It’s not that Dzeko’s injury is so serious. He has an ankle sprain, so it’s probably okay in one or two weeks.

But the problem is that the last two games are very important. The Champions League will be played on the evening of the 17th, against Borisov at home. This team is indeed weak, but Manchester City is not familiar with them. Champions League games often have upsets, and now Manchester City is undoubtedly in a period of weakness.

Then on the afternoon of the 21st of the weekend, Manchester City will face the challenge of leading Chelsea at home. Now Manchester City has only scored 5 points and Chelsea has already scored 10 points. If they lose to Chelsea on the weekend, the gap between Manchester City and their opponents will widen to 8 points, and these 8 points will not be so easy to be recovered.

Suarez is still suspended, and Dzeko's injury for a week is an unbearable pain for Manchester City.

"How is the team?! Do you feel okay?!" On the 16th, outside the door of the press room of the training base, Wen Sheng patted Milner on the shoulder.

Kompany was injured and Milner became the captain of the team. He attended the pre-match press conference with Wen Sheng today.

"Not bad, boss, Borisov is nothing great, hehe! Everyone is confident in this game, and Edin's absence did not cause much trouble to everyone!"

"Um?!"

"I mean, well, some people may think it's a problem, but no one reveals it! This is unfair to John after all!" Milner shrugged, still a little bit careless. Wensheng is not surprised. He is a living treasure and is rarely serious, but there is no need to suspect that he is a very serious person.

Guideti became the only alternative striker. If the forward issue is discussed in the locker room, it is indeed unfair to Guideti and it is easy to hit Guideti's confidence.

Wensheng always repeatedly emphasized in the locker room of the training grounds that he had to trust his teammates, but Guedti didn't play much this season and did not show too many convincing performances. It is normal for some people to suspect it.

"Hmph, you old guys should do your best first! I doubt others will ask yourself whether your performance has been in place since the new season!" Wensheng does not want anyone on the team to question others' abilities, which is really bad.

"Everyone is a team. Since you can't choose your teammates now, you should trust your existing teammates and work hard to move forward is the king!"

Milner felt that the boss was a little nervous. Trusting his teammates and recognizing his teammates’ strength were two different things. Everyone can see Guideti’s progress, but there is still a big gap between him and Dzeko. This is an indisputable fact, and this does not mean distrust!

Milner's defense was cut off by Wen Sheng, who said: "James, do you know?! We are now building our own dynasty. We should overcome the difficulties in front of us with passion, trust our teammates, and then win the final victory! The dynasty belonging to Manchester City, do you understand?!"

"The difficulties are always temporary, and there is no doubt that John cannot be compared with Edin, but you should also give him trust and believe that he can complete the tactical tasks!"

Milner nodded, unable to find any refutation, alas, maybe the boss is right.

The two walked into the press conference hall together, and pointed their spears and cannons at them.

The two of them are familiar with the press conference, and the press conference began soon.

An official UEFA reporter asked the first question today, "Wen, what are the goals of Manchester City or Wen Sheng in the new season's Champions League!"

"We will go as far as possible!"

"What do you expect from your psychological expectations..."

"I have no psychological expectations. We will go as far as possible. If we can successfully defend the Champions League title, it will be an amazing achievement."

"Daniel, how do you evaluate the opponent you are about to face? Some people in Group H think you will qualify as a standout. Do you think this statement is correct?" A reporter from Manchester Evening News raised his hand.

"The group stage of the Champions League is not easy. We have some difficulties in facing Borisov. First of all, we are not familiar with them. Secondly, we have also encountered some personnel troubles. After Edin was injured, we only have John, a striker who can use it! Borisov is able to enter the group stage, which shows that they have considerable abilities! However, I also have strong confidence in this game. I believe we can deliver a satisfactory answer at home!" It is obviously impossible for all the consenting at home.

"Do you think Guideti can replace Dzeko's role?!" asked the Guardian reporter.

"They are different types of players. John is very young. He has his own characteristics. It is meaningless to simply compare them. I believe John can complete the game tasks well!"

......

The Manchester City players did not go home that night, but lived at the training base, which was Wensheng's deliberate request.

Manchester City's training base is in good condition, and every player has his own room. It was already early in the morning, and Guedti couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Last season, Manchester City went smoothly, and Guedti also got a lot of opportunities to play. Because there was no too much pressure, he gradually recovered his body and his competitive state.

However, Manchester City's league start this season was not a good start. He only scored 5 points in four rounds. The outside media have criticized Manchester City. Even though everyone knows that Manchester City is a dozing Lions, the media that are keen on finding gimmicks will ignore this and keep accusing head coach Wensheng and Manchester City players.

Guideti is just a substitute. To be honest, he has only played once in the new season, but this pressure has come to his face, making him feel heavy. Dzeko was injured, and Wensheng clearly pushed him to the front stage. He will be the main center forward and fire the first shot in the Champions League in the new season with the team.

Guideti was very worried that he would not be able to complete the tasks arranged by Wen Sheng, worried that the team would not be able to defeat the weak team Borisov at home, and worried that all parties would accuse him after the game tomorrow!

In a daze, Guedti came to the restaurant for breakfast in a dismay.

Wensheng was slowly enjoying bread and milk at the dining table. Guideti looked at the boss with a little dodging his eyes.

He didn't want to attract attention, and planned to go back to bed to take a nap after breakfast, but...

"John, come here!"

Wensheng called his name and waved with a smile.

Guideti had no choice but to bite the bullet and move over with the dining plate.

"Hey, man, it seems that you are not in good spirits?! Didn't you rest last night?!" Wen Sheng asked with concern.

"Ah, no! Boss!" Guideti put down the dinner and sat cross-legged opposite Wensheng.

"No?! I didn't sleep well last night! The pressure has been a little heavy recently. If we don't win, I'm probably dismissed by the media tomorrow!" Wen Sheng said self-deprecatingly.

Guedti didn't know what he should say.

"Relax man!" Wensheng looked at Guideti not moving the tableware and knocked on the plate. "It's no big deal. This game is just the beginning of the group stage. We are much stronger than them. We will win this game!"

"Yeah!" Guedti nodded.

Wensheng began to review the tactical arrangements for Guideti. Although Wensheng was just talking about himself, Guideti still felt that he was not so nervous.
Chapter completed!
