Just as the British media were all giving praise to Manchester City's undefeated record, Manchester City did not have time to reminisce about their achievements. After returning to Manchester, the whole team was focused on training.
This is Wan Sheng's request.
In January, Wansheng's training plan arrangement had only one item-resume training.
Physical recovery training, state recovery training, all training is related to ‘recovery’, because Manchester City has 8 games to play in January!
Four-line combat is not a joke ...
The league with Newcastle United in the past is just the beginning of January. After that, there are two FA Cups, two League Cups and three rounds of leagues. The intensive schedule of a total of 8 games in a month has left the team without excitement. Mindful, everyone knows what they are facing.
Wan Sheng did the ideological work for the team, he said, "I know that each of you want to relax for a period of time, even one day, two days ... Back home to accompany his girlfriend, accompany his wife and children, accompany his family, I I also hope to make it easier, but now it is the whole team, so that each of you has the best chance! "
"I think that when you retire and think about your career, you will definitely think of this season. No matter whether we can achieve our goal, at least for now, we are working hard for all the championship goals!"
"Do you dare to imagine?"
"League, UEFA Champions League, League Cup, FA Cup, if we can really achieve our goal, we will get the Premier League Grand Slam in May! I think each of you is eager. Maybe some of you think I set the goal The setting is too high, or think that this goal is a bit unrealistic, but I believe in your ability and the strength of the team. I think that as long as we work towards the goal, we will have a chance to succeed! "
"I hope that every one of you will be like me. In order to win every championship, I will do my best. This will be the honor of the club and the honor of each of you!"
"..."
Wan Sheng said a lot to the players. For the first time in front of everyone, he expressed in detail the goals of the season-all championships including league, cup and Champions League.
Just thinking about this goal has excited many players.
If the team can really achieve this goal, it will not be too much for them to be called a "dynasty". The "Triple Crown" won by Manchester United in 1999 is called a "Great Enterprise", and now they are also only Moving towards that goal is definitely worth remembering for a lifetime.
With this mentality, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup match.
According to the rules of the English FA Cup, teams in the English Premier League and the English Premier League will directly join the third lap, which is the top 64 competition.
Manchester City's luck is a bit bad, their first opponent is West Ham United-a strong team in the FA Cup 64.
In this away cup, Manchester City performed quite well. The starting striker Giovanni Morisio helped the team score the first goal. Afterwards, Yongberg's header in front of the goal helped Manchester City secure the victory.
The game surprised the British media.
In the eyes of many British media, the focus of Manchester City this season should be placed on the league and the Champions League. The cup is completely meaningless. Before the Manchester City Cup played well, it has entered the semi-finals. It is a pity to give up, but yes The FA Cup of the Premier League team has just started the battle. Manchester City are competing for this championship and there are many games to play. Are they not afraid of affecting the results of other events?
Manchester City are the defending champions of the FA Cup. They won the FA Cup last season and went back to defend the FA Cup. It doesn't make much sense to think about it.
So what are they going to do in the FA Cup so hard?
After the game, a media reporter interviewed Wan Sheng and asked this question. Wan Sheng just shrugged and said, "The FA Cup is very important for every club in England. Of course we will not give up easily."
This answer is completely official, and basically the same.
The FA Cup does have an extraordinary significance for the English clubs, but the problem is that whenever there is a FA Cup, some clubs will choose to give up. Their approach is to send a group of benches, which means that they are in There is no ambition in this event.
Before, many people thought that Manchester City would do so in the FA Cup. Because of these many events, it was difficult for them to cope with it. As a result, Manchester City also sent Silva and Torres. They did not mean to give up the game, and then they Won the game and advance to the next round of the FA Cup, that is to say, Manchester City did not give up the game.
So they gave up the Champions League?
Of course not.
Give up the league?
No one can say that Manchester City is already the first in the league. They have six more points than the second Manchester United. The first place in the league is very stable.
League Cup ... Manchester City have reached the semifinals, and at this stage no team will be foolish enough to give up.
After a lot of inventory, Manchester City seems not to give up any event, so some media have reached a surprising conclusion-Manchester City has not given up any event, they are working hard for all the champions!
madman!
That Chinese must be crazy!
Many media immediately said, "That Chinese is crazy. He actually wanted to win every championship. He actually let the team play in the second half of the game in the fourth line!"
"We have to admit the strength of Manchester City, but people who are too greedy often don't have a good ending. That's the case of the Chinese. He actually wants to win all championships!"
"When we know all this, we can already predict the end of that madman-he and his team will definitely get nothing!"
"This will probably be Manchester City's worst season!"
"Manchester Stadium" asserted.
When "Manchester Stadium" reached this conclusion, there were still a lot of media that followed, but Manchester City simply ignored what they said.
On January 8, the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away, and finally at the Emirates Stadium, the two sides shook hands 2: 2.
Although it was a draw, but considering the two-round game, Arsenal are at home again, the score is very beneficial to Manchester City.
After the match, Wan Sheng also expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, "We missed some opportunities in the game, but overall, the players' performance is not bad."
"Arsenal are very tenacious and Van Persie played well. It seems that he has adapted to the Premier League, but until Manchester Stadium, I think we will advance to the final!"
Arsenal coach Wenger laughed at Wan Sheng's must-win speech. The French did not care. He just said, "The next round is two weeks later. It is difficult to say who wins or loses."
After that, the two men had no confrontation.
In fact, neither team had time to analyze the next round. Two days later, the 22nd round of the Premier League started and Manchester City challenged Everton away.
Everton are currently ranked sixth in the league, second only to their rivals Liverpool in the same city. Compared with their previous results, they are still quite good.
According to some media analysis, Manchester City's undefeated defeat is likely to end at Goodison Park Stadium.
"Everton's morale is booming. They have recently won two consecutive rounds. The previous game also drew Arsenal ..."
"Manchester City has just created an unbeaten record in the 59th round of the league, but I dare say that they have not put much attention on the league ..."
Soon Manchester City used an away 2: 0, which proved that they were still playing the league seriously.
In the disappointment of some media, Wan Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know how many people want us to lose, but we will play every game seriously. Every step now, for us, is to create new History, those who defame us, ca n’t understand this at all. ”
"Starting today, every step of the team is a new history, which allows our players, our team up and down, can have the motivation to fight!"
What Wan Sheng said made the Manchester City media happy, but the reporter quickly asked the key question, "Can Manchester City maintain a four-line battle?"
Wan Sheng said, "I can't guarantee the extent to which the team can do it, but we are working **** it."
"Now I can make it clear that from the beginning of this season, we went to all championships."
"The schedule is very stressful, but I believe the team can stick to it. Both me and my team hope to create a great season!"

Wan Sheng clearly stated his goals for the season at the press conference, which caused a lot of discussion in the British media.
The Manchester City media must have supported Wansheng. They are excited to announce this news to all fans, but other media have different views. They do n’t want to see Manchester City create a brilliant season. This is for the teams they support. Say it is tantamount to failure.
Therefore, the British media have begun to be pessimistic about Manchester City. Some media even shouted, "That crazy Chinese man has set a madman's goal!"
Wan Sheng understands the British media too, and only when they have nothing to do with their interests, they will look at the problem from a neutral perspective, so they certainly have no good news for Manchester City.
In these many voices, Wan Sheng resolutely led the team to continue to move closer.
