While the British media were praising Manchester City's unbeaten record, Manchester City did not have time to reflect on the achievements, and after returning to Manchester, the whole team was focused on training.

This is Wansheng's request.

In January, Wansheng's training plan is only one - return to training.

The physical recovery, the fitness, everything is about 'recovery' because Manchester City have eight games to play in January!

Fighting on four fronts is no joke......

The league game against Newcastle United was just the beginning of January, and then there were two FA Cups, two League Cups and three league games, with a dense schedule of eight games a month, leaving the whole team without excitement and everyone knew what they were up against.

Wan Sheng did the mental work for the team, he said, "I know that each of you wants to relax for a while, even for a day or two...... When I get home with my girlfriend, my wife and children, and my family, I hope it will be easier, but now it's the best chance for the whole team and for each of you! ”

"I think when you retire and you look back on your career, you definitely think about this season. Whether we get there or not, at least for now, we're working on all the championship goals! ”

"Do you dare to imagine?"

'The league, the Champions League, the League Cup, the FA Cup, if we can achieve our goal, we will win the Premier League Grand Slam in May! I think each of you is eager for it. Maybe some of you think I'm setting my goals too high, or maybe I'm a bit unrealistic, but I believe in your ability and the quality of the team, and I think that as long as we work towards it, we have a chance to succeed! ”

"I hope that everyone among you is like me, and do your best to win the championships, and this will be an honor for the club and for each of you!"

“……”

Wan Sheng said a lot to the players, and for the first time in front of everyone, he detailed his goals for the season - all the championships including the league, cup and the Champions League.

It's a goal that makes a lot of players excited just thinking about it.

If the team can achieve this goal, it is not an exaggeration to call them 'dynasty', and the 'treble' won by Manchester United in '99 has been called a 'great achievement', and now they are just on their way to that goal, it is definitely worth remembering for a lifetime.

With this mentality, Manchester City ushered in the FA Cup.

According to the rules of the FA Cup, teams from the Premier League and the Championship will directly join the third round, which is the round of 64.

Manchester City were a bit out of luck as their first draw was against West Ham United, a strong team in the FA Cup round of 64.

Manchester City did quite well in this away cup game, starting the game with striker Giovanni Mourisio scoring the first goal and then Ljungberg's header in front of goal to seal the win.

The match surprised the British press.

In the eyes of many British media, the focus of Manchester City this season should be on the league and the Champions League, the cup is completely meaningless, before Manchester City played well in the League Cup, has entered the competition for the semi-finals, it is indeed a pity to give up, but the FA Cup against the Premier League team has just started, Manchester City is competing for this title, and there are many games to play, are they not afraid of affecting the results of other competitions?

Manchester City are the defending champions of the FA Cup, they won the FA Cup last season, and it doesn't make much sense to defend the FA Cup.

So what are they planning to do so hard in the FA Cup?

After the game, a media reporter interviewed Wan Sheng and asked about this question, Wan Sheng just shrugged his shoulders and said, "The FA Cup is important to every club in England, and of course we will not give up easily. ”

This answer is completely official, basically the same as nothing.

The FA Cup does have an extraordinary meaning for English clubs, but the problem is that whenever the FA Cup is played, there are still clubs who choose to give up on the FA Cup, and their approach is to send a group of substitutes, which means that they have no ambitions in the competition.

Many people thought that Manchester City would do this in the FA Cup, because of these many competitions, they are difficult to deal with, but this time, Manchester City also sent Silva and Torres, and they did not give up the game at all, and then they won the game and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup, which means that Manchester City did not give up the game.

So they gave up the Champions League?

Of course not.

Abandon the league?

No one believes that Manchester City are already top of the league, they have six points more than second-placed Manchester United, and the top spot in the league is very secure.

League Cup...... Manchester City have reached the last four and no team will be stupid enough to give up at this stage.

After all the list, Manchester City does not seem to have given up on any competition, so some media have come to a surprising conclusion - Manchester City has not given up on any competition, they are working hard for all the titles!

Lunatic!

That Chinese must be crazy!

Many media immediately gritted their teeth and said, "That Chinese is simply crazy, he actually wants to fight for every championship, he actually let the team fight on the fourth line in the second half of the field!" ”

"We must admit the strength of Manchester City, but people who are too greedy often end badly, and that Chinese is like this, he actually wants to fight for all the championships!"

"By the time we knew all this, we could already have imagined what was going to happen to that 'madman' – he and his team were definitely going to get nothing!"

"It's probably going to be the worst season for Manchester City!"

Manchester Stadium asserts.

When Manchester Stadium came to this conclusion, there were many media outlets who echoed it, but Manchester City simply ignored what they said.

On January 8, in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals, Manchester City challenged Arsenal away, and finally drew 2:2 at the Emirates Stadium.

Although it was a draw, considering that it was a two-legged match, Arsenal was playing at home again, and the score was very favorable to Manchester City.

After the game, Wan Sheng also expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, "We missed some chances in the game, but on the whole, the performance of the players was good. ”

'Arsenal are tenacious, Robin van Persie is playing well and it seems that he has adapted to the Premier League, but when we get to Manchester Stadium I think we will progress to the final!'

Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger laughed at Wansheng's must-win remarks, but the Frenchman didn't care, he just said, "The next round is in two weeks' time, and it's hard to say who will win and who will lose." ”

After that, there was no exchange of words between the two.

In fact, neither team had time to analyse the next leg of the meeting, and two days later in the 22nd round of the Premier League, Manchester City travelled to Everton.

Everton currently sit sixth in the league, behind city rivals Liverpool, which is still quite good compared to their previous results.

According to some media analysis, Manchester City's unbeaten run is likely to end at Goodison Park.

'Everton are in high spirits, they have won two games in a row recently, and the previous one was also a draw against Arsenal......

'Manchester City just went unbeaten in 59 league games, but I dare say they don't have much to think about the league anymore......

Soon Manchester City proved that they were still serious about playing the league with an away 2-0 win.

In the disappointment of some media, Wan Sheng grinned and said, "I don't know how many people want us to lose, but we will play every game seriously." Every step now is a new history for us, and those who detractor us simply cannot appreciate this. ”

"From today onwards, every step of the team is a new history, which gives our players, our whole team up and down, the motivation to fight!"

Wan Sheng's words made the Manchester City media rejoice, but soon the reporter asked the key question, "Can Manchester City maintain the fourth-line battle?" ”

"I can't guarantee how far the team will go, but we're working on it. ”

"Now I can say for sure that from the very beginning of this season, we went for all the titles."

'There was a lot of pressure on the schedule, but I was confident that the team would be able to persevere. Me and my team, we want to have a great season! ”

――――

At the press conference, Wan Sheng clearly stated his goals for this season, which caused a lot of discussion in the British media.

Manchester City's media are certainly backing Wan Sheng, and they are excited to announce the news to all fans, but the rest of the media have a different view, they don't want to see Manchester City produce a brilliant season, which is tantamount to failure for the team they support.

Therefore, the British media began to be optimistic about Manchester City, and some media even shouted directly, "That crazy Chinese has set a crazy goal!" ”

Wan Sheng knows the British media too well, and they will only look at things from a neutral point of view when they have nothing to do with their interests, so they certainly have no good news for Manchester City.

In the midst of these many voices, Wansheng resolutely led the team to continue to move forward.

On 20 January, Manchester City won the 23rd round of the league with a 2-1 win over West Ham United, and revised the unbeaten league record to 61 games.

On January 23, in the second leg of the English League Cup, Manchester City defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home, plus 2-2 in the first round, they advanced to the League Cup final with an aggregate score of 4-3.

At the end of February, they will face Manchester United for the title at Wembley Stadium.

On January 27, in the round of 32 of the FA Cup, Manchester City challenged Sheffield United away, and the final score was 3:0, and Manchester City successfully entered the FA Cup round of 16.

Then, on the 31st, Manchester City ushered in the last game of January - the league at home against Arsenal.

It was also the toughest game for Manchester City......
