Chapter 135 I admire him very much
The CSKA Moscow is a football club with a historical heritage of more than 90 years. There are dozens of players in the team, many of which are influential stars.
In Russia, they have hundreds or tens of millions of fans!
In this UEFA Cup final, which bears "national honor", they put the expectations of all Russian fans, hoping to defeat their opponents and win the final championship.
It is the expectations of such a team and hundreds of millions of fans in a country that naturally makes the League Cup final separate from the category of two clubs competing for the championship, making the game more meaningful.
But now, in Wansheng's mouth, his personal pursuit of honor is much more important than the above. "Because of this, the champion can only belong to Derby County, and my players and me."
This logic makes many people unable to react for a while.
Almost all European sports media are paying attention to the final of the UEFA Cup. Naturally, Wan Sheng’s remarks in front of the media will be known to all European media. It is difficult for them to understand the meaning of this passage for a while. After analyzing it, they found that it was because it was purely what Wan Sheng said to refute Kazaev’s words.
When Gazayev talked about the 'national honor' of the CSKA Moscow, he was very important, so they would work hard for the honor, while Wan Sheng refuted, "No, no, my personal pursuit is much more important than their honor, so the only one who wins is me and my team."
The logical relationship that is not implicit in the words is simply said to refute Kazaev.
This is the interpretation made by European media.
At the same time, many sports media reporters also smiled bitterly. They found that the young Derby County coach was talking a lot, and he was purely refuting. It can even be said that he could not keep up with his IQ when ridicule and swearing, and he really couldn't react.
It seems that if you want to be a coaching circle, you also need enough IQ.
Obviously, Gazayev is an old coach. Even if the media does not need to interpret it, he understands Wansheng's meaning, and this also solves a previous doubt - he finally knows why the English media doesn't like this young Chinese anymore, because this guy is really annoying!
By the way, aren’t Chinese people all very friendly?
Gazayev also knew several Chinese people. In his impression, the Chinese were very kind, very polite, and the most impressive thing was the subconscious humility, which was completely unaware of in Europeans. Many Europeans believed that humility was a kind of cowardice, but Gazayev knew that it was a humanistic tradition left over from China's five thousand years of history.
But obviously the young opponent I am facing now is a little different from ordinary Chinese people. He can't see any humility in him at all, but he is more arrogant than people in any country!
Gazayev was so angry that he told himself that he should not lose his mind, but he still couldn't help but retort in front of the reporter, "I don't understand why his personal pursuit is more important than the 'national honor' that our entire team bears."
"I guess his logic cannot be understood by ordinary people." The next sentence is pure irony.
Wan Sheng heard these words, but he didn't care at all.
The two head coaches may have a bit of a market in Europe, but in England, this is really normal. It is strange that there is no verbal battle before every battle in the Premier League.
He is also experienced in this regard!
Whether it is Ferguson, Mourinho, or coaches like Keegan, Hart, etc., they have had verbal confrontations with Wan Sheng. Of course, the biggest opponent is Mourinho and Ferguson. In the battle of words, Wan Sheng did not gain any advantage. However, the victory of the game made him the winner.
Wan Sheng knew that there was no need to be modesty when dealing with his opponent. The final was a war, and the war was life-and-death. The winner had one command, so modesty and other things had no meaning at all. To be modest before such a war would be purely "cowardly".
If he has the opportunity to pull his opponent into the abyss, he will do it without hesitation. When his opponent encounters problems, he will definitely not be stingy.
This is war!
After leading the team to Sporting Lisbon, after hearing a reporter mention Gazayev's words, Wan Sheng curled his lips and replied solemnly, "Actually, we have no grudges, but the final is a life-and-death battle!"
"There is only one championship trophy, so I can only express one fact sorry - fate is already destined, and because we are here, the other party can only accept the failure regretfully."
All foreign media were stunned.
Wan Sheng ignored the reporter's feelings. After he said that, he led the team to leave. As for how the media reporter interpreted it, he didn't have to care.
He actually wanted to express one meaning: "We are here just to win the championship! As for what the opponent says, what you think, and what you do, it doesn't matter! Because the final championship will definitely be ours!"
This is faith!
Wan Sheng said the above words in front of all the players, which made the players feel motivated. Did you see it? Faced with such a big battle, our coach is so confident!
Then what else can we be afraid of?
Of course, in the eyes of the media in European countries, this is not the case. They gave a new round of careful interpretation of Wansheng's words, but the meaning is that way, and this statement is purely unreasonable.
We are here, the champion is ours!?
This is completely not taking the CSKA seriously!
The Russian media was quite angry, while the neutral media was just a joke, but the English media felt very happy. In fact, they were not surprised that Wan Sheng would say something that would win. In England's own league and cup games, Wan Sheng was not humble at all. Facing Manchester United and at Old Trafford, he dared to say, "We want to take away the championship." What does the CSKA Moscow that he has to face now count?
But the English media listened very well because their perspective changed.
When Derby County plays against Manchester United, many of them are from the perspective of Manchester United, even if they do not support Manchester United, they will not support Derby County, so they are very angry at the words of Wan Sheng; but now it is the match between the English team and the Russian team, they naturally support Derby County. From the perspective of the supporters, they hear the same "arrogant" words. Instead, they feel very happy and comfortable.
Listen to it!
"Because we are here, you must accept failure!"
These words are really domineering! I didn’t expect that this young Chinese could also be so tough when facing foreign teams!
Many media suddenly discovered that they really fell in love with this guy
Moscow CSKA head coach Gazayev probably found that he had no talent in talking. If he continued to do it, he would not have any other result except to make himself more angry. So he rationally did not continue, but began to prepare for the battle. Even when facing the media, he did not talk about his opponents anymore, and he only talked about his own team.
One of the characters that Gazayev talks about is worth mentioning, that is, Abramovich, the most famous fan of the CSKA.
Abramovich is a sponsor of the CSKA and a major shareholder of Russian Petroleum Corporation. Before he took over Chelsea, it can be said that CSKA Moscow was his team, but because UEFA stipulates that two teams that also participate in European competitions cannot be controlled by the same person, Abramovich voluntarily gave up some power over CSKA Moscow.
In fact, there was a lot of noise about this incident at that time.
That was last summer. Just when Mourinho was full of confidence in defending the Champions League, the Portuguese was probably killed and did not expect that Chelsea's qualification to participate had become a problem.
UEFA launched an investigation into whether Chelsea boss Abramovich also held CSKA. Once this issue is true, both teams in the Champions League Group H would lose their qualifications.
This incident was a hot topic at the time, because it was a huge sponsorship of a £30 million corset advertisement.
It is obviously impossible for the CSKA corset advertisement to be sold at such a high price. This advertising sponsorship was funded by Siberian Petroleum, and Abramovich is the company's number one shareholder.
However, this matter ended up leaving nothing because UEFA did not have direct evidence to prove anything, but everyone knew the relationship between Abramovich and CSKA Moscow.
In the eyes of many people, the CSKA Moscow can definitely be labeled as the Abramovich direct lineage!
So now Moscow CSKA coach Gazayev hopes Abramovich can watch the ball.
"I don't know if Mr. Abramovich will fly to Portugal to watch this CSKA strives to be the first event to win a major European tournament, but if I wish he could come, I think our fans and the entire team would welcome him!"
"Whenever CSKA wins, he's always there. Of course, I know it's hard to get tickets, but don't forget that he's Abu."
In fact, even if he lost the final, the CSKA has written history.
Before the final battle began, coach Gazayev couldn't help but say with a heroic look, "We set an example for other Russian teams, and can talk about the loss with first-class European teams. Russian teams must not underestimate themselves."
Since becoming the only Russian team in the European competition this season, the CSKA has been well-behaved under the care of senior management. The Russian Football Association has even suspended their three-round league games to prepare for the League Cup.
This kind of treatment is definitely unimaginable to the English team.
One day before the game, CSKA players had appeared at the Obidus training camp 70 kilometers away from Lisbon, and the team stayed at the five-star Garden Hotel in Lisbon.
The media naturally won't miss the news of CSKA training. When these news are brought together, you can know Gazayev's tactics and personnel arrangements. It is obvious that CSKA will rank out the traditional 442 and prepare to use the abundant physical strength and strong defense of young players to fight Derby County, which is said to be good at attacking.
In media analysis, Daniel Carvalho and Wagner Laf, who spent CSKA 8 million euros, will become the key to determining the Russian goal.
However, the media's statements are difficult to affect Wan Sheng's judgment. Before the game starts, many media will care about Wan Sheng's views on the CSKA, especially on CSKA players, lineups, etc. After all, Wan Sheng is a striking figure in England. Now the two teams are going to play, and some Russian media also hope to hear some praise from Wan Sheng.
They got what they wanted.
At the press conference before the game, Wan Sheng talked about the CSKA Moscow in his eyes, "This is a strong opponent! Some people told me that their midfielder Carvalho needs attention, and some people told me that their striker Raf needs special care."
"I was still very confused at the time, because the name Carvalho reminded me of Chelsea's central defender." Wan Sheng said seriously after making a joke that made Russian reporters look dark, "But in my opinion, the most threatening thing is their other forward player."
The reporters in the audience looked at each other in surprise.
Sure enough, Wan Sheng continued, "Yes, it's Olic! The football of this Croatian striker is very practical, I admire him very much, so I think he is more threatening than Raff."
"If I stay in Derby next season, I will definitely consider buying it. I believe he will reach the peak of his career in the Premier League!"
Wansheng said seriously
ps: In advance, this game will take up about 2 to 3 chapters. I actually know that the transfer is more attractive, but the pace should not be messy (to be continued)
Chapter completed!
