Chapter 257: I Want to Play!
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, his brows furrowed.
The current situation is not good for Manchester City, Morris is injured and has a huge impact on the team, he is the heart of the team's midfield, responsible for organising attacks, switching attacks and defences, and the team's spiritual leader, the team's performance has completely dropped a notch.
In addition, there is another important reason that Morris started on the court.
If Morris doesn't play, all the players will be mentally prepared, so that their performance will be better, but Morris played, everyone treats him as a pillar, and he suddenly got injured and went off, which has a much greater impact on the team, and now the lineup on the field is also based on Morris as the core, and David Silva cannot replace him for the time being.
It is this series of reasons that has caused Manchester United to have the upper hand in terms of both the situation and the scoreline.
Wan Sheng also had a bit of a headache.
But the only thing that can be done at the moment is to get the players on the pitch to defend well.
Two goals, there is hope to recover in the second half, but if he is three goals behind, even he has to admit that the team's hope of catching up with the score is slim.
At the end of the first half, Wan Sheng began to shout to remind the team to defend.
It's still very effective.
The leader of Manchester City on the field is Morris, but the real leader is Wan Sheng, and every player believes in Wan Sheng's ability, and because of this trust, when Wan Sheng directs the game, everyone will not hesitate to do it.
As a result, City's defence was a little more solid.
United also wanted to score in the last minute and they played well. However, time was limited, and the first half ended 0:2.
――――
At half-time, two goals down.
This passive situation. It's the first time Manchester City have met, so there was silence in the Manchester City dressing room, and many players couldn't accept it, they didn't expect that the team would be two goals behind the opponent, even if the opponent was Manchester United, two seasons later, in the Manchester derby. How could they have been so passive?
No!
Now they don't know what to do?
Wan Sheng pushed the door and walked in.
He was thinking about how to adjust in the second half to have a better chance of equalising, but he was two goals down. Facing Manchester United, who are in great form, he can't think of a good way for a while.
He is not God.
Even with the help of the Soccer Trainer system, he would not have been able to win every game of his team, nor would he have been able to equalize the score at half-time.
Two goals. It's a bit too much!
Most importantly. At present, several core players of Manchester City - Morris, Anelka, and Downing are not playing, and central defender Dunn is also suspended due to accumulating yellow cards, and the four big players are missing, and the team's performance is much worse in both attack and defense.
What now?
Wan Sheng looked at the players and couldn't think of a way for a while, but he knew what to do now.
"This is the first time!" Wan Sheng held up a finger. "We've had a great season in the league. 14 consecutive wins, 30 rounds undefeated, what an impressive record! Even I didn't think it would be so tough. ”
"In football, there are always losses, we are not undefeated, and no team dares to say that we can win all the time."
"Even Manchester United in '99, they won the 'treble' and they had a brilliant result, but that season, they also lost. Arsenal in 03 and 04, when they were unbeaten in the league, but in Europe, they did not achieve too good results, and they also lost and failed. No team is undefeated, and neither are we. But ......"
"If you want to win the championship and have good results, you must have the courage to accept defeat and give it your all in every race, only by doing this, there will be fewer failures and more victories!"
"Well, we still have time."
"None of you really want to lose!?" Wan Sheng raised his voice and asked.
Everyone lowered their heads and whispered 'no'.
Wan Sheng was not satisfied, he yelled, "Raise your head and look at me!" Look me in the eye! Everyone didn't know why, so they all looked up.
"Look what you guys look like! How can we have the demeanor of a star, and how can we have the demeanor of a strong team! We're Manchester City, we've won 14 in a row in the league and we're unbeaten in the league so far! When the fans talk about it, how proud! But that's how undefeated we are? You can't accept being two goals behind? Is it? ”
"It's only two balls!"
"Remember the last game against Manchester United? We scored two in the first half! We can't even attack them! Now we are behind, but we are only halfway through the time, and we haven't lost yet! ”
"Don't you want to win? Go for a 15-game winning streak! ”
"It's a derby! Manchester Derby! The battle for the top spot in the Premier League! The whole world is watching you, and you want to throw in the towel in 45 minutes? Maybe you'll be like a and go out on the pitch and beg them not to score...... Is that so? ”
"It's not."
"Louder!"
"It's not!" Everyone blushed and shouted collectively.
"That's right!" Wan Sheng's words were sonorous and powerful, "I want you to remember that no matter how difficult the game is, no matter how many goals we are behind, we must hold on until the last minute, and before the last minute, we have not lost!" ”
"This is a team that is in contention for the title! Got it! ”
"Yes!"
Seeing that the players were in a lot of spirit, Wan Sheng also exhaled.
In any case, the team's fighting spirit is the most important thing, if the team does not have fighting spirit, what tactics, what lineup also matters, as long as everyone in the team can go all out and play with high morale, then no matter how passive the situation is, there is still a chance.
Then it's time to think about how to adjust in the second half.
Taking advantage of the players' rest, Wan Sheng sat in the middle, looking at them one by one, thinking about the adjustment strategy that might be in a better direction in the second half.
While thinking, suddenly a figure stood in front of him.
Wan Sheng looked up. It's David Beckham.
Beckham hesitated, but finally said, "Teach...... Instructor. I...... I want to play! ”
Wan Sheng was stunned and smiled.
――――
Except for Beckham himself, no one can know how much struggle he went through when he said this.
Before the game, he had been hesitant not to face Manchester United, facing his former mentor Alex Ferguson, even if he had a bad relationship with Ferguson. In the first half of the year, the other party also publicly rejected his request to return to Manchester United in the media, but Ferguson was like his father in the past, recalling the experience of that time. He can't forget it.
Now, after joining Manchester City, he feels ashamed of Manchester United and Ferguson.
Wan Sheng added him to the squad. He was on the bench.
The other players are talking about the game. And he just sat there, watching his teammates fight hard in the game, watching his former teammates and the current Manchester United attack on the pitch again and again, and then, his current team, Manchester City, was poured two goals.
He suddenly remembered what Wan Sheng had said when he persuaded him to join Manchester City.
"That's the world of football. Real, very real! If you just go and pray. No one will sympathize with you, only you show your abilities, your talents, and make others think that your joining will be beneficial to them, then no matter what you do, they will welcome you. ”
'Do you want to be back at Manchester United one day? It's useless to rely on your previous fame, just your previous feelings at Manchester United. ”
"Come to Manchester City! It doesn't matter what the United fans say, it doesn't matter what the media say, the important thing is that in my team I can guarantee that you have enough playing time and I can guarantee that you can go into the tournament with the team and enjoy the feeling of winning! You can do better in my team, I firmly believe that. ”
Wansheng did everything he said.
When I came to Manchester City, I even felt like I was back a few years ago, back to my peak, in full form, and in the game.
And now?
Now may be what Wansheng said, it is the time to prove yourself!
Playing directly with his former teammates, meeting directly with his former mentor, letting them see their own state, their own strength, and prove their ability, this is the original intention of coming to Manchester City!
Thinking of this, Beckham looked resolute!
In this game, the person who should play the most is him - David Beckham!
――――
When Beckham made a request to play, Wan Sheng really relaxed.
Beckham played and solved a lot of problems, first of all, with Beckham, the team's offensive ability is not a problem, even if Morris is injured, the team's midfield has no 'provoking the beam', but Beckham can also give a lot of support to the front court on the right side, and his free kick is also a big weapon for the team.
This will certainly increase the stakes for the team to score goals.
In addition, Wan Sheng also has a hole card, that is, "training to specialize in talent skills", "designate a player, force him to reach the best state of his career in the next 12 hours." ”
(Cooldown: 3 months)
He would have liked to save this skill for the Champions League final, which is a very important game, but now that he thinks about it, the Manchester derby may be even more important!
With the current situation of the team, it is very difficult to think about AC Milan, and it is not certain whether it can enter the Champions League final, but this derby is very important, not only the competition for the top of the league, in fact, the team lost the game, it is just a league, but more importantly, this is a city derby, maybe outsiders do not understand the meaning, but for Manchester fans, the derby is even more important than the league title.
In addition, the game is more meaningful for Beckham.
Perhaps this is the last time Beckham will be able to play a competitive game against Manchester United in his career. The next second half is his time, so why don't you add more force and use the skill effect on him.
That would give the team a better chance of equalising, and there would even be hope of winning!
Wansheng is looking forward to it.
