Five Hundred and Fifty-Six Deep Waterloo

What Gao Shen said was not wrong at all.

This nightmare for the players lasted for a full week, and they had not had time to adapt, and the intensity of the second week was further improved.

This made the players feel uneasy.

After entering the second week, the items of technical and tactical training increased significantly.

Some of Gao Shen's role positioning for players has also begun to become clear.

For example, Robben is basically fixed on the right, and Borrell also personally studied with Robben his right-sided cut, mainly some small moves, technical details, and timing.

Suarez is fixed in the forward center position, but he is very comprehensive, he can pull the side, he can retreat, he can play in any position, and he can do it with ease. This is the most rare thing.

For the time being, the position of Manchester City's attacking lineup is relatively fixed, but there will definitely be frequent crossovers in the future. At this time, Suarez's comprehensiveness will become crucial.

On the left, it has not yet been determined.

Robinho and Hazard are both physically challenged players. Unexpectedly, both of them persevered and did not fall behind in training. Even in the long-distance running after training, they have to die hard. live.

In one of them, Hazard was so tired that he fell to the ground directly during the long-distance running. He was photographed and posted on Twitter, mainly to affirm the hard work of the players, and to call Hazard's girlfriend Natasha. Natasha left a message below with two beating red hearts and expressed her distress, touch it.

The next morning, Hazard was full of energy, and went into training with energy.

Competitors are so hardworking, Robinho is under the pressure of the high and the competition, of course, not to be outdone, the two even appeared in the gym, wanting to further strengthen their physical strength.

Also active in the gym is Robben, who is more to build muscle and stay away from injuries.

In this regard, the high-level team has a wealth of experience and a prominent resume.

For example, Thiago Motta, he suffered a lot of injuries during his time at Barcelona, ​​but with the help of the advanced coaching staff, he was basically not injured during his time at Napoli, especially last season, he was almost full time Participated in the Champions League, which made Robben see hope.

The enthusiasm of these players has also led to the input of the players in the team.

Manchester City's training camp in Cape Town is also getting more and more enthusiastic.

In their spare time, the club will also hold a variety of activities to enrich the life of the players.

There was even a half day off on weekends to let everyone go diving.

False Bay in Cape Town is a world-renowned diving destination. Players travel at public expense to experience a beautiful underwater world.

...

As the head coach of the team, Gao Shen basically handed over the training to the coaching staff, and supervises it himself.

His main job on weekdays is chatting.

Although the players had more or less known about this habit of Gao Shen from the media before, but when they actually encountered it, it was still very strange, because Manchester City's current players come from all over the world, and their words are also various.

For example, Suarez, he doesn’t know how to speak English, so Gao Shen communicated with him in Spanish.

And like Neuer.

This kid speaks German, but in fact, his English is not bad.

Of course, Gao Shen can't speak German, but it doesn't prevent them from communicating in English, and the "learning" Gao Shen also took the initiative to learn German from Neuer, because he can't guarantee whether he will coach the Bundesliga one day in the future. team.

The most difficult thing is Giroud, this fellow only speaks French and English, so he doesn't know anything about it.

What made the whole team amazed was that even Giroud, Gao Shen had a way to chat with him through gestures and body movements, and he chatted in a good manner.

It really made everyone in the team stunned, and they couldn't accept it.

Especially in the training ground, in the second week, basically shouting aloud and doing an action, Giroud can understand it.

That efficiency is simply higher than anyone else!

To use analyst Lucas jokingly put it: "Now you know, his level of nagging far exceeds his level of coaching!"

The crowd exclaimed.

That being said, specifications are still important.

This time there are translators and English teachers with the team.

Gao Shen requires everyone in the team to master the most basic English communication in the training ground and on the pitch. In Manchester City's locker room, pitch and training ground, they can only communicate in English to achieve the unity of the whole team.

Therefore, during the period in Cape Town, South Africa, all those in the team who were not able to speak English had to use the time outside the training class to take time out for English training.

Gao Shen also encouraged the English players in the team to actively help teammates.

...

After two weeks of training in South Africa, Manchester City finally ushered in the first warm-up game, the first game of the Vodaken Cup Invitational.

The opponent is the local Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

In this game, Manchester City did not behave like a Premier League team at all, nor a strong team at all.

The pace is very slow, the pace is heavy, everyone seems to be unable to run, and the state is very bad, which makes many media reporters and fans who came for Manchester City feel very disappointed.

More importantly, many big-name players did not play, such as Robben, as well as Rakitic and David Luiz.

Goalkeeper: Shay.

Defense: Bridge, Gary Cahill, Mika Richards and Trippier.

Midfield: De Jong is behind, Ireland and Henderson are ahead.

Forwards: Adam Lallana, Giroud and Sturridge.

More importantly, Gao Shen directly let them play for more than an hour before starting to make substitution adjustments.

It is worth mentioning that Gareth Bell replaced Bridge and played his best left-back.

This is also an attempt by Gao Shen on him.

In Gao Shen's view, Gareth Bell is like a dragon-killing knife that opens and closes. He needs space to sprint. advantage, to forcibly impact the opponent's defense, and even create scoring opportunities.

The most typical is the battle of fame when he finished the explosion of Maicon.

In contrast, his skills are not very good, especially his small skills with the ball, which makes him not suitable for a position too high, so his most suitable position is still left back or left midfielder, or even right. The road is not suitable.

Of course, it's not that you can't kick, the key depends on how you use it.

With Gareth Bale's speed and impact, as well as his excellent physical fitness, he really rushes up and can't be stopped.

This is actually the biggest difference between him and his best friend Walcott.

Little Tiger became famous earlier, but his physical quality is really not as good as Gareth Bell, and the gap between the last two's career achievements is very different, which comes from this.

Therefore, Gao Shen is still studying how to use Gareth Bell.

The same is true for other players. Advanced studies must be conducted one by one, while listening to the players' own thoughts and opinions.

But all of these cannot hide one thing, that is, in the first warm-up match of Gao Shen in Manchester City, he lost to a South African team, which immediately caused an uproar.

The British media has seized the opportunity now!

The Sun reported the Manchester City fiasco on the front page.

Yes, although it was only one to two, the Sun newspaper used a fiasco to describe it, believing that Manchester City were out of shape throughout the game.

"Gao Shen and the Blue Moon Corps, who spent more than 200 million yuan, actually lost to the Orlando Pirates in Cape Town, South Africa."

"Well, the total value of everyone in the opposing team is less than 10 million euros."

The Sun believes that the aura of high magic is gone.

Other British media followed suit.

Since the game was not broadcast live, South Africa was relatively far away, and there were not many media reporters present. Everyone wrote reports chasing the wind. They basically believed that Manchester City was seriously out of shape, and the progress of integrating the team was slow, resulting in Manchester City losing to South Africa. Team, this is simply a great disgrace to a Premier League team.

"Such a team also wants to hit the championship in the Premier League in the new season?"

"It would be the biggest joke the Premier League has ever seen if a Manchester City like that were to win the title!"

I don't know if it was because of the broadcast effect of the TV program, or his sincere evaluation. He used to ridicule the famous Liverpool legend Alan Hansen, who could not win anything with Ferguson relying on a group of children, and this time he commented on Manchester City in his own program.

"With such a group of unscrupulous mercenaries, it is impossible for Gao Shen and Manchester City to succeed this season!"

Alan Hansen even asserted that the astronomical transfer fee of more than 200 million euros will become the heaviest burden to overwhelm Gao Shen and Manchester City, because in the past Premier League, and even in the history of the English top league, there has never been a football team. The team is as big and splurge as Manchester City.

"I can almost conclude that the Premier League in the new season will become the Waterloo of Gao Shen's coaching career!"

Gao Shen felt very inexplicable about the public opinion of the outside world.

He even wondered if these people didn't know the roster of the game and the training situation of Manchester City at all?

No matter how bad it is, they won't go to Italy to ask about it?

If it is said that Gao Shen's record in the official game is a world famous coach, then the result in the warm-up match, Gao Shen is estimated to be the level of a low-level league team.

In the words of Zidane once joked, it is too deep!

He always uses warm-up games to try some messes, to test some players, and to practice various tactics at the same time.

As a result, the teams that Gao Shen had coached performed extremely badly in the warm-up games, but once the official game arrived, everyone would find out, why is it completely different?

Perhaps, the British media know, but they pretend not to know.

Anyway, in the Premier League, it is politically correct to criticize Manchester City now.

Who makes Manchester City fewer fans? Even in Manchester, the number of Manchester City fans is far less than that of Manchester United. This can be seen from the difference in the number of fans who took to the streets to celebrate after the two teams won the championship.

Therefore, due to the needs of sales, of course, the audience for criticizing Manchester City is wider.

As for catering to Manchester City, this is too niche to feed those big media,

Because of this, after only losing a warm-up match, Manchester City was almost criticized for being completely undone.

Gao Shen is relatively good. After all, he no longer needs to prove himself, but he is still disliked by everyone.

Fortunately, in the second warm-up match, Manchester City beat Casa Chiefs 1-0.

As a result, he was still scolded.

The reason is that there are too few wins.

What a group of guys who have healed their scars and forgot the pain!
