Wan Sheng's speech at the press conference made people feel very refreshed because he directly defined the penalty kicks obtained by Manchester United as a "despicable means". C-Ronaldo fell in the penalty area, which was naturally a "fake fall". In fact, no one dared to be 100% sure that was a fake fall. Many media reported it in a vague way. After all, no one dared to be sure C-Ronaldo fell down on purpose.

But most people know that at least 80% of the possibility that C-Ronaldo fell down on purpose, which means that Manchester United's penalty kicks were probably obtained using "despicable means".

Wan Sheng now emphasizes this in the media and describes his Manchester City as a "team that cannot be defeated by despicable means", and Manchester United naturally becomes a "team that can only win by despicable means". The two are completely opposite, making Manchester City supporters feel very happy, because few people will say so bluntly, of course, the feelings of Manchester United supporters are completely opposite.

If everyone thinks this way, they not only lose the game, but also lose sports.

So Manchester United supporters immediately came forward to refute. Of course, Manchester United coach Ferguson is indispensable. He fired back and said, "There are always some controversial punishments in football. If everyone is like him (Winnings) the pressure on the referee will be much greater."

"Congratulations on winning the game, but we will remember failure. This is a lesson. We will remember deeply that the next victory must belong to us."

Finally, Ferguson emphasized, "I look forward to it, that will come very soon."

Ferguson's words made people think of the League Cup.

If Manchester United and Manchester City can still play this season, it will definitely be in the Cup. The most promising thing is the League Cup. Manchester City has won the final ticket with one foot, and Manchester United has a great chance of defeating Blackburn. Eliminating Blackburn is easy for them, so the two teams are likely to start a championship battle at the Millennium Stadium.

On the one hand, it is the final match of the League Cup, and on the other hand, it is the Manchester derby. This game is really worth looking forward to!

So many media began to report on the competition in advance.

Of course, as the opponents of the two teams in the League Cup, Wigan Athletics and Blackburn were unhappy, but they were not eliminated. The media began to report that Manchester City and Manchester United met in the League Cup final?

Even as Ferguson's former assistant, Blackburn coach Hughes couldn't hold back his anger and expressed his anger. "I think it's us who should enter the finals. Even if we go to Old Trafford Stadium, we can still withstand the pressure." Hughes had the confidence to say this. Because the score between Blackburn and Manchester United in the first round was 1:1, they still have a good chance.

In contrast, Wigan Athletics, which lost to Manchester City in the first leg, had no confidence. Head coach Jewell could only let the team train in a quiet voice and did not talk about this in front of the media, because even he himself knew that Wigan Athletics had been eliminated in the League Cup. It was a fantasy that they wanted to create a miracle to eliminate Manchester City, and it was impossible.

Just as the media held a vigorous discussion on the Manchester derby that just passed, Wan Sheng was already considering his contract with the club.

The second day of the game was a rest day, and he was going to sleep until very late before getting up.

But a phone call woke him up. When he turned on his phone, he found out that it was the club general manager Bi Knicks. He called to talk to Wansheng about the contract renewal.

Wansheng renewed his contract with Derby County before, but the team was still in the second division of England at that time. The contract renewal was just a simple modification of the contract, and it was only a symbolic announcement at the press conference.

It's different now.

Wansheng's original contract was already very good, and he would definitely have better treatment if he wanted to negotiate a contract renewal, but he still needed to consider it carefully in terms of contract renewal. Then he would go and have a serious discussion with the club.

Manchester City's contract renewal is basically the same as signing a new contract. Bi Knicks came up with a complete set of contract renewal negotiations, and Wan Sheng didn't know these. He could only call Kevin Tagore and let him talk to Bi Knicks.

However, some things need to be considered by Wansheng himself, such as the contract term. He and Manchester City were '3+1' before, and the original contract term was three years. Before the contract expired, the two parties cooperated happily and if they had no objection, they would automatically renew their contract for one year.

The advantage of this kind of contract is that it is more flexible. There will be no problem if the club wants to change the head coach in three years, or if he wants to leave by himself.

Renewal is different. Once a contract is signed, the term must be added to the period of at least one year.

It is a normal time for a European football coach to coach for three or four years in a team. In the short term, it is usually two or three years. More than four years is a long time. Except for Wenger and Ferguson, football coaches with almost the name of the team are engraved on them. Other football coaches rarely coach in the same team for more than four years. There are many reasons. For example, the coach himself will be tired of the team and the fixed environment. The club will also consider changing a head coach to add something new to the team. In addition, there are other reasons that lead to the head coach and the club being able to break up peacefully.

In short, a contract that lasts too long still needs to be considered carefully. It is not said that you can sign a long-term contract with confidence if you have good coaching results, because Wan Sheng doesn’t know what you will look like in four years.

He must think clearly.

If the contract is short, it will be much more flexible, such as poor coaching performance, or it is impossible to let the team go further. After the contract expires, as long as Manchester City says it does not renew the contract, Wan Sheng can go to find a new boss. Manchester City can also find a new coach at that time. The two sides will break up peacefully and there will be no sequelae at all. However, the contract is not over, and the issue of liquidated damages will be involved. At that time, the club wants to change the coach and need to pay the liquidated damages. Wan Sheng wants to forcefully terminate the contract, and there will be a liquidated damages problem, which is very troublesome.

Of course, there are also benefits to long-term contracts, that is, they are stable and their salary will be higher.

If both parties can always work happily, the club is willing to pay more salaries, and Wansheng can have a more stable environment and can focus on the team, which is beneficial to both sides.

Therefore, you must consider the age clearly.

Another important thing is naturally salary and benefits. To renew the contract, you must increase your salary. The specific amount of increase is worth discussing. For Wan Sheng himself, the higher the salary, the higher the salary, but for Manchester City clubs, they cannot increase their salary unlimitedly, which will break the club's salary system. Even if Wan Sheng is the head coach, he will have the highest salary in the team. This cannot be done the same.

Manchester City club is very generous in this regard. The Knicks directly received the highest salary, with a weekly salary of 80,000 pounds before tax, an increase of 10% every year, which is basically the same as the salary Mourinho received at Chelsea. With this salary contract, Wansheng can become one of the world's highest-paid head coaches.

In fact, club chairman Wadel wanted to use a high salary to keep Wan Sheng's heart, so it is not surprising that the club has a salary contract of this level.

In addition to his salary, Wan Sheng still has other requirements. First of all, Diamares. As the head coach, he has to renew his contract. As an important member of the coaching staff, Diamares naturally also has to renew his contract and also has a salary increase. On the contrary, Pierce and Peter James don’t have to worry about it. Both of them signed a contract with the club alone and have nothing to do with his contract.

This is also a matter of relationship with Wansheng.

If one day Wansheng leaves Manchester City Club, Diamares will definitely leave, but Pierce and Peter James cannot guarantee that because of this, Wansheng's contract renewal cannot take into account both of them unless they truly become 'our own people'.

Manchester City Club is not surprised by Wan Sheng’s request. After all, Diamares was brought by Wan Sheng, so if you want to renew the contract, you must renew it together.

Manchester City Club agreed, and soon Diamares received a renewal notice.

Diamares' contract extension is easy to negotiate, and he has no special requests. The salary increase alone is enough to make him happy, and the salary increase is only about 200,000 pounds a year, which is less than a fraction of Wansheng's new contract, so the two parties naturally agreed soon.

At this time, Wansheng's contract also talked about the end, and the dispute between the two parties was still on the issue of age.

Manchester City Club wants to increase the contract term to June 2010, and Bi Knicks believes that Wansheng has no reason to refuse. According to the salary marked in the contract, from 2009 to 2010, that is, the last year of the contract term, Wansheng's annual salary before tax will exceed 7 million pounds, which is definitely a terrifying figure.

A long appointment with the club is a guarantee for the coach. It is really too late to be happy that football coaches can get a long-term and high-salary contract like the Super League team, but it is completely the opposite.

Wansheng doesn't want to sign a contract that lasts too long.

There are two reasons. One is that he has enough confidence to lead the team to achieve good results, so long-term contracts and short-term contracts are meaningless to him.

Unless there is a conflict with the club's senior management, such as chairman Wadel, Manchester City club will definitely not consider changing the head coach, but if that happens, he will give priority to leaving.

Another reason is that he knew what happened a few years later. In the year before his rebirth, Mourinho returned to Stamford Bridge Stadium and received three times the salary he received now. So what about 2010!? It’s at least twice as much!?

By then, I will only get 7 million pounds, wouldn’t it be a big loss!

No matter how Wan Sheng thought about it, he felt that signing a long contract was only beneficial to Manchester City club and was not good for him. So he insisted that the contract period was only up to the original ‘3+1’, which was to end normally in June 2008, and it depends on whether the contract was renewed for another year.

The two sides were in a stalemate on this issue, and in the end, after discussing with Chairman Wadell, Bi Knicks had to agree.

In this way, Wansheng completed the contract renewal with the club, and there was basically no change except for the increase in salary.

Despite this, the contract renewal caused a storm in the media.

The key is the sense of renewal, which shows the attitude of Manchester City Club and Wan Sheng himself. Due to Wan Sheng's leadership, many clubs are making up for his ideas. Now that Wan Sheng has completed the renewal, it is equivalent to expressing to the outside world, "I have not left Manchester City Club for the time being." At the same time, Manchester City Club also expressed in the form of renewal, "We are willing to pay a higher salary to keep Wan Sheng."

So those clubs with small thoughts had to stop.

Next, Wan Sheng focused on the team.

On January 21, in the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Bolton away.

Because of the historical reasons of the "air crash", Bolton and Manchester United are also mortal enemies, but this does not mean that Manchester City and Bolton are friends, and the relationship between the two teams is also very bad. Confrontation between fans is common every time they meet.

Although the game between the two teams is not as good as the Manchester derby, it will never be much inferior.

This is a tough battle for Manchester City.

However, Wan Sheng did not expect the game to be so difficult. Perhaps due to the just-passed Manchester derby, the team was not in good shape. A few good opportunities were wasted in the first half, but Bolton scored the first goal, and then, neither side scored the goal until the second half.

Seeing that the team was unable to break through the opponent's goal, Wan Sheng chose to substitution without hesitation. He sent Robbie Fowler, who was in poor condition in the last game. Unexpectedly, the surprise came soon. Fowler took advantage of a free kick in the third minute of the game and scored directly.

This goal came too suddenly!

Even Fowler himself did not expect that he could score so quickly, so he was a little stunned. His teammates who came to celebrate the goal reminded him, and then Manchester City began to celebrate the goal.

It's just equalizing the score, and there's nothing to celebrate.

The game started again soon, and Manchester City was of course not satisfied with the 1:1 score. The competition in the league is very tense now, and every point is very important. Bolton can accept the draw, but Manchester City cannot.

So after the game started again, Manchester City launched a fierce offensive, and they wanted to overtake the score to win, but Bolton was not easy to match. Their defense was very tight and decisive. In the last time, all the players retreated near the penalty area, making Manchester City's cooperation impossible to play.

As a result, Manchester City failed to score another goal until the last minute of the game. The final game ended 1:1 and the two sides tied.

Wan Sheng could only accept the draw helplessly.

He is still a little worried about the team's top position. The team is now the first in the league, but only pulls down the second Chelsea four points. A draw means that they will be caught up with two points, and the top position of the league will become very dangerous.

But what I never expected was that in another game played at the same time, Chelsea was unexpectedly tied by Charlton.

This is a real surprise!

Now Manchester City and Chelsea are almost always winning, and draws are difficult to happen. Unexpectedly, at the same time as Manchester City draws in this round, Chelsea also suffered a Waterloo in front of their own goal.

With Goodyanson's goal, Chelsea once led the lead. But the players played too slack, which ruined the good situation.

"We are not nervous enough," Mourinho said, dissatisfied with the team's underestimation of the opponent. "If we could fight like we were missing one person in the last 10 minutes, the result would be different. This game was not our normal performance."

At the same time, Mourinho did not let the referee go. He first questioned Carvalho's red card and made another verbal mocking the assistant referee who gave Crespo offside twice.

"I have different opinions on red cards," Mourinho said. "We have not had red cards in the past year and a half because the team has strict discipline. They play fairly and the players are clean. But in the past two games, Robben has not fouled but got red cards. Carvalho has another one today. In my opinion, it is either not a foul or a foul, but shouldn't be given a card."

"Charlton is very tough to fight. In addition, they are lucky to get huge help from the assistant referee. We arranged for people to watch TV broadcasts and immediately knew clearly that those times were not offside at all. Usually in those cases, players will get a one-on-one shot and have a great chance to score. But what can I do with such a penalty?"

Why did Mourinho get angry? Wan Sheng didn't care. Instead, he was very happy to see his competitors tied.

When the reporter interviewed, someone quickly asked him to talk about Chelsea's tie. Wan Sheng knew what Mourinho said, so he directly compared the Manchester derby that just passed. "We were also punished unfairly, and it would only be more serious. It was a penalty, but we overtook the score, and they could only complain about the referee, but it was useless."

"That's the difference between them and us. So we are the first in the league, and they can only be the second in the league."

When saying these words, the expression on Wan Sheng's face can only remind people of one word - gloating! (~^~)
