is the head coach Joel doing?

In fact, Tottenham coach Joel could only smile bitterly when he watched the game. It wasn't that he didn't have a tactical style of play against Manchester City, but the team's style was like this. He was completely restrained by Manchester City's style of play. We can only wait until next season to allow the team to adapt to some new tactics. This season is definitely no chance.

Coaching Tottenham is also a pressure.

Like Arsenal, Tottenham's traditional style is fast attacking football. As a manager, it is not easy to change the style. He knows how to play with Manchester City to the best advantage, but two factors prevent him from doing that. Decision, one is that it is difficult for the team to adapt to other tactics in a short time, and the second is that Tottenham fans are not satisfied.

Just like Real Madrid coached by Capello, the Italians chose to make Real Madrid adapt to the 'ugly' defensive counterattack. That is Capello's old job, but the result is that Real Madrid's game is very ugly.

This season's La Liga is not over yet, and Real Madrid's hopes of winning the title are very high, but Capello's coaching position is also in jeopardy, because Real Madrid fans are very dissatisfied with his coaching style.

Even Real Madrid president Calderon said, "Capello's style is not suitable for the current Real Madrid."

The same goes for Tottenham Hotspur. Chelsea, led by Mourinho, can play ugly '1:0' utility football, but Joel can't let Tottenham Hotspur play like that, even if he brings If the team's performance is good, he will also be under pressure from the club, the media, and the fans.

Maybe he can make an excuse that 'offensive football is difficult to get good results', but media fans will also refute with the example of arch-rivals Arsenal, or even Manchester City, "Why Arsenal do, Manchester City do, Tottenham Hotspur no?"

So, Joel has no choice.

Now facing the passive situation, he can only smile bitterly.

What he must admit is that the current Tottenham has a gap with Manchester City in terms of overall strength, player ability, and tactics. , they have a chance to win.

This one is impossible.

Then Joel could only watch silently as his team was suppressed. The opponent also quickly scored another goal, this time--

"Ivan—"

"—Crew—!!"

“Goooooooooooal!!!”

When the commentator roared, the Manchester City fans fell into joy again, they gave excited cries for the goal, and the reporters in the media booth had different expressions.

just now. Some people are still talking. "Maurice's goal can't prove anything, it can only be said that Morris is too good, and he is not a striker", but now Ivan Kru scored, Ivan Kru is a striker in this game Players start.

But the media is the media, and they quickly found a new excuse. "Ivan Crewe is also a midfielder. The position he is good at is a full-back. Not a pure striker, the only thing his goals can prove is , Manchester City's midfield is good, but it has nothing to do with the striker..."

This explanation is a bit far-fetched.

The camera lens also pointed at the Manchester City coaching bench. Wan Sheng's expression remained unchanged. Although he was also celebrating the goal with others, his serious expression made it difficult to see what he was thinking.

Anelka, who was watching the game at his home in Manchester, also turned black, and he turned to look at Claude. "What about now? The team has scored two goals! Ivan is a guest forward and will always have a good performance. No matter what position he plays, he has a high efficiency!"

Anelka still knows Ivan Crewe very well. Although he is not very familiar with it in private, he has played together for a year and a half and will naturally know a lot about each other, especially in terms of strength. It's really good, he's efficient in front of goal too.

Claude pursed his lips, as if thinking about how to tell the difference, and then he said, "It doesn't matter, it's just Ivan Crewe, he's a midfielder, not a standard striker. He has no direct competition with you, those media will help explain."

Anelka sighed, he was helpless to his brother, and now he has a bad premonition.

————

Soon the first half of the game was over. After a half-time break, the two teams changed sides and fought again.

Although Manchester City played away from home, due to their outstanding performance, there were constant cheers and singing for Manchester City, and many fans were still using the word "champion" to cheer for the team.

Amid these voices, City are getting better and better.

Finally, in the 73rd minute of the game, Darren Bent received a pass from Ivan Crewe in the penalty area and used a powerful shot in front of the goal to help Manchester City blow away Tottenham again. Thorn door!

"1:3, Manchester City on the road leads by two goals!"

"Darren Bent, he started this game in place of Anelka, who was very angry in the media before the game, and he helped Manchester City score the third goal! This English boy is using goals one by one to explain Your own excellence!"

"He is already one of the best goalscorers of England's younger generation!"

"So far, Darren Bent has helped Manchester City score 15 goals in the league, which is more than the 14 goals of Wayne Rooney who played for Manchester United, and second only to his teammates Anelka, Chelsea's 14 goals. Didier Drogba, Blackburn's McCarthy and Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo ranked fifth in the Premier League's top scorer list."

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate analyzed, "Darren Bent is not the main striker, his playing time is not small compared to the above players, because Manchester City has a better Nicola- Anelka, in contrast, the Frenchman has performed better and is the top scorer in the Premier League this season!"

"But in terms of efficiency, Bent is not weaker than Anelka. Maybe he played less time, just because he is too young, Anelka is more stable in comparison, but we believe that after Last year, two years, he will definitely be one of the best strikers in the Premier League, and in the world!"

Listening to George Woodgate's commentary on TV, Anelka's face turned black to death, he stood up angrily, pointed at the TV screen and yelled at Claude, "What do you say now? It's over! It's over! I've said before that I'm not indispensable to the team, but you have to say that in front of those reporters, now? How am I going to deal with those reporters?"

"Those reporters, those fans will laugh at me, say I'm 'over my own mind', I don't know where I am, what if I'm the top scorer? The whole Manchester, no, the whole England, the whole Europe, the whole world knows that, The most important thing for Manchester City is that Chinese!"

Facing his brother's accusations, Claude was silent for a long time.

He realized that he had made a mistake, so he said to Anelka, "Nikola, it was my fault. But everything I did was for your sake, I am your brother, the whole world. I'm the only one who will think about you."

Anelka looked at Claude's expression and softened a little after listening to his sincere words.

In fact, Anelka knew what his brother was like, otherwise he would not have asked other agents to help him, but after all, Claude was his brother and had been taking care of himself since he was a child.

At that time, their family conditions were very bad. Claude went out to work every day to let himself play football. Thinking of those hard days, he always felt that he should pay back, be better to his brother, and meet his request for more money.

Thinking of this, Anelka sighed and said, "I think about it. Let's leave."

He looked around the room and said, "This, this city, is no longer the place for us to stay." (To be continued ~^~)
