Manchester City's victory ended with captain Morris lifting the trophy.

That night, Manchester City FC celebrated.

The Manchester City players walked around the main street for more than two hours in a bus, followed by many fans, and the players on the bus showed the trophy to the fans amid the cheers of the fans.

After that, the club held a star signing event, and lucky fans could get autographs and group photos of their favorite stars on the spot.

Interestingly, many fans who got the opportunity chose Wan Sheng as the head coach, and among the players, Morris, Torres and Darren Bent, the most popular, were selected less than half of Wan Sheng.

This illustrates Wansheng's status in the hearts of Manchester City fans.

Needless to say, Manchester City FC celebrated, they won three consecutive titles, the celebration of the championship is already a breeze on the road, that night, the news of Manchester City's third consecutive league title, also became the focus of discussion in the whole of England, and even in European sports media.

Wan Sheng, as the head coach of the team, is considered to be the biggest contributor to Manchester City's rise, and is naturally the most discussed.

By the end of May, Wan Sheng had just turned 31 years old, and many people couldn't help but sigh that football now belongs to the era of young people.

"British Football News" expressed its opinion, saying, "Wansheng once again led the team to win the championship, which proves that football coaches are going younger." ”

The article not only talks about Wansheng, but also lists some young and famous managers recently, "Wansheng became famous at a young age, maybe it is just a special case, but in fact, there are many head coaches in world football today, who are very young when they become famous." ”

"After the success in Porto, Mourinho, who came to coach Chelsea in the Premier League, became famous from Spain, Benitez who coached Liverpool, McClaren, who used to be an assistant to Ferguson, etc., these football coaches were only about 40 years old when they became famous, including the newly retired Robbie Keane, who is only 37 years old and has been able to coach the Premier League team, and many other top league managers are only around 40 years old, and the age of the current world football manager is at least 5 years less than ten years ago......"

"This proves that football coaches have gone younger."

Wan Sheng is the most outstanding representative of them, and at the age of 31, he has become a world-renowned international coach. Leading Manchester City to a treble of titles is an amazing achievement. ”

"What's even more amazing is that the treble is not the end, maybe Manchester City can go further this season, let's wait and see!"

The article of "British Football News" is very representative, and many other media are making analysis reports on Manchester City's three consecutive championships, analyzing Manchester City's tactics, players, team composition, etc., and they continue to use analysis to explain to fans why Manchester City can play so well.

Of course, there are some things that can't be analyzed.

Wansheng saw these reports, he was very dismissive, these media want to use analysis to understand the reasons for Manchester City's success, but in fact, the biggest reason is his own coaching ability, with the football training master system, what is there to analyze?

As for the players, teams, etc., he dares to say that if he changes a group of players, he can still lead the team to play well!

That's strength and self-confidence!

At the same time, some regional media also looked back and talked about why the club they supported at that time missed out on Wansheng.

Among them, the media and fans in the Midlands Derby County are the most complicated, Wan Sheng was originally the manager of Derby County, but because of a disagreement with the new chairman, he left Derby County to coach Manchester City.

If Wan Sheng doesn't leave Derby County, maybe the team has won four consecutive titles?

Derby County fans have mixed feelings when they think that the team is still struggling with relegation, and Wan Sheng's Manchester City have won three consecutive titles, and then they are even more unhappy with the club's president, Pierce.

At the same time, they also knew that Wan Sheng would never be able to coach Derby County again.

This young China, long since lost the immaturity of his 'debut' in Derby, he has matured, and has achieved a series of honors, with his qualifications can fully coach a giant team, such as Derby County, a small team, it is difficult to attract him.

Derbyshire is too small.

It is so small that it can't attract a famous coach to coach, and it's so small that it is difficult to let Wansheng, who is related to Derby, come back, so Derby County fans can only have mixed feelings and wish Wansheng to go further in the future.

However, those who are familiar with Wansheng can say, "You say Wansheng? Haha, I've even had drinks with him! ”

'I've known him since he wasn't a manager.

"He was living in Dali's tavern at the time, and I knew him very well, and Dali said that she would contact him occasionally."

"Maybe he'll come back when he has time......"

'Derby County was his starting point and I'm sure he won't forget it.'

After Manchester City won the league title, the team's focus naturally shifted to the Champions League.

Manchester City still have two titles to fight for this season, one is the English FA Cup and the other is the Champions League.

The FA Cup final will be played in mid-May, the Champions League is still early, the second round of the quarter-finals has not yet been played, and Manchester City still have a lot of games to play if they want to win the Champions League.

Two days after the title, the media coverage also shifted the focus to the Champions League.

Manchester City have already won the League Cup and the league title among the 'golden' titles that English teams can win, and they will only need to win the Champions League to become the first team to win the treble after Manchester United in '99.

Manchester City is also very hopeful of competing for the FA Cup, and there are even many media who believe that the FA Cup will definitely belong to Manchester City, because their opponent in the final is Portsmouth, and Manchester City has almost no reason to lose the FA Cup, in other words, if Manchester City can win the FA Cup and the Champions League, then they will become the unprecedented 'quadruple winners' in the history of the Premier League, creating glory that only belongs to them.

Manchester City's media and fans are looking forward to it, so they are very concerned about the Champions League, which is the most difficult game for the team.

First of all, Manchester City will face the hurdle of AC Milan.

City had a 2-1 advantage in the first leg at the San Siro, but it wasn't enough to guarantee City beating AC Milan to reach the last four, and a real second leg is needed to determine who will progress.

AC Milan are the defending champions, having reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in three seasons, two of them in the final and won last season's Champions League, a team that is not easy to play against.

If City are a little negligent, it's no surprise that they are in front of their own door.

As the game approached, the media reported more and more in this regard, and the atmosphere of the big battle became more and more intense.

――――

The second leg of the quarterfinals of the Champions League is related to the promotion of Manchester City and AC Milan, no matter what the result, only one team from both teams can advance to the semi-finals, and the cruelty of professional football is vividly reflected in the rules.

For AC Milan, the situation is very bad because they are behind in the score and have a disadvantage on away goals, and they will have to play well at the Manchester Stadium to have any hope of progressing to the final.

On this point, the club's vice-president Galliani has something to say, he believes that AC Milan still have a good chance of qualifying, "We are not certain to be eliminated, even, I can say, we have a good hope of qualifying. The Chinese team did well last time at the San Siro, but I'm sure in the second leg we will be in good shape as well. ”

'I don't think we have much hope of qualifying, even better than Manchester City, because of the trust in the quality and form of the team!'

Galliani said confidently.

Many media outlets were surprised by his statement, but the Italian media were no longer surprised, and Galliani himself was like that, whenever there was a big tournament, even if AC Milan was at a disadvantage, he would express his trust in the players and the team.

Or it is because of this that Galliani has a special personality, he has a lot of prestige in front of his players, and he has always been able to attract players to choose to join AC Milan with his individual ability.

The former 'Lazio dynasty' fell apart, AC Milan is the biggest beneficiary, Galliani played a big role in it, last year's Champions League final, AC Milan due to internal problems, the situation is not very good, but Galliani encouraged everyone, and continued to inspire the team in the media, and then AC Milan played a good game, defeated the rival Liverpool, 'to achieve revenge' at the same time, but also won the Champions League trophy.

Now AC Milan is in trouble, Manchester City is not having an easy time, and Galliani has stepped up again.

Galliani tackles the media externally and motivates the players internally.

The Italian media believe that AC Milan, who enter the Manchester sports game, will definitely be the strongest Milan team with fighting spirit and spirit, and they also believe that AC Milan has a good hope of beating Manchester United to complete the promotion.

The British media do not understand this 'spirit'.

They think that Manchester City's hopes of qualifying are very high, one is Manchester City's advantage scoreline, and the other is that Manchester City has just won the league title, it is when morale is high, how can they fold their wings in front of their own goal?

Even if it's against AC Milan!

The last leg at the San Siro had already proven that Manchester City were no worse than AC Milan, and their elimination of AC Milan could even be said to be a 'natural' thing.

Of course...... Perhaps the more important reason is that Manchester City are England's team, and it is only natural that the British media will support their own team.

But no matter what, the pre-war atmosphere between the two teams has been provoked, AC Milan, from the coach to the players, there are people who continue to stand up to show fighting spirit and confidence, and Manchester City coaches and players have also stepped up to fight back.

Wan Sheng stood up and sneered, "AC Milan wants to beat us at Manchester Stadium to advance to the semi-finals? Then we have to prove that this is a very ridiculous and naïve idea! ”

Wan Sheng's evaluation of AC Milan's fighting spirit and confidence as 'ridiculous and naïve' news immediately appeared on the pages of the British and Italian media, and even other countries.

For Wan Sheng's words, various reviews are mixed.

The media that supported Manchester City saw this as a way for Wan Sheng to express his confidence, and in retrospect, Wan Sheng had said a lot of similar things, and the final results proved to be achieved one by one, "The Sun" said, "Now this young Chinese coach has said something morale-boosting, I think the result of the game, we don't have to worry about it." ”

The Italian media gave a negative assessment of Wansheng's words, which they considered a sign of 'arrogance'.

The evaluation of "Milan Sports Newspaper" is this, "Maybe it is the three consecutive championships, which brought great confidence to that Chinese, and he even dared to defy AC Milan as the defending champion!" We are confident that the game in two days will make it clear that AC Milan is not something to be despised by 'underdogs'. ”

――――

The Italian media used the attitude of 'pride and arrogance' to motivate the AC Milan players, hoping that they could play beyond the game and successfully complete the comeback and beat Manchester City away to reach the last four of the Champions League.

But in fact, Wan Sheng knows very well in his heart that AC Milan is not an easy team to deal with, even if they have a score advantage, they must play 100% and deal with the game seriously.

Manchester City are only one goal ahead of AC Milan, which is not enough to beat AC Milan.

2 to 1, a very dangerous game.

If Manchester City leads AC Milan by two or even three goals, Wan Sheng will only prepare for the game in a low-key manner, not saying much, and the opponent's provocation will not be ignored at all, because the victory or defeat will tell everything.

But Manchester City did not have an absolute advantage, Wan Sheng stepped up, hoping to inspire the whole team with his attitude, but also misled AC Milan into thinking that he was careless, so as to let his guard down.

The reports of the Italian media can be said to have helped Wansheng just right.

The coaches and players of both sides shouted a few voices in the air, and they all began to prepare for their own games.

On the day leading up to the game, neither side said anything more.

Wan Sheng doesn't know what he said in the media, whether it played a role or not, but he is confident that as long as he does his job well, the team's state is stable, and it doesn't really matter what the opponent does.

――――

The day of the competition is fast approaching.

The 54,000-seat Manchester Stadium is already packed, and after City's treble of titles, Manchester fans are all looking for progress in the Champions League, so they are all cheering on the team.

Milan fans also came, with more than 6,000 Milan fans entering the Manchester Stadium.

Compared with the nearly 50,000 Manchester City fans, the number of Milan fans is still too small and too small, and their voices are suppressed by Manchester City fans, and the voices of Milan fans cannot be heard at the scene.

This atmosphere of the game is good for Manchester City.

All the Manchester City players walked into the field with confidence, and amid the shouts of the fans, they walked into the field of play in turn, occupying half of the field, and carefully looked at every opponent opposite.

Wan Sheng walked to the coach's seat and sat down, glanced at the AC Milan coach's box, and it happened that Ancelotti also looked over, and the two nodded to each other, without any other meaning of communication.

The Great War is about to begin. (To be continued.) )
