Six Hundred and Eighty Nine the Best in the World
The ninth round of the league is an unforgettable round for all Premier League fans.
Although there is the Champions League in the middle of the week, the strong teams have basically won.
Chelsea beat Wolves 2-0, Manchester United beat Stoke City 2-1, Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1...
But Manchester City slaughtered Arsenal 8-0 at home!
This game was like a bolt from the blue, which completely shocked the entire Premier League and even the entire European football world.
Everyone knows that Manchester City is very strong. After winning the Premier League last season, they invested more than 100 million euros this summer. Can they not be strong?
But no one would have thought that Manchester City could be so strong.
Although Arsenal's performance this season is not as good as before, but anyway, the team also has famous stars such as Cesc Fabregas, Rosicky, Arshavin and Theo Walcott, and there are also Julu and Kolo Touré in the defense. Such a titan sits in town.
What about Manchester City?
In the middle of the week, they had just beaten Inter Milan in an away game, and Gao Shen made a big rotation of the starting lineup.
Before the game, everyone thought that Manchester City had a high probability of winning, but it was absolutely unexpected that they could win such an astonishingly large score.
Eight to zero, tying the worst defeat in Arsenal's history!
Wenger even bluntly stated in the post-match press conference that this was the worst game of his coaching career.
The whole world was stunned!
The Times columnist Saki even wrote an article saying that even if Manchester City played with a full substitute lineup this season, they are qualified to reach the top four in the league and even hit the championship. This 8-0 rout of Arsenal is the best. good proof.
Who can refute?
Saki said that Gao Shen has basically understood the tactics of professional football. Now he can arrange various tactics as he likes, use every player in the most suitable position for him, and let the whole team flow smoothly. up and running.
"He proved once again that he is one of the best managers on the planet."
Sacchi even said that it is estimated that there are no more than five head coaches in the world who have entered this [one].
This is a great admiration for the profound!
The top five in the world, even if they are only active head coaches, are all well-known figures.
But Sacchi quickly said, "If you consider the current coaching ability, it is very likely that this [one] can not be used."
What do you mean?
That is to say, Gao Shen may be the world famous coach with the highest level of coaching in the current football world!
Saki has always held the title of No. 1 blowing in Tianzi, but this blowing method like this is really the first time.
But coincidentally, the French newspaper L'Equipe also focused on this game, thinking that the high level of coaching is obviously better than when he coached Naples, and has reached a state of pure love.
German Bild also believes that although Gao Shen's coaching in Manchester City has been controversial, and many people questioned that he was playing gold dollar football, it is undeniable that Gao Shen has created a competitive team for Manchester City.
This season, Manchester City is known for its rotation strength. This is a strategy formulated by Gao Shen after learning from the experience and lessons of last season's winter break. The team's bench lineup is very strong, and the team is also advancing on both fronts.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage, they were placed in the same group as Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Schalke 04, but Manchester City won three consecutive victories, and qualifying is just around the corner; in the Premier League, Manchester City also won nine consecutive victories, making a great comeback The great feat of winning the half-time championship with 19 consecutive victories last season.
"Gao Shen proved to the whole world that even if he plays Jinyuan football, he can play it differently from everyone else!"
The bloodbath of Manchester United last season and the bloodbath of Arsenal this season, under Gao Shen's coaching, Manchester City has never lacked hearty victories, even when facing strong teams.
"When a Premier League team, even the second team, has the strength to enter the top four in the league, then what reason does this team not become the biggest favorite to win the championship?"
Bild believes that if the Premier League teams cannot show more courage and catch up with Manchester City in terms of signings, then the Premier League in the next few years is likely to become the world of Manchester City.
What Bild said is exactly what many British media and fans are worried about.
They are all afraid of Manchester City's dominance.
Manchester City itself has strong financial resources, and Gao Shen is known for being good at finding players. After investing huge sums of money, each of the players he has discovered and cultivated has achieved high prices and satisfactory strength, and Manchester City as a whole has also become more powerful.
In this case, what do other teams use to fight Manchester City?
Wenger said in an interview with the media after the game that the FA, the Premier League, and even UEFA should come up with better coping strategies to avoid a situation like Manchester City.
"We all know their business model is unsustainable and unhealthy."
Wenger's meaning is obvious, backed by a big financial backer, Manchester City's victory is invincible.
Regarding the accusation from Wenger, Gao Shen just laughed it off.
"I can beat Arsenal without spending a lot of money and I've shown that in Napoli."
Gao Shen smiled confidently.
As for the disputes over Manchester City's debt signings and big sponsors, Gao Shen said that these are all normal.
"When it comes to debts, I believe that Arsenal's debts will not be less than ours. They are all debts. Why should they be treated differently?"
Gao Shen also revealed that Manchester City's revenue hit a record high last season, and it is expected that this season will reach another level.
"We have been working hard to generate income. I believe that in the near future, Manchester City will definitely achieve profitability one day."
...
In fact, Manchester City is not invincible.
At least in the League Cup, Manchester City was eliminated.
On the one hand, this has something to do with the tastelessness of the League Cup, but at the same time, because Gao Shen doesn't pay much attention to this event, he played with a young lineup.
But this also comes with an advantage.
It's as if after Arsenal's midweek, other teams have to be distracted by the League Cup, but Manchester City can take a comfortable holiday.
A week later, the tenth round of the Premier League ushered in, and Manchester City challenged Wolves away.
Due to the UEFA Champions League group match next Wednesday, Gao Shen will undergo a substantial rotation again.
In the home game, the head coach of the Wolves, McCarthy, obviously also learned the previous experience and lessons, and strictly guarded against death.
It was not until the 36th minute of the first half that Yaya Toure assisted Van Persie to score a goal and opened the scoring for Manchester City.
After changing sides in the second half, Yaya Toure scored a goal for Manchester City in the 50th minute.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Wolves 2-0 away.
This also made the British media generally believe that the best way to face Manchester City is to strictly guard against it.
If you really want to play against each other, everyone will die miserably.
In this round of the game, Arsenal beat West Ham United 1-0 and walked out of the shadow of a big defeat.
Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and other teams have all won, among which Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur.
...
Three days later, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.
For Manchester City, this is a decisive battle. Facing Inter Milan, as long as Manchester City can win their opponents, they will be able to qualify as the top of the group stage.
Mourinho's Real Madrid is a guest challenge Schalke 04.
Both games were decisive.
If Real Madrid can defeat Schalke 04 in an away game, they will get valuable three points and almost lock in the group qualifying in advance, while Schalke 04 and Inter Milan can only compete for the third place in the group.
Sitting at home, Gao Shen still formed a four-three-three lineup, with Gareth Bale, Suarez and Robben as the frontcourt trident, plus David Silva, Rakitic and Harvey Martin Ness midfielder.
From the beginning of the game, Manchester City took advantage of the home court and launched a fierce attack on Inter Milan.
Especially the two wings where Gareth Bale and Robben are located.
Leonardo's tactics are obviously more stable than those at Meazza two weeks ago, but Manchester City's offense is sharper, especially the two wings, which are more flexible.
Bell and Robben kept harassing on the wing and creating chances.
However, Manchester City's midfielder used the advantage of passing and possession of the ball, constantly pulling and shifting, so that Inter Milan's defense kept getting into trouble, and in the 28th minute of the first half, Gareth Bale was used. Rakitic then split to the right. After Robben stopped the ball and passed Qiwu, he volleyed with his left foot and scored.
After changing sides in the second half, less than eight minutes into the game, David Silva flexibly got rid of Zanetti's entanglement when he took the ball in the middle and sent a through ball. Suarez stopped the ball sideways Going behind Lucio, throwing off Inter Milan's defense, near the penalty spot in the penalty area, kicked and hit the goal.
Two to zero!
Leading by two goals, Inter Milan began to increase their offensive efforts.
Inter Milan, which only scored one point in the first three rounds, is in a precarious situation for qualifying, and Leonardo's coaching position has also been greatly shaken. If he loses this battle again, he will have no chance to stand up.
But once Inter Milan attacked, the loopholes behind them were immediately exposed.
Harvey Martinez made a long pass to split the side. Robben dribbled the ball all the way, rushed from his own half to the right side of Inter Milan's penalty area, faced Qiwu, suddenly changed to cut in, and passed diagonally to the big To the left of the goal in the penalty area.
Gareth Bale rushed to the goal, did not stop the ball and shot directly with his left foot, sending the ball into Inter Milan's goal.
Three to zero!
Manchester City fans cheered at the Etihad Stadium.
Gareth Bale also excitedly vented his joy of scoring, celebrating the goal with his teammates on the sidelines.
Gao Shen was on the sidelines with an expression of victory.
Four consecutive victories, 12 points, and basically qualified ahead of schedule as the top of the group.
In theory, there is only one possibility for Manchester City to lose the top spot in the group, and that is Real Madrid defeats Schalke Zero Four, and then in the remaining two rounds, Manchester City loses all and Real Madrid wins all.
But that's hardly realistic.
Gao Shen will never give up the first place in the group, even if the team is Real Madrid.
Because he knows better than anyone how obvious the benefits of being first in the group are to a team like Manchester City.
Both Gao Shen and Manchester City are determined to win!
"By the way, what happened to Real Madrid and Schalke Zero Four?"
Gao Shen walked back to the coaching bench of the home team and asked Fernando Lucas.
He still cares about his old club.
