Vol 5 Chapter 443: turmoil

After the match, European media reports almost all praised Manchester City's performance.
As the head coach, Wan Sheng was repeatedly mentioned, and each player was also evaluated. Morris was the best player among the players, and he became the focus of media reports that day.
After the game, at the press conference, Wan Sheng praised Morris, saying, "I always believed that he was the best, and today he proved it with performance."
"The last goal, the goal is not the main goal, Li's organization of the offense is more critical. He made the team play wonderful, but also practical. Undoubtedly, he is the protagonist of the game today.
Wan Sheng took Morris to the meeting place and asked him to be interviewed by all media.
In response to questions from reporters, Morris talked about his feelings in the game excitedly and talked confidently about the team ’s good situation in the Champions League. The Italian media was annoyed that Morris ’s tone Consistent with Wansheng, when talking about the game against AC Milan, it also said, "I believe we can definitely eliminate AC Milan."
"They eliminated us last season, this time it's our turn to enter the Final Four!"
Morris's words felt like AC Milan would definitely be eliminated, and there was no hope of qualifying.
But the Italian media is also counting on AC Milan to qualify!
In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the two matches between England and Italy have ended, and both Italian teams have lost the match.
In the first round of Rome, they lost a 0-2 at their home, the situation is worse than AC Milan, the first round can lose 0-2 at home, went to Manchester United ’s site, Old Trafford, Who can expect Rome to eliminate Manchester United?
Rome and Manchester United are old friends.
Last season, Rome's opponent in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 was also Manchester United, winning 2-1 at home but losing 1-7 away.
This season, Roma and Manchester United have had two matches in the group stage. Roma had 1 draw and 1 loss. Before the match, the Romans firmly believed that ‘nothing but three’.
"Meeting again will surely bring revenge."
The Italian media promoted the morale of Rome and made such a title.
In fact, Wan Sheng also sympathizes with Rome, because the two teams are almost ‘sympathetic.’ Manchester City met their old rival AC Milan and Roma met their old opponent Manchester United. Both teams were eliminated last season, and now the Romans also have the opportunity to avenge.
Unfortunately, the Romans were a bit weak.
They played a passionate matchup with Manchester United at their own site, the Roma Olympic Stadium. After a 90-minute contest, Roma finally lost to Manchester United 0-2.
The goals scored by C-Ronaldo and Rooney completely caused Rome to fall from the dream of the "triple crown" to hell.
The data after the game shows that although Roma and Manchester United have 12 shots, Roma have 51 to 49 ball control, and corners have 10 to 1 absolute advantage. However, the lack of Prince Totti's Rome shows a lack of ability to break the goal. .
Two teams from England and two teams from Italy ended up with a 1-2 and a 0-2.
Italy is defeated.
From the perspective of the Italian media, it is natural to hope that a domestic team can advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. AC Milan lost only one goal, which is much greater than Roma's hopes.
But Wansheng and Morris ‘mentor and apprentice’ together, they are not forgiving.
They didn't even say, "AC Milan has a little hope". They mentioned that they had to deal with AC Milan. It was the sentence, "Manchester City will win." It made the Italian media hate their teeth.
Wan Sheng and Morris don't care so much.
For Manchester City, the first round is over. They just have to wait for the second round to do their best. As for what the media says, it does n’t matter.
That night, all of Manchester City returned to Manchester by plane.
The next day, Wan Sheng gave the team half a day off.
In the afternoon, the team returned to normal training and prepared for the FA Cup.
Such anxious assembly training is actually a must, because it is one day apart from the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is the game of the English FA Cup.
There is only one day between the two games, and it would be nice to have a half-day holiday.
In the afternoon training, there is no such thing as preparations. The main thing is to let the players to do some restorative training. Wan Sheng also gives the players to talk about their opponents.

Barnsley, a professional team from South Yorkshire in the north of England.
They currently belong to the English First Division (third tier) team, and they have been in the lower league for a long time. The last time they were promoted to the top league was in 1997, but after only one season, they failed to relegate and returned to the secondary league.
In the English FA Cup this season, Barnsley performed quite well. It is difficult to imagine that this third-tier league team has eliminated two strong teams of Liverpool and Chelsea and reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup.
Some British media even call them "Team of Miracles".
For a third-tier league team, it is not easy to beat a strong team, but Barnsley has beaten two consecutive ones, which makes them look motivated. Even if they encounter Manchester City, many of their players are also Stand up and say, "We beat Liverpool, beat Chelsea, and beat Manchester City again ..."
"We are good at creating miracles, especially in Oakville ..."
Some players not only have a fighting spirit, but also expressed their opinions after the actual investigation. "They were fighting against AC Milan the day before yesterday, and they are definitely not recovering. We have a great chance to continue to create miracles!"
"Beat Manchester City, we can enter the semi-finals!"
The British media are very encouraged by Barnsley ’s courage to challenge the strong team and be able to win. Many media have made targeted reports on this, and even the media said, "Manchester City is likely to lose to Barnes Profit. "
In this regard, Wan Sheng even disdain to say.
In the pre-match press conference, Wan Sheng only talked about the team's current situation, and did not say anything about Barnes Lido. Some media interpreted this as "lack of confidence."
But the game had just started, and they immediately closed their mouths.
Manchester City scored in the third minute!
When Robert Carlos kicked the ball into Barnsley's goal, fans at Oakville Stadium shut up.
hard to imagine……
Before the game, most of the media reports focused on Barnsley. Barnesley fans also felt that the team had great hope. They all watched the game with hope. The result was only three minutes. Manchester City scored.
Carlos' successful goal made many people shut their mouths.
There were no surprises in the next game. Manchester City relied on the goals of Carlos, Yongberg and Darren Bent, who came off the bench. They beat Barnsley by three goals away.
After the game ... No one said anything.
The British media described Manchester City ’s victory as ‘very normal’,
It ’s normal to defeat a third-tier league team as the defending champion of the Premier League.

Everyone agrees with this view.
By this time, no one has mentioned the miracle created by Barnsley. Perhaps only Barnesley's players will remember that they have eliminated Liverpool and Chelsea in a row and are looking forward to entering the FA Cup semi-finals. Brilliant.

After the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City vs. Liverpool.
This is the first time Manchester City and Liverpool have played this season.
In fact, according to the schedule announced by the FA, this match will be held in January after Christmas, but due to the conflict with the English League Cup semi-final time, the game has been delayed until now.
The game was difficult for both teams.
Manchester City have just experienced a battle with AC Milan, and Liverpool have just died in a game with Chelsea. The status of the two teams is not good.
Even if the venue is Manchester Stadium, Manchester City has not been able to guarantee the state, Torres missed two consecutive shots is proof.
Liverpool is the same.
The only active Steven Gerrard in their lineup, and a three-footed shot in the first half also went straight to the bottom line.
After the final 90 minutes, the two sides handed in a white paper.
0 to 0.
This result Manchester City can accept, because the team still has 5 points advantage over Manchester United, Liverpool is a bit dangerous, they are currently ranked fifth in the league, 3 points less than fourth place Arsenal.
After tying this game again, they will lose 5 points and it is very difficult to catch up in the last 5 rounds.
This has nothing to do with Manchester City.
In fact, after playing against Liverpool, almost all the news related to Manchester City in the British media has nothing to do with the game. Everyone is discussing a character, that is, the chairman of the Manchester City club Thaksin.
In the summer of last year, the Thaksin consortium acquired Manchester City Club by way of capital injection.
Many people believe that Thaksin gave up Thailand ’s politics and devoted himself to football, wanting to do something in the UK, but in fact, from last summer to the present, Thaksin has done almost nothing except inject capital into the club. .
Now Thaksin himself has long since left the UK.
After Christmas, due to political pressure from the Thai government, Thaksin went into exile in Japan.
At the end of February, Thaksin arrived in Hong Kong and took a Thai Airways International flight from Hong Kong to Bangkok ’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
After arriving in Bangkok, Thaksin knelt to the ground and folded his hands to reporters and his supporters to show respect for Thailand. At the same time, Thaksin sought political asylum and defended dozens of charges he faced.
Thaksin returned to Japan afterwards.
Thaksin's statement to the media is, "My wife and I have been invited by China to attend the Beijing Olympics. After the Beijing Olympics, I will return to Thailand with my wife."
On the day of the match between Manchester City and Liverpool, the British government has said, "No longer provide Thaksin with political protection."
The British government means that even if Thaksin comes to the UK, he will not be allowed to enter the British territory, but the key is that Thaksin is the chairman of the Manchester City club.
The chairman of a club was rejected by the government to enter the country, which means that Thaksin could not return to the Manchester City club for a short time to preside over the work, then the Manchester City club would have no chairman.
"Will the Manchester City club be turbulent?"
"Is Thaksin's question ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Will it affect the team's performance?" There are even media outlets worried about the issue of wages for players for the Manchester City club.
In response, Richardson, the press officer of the Manchester City Club, quickly stood up and said, "Everything is normal for the club, and the club's top management also has a board ruling."
But the outside world is still talking about--
"Manager Sinar may represent Thaksin and succeed the club as chairman."
"The board is dissatisfied with Sinal, he does not have enough prestige."
"Wan Sheng's handsome position is affected."
"Thaksin is likely to choose to sell its shares of Manchester City Club ..."
"..."
In all kinds of rumors, there is some turmoil inside the club, and many players are talking in private. (To be continued.):
