"It is indeed Longtan Tiger's Den, David can have the courage to take over Manchester United, I admire it!" Wen Sheng commented so, see Allen. Ferguson and Big Sam were a little stifled and quickly added, "What I said is true!" ”
"Sir, do you think your stall is very easy to pick up?!" Wen Sheng asked Ferguson rhetorically.
"Isn't it easy to pick up?!" Ferguson said with a smile, disapproving, he really didn't think his class was difficult to take over, he led a team that could compete for the championship, this team is enough, Manchester United tinkered, and it shouldn't be difficult for the successor to succeed.
Everyone talked about it, and no one could convince anyone, Big Sam knew that what Wensheng said was right, but he was still a strong helper, Allen. Ferguson was persuaded by Wen Sheng.
However, what is the use of the four people talking here and there, Manchester United is not their master!
The international break is over and the Premier League is back in action.
On the 24th, Manchester City will welcome Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium.
Tottenham made a good market deal this summer, Bale was sold at a high price, Tottenham spent about 100 million pounds in the transfer market to bring in 7 players, Villas-Boas the manager received no worse treatment than Lao Lei, but so far Tottenham has only scored 20 points in 11 rounds, which is too far behind Manchester City.
In a way, this result is reasonable, but their problems are still serious, and Bale's departure still brings a lot of trouble to Boas in the front attack.
Bale's departure has almost overturned Villas-Boas's attacking tactics, and the new season has brought attacking players such as Eriksen, Soldado, and Lamela who need him to readjust the team's attacking tactics, and they have only scored nine goals in the previous 11 league games, which is a significant decline compared to last season.
Then in terms of defense, Tottenham Hotspur also has some problems this season, they do not have a particularly reliable midfielder, last season's midfielder was Sandro, the Brazilian player performed very well last season, but the state has fluctuated too much, there are some injuries in the new season, and there has been no return, the new season Boas's midfield position personnel are always changing, and they have not found the right match, which has also led to some problems in their defense and attack.
On the other hand, Manchester City, not only scored a lot of goals, but also was in a very stable state, and has always been in the first group, and Boas is also quite a headache.
......
The day before the match, Wensheng held a pre-match press conference at the Etihad training base.
"Daniel, the league is back in the fire, you are about to face Tottenham, can you tell us about the upcoming opponents?!" The Manchester Evening News reporter was the first to ask questions.
"It's going to be a tough game for sure! Tottenham are a very good team and Villas-Boas is a very good coach and I think we need to be careful because they will cause us some problems! Wen Sheng said.
"The league after the national team break is always a bit tough, right?!" The Guardian reporter asked with a smile.
"That's true!" Wen Sheng also smiled and replied in the affirmative.
Manchester City looks quite strong compared to Tottenham, but this game is after the national team break, and the main problem on Manchester City's side is that the players are tired, which may affect the form to a large extent, so Wen Sheng is also a little worried.
"So you think your team might lose?!" A Sky Sports reporter asked.
"Football is round, there are all kinds of possibilities, and losing is naturally possible! But I still have a lot of confidence in our home stadium! ”
Manchester City, as the leader, is much less likely for reporters to make things difficult, while Tottenham and Boas are obviously not so easy.
The reporters focused on their offensive weakness this season. Let's go slightly
Villas-Boas was annoyed, if he had a choice, of course he hoped that Bale would have better not go, but that was not possible, and then he was always looking for the best attacking combination, well, he never found it, and this season Tottenham's attacking stats have dropped across the board.
In fact, there are already rumours that he may be sacked after the defeat to Manchester City, and the bookmaker has recently adjusted his odds to 11 to 10, which almost means that Villas-Boas will definitely be sack.
And now, unfortunately, Boas has run into a manager known as the "coach killer" --- Wensheng, who has just kicked Di Canio away.
"I'm not worried about my position! The club and the players trust me! We did have some difficulties in the past, but I'm sure we're going to have a turnaround! At the press conference, Boas firmly denied that he was worried about leaving class.
It was true, and if he really wasn't sure about his future, he probably wouldn't have said it.
"I don't know!" "I don't think so!" "I don't control my own destiny!" When these kinds of words come out, that's the rhythm that might really get out of class.
......
On the afternoon of the 24th, the focus of the 12th round was played at the Etihad Stadium.
Wensheng's side continued to use the 4231 formation.
The goalkeeper position was replaced by Joe. Hart, Keylor Navas was injured on the international break, and in the near future, Hart may be corrected.
At the back, Milner was slightly injured, Zabaleta rotated, the centre-back position was won by a combination of Savic and Kompany, Albiol has recovered from injury, he and Van Dijk are on the bench, and the left wing-back is still Shears, who did not play at all in the national team this time.
In midfield, Wensheng used Dembele and Casemiro, Kroos in the midfield position, wingers on both wings, Aguero on one side and De Bruyne on the other, Silva was injured and did not play, as for Costa, I am sorry that he is a glass man again.
Using Aguero as a winger, Wen Shengyi is reluctant to Aguero's state, aside from his outrageous form in the game against Dortmund, Aguero is still a very trustworthy player at other times, De Bruyne returned to the national team on the day of the match to represent Belgium in the big game, but whoever makes him a thigh, okay has to play.
At the top of the front line is Dzeko.
On Tottenham's side, Villas-Boas also discharged 4231.
Goalkeeper: Lloris
Defenders: Ziriches, Cabourg, Dawson, Vertonghen
Defenders: Sandro, Paulinho
Midfielders: Lennon, Holtby, Lamela
Forward: Soldado
Tottenham's big investment in the summer window has won praise from media commentators, and the rating is much higher than Manchester City, but the words of that group of people are just to be heard, in fact, Tottenham's recruitment has a top-heavy problem, and their backline is actually in need of reinforcement, but Tottenham did not make a strong move in this regard, only brought in Ziriches, the defender can be on the side.
Tottenham have had a big injury problem in the defence recently, and Villas-Boas has a patchwork of attacking players on the bench today.
