118. Cup Victory (Recommendation, Collection, Subscription)

The Pozzo family is not an oil father, they have always taken the road of low-cost management, and they went to Watford to engage in Serie A, and they will definitely introduce young talents from South America or Eastern Europe and other places to train and then sell them to make money, and the big dogs in the Premier League are most willing to spend money, which is the fundamental reason why the Pozzo family bought Watford upside down, of course, for the fans, the arrival of the Pozzo family is not a bad thing, the influence of the team itself is insufficient, and the goal of the fans is that the team can play in the top league. The Pozzo family happen to have a lot of experience in relegation, and Watford fans would be even happier if they could hang out on the European stage from time to time like Udinese.

In the past, when he was at Crystal Palace, Wen Sheng was not interested in events such as the FA Cup and League Cup, but when he arrived at Manchester City, the situation was naturally different, and the pressure from the top or public opinion in Manchester City was much greater than that of Crystal Palace.

It is even more unlikely that Watford will give up the FA Cup, if it is changed to other owners, the current top six positions of Watford are not stable enough, and concentrating on the league seems to be the right way, you must know that the schedule of the Championship team during this period is also very intensive, but Pozzo is the owner, everything will be different, they are good at opening up and reducing expenditure, no matter how much the FA Cup is said, it can also bring a sum of income to the team, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, so Watford also sent the best squad they can discharge.

Wen Sheng was unusually at the beginning of this game, and after the opening he actively attacked Watford's side, the rhythm was relatively fast, his idea was very simple, the League Cup in midweek, Arsenal at the weekend, of course he was not happy to spend too much energy on Watford, because he hoped that the battle could be resolved in the first half, and the second half could give some players in the team a rest.

Watford suffered from a two-point defence, and the game went exactly according to Wensheng's script, and Manchester City's fierce attacks made Watford difficult to parry, and Manchester City took a 3-0 lead in the first half thanks to goals from Didier Drogba, Savic and Nasri.

The second half became Manchester City's health time, Wen Sheng used up three substitutions early, worked hard to maintain his health, and basically broke into the fourth round of the FA Cup without much effort.

Such a victory was also a powerful response to the Richards affair and proved that the team was not disturbed by the incident.

Wen Sheng naturally did not hesitate to praise after the game, and when he killed Richards, he naturally had to be kind to other players and soothe people's hearts.

'We played really well on the pitch and the lads worked very hard!'

'Didier has been fantastic, he's not old, he's always there when the team needs it, he's in the dressing room and he's been able to help the other young players, he's a really great guy!'

"Yago is also very good! He's still young, there's no need to rush! I'm happy for his goal! ”

The public opinion does not have a very high evaluation of Aspas's deal, as a striker to Manchester City, Wen Sheng had planned to let Aspas as Aguero's replacement, but in fact, when Aguero was absent, Aspas got very few opportunities, Wen Sheng preferred to take a 4231 single striker formation, which made Aspas a little disadvantaged, and he did not play well on the side.

The job of a head coach is really difficult, the plan is not as fast as the change, Aspas is a typical example, Wensheng's positioning to him is not very different from the actual use, which leads to Aspas's tepid performance and not ideal, because public opinion is a little harsh on him.

For the media, Wensheng led the team to achieve results, Aspas did not spend a few minutes on Manchester City, the player did not play well, everyone will naturally blame the players more, but if De Bruyne does not play well, then the media's attitude will definitely be different, and I am afraid that Wensheng will not be able to use De Bruyne well.

Aside from the game itself, Wen Sheng was silent about the transfer aspect.

During this time, Manchester City's target has been detected by the media. Walker has been poked out by the media, but Wensheng is well aware of the current form, Manchester City's first offer has been rejected, and Levy has informed Manchester City that Tottenham have no intention of selling Kele. Walker, a young player.

Of course Wensheng knows that this is not true, Tottenham looks at it from another angle, in fact, they are the Udinese of the Premier League, but they do better than Udinese, the scouting system that the Pozzo family is proud of, in front of Tottenham, Wensheng remembers that this team has discovered many young players in recent years, and there are Eriksen, Son Xingmin, Kane, Dyer and other heroes in the future, no matter who the head coach is, they can always produce good players in an endless stream, The root cause is that their scouting system is really amazing.

Tottenham have always been bold in investing in players, such as Modric and Eriksen, who are not physically active, and it is difficult for the average Premier League team to make up their minds to bring them in, and they are skeptical of their physical ability, but Tottenham are very bold, and both players have proven their excellent vision and courage, which is very admirable.

Walker's thing is to grind the kung fu, grind slowly, until Levi is fed, at this time do not be impatient, Wensheng is not in a hurry, anyway, Milner has returned recently, Zabaleta, who has been fighting continuously, can take a break.

......

The FA Cup was successfully qualified, and Zhou's Chinese side beat League Two side Bradford 5-0 away in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-final to take the lead.

Bratford is an out-and-out dark horse team in the English League Cup this season, this League Two team has eliminated Premier League teams Wigan and Arsenal, the fans' jaws have been shocked, and the dream of this team finally woke up in the semi-finals, and was bullied directly by the powerful Manchester City to the doorstep, miracles do not happen all the time.

After this game, Manchester City finally welcomed Arsenal as an opponent, and Arsenal, who were not good enough in the first leg, were defeated by Manchester City by two goals at the Etihad Stadium, and now it can be regarded as Arsenal's best chance.

First of all, Arsenal is at home, and the home stadium can still add a lot of extra momentum to Arsenal; Secondly, they are out of the Carabao Cup, and they have played one less game than Manchester City in the recent schedule, so they must have a relative advantage in terms of physical fitness; Third, don't look at Manchester City's soaring progress in the cup, but their recent performance in the league is not good, and their form is at least average in the mouth of many commentators.

In light of this, the bookmakers' offers are also favouring Arsenal to win at home to Manchester City.
