Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Lyon's current coach is Alain Perrin, 51, who used to be a professional footballer, but until the age of 20, his football skills were still not improving, and he had to leave Nancy to join a local amateur team.

After that, Perrin did not return to Nancy until 1983 and became a member of Nancy's B team.

Although he failed to be a professional footballer, Perrin still insisted on his football dream, and before retiring, the 35-year-old Arsene Wenger became the head coach of Nancy, and Perrin began to learn to coach with Wenger, and soon showed the potential of an excellent young coach.

Nancy FC of course also noticed the change in the youngster and quickly arranged for Perrin to take charge of the club's football school as a player-coach.

After officially retiring from the game, Alain Perrin became the echelon coach of Nancy and began his coaching career.

He started in the lowest league, first taking over the hometown team Troyes in the third division, leading Troyes to skip two levels and be promoted to Ligue 1 in a few years, and then he led Troyes to relegation as 14th in the league, gradually making a name for himself in French football.

Over the next two seasons, Troyes gradually established themselves in Ligue 1, qualifying for the Eurototo Cup for two consecutive seasons and performing well on the European stage, beating Newcastle United to advance to the second round of the UEFA Cup.

In 2002, Perrin's managerial career began to flourish, and he took over the Ligue 1 side of Marseille, where he returned to the club in a year with a third-place finish in Ligue 1 and Champions League qualification, during which time Perrin poached the 25-year-old Drogba from Guingamp for a transfer fee of only £3.3 million (a year later). Chelsea paid a whopping £24 million for Drogba, the highest for Marseille).

The two years 2004 and 2005 were two years of low points in Perran's life.

After leaving Marseille in disgrace, Perrin took over the UAE team Al Ain, but the partnership lasted only three months (four games in total), and the following year, the Premier League team Portsmouth came to the door and appointed Perrin as a firefighting coach.

Although Perrin has completed the relegation of Portsmouth, the results of 2 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats since the start of the 2005-2006 season are really unattainable.

Perrin became the first Premier League manager to be sacked that season.

Perrin took charge of Ligue 1 side Sochaux last summer and his familiarity with small and medium-sized clubs helped him finish seventh last season. There is also the 2007 French Cup, which Perrin himself is very interested in, because it was the Marseille team that swept him away in the final that year.

Just after successfully avenging the Marseille team, this summer, Perrin received an invitation from the French giants Lyon to officially take charge of Lyon.

Although in the eyes of many Lyon fans, Perrin can only be regarded as Lyon's 'interim coach', he still hopes to lead Lyon to good results.

What is a good grade?

Naturally, it's the league champion!

At the same time, in the Champions League, Perrin also wants to fight for it, and the Champions League group draw is drawn. Lyon were drawn to Group E, which is a very good group, and the two teams other than Manchester City do not pose much of a threat to Lyon. So Perrin is already aiming for the top spot in the group.

This away game against Manchester City is the beginning.

Alan Perrin played against Wan Sheng, he was in charge of Portsmouth at the time, and he was not a big difference in quality with Manchester City, but he still led Portsmouth. and Manchester City have a record of one win and one loss.

This gave Perrin a lot of confidence.

Now leading Lyon, one of the strongest teams in Europe, will not lose to Manchester City again.

Perrin thinks so.

In Perran's vision. Lyon will finish top of the group, while Manchester City will have to finish second, provided they are lucky not to lose easily to Stuttgart or Rangers, of course.

When Perrin learned that Manchester City had drawn with Blackburn Rovers and then drew at home to Aston Villa, making it a two-game winless league game, he was even more convinced.

In addition, what supports Perran's confidence is the strong strength of Lyon, Juninho, Tularan, Govu, Benzema, all stars are in the Lyon team, Lyon has a gorgeous midfield, and the efficiency of the forward line that can be ranked in Europe.

The previous coach Santini left the club because he was promoted to become the coach of the French team, and he left Perrin with a strong and complete squad of Lyon, after Perrin took over the team, he also did a lot of things, the first point is to stabilize the team's tactical system, so that the new players can adapt to the team's inherent system.

Later, during the preparations, he focused on defence.

Perrin is not against utilitarian football, he believes that the most important thing for a team is results, and what he emphasized to the team after taking office is, "We stick to the style and make targeted changes for the opponent every game." ”

This is what he learned from Wan Sheng.

Wan Sheng often makes some adjustments to the tactics in the game, according to the opponent's situation, when defense is the best choice, he will choose defense, and when he wants to attack aggressively, he will also let go and let the team fight.

Now facing Manchester City in the Champions League, Perrin has a feeling of knowing his opponent and then he feels that as the team with the best chance of topping the group, he should not be stifled by Manchester City.

So Perrin took the initiative to provoke a war of words.

When asked by a British journalist about Lyon's preparations for the Champions League, Perrin said: "I'm looking forward to the first game against Manchester City and so are my players. ”

'I know Man City well but Man City don't know us, that's our strength! My players and I are confident to win the game! ”

When Perrin said this, he had a faint smile on his face, and he looked confident.

The French media have also been infected by Perrin, and they have focused on Perrin's self-confidence in their press releases, and have given French fans a wonderful prospect of Lyon in the Champions League.

France Football commented: "Perrin's confidence is a positive sign. This at least shows that Lyon is very prepared to play Manchester City! ”

"This season, Lyon is really strong, with a complete squad, mature tactics and a strong performance in the league."

After analyzing Lyon's strength, "French Football" also made a little worried, that is, worried about Perrin's coaching ability, after all, Perrin is only Lyon's 'interim coach', if he can find other bigger names, it will definitely not be his turn to coach Lyon.

“…… The only thing to worry about is that Perrin doesn't have much experience in leading the team to the Champions League. We hope he can do well and lead Lyon to a breakthrough, but now we need to be sensible. ”

――――

Wan Sheng was in no mood to deal with the 'war of words' initiated by Perran, because there was no point in fighting a war of words with Leon, in fact, Leon didn't put it in his heart at all.

The strength of this French team is good, but compared with the current Manchester City, there is still some gap, not to mention, the game is played at Manchester Stadium, he can't understand why the other side has so much confidence?

When a reporter talked about it, Wan Sheng replied ridiculously, "That guy can't be sick, right?" ”

And then there was no further talk.

This sentence hit Perrin and Lyon and the French fans very hard, and when they shouted the slogan, the other party did not care at all, and the look of complete contempt was revealed.

They were all very angry and were ready to go to Manchester to teach Manchester City a lesson.

Wansheng didn't pay attention to this, but just led the team to prepare for the battle.

At the same time, public opinion in China has also undergone some changes because of what Wan Sheng said in the interview.

At that time, the interviewer with Wan Sheng was a reporter from "Salary Wave Sports", and what Wan Sheng said that night spread to China and appeared on the front page of the "Salary Wave Sports" page.

"Xinlang Sports" is still very influential in the domestic sports media, and when they release news, many fans will see it.

After reading the original words of Wansheng when he was interviewed, many people immediately expressed their support for Wansheng.

The most important thing is what Wansheng said, which is indeed very reasonable.

East Asian teams are not only China, South Korea, Japan have a higher world ranking and better records, but their national teams will not consider calling up European players at all when playing ordinary games, after all, the international break is only a few days, Europe is too far away from East Asia, it takes more than 8 hours to take a plane, and then the jet lag back and forth, the state cannot be guaranteed at all.

In the warm-up match between China and Oman just past, Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei did not appear in the starting list, and the two together did not get a minute of playing time, which means that their trip back to China was completely in vain.

Thinking of this, you can know why Wan Sheng, as the head coach of Manchester City Club, is annoyed with the Chinese national team.

When the fans understood this, the domestic public opinion situation suddenly tilted a lot towards Wansheng.

However, some people don't want to make Wansheng better!

Wan Sheng's words are directed at the Chinese national team, and most people in China know that the coach of the Chinese team, Forado Petrovic, is a puppet and has no right to recruit players at all, in other words, what Wan Sheng said refers to the Chinese Football Association, which has the right to recruit players.

As the number one leader in the management of the Chinese Football Association, Xie Zhulong became very angry when he learned what Wan Sheng said.

Xie felt that his rights and status had been seriously challenged.

No player or coach in China would dare to wrestle with the Football Association, even if the opponent is a famous European coach, he is also a Chinese coach.

In Xie Qianlong's view, as long as it is a Chinese coach, he should be under the 'jurisdiction' of the Chinese Football Association.

The Chinese Football Association has no right to order Wan Sheng to do anything, but he can use the relationship to put the other party in the lower hand of public opinion, and let all the players and coaches see what happened against the Football Association, or himself!
