As the backbone of European football, especially Dutch football, as it was not yet professional in 1929, to the throne of European football champions in 1988, Eindhoven has created countless honors for the small city of Eindhoven and the Windmill Country (another name of the Netherlands).

For nearly a century, Philips Stadium has witnessed all the sweet, sour and bitterness of the Eindhoven Club.

After experiencing vicissitudes, this majestic stadium, which still stands on the northwest side of the center of Eindhoven, has accompanied the PSV Eindhoven Club through 90 years of ups and downs.

With the introduction of the Bosemann Act, all the teams in the minor leagues were greatly affected, and Eindhoven was one of them. Now they can only be regarded as a giant Dutch football team. Compared with the giant teams in the five major leagues, such as Barcelona and A Milan, it is nothing. Despite this, it must be mentioned that Eindhoven has trained many world superstars. The closest one is Van Nistruei who played for Real Madrid first. On the day of Van Niehl's 22nd birthday, he joined Eindhoven with 420,000 pounds, breaking the Dutch local transfer fee record at that time.

In Eindhoven, Van Nie had scored 31 goals and became the master scorer of the Dutch League in the current Dutch League. He lost to England's scorer Kevin Phillips by 2 points in the European Golden Boot Awards, but he became the Dutch footballer of that year.

Another superstar worth mentioning is the Brazilian star "Lone Wolf". Romario was selected by FIFA as one of the 125 best football players in football history in March 2014.

From 1988 to 1992, Romario played for Eindhoven and won the Dutch League One championship in 1989, 1991 and 1992 seasons.

The reason why Van Nie and Romario are mentioned is not to show that Eindhovendo is good at cultivating production stadiums, but during the two of them playing for Eindhoven, Eindhoven's league results, including in the Champions League, were quite good, but unfortunately the old calendar was in the old days.

Wan Sheng didn't care much about Eindhoven, he said bluntly, "They were really unlucky. They actually drew us."

Facing interviews from a large group of media from various countries, Wan Sheng seemed very relaxed, "This is my first time leading the team to play in the Champions League and I am not familiar with the knockout stage events. But I dare say that we have a good start!"

"You mean Eindhoven is very weak?" A Dutch reporter said dissatisfied.

Wan Sheng shrugged and didn't care at all, "I'm just telling the truth. I'm very confident in my team. Eindhoven is good, but among the opponents we may draw, they are very good. If we meet Eindhoven, we will be afraid, then I think we can only stop at the semi-finals."

The English media knew very well what Wansheng had, and it was not surprising that he said this.

Media reporters from other countries were quite surprised. Some of them interviewed Wan Sheng for the first time. Although they heard that this young Chinese was difficult to get along with, they would say so even if they didn't come first.

Then why is it Eindhoven, a wealthy and noble family in Europe!

Even if they have confidence in the team, they should at least be more implicit, not to mention that they did not see which point they had the advantage in Manchester City and Eindhoven played.

The next day, after the lottery ceremony, what Wan Sheng said in an interview with the media appeared on many reports, and the Dutch Telegraph published Wan Sheng's words wordlessly.

The Dutch Telegraph (dete1egraa) is the largest morning newspaper daily journal in the Netherlands. It was founded on January 1, 1893. It has a daily traffic volume of about 70,000 yuan and is headquartered in Amsterdam.

The Dutch Telegraph is affiliated to the Telecommunications Media Group and ranks 71st in the global newspaper volume in 2016 released by the World Press Association. It has considerable influence in the Netherlands and Europe.

When Wansheng's words in the media were reported by them in a high-profile manner, the Dutch and Europe all noticed Wansheng.

This is the result of the media's fueling, and it is also because Wansheng is already very influential.

The just-concluded Manchester derby shocked the entire England and even Europe. Wan Sheng couldn't help but attract attention. No matter what he said, the media would report it word by word, let alone Wan Sheng said such words against his opponent.

Soon Eindhoven coach Ronald Koeman quickly responded, and he was very dissatisfied with Wan Sheng's words. "If Manchester City thinks that meeting Eindhoven is a good sign and entering the quarterfinals will not be a problem, then that would be great. I like to deal with a proud opponent the most!"

This is just the beginning, Koeman continued to talk about Eindhoven's advantage. "Maybe he thought Manchester City had a good performance in the Champions League group stage in the British League, but I want to tell him that the Champions League knockout stage is different. This is a cruel battlefield with blood and blood. There will only be one winner in the end, and I will tell him these with practical actions."

Ronald Koeman was a big star in his player age. He once played for Barcelona and helped the Dutch team win the European Championship.

As the head coach, Koeman has not had much experience, but he has achieved results worth mentioning.

In January 2ooo, Koeman became the head coach of the Dutch Eredivisie team two years after retirement. By December of the following year, Koeman officially became the head coach of the Dutch Eredivisie giants Ajax, and led the team to 2oo2 years, 2oo4 years Eredivisie championship and 2oo2 years Dutch Cup championship.

After losing to Ausselle in the UEFA Cup in 25 years, Koeman left Ajax and replaced Trapatoni as the coach of Portugal Fica, leading the team to win the Portuguese Cup.

In coaching at Benfica, Koeman played the most famous "battle" that eliminated defending champion Liverpool in the Champions League. At that time, Koeman led Benfica to play two classic battles. After scoring with a set piece at home, he defended the game to death. When he was away from Anfield, he scored twice with sharp counterattacks, and finally eliminated defending champion Liverpool.

Last season, since Benfica was only third in Portugal, Koeman submitted his resignation to Benfica. He then took over Eindhoven's coaching post and successfully led the team to the top 16 of the Champions League. At the same time, their results in the league are also quite good, currently surpassing Ajax in the Eredivisie.

Because of his experience of eliminating Liverpool in Benfica and meeting Manchester City now, Koeman feels confident, "I have experience in beating the British team in the Champions League knockout stage. Now my team is stronger than Benfica. So I have more confidence. I don't know where the confidence of that young Chinese comes from, but my confidence is tangible!"

When Koeman said this, the Dutch media was happy.

In their eyes, Koeman was a former big star in the Netherlands and one of the outstanding coaches now. This was the first time that the young man led the team to play in the Champions League. In front of Koeman, what qualifications are he so crazy and arrogant?

Still ‘good sign’?

Drawing Manchester City is a good choice against Eindhoven!

But obviously, Koeman knows too little about Wansheng, and the Dutch media doesn't know much about Wansheng. When the Dutch media reporter put Koeman's words and his "experience" in front of Wansheng, Wansheng only smiled and said, "Don't you know that when I was coaching Derby, I led the team to beat Eindhoven in the League Cup." After that, he slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, I really wanted to win the League Cup that time. Thanks to Eindhoven, otherwise we might not have reached the final!"

These words made the Dutch media look dark.

They never expected that this would be the result. This young Chinese led the team to defeat Eindhoven? In the UEFA Cup, he also won the League Cup championship that year?

Is this really the case?

Soon some media reporters remembered that this was indeed true. Eindhoven was in the same group as Derby County. The two teams had a great fight of verbal battle, and Derby County did win the League Cup championship that year.

This is also Wansheng's European war experience.

So putting the experiences of the two together, Koeman led Benfica to eliminate British team Liverpool, while Wan Sheng led Derby County to directly defeat Eindhoven; Koeman now coached Eindhoven. Wan Sheng coached Manchester City, whose "experience" is better explained?

It's very obvious.

So the Dutch media stopped talking.

The 18th round of the British League is Manchester City's first league game after he took the top spot in the league.

Manchester City plays at home, but their opponents are not easy to deal with, that is Tottenham Hotspur from North London.

Tottenham Hotspur is the focus of England's transfers in the summer, and they "rive" with the Red Devils Manchester United. First, they grabbed two preys that Manchester United targeted, Berbatov and Jokola, and then grabbed the opponent's need to buy a midfielder and quarreled hard in their hearts, and sold the price of buying Carrick two years ago to Manchester United by nearly 7 times (1.86 million pounds).

Between buying two and selling one, Tottenham not only made one more profit, but also reached a balance of income and expenditure.

However, the transfer fee for the joining of ACTO, Delvet and Pikehart has not been announced. In addition, Chimbonda on the right, Tottenham Hotspur will definitely invest more than they earn.

This is related to the goal of Tottenham Hotspur club. A team that wants to compete in the Champions League will inevitably have some big moves.

Among the players introduced, the three-time Bulgarian Mr. Berbatov was the most eye-catching. He contributed 21 goals to Leverkusen 34 appearances last season. He is a killer with a stable goal rate and high-production. His interest in winning the two giants, Manchester United and Arsenal before the transfer is enough to show Berbatov's strength.

Jokola has also been watched by giants Chelsea and Manchester United. After baptism in Ligue 1 and the World Cup, he is unanimously optimistic that he can take over Carrick's team.

ACTO, Delvet and Parkhart can complement the team's roster.

Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer strategy is to supplement and strengthen the weakened position. Berbatov replaced Mido, Jokola replaced Karik, and Zimbonda’s arrival made up for the right side, but the overall skeleton did not change significantly. With Tottenham Hotspur’s strength and some supplements, many media believe that it is enough to compete for the league championship.

Tottenham Hotspur’s results also prove a lot.

The British League has been held for 17 rounds so far, with Tottenham Hotspur ranking first in the league with 9 wins and 5 draws. Arsenal tied Chelsea in the last round, and Tottenham Hotspur also took the opportunity to pass Arsenal by 1 point, now only trailing Chelsea, ranking fourth in the league.

The first and fourth in the league are still very eye-catching.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Yole believes they have the strength to challenge Manchester City away. "This is not impossible. No team can beat Manchester City so far, and I believe we can do it."

But Wan Sheng only smiled and said, "Then let the game explain the problem."

No one dares to say that a football game will definitely win, but against Tottenham Hotspur, Wan Sheng is still very confident. The team's best tactic is the controllable "kill" style of play. They like their opponents to play offensive football the most. Then Manchester City can take advantage of the stronger pressing ability to control the game scene, and gain an advantage in the near situation, and naturally score a goal, and the chance of winning will be greater.

In the match against Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City did not have any pressure.

Just now defeated Manchester United in the derby battle, and the players of Manchester City were full of fighting spirit and played very well in the game. As a result, at Manchester Stadium, Manchester City handed the answer with a 3:0.

"We performed very well, this is the perfect answer!" Wan Sheng said after the game.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Yole could only smile bitterly.

Yole originally thought that the team had a chance to defeat Manchester City, but once he got on the court and saw that the situation was controlled by Manchester City, he knew that the opportunity was much smaller.

I can only say that the tactics his team is too restrained by Manchester City’s tactics!

With the victory of this game, Manchester City continued to sit at the top of the league.

At the same time, they also received good news. Perhaps due to the loss of the derby, Manchester United lost to West Ham United by 1 goal away and lost a very valuable three-pointer.

In history, Manchester United lost the English championship at Upton Park twice, but Manchester United is not afraid of it. They have won 7 and drawn 4 times in the last 11 times. Their new coach, Kubishley, is also Ferguson's favorite opponent. The two have fought for 16 years, and Ferguson has not lost at once.

But the final result of this game was that West Ham "losed and lost positively", Reocock scored the only goal in the game, and Manchester United suffered a third league defeat this season and was also the first time away defeat.

After the final whistle sounded, West Ham's new coach Cobbishley blew his fist to celebrate, and the boss Magnusson was very happy, while Ferguson walked into the interview area with helplessness and regret. He frankly pointed out that there were problems with Manchester United's last kick.

"We played very well and created many scoring opportunities, but we should be able to do better in the final shot." Manchester United shot 24 times in the game, 14 more than their opponents, but all of them became "empty should not be the loser, but since it has become a fact, what Manchester United has to do next is to regain confidence and start over, and we must show our spiritual strength. This is the real symbol of the champion team, and Manchester United has proven to have this quality in the past."

7 days ago, Manchester United had two points advantage against Manchester City, but after losing the Manchester derby and being defeated by West Ham United, the points situation of the two teams completely reversed. Manchester City had 4 points advantage over Manchester United, and Manchester United was driven by Chelsea and ranked third in the UK. Until now, Manchester United has not been to Manchester Stadium or Stamford Bridge. They are already third in the league, which makes many people not optimistic about Manchester United.

After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson warned Manchester City 'not to be happy too early'. "For Manchester City today (the result) is very, very critical, but not for Manchester United. However, December is not the time to decide the title. There are many important games in the future."

"The league competition is very fierce now, and if they are not careful, they may lose their position." (To be continued.)
