Chapter 460 God's Arrangement

At the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng accused the media of reporting unprofessional remarks, which made all the Spanish media feel suffocated.

Because they are speechless.

Before the start of the game, Wan Sheng made a compliment to Messi, and finally said 'we need to guard Messi seriously', but they didn't take it seriously, and then in the game, Manchester City completely targeted Messi's comments. Pointing to the defense, Messi didn't play much in the audience, which affected the performance of the entire Barcelona.

Throughout the whole game, Manchester City's 2-0 victory over Barcelona was also inseparable from their successful defense against Messi.

Even Barcelona coach Rijkaard admitted, "Manchester City's defense is very successful, and their restriction on Messi is one of the reasons for our poor offensive performance."

However, the Spanish media are reluctant to admit their mistakes, they prefer to attribute their mistakes to ‘that damn Chinese set a trap and deliberately misled his speech. ’

An example to support this view is 'the length of the sentence'. Most of Wansheng's pre-match remarks praised Messi. As for defending Messi, he only said one sentence, so they kept thinking 'Occupy' Most things', ignoring the real content.

"He did that on purpose. He deliberately praised Messi, deliberately said so much, but he took the last sentence directly. Anyone who heard that would think that he was praising Messi sincerely, rather than saying that the game was played. Law or something..."

"Aspen" retorted.

"Marca" also believes that 'misguided' is related to Wansheng. "He may be deliberately hyping it up. The season is coming to an end, many people are concerned about his whereabouts, and there are turmoils at the top of the Manchester City club, no matter what he can achieve. It's very likely that he will leave because of his performance. He praised Messi like this and is considered to be about to coach Barcelona, ​​which is a very reasonable idea..."

But during this period, no Barcelona executives, players or fans will consider whether Wansheng will replace Rijkaard next season. They are bent on defeating Manchester City and getting close to the Champions League final.

No matter what the Spanish media said, the result of the game has been determined and cannot be changed, so the Spanish media, fans and the entire Barcelona team can only accept the situation of being two goals behind.

"Aspen" described the game as "another utilitarian football victory!"

"The Chinese let Manchester City abandon their traditions and play an ugly defense in the game. This kind of utilitarian and conservative play is a retrogression of football."

"Now he has made it."

"However, the Champions League semi-final is a two-legged match. Barcelona lost the first game, but they still have a chance. Barcelona coach Rijkaard expressed his confidence after the game. He believes that Barcelona still has a lot to do. Big chance, Manchester City is not guaranteed to win!"

The Spanish media summed up the game and made excuses for Barcelona's loss. The British media only needed to praise Manchester City.

"I had no idea before the game that City would have a chance to take the win at Camp Nou, but they did."

"This is the Wansheng team, and he always produces results that no one else would have expected."

"The game can be said to be Manchester City's performance, Barcelona took the initiative in the situation, but they did not score a single goal in 90 minutes, Manchester City dedicated the fans to wonderful defense and fast break."

"Two goals, Darren Bent and Torres, both were fantastic."

"Manchester City completed an almost 'textbook' defensive counter-attack, which is also very meaningful for the team that is against Barcelona. They can completely imitate the style of Manchester City and play against Barcelona. …”

The British media are most excited to support Manchester City's media.

Barcelona is a traditional giant in Europe, but Manchester City won 2-0 on the road.

This really surprised the Manchester City media.

The next day's "Guardian" sports page, almost used the entire page to introduce Manchester City's victory, details to Manchester City's overall play and tactics, to the performance of each player, even Boateng who came off the bench for less than ten minutes. , have appeared in text reports.

The report center of the "Guardian" revolves around "the coming of the Manchester City era".

After winning two goals at the Nou Camp, the Guardian believes that Manchester City have reached the Champions League final with half a foot, and more importantly, they have found the 'best way' to play against Barcelona.

"Limited the core of Barcelona, ​​blocked their attack, and then used quick counterattacks to find opportunities. The game has proved that this style of play is very practical. There is almost no way for Barcelona!"

The picture accompanying the report is a picture of Rijkaard's "helpless" expression, as if the Dutchman said, "I have nothing to do with the game."

But by the second day, City's victory had been accepted by everyone, and the media and fans were starting to focus on another Champions League semi-final.

That is Manchester United vs. Chelsea, a civil war between English teams in the Champions League.

Throughout the game, a 'mediocre' Grant was created, at least in the impression of the media and fans.

For a week before and after the game, Chelsea manager Grant was saying one key word - don't know.

In an interview after the last round of the league, Grant, who boycotted because of his dissatisfaction with the media's negative coverage of him, responded negatively to a lot of questions from the "Sky Sports" reporter. Among them, the most used word was "I don't know". It was also his only answer to the question "What will happen to the Manchester United game".

"...And at Old Trafford, Chelsea got a very positive Champions League draw, but if you ask Grant how he managed to get the 1-1 away draw, what would the Israelis say? I'm afraid it's still 'do not know!'."

The Daily Mirror reported.

The match between Manchester United and Chelsea did not surprise most people, and Ferguson had no intention of taking risks in the face of Grant, who was "far inferior to Mourinho in terms of attainments and skills".

Manchester United's tactics are still the most familiar.

Throughout the game, Grant's team seemed to have fallen into one trap after another of Ferguson's elaborate designs from the start: attacking and defending at Old Trafford, only to have two midfielders at the end of the half. The generals Lampard and Makelele made mistakes one after another and gave Rooney a goal. Later, when Manchester United retreated, Chelsea's response was extremely slow. In less than 10 minutes, they played threatening counterattacks one after another, but at other times There was hardly any deployment on the field by the head coach.

Grant's selection of the starting lineup is not out of common sense, but it turns out that Malouda, Joe Cole, Ferreira and others who are in this state today were arranged to start.

In the entire second half of the attack on Old Trafford, Grant's command did not see that he wanted to score an away goal in the most crucial half-time of the two rounds.

Kalou made his first substitution for the mediocre Joe Cole, but he didn't use his second substitution until the 85th minute, replacing Anelka for the only play of three midfielders. Normal Barack.

During this period of time, Manchester United was in chaos, but Grant did not use that time to decisively replace Lampard, who was in poor condition, with Anelka to play as a double striker. In the end, Chelsea was in a mess.

But it was this kind of random kick that brought a very lucky draw for Chelsea.

Kalou, who came off the bench, made his only brilliant performance in stoppage time, and then the hapless Vidic headed the ball into his own goal.

Vidic helps Chelsea score a goal!

At that moment, the TV broadcast camera captured an interesting scene from the Chelsea coaching bench: Teng Carter jumped up and cheered enthusiastically, while Grant was stunned for a moment, then smiled incredulously, and slowly got up to celebrate, not long after After regaining his composure, he finally had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chelsea fans are celebrating their hard-earned away goal, but will they sing Grant's song "You Don't Know What You're Doing" at their next home?

It was a "reactionary" song that satirized Grant's commanding ability. Grant, who didn't know how he got this draw at the end, faced a back-to-back game at home in the next game, if he made the mistake of poor command again, not only Chelsea fans would be disappointed He will be too lazy to sing a song, and he will respond to Manchester United manager Ferguson's saying "Chelsea managers are useless at all, they are playing exactly the same way as before".

That is simply the greatest humiliation to a head coach!

"The Times" asked, "Will Grant be able to hit back at the Scots and his team with his performance?"

In response to this issue, a reporter also interviewed Wan Sheng and wanted to hear his comments on the Israelis. Wan Sheng smiled slightly and said, "Football matches depend on strength, but often also depends on luck."

"Grant's performance in coaching Chelsea is not bad. He is currently third in the league and has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is not just a matter of luck..."

"If I had to choose between Chelsea and Manchester United, it would be Manchester United, there is nothing that makes me happier than stealing the Champions League from that Scotsman."

The first two sentences of Wansheng were interpreted by the media as 'supporting Grant'. The Sun analyzed that, "Wansheng still recognizes that Grant is a capable coach."

The last sentence was interpreted as hatred for Manchester United.

Wansheng has a long history of grievances with Manchester United and Ferguson. Needless to say, the British media is not surprised that he can say such words against Manchester United.

But in fact, Wansheng is also emphasizing "luck".

At least this season, Grant's luck is really good. In many games, Chelsea obviously don't have a chance, but they can always rely on individual players to perform well, or like the game against Manchester United just past, the opponent sent an own goal and survived. Contest.

This kind of luck is really... against the sky!

No one was sure about Grant's ability when he first took charge of Chelsea, but after a long season, even fans have determined that there are real problems with the Israeli's coaching ability.

From a professional point of view, Grant's biggest problem is that the Chelsea he leads is almost no different from the Chelsea led by Mourinho.

Perhaps he also wanted to transform Chelsea, but this transformation did not succeed at all. Compared with last season, Chelsea has no difference in play style. It is no wonder that Ferguson said, "Chelsea coaches are useless at all, they are now playing the same way as before. are exactly the same.”

Wansheng doesn’t want to talk about Grant’s problem. After all, it’s Chelsea’s problem, and it has nothing to do with Manchester City, but what Wansheng didn’t expect was that in the next league match against Liverpool, Manchester City also relied on luck to draw with Liverpool.

This is the 37th round of the league.

The league championship is already in the hands of Manchester City, and the remaining two rounds of the league are naturally tasteless. In the face of the battle with Liverpool, Wansheng does not want to worry about it. Only Darren Bent started.

It's a little too difficult for a Manchester City like that to beat Liverpool at Anfield.

Not surprisingly, after 85 minutes of the game, Liverpool relied on Gerrard's goal to lead Manchester City 1-0, but then Darren Bent's long shot from the outside let everyone know how important luck really is .

It was a normal attack by Manchester City.

In the face of Liverpool's intensive defense, Manchester City had nothing to do. When the ball was passed to the feet of Darren Bent, he couldn't even pass the ball, so he could only choose to shoot by himself.

A 'bad shot'!

Darren Bent didn't have a clue, he kicked a shot, the football hit Carragher's leg and bounced in front of the goal, goalkeeper Reina couldn't react at all, he watched the football rush into the goal.

1 to 1.

The Manchester City fans who came to Anfield with the team celebrated wildly. They thought the team would definitely lose. In fact, they didn't have much hope for the game at all. After all, the league title has already been won. It's the last time, can the team score such a lucky ball?

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's bench, stared blankly at the goal, and sighed towards Diamares, "Luck is really important."

"yes!"

Diamares had the same sigh.

This game is not important to Manchester City, but it is very important to Liverpool. They are currently fifth in the league, one point away from Arsenal. The last two games are directly related to whether they can get a place in the Champions League next season. ...?

They were beaten by a ball of luck!

I don't know if it was Manchester City's luck or Liverpool's bad luck.

Wan Sheng sympathized with Benitez.

If Liverpool had to finish fifth in the league, that would be God's plan.
