After Bergkamp's goal, the game remained the same.

For Sheffield United, it is a success to get a point away from home, but it is also necessary to score a goal, but in the face of Manchester City's strong attack, it is difficult for them to do much in the front. Head coach Warnock looked at the forward line he had built single-handedly, and could only smile and shake his head wryly on the sidelines.

Warnock is 58 years old and is a veteran manager in England.

Warnock began his football career at Chesterfield at the age of 19 and went on to play for Rotherham United, Hartlepool United, Scunthorpe United, Aldershott, Barnsley, York City and Crewe, making 326 league appearances in 11 years.

In 1972, at Hartlepool United, Warnock won the club's Player of the Year award that year.

Warnock didn't play for a well-known team and was just an ordinary player as a professional, so his coaching career started very ordinarily - starting in the amateur league and working his way up the ranks, and after gaining some experience in the Sunday league, Warnock got his first full-time coaching job in the Queensburg Trisome in the Northern Super League in 1981.

Warnock then took charge of Burton and Scarborough.

In 1987, he teamed up with assistant coach Paul Evans to lead Scarborough to the Nations League title, the first team to be promoted directly to the Football League since the reform of the English professional league system.

Warnock, who spent his early years on the Peterborough United coaching staff, met Mick S, who was the team's assistant coach at the time. In 1988, Warnock was appointed manager of Notts County in League C, and Jones became its assistant coach. Also joining the coaching staff are former Scarborough assistant coach Evans and team doctor Dave Wilson. The four men led Notts County to successive promotions to League One in the 1991-92 season, during which Warnock turned down coaching offers from Chelsea and Sunderland, only to be relegated from the Premier League the following year. Warnock was relieved of his position as head coach.

Since then, Warnock has moved to Huddersfield, Plymouth, Oldham Athletic, Berry and other teams, and his coaching results have been quite good.

In 1999, Warnock arrived at Sheffield United, a team he had supported since childhood, and in the 2002-2003 season, he led the team to the semi-finals of the FA Cup and League Cup, but eventually lost to Liverpool and Arsenal, and the team eventually advanced to the final of the League One promotion play-offs, but were beaten 3-0 by Wolves and missed out on the Premier League.

It was also the first time in Warnock's coaching career that he had lost in the promotion play-offs.

The year 2005 was a turning point. Jones continued to work with Warnock, who was appointed assistant coach of Sheffield United, and together the pair led Sheffield United to a runners-up finish in the Championship and promotion to the Premier League.

Now the two continue to work together to fight for Sheffield United's relegation.

But obviously, relegation in the Premier League is very difficult, which is not easier than promotion in the Championship, and for many teams, coming to the Premier League for a season is completely equivalent to 'sightseeing'. Because they don't have the capital to stay, Warnock wants the team to achieve relegation this season, provided they get more points, for that. He had the team go on a purge and buy over the summer.

After a series of work, Warnock was feeling the hard time when the team actually made it to the Premier League - Sheffield United have only won one game so far.

Such a terrible result. It is enough to show that Sheffield United is not strong enough, but on the other hand, the media and fans will also blame the manager. Especially after England football has a precedent of 10,000 wins, "Look at the young manager of Derby, the club didn't invest anything at all, and he built Derby County into a Premier League champion team. ”

One can imagine how much pressure Warnock is on.

Many people know that Wansheng has been successful at Derby County, but this has become the pressure to lead the team to a promotion manager like Warnock.

So Warnock definitely doesn't have much of a good impression of Wansheng, and now that the two teams have become opponents on the field, there is no good feeling at all.

But even if he doesn't have a good feeling, Warnock must admit Wansheng's ability.

Manchester City was not originally the top team in the Premier League, but won the league championship last season, and many media are not optimistic about Manchester City this season, but now this Manchester City on the field, Warnock has no way at all, and even after Manchester City completed the first goal, Sheffield United still has no power to fight back.

That's the difference between the two teams!

At this time, Warnock was standing on the sidelines watching the game, and at the beginning, he also communicated frequently with his assistant Jones next to him, but now it is almost rare, because both men know that their team will not have many chances, in the face of Manchester City's constant dazzling passing and receiving combinations, and seemingly 'porous' but 'exceptionally solid' defence, all their team can do is increase the backfield defense and use sudden counter-attacks to find opportunities.

This style of play is the only option as they cannot compete with Manchester City.

Warnock can know very well that there are too many gaps between the two teams in the individual ability of the players, the overall cooperation, and the tactical arrangement, the first two are good to say, the last point is the most uncomfortable for him, he is almost 60 years old, he has been a football coach for a lifetime, he has just been able to lead the team to play in the Premier League, and the Chinese young man who is less than 30 years old and has no professional player experience has surpassed himself in many aspects of coaching.

Warnock couldn't do anything but stand with a wry smile

As a manager, there is nothing to do, and the performance of the Sheffield United players on the field can be imagined.

In fact, the Sheffield United players still had some confidence at the beginning of the game, but although the opposite Manchester City was also in average form, there were many chances not to score, but they didn't even have a chance!

The offense failed again and again, and the defense was leaky again and again. After a long time, the team's fighting spirit was exhausted, and when most of the players thought that the team had no chance to win, the team's form and performance were greatly affected, and as a result, Manchester City scored again in the 38th minute of the game.

It was a header from Nicolas Anelka.

Downing's big-footed pass down the flank gave the Frenchman a chance, and Anelka sent the ball straight into the corner.

Seeing this ball, Wan Shengchang exhaled.

2:0。

After taking a two-goal lead, there will be basically no suspense in the game.

After that, both teams spent the first half. In the second half, Wansheng began to make frequent substitutions, David Silva, Bergkamp and Dunn were replaced one after another, and other players in the same position had the opportunity to play, and the impact of replacing the three main players on a team was still very large, but despite this, Sheffield United without the slightest fighting spirit could not shake Manchester City's defense.

The final match ended 2:0.

For the process of the game, Wan Sheng was a little dissatisfied, because the team did not play in form, but the victory was the most important, so the consequences of the game. He gave smiles to the players, the media and the fans, but after retraining the next day, Wansheng became more demanding on the players' recovery and physical recovery, adding difficulty to the training and requiring each player to complete their own training tasks.

At the same time, a handful of players who behaved 'strange' on the playing field were also called into the office by Wan Sheng to chat alone, including George Barton and Copelle Ferreira

"Do you think you're already a big star?"

In the office, Wan Sheng didn't give Joey Barton any good looks. Although Joey Barton is a talented star in Manchester City's academy, in the past game, Joey Barton didn't even bother to run, from the beginning to the end of the game. didn't have any decent performance, and Wan Sheng still expected him to replace Morris, but it seems that he can behave normally.

Last season. Joey Barton's performance is okay, although he has a reputation as a 'bad boy', but it seems to have been used against opponents.

So far this season. Joey Barton didn't have a very good performance, which is actually a little wrong, in terms of strength, Joey Barton has improved a little, and he is also very adaptable to the team's tactics, and there is no problem with his body, so how can he continue to perform badly?

After the match against Sheffield United, Wan Sheng had to call him in to talk.

Unexpectedly, when Joey Barton heard Wan Sheng's words, he was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "I want to have more playing time." ”

"Playing time?" Wan Sheng didn't react for a while, and then looked at it contemplatively.

Joey Barton was stubborn.

Wan Sheng understood what he meant.

Before Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City, Joey Barton was the absolute main force in Manchester City's midfield, but after Wan Sheng arrived, he brought Morris, David Silva and Ivan Crewe, plus Ozil and others who arrived in the summer, and Joey Barton's playing time was compressed.

Although he is still called 'Manchester City's genius' by fans, in reality, he can only be a substitute for Morris, a substitute in midfield, and his playing time cannot be compared to Morris and David Silva, and he will only have the opportunity to start when he uses special tactics or needs a midfielder.

So far this season, Joey Barton has only played around 400 minutes, a little over four games, which certainly won't please the 'former Manchester City talent'.

But there is no way to take half a step back!

Wan Sheng understood Joey Barton's feelings, and he comforted, "Joey, you should know that my team is fair, whoever performs better and is in better shape will start!" ”

"Compared with David, Li and others, you are not bad at all, you are tougher on the field, as long as you perform well enough, I will give more time!"

It's a promise, and that's what Wansheng really thinks.

But Joey Barton pursed his lips and said forcefully, "But they always start, and I can only be a substitute, I want to have more time to play, so I can have a chance to be in McLaren's team."

Wan Sheng frowned.

No one in the team dared to talk to him like this, even if it was a 'former Manchester City genius', it was related to his authority as a manager, he stood up and looked at Joey Barton, staring at Barton's eyes fiercely, he is usually very authoritative in the team, Barton was a little scared, and he lowered his head unconsciously, he clenched his fists and said, "I have already said, my team is like this, if you perform well, there will be more opportunities, if it is always the same as the last game, don't think about it for a minute in the future!" ”

Joey Barton gritted his teeth and turned away without saying hello.

Behind him, Wan Sheng touched his head

After Joey Barton, there is also Kopelle Ferreira, whose problems are different from Barton, who is not proactive on the field, and Ferreira is too proactive!

In the last game, Ferreira defended at the back and directly knocked down the opposing player, if it wasn't for the referee's mercy, Ferreira would have been sent off with a red card, despite this, he still accumulated three yellow cards, resulting in the next round of the league not being able to play.

The problem with Ferreira is that he seems to be a little out of control, always looking too aggressive in the game, and a little too tough defensively, although the central defenders are inevitably carded, but in the general game too tough, even irascible and a little wrong.

Wan Sheng hopes that Ferreira will correct this shortcoming.

In a football game, it is actually good to be tough defensively, but in any case, the emotions must be controlled, otherwise it is easy for the whole team to suffer.

The conversation with Copelle Ferreira was much more relaxed and pleasant than that of Joey Barton.

Ferreira has no problem with playing time, he is quite satisfied with the current situation, the club has raised his salary in the summer, although the salary cannot be compared with the big stars, but the annual salary after tax is more than one million euros, which is enough to make him satisfied enough to not even play in the top league before, not to mention, Wan Sheng is very majestic in the team, and he can be regarded as Ferreira's mentor, what he said, Ferreira nodded in agreement, whether Ferreira remembered it or not, whether he would correct his mistakes, it is not certain, but this attitude still makes Wan Sheng feel very satisfied.

After solving the team's problems, Manchester City began to prepare for the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid in earnest.

This game is in the spotlight.

Two days before the start of the game, a large number of media reporters began to do interviews around the Manchester City training base, many of them are English media, and a large part of them are from foreign media, Spanish media account for some of them, and there are also quite a lot of media from other countries, which shows the degree of attention to the game.

It's good that the game is getting attention, but Wan Sheng asked the whole team to ignore the reporters and concentrate on the state recovery training, in order to adjust the state to the end before the game, and he himself ignored the reporters at all, and planned not to give any interviews before the game.

An unexpected piece of news made Wan Sheng change his mind.

It was news from the American magazine "Science", because his research on "human movement and physical function recovery" has received wide attention and praise from the scientific community, and the American magazine "Science" nominated him as one of the "Top Ten Outstanding Scientists in the World" in 2006
