Chapter 405 Planning

Carlos' goal was also the last goal.

6-0, Manchester City slaughtered Rangers at Manchester Stadium with six goals.

After this game, no one questioned Manchester City's place in Group E again.

The four teams in the Champions League Group E, including the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Premier League, and the Soviet Super League, have won four championships. After the four rounds, Manchester City ranked first in the group with an absolute advantage of 3 wins and 1 draw. 'Boss' position.

The British media said happily after the game, "Manchester City's results also prove the level of the English league, far exceeding other leagues."

When the media say 'other leagues', they naturally refer to the French Ligue 1, the Bundesliga and the Soviet Super League, but they are happy to see the scope of the words. If everyone thinks that the Premier League has surpassed all leagues including Serie A and La Liga, they will only be able to do so. More happy.

The "ambiguity" in the media has nothing to do with Manchester City.

After the game, Wan Sheng came to the press conference with a smile on his face. He didn't mind putting a pinch of salt on the wound of the Glasgow Rangers who 'provocatively'.

"After this game, I hope they can know that the Champions League is not a team that can play well..."

Smith, who had just arrived at the venue, heard Wan Sheng's words and almost couldn't help rushing up to stage a 'press conference violence', but he was probably judging his body in his old age. Facing Wan Sheng, who was only 30 years old, he should only He would humiliate himself, so he could only clench his fists and sit in his place without saying a word.

After the media asked questions again, he just spoke some "mandarin" and had no attitude of cooperation in interviews at all.

In Group E, it's no big deal for Manchester City to take the top spot.

At the end of the Champions League group stage draw, many believed that Manchester City might be top of the group.

Manchester City were the Premier League champions last season, and the strength of the team is there. In Group E, only Ligue 1 champion Lyon can compete with Manchester City.

The Bundesliga champion Stuttgart is not optimistic at all. Many people think that Stuttgart can win the championship, more because of the chaos and decline of Bayern Munich for a while after Ballack left. Not because of how good Stuttgart is. In other words, Stuttgart is still Stuttgart, and even if they win the Bundesliga title, their strength has not risen.

Sure enough, as the media speculated, Stuttgart performed absurdly badly, after the fourth round of the Champions League group stage. Their four-game losing streak has 0 points. Already eliminated early.

They became the first team to be eliminated from the Champions League group stage.

The German media expressed their opinion that Stuttgart's Champions League results have brought shame to German football. The "Kicker" criticized, "The champion of the Bundesliga, in the Champions League, was defeated in all four rounds of the group stage? This is Stuttgart's poor performance. Or the downfall of German football?"

The decline of German football is not to mention. "Bild" immediately commented that the strength of the German players is still good. For example, Manchester City has a young German genius Ozil, and the German national team has many stars and talents regardless of the old lineup or the youth army.

But in any case, Stuttgart's results still make the Germans feel very uncomfortable.

As seen in the media throughout Europe, the competition in the Champions League Group E is not unexpected.

The only unexpected thing is the Glasgow Rangers.

The results of Glasgow Rangers' 2 wins and 1 draw in the first three rounds are really conspicuous. They even squeezed the Ligue 1 giant Lyon to the third place in the group.

But after the 4th round, the form of the Glasgow Rangers was not good again. They were still second in the group, but only one more point advantage than Lyon.

Stuttgart's two games in a row have made Lyon's points look good.

What I want to talk about is the big victory of Manchester City. In the face of the equally strong Glasgow Rangers, Manchester City scored a 6-0 victory, which made the whole of Europe wary of Manchester City.

Everyone knows that Manchester City is not easy to deal with, but this victory has really chilled many potential opponents. They are thinking that their team will face Glasgow Rangers. It is definitely not easy to win a big victory, and Manchester City showed in the game. The outstanding cooperation and the superb technical ability of the players.

The Italian "Gazzetta dello Sport" issued a vigilant voice, "We must face Manchester City squarely!"

"Last season AC Milan beat this team head-on, but we can still think of the San Siro battle, that Manchester City team is no worse than AC Milan, and now they are better than last season."

"If our team encounters Manchester City, we must be careful and careful. It will not be easy to beat this Manchester City team."

"They may already be the strongest contenders for the Champions League!"

The Spanish media also expressed similar views, they believe that Manchester City will become Barcelona's most powerful rival for the Champions League.

Not only the media, but European bookmakers' adjustment of the odds of each team's championship competition also proves this.

Manchester City's title odds have been adjusted to equal Barcelona's after Manchester City's match against Rangers.

This proves that Manchester City has been favored by more people.

However, Wansheng dismissed the remarks of other countries' media. When a reporter interviewed this, he said something that made the British media very happy, "I am very happy to see those foreign reporters recognized us. But I think our biggest rivals in the Champions League this season are domestic, not foreign."

This sentence makes the British media feel beautiful.

After analyzing Wansheng's words, many people came to a conclusion that Wansheng believes that this season's Champions League will belong to English football, and other giants such as AC Milan and Barcelona are difficult to achieve good results.

Although the media in other countries felt very unhappy after listening to Wansheng's words, they did not immediately refute it. The main reason is that several teams in the Premier League have performed quite well so far.

After four rounds, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, all three teams can guarantee a place in the round of 16.

As a result, the British media began to make various reports, overwhelmingly praising the national team, as if English football had ruled the world.

They chose to forget about England's poor performance in European qualifiers - McLaren's side were already on the verge of being eliminated from European qualifiers.

————

After the Champions League group match against Glasgow Rangers, followed by the fourth round of the English League Cup, which is equivalent to the round of 16.

Manchester City's opponent is Bolton.

According to the English League Cup format. The top eight teams in the Premier League only started participating in the third round, so in the round of 16, the opponents they will encounter will not be the top eight teams in the league, and Bolton is not the top eight teams in the league. But he is one of the strongest among the other teams.

Manchester City will meet Bolton. It can be said that luck is not very good.

From Bolton's point of view, their luck is also outrageous.

Now every team in the Premier League doesn't want to meet Manchester City, because Manchester City is too strong, like the "Sun" comment, "If a team can beat Manchester City, it will definitely be big news, even in the League Cup. Same thing!"

Few expect Bolton to beat Manchester City.

Not even Bolton had this idea. In fact. They are not in the mood to compete with Manchester City at all, because their performance in the league is ridiculous. In the first 12 league rounds, they only won one game, drew four games, and lost all the remaining games.

Bolton is not as strong as the previous two seasons. They are at the bottom of the league and need to work hard to avoid relegation.

So meet Manchester City in the League Cup. They also don't want to fight, it doesn't do them any good.

So the results of the game can be imagined.

Although Wansheng uses a massive rotation. But in the end, Manchester City defeated Bolton 2-0 away and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

After the League Cup, followed by the thirteenth round of the league.

Manchester City's opponent is Portsmouth.

Near the start of the game, Wansheng did not do anything to prepare for the game.

As a head coach, if you want to lead the team to win the championship, you must develop a long-term strategy, and until Christmas, Manchester City will only play against small clubs, and Manchester City will also set short-term goals.

"Our goal is to make as many gaps as possible in the league before Christmas!"

After gathering everyone in the team, Wan Sheng said seriously, "We will have a good schedule in the next period of time, so we need to take the league more seriously and strive to get more points at this stage, so that we can It's going to be easy after Christmas."

"None of you hope that at that time, we will be overwhelmed by the intensive schedule, right? I think, yes, no one wants that, the lessons of last year are still vivid in my mind, I hope everyone can concentrate and try to play every game as well as possible. One round, I hope at Christmas time, the media will say, 'the Premier League title is no longer a suspense'."

If the outside media heard about Wansheng, they would be shocked. This young Chinese actually wants to widen the points gap before Christmas?

But the Manchester City players felt nothing, and after analyzing Manchester City's next schedule, they would know why Wansheng said this.

In the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City's opponent is Portsmouth, and then they will welcome Reading who are in a relegation state.

In the fifteenth round, Manchester City ushered in Wigan Athletic, the relegation team last season.

Portsmouth, Reading, Wigan Athletic, these three teams are difficult to pose a threat to Manchester City.

Then there is Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur has a good strength, but in the past two years, they lost to Manchester City almost every game. Their football style was completely restrained by Manchester City. The two teams fought against each other. Tottenham's chances of winning are low.

After Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton struggling to avoid relegation, and then the last game before Christmas, the contest with Aston Villa.

Looking at the above teams, except for Aston Villa, which is a little bit of a threat, other teams are playing against Manchester City. Not unexpected.

If they can get all the points before Christmas, it is clear that Manchester City can have an advantage in the title race, because other teams, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, etc., have big battles to deal with and their schedule is much more difficult than Manchester City.
