After Diamares finished speaking, he pushed away the crowd with Wan Sheng and walked away.

Before leaving, Wan Sheng did not forget to turn around and give a special warning, "You must remember, don't tell others Gail's latest prophecy!" Otherwise his life would be in danger! ”

A group of reporters were left in place, staring at each other.

After a long time, someone finally asked tentatively, "...... them Are they playing a trick on us? ”

"You just know! The two of them play us together! ”

Suddenly, the group of reporters erupted in all kinds of angry roars, "Bastard! Damn it! ”

"Apollo reincarnated? The devil believes it! ”

"Why didn't he say God was reincarnated!"

'He just said Man City would win? That's what they came for! ”

“…………”

In the angry scolding of media reporters, Wan Sheng and Diamares had already left together.

What some of these staunch 'oppositionists' don't know is that others have other ideas.

Media reporters are not monolithic.

Among them are Manchester City's hostile media, as well as City's pro-media outlets.

The two stand completely from two angles.

The hostile media deeply hated that they were played by Wan Sheng and Diamares, and they felt a great shame; Manchester City's supporting media regarded this as a hype for the 'Manchester City Derby County game'.

That evening, The Guardian reported on the upcoming Manchester derby with a headline titled "Apollo's reincarnation prophecy: Community Shield, Manchester City beat Manchester United".

In the report, they took the hype of Diamares as the lead, saying, "Wan Sheng personally identified his assistant coach Gael Diamares as the incarnation of the reincarnation of the 'God of Prophecy' Apollo, and Diamares also prophesied it himself." In the Manchester derby two days later, Manchester City will beat their arch-rivals Manchester United. ”

Manchester City fans are happy to hear about it.

Other readers also saw the report and found the content very interesting, although they also supported Manchester City, but in another way, the feeling of saying it was different. It will make people read on with great interest, and at the same time look forward to the next Community Shield.

Soon other media outlets followed suit and reported on Diamares' 'prophecy'.

Manchester United's supporting media were so angry that they couldn't find 'the same subject' when they wanted to refute it, and Sir Alex Ferguson didn't come out to put on a show.

They can only watch the arrogance of Manchester City's media, and they can't come up with corresponding counter-attack means at all.

So they have to fight back elsewhere, such as talking about a transfer for Manchester United.

In the summer transfer market, Manchester United invested more money than Manchester City, replacing Chelsea. It became the largest spender in Europe.

Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson are worth more than £55 million together, and Tevez is also worth more than £75 million in the transfer market, according to media sources, Tevez has a two-year loan fee of £8 million, and the total price after turning into a regular is more than £20 million.

In comparison, Manchester City are much worse in terms of 'spending money'. Despite the additions of Spanish golden boy Fernando Torres and Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos, Manchester City have also sold leading goalscorer Nicolas Anelka. He is worth more than Torres, while Robert Carlos is a veteran who signed Manchester City on a free transfer and did not spend a penny on the club's transfer fee at all.

The other players who have arrived, Ljungberg, Martin Petrov, Elano Brummer, Glen Johnson, Giovanni Moricio and many more, are all worth just over £25 million, that is. Manchester City's transfer spending in the summer was only around £20 million.

Manchester United reached almost £75 million.

Manchester United spent money to buy stars, and Manchester United's supporting media can be considered to be Manchester United's strength. Manchester City, who spent only £20 million, were seen as "improving their quality but not improving much", a view supported by the fact that Torres could hardly be better than Nicolas Anelka, last season's top scorer.

Fernando Torres is Spain's golden boy, but his ability to adapt to the Premier League is a question; Anelka, who was the Premier League's top scorer last season and had a couple of goals in the Champions League, has been outstanding for a few seasons at Manchester City, and has no problem adapting to the Premier League.

Compared to the two players, Anelka is clearly the better of the two.

In fact, the value also says a lot, Torres is famous in Spain, he is still very young, everyone knows that he still has a lot of prospects, compared to Anelka, who is already 28 years old, and he is in the decline of his career in two years.

However, Anelka is worth more than Torres, which can be seen.

In short, many media believe that Manchester City's overall strength has not risen, but Manchester United has completed the squad after a summer, and Manchester United will be very much worth looking forward to in the new season.

is like the "Manchester Sport" comment on Manchester United's transfer, "The arrival of Hargreaves has enriched the type of Manchester United midfield, his wide range of movement and defensive toughness are lacking in Carrick and Scholes, and Hargreaves also has a certain ability to pass and control the ball, and he has more experience than Fletcher and O'Shea." The most important intention is that Manchester United's results against strong teams last season were not ideal, and the defeat of Milan made Manchester United unforgettable, and the lack of hardness in Manchester United's midfield confrontation was an important factor. Of course, there is also an implication that the introduction of the 26-year-old Hargreaves is in preparation for Scholes to fade out in one or two years. ”

"The purchase of Nani and Anderson is to provide rotation players for the main lineup, and at the same time reserve talent for the future."

"Nani is like C-Ronaldo when he first joined the team in 2003, talented but still to be polished, Ferguson is expected to take care of C-Ronaldo back then, gradually giving Nani the opportunity to play, the Portuguese kid's explosive period should not be this year. Anderson is in a similar situation to Nani, and the two may show their talent in some games, but it will take time to become a major mainstay. ”

The most exciting, and the most unpredictable, is Tevez.

Tevez made a name for himself with Argentine powerhouse Boca Juniors, who led Boca Juniors to a victory over AC Milan in the Toyota Cup at the end of 2003, made his debut in the World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay in 2004, and scored a crucial goal in the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Copa America in the same year to make Argentina reach the final. He then participated in the 2004 Olympics and became the top scorer with 8 goals. He scored a goal in the final to give Argentina their first Olympic title for a South American team.

Tevez then joined Brazilian league side Corinthians, along with international team-mate Javier Mascherano.

The move was frowned upon by Corinthians fans and even Brazilian President Lula, but a year later, Tevez captained the team and helped the team win the Brazilian league. and was named the fan's favorite player.

Tevez arrived in the Premier League under the arrangement of his agent, having played for West Ham United last year and failed to adapt to the pace of the Premier League, scoring his first Premier League goal in the final ten weeks of Premier League games, then scoring seven goals in the following games and netting in the last Premier League relegation game against Manchester United to keep the club relegated.

Maybe it's also because of the goal against Manchester United. Ferguson was tempted to bring in Tevez, but Tevez's move to Manchester United still had some twists and turns, because West Ham did not buy all the relevant Tevez financial rights from his manager in advance when they registered Tevez's right to play, which was in breach of the league's rules.

However, the penalty for West Ham was only £5.5 million, without deducting league points, but West Ham United must immediately take full ownership of Tevez.

At the end of the 2007 season, Sheffield United, who had been relegated, were extremely unhappy with the league committee's decision. Appealed at the corresponding hearings and then in the High Court, but ultimately to no avail.

Although West Ham are desperate to see the relegation hero stay in the squad. But at the end of June, Tevez moved to Manchester United after some twists and turns, wearing the number 32 shirt.

Ferguson has very high expectations for Tevez's arrival.

The attitude of the old jazz has influenced the media, and a lot of the media has reported on Tevez. They all regard him as the star of hope for Manchester United and are looking forward to his performance in the new season.

It is precisely because of the addition of stars such as Nani, Hargreaves, Anderson, and Tevez that Manchester United's supporting media has enough confidence to use the transfer of the two teams to make a fuss to refute Manchester City's media support for Manchester City.

In the 'war of words' between the two teams supporting the media. The Community Shield is approaching.

――――

The Community Shield, formerly known as the Charity Shield, is an annual tournament hosted by the English Football Association (FA) between the Premier League winners and the FA Cup winners.

Manchester City won both the Premier League and FA Cup last season and will face the second-placed team in the league, Manchester United, under the rules of the Community Shield.

So this edition of the Community Shield became the Manchester derby.

In the season when Wan Sheng was in charge of Manchester City, his first league game was against Manchester United, and now it is the Manchester derby, Wan Sheng still feels very interesting, like a reincarnation, two years ago now, he is preparing to play Manchester United, and it is still two years later.

There is really always a dispute between him and Manchester United.

According to the media, Wan Sheng doesn't care, it's just a 'warm-up' before the two teams fight, he just needs to care about the team.

In the warm-up game against Wigan Athletic, the team performed very well overall, but there were some problems, and the problem came from the new wide player Glen Johnson.

Glen Johnson's individual ability continues, with speed, body, and overhaul, and the defense is a little frizzy, but it is barely qualified, but after the warm-up game, Wansheng discovered Glen Johnson's problem, that is, ...... There are no advantages.

Glen Johnson is fast and has good passing ability, but he is a player who focuses on the back after all, and the frizziness of the defense is a big problem, and more importantly, his passing ability is very average, and in the team's tactical system, the play is always very lackluster.

Wansheng considered letting Glen Johnson play to his advantages and put his position in the forward line, but Glen Johnson's passing ability is not so outstanding, not to mention that compared with Ribery, who once played for Derbyshire, even compared with Morris, Silva and others, the technology is much worse, and most of his passing depends on speed, and technology, experience and anything can rarely be seen, that is. Glen Johnson's speed and dribbling make it difficult to help the team too much.

If Glenn Johnson is not allowed to play offensively, and only let him defend and cooperate with his teammates, he will be quite lacklustre, and if Wan Sheng is to judge, he is just a 'qualified substitute'. That's all.

If it were an ordinary player, it would be quite good to be a substitute for Manchester City, but Glenn Johnson is very talented, and his body and speed are all strengths.

Wan Sheng also knew that Glenn Johnson would definitely be great in the future, at least he had heard Glen Johnson's name, and that was certainly not in 2007.

In other words, Glen Johnson's future will not be as bleak as it is now 'abandoned by Chelsea FC'. The players who can 'kick out' in professional football must have a level of quality.

So how did he succeed?

Or is Glen Johnson just not suited to City's tactical style of play?

Wan Sheng doesn't believe that.

He can tweak the tactical strategy slightly for the new players, and he can also look at the attributes of each player's abilities, and under these conditions, any player will have a role in the team, such as Glenn Johnson. Being able to adapt quickly to tactics has proven its excellent ability. So, he's going to give Glenn Johnson some time.

With a day to go before the Community Shield, Wansheng approached Glen Johnson and told him directly that he would not be allowed to play against Manchester United.

Glen Johnson was a little disappointed, and he thought it would be difficult for him to get a chance to play. After all, Manchester City's teammates are indeed very good, but when they get the result, they are still sad.

Wan Sheng said to him, "Glenn, how far are you from the star?" ”

Suddenly I heard this question. Glen Johnson was stunned, star? How far away? If you compare it to those ordinary players, he is worth millions of pounds and has played for Chelsea FC, he is already a star, but Wan Sheng obviously does not mean that.

Glenn Johnson is a little confused.

Wan Sheng said bluntly, "I deserve to be those full-backs or full-backs who can play the main force in the big clubs, such as Cole, Robben, Ivan, David and so on. ”

He named a couple of full-backs who played in the Premier League.

Glenn Johnson was even more at a loss, he still didn't quite understand the gap between himself and those main players? What gaps can there be? Is it the importance that the manager attaches to himself?

Certainly not.

He suddenly remembered that when he played for Chelsea, the former manager Jose Mourinho said to himself, "Your defense is too frizzy, don't be so aggressive, be steady!" ”

So Glenn Johnson tentatively asked, "Is it my defense?" ”

Wan Sheng shook his head, "That's just a matter of experience. ”

"What's that?"

"I'm talking about technical ability." Wan Sheng said, "In the warm-up match with Wigan Athletic, I gave you 45 minutes, but your performance had no highlights at all, and the only few times you led people were either defended or ended up with an ordinary pass, which is equivalent to completely useless work, do you know what I mean?" ”

Glenn Johnson lowered his head.

He knows his own problems, he keeps breaking through in attack, and it is difficult to create opportunities for his teammates, but maybe it is just a lack of cooperation with his teammates.

Wan Sheng said as if he had seen through his heart, "Your key problem is that there are no outstanding characteristics!" I just asked you, the gap between you and those main players, you can't tell you, I'll tell you now, your gap lies in the lack of outstanding ability. What is the difference between a regular player and a star? The key is to stand out, like David Beckham's passing, and that alone is enough. ”

Glenn Johnson listened intently.

"So for the next period of time, I need you to do your best to train your passing ability, to make short passes with your teammates, to practice your long passing ability, and I believe that as long as you can work this, you will not be worse than those stars."

Wan Sheng said seriously.

Passing is very important for a wide player and a clever cross will certainly be welcomed by a bigger club.

Glen Johnson is not outstanding in passing, so he is very good, but he can only play as a full-back, even in the front court, it is difficult to stand out, and in addition, the defensive frizz also makes him very inconsistent in the full-back position, which may be the reason why Chelsea Football Club gave up on him, and he has not grown much in Chelsea for several seasons.

Wan Sheng reminded him to pay attention to this and asked him to try his best to train his passing as much as possible to be able to play well.

After giving Glen Johnson some guidance for future growth, Wansheng doesn't care about Glen Johnson's problems, after all, there are so many players in the team, and he can't train every one of them wholeheartedly.

He reminded that whether the specific players do it or not is their own problem, and they have grown into stars and benefited themselves, and it has little to do with Wansheng.

After that, Wansheng prepared wholeheartedly for the upcoming Community Shield.

For fans and media, the new season will not start until the first round of the league starts, and Wansheng has thought so in the past, the Community Shield, a chicken cup competition, there is no need to go all out, maybe it can only be regarded as a warm-up.

But this time the Community Shield was different because the opponent was Manchester United.

Manchester City and Manchester United, rivals in the same city, meet in the Community Shield, and winning becomes very important, and for both teams, winning each other means much more than winning the Community Shield.

The media coverage also shows that as the game approaches, news coverage of the Manchester derby has covered the whole of England.

"Manchester United have a complete squad and are back in the season and are the most promising team to win the title!"

"Manchester United Legends: Community Shield, Manchester United will win!"

"Manchester United have not been Manchester City's opponent for the last two years, and this game will be the same!"

"With the quality of Manchester City, even if we keep playing last season, it won't be a problem to win Manchester United."

“…………”

Amid the voices of support from all walks of life, the Community Shield with the meaning of the Manchester derby has become the beginning of the new season that all teams and fans are watching. (To be continued.) )
