Chapter 405 Planning
Carlos' goal was also the last one.
6:0, Manchester City slaughtered the Glasgow Rangers at Manchester Stadium with six goals.
After this game, no one questioned Manchester City's status in Group E anymore.
Four teams in the Champions League e-group, including four championships in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Premier League and Scottish Premier League. After the four rounds, Manchester City ranked first in the group with an absolute advantage of 3 wins and 1 draw. They completely took the position of "boss".
The British media said happily after the game, "Manchester City's results also prove that the level of the English league is far superior to other leagues."
The media's "other leagues" naturally refer to Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Scottish Premier League, but they are happy to see the scope covered by their words. If everyone thinks that the Premier League has surpassed all leagues including Serie A and La Liga, they will be happier.
The media's "ambiguity" statement has nothing to do with Manchester City.
After the game, Wan Sheng came to the press conference with a smile. He didn't mind sprinkling a handful of salt on the wounds of the Glasgow Wanderers who "provoked himself".
"After this game, I hope they can know that the Champions League is not a team that can achieve good results..."
Smith, who had just arrived at the venue, almost couldn't help but rush forward to perform "press conference violence" when he heard Wan Sheng's words, but probably to measure his old health. Facing Wan Sheng, who was only 30 years old, he should only humiliate himself. He could only clench his fists and sit in his seat without saying a word.
Later, the media asked questions again, and he just said some "manic words" and had no attitude of interviewing and cooperating at all.
In Group e, Manchester City ranks first in the group, which is actually no big deal.
At the end of the Champions League group draw, many people thought that Manchester City might become the first in the group.
Manchester City was the Premier League champion last season. The team's strength is there, and the only Ligue 1 champion Lyon can compete with Manchester City in Group E is the only Ligue 1 champion.
The Bundesliga champion Stuttgart is not optimistic at all. Many people think that Stuttgart can win the championship more because of the chaos and decline after Bayern Munich left Barack. It is not because of how good Stuttgart performed. In other words, Stuttgart is still Stuttgart, and even if they win the Bundesliga championship, their strength has not increased.
Sure enough, as the media speculated, Stuttgart performed outrageously poorly. After the four rounds of the Champions League group stage, they lost four consecutive games and scored 0 points, and were eliminated in advance.
They became the first team to be eliminated in the Champions League group stage.
German media expressed their opinions, believing that Stuttgart's Champions League results have shamed German football. The Kicker criticized, "The Bundesliga champions have been defeated in all four rounds of group stages when they arrived at the Champions League arena? Is this Stuttgart's performance poorly, or is it the decline of German football?"
There is no question of the decline of German football. Biography immediately expressed his opinion that the strength of German players is still good, such as Manchester City, with a young German genius Ozil. The German national team has many stars and geniuses, both the old lineup and the youth team.
But no matter what, Stuttgart's results still make the Germans feel very unhappy.
Throughout European media, the competition in the Champions League e Group was not unexpected.
The only thing that unexpected is the Glasgow Wanderer.
Glasgow Rangers' 2 wins and 1 draw in the first three rounds is really conspicuous. They even squeezed the Ligue 1 giants Lyon into the third place in the group.
But after the 4th round, the Glasgow Rangers were not in good shape, and they were still second in the group. But they only had one more point advantage than Lyon.
Stuttgart's two consecutive games have made Lyon's points look good.
What we want to talk about is Manchester City's big victory. Facing the equally strong Glasgow Rangers, Manchester City scored a 6-0 victory, which made the whole of Europe alert to Manchester City.
Everyone knows that Manchester City is difficult to deal with, but this victory really makes many potential opponents feel heartbroken. They think that it is definitely not easy for their team to win against the Glasgow Rangers, and Manchester City demonstrated their extraordinary cooperation and the players' superb technical abilities in the game.
Italy's "Sports of Milan" issued a vigilant voice, "We must face Manchester City!"
"Last season, Milan defeated this team head-on, but we can still think of the battle at San Siro Stadium. That Manchester City is no less than Milan. Now they are performing better than last season."
"If our team meets Manchester City, we must be careful and be careful. It is definitely not easy to defeat this Manchester City."
"They may already be the most powerful contender for the Champions League championship!"
Spanish media have also expressed a similar view, saying that Manchester City will become Barcelona's most powerful competitor in the Champions League.
Not only the media, but also the adjustments to the odds of European bookmakers to the championship competitions of various teams also prove this.
After Manchester City and Glasgow Rangers match, Manchester City's championship odds have been adjusted to be equivalent to Barcelona.
This proves that Manchester City has been favored by more people.
However, Wan Sheng was disdainful of the remarks of media in other countries. When a reporter interviewed this, he said something that made the British media very happy, "I am very happy to see those foreign journalists recognize our strength. But I think that in the UEFA Champions League this season, our biggest competitor comes from home, not abroad."
This sentence made the British media feel beautiful.
After many people analyzed Wan Sheng's words, they came to a conclusion that Wan Sheng believed that this season's Champions League would belong to English football, and it would be difficult for other countries' giants, such as Milan and Barcelona to achieve good results.
Although media from other countries felt very unhappy after listening to Wan Sheng's words, they did not refute it as soon as possible. The main reason is that several Premier League teams have performed quite well so far.
After four rounds of games, Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City, all three teams can guarantee to get a qualifying place for the quarterfinals.
So the British media happily began to make various reports, overwhelming news about praising their own teams, just as if English football has dominated the whole world.
They selectively forgot the poor results of the England national team in the European Championship qualifiers - McLaren's team is on the verge of being eliminated in the European Championship qualifiers.
After playing the Champions League group stage with Glasgow Rangers, the fourth lap of the England League Cup was followed, which was equivalent to the last 16 match.
Manchester City's opponent is Bolton.
According to the English League Cup system, the top eight teams in the Premier League only started to participate in the third lap. So when the top 16 stage, the opponent they encountered would not be the top eight teams in the league. Bolton is not the top eight teams in the league, but he is one of the strongest among other teams.
Manchester City will meet Bolton, and it can be said that their luck is not very good.
From Bolton's perspective, their luck is also outrageous.
Now every team in the Premier League doesn't want to meet Manchester City because Manchester City is too strong, just like the comment from The Sun, "If any team can beat Manchester City, it will definitely be big news. Even in the League Cup!"
Almost no one expects Bolton to beat Manchester City.
Even Bolton didn't have this idea. In fact, they were not in the mood to compete with Manchester City because their performance in the league was ridiculously poor. In the first 12 rounds of the league, they only won one game, drew four games, and lost all the remaining games.
Bolton has no strength in the first two seasons. They are ranked last in the league and need to work hard to relegate.
So when they meet Manchester City in the League Cup, they are unwilling to fight, and that will not be of any benefit to them.
So the results of the game can be imagined.
Although Wan Sheng adopted a large-scale rotation, Manchester City finally defeated Bolton 2-0 away and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the League Cup.
After the League Cup, the 13th round of the league will be followed.
Manchester City's opponent is Portsmouth.
As the game began, Wan Sheng did not make any targeted preparations.
As a head coach, if you want to lead the team to win the championship, you must formulate long-term strategies. Until Christmas, Manchester City will only play against the small club, and Manchester City will also set short-term goals.
"Our goal is to try to open up more gaps in the league before Christmas!"
After gathering everyone in the team, Wan Sheng said seriously. "For the next period of time, our schedule will be very good. So we need to take the league more seriously and strive to get more points at this stage so that we will become relaxed after Christmas."
"No one of you hopes that by then, we will be overwhelmed by the intensive schedule, right? I think, yes, no one wants that, the lessons from last year are still vivid in my mind. I hope everyone can concentrate and try to play every round of the game as well. I hope that at Christmas, some media will say, 'There is no suspense for the Premier League championship'."
If the outside media hears Wan Sheng's words, they will definitely be shocked. This young Chinese actually wants to widen the points gap before Christmas?
But Manchester City players feel nothing. After analyzing Manchester City's next schedule, they will also know why Wan Sheng said that.
In the 13th round of the Premier League, Manchester City's opponent is Portsmouth, and they will usher in a relegation state.
In the fifteenth round, Manchester City ushered in last season's relegation team Wigan Athletics.
Portsmouth, Reading, and Wigan Athletics, all three teams are difficult to pose a threat to Manchester City.
Then there is Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur is good, but in the past two years, they have lost to Manchester City almost every game. Their football style is completely restrained by Manchester City. The two teams play against each other, and Tottenham Hotspur's chance of winning is very low.
After Tottenham Hotspur, Bolton, who worked hard to relegate, followed by the last game before Christmas, with the competition with Aston Villa.
Looking at the above teams, except for Aston Villa, who is slightly threatening, other teams are almost always against Manchester City, so Wan Sheng talked about winning more points, which was not unexpected at all.
If we can get all the points before Christmas, Manchester City will obviously have an advantage in the league championship competition, because other teams, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, etc., have big battles to deal with, and their schedule is much more difficult than Manchester City.
