Chapter 62: Anelka
Many media outlets have reported David Moyes' assessment of Manchester City, but their comments are mostly sarcastic about Moyes.
The Sun believes David Moyes is making a big fuss, and Manchester City's one-goal win over Everton at home is normal, as for Moyes's statement that 'there is no hope in the whole game', he is simply touting the opponent for the result of the loss.
The "Liverpool Times", which has always been at odds with Everton, believes that David Moyes is afraid of Manchester City, or rather, he is afraid of Wansheng, since last season, he has been losing against Wansheng, until now, so he has a shadow in his heart that Wansheng's team is invincible.
The Liverpool Times mocked David Moyes for this, claiming, "Evertoners are scared!" ”
It is rare for the Guardian, who supports Manchester City, to agree with Moyes because Moyes is touting Manchester City, "He's right, Everton have been suppressed all game and they have no hope of winning. ”
'This is Manchester City for the new season and we should expect them to play better, even better than Chelsea'
Various media have commented on the game, and there is still some influence, at least this has made many teams wary of Manchester City.
At the beginning of the season, Manchester City's good results were difficult to notice, because everyone felt that Manchester City was only a Premier League powerhouse, and they did not invest much in the summer to replenish the squad, and even if there was a lot of improvement, it would not be too much, at least not to the extent of competing for the league title.
Now they find that view wrong, simply because the Manchester City boss was the one who led Derby County to the Premier League title last season.
Under the leadership of the young Chinese, Manchester City have achieved quite well, winning seven of the opening eight rounds, the only one of which was a draw, which in previous years was enough to make them overwhelmingly stable at the top of the league, and it is only this season that Chelsea have been strong enough for Manchester City to settle for second.
But that doesn't mean Manchester City can't compete for the league title!
For example, in the last two rounds of the league. Neither Newcastle United nor Everton were easy to play against, but Manchester City emerged victorious, and both Newcastle United boss Souness and Everton boss David Moyes were shocked by City's performance, which already says something.
In short, this Manchester City team must not be underestimated!
Their young manager said 'the goal is only relegation', but who knows if it's true? And even if the goal is relegation, you can work hard to win the championship if you have good results!
So after this round, the discussion about Manchester City began to heat up
Wan Sheng didn't care about the media discussion. He just glanced at the news and said it for fun, and it didn't matter to him what the media commented on because there was no news that would affect the team.
After leading the team to win over Everton, the team has won five in a row, and the 'five consecutive wins' season achievement task can be submitted, but Wan Shengli ignored it, he must be aiming for the next ten consecutive wins. It's five wins in a row now, and a 10-game winning streak is also something to look forward to, and the mission rewards are a little more experience.
For him now, experience is what counts.
At the same time. He is also taking time to continue writing his research paper, which he has put a lot of effort into, and in the summer, due to time constraints, Anita helped to organize the work. He had come to Manchester to lead the training and he felt that he owed a lot of debt to Anita, a young girl who was 'not very good-tempered'. But it's still serious about helping yourself.
If you have the opportunity, this favor must be replaced.
Anita helped him do the complicated sorting work, and now what he needs to do is to make a summary of the sorted things according to his own thoughts, and draw conclusions after an orderly analysis.
It's not a complicated job, but it's brain-intensive.
It's like solving a somewhat complex equation, and you can draw conclusions by following the way you solve it, but the process of solving it is still very brain-consuming and takes a certain amount of time.
Wan Sheng estimated that according to the speed at which he could find time to do something, it would be at least a few months, and the overall thesis would not be perfected until around Christmas.
But the thought of having a result, he actually felt good.
When he started doing research, Ben Hockwald didn't think that there would be any results at all, he was actually not 100% confident, he just wanted to try, he didn't expect that success was just around the corner, although he had to wait a few months, but he thought that once his research was published, it would definitely cause a certain sensation, and he felt that everything was worth it.
This is scientific research!
It's really interesting for a professional football coach to do a scientific study and then be recognized by a lot of people, and Wansheng is looking forward to it.
What will colleagues and players call themselves then? Professor Wansheng!? What a proud title!
While Wan Sheng was busy with the team and the paper, the team's main striker Nicola Anelka was also worried about something.
He was worried about what his brother had said.
Anelka's older brother, Claude Anelka, is also one of his agents, and the reason for this is 'one' because he has two agents, the other being Eric Manasse.
A few years ago, Anelka had only one agent, and that was Claude Anelka, and the two were brothers and had a close relationship, so Anelka stepped into professional football, and Claude became his agent.
But perhaps because of their family conditions when they were young, the brothers were very fond of money, and Claude hoped that after he became an agent, he could help the two make more money.
So Anelka's continuous transfer began.
Claude has only one goal as an agent - to help his brother get a higher salary and help himself get more share, and for this purpose, Anelka began to transfer constantly, as long as the club's salary does not satisfy him, or there is no absolute main position, or the club is difficult to become a springboard for professional advancement, he will arrange a transfer for Anelka.
Anelka was originally born in the French club Paris Saint-Germain, but he had a better chance of going to Arsenal, so he immediately switched to Arsenal, and then he won the best young player in the Premier League in 1999, but because of the youthful ambition, coupled with Claude's response, Anel Aka often publicly said that he wanted to leave the team, and many giant clubs such as Inter Milan, Barcelona and Real Madrid have introduced the French player, and in the end, Anelka transferred to Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 22.3 million pounds in 2000.
At Real Madrid, Anelka has not been able to perform well, and he has also created rights and wrongs on and off the field, as former Spanish national team coach Javier Clemente commented, "The money used to buy Anelka is more valuable when used for charity." ”
After a sluggish season, Anelka was sold back to the French Ligue 1 by Real Madrid for £20 million.
On his return to Paris Saint-Germain, Anelka went on loan to Liverpool, Manchester City, Fenerbahce and returned to the Premier League on loan until the end of the season before joining Liverpool on loan for £13 million.
At this time, Anelka also realized that it was difficult for Claude to always make the right decisions alone, and his poor performance also had a lot to do with off-field matters, so he hired a new agent - Eric Manasse.
Eric Manasser helped Anelka a lot and told him the benefits of staying in a team for a long time, and it was because of this that Anelka stayed at Manchester City for so long, but the conflict with Keegan once again made him want to leave, but after Keegan left and Wan Sheng took the rein, Eric Manasseur persuaded Anelka to stay at Manchester City again.
So far, it has proven to be the right choice.
In the past eight rounds of the league, he has scored five goals in seven starts, which makes him firmly in the main position, especially now that Manchester City is ranked second in the league, and he can also compete with Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy for the first place in the scorer list.
Everything seemed to be going well, but Claude Anelka reappeared, and he persuaded his brother that he should fight for a higher salary.
'I know you're good here, but now your salary doesn't match your performance at all, and you're scoring the same goals as Thierry Henry! You deserve Henry's salary! But in reality, your salary is a third less than his! ”
Claude's words moved Anelka's heart.
Claude cares a lot about money, and Anelka cares a lot about it, the two are brothers who grew up together, and they both hope to make more money, and after entering the professional football circle, the income becomes quite high, and the two pay more attention to income.
Just like now, Claude talks about salary, and Anelka also thinks his brother is right.
His goals are on par with Thierry Henry's, and since Manchester City's results are better than Arsenal's, why should he take a third less salary!? The more Anelka thought about it, the more he felt that he should get a higher salary, even if it was not as good as Henry, and he should have increased his weekly salary by 1 or 20,000 pounds.
Anelka is not dizzy, he knows that it is a bit impractical to negotiate a new contract with the club now, after all, the season has just begun, and his contract has only two years to end, and it is time to renew it.
In the window of his contract, he has to have a very good performance to sign a new contract, and Anelka knows that he is not good enough, he has to perform better to make the club realise his value and then he will be able to negotiate a new contract.
Thinking of this, Anelka is looking forward to the next two rounds of the league.
In the next round, the team hosts West Ham United and the next round, the team travels to Arsenal, and as long as he can perform well in both games, he will surely make the club realize his value! (To be continued......)
