v5 Chapter 237： Widen the gap

As the backbone of European football, especially Dutch football, as little as the 1929 domestic professional football league champion, it was as big as 1988 to reach the top of European football-the European Champions League championship, Eindhoven in these nine For more than ten years, he has created countless honors for the small city of Eindhoven and the country of windmills (another name for the Netherlands). ↖, x.

For nearly a century, Philips Stadium has witnessed all the sweet and sour tastes of the PSV club.

After the vicissitudes of life, this majestic stadium still standing on the northwest side of the city center of Eindhoven has accompanied the psv Eindhoven club through more than 90 years of ups and downs.

With the introduction of the "Bossman" bill, all small league teams have been greatly affected. Eindhoven is also one of them. Now they can only be regarded as the giants of Dutch football. Compared with the giants of the five major leagues, for example For Barcelona and AC Milan, it's nothing. However, it must be said that Eindhoven has trained many world superstars. The closest is Van Nistelrooy, who first played for Real Madrid. On the day of Van Niel's 22nd birthday, he joined PSV with 4.2 million pounds, breaking the Dutch transfer fee record at the time.

In the first season of Eindhoven, Van Ni has scored 31 goals to become the current Dutch League goalscorer, losing to England runner-up Kevin Phillips by 2 points at the European Golden Boot Award, but he did Become the Dutch footballer of the 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 2004.

From 1988 to 1992, Romario played for PSV Eindhoven and won the Dutch League 1 championship for the team in 1989, 1991 and 1992 seasons.

The reason why Fan Ni and Romario are mentioned is not to show that Eindhovendo is good at cultivating production courts, but that during the two players playing Eindhoven, Eindhoven's achievements in the league are also included in The results of the Champions League are quite good, but unfortunately the old Huang Li.

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

Facing an interview with a large group of media from various countries, Wan Sheng seemed very relaxed. "I was the first time I led a team to play in the Champions League. I am not familiar with the knockout stage, but I dare say that we have a good start!"

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

Wan Sheng shrugged and didn't care at all, "I'm just telling the truth. I have confidence in my team. PSV is good. But of the opponents we might draw, they are very good. If we are all afraid of meeting Eindhoven, then I think we can only stop at the top 16.

The English press knew exactly what Wan Sheng was, and he was not surprised to say that.

Media reporters from other countries were quite surprised. Some of them were interviewing Wan Sheng for the first time. Although they heard that this young Chinese is difficult to get along with, they would not say so before they arrived.

So why is it Eindhoven, the great aristocrat in Europe!

Even if you have confidence in the team. At least a little more subtle, not to mention, they did not see Manchester City and Eindhoven playing, which point has an advantage.

————

the next day. After Wan Sheng ’s lottery ceremony, what he said in an interview with the media appeared on many reports. The Dutch “Telegraph” published Wan Sheng ’s words without any word.

The Dutch Telegraph (de-tef) is the largest daily newspaper in the Netherlands. Founded on January 1, 1893, it has a daily circulation of approximately 700,000 and is headquartered in Amsterdam.

The Dutch Telegraph is part of the Telecommunications Media Group. Ranked 71st in the global newspaper circulation in 2006 issued by the World Press Association, it has considerable influence in the Netherlands and Europe.

When Wan Sheng's speech in an interview with the media was reported by them in high profile, the eyes of the Netherlands and Europe noticed Wan Sheng.

This is the result of the media boosting, and because Wansheng is already influential.

The Manchester Derby just ended, shaking the whole of England and even Europe, Wan Sheng ca n’t do anything without attracting attention. No matter what he said, the media will report it literally, not to mention, Wan Sheng said this kind of targeting the opponent Words.

Soon Eindhoven coach Ronald Coman responded quickly. He was very dissatisfied with Wan Sheng's remarks, "If Manchester City thinks that encountering Eindhoven is a good sign, entering the quarterfinals is not a problem. If that ’s the case, that ’s really great, I like to deal with a proud opponent the most! ”

This is just the beginning. Coman continued to talk about Eindhoven's advantage. "Perhaps he thought Manchester City's performance in the Premier League and the Champions League group stage was very good, but I have to tell him that the Champions League knockout is different. The sparkling cruel battlefield, there will be only one winner in the end, and I will tell him this with actual actions. "

Ronald Coleman was a big star in the age of players. He used to play for Barcelona and also helped the Netherlands to win the European Championship.

As the head coach, Koeman has not much experience, but he has already made achievements worth mentioning.

In January 2000, after two years of retirement, Koman became the head coach of the Dutch League Waiters. By December of the following year, Koman officially became the manager of the Dutch giant Ajax and led the team to 2002 In 2004, the Dutch Champions League champion and the 2002 Dutch Cup champion.

After losing to Auxerre in the UEFA Cup in 2005, Coman left Ajax and replaced Trapattoni as the Portuguese Super League Benfica coach, leading the team to win the Portuguese Super Cup.

Coaching in Benfica, Coman played the most famous 'battle' is to defeat the defending champion Liverpool in the Champions League. At that time, Coman led Benfica in two classic battles. After scoring at home with a positioning ball, the whole game was dead. With a sharp counterattack to score twice, he eventually eliminated the defending champion Liverpool.

Last season, since Benfica ranked third in the Portuguese Super League, Koeman submitted his resignation to Benfica. Then he took over the pointer of Eindhoven and successfully led the team to the top 16 of the Champions League. At the same time, their performance in the league is also quite good. At present, Ajax is ranked first in the Dutch League.

It is because of the experience of eliminating Liverpool in Benfica, and now encountering Manchester City, Coman feels confident. "I have experience defeating the Premier League team in the Champions League knockout, and now my team is stronger than Benfica, so I am more confident. I do n’t know where the confidence of the young Chinese came from, but my confidence is real. ! "

When Koeman said this, the Dutch media were very happy.

In their eyes, Koeman was a former big star in the Netherlands and one of the outstanding celebrities now, and that young man was the first to lead a team to play in the Champions League. What qualifications does he have in front of the "experienced" Koeman? So crazy. So tugging?

Still ‘good sign’?

It's a good deal to draw Eindhoven to Manchester City!

However, it is clear that Koeman knows too little about Wansheng and the Dutch media does not know much about Wansheng. When the Dutch media reporter put Koman ’s words and his “experience” in front of Wansheng, Wansheng He only smiled and said, "Don't you know that when I was coaching Derbyshire. I led the team to defeat Eindhoven in the UEFA Cup". After he finished talking, he suddenly tapped his head and suddenly said. "Oh, by the way, I really wanted to win the UEFA Cup that time, really thanks to PSV. Or maybe we won't make it to the finals!"

The Dutch media with these words turned black.

How did they never expect such a result, this young Chinese led the team to beat Eindhoven? At the UEFA Cup? Won the UEFA Cup championship that year?

Is this really the case?

A reporter from the media soon remembered that this was indeed the case. Eindhoven and Derby County were also in a group. The two teams had a big battle of words. Derby County did win the UEFA Cup.

This is also Wan Sheng's experience in the European War.

Putting the experience of the two together, Koeman led Benfica to defeat the Premier League team Liverpool, Wan Sheng led Derby County directly defeated Eindhoven; now Koman coaches Eindhoven, and Wan Sheng coaches Manchester City ... ... whose two's "experience" is more illustrative?

Obviously.

So the Dutch media stopped talking.

————

The eighteenth round of the Premier League is Manchester City's first league match after taking the top spot in the league.

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

Tottenham Hotspur was the focus of the English team's transfer in the summer. They were "riveted" with the Red Devils Manchester United. They first snatched two Manchester United's prey-Berbatov and Zocora. Then he grabbed his opponent and had to buy the midfielder's heart and knocked the bamboo bar hard, selling the price of Carrick bought nearly 2 times two years ago (£ 18.6 million) to Manchester United.

Between buying two and selling one, Tottenham not only earned one more person, but also reached a break-even.

However, the joining fee of Ekto, Delvette, Pikehart, the transfer fee was not announced, plus Chimbonda on the right, Tottenham's investment must be more than the return.

This is related to the goal of Tottenham Hotspur, a team that is going to impact the Champions League will inevitably make a big move.

Among the introduced players, the three-time Bulgarian Mr. Berbatov is the most striking. He contributed 21 goals for 34 appearances for Leverkusen last season. He is a stable and productive killer with a scoring rate. He can win Manchester United before the transfer. The interest of the two giants, Arsenal, is enough to illustrate Berbatov's strength.

Zokola was also followed by giants Chelsea and Manchester United. After the baptism of Ligue 1 and the World Cup, he was unanimously expected to take Carrick's class.

Hector, Delvitt and Parker Hart can complement the team's lineup.

Tottenham Hotspur's transfer strategy is to supplement and strengthen the weakened position. Berbatov replaced Mido and Zocora replaced Carrick. The arrival of Zimbond made up the right road, but the overall skeleton No major changes have been made. Tottenham's strength, plus some supplements, many media believe that it is enough to compete for the league title.

Tottenham's results also proved a lot.

The Premier League has now carried out 17 rounds. Tottenham Hotspur has 9 wins and 5 draws, ranking first in the league's second legion. Arsenal tied Chelsea in the last round. Tottenham also took the opportunity 1 point past Arsenal, now only fourth behind Chelsea in the league.

The first in the league and the fourth in the league are still very compelling.

Tottenham Hotspur coach Joel believes that they have the strength to challenge Manchester City on the road. "This is not impossible for us. Up to now, no team can beat Manchester City. I believe we can do it."

But Wan Sheng responded only with a smile, "Then let the game explain the problem."

No one dares to say that a football match will definitely win, but against Tottenham Hotspur, Wan Sheng is still very confident. The team ’s best tactics is the controllable 'killing' style of play. Playing offensive football, then Manchester City can take advantage of the stronger ability to **** and control the game scene. In the recent situation, the advantage is obtained, and the chance of natural goals and victory is greater.

Against Tottenham, the Manchester City team did not have any pressure.

Having just defeated Manchester United in the Derby Wars, Manchester City's players are full of fighting spirit and played very well in the game. As a result, at Manchester Stadium, Manchester City handed out the answer with a 3: 0.

"Our performance is very good, this is the perfect answer!" Wan Sheng said after the game.

In response, Tottenham Hotspur coach Joel could only smile bitterly.

Joel originally thought that the team had a chance to defeat Manchester City, but as soon as he saw the situation controlled by Manchester City, he knew that the chances were much smaller.

It can only be said that the tactics his team is good at are too restrained by Manchester City's tactics!

With the victory of this game, Manchester City continue to sit in the first position in the league.

At the same time they also received good news, perhaps due to the loss of Derby, Manchester United lost 1 goal away to West Ham United, lost a very valuable three points.

————

Historically, Manchester United lost the Premier League title in Upton Park twice, but Manchester United is not afraid of it. Nearly 11 times, the Red Devils have won 7 games and 4 draws without losing. Their new coach Kubisli is also Ferguson ’s favorite opponent. In the 16 years of the war between the two, Ferguson did not lose once.

But the final result of this game was West Ham's "negative and negative", Leo-Cork scored the only goal in the game, Manchester United suffered the third league defeat this season and also the first away defeat.

After the final whistle sounded, West Ham ’s new coach Kubisli threw a punch to celebrate, the boss Magnuson was elated, and Ferguson walked into the interview area with a helpless and regretful expression. problem.

"We played very well ~ www.novelhall.com ~ created a lot of scoring opportunities, but in the final shot this link should be able to do better." Manchester United 24 shots, 14 more than the opponent, but all It became an "air bomb", "We should not be a loser, but since it has become a fact, what Mann wants to do is to regain confidence and start again, we must show spiritual strength. This is the true sign of the championship team. In the past, Manchester United has proven to have this quality. "

7 days ago, Manchester United still had 2 points advantage over Manchester City, but after losing Manchester Derby and defeated by West Ham United, the points situation of the two teams was completely reversed. Manchester City had 4 points advantage over Manchester United. Manchester United Chelsea also surpassed and ranked third in the Premier League. Manchester United has not yet visited Manchester Stadium and Stamford Bridge. They are already the third in the league, which makes many people not very optimistic about Manchester United.

After the game, Manchester United manager Ferguson warned Manchester City 'Don't be too happy', "Today Manchester City's (results) are very, very important, but not for Manchester United. But December is not the time to decide where the championship will belong. Many important games. "

"The current league competition is fierce. If they are not careful, they are likely to lose the top position." (To be continued.)
