Chapter 246: Wishful Thinking!

Over the next few days, City added a number of small-scale tactical training sessions to their training.

This kind of training can make the team more proficient, and more similar combinations will be very effective in the game, and it is also a way for the newcomers in the team to better understand the team's cooperation.

Every afternoon, an intra-team training match will be arranged, which is also to let the new players better understand the team's tactical operation and better adapt to the rhythm of the team's tactical transformation in the game.

The latter is the most critical.

In fact, Manchester City's tactics as a whole are more passes than other teams, and the speed of attack is faster, but the change of rhythm is the key point, from slow to fast, from fast to slow, this change of rhythm will make the opponent unable to adapt at the same time, the team's newcomers are also difficult to adapt, if you want to play the power of tactics, the first thing is to adapt to your own players, and the most difficult part for new players to adapt to is this.

David Beckham has that problem.

Neither for Manchester United nor Real Madrid, he didn't play a Manchester City-like game, so he couldn't adapt to the change of pace for a while, and when the team picked up the pace, he would often slow down by half a beat, and when the team slowed down and started to fall back constantly, he would be faster, which was evident in Manchester City as a whole.

However, Wan Sheng is very confident that David Beckham will adapt to tactics, Bergkamp, Ozil, Downing and others have had the same problem before, they all took a week or two to gradually adapt to it, Beckham still has an advantage in comparison, his personal ability is not low, and his outstanding personal ability is enough to make him adapt faster.

The effect of the "Synergy" skill is also a key point, 'When your team is training tactically, the training effect is increased by 200%', which is enough to make players adapt faster. According to Wan Sheng's estimates, Beckham will be able to play with the team in a week at most.

The situation is even better than expected.

After three days of training, Beckham's daily goals were visible to the naked eye, and by the third day, he was able to play training without any problems of keeping up with the pace.

Wansheng is very satisfied with this.

He is so optimistic about Beckham, in fact, it is not only because of Beckham's fame, strength and other reasons, but also because Beckham does not have the problem of 'not adapting to the Premier League', like last summer. Chelsea introduced the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Andrei Shepchenko, the Ukrainian has been playing in Serie A for a long time, and he is very uncomfortable with the confrontation and speed of the Premier League, so when it comes to the game, it is difficult to play anything, Mourinho has given Shepchenko a chance again and again, but he still has no surprising performance, this is the problem of adapting to the Premier League.

Beckham has no similar problem, one could almost say. As long as he can play with the team, he will definitely be able to do well.

Where to find such players?

The arrival of David Beckham just made up for the team's midfield personnel problem, and the team's midfielder is the most critical in the third line. Beckham's performance will be crucial for the second half of the team's league and cup competitions, the only pity is that he has already represented Real Madrid in the Champions League, according to UEFA rules. He will no longer be able to play for Manchester City in the Champions League.

――――

David Beckham didn't care if he could participate in the Champions League, Real Madrid was eliminated in the group stage, and staying in Real Madrid could not participate in the Champions League at all.

He chose to come to Manchester City. In fact, I am still uncertain.

There are several aspects that moved him to choose Manchester City, one is Wansheng's sincerity, one is that he hopes to return to the Premier League, and then Manchester City's results are quite good, and he can compete with Manchester United for the league title, in addition, there is an important reason, as Wansheng said, he hopes to come to the Premier League to prove himself, so that everyone knows that his strength and state are no problem at all.

There is still a little bit in his heart that he doesn't want to admit it, he just wants to make his former mentor Ferguson regret rejecting him!

So here comes David Beckham.

Beckham has been fully committed to training since arriving at Manchester City and knows that the most important thing he needs to do at the moment is to adapt to the team's tactics.

He didn't think it was that difficult.

He's 31 years old, he's been through the big clubs Manchester United and Real Madrid, is there any team he can't adapt to?

He even thinks that he doesn't need to adapt to tactics at all, and he can just play.

But David Beckham soon found out that he was wrong, because Manchester City's tactics were extremely complex, much more complex than at Manchester United and Real Madrid, and he was also very interested in this set of tactics, and after learning about it, he felt the complexity of the tactics even more.

Beckham feels that just 'learning' tactics is a challenge to himself!

He had some understanding of why Manchester City had been able to play so well in recent years, and why the young Chinese coach had been so successful...... To be able to come up with such a complex tactic is a 'master tactician' in itself, not to mention that he has adapted the whole Manchester City team and played very well.

So Beckham threw himself into tactical training.

He worked hard, very hard.

Coming to the training ground half an hour early every day was unbelievable for him before, because he wanted to spend more time with his wife and children in the morning, but now he has done it.

Within a few days, he also felt his improvement.

Not to mention how skillful he is in tactics or how well he works with his teammates, but at least he believes that he can play normally with the team.

Beckham is still a little dissatisfied.

He feels he needs to be more comfortable in order to perform better in the game, and he can't wait for his first league game for Manchester City.

――――

The game is coming soon.

On January 13, the 23rd round of the Premier League is about to start, and Manchester City challenges Bolton Wanderers away.

In the last leg, Manchester City beat Bolton Wanderers 1-0 at home, and it was a tightly contested game with five yellow cards throughout the game, before Manchester City won the game thanks to Nicolas Anelka's second-half goal.

Looking back now, you will know that Manchester City played hard.

It can be regarded as a success for Bolton to make it so difficult for the top of the league to play at home, so Bolton coach Sam Allardyce is very confident in the upcoming 23 rounds, and he believes that Manchester City can play so the road, so back at home, the team will definitely have more hope.

"We have the ability to get at least one point in the game!" Allardyce said in his pre-match declaration.

It's a bit provocative, but Bolton and Manchester City are rivals, and even if Allardyce and Wansheng have a good personal relationship, it has nothing to do with work.

Sam Allardyce showed confidence in front of the media, and everyone knows that confidence comes from the first leg, "The last time we lost at the Manchester Stadium, it was just a little bit of our luck, I have found a way to deal with them, so I and my players believe that we can get at least a point in this game and we want to win and end their winning streak and unbeaten streak!" ”

The winning streak refers to Manchester City's seven-game winning streak!

Unbeaten means that Manchester City have been unbeaten in the league since the beginning of the season!

Sam Allardyce's confidence infected the Bolton media, who analysed both teams before the game and finally concluded, "There is a good chance of Bolton winning this game!" ”

'Manchester City have been solid and have won seven in a row in the league, which is surprising. But after Christmas, they have had problems with their personnel, injuries and suspensions, which have had a big impact on Manchester City, and the quality of their bench is not far from the main squad. ”

'Bolton are at home, last time Manchester City had a full squad and played hard at Manchester Stadium, this time, it's Bolton's chance!'

After Allardyce made his statement, the problem was in front of Wan Sheng.

In the face of the media interview, Wan Sheng had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was harmless to humans and animals, and then when he was about to speak, his face suddenly became serious, and he only said a few words-

"Wishful thinking!"

After angrily scolding Bolton coach Sam Allardyce, Wan Sheng didn't say anything, but this sentence alone was enough to ignite the anger of Allardyce and the Bolton media.

Wish for the moon?

Is it wishful thinking for Bolton to pick up a point at home?

That's too arrogant, isn't it?

Even if Manchester City is the top team in the Premier League, even if Manchester City has won seven consecutive games before, this game is strong against Bolton Wanderers no matter how you look at it, and Manchester City is playing away again, how can he say such things in such a big tone?

Is this hubris, or is it self-confidence?

The Bolton media couldn't figure it out, they couldn't think of a reason for Wansheng's confidence, so they unanimously came to the 'arrogant' conclusion!

After learning what Wan Sheng said, Bolton coach Allardyce was also a little angry, he and Wan Sheng are opponents, it is obvious that this Chinese does not have a little basic respect for the opponent, so he said seriously, "We all already know how to deal with Manchester City!" ”

"My players are all good, the team is doing well, the form is good, the last leg at the Manchester stadium we were just a little bit unlucky, after the game the whole team was very unconvinced, because we didn't lose in quality and performance, now back at home, we all want to win!"

"It's going to be a very crucial game, as long as we can win, we have the confidence to hit the top four, so the whole team is very serious and we believe we can beat all opponents!"

Soon the question returned to Wan Sheng, at this time he had already led the team to Reebok Stadium, after listening to the reporter relay Allardyce's words, Wan Sheng just smiled, and then left a sentence, "He is so confident?" Let's watch it in the game! (To be continued.) )
