At the end of the game, the Manchester United players fled. Van Gaal reached out his hand and touched Pegglerini with a gloomy face, then turned and entered the dressing room without saying a word.
Pergone's personality meant that he was unlikely to show any complacency at the post-match press conference, which made Manchester City fans quite unhappy.
"Obviously, the result of this game does not reflect the true strength of Manchester United. Out of respect for the players, I cannot say that this victory was due to luck, but we all know that football is often so strange. , Today we can beat Manchester United 7-0, and Manchester United may beat us 8-0 in the next game. Of course, we will do our best to prevent this from happening..."
Van Gaal searched and searched, but in the end it seemed that he could only throw the pot on the hanging wall.
"...I don't think there is a big gap between the two sides. In fact, the gap between us and Manchester City is only one Yang. He not only scored five goals himself, but also created the first goal. He alone Determines the game. Many times I don’t want to magnify the role of a certain individual in a game, but for this game, I have to admit that Manchester United did not lose to Manchester City, but just lost to Yang Feng. Manchester City just lost Good luck to have such a great player, that's all."
Van Gaal is a famous coach who "doesn't superstitious superstars". You can imagine how disgusting he felt when he said these words. However, Yang Feng was too lazy to add fuel to the fire to an old man and also attributed his performance to luck. , but what he said sounded like Versailles to other people's ears.
"Scoring five goals is of course very exciting, especially when the opponent is a strong team like Manchester United, but as you can see, many times I can only score one to three goals in a game. A goal, that’s me in my normal state. I’m very grateful that God was on my side in today’s game. I almost didn’t waste any opportunities..."
Regarding the statement that "Manchester United just lost to Yang Feng", Peglerini would certainly not admit it. Although he affirmed Yang Feng's great significance to Manchester City, he believed that the credit should belong to everyone, "Yang is part of Manchester City. , and is the most important part, but football is a team sport. The result of a game is determined by various comprehensive factors, such as pre-match preparations, formation and personnel arrangements, tactical choices, team chemistry, players Personal performance, etc., if I had to choose, I think the main reason why we won this game was cohesion. We all united well and worked hard for the same goal..."
The press conference ended in a relatively friendly atmosphere, but the comments from fans and reports from various media afterwards were certainly not so kind to Manchester United.
"Red Killer!"
"Manchester United nemesis!"
"Butcher!"
"The creator of tragedy!"
"Man City scored 7 goals in the game, paying tribute to Manchester United's legendary number!"
"Manchester City invites you to drink Seven-Up."
"The Chinese striker scored five goals and kicked off Van Gaal's true level!"
“I originally thought it was a top-level derby between Mars and the Earth, but I didn’t expect it to turn into a one-sided battle of annihilation. Manchester United suffered the biggest defeat in team history.
Yang Feng scored five goals and scored a total of 297 goals in his career. He is just shy of the 300-goal mark. These 297 goals include the 100 goals he scored for Schalke 04 and the 100 goals he scored for the national team. 27 goals, and the rest are his goals for Manchester City.
In other words, in two full seasons plus 4 games this season, Yang Feng has scored 170 goals for Manchester City, only 7 goals left behind the number of goals scored by Eric Brook, the top scorer in Manchester City's history. ! "
Of course, among the cynicism about Manchester United and the praise for Manchester City, there are also unconventional ones, accusing the Manchester City team of relying too heavily on Yang Feng, "In a 7-0 game, six goals were compared to Yang Feng. Related, this makes us have to wonder, will Manchester City still score goals without Yang? Maybe Van Gaal is right, the only thing that makes Manchester City better than Manchester United is that they have Yang Feng."
Both Ferguson and Wenger are supporters of this statement, but the former believes that the main reason is Manchester United itself: "I have coached many talented players and know how much impact a genius can have on a team. Young is that A peerless talent that can make a team even more unique. Of course, this does not become the reason for Manchester United's failure. When we lose, what we should think about most is why we are so weak, not why the opponent is so weak. So strong."
Wenger, on the other hand, is still brooding over not getting Yang Feng, "We were very close to Yang for a long time, well, about three months, when Yang was just at Schalke 04. When he emerged, I thought he would definitely become my player in the future, but unfortunately, what happened later was out of my control. I was fortunate enough to coach many great players, but unfortunately I passed by many outstanding guys. But now I have a strong feeling that missing Yang Feng may be the saddest thing in my life."
The excitement of this game will not subside in a short time. Whether Manchester City has Yang Feng dependence and, if so, how serious the symptoms are is destined to be a long-term issue, especially in the Premier League in a week's time. In the third round, after Manchester City once again relied on Yang Feng's brace to defeat Everton 2-0, the answer to this topic seemed to become clearer.
"Is Messi a system player?" and "Is Manchester City a one-man team?" are two topics that have been openly discussed on some football programs, and many guests have been arguing about them.
At this time, Pellegrini had already boarded a plane to Monaco with several important members of the team to participate in the Champions League draw ceremony held here.
"Hello, audience friends, this is the Grimaldi Convention Center in Monte Carlo. It is 17:45 local time in Monaco on August 28, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and the UEFA European Best Player Award. The ceremony will be held here soon. Yang Feng, Messi and Suarez have been selected as the best players in Europe. Let us see who will win in the end..."
There is actually no suspense about this award. Although the msn team destroyed everyone in Spain last season and also made it all the way to the finals in the Champions League, they were given a hat trick by Yang Feng in a direct conversation. In the end, he led Manchester City to successfully defend the title. Whether it was personal performance or team honors, Yang Feng surpassed Messi and Su Ya, not to mention his god-level performances such as five goals in eight minutes and a hat trick in the Champions League final.
Messi's only chance to surpass Yang Feng was the Copa America that just ended this year. Unfortunately, in the final, Argentina was defeated by Chile through a penalty kick. After Messi's 2007 Copa America and 2014 World Cup, this was his third adult appearance in the competition. If the national team loses in the final, it will naturally not make him the best player.
It's just that although the result is no suspense, when the final answer is announced, it still makes people feel a little bit embarrassed.
There were 54 votes in total, and Yang Feng got 51 votes alone...
"... The fifty-four media representatives present have already cast their sacred votes. Let's see the results... Oops! How can this... gap be so big? Yang Feng 51 votes, Messi 2 votes, Suarez Si 1 vote, this is a crushing advantage..."
The original time and space selected Messi with 49 votes, while Su Ya and Cristiano Ronaldo received only 3 votes and 2 votes respectively. The gap is also quite outrageous.
Next comes the selection of the best goal.
The wonderful goal Messi scored by knocking Boateng off was impressive, but when it comes to the magic goal, Yang Feng has never been afraid of anyone. The audience can even imagine the entanglement of the judges during the selection. Finally, the physics-defying S-shaped free kick that Yang Feng scored against Juventus was successfully selected.
Two prizes were pocketed, and the points became 30.
It was enough to draw another purple card, but Yang Feng saved it this time.
He has no shortcomings on the offensive end now. He is full of SS and even SSSS. It is better to save the points and wait for the orange card to be unlocked before drawing.
"In the 2014-2015 season, Yang Feng led Manchester City to six championships and scored a total of 78 goals and 26 assists in the Premier League and Champions League. He is well-deserved as the best player in Europe!"
Yang Feng stood up amidst the applause of the audience. Messi and Su Ya beside Messi also stood up and hugged him.
The camera showed the seats of Real Madrid in a meaningful way. The camera guy was supposed to be looking for Ronaldo, but the president didn't arrive at the scene at all.
Yang Feng came on stage and as usual thanked his teammates, coaches and the club, and then looked forward to this season, "We won a lot of honors through hard work last season, but the past is over. We must not only continue the glory of the past, but also create A greater miracle..."
The gold content of Europe's best player is far from that of the Ballon d'Or. Awards are just that. The main event today is the Champions League draw.
"Starting from this season, there are some changes to the tiering rules for Europe's top 32 teams.
The teams in the first pot are the defending champion Manchester City and the top 7 teams in the official UEFA rankings. The other teams that qualify for the competition are divided into the second, third and fourth pots according to the European War points, and one team is drawn from each pot. The teams form a group, with a total of 8 groups.
The grouping principle adopts the avoidance principle of the same league, and the Russian League and the Ukrainian League avoid each other.
The new gear classification rules have caused strong teams such as Real Madrid and Manchester United to fall into the second gear, greatly increasing the probability of the death group appearing.
It is worth mentioning that Astana will become the first Kazakh team to participate in the Champions League, while the Bundesliga's Monchengladbach and Belgium's Genk will also make their UEFA Champions League debuts. "
The so-called "top 7 teams in UEFA's official ranking" are actually the champions of the other seven leagues outside the Premier League last season, namely Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, Benfica, Paris Saint-Germain, Zenit and PSV Eindhoven. So As a result, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, etc. have all become second-tier teams, and the chance of a strong showdown has greatly increased.
The host of this draw is still UEFA Secretary General Infantino and Competition Director Marchetti. The guest of draw is the legendary goalkeeper Zubizarretta. The ambassadors of the Champions League final are the two Milanese Zanetti and Maldini. team leader.
The first seeded team to be drawn was Manchester City. The defending champion was placed in Group E. The other seven seeded teams also entered the group respectively. The most watched teams were Barcelona and Bayern. Entered Group B and Group F respectively.
In this way, b, e, and f have become three groups that everyone hates.
After Zubizarretta, another Barcelona star Beretti took the stage to draw the second team.
The first one to go ashore was Atletico Madrid. They were drawn into Group C and successfully avoided three monsters.
The shooter was drawn second and immediately won the prize.
"Arsenal, Group F, they are in the same group as Bayern Munich!"
The third one is Manchester United.
Van Gaal, who just experienced a disastrous defeat, is now in dire straits. The Champions League has become his only life-saving straw. The Dutch coach's eyes are fixed on the stage.
Because of the group avoidance principle, they will not enter Group E, and then exclude the already selected Group C and Group F. As long as they avoid Group B, where Barcelona is located, everything will be fine.
The probability of one in five shouldn’t be so unlucky...right?
"Manchester United, Group B! They are in the same group as last season's runner-up Barcelona! Van Gaal also coached Barcelona. I don't know what kind of answer he will come up with this time when facing his old club..."
"..."
"What are you afraid of..."
"This script makes me want to vomit."
"Why is it always targeting Manchester United?"
"Yeah, why?"
Yang Feng looked at Messi and said: "Congratulations, this Manchester United has been crippled by me, I can abuse it as much as I want."
"...I thank you."
Porto on the stage was drawn out and entered Group G.
Then there's Real Madrid.
Now it was the first team's turn to be nervous.
No one wants to encounter this first-tier team wearing second-tier skins, except Manchester City.
The result... "Real Madrid, Group E! In the same group as defending champion Manchester City!"
This time it was Messi's turn to congratulate Yang Feng.
"Congratulations, Real Madrid, interesting opponent, isn't it?"
"Don't worry, I will cripple them in the Champions League," Yang Feng said. "I will do what you can't do."
Messi, Su Ya: "!?"
On Real Madrid's side, Ancelotti's face immediately turned as disgusting as Van Gaal's. Ronaldo, who was hiding at home watching the live broadcast, couldn't help but clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the palm of his left hand hard, "That's it! This is the most important thing." Good opponent!"
"...Okay, all the groups have been completed, let's take stock of which death groups have been born."
“First is Group B, where Barcelona and Manchester United will meet again;
Next is Group D where Juventus is located. They met last season's Premier League runner-up Chelsea;
Group E, the most interesting group, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Roma met together;
Group F, Bayern Munich and Arsenal…”
