Vol 5 Chapter 72: No. 1 in the league

The match between Manchester City and Aston Villa ended at 4: 2. Manchester City went to the next cup in the League Cup and entered the next round of the League Cup.
Before the two-way competition in the cup and the league, Manchester City, under the leadership of Wan Sheng, showed a state of great progress.
For Manchester City fans, there is nothing happier than this. When I first heard that Wansheng coached the team, in fact, most of them were wait-and-see attitudes, and some of them were pitiful for this coaching experience. The Chinese are very skeptical-even the experienced Keegan left the team, what about changing to a younger Chinese? Only that very few people will look forward to the new season team.
This may be because Wan Sheng is too easy to avoid being a newcomer-he is too young and has too little experience.
The first is Wan Sheng ’s age. He is only 28 and a half years old. Most of the football coaches at this age are professional players. There are also some players who are not engaged in football. However, Wan Sheng is already a top league coach.
Head coaches in top leagues are often very old, because this position is very demanding and requires experience and experience, and these are often accumulated by age, such as those 30-year-old football coaches who can become in the lower league The head coach is already very successful, and this standard does not apply to Wan Sheng at all. He is already a top league coach, and because of this, it is easy to be suspected.
In fact, it is still a matter of age.
Many veterans of the team are older than his age, so how can he manage the locker room after coaching the team, and how can these players convince him? When Keegan coached, Manchester City's biggest problem was the locker room. This is a very critical issue. Fans are not optimistic that Wansheng can balance Manchester City's locker room.
Finally, Wansheng is a Chinese.
European football strikes against racial discrimination very severely, but discrimination in the field of football is still everywhere, at the same time. There is a certain truth in it. Many Europeans look down on Asian players, especially East Asian players, because there are few excellent players in East Asia.
China is no different, even worse than Japan and South Korea, because there are few good players in China. At this point, fortunately, Manchester City has a Sun Jihai, Manchester City fans can selectively ignore.
right now. These questioning voices and even ideas are gone!
Because Manchester City's results are really good!
The league has ten wins and one draw, the League Cup has entered the quarter-finals, and the league and cup games have come close together. This good result has not been experienced in Manchester City for decades, and it also makes Manchester City fans feel very happy.
They think the team is about to reach its peak!
At the same time, what makes them happier is that the scores of rival Manchester United are crushed by them. It is very difficult to catch up. This allows them to raise their heads proudly in front of those Manchester United fans.
Manchester City fans are very clear who brought all this, that is, the young man who came to the team that summer. He picked up the coach left by Keegan and gave Manchester City a new look from the inside out.
Now all Manchester City fans are starting to sing hymns for Wan Sheng!
...
November 6. In the twelfth round of the league, Manchester City went to London to challenge Fulham away.
The old farmers now are a bit pitiful, and their lineups have been weakened in the summer. The first thing is. Their main striker Andy Cole went to Manchester City, and it may be difficult for the newly joined Herguson from Watford to replace him.
In addition, the most important thing is the departure of the main goalkeeper Van der Sar. Van der Sar switched to Manchester United, causing Fulham to only enable the second goalkeeper.
In addition, the departure of Bonisell, Clark and others has greatly weakened the thickness of Fulham's midfield and backcourt. The media's comment on Fulham is, "They are likely to pay for excessive blood loss in the summer. "
Fulham's results and media comments are not much different. After 11 rounds of the league, they ranked fourth from the bottom and have fallen into the relegation zone.
If they continue to do so, relegation will become a problem by the end of the season.
The situation of Manchester City and Fulham is just the opposite. Manchester City are currently ranked second in the league, but they have the same points as Chelsea and have the same goal difference, only two goals are missing. The gap between the two teams is also mapped to the game, or directly mapped The status of the players on both sides.
The 11 players on Manchester City played very hard. It can be seen that everyone is in a good state, but Fulham is different. Their players seem to have no status at home. Several mistakes at the beginning of the game let them directly Being passive.
At the end of the first half, Manchester City already led 2: 0.
But no one expected that Fulham was active in the second half. They used a strong defense to resist the Manchester City offensive, and at the same time used a counterattack to quickly return a goal. After that, the game between the two sides was tense because of 2: 1 is not insurance, Fulham only needs one ball to tie the score.
Fulham players certainly think so, so they have been working hard.
This situation made the second half of the game very fierce. The two sides struggled very fiercely. Manchester City, starting Dunn, Sinclair, Joey Barton, and Distin who came off the bench all got yellow cards. Lam also had three yellow cards, and no red cards appeared.
In this way, the game time passed a little bit, and finally Manchester City withstood the pressure, and Fulham also insisted to the end that neither team scored again.
The score was fixed at 1: 2.
Manchester City won an away victory, but only those who have watched the game will know how difficult it is.
Wan Sheng also admitted after the game, "I didn't expect the game to be so difficult. We didn't play hard enough, but they were very tenacious. This is what we need to improve."
Next, he praised his players, "Ferella and Silva are good, they need more games."
"Fulham's midfield defense is solid, and this is their advantage. They found their status in the second half. If they have been like this, they will definitely not be troubled by the relegation ..." Finally, Wan Sheng teased his opponent.
In any case, winning is still easy.
But there are not many people all over England who care about this game, because another battle at the same time is more attractive, that is the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea.
The battle between Manchester United and Chelsea is an eternal topic.
When Chelsea died suddenly at the foot of Royal Betis, when Manchester United was once again molested by Lille, two 0 to 1 deprived Manchester United vs Chelsea of ​​a heavy sense of history. Now, it is more like a simple, fight-two very Powerful trapped beast. All need to grab 3 points at Old Trafford like a mad dog-to survive!
Ferguson and Mourinho both have a blueprint of "dynasty" in mind.
Ferguson believes that it has not expired, so after the fiasco, he said "I want to get Chelsea"; Mourinho thinks it has been achieved.
If there is no frustration in the Champions League, before stepping into Old Trafford this weekend, both of them may think of the autumn night when Manchester United bloodied Blackburn 5-0 in 1996 and began to dominate-Ferguson saw the suppression of upstarts, Mu Rinho saw subversion of the old order.
But after a brutal Champions League night, their suddenly became so simple-victory, a victory that made the team happy.
Mourinho needs victory, 1-0. Don't be 4 to 3.
Chelsea have just experienced the pain in Spain!
"What's wrong with our defense?" Gala turnovers, Cavallier turnovers, and even the always steady Czech goalkeeper Cech.
The Portuguese madman watched 90 minutes with a cold face, and then dumped the next sentence: "This is the worst performance of the team since I came to Chelsea. It is unbelievable. My players thought it was a knockout game, and they It's already 4-0. "
Chelsea lost 7 goals in the past 7 games.
I won't mention the Champions League and the Cup for the time being. In the league alone, Chelsea and Manchester City are biting opponents, so Chelsea need to win. Otherwise, their situation will be more cruel-they will be squeezed out of the league's first throne.
However, the reality is really cruel, because victory is what Ferguson needs most now.
In the night of losing to Lille, Lord Ferguson had only the last hint of faith, "beat Chelsea. Find the habit of winning and everything will be easy to handle."
The curse of the old captain Roy Keane is still echoing, "Newcomers are all unqualified."
Ferguson's character determined that he could not be at the beginning of the season. Admitting that his "Manufacturing United Plan" had collapsed, so he pinched Keane's voice, and then said to the team members: "We must save ourselves."
Don't mention the numerous classic comebacks of Manchester United in history. At this time, there was no comparability with that time. In the night when he lost to Lille, Ferguson was sober. "No one will help us. We must walk out of the trough ourselves."
Therefore, both Manchester United and Chelsea will fight for survival in the most "blue-collar" way.
Despite the cruel game, Mourinho expressed confidence before the game. He believes that the game is not a big problem because his team will mobilize well in the top game. "They are a good club. , With great coaches and excellent players, they can do better than they are now, which is why I said this game is dangerous for us. "
"Neither of our teams has lost many games, but they have just lost one game before. This confrontation will be very difficult. I think this will be a very high level competition."
Regarding the outlook of the game, Mourinho said, "I hope Manchester United will lose the game, but in the end they can win the league runner-up and successfully advance to the Champions League."
Compared with Chelsea, Manchester United is more underestimated, Keane shelling teammates is even more fuel.
"What can Smith do? Only know that he is running up and down, like he is lost, he doesn't know what he is doing!" This is Keane's evaluation of Alan Smith, he does not understand how this hairy kid is being Positioned as his successor.
But Ferguson chose to support the newcomer, so Roy Keane can only be suppressed. As for the news about Manchester United, as long as he turned it over, he did n’t know the point, because many people think that after Ferguson chose to support the newcomer And Roy Keane's concern completely entered the freezing point, that is to say, Roy Keane left Old Trafford has entered the countdown.
Therefore, in this game, Roy Keane can only sit in the stands.
Then he was taken aback.
...
Despite Keen ’s dissatisfaction with the newcomer and Ferguson, he still supported Manchester United, but what he did not expect was that the most popular player in the game was the newcomer in his mouth-Smith lifted his waist, he It is a well deserved best in the game, and the only goal comes from the young Fletcher.
Chelsea lost, they lost to these two young men.
One trick is eaten all over the world. Beckham became Manchester United's signature star on the back of the ball. Smith was not as good as Beckham in strength, status and influence, but he also relied on the best trick- Tackle, has become today's alternative protagonist.
Speaking of Ferguson, he changed to play midfield, inspired by a tackle. When playing Fulham away last season, Smith, the striker, broke the goal after shoveling the ball in the opponent's penalty area. Ferguson was amazed and moved Cultivate Smith into another Keane idea.
Manchester United tackled 25 times, Smith accounted for 11 times alone!
It can be imagined in the eyes of Lampard and others, how much trouble this Manchester United man is. In the opening 10 minutes, Smith used a back tackle to tell Lampard that today I am "partner" with you. In his personal 11 Of the two tackles and five fouls, a considerable proportion was given to the Chelsea midfielder. In a sense, Smith became a tactical offset card for Ferguson. The command he accepted was to destroy the opponent's organization in the midfield. Hub.
In the second half of Manchester City's stormy weather, Smith and his teammates struggled hard, holding their breath. In the 50th minute, he blocked Lampard's volley in front of the goal. In the 64th minute, he missed Del Orno's shot in front of the empty goal. In the 69th minute, Joe Cole was in a corner kick. One foot volleyed the ball towards the gate, and it was the Manchester United tough guy who flew forward to block the shot. After the game, Sky Sports gave Smith a game-high 9 points, saying he used his performance to "keep Keen to eat his own words."
After receiving the champagne that symbolized the best in the game after the game, Smith was quite emotional. He was very grateful for Keane's swearing.
"I think everyone knows where the motivation comes from," Smith said. "As a player, you can't just enjoy the praise, you have to accept criticism. I think the best place for you to defend yourself is on the court. Every Manchester United Everyone should do this. "Smith also revealed that in fact Keane's words were not as fierce as the media disclosed, and the Manchester United boss secretly communicated with them.
"Kean told us what he thought, and the head coach also trusted us. We never doubted our strength."
At the same time, Fletcher also became the protagonist after the game, because he scored the only goal in the audience ~ EbookFREE.me ~ That was in the 31st minute, Scholes scored the left, c-Ronaldo left In the pass, Fletcher's header from the right side of the penalty area near the bottom of the right rib hit the middle of the road at a small angle, but the seemingly ferry ball drew past the goalkeeper Cech and Terry in front of the goal line. The upper end of the far-angle column hangs into the gate.
Although the goal is strange, it determines the outcome of the game.
Therefore, Fletcher also received unanimous praise after the game. Both newcomers performed well and decided the game. The old jazz laughed. He greatly praised the two, "The best in the game." There is nothing wrong with Smith, but there are three or four people who are well matched. It is difficult for you to choose one with so many people playing well. Fletcher is also in good shape, otherwise he will have difficulty scoring that goal. "
What the old jazz didn't realize is that in the training base of the enemy in the same city, a young Chinese, this face that always makes him gritted his teeth, is also laughing.
Because Manchester United won ... More importantly, Chelsea lost!
Manchester City relied on the opponent's loss, leading by three points in a single jump, for the first time to climb to the top of the league! (To be continued ...)
