Chapter 591: The Right Decision
After this game, Mu Shengli deliberately brought Vanney to the press conference, in this game, Vanney played 72 minutes, with a goal and an assist, very efficient, Mu Shengli took him to the press conference, but also to enhance his confidence. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
To be honest, the reporters were a little confused, and in the information they knew, Luther. Ruud van Nistelrooy is an attacking midfielder, so why did he replace the injured Quinn in the centre-forward position this game? He didn't play a center forward in the Dutch second league, let alone score, so why did he score in the first Premier League game? There is also an assist, is the Premier League weaker than the Eredivisie?
Now, the reporters are also convinced of the Manchester City club's eye for buying people, and the players bought in the summer transfer period are not enough, all of them are internationals from all over the world, and it is not unusual for them to perform well, but three players were bought in the winter transfer period, none of them are internationals, Stam has played the main central defender, Makelele has also become the main rotation player, and now Van Nistelrooy's first appearance is also so good, this success rate is simply terrifying!
Mu Shengli answered reporters' questions with a spring breeze, after the victory in this game, the gap between them and Newcastle United has widened to four points, and the championship situation can be described as very favorable, but he is still very low-key to say that Manchester City's goal this season is to enter next season's European competition.
Regarding the position of Ruud van Nistelrooy, which is very concerned by reporters, Mu Shengli said that Ruud van Nistelrooy is a versatile player who can play as a midfielder or a striker, and that he was put off the bench in this game purely because of Quinn's accidental injury, but he withstood the pressure and completed the task as a striker very well, and he is a promising player.
Ruud van Nistelrooy was very shy and a little stammering when answering reporters' questions, saying that he often watched the games of Basten and Bergkamp, the top strikers of the Netherlands, and that two of Manchester City's strikers, Quinn and Larsson, were also the ones he learned, and he learned a lot from them, and today he applied all these things on the pitch to great effect, and of course, there is an element of luck to score goals.
Then he said that he liked the atmosphere of the Manchester City team very much, and enjoyed the feeling of playing at Maine Road, and he sincerely thanked coach Mu Shengli and his teammates for their help.
Ruud van Nistelrooy stammered in his speech, but he was greeted with goodwill and encouraging laughter and applause, and in the world of football, as long as you perform well, you can feel enough kindness.
Although Manchester City won this game, it also paid a big price, and their main center Quinn needed to be out for about a month due to a ligament strain in his ankle.
This price is really not small, because four days later is the League Cup final, and the whole March, is also a very dense schedule, there are six league games and an FA Cup, this month can be said to be the key moment that determines the direction of Manchester City's season, at this time it has lost the main center, the front field offensive important fulcrum, it is really unlucky.
At this point, Mu Shengli can only replace Quinn with Ruud van Nistelrooy, hoping that he can take on this heavy responsibility, and in the next few days of training, Manchester City team focused on practicing the tactics of using Ruud van Nistelrooy as the fulcrum of the front.
On February 28th, the Manchester City team ushered in an important game again, this is the final of this season's League Cup, what kind of lineup to use in this game, Mu Shengli hesitated again and again, it stands to reason that they have entered the finals, and they should use the main lineup to win with all their might, but before, the team has decided to give up the cup and strive for the strategy of the league championship, and can reach the League Cup final. It's not fair to them.
Besides, now is the most intensive time of the season, three days after the final of the League Cup is the home game against Blackburn, Manchester City's only defeat this season is the away loss to them, Manchester City still wants revenge, not to mention that March is basically a two-game rhythm a week, and now don't let the main players rest, whether the March game can hold on, it's really a bit choking.
After thinking about it again and again, Mu Shengli finally made a decision, the League Cup final was still the same lineup that he was used to in the cup before, that is, only two or three main players such as Ding Hongxing, and the rest were on the lineup of substitute players, as soon as Mu Shengli announced the news, the eyes of the substitute players who were originally worried suddenly lit up, they were full of fighting spirit, and Mu Shengli suddenly felt that his decision was right.
In order to prepare for this game, the Manchester City team came to London a day in advance, and in the evening, several teammates went out to play billiards with Ding Hongxing, these players don't have too many hobbies, usually they drink and play billiards, which is the best way for them to relax, now is before the game, you can't drink, then you can only play billiards, and Ding Hongxing usually plays with them, they all know that Ding Hongxing's ball is playing well, so they always like Ding Hongxing to go out.
In England, snooker is a popular sport that is popular all over the country, suitable for all ages, therefore, billiards clubs in London are also everywhere, and several players found a billiards club near a hotel that looked more upscale and entered.
After entering the club, Lennon walked to an empty table, picked up a club and said to Ding Hongxing: "Ding, come, let's play a game." ”
Lomas, who has a lively personality, said: "Guess how many points Neil has to lose? ”
Nedved said, "I bet he won't get a point." ”
Rosler said: "You are too absolute, I bet he will still get a point." ”
The words of these teammates made Lenong angry: "Don't underestimate me, after losing to Ding last time, I have practiced hard, how can I get a few points this time." ”
Ding Hongxing smiled and didn't say anything, picked up the club, at this time, a few fans came over next to him, it turned out that they recognized Ding Hongxing, they came to find Ding Hongxing to sign an autograph, and Ding Hongxing satisfied them one by one.
Seeing this scene, several teammates said sourly: "It's really unfair, he plays football better than us, snooker plays better than us, and the fans only know them, not us." ”
Ding Hongxing said with a smile: "As long as you work hard, after tomorrow's game, there will be many fans who know you!" ”
