Chapter 626 Premier League Opening

Chapter 626 Premier League Opening

The coaching staff still had some disagreements about whether to let Balotelli start in the first round of the league, but in the end Gao Bo decided to keep his promise. Since he said that the striker with the most goals in the warm-up match can start, then let Balotelli start. That is, the thing is on the table.

In Manchester City, Gao Bo still emphasizes the overall ground coordination and promotion tactics. At the same time, unlike Atletico Madrid, in order to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, he requires the passing to be simpler and more aggressive!

In a backcourt like La Liga, in the fast pace of the Premier League, the possibility of mistakes may increase, and from the lineup point of view, this Manchester City lineup is indeed suitable for playing fast.

Whether it is Eriksen in the midfield or David Silva, these are all players who are very good at receiving and moving in the frontcourt, and flexible players, while Hazard and Griezmann on both sides are like two Only fists, Manchester City's main attack point, is to create opportunities for the two flanks.

Therefore, the choice of center will not have much impact on the team's tactics, which is why Gao Bo dared to let Balotelli start.

......

The Premier League opener of the 2012-2013 season was between West Ham and Aston Villa in a very dull game between the two teams at the Bubble Stadium, with a tug of war in midfield that continued until the end of the game. In the 78th minute, the deadlock of the game was finally broken. With a corner kick, West Ham United defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at home and got a good start.

After that, the Premier League games started in full swing.

City's game started the day after the opener, with a challenge from Southampton at the Etihad Stadium.

Regarding the result of this game, most media believe that Manchester City will easily win at home, and it is difficult for Southampton to challenge Manchester City.

However, there is a lot of speculation about Manchester City's starting lineup.

Especially in the midfield, because of the introduction of Casemiro and Eriksen this season, there has been a lot of discussion among fans about whether these two new players will start.

The mainstream view is that both Casemiro and Eriksen are just supplements to Manchester City's midfield, and it is difficult for them to appear in the starting list.

Because now Manchester City's midfield, there are David Silva, Yaya Toure, Barry and others, Casemiro and Eriksen have never played in the Premier League before, and they have not played in the five major leagues. Other leagues have proven themselves, and these two players may struggle to find a place in Manchester City's midfield.

As for the candidates on the striker, people think that there will be no change. Griezmann and Hazard, these two players are the two most expensive players introduced by Manchester City this season. Griezmann cost Manchester City 1.5. 100 million, while Hazard spent 35 million pounds.

In general, Gao Bo did not continue to spend a lot of money on signings. This is not for Manchester City to save money - the Abu Dhabi consortium does not need him to save money. But Gao Bo felt that his lineup was enough. Even if he changed all Manchester City's lineup, it would be meaningless, because in his opinion, he did not need top stars in every position.

Because he still has cards! He won the Champions League and La Liga last season, which enriched his card configuration. In this game, his card configuration should be based on the balance of offense and defense.

In terms of defense, the interceptor card must be equipped.

The physical fitness card is also a card that Gao Bo likes to use very much. In the final stage of the game, the advantage of physical fitness will allow the team to continuously suppress the opponent. In addition to that, on offense, Gao Bo is equipped with an orange card.

[Match card (orange): shooting percentage +15%; cutting power +15%]

This is the card that Gao Bo chose after winning the Champions League.

This card is completely equipped to play the advantages of both sides. Hazard kicks his right foot to the left, Griezmann kicks his left foot to the right, and Gao Bo completely uses the two players as reverse-footed wingers.

Cutting inside the goal is one of the main offensive methods of the reverse-footed winger, so it is necessary to do something in this regard.

As for the center, Gao Bo's requirements are not too high. Therefore, even if Balotelli starts, Gao Bo feels that there is no major problem.

Can Balotelli score?

He just needs to act as a restraint.

After shaking hands with the Southampton manager, Gao Bo sat on the bench amid cheers and applause from the fans at the Etihad Stadium.

The TV picture has been written to Goport.

This is Gao Bo's first game in the Premier League, and it seems to be somewhat commemorative.

"Gao Bo is no stranger to this stadium. He beat Manchester City in the FA Cup two years ago! Now, he has returned to England with the aura of a European champion coach. At the helm of the Etihad! Where will Manchester City take him? We'll see."

Commentator Letkinson said.

When the players from both sides stood in the player tunnel and lined up to play, Sky TV's commentator Letkinson was already sitting in the commentary box at the Etihad Stadium. After speaking, he picked up a document, which is The start of the game.

"It seems that all of us guessed wrong!!" Letkinson said when he saw Manchester City's starting list. "In this game, Coach Gao Bo's starting lineup was unexpected, and not many people can even guess it!"

"The first is the goalkeeper. The starting goalkeeper is the young Oblak. The goalkeeper born in 1993 is only 19 years old this year. He replaced Hart in the starting position!"

Not only Letkinson, but even Manchester City fans were surprised that Oblak started.

Joe Hart, as England's national goalkeeper, has been Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper since October 2007, and it has been five years now.

Although the outside world often ridicules that Joe Hart is the background board of various world waves, but this shows how powerful Joe Hart is - it seems that only the world waves can break his goal!

And where is Oblak sacred?

The second goalkeeper from Benfica?

When the starting list came out, the English reporters in the media box began to talk.

The England goalkeeper sat on the bench, while the 19-year-old, born in 1993, started.

This makes these English reporters very angry. No matter how bad Hart is, can he be worse than a small goalkeeper who is less than 20 years old?

"Oblak started, it was a real surprise," said Redknapp, Letkinson's commentator partner. "Maybe Oblak is a really talented goalkeeper, but at such a young age, in the Starting in the opening game of the Premier League, this young teenager doesn't know if he can handle the pressure."

Redknapp believes that it is undoubtedly a risk to start Oblak. If he performs well, if he does not perform well, in the media environment of England's public opinion, will the teenager be able to withstand the pressure? Really It's worrying,

"We hope Oblak can show a good performance, next is the back line, the combination of central defender is Kompany partner Kolotore, left defender Kolarov, right defender .... Trippier, This is another unexpected start, and Coach Gao Bo is very fond of using young players!"

"And the bigger changes are in the midfield. Casemiro and Eriksen, who were introduced this season, both appeared in the starting positions. The other midfielder is David Silva, who gave Judging from the formation, Casemiro is in the middle, standing in the position of the midfielder. In front of him is David Silva on the left, Eriksen on the right, two attacking midfielders and one defensive midfielder. The configuration. Yaya Toure and Milner sat on the bench, and Manchester City's second captain Barry simply did not enter the squad for the game..."

"On the forward line, Hazard on the left and Griezmann on the right, it is not surprising that these two players start the line, but on the forward line, Balotelli, who was once rumored to be selling by Manchester City, actually appeared in the starting center. superior!!"

The players were already on the pitch at a time when there was a lot of talk about Manchester City's starting lineup.

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, players from both sides stood in their respective positions and waited for the start of the game.

The referee and the fourth official on the sidelines are on the table!

The Etihad Stadium was brightly lit, and Manchester City fans in the stands stood up.

Although the team is still spending a lot of money this season, what is different from before is that the team has ushered in a real champion coach!

Fans looked at the stadium and waited for the season to start.

Hopefully...it won't be a bitter season anymore. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
