Back to the league, considering that continuous battles will make the team tired, so away from Blackburn, Wan Sheng made a proper rotation of the team, Morris in the middle of the midfield rested for a round, David Silva partnered Joey Barton to start, the formation returned to 442, and Darren Bent started again.

Darren Bent was a very good performer, and he and Bergkamp worked very well together, and the pair partnered at half-time to give Manchester City a two-goal lead, and then in the second half Bergkamp was substituted and the young Ozil got a chance.

When Mesut Ozil came on, the media did not forget the German youngster.

'Bergkamp was replaced, he was a bit old after all, it was difficult to keep the game on the whole game, he was replaced by Mesut Ozil, who came to Manchester City in the summer, this is a young man from Germany, it is difficult to determine his ability, but he can be valued by Wansheng and brought to Manchester City, his performance is still worth looking forward to'"

Mesut Ozil was doing well indeed.

Mesut Ozil didn't impress for 45 minutes in the second half, but in the second striker position, he had a couple of straight passes into the box and gave Darren Bent another chance to score.

3:0, the winner has been decided.

What's more, Darren Bent scored his three goals in a game as he completed his hat-trick.

Many Manchester City fans are very excited at this moment!

Hat-trick!

It's rare to see a player's hat-trick in a season, after all, it's a top league, it's not easy to score three goals in a single game, and it's even rarer for a single player to score three goals. Darren Bent has not been very impressive for Manchester City, and while he has been doing well, he has not been too impressive, with the best known striker for Nicola Anelka. And now Darren Bent's outburst has caught fans off guard.

Not to mention the fans, even Wansheng was a little caught off guard.

He's still looking forward to Darren Bent, but not now, but in the future, at least next season. After all, Darren Bent has a lot of experience, but he has always played in the lower leagues, and it is difficult to replace Anelka's place at Manchester City.

But now Darren Bent has completed the explosion, three goals, each wonderful!

Judging from the individual ability data of football training masters, there is still a certain gap between Darren Bent and Anelka's ability, but I didn't expect him to play so well on the field, which made Wansheng quite surprised, and wanted to play on the field. It can't be based on data alone, it's really hard to imagine when a genius like Darren Bent is really in shape.

After Darren Bent scored a hat-trick, everyone applauded him, even the Blackburn Rovers fans, football knows no borders, even though Darren Bent is a Manchester City player. But this time, his performance was too perfect.

Darren Bent ran straight to the dugout after completing his hat-trick. And hugged Wan Sheng.

"Thank you! Thank you! Darren Bent said excitedly.

Wan Sheng smiled and stroked the top of Darren Bent's head, at this moment he felt that the person in his arms was like his own child, although he was too young to be Darren Bent's father, but these young players were not cultivated by themselves?

He was a little relieved for a moment.

Not to mention how well the coach led the team, it is also an achievement to get such thanks and recognition from the players!

Anelka, who was on the bench, was also watching the game. Anelka was suspended for this round, but he was still in the squad.

Anelka didn't look down on Darren Bent at all before, although Darren Bent actually performed well, but there was still a certain gap between his performance, so Anelka always considered himself to be the team's absolute main striker. Now his position is being challenged.

Scoring three goals in a single game and scoring a hat-trick, even if you are as proud as Anelka, you have to admit that Darren Bent has performed quite well, even if he is on the pitch, he can't do any better, and more importantly, after five rounds of the league, Darren Bent has scored five goals and he has only scored two.

Five league games and a goal gap of three gave Anelka a sense of crisis.

Looking at the last five league games, he has started three of them, Darren Bent has started only two, but he has only scored two goals in the first round against Chelsea, and midfielder Morris has also scored two, which means that he has not scored many goals compared to midfielder Morris.

This sense of urgency is very dangerous for Anelka, and he feels that he should try to play as many games as possible and score more goals in the future in order to secure his place in the team

The match ended 1:3.

Darren Bent was undoubtedly named Man of the Match with three goals, and he was later named in the Premier League Team of the Round by Sky Sports and ESPN.

After this round, the English media reported a lot on Darren Bent.

The most influential news was an interview with England coach McClaren, who was in high spirits when he took over the England team, and immediately said after hearing Darren Bent score three goals, "I will consider adding Darren Bent's name to the England squad next time." ”

On the one hand, this is a signal of optimism for Darren Bent, and on the other hand, it is also a signal of goodwill to Manchester City and Wansheng.

There has always been a conflict between the national team and the club, but the two are actually mutually beneficial, the club imports talents for the national team, and the national team's game will make the player's reputation higher, and the players who can be selected for the national team will definitely be more famous than those who have not been selected, and if they perform well in the national team, the value of the players will also increase a lot.

With the expression of England coach McClaren, the English media is even more enthusiastic about Darren Bent.

What's more, Darren Bent is an English player, and the English media is more willing to tout the players of their own country, such as Anelka, as a French player, there are not so many English media to pursue, in short, the English media is still very supportive of players from their own country, foreign players, unless they perform very well. It's very influential, like Thierry Henry, they can't report it if they want to, and it's hard for other players to get similar treatment.

With Darren Bent on the red end with a hat-trick, the next round of the Premier League was fast underway.

Wansheng didn't have any special treatment for Darren Bent because of the media coverage. In this home game against West Ham United, the starting striker was still Nicola Anelka.

However, in order to prepare for the Champions League group stage with Bayern Munich, in addition to the forward line, Wan Sheng still rotated the midfield to a certain extent, David Silva got a rest, Dunn and Kopelle Ferreira also rested for a round, and the starting center-back combination was Ricardo Costa and Sun Jihai.

This is the first time the duo have started in the league.

Ricardo Costa and Sun Jihai are both very experienced, but in terms of personal ability and awareness, they are still slightly lacking. However, Wan Sheng believes that the two will be enough to deal with West Ham United at home.

The game was as imagined.

Despite the lack of a solid partnership between Ricardo Costa and Sun Jihai, City defended well, failing to score a single goal at the end of the 90 minutes, while City relied on Nicolas Anelka's low shot from the right side of the box to secure a narrow 1-0 victory.

When Anelka scored, he looked very flat, but his eyes flashed with determination, and his spirit relaxed a lot.

As a matter of fact. Since Darren Bent scored three goals in the last round, Anelka has been under pressure. He was the team's leading scorer, but he scored three fewer goals than his 'second scorer', and his replacement, Darren Bent, made him feel like his place in the team was precarious.

It was a goal that put him at ease.

Although it was still two goals less, Anelka believes he will catch up later, let alone so. There's also the Champions League, he's got a lot of appearances, he's very confident that he's the strongest, he's got a lot of time at City, he's got a lot of experience. All he needs to do is score more goals and solidify his position in the team.

Wan Sheng on the sidelines was also pleased with Anelka's goal.

He has always wanted to build a healthy competition within the team, otherwise it is difficult to make all the players treat the game positively just by relying on the temptation of the championship, after all, football is a sport of eleven people, some players will think, everyone is working hard, it is okay to run a few steps less, this is a red flag, but when a few players think so, the team's performance will definitely be a notch.

This can often be the difference between winning and losing a game.

The competition for the team's forward line is very good now, although there are actually only three strikers in the forward line, Anelka, Darren Bent and Bergkamp, Bergkamp is old, there is no competition to speak of, his name is big enough, his performance is solid enough, and when he can play, no one will compete for positions or have any grievances.

In other words, the real striker two players, Anelka is the absolute main force, Darren Bent is the substitute, everyone thinks so, even Wansheng is the same, so it is not easy for the forward line to compete, maybe Anelka's performance was not as good as he imagined.

But it's different now, and with Darren Bent doing well, Anelka is under pressure.

In this way, no matter who plays, they will strive for a good performance.

Darren Bent wants to replace Nicolas Anelka as the starting striker, or rather, he wants to have more opportunities to perform and get into the England team with his performances, so he will definitely try to perform, Anelka will feel the pressure of competition and will definitely try to secure his preferred position.

That's healthy competition within the team.

As a head coach, Wan Sheng would love to see that this is the case in every position, so he doesn't have to worry about players not playing hard

After the match with West Ham United, there is only one game left in the Premier League in September, and the sixth round of the Premier League is over.

After this round, Manchester City won 5 and drew 1, and the opening results were quite gorgeous.

That start has even been comparable to last season's winning streak for Chelsea.

However, there was not much media coverage of Manchester City's game, and they focused on Manchester United, because Manchester United had a better start to the season, they had been on a winning streak, and at the end of this round, Manchester United was once again in the spotlight, not because of the continuation of the winning streak, but because of the draw for Manchester United.

They were held to a 1-1 draw away from home by promoted Maledin.

Just before the start of this round, Manchester City Evening News columnist Sadler also wrote an article predicting that Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney will break out in the game. The victim was either Reading, Benfica who were about to face in the Champions League group stage, or both, and after the first 90 minutes his prediction was half defeated, Manchester United's wonder boy continued to be dumb, and it was a goal from Portuguese genius Cristiano Ronaldo who "leveled" Reading.

this game. Gary Neville's rare mistake caused the Reds to concede a goal, but that wasn't the root cause of United's failure to win promotion, statistically speaking, United had 25 shots more than three times higher than Reading, 71.6 per cent possession was well above Reading's 28.4 per cent, corners were 6 to 2, and the pass completion rate up front was 78.9 per cent.

The numbers proved that United dominated the field, but the strange disease of "not being able to score" was attached to the Red Devils this time.

Since the scene is dominant. The number of shots on goal is also dominant, so the reason for not scoring can only be found from the last kick, especially the striker who is responsible for the attack, Rooney has 5 shots, but they have all done useless work, only 2 are within the range of the goal frame, which does not pose any threat at all, and the other C-Ronaldo who plays as a second striker is slightly stronger. In addition to the equaliser, there were four key passes. Seven shots on goal and four on target.

It can also be seen from the post-match ratings, Sky Sports gave Cristiano Ronaldo a score of 9, the highest in the whole Manchester United team, but Wayne Rooney only scored 5 points.

"First to last on the team", "disappointed", the media's evaluation of Wayne Rooney was succinct and clear.

In the summer, Ruud van Nistelrooy left Manchester United before and after. There has been constant discussion in the media about whether the departure of the Dutchman could spell disaster for Manchester United. Alex Ferguson insists United have reached a turning point in their "ditching the old and embracing the new", with Saha and Wayne Rooney the main two-pronged duo, Ruud van Nistelrooy no longer relevant.

But another voice has not been "drowned".

Manchester City Evening News expert Hans said that "Manchester United will regret the relegation of firepower", and believes the departure of prolific killer Ruud van Nistelrooy will be bitter for the Red Devils.

Hans voiced his opinion. 'Frenchman Saha contributed 15 goals for Manchester United last season but has been plagued by injuries since his move from Fulham to the Red Devils. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is 33 years old, with a knee injury that ended his career, and although he is back, he has missed out on the best period of three years. As for Alan Smith, he is still battling injuries, and the former Leeds were not a prolific striker in the first place. ”

Hans's analysis is very reasonable, Saha's goal rate is indeed objective, after joining Manchester United in the winter of 04, the French goalscorer's goal rate is 7 goals in 10 starts, but the injury has become a nightmare that he can't get rid of, two surgeries have made him slump, and the injury has repeatedly made the news that Manchester United is going to sell him, and now Saha has just found his goal form, the injury seems to be coming again, before the game against Reading, he withdrew from training because of a thigh muscle strain, and Ferguson did not arrange for him to start for the sake of insurance, which is a dangerous signal, Saha's knees are fragile, that's a fact.

Hans also mentioned Wayne Rooney, but on the positive side, believing that Rooney could complete the goal quota. But what is the quota? Can it make up for the black hole left by Vanney?

Judging from Rooney's last two seasons, it has been very difficult.

Rooney's style is of the assault type, he is good at starting quickly and opening up gaps, and shooting is not his forte. He scored 16 goals in 34 league games last season, a far cry from Ruud van Nistelrooy's 21 goals in 27 games.

'Losing Ruud van Nistelrooy was a blow to us because he can score a lot of goals. In his autobiography, Wayne Rooney expressed his fears that United had gone a prolific killer and that his fears had now become true.

Wayne Rooney's goal scoring efficiency is on the low side, Saha is often injured, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is past his prime, and it remains to be seen how well Smith can play. With only six rounds of the league to play, Manchester United's forward danger has already emerged.

On the other side, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who joined Real Madrid, has scored three goals and is well received by Fabio Capello

After the end of this round, the media are Manchester United-related reports, all kinds of news is also very unfavorable to Manchester United, see these reports, the same Manchester Wan Sheng is very happy, he remembered the end of the 4 rounds, the media report on Manchester City, at that time many media were singing 'sad song' to Manchester City, speaking of which, Manchester City was actually just a draw of a game, as a result, a group of media stood up, from all aspects of the analysis that Manchester United has no hope of winning the championship, and said that Manchester City can only strive for the top four in the league.

Now it's Manchester United's turn.

The same Reading team, the same draw, the result to the mouth of the media, are about to come to the conclusion that "Manchester United strikers can't score".

Of course, perhaps the happier are the Berkshire media in the South East of England, who are the absolute favourites of Reading.

Reading is the first time that Reading has appeared on the Premier League stage after 135 years of ups and downs, and for many Reading fans, they dare not imagine that they will play against Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and other strong teams in the top flight, but now they have finally realized their dream and stepped onto the big stage of the English top flight.

For the first time in history, their goal is undoubtedly relegation, and they would never have imagined that after six rounds of league games, the team would achieve such a 'brilliant' record - 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in 6 rounds, of which the '2 draws' are the result of matches against two strong teams in Manchester.

This 'perfect answer' of six rounds of the league is enough to make all Reading fans proud.

Many other regional media outlets are also analysing Reading, who were not eyed in the summer a 'first-of-its-kind' promotion side, but now they are in the spotlight when they draw back-to-back games against Manchester City and Manchester United.

They have received more praise and attention. (To be continued.) )
