96. First defeat (ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)
Wigan's head coach is still Martinez, who is also a young rookie coach who has emerged in the Premier League in recent years, and has been recognized by public opinion and media commentators.
Of course, it is not as loud as Rodgers and Wen Sheng, Rodgers is loud because he is known as Little Barcelona in Swansea's tactics, and Wen Sheng is always able to lead the team to win the championship because he is a championship coach.
Martinez is famous for his changeable tactics and is more suitable for relegation teams, which is why slightly stronger teams are still a little hesitant about him, just like Tottenham in the summer, the object of consideration is not Martinez at all.
With Wigan's current strength, the performance in the first ten rounds of this season is also good, and they have 14 points at present, if they can maintain this form, they will have a good chance of relegation this season.
But in the face of Manchester City, a team that is several levels higher than them, it is useless to put a bus at the door despite Martinez's wisdom, 0:3, Aguero, Aspas, and Milner each scored a goal.
Martinez did put the bus in this game, and he also knew that playing against Manchester City was looking for death, so he wanted to rely on defense, even if it was good to score a point on Manchester City, but their defense has really never been reliable, and they have conceded 23 goals in the previous thirteen rounds, do you still expect this game to suddenly appear?!
Wensheng didn't think Manchester City played well in this game, setting a new high for passing errors, Wigan was uncompetitive and failed to take advantage of those opportunities, and Martinez was a little conservative and didn't put too much effort into attack.
'We made too many mistakes! It's a bit unbelievable to me, and to win this game, we didn't rely on strength but luck! Wen Sheng was unceremoniously critical of the team's performance.
The game ended with Manchester City winning, which also made Wen Sheng win the best manager of the month in October, and the best player of the month was won by the city's rival Manchester United's Van Persie, who was too hot.
Wen Sheng remembered a joke in his previous life about Van Persie's transfer to Manchester United: "I originally went to Manchester United to win the championship on my thigh, but I didn't expect to go to Manchester United as a thigh!" ”。
At present, Manchester United can still follow Manchester City, which has a lot to do with Van Persie's ability to score, and Rooney, who has been favored this season, has not performed very well so far.
With Wigan at the end of December, Manchester City's next two rounds will not be easy, first of all, to deal with Everton, a team that has long been in the upper middle of the table, in the early years was a strong contender for the top four places, in the past two years with the improvement of the level of the Premier League teams, Everton's prospects for the fourth place are not so wonderful.
But this team has been brought for many years, the team is still quite combative, in general, they are a bit similar to "strong not strong and weak not weak", and Arsenal, Liverpool, etc. have not fallen significantly below, and when they meet weaker teams, they seem to play more difficult every time.
After the Everton game, Manchester City will host city rivals Manchester United at home.
There is not much difference in points between Manchester United and Manchester City, and the battle between the two will also be worth six points, and Manchester United have not been in trouble recently, and Wensheng is very jealous of them.
Similar to what Wen Sheng thought, Ferguson is also quite jealous of Manchester City, under the leadership of Wen Sheng, Manchester City created the best first fourteen rounds in history, winning 12 games, drawing two, and losing a single game, such a result is too rebellious.
The Champions League has been qualified, and now the media has turned Manchester City upside down, can this record be said to chase Arsenal's unbeaten season record?!
"I don't think we're going to be able to get to that level!" Wen Sheng poured cold water on everyone at the pre-match press conference against Everton, "I think that kind of record is hard to come by, we don't need to be obsessed with it, I hope everyone in the team can work hard to play every game!" ”
"People only remember who the first is, not the second, and it doesn't make sense if we're just going to be undefeated, the championship is what we're after!" Wen Sheng is now more direct in announcing Manchester City's goals.
Perhaps in order to confirm the accuracy of his prediction, Manchester City really lost the game against Everton on the afternoon of December 1, losing 0:1 to Everton and gaining the first defeat of the season, while Wen Sheng led Manchester City's unbeaten record in all competitions to an abrupt end in the 22nd game.
In the last game against Wigan, Wen Sheng felt that the team's form had declined to a certain extent, and in this game Manchester City actually performed a little better than the last game, but Everton's defense was not as bad as Wigan's, and the players' ability was much stronger, plus Manchester City's side has been very tired and injured recently, and it is normal for young players such as Wanyama and Dembele to play in succession.
"I am not a prophet! It's the Etihad Stadium and we deserve to be a little bit better and I can understand how tired the team is at the moment but I really don't want to make excuses for this defeat because I have a responsibility and the players have a responsibility! Congratulations to Everton, they played a good game! Wen Sheng hated that reporters thought he was predicting the outcome.
Captain Vincent Kompany agreed with Vincent in an interview, saying that the team was tired and unable to get into the groove.
This statement is not without reason, Manchester City's team has been reduced a lot in thickness compared to last season, Wensheng has always admired elite soldiers, and as a result, players such as Silva and Toure have been injured in a row, and one Richards is equal to nothing, and it is a miracle that three central defenders have played so far.
So the reporters also had to agree with this statement, and asked Wen Sheng if he was strengthening in the winter window, and the answer given by Wen Sheng was yes, "We will carry out some operations in the winter window, and I will not refuse if there is an opportunity to improve the team!" ”
He already has an initial idea that Richards is going to go out on loan and bring in two defenders, a centre-back and a defender on the right wing, and he is also looking to buy Raheem Sterling for Liverpool or Zaha for Crystal Palace.
Injuries are difficult to predict, the injuries of Silva and Toure have taught Wensheng a lesson, giving him a sense of crisis, he does advocate elite soldiers but by no means a small soldier, Sterling and Zaha can enrich the team's tactical play in the frontcourt, these two youngsters have similar characteristics, they are both amazingly fast, excellent dribbling, and there are really no existing personnel who can reach the level of the two of them, and Mane is really not to the level of them.
The first choice in the winger position is Zaha, Zaha was personally promoted by Wensheng, and he knows him well, he did not reach the height of Sterling in his previous life, but he is an acquaintance, and it is easier to adjust than Sterling.
