In addition, what annoyed Wansheng the most was an invitation from the Chinese Football Association.

Wan Sheng sat in the office, looking at the invitation stamped with the seal of the Chinese Football Association, he was stunned for a long time, and then he covered his forehead and smiled bitterly and felt very helpless.

More than a month ago, Wansheng had already received a copy of the same content.

The Chinese Football Association wanted to invite Wan Sheng to coach the Chinese national men's football team, but Wan Sheng almost didn't think about it, so he directly refused.

Of course, refusal can't say 'I don't want to coach the Chinese team, because the Chinese team can't participate in the World Cup, and there are no major events to play recently', or 'I haven't considered coaching the national team for the time being, because there can't train players there, I go to coach, and the national team won't improve', Wan Sheng was euphemistically refused on the grounds of 'there is still a contract with Manchester City', but he didn't expect that the Chinese Football Association was still quite 'persistent', and after he clearly refused, he continued to send the same invitation.

What does that mean?

Ask a national team coach to send out invitations in a row after being explicitly rejected?

Wan Sheng was a little incomprehensible.

However, some domestic news made him have to think carefully.

Just yesterday, the Chinese Football Association officially held a press conference, announcing that they had issued an invitation to Wansheng as the coach of the national team, hoping that Wansheng would agree to coach the Chinese national team.

The news was told to the face of the new vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association, Zhang Jiangheng, also known as 'Director Zhang', who promised fans that he would bring in an internationally renowned coach and explained that Wansheng was the most important goal.

"We have invited Wan Sheng to return to China as the coach of the national team." Director Zhang said seriously.

In the eyes of the domestic media, or the outside world, the Chinese Football Association is very sincere in inviting Wansheng to coach.

Wan Sheng is the world's top coach, but the premise is that he is also a Chinese coach, as a Chinese coach, it is an honor to coach the national team, and even, this point of view makes sense in England.

As far as the England team is concerned, after McClaren stepped down, the British media have been 'helping' to find a manager, and the old coach Harry Regknapp has said, "As the head coach of England, it is an honor to be able to coach the national team, which England coach has the opportunity to be the manager of the England team, rather than rejecting this position for various reasons." ”

This is a common view in English football.

Domestically, this view is also very marketable, and a large part of the fan base believes that Chinese coaches should think about the national team.

But obviously, the situation is different.

England is a team that has a chance to compete for the World Cup, it is a first-class team in the world, even if they have not achieved good results in recent years, but the strength of the team is worthy of recognition, just like the 2006 World Cup, the England team is the 32 teams, the overall value of the players is the highest, this alone is enough to explain a lot of problems.

What about the Chinese team?

Not even qualified for the World Cup finals......

Wan Sheng does not look down on the Chinese team, but China's professional football is too chaotic, and he hopes that he can coach the Chinese team in the future, and he even believes that this is a responsibility that cannot be escaped.

But...... Not now!

Now, in terms of contributing to Chinese football, Wansheng believes that the most important thing he needs to do is to cultivate a few more players like Wang Xiaolei, for example, in a few years, more than ten years, China can form a team of all 'Wang Xiaolei' level players, even if the national team has any Football Association constraints and the like, he also hopes to coach this team and lead them to the World Cup.

But the current Chinese team has nothing, there is no qualification for the upcoming World Cup, he goes to coach the Chinese team, it can be said that it is completely meaningless, maybe he can lead the team to a slightly better result, but so what? In a few years, he will likely be the same as other coaches who have coached the Chinese team, and the end result will be ...... Step.

Whether the contract expires, because of the rights issue within the team, or a conflict with the Football Association, no matter what the reason, the final result is certain.

So at this stage, Wan Sheng didn't consider coaching the Chinese team.

From his point of view, the invitation of the Chinese team is like persecution, and he didn't expect that one day, he would be like those players...... Persecuted.

Wan Sheng thought about it, but finally refused.

However, considering the influence of the domestic media, he asked Kevin Tagore to release the news in the name of the Tagore Wan Group, and the reason for refusing was that "Wan Sheng, as the head coach of Manchester City Club and the chairman of the Tagore Wan Group, does not have the time and energy to coach the Chinese national team." ”

――――

On April 12, the 34th round of the Premier League ushered in, Manchester City's opponent is Sunderland, and the team needs to play away.

Sunderland are not a strong team, but this one is a tough one to play because of the current points that have forced them to give their best in the next few games or they will be in danger of relegation.

After 33 rounds of games, Sunderland accumulated 36 points, only 4 points more than the third-to-last Reading team in the league, this point is no longer enough to ensure that Sunderland can complete relegation, plus the game against Manchester City, Sunderland only has five games left, for the relegation team, it is not easy to get points, if the following games, Reading, Fulham, Birmingham and other 'competitors' win two more games, Sunderland is likely to face relegation, so even against Manchester City, Sunderland will definitely do their best.

If you encounter such an opponent before the competition, Wan Sheng is really likely to let the substitute team play to try their luck, after all, it is not good for the league to affect the Champions League, but the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals will start in half a month, and they have enough time to recover their energy, so Wan Sheng still discharged the main lineup.

After a tough 90-minute game, Manchester City won 2-1 away.

This victory was not easy.

But Manchester City's gains are also quite rich, not because of the 'three points' in the league, but because of their biggest rival in the league, Manchester United, made mistakes, or in other words, Manchester City tried the whole game and was defeated in the end.

It was Chelsea who beat Manchester United.

The clash between Chelsea and Manchester United is also the most watched match of this round.

It was so eye-catching that City's game didn't get much attention, and the game was 'thrilling', not because the two teams were too good to be attractive, but because it was ...... Manchester United players fight the stadium staff after the game!

When he heard the news, Wan Sheng immediately smiled.

When Manchester City played Manchester United, the two teams got into a big fight on the pitch and ended up with a number of bans for both teams, so it's interesting that something similar is happening now between Chelsea and Manchester United.

This time it was Manchester City's turn to reap the benefits.

As the "Sun" said, "Important games must leave grievances." ”

Back in 2004, the 'Old Trafford Flying Cake Goal', Chelsea's big battle against Manchester United had another strange public case: the Red Devils players who were relaxing on the pitch after the game actually got into a fight with the Chelsea staff responsible for the maintenance of the pitch while running laps!

The FA has said it wants to step in the investigation, with The Guardian claiming that "Manchester United players could even be suspended for this." ”

The atmosphere on the turf at Stamford Bridge was already hot, and the defeat made the United players very angry.

After the game, just as the likes of Patrice Evra, Park Ji-sung, Paul Scholes, Neville, Pique and O'Shea were running around the pitch to relax, a Chelsea turf maintenance staff asked them to go for a run at the other end of the pitch.

Originally, this requirement was also normal.

The key problem was that Patrice Evra replied with a foul blow when the United players felt they had lost unjustly, and a brawl ensued, with other United players and the Chelsea coaching staff in the dressing room rushing back to the turf to pull the fight, but the incident was recorded on CCTV monitoring the stadium and Sky TV afterwards.

An eyewitness told the News of the World: "It's amazing! One minute the Manchester United players were running up and down the field, the next minute it was kickboxing! This is not a push and shoving like a woman, but a real fight! Manchester United players on one side, Chelsea venue staff and security on the other! ”

According to Chelsea, it was Evra who made the first move and punched a staff member in the face, but Manchester United said that Evra was the first person to be beaten, and the incident seemed to be about to evolve into a 'Rashomon'.

Chelsea Football Club issued a statement saying: 'At this time we are reviewing the relevant tapes and photographs before considering what punishment measures should be taken. ”

A United spokesman said: 'We are not in a position to comment on this matter at this time and we have asked Chelsea to make copies of the tape in order to carry out their own investigation. ”

The existence of video evidence shows that this incident is different from the 'Flying Cake Gate', and the FA also has a basis for punishment.

The FA has set up an investigation team to intervene and spokesman Cooper said: "We don't need a referee's report because obviously he was in the dressing room, far from where the incident happened. But we'll ask Chelsea to show us the tape. ”

Manchester United is miserable.

With a defeat that has widened the gap between them and Manchester United to eight points, with only four league games remaining, there is only a 'theoretical' chance of winning the title, and they have lost players in the game - Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic are both injured, and if the FA are in charge of the possible additional suspension of Patrice Evra and others, they will have too much to suffer.

Also, especially given that no players were involved at Chelsea, they were punished a bit unjustly because the two sides were not equal and only Chelsea staff could be fined.

In exchange for a ban on the player, a few staff fines were imposed...... It's a big loss! (To be continued.) )
