158. I am the promotion

Neither team has reached its usual level, and Spanish reporters have started to make things difficult for Wen Sheng after the game.

"Wen, your team doesn't seem to want to win at the Rose Garden Stadium?!" A reporter from the Malaga Daily questioned Manchester City's attitude towards the game.

Wen Sheng sneered in his heart, shrugged, and replied with an innocent look: "My team and I are here to compete for the quarterfinals. Is this important to my team?! Is it important?! Is it important?!"

Three times in a row, everyone understood what he meant. The reporter of the Malaga Daily blushed. Wen Sheng's subtext was that this issue was fundamentally important.

The beginning of the game gave this group of reporters a warning, and everyone should know that Wensheng is still the thorn.

"Do you have bias against us Spanish journalists?" asked the reporter of "Maca": "

"Why do you say that?!"

"Your attitude doesn't feel amiable whether it's before or after the game!"

"Because you always ask some meaningless questions. Before the game, you said that my tactics were boring. After the game, you said that I did not come to Malaga with a winning attitude! Are these questions meaningful?! Why can't we talk about the game happily? It's not that I prejudice you, it's that you deliberately make things difficult for me!" Wen Sheng sneered.

The Spanish reporters in the audience were silent. These guys were in private and asked to give Wen Sheng a little color. The questions they asked were indeed some nonsense, which was suspected of disrupting Manchester City's morale.

Just talking about the questions asked by the reporter of the Malaga Daily, it is really unnecessary to ask such questions. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, and the winner is still questioned like this. Why didn’t they just question Pellegrini?!

Spanish media was defeated, and reporters from other countries, including UEFA, naturally need to get into the bad news. One issue that everyone is generally concerned about has become a match for the quarterfinals.

After the second leg between Manchester City and Malaga, all quarter-finals were released. Two teams in the Premier League advanced, one was Manchester City and the other was Manchester United. There was a team in La Liga Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Dortmund, Juventus in Serie A, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, and Galata Sere.

There is no principle that teams in the same league will avoid draws in the quarterfinals. Manchester City may also draw Manchester United and stage a Manchester City derby in the Champions League.

"We have proved our strength, and we have the ability to go further in this competition! It doesn't matter who we draw! We have strong confidence!"

How can you shrink your eggs at such moments?! You must express strong confidence, mainly to the players. Manchester City players’ self-confidence is probably not a big problem. Wen Sheng’s public expression of this self-confidence brings the players’ feelings, which will help players further build confidence.

"Can you tell us who you least want to face?!"

"I don't want to face anyone the least! I think there should be a team that doesn't want to face us!" Wen Sheng replied with a smile.

Some people really don’t want to face Manchester City. For example, Klopp, who felt that his team played awkwardly in the two games of the group stage was that Manchester City’s style was actually somewhat incompatible with Dortmund. Dortmund was good at using running and bombing tactics, while Manchester City played like an Italian team, delaying the pace of the game and making them feel uncomfortable.

On the other hand, like other teams who are facing Dortmund are not as conservative as Manchester City. Many teams are not as conservative as they are. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid can admit defeat in the face of Dortmund's tactics?! It's impossible, so Klopp really doesn't want to touch Manchester City.

A week ago, after Dortmund beat Donetsk Miners 3::0 at home and advanced 5:2, Klopp said in an interview with reporters after the game: "I don't want to meet Manchester City again, because we have already competed in the group stage. Now we should meet other strong teams!"

He was joking during the interview, but only he knew that he really didn't want to touch Manchester City.

Many teams are like Dortmund and don’t want to touch Manchester City. The team’s condition is really terrifying. Since January, Manchester City has not known what it feels like to lose. It’s just this Champions League that I tasted the taste of a draw, and all other games won.

The critics in England have long been speechless. What can you say at this time? Are you afraid of being slapped in the face if you say too much? The critics who said that Manchester United will surpass Manchester City in February are still in pain now.

......

At noon on the 15th, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of UEFA was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

There is also a away game against Everton on the weekend, so Manchester City is in normal training that day, but Wen Sheng did not arrange for the players to watch the draw ceremony in a concentrated manner.

Of course, he did not organize the players to organize the lottery ceremony on their own.

Wen Sheng was planning to take a good look at the lottery results in his rest room, but he didn't expect that everyone from the coaching team came together.

"I knew you must be hiding in the room to watch the live broadcast!" Joey teased his cousin with a smile.

"Nonsense?! As the team's head coach, I don't even care about anyone's draw?! How numb am I?" Wensheng slapped Joey hard.

Everyone burst into laughter, who said it was not?! It was because of concern that everyone couldn't sit still, so they planned to see who they got in the room, and by the way, they could also listen to the head coach's "teaching"!

After asking everyone to sit down, Wensheng said: "What I thought was that it would be better not to beat Bayern Munich and Barcelona!"

"It's different if you draw anyone. Our current strength is not impossible to fight with them?" Hawking didn't care, and he was even a little eager to try. Barcelona and Bayern Munich had competed with Wen Sheng when he was at the Crystal Palace before, and he was not so scared after seeing it.

"Yes, it's good to draw them. We can see what flaws we have. It's hard for our opponents to discover our weaknesses now!" Kidd nodded.

"You guys, it's different to draw! Our team is still in the rising period and has not yet reached its best state. If we can go further in the Champions League, the players' self-confidence will definitely increase further! It will be beneficial for us to compete in the Champions League next season! We certainly don't need to be afraid when we meet opponents like Bayern and Barcelona, ​​but the possibility of advancing to the semi-finals is much smaller!"

Therefore, the coaches in the coaching team can only be the head coach, and sometimes they cannot think about this issue from the overall perspective. No one has ever thought of such details.

"Besides, going further means money! Don't forget that Manchester United is still in the Champions League. If we go further than them, I think it is a pressure for them. Maybe they will think they are worse than us! Are you talking about it fun?!"
