Chapter 109 Shevchenko's Confusion (Finished Yesterday)
During the regular press conference before the game, Duncan appeared in front of everyone.

The league match a day later is naturally the most concerned, and the topic revolves around this.

The reporters were all used to Duncan's usual indifferent coffin face, but they didn't expect that Duncan, who appeared at the press conference, appeared to be in a low mood.

Duncan is not in a high mood, so what could be the reason?

The team has won six consecutive victories, which is the time when the spring equinox is proud.

Something went wrong with the team?
That was the only question the reporters could think of.

The reporters suddenly became excited. Good news is not news, gossip is their favorite.

Just like recently, among the top three most popular news, the hottest is Ronaldo's "prostitution door", followed by the England coach's "secretary door", and the third is the "Beckham ****" rumor.

Only the news that can attract the attention of the public is the news that the media want.

So the first reporter stood up with a feeling of excitement. Of course, on the surface, he had to put on a "sympathetic heart" and a compassionate expression.

"Manchester City has won six consecutive victories in all competitions, but the signing of Shevchenko as a striker has been controversial. Regarding such a signing, do you think you regret the introduction of Shevchenko? As far as I know, before the season you The target was Fernando Torres."

The reporter's question killed three birds with one stone. Firstly, he expressed doubts about Duncan, secondly, he mobilized the conflict between Duncan and Shevchenko, and finally Fernando Torres also lay down the gun.

"The issue of the striker line... I am also very troubled. Bianchi has not adjusted for a long time, Vassell is injured. If Andre doesn't prove himself... To be honest, I am thinking, is it too much for him? How stressful is it?"

Duncan's words didn't have any substance, but the reporters got even more excited.

Manchester City has no striker available, this is the news.

In the next day's newspaper, everyone analyzed the situation.

"...Although Manchester City's lack of strikers is an accident, if we analyze it carefully, we will find that it is not an accident at all. Almost everyone has shortcomings of one kind or another. This is the sequelae caused by the team's summer change. Duncan can't The reality of each player is well known, so in the end, it is largely due to the lack of information that has led to this situation."

"The most fundamental thing is actually the wrong expectation of Shevchenko. Duncan thought that buying a world-class striker would enrich the team's frontcourt, but he didn't expect that Shevchenko is only famous in the world now. , As for the level, it’s really hard to say. After more than a year in the Premier League, it can only prove that he is not suitable for the Premier League.”

"For a shooter, the most fearful thing is to lose the sense of smell in front of the goal. Because the result is to kill the professional life of the shooter. Now Shevchenko does not deny that his experience and skills are still there, but on the He has almost lost the sense of smell in front of the goal...Obviously Duncan has also seen this, so in the past few games, the Shevchenko we have seen is like a midfielder dodging like a striker..."

Coleman sat in front of the table with newspapers one after another. He had read all these newspapers.

He just sat there without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

Although mentally he is optimistic about defeating Duncan, but in the real game, he will not underestimate Duncan.Instead, he thought about his own countermeasures based on Duncan's words.

Pride and prejudice can never defeat an opponent.

The effect of Duncan's words on the opponent is still being tested, but it has an effect on his own people.

The next day, when he came to the team and was about to start a day of training,
Jim Cassell asked: "Steuben, is it true what you said in the press conference yesterday?"

He looked at Duncan worriedly. Duncan expressed his dissatisfaction with Shevchenko so clearly, and wondered if it would have counterproductive effects.

To express his dissatisfaction clearly in this way, either the head coach has already coerced the whole team and enjoys high prestige;

But if the target is Shevchenko, it's another matter.Shevchenko's brilliant experience determines that he is different from ordinary players.If the pressure is too hard, Shevchenko will fight back.

At that time, the whole team will be in turmoil.

Jim Cassell's question also represents the aspirations of most members of the coaching staff.

Duncan glanced at him, then at the other coaches, and finally at Andy Cole.

There seemed to be a smile in Andy Cole's eyes, which made Duncan feel that there was finally someone who could keep up with his thinking.So he smiled and said to a worried Jim Cassell, "Do you think I'm such a no-brainer?"

"Oh?" Hearing Duncan's words, Jim Cassell's expression relaxed.Although Duncan is sometimes very mysterious, he usually has a way of doing things and speaking, and he is not a brainless person.

"However, Steben's move is very dangerous." Andy Cole opened his mouth. He obviously understood Duncan's thoughts and goals early on.

"What are you... talking about?" Jim Cassell was at a loss.

"The thing is like this..." Duncan could only make his purpose clear.

Duncan believes that Shevchenko still has the ability, but he is not stimulated enough, so he cannot inspire his fighting spirit.

Shevchenko is now a player with good psychological quality. He has seen many storms and waves. It is difficult to stimulate him psychologically.So Duncan thought that there must be a special method.

This method is public pressure.

"As long as Andre's fighting spirit is aroused, the game will become a very simple matter." Duncan said.

"Then aren't you afraid of backfire?" Jim Cassell was dumbfounded.

"Compared with a quiet veteran, I hope he can be the former energetic Ukrainian nuclear warhead." Duncan seemed confident.

In this regard, Duncan is very confident.In 2012, Shevchenko, who reached the age of 37, was able to work so hard for a European championship and scored twice, so now the younger Shevchenko should not enter so early "Veteran Rhythm" too.

Manchester City has won consecutive battles recently, and basically all players have performed well, so the atmosphere in the dressing room is very good, and everyone is talking and laughing.But in today's locker room, the atmosphere is a bit weird.

To be precise, the atmosphere was good before, but as soon as Shevchenko came in, the atmosphere changed immediately.

The temperature in the locker room, which was originally peaceful and chatting and laughing, dropped several times in an instant, and everyone immediately fell silent.In the locker room, summer has directly entered winter.

Shevchenko didn't seem to notice it yet, and his expression was indifferent.Organize things, check packages, undress, change jerseys...

During the period, I talked to Martin Petrov, who was sitting next to me, and borrowed his shaving machine... because his jersey got a few balls.

Richards came out of the bathroom, wiped his head with a towel, and accidentally kicked over a soda can. As a result, the whole locker room was filled with the sound of cans "嘡嘡啷".

It was very still.

It wasn't until Shevchenko changed his clothes, took off his hair, put on his jersey, and walked out of the locker room that the serious atmosphere in the locker room eased.

The bustling voices gradually rose.

Trabelsi approached Richards: Guess whether Sheva and the boss will fight on the training ground today?

"Want to fight? Find me!" Captain Barton stood up.

No one noticed that after stepping out of the locker room, Shevchenko's normal face instantly dimmed.
