508. Conference

Take the upcoming game as an example. Wen Sheng really couldn't guess what kind of attitude Coman would use to deal with Manchester City. All he could do is to be optimistic about Southampton's key players, and must not be careless and then play Manchester City's own style.

"Mr. Koeman was a real superstar in his player age, and now he has done a great job as a coach. Southampton has changed a lot this season, and they have left a lot of players. Mr. Koeman did a good job, which surprised me a little!"

Speaking of which, Wensheng is much younger than Koeman, but Wensheng's statement made the reporters in the audience feel no incongruity.

Koeman was indeed very successful in his playing days, but he was much less famous than Wen Sheng in terms of being a head coach.

"I know the upcoming game will be difficult for us, but we are already quite far behind Chelsea and we need to win this game!"

"You mean Chelsea is now in the lead in the league championship?!" Jackson continued to ask.

"Look at the points list! It seems like this is the truth!" Wen Sheng shrugged and pursed his lips, looking quite funny.

The reporters chuckled.

Simon Stone raised his hand, and Wensheng just clicked him.

"Then are you feeling a little stressed now? Or a little nervous?" Stone smiled.

"There is no doubt! It's true! Chelsea really put a lot of pressure on us! It's a lie to say that we don't care about the standings, because the whole team has an upward heart, and we long for victory and championships!" The reporters found that Wen Sheng seemed to be unprecedentedly honest, and some people even whispered and felt that the scene in front of us was really strange.

The press conference continued, and Kompani was also surprised by Wensheng's frankness. A reporter happened to ask him if he had seen Wensheng so frankly. He looked at Wensheng with a smile. Wensheng thought he would spoof him, but he didn't expect Kompani said: "The boss has always been very frank in front of us! As for you, I don't know if he is frank enough to you!"

"Slip!" Stone laughed in a low voice, and the reporters laughed.

Then a reporter from the BBC asked Wen Sheng, "Mane will appear in the starting lineup in this game. How do you evaluate his development in the past two years? It is said that you were very optimistic about him before!"

Wensheng won Mane in the season when he first joined Manchester City. However, due to his playing time, Mane went to Crystal Palace last season after playing for a year. I won’t say how chaotic Crystal Palace was last season. Mane was bought by Southampton for 9 million pounds this summer.

When Mane played for Manchester City, it was remarkable, but he couldn't do it after going to Crystal Palace. He didn't feel like the Star of Hope. Parish felt that she was crazy about making this deal, so when Southampton asked for a purchase, he handled Mane to Southampton without hesitation. Wen Sheng knew that he really thought for three minutes of silence for Parish. If it weren't for the playing time, he wouldn't want to let Mane go, Parish would have suffered a big loss.

Mane is now in Southampton, and Koeman's subordinates are getting better. Of course, he doesn't have much affection for Wensheng. Although Wensheng was quite good to him when he was at Manchester City, he didn't get enough opportunities, which made him complain a little.

Wensheng didn't expect that the reporter mentioned his name and he could not say bad things about Mane.

This incident made him feel very wonderful. Mane himself became famous in Southampton. Now the God of Destiny is arranged, and he is still in Southampton, and the future will be very bright.

"Sadio is a very good player. I'm sorry that he didn't get many opportunities under my hands! But I always believe that his future is limitless. He didn't perform very well at Crystal Palace last season. He had a good start in Southampton this season. I hope he can continue to grow well and he will be great in the future!"

After a pause, Wensheng smiled and said, "Of course I hope he will not perform so well in the upcoming game!"

"In addition to Mane, who else do you have a deep impression of Southampton?!" the reporter asked again.

The main reason why Koeman has been so smooth this season is that the upper class supports his work. Many of the players he has introduced are actually his old subordinates, such as Tadic, Pelle and others have played under him.

Wen Sheng remembered Pelle's name. He had watched the European Cup in his previous life. Pelle impressed him deeply. This is a typical tactical striker. It may not be realistic to expect him to be a guarantee of goals every season, but it is very important to support him as a tactical support.

When Koeman coached Feyenoord, Pelle was his favorite player. When Koeman came to Southampton, Koeman brought this old subordinate to Southampton. This striker had a very successful tactical role in the team. He was tall and strong, and had a slightly slow speed. However, no team could ignore his strength in physical confrontation and aerial ball competition.

Koeman achieved a series of successes with high center Pelle. Koeman's current tactical system has a very important role. Later, Koeman went to Everton. Originally, Everton had a high center Lukaku, but because Lukaku transferred, Koeman did not have a suitable substitute. In the end, he suffered a Waterloo in Everton and was dismissed in disgrace.

Conte and Koeman are similar to that, both like this tall and mighty high center forward. Not only are they, Wen Sheng also likes high center forwards. He has always given up on Dzeko because Dzeko's tactical value is great. However, Manchester City has the capital and ability to not formulate tactics around Dzeko. For relatively weak teams, there is very effective with high center forwards. Conte also led the public to Italy to shine in the 2016 European Cup because of his correct use of Pelle.

"I want to say Pelle! His tactical value in Southampton is very valuable, we need to be careful and cautious about him! He will bring us danger!" Wensheng's answer was somewhat beyond the expectations of the reporters. The reporters thought he would say that Tadic, Tadic has performed very actively in Southampton this season and has made great contributions to Southampton.

Before the reporters could ask questions, Wensheng added Tadic's name again.

Now everyone finally has nothing to say.

The press conference went very quickly, and it took less than 20 minutes in total, and the reporters also got what they wanted.

"Simon, what do you think of Daniel's statement at the press conference today?!" Wensheng and Kompany left the press conference site, and the reporters also scattered. Stone and Blackburn went out of the press conference hall together, exchanging their experiences at the press conference while walking.

"What's his opinion?! Are you talking about him taking Southampton?!" Stone put his recorder in his shoulder bag.
