Chapter 552: Sensitive Issues

readx;

Quinn's down, so that the pressure on the Spurs team suddenly reduced, and the reality of two goals behind, so that they had to attack, Tottenham coach Francis replaced two offensive players, began to launch a fierce attack, but their attack is also thunder and rain, Manchester City team in the front of the penalty area Ding Hongxing and Nedved two physical maniacs swept back and forth, effectively protecting the penalty area, destroying the Tottenham team's attack, and Hyypia and Funk's central defender partnership is also very stable, especially in the header competition, Hyypia was in complete control of the air, which was a stark contrast to Tottenham in the first half. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tottenham's attack looked lively but didn't have much effect, with Jaskelainen keeping the door in constant danger, and the occasional long-range shot was easily cleared by Tottenham.

In the second half of more than 20 minutes, Mu Shengli replaced Rosler with Lennon, added another defensive player in the midfield, and only Larsson was left in the front court.

In the seventy-ninth minute of the game, Ding Hongxing predicted in advance, cut off Anderton's horizontal pass halfway, and sent a long pass over the top for the first time, Larsson, who had not performed for more than 20 minutes, began to start at the moment Ding Hongxing broke the ball, rushing forward like a cheetah, and Ding Hongxing's pass was also delivered in time, when Marbut and Campbell reacted and turned around, Larsson had already pulled down their distance of several meters, and this distance was impossible to catch up.

Larsson slotted the one-on-one goal into the Tottenham goal to make it 3-0, which was the final score of the game.

Tottenham were in trouble, not only did they lose the game, but Anderton were forced to leave the pitch just before the break with a thigh strained during a dribbling runaway, when they had used up all three substitutions and were left with 10 men.

Anderton is the most skilled player in the Tottenham team, but since he was named Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year in '93, he has never been able to play a full season for Tottenham, and he will miss a lot of games every season due to such and such strange injuries, and he only played eight games for Tottenham in the 95-96 season, which can also be seen from the fact that the medical level of the Tottenham team is not very good.

All in all, Manchester City got a resounding win and got the season off to a good start.

After the game, at the press conference, Mu Shengli told reporters: "My players are very good, not cheap or parallel goods, this game proved it, they all performed very well, I am proud of them!" ”

After a sceptical run into the squad for nearly two months before the start of the season, Manchester City's coaches and players were holding their breath, and now, with City getting off to a clean start, Mu Shengli has finally taken a breath of air out for him and his players.

Maybe such a face-to-face slap is not a gentleman, but if Mu Shengli does this, the players will definitely support him very much.

However, as soon as Mu Shengli said this, the atmosphere at the scene was very embarrassing, and it was the Chinese reporters who alleviated the awkward atmosphere, and they asked Ding Hongxing a question, that is, to ask him if it was his girlfriend's birthday today, and whether today's goal was a birthday gift for her.

Ding Hongxing nodded slightly and said: "Yes, today happens to be my girlfriend Lu Chaohui's birthday, and my goal today is also a birthday gift for her, I hope she has a happy birthday and a happy Yongyuǎn!" ”

Ding Hongxing's words made everyone present applaud, even Tottenham Hotspur manager Francis, who suffered a big defeat in the first game, had to applaud slightly.

Ding Hongxing answered a question, and a reporter asked Mu Shengli a sensitive question: "Coach Mu, hello!" I would like to ask you a question, in this game, there is only one Englishman in the starting line-up of Manchester City, and there are only four Englishmen in all the players in the Manchester City team, does Manchester City not like to use English players? ”

This issue is indeed very sensitive, Manchester City's starting line-up for this game, goalkeeper Jaskelainen is Finnish, left-back Lizarazu is French, two central defenders Hyypia and Funk are Finn and Dutch respectively, in the midfielders, Kinkladze is Georgian, Ding Hongxing is Chinese, Nedved and Smitchell are Czechs, Quinn is Irish, Rosler is German, and only right-back Flicklowt is English.

Fortunately, there was still an Englishman in the starting line-up, and Manchester City did not set a record of not having an Englishman in the starting line-up, and this record is better left to Arsene Wenger.

This kind of question is not easy to answer, the English people are a bit glassy, especially self-respecting, they think that their players are the best, if Mu Shengli does not answer this question well, Manchester City may become the public enemy of England. This is the reporter's intention in asking such a question.

Mu Shengli couldn't help but glance at Ding Hongxing, he secretly said in his heart, sure enough, someone asked this question, but fortunately, Ding Hongxing had expected it a long time ago, reminded him, and made him prepared.

"It's not that Manchester City doesn't like to use English players, in fact, this summer, Manchester City has offered a lot of good English players, including Owen, McManaman, Letissier, Ferdinand, Lampard, Smith, and Campbell of Tottenham today, etc., if these players can come to Manchester City, I believe there are at least seven or eight Englishmen in my starting line-up, but unfortunately, our offers have been rejected, so I am also regretful." ”

The reporter asked reluctantly: "Coach Mu, you still have four English players in your team, why don't you let them start?" And you've sold a lot of players this summer, and there's a lot of England players out there. ”

Faced with this obviously deliberately difficult problem, Mu Shengli still said without hurry: "Who to start in the game, I came according to the state in the training and the situation of Shou, and I did not test the nationality of Lu." As for why we want to sell those players, it's because last season Manchester City didn't have a good result and were almost relegated, so the team needs to be changed, and I, as the manager, am responsible for the team's results. Now the results of this game prove that this change is necessary, Mr. Reporter, what do you think? ”
