Chapter 445: Big Loss!

In addition, what troubles Wansheng the most is an invitation from the Chinese Football Association.

Wan Sheng sat in the office and stared at the invitation stamped with the seal of the Chinese Football Association. He was stunned for a long time. Then he covered his forehead and smiled bitterly, feeling very helpless.

More than a month ago, Wansheng had already received an item with the same content.

The Chinese Football Association wanted to invite Wan Sheng to coach the Chinese national men's football team, but Wan Sheng refused almost without thinking.

Of course, refusal can't say 'I don't want to coach the Chinese team, because the Chinese team can't participate in the World Cup, and there are no major tournaments to play recently', or 'I'm not thinking about coaching the national team for the time being, because there is no way to train players there, I go to coach, the country There will be no improvement in the team.” Wansheng euphemistically refused on the grounds that he still had a contract with Manchester City, but he did not expect that the Chinese Football Association was quite “persistent”. After he clearly refused, he continued. Send the same invitation.

What does it mean?

Ask a national team coach, after being explicitly rejected, will he continue to issue invitations?

Wan Sheng did not understand.

However, some domestic news made him have to think carefully.

Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association held a very official press conference, announcing that they had issued an invitation to Wansheng as the national team coach, hoping that Wansheng would agree to coach the Chinese national team.

The news was said face-to-face by Zhang Jiangheng, the new vice-chairman of the Chinese Football Association, the so-called Director Zhang. He promised fans that he would invite an internationally renowned coach and explained that Wansheng was the most important goal.

"We have invited Wan Sheng to return to China as the national team coach." Director Zhang said seriously.

In the domestic media, or in the eyes of the outside world, the Chinese Football Association has sincerely invited Wan Sheng to coach.

Wan Sheng is the world's top coach, but only if he is also a Chinese coach. As a Chinese coach, coaching the national team is an honor, and even this view makes sense in England.

For the England team, after McLaren stepped down, the British media were 'helping' to find a coach. The old coach Harry Regknapp said this: "As the head coach of England, you can coach the national team. It's an honour to have an England coach who has the opportunity to be England manager and not refrain from the position for various reasons."

This is the prevailing view in English football.

In China, this view is also very marketable, and a large number of fans believe that Chinese coaches should consider the national team.

But obviously, the two situations are different.

England is a team that has the opportunity to compete for the World Cup. It is a first-class team in the world. Even if their performance has not been good in recent years, the team's strength is worthy of recognition. Just like the 2006 World Cup, the England team has 32 teams. Among them, the players have the highest overall worth, and this alone is enough to explain a lot of problems.

What about the Chinese team?

Not even qualified for the World Cup finals...

Wansheng is not looking down on the Chinese team, but China's professional football is too chaotic. He hopes that he can coach the Chinese team in the future. He even believes that this is an unavoidable responsibility.

but not now!

Now, in terms of contributing to Chinese football, Wansheng believes that what he needs to do most is to cultivate more players like Wang Xiaolei. For example, in a few years or more than ten years, China can form a team with all 'Wang Xiaolei' players. The team, even if the national team has some constraints from the Football Association, he also hopes to coach this team and lead them to the World Cup.

But the current Chinese team has nothing, and there is no qualification for the upcoming World Cup. It can be said that he coaches the Chinese team. It can be said that it is completely meaningless. Maybe he can lead the team to perform slightly better, but so what? In a few years, he will likely be the same as the other coaches who have coached the Chinese team, and the end result will be... stepped down.

Whether the contract expires, or because of the issue of rights within the team, or a conflict with the Football Association, no matter what the reason, the final result is certain.

So at this stage, Wansheng has not considered coaching the Chinese team.

From his point of view, the invitation of the Chinese team is like persecution. He did not expect that one day, he will be like those players... persecuted.

Wan Sheng considered it for a while, but finally refused.

However, considering the influence of the domestic media, he asked Kevin Tagore to release the news in the name of Tagore wan Group, and the reason for refusing was, "Wan Sheng, as the head coach of Manchester City Club and the chairman of Tagore wan Group, he has no time, I also don't have the energy to coach the Chinese national team."

On April 12, the Premier League ushered in the 34th round. Manchester City's opponent is Sunderland, and the team needs to play away.

Sunderland is not a strong team, but this game is quite difficult to play. The reason is that Sunderland's current points have forced them to do their best in the next few games, otherwise they will face the danger of relegation.

After 33 rounds of games, Sunderland has accumulated 36 points, which is only 4 points more than Reading, which is the third-last in the league. This point is not enough to ensure that Sunderland can complete the relegation. In addition to the game against Manchester City, Sunderland also has only five games left, and it is not easy for a relegation team to get points. Derain is likely to face relegation, so even against Manchester City in this game, Sunderland will definitely work hard.

If they meet such an opponent before the competition, Wansheng might really let the substitutes try their luck. After all, it is not good for the league to affect the Champions League, but the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals will start in half a month. They have enough time to recover, so Wansheng still has the main lineup.

After a difficult 90-minute game, Manchester City finally won 2:1 away.

This victory was not easy.

But Manchester City's harvest is also quite rich, not because of the league's '3 points', but because their biggest rival in the league, Manchester United, made mistakes, or, Manchester City worked hard for the whole game, and was finally defeated. .

It was Chelsea who beat Manchester United.

The match between Chelsea and Manchester United is also the most watched game of this round.

This game is quite eye-catching, so that Manchester City's game has not received much attention. In addition, the game process is also 'thrilling'. It is not that the performance of the two teams is too good and attractive, but... Manchester United players are on the pitch after the game. The staff hit it off!

When he heard the news, Wan Sheng immediately smiled.

When Manchester City and Manchester United played, players from the two teams fought hard on the pitch, and in the end, many players were suspended from the two teams. Now Chelsea and Manchester United are playing against each other, and similar things have happened, which is very interesting.

This time it's Manchester City's turn to reap the benefits.

As the "Sun" said, "Important games must remain in the rivers and lakes."

Back in 2004, 'Old Trafford Flying Cake Gate', Chelsea had another strange case against Manchester United: the Red Devils players, who were relaxing on the field after the game, actually worked with Chelsea, who was in charge of field maintenance, while running laps. A fight broke out!

The FA has already indicated that it will be involved in the investigation, with the Guardian claiming that "Manchester United players may even be suspended for this."

During the game, the atmosphere on the turf at Stamford Bridge was already very hot, and the loss made Manchester United players very angry.

After the game, while Evra, Park Ji-sung, Scholes, Neville, Pique and O'Shea were running and relaxing on the field, a Chelsea turf maintenance staff asked them to run on the other side of the field.

Originally, this request is also normal.

The key problem is that the generals of Manchester United felt that they had lost wrongly, and Evra responded indifferently. After that, a fight broke out between the two sides. The other Manchester United players and the Chelsea coaching staff who were still in the locker room immediately rushed back to the turf to fight, but this matter The closed-circuit television, which has been monitoring the stadium, was all recorded, and Sky TV also broadcast the footage.

An eyewitness told the News of the World: "It's amazing! One minute Manchester United players are running up and down the field, the next it's kickboxing! It's not a woman pushing and shoving, it's real The fight! Manchester United players on one side, Chelsea ground staff and security on the other!"

From the video, it is impossible to analyze who is responsible for the fight. According to Chelsea, Evra made the first move and punched a staff member in the face, but Manchester United said that Evra was the first person to be beaten. It seems to evolve into a 'Rashomon' again.

Chelsea said in a statement: "We are currently reviewing the relevant videotapes and photos before considering any punitive measures."

A United spokesman said: "We are unable to comment on this matter at this time and we have asked Chelsea to reproduce the tapes in order to carry out their own investigation."

The existence of video evidence shows that this matter is different from the "Flying Cake Gate", and the Football Association also has a basis for punishment.

The FA has set up an investigation team to ask to intervene. Spokesman Cooper said: "We don't need a referee's report because he was obviously still in the dressing room at the time, a long way from where it happened. But we will ask Chelsea to let us Look at the tape."

Manchester United is miserable.

After losing this league game, the gap between them and Manchester United has widened to 8 points. With only 4 rounds left in the league, there is only a 'theoretical' possibility of winning the championship. In addition, they also damaged players in the game. --Rooney and Vidic are both injured, and if the FA is suspending Evra and others that may be added, their injuries are a bit too much.

Also, especially considering that Chelsea had no players involved, it was a bit wrong that they were penalized because the two sides were not equal and Chelsea only staff could be fined.

In exchange for the fines of several staff members, in exchange for the suspension of the players... It's a big loss! (To be continued ~^~)
