The next day, the team had a holiday.

Because it is in the intensive period of the schedule, this holiday is very hard-won, Wansheng told the players to take advantage of the holiday to rest properly, not to do too exciting, intense activities, which is very important.

In fact, Wansheng gave the players this day off time, not like in the media said 'won the championship, the players should be rewarded for rest and relaxation', but after continuous high-intensity games, the team's overall mental state has been affected, which is difficult to see on the surface, but the football training master system, the mental attributes of each player, including the state and other aspects, have a certain decline, the decline is not large, but each player declines a little, it will definitely affect the performance of the whole team.

The next game against Arsenal is to give them a proper time to relax rather than let the whole team train collectively for a day in tension.

The day afterward, Wan Sheng did not ask the team to prepare anything more for the game against Arsenal, but asked those players who were under mental pressure to talk to Ms Dina McGovern alone.

Since coming to work at Manchester City FC, Ms. Dina McGovern has had a good life, she has received more salary than before, but her work ability is worthy of recognition, Wansheng uses the data of the football training master system, can clearly know the effect of her work, she has successfully relaxed those players who are under mental pressure, and can also let those new players relieve the pressure of playing in the team or on behalf of the team, these two aspects alone are enough to explain the results of her work, Even Wansheng helped Ms Dina McGovern apply for a raise from the club.

'She's a very good worker, she's already an integral part of the club and we have to keep her!' That's why we win.

He approached the matter with a rational work attitude, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

Bee Nix agreed to Wan Sheng's request for a raise for Dina McGovern, but then saw him look a little weird. Wan Sheng felt that it was a bit ill-intentioned, and Ms. Dina McGovern, as the person concerned, saw that his attitude had completely changed again, and her eyes were still dodgy, and once Wan Sheng even saw that her face was a little red.

What's going on?

Wan Sheng didn't turn a corner, but a question from Pierce 'alerted' him, "Wan Sheng." Aren't you dating the youngest daughter of the Murdoch family? ”

"But do you like to be older than you? Dina, although also beautiful, and Murdoch"

"Get out!"

Wan Sheng finally understood.

He had always wondered why everyone's eyes were weird, and Dina McGovern even looked at him with 'strange' in her eyes? So that's it!

When you think about it, it's really easy to misunderstand.

After all, Dina McGovern has not been working at the club for a long time, and what results of her work are clearly known by himself, even Ms. Dina McGovern does not know the specific effect, and then it is a bit strange to help her apply for a salary increase. No wonder everyone else thinks so.

Wan Sheng felt that he had done an oolong incident, and it felt weird to talk to Dina McGovern afterwards, and he had to admit that he needed to hide from this woman a little, and the point was that since this incident, this woman has paid special attention to him and seems to really like him. It's all so direct.

Herein lies the crux of the matter.

If I used to be single, it didn't matter if something happened to such a beautiful and charming lady. But now that he has Anita, he needs to keep his distance from other women.

Then Wansheng can only be a gentleman under the willow and stay away

But in his heart, Wan Sheng is actually a little happy, after all, someone likes him, and men are different from women in this regard, even if they are good-looking. It's also hard to have a few women who really like it, so it's really a bit of a sense of accomplishment for someone to like it.

But this can only be regarded as an adjustment of spare time, and Wansheng still knows what he should do.

The next day, the third round of the Premier League arrived, and Manchester City hosted Arsenal.

Arsenal have been in a bit of a mess lately. The source is still in the summer transfer, and the transfer of Ashley Cole has been non-stop, which has made it impossible for Arsenal to cope with the league at all.

In the last round, Arsenal did not have Ashley Cole in the team, which seems to be as some expected, Wenger will not let his "commodity" be devalued, in fact, Wenger himself said: "The transfer may not have gone away." ”

It is clear that Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has once again made it clear that he will not force a player who does not want to play for the club, and that the defection of A. Cole to Chelsea could happen at any time.

But does that mean a transfer is just around the corner? Not necessarily.

While the initial price divergence is no longer an insurmountable obstacle, Arsene Wenger's current situation has made Arsene Wenger realise that he can't just let Ashley Cole go.

On the one hand, the team has a very tight schedule, and with the league immediately following the Champions League qualifiers, Arsene Wenger has publicly expressed his concerns about the fitness of the squad. On the other hand, it was quite difficult to find a replacement for Cole at once. Although the team already has a lot of potential, he is still too young and is injured to play. The same young Flamini and Hoyt can play at left-back, but their experience and ability are not up to the level of a world-class left-back.

That's why Arsene Wenger has opened up about his interest in Chelsea player William Gallas in front of the media, making it possible for William Gallas and Cole to swap up. But at the same time, the Arsenal boss also claimed that he had not been in contact with Gallas, and that Gallas received a high salary at Chelsea, and Arsenal's "salary cap" policy would not change because of Gallas personally.

This in turn means that trading will be difficult.

In fact, William Gallas is not in a good situation at Chelsea, and the salary is one of the reasons why he fell out with Chelsea, it is said that Gallas has asked the club to give him a salary increase of 90,000 pounds a week, but he was refused, and Arsenal has prepared a contract for Ashley Cole with a salary of only 60,000 pounds a week, and Gallas's request is naturally not satisfied.

However, Arsenal also have a slight advantage, which is that Arsene Wenger can give Gallas an absolute starting position, after falling out with the club. The French defender was sent to the reserve squad and was also told by Chelsea director Barker that "transfers can only go to teams outside Europe".

And now that Arsenal have the capital to let Chelsea go, as long as Gallas is not willing to spend a year in the reserves, he could still put money second.

Arsenal have made an offer of £5 million to Chelsea, with the 'cunning' Chelsea interested in a direct exchange. Of course, Galla is not Arsenal's only option. West Bromwich Albion's C-Davies has been the subject of Arsenal's scouting. And there have been media sources recently. Arsenal are in contact with Serie A side AC Milan to acquire their left-back Caradze.

In the face of such a chaotic situation in the transfer, even Wenger could not keep the team ready for the league, so this away challenge to Manchester City, Arsenal will have some form can be imagined.

Despite Arsenal's good performance throughout the game, they were unable to pose much of a threat to Manchester City at the Manchester Stadium, and Manchester City did not play too prominently throughout the game, but 'stability' became the key to victory, and ultimately relied on goals from Morris and David Silva in the first half. Manchester City beat Arsenal 2-1 at home to make it three wins in a row in the league in August.

At this point, the Premier League ended in August, and the competition between Manchester City and Manchester United in the standings was officially presented in front of the media and fans

At the end of three rounds, Manchester United is at the top of the league with three consecutive wins, scoring 10 goals and conceding two, while Manchester City is also on three consecutive wins, but only scoring seven. Conceded one goal, goal difference is two less than Manchester United. After both teams. The standings are more confusing, with some underdogs who have performed well at the top, such as Chelsea, who lost to Manchester City and are only in sixth place.

At the end of this round, Manchester United and Manchester City were in the spotlight.

For Manchester United, Alex Ferguson after the Watford game. Not satisfied with his team's performance, he saw it was not worth it for the Reds to go to great lengths to win the energetic hornet, or rather he didn't appreciate the way his team had won, and the Reds' winning goal was caused by Ryan Giggs's counter-attack on a mistake.

Speaking to Manchester United's official television station, the elder said: "I think the opponent is the right one for us to play. But we're still looking for better performance. On the counter-attack we need to be better at controlling the ball. Actually, we're good at that, but I also need some players today who can keep the ball at their feet and pass it beautifully, but I don't see anybody who can do that. ”

Watford played a long ball in this game, which caused a lot of problems for Manchester United, and the old man did not think it was a major factor in the team's poor performance, "Playing back-to-back games like this, facing different types of games in three days, the rhythm is more difficult to master, but we can play better anyway. ”

Despite not being happy with the way he won, Ferguson was proud of the fighting spirit his players showed: "The score was perfect and the important thing was that I could feel in the dressing room that they were going to fight for points today, and they were sober. By fighting they were victorious, and when they got up in the morning they thought: we have conquered here, we have shown courage and should be rewarded with victory for this. ”

United were injured in the game, with centre-back Rio Ferdinand injuring a toe in the closing stages of the game, and Ferguson said he would miss England's upcoming European Championship qualifiers: "He hurt his toe and I don't think he will be able to play for England. We're going to take an X-ray tomorrow morning, but it looks like it's broken. ”

That may have been the reason for Ferguson's anger.

Watford boss Boothroyd revealed after the game that Ferguson said to him during the game: "Go away, don't get in my way!" ”

This happened after the game when Ferguson stepped forward to question the fourth official.

However, Boothroyd said there was no animosity between the two sides, just that he was uncontrollable in the game, saying, "We'll have a drink together after the game because we're not happy, but I promise Sir Alex is a little bit happier than me because he's at least home with three points." ”

Despite this, Ferguson's 'temper tantrum' still made many people dissatisfied with him, just like when he talked about the competition with Manchester City after the game, "They? For more than a decade, the only thing they could compete with us was last season, and now, they won't be our opponents! ”

That kind of contempt is really a red fruit!

In the face of this contempt, Wan Sheng just smiled, he knew that Old Man Ferguson did it on purpose. Want to provoke him? Ha ha.

So Wan Sheng also showed no mercy, "Manchester United? Since last season, they have not been in the ranks of our opponents! ”

"He's old! He is guarding those old things, how can he lead Manchester United to success? I suggest he should retire sooner so he can leave with honors. Otherwise, all he will be left with is resentment and regret."

Then Wan Sheng definitely talked about the goal of the season. "Our goal is to win the league, I've said it more than once! Champions? That's what we need to fight for, but the league is fundamental! ”

There were many media reports on Wansheng's remarks.

Although the media speculated that Manchester City's goal would be the league title, it was just speculation, and unlike the facts, many people felt that Manchester City was unlikely to compete for the league title, because they were champions last season, and this season will be two consecutive titles. The difficulty is not your average fight.

It's not the first time that Wan Sheng has said his goal so directly, but after beating Chelsea and Arsenal one after another, and winning the Community Shield, the tone is very powerful!

It's not a joke, it's true!

He's really going to fight for the league title!

Many people's first reaction when they hear this is unlikely, this is not the 90s, the era of Manchester United's 'covering the sky with one hand', in the current era. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, and even Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, etc., are all strong teams. Coupled with the upstart Manchester City, the Premier League can really be said to be a 'seven-hero competition', in such an environment, if you want to win the championship in a row, you can see how difficult it is to think about it.

The more direct reason is that Manchester City is going to participate in the Champions League this season!

There's no way they're going to give up the Champions League. Manchester City FC will never give up, at the club level, the biggest significance of the Champions League is not the competitive level, but the economic level, and participating in the Champions League group stage is all about money. Every extra game is money.

Despite Manchester City's Premier League tribulation last season, they still have a lot of debt, and in that case, will they allow Wansheng to forgo the Champions League?

But if they don't give up the Champions League, they can't focus on the league, so what can they do to defend the title?

Many people have a lot of talk about this, they don't believe that Manchester City can defend the title, because the difficulty is too high, last season, Wan Sheng led Manchester City to the Premier League for the first time, and other teams did not pay attention to them, so they had a chance, but now all teams will study them and carefully analyze the methods of dealing with Manchester City, so it is not easy to get a good result, all the players will try their best to cause big trouble for Manchester City, even if they beat Chelsea and Arsenal, they cannot prove that they have a chance to defend the title, Everyone still thinks that Manchester United have a better chance

In the midst of these voices, Wan Sheng brought the players together.

Everybody is relaxed because tomorrow is going to be the 'international break' and the members of the national team are going to train or play for the national team in two days' time, and the other players will be relaxed in training and they will have two extra days off.

This is good news for everyone.

They thought that Wansheng called everyone to talk about the holiday, but they didn't expect Wansheng to talk about the goal, "I have said it many times in the media, but for you, it is the first time." ”

"I haven't said exactly what my goal is for this season since I started training in July, so I think a lot of you must be confused, but there are also some people who know me." Wan Sheng pointed to himself, "I, no matter which team I coach, no matter where I am, there will be only one goal, and that is to win the championship!" ”

His face was full of confidence.

These words also made the players energetic and enthusiastic.

"When it comes to championships, I'm never joking. Last season we won the league and, of course, the Carabao Cup, which was a good honour, but there were not too many titles. Some of you are new to the team, like Mesut. ”

Wan Sheng called out Ozil's name, everyone looked at Ozil, the German guy was not very suitable for being the center, and lowered his head a little shyly, which caused many people to laugh.

"Some of you don't know me, and some of you know me, but I'm going to say now, I lead the team, no matter when, there is only one goal - the championship!"

'Last season was league champion and we achieved our goal. It's the new season, we're on a three-game winning streak and we're still the defending champions? Who would dare to say that we are not qualified to win the championship! So the league title is something we have to fight for! There's a lot of talk from the outside that we can't do the league and the Champions League at the same time, and yes, some of their analysis makes sense. But titles are always won and in 2005 Liverpool were able to beat AC Milan to win the title, it was a miracle and for us it doesn't take that miracle to win the title, so they can do it, we can definitely do it, we just need to work hard."

"So. I'm asking you now, do you want to get more championships! Answer me! ”

The yelling lifted the spirits of each player, and they immediately shouted, "Yes!" "It's rare to have a neat voice, which makes people feel the fighting spirit of the whole team even more.

Wan Sheng smiled with satisfaction.

"I believe in you. So now I'm going to say that the Champions League is also something we want to fight for. I want to take the team farther, preferably to the stage where we can win the trophy and I think many of you can't wait to play in the Champions League. Me too. But I want to remind you that the league is fundamental. I don't want to see somebody play in the Champions League and play in the league and be mediocre, so whoever you are, I'm going to put you on the bench or even out of the squad, you know? I've always done what I said! ”

"A lot of people in the outside world are saying. It's hard for us to defend the title, but miracles are made by people, and besides, we have the strength to fight for it. ”

"What I'm telling you is, whoever it is. The league has to be played well, that's the fundamental! As long as you do well in the league, I promise you a chance to play in the Champions League, understand? This season, the pressure is higher than last season, so give your best, just work hard and each of you has a chance! ”

Wansheng wants to remind everyone to pay attention to the league.

Because the team won the league championship last season, many people will not have much fighting spirit when they start the league, and similar problems have arisen in the first three rounds, and he can see it with the mental attribute state of the football training master system, so he must make a special reminder.

Wan Sheng also said from the heart, his focus this season is the league.

The Champions League is very important, but the Champions League is not sure that it can be won, even if he has a football training master system, but the Champions League knockout round is two games to decide the outcome of the outcome, and there is only one game to decide the outcome in the final, facing AC Milan, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and other European giants, no one can guarantee to win.

He has confidence and he can only try his best to fight for it, so the league is fundamental.

In addition, for this season, the football training master system also has a new type of mission - challenge mission, which is a rare new type of task, and Wan Sheng is also full of expectations for rewards -

"Challenge: Defending the league title.

Manchester City won the Premier League title last season and will be a tough challenge to defend their title this season as the defending champions. As the head coach of the team, you should lead the team to try to successfully defend the title.

Mission: Lead Manchester City to the league title.

Reward: 3000 XP.

Special Rewards: Enhance the 'Specialized Skill Tree' high-level skills to MAX Perfection Skills, and three skill upgrade points. ”

This challenge task, the task requirement is to lead the team to win the league championship, and the task reward is the most important thing for Wansheng, "Strengthen the 'Specialized Skill Tree' high-level skills to MAX Perfect Skills", which means that you can strengthen the existing 'Ability Sharing' or 'Potential Development' skills.

'Strengthening' is naturally to improve the effect of skills, and whether it is 'ability sharing' or 'potential development', the effect is very good, and the effect of further improvement is really attractive.

In addition, the Champions League is difficult to win for sure, so Wansheng has made up his mind that this season will still be based on the league.

When it comes to choosing between the league and the Champions League, the league is more important than the Champions League.

But this does not mean that the team has to give up the Champions League, after all, the Champions League is a knockout round, and the league is a season to be played 38 rounds, the two are actually not in conflict, the so-called 'attention' is only to fight for the league championship in the first place, the Champions League is also to strive for.

The tasks of the new season of the Football Training Master System also include the tasks of the Champions League, which is in the individual honor tasks.

The personal honor task released the honorary reward for winning the Champions League, and the reward content is roughly the championship points, which must have new honor skill bonuses, if you can win the Champions League, Wansheng's coaching skills will definitely be improved.

Wansheng is still looking forward to this.

In short, in the new season, Manchester City's goal is that the league must be fought for, and the Champions League must be fought for as much as possible! (To be continued.) )
