"Race machine?"

The Daily Mirror's description of Manchester City has been quoted by many media reports.

So far, Manchester City's results are too eye-catching, too surprising, Manchester United, Chelsea's results have been quite good, but they want to catch up with Manchester City but there seems to be little hope, every time they win a round, Manchester City also wins a round, and every time they draw or lose a game, it is equivalent to pulling down a few points with Manchester City, this competitive situation, even makes people feel hopeless.

"The gap that can't be closed!"

The Sun uses this term to describe the race for the top of the league table, with Manchester United winning all of their league games lately, but they are still four points clear of Manchester City with a game in hand, so even if they win a league game, there is nothing to be happy about, as City have also won.

What is even more surprising to the media is that Manchester City has always won games with small clubs recently, 4:0, 5:0, or even 8:0, as if this kind of big score is not a team at all in the game, and there is no 'hope' of Manchester City's draw or defeat.

This is the most frustrating and desperate thing for Manchester City's rivals.

Therefore, the public believes that it is not an exaggeration to describe Manchester City as a "game machine", and it seems that Manchester City is really unstoppable in the few league games after Christmas.

Wan Sheng also learned of similar remarks, he just smiled silently and didn't say anything more.

Race machines?

If you really describe it like this, it is actually very appropriate, the strength of Manchester City's whole team is not bad, coupled with the advantage of skillful control of tactical play, even if the game is played normally, the team will be a strong contender for the league title.

The Football Trainer System brings the team not only the ability bonus of various coaching skills, but more importantly. Keeping the players in the team in a stable physical condition can try to ensure that each player has a relatively good condition, in fact, this is the biggest advantage that Manchester City can continue to win.

In addition, for Wan Sheng, the way to win is not only in tactics and players, but also in the active bonus skills for players after the coach level is improved, and the use of these skills can also bring about the improvement of the player's performance, which will affect the final outcome of the game.

Coach Max's perfect skill and defensive skill "Solid Barrier" have been used many times.

Its active activating effect. It can improve the goalkeeper's reaction speed by 100 per cent, which can help the goalkeeper to play well in key moments, which is a skill that can make the difference between victory and defeat.

In addition, there is a skill that has never been used, and that was rewarded from the 'Honor Mission' at the beginning of last season.

At the beginning of last season, one of the missions of Wansheng was the 'Personal Honor Mission', which required "the number of Elder members of the Players' Guild System to reach 15", after the end of last season. Wan Sheng did not complete this task, and there were only 14 elder-level members at that time.

Originally, he thought he wouldn't be able to get rewards, but this season, the quest hasn't gone away. Instead, it continued, but the task was not completed after David Silva surpassed 100 reverence and was promoted to the Elder of the Players' Union. The number of Elder members is still '14', and the quest is completed when Darren Bent is also promoted to Elder.

Wan Sheng thought about it and knew the reason.

The number of elders in the original players' union. It's counting himself.,His reverence for himself is a full value of 200.,It's a president-level member.,You can enjoy the ability bonus of union players.,It's a small BUG.,The key is to let him himself enjoy the player's 'treatment'.,But the task system doesn't necessarily recognize this.,So in the calculation of the number of elder-level members,It doesn't count himself.。

Therefore, after Darren Bent was promoted to the elder member, this 'personal honor mission' was truly completed, and he received the mission reward accordingly.

In addition to the experience reward, the more important thing is, of course, the reward for 'training a mastery skill'.

"Training Talent Skills: Appointing a player and forcing them to reach the best of their professional strength in the next 12 hours. (Cooldown: three months)"

This skill works quite well.

Allowing a player to reach the pinnacle of professional fitness is equivalent to allowing that player to explode in the following games, which can almost make the difference between winning and losing a game if it is applied to those big stars.

The rare active use effect can also become the hole card of Wansheng.

The only downside is ...... The cooldown time is too long, and the effect of being able to be used only once in three months, Wan Sheng knows at a glance that this skill must be left in major competitions to be used.

For example, in the Champions League final, it is naturally the best to have players break out in the form of that kind of game, but it is a bit of a pity to use it in the usual league and cup competitions.

So Wansheng has not used it since he got it.

But it can also be used as a hole card for the team.

With these active hole card skills, Wan Sheng is also more confident in winning the league and the Champions League, and the next schedule he has for the team is to determine the league championship in March and April.

"We don't have that much focus on the league!"

'Now we have a four-point advantage over Manchester United and a maximum of seven points with a game in hand, which doesn't guarantee that we will win the league title, so in the next March, and at most in April, I hope we can confirm the league title and then we can focus on the FA Cup, on the Champions League!'

"I'm not satisfied with a league title this season, and I'm sure you won't be satisfied either, right?"

'So, we're going to fight for other titles, but the next focus is on the league and I'm sure we can do it, are you confident?'

All the players of Manchester City expressed their confidence with great fighting spirit.

――――

On February 11, in the 27th round of the league, Manchester City challenged Portsmouth away.

Manchester City did their best to beat Portsmouth 2-0 away to get another three points, and the number of consecutive wins for Manchester City reached 11.

Winning was a good thing, but after the game Wan Sheng had a bit of a headache because the team paid the price for the victory - Downing was injured. Downing's injury was so serious that he even needed two minor surgeries, and the doctor gave the result that it would take at least two months for Downing to recover and return to the training ground.

Two months is a long time.

Two months back at the training ground, according to the normal recovery situation, that is, Downing will miss at least three months of games, and it is already mid-February, then, even with the help of the recovery mission of the football training master, Downing will miss at least all the games in March and April, and he will participate in the last few games in May at most.

The impact on the team is still quite significant.

In the front court, although Downing is not so critical, but his left side has been very stable, and he can also give a lot of support to the front line, in addition, the left side of the team has been short of people, and now Downing is injured, he can only be Sinclair or veteran Reina on top, it is really not good, and he can only let Ivan Crewe or David Silva go to make a cameo, such a supplement is a bit of a tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but there is no way to encounter this kind of problem.

Wan Sheng has already felt the wave of injuries coming to the team.

In fact, league rivals Chelsea have long suffered injury problems, which has also become the fuse of the conflict between manager Jose Mourinho and the club, after a round of injuries, several big players, including central defender John Terry, are unable to represent the team, leaving the Portuguese unavailable, which naturally affects Chelsea's overall results.

Manchester City, due to the task system of the football training master, which can help players recover their fitness and condition, Manchester City's injuries have not been many, except for the previous injuries of Dunn, Darren Bent and others, other players are in good physical condition, but injuries are not good physical conditions, and there are always accidents on the field.

Now that many teams in the league are tough defensively against Manchester City, the team is more prone to injury problems.

However, it is useless to have a headache in this situation, and Wansheng can't make the injured players get better all of a sudden.

The only thing he can do is to lead the team forward.

On February 21, the Champions League round of 16 is approaching, and all Manchester City players flew to the Netherlands to participate in the first leg of the match with PSV Eindhoven.

The next day, Manchester City performed well at the Philips Stadium.

PSV Eindhoven launched an offensive against Manchester City under the shouts of the home team's players, and took the initiative to fight for control of the midfield, but obviously they did not study the style of play against Manchester City thoroughly, and they are not a Premier League team with strong confrontation ability, so Manchester City did not have much pressure during the game, and the cooperation was also played frequently.

In the end, Manchester City scored in each half to win the game 2-0.

The only thing worth saying in this game is that Eindhoven has a Chinese player on the bench, his name is Sun Shen, which the Chinese media is very concerned about, Wan Sheng also feels very interesting to see Sun Shen playing, plus the team's goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei, and Sun Jihai, who came off the bench, there are three Chinese players on the field.

It makes sense that the midfield media cares so much about the game.

Sun Shen's performance is not bad, at least he can be called a qualified player, but unfortunately Eindhoven was suppressed by Manchester City, even at home they can't play form, and Sun Shen didn't play much.

In his post-match interview, Wan Sheng was also asked about Sun Shen, saying, "He is a Chinese player with great potential, and I believe he can do better in the future." ”

And then, it's over.

The Chinese media were a little unhappy about this, because Wan Sheng said too little.

In fact, they hope that Wan Sheng can also introduce Sun Shen to Manchester City, and go to Manchester City to participate in the Premier League, which is much better than staying in the Eredivisie where 'no one pays attention', but Wan Sheng is not interested in this at all, one is that Sun Shen is just an ordinary player, and there is no place he likes, in addition, Manchester City's non-EU player quota is limited, and he cannot introduce so many non-EU players.
