Chapter 203: Slow Down, Don't Send It!
Joey Barton didn't dare to confirm his departure to the media, and he was very unhappy with the lack of playing time, but he didn't really want to leave.
In fact, he was not willing to leave at all.
Joey Barton came through Manchester City's youth team, Keegan promoted him to the first team, he has been doing well in the team, he has adapted to life in Manchester, Wan Sheng has taken over the team, the team's results have also been very good, he believes that he can stay at Manchester City and win the title with the team, such a team has no reason to leave.
In addition, in terms of personal treatment, he also signed a new contract with the club in the summer, and in the whole team, only a limited number of players such as Anelka, Morris, and Dunn have a higher salary than him, and his salary has also reached the first-class level of European players.
Joey Barton is well aware that with his current fame and performance, it is difficult to get the same salary as Manchester City if he goes to other clubs, and one of the important reasons why he gets a high salary at Manchester City is that he was born in Manchester City's youth team, and any club likes to take special care of 'its own players', so in terms of personal treatment, he has no reason to leave.
That said, Joey Barton is very happy with everything else except his playing time.
The reason why he released the news that he wanted to leave was just to put pressure on the club and the manager, and he hoped that after doing so, the fans and the media would sympathize with him, and the team would give him more time under pressure
Wan Sheng saw the news in the media, but he didn't say anything.
In front of the club, when a reporter came forward to interview, Wan Sheng just said, "I don't know, he didn't tell me." ”
Besides, there is none.
Wan Sheng didn't want to talk about the player's departure in front of the media, actually. He also has some understanding of Joey Barton's situation and his mind, and this kid definitely wants to put pressure on himself and give him a little more playing time, but professional competition is like that, if you don't have the ability to play better than everyone else, you can only play with peace of mind, otherwise you will prove that you are better than everyone else.
City's training was unaffected.
The team should train and prepare, and Wan Sheng did not treat Joey Barton differently.
On October 21, the Premier League travels to Wigan Athletic.
Wigan Athletic last season. At the beginning of the season, they were almost regarded as the 'second Derby County', and they occupied the top three positions in the table at one point with almost no well-known stars joining, and although they gradually fell behind in the second half of the season, they eventually achieved an astonishing result of 10th in the league, Wigan, who is famous for playing rugby, suddenly became the "miracle land" of football, and coach Jewell was promoted to the top coach in the Premier League.
Thinking back to the unsatisfactory years in Bradford and Sheffield Wednesday, Jewell can only sigh with emotion.
In the summer, Wigan Athletic was linked to the name of a Chinese player. That is Sun Xiang, who came to Europe for trial, but Wigan Athletic refused to pay Sun Xiang's 800,000 transfer price, and the deal was not completed, and Wigan Athletic was also considered to be a conservative faction in the Premier League transfer market. Actually, it's not entirely true, Wigan owner Whelan just doesn't want to spend money on 'strange players'.
In addition, last season, Wigan's first-team players had as many as 20 players in and out, but only if there was a balance between buying and selling. Whelan is unclear if his team will be able to stay in their debut season, and it makes sense to be relatively conservative in the transfer market.
But if you want to maintain your position in the top league, it is definitely not suitable to run a small workshop. Whelan has finally pulled out his pockets this season, Wigan has also been very targeted to strengthen various positions, and some of the people who have shown their faces in the World Cup have also come to the team.
Liverpool's Corkland, 25-year-old Kirkland, Crystal Palace's Emerson Posse and Fitz Hall, Crystal Palace's best player Posei, 1.93m tall Hall, AZ Alkmaar's Lanzate, Poland's teenage talent Sefka, etc., these players can be seen as an attempt by Jewell to carefully build the future Wigan squad.
But the results of the first eight rounds of the league prove that Jewell has not been able to adjust the team well, so far, they have only won two games, and two have also drawn, that is, in the first eight rounds of the league, Wigan Athletic only got 8 league points.
Suddenly, as the head coach, Jewell was under a lot of pressure.
In fact, Wigan has already had fans voice for Jewell to step down, because fans believe that last season's results are difficult to replicate, and manager Jevier does not have the ability to lead a LinkedIn Premier League team, especially in terms of transfers, his vision is simply terrible, making the club waste a lot of money in vain and not get any good results.
It was in this situation that Wigan Athletic came into play against Manchester City.
The pressure will be on Wigan Athletic as Manchester City are one of the best teams in the Premier League and facing Manchester City is almost no different from facing top league side Manchester United, both of whom will be satisfied with a point at home.
Manchester City, by contrast, are under little pressure.
Against a team at the bottom of the league table, the whole team was relaxed, but perhaps due to the recent clash with Real Madrid, the City's front-court players did not wear shooting boots, and even Morris and Anelka missed two good chances.
The two teams played to a 0-0 draw at halftime.
Halfway through the second half, the score was still not rewritten, Wan Sheng thought about it or replaced Joey Barton, but he didn't expect the situation to get worse - in the 79th minute, after Joey Barton tackled the opponent defensively, he 'made up' a kick on the opponent's leg, and he was directly sent off by the referee.
In the end, the ten-man Manchester City could only play a 0-0 draw away from Wigan Athletic.
After the game, Wan Sheng felt quite annoyed.
In the locker room, Wan Sheng yelled in public and criticized Joey Barton, this 'bad boy' was quite honest in front of Wan Sheng, but he kept his head down and didn't dare to refute.
This look made Wan Sheng very helpless.
He knew that Joey Barton should not be blamed for the draw, and the entire team did not seem to have shooting boots in the front court, and luck seemed to have reached the opponent, as evidenced by the team's two-foot post, but Joey Barton's approach was still very irritating.
Last season, Joey Barton was still honest, but now his 'bad boy' cells seem to be coming alive. First, he publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation and wanted to leave in front of the media, and then he was sent off directly due to a 'violent scene' in the game, and the team may even have to pay some FA fines for this, and the media will also seize on this after the game.
"What a troublemaker!" Wan Sheng smiled bitterly.
In fact, Wan Sheng has given up on Joey Barton a little, Barton's defensive and offensive ability is not bad, but his style is not very suitable for the team's tactics, because of this, after David Silva broke out this season and Ozil joined, his playing time will be compressed, coupled with his aura of being good at 'causing trouble'. Wan Sheng felt that this guy was not suitable for his team.
But all in all, Joey Barton can be considered a very qualified substitute, at least this season, and Wan Sheng has no intention of selling him in the winter.
But the premise is that he can't always get into trouble!
"Just give him another chance." Wan Sheng thought.
If Joey Barton can settle down and train and play normally after this time, then Wan Sheng will consider keeping him until at least next summer, and conversely, it is not impossible to sell Barton in the winter transfer. Since he was dissatisfied with his playing time, he also said that he wanted to leave the team.
Let's go!
"There is no one in Lao Tzu's team who is irreplaceable!"
After the match against Wigan Athletic, the Manchester City team returned to Manchester, after which the team was disbanded. Wan Sheng also went to be interviewed by the reporter of Science magazine as arranged.
The interview took place in the club, and Science magazine asked Wan Sheng to take a few photos of his research and to be more focused.
This is the first time Wan Sheng has given such an interview. Interested in doing so, he took out some of the materials he had done while doing research and gave them to LeBron Jensen, a reporter for Science magazine. But LeBron Jenson's attitude is not very good, he is dissatisfied with Wan Sheng's dress, and requires Wan Sheng to wear a researcher's costume and do some specified movements like a model.
"It's good for publicity and shooting, and in the next issue, you'll be featured in your interviews." LeBron Jensen explained.
Wan Sheng frowned when he heard this, how could he have any so-called 'researcher clothing'?
In addition, this reporter asked too much, he thought he was just here to take a few photos, but it made it seem like he was taking an art photo.
Leading the team to a draw with Wigan Athletic today, Wan Sheng's mood was not very good, and now he is even more asked to ask for this, he said impatiently, "If you want to shoot, shoot." That's how I did my research, I don't have any researcher clothes, and now I'm the real one, do you still have to deceive in the report? ”
LeBron Jensen immediately said angrily, "Wan Sheng, sir, my shooting work is all to promote you, you have been nominated for this year's top ten scientists in the world, the world doesn't know how many people want to get this honor, you just need to take a few shots as required"
"If you don't shoot according to the requirements, your qualification will be cancelled?" Wan Sheng asked rhetorically.
LeBron Jenson pursed his lips a little arrogantly and said, "This award was originally selected by Science magazine, and we are eligible to be selected and disqualified!" ”
Hearing this, Wan Sheng immediately became angry.
He didn't just 'beg' for a nomination from Science, so what? He is a soccer coach, and his research is only for himself to better understand the soccer trainer system, and he does not need to have any influence in the scientific community at all.
As for the awards or something, of course it's the best, if there isn't, it doesn't matter at all!
So Wan Sheng angrily sent the guest directly, "I still have a lot of work to do, let's stop shooting here!" Walk slowly, don't send! ”
LeBron Jensen stood stunned, unable to believe what he was hearing.
This young Chinese actually turned away him, a reporter for Science magazine, like this? What emboldening him was to do that? Didn't he know that if he didn't shoot according to his requirements, he would likely be nominated as one of the "Top Ten Scientists in the World of the Year"?
