Chapter 191 October

It is not the first time that Wansheng has won the best of the month, but the best in September is still very happy because this award is very valuable in September.

The English team's season started in August, but in August, there were only a few league games at the end of the season and a "warm-up match" similar to the Community Shield Cup, which was also the beginning of the league. Many teams performed very much, and even giant teams could hardly have a good start.

This situation has changed a lot in September.

Strong teams begin to perform, and weak teams will also restrain their 'momentum'. It can be said that in September, the basic situation of a season will have a framework. If a team can still maintain its strength in September, the performance of the whole season will not be too bad. On the contrary, teams that perform poorly in September often lose the qualification to compete for the league championship.

Of course, what we are talking about here is the teams that are qualified to compete for the championship, and those teams that are not qualified to compete for the championship are not included.

Teams at the end of the league rankings always have a chance to improve their rankings because of one or two games by chance, mainly because their competitors performed poorly, while the teams ahead are different. Just like the competition between Manchester City and Chelsea last season, they often make a mistake in a game and may be directly squeezed out of the top spot by their competitors. This cruel competition will keep a team in a tense state, and it may also affect the state of the subsequent game. But no matter what, the best value of the Premier League in September is very high, which also has the intensive relationship between September's events, four league games, two Champions League games, and one League Cup. Even teams that adapt to the Premier League environment will find it difficult to stick to this kind of schedule.

From the perspective of the entire team, winning the best means that Manchester City is in good shape overall, and this season is still a strong contender for championships in various events. On the other hand, for the honor of a football coach, the best of September is also the most valuable "best of the month". This means that the team he led has a good start. There is a saying in China that says, "A good start is half the success." This is also common abroad. Otherwise, I would not even be able to play the start well, and I still expect a big comeback in the next season?

There are many head coaches who are hyped because they cannot lead the team at the beginning!

When many people discovered that after September, Manchester City and Manchester United had the same points in the league, won two Champions League games and won a League Cup interspersed in the middle, they were all surprised by Manchester City's condition.

The media in Manchester began to shout, "This season's English football belongs to Manchester!"

This statement is not an exaggeration at all.

There was Chelsea last season. But so far this season, Chelsea is in good shape, but it is still much worse than last season's total victory, so they fell to third place, leaving the first place to Manchester United and Manchester City, the enemy in the same city, and then Manchester's football occupied the entire Premier League.

As a Manchester City man, of course you should also pay attention to your mortal enemy Manchester United.

In the first two seasons, Wan Sheng did not play Manchester United's important opponent, of course. Even though his relationship with Manchester United is very bad, it is a fact that Manchester United is unable to compete for the league championship. The two are not direct competitors, but now they are different. Not to mention that coaching Manchester City and Manchester United have become mortal enemies. Manchester United's strength this season is also a must. Manchester City's performance is quite good, but Manchester United is not bad at all.

Wansheng's "September Best" is a bit hydrating, because Manchester United and Manchester City have the same results - 3 wins and 1 draw in the league, winning two Champions League games and one League Cup.

The reason why Ferguson failed to win the September Best may be related to Wan Sheng being a young man and Manchester City are highly anticipated. In addition, one thing that cannot be ignored is that Manchester United has many supporters in the entire England range, but they have more enemies!

Before 2003, Manchester United almost dominated the Premier League, which is their honor. It is the club's glorious history, but for other clubs, it must have no good feelings for Manchester United. In particular, Ferguson's strong character has caused him to provoke many people in the English football circle. People need to affirm the achievements Ferguson has led Manchester United, but many people are also disgusted with Manchester United because they have taken too many honors. In comparison, Wan Sheng's personality is also strong, but he is almost only against those hostile media and always in front of others.

It is to keep a smile, which makes people feel very close and peaceful. In addition, he is very young, which makes people like it much more than Ferguson. So Wan Sheng won the September Best, and Ferguson could only say dissatisfiedly, "Does the Premier League champion last season be treated with special care?" Of course, except for those diehard media who absolutely support Manchester United, others ignored it at all, because there is only one best of the month, and it is impossible to send him one more because Ferguson said one. Even if his influence in English football is strong, it is not enough.

With this September's best of the month, Manchester City's competitiveness in the new season has also been recognized.

It is obvious that British bookmakers and European bookmakers have adjusted the odds of Manchester City winning the Premier League and the European Champions League championship respectively. The former is better. Although Manchester City is not very optimistic, it is also a team that is capable of competing for the championship. They are only slightly higher than Manchester United and Chelsea’s odds, but are still lower than Arsenal and Liverpool. The latter is different. Manchester City has always been unpopular in the Champions League. As the Premier League champion, the ranking of the championship is also among the top ten. However, Manchester City’s odds of winning are directly reduced to 9.3 in 1, surpassing Liverpool and becoming one of the ten most promising teams to win the championship.

At the same time, Wan Sheng's ability to lead the team has also been affirmed.

Winning the Premier League is no longer uncommon for Wan Sheng. He had already done it when coaching Derby County, but in European competitions, a League Cup champion is not enough, but the away victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage has proved a lot of things. Just after that game, Beckenbauer commented, "This young man will become the most promising head coach in the next twenty years!" His ability to lead the team has been recognized by many European footballers.

Now no one has ever questioned Wansheng's level anymore.

Perhaps some stubborn people still have doubts about whether Wan Sheng is the world's top head coach, but he has successfully entered the circle of "world-class head coach", which is an absolutely amazing honor for a young coach under the age of 30.

Wan Sheng once again conquered many people with his results this season.

Those who once supported him were also very pleased to see Wan Sheng succeed because it proved that they had a good vision. "Look at him, when he was in the second division, I thought he could do it, and now he succeeded!"

They are proud of this.

However, Wan Sheng personally thinks that nothing is wrong. He thinks that his success is inevitable. This is a firm belief. At the same time, he believes that he is not really successful now. Compared with those top coaches full of honors, he still lacks many championships.

He still has to continue moving forward.

...

The September game ended. The October game followed.

As the head coach, you must have a global perspective. When October comes, you must start looking at the schedule of the entire October and analyze those games that must be paid attention to, which games can be rotated appropriately to allow some main players to rest.

This is the work that Manchester City must do at the moment.

The FA Cup has not started yet, but Manchester City has to fight in the third line. The league and the Champions League must be fought hard. Although the League Cup is useless. And it has won the championship last season, it is of course good to be able to make further progress. If it is really calculated, Manchester City does not have many games, but the key is that every game needs to be taken seriously, and the victory in each game is extremely important. Therefore, the pressure on the entire team will increase and they will feel nervous about the game. In this case, appropriate rotation is necessary to allow players to rest. This is why many professional footballers judge whether a team is likely to win the championship. First, we need to look at the depth of the bench, but the main lineup is strong. It is difficult to support a season, and it is impossible for all players to play every game well. The depth of the bench is also necessary. At this point, Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United are a little worse. Because of this, Wan Sheng pays more attention to rotation work.

Fortunately, the next game is easy to arrange, because the October schedule is rare and very loose.

Three league games, one Champions League.

This is an overview of all Manchester City's matches in October.

On October 14, in the eighth round of the league, Manchester City played against Sheffield United at home.

On October 18, on the third day of the Champions League group stage, Manchester City will play against La Liga giants Real Madrid at home.

On October 21, Manchester City challenged Wigan Athletic away.

Next is October 30th, Manchester City will face Middlesbrough at home.

Although there are only four games, we cannot concentrate all of them, especially the first three games must be the main and secondary. Three consecutive games between 14, 18, 21, three or four days apart, will still make the players tired. Even with the help of the football training master system and the players will play the whole game several times in a row, it will still make them feel tired. This aspect is not solved by the football training master's task system. Maybe Ms. Dina McGovern can have a way to solve some problems, but Wan Sheng cannot rely on him all. Psychological counseling is not omnipotent, so rotation is still very important.

In these three games, Wan Sheng is interested in the Champions League and Real Madrid, and then the match against Wigan and Sheffield United, which allows several main players to rest appropriately and reserve physical fitness to compete with Real Madrid.

Sheffield United is not a strong team. Even if they send a substitute in the first half, Wan Sheng is confident in the team. Although it is not 100%, for football games, an opportunity of 80 is enough.

In comparison, the match against Real Madrid is very important.

One of them is the venue issue - this is a home game. At Manchester Stadium, the opponent must not be arrogant, especially Real Madrid's representatives have different meanings. Winning this century's giants will make the whole team's morale formation and make everyone more confident in the Champions League.

In addition, the third game of the group stage is also very important. As long as you win this game, the team will basically qualify. In some games in the future, the team can choose to give up. Without the pressure of qualifying in the group, the team can also reduce the burden.

The subsequent match with Wigan Athletics depends on the situation.

If the team is in good shape, it is also possible to send all the main players, because there will be two days off in the future, and players can take appropriate rest. If they are not in good shape, they can only let the half-main lineup compete in the previous game. Wigan Athletics was quite strong last season and its performance has fluctuated greatly this season, but it is certain that it is not easy to win away games. In particular, some media also speculate the game as a "March derby in the Manchester Region (Wigan Athletics is also a team in the Manchester Region)", so there must be some attention to the game.
