v5 Chapter 364： Master Degree

The next day, Wu Haibo finished his work and returned to China by plane. Wan Sheng also continued to lead Manchester City in the league.

In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Blackburn away.

Mark Hughes led the team for 3 years. Blackburn's record showed an upward trend. It only ranked 16th in the first season, and jumped to 7th one year later. Last season, it was slightly affected by injuries and the European War. It slipped to 10th place, but there was not much difference from 6th place Tottenham Hotspur.

The media believes that "Mark Hughes has gradually turned Blackburn into a solid mid-stream team."

Last summer, Blackburn made 7 ins and 9 outs, and the blood exchange was very large. This year Mark Hughes chose another way. So far, 3 ins and 2 outs. In the hustle and bustle of the Premier League transfer market, Blackburn appeared very quiet.

There is also the same place as a year ago, Blackburn once again strengthened the striker, bought Paraguayan striker Santa Cruz from Bayern, and the Dutch European Youth champion Riggest.

As can be seen from Blackburn ’s transfer, head coach Mark Hughes is still not very satisfied with the team ’s efficiency in scoring 50 goals in 38 games last season.

In order to strengthen the ability to score, it is natural to buy strikers.

Spending 3.5 million pounds to buy Santa Cruz is a bit of a gambling component. Santa Cruz is a star player in Paraguay. When he came to Bayern Munich before, the value was more than that, but in Bayern Munich, Santa Cruz did not perform well. In 155 games, he only scored 31 goals. The efficiency is not high. What is more terrible is his injury. The illness has always been a big problem for Santa Cruz.

However, fans are very confident in the vision of Mark Hughes. The South African striker McCarthy, introduced last year, overtook C-Ronaldo and won the bronze boots. The number of goals was second only to Chelsea forward Drogba.

So there are two players Blackburn needs to pay attention to. One is McCarthy, the bronze boot winner last season.

He squeezed out a position in the competition between Drogba and Ronaldo. Mourinho almost took him to Stamford Bridge. Unfortunately, Abramovich's "cost-saving" policy prevented South Africans from entering the giants.

The newly introduced Santa Cruz also needs to be aware that in the era of African killers rampant in the Premier League. Santa Cruz's handsome appearance is very eye-catching, and his attack power is good.

Many people think that Santa Cruz was only troubled by the injury and failed to fully play in Bayern Munich.

When Manchester City are going to play Blackburn. Naturally, you need to pay attention to these two strikers. In the view of Wansheng, the combination of McCarthy and Santa Cruz is still very strong, so before the game. He specifically told the team's defense, don't let the opponent easily find opportunities.

Only with defense can there be victory. Manchester City are very good at playing fast-breaking football, but they are also afraid of the opponent's surprise attack.

But when the game started, Wan Sheng smiled bitterly.

Many media said that 'the Premier League team can't be underestimated', as it really is, Mark Hughes did not arrange to compete with Manchester City's offensive ability. Blackburn started a tough fight in the first minute, and A solid defensive counterattack.

Manchester City worked hard for a half. It also failed to break through the Blackburn Gate.

In the first minute of the second half, Blackburn had a very good performance. They continued to cooperate in the Manchester City half. McCarthy shot a very powerful shot outside the penalty area. Wang Xiaolei was blocked from sight and failed to react for the first time. , Blackburn took the lead.

"McCarthy"

"Goal !!"

"McCarthy scored a long shot from outside, he helped Blackburn lead Manchester City!"

Seeing Blackburn lead, local fans were all excited and cheered.

In the Premier League, teams that can lead Manchester City are rare. The lead in the second half allowed them to see the hope of winning. Blackburn fans were very excited. They cheered for the team loudly in the stands.

Manchester City were unwilling to be led by Blackburn, after which they launched a large offensive. The situation completely suppressed Blackburn.

But it takes more strength and more luck to score. In the next 40 minutes, Manchester City failed to score.

Just when the game was about to end, Manchester City finally had a breakthrough.

In an attack, Manchester City launched a continuous coordination at the front of the penalty area. After Morris suddenly picked up the left side of the penalty area, Darren Bent shot with a leg and the football flew directly into the goal.

1: 1.

At the end of the game, Manchester City tied the score.

"The goal was scored ... 1: 1, Manchester City finally tied the score with Darren Bent's goal ..."

The tone of the Ewood Park stadium commentator is very regrettable. As a stadium commentator, of course he supports Blackburn, but even after the game started, he saw that Blackburn played well, he never thought Blackburn had a chance to win .

After Blackburn scored in the second half, he saw hope and once thought Blackburn would win.

But in the end Manchester City tied the score.

If the goal is conceded and then scored, a draw against Manchester United is almost equal to victory, but Blackburn took the lead to score, until the game was finally scored by Manchester City, it feels completely different.

"With just a few more minutes, Blackburn can win the game ... what a pity ..."

But Blackburn must accept this result.

All the Manchester City players are not excited, and no win is a failure for them. Although there is no draw, Manchester City is now strong and can almost be described by sweeping the Premier League. Many Manchester City players think so, even with Blackburn. A little depressed.

However, as the team's head coach, Wan Sheng did not have much thought.

"This is a good thing."

At the end of the game, he said to Bergkamp, ​​"We have always won, everyone will be under pressure, and we will draw a round. Instead, it will wake us up. There are no weak players in the Premier League. We did not play well in this game. It ’s not surprising that I played to a normal level, evened, and even lost. "

After returning to the locker room at the end of the game, Wan Sheng did not immediately attend the press conference, but took the opportunity to gather everyone and said, "I hope you can learn from the game. In the Premier League, we are not a must win. Like today's opponent, Blackburn, such a team is enough to challenge us. If we want to play well, we can't underestimate any opponent! "

After the four rounds of the Premier League, there is a truce period of more than ten days, which is also a period of headache for many famous coaches-International Competition Day.

Wan Sheng also encountered this problem.

Before coaching Derby County or just starting to coach Manchester City, the number of players on the national team is not large. After two seasons, it is different. Many players on the team have been focused on by the national teams, so they are one by one. All of them entered the national team.

Wang Xiaolei and Sun Jihai are players of the Chinese national team.

The four absolute main players in the back line, Dunn is a member of the Irish national team, Leicester entered the England team, Kopel Ferreira was selected to the Portuguese team, and Reto Ziegler has already entered the Belgian national team.

In the frontcourt, Morris and Darren Bent all entered the England team. David Silva and Torres belong to the Spanish team.

Elano Bloomer is also a member of the Brazilian team. Fortunately, in the regular season, the Brazilian team will not call for European players, and Elano Bloomer does not need to fly in Europe and South America.

Even if ‘leftover’ one Elano Bloomer, Manchester City still have 10 ‘nationals’ and can almost make up a team.

So International Match Day is enough to make Wan Sheng have a headache. Others are better. Players like England and Spain are not far away even if they go to the national team.

Wang Xiaolei and Sun Jihai are very special.

The Chinese national team does not seem to consider the ‘distance problem’ of the players at all. In a warm-up match, the European players are also called back. From time to time, the status of any player will be affected.

Wan Sheng was quite dissatisfied with this. "If I don't know, I thought my players were going to the World Cup! But I also thought that the World Cup was last year and the Asian Cup was just over."

This sentence made many European reporters completely unintelligible, but Chinese reporters understood it. They thought Wan Sheng was talking about Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei.

The two returned to China to make an 8-hour flight. Together with other videos, it took a day to gather with China for training. After that, they had to rest and jet lag. Then they would train and race, and they would return to Manchester in two days ... … This ups and downs is really acceptable.

After going through this 'Teng Teng', how many states can be imagined, no wonder Wan Sheng will complain publicly.

On International Competition Day, Manchester City did not do well in training and the entire team took two days off.

Taking advantage of the two-day holiday, Wansheng went to London.

As early as June, Wan Sheng ’s ‘Sports Medicine’ master ’s degree at University College London has been applied. Wan Sheng has been busy and has no time to go to London.

The degree certificate was supposed to be mailed in, but Professor Ben-Ho-Kwah told him to have time to come and take the advantage of the holiday Wansheng.

To University College London, Wan Sheng went directly to Professor Ben-Ho-Kwah.

"You are here, Wansheng."

Ben-Ho-Kwah only looked up at Wan Sheng, and then bowed his head to keep busy with his own affairs.

Wan Sheng knew the old man ’s work habits and found a place to sit down. He picked up a cup of instant coffee and waited for a cup of coffee ~ www.novelhall.com ~ When half of it was drunk, Ben-Ho-Kwah put down Work, came over with a certificate.

"This is your master's degree certificate."

Wan Sheng took it, glanced at him, and said, "Thank you."

"You don't seem to care at all."

Wan Sheng smiled, "I'm not looking for a job based on this."

"The same is said, but this is your success for several years." Ben-Hawker also laughed.

"No, Huo Ke." Wan Sheng said, "My achievements in several years are all in my head, or, as well as those in the newspaper, the certificate is only proof."

Ben-Huo Kehua said helplessly, "Well, then I should say, you don't care about this at all, but the school should be proud of being a talented student like you?"

"Hey ..."

Wan Sheng smiled, but he dare not say so. (To be continued.)
