Chapter 208: Set a Small Goal First!
Mancini will definitely have a hard time in the coming days, but this has nothing to do with Wansheng, he and Mancini have no personal conflicts, they are just opponents who directly clash on the field, and the two are not familiar with each other, Wansheng will not think about Mancini in vain.

For leading the team to play against Manchester City, Wan Sheng is still very touched.
Although there is some 'sympathy' for Manchester City's European results, it is Mancini's responsibility and has nothing to do with Wan Sheng, the important thing is that Wan Sheng leads the team to win the game, and Atletico Madrid will have an easier time in the group stage later.
As for the impact on Manchester City...... Professional football is a winner's world, and if you think about it in a different position, Manchester City easily wins Atletico Madrid, then the ridicule becomes Wansheng.
The final match ended 0-3.
Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester City away, and at the end of the day, the outcome has been decided, and everyone doesn't care much about the game itself, but begins to care about the post-game.
In the mixed zone, there are a number of media reporters waiting, interviewing passing players, coaches and even staff including the team doctor.
What do the Manchester City players have to say?
They are basically not in a good mood, that is, David Silva, Wang Xiaolei, etc., like Manchester City fans, players who have great confidence in Wansheng have been prepared for losing before the game, and they can accept it a little bit in their hearts, but as Manchester City players, they can't say words of praise for their opponents.
The player who was a surprise was Lescott.
Lescott was not the absolute main force when Wansheng was in charge, but he was also a player who was labeled as Wansheng's 'descendant', he bravely stood in front of the camera, and denied that the reason for the loss was that "Wansheng was once the manager of Manchester City".
'Man City are a professional team, we are professional players and everyone in the team has worked hard enough in the game, but there are many gaps between us and Atletico and these are things that we need to improve.
'Nobody wants to lose, but somebody loses, somebody wins, and that's the way football is and unfortunately it's our turn.
'A lot of people say we have little hope of qualifying for the Champions League, but I'm sure everyone in the team hasn't given up and now we only have one point, but we still have hope to qualify. We will take every game seriously! β
When asked what he thinks of "Wansheng and Mancini", Lescott said tactfully, "I think both are very good managers. This answer alone shows how Lescott has grown in recent years, he is no longer the immature young defender he once was, and this answer has not offended anyone.
The media reporters were somewhat disappointed that they didn't get the results they wanted, but they still let Lescott go, after all, Lescott is an England international, and the English media prefers players from their own country, and they will not push an England international too much.
At the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng showed up very early, and Mancini was slow to come, and he obviously did not want to meet Wan Sheng.
Wan Sheng spoke.
Because it was a game against Manchester City, Wan Sheng was the focus, and he couldn't say anything before the game, which would affect the normal game.
Now he can say it happily.
'A lot of people are asking me how it's like to play against Manchester City. I have only one answer: I and my team will give it our all. The score now proves that no matter what opponent we face, we will play well seriously. β
A reporter immediately asked Mancini, "What do you think of Mancini?" Will he be the right leader for Manchester City? β
This is a reporter from The Guardian, who used to be an absolute supporter of Wansheng, and they still support Wansheng, perhaps because Mancini's results in leading the team to the Champions League are really hopeless.
Wan Sheng didn't want to criticize his peers directly, which was a bit unethical, so he just said, "I don't know Mancini, I don't know him." City's performance today was a bit disappointing, but they had a decent run in the league. β
This somewhat plausible answer disappointed the media reporters, but Wan Sheng's next words made the media reporters feel very excited.
Wan Sheng said of City's development, "When I left Manchester City, the team was the European champions, the best team to win three consecutive Premier League titles. But after that, Manchester City's results took a sharp turn, and they couldn't even get a place in the Champions League, I don't know how the manager who took over led the team, but it was true, and to be honest, Mancini accepted Manchester City, and the team's results still improved. β
"No big club is built in a day, and Manchester City need to come step by step if they want to get back to the top. I'm sure a lot of people are disappointed with City's results in the Champions League, but maybe losing the Champions League is good news for City, which means they can focus on the league. β
"It's not easy to play on two or three fronts and get good results at the same time, Manchester City's results are improving, they want to return to the glory of 2008, they need to take it step by step, it is too difficult to play well in the league and the Champions League together, so I think Manchester City must first set a small goal, such as winning the league first."
"It's a bit of an achievement to win a league title, and it's more practical to think about the Champions League later......"
"It's the same with me leading the team, if you can't even compete in the league, then it's very unrealistic to want to cross over to the Champions League and get results......
Wan Sheng sat in his position and talked eloquently.
If other coaches say this, they will definitely be sprayed by the media, 'set a small goal first, such as winning the league championship first', this goal is ...... Is it really small? The Premier League is arguably the most competitive!
But Wan Sheng is sitting here, which is equivalent to persuasion, because he led the team to the top league, and won the league championship every season in the past.
After hearing Wansheng's words, some Manchester City supporters couldn't help but think: Maybe as Wansheng said, it's good to lose the Champions League? Manchester City is bent on competing in the league, first win the league title?

Atletico Madrid didn't spend the night in Manchester.
On the evening of the match, Atletico Madrid flew back to Madrid, but the conversation about Wansheng and Manchester City continued in the city and throughout England.
On the Internet, on TV, in news reports, almost all of them are discussing the game.
The Guardian, a Manchester-backed media outlet, said: "After Wan Sheng left Manchester City, all Manchester City people must be clear about the fact that not all managers in the world are Wan Sheng. Wan Sheng is unique, he led Manchester City's glory and is an unrepeatable miracle. Mancini is actually very good, but against the backdrop of Wansheng, he looks very mediocre. β
The Guardian expressed their support for Mancini, and they also quoted Wan Sheng's sentence "Set a small goal first, such as winning the league championship" to illustrate, "If Mancini can lead the team to win the league championship, he has completed the task, and no team in the world can win the league championship with a large amount of money, such as Chelsea, because of Wan Sheng, even when Manchester United and Arsenal are at a low point, Mourinho can only lead the team to second place in the league." β
The Guardian is Manchester City's support media, they will not report negative news about Manchester City, nor will they openly oppose the manager of Manchester City, but other media are different, the Times said, "Manchester City is a team with the ability to win the championship, whether it is the league or the Champions League, they have enough strength, but the key is that Mancini, as the head coach, does not have enough European experience, he once coached Inter Milan, and he has not been able to play well in the Champions League, and now he is the same in Manchester City." β
"Mancini won't play in Europe, so Manchester City won't play in Europe, which is the direct reason for Manchester City's poor performance in Europe!"
"Manchester City must recognize this fact, Manchester City President Mubarak gave Mancini a chance, one season, two seasons, and now it is the third season, maybe Mancini can lead the team to win the league championship, we temporarily think that Manchester City can beat Manchester United, Chelsea and other strong teams, to win the Premier League this season, then Mancini has a great chance to stay, but next season, he must lead the team to the Champions League, then how to say that he can't play well?"
Just like the Times, many media outlets have criticized Mancinho's poor ability to fight in Europe.
Wansheng was unanimously praised.
I think back then, when Wan Sheng coached Manchester City, he also got a lot of criticism, but now that he left Manchester City and went to Madrid, he has little intersection with English football, and at this time, there will be no more British media to stand up against Wan Sheng, that is meaningless, more importantly, Wan Sheng led the team to win the game, and the winner can always be praised.
Compared to Mancini, Wansheng's excellence is obvious.
In addition to England, Spain, Italy and other countries, there are also many media talking about the game, talking about the relationship between Wansheng and Manchester City, and many media are shocked that Manchester City fans miss Wansheng.
"Look at this young Chinese, after he chose to leave Manchester City, there are so many fans who support him, and like other coaches, it is difficult to get this kind of treatment, and some coaches will make the fans happy after they leave the team."
"As" newspaper used a memorable sentence to evaluate Wan Sheng and Manchester City, "Wan Sheng has left, but Manchester City has remembered him deeply, we don't know how long this memory will last, but it is certain that as long as Manchester City does not win the next European championship, Manchester City will always remember the 'legend' left by Wan Sheng." β
ββββ
Back in Spain, the conversation about Manchester City has nothing to do with Atletico Madrid.
Wansheng is thinking about the league.
Atletico Madrid's next opponent is Mallorca, who drew with Real Madrid and Barcelona at the beginning of last season, and Laudrup's team was in full swing for a while. But as the season wore on, Mallorca's squad problems due to financial crisis were also exposed, and the island's results plummeted.
In the final round of La Liga, Mallorca only narrowly avoided relegation.
In the summer, Mallorca lost their main centre-forward Webb, which made Laudrup's tactical system completely overhauled, and in terms of personnel introductions, Mallorca still don't have any big-name new signings due to financial resources.
This Mallorca team is undoubtedly a team aiming for relegation, but their previous results are not bad, three wins and two draws in seven games, Mallorca is in the upper middle of the league, the results are maintained, there is certainly no relegation pressure, and even have the opportunity to compete for European qualification.
Even at home, against such an uncertain Mallorca team, Atletico Madrid has to deal with it seriously.
Wan Sheng fielded the strongest squad he could, and he determined the status of each player based on the 'Eye of Condition Evaluation', and only decided on the starting lineup an hour before the game.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid's overall performance was still a little worse, Mallorca were lucky to score in the opening game, and Atletico Madrid have been trying to equalize since then.
In the 71st minute, Atletico Madrid relied on Falcao's goal to equalize.
In the end, the two sides fought to a 1-1 draw.
Facing Mallorca at the Estadio CalderΓ³n to reach 1-1 is equivalent to losing for Atletico Madrid, and many players are a little unacceptable, so the vast majority of players are not in a good mood.
Except for Falcao.
Falcao scored the only goal for the team, which was also the first goal scored by the Colombian in La Liga, and after the game, Wan Sheng returned to the dressing room and the first thing he said was to congratulate Falcao on his goal.
"Well done!"
Wan Sheng praised Falcao's performance and told everyone not to take the results to heart.
'No team can say they can win, they played well and we played well, we just lacked a bit of luck. If there is a second game, I am sure we will win the game, but football is like that, you have to adapt, the league is 38 games, one game doesn't matter, just work harder in the future. β
Wansheng's comfort was very effective, and many people took a long breath.
But the impact of the draw was still great, Atletico Madrid lost the first place in the league, and Real Madrid sat at the top of the league table for the first time with a wave of four consecutive wins, one point more points than Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona also failed to win this round, perhaps also affected by the Champions League, Barcelona drew 0-0 with Sevilla, the whole game, Barcelona dominated the whole game, but never got the goal, Messi missed a penalty before the end, Iniesta shot the crossbar once, Canute and Fernando Navarro were sent off with red cards.
In the end, Barcelona could only accept a draw.
After this draw, Barcelona has fallen to fourth place in the league, and the other team that no one expected was Malaga, who played well in successive games and with a wave of three consecutive wins, they overtook Barcelona and moved up to third place in the standings.

ps: There is a major crisis in the monthly pass, vomiting blood and asking for a monthly pass! To tell the truth, the sports classification basically depends on subscription, and the book of Xiao X has been written until now, and it is left to follow up with the parents, so the monthly ticket award every month is still very important, if you take 1500 yuan less, ...... next month? Can you save the cost of your daughter-in-law's clothes and shoes? Hey, my legs are numb, and I'm ready to kneel on the washboard...... (To be continued.) )
