Chapter 446 Heroes - Santa Cruz!
Manchester United players not only clashed with Chelsea staff, but Ferguson's "heir to the captain" also staged a "kicking female security" drama.
The FA asked Chelsea to provide a video of Ferdinand accidentally kicking a female security guard in the tunnel-Ferdinand tried to kick a brick wall to vent his anger when he left the field, but unexpectedly kicked a Chelsea female security guard next to him.
Before this game, there was a lot of good news for Ferdinand.
Ferguson promised, "Leo has been captain many times when Neville was injured and Ryan Giggs couldn't play. Obviously Leo is the natural heir to the captaincy, this is his destiny. His experience and his ability, both It makes him the natural leader of English football."
England coach Capello also said: "As the captain of England, you must lead by example on the field, help other players, and be like a leader. At the same time, he must also be a model off the field and off the field."
Considering that the former captain Terry recently broke the scandal of parking in the disabled parking space, the media generally believed that this was very beneficial for Ferdinand to inherit the Three Lions captain's armband.
However, in this game, Ferdinand questioned the referee several times on the field (and received a yellow card for arguing with Chelsea players), and after the game, something like this happened again, and Ferdinand, who calmed down, quickly issued a statement to apologize, "I was about to play football at the time. The wall deflated but unfortunately a lady happened to be standing next to me and I accidentally kicked her. I walked back making sure she wasn't hurt and apologized to her repeatedly. I have to give her credit because she just smiled and said to me I understand. She said she wasn't hurt, but I decided to arrange for someone to send her a big bouquet of flowers!"
But no matter how the Manchester United players explain it, Manchester City is sure to take advantage of it.
After this round, even the "Manchester Sports News" said sourly, "Manchester City won the Premier League title for three consecutive years without any suspense..."
Those media that support Manchester City, such as the "Guardian", called on Manchester City fans to celebrate the league championship in advance, "There are only 4 rounds left in the league, and a gap of 8 points. Manchester City only needs to win two more games to win the championship two rounds ahead of schedule. Don't even think about the Liverpool game."
"Now Manchester City fans can celebrate in advance, this is Manchester City's third trophy this season, the first two are the Community Shield and the League Cup..."
"Wan Sheng once said that he would lead the team to compete for all possible championships, and now he is halfway there..."
————
After the match with Sunderland, the league title can be said to have come to Manchester City, the team felt very relaxed, and Wansheng rarely gave the team a day off.
The next day, the entire team regrouped for training.
Compared with before, the training atmosphere has been much more relaxed. In his spare time, Wansheng sat with Diamares and Pierce and chatted about the recent situation of the club.
Pierce asked directly, "Wansheng, will you renew your contract with the club?"
Diamares also looked over.
Diamares has been with Wan Sheng since he took over as Derby County manager, and in Manchester City's club group, he is a 'special' one of the assistant coaches, because he has been labeled as a 'Wan Sheng faction' .
Pierce can be said to be the assistant coach of Manchester City, while Diamares is the assistant coach of Wansheng.
If Wan Sheng chooses to leave, Diamares will almost certainly leave together, because even if he stays later, it is impossible for Manchester City to give him the same treatment.
Facing Pierce's question, Wan Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Stuart, I'm sorry, I didn't plan to renew my contract."
"Why?" Pierce wondered.
"I don't plan to continue coaching. You should know that I have a Tagore-Wan group..." Wan Sheng said, "I have already made up my mind that when I coach in the future, I will definitely go to my own team. I plan to buy one in the future. A team, then the team won't change as it is now."
Wan Sheng said and pointed upward, which meant the top of the club.
Pierce was silent.
He understood what Wansheng said, that is, the Manchester City club has been changing in the past two years, first Wadder, then Thaksin, and after more than a month, I don't know what changes will happen.
To be honest, Pierce feels that he is standing in Wansheng's perspective, and he must have the same idea. After all, if he has the financial resources, who doesn't want to coach his own team?
Wansheng is so good at cultivating young players. He invests in and runs a club and is in charge of it himself. Without so many constraints, he will definitely become more successful.
He firmly believed.
But Pierce himself didn't know where to go.
Unlike Diamares, Pierce was a Manchester City player before, so where will he go after more than a month?
————
Diamares wasn't as calm as Pierce thought.
Although there was no communication with Wansheng in this regard, Diamares had long guessed that Wansheng would leave.
Wansheng's contract renewal has been continuously delayed, and he himself has no intention of renewing his contract, which has explained a lot of problems.
Now that Wan Sheng took the initiative to leave, he could almost only leave with Wan Sheng.
Diamares is still a little nervous about leaving. He is not the kind of person who likes to change. He and his wife Christine have both fallen in love with Manchester. They had their wedding in the city and planned to settle in the city. , and now they're leaving?
Diamares was a little uneasy and a little reluctant.
Seeing Diamares' expression, Wan Sheng knew what the other party was thinking. He laughed, "Gail, think about Dennis."
"Dennis? Isn't he in China now?"
"Yeah." Wan Sheng said, "He went to China with his wife and children at Christmas, and now he is a little busy because the football school is about to recruit students, so he needs to do a lot of preparation. However, compared to us, He's going to be much more relaxed."
"I'm definitely going back to China in June, and I'm going to stay for a while. I'll be the headmaster of that football school, and Gail, you." Wan Sheng looked at Diamares seriously and said, "No matter what. , you are my best assistant, what are you worried about?"
"Family? Children? I'll make arrangements for you."
Hearing Wansheng's words, Diamares was very moved. In fact, he has always been at a loss about his job future. He knows that it is difficult for him to be a real head coach, so he can only be an assistant coach.
But Wansheng is different.
Wansheng owns a large crossover company. He has no problem at all when he has stepped down as a football coach and focused on running his own group company. So what will happen to him?
Diamares has a headache whenever he thinks of this question.
Now Wansheng gave him a guarantee.
Diamares took a long breath, he didn't need to worry about the future anymore, no matter when, he just had to follow Wan Sheng.
In the past, he always wanted to be a real head coach, but now, he feels that he can be a stable sidekick... It's actually good.

The league between Manchester City and Fulham is a game that may decide the title of the league, provided that Manchester City can beat Fulham, while their rivals Manchester United, draw or lose to Blackburn.
No matter how harsh the conditions are, it is indeed possible for Manchester City to win the league title ahead of schedule.
According to the FA's tradition of awarding league titles in advance, some officials placed the trophy on the sidelines in advance, and Manchester City players were admiring the trophy when they played.
The trophy set up on the sidelines is very tempting, and every player who passes by can't help but glance at it.
Although they have won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, and many players have experienced two championships, each player will dislike the championship too much, and they want to have all the championships in their pockets.
However, the entire Manchester City team, including the Manchester City fans at the Manchester Stadium, mentioned all the commentators present, and even the opponent Fulham. Everyone knew that Manchester City was unlikely to win the championship ahead of schedule after this game, because Manchester United will definitely Will try to beat Blackburn Rovers, to retain the last hope of winning.
There is basically no suspense in the game.
The Manchester City team had the enthusiasm to win and were in control from the first minute.
Fulham didn't have much fighting spirit at all.
Not to mention how difficult it is for Manchester City to win, this is still a game at Manchester Stadium. The away game is already very difficult. As soon as they played, they were startled by the shouts of nearly 60,000 Manchester City fans.
In this environment, they lost the motivation to forge ahead.
Perhaps the Fulham coach Sanchez gave up the game. After all, it was too difficult for Fulham to get points at the Manchester Stadium. He also focused on the next three rounds.
So it was easy for Manchester City to win.
In the thirteenth minute, City took the lead with a goal from Morris, then they started to control the tempo and didn't give Fulham a chance, the players were in good shape and they were all relaxed.
In the last minute of the first half, Ozil's goal completely relaxed Manchester City.
2 to 0.
There is no suspense in the game.
When the game reached the second half, the field completely turned into an exhibition match. Maurice, Silva, Torres and others were constantly showing off their footwork, and the cheers of the fans cheered them up even more.
Wan Sheng looked at the player's 'performance', his face turned dark, but he didn't say much. The league has played so far, and the pressure on the players in the team is also very high. Since the pressure of the game is not high, let them play freely. It is also a kind of relaxation.
In the excited shouts of Manchester City fans, even if the Manchester City players showed off their feet, the game was still very good.
In the 73rd minute after this, Manchester City ushered in another goal.
After receiving a pass from Morris, Torre swayed past the opposition centre-backs in the penalty area and kicked the ball through the gap into the goal.
This wonderful push shot, attracted the audience's voice reached a peak.
The stadium broadcaster Berbat kept shouting Torres' name, "Torres! Torres! Torres—"
"3 to 0!"
This is also the final score.
When the game was over, it was supposed to be a celebration of victory, players should go back, fans should leave, but there were no Manchester City players to cheer, fans in the stands also exited, and Manchester City went up and down, almost everyone was watching Another game - Blackburn VS Manchester United.
The game will be delayed ten minutes.
Manchester United temporarily lead Blackburn 1-0.
When they heard the news, Manchester City players were disappointed. They couldn't wait to win the league title, so they kept cheering for Blackburn in their hearts.
This is not only done by the Manchester City players, but also by all the Manchester City fans.
When the game was over, not a single Manchester City fan left the field, they all used every means and means to tune in to Manchester United and Blackburn.
"Blackburn, come on!"
"Blackburn, come on, come on..."
"Go goal! Blackburn!"
"..."
I don't know when it started, such a cry rang out at Manchester Stadium, as if Blackburn temporarily became the owner of the stadium.
Everyone expects a miracle to happen.
But the possibility of a miracle is really unlikely, at least that's what Sky Sports commentator George Woodgate thinks, "Manchester City beat Fulham and are eight points ahead of Manchester United, but it's not enough for them to take away today. League trophy, because Manchester United are ahead of Blackburn in another game, and if it ends like this, Manchester City will have to wait for the next round against Portsmouth if they want to win the league..."
"Perhaps that also makes sense, Portsmouth are Manchester City's opponents in the FA Cup, this is a fight for the league title, and it can also be used as a preview of the FA Cup..."
George Woodgate's tone was very flat, but suddenly he exclaimed, "God! God--"
Just when the audience was surprised, Woodgate exclaimed, "Blackburn scored!"
"Hula-"
In an instant, all the Manchester City fans knew the news, and they shouted in surprise, causing the Manchester Stadium to fall into noise again, as if the game was not over and Manchester City scored another goal.
Wan Sheng has been standing in front of the stadium tunnel, and after shaking hands with Fulham coach Sanchez, he is standing here.
Diamares was standing beside him.
The two of them didn't say anything, they just listened to the live broadcast of the other game by the commentator in the earplugs. After hearing Blackburn's goal, Wan Sheng jumped up excitedly. The team is also happy to score a goal.
Diamares also shouted excitedly, "Beautiful! Beautiful! Santa Cruz! Santa Cruz!"
At the Manchester Stadium, I don't know how many fans were shouting Santa Cruz's name with Diamares.
"Santa Cruz!"
"pretty!"
"This South American striker really has a hand! He can actually score Manchester United's goal!"
"I'll be a Santa Cruz fan from now on!"
"Santa Cruz! Santa Cruz! Santa Cruz!"
"..."
Those who don't pay attention to the game, it is completely unknown, because Santa Cruz is a Blackburn player, and back in time he was a Bayern Munich player. Does this guy have anything to do with Manchester City, with Manchester Stadium?
Soon everyone knew why.
In another game, striker Santa Cruz helped Blackburn score the equalizer!
Only 3 minutes left in stoppage time.
If Manchester United can't overtake the score in three minutes of stoppage time, they will draw with Blackburn and increase Manchester City's points to 10 points. With only three rounds left in the league, the league championship already belongs to Manchester City.
At this moment, Santa Cruz became the hero of Manchester City... (To be continued ~^~)
