Chapter 127: Mancini's seat is unstable
Looking at Digan who was running wildly on the pitch to celebrate, Mancini on the sidelines seemed to have been drained of his strength, sitting in the coach's seat with blank eyes, not saying a word, there were still ten minutes left in the game, just one goal behind, Manchester City was not completely without chances, but Mancini didn't act at all, just sat like this.
"It looks like that fragile Italian man has collapsed again," Smith commented mercilessly, "I don't remember how many times this is, every time he encounters something that can't be solved, he chooses to run away, or he shirks responsibility, what is the reason this time?" Kompany didn't jump high enough? All right! Anyway, any strange reason always comes out of his mouth, and I don't think it's strange at all! ”
In fact, Mancini is not as unbearable as Smith said, and in 2009 Mancini succeeded Mark. Since Hughes became the manager of Manchester City, he has also made a lot of contributions to the construction of Manchester City. Toure, David. Backbone players such as Silva and Balotelli have contributed to the team's FA Cup and English top flight titles for the first time in several years.
In Mancini's first season in charge, Manchester City finished fifth in the league with 18 wins, 13 draws and seven defeats, missing out on the Champions League but the team's best record in recent years.
And in the 2010/2011 season, he led the team to lift the FA Cup trophy again after 35 years, and in that season, Manchester City also went to the next level in the league, with a record of 21 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, ranking third in the league, leading the blue moon to qualify for the Champions League again after 43 years.
Last season, Mancini, who has been accumulating for two years, led Manchester City to start a crazy wrestling with Manchester United in the league from the beginning, Manchester City and Manchester United were 6 wins and 1 draw in the first 7 rounds, and what is even more fierce is that the two teams scored 23 goals and 24 goals respectively, Manchester City has a 5:1 away victory over Tottenham, Manchester United has an 8:2 sweep of Arsenal in the same round, until the 8th round of Manchester United drew 1:1 with Liverpool away, Manchester City defeated Villa 4:1, Mancini's team sat on the top of the table for the first time, And ushered in the first derby of the season with a points lead.
The 6-1 derby at Old Trafford was Mancini's classic battle for Manchester City, and for Manchester City, the big win was not only about expanding the points advantage, but also giving them a big confidence and belief in the league title.
And that's true, after that game, Manchester City led the Premier League for 21 consecutive games, during which time the five-point advantage over Manchester United was maintained for a long time, and with all home wins, such a record made people think that Manchester City had won the league without Manchester City.
However, then Lafayette launched a crazy psychological war just like Keegan who treated Newcastle back then, and Mancini's fragile nerves, at that time, almost collapsed, and the championship that was almost in hand almost flew away.
Fortunately, in the last league game of last season, Manchester City scored two goals in the last injury time to complete a shocking reversal, and also helped Manchester City win the top league championship after 44 years by virtue of goal difference.
This season, Manchester City and FA Cup winners Chelsea staged a double blue match at Villa Park. Toure, Carlos Tevez and Nasri scored to help Manchester City win the title with a 3-2 win over Chelsea and win the Community Shield four decades later, the fourth in the club's history.
It can be said that Mancini has also had highlight moments at Manchester City, but what people remember more deeply is that he was in the blue moon, causing those controversial events, which also made him constantly pushed to the forefront by the media and fans at the beginning of this season, which also directly caused his current position to be unstable.
One of the most famous is the Tevez boycott incident, in September 2011, the second round of the Champions League Manchester City lost 0:2 to Bayern, in the game Tevez refused to play for the team, and then half a year of the beast suspended pay, suspended, fined, during which he also left the team without authorization, but in the end, Tevez apologized and returned to the team, making a great contribution to Manchester City's sprint, which was equivalent to a resounding slap in the face of Mancini.
The most difficult thing for Manchester City fans to let go is the team's lack of strength in the Champions League, although Manchester City was out early after the Champions League group stage last season, but it was still able to win Villarreal, Manchester City's current Champions League record this season, only four games have achieved two draws and two defeats, basically there is no hope of qualifying for the group, Mancini is not very good at European weaknesses in Manchester City.
There is also the management of players, such as the bad boy Balotelli who has transferred to AC Milan, Mancini's lover always discredits his mentor, car accidents, bathroom fireworks, darts lose players, and Ba Shen's funny moments are Mancini's unbearable moments.
Nepotism is not only in the treatment of players, but also in the treatment of staff, Mancini has changed almost all the staff of the team after taking charge of Manchester City, the former coach, the team doctor, all of them have not been spared, and he even brought a chef from Italy.
There are favored, and naturally there are boredoms, the main reason for Mancini's instability in his current position is the rupture of the relationship with the players, and all this in this season's Champions League group stage Manchester City in the Champions League group stage, after losing to Real Madrid away, he criticized the team's main goalkeeper Joe in the dressing room. Hart was doomed.
Joe. Hart is the main goalkeeper of the England team, and he is the leader of England's local players in the Manchester City team, Mancini's brainless approach obviously makes the existing contradictions between him and the players and team staff even more intensified, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his current situation is a betrayal.
Mancini is such a strange person, when he is good to a player, he will be unreserved, in any case, he will give 100% support to that player, but once he doesn't like a person, that player is unlucky, basically in the eyes of Mancini becomes useless, Joe. Hart is like that, who can say Joe. Hart's ability is not good? Even if the England team has now been reduced to a pseudo-strong team, the strength is still leveraged, at least there is no problem in playing a dozen second-rate teams, Joe. Hart can sit in the main goalkeeper position of the England team, which in itself is a recognition of his strength, but Mancini obviously does not see it that way, in his eyes, all the goals conceded by the team are directly related to Hart. Hart's conflict intensified, which basically meant that all the English players in the Manchester City team were all on the opposite side of Mancini, that is, from this moment on, Mancini had no way back.
It can be said that Mancini's current position in the Manchester City team is very embarrassing, and even one of Manchester City's main players once said in an interview with reporters: "When he is out, we must definitely open a bottle of champagne to celebrate!" ”
This kind of situation seems really strange, because like Joe. The likes of Hart, Barry and James Milner have never won any honours before, winning the FA Cup in 2011 after Mancini took charge of Manchester City and winning the Premier League a year later, but sadly, the reality is that there is really no regret for Mancini if he is sacked by the club.
Of course, every top manager has their own controversy, which is what motivates them to move forward, but at Manchester City, Mancini is undoubtedly a little too controversial, and even the president of the team who hired him and has always supported him, Mubarak, has not been able to convince Mancini to use more diplomatic skills, and Mubarak has been told by the players on more than one occasion that Mancini is not welcome.
Not popular among the players, Mancini's popularity among Manchester City fans is also the lowest in the Manchester City team, and some fans even hope that Mancini will leave after winning the league last season, even the most demanding and ruthless football people are probably surprised.
The contradictions between the players and the fans may still be able to be diluted, and the results on the pitch are not ideal, Mancini's days in the blue moon are really coming to an end.
Especially in the Champions League, where we were out of the Champions League group last season, we may be able to use a lack of experience as an excuse, but what about this season?
Even if you still lack experience, but with so many excellent players, at least in terms of ability, you can make up for the lack of experience, right?
But the result?
In the Champions League, there were two draws and two losses in the first four games of the group stage, although there is still hope of a counterattack, but everyone can see that Manchester City's Champions League is on the verge of exit, and it will undoubtedly be coach Mancini who will pay for it.
Roberto Mancini has so far brought Manchester City an FA Cup, the first Premier League title in the club's history, and a Community Shield to make up the numbers, but his European ability has not improved compared to Inter's time, and after being out of the group last season, they are on the verge of going out again this year with two defeats and two draws.
Mancini is clearly largely responsible for City's poor record in the Champions League, as he and many of the players in his squad have a wealth of Champions League experience. Players such as Toure and Carlos Tevez are very experienced players.
Losing against Real Madrid, maybe you can use the difference in strength to make excuses, but the previous loss to Ajax in the same group, it is completely unforgivable, and I don't know what evil Mancini committed in that game, and he actually played his own immature three-back formation, after Lescott was replaced by Kolarov, two of the three were still full-backs, and after the game, Richards bluntly said that they did not practice the three-back formation well, which is obviously the incompetence of the manager.
Mansour spends so much money on reinforcements every year, obviously not to see the team so embarrassed on the pitch, nor just to make Manchester City dominate the domestic arena, his goal is the same as Roman Abramovich's, which is the Champions League.
Of course, if he can really dominate dominantly at home, Mansour is at least acceptable, if not very satisfied, but this season, Manchester City have also done nothing on the domestic stage.
In the League Cup that ended before, the defending champion Manchester City of the English Premier League was twice equalized by Aston Villa when they led twice at home, and lost 2:4 in extra time, and were upset.
You must know that in the League Cup with Aston Villa, Mancini sent all the main lineup, but even so, Mancini still lost, and the loss was quite embarrassing.
Losing on the pitch and losing Mancini off the pitch, the two managers clashed after the game because the Aston Villa players had a confrontation with David Villa during the game. Silva had a rough tackle that the referee ignored.
Angry Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini accused Aston Villa manager Lambert of deliberately instructing his players to hurt David after the game. Silva, for no reason, Lambert, who had a basin on his head, naturally couldn't just admit it, and the two sides immediately broke out in a fierce verbal conflict at the post-match press conference.
Maybe Mancini is so impulsive, just to cover up the fact that the league was lost to the weak team, although the League Cup is a chicken rib competition, but for the current Manchester City, this should be the best opportunity to boost morale, but unfortunately the team lost again, Mancini's life is naturally not easy.
The results in the cup are not good, and in the league, the same situation is the same, as the defending champions, Manchester City are now only in sixth place in the league table, which is obviously not satisfactory.
With a poor Premier League standings, a Champions League group stage on the verge of exit, and a League Cup elimination, Roberto Mancini is undoubtedly feeling the danger of an early departure.
Before the start of this match against Tottenham, it was revealed in the media that Mancini's managerial career at the Etihad Stadium may soon be over.
Although the Italian teenager Roberto Mancini still has the support of the Manchester City president, he has been on the verge of being sacked by a series of arguments and conflicts with several of the team's main players, combined with his poor performances in the league and Champions League this season.
It has even been revealed that 99% of Roberto Mancini will leave the club this summer, and even this time is likely to be brought forward, so who will take over after Mancini's departure, the media said that Mangelli, Carlo Ancelotti, Simeone and Klopp are the four candidates for the position of Manchester City manager.
Malaga boss Manuel Pellegrini, Argentine Simeone and Borussia Dortmund Jurgen Klopp are no new names in the list, but it is the first time that former Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with Manchester City.
However, according to credible sources, Manchester City's hierarchy has indeed made initial contact with Carlo Ancelotti himself, and the old Italian is eager to leave Ligue 1 at the end of the season, and a return to the Premier League may also be a good option for him.
Of course, if Mancini can beat Tottenham in this game, he may be able to save his position, but judging from the current situation in this game, if you want to win, at least Mancini himself, has given up in advance.
Eyes are blank, confused, panicked, this is the manager of Manchester City, the unlucky appearance presented in front of people now, will be the courage of the soldiers, the same incompetence can also exhaust the three armies, Mancini is obviously the incompetent manager.
There are still ten minutes left in the game, but the Manchester City players on the pitch don't know what to do at this time, Mancini has no instructions at all, and the players can only strengthen their attack according to their own judgment, hoping that in this last bit of time, they can repeat the last game of last season and reverse the miracle of the Royal Garden Rangers.
But City's players clearly took it for granted, and there was nothing to be ashamed of when Antienes ordered to retract their defence immediately after Digan's goal.
Manchester City's strength is here, even if Mancini is dizzy and gives up resistance in advance, but who can guarantee that those stars of Manchester City will not suddenly have a flash of inspiration in the next game, and the Tottenham Hotspur defense has not been able to satisfy Antienes.
Facing Tottenham Hotspur with all their might, Manchester City's stars didn't have much of a way to do it for a while, and in most cases, they could only threaten Tottenham's goal through individual performances.
"Manchester City before and after the goal was conceded, it was completely two different teams, before the goal was conceded, Manchester City had always dominated the field, it can be said that they played better than Tottenham, but now, after conceding the goal, Manchester City immediately became a mess, who is to blame?"
Smith didn't name him, but everyone knew he was talking about Roberto Mancini, who had been in a state of panic after City conceded a goal.
The rest of the game didn't make much sense, Tottenham defended with all their might, Manchester City lacked attack, and finally the game ended with a victory for Tottenham.
After this game, Manchester City dropped one place in the table to seventh place, and it seems to be a big joke to defend the title.
After the game, Mancini, who lost the game, was helpless, and at the press conference, he said to reporters with a depressed face: "This is football, at the last minute, we were very unlucky, but I am very happy with the team's performance, this is football, we played a good game, but Tottenham won the three points in the end, we are not bad, we just lost the game." ”
Although he forced a smile in front of the media, in the dressing room, Mancini was furious, first with goalkeeper Joe. Hart completely tore his face and said in front of the England goal: "It's your fault for conceding the goal!" ”
Mancini was not only to Joe. Hart was furious and didn't look badly at Aguero, Nasri and Tevez.
In the words of one Manchester City player afterwards: "He's going crazy and looks like he's going to fight everybody." ”
With the home defeat to Tottenham, Mancini's life at Manchester City may have been even worse, although the club has not sent him a direct letter of dismissal, but no one knows how much time City has left for the Italian.
The club may be able to pretend to be calm, but the media are already eager to list the crimes committed by Mancini during his time at Manchester City after the game.
One is to squander, more than three years, Mancini spent a total of 300 million pounds for reinforcements, of course, Manchester City's owner Mansour Sheikh is never bad for money, since entering Manchester City to buy players without hesitation, Mancini became the team's head coach, Manchester City is even more spending, completely in accordance with the wishes of the Italians to buy people, during the period of coaching Manchester City, Mancini spent 300 million pounds on the transfer fee alone.
Roberto Mancini has bought a large number of world-renowned players, including Balotelli, Dzeko, Nasri, Aguero, David. Silva, Tevez and more, Mancini signed Sergio Aguero for £39.6 million last summer, making the Argentine the new king of Manchester City. However, when these stars are together, they can't play the role of one plus one equals two, such as Balotelli and Dzeko, when the two appear on the field together, there is always nothing good, and the effect is not even as good as using Balotelli and Dzeko alone, and now one of the two was sold to AC Milan at a reduced price, and the remaining one sat on the bench, in fact, not only Dzeko, but also many stars have been sitting on the cold bench for a long time since they arrived at Manchester City, and they can't make the best use of things, which is a typical waste.
In the past three years or so, Manchester City has spent some of the best money on transfers in Europe, but unfortunately there is a certain gap between their results and their contributions, and spending money recklessly is Mancini's first sin.
The second is that it is difficult to qualify for the Champions League group stage, if the team can achieve certain results after squandering, the owner Mansour Chief will definitely not embarrass the Italians, but unfortunately, Mancini's achievements in leading the team for more than three years have not been recognized, and the Champions League has not been able to qualify for the group stage for two consecutive seasons, which is Mancini's second sin.
In terms of the player's popularity, the gap between Manchester City and Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United is not large, and Mancini was expected to have high hopes at the beginning, even if he cannot win three consecutive Champions League titles like Fiorentina, he should still achieve good results.
It's a pity that for more than three years, Mancini has only one Premier League title, and the two titles of the Community Shield and the FA Cup are not high.
The third is that Mancini and the players continue to contradict, according to media reports, the "soldiers" of the players in the locker room of Manchester City Club are not once or twice, and the team's big names Tevez, Nasri, Joe. Hart, Kompany and Mancini all have conflicts, the more typical of which is the scolding with Tevez and the brawl with Nasri, as for the current teammate Adebayor of Degan, who was also purged and transferred to Tottenham after many conflicts with Mancini.
The disunity in the dressing room will inevitably affect the team's results, and Mancini's ability to deal with the relationship with the players is indeed far from that of Ferguson, which has also become the third sin of Mancini's dismissal.
Originally, Mancini's position was unstable, but Degan didn't have a fart, but the problem was that after losing to Tottenham at home, the call for Mancini to leave class was very loud, and the goal scored by Degan in this game can be said to be a bullet shot at Mancini.
Tottenham's previous victory over Chelsea has directly led to Di Matteo's resignation, and now with another win over Manchester City, Mancini's position is also greatly unstable.
"What does this have to do with me!? If he leaves the class only to prove that he is incompetent, can he sit in the Manchester City manager position for the rest of his life if I don't score in the game? ”
When he first played in Serie A, Degan and Mancini, who was the manager of Inter Milan at the time, had a bad relationship, and almost every time Fiorentina and Inter Milan met, the two of them would have some verbal conflicts.
But to say that Degan directly removed Mancini from the position of coach of Manchester City, Degan is not willing to bear this "crime".
Before in Serie A, Mancini's dismissal had something to do with Degan, after all, if it wasn't for Degan's little butterfly that changed the direction of history, Mancini would at least be able to achieve a lot of success at Inter Milan, but Degan led Fiorentina to rise strongly, so that Mancini's final results in Inter Milan were only retained in two league titles, one of which was given to them by the Italian Football Association.
But Mancini's insecure position at Manchester City is none of his business!?
Roberto Mancini arrived at Manchester City in 2009, and Digan only joined Tottenham this season, and the two have only had the energy to play each other once on the pitch, and this charge can be put on his head.
"Forget it! Whatever you say, call me the manager killer, I don't care, anyway, that's all you have to do, far-fetched, to involve originally irrelevant things, it's your forte, if you have to say that, I don't care, but I hoped that Mancini could continue to work in the position of Manchester City, with him, Manchester City will never pose a threat to us! ”
It's good that Digan didn't say this, but because of Digan's words, on the third day after the end of this game, Manchester City FC immediately announced that Italian coach Roberto Diegan. Mancini is out of class.
Mancini left with all the staff he brought with him, and of course Mancini's two uncompetitive sons who ate in Manchester City's youth team.
When he saw the news, Degan's surprised eyeballs almost exploded, and then he received a call from Tottenham Club President Levy, in which Levy told him that Manchester City President Mubarak had told him in private that it was Degan's words to reporters that directly made Mansour, the owner of Manchester City Club, make up his mind to let Mancini go.
This thing is really TMD at home!
"What happened?" Park Ji-yeon walked over, her lower abdomen now showing signs of a slight bulge.
Degan hurriedly helped Park Ji-yeon to sit down: "It's nothing, the head coach of a team was removed by my goal!" ”
Park Ji-yeon didn't continue to ask, but took out an envelope and handed it to Di Gan: "For you!" ”
Digan was stunned, what age is this, there is still someone who wrote to him, took it suspiciously, tore it open, and what it contained was not a letter, but a ticket, and when Digan saw the contents of the ticket clearly, his head suddenly became big.
