49. Interview with Milner
"If you and the team need it, I'm fine! I'm willing to continue playing as the right back!" Milner quickly assured Wensheng.
Looking at Milner's attitude, Wensheng felt that he should be sincere and couldn't help but talk too much.
"James, can you tell you what you are thinking? Of course, I told you sincerely before!" Wen Sheng smiled.
Milner smiled and said, "Boss, we are about the same age! Do you know, in my heart, you are a smart guy! If you want to tell me about me, I would be very happy!"
"James, I actually admired you very much before I came to Manchester City, and I like you very much!" Wensheng thought for half a second and said to Milner.
Milner was very happy when he heard this, and his face was also smiling. He didn't know that the appreciation and love that Wensheng said came from the Milner in the previous Liverpool period.
Milner should be a soldier who can fight for the team for 90 minutes on the court and will never be fooled. He always looks very motivated. A newcomer like Manchester City really needs such a player, but Mancini did not make good use of Milner's spiritual attributes.
Sabaleta is also very good. After Wen Sheng joined the team, he had an idea to transform Milner into a right-back and then appoint him as the team's deputy captain.
"I like your personality. You are a soldier on the football field and you will always be full of fighting spirit on the court! You won't like it without a coach!" Wen Sheng's words are the truth. Players like Milner are very popular with coaches. He is also one of the main players under Mancini. It cannot be said that he is absolutely the main player, at least he should be the regular main player.
Although Milner said that we were about the same age, he was actually younger than Wensheng and was only 26 years old now. When he heard Wensheng's praise, his face was very bright.
"Thank you for your compliment! Actually, I was like trying my best when I got on the court. No one liked to lose. I especially didn't like the feeling of losing!" Milner said, "But I have experienced many failures over the years, but it's not a bad thing. I'm still young. I will learn from these failures and I have also grown up!"
Wensheng nodded and signaled Milner to continue.
"I learned that you will be the head coach of the team this summer. Do you know how I feel?!" Milner asked Wensheng with a smile.
"You want to dismember me?" Wen Sheng said exaggeratedly.
"How is it possible? You know Chinese Kung Fu!"
"Haha, how can I do Kung Fu?!"
"You knocked down Balotelli! I knew you used Chinese Kung Fu when I watched Jack Chen's movie!" Wen Sheng really didn't expect that hitting Balotelli once left such a deep impression on Milner.
"No, no, no, I don't know!" Wen Sheng waved his hand and gestured, "Actually, I'm prepared for him and have long seen his weaknesses!"
Milner whispered "Wow!" and asked, "Why are you guarding against him?! How did you know he would attack you?! I thought you were relying on reactions! It was that... well. conditional reaction!"
"He was originally a irritable child! Because I was trying to anger him all the time!" Wen Sheng said openly.
"James, without any hesitation, I entered the team to list a cleanup list, and Balotelli was the first to be the brunt! Our team does not need fancy entertainment stars! There is no need for difficult-to-manage thorns! I want to build a team that strives for a common goal! I admit personality, I admit that every player needs individual improvement! But the basis of all this is that everyone needs to serve this team! I am the leader of this team, I determine the direction of the team, and my will needs to be implemented among the players!"
"I have to clear out the focus of entertainment stars like Balotelli, the gossip media attention, the thorns, I have to clean up! Especially his agent Raiola actually joined forces with Galliani to try to bully the team, how could I be soft-handed!"
"He is an adult, and he needs to pay for his words and deeds! I won't really treat him as a child!"
Milner is not a player who has never seen the world. He also knows that every head coach will always support a group of people who are loyal to him after taking office. Balotelli will naturally be hit if he is not on Wen Sheng's trust list. Milner also can't stand Balotelli. He is just a bad-tempered child, but Mancini trusts him very much.
Wen Sheng was very sincere in his conversation like this, and Milner could not help but be moved. This shows that the leader really regarded him as his direct line, otherwise he would have said this?!
"Thank you for your trust, boss!"
"Actually, it's nothing. Whether in Crystal Palace or here now, I'm happy to establish a transparent cooperative relationship with the players! If our team wants to succeed, we must unite. I hope some important players can understand and support me firmly! James, will you support me?!" Wen Sheng smiled.
"Of course!" Milner promised immediately.
"Maybe if you listen to what I will say next, you won't make such a promise!" Wen Sheng teased.
Milner sat upright and knew that Wensheng was going to focus on the key points.
"James, I am implementing reforms in the team. This reform is also a well-thought-out decision combined with our player characteristics and league environment! But in this reform, I think there is a problem with your position!"
Milner was stunned. He could not fully understand what Wensheng said.
"Simply put, I am undergoing technical innovation. Technical players will have a very advantage in the team. Our team just meets this condition! And your defense ability in the midfield is not outstanding and your organizational ability is not outstanding enough, but it is difficult for me to give up your spiritual traits. It is difficult for you to have room for you to play in the frontcourt, so I thought of making some adjustments. I hope you can develop multi-position attributes! In the right back position, I clearly said that Richards' situation is very bad, I don't trust him very much, and I hope you can develop in this position!"
Wen Sheng retelled the responsibilities and requirements of the full-back in the sidelines to Milner and drew the route with a stroke. Because of the existence of the front midfielder, the defender needs to have the ability to press and assist. Milner is fast, and his ability to support and cross will be very threatening. He stays away from the opponent's half, avoids being attacked by the opponent's key defense, and is also conducive to his better pass!
Patiently analyzing the current situation of the team and his technical characteristics to Milner is helping Milner find a suitable team positioning. Milner is naturally very serious.
Chapter completed!
