Chapter 376 Focus Competition
Yang Mo's resumption of training undoubtedly gave Manchester City a shot in the arm.
The fans rejoiced, the reporters found new reporting directions, and everything seemed to be moving in a good direction.
But the fans and the media were happy. The day after the training, Yang Mo, who rushed to Switzerland, had a terrible time at the Zurich Opera House.
At the FIFA Awards Ceremony held on January 1, because of Bayern's poor performance last season, Yang Mo could only watch dryly as Messi won the 16 FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Although Messi had already expected to win the award, it still made him very uncomfortable to see others win the award.
And not only did he not win the award, he even lagged behind Harvey and Ronaldo in terms of award scores, ranking only fourth.
When Yang Mo lost the Ballon d'Or, on the same day when the Premier League announced the best player of the month in December, Yang Mo failed as expected.
In addition to Yang Mo, Mancini's best coach of the month is also useless because of his poor team leadership.
However, when Mancini was interviewed on this day, the outside world was not very interested in Mancini's defeat. Everyone was concerned about when Yang Mo would play in the game.
Reporter: "Mr. Mancini, training resumed yesterday, so will Yang Mo be included in the squad for the 21st round of the league with Wigan Athletic tomorrow?"
Mancini: "Young is still in the observation period of resuming training. At this time, I will not take the risk of letting him participate in the game, so he will not appear in the squad."
"I can understand everyone's desire to see Yang play, but now the most important thing is to let Yang recover from his injury, so please don't be too anxious."
Mancini's words are destined to disappoint fans who want to see Yang Mo play.
But the fans are disappointed. On January 1, in the 17st round of the Premier League, Manchester City's results poured cold water on everyone.
In the away game against Wigan Athletic, who is the last in the standings, Manchester City actually got another draw, extending their winless games to seven games.
In the first half of this game, the two teams continued to see-saw attacks, but in the end they did not score a goal.
But at the beginning of the second half, Mancini finally replaced Aguero, the new aid who has attracted much attention.
What's interesting is that Aguero officially replaced Milner in the position of right midfielder, which is exactly the same as Yang Mo's previous position.
After Aguero played, he also showed a strong desire to attack. In the 71st minute of the second half, he assisted Dzeko to score a goal and won the applause of the Manchester City expedition fans.
The score of 0-1 was maintained by Manchester City until the end of the game, and it was about to reap a victory and end the bad luck.
But what no one could have imagined was that just as the game was in stoppage time, Wigan Athletic's No. 9 striker Di Santo shot a long shot from outside the penalty area, but Manchester City's dream was shattered.
When the ball flew into the penalty area, it was refracted on the leg of defender Charles, causing Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart to react in a hurry, and could only watch the football fly into the goal weakly.
1-1 is the final score of the game.
After the game, Mancini was bombarded by the media again. The Italian wanted to get angry several times, but he endured it all.
As for Aguero, who played for Manchester City for the first time, although his performance was passable, he also became a fish in the pool because of the team's loss.
In many media reports in the UK, it has been stated that although Aguero is three years older than Yang Mo, he lacks Yang Mo's leadership ability and is difficult to lead Manchester City to victory.
Because the team lost, the fans were also quite disappointed with Aguero.
Feeling the conscience, Aguero performed well in this game. He dribbled the ball on the right side several times and was very eye-catching. He also created several opportunities, so that Wigan Athletic had to send more players to defend .
It can be said that if it is not for the lack of tacit understanding between Aguero and his teammates, Manchester City may not necessarily lose in the end.
But even if Aguero played like this, he still couldn't meet the expectations of the fans. After all, before Aguero, it was Yang Mo who charged for Manchester City on the right.
Everyone is used to seeing Yang Mo's speed and lightning on the right, and seeing Yang Mo's unstoppable power, and seeing the scenes of people turning their backs wherever Yang Mo goes, and comparing Aguero's performance, it's no wonder that they are a little disappointed. .
Therefore, you can't blame Aguero for this performance, after all, who made Yang Mo too perverted.
After the No.20 round of the Premier League ended, the form of the standings changed again.
The original leader Tottenham Hotspur was tied by the Wolves and got a draw, and the points became 47 points.
Manchester United defeated Bolton 3-0 in this round of the league, raising the points from 45 to 48, surpassing Tottenham Hotspur again, temporarily ranking first in the standings.
As for Manchester City, a tie gained one point, and the points became 46 points, temporarily ranking third in the standings.
Because of this draw, Chelsea, who had been left far behind by Manchester City, also quietly pulled into the points with Manchester City.
Originally, Manchester City's points were 40 points. After defeating Sunderland in this round, the points also came to 43 points, which is only 3 points behind Manchester City.
It can be said that after the 21st round of the Premier League, because of Manchester City's sudden collapse of the league without a win in six games, the original huge points advantage still completely disappeared.
At this time, entering the sprint stage of the second half of the Premier League, Manchester City had to fight desperately with the strong teams in the league to grab points.
Fortunately, only in the first half of the league, the Manchester City coaching staff formulated a strategy to give up the FA Cup and the League Cup and strive for the league championship with all their strength.
Otherwise, facing the extremely intensive schedule in the second half, even if Yang Mo returns to Manchester City, it may not be able to reverse the situation immediately.
Seven games without victory, falling out of the top two in the standings, Manchester City's current predicament makes Manchester City fans look forward to Yang Mo's comeback even more.
But when everyone didn't know, when Yang Mo's comeback was imminent, the Manchester City executives' patience with Mancini reached the limit.
Being tied by Liverpool could be said to be the reason for the loss, but being tied by Wigan Athletic, the last team in the league, Mansour and Mubarak have completely distrusted Mancini.
Even if Annihilation comes back and the team wins, I am afraid that the distrust in Mansour's heart will not be dispelled.
After all, as the outside media said, if the team needs to rely on Yang Mo to win, what difference does it make to who is the head coach?
Therefore, Yang Mo's comeback is actually not a dawn for Mancini, but an alternative reminder.
On January 1, the second day after Manchester City was tied by Wigan Athletic, Aguero did not leave after training, but chose to practice more.
The outside world's comments on the previous game also put a lot of pressure on Aguero. No one likes to be compared with others, especially compared with people who are stronger than themselves.
In Aguero's view, he had already played his best in yesterday's game, and the responsibility for the team's loss should not be placed on him.
But the public opinion is like this. At this juncture of Manchester City's sudden collapse, he transferred and played in danger. It is normal for him to be compared.
Walking to the equipment training room of the Carrington base, before entering, Aguero heard the sound of someone using the equipment inside.
"Hey, who will it be this time? I remember I was the first to leave the locker room?"
With doubts, Aguero walked into training.
As soon as he entered the door, the only Asian face in the Manchester City team appeared in Aguero's eyes. It was not someone else, it was Yang Mo.
Aguero saw that Yang Mo was on a device for training leg strength at this time, and his training clothes were soaked with sweat. It seemed that he should have worked hard for a while.
When Aguero saw Yang Mo, Yang Mo also saw Aguero.
Without waiting for Aguero to speak, Yang Mo stopped the training, walked over and stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Finally someone can come to chat with me, you know, the training is really boring."
Facing such a friendly Yang Mo, Aguero was taken aback for a moment, and said blankly, "Hello, Captain..."
This is not the first time that Aguero and Yang Mo have met. On the first day of Yang Mo's resumption of training, he greeted Aguero and welcomed Aguero's joining as the captain.
However, in the following days, Yang Mo did not have any contact with Aguero because he was doing recovery training and did not have ball training, and the training time was different from others.
It can only be regarded as the second time so far that the two have spoken face to face.
As if seeing Aguero's bewilderment, Yang Mo smiled slightly, "This place will be lively soon, that guy Kompany will come every day, maybe De Jong will come too."
After Yang Mo finished speaking, Aguero finally regained his composure. He looked at Yang Mo's knee and asked, "Captain, how is your knee injury?"
"It's all healed, but after being idle for so long, my physical condition has declined a bit. I must hurry up and get back to my condition."
As Yang Mo said, he raised his legs and stretched, as if he was completely fine.
And his answer to Aguero was not polite.
During this period of injury, due to the lack of exercise, his technical talent can still be maintained through the virtual training ground, but his physical talent has inevitably declined in an all-round way.
In particular, the top two talents of speed and strength have all fallen below the legendary level. Recently, Yang Mo did not train with the ball, but focused on physical training for this reason.
For Yang Mo, although he hasn't played with his teammates for more than a month, he has played with everyone on the virtual training ground.
So tacit cooperation, ball feel or something is not a problem for him at all.
On the contrary, the training of physical talent is imminent. In fact, with the observation of systematic health testing, his understanding of his physical condition is more informative than the results of any hospital examination.
As long as the training is carried out according to the systematic arrangement, there is no need to worry about the recurrence of the injury if the intensity is too high.
After Yang Mo finished explaining, he briefly chatted with Aguero and made an appointment for a drink later.
Yang Mo can see that Aguero has his own arrogance, but he is not a difficult player to get along with. When getting along with such a person, the conflicts that the media may have between them may not appear.
After the conversation with Aguero was over, Yang Mo had just started training, and Dzeko, Kompany, De Jong, Minaur and others also came to training.
Everyone was acquaintances, and after a while, the training room became lively.
Finally, after the training, Yang Mo invited everyone to have a drink together.
Only in 2012, the system's restrictions on Yang Mo's drinking have been lifted.
Of course, the system will monitor the alcohol content in Yang Mo's body in real time, and if it exceeds the standard, it will warn Yang Mo.
But it's just a warning, whether Yang Mo listens or not is entirely up to Yang Mo himself.
The gathering where Yang Mo was the host this time can be regarded as helping Aguero get to know some of Manchester City's main players initially, and deepening everyone's relationship.
Of course, Yang Mo's first drinking in front of his teammates really surprised everyone.
The atmosphere of the party was good, and there was nothing wrong with it, so I won't go into details here.
In this way, in Yang Mo's day-to-day training, the time soon came to January 1th.
This day is an open day for media fans at Manchester City's training base. The permitted media and fans who have bought tickets can enter Manchester City's training base in Carrington.
As long as the fans do not disturb the training, they can even directly visit the training of the first team outside the stadium, of course, there will be an iron grille to separate.
And on this day, Yang Mo officially put on the training vest for the first time to practice with the ball.
Seeing Yang Mo on the field, many fans couldn't hold back their excitement. They ignored the publicity board next to the banning noise and began to shout Yang Mo's name loudly.
In addition to the fans, the reporters also turned on their cameras one after another, and began to capture the pictures of Yang Mo training on the field.
You can see that in the ongoing training match on the field, Yang Mo is still on the right side of the past, while the newly transferred Aguero is on the bench.
Judging from the situation of the training match, Yang Mo played very relaxed, obviously he was familiar with the game and didn't take it too seriously.
However, Yang Mo did not play for a long time in this training game, because the surrounding fans shouted too enthusiastically, and the media kept applying to the team for interviews. Mancini had to let Yang Mo deal with the fans and accept interviews.
Came to the sidelines, greeted the fans, signed autographs, and took photos. After last night, Yang Mo came to the media again.
Seeing Yang Mo approaching, a Chinese reporter asked loudly: "Yang Mo, I saw that you are ready for the training match, does it mean that you will play in the match against Tottenham the day after tomorrow?"
Yang Mo took a closer look and found that the person who asked the question was an acquaintance from Football Weekly. He didn't use English at all, and replied directly in Chinese: "I'm sure I will be included in the squad, but it's not certain whether I can start."
Yang Mo's Chinese answer made the other British journalists very confused, but fortunately, everyone has the recording equipment, and now they can find someone to translate if they don't understand, but it will definitely affect the speed of news release.
Of course, after answering the questions of compatriot journalists, British journalists cannot ignore them.
The reporter of The Times asked: "Yang Mo, we want to know how you handle the relationship with Aguero now. Is there any starting competition between the two of you?"
Hearing this question, Yang Mo spread his hands and said: "I think everyone has some misunderstandings between me and Aguero. I am the captain of Manchester City. I welcome any capable player to join Manchester City."
"As long as it can help Manchester City win, it doesn't matter who starts, and before kicking this question, I hope you get to know me well."
"From the Eredivisie to the Bundesliga, and now the Premier League, although I have not been in the profession for a long time, I have played in all striker positions. As long as the team needs it, I will not conflict with anyone's position."
Yang Mo's remarks can be regarded as the final explanation for his problem with Aguero.
This time, although Yang Mo did not answer many questions at the media fan open day, he revealed many key things.
In subsequent reports, many media have stated that there is no conflict between Yang Mo and Aguero, and Manchester City seems to have found a way for Yang Mo and Aguero to coexist.
In addition to the problems with Aguero, the most reported one is of course the news that Yang Mo will play in the game two days later.
Seeing the media reports, if you want to say that the most troublesome thing is Manchester City's opponent Tottenham two days later.
Finally, Yang Mo was injured, and Manchester City became a soft persimmon that everyone could pinch. Who would have thought that Yang Mo would come back before it was Tottenham's turn to pinch this persimmon.
Thinking back to the beginning of this season, Yang Mo led the team to kill Tottenham with 7 goals. In that game, Tottenham almost collapsed.
Fortunately, Tottenham finally recovered, and now they are overtaking Manchester City in the standings.
In this game, Tottenham defeated Manchester City and continued to beat Manchester City in the standings.
It was the return of the king of Yang Mo, defeating Tottenham and allowing Manchester City to regain their form.
The game hadn't started yet, because of Yang Mo, this game had completely become the focus of attention of the entire UK and even the world football world.
