The game is over.

Wan Sheng took the initiative to find Bolton coach Sam Allardyce to shake hands, and Allardyce was already waiting in place.

The two teams looked at each other, hands clasped together.

Suddenly, Allardyce's face was full of pain.

The morale boost before the game has long since disappeared, leaving only helplessness, he never expected the game to be played like this - 0:5, a score that the whole Bolton team could not accept.

"I didn't expect to lose so badly!" Allardyce smiled wryly and said, "I thought there was a chance, but your performance was too good. There's nothing new about your tactics, but I can see the gap between my team and yours. ”

'Morris, Anelka, David Beckham, I don't really know what to say. I'm not surprised if you say now that you can win the league and even the European title, your players...... It's amazing! ”

Allardyce said approvingly, and this was how he really felt.

Allardyce never thought that Manchester City's strength would be so strong, Manchester City has several outstanding players, such as Morris, Anelka, David Silva, and even David Beckham, who just joined, but these players are just ordinary stars in front, Beckham is also old, 31-year-old he will definitely not have the state of the former superstar, they are worse than the real superstars.

Speaking of the lineup, among the Premier League teams, the best lineup is Manchester United and Chelsea, and down to Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and other teams, as for Manchester City, they are the defending champions, but they leave the impression that there is no 'strong lineup', and they rely more on tactics and overall cooperation to win.

After this game, Allardyce is clear - Manchester City's player ability is absolutely the best in the world!

Take Lee Morris, who played well in this game. His performance is definitely no worse than Barcelona's Ronaldinho and AC Milan's Kaka!

Nikola Anelka?

That's another Fanny, who is not bad at all!

David Beckham? Who can tell when the 31-year-old England 'former captain' found his 25-year-old form?

Allardyce couldn't understand it.

The only thing he can be sure of is that many of City's players are very strong and in great form, but their ability has been underestimated by the outside world.

There are many players to list, Ivan Crewe, goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, and even the youngsters Ozil and Boateng who played in the second half. These players are all 'middle-stream' players in the top league, but their performance is equivalent to tens of millions of stars, so many top stars come together, and they are in outstanding form and cooperate tacitly, it is clear why Bolton lost 0:5!

It's not a matter of tactics, it's all about the difference in strength!

Wan Sheng's statement to Allardyce is not surprising, in fact, the core point of this game is to 'crush with the ability of the players', and if you have strength, you must play your strength. Completely crush the weaker team in order to guarantee the best possible win.

The ancients said, 'Use your own strengths and attack the weaknesses of others' is this truth.

The current Manchester City has this ability!

According to the lineup, there is still a big gap between Manchester City and the top giants, such as Manchester United and AC Milan. After all, most of the team is composed of young players, but when it comes to the field, under the attributes and abilities of various coaching skills, Manchester City will never be much weaker.

Wan Sheng did not answer anything. This is also considered modesty in front of the 'seniors', and Allardyce continued, "Wan Sheng. You're not even thirty yet, are you? ”

"I'm just turning thirty this summer."

Allardyce's face became even more bitter when he heard this.

Sam Allardyce is 53 years old this year, and looking back on his life, it can be regarded as a smooth journey, joining Bolton Wanderers at the age of 15, which was considered a young talent at the time, and then spent 11 years at Bolton.

After retiring from the game at the age of 35, he began his coaching career as an assistant coach at West Bromwich Albion, and after a decade of training and training, he became the manager of Bolton, who was still an League One side (second tier) and led them to the FA Cup and League Cup semi-finals in his first year in charge, and used League One play-off qualification to successfully promote to the Premier League.

From taking over Bolton to the present, Allardyce has done a good job, using the club's transfer funds of no more than £7 million approved in a single season, he has led the team to stabilize the Premier League results, and led the team to a top-eight finish last season and last season.

Compared with other team managers who rely on burning money to stay in business, Allardyce's results have surprised many media and fans.

Looking back on his coaching journey, Allardyce feels a bit of a legend because he has hardly experienced any ups and downs and has always been very successful, but ...... Compared to the young man in front of him, he is really nothing.

The other party is not yet 30 years old, and he has just officially coached the top league for more than two seasons, and has already won two Premier League titles, a League Cup title, two FA Cup titles, a League Cup title, plus the league championship that is almost within reach this season, which is equivalent to his own consecutive Premier League titles, the key is that he is not in charge of the giants - the promoted Derby County, the 'internal and external' Manchester City.

These are unthinkable results!

In contrast, Allardyce has a frustration that is very helpless in his professional life.

――――

There was a lot of media coverage of the game after the game.

There are two key points, one is Manchester City's big win, 5-0, which is rare in the Premier League, especially Manchester City is still playing away, which makes the score even more surprising.

The other is David Beckham's free-kick goal, he has been the focus of English media attention since Beckham arrived at Manchester City, but no one expected that Beckham would start in the first league game, and also scored two goals, becoming the best player of the game, and his first iconic free-kick goal also became the best goal of the Premier League of the round.

The media coverage of the game revolves around two points.

"At the end of the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated Bolton Wanderers 5-0 away, which is also Manchester City's eighth consecutive win in the league!"

"Before the game, Manchester City coach Wan Sheng said that Bolton wanted to get a point was 'wishful thinking', and in the end he did it, 5:0, Bolton coach Sam Allardyce didn't know how to face this 'human tragedy', he admitted that there is a big gap between Bolton and Manchester City!"

"Also, David Beckham started for Manchester City in this game and scored his first goal since coming to Manchester City, a trademark 'scimitar arc' free-kick!"

With the words of the TV commentator, the picture also switched to the slow motion of Beckham's free kick, this classic curling ball, which was quoted and broadcast by many sports TV stations, and after being posted on the Internet, it soon had hundreds of thousands of views.

In addition to this free-kick goal, Beckham also used a lob from a tight angle in the second half to help Manchester City score another goal, and finally Manchester City won the away game by five goals, and Beckham also won the 'Man of the Match' award from the FA after the game.

In addition to the sports TV coverage, other media reports were also hot.

Manchester City's media are excited because Manchester City have won eight in a row and Beckham, who has joined in the winter, has also performed extremely well, and many people thought that Manchester City's performance would drop after Christmas, but the game proved that this claim was completely unfounded, and Manchester City not only did not decline, but also improved from the first half.

When Manchester City's media reported on it, they were not stingy with their praise at all.

"England is about to usher in the Manchester City era!"

That's the title of their coverage of the game, and the meaning is very obvious, the word 'era' will be used for a team to 'dominate' the whole league, Manchester City won the league last season, but a title is far from being called an era, if Manchester City can win the title again this season, it will really be 'close to the era'.

Analyzing the meaning of this title, that is, Manchester City is ready for a second league title!

――――

Manchester City played well and David Beckham played well, but after this round, the biggest focus was not on Manchester City, but on Chelsea.

Indeed, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been in the media for recent days amid news that he will be leaving Chelsea in the summer.

So far, this news has been confirmed.

For the past week, Mourinho has been the target of media hype in England.

The Sunday Mirror was the first to point out that Guus Hiddink would replace Jose Mourinho, while the latest online edition of The Sun put Mourinho's contract chart on the front page with the headline "He will leave".

Chelsea's 4-0 win over Wigan Athletic in this round of the league was a big win worth paying attention to, but the content of Mourinho's interview after the game had nothing to do with the game, and the Portuguese admitted in an interview that the 'recruitment proposal' was rejected by the club, "Yes, it's the truth, I wanted some people, but I was told I couldn't get it." I don't have to tell you why, that's the club's reason. I don't have a choice, it's not my club, I'm just the manager. ”

Mourinho said something subtle, but it was not difficult to hear the overtones.

In fact, the club has a huge investment in the team, but he has not won the title for two consecutive seasons, and with the English media constantly questioning and criticising him, he has been under a lot of pressure for a long time.

Now that the club has shown signs of dissupport, his situation can be imagined.

Maybe it's all thanks to Wansheng.

If he could win a trophy in two seasons in charge, the pressure would not be so great now, but without ifs, failing to bring a title makes the club distrust him, and with Abramovich himself in a bit of a crisis, it will be too difficult for him to get support.

So now the only way for him to leave is to leave. (To be continued.) )
