Remarkably, all three of Rangers' goalscoring players came from summer signings, with The Sun praising "it proves that manager Smith has really put good steel to good use." ”

However, the brightest Gabonese striker after the game, Kusin, was unhappy before the game, because since Lens moved to Glasgow, he has not been able to play the main team, in an interview with "France Football", he also vomited bitterness, "The club promised me enough to play, I can't understand why I always sit on the bench!" ”

If it weren't for the injury of the main striker Dashville, it would not be Kusin's turn to make a move this time.

Interestingly, the Gabonese man had the opportunity to challenge for Ligue 1 supremacy every season when he was still in Lens, but he never made such a splash, saying proudly after the game, "When I was in Ligue 1, I never had a better time visiting the Stade Gérland. It means a lot to me to score my first goal in the Champions League here because it's been my dream to show my face in the Champions League since I was a kid! ”

The first half-time opener for Rangers was McCollok, who arrived from Wigan in the summer, and was dubbed a "bit clever peasant" by Scottish fans, with the implication that he was stocky but lackluster.

In the 23rd minute, Beasley took a corner kick on the right side, and the "farmer" in the penalty area jumped high to send the ball into the goal.

3-0, this is Glasgow Rangers' most hearty victory in Champions League history!

Victories have been difficult for the Scots in previous decades, including a 3-2 win over PSV Eindhoven in 1978 and a 2-1 win away to Leeds in 1992, with captain Alex Ferguson deeming it "the best night of my career".

Beasley, who set up McCorlock for a corner and then completed his one-on-one mission, said: "We don't have big players. There's no such thing as a genius who can change the game in an instant, but everyone is working hard for the team. I'm hoping to make it to the top - obviously we're halfway there. ”

With a strong 3-0 away win over Lyon, Rangers were the brightest team in the second round of the Champions League.

When Wan Sheng got the news. They were a little stunned, and in an interview, he said with a smile, "I never imagined that I would compete with Glasgow for the top spot in the group." ”

But for Manchester City, Rangers' victory is just news.

Let's talk happily. Ligue 1 champions Lyon, who had lost two in a row and were even beaten by a Scottish side by three goals away, fell to the ground, and that was all, as Manchester City also emerged victorious.

Manchester City's results have been a bit more brilliant than those of Rangers.

Two matches in the group stage of the Champions League. In the first match against seeded Lyon, Manchester City won 4-0 and won 2-0 away at Bundesliga champions Stuttgart, two games. Score six goals. With six points from a clean sheet and six points, Manchester City have two more goal difference advantages over Rangers.

Stuttgart and Lyon, meanwhile, did not score a single point.

The format of Group E is already somewhat clear.

On the plane back to Manchester, Wan Sheng was in a good mood and he talked to Bergkamp about the Champions League format, about the teams that had performed well in this round and the opponents City might face in the knockout rounds, and about training with the team halfway through. He turned around and announced to the players that they would have a holiday tomorrow.

This decision was echoed by all the players.

"Hooray!"

"Boss!"

Everyone knows that Manchester City have a good result, and they put it down to Wansheng's coaching ability. It comes down to Manchester City's overall performance, but in reality, many people overlook the fact that Manchester City train much harder than other teams.

Since the summer, including the international break, Manchester City has not had more than five days off.

What is this concept?

The summer training session was on 20 July and now on 4 October, with almost 75 days off in between, but with only five days off, City will have an average of 15 days, or two weeks, with one day off.

It's hard to train every day, and it's even harder to compete.

With such hard work for two weeks to take one day off, you can imagine how heavy the workload of Manchester City's players is.

Many people see the high income and scenery of the stars, but they don't see their work and life being much busier than ordinary people, so when they hear that they can have a relaxing day off, every player is happy from the bottom of their hearts.

――――

Being able to take a day off doesn't mean the team is relaxed.

Manchester City's fixtures are quite dense.

After the second round of the Champions League group stage, on the third day, they welcomed the ninth round of the Premier League against Middlesbrough.

Last season, McClaren took charge of the England national team, and Middlesbrough endured a somewhat chaotic season, but they maintained a mid-table table despite their lack of prospect of making a splash in Europe.

Middlesbrough fans and the media don't actually hope that the team can really play well, and some Middlesbrough fans seem to be very satisfied as long as the team continues to survive in the Super League, after all, they are not like those teams with foreign investment, and the club's funding is always a problem.

So, for manager Gareth Southgate, he just needs to fine-tune the squad to ensure Myburgh continues to survive in the Premier League.

In the transfer market, Southgate's approach has been cautious and precise.

In the defender position, Southgate first got the deal he most desired: turning Woodgate into a regular and officially signing him from Real Madrid for 7 million, with a four-year contract, Woodgate's ability to return to China has been fully proven, and this deal can be said to be the best part of Middlesbrough's summer transfer.

In addition, Middlesbrough also brought Luke Young from relegated Charlton Athletic for 2.5 million to strengthen their right-back.

Arsenal striker Aria Diere is no longer interested in becoming a Cup Player under Arsene Wenger, so he opted to move to Middlesbrough on a four-year contract with a price tag of £2 million, and Tougay, who plays for Fenerbach, is on a four-year contract for free. He scored a hat-trick against Manchester United in the '04 Champions League.

Although it is free to join, Tugai is actually one of Southgate's main members.

The number of players transferred from Middlesbrough was expected. So there was little sensation, striker Christie injured his left leg and then his right, his career at Myburgh ended bleakly, the club ended his contract with him, and Danig Graham, who had no place, went to Karlisler as a main striker, and last season's number one striker Viduka joined Newcastle. It didn't cause much repercussions, and Australians are used to changing owners every two or three years.

Parnaby, who has been with Myburgh for 14 years, has travelled to Birmingham this time. Bruce likes his versatility on the right, while Portuguese Xavier, who moved to the MLS on a free transfer, team-mates with David Beckham.

Overall. Middlesbrough's incoming and outgoing moves have been lackluster. There is nothing particularly worth reporting on, so the British media have only commented on their results in the new season, saying, "Middlesbrough will continue to maintain a mid-table place in the league." ”

In the first 8 rounds of the league, Middlesbrough's results are the same, with two wins, three draws and three losses, which is not good or too bad. Continue to insist on results, relegation can not be a problem at all. There is little hope of hitting the Europa League.

So the game away from Manchester Stadium also seemed very dull.

3:1。

To be able to score a goal shows that Middlesbrough are playing well.

Many people know that Manchester City have a strong attacking ability, but because of this, they neglected to pay attention to their defensive ability, in fact, Manchester City conceded the fewest goals last season, and this season is slightly worse, but in the first eight rounds of the league, Manchester City have only conceded five goals, compared to the 18 goals they have scored, five goals is nothing.

All in all, Manchester City's defensive ability is still very good.

Middlesbrough are already playing well, but the difference in quality combined with home advantage makes it difficult for them to win against Manchester City.

After the game, Wan Sheng also praised Middlesbrough, especially the striker Yakub, who played very well and was quite active throughout the game, "His performance was outstanding, especially that goal, from a very small angle, facing defenders, goalkeepers, scoring the ball, it was not easy. ”

The Guardian joked, "A single comment from Wan Sheng can make Yakubu the only player in the Middlesbrough team who doesn't feel disappointed about losing." ”

It was after the game that the team really relaxed because it was the international break and there were 10 days without a game.

Those players who should enter their respective national teams have left, and it is especially worth mentioning that this time the Chinese national team did not recruit Sun Jihai and Wang Xiaolei into the team.

In fact, with Xie Zhuanlong being taken away by the National Security Agency, there was a major earthquake in domestic football.

Without the 'number one', the Chinese Football Association and the national football team are in chaos.

Xie Zhuanlong was taken away, and there is no result yet, the National Security Bureau just said, "It is still under investigation......", domestic media analysis, this sentence of official means, proves that Xie Zhulong's matter is not small, otherwise it would have been 'released' by now, maybe this time Xie Zhulong, who 'covered the sky with one hand' in the Chinese football circle, was really qualitatively directly planted.

Within the Chinese Football Association, there is no second 'number one', so no one stands up to preside over things.

This is good news for some people, such as the so-called 'head coach' of the Chinese team, Latomir Dujkovic, and the coach of the Chinese national team, Forado Petrovic, who always had the Chinese Football Association at their heads and did not even have the right to recruit players normally.

Now there is no one on the head.

So the two can arrange the national team according to their own ideas, and they do not have a single European player in the squad, Forado Petrovic specifically said for this, "European players, it is worth the loss to return home to participate in the warm-up match, because they cannot guarantee their form." I'm only going to think about getting those players on the roster for next month's World Cup qualifiers. ”

This statement has been recognized by many people.

Wan Sheng was satisfied with Forado Petrovic's statement, which means that Wang Xiaolei and Sun Jihai can maintain their form, and he praised Forado Petrovic, "He (Forado Petrovic) knows how to build a team, will think about the players themselves, and have his own thoughts and ideas in coaching. I believe he's a fantastic manager. I hope he can lead the Chinese national team and play well in the World Cup qualifiers. ”

Of course, the above is just a polite remark.

Even ordinary fans in China know that the Chinese team can only qualify for the World Cup qualifiers 'theoretically'.

It is rare for Wansheng to form a tacit understanding with the coach of the Chinese team, which was not done when Zhu Guanghu was coaching, and many insiders also know that Xie Zhulong's matter must be inseparable from Wansheng, and some Chinese media secretly commented, "Wansheng has begun to spread its influence in China." ”

The Chinese Football Association did not make any more noise.

In fact, some people within the Football Association were shocked by Xie Zhuanlong's matter, and they finally knew that as a person from the Chinese Football Association, they couldn't be too arrogant, Xie Zhuanlong was a lesson from the past, he felt that he was very influential and very bullish, what was the result? Taken away!

In short, even as an official, it is better to keep a low profile.

Compared with the behemoth of the government, they are the leaders of Chinese football, but they are only small departments of branches, and even subordinate to the General Administration of Sports.

――――

During the international break, the team did not play and training could not be carried out, so Wan Sheng simply gave the whole team three days off.

Wan Sheng and the other assistant coaches, as well as some of the club's team staff, also got a rare holiday, everyone seemed very happy, it is not easy to have three days off in the middle of the season, many people are talking about how to spend the holiday, Diamares is going to spend time with his wife and children, and Bergkamp invites everyone to his home.

Wan Sheng refused, "I'm going to the United States." ”

"The United States? To see Little Murdoch? Bergkamp quipped that he generally likes to refer to Anita as little Murdoch.

Wan Sheng nodded, "I made an appointment with her to meet in New York." ”

Everyone laughed.

Wan Sheng's love life is not a secret, his love affair with Anita has long been exposed by various media, many people say that they are 'golden boys and girls', but in fact, Bergkamp, Diamares and others are still a little jealous 'ridicule' Wan Sheng found a young girl.

Anita is more than five years older than Wan Sheng, and the age gap between the two is actually not big.

But Wansheng is a football coach, in the football coaching industry, even Diamares and Bergkamp are young, that is to say, the people Wansheng comes into contact with on weekdays are all old, so Wansheng is not young, and his relationship with the young Anita feels a little weird.

Wan Shengcai doesn't care what these people think, just let them be jealous!

He's not one of these old guys, he's only over 30 years old, isn't it just right to find a 25-year-old girl? What's more, he and Anita are in a normal relationship, and it took a long time to know each other before they decided on a relationship, and he felt that he was conservative enough.

That night, Wan Sheng stepped on a plane to New York.
