"Everybody stop what you're doing, and I'll say a few words. Yang Fan interrupted everyone's discussion.

Everyone looked at him to hear what the captain had to say.

"Yesterday I was with the others to watch the draw ceremony. Yang Fan said, "De Jong said something at the time. ”

He said to De Jong, "Hey, man, just say that again." ”

"I said, the game is played one game at a time. De Jong said.

"That's right. "What was my reaction when the group's sign-in came out?" he asked Tevez this time.

"Your reaction?" Tevez thought for a moment, then clapped his hands, "You slapped your thigh and said, 'Cool'." ”

"Hahaha, that's right. It's cool. Yang Fan laughed, "Don't you think this grouping is really cool?"

Everyone looked at each other, and no one thought how cool the group was.

"Okay, let me ask. Yang Fan waved his fist, "Do you think that Real Madrid and AC Milan will finally qualify for this group?"

"Isn't it?" someone asked rhetorically.

"Chelsea or Milan, who is stronger?" Yang Fan asked suddenly.

The question was a bit of a stretch, but someone answered, "It's Milan." ”

'No, it should be Chelsea. ”

Opinions differ.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan clapped his hands, "In this case, let's do it, if I say that at least these two teams are about the same strength, and they may not be able to play to death, can you agree with this?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Look. We can win against Chelsea, and not all at once, so why can't we win against AC Milan?"

Everyone was stunned, can they still make such a comparison?!

Although there is some disobedience and a little awkwardness, Yang Fan's words are not unreasonable, everyone thinks about it, it is really this truth, we can win Chelsea, why should we be afraid of AC Milan, which is equal to Chelsea's strength or even weaker than Chelsea.

"So, in this group, in the end, it may not be Real Madrid and AC Milan who will qualify from the group. Yang Fan said, "We have to have confidence in ourselves. ”

At this time, Yaya Toure stood up: "I agree with Yang Fan's words. In the end, the teams that will make it out of the group will not necessarily be AC Milan and Real Madrid. ”

Everyone turned to look at him again.

"Even if the whole world doesn't believe that we can qualify, we can't believe it ourselves. Yaya Toure continued. "And I know Real Madrid, they're not as strong as they seem, otherwise why are they in the second tier and not the first?

Yaya Toure said this very powerfully, because he had played for Barcelona before, and Barcelona and Real Madrid were bitter enemies, and he said that he knew Real Madrid very well, and everyone believed that.

David. Silva also stood up, "I would also like to say that Real Madrid is indeed not as strong as he thought, they have not passed the knockout round for eight consecutive years. ”

The former Valencia star's words also made many people nod their heads when they heard it.

At this time, De Jong stood up again and said: "I also have something to say. ”

"You say. Yang Fan said.

"We worked so hard to get to the Champions League last season, and if we were out of the group stage, I would be very unhappy anyway. ”

"That's right!" Yang Fan applauded, "Manchester City is playing the Champions League again after 40 years, and it is not a group stage tour! ”

"Our Manchester City is not weak at all, we are much stronger than we imagined, this group, is it the group of death? Of course it is!" Yang Fan said, and then saw the eyes of everyone, he continued, "However, this is someone else's group of death, not ours!"

"We are not afraid of Real Madrid and AC Milan, and of course, we are not afraid of Ajax. ”

If Yang Fan listens to Ajax's words, he will definitely be angry, and Ajax is now thinking that the only thing that this group can bully is Manchester City, but he never wants to be looked down upon by Manchester City.

"One more thing I have to say. Yang Fan said, "Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Ajax, their three teams have won the Champions League a total of 20 times, if we can fight in this group and step on the corpses of two European champions to advance, what a beautiful thing?!"

Yang Fan's words aroused the fighting spirit and morale of the whole team, and everyone was bright, Yang Fan was right, this group is a group of death, it is very difficult, but it is a dilemma and an opportunity, if Manchester City can step on the corpses of Real Madrid and AC Milan and Ajax, the three European champions, this is indeed a beautiful thing.

After this communication between Yang Fan and his teammates, although it cannot be said that the confidence of the whole team to qualify from the group has been established, at least the whole Manchester City team is no longer nervous and frustrated, which is a good phenomenon. Yang Fan believes that if Manchester City can win the first game of the Champions League, then the morale of the whole team will be fully up. It takes a process, and victory is the best catalyst!

※※※※※※※

After training, Yang Fan was surrounded by reporters who wanted to hear his thoughts on the results of last night's Champions League draw.

As a result, as soon as Yang Fan opened his mouth, the reporters were stunned.

'We have to give it our all to make sure we qualify from the group......

Wait a minute...... What group qualified?

The reporters were stunned, although they admit that Manchester City is now strong, but, objectively speaking, the vast majority of people do not think that Manchester City can qualify from the group, in their opinion, Real Madrid and AC Milan should lock in two qualifying places, they think that Manchester City's more pragmatic attitude is to compete with Ajax for the third place in the group.

In their opinion, the shape of this group is very clear and clear, it must be AC Milan and Real Madrid qualified, and Ajax and Manchester City are all characters who accompany the prince to study. Of course, they also agree that Manchester City's strength is stronger than Ajax's, however, Manchester City is a rookie in the Champions League, Ajax has a lot of experience in the Champions League, and Manchester City can't be said to be able to win against Ajax if they really play.

"Is there anything to be surprised about?" Yang Fan said with a sneer.

"But, City's opponents are—"

"Real Madrid and AC Milan?...... Yes, they are strong, but it doesn't matter who the opponent is, how strong they are...... We're all going to fight for a qualifying spot. Yang Fan ignored the change in the reporter's face and continued. "In addition, Ajax will be very unhappy that you will give Real Madrid and AC Milan a place in the qualification quota like this......"

Why is it about Ajax again? The reporters rolled their eyes, and in their minds, Ajax was more conscious than Manchester City.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan said that Manchester City would strive to qualify from the group, which immediately became the focus of media attention.

“…… In an interview with reporters, Yang Fan said that Manchester City's goal is to qualify from the group. Yang Fan's interview soon appeared in major media outlets, online, on television and in newspapers.

"I think what he said is right, you can't deprive others of the right to dream, right......" "As" said sarcastically, the implication is that Yang Fan is daydreaming.

Yang Fan said that he is very confident, for himself, it is no problem for him to be so confident, but football is not a one-person sport, and if you want to win, you can't always count on your own personal heroism. It's still up to your teammates to help. But City's overall quality really doesn't give them any hope......

"As Manchester City's number one star, we think Yang Fan said this mainly to appease the hearts of Manchester City players and fans. At the very least, they still have hope. The team really needs that hope before the game starts. But I think when the group stage starts, they will soon find that hope is useless......"

"I noticed one more thing...... Yang Fan's original words were to say, 'We will all work hard to qualify'. He didn't say that he would definitely qualify, but used such a tone...... It's a subconscious choice of language, maybe he's not as confident as he seems?"

"Yang Fan said that he wants to lead Manchester City to qualify from the group?" "Manchester City's first game was against Milan at the San Siro, and it seems that the Rossoneri need to teach this team that has not played in the Champions League for 40 years, to be pragmatic, to go step by step, and not to always dream......"

Yang Fan's words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, attracting all kinds of ridicule. Of course, these people are just talking about Manchester City's inability to qualify, no one points the finger at Yang Fan's personal ability, Yang Fan's ability is well known, but obviously they don't think that Yang Fan can lead Manchester City to qualify, and personal heroism is difficult to play a big role in the Champions League in the face of strong opponents.

However, some media have expressed cautious optimism about Yang Fan and Manchester City.

"There is no doubt that Manchester City are the most uncertain factor in the round of 32 of this season's Champions League, coming back to the Champions League after more than 40 years, Manchester City has something to learn, and they are in such a group of death, they may go home after the group stage, but we should also note that Manchester City is not without hope of an upset, don't forget, they have Yang Fan, the World Footballer of the Year now has some good helpers around him, if they play extraordinary, the emergence of this group does not necessarily belong to Real Madrid and AC Milan……”

Obviously, the media's not-so-strong confidence in Manchester City comes more from Yang Fan, in the words of The Echo...... Manchester City has Yang Fan, the world footballer of the year can always create a miracle and play a great season, this is Manchester City's biggest barrier and reliance at the moment!"
