In the Premier League, Manchester United and Manchester City are in a weak position, but in Europe, Manchester United are still very strong.

Manchester United's progress to the quarter-finals can also see something, they have basically encountered no crisis on the way to qualify, easily qualifying first in the group stage and easily eliminating Ligue 1 champions Lyon in the round of 16.

In Europe, Manchester United are undoubtedly a strong team.

In fact, many football professionals have not badly rated Manchester United when they evaluate the strength of various teams this season, because Manchester United's new generation, such as Wayne Rooney, C. Ronaldo, and O'Shea, have matured, and other young people, such as Fletcher, who came through Manchester United's academy, have matured and can perform in the Premier League.

"Manchester United have completed the transition between the old and the new."

This is the general view of the European media, and it is only because Manchester City led by Wan Sheng is too strong that Manchester United is weak.

In the European arena, compared with other European powerhouses, Manchester United is very strong, and even the Italian media believes that "it is difficult for Roma to threaten Manchester United", which shows Manchester United's status in European football.

At the same time, compared to the other three Premier League teams, Manchester United has clearly drawn a good draw in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Liverpool are going to meet Chelsea, the two teams met in the semi-finals in the 2004-2005 season, and now they meet again, it will definitely be a 'life or death', and Manchester City will face AC Milan, and it is not a good signing.

So after the draw came out, many people thought, "Manchester United has one foot in the last four of the Champions League." ”

The rest is up to the other three teams.

The big battle between Chelsea and Liverpool, whatever the outcome, will definitely 'lose' a Premier League team, so the clash between Manchester City and AC Milan is the most suspenseful.

Wan Sheng is very satisfied with the draw to AC Milan.

In fact, last season's Champions League quarter-final loss to AC Milan was a 'heart disease' for Wan Sheng, before that, he led the team to never suffer a setback in all competitions, but that time he fell in front of AC Milan.

When the draw results came out, Wan Sheng shook his fist fiercely.

"Best result!" He opened his mouth and roared.

Wan Sheng's action was done at the scene of the draw, many reporters filmed it, most people don't understand Wan Sheng's mentality, they think that Manchester City drew the 'next sign', but Wan Sheng has been thinking about 'revenge' for a long time.

He was knocked out by AC Milan last year and he wants to win it back this year!

There is a saying in China, 'where you fall, you have to get up', last season was eliminated by AC Milan, Wansheng is afraid that he will not be able to complete revenge, and he can't press AC Milan to get up, which must be a pity.

In Europe, the chances of two teams meeting each other are not very high, and no one knows when the next time his team will meet AC Milan.

Now, here's your chance!

Wansheng believes that when he meets AC Milan, he and everyone in the team will be very motivated!

After the draw for the quarterfinals, a reporter asked directly, "Mr. Wan Sheng, what do you think about the draw for AC Milan?" The other party also reminded that "Manchester City met AC Milan last season, and now it is the quarterfinals, and AC Milan again...... which means that it seems to guide Wan Sheng to consider the possibility of UEFA 'cheating', after all, Manchester City and AC Milan meet, and there is a lot of publicity to say.

However, Wan Sheng was very satisfied and said, "I am very happy to meet AC Milan, this is the best result!" ”

"Why?" Some reporters don't understand.

Wan Sheng said with an excited face, "We lost to AC Milan here last year, and now we want to win back!" We were knocked out last year, AC Milan qualified, and now it's time for them to taste what it will be like to be eliminated as the defending champions! ”

Suddenly, the surrounding reporters understood.

This young Chinese is just not convinced and wants to lead the team to win back!

A reporter followed up and asked, "Mr. Wan Sheng, it seems that you are very confident to lead the team through AC Milan?" ”

"Of course, there is no doubt that we can definitely win against AC Milan!"

――――

Wan Sheng's resolute expression was used as a report picture by many media, and what he said was also included in the report by the media word for word.

"Of course, there is no doubt that we can definitely win against AC Milan!"

This sonorous phrase has attracted the attention of all over Europe, and in the Champions League, there are many people who talk about winning before the game, but when the opponent is AC Milan, there is no talk of 'sure win'.

In the past, Manchester United, Barcelona and other teams, when they met AC Milan, they could only say, "try your best", and they also talked about the preparation situation, which means to express, "Our winning rate is not small", but it is by no means a sure win.

Wan Sheng faced AC Milan but talked about a must-win.

These words also made the Italian media furious, they thought that AC Milan was not a good sign when they met Manchester City, but they did not say that 'AC Milan must lose', they did not expect that this young Manchester City coach would dare to talk about 'must win' when they met AC Milan.

"It's a contempt for Italian football!" "Milan Sport" raised Wan Sheng's words to the level of contempt for Italian football as a whole.

Other Italian media outlets were not so directly sarcastic and did not speak very well.

After all, AC Milan is the winner of the Champions League last season, although there is basically no suspense in the 'revenge final' with Liverpool, but AC Milan is also the champion and the hegemon, and it is not easy for any team to eliminate AC Milan.

Even if Manchester City has won the Premier League for two consecutive seasons, they are AC Milan's 'defeated players' after all, and only last year's Champions League performance only entered the quarterfinals.

Still...... Revenge?

It's ridiculous!

Then the Italian media will start to imagine the scene of AC Milan beating Manchester City by a big score with a concerted and hateful heart, and then they will let the world know that even if Manchester City is the Premier League champion, there is still a big gap between them and the Italian representative team AC Milan.

“…… Manchester City have been doing well in the Premier League, but AC Milan showed them how far they could from Europe's top clubs last season. Now that they have met AC Milan again, they have actually said the ridiculous remark of 'must win', which shows that their Chinese coach is still too young after all, and he has no idea how difficult it is to win against AC Milan! ”

After that, technical analysis, "AC Milan is not worse than Manchester City in any aspect, and even said that it is the world's top in every aspect, Kaka is the best player in the world, and only Morris can match Kaka's performance in Manchester City, but the latter is old, and has been injured recently, it is difficult to say what form can be used to comeback, compared to other fronts, Manchester City is quite immature......"

"Manchester City have a strong attacking football and have played very well in the Premier League, but their so-called 'OS-F' is only effective in the Premier League, and when it comes to the more technically demanding Champions League, it is actually nothing......

"The young Chinese coach has a good record in charge of Manchester City, but Italian football is different from English football, if he comes to Serie A, maybe it will be difficult for him to lead the team to even relegation, after all, the Italian chain defense can create quite a lot of problems for any team that is good at attacking......"

After a long time in the report, it was all one sentence - Italian football does not recognize Wansheng's coaching ability, and his 'must win' is completely unreasonable.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's right-hand man and AC Milan vice-president Galliani was also interviewed, and he only smiled dismissively at Wan Sheng's 'must-win'.

"The Chinese? He's always had a big mouth! ”

――――

AC Milan is owned by Berlusconi, Italy's richest man, who is the founder of the center-right Forza Italia party and has served as Italy's prime minister twice.

In this sensitive period, no matter which team AC Milan is about to face in the Champions League, Berlusconi will definitely not make a public appearance, so AC Milan is in charge of everything externally.

As Berlusconi's assistant, Adriano Galliani has a pivotal role in Italian football, he is considered one of the best managers in world football, and the development of AC Milan is undoubtedly inseparable from Galliani's contribution, which has been in good order and outstanding for more than two decades.

Every word spoken by such a heavyweight can be on the pages of major European media.

Adriano Galliani's evaluation of Wansheng quickly appeared in major media reports, and many media in the UK also reported on it, and at the same time, media reporters were also waiting for Wansheng's response.

In the face of media interviews, Wan Sheng appeared friendly, he said, "Mr. Galliani has a different opinion? Hah-"

"I think in a little more than a month, he will be on the same page as me."

Wan Sheng is not a person who is willing to be 'scolded', Galliani's disdainful words are insulting in his opinion, so he immediately said, "I see a lot of Italian media analysis of AC Milan and our game, and they keep mentioning a name - Kaka, I admit that he is indeed one of the best footballers in the world, but I also have a different opinion, Kaka performed well in AC Milan, but in fact he is not suitable for AC Milan, he should leave Italy to find a more suitable team for him." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to object! I will prove what I say with victory. ”

Wan Sheng said that Kaka just wanted to make some trouble for AC Milan.

Don't you Italians talk a lot about Kaka?

Then I'll lead the team to beat you, and then use the victory to say, Kaka is not suitable for AC Milan, what will Kaka think when the time comes?

What would AC Milan think?

AC Milan will not only lose at that time, they will also need to worry about whether their star players will leave...... Perhaps they were already in trouble before they played Manchester City, as Real Madrid had always been interested in Kaka.

Now Wan Sheng will mention it again, and the Spanish media will make trouble for AC Milan.

Wan Sheng didn't care about the next thing, he just watched Galliani unhappy and disgusted with AC Milan.

Since then, Manchester City has been preparing for the Champions League.

For the current Manchester City, there is nothing to prepare for in the league, just like some media said, they have to shift their focus to the 'Champions League', after all, if they make a choice in the Champions League and the league, he and the team will almost certainly choose the Champions League, not to mention, they still have a 6 points advantage in the league, and their league competition pressure is much less.

City have five games to play before AC Milan – one in the FA Cup and four in the league.

Wan Sheng believes that March is the time for Manchester City to grab points, because the next four league opponents in a row are easy teams to deal with, even if the team does not prepare seriously, the team must play every game seriously.

On March 8, the 29th round of the English Premier League kicked off, Manchester City challenged Reading, and after 90 minutes of battle, Manchester City defeated Reading 3:1.

After the league victory, Manchester City had no time to rest and they hosted Cardiff the next day.

It's the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Although the game was important, Cardiff was indeed not a strong team, and in the end, with a set and a half of the main line-up, Manchester City easily beat Cardiff 2-0 at home to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.

Then, on March 16, the 30th round of the Premier League arrived, and Manchester City's opponent in this round was Tottenham Hotspur.

The game was meaningful for Manchester City as Morris returned from injury and when it was learned that Morris was in the squad for the game, there was a lot of media at the Manchester stadium who wanted to know what Morris would be like after the injury.

Wan Sheng gave Morris a start.

Morris was still in the re-adaptation stage, and he didn't have a good performance in the first half, so he could only say that he did the job of a central midfielder, but in the second half, Morris had a good performance, he passed the ball to the right to give Silva a chance, Silva received the ball and pushed it straight into the six-yard box, Darren Bent followed up to send the ball into the goal.

Manchester City also won 1-0 against Tottenham Hotspur with this goal.

But after the game, many media thought that Morris was 'not recovering well', because compared to his previous performance, this game was much worse.

"He's just recovered."

In his post-match press conference, Wan Sheng explained for Morris, "You can't expect a player who has been away from the game for three months to do as well as he did before, it will take him a while to get back into form. ”

However, Wan Sheng is still worried about Morris's form.

In the football training master system, it can be clearly seen that Morris's technical strength has not declined, so the main impact is actually his own mentality.

After all, it has been a short time since he was injured, and it is normal for Morris to not be able to fully exert his strength.

During the second day of training, Wan Sheng knew about Morris and talked about it, "Lee, don't be affected by previous injuries, I think you are the best in the team. ”

Morris knew what Wan Sheng was talking to him, and he also said calmly, "But...... Boss, when I play, I'm always afraid of getting hurt again......"

"Afraid of getting hurt?"

Wan Sheng frowned and stared at Morris, he knew that he had to find a way to solve Morris's mental problems. (To be continued.) )
