507. Southampton, second in the league

In another game played in the same group, the Donetsk miners lost to Athletic Bilbao at home. This result seems that Athletic Bilbao still has theoretical hope, but in fact the hope is very slim. After all, they have too many goals and goals that Donetsk miners are missing. As for Borisov, there is no chance at all. Even if they win the final round, they will have to be eliminated.

"You played very well in this game!" After the game, Gongchalianko's hair was still meticulous, but his face was not good-looking. He had expected it to be eliminated, but he was still very uncomfortable when the ending came. Faced with Wen Sheng's comfort, Gongchalianko could only stretch out his hand and smiled reluctantly, "Thank you!"

With just such a simple meeting, neither party said anything more. Gong Cha didn't understand English. He could understand the meaning of Wen Sheng's words from his gestures. If he really said something more, he couldn't say anything.

Wensheng was satisfied with the results of the game. At the post-match press conference, there was a reporter who said that Manchester City looked in poor condition after the rotation in this game.

The reporter's statement angered Wensheng, why is this guy just a little bit?!

After all, it was caused by these media. Wen Sheng felt quite wronged. Manchester City was in poor condition at the beginning of the season, with disorganized personnel and eliminated from the League Cup. These reporters criticized Manchester City for criticizing Wen Sheng all day long, what is wrong here is wrong there!

What's going on now?! Manchester City won consecutive victories, league points have already caught up, and the Champions League locked in the first place in the group. The team is indeed a bit difficult to play Borisov, but is this important?! We won at least.

"What do you think we are beautiful?! We were eliminated from the League Cup, and you criticized it as normal. Who made us not play well enough and gave you a chance to quarrel! But now?! We have been winning since November, and you still have something to say! I want to ask if you have too high requirements for me?!"

After saying this with a dark face, Wen Sheng actually left, and the press conference lasted less than three minutes.

"Martin, what's wrong?!" Simon Stone and Martin Blackburn also came to Belarus. Stone felt a little difficult to understand about Wen Sheng's sudden outbreak.

"Don't you think he is born to hate journalists! Especially reporters who like to point fingers at him, oh, by the way, which other players are there! In this regard, you should know that he is most likely to get into arguments!" Martin Blackburn touched his chin and smirked with malicious intentions.

"That's true!" Stone smiled, "but the question from that brother today is not very harsh!"

The reporter asked the question comes from UEFA, and the question is really just right.

Blackburn shrugged, "Who knows?! Daniel cannot be judged by common sense. Sometimes it is easy to talk, but sometimes it is not that easy to talk!"

"Oh, he ran away! How should I write the post-match report?!" Stone looked sad. She was not young anymore, and her face was filled with wrinkles.

"Genggugugugugugu, I just interviewed Silva on the sidelines, it's not enough for you to write! It's almost enough to fool around, there's so much attention to this game itself!" Blackburn laughed and scolded.

There is really no attention to this game. Even Wen Sheng deliberately ended the press conference after the game and did not reveal the little waves in the media.

However, agent Zahavi said to Wensheng: "They didn't say anything at all, how could you just do it?! You still have to pay attention to your image, after all, it's related to money!"

......

The third game De Bruyne was absent was against Southampton, which was a big dark horse. This team was very good under the leadership of Pochettino last season. Who would have thought that Pochettino went to Tottenham and Koeman's arrival made Southampton even more amazing.

By the way, Koeman this season is really not easy. In the summer, Southampton started a selling and selling mode. Many main players in the lineup have left the team. The shelves that Southampton has built last season have dispersed.

Koeman came not to inherit Pochettino's legacy, but to start a new job. Fortunately, Southampton sold a lot of players and bought a lot of players, players who were in line with Koeman's team-building ideas.

Southampton in summer is extremely dangerous for the head coach, but it is not really a fire pit. Everything has its pros and cons.

Too much bleeding is not so easy to replenish blood. The characteristics of the players are different. If you still use the original tactics, you may not be able to fill the holes of the left players with new players. There are always great risks in signing, and the team is likely to be unable to recover due to excessive blood loss and poor signing.

But from another perspective, because the old man has left a lot, it is equivalent to reconstruction. Koeman's authority in the team is easy to establish. The new guy is generally more obedient than the old players. They have a pursuit when they come here. They can only rely on the head coach for the time being, and Koeman's tactical ideas are also easy to implement.

Southampton's signings were very successful, and Koeman gained great autonomy. Of course, he also repaid the club's trust. Now he has made great progress with Southampton and ranked second in the standings. Manchester City has to condescend below them.

Because the game was scheduled to be held in the middle, although the journey was long, it was not particularly time-consuming to take the bus to Southampton in Manchester. However, Wensheng decided to go to Southampton a day in advance. Anyway, even if they didn't go in advance, players in Manchester would concentrate on the training base.

Because of this arrangement, Manchester City held a pre-match press conference in Etihad on the morning of November 29.

There is no so-called strong dialogue in the 13th round of the league. Southampton is second in the league and third in Manchester City, so there are many reporters who came to the scene today.

Wensheng brought Kompani to the press conference hall early, and the reporters stopped whispering in an instant. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. These guys were probably thinking about the situation of the press conference after the mid-week!

"Good morning everyone, everyone! The weather is good today!" Wensheng opened the chair and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Good morning!" Everyone responded unevenly. These people were basically old faces. Wen Sheng returned to normal and they also returned to normal.

But who knew that Wensheng was funny next time, "Everyone tried to ask some gentle questions, I personally don't like harsh questions!"

Simon Stone chuckled and thought, "This guy is really?! How could he make such a request!"

The beginning is Jackson, a reporter from The Guardian. He had previously interviewed Wensheng, so the question is indeed more friendly. "Daniel, Southampton has been in good shape since this season. Can you tell me what you think of them?! Do you think they have become contenders for the championship?!"

Although Koeman is a Dutchman and has played for Cruyff, he is a practical head coach and does not stick to a fixed tactical style. Coaching Southampton is his first time coaching a Premier League team. He also pays more attention to physical aspects in signings, not just introducing technical players.

Combining body, technology and speed is why Southampton is not easy to deal with.
