Against a scrappy Rangers, even Manchester City will have to be careful.

Before the game, Wan Sheng told the players to play seriously, not to see the opponent as a Soviet Super League team, but as a peer opponent to compete, "They have won Stuttgart and Lyon in a row, by no means a weak team, we have to deal with the mentality of opponents at the same level to compete with them......"

Wan Sheng said some words to make the team careful, and the tactics arranged were also based on stability.

Although he attaches great importance to the game, when it comes to the game, Wan Sheng still feels that he looks down on his opponent.

I have to admire Glasgow coach Smith's coaching ability, he did not have any arrogance because of consecutive victories over Stuttgart and Lyon, he knows that the Manchester City he is facing is definitely the strongest team in the group - Manchester City also beat Stuttgart and Lyon in the first two rounds, and each game was very easy.

Whether it is the ability of the players or the overall lineup, there is a big gap between Glasgow Rangers and Manchester City, and their only advantage is to play at home...... Defend the goal!

Looking at the Glasgow Rangers' style of play, Wan Sheng only had a wry smile on his face.

Glasgow Rangers rely on home advantage to choose to defend with all their might, and it has to be said that this is the best way to play with Manchester City, and in the face of this kind of tough defense, even if it is a win, there is no good way.

Manchester City did well throughout the game.

City came close to opening the scoring in just the sixth minute when Ivan Crewe headed in a corner from the right. Boateng's header in front of goal was ferried, and the ball flew just over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, opposition defender Cuellar was suspected of handball. But the referee did not award a penalty.

Then in the 15th minute, Darren Bent passed through the box, and Morris followed up with a shot from a tight angle of 10 meters on the right side, which was blocked by goalkeeper McGregor with his foot.

A minute later, full-back Will fouled Morris and Carlos took a free-kick from 35 yards and fired just wide.

Manchester City continued to attack Rangers for 20 minutes. They were also unable to find the back of the net before Rangers began a period of counter-attack, with Spanish winger Novo causing City problems on the flank. First, a cross from a back-heel break was confiscated by Wang, and then Alan Hutton's pass and Novo's shot from the right-hand edge of the box was blocked by Boateng.

Three minutes later, opposition midfielder Alan Hutton fouled Morreddy in front of the penalty area. Ivan Crewe's free-kick from 28 metres on the left. Or was lifted over the crossbar by opposing goalkeeper McGregor.

The rest of the game was the same.

Manchester City is constantly looking for opportunities in the front court, constantly tearing apart the Glasgow Rangers defense with cooperation, but the Glasgow Rangers' defense has done a lot, the players have played well, and they have been using tactical fouls to stop Manchester City's attack, and time and time again, the Glasgow Rangers' defense is solid. Coupled with some luck involved, it dragged the time to the 80th minute.

And that's not all. In the 80th minute, Rangers also had a good chance to open the scoring, after substitute Dunn cleared a corner, Barry Ferguson picked out a cross from the right side of the box, and the offside and unguarded Kusin had a chance from 10 yards to shoot straight at goal, which could have almost decided the game.

Fortunately, Kusin's shooting accuracy was average, and the ball was slightly slanted and flew off the post.

City then continued to lay siege on the Rangers goal, but until the final minute of the game, City did not find the back of the net.

In the end, Manchester City and Glasgow Rangers drew 0-0.

Rangers will certainly be able to accept this result, and manager Smith said in an interview after the game, "We played a very dangerous game, but the result was good, we didn't concede a goal, which is the greatest luck." ”

Wan Sheng just smiled bitterly.

City had a big advantage and had some chances, but they couldn't find the back of the net in the end, which was a bit of luck, and a couple of players didn't play well in front of goal.

Glasgow Rangers' 'foul' style of play to stop Manchester City's attack was very direct and decisive, and it also had a good effect, their three substitutions, all of which were used at the back, Wan Sheng also praised, "If they can stick to this performance, I believe there is no problem at all to get a place in the group." ”

So far, Manchester City and Glasgow Rangers have all scored three points in the group, and the relationship between wins and losses is the same, and Manchester City only occupies the top spot in the group with a narrow advantage of two goal difference.

As long as Rangers can play well in their next games, they still have a good chance of qualifying.

Maybe the group appears, it's nothing for the strong teams, such as Chelsea, after three games, it is also two wins and one draw, accumulating 7 points, Manchester City has also won two, but Glasgow Rangers is a Scottish team, they can appear in the Champions League group and enter the round of 16, which can be described as 'historic', they are the defending champions of the Soviet Super League, but they need to play the Champions League qualifying round to enter the Champions League round of 32, even if they enter the round of 32, they are still only the fourth tier team.

That's the difference between the minor leagues and the big leagues.

However, for the away draw with Glasgow Rangers, Manchester City is still acceptable, because they still remain the first in the group, especially in this game, Manchester City did not send all the main lineup, for Manchester City, the Champions League group can only qualify, whether it is the first in the group, it doesn't even matter, but the next league game with Chelsea is crucial.

Wan Sheng and the media said, "I don't care if I tie the unbeaten record", but in fact, he attaches great importance to it.

The unbeaten record in the Premier League is definitely an honor worth fighting for, especially when the Football Training Master also released the "Undefeated Achievement Mission", which can be rewarded with a 'King Aura' skill for completing the task, which is a must to be completed.

So since the end of the ten rounds of the league, Wan Sheng has been preparing for the match against Chelsea.

It's still going to be tough for Manchester City.

One of them is playing away from home, playing at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea, which is naturally very bad for Manchester City.

The second point is the current situation at Chelsea.

Although Chelsea's coach in the summer, Mourinho, the biggest league rival in the past three years, left the coach, and Chelsea FC also suffered the embarrassment of 'no coach', and the Israeli coach Grant who was pushed to the stage is very unknown in Europe, but at least the current Chelsea, strength and condition are very good.

In the Champions League, for example, Chelsea top the group with seven points and a win over Schalke 04 in the next round will secure a place in the group.

'You wouldn't have thought we could still be so consistent in the Champions League, especially after the departure of manager Jose Mourinho, a lot of people thought we were going to plummet.

"But I'm still not happy with the team's results. In the Champions League, we should have beaten at home and we created too many chances, but unfortunately we didn't have one that we could take advantage of. ”

'It was the most difficult period I've had in a couple of seasons since I joined the team, and when a team has a squad as strong as ours, a lot of games are taken for granted, so we have no reason to lose.

Frank Lampard spoke about the situation in his squad.

He admits there has been some confusion within the squad since Jose Mourinho's departure, but Chelsea's results have not been as bad as they could have imagined since Afran Grant took over – third in the league and top of the Champions League group.

"We remain very competitive."

'The next game against Manchester City, I know, a lot of people are watching. The reason for the concern is not us, but the opponents, Manchester City, who can equal Arsenal's unbeaten record with a draw and that is a great honour for them, but it doesn't mean anything to us, and we don't want to be a stepping stone to their record. ”

'Me and my team-mates, we will do our best in the game and I'm sure after this game people won't talk about Manchester City's unbeaten run and when we'll be back in the top ...... of the league'

――――

Frank Lampard is giving his team a morale boost, which is certainly not what City would like to hear, but no one has come forward to say more.

Wan Sheng won't stand up to a player in the ring, and he doesn't want anyone in the team to get involved in a war of words, but he doesn't mind making a sarcastic remark about Grant, "I've noticed a strange situation where since the start of the season, it's been the players who have spoken on behalf of Chelsea, not the manager. ”

'If no one had told me, I would have thought Chelsea didn't have a manager.'

Wan Sheng said this to find some trouble within Chelsea, the newly appointed Israeli Grant, must be hoping to establish authority, but he has just arrived in the Premier League, and he is not good at dealing with many 'bad intentions' media.

So it was Frank Lampard who came out to speak.

If no one speaks up, there is actually nothing, but as soon as Wan Sheng speaks, the situation will be different, and the Chelsea players will definitely look down on Grant even more, thinking that he is not even capable of dealing with the media, and Grant will be embarrassed to deal with it.

But as anyone knows, Grant has to step up and respond, or his managerial authority will take a big hit.

Sure enough, Grant soon stood up and responded, "I'm not like some people, I'm good at showing off in the media, I just need to lead the team to play well." ”

Wan Sheng grinned back, "It's like how good he is at leading the team." But as far as I know, Chelsea have one of the most flashy squads in the Premier League, but they are only third in the league. ”

"If it comes to the end of the season, his team won't be able to compete for the title. Will some people say, 'I'm not good at leading the team, I just need to be talking'? ”

When Grant heard the news, he immediately felt furious, but he didn't know how to respond.

On the morning of the match between Manchester City and Chelsea, The Sun commented on the war of words between Manchester City and Chelsea, 'tactfully', saying, "Grant is really an honest man......"

In other words, honest people are easily bullied...... (To be continued.) )
