Manchester City's home game against West Ham United on October 16 was not a big one, it wasn't a big one, the two teams were second in the league and one was promoted, and the clash between them wouldn't attract much attention, but this game had a special meaning for some players, and that was the team's striker Robbie Fowler.

It was Robbie Fowler's first appearance in the squad since returning from injury, and it was a starting position, with him partnering Nicolas Anelka as a two-man striker.

Wansheng's expectations for Robbie Fowler are still high.

The 'Prince of Anfield', who was once on par with Michael Owen, has a personal rating of 91 points, second only to Anelka in the team, and the only problem is injuries, which have been tormenting him since arriving at Manchester City, despite this, he has scored 21 goals and provided 13 assists in 75 games in a few years.

This shows how good Robbie Fowler is, and if he hadn't had so many injuries, he would never have been much worse than Michael Irving.

After arriving at Manchester City, Wan Sheng immediately noticed Fowler, and he knew that if it were not for him, Robbie Fowler would return to Liverpool in more than two months at Christmas, but when he arrived at Liverpool, he was still suffering from injuries, and naturally he did not have to perform much, and he was not much better than at Manchester City.

In short, Robbie Fowler's biggest problem is injuries.

At this point, Wan Sheng also has a bit of a headache, although he has arranged a lot of recovery training and personal condition training for Robbie Fowler, but wants to heal Fowler's dark injury. It will be a long time before Fowler will not be injured again, but it will be a month after Fowler has recovered from injury and trained with the team. Wan Sheng still sent him to play.

Wan Sheng asked Fowler to be a shadow striker and play a connecting role in the front midfield.

It's a very important position, even more so than Anelka's forward position, because whether there will be good chances in front of goal depends a lot on Robbie Fowler's performance.

Robbie Fowler started the game and was entrusted with the task by Wan Sheng, and he still feels very much looking forward to it.

In the players' tunnel too. He couldn't help but play.

When Robbie Fowler was seen starting, the City fans in the stands welcomed him with a round of applause, although Robbie Fowler did not make many appearances at City. It's hard to compare to the 'popular' Anelka and Morris now, but after all, they are old men in the team and were once top stars, so they hope that Robbie Fowler can do well after he recovers from injury.

this game. Robbie Fowler's performance can be said to be expected by many.

But what happens in the end?

The media analyzed a lot before the game. Wan Sheng also thought about it a lot, and some others made some predictions about the game, but there was one situation that no one expected, this match did not belong to Robbie Fowler, who was expected, but to Anelka, who was standing in front.

Anelka broke out!

Nicolas Anelka scored for City in the thirteenth minute of the game, and his powerful shot from the edge of the box left West Ham goalkeeper Carroll too late to react.

Actually, there is nothing surprising about it.

Anelka's shooting skills are already strong. The sudden shot in front of the penalty area is also his forte. But what surprised Wan Sheng this time was Anelka's 'alone' - in the tactical routine, he would have had a chance to pass the ball to the other side, so that following Morris or Sinclair, he could find a chance to face the goal, but Anelka kicked the ball directly into the goal.

But the goals are all scored, there is no need to doubt, Wan Sheng is also happy for the goal.

Wan Sheng was also very happy when the players on the pitch celebrated the goal, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this game, Robbie Fowler came on and performed well, and Anelka was in full form, so what other chances could West Ham have?

However, the game itself is not that the opponent does not have a chance, so it will not be surprising.

After reading it again, Wan Sheng was surprised and didn't have time to be happy

"Anelka! Anelka! ”

"Nikolai Anelka!"

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！！！！”

Manchester stadium commentator Berbart chanted, "Second goal!" It's still Anelka! It was his seventh goal for Manchester City and the third time since the start of the season! ”

"This is Anelka! All he has to do is score two! ”

'To be honest, I'm not surprised at all, he scored two goals against Manchester United and Bolton! Now, against West Ham, it's two more! If the West Ham people had known that Anelka would have such a heroic performance, they would probably have thrown in the towel sooner rather than later! ”

“”

Amid the excited shouts of the audience, Anelka also ran to the sidelines excitedly, pointing at the camera and yelling at himself, "See! That's me, my goal! Me, Nikola Anelka! ”

However, he was quickly thrown to the ground by the others, and a frenzied group of teammates followed suit, and the whole sideline was in chaos.

In the Manchester City coach's box, Wan Sheng also stood up and applauded.

Pierce smiled and said, "Nikolai is in good shape today!" Two goals in the half, that's good! ”

"Yes! He's a genius! Wan Sheng replied.

He originally wanted to see Robbie Fowler perform, but he didn't expect to see Anelka, Robbie Fowler was mediocre, and now he can't say whether he is happy or disappointed, but fortunately, the team must have won, which is gratifying.

Soon the first half was over.

West Ham United were beaten in the final moment, almost unable to defend the penalty area, and after they returned to the Premier League, they met a team with 10,000 wins for the first time, which can be regarded as a real gap.

Two years ago, Wan Sheng's Derby County had no easy time beating West Ham United, and now his Manchester City easily suppressed West Ham United, and even made them see no hope of winning.

By the second half. West Ham tried hard to get out, but in the 63rd minute, they were distracted by City's sudden quick attack. The instability at the back gave City a chance, but Morris took the opportunity to complete a clever pass and gave Anelka the chance to face the goalkeeper, and in the face of this good opportunity, Anelka scored again to help Manchester City make it 3-0, and he also completed his hat-trick.

Seeing the football fly into the goal again. The audience was shocked.

Many people, including the various commentators, couldn't believe it, and it was quite exciting and excited. Belbart was stunned for a moment, then shouted, "Goooooal!!" ”

“Goal！ Goal！ Goal！ ”

"Anelka! Anelka again! ”

“Gooooooooooooal！！！！！ The ball is in! Anelka! Hat-trick! He scored the third goal! Oh, God! It's incredible! It's the sixty-third minute, and Anelka has scored a goal in almost twenty minutes! ”

A lot of media and fans were also surprised.

There is nothing surprising that Manchester City are leading 3-0. But it was a surprise that Anelka scored three.

It was a hat-trick. It's not easy to see!

In a round of Premier League games, it is very good to have an average hat-trick, in fact, a team has very few hat-tricks throughout the season, and only those top stars, such as Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy, can have a hat-trick in a single season. And now Anelka has completed his hat-trick, which is quite amazing.

Manchester Stadium has been completely drowned out in cheers. Almost all the Manchester City fans were shouting Anelka's name, and the game had now belonged to Anelka completely, with all the camera shots pointing at him.

At this time, Anelka was running wildly along the sidelines, taking off his jersey as he ran, revealing his tendons, which also made the fans cheer even louder.

He was already excited and couldn't help himself!

Hat-trick!

Even if Anelka was very confident in his ability, he didn't expect to complete a hat-trick so quickly, and with this goal, how many goals did he score?

There are eight of them!?

Nine rounds, eight goals, such a goal efficiency, who else can compare with themselves!!

At this time, in a VIP box on the stadium, Claude Anelka looked at his younger brother who was running desperately on the field, grinned happily, and said to the middle-aged man on the side, "Eric, do you see?" This is my brother! I believe he is the best, so he also deserves the best salary! ”

This middle-aged man is none other than Eric Manasseur, Anelka's other agent.

Eric Manasse was not as excited as Crowder, he just watched the game lightly and frowned slightly and said, "I still think it is not wise to ask Manchester City for a salary increase now, you know, Manchester City are their manager now"

"So what? Just because he's the head coach? My brother is so brilliant! See, hat-trick! Three goals! Who is better on the team than my brother? He deserves the highest salary! ”

Eric Manasseur shook his head, "But it's just one game, and the outside world will think that Nikola is just in good shape for this game, and if it can't be negotiated quickly, this matter will definitely be exposed, and then those media will definitely be biased towards him, and no matter how good Nikola performs, it can't be more important than him to the team."

"Not necessarily." Claude retorted, but still said, "But what you said also makes sense, we really shouldn't contradict him now, our purpose is just a raise, a reasonable raise, okay, just let Nikolai continue to perform, I believe he will be able to do it!" ”

He still has a lot of faith in his brother

Wan Sheng didn't know what Anelka's two agents said, and he was also surprised by Anelka's hat-trick!

Anelka is indeed the kind of player who can score goals, but in Wansheng's impression, he has not scored a lot of goals in any season, especially in the Premier League, in fact, his overall performance is not good, but I didn't expect to score three goals in a row now.

With these three balls in hand, Anelka will be able to surpass Thierry Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy for first place in the scorers' charts!

That's something to be happy about.

At the same time, it also gives Wan Sheng a sense of accomplishment, which is the feeling of 'changing history', according to normal football history, Anelka will definitely not have the current performance, and even he will go to the Israeli league instead of the Premier League.

But now because of his own coaching of Manchester City, Anelka has not left, and is now in great shape, and even competes with Henry and Ruud van Nistelrooy in the scorer list, isn't this the impact of his arrival on the development of things?

The storm instigated by his little butterfly wings has also begun to wield!

On the field, Anelka has been caught up by the referee, the referee asked him to wear a jersey, and showed him a yellow card, but Anelka didn't care, he also hugged his teammates excitedly, and under the reminder of many people, he was unwilling to put on the jersey, but the excitement on his face could not be hidden.

"Hat-trick!"

"Anelka's form is fantastic! It only took him twenty minutes to complete it, and it was three goals! He has now surpassed Henry and is number one on the scorer list! ”

"Congratulations!"

At the same time, the Manchester City fans in the audience were shouting, "Nikolai! Nikolai! Nikolai! Nikolai! ”

The whole Manchester stadium was conquered by him!

Anelka enjoyed the moment, scanning the pitch with his arms raised as if he had become the king of the Manchester stadium and was taking the throne.

This scene became a picture of the game in many media reports.

After the game, Anelka was also praised in the media, and his hat-trick at the Manchester Stadium became the focus of everyone's discussion, and Manchester City's six-game winning streak was overshadowed.

"Nikola Anelka! He gave a hat-trick to the Manchester City fans! ”

"Claude: My brother has always been the best!"

"France coach Domenech: I would consider Anelka!"

'West Ham lost completely to Nicolas Anelka, he won the whole team!'

“”

All kinds of praise came to the face, the media, the fans, the football legends, the national team manager, everyone was talking about Anelka, everyone was giving him praise.

Wan Sheng shook his head at the news, they certainly don't remember how Anelka was criticized at the end of last season.

However, Wansheng is also very happy, because this shows that his players are very good, just like seeing Morris, Bolton-Reiter and others succeed, although Anelka was not trained by him, but now he is also a player, Anelka's outstanding performance depends on personal ability, but also depends on the team's tactical system and his own coaching skills, in short, all kinds of reasons make Anelka perform well, Wansheng plays a very important role in it, of course he will have a great sense of achievement.

Anelka is very proud, he has been criticised by the media before, but since the beginning of this season, the media has turned into praise, and now because of a hat-trick, everyone is praising him, including the French media and the French coach Domenech.

This made him quite excited and excited.

With eight goals in nine league games, he has risen to the top of the Premier League's top scorer charts and has become the talk of everyone, which makes Anelka feel good.

So he quickly thought of Henry, of what his brother had said to him.

"I should get a higher salary, at least worthy of my fame!" Anelka thought as he clenched his fists.

He decided to go back and talk to his brother about it. (To be continued......)
