Chapter 50 Strong Competitors

The commentators shouted wildly, the fans celebrated wildly, and Wan Sheng and other coaches on the sidelines also hugged each other and celebrated enthusiastically.

This is not only a goal, but also the result of the entire team's efforts over the summer.

As the saying goes, "One minute in Taishan, ten years of hard work off the stage." The goal just now is the cooperation the whole team has been pursuing. Now on the court, their expectations have become reality, and this alone is very worth celebrating.

While cheering, many people also looked at Wansheng.

When Wan Sheng proposed the technical concept of "continuous cooperation to find opportunities", many people actually opposed it. They thought that such an expectation was good, but there were not many teams in the world who could play such football. Is Manchester City OK? At least they don't believe in the short term.

So the goal process just now made them feel incredible. After only more than two months, the team was able to play such a smooth cooperation?

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

But it did happen just now. While they were enjoying the joy of success, they were also shocked by Wan Sheng’s expectations of the team and the results of their work.

Wan Sheng didn't know what others were thinking, and his true brother greeted everyone with an excited look on his face, "Did you see it? This is the result of our work! This goal belongs to all of us! We want to celebrate together! Together!"

Many people responded and shouted together, and immediately coach Xi Shan was in chaos.

At the same time, Anelka, who had just finished the goal, also squeezed into a group with his teammates. At this time, he felt very happy. This was the third goal he scored this season. He finally surpassed Andy Cole and became the player with the most goals in the team.

Although there is only one more goal, the efficiency of scoring three goals in the four rounds of the league is definitely quite high. What's more, he knows that he will be the team's regular striker. Andy Cole was once a big star, but after all, he is old and the opponent can only become a half-substitute. He will definitely have more playing time than Andy Cole.

Then, in terms of the team's four frontcourts, Andy Cole will not be the opponent. The new Darren Bent performed very actively in the game, but after all, he is a newcomer in the Premier League and his performance will not be too stable. Robbie Fowler is an old teammate, and he is always a little injured. He can't play at all, which means that he will become the team's only regular striker and will be the team's first scorer.

Thinking of this, Anelka was very excited!

If he had become Manchester City's number one scorer in the past, he would not feel anything. The main reason is that the team is not a strong team, and the number one scorer will be difficult to rank among the top few in the league. But now it is different. Since the arrival of that young Chinese coach, the team's strength has improved rapidly. This is something that everyone in the team can feel. Although they don't know where the team will go this season, it will not be bad, so the number one scorer in the team is very meaningful.

Just like last season, the first scorer of the young Chinese coach Derby County, Dutchman Rafael Van der Fate became a big star. He can even compete with himself before, and he performed much lower at Manchester City.

Then this season, I will reach the peak of my career again!

Thinking of this, Anelka felt very excited. Due to his performance and some things outside the court, the outside media criticized him a lot. Anyone who wants to prove himself in this situation, and now he finally has a chance.

"I will prove my genius with goals!" Around the teammates, Anelka clenched his fists and firmly, and at the same time he felt that it was really the right choice to stay in Manchester City.

When Manchester City finishes the celebration, there is not much time left in the first half.

The referee directed the players of the two teams to return to their positions and the game started again, but neither side wanted to continue to get entangled. After several waves of attacks, the stoppage time was over, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

Although there was no more goal, 3:0 was enough.

Many commentators have long concluded the results of the game, believing that the suspense no longer exists, and Manchester City decided everything with three goals.

When both sides left the scene, many cameras captured the expressions of both sides.

Wan Sheng walked into the inside of the court with a relaxed look on his face, and greeted the players who came out of the court in the middle; Derby coach Bosloyd's face was very gloomy, probably he didn't expect the team to lose so badly in the first half.

During the halftime break, Wan Sheng praised the team's performance and encouraged them to continue working hard.

"Although we've already led three goals, the game has just been halfway through!"

"The football match is for victory, but there are also three balls that were pulled back, so we must continue to work hard to kill all the possible chances of miracles."

"Of course, even if they can't create miracles, we still have to keep working hard because our fans hope to see a big win in their first home court of the season."

"The main thing is that I hope my team can beat Derby County!"

"You should understand!"

Wan Sheng said it straightforwardly.

Everyone nodded and showed that they understood, and at the same time they were more looking forward to the goal.

If Wan Sheng only talked about fans and the first home court, they wouldn't have a big feeling, because 3:0 was enough, but Wan Sheng directly said 'the truth that everyone knows'. This is what they say from the heart. They felt that Wan Sheng was sincere and serious, so they looked forward to the second half even more.

Then when the second half began, Manchester City brought despair to Derby County.

Their offensive did not decrease at all, but instead felt even more violent. Their cooperation was dazzling and they could not touch their minds at all. Only a few quick passes were seen, the football arrived at the frontcourt, and even in a dangerous area. Faced with such an attack, even if they were prepared, they had to be caught off guard. Derby County had no way to do it. The only thing they could do was to compress the formation and then compress the formation. Later, they almost squeezed into a group in the penalty area and were suppressed by Manchester City in front of the goal.

Soon Wansheng made a substitution adjustment.

Anelka, who performed well in the first half, was replaced, and veteran Andy Cole came on the court. This was a targeted substitution. Faced with such a intensive defense, Anelka's role is no longer great, but the more experienced Andy Cole may have more opportunities.

But no one expected that the next goal would be the frontcourt player, but the team captain Distin.

This is a corner kick on the right.

Distin took advantage of the chaos in the penalty area and suddenly stepped forward and beat Peter Kennedy to the goal.

This strong header attracted the audience's shouting.

Wan Sheng on the sidelines was also stunned. He was so outstanding without visiting Distin first. Although he found that his header was good when observing Distin's personal data, he was a central defender after all, and he did not expect much to header for the central defender. After all, it would be nice to have a few goals in the midfield and backcourt in a season.

But when he saw Distin's goal, Wan Sheng felt that he still underestimated the role of the defender's player in the offense.

These defenders can not only assist, but sometimes score key goals. In some aspects, such as headers and long shots, they are not weaker than frontcourt players. On the contrary, many defenders are stronger. They also have advantages in some aspects. If they suddenly insert and look for opportunities, they can easily create goals.

Wan Sheng felt that he should make more considerations in this regard in the future. At the same time, he also had a different view of Distin. He originally thought that the captain of the team could only be regarded as a defensive player, but now he felt that he should pay more attention to him.

After Distin scored, the game between the two teams did not change much.

Derby County seemed to have accepted his fate and was stuck in front of the goal to defend. This kind of defense, which relies on the accumulation of numbers, is indeed quite obvious. Manchester City's skillful cooperation cannot achieve any effect, because there is no room for football to get ahead.

As a result, the two teams were in a stalemate.

Until the last time, Manchester City could not score any more goals. Derby County relied on defense to defend the goal, but unfortunately they had already conceded four goals before.

Manchester City won 4-0 at home, winning the fourth round of the Premier League

A victory can change a lot.

Manchester City's victory affected the reports of those hostile media.

Before the game, there were still many "exclusive hostile media" who had won thousands of victories to satirize Manchester City, guessing the bad direction of the match between Manchester City and Derby County, but once the game ended, all of these voices disappeared because Manchester City had won a big victory 4:0.

At this time, Manchester City's media blew Wan Sheng to the sky!

The young head coach not only helped the team defeat the century-old rival Manchester United in the Derby County Battle, but also was able to defeat the defending champion Derby County 4-0 at the team's first home court.

Not only victory, but also victory, he can make the team play well and make the game pleasing to the eye.

His leadership was perfect!

So Manchester City media wrote articles to praise Wan Sheng, and at the same time said that Wadel brought Wan Sheng to Manchester City as "the most correct thing he has done since he took office." The latter was a little sarcastic, which means that Wadel had not done anything right before, and it was mixed with a lot of dissatisfaction with Wadel as the chairman. However, this is understandable. Who made Manchester City's previous performance so bad? But there is still a sense of praise in it, although Wadel was purely benefiting from Wan Sheng.

No matter what Wadel thought, Wansheng felt pretty good.

When the whole world praised himself, the feeling was really intoxicating. That night, he spent more than an hour just browsing news about himself. While he was happy, he also suppressed his sense of enjoyment and checked out the news about his competitors.

The news is not very good, the key is that Chelsea won again this round!

Wan Sheng’s goal is to lead the team to win the championship. According to the history of the previous life of the Premier League, its biggest competitor is naturally Chelsea.

Other teams can also be said to be opponents. Although their results are not as good as Chelsea, it will still make it difficult for Manchester City to win on the court.

However, since the beginning of the season, Wan Sheng did not care much about the news about his competitors. For him, letting the team achieve better results is the most important thing, and the league has only been held for a few rounds, and it is not very meaningful to compete or not, because there will be several outstanding "dark horses" in front of the league standings, and strong teams such as Manchester United and Arsenal will be ranked behind in the last game.

But after four rounds of league games, the league standings will also be of some significance.

The biggest significance is the competition for the top of the league. Manchester City won three wins and one draw in four games, and the results are still very good. Unfortunately, Manchester City can only rank second in the league, and the first place undoubtedly belongs to Chelsea.

After four rounds of battles, Chelsea won all four games and ranked first in the league.

What's even more terrifying is that judging from the current situation, Chelsea's condition is not very good. For example, the fourth round of the league just passed was a top Premier League battle that was praised by the media for a long time, and the New London derby - Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur.

In the end, Chelsea "winned".

The "complete victory" here is not a perfect victory, but a complete victory. The difference between these two statements lies in the process of the game. Chelsea belongs to the latter. As Mourinho said in the post-match press conference, three-pointers are the most important, and ugly victory is not "cold".

Tottenham Hotspur carried out offensive football reform last season and achieved good results. After introducing Davis in the summer, they strengthened the thickness of the midfield. After the start of the season, they defeated Portsmouth away under the leadership of Defoe, easily defeated Mi Fort at home, and defeated Blackburn, achieving a good start with three consecutive victories. They rushed to the top of the Premier League standings as a dark horse and approached Chelsea.

There are many reasons why this derby is unanimously favored, such as the front line fighting, which is the faster sword of Difoe or Drogba; the midfield showdown, which is the 32-year-old Davis or 22-year-old Essin is more effective; and there is also the English goalkeeper Robinson competes for Czech goalkeeper Cech, whose city is stronger, but so many problems have neither changed the result of the game nor have they had too much impact on the situation. Except for Davis being tripped by Essin shortly after the opening and angrily rushed to the referee to ask for a penalty kick, Chelsea's goal was not in much danger.

"Solid!" Mourinho emphasized the word after the game, "our performance has been solid."

He found the best adjective.

He scored eight goals in four games without conceding goals, topped the list with a full 12 points, and defeated champion competitors Arsenal and Tottenham in the second and fourth rounds respectively. However, even so, Chelsea's performance is still not perfect.

Many people think that except for this game, Chelsea has more or less lucky elements in the other three games. Almost no one denies that Chelsea is still far from their own best condition. However, even Chelsea, which is not in the best condition, has already won four consecutive victories in the list. To use the description of Chelsea media, they are the king of the Premier League, unrivaled, old overlords, new forces, and newly promoted teams fell one after another.

Hayward, an expert from the British Daily Telegraph, said, "In military terms, this is called overwhelming force. In combat, they have the advantage of military strength. The total value of substitutes on the bench has reached 70 million pounds. What else can defeat Chelsea?"

"Manchester United, can it be?"

"Liverpool, is that OK?"

"Or Newcastle United, which is about to rise, or Manchester City led by Wansheng?" (To be continued)
