Chapter 266 Dedicated to You (29100)

"It's unexpected to be able to win such an award." Shevchenko glanced at the trophy in his hand: "To be able to win such an honor at this age, I think, my emotion now is gratitude."

"My first World Footballer was dedicated to my teacher, Mr. Lobanovsky. He was my first coach, he taught me how to play football, how to become a qualified professional player, until I went to AC Milan."

"After coming to the Premier League, I experienced a low point. At this time, a person appeared in front of me and brought me to Manchester City."

"He told me that I haven't reached retirement age yet. I can still run, I can still score goals, I can still..." Shevchenko glanced at the trophy in his hand: "Give me a chance to win the world championship." trophy."

"I just want to say, Steben, thank you." Shevchenko faced Duncan, raised the trophy in his hand, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Live TV footage was given to Duncan.

Duncan gave thumbs up with both hands, praising this beloved disciple who was older than himself.

There was a burst of applause at the scene, applauding for the pair of master and apprentice.

They can feel the sincere feelings in Shevchenko's heart.

After the awards show, Duncan flew back to Manchester with the players.

Back in the Premier League, before the 22nd round match against Wigan Athletic, Duncan and Andriy Shevchenko showed the best coach and the World Footballer's trophy in front of the fans at home.

The fans of Manchester City used cheers to praise these two coaches and players who had won the highest honor.

This is our first World Coach of the Year and World Footballer of the Year, and it is also our first step towards a wealthy family!
This game was encouraged by the home fans. Manchester City's team was full of momentum, and Wigan Athletic was overwhelmed and could only lose.

5: 1!
Shevchenko, who had just ascended the throne of the World Footballer of the Year, kicked his head and kicked his head and completed a hat-trick.

To those who doubted him, came a powerful counterattack!

Fellaini, who started the game, also performed very steadily and scored a goal.

Ashley Young, who just joined the team, also contributed his first assist in the first game since joining.

However, Ashley Young's substitution was not an active substitution, but a passive substitution of Ashley Young after Heinze was injured.

As a left back for the first time, Ashley Young performed well.

After the game, Heinze will miss two weeks.

In the standings, Manchester City leads with 55 points.

Liverpool and Manchester United, both winners, are five and seven points behind respectively.

Chelsea barely beat Stoke City 2:1, Scolari added another game.

Arsenal lost another game. With 35 points, they have fallen behind ahead of schedule...

There is also Bolton. In January, Bolton's good momentum began to take a turn for the worse. Although they are now ranked 1th with 12 points, they are only 23 points more than Blackburn, who is ranked 17th.

The relegation situation is worrying.

After the team lost 0:3 to Manchester United in this round, Bolton's board immediately fired Megson.

This imaginative coach fought hard to catch up after losing to Duncan, and also won the best head coach of the month. However, every step of the Premier League game was treading on thin ice, and finally get out of class.

After this game, the Premier League took a ten-day break and it was time for the Cup.

Main players, take a breather.

The professional team used these days to formulate a short-term muscle fatigue recovery plan for the players to ensure that the players have the physical fitness to keep up with the games in February, March and April.

If one of these games does not perform well, let alone the team, all previous efforts this season will be wasted.

Among them, the two-round Champions League knockout match against Real Madrid in February and March is the top priority.

Take a breath and start sprinting!

……

Fortunately for Duncan, during the entire winter break, only two players, Hargreaves and Heinze, were injured, but having corresponding players on top did not have a great impact on the team's record.

And Hargreaves has recovered from his injury and can be put into the game.

However, after expert consultation, although Hargreaves can participate in the competition, there are still some hidden dangers in his knee and calf.Finally, in the second half of the season, less intensive schedules for Hargreaves should be arranged, and regular inspections should also be coordinated.

Duncan, in Hargreaves' presence, solemnly agreed to do it for him.

"Harg, come here at least twice a week for inspections." Duncan said to Hargreaves.

"Oh, yes, boss." Hargreaves agreed with some confusion, why did the boss look at his expression as if he was seeing a patient?

On January 1, in the second round of the League Cup semi-final, Manchester City ushered in Burnley.After defeating the opponent 22:3 in the first round, this second round has become a cutscene.

And Burnley is obviously more absent-minded than Manchester City.

Duncan sent substitutes and young players to play, and easily won the opponent 4:1.

With a total score of 7:1, Manchester City advanced to the final with their heads held high.

In the other semi-final, Manchester United also sent a substitute lineup. They defeated Derby County 1:0 in the away game, thus advancing with a total score of 4:1 and winning another ticket to the final.

After the UEFA Super Cup, the League Cup final once again became a city derby between Manchester City and Manchester United.

In the Premier League, Manchester United made great efforts in the future, closely following Manchester City.

On January 1, the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester City take on Derby County.

Derby County was both happy and helpless, happy that the two teams ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the Premier League visited the Pride Park Stadium within two days. This is definitely a big ticket revenue.

Helplessly, when meeting such a wealthy team, the possibility of winning is much smaller.

Salted fish also have dreams, but the salted fish in Derbyshire is obviously not salty enough.

Manchester City, who still played with most of the substitute lineup, won the away game cleanly 2:0 and successfully advanced to the fifth round.

In the cup match, the substitute players are given ample opportunity to compete officially, while the main players rest to recover their strength.

That's Duncan's guideline.

……

After the cup, the league starts again.

In the 23rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City sat at home and played with the main force. They won Newcastle 2:1.

In the game on the same day, Manchester United, the third in the league, also won, and they continued to catch up with Duncan.

The second Liverpool game in the league is on the second day.

"I want to know whether Mr. Benitez's Liverpool can still stand firm. If they lose this round, they will fall to No.3." At the press conference after the game, Duncan told Benitez shouted.

"Psychological warfare is all leftovers. With such a trick, who can we bluff? Our team will definitely be able to score three points!" Benitez responded thoughtfully.

But his words stimulated Wigan Athletic.

Although Wigan Athletic is actually a big team, they still can't stand when you have ridicule coming out of your mouth.

So Wigan Athletic decided to give Benitez a little look.

Duncan's words seemed to have really come true.

At the J*** Stadium, Wigan Athletic showed their tenacious side to the tenacious Red Army.

And Benitez, who wanted to be tenacious, did not expect Wigan Athletic to be so tenacious.

2: 1!
Liverpool lost.

Seeing the final score at the J*** Stadium, Benitez's mood was completely chilled. He could already imagine the scene where he was blackened into carbon after this game.

Liverpool, who lost, had a gap of 8 points with Manchester City.

Manchester United surpassed Liverpool by 1 point and came to second place in the league. They are 7 points behind Manchester City.

In another game, Chelsea 2-0 Middlesbrough, Scolari renewed his life again.
