v5 Chapter 86： Finalize transfer

The match between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic ended at 2: 2, and Manchester City's winning streak was ended. (Chapter source: Easy to read novels)

This is a result that many people did not expect.

In the previous league, Manchester City was too strong. Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, one after another, they all defeated. In the league, they can almost be described as unstoppable. Many media talk about Manchester City. In the next game, they thought that their winning streak wanted to end, and they had to play against Chelsea after Christmas, but what they did not expect was that a newly promoted team, Wigan Athletic did, and they stubbornly drew Manchester City. .

Although Manchester City remain undefeated, it is much easier to accept than winning straight.

At the end of the game, the disappointed look of Manchester City players on the field was revealed on their faces. They were very unwilling to draw, but they could not change the result.

As can be seen from the camera screen, Wan Sheng's face also showed helplessness. He even shrugged at the camera and grinned strongly. Sky TV commentator George Woodgate explained, "Wan Sheng must be against the game. The result was very disappointing. Their winning streak was ended. If another Chelsea victory, they have only one point left in the league. "

Soon another focus battle at the same time-Chelsea vs Fulham Derby also ended, and Chelsea defeated Fulham 3: 2 to take all three points.

Chelsea won the game very thrillingly. During the game, William Gallas and Lampard scored one goal each, and then McBride used Cech ’s low-level mistakes to pull back to the city. Obviously, there was no penalty for a handball foul, and then Hulgusen scored a goal kick to equalize the score, but Crespo's key goal helped Chelsea win again.

This is Chelsea's five-game winning streak after losing to Manchester United. So far this season, they have maintained a total of nine home wins. Interestingly, their rival, Fulham, the opponent in this game, has not yet won on the road. Nearly 17 confrontations since October 1979 have not defeated Chelsea.

The confrontation with Fulham also shows Chelsea's strength. Chelsea also caught up with two points at the same time as Manchester City's 'mistakes' lost two points, only one point away from Manchester City.

At the press conference after the game, Wan Sheng appeared on time. He told reporters, "I was surprised by the result of the game. I was surprised to see them scoring two consecutive goals in the second half. But this is football. Sometimes you You have to accept some unexpected things, which is the charm of football. If there is no suspense in every game, I think the bookmaker will definitely go bankrupt ... "He made a small joke and took the praise. In view of the opponent ’s performance, “Wigan ’s performance is very good, they ca n’t see it as a newly promoted team with no Premier League experience, especially in the second half. They performed so well, we have no psychological preparation at all. They played continuously. Scored two goals. "

"We are not in a state today, or careless, but I believe this will give us some reminders. Tell us that playing with any team is not a win. Don't carelessly every second, so as to get the best results. . "

The media reporters interpreted Wan Sheng's words, thinking that he was only saying 'official'. In fact, he must be very dissatisfied with the draw, but in fact, Wan Sheng did not have any dissatisfaction. All games can win.

So after returning to the dressing room. He did not criticize anyone, but praised several outstanding players such as Andy Cole. Then let everyone forget the game and pack things up to go back to Manchester-even if it doesn't matter if you lose. But he was not in a mood to watch his opponent here to celebrate the draw.

Wan Sheng ’s idea was actually very simple. This draw was an accident, and he let competitor Chelsea catch up with two points. The result is definitely very bad, but in fact, even if this game is lost, Derby County is still the league ’s first. First, Chelsea are still missing one league point.

He and the team both lost!

The only pity is that his 15-game winning streak task is difficult to complete, but this kind of "breaking history" streak task is already too difficult. It is already very good to get a ten-game winning streak. Nothing at all.

There is another reason why Wan Sheng doesn't care about failure. That's when he thinks it's time for failure.

There are so many games in a row that the team has a winning streak, so that every player has a lot of pressure. They think they ca n’t lose, even a draw. This pressure is also brought to the training. The doctor in the heart will help the player release the pressure.

A dedicated doctor in the heart estimates that he will not be able to work until Christmas, but now he can lose a game, the pressure on the players will be much less, and the tight nerves can also be relaxed.

In fact, Wan Sheng also thought about leading the team to a winning streak ... but that was too unrealistic!

Always thinking about creating miracles, often miracles are not created, but they will lose something. Now that the miracles are gone, the normal game, the pressure on the team will be less, the things that need to be worried are less, then the team's performance will also follow Come back to normal.

This is what Wansheng hopes to see.

As long as the team performs normally, then in the league championship competition, it is definitely not weaker than its opponent Chelsea, and it is very close to the goal of achieving the league championship.

As for other champions ... Look at it. After all, you can't be too greedy. Try to fight for it. If you try to fight for it, you may not get anything.

...

The next day, Wan Sheng gave the team a holiday, and the players could go home to prepare for Christmas, but on the third day, the team resumed training, because one day later they will usher in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, the opponent It's 'gunner' Arsenal.

Wenger's team is still an opponent that must be valued.

After a day of vacation, when the team resumed training, the shadow of failure was hard to find on them, everyone regained their smile, and training resumed their activity.

These make Wan Sheng very satisfied, such an atmosphere is beneficial to the team.

But leading the team training is the job of Diamares and others. He did n’t spend much time on the training ground, so he did his job-the most important job at present is to dig people ... Yes, Iraq Wan Crew.

After a week, Derby County had new news, and Ivan Crewe was listed for sale.

They have to do the same. Because Ivan Crewe and head coach Adrian Bosroyd are in the same position, but in such a situation, it is very difficult for Derbyshire to sell for a high price. Those clubs that are interested in Ivan Kru are all buying at a reduced price.

The highest bid is now Middlesbrough. McLaren seemed to want to strengthen the sidelines. Middlesbrough made a transfer fee of £ 3 million for Ivan Kru, and promised him a contract no less than Derbyshire.

It's a pity that Ivan Kro "has a heart", he only wants to trace Wan Sheng to Manchester City.

Manchester City has also bid for £ 3 million.

Many media are watching to see which club Ivan Kruh will choose. Most of them tend to Middlesbrough because Pierce and Wansheng are well known.

"Pierce will definitely not sell Ivan Klub to Manchester City because there are Wansheng there." The Guardian analyzed directly.

"Daily Mirror" said mockingly. "That Chinese wants to get the old disciples? It's a pity that Middlesbrough has better conditions, and Derbyshire is not willing to sell his players to the" enemy ". Ivan Crewe is destined to miss Manchester City.

At this time, in the Derby County club, Pierce was talking to Sam Rush about the transfer, but the atmosphere between the two was not very friendly, and even had a posture of quarreling.

"You said you want to agree to Manchester City's offer?" Pierce's face was unbelievable. "But the Chinese are in Manchester! They have taken Morris and Ziegler in the summer!"

Sam Rush looked at Pierce and just stated peacefully, "But Krue did not agree to go to Middlesbrough. The transfer is three-way. If he is not sold to Manchester City, then he can only stay on the team. "

"Even if I stay on the team. I won't sell the player to that **** Chinese!" Pierce said angrily.

“Ivan Krug ’s contract is less than a year old, do you want him to be a free agent?” Sam Rush laughed a little, “That ’s 3 million pounds, and I ca n’t get so much money in a year. , You can't let the club suffer losses for personal feelings. "

Pierce frowned, looking at Sam Rush, "What do you mean?"

"Because Wan Sheng left, our performance was affected. We did not achieve the expected gains. This season, we sold some key players such as Van der Vaart and gained some revenue. But with the current results, we will go to the next season. Our The income will become lower, and even only to maintain the balance of payments. If we fall into the second league, it means that we will have a lot of losses. This is not what Mr. Appleby wants to see. "Sam La Shi said, "Paul, you should know that, we can't afford the loss of 3 million pounds, so we have no choice but to sell him to Manchester City."

"It's not good to sell to other clubs, even if it's cheaper." Pierce gritted his teeth. "I paid for the difference!"

Sam Rush shook his head and asked rhetorically, "Do you think Crewe would agree to go to other clubs? Obviously, he just wanted to go to Manchester City."

Pierce thought about it, picked up the paper on the table, glanced at it, and fell to the ground, "Damn!"

But as Sam Rush said, he has no choice. After all, the Derby County club belongs to the gse group, but it is not his own. He does not have the right to complete autonomy.

...

Soon Ivan Crewe's transfer was negotiated.

Derbyshire and Manchester City went through a series of rashes, and the final transfer price was fixed at 3.4 million pounds. After all three parties signed, Ivan Crewe became a member of Manchester City.

In the afternoon, the official website of the Manchester City Club announced the news that Derby County player Ivan Kruk joined Manchester City for a transfer fee of 3.4 million pounds. However, this news did not pay much attention for a while, because Manchester City and Arsenal League Cup match.

This is the quarter-finals of the League Cup.

According to the rules of the English League Cup, only the semi-finals will be played in the host and guest games, so this is still a victory in the first game. To the advantage of Manchester City, this is the game at Manchester Stadium.

However, neither team attaches great importance to the game. After all, this is only the "Chicken Rib" League Cup, which doesn't make much sense at all.

Before the match, Wan Sheng expressed the team's weakness. "We just drew Wigan Athletic. The player's mentality will be affected. I think the game will be very difficult."

This is a rare low-key look for him.

Unexpectedly, the opponent Wenger is even more low-key, "We lost to them in the league, here is away, it is very unfavorable to us, I told my players that they can spend Christmas after the game, they all want to leave in advance , So, I think we want to win or need some luck. "

The French said with a bitter smile on his face.

No one knows what the two coaches said is true or false, but the mentality of the two sides is very contradictory. It is true that the League Cup is "chicken", but if you can win the championship, no team will refuse, now it is the quarterfinals. If you can win this game, you will be able to reach the semifinals, and then the final, so that after three games, you can win the championship.

However, it is in the case of winning all. Obviously, it is difficult to win all. On the contrary, if you lose the game, there will be no trouble with the League Cup. It is definitely very beneficial to lose three games.

In short, both sides have a kind of ambivalence about this game, so they have some ‘the best way to win, it does n’t matter if they ca n’t win’, and the result is mapped to the game.

The competition between the two sides is fierce, but in fact it is not fierce.

As a result, the game was very beautiful, because both sides were good at attacking teams, and the game started a fast-paced counterattack from the beginning.

Manchester City scored a goal in the 12th, 39th and 78th minutes respectively, while Arsenal scored one goal each in the first and second half.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Arsenal with a goal of 3: 2 and advanced to the next round of the League Cup ~ www.novelhall.com ~ After the game, Wenger and Wan Sheng shook hands politely. The French seemed to be completely indifferent to failure. But in front of the press conference, his words still expressed some dissatisfaction, "Congratulations on your victory, I look forward to seeing Manchester Derby in the semifinals."

This very common sentence is complicated to interpret.

The match between Manchester City and Arsenal is the last one. At the time of the two teams, the other games have ended. The finalists in the semi-finals are Manchester United, Blackburn and Wigan Athletic. Then, Manchester derby in the semi-finals is completely 'blessed. 'Man City draw to Manchester United.

Where is this blessing ... It's totally gloating!

But in the case of winning, Wan Sheng did not care about these, he just nodded and smiled.

Things were not as Wenger wished. That night, the FA had a lottery draw. Manchester City Chairman Waddell represented Manchester City to draw the semifinal opponent-Wigan Athletic.

That is to say, Wenger's Manchester Derby 'expect' may be delayed to the League Cup final. (To be continued)
