The British media is already looking ahead to the new season.

Manchester City, as the league champion for two consecutive seasons, has attracted much attention, and Manchester City has been training behind closed doors before, and it is difficult for media reporters to know how Manchester City is preparing for the game.

So when Manchester City and Wigan Athletic had a warm-up match on August 7, the media and fans hoped to learn about Manchester City's preparations from the warm-up match.

As soon as the whole Manchester City team came out, it attracted countless attention, and what made people notice was that Manchester City's new formation, 352, was different from last season's calm 442, and Manchester City came up with an obvious offensive formation.

Wan Sheng did not hide and mislead media reporters, the league is about to start, it is not necessary at all, he directly took out the team's latest formation, to play a game with Wigan Athletic, hoping to see some problems in the new formation and tactics from the real confrontation.

With the change in Manchester United's formation, it is naturally difficult to know the main line-up.

In this warm-up game, Wansheng kept changing players, in the first half alone, he changed people four times, and in the second half, the middle and back fields were all changed, which was almost equivalent to changing a team.

The only thing that can be seen in the media is that City's tactics have largely remained unchanged, still using last season's attacking football style.

To their surprise, under the continuous substitutions, Manchester City's attacking ability did not weaken, in the first and second halves, Manchester City scored two goals each, and the warm-up game easily beat Wigan Athletic 4-1.

Winning or losing is not the main thing.

What the media and fans saw was Manchester City's performance in the warm-up game.

As Hawkins, who has just taken over as Wigan Athletic's head coach, said, "No matter which player comes on, Manchester City can make the attack play fluidly. The gap between us and the players in terms of quality and tactics as a whole is obvious. ”

Another sentence that Hawkins said made the media noncommittal, "If Manchester City can win the Premier League for the third year in a row." I'm not surprised at all. ”

Manchester City continue to win the title?

What an international joke!

Even if the media is convinced of Manchester City's strength, they still don't want to accept this result, after all, Manchester City has won the league title for two consecutive years, and if they win the title for another year, they will be tantamount to dominating the Premier League, which makes other Premier League teams live?

No way!

Absolutely not!

Manchester City's strength has already been shown in the warm-up games. However, the media soon had a new narrative, which was that "Wigan Athletic is not enough to test the quality of Manchester City." ”

In other words, Wigan Athletic is too weak.

At the same time, there were also many media outlets that were amazed at the speed with which several new players such as Carlos, Torres, Martin Petrov and others adapted to Manchester City's tactics.

Manchester City's tactics are quite complex, and it can be said that in English football, Manchester City's football is the most complex.

The magnificence of Manchester United's game also lies in the complexity of the tactics, just that kind of dazzling coordination to get used to. It requires considerable technical strength, and the coordination of many routines on the field, the rhythm of the formation, etc. is not easy to do well, in short, it is not a simple matter to adapt to Manchester City's tactics.

But herein lies the strange part.

Several of City's new additions have had a good run in the warm-up games, but at least they can keep up with the pace of City's style of play.

It's a little amazing!

Wan Sheng has only been back in Manchester for ten days. Manchester City has only been training for half a month, and these new players. Have they all adapted to Manchester City's tactics in half a month?

How did they do it?

If you have one or two players, you can say that the players are adaptable, but a few players are not so simple.

So many media attributed the reason to Diamares, who was responsible for leading the team in training.

The British media have already studied Wansheng's coaching staff, and they know that Diamares is the 'first' assistant coach responsible for leading the team, and this 'first' is not sealed by the media, but when Wansheng was in charge of Derby County. Diamares is the assistant coach and the 'oldest' member of Wansheng's coaching staff.

Since arriving at Manchester City, Diamares has also been in charge of leading the team in the first line.

In contrast, Pierce and Bergkamp are both professional players who retired to the coaching industry. It is only recently that he has been 'fighting the world' with Wan Sheng, and he is not directly responsible for leading the team to train, which is much worse than Diamares.

Diamares is in charge of the direct leadership of the team, and City's new players are familiar with the tactics and cannot do without him.

A few years ago, Wan Sheng was in a similar situation at Derby, and the whole Derby County team adapted to the new attacking football system in a short period of time, and the same is true when they came to Manchester City, who quickly adapted to the tactics, and in one summer, a month of preparation, Manchester City completely changed their style.

Looking at how quickly several of City's new players have adapted to their tactics, it's hard to imagine how they did it.

A lot of people don't understand it anymore.

As a result, many media immediately focused on Diamares, who is the assistant coach responsible for leading the team's training, so is it directly related to him that the new players can adapt to the tactics so quickly?

Perhaps, this is the answer!

Diamares has been following Wan Sheng, and he may have some special ability to make the players adapt to the tactics quickly!

"It is with such an assistant coach who can adapt the players quickly to the tactics that Wan Sheng can succeed in Derby County and Manchester City. In the past Asian Cup, Diamares also went to Southeast Asia to help Wansheng train the team! ”

The Daily Mirror said it in a conclusive way.

"We have always set our eyes on Wansheng, this young Chinese may have his magic, but his success is absolutely inseparable from Diamares, he is the biggest contributor to Wansheng's success!"

For a time, Diamares was hyped, and in the media he became an omnipotent figure.

At first, Diamares was only an 'important reason' for Wansheng's success, and then it became 'without Diamares, Wansheng could not succeed', and then it became 'Whoever Diamares helps, he can succeed'.

Diamares has a tendency to be a little deified!

When Diamares himself learned the news, he was a little confused, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he looked at the conclusive reports in the media.

He knows himself too well!

Perhaps, before Wan Sheng became the head coach, Diamares also envisioned himself as a real head coach in the future, leading the team to the world stage and achieving a series of successes.

But dreams are just dreams after all!

For a while, Diamares also worked as a team leader for Derby, but the pressure was too great, even if the coach failed a little in life, he didn't want to face that much pressure, and in addition, he knew very well that he was not decisive, simply put, 'difficult to choose', and it was a very serious problem to be indecisive when encountering things.

It is precisely because he knows himself very well that Diamares will follow Wansheng wholeheartedly, he feels that following Wansheng is much better than 'working alone', there is no pressure at work, and there is a large salary income, where can there be such a good job?

So when he saw the hype on himself in the media, Diamares could only laugh helplessly, and then was teased by Pierce, Bergkamp and others, "Gale, you have finally cultivated to become a god." ”

"That's amazing, Gail! When will help me, I also want to be a successful person! It is said that whoever you help will succeed! ”

"Hurry up and turn me in, I can't wait!"

“……”

Diamares listened with black lines on his face.

The club was not affected by the media coverage and was just taking the news for fun.

But the outside world can't help the media hype.

The media seems to be tired of this, maybe they just want to make Diamares's name hot, so that Diamares thinks that he is capable, maybe he will choose to go out and work alone, maybe he will break some secret things about Wansheng, etc.

In short, these media outlets clearly have bad intentions.

But Wan Sheng and Diamares did not have any contradictions at all, and the two walked out of the training base together with a smile.

Soon a group of reporters came forward to interview, Wan Sheng did not refuse, but pulled Diamares to look at the reporter, "To tell you the truth, the biggest reason why I can succeed in coaching is Gail!" ”

The media reporters were stunned.

What is this for?

Wan Sheng actually admitted it himself?

"Actually, let's be honest with you, Gael is the reincarnation of a god. His previous life was Apollo, the god of prophecy. ”

Wan Sheng became extremely serious, "You should have heard this story, Apollo went through hardships, he was the son of Zeus, but he had a grudge against his father Zeus, so in order to avenge his mother, he could only kill the snake king who killed his mother, and the wife of the snake king turned into a human body, as a priestess who guarded Apollo in the temple, so Gael had the power of prophecy......"

"Gail is the reincarnation of Apollo, and in the human world, he is also protected by the snake people, so he also has the power of prophecy."

Wan Sheng said it very seriously, as if everything was true, but it was clear that it was all nonsense.

Just when the surrounding media reporters were about to say something, Wan Sheng gave Diamares a look, Diamares reacted, and immediately said seriously, "What Wan Sheng said is true, I am the reincarnation of Apollo!" ”

"I have the power of prophecy, I can use this power to decide the outcome of the game, what game Wansheng wants to play, I will use the power of prophecy to help him win, that's why Wansheng will be so successful."

"I'm telling you this now, don't say it, I don't want other gods to know that I have been reincarnated here, those gods who have a grudge against me will chase me and kill me, this is a big matter related to my life!"

"Maybe you don't believe what I say, so I'll make a prophecy to prove it now."

In a group of media stunned, Diamares compared his fingers, as if he was a god in Chinese mythology, and that serious attitude was extremely serious, and then Diamares suddenly yelled, "There is!" ”

"The new prediction, two days later, Manchester City and Manchester United's Community Shield, Manchester City will win completely, Manchester United is not an opponent at all!" (To be continued.) )
