117. Public opinion is one-sided

Wensheng did not give Barnett a chance. He didn't care or pay attention to Barnett's intentional obstruction. He directly said to Barnett and Richards, "You are finished, at least under my command, you will definitely be finished!"

Richards' contract is not long and will not expire until June 2014. This is why Barnett can still deliberately make bad things. If the contract is really long, how dare Barnett not give Richards the correct advice as soon as possible?!

Manchester City gave Richards a heavy blow. Wensheng's suggestion was to let Richards stay until the end of the contract period, and Vegiristan and Soriano certainly did not agree with this plan. Wensheng drove Richards to the reserve team for one minute and did not give Richards. They had no choice but to hold back if they had any objections, but since it was broken, Soriano and Begiristan would be the best thing to do was to send Richards away as soon as possible.

So Soriano hopes to sell Richards during the winter window.

Things fermented quickly, and Richards was scolded on the Internet. He probably didn't expect that his purebred Manchester City youth training would be far less than Wen Sheng in the minds of fans.

There is no way. Manchester City led by Wensheng is still at the top of the list, and his results are his biggest reliance.

Manchester City legend Dikov criticized Richards in an interview, "What he said is too inappropriate and is now at a critical moment. If he really thinks he is a part of Manchester City and is really willing to think about the team, he should solve this matter privately instead of discussing it publicly! This behavior is a betrayal of the team!"

Dikov had been a teammate with Richards before. As the club's image ambassador, he had praised his old teammates many times before, but now he, like many fans, definitely doesn't like Richards' actions.

Another former Manchester City Sean Wright, who had been teammates with Richards, did not give this junior face either.

Wright and Wensheng also cooperated with him. At that time, Wensheng took him in due to his father's face. Although he didn't play much under Wensheng due to injuries and other reasons, Wright and Wensheng had a good relationship.

In addition, his father has a very good relationship with Wensheng, so he certainly won't speak for Richards at such an important moment.

"Young people need to know how to be humble and respect the head coach's decisions. If you cannot get playing time, you should look for problems from yourself, rather than venting your anger on others! As far as I know, Daniel is a very easy-to-talk person and acts fairly. I don't think he is doing something wrong!"

Having these people waving flags and shouting for Wen Sheng not only made Richards feel disheartened, but also allowed other players on the team to see how Wen Sheng was so popular.

At the pre-match press conference between the FA Cup and Watford, the reporters of course focused on Richards.

"He is an adult, he has the right to do his own thing. He can do whatever he wants, and no one will stop him!" Wen Sheng looked indifferent.

"This is not the first time he has criticized his head coach, and what he has done now is not very strange!"

"I have been with many players, and I can tell you bluntly that I can't be friends with everyone. Even if I am willing to be friends with everyone, sometimes the differences in people's personalities and perceptions of things are destined to make it impossible for me and some of them to become friends! I can tolerate them being dissatisfied with me because it's nothing, but I absolutely cannot tolerate their harm to the team!"

No matter how much he is, Wen Sheng first occupied the moral commanding heights, which made public opinion Barnett and Richards unable to turn the tables.

His views are indeed in line with Manchester City fans, so the reporters really can't say anything.

After experiencing the training ground storm, Wen Sheng never said anything to the players on the team to ease the team's tense atmosphere. However, at the press conference today, he talked earnestly with his players through the media.

"I am very happy to be here and stay with this group of talented players. We have been working hard for the common goal since the first day of the season! But the road to winning the championship is definitely full of thorns, fatigue, injuries, public opinion pressure, and even some internal small problems have brought us all kinds of distress and difficulties! But I always believe in my players, we have a big heart, we can overcome these difficulties and gain honors, and I firmly believe in this!"

After the press conference, Wen Sheng asked the captain Kompani players who attended the press conference with him what their mentality was.

"Everyone said Mika is finished!" Kompani actually smiled.

Wen Sheng knew that the players should not be affected by the Richards incident when he saw his expression.

"Thank you, Vincent!" Without Kompani, Wensheng knew that behind this, there must be the efforts of this locker room boss.

"Boss, this is not my credit!" Kompany smiled. He understood what Wensheng meant, "We are in a good situation now, and no one can stop us from winning the championship!"

"Very good!" Wensheng gave a thumbs up. Richards's incident made him angry because this guy ignored the current period.

When Wen Sheng heard Kompani's reply, he seemed to have relieved a lot of anger.

There is no league this weekend, so it gives way to the FA Cup. For Premier League teams, the League Cup usually starts in August and ends in February every year, while the FA Cup starts in January and ends in May.

Premier League teams went directly to the third round. Manchester City's opponent Watford is located in northwest Greater London, but they are not London teams, and the team belongs to Hertfordshire.

The origins of Watford date back to 1881, when Watford's predecessor, Watford Rangers was founded in Hertfordshire, northwest London. In 17 years later, in 1898, the Rangers merged with another local club, Watford St. Mary, to officially establish the Watford Football Club.

This team has been established for quite a long time, but from the macro perspective of English football, there is no outstanding performance or a championship. The stadium capacity is smaller than that of Crystal Palace, so Watford is a real grassroots team in English football.

Speaking of this grassroots team, we have to mention the famous rock godfather Alton John, who is a British national treasure singer and a diehard Watford fan. He once directly extended a helping hand when Watford was in danger and became the team owner. However, John's days in power are already a thing of the past, and that was also the most awesome time in Watford's history.
