Ivan Crewe hasn't been doing well lately.

The new manager, Adrian Boothroyd, believes in the new players he has brought in, while Ivan Crewe has been mediocre in all aspects and has rarely shone in training and games, so he has gradually lost his place in the main team.

Ivan Crewe stands out for free-kicks, and on the pitch he has a very good mentality, so he was able to break out last season and score a lot of goals, but the situation was different after Adrian Boothroyd's arrival, the team's tactics have changed a bit, he has struggled to find opportunities even if he is inserted as a wing-back, and as a result, he has only scored a goal until now, and after losing his main position, his limited appearances make it even more difficult to perform well.

Ivan Crewe is naturally very unhappy with the situation, so he has already considered leaving Derbyshire.

In fact, with the performance of last season, he is not worried about the next family, many teams want to find a stable full-back, but he thought about it for a long time and decided to follow his mentor, because following his mentor, he is confident that he can perform well again.

So he found Wansheng.

Last time, Wan Sheng comforted him a few words and agreed to him to come to Manchester City, and now the two are also discussing this matter, but unlike Benitez finding Robbie Fowler, the two discussed on the phone, and they are not afraid of being eavesdropped, because the two did not talk about sensitive issues, but Ivan Crewe talked about his recent performance and encounters, and Wan Sheng comforted him a few more words, as if they were a pair of harmonious teachers and students.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts what they were talking about now.

Wansheng must hope that Ivan Kru will come to Manchester City, Ivan Kru's strength can be guaranteed, after coming to the team, his form can also be guaranteed, his set-piece ability is also very much needed by the team, and the team is very short of full-backs, Musampa has just returned to training. It will take at least December or even after Christmas to get back on the pitch, Sinclair has been in the starting line almost every game, and his form is hard to guarantee, and many times he needs to rely on veteran Reina to make a cameo appearance at full-back in order to fill the squad, and the arrival of Ivan Crewe just solves that problem.

But Derby County certainly don't want to sell the player to Manchester City!

The main thing is that Wan Sheng is the manager of Manchester City, and Pierce, the chairman of Derby County FC, has lost a lot of face on Wan Sheng, and he definitely does not want to send the player to Wan Sheng again.

So what to do?

With a normal transfer approach, there will certainly be some competition, plus the 'special relationship' between Wansheng and Derby. It's hard to buy Ivan Crewe, and even if Ivan Crewe himself wants to come to Manchester City, Derby County will definitely raise the price very high.

With the current economic situation of Manchester City, there is no need to do this even if it is paid, it is always a bit of a feeling of being wronged.

So the only way to do this is to put pressure on the Derby County club.

Normally, Wansheng would not like to use this method, but that's the way it is now, and Ivan Krue is here for you. It is estimated that Derby County also wants to get rid of the burden of Ivan Crewe, his salary is still quite high, and only the chairman Pierce will be very unhappy, but so what?

The guy was not happy. Wansheng will be even happier!

However, Wan Sheng did not ask Ivan Crewe to really do anything, he believed that Ivan Crewe knew what to do, all he had to do was let Manchester City FC make an offer.

After solving the matter of Ivan Crewe. Wan Sheng thought of a man - Bischov.

This guy went to the reserves during the summer preparations, and then he was never heard from. He had been in the reserves for half a year, and Wan Sheng felt that this punishment was enough. Rather than let him get a salary for nothing in the team, it is better to put it up for sale directly, how can he sell it for a million pounds.

So Wan Sheng called Bischov's agent and asked him to hurry up and prepare for the transfer.

Bischev's economist informed Bischev, who went to be very annoyed, "He's going to sell me?" What did he think of me! If you want to put it in the reserve, you can put it in the reserve, and you will stay for half a year! Well, now that I'm used to the reserves, I don't want to leave! Tell him that I just want to stay here and I won't go anywhere else! ”

So Bischov's economist replied to Wan Sheng, saying, "My players are very loyal to Manchester City and don't want to leave even if they play for the reserve team!" ”

Wan Sheng was stunned for a long time, and then smiled, "It turns out that he is still in love with the reserves!" Well, well, in that case, he just went ahead and stayed there. ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Bischof, even if he sells it, it will only be a million pounds, and the team can afford this loss, the key is that he is unrepentant and is so powerful against himself!

Well, then continue to stay in the reserves until the end of the contract!

Wansheng doesn't have any psychological pressure, now that the team's results are so good, what players do you want to buy, as long as it is not too excessive, the board of directors will definitely approve it unanimously, and then the funds will not be a problem at all, not to mention, Ivan Crewe is not so expensive, there is no need to make a big move.

Since you're still working against Lao Tzu, let's see who has the final say in the team!

……

Bischev has always wanted to leave, and he doesn't want to live in the reserve team with a salary before he retires.

What he had said to his agent before was just impulsive, and when he heard the agent's reply, he was stunned, and he suddenly thought of what kind of person that young head coach was - that was a ruthless character who let him stay in the reserve team for half a year!

I've been in the reserves for half a year, and it doesn't seem strange to stay for another half a year......

Thinking of this, Bischev shuddered!

He suddenly thought of Anelka, who also came to the reserves, but quickly returned to the first team because he apologized to the young coach, should he do the same himself?

No, never!

Want him to apologize to the young Chinese? That's absolutely impossible! So he could only continue to stay in the reserve team with grievances.

……

Soon there was news of Ivan Crewe coming out of Derby, and his disagreement with manager Adrian Boothroyd was no longer news, which everyone who followed Derby County knew, but this time, it was the first time that Ivan Crewe came forward to express his displeasure with Boothroyd.

'We've changed our tactics a little bit from last season, but it's bad, not good. He wanted to build on Mr. Wansheng's tactics, but he didn't do it well. I didn't see any effect other than to score fewer goals. ”

Ivan Crewe said sarcastically.

"The results of the team are not good, not to mention that compared to last season, we are even under relegation pressure. The defending champions are under relegation pressure, and what could be more interesting? ”

'He thinks I'm mediocre and others are better, but I only scored fewer goals than Rafael last season.

'There's a lot of people in the team who are unhappy with him, he knows that and he's been trying to do something about it, but it hasn't worked.

Ivan Crewe said a lot in the media. So much so that the apparent peace between him and coach Adrian Boothroyd could not be maintained, and the contradictions between the two had become public.

Adrian Boothroyd doesn't have the toughness of Wansheng, and his prestige in Derby County is not high due to his team results and other problems, and he can't be too tough at all, so Ivan Crewe has become a big problem.

Bosroyd raised the issue of Ivan Crewe with club president Pierce, who also decided to sell Ivan Crewe in the winter, and in Pierce's opinion, Ivan Crewe had performed well before. But after all, it was last season, and he didn't perform at all this season, so he took advantage of the residual heat to deal with it quickly. It's still a good deal to get out of trouble while still getting a good transfer fee.

It was at this time that Derby County received an offer from Manchester City. Pierce's face darkened suddenly, he felt that this matter must have something to do with the damn Chinese, but there was no evidence.

"No! Outright refusal! Pierce immediately commanded in a loud voice. We can sell it cheaply to other clubs, but never to them! ”

Sam Rush next to him frowned.

Although he supported Pierce as the president of the club, in reality, the club did not belong to Pierce himself, but to the entire GSE group, so Pierce did not have the right to decide to lose money, even if it was 'less profitable'.

Pierce hated the Chinese, but he didn't feel anything.

If Manchester City want to spend money on Ivan Crewe, what if they don't have a higher price? Derby County and Manchester City are not in competition anyway.

If Pierce insisted on doing so, he wouldn't mind calling Mr. Apuyabi, who was far away in the United States.

……

On December 4, the 15th round of the Premier League ushered in, and Manchester City challenged Charlton Athletic away.

In recent years, manager Kubishli has done well with limited resources, but in the second half of last season, Charlton experienced a big decline, and his results plummeted, almost falling to the bottom of the abyss, but fortunately, with the results at the beginning of the season, he finally retained his place in the Premier League.

Kubishli has had a lot of gains this summer.

With the loan of Smerking from Chelsea, and Newcastle's Ambrosse, Charlton's midfield has ushered in a new improvement, Manchester United's Spiketor and former Inter Milan centre-back Solondo have been welcomed at the back, and the striker Earnshaw, who was bought at a high price from West Bromwich Albion, has improved Charlton's strength a lot.

In the first 14 rounds of the league, Charlton also had a good result, ranking 13th, which is neither good nor bad for them, but it is a big gap compared to Manchester City's league top.

Facing the top of the league, coach Kubishli is also serious, "We will do our best, the opponent is the first in the league, it puts a lot of pressure on us, but we will stick to the way the team has played. ”

He said so.

Charlton's 'previous style of play', that is, the style of play in the past two seasons, is still based on fast attack, and the defense is slightly worse, but it must be mentioned that their attack is indeed sharp, in the first 14 rounds of the league, they scored 21 goals, an average of 1.5 goals per game, ranking 6th in the league, but they also conceded a lot of goals, conceding 26 goals in 14 games, ranking 3rd from the bottom of the league, which also lowered their points, so they can only rank 13th in the league.

But what must be affirmed is their attacking ability, so before this game, Wan Sheng also made a special emphasis on paying attention to Charlton's attack.

He said it very seriously, and everyone wrote it down carefully.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Nicolas Anelka's powerful shot from outside the box hit Sorondo, and the ball was hoisted past goalkeeper Pollitt into the net to give City a 1-0 lead.

Anelka was happy after the goal, but the game had just started and he didn't celebrate much.

He was right to do so.

Just 11 minutes later, captain Distin made a long pass in a straight line at the back, Anelka formed an unguarded offside position, Charlton goalkeeper Pollit made a decisive attack, but Anelka was very calm and scored easily with a right-footed volley.

“2:0！ 2:0！ Anelka! It took just 22 minutes for the French striker to score two goals and now surpass his international team-mate Thierry Henry to top the Premier League scorer's charts. ”

"Or many Meneke should consider recalling Anelka to his team......"

The City fans were jubilant and celebrating in the away stands, while Charlton Athletic were very depressed as they came to see the team and the league first game, only to be broken twice in just 22 minutes, leaving them with no hope of winning.

Fortunately, after 15 minutes, Charlton pulled a goal back with a quick counter-attack.

But that doesn't change the fact that they're weak defensively, and in the face of City's tough attack, their defence has been broken down time and time again, and Manchester City have been given chance after chance.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, City found the back of the net four times for Charlton, who also scored, but they only scored one.

The final score was fixed at 2-6, and Manchester City won away from home, as well as making it 11 consecutive league wins.

An 11-game winning streak is not easy, but many Manchester City fans are also concerned about their rivals, because while Manchester City's results are good, Chelsea's results are also very good, and they have been winning back-to-back since the defeat to Manchester United.

Unfortunately, Chelsea won again.

They were not as happy as Manchester City, but they also took all three points, and they are still only three points behind Manchester City in the league.

It was Chelsea's 10th successive home win as they beat Middlesbrough 1-0, although manager Jose Mourinho was still a little unhappy after the game, believing he should have scored more.

Drogba, Frank Lampard and others had good chances, but in the end it was only Terry's header who broke through the opposition's goal, and thanks to Roshenbach's clearance error.

'I think we should have scored more goals,' Mourinho said, 'and we played very good football, but at the same time I don't think Middlesbrough should have a bigger defeat because they played so well and made it hard for us. ”

Middlesbrough striker and Blues veteran Luis Hasselbaink hit the post in the first half, which made Mourinho nervous. Before the game, Jussel Hasselbaink had said it was a mistake for Chelsea to let him go, and unfortunately this time he missed out on the "perfect revenge".

'When Hasselbaink missed that opportunity in that way, it looked like luck was on our side. Mourinho said: 'But after that, we created a lot of good chances but we couldn't find the back of the net. After the goal, we had a chance to score a second goal but it didn't happen. ”

'We felt a little bit of pressure and I was a little bit worried, but I knew that even if the lead was small, my team would be able to fight to the end. We were able to organise and were very strong defensively, so we were always confident. ”

After 15 rounds of the league, it can be seen that the competition for the top of the league table has heated up.

Manchester City and Chelsea's constant wins have chilled the rest of the team, but also raised the competition to a new level - whether Manchester City wants to open up the gap or Chelsea want to catch up on the points, it seems that the opponent's mistakes will have to be relied upon......
