The next day, Wansheng's words in an interview after the UEFA Champions League group draw ceremony appeared in media reports.

Much of the media talk about Wan Sheng and Jose Mourinho 'joining hands' to attack UEFA's points system has become something that has become something that the media and fans who are used to seeing the two face off in the English league have become a topic of conversation.

However, there is one media outlet that focuses on Wansheng, and that is the Daily Mirror.

The Daily Mirror has long been the leader of the 'anti-winning coalition' in England, and they have also become a benchmark for those media who are hostile to Manchester City and Wansheng, such as the media that support Manchester United, because everyone knows that the Daily Mirror and Wansheng are mortal enemies, and they will not report the good news of Wansheng or Manchester City.

But it must be recognized that the Daily Mirror is a tabloid newspaper with a circulation second only to The Sun, and is very influential in England and Europe.

If the "Daily Mirror" commented on Wansheng in England, few people would read it, because there are too many such reports, and readers are tired of reading them, but they are reporting on Wansheng's interview after the Champions League grouping, and the scope is not only England, but the whole of Europe, and their purpose is to put Wansheng on the European stage and let him fight against the whole of Europe.

That means as if to say, "Look at this Chinese kid, he arrogantly doesn't take other countries' teams seriously, and he is already embattled in Europe!" ”

This is naturally the result of the concerted efforts of many media outlets.

Their purpose is to let Wan Sheng go to fight with other European powerhouses, this approach is really useful, and soon Wan Sheng talked about Inter Milan made a voice, head coach Roberto Mancini was dissatisfied with Wan Sheng's statement of 'Inter Milan third in the league', so he said, "He is only leading the team to participate in the Champions League for the first time, what qualifications do you have to point fingers at the Champions League classification!" If he is not happy with Manchester City being placed in Pot 3, he can lead the team to a good result. For example, if you win the Champions League, then Manchester City will definitely not be in the third tier next year! "You can hear it, and in the end it would be disdainful to say that Manchester City won the title.

Later, Capello, who had just taken over as Real Madrid coach, also joined in the excitement and said, "I must admit that we have drawn a good draw." Everybody says it's a death group, but I don't think so. Manchester City and Levski Sofia don't have much European experience, so it's an easy group for us. ”

Capello's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to show that Manchester City and Sofia Levski are easy opponents to deal with, and qualifying from the group is not too much of a problem for Real Madrid.

Fans and media who don't know the details. It will be a surprise to hear Capello say this, because Manchester City have no European experience, but they are definitely an opponent to be underestimated, after all, Manchester City won the Premier League last season and won the Carabao Cup, such a team is a huge threat even if it has no European experience, everyone must admit it. So why did Capello say that? Is it a deliberate attempt to provoke Manchester City?

But the media and fans who know the details know that Capello is boosting morale.

This summer, Real Madrid completed a major blood change, and the biggest news is. The 55-year-old Ramón Calderón was elected as the new president of Real Madrid under the slogan of promising to bring in a new generation of superstars such as Kaka, Robben and Cesc Fabregas.

Perhaps at other clubs, fans are most concerned about the new manager, but Real Madrid is not. The club has always had a president at its core, and the battle for the presidency of Florentino and Calderón was nothing short of an epic affair, no less than the presidential campaign of some small countries. The competition between the two always has something to talk about, and they use their own means in the election, it is not easy to become the president of Real Madrid, Calderon promised the results, and brought confidants such as Cannavaro and Emerson, and invited the "gold medal coach" Capello back to Real Madrid again, so as to sit firmly in the chairman's position, in addition, after Calderon took office, he also bought Van Nistelrooy, Diarra and other powerful stars for Real Madrid.

After this wave of changes, Real Madrid is no longer the gorgeous and weak team last season, but if you really want to say how much strength there is, Capello's task is to combine this large group of new stars with Ronaldo, Beckham and other stars in the team, and this job is almost certainly the focus of his coaching of Real Madrid.

If these stars can come together and become a team that works together, then Real Madrid will definitely become one of the strongest teams in the world, because there is no team in the world more gorgeous than their squad, and vice versa, Real Madrid will not improve much from last season.

Now Capello has come out and talked about the Champions League grouping, and said that there is nothing wrong with it, it is completely morale-boosting, he is expressing a confidence, an attitude towards the new season.

But obviously, Capello is not clear, the current European football is no longer the era of famous coaches opening their mouths, and the speeches of various managers in the media are also an art, and it is better to be low-key without this kind of artistic cells.

After knowing what Capello said from the reporter's mouth, Wan Sheng smiled without hesitation, "Oh? What does Mr. Capello mean that Bayern Munich cannot threaten Real Madrid? But I don't think Mr. Felix Magath sees it that way. ”

This trick is called Misfortune East.

Bayern Munich coach Felix Magath experienced the feeling of being shot while lying down, and when he heard the news, he was still confused, just knowing that Real Madrid coach Capello talked about the group grouping, and then Manchester City's young coach mentioned himself, seemingly refuting Capello's opinion, that Bayern Munich is no worse than Real Madrid?

Felix Magath didn't fully understand it and said with confidence, "I think Bayern Munich are the strongest in Group G!" ”

Maybe every team's manager would say this, but when Magath said this, he found that the reporters looked at it a little strangely, and he didn't understand why, so he talked about Bayern Munich's preparation for the Champions League, and said that the team's goal was only to win the championship.

Magath said a lot of things, but it has nothing to do with the topic that Capello and Wan Sheng talked about, and some reporters originally hoped that Magath would satirize Wan Sheng, but when they got this result, they could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Wait until Magath knows the cause and effect specifically. It was too late to say anything, and he knew that if he did that, it would definitely become a bigger joke, so he hated Capello and Wan Sheng.

If you really want to talk about it, there are few football coaches who have a very good relationship, because they can easily become opponents on the field, and the same is true between Magath and Capello, the relationship between the two is not good, and this time they are grouped together. There is another war of words in the media, and the relationship naturally becomes worse, as for Wan Sheng, Magath was dragged into the water this time and lost face in front of the media, isn't it caused by him?

Wan Sheng didn't know Magat's thoughts, he just felt funny when he heard Magat's words, he was going to fight in the media, but he didn't expect this to be the result. Suddenly he had a feeling of 'being invincible in the heights', and it seemed interesting to be an opponent with Magath and Capello, but not as opposed to Mourinho alone.

These so-called famous marshals are really a bit boring, they are probably outdated, right?

Wan Sheng thought so.

But the saliva in the media is nothing. The real winner or loser has to be decided on the field, and when he gets there, Wan Sheng will not be taken lightly, he must make the team ready for everything. to be able to defeat Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and other giants of the century on the field.

The group stage of this season's Champions League is definitely a challenge for Manchester City

After the international break, teams face the league again. The next opponent is the promoted Mareddin.

Wan Sheng is no stranger to the Reading team, when he led Derby County to play in the second division, the Reading team is a strong opponent, Manchester City also met in the cup last season, coach Koper and Wan Sheng are also old acquaintances, but no one would have thought that the Reading team led by Koper played amazing results last season, 31 wins, 13 draws and 2 losses, and the total score of 106 points is only the record of Derby County's promotion to overtime, under the leadership of Koper, Reading Club after 135 years of ups and downs, Finally on the big stage of the English top flight for the first time.

This is exciting news for Reading fans, who can't be overstated in 135 years of hard work and the team is on top flight for the first time.

Of course, that has nothing to do with Manchester City, who are now direct league rivals.

There is still a lot of work to be done before the game against Reading, after the international break, some players have been in poor form, Wansheng can clearly know this problem from the data of the football training master system, in addition, the performance of some players in training can also see the problem.

This is known as the "International Break Day Syndrome".

In the past, this problem mostly occurred on Wansheng's opponents, such as Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, etc., these teams had more national team players, but now the problem is in Manchester City, because Manchester City also has a lot of international team players, such as Morris, James, Anelka, and then Sun Jihai, Wang Xiaolei, Ziegler, etc., they have all entered their respective national teams.

After one match with the national team, some of them were out of form.

In response to this situation, Wan Sheng can only let them do some physical and mental adjustments, but if they want to recover, it will definitely take a few days, but the game against Reading is close at hand.

In the end, Wan Sheng still chose to let those players who are not in good form rest for a round and let the players who are in good form play.

In fact, there is another reason why Wansheng did this, that is, the first game of the Champions League is approaching, and two days after the game against Reading, it will be the first round of the match with Sofia Levski.

It was Manchester City's first Champions League game in a century

Even if we don't talk about the importance of its 'historical significance', in the Champions League group stage, we must win against the underdog Sofia Levski, otherwise it will not be so easy to get points against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, so Wan Sheng must reserve his strength for this game.

But he didn't expect the game against Reading to be so tough.

As a promoted team, Reading has performed very well in the past, their defense is very resolute, and the style of play that only comes and goes up front has also posed a lot of threat to Manchester City.

Such a team that seems to have no technical skills, but it feels quite difficult to play, Wan Sheng was surprised by the performance of the Reading team, in his opinion, the team's performance is actually not very bad, the cooperation is played, the suppression is played, but the effect on the Reading team is not so good, and the occasional mistakes in defense are easy to give the Reading team a chance.

In this way, it was Reading who scored first.

In the 31st minute of the game, taking advantage of a corner kick opportunity, Reading's South Korean striker Xue Qixuan successfully scored with an overhead to help Reading take the lead.

The situation was unexpected.

City then kept the Redding side under pressure for a long time in the second half, but it was only before the end of the game that Darren Bent equalised with a powerful shot in the chaos of the box.

The match ended 1:1.

A draw would have been a defeat for Manchester City, as United beat Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in the other game at the same time to make it four wins in a row in the opening league season, leaving them two points clear of Manchester United.

After the game, Wan Sheng and Koper shook hands politely, and then thought about the game along the way.

He knew he and the team were careless.

Reading are a promoted team, but they were not underdogs when they picked up more than 100 points in the Championship last season, and in this game, their defensive performance was very tough, and their simple and direct football also brought a lot of threat to Manchester City.

Such a simple, direct style of play can sometimes play a very good role.

Wan Sheng must admit that he learned his lesson from this game.

This may have something to do with the fact that he is too young.

Just like those media said, he is still too young, too little experience, inexperienced, and not enough accumulation, he always thought that Manchester City's tactics were the best, but now Koper used very simple and direct football, and he and Manchester City suffered a big loss.

He will remember this lesson.

Later, at the press conference, Wan Sheng also directly said, "This is a lesson for us, we were a little careless, in addition, the Reading team performed very well today, they deserve to take away a point!" ”

Wan Sheng's speech surprised many media reporters.

In everyone's impression, this young Chinese has never accepted defeat, facing Manchester United, Liverpool and other giants, he will show very strong, even if the game is not smooth, he will find other reasons for the team to 'explain' that losing the game is not the team's reason.

Now he actually took the initiative to recognize the other party's performance?

This came as a big surprise to many.

But in fact, Wansheng has always believed that facts are facts, the Reading team is indeed very good, a league win or loss is nothing, and no team can guarantee that there will be no mistakes in 38 league games in a season, not to mention, the team has been affected by the international break in the past two days, and it is not surprising that many main players did not play, and the opponent drawn.

The draw taught Wan Sheng and the team a lesson, but it didn't take it to heart, and after the game, he was already thinking about the Champions League group stage against Sofia Levski. (To be continued.) )
