Five Hundred and Sixty-Seven Is It All Like This Now?

In the first round of the Premier League, Manchester City beat Blackburn 5-0 away!

After a night of fermentation, it quickly caused an uproar in European football.

Everyone believed that after the accumulation of Naples, the profound coaching skills had begun to enter the hall, but no one thought that he would show such an aggressive momentum from the first round.

In the face of Allardyce's Blackburn, Manchester City scored two goals in less than ten minutes. In the first half, Blackburn scored three eggs. Not long after the second half started, Suarez scored again. The ball, and then Rakitic's long-range shot, helped Manchester City rout Violent Ben 5-0 away.

The entire Premier League was stunned by Manchester City's debut.

Despite Arsenal's six-to-one victory over Everton, Manchester City was the brightest spotlight on the first match day of the first round.

Allardyce said in his post-match press conference that Manchester City's performance was completely beyond his expectations.

"We have done enough preparations, we dare not be careless, everyone is playing hard, but the result is still very frustrating, Manchester City play a kind of football that we have never encountered before, we are facing such a The team, with such a tactical style of play, is powerless."

The Times did an in-depth analysis of Allardyce's remarks.

In fact, Manchester City's dominance in the game is indeed quite amazing. The possession rate reached 68%, the number of shots reached 23, and five goals were scored. The overall performance can be described as quite brilliant.

Blackburn, on the other hand, only had three shots on goal in the whole game, and they failed to pose a threat, so that The Times said with a joke that the test of Neuer in the first round of the league was not on his goalkeeping. It's his pass count and pass success rate.

Neuer has passed the ball 28 times, which is more than Blackburn's central defender, which is simply outrageous.

Even more surprising is that Neuer's passing success rate reached an astonishing 82%.

Of the 28 shots, 23 were successful, and of the five mistakes, three were long balls.

As far as this data is concerned, it has to be said that it is very surprising.

Meanwhile, Neuer had eight interceptions, yes, yes, eight interceptions, nearly three times as many as England goalkeeper Robinson at Blackburn, and he also had one tackle.

Yes, that's right, he rushed directly outside the penalty area and stole the opponent's pass.

The Times also published Neuer's heat map of the game, and found that his movement range not only covered the entire penalty area, but even a large area outside the penalty area, so his running distance for the entire game reached 5,000. Meter.

You know, the opposite Blackburn goalkeeper Robinson barely passed 3,000 meters.

Even if you get the average data of Premier League goalkeepers, it is not bad to be able to exceed 4,000 meters. If you reach 4,500 meters, you are very active, but Neuer has reached 5,000 meters.

So much so that The Times said, "Merbatov, who played for Manchester United, said that even goalkeepers are so sloppy now?"

In addition to running, Neuer's passing, defense and other aspects of the data have shown a very amazing performance, and his heat map shows that his coverage is not only in the penalty area, he almost explores. To the 30-meter area of ​​their own.

"This is something I have hardly seen among the previous goalkeepers!"

The Times believes that the football shown by Manchester City in this game is obviously better than that of Naples coached by Gao Shen, especially in the frontcourt and goalkeeper positions.

In the past, Cavani also actively ran and covered, but he seemed to have some problems with the other technical players in the team. The rhythm was often not right, so he was more of a run-and-gun scorer with Strong defensive attributes.

But when it comes to Suarez, he is almost in line with players such as David Silva, Robinho, Robben and Rakitic, whether it is the first goal scored,

After David Silva stopped the ball and turned around, he kicked up a long-range shot, but it was later turned offside and then plugged in. After the chest stopped the ball, he made a homeopathic lob, but he failed to score.

"In the two offensive cooperation, it can be seen that Suarez has the technical skills to cooperate with several players in the Manchester City team, coupled with a wide range of active running, which makes the entire frontcourt of Manchester City more integrated. close."

The back line is Neuer's active integration into the team's passing and defense, and the front is Suarez's organization and attack in the midfield, which makes Manchester City all integrated from front to back.

The Times analysis believes that relying on only one game can not explain any problems for the time being, but I believe that with the deepening of the schedule, Gao Shen and his Manchester City will gradually reveal more technical and tactical concepts.

"I believe that at that time, all of us will have a more comprehensive understanding of the Manchester City built with high and deep money."

But The Times also reminded Gao Shen that Everton, who faced Moyes in the second round, would be a tough fight.

"A home defeat to Arsenal in the first round, Moyes will definitely succumb to Manchester City in the second round."

"This team is not easy to deal with!"

...

In the new season, the Premier League has rekindled the war. Coupled with the arrival of Gao Shen and Ancelotti in the Premier League, the Premier League has five world-class coaches at once, four of which are Champions League champion coaches, and three have won two Champions Leagues. , is this worth it?

For a time, almost the whole world is scrambling to pay attention to the Premier League, especially the first to bear the brunt of Gao Shen and Manchester City.

Compared to Ancelotti's first-round match, Drogba scored twice, reversed Hull City 2-1, and Manchester City beat Blackburn 5-0 away, which is amazing.

Especially since Manchester City played so badly in the warm-up games.

It can be said that how badly Gao Shen and Manchester City were scolded by the media before, and how fiercely they are praised now.

Almost the entire British media is singing praises for Manchester City.

This is also a major feature of the British media.

The age of entertainment to death!

The relatively rational and authoritative media such as The Times and the Guardian are reminding Gao Shen and Manchester City that the second round is not easy to play at all.

But as the head coach of the team, Gao Shen is very rational.

...

Last night, after returning from Blackburn, the coaching staff met overnight to analyse the away game against Blackburn.

In this game, the team still exposed a lot of problems.

The next morning, after Buenaventura presided over the recovery training, Gao Shen held a special analysis and summary meeting, mainly to let the coaching staff and players actively analyze and summarize the first round of the game.

Whether it is a coach or a player, you can ask your own questions, even criticism of the coach and teammates.

Of course, this kind of criticism is only for things, never people!

This is also an atmosphere that Gao Shen deliberately cultivated during his coaching at Naples, which can maximize the team's internal communication and cohesion.

But this is not enough. In the next few days, Gao Shen will chat with each player one by one to know their most real thoughts and their experiences in the game.

For this game, Gao Shen is still quite satisfied on the whole, but he has not done enough in many places.

The wings are not active enough, and neither Robinho nor Robben are particularly adapted.

In contrast, Robinho was actually okay, got a few chances, but only seized the best one, that is, the assist of David Silva's heel, Robben seemed to be in the doldrums. Not a lot.

A few times on the right to try to cut inside, but I didn't hit the right spot.

Everyone knows that if Robben's left foot is cosmic, then his right is crippled.

I really want to go to the bottom, what can I do?

Blackburn actually knew this, so when Allardyce saw Robben play on the right, he immediately asked Warnock on the left to pinch the inside and let Robben take the ball and go outside.

The Dutch are also very helpless about this.

Whether it is Robinho or Robben, Gao Shen is actually more patient. He said that he is full of confidence and patience for the two players.

The problem with the flank is actually the two full-backs, some of which are not bold enough.

Neither Felipe nor Sabaleta belong to the type with super-strong personal ability and excellent offensive power, such as Marcelo or Alves, in fact, they are more offensive and defensive.

Whether Felipe was at Deportivo or Sabaleta was at Espanyol before, they couldn't invest more in attack, because the defender's first priority was defense.

But in the advanced tactics, he still hopes that the two can let go of their concerns, actively participate in the front attack, and provide more support to the two wingers.

"Actually, I found that many of the problems exposed in this game are normal."

After Gao Shen finished saying what he wanted to say, he concluded with a smile.

He tries to make all the players feel his mood.

I'm in a good mood after winning the game, but I still have to pay attention to any problems.

"We have some players in transition, some need to change their minds, some need to re-adapt to their teammates and the tactical environment around them... All of this takes time and the accumulation of games."

The high-level words were nodded and agreed by the players and coaches on the scene.

No change can be accomplished overnight.

"But what I want to say to everyone is that there is one thing, whether it is now or in the future, for a team, for a player, the most important thing is trust!"

"Players trust the manager, so they are willing to change their playing habits and style, as well as the concept of the game; players trust their teammates, so they trust their teammates with confidence, because they believe that teammates will be behind them. Protect him."

"We may not be doing well enough now, but this is only our first official game and I believe that as the games increase, as we play together more and more times, we will get to know each other better and naturally more trust."

When Gao Shen said this, he paused and looked at the group of players earnestly.

Although, many of them may not be much younger than him.

"I hope that both our coaches and players will cherish the trust that everyone around us has placed in us, and we will do our best to protect it, because it is the most valuable asset in our team!"

Gao Shen's remarks were recognized by the players and coaches, and also received a burst of warm applause.

...

Everything about Manchester City is under Gao Shen's control, but what happened on the second match day of the first round of the Premier League surprised Gao Shen.
