Manchester City and Chelsea are in fierce competition for the top spot and every point is immensely important for both teams.

Originally, Manchester City's draw with Bolton Wanderers was an opportunity for Chelsea, but Chelsea also drew with Charlton in the end, and the difference between the two teams remained at four points.

In this case, hearing Wan Sheng's words, Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho felt very unhappy.

In fact, both teams did not perform well, but there was a sequence of the game, if it was Chelsea who finished first, Mourinho would have been the comfortable one, because it was Manchester City who had a chance, and they didn't take the chance, it was just Manchester City who finished the game first, so the good mood is Wanwin.

A draw would have been depressing, but the rivals were also drawn, and the mood was much brighter.

Mourinho's mood is naturally diametrically opposite, he was very unhappy not to take the opportunity, and he was ridiculed by Wan Sheng, he couldn't help but retort, "Their performance is not better than ours!" Maybe he should have focused more on his team than on our game. "He made a point of emphasizing the word 'attention' to imply that Wan Sheng seemed to have become their fans and cared so much about their game.

But what Mourinho said was not taken to heart by Wan Sheng at all.

The direct rivals of the two teams, in other words, Mourinho will definitely taunt Manchester City a few words, which is almost inevitable, competitors are equal to mortal enemies, and it is certainly worth rejoicing to see that mortal enemies have poor results.

Next, Wan Sheng threw himself on the team again.

At present, Manchester City still has a lot of problems, the biggest problem is still injuries, Anelka, David Silva and others are still recovering from injuries, plus some other minor injuries, the team even came up with a starting line-up has become a problem.

The second is the form of the team, and the draw with Bolton Wanderers is no accident, because the team's form is not good in the first place, due to the intensive schedule. A lot of players can't get their best form.

In addition, it is the pressure from all sides that affects the team's form.

Now Manchester City are top of the league, they are top of the Premier League, they have a lot of pressure to face, every league game is pressure, every cup game is not small, and there is too much media and fans to follow them, which brings pressure from the outside.

The pressure is put on the whole team, it makes every player feel the pressure, and even the atmosphere of the team's daily training is affected.

Wansheng sensed the situation. But he didn't have a good solution, and the only thing he could rely on was the team's new psychiatrist, Ms Dina McGovern, who had taken over a week earlier, and who had a double master's degree in psychology and medicine from Cambridge University, and although she was only thirty-one years old, she had five years of experience and was still very trustworthy.

"Hope it helps." This was the first thing Ms. McGovern said to Wan Sheng when she came to work at Manchester City Club, so Wan Sheng still has a very good impression of her. He really hopes that the lady can solve the team's current problems.

Although he has a crush on the new lady, Wan Sheng doesn't want to touch her, and it was during the first conversation, and Ms. McGovern doesn't seem to be good at interpersonal interactions. She always likes to analyze people's temperament and psychological problems.

'You're worried about the team, you're worried about everybody, you're strong on the outside, that's because you're not confident. Yes, you certainly don't have much confidence deep down, so you have to convince yourself with a tough attitude."

McGovern's words were like a curse. Let Wan Sheng fall into thinking, he thought of the failure in his previous life, when it was difficult for him to succeed in anything, and then he lost his self-confidence, and he could only do what he didn't like because of life, and he could only live at the bottom of society.

It's completely different now, he's very successful in the football coaching industry, it's a profession he loves, and he also has the 'Football Training Master' system to help.

He has achieved success one by one, and he has also shown a very strong external appearance, so is this strength due to his own lack of self-confidence? Convince yourself with force?

The more Wan Sheng thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at McGovern with a wry smile.

This woman is really hard to touch!

On 26 February, Manchester City have another very important game, the second leg of the Carabao Cup against Wigan Athletic.

In the first leg, Manchester City won 3:0, so the team is basically no pressure in this round, if with a score of 3:0, they will be eliminated by Wigan Athletic, then they are really blessed by God.

In the end, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 and reached the League Cup final with an aggregate score of 4-0, getting a ticket to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

With the team's game over, Wan Sheng began to pay attention to the next day's game between Manchester United and Blackburn, where their clash at Old Trafford would determine City's opponents at the Millennium Stadium.

As the manager of Manchester City, Wan Sheng certainly wants his opponents to be weaker, although the media and fans are looking forward to the Manchester derby at Millennium Stadium, but there is no difference between the trophy he and Manchester City are pursuing, the trophy that is easier to obtain and the trophy that is difficult to obtain, so they naturally do not want to meet strong opponents.

Manchester United and Blackburn, Manchester United naturally belong to the strong team, so Wansheng still hopes that Blackburn can win.

It's a pity that the game at Old Trafford was not transferred by his will, and in the end, Manchester United beat Blackburn Rovers 2:1 at home and advanced to the final with a two-legged aggregate score of 3-2.

The clash at the Millennium Stadium is now decided, where Manchester City and Manchester United will play a cross-border Manchester derby!

After the game between both teams, there was not much media coverage of the match that had already been confirmed, but it was more concerned about what happened during the game between United and Blackburn, because it was far more appealing than the win.

When referee Bol blew the whistle for the end of the first half, the players rushed into the tunnel to return to the lounge.

That's when something strange happened.

The players at the back were all running into the tunnel, followed by the substitutes and coaches from both sides, as well as some staff and match officials, and there seemed to be no fans in the Old Trafford stands who wanted to leave their seats to buy drinks and rest at this time, and the clamor of the fans was getting louder and louder.

What's going on?

Sky TV broadcasts the game live, and usually after half-time, the camera switches to the advertisement after the player who scored the goal, but when the players rush into the lounge, the camera switches to a camera at the entrance of the tunnel. Just as the camera was about to follow into the passage, Van der Sar, who had just run back from the other side of the pitch, pulled the camera lens away, which made both clubs owe the FA to thank the 'eventful' Dutchman when the FA lacked sufficient evidence.

After investigation by the media, it turned out that the cause of the incident was that Ferdinand caught up behind Savage and deliberately knocked him down during the player's exit, and then there was a chaotic scene that followed, and the players who came from behind may not understand what the cause was and participated in the scuffle in a vague way. The atmosphere was so enthusiastic that even the caddies on the side excitedly threw the ball into the tunnel.

In fact, the outbreak between the two sides was not accidental, in the first round, Rooney, Alan Smith and Savage staged a scene of martial arts, Savic was tackled by Smith in the match, and then held Rooney as he got up but was beaten with an old punch.

Why bring the feud of two weeks ago to Old Trafford? In the 27th minute of the game, substitute Smith kicked Savage again with a standard "red card" flying tackle, and referee Bol hurriedly pulled Smith away and pulled out a yellow card at the same time. Blackburn Rovers stopped reasoning when they saw that the referee had made a decision.

Two oversized moves by Ruud van Nistelroy also sparked controversy, one after Reid kicked the ball in midfield. Vanney came up from behind the side to try to make a tackle, Reed's support leg was hit and then fell backwards, if it wasn't for the fact that there was still some distance after the fall, Reed's knee-jerk kick would have been likely to kick Vanney.

And that's not all. In first-half stoppage time, Savage was close to the corner flag at the back to control the ball, and Vanney came up to reach out and push, and Savage staggered to the ground. Vanney pushed too hard and lost his center of gravity and fell, but in the process of falling, his left knee knee hit the back of Savage's head.

At this point, Bol stepped forward and only awarded a foul to the Dutchman. Covering the back of his head, Savage had to accept the boos of the fans in the stands.

Although Bol then reached out to Rasavich to get up, the latter viciously shook his hand and refused. It was evident that he was unhappy that he had not received more penalties for this annoying foul.

Two minutes later, the first half was over.

Savic was then provoked in the tunnel and chaos ensued with chaos in the tunnel, and it was clear that United would pay the price, but it was unclear what kind of fine the FA Disciplinary Committee would give them.

This kind of news has always been popular in the media, although Manchester United supporters are worried about the FA's punishment and the situation of the team, but more people are watching the excitement, such as Manchester City, many players in training, also talked about the situation of Manchester United, the two teams are about to start the title battle at the Millennium Stadium, the opponent's bad situation naturally becomes good news.

Of course, the important thing is that the final matchup has been decided, and both teams have to prepare for the big game.

Before then, though, City have a few games to play, starting with a league clash with Newcastle United in early February.

The game was easier than expected.

Newcastle United were not easy opponents to play against, but they seemed to be in poor form and squandered chances throughout the game, resulting in a comfortable 2-0 win for Manchester City.

There is nothing to say about the result, in short, Manchester City won again, it was just a very ordinary league game, but after the game, Wan Sheng came to the press conference with a smile on his face, waved his arms, and said very powerfully, "This is a very important victory!" ”

'For us, it's even more meaningful than beating Arsenal, Liverpool and the like.'

If the average person hears this, it must be strange.

Is it more meaningful to beat a declining Newcastle United team than to win against Arsenal and Liverpool? Could it be that Newcastle United are back on the rise?

Of course not!

There were all well-informed reporters, and they naturally understood what the Chinese on stage were saying.

The key to this victory was not the game itself, but the other game that was played at the same time, and Manchester City's direct rivals, Chelsea, did not win this round, they drew away to Aston Villa, which means that after this round of league games, Manchester City have a six-point lead over Chelsea.

It's a difference that gives them a huge advantage! (To be continued......)
