Chapter 243 Pretentious Emperor Phil Brown (6100)

In the subsequent press conference, Duncan was in a slump and didn't say much.

The media didn't think it was disobedient, but felt that Duncan didn't care about the second-to-last game in the league. After all, from the score point of view, Manchester City won extremely easily.

They think Duncan's thoughts are all in the midweek Champions League.

The team won, and when Duncan returned to the locker room, he announced that the team would have a day off as usual, and the players cheered.

The next morning, while eating breakfast, Duncan read the newspaper.

Manchester City's victory over Bolton at the top of the table dominated the headlines.

And under this news, there is another short message: After careful consideration, Bolton Club decided to continue to trust the team's head coach Megson, and Mr. Megson will continue to lead Bolton to relegation in the rest of the season.

Seeing the news, Duncan felt a little better.

As the Premier League becomes more and more commercialized, there are fewer and fewer coaches such as Wenger and Ferguson who have been coaching a team for a long time. For the sake of performance, the head coach of each team will change frequently.

The living space of small teams will also become less and less.

It's like Megson's brain hole.

Duncan could tell that Megson was a normal person, and the reason why he had a six-year-old brain hole was because Bolton faced Manchester City, no matter from any angle, there was no possibility of winning, so Megson took the risk of.

They were all forced, baby!

At this time, Duncan is glad that he has a midfielder like Toure.

There is a saying that six softnesses are not as good as one hardness, and short sticks are not as good as long spears!
Then Duncan looked through the daily newspapers of the day.

Manchester City bloodbathed Bolton away and earned six goal difference. Naturally, they continue to rank first and lead the standings.

On the other side of the standings, Tottenham, which was ranked last when Lao Lei took over, was suddenly possessed by the Holy Spirit and turned around. This round of the league ushered in a strong rebound opportunity.

After chasing two goals in stoppage time in the last round and drawing with Arsenal 4:4, this round of Tottenham is like the god of war possessed, challenging Liverpool 2:1 at home.

Liverpool suffered their second defeat of the season.

You must know that Liverpool tied for first place with Manchester City, but only ranked second because of goal difference.

Absolutely unpopular!
The final victory whistle blew, and the 61-year-old Lei almost slipped and knelt at White Hart Lane.

Tottenham fans burst into tears.

As the bottom one in the league and defeating the second in the league, where did Tottenham fans feel this feeling?
At that moment, he became a hero there!
With this victory, Tottenham Hotspur overtook Bolton and rose to 19th.

The media are touting that Lao Lei joining Tottenham is the most correct choice and so on.

They didn't expect that Tottenham, who were holding back their strength, would rebound so violently after bottoming out!
And Lao Lei even drew with Arsenal, defeated Liverpool, and scored consecutive points against strong teams.

It makes people wonder whether Lao Lei went to Liverpool Rural University to study and grabbed the aura of a strong team.

Of course, Manchester City is also an external beneficiary of Tottenham's victory. They dropped Liverpool and led the standings alone with 26 points.

From this point of view, Duncan and Lao Lei can have a drink together.

You help me get rid of the second in the league, and I help you get promoted to the bottom two.

How are you guys!

But it is obviously not possible, because in the next league game, the two sides will have an encounter in the league.

Brothers, we must settle accounts clearly!
Duncan continued to read the paper.

There was another game that caught his attention.

Manchester United defeated Hull City 4:3, and the two teams scored a big score.

Of course, what is even more surprising is that the small team Hull City was able to beat Manchester United to the ground at Old Trafford.

Of course, in the end it was Sir Alex Ferguson's sophistication that suppressed the uprising in Hull.

After this game, Hull City ranked No.5 in the standings.

You must know that this is the first time in Hull City's 104-year history that it has broken into the top league.

This score is awesome.

It stands to reason that Hull City should be very happy to be able to push Manchester United to this point.

After the game, Hull City coach Phil Brown summed up the game unsmilingly: "Is Manchester United strong? I don't think so. We were the league champions last season, but Manchester United were not. The champion lost because of bad luck."

Phil Brown's words were picked up by the reporters and put in the newspaper as they were.

Through the newspaper, Duncan could smell a strong smell of pretense.

This guy pretended to be at Old Trafford.

It is said that when Ferguson heard this sentence, he was in a bad mood.

"This buddy, are you here to be funny?"

Duncan laughed dumbfounded and stopped asking.

By the way, I glanced at the schedule and wanted to see which game between Manchester City and Hull City was.

It was discovered that the game against Hull City was actually after Tottenham's game.

I don't know what this guy will pretend to be when he arrives at the city stadium.

Thinking about it, I still have a little expectation.

The lead in the league makes Duncan a little relieved. After all, Liverpool's performance this season is quite tenacious.It has been keeping pace with Manchester City before, and it was not until the 11th round of the league that they were left behind by three points.

With such a strong midfielder, I believe they will be very tenacious this season.

……

The game with Bolton is over, and it's time for the Champions League again.

The home game against Atletico Madrid is actually not very stressful.

Even if they lose the game, the possibility of Manchester City advancing is still very high.

The continuous campaign in the league made the players a little tired, so Duncan rotated some players.Especially Shevchenko, playing against Bolton, was shoveled by the opponent's players with wounds on his legs. Duncan specially arranged for him to rest in this game.

In addition, Aguero, Otamendi, Lichtsteiner, Martin Petrov, Richards, Diego Lopez all got the chance to play in rotation.

Originally, Duncan wanted Sun Jihai to play, but he was injured in training, so Duncan could only continue to let Heinze start.

The rest of the main force must be carried out. Duncan didn't expect to see crutches on the bench in January and February.

The goal Duncan set for everyone before the game was not to lose.

As long as they don't lose, they can qualify two rounds ahead of schedule in this group.

Qualifying is very important, but it doesn't have to be this game.

Javier Aguirre, the head coach of Atletico Madrid, maintained his relatively conservative formation in the away game.

The goalkeeper is Franco's defense, followed by Peña, Heitinga, Perea and Antonio Lopez.

The midfield is Raul Garcia, Assuncao, Maniche, Maxi Rodriguez, Simão.

On the front line is the single arrow Fran.

Atletico beat Mallorca in the league last weekend, their first victory in almost a month.This also brought their league ranking to sixth place.

For Atletico Madrid, the league is the most important.

Although both Duncan and Aguirre are the kind of head coaches who prefer to use simple players, they don't agree with each other at all.

As a head coach, you are either very capable or stubborn.

Aguirre belongs to the old stubborn type with a coffin face. Anyway, after 90 minutes of the game, Duncan has never seen this guy smile.

Well, well, I don't blame him. I lost four goals, but it's actually hard to laugh.
