A piece of news about a Chinese coach taking over Manchester City has exploded in China.

This time is different from the unreliable rumors on the Internet, but it was jointly reported by several major media.

Five Star Sports, **, Sports Weekly and other major media have reported the news about a Chinese named Wang Xuan becoming the head coach of Manchester City.

"Wang Xuan became the first person in Chinese football to become the owner of Blue Moon! 》

"A touch of Chinese red at the Etihad!" 》

……

This news caused an explosion of comments on the Internet, and it can be regarded as a consolation to fans after the Chinese Olympic group was defeated miserably.

And, when the details of Wang Xuan's two games were revealed by the media, fans had more confidence in the young, somewhat over-the-top Chinese coach.

"It's not that China doesn't have football talents, it's that we don't have the soil for football talents."

For a while, such an argument became the main theme of the fan discussion.

Wang Xuan is completely popular in China, because it is the Olympic Games, and the whole people's attention to sports is extremely high, and Wang Xuan has become a household name in China within ten hours.

Although, there are also people who are optimistic about Wang Xuan's prospects at Manchester City. They think that Wang Xuan's age is too young, and at his age, he may be too young as a player, but he has become the head coach of Europe's top league.

"Despite Wang Xuan's excellent performances in his first two games at Manchester City, his prospects remain worrying."

"I don't know what the management of Manchester City thinks about bringing in such a manager."

Such a brick home will not be less at any time.

However, more people think that this will be the beginning of a legend, the beginning of a legend belonging to Chinese football.

"Maybe we should be thankful for this era, it's not April Fool's Day, our compatriot has really become the manager of Manchester City. Perhaps, this is the beginning of a legend. ”

"The legend has begun, and we are living in the era of the legend."

In just one day, Wang Xuan attracted more attention at home than even the Chinese delegation set a new gold medal record at the Olympics. It's an honor for anyone.

Wang Xuan naturally knew the attention he instantly attracted in China, and he was also a little intoxicated by portals such as ** and Tencent. However, he is well aware that the most important thing for him now is how to deal with their next opponents, West Ham United.

The main reason why Wang Xuan was able to instantly attract such a huge amount of attention in China was his identity.

Because he is the manager of Manchester City, so many people pay attention to him. So to keep an eye on it, he has to do better in this position, or he could become the biggest joke in the country overnight.

West Ham United has a long history, with England's captain Bobby Moore in the 1966 World Cup, Martin Peters scoring in the final and Jeff Hirst, the only legendary player in World Cup history to score a hat-trick.

In the sixties, West Ham lifted the FA Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup. However, after that came the ups and downs, with West Ham becoming the lifts of the English top flight.

In 1980, West Ham, who were relegated to the second division at the time, defeated Arsenal in the FA Cup final and created a miracle of winning the FA Cup in the second division. West Ham then went through the ups and downs, rising and falling back to the Premier League in '05 and finishing ninth that season.

West Ham's results have been very consistent in the last two years and have never been relegated again. However, they have been mentioned by the media very much lately, and the journalists' coverage of them is not very good.

Their head coach, Kobe Shley, was rumored to be at odds with the team's management. The reason for this is that the team's board of directors sold two of the team's main defenders, Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney, to Sunderland.

The sale of two main defenders directly caused the conflict between the team's head coach Kobe Shley and the team's board of directors to completely explode.

Recently, it has been a daily news story to see media exposure of the West Ham manager's conflict with the team's board of directors.

Wang Xuan knew that the time for Kobyshley to leave may not be far off. Wang Xuan will not comment on the contradiction between Kobe Bishley and the team's board of directors, and in the face of reporters' questions, Wang Xuan is blank and does not express any opinions.

But privately, Wang Xuan welcomed the turmoil at West Ham.

It is difficult for a team that has been in turmoil to condense strong combat effectiveness, and this is a very good opportunity for Wang Xuan. For this kind of thing, Wang Xuan can only hope to come a few more times.

On August 23, 2008, at half past six in the afternoon, Upton Park in London welcomed their other guest, Manchester City.

This is Wang Xuan's first away game, and West Ham fans do not regard Manchester City as an enemy, on the contrary, they feel that Wang Xuan's Manchester City may be a soft persimmon that can make the team score points.

Having lost 2-0 away to Wigan in the first round, West Ham fans will be hoping to stop the bleeding with Manchester City.

However, their wishful thinking was clearly wrong. In this game, Wang Xuan did not send Mendieta to start, but put two defensive gates in the back position - Fernandez and Fernando.

Putting two defensive gates on the back waist is also an experiment for Wang Xuan. He knows that his team does not have the offensive strength to compete with the top giants. So he has to be ready for the team to face some of the biggest clubs in Europe, and putting two strong defenders at the back is one of the measures he is prepared to take.

In fact, Wang Xuan's arrangement has another purpose. He's preparing for the next round of the Manchester derby, and he wants to see how it works, and in the next game he wants to bite his rivals Manchester United on his home turf!

As soon as the game began, everyone noticed that there was a certain change in Manchester City's tactical play today.

"Manchester City's midfield changed again today, Wang Xuan used three midfield combinations in three games, and it seems that he is still adjusting Manchester City's tactics." Andy Gray said in amazement.

"Wang Xuan's change to Manchester City's midfield in the last game was very successful, and Elano was the finishing touch on the tactics. I don't know what kind of changes this tactical change will bring to Manchester City's tactics. ”

Wang Xuan was chewing gum on the sidelines, and he was also full of expectations for this game.

His change is not only a test of the new midfield combination, but also a test of Robinho's position in the forward position.
