Chapter 70 The Red Hot Reserve
In a home victory over Aston Villa, Manchester City continued to stick to Chelsea in the standings. Since there were three goals in this game, they also tied the goal difference gap.≥,
The only shame is that Manchester City can still be ranked second because Chelsea scored more goals.
According to the Premier League points rules, if the two teams have the same points, they will compare the goal difference. The goal difference is still the same. Then compare the goal numbers. Chelsea has scored 28 goals so far, and Manchester City has scored two fewer, so Chelsea can still stay at the top of the list and not be surpassed by Manchester City.
But until now, everyone knows that Chelsea's top position is unstable, and as long as they are a little careless, they may be surpassed.
After the match against Aston Villa, many media reporters asked about the league rankings. Regarding the 'top battle' between Manchester City and Chelsea, Wan Sheng smiled, "No one asked me about the top of the league before, because everyone thought we didn't have a chance. They (Chelsea) were too strong. But I think as long as we persist, there will be a chance. Everyone in our team is working hard. Until now, we have become very chance."
"They did a good job. Yesterday's game, they were a little dangerous in the first half, but they performed normally in the second half and easily won. I must admit that they are very strong opponents, but we are not bad either! Not bad at all!"
"I don't want to talk about topics like players, team comparisons, analysis, etc., that's completely meaningless, because the game is not analyzed. I just want to say one thing, 'It will definitely be stressful to stay at the top of the list, so they have to be careful'."
That night, many media quoted "They have to be careful" to report the match between Manchester City and Aston Villa and the top scorer between Manchester City and Chelsea.
The battle between the two teams has become fierce now!
The same points and the same goal difference are the same. This fierce competition is really rare.
At the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about Manchester City's competition for the top spot, but now everyone must accept the fact that Manchester City has a great chance. To be precise, they are the only team qualified to compete with Chelsea for the top spot so far.
They defeated their arch rival Manchester United in the first round and showed strength. After the eleven league rounds, they were still very strong. The easy home victory over Aston Villa 3-0 also shows a lot.
But Chelsea is also very strong. They beat Blackburn 4-2 at home and fought back the statement that "Chelsea is in a trough". At the same time, many people began to study how to defeat Chelsea. On this topic, Everton, the only draw with Chelsea, has begun to provide experience with the body.
"It takes a fierce and violent approach to dealing with Chelsea without hesitation to destroy all their opportunities, leaving them nowhere to play, let alone organize the offense." Beatty, who scored for Everton's goal, said.
Although Beatty's suggestion was not adopted by Blackburn, Mourinho will not forget the guy who broke Chelsea goal and gave his opponent a suggestion, "Beatty should be anxious for himself, not for other teams. He has been in Everton for a whole year and only scored two goals in the league. In our game, Beatty only touched the ball in 90 minutes. It was the penalty. The shot was beautiful, but that's all. He did not pose any threat to our defense. Who saw Terry was afraid of Beatty? Or Hutt was afraid of Duncan Ferguson? None! If anyone treats us as kids, it would be a big mistake."
This statement was really shocking, especially for a striker who "don't score goals". Mourinho's carefulness taught everyone a lesson, and many people were looking forward to Chelsea losing.
The Guardian has made a special targeted report on this. Their title is, ‘Why are all England looking forward to the Blues losing, but no one talks about Manchester City’.
Chelsea and Manchester City have the same points and the goal difference. So far, both teams have won 10 and draws, and their report cards are very gorgeous. Logically speaking, both teams will become targets for other teams, media, and fans. Just like Manchester United, which dominated the Premier League, in the football circle, good results do not mean that everyone will support you. Too good results will often become the target of public criticism, because compared to all fans, your fans will always be a small number.
But now something strange happened. When Manchester City was as good as Chelsea's performance, it seemed that everyone had forgotten Manchester City and was looking forward to Chelsea's loss, as if they were expecting Manchester City to surpass Chelsea's points.
The Guardian invited many football celebrities to answer this. The answers are diverse, but in summary, they are the following points-
"They are so eye-catching. Every time they transfer, they cause a lot of controversy, which has caused a lot of people..."
"Manchester City is just a small club. They are the weak, and people will sympathize with the weak."
"The Portuguese's mouth offended many people, so everyone would rather support Wansheng, because this young Chinese person would be much more cute."
"Chelsea plays conservative football, Manchester City plays offensive football. When the two teams are put together, everyone will like to watch Manchester City's games!"
"If Chelsea loses to Manchester City in competition, it will be interesting. They have invested more than 100 million yuan in a row for several years, and Manchester City has only spent a lot of 20 million yuan over them..."
“…”
...
Just as the outside world was in a turmoil over the competition between Chelsea and Manchester City, Wan Sheng was sitting quietly in the office and pondering.
He is thinking about things.
He had just received an unexpected call, and the person who called was Ivan Kru.
The former players called him, but Wan Sheng was not surprised. After all, their relationship was very good, especially for players who were highly respected by Ivan Kru, who had a very good personal relationship with him.
But now is training time.
Logically speaking, Manchester City is training, and Derby County is also training, but Ivan Crew calls at this time, which is a bit strange. Then Wan Sheng listened to the phone for more than ten minutes - a big man complaining to the phone for more than ten minutes is enough to make a headache.
Wan Sheng comforted Ivan Kru and also knew why he called.
Ivan Krew's situation has not been good recently. The new coach Adrian Bosloyd does not value him. The injury a month ago caused him to lose his main position. After he recovered from his injury, he could only play as a substitute.
Derby County was the first in the league last season, and Ivan Krew was also one of the biggest contributors. His team scored only second only to Van der Fate, who performed well, and now he doesn't even have the main position. He is naturally very dissatisfied with his situation, so he found Bosloyd and hoped to play in the next round, but Bosloyd believed that he had not recovered yet and refused this request.
In a word, it is professional football!
Wansheng made up his mind.
Ivan Crue is willing to come to Manchester City, but Pierce is the only one who is unhappy. If that guy is unhappy, he will be very happy. What else do you need to hesitate?
...
At the same time, something interesting happened to Manchester City reserves - Bischev kept staring at Anelka, who ignored him.
After being sent to the reserve team in July, Bischev has been training here. At first he felt that it was no big deal. At most, he would leave with a transfer at most. But when he found that the transfer window was closed and he could not leave, he really panicked, and he also hated the name "Wan Sheng".
But he is still a member of Manchester City and has to come to train every day.
Although the training of the reserve team is almost no different from "check in and work" for him, he still has to arrive every training day.
Manchester City has been improving all the way in the league, and even competed for the top of the league with Chelsea, but this has nothing to do with Bischev. On the contrary, when he thinks about the team's current performance, he even hated Wan Sheng. If that guy hadn't put himself in the reserve team, he would have definitely enjoyed the joy of winning streak with his teammates, but he can only be in the reserve team, and the team's performance has nothing to do with him.
Now he is just thinking about leaving here.
The summer transfer window is closed, but there is also a winter transfer window. November has arrived. After a while, he can leave directly before Christmas. Recently, his agent has been actively contacting other teams for him.
But now he still has to keep going.
Two days ago, Bischev became in a good mood because he had a new teammate, Nikola Anelka.
"Isn't this our league golden boot?" Bischev quipped with a laugh.
Bischev was very happy to see Anelka because he felt that Wan Sheng made a wrong decision. Anelka is the player with the most goals in the league. He was actually transferred to the reserve team. This was simply a breakup!
If this continues, the team's performance will definitely worsen, and the Chinese will lose all their hearts and will eventually get out of Manchester City. At that time, he may be able to return to the first team openly, and he doesn't need to consider leaving at all.
He had long been used to Manchester and didn't want to leave.
So when I saw Anelka, Bischev greeted him warmly, just like the two of them became "close comrades-in-arms". Unfortunately, his hot face pressed on someone else's cold butt. In comparison, Anelka was in a much worse mood.
Anelka was sent to the reserve team, and his depressed mood was conceivable. In addition, he looked down on Bischev at all, so how could he have anything to do with him? Faced with Bischev's enthusiasm, he just shouted, "Get out!"
Because of this sentence, the two almost started to do it directly.
This became the biggest news of the reserve team that day. Since then, Bischev and Anelka have not said a word. In daily training, Anelka ignored Bischev at all, but was just Bischev's unilateral hostility, as if he wanted to find an opportunity to retaliate against Anelka.
This kind of tense relationship within the team made Malwood, who was in charge of the reserve team, and at the same time he also complained about Wan Sheng. He was obviously the director of the youth team and the reserve team, so why did he still have to worry about the stars one by one!
Bischev is a headache. Now there is another star who is the "No. 1 Premier League Scorer" and his reserve team is almost the best in England.
Malwood sighed.
