"It's a very crucial three! We're in the race for the title! ”

The next day, many media used Wan Sheng's speech as a headline to report Arsenal's home game against Manchester City, this game is still very concerned, the key is that Arsenal is a strong team in the championship ranks, they are also ranked third in the league after nine rounds, and Wan Sheng's Manchester City, the results are better, they are the second in the league, and the only team that has not been pulled too far by Chelsea.

The match between the two teams was very eye-catching, so there were a lot of people who paid attention to the result of the game the next day, and what Wan Sheng said in an interview also attracted a lot of attention.

In the eyes of the public, although Manchester City's results are good, they have no rich background, the depth of the bench is too shallow, and the main squad is too young and immature, even if the results are good for a while, it is difficult to hold on until the end of the season.

But this away win against Arsenal made everyone realize a 'terrible' fact, this Manchester City team has the ability to compete for the title!

Check it out, they all won at Highbury Field!

Ten rounds, nine wins and one draw, successive victories over Manchester United, Newcastle United, Derby County and Arsenal, these so-called 'potential title teams' have been defeated by Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United are still defeated at home, such Manchester City is really terrible.

"He said Man City deserved to be in contention!? I am not surprised at all, when the Chinese went to Manchester City, I knew that he wanted to win the championship, he is the same as me, he has a heart to fight for the championship, he will not be willing to be dull, I dare say this season, Manchester City will be our biggest and only competitor! "The next afternoon. Mourinho said in an interview ahead of the league between Chelsea and Everton.

That being said, the Portuguese didn't care much on his face, and his mind seemed to be more focused on the game he was about to face.

Journalists didn't delve into Mourinho's words, perhaps they had that in mind, but they were quickly overshadowed by the bigger news – David Morse's side drew with Chelsea at their own Goodson Park at a time when it was thought Everton would not be able to stop Chelsea!

Chelsea had won nine in a row and were very strong at the top of the league table, but the draw halted their momentum.

Previously. Everton, as the home team, is already on the verge of falling to the bottom of the league.

It was a battle for the top and bottom of the table, but in the end, Everton stopped Chelsea and Chelsea's dream of a perfect 10-game winning streak was ended by the Toffees, with the British news agency jokingly saying, "Chelsea came to Moseyside to talk about winning the title at Christmas and dominating football for 100 years, but Everton clearly disagreed. ”

Although Everton are at the bottom. But historically, they have a "habit" of ending the good momentum of others.

In 1969, they ended Leeds' 34-game unbeaten run.

In 1988, Liverpool's 29-game unbeaten run was also ended by them.

In 2002, Arsenal were on a 30-game unbeaten run before going 49 games, but were broken at Goodison Park.

Right now. Chelsea's dream of a 10-game winning streak fell to the Toffees.

Everton fought fiercely in the game, they used their bodies to make up for their lack of strength and technique, and in terms of game content, Everton played tenaciously. You can proudly leave the pitch with a draw, but in terms of details, there were also quite controversial waves in the 90 minutes. Jose Mourinho expressed his strong displeasure with the referee's decision after the game.

"We didn't win? We scored two goals and under normal circumstances, we won. 'Mourinho was referring to two goals, one was Frank Lampard's brilliant long-range effort that levelled the scores, and the other was Didier Drogba's subsequent one-on-one effort that was ruled offside.

Mourinho expressed his displeasure with the second goal in his own way: "I don't have to watch the video at all, the ball is clear (it's a good ball). ”

Maybe Mourinho's complaint is justified, it was a good goal indeed.

In the 62nd minute, Frank Lampard's clever through pass, Drogba shook off the entire defense to stand out, turned and slammed the ball into the goal, at this time the linesman raised the flag to signal offside, he captured Gudjanssen in an offside position, but the problem is that the Icelander is "leisurely" walking outside the box, not involved in the attack or interfering with the defense, and Drogba who scored the goal was not offside, from the rules speaking, it is a perfect good ball.

However, Mourinho ignored another second-half decision.

In the 83rd minute, Everton counterattacked, Bent shot hard from outside the penalty area, Terry spread his arms from the box and flew forward to intercept, the ball hit his left arm, the Everton player signaled that the ball was fouled for handball, and a penalty should be awarded, but referee Clattenburg signaled that the game continued.

Asked after the game if he deserved a penalty, Mourinho's answer was simple, 'no way'.

Despite his displeasure with the referee, Mourinho showed his respect for Everton. "Their fighting spirit is commendable, the problem is not where they are, the problem is the linesman."

With such a direct attack on the referee, Mourinho once again showed his bluntness, and Mourinho appeared to be angry, answering questions from Sky Sports reporters in a unique way after being held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.

When asked how he felt about the end of Chelsea's winning streak, Mourinho's answer was stunned and left with a curious Q&A.

Jose Mourinho: "Didn't we win? We didn't win? The Portuguese asked the reporter rhetorically.

"Yes, the final score was 1-1, don't you know?"

'I don't know, I thought it was 2-1 and we controlled the game and scored two wonderful goals. Under normal circumstances, it was a win, so it was a little difficult for me to answer your words, for me we won. ”

The Q&A continued.

When Mourinho was asked if he was sure the ball was good and whether he needed to watch the video, Mourinho replied simply, "Not at all, I don't want to watch it, it's clear to me, I see the reaction of the players, I know the movement on the pitch." There was nothing wrong with that ball. ”

The Q&A then went back to normal, with Mourinho believing that Chelsea were the better side, but Everton also earned respect: 'We played better, but I want to praise them for their hard work and fighting spirit today, and the home fans are amazing, they have about 30,000 referees in this game, and the fans have a lot of influence on the game. For a team, this support is amazing. ”

'Everton have a whole squad of fighters and they're going to get more points in the future, it's a parity game, they play aggressively, but they did it right.'

In the end, Mourinho did not forget to taunt the linesman, "We scored two goals, you should ask the linesman why that goal didn't count." Whether he should protect the attacking side is that we scored two goals, but it's not Everton's problem, it's the linesman's problem. ”

Of course. That is Mourinho's opinion, and Everton boss David Moyes also has a different opinion, according to him, Everton should win 2-1. First, Drogba's goal was right, and secondly. John Terry deserves a penalty for handball.

'I think Gudjanssen's position could interfere with the game,' said Moyes, 'and I think it has to be ruled offside because he's in his position and it's affecting the game. ”

'John Terry's handball, I think it should have been a penalty, Terry went to block the shot and it hit his arm, not his chest.

The next question was about Everton's situation, Everton's underrated results so far and David Moyes was under pressure and he talked about some of the issues, but perhaps it was their poor results that made the draw so conspicuous – no one could have imagined that it would be Everton who would end Chelsea's winning streak.

At the same time, some media once again quoted Wan Sheng's words to report on this game - this is a very crucial three points!

Yes, it's critical!

Manchester City won Arsenal, Chelsea drew with Everton, they were only two points apart, this 'crucial' three points leveled the gap between Manchester City and Chelsea, so Chelsea and Manchester City's competition for the top of the league immediately became the focus of attention in England and even Europe.

Ten league games, both teams have won nine and drawn one, accumulating 28 points, but after the statistics, Chelsea still occupy the top of the league by a narrow margin - they have scored 24 goals and conceded three, while Manchester City have also conceded only three goals but scored one less goal, which is 23 goals.

It may have given Chelsea supporters a long breath.

Even if they draw a game, they will still stay in the top position of the league, but they have to accept the fact that their position at the top of the league is no longer secure, they have to face the hot pursuit of Manchester City behind them, and if there is a negligence, or even a little bad performance, Manchester City is likely to overtake them and take the top spot in the league.

……

The outside world is reporting on the competition between Chelsea and Manchester City at the top of the league table, these reports have also affected the Manchester City team, after the regrouping training, many people are discussing the topic of the team and Chelsea league competition, and will also look forward to the league championship, whenever it comes to these, everyone is very happy, for the vast majority of players in the team, they didn't think about the championship before the season, they just think that it would be good for the team to enter a European competition, as far as they are concerned, perform better, attract more media attention, and let the outside world rate themselves higher, And that was it, but what they didn't expect was that they became the only team in the league to compete with Chelsea, and then they got more attention.

The more attention is paid to the team, the more attention is paid to each of them, and every game is very much worth looking forward to.

When it comes to these, everyone is very interested, after all, there is no player who does not want to become famous, even those veterans want to shine at the end of their careers.

The only inactive member of the team is Anelka.

In the last game, Anelka's performance was okay because he had a goal, but after the game, the media attributed the reason for Manchester City's victory to the substitution in the second half, so that the attention was paid to Wan Sheng, who made the substitution decision, and Darren Bent, who was substituted, and he became a player who was replaced for a bad performance.

There wasn't much media criticism of him, but Anelka was still upset.

On the day off after the game, he didn't go out, just talked to his brother about the game, he was quite dissatisfied with being replaced, and also thought that if he was on the field, he would definitely be able to score two more goals, and he would be able to complete the hat trick at that time, so he was very dissatisfied with the game that day, and he was also very dissatisfied with Wansheng, and it was conceivable what kind of face the team could have.

He wanted to show Wan Sheng a face and let the young Chinese coach know that he was dissatisfied with him, but unfortunately, he didn't have a chance for the whole morning - Wan Sheng didn't show up at the training ground at all, and he couldn't take his temper out on other coaches, because Pierce, who was in charge of training, was his senior, and in terms of prestige in the team, he couldn't catch up with Pierce at all.

In the morning, there was no Wan Sheng, Anelka's training was quite decent, and in the afternoon, Wan Sheng appeared at the training ground and began to guide everyone to do tactical training.

That's when Anelka's 'temper' came up.

He was always in training, wanting to show off his skills, so much so that when the football was at his feet, there was no way to continue the tactical training.

Diamares blew his whistle, paused his training, ran over and said, "Nikolai, you should pass to the right side, Lee will follow!" ”

Anelka is just to express his dissatisfaction, and naturally he is not cooperative at all.

As Diamares spoke, he kept nodding his head as if he was making it clear, but when training restarted, he was the same as before.

Diamares said him three times in a row, but it didn't serve any purpose at all, and Pierce also ran over and said a few words.

At this moment, Wan Sheng walked over, pointed at Anelka and said, "Since you can't do well, go to the yellow team (substitute)." Then he looked at Darren Bent, "You swap with him and go to the red team (main team)." ”

Anel Ka suddenly glared at Wan Sheng.

But Wan Sheng had no intention of changing his mind at all, he just let Darren Bent and Anelka exchange training clothes, and Anelka was in a stalemate to have a seizure.

He didn't want to go to the bench, and he had already lost face in front of everyone!

"I don't change! I'm going to be here! Anelka replied forcefully.

Wan Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a gloomy face, "If you don't follow my arrangement, you won't need to train!" ”

Anelka shouted nonchalantly, "If you don't train, you don't train, what's the big deal!" With that, he took off his training uniform and walked out of the court.

The others were stunned when they saw the quarrel between the two, they didn't expect Anelka to dare to quarrel with Wansheng, and they didn't expect Wansheng to be tough and terrible, and he didn't save any face for Anelka at all, so that he could only leave.

At this time, Wan Sheng stared at Anelka's back and said loudly, "You go out now, and you don't have to participate in the team's games in the future." Also, tomorrow you report to the reserves, I don't want to see disobedient people in my team! ”

Then Wan Sheng ignored Anelka, but turned around and shouted, "Training continues!" ”

Many people's hearts trembled. (To be continued......)
