Chapter 38: A slap in the face
City won again, and so cleanly. At the press conference, Wang Xuan maintained the same smile as always, but there was a provocative taste in his smile.
Wang Xuan's provocative smile made many reporters in the audience feel hot on their faces.
Journalists rarely tell the story to death, but when they do, it shows that they are at least 90% sure. This time, however, City's performance was very different from what they had predicted.
This naked slap in the face made them feel that their faces were very dull.
Wang Xuan naturally would not let go of such an opportunity to hit his opponent, he had been unscrupulously hacked by the media for so long, and the anger in his heart could be imagined. In the past, he would celebrate wildly after his team's goal, so why not vent the anger in his heart?
After press officer Bales announced the start of the press conference, Wang Xuan said with some eagerness: "If Manchester City can draw at home to Aston Villa in this game, it can be counted as a victory." Wang Xuan's yin and yang weird appearance made the reporters in the audience very angry, but what made them even more angry is still behind.
"I don't know what a draw means victory, and the word draw is used to describe the weak. In my opinion, the fact that my team was able to win 3-0 at home only shows that my team is strong. If we draw today, it can only be called, 'Villa drew Manchester City hard'. ”
"I know there are a lot of people who want to see me lively, who want to see my team beat at home, and who want me to get two Guinness Book of Records certificates in one go? Sorry, I only got one certificate today. Wang Xuan said and took out the record certificate of "the youngest head coach in the European professional league" given to him by the Guinness staff before the game.
In the eyes of that group of reporters, Wang Xuan's move to post the certificate was completely provocative. Provoke the authority of their uncrowned king. However, in Wang Xuan's view, where does that group of reporters have the authority of the uncrowned king, it is just a group of people who want to set up an archway when they are **.
"Speaking of this fight, I think it was a great win and a great start for me. In this game, many of our players played really well in this game. Especially Mendieta, who made one pass and one shot, I don't think we would have won this game without him. ”
Anyone who knows a little about penalty kicks can see that Manchester City won this game because of tactical restraint. Even without Mendieta, City deserved to win. But he deliberately emphasized the role of Mendieta, which was nothing more than a slap in the face of those who looked down on Mendieta.
"Gentlemen, I'm done, it's your turn." Wang Xuan spread his hands and said lightly.
The reporters in the audience were gritted their teeth by Wang Xuan's squeezing, but now they have no way to fight back. After all, Wang Xuan led Manchester City to two consecutive victories, and two big wins in a row. But these reporters have a grudge!
Originally, with Wang Xuan's current achievements, it must be worth mentioning by the media. But now they have decided to downplay Wang's results and wait quietly for City's defeat. As long as Manchester City loses, they must use the pen in their hands to let the arrogant Chinese know the power of the uncrowned king.
For these journalists, their chance is at hand, with Manchester City hosting their city-rivals Manchester United at home on 31 August. Now the old man's Manchester United is in full swing, and the reporters believe that Manchester United will definitely teach Wang Xuan to be a good man.
As soon as the time came, Wang Xuan turned around and left. And when Martin O'Neill came in, the reporters naturally told Martin O'Neill what Wang Xuan said just now out of context.
Martin O'Neill was enraged, and he lashed out at Wang Xuan in his statement. Martin O'Neill's performance is in the hands of this group of reporters, but these are not a problem for Wang Xuan. At this moment, Wang Xuan got a good news from Fran and was happy!
The transfer of Baines and Fernando has been negotiated, with the transfer fee of 6.7 million and 2 million respectively. In fact, Forlan had already negotiated a transfer fee with Everton and Porto before that, but the player himself was still a little hesitant, mainly because their agent was not optimistic about Manchester City. However, after Manchester City's 3-0 home win over last season's sixth-placed Aston Villa, the last hurdle for the duo's transfer was cleared.
With the addition of these two players, the transfer window for Manchester City has largely closed this summer. They're not going to buy any more players, but now the squad is too bloated and he'll need to purge another batch of people, but it's obviously not going to be a big deal.
Harman, Castillo, Caicedo, Evans, Danny Mills, Grob, the six-man purge list Wang Xuan has already given Fran. He didn't need to be distracted by these things at all.
The team's transfer almost didn't need Wang Xuan to worry about, the transfer of Baines and Fernando was completed, and the stone in Wang Xuan's heart was also put down. Fran's tasks have been completed, and Wang Xuan's task this season is still arduous and long.
Restrained in his mind, Wang Xuan entered the pinnacle system of football.
As soon as I entered the system, a series of prompt dialog boxes popped up.
"Get your first league win, +1 Prestige Points, +1 Stats."
"Complete the first stage of the 'Pride of the Basques' quest with +1 Skill Points, +1 Attribute Points, and +3 Pinnacle Points. The second stage of the mission is here! ”
"Mission: the pride of the Basques. The goal of the second phase of the mission is to help Mendieta get back to competitive form and achieve the highest score in the game without any skill bonuses. Rewards for the second stage of the mission: Prestige Points +5, Skill Points +1, Attribute Points +3, Skill +1. ”
After Wang Xuan saw the mission goal of the second stage, his whole person became excited.
If he completes this task, it will definitely be a great harvest, but how can he complete this task?
The objective of this mission is actually very clear, which is to gradually get Mendieta back to form, not to mention to get him back to his peak form, at least to make him a first-class midfielder in the Premier League.
Wang Xuan opened the attribute panel of Mendee Tower, and now the attributes of Mendee Tower are like this-
Strength: 57
Sensitivity: 61
Technique: 75
Speed: 58
Psychological: 91
Mendieta is a system player, and he needs to be in a specific system to play to his best. However, the situation in Mendieta is still relatively bad now. His awareness, experience, and mental qualities are all excellent.
Now Robinho's stats are just like this-
Strength: 76
Sensitivity: 94
Technique: 89
Speed: 91
Psychological: 72
Speed and psychology are both relatively singular, while the first three are more comprehensive.
Strength and agility are two attributes that are primarily a response to the body, while technique is a response to the skill and consciousness of the feet.
Wang Xuan can see from Mendieta's data that Mendieta's health is very bad, he has not played football for more than a year, and he has not trained systematically for almost two months. If he simply used attribute points to add attributes to Mendetata, not to mention that his attributes would drop quickly, Wang Xuan didn't have so many attribute points to squander now.
Now he only has 1 extra stat point.
"It seems that a very detailed training plan for Mendieta will be needed, supplemented with the help of attribute points. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the veteran to dominate the field again. Wang Xuan already had a general idea in his heart.
