120. Emirates Stadium 1 (Ask for recommendation, ask for collection, ask for subscription)
On the morning of the 12th, Manchester City held a press conference against Arsenal at Carrington.
There are two major matches in the 22nd round of the league, one is Manchester United's home game against Liverpool, which is known as the double red club by fans, and the other is Manchester City's away game against Arsenal.
United are not far behind their city rivals, and if they can beat old rivals Liverpool at home and Arsenal can successfully hold off Manchester City at home, they can close the gap on Manchester City to within one win.
So against Arsenal, this game is really crucial for Manchester City.
Therefore, the off-topic of the reporters at this press conference is the Double Red Society.
'Of course I hope Liverpool can beat Manchester United away from home! There's nothing to shy away from that, I think the whole team thinks so! When the reporters asked Wen Sheng who he would prefer to win in the Double Red Club, Wen Sheng said bluntly, giving the reporter a straightforward feeling, and everyone thought that he was going to say that he didn't care about the games of other teams.
"But I don't think we really need to pay attention to others, the most important thing is that we have to be ourselves, as long as we can win every game, why care if the second place is won or lost?! Right?! The reporters thought about it, Wen Sheng turned his head and still had the same attitude, there was no need to care about others.
That's progress, right?! Conway sat in the audience and slandered, at least Wen Sheng will express his true opinion, everyone knows that Manchester City's concern for Manchester United is true.
Wen Sheng was full of confidence in this match at the press conference, "They have played one game less than us, they have an advantage in terms of fitness, I don't know if they will take advantage of it, but I don't need to worry about it, we are well prepared!" ”
'They're a team that is good at attacking, attacking very well, but defensively, I think we can take advantage of the holes that come their way!'
"Even if it's Arsenal, even if we don't look like it, I'm confident that at the Emirates Stadium we can win! Sometimes home advantage can be a good thing, but it can also be a bad thing! ”
The reason why the media thinks that Arsenal has a better chance of winning in the past two days is not only because Arsenal is at home, but also because Aguero is injured on Manchester City's side, and Toure is running to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, Aguero has scored 14 league goals for the team, and his scoring ability is super strong, he was injured in the League Cup, and he was injured for a week, and Arsenal did not have the opportunity to attend this game.
The media also belongs to the master of eating and not eating, Aguero was injured for nearly two months at the beginning of the season, and during that time, Manchester City relied on Dzeko to win consecutive games and establish a points advantage?! But now they have all forgotten.
Wen Sheng reminded everyone at the press conference, "We still have Edin, but also friends Didier and Jago, Edin is about to score 20 goals for the team this season, and I hope he can score more than 30 goals for the team this season!" I don't think what I'm saying now is pressure for him, it's motivation! I'm sure he can do it! ”
When everyone mentioned tactics, Wen Sheng naturally kept silent and said vaguely: "I haven't thought about what kind of tactics and strategies to adopt, 4231 or 442 or 433 in the formation, I think we have no problem, maybe I can give you the answer on the field!" ”
After Wensheng held a press conference, Wenger also held a press conference at the Kearney training base on the afternoon of the 12th, and Wensheng's press conference in the morning was slightly active, that is, he was not afraid of Arsenal and wanted to take all three points.
Arsene Wenger is unlikely to show weakness, even if he knows that in terms of overall strength, the gap between Arsenal and Manchester City is still relatively large.
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, Manchester City have cleared out some high-priced players in the summer of '12, but now there are also many valuable players in the Manchester City squad.
Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who moved to the team in the summer of '12, is now worth 58 million euros on the German transfer market website, in addition to Dzeko, Sergio Aguero, Silva, Toure, Kompany, Klich, Nasri, etc., Manchester City's squad is quite expensive.
Wenger's thinking has changed now, knowing the truth that you get what you pay for, for example, De Bruyne, although it cost Manchester City a full 50 million pounds, but it is worth it, Wenger knows that this kid and Cazorla, who he spent about 10 million pounds to introduce, are two grades at all, although the positions are different, but you will understand the gap between the two if you watch a few more games.
"Their last two games have been very good! Manchester City are also some of the strongest teams in the league as a whole and their current top position says it all, but I firmly believe that home will give us a difference! ”
The media always dug a hole for Wenger, and before this game, because of the absence of Silva and Aguero, the media added weight to the victory balance Arsenal, but Wenger didn't want to appreciate it at all, and said at the press conference, "I don't think we have too many advantages, this is destined to be a difficult game!" They have a couple of players who are unavailable and we have players who are not available for this game! ”
Speaking of Manchester City, we have to mention Nasri and Klich, two main Manchester City players, who were both former Arsenal players, and reporters then asked Wenger if he felt it was appropriate for the home fans to boo Nasri and Klich.
Wenger also dislikes these two fellows, hehe, and thinks they love money, so he said to reporters with a straight face: "I don't know if it's appropriate, but it's normal to have boos on the pitch!" I went to the Etihad and people booed me! ”
Both managers did not show weakness in their pre-match press conferences, as if they really wanted to fight on the pitch, and as for the tactical situation of the next day, that can only be said tomorrow.
After training on the afternoon of the 12th, Manchester City took the train to London.
After arriving in London, during dinner, Wen Sheng specifically found Chrissy and Nasri, and asked them with a smile if they were nervous?!
Both of them moved to Manchester City in 2011 and returned to the Emirates Stadium under Roberto Mancini, when the boos at the Emirates Stadium were not to mention, under this boo, Klich and Nasri's legs involuntarily weakened, Klich behaved decently, and Nasri behaved, hehe, like a piece of shit.
Scolding on the Internet, booing in the stadium, several players who have left Arsenal, such as Adebayo, Nasri, Klich and Arsenal fans, are becoming more and more opposed, and Nasri hates Arsenal fans deeply.
Hatred can blind the eyes and mind, and Nasri's mentality on the pitch is affected and he is eager for revenge, but he is not a figure like Messi and Ronaldo, and naturally he does not have the ability to personally rub salt on Arsenal fans.
