With only seven league games remaining, City's seven-point advantage is quite clear. As long as they can get five wins in their games, then Chelsea won't stand a chance, and by this time, it's fair to say that the league title race has entered a new phase.

In the previous rivalry between Manchester City and Chelsea, it was more dependent on mistakes by their opponents to win, but now Manchester City have their chances in their own hands, and they can win the league title as long as they don't have problems with their own performances.

Wan Sheng also encouraged the team in this way, "Now we have a 7-point advantage, the initiative is in our hands, and then we must continue to deal with every game seriously and strive to win the league championship early!" ”

That's the goal of Wansheng - to win the league championship one or two rounds early!

This is not a very difficult task for Manchester City at the moment, as they already have a seven-point advantage and can achieve an early title as long as they can maintain their results in the final rounds.

A lot of players are also starting to talk about the team's title, and they are like outside fans and the media, talking excitedly about the team's results, talking about this season's Premier League, and then looking forward to winning the title.

Wan Sheng didn't stop the players from discussing the championship, this is the pursuit of the whole team, and at this time he can't stop it, after all, he can't stop everyone from thinking about anything, working hard for a season, and now it's in the final stage, the only thing he can do is to stay calm, let the team train normally, and prepare for every game.

Until now, Wan Sheng has no heart to look forward to the championship, and it is more important to deal with the opponent in front of him first.

On 4 April, Manchester City travel to Chelsea.

The league has reached the 32nd round, this is another direct dialogue between the two teams, Wan Sheng and Mourinho are old rivals, the two managers were opponents last season, Wan Sheng came to Manchester City. The competition has not gone away, but has intensified.

It's a very important game for Chelsea because if they can win they still have a chance to compete for the league title, otherwise the hopes will be very slim.

The direct confrontation between the two teams is definitely as hot as Mars hitting the earth.

The whole world is watching this game.

It's like the Times said. "It's a game that could well decide the league title", Chelsea win the game and they still have a chance, while Manchester City win the game and are almost close to the league title.

So before the game, both teams were full of gunpowder.

One by one, Chelsea players stepped up and expressed their determination to win; The same goes for the Manchester City players, who speak directly about the title and express their fighting spirit.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho spoke about the game. He also expressed confidence, and at the same time talked about several players in the team who are in very good shape, such as Del Orno, Joe Cole, etc., and at the same time criticized the tactics used by Manchester City and Manchester United when they played against Manchester United, "We are old rivals with Barcelona, but they are more difficult than Barcelona, and that level is no longer a normal tactic, but stalling for time!" ”

"If they play like that in the game. I'll tell my players to just keep the door and they don't attack. We don't attack either. ”

The Portuguese say so.

Wan Sheng did not respond to Mourinho's claims.

Mourinho is just playing a psychological battle, the purpose of saying this is still to be afraid of Manchester City's style of play, if he responds, it will really be a trick, and Chelsea will lose at that time. Jose Mourinho can say, "I said a long time ago, they will use this tactic of delaying time", which is tantamount to giving Chelsea an excuse to lose, so Wan Sheng simply said nothing.

You say we're procrastinating? Just say go. Anyway, in the end we won, and it doesn't make sense for you to say anything!

Wan Sheng's 'non-response' made Manchester City look very low-key before the game, but that doesn't mean he doesn't want to win the game, he has prepared for the game, as Mourinho said, he just intends to play the same style with Manchester United and go to the time with Chelsea.

As for what Mourinho said, he didn't care!

This game must be won for Chelsea so that they have a chance to win the title, and Manchester City have a seven-point advantage, as long as they don't make mistakes, a draw is perfectly acceptable, so in fact, the game has not started yet, Manchester City already have the initiative - Chelsea can't accept a draw, but Manchester City can't accept it.

What's more, Manchester City is playing away from home, is it necessary to fight Chelsea?

In terms of personnel, Wansheng is also fully prepared.

Anelka has recovered from injury, the Frenchman was able to start, bringing a deterrent to the Chelsea defence, Ivan Crewe, who had a round of rest, entered the starting lineup, he and Morris partnered in the middle, quite tacit in cooperation, and he also arranged a strong combination in the backfield, Dunn and Distin, the two partners to describe, it is one word - stable.

Manchester City have responded to Chelsea with the most stable and abrasive line-up.

Chelsea have a gorgeous squad and tactical home advantage, and for them it's a back-to-back battle, they have to win, and all the advantages seem to be on Chelsea's side.

However, Wan Sheng is still very confident that the team can take at least one point away from Stamford Bridge and then the league title will be secure.

A draw is a win, which may seem a bit bad, but sometimes you have to face reality.

It's too extravagant to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, and if you accidentally lose, you give it to Chelsea, so it's still the most important thing to be safe.

……

Wan Sheng wanted to make the team play steadily, so he told the players to strengthen his control, but the game had just begun, and the wave of Chelsea's attacks lifted his heart.

Mourinho seems to have guessed how Manchester City is going to play, at the beginning of the game he asked the team to strengthen the attack, and carry out direct pressing in the front, so that the stalemate between the two teams is biased towards the Manchester City half, this kind of hard-hitting style of play is still very effective, at least Manchester City players do not dare to pass more in their own half, of course, at the same time, the Chelsea defense will also be a little dangerous, but Chelsea has almost no other options, they can only take the initiative to attack if they want to win.

Seeing the opening situation, Wan Sheng also gave Mourinho a thumbs up in his heart, the Portuguese is very sharp in his mouth, and the tactical arrangement is also in place, which is indeed the best way for Chelsea at present.

Then Wan Sheng began to worry about the situation of the team.

City did a lot of preparation before the game, and he told his players to defend more. Let them strengthen their control over the football, but when it comes to what the game will play, it is entirely up to the players themselves.

City didn't do so well in the opening period, with a couple of mistakes that almost cost Chelsea a goal, and Wan Sheng watched from the sidelines with horror and wanted to go up and kick a few kicks himself.

As a matter of fact. Now Wansheng's technology is really in the past.

In the soccer training master system, there is a training specialty coaching skill called "ability sharing", which is used to allow players to share the training effect, and the skill introduction is like this, "When a player submits to complete a personal task. When your stats are boosted, you will share 10% of the effects of your abilities. ”

It's been nearly a year since he got this skill, and Wan Sheng has also shared a lot of attribute abilities, and what he values most is the attribute of physical fitness, actually. This aspect is also the most improved, because almost all the players in the team have to do some physical training.

For example, the physical confrontation ability, a player in the whole team, has increased by 3-6 points in a year, which does not sound like much, but it is actually very terrifying, after all, the growth of a single attribute. The higher the value, the more difficult it becomes, and now the players under Wansheng's hand. They're basically top stars, and if it weren't for the fact that there were a lot of young players, they wouldn't have such a high growth value.

In this way, including the youth team, more than 30 players have brought Wansheng about 15 points of physical confrontation ability growth.

His original physical confrontation ability evaluation was only 70 points, but now he has 85 points. This evaluation has surpassed many players in the team, and it can be said that Wan Sheng is now a strong man.

You can see it on the surface.

After the physical fitness improved, the fat on Wansheng's stomach disappeared, and the abdominal muscles were exposed. If you take off your shirt, you can see that he is strong, but Wan Sheng usually feels very kind, and no one would have thought that he was in such good health.

In addition to physical fitness, in terms of football skills, Wansheng also has a certain improvement, but the evaluation of a few points is not so obvious, but think about the improvement of each attribute evaluation by a few points, plus a lot of football theories in his head, now he has the level of a half-hung professional player, but as a coach, he will not practice at all, and he has no ability and no experience, and he will definitely not be able to compare with real professional players.

Of course, Wansheng is already satisfied with this.

As a football coach, he doesn't need to be a professional player to train any skills, just being in good health is enough.

Now Wan Sheng is standing on the sidelines but very anxious, he frowns and watches the game, whether he clenched his fists, it can be seen that he is still a little nervous, and more importantly, this game is too important, and not losing means that the team has almost touched the league championship trophy.

Fortunately, the team's performance has gradually stabilized.

In fact, Manchester City's whole team is in good shape, at first they were just beaten by Chelsea, and after stabilising, they began to control the football.

After all, football is in the Manchester City half, the number of Manchester City players is dominant, the mentality is stable, it is not easy for Chelsea to grab it again, they also have to pay attention to defense, after all, Anelka in the front field is not a decoration, Anelka has been injured for two months, but the number of goals is still more than Frank Lampard, who has scored the most goals in Chelsea, and there is no doubt about his personal ability.

When the game gradually stabilized, Manchester City began to keep controlling the ball, they were not in a hurry to attack, they kept passing, passing, passing, and then it became Chelsea in a hurry.

The last time Chelsea played Manchester City, they didn't feel that much, they just felt that Manchester City were very fluid and a little bit luckier, so City won the game.

Now they feel what the manager said before the game, "Put pressure on them, or they'll drag on for an infinite amount of time!" ”

And so it was!

If they don't come forward to grab it, Manchester City will keep falling at the back and not attacking at all, just like just now, Distin and Dunn passed each other seven times...... That's 7 times!

After a few seconds of delay at a time, nearly a minute passed, and the time slowly wore up.

The Chelsea players were very helpless, they had to press, but Manchester City was very skillful, they were not passing and receiving the ball on the spot, and the constant running allowed them to always find a vacancy, especially at the back they still had the advantage of numbers, and it was very difficult for Chelsea players to grab the ball.

Mourinho couldn't stand on the sidelines, he walked up to the fourth official and kept spitting attacks, "They're stalling for time!" It should be a card! ”

However, there is no rule in football that you can't pass too long at the back, and the referee can't do anything about it.

Manchester City's somewhat pestering style of play caused the Stamford Bridge fans to boo, and they used boos to express their dissatisfaction.

But Wansheng was indifferent at all.

If it's at the Manchester Stadium, there won't be a problem at all, because the Manchester City fans will always be the voice in charge, and this is Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea fans make up the majority, so City's style of play will be resisted.

But what is the boo of the fans?

Wan Sheng stood there without moving, the boos in his ears could not affect him at all, and the Manchester City players on the field, he was not too worried, he had expected this scene for a long time, and told them many times before the game.

What do away fans do, do they need to care?

The champion is more important!

What's more, the team's style of play can't be said to be ugly, in fact, it is still very ornamental, look at this line of smooth cooperation, so that the Chelsea players are very weak...... Manchester City still launched several waves of attacks during the period, especially when Chelsea has 4 or 5 players in front of them, it will be a little dangerous to pass in the backfield, in case the ball is snatched away, it becomes an opportunity for Chelsea, so whenever this time, Manchester City will launch a wave of attacks, their offensive is sometimes very fast, sometimes in the midfield to continue to pass, this control of the rhythm, but also Manchester City a season to improve, if a few months ago, they certainly could not play so calmly, but now they play very fluid.

Fast when it should be fast, slow when it should be slow, this is what Wansheng ultimately wants to achieve.

Now it is still a little far from really reaching this goal, because the current rhythm is still driven by the players, the hub of the whole team is Morris, Morris has also been in the middle and back, it is difficult for Chelsea to limit his play, so he can calmly lead the rhythm.

There is also a downside, and that is that Morris has given up on individual play.

Morris is still very important to the attacking front, and without this core attacking point, Manchester City's attacking ability has dropped a lot, and it is clear that he has not posed much of a threat to the Chelsea goal so far.

There are good and bad aspects.

It's too difficult to make the team work together and want Morris to play his offensive ability, after all, the opponent can choose to limit Morris's points.

This is still Morris's personal ability limit, after all, he is not a superstar of Ronaldinho, Messi, C-Ronaldo.

He's just Morris.

Morris was once just a second-rate team, but after more than three years of improvement, it is already quite good to reach the level of a top star, and his potential limits the possibility of becoming a superstar.

Wan Sheng is still a pity for this, among the players under him, Morris works the hardest and has the most calm mentality.

If there had been a good environment when he was younger, Morris would have become a superstar, but it is difficult to move up now.

However, Wansheng still has a way, and that is the football training master system.

In the Soccer Training Master system, there is a skill called 'Potential Mining' in the skill tree of 'Training Mastery' that can improve the player's attribute potential, and at the end of this season, after receiving the mission experience reward and completing the upgrade, he can exchange 5 skill points for this skill.

When there is no upgrade, the skill is only a general introduction, and the specific effect is not clear, but Wansheng believes that it will at least help Maurice. (To be continued.) )
