Vol 5 Chapter 116: Very important victory!

Manchester City and Chelsea have very fierce competition at the top of the league table, and each point is very important for both teams.
Originally Manchester City's draw against Bolton happened to be Chelsea's chance. It was unexpected that Chelsea would eventually draw with Charlton. As a result, the difference between the two teams remained at four points.
In this case, hearing the words of Wan Sheng, Chelsea coach Mourinho felt very uncomfortable.
In fact, both teams did not perform well, but there was a sequence of matches. If Chelsea finished the game first, Mourinho would definitely be the one that is comfortable, because there is a chance for Manchester City, and they did not catch The chance to live is just the first match Manchester City completed, so the good mood is the victory.
A tie was originally depressing, but the competitors also tied it, and the mood was much better.
Mourinho's mood was naturally the opposite. It was uncomfortable to fail to seize the opportunity, and he was ridiculed by Wan Sheng. He couldn't help but refute, "Their performance is not better than us! Maybe he should put more energy. Put it on your own team, instead of focusing on our game. "He particularly emphasized the word" Follow "to imply that Wansheng seems to be their fan and actually cares so much about their game.
But Mourinho's words were never taken into consideration by Wan Sheng.
The direct competitors of the two teams, in terms of transposition, Mourinho will certainly ridicule Manchester City. This is almost inevitable. The competitors are equal to the dead enemies. Of course, it is worthwhile to see the dead enemies with poor results.
Next, Wan Sheng focused on the team again.
There are still many problems in Manchester City. The biggest problem is still injuries. Anelka, David Silva and others are still recovering. In addition to some other minor injuries, the team even takes The starting lineup has become a problem.
The second is the team's state. It is no accident that a draw with Bolton is done because the team's state is not good because of the intensive schedule. Many players cannot adjust their state to the best.
In addition, it is the pressure from all sides that affects the team's status.
Now Manchester City are the first in the league and the top of the Premier League. They have to face a lot of pressure. Every league is under pressure. The pressure in every cup is not small. At the same time, too many media and fans pay attention to them. There is external pressure.
These pressures are placed on the entire team, which will make every player feel the pressure, even the atmosphere of the team's usual training has been affected.
Wan Sheng felt this situation. But he did not have a particularly good solution. The only thing he could rely on was the team ’s newly hired mental doctor, Ms. Dina McGovern. Ms. McGovern took office a week ago. She received psychology at Cambridge University. Although she is only 31 years old, she has a five-year experience and is very trustworthy.
"I hope I can help you." This was the first sentence Ms. McGovern said to Wansheng when she came to work at the Manchester City Club, so Wansheng still liked her very much. He really hopes this lady can solve the team's current problems.
Although she has a good opinion of the new lady, Wan Sheng does not want to contact her. That was the first conversation. Ms. McGovern does not seem to be good at interpersonal communication. She always likes to analyze people's temperament and psychological problems.
"You are worried about the team, you are worried about everyone, you are very strong externally, that is because you are not confident. Yes, there is certainly not much confidence in your heart, so you have to persevere with a tough attitude. ... "
McGovern's words are like magic spells. Let Wan Sheng think about it. He thought about the failure of his previous life. At that time, it was difficult for him to succeed in whatever he did. Then he lost his confidence and could only do what he did not like for the life, and he could only live at the bottom of the society. .
It is completely different now. He is very successful in the football coaching industry. This is his favorite profession. He also has the help of the ‘Master of Football Training’ system.
He has achieved successes one by one, and he has also been very strong externally. Is this strong because of his lack of self-confidence? Use strength to convince yourself?
Wan Sheng's thoughts became more and more reasonable. When he recovered, he looked at McGovern with a bitter smile.
This woman ... is really hard to reach!
...
On February 26th, Manchester City ushered in another very important match, the second round of the League Cup with Wigan Athletic.
In the first round, Manchester City won 3: 0, so there is basically no pressure in this round. If they take a 3: 0 score, they will be eliminated by Wigan Athletic, then they really have God blessing.
In the end, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 1: 0 and entered the League Cup final with a total score of 4: 0. They got a ticket to Cardiff Millennium Stadium.
After the team's game ended, Wan Sheng began to pay attention to another match between Manchester United and Blackburn the next day. Their confrontation at Old Trafford will determine Manchester City's opponent at the Millennium Stadium.
As the head coach of Manchester City, Wan Sheng certainly hopes that his opponents will be weaker. Although the media and fans are looking forward to the Manchester Derby on the Millennium Stadium, the championship trophy he and Manchester City pursue, the championship trophy that is easier to obtain and the trophy that is difficult to get There is no difference, so they naturally do not want to encounter strong opponents.
Manchester United and Blackburn, Manchester United naturally belong to the strong team, so Wan Sheng still hopes Blackburn can win.
It is a pity that the game at Old Trafford did not shift his will. Manchester United still beat Blackburn 2-1 at home and advanced to the final with a total score of 2-2 in two rounds.
In this way, the confrontation of the Millennium Stadium is determined, and Manchester City and Manchester United will launch a multinational Manchester Derby battle!
After the games of both teams ended, the media did not report much about the games that had been determined. Instead, they cared about what happened during the match between Manchester United and Blackburn, because it was far more attractive than winning or losing.
When referee Boll blew the whistle at the end of the first half of the game, the players walked into the player channel back to the lounge.
At this time something strange happened.
The players behind are all running into the channel, followed by substitute players and coaches from both sides, as well as some staff and game officials. It seems that no fans in the Old Trafford stand are willing to leave their seats to buy drinks and rest at this time. The noise of the fans is getting louder and louder.
What happened?
Sky TV is responsible for the live broadcast of the game. Generally, after the halftime, the camera is switched to the advertisement after the player is aiming at the goal, but when the players flock into the lounge, the camera is switched to a camera at the entrance of the channel. At this time, I saw dozens of people congested in the channel, and the scene was very chaotic. As the camera was ready to follow the channel, Van der Sar, who ran back from the other side of the venue, "smartly" pulled the camera lens away, which made the British a hindsight When the FA lacks sufficient evidence, both clubs should thank this 'problematic' Dutch.
After investigation by the media, it turned out that during the player's exit, Ferdinand caught up from Savage and deliberately knocked it down, and then there was a chaotic scene that followed, and the players from behind may also I didn't understand what the cause was, so I participated in the scuffle. The atmosphere was so warm that even the caddie on the side threw the ball into the passage excitedly.
In fact, the outbreak of the two sides was not accidental. In the first round of the game, Rooney, Alan Smith and Savage staged a scene of fighting. Savage was knocked down by Smith in the game and then held down Rooney when he got up. He was beaten by an old punch.
Why bring the grudges of 2 weeks ago to Old Trafford? In the 27th minute of the game, Smith came off the bench and a standard "red card" flying shovel kicked Savage again. Referee Boll hurriedly pulled Smith away and took out a yellow card. Blackburn players are no longer theoretical when they see that the referee has made a penalty.
Fan Ni's two oversized moves also caused controversy between the two sides, one was after Reed's big kick in the midfield and backcourt. Fanny just came up from the side and back to try to shovel. Reed's support leg was hit and fell back. If it was not some distance after the fall, Reed's subconscious retaliation of the kick was likely to kick on Fanny.
This is not over yet. In the first half of injury time, Savage approached the ball near the corner flag in the backcourt. Fanny came up with a push and Savage staggered on the ground. Fanny pushed too hard and lost his center of gravity and fell, but during the fall, his left knee just knocked on Savage's back.
At this time, Boll stepped forward and only sentenced the Dutch to a foul. Savage, covering his head, had to accept the boos of the fans in the stands.
Although Bol then reached out to prepare for Lassavic, the latter turned his hands fiercely and refused. It can be seen that he was dissatisfied with the fact that this annoying foul did not receive more punishment.
After 2 minutes, the first half of the game ended.
Savage was then provoked again in the channel, and then there was a chaotic scene in the player channel. Obviously Manchester United has to pay for it, but it is still unknown what kind of fines the FA Disciplinary Committee will give them.
This kind of news is always liked by the media. Although Manchester United supporters are worried about the penalty of the FA and the situation of the team, more people are watching the lively. For example, Manchester City, many players are also in training. In the case of Manchester United, the two teams are about to compete for the championship at the Millennium Stadium. The opponent's bad situation naturally becomes good news.
Of course, the important thing is that the final match has been decided, and both teams must prepare for the battle.
But before that, Manchester City have a few games to play, the first is the league against Newcastle United in early February.
This game is easier than expected.
Newcastle United is not a good opponent, but this time they seem to be in a poor state, and the audience is constantly wasting opportunities. As a result, Manchester City won easily 2: 0.
There was nothing to say in the end. In short, Manchester City won again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This was originally just a very ordinary league, but after the game, Wan Sheng came to the press conference with a smile, just Waving his arm, he said very powerfully, "This is a very important victory!"
"For us, it is even more meaningful than defeating teams like Arsenal and Liverpool."
If the average person hears these words, they will feel very strange.
It is more meaningful to defeat a declining Newcastle United than to defeat Arsenal and Liverpool? Is Newcastle United rising again?
of course not!
The reporters on the scene were all well-informed, and they naturally understood what the Chinese on stage said.
The key significance of this victory is not the game itself, but another game that is going on at the same time. Manchester City ’s direct rival, Chelsea, has not won this round of victory. They have drawn away with Aston Villa. In other words, after this round of the league, Manchester City led Chelsea by 6 points.
This is a difference that gives them great advantages! (To be continued ...)
