Five Hundred and Seventy-Eight Manchester City No One?

Update: Giroud will be twenty-three soon.

When he was still training at the academy in Grenoble, he knew that he was not the kind of player with great talent because he had seen how talent played.

Benzema, who played for Lyon, is such a genius, and a genius recognized throughout France, Europe and the world.

So, Benzema is like an expensive, well-cared-for F1 car, while his Giroud is just a kart that nobody cares about.

He never even thought that he could one day be on the stage of the top league.

He once felt that his highest achievement should be to play in Ligue 2, and to be able to play in Ligue 1 is already very, very rare, but after moving to Tours, he found that he really had such an opportunity .

This was the first time he was so desperate to succeed!

What surprised him even more was that before he succeeded in Tours, Ligue 2, and Ligue 1, he had already achieved a dream that he had not dared to hope for for many years.

The Premier League upstart Manchester City extended an olive branch to him, and the talented coach Gao Shen, who has two Champions League titles in his hand, invited him to join!

For Giroud at the time, it was like a dream.

No, he couldn't even believe in his dreams that it could be real.

Therefore, after receiving the exact news, Giroud was afraid that Manchester City and Gao Shen would regret it, and ran from Chambery to Manchester at the first time, because he heard that anyone who is valued by Gao Shen will not be low in achievement.

So, the fire that he had suppressed for many, many years was rekindled.

After coming to Manchester City, he was definitely the most serious one in the training. Every movement, every project, every instruction from the coaching staff, he completed meticulously.

Compared to the teammates around him, he does a lot of bad things, but his attitude is definitely the best.

At first, he thought that he would be treated coldly, the coaching staff would be disappointed with him, and Gao Shen would put himself in the cold palace, but it didn't work out.

He still clearly remembers that in Cape Town, South Africa, he had the first opportunity to sit down and chat with the head coach Gao Shen face-to-face. Although it was through an interpreter, Gao Shen's remarks left a deep impression on him.

"In our world, there has never been absolute perfection. We all have imperfections, so on the court, we need more teamwork and more need for each of us to go all out and work together."

"Your strengths are very obvious, but your weaknesses are also terrible. If you want to gain a foothold on a platform like the Premier League, you have to make the most of your strengths and make yourself a team player with distinct characteristics. player."

Giroud was curious, he asked Gao Shen, what are his advantages?

Gao Shen pointed to his temple, "Here, there is the sense of rhythm you play with."

After an in-depth conversation, Gao Shen believes that Giroud's greatest talent is that he has the ability to quickly analyze and read the game on the court, and his sense of space is also very good, which allows him to quickly capture information, and his physical fitness is very good. outstanding.

"Looking at the rhythm of your playing, it's completely different from other centre forwards. It's like a No. 10 player."

Gao Shen believes that Giroud should work harder in this direction.

Make up for shortcomings?

Definitely want it.

But he is almost twenty-three now, how can he still have time?

Even if you try your best to make up for it, you can't make up much, and more of it is to make up for the player's lack of confidence by making up for shortcomings.

What you really need to do is to use your own strengths.

At the first meeting, Jirou was persuaded by Gao Shen.

He has never imagined that he will become the main player of Manchester City, but he has never dared to imagine that the coaching staff of the Champions League like Gao Shen and his team will specially tailor a targeted training plan for him.

He is content.

So, he performed extraordinarily hard.

Even in the first three rounds, he couldn't even play for a minute. Looking at the teammates around him, one by one, he was more active. He was very envious, but he was still practicing hard and silently waiting for the opportunity.

Finally, he entered the big list.

Finally, he waited for the opportunity to play.

Although, only half an hour left.

While standing on the sidelines, waiting for a substitution to enter the field, Giroud raised his head, as if hoping that the live broadcast would capture his face more comprehensively and carefully, so that his past teammates, friends, All relatives looked at him.

He's on the Premier League stage!

"Come on!" Robben gave him high fives and hugs before he left the game.

Giroud was flattered.

Because before, Robben was only a superstar he had the chance to see on TV and in newspapers.

But now, they are teammates.

This made him a little stunned for a while.

"No. 12, No. 12." The referee shouted twice in the stadium.

"Olivier." Felipe, the nearest left-back, ran over and shouted.

Giroud finally woke up, waved his hand awkwardly, and quickly ran into the court.

He was a little stunned!

The Pompeii fans at the scene suddenly booed.

Nima, is there no one in Manchester City?

It turned out to be such a fool!

Only the Manchester City players themselves know that this guy has been full of strange attributes from the day he joined the team.

God knows, why would someone who can only speak French but not English dare to come from France to England alone?

The point is, he hadn't even signed the contract at that time.

...

Gao Shen patted his forehead with a headache.

In his memory, Jirou in the previous life should be a very coquettish guy, but now why does he feel like he is stupid, stupid and stupid?

But the point is, this guy is so tall and strong, saying he's stupid... well, it's too contrasting.

"David." Gao Shen shouted to Silva, and gestured towards him, indicating that he should adjust the pass to the front and pay more attention to Giroud. The Spanish midfielder nodded to indicate that he received it.

The same goes for Rakitic.

Robinho still plays on the left, and Suarez was moved to the right by Gao Shen. He played this position when he was in Ajax, and he is no stranger to it.

"Okay, cheer up and concentrate, you can definitely do it!" Gao Shen clapped his hands and encouraged.

...

Manchester City kicked off again.

Giroud tried to catch the ball for the first time, and it was not smooth. Distin quickly circled behind him and intercepted the ball one step ahead.

The French center was a little surprised and immediately went into a counter-attack, but failed to grab the ball.

He began to realise that the Premier League was not like the videotaped games he had seen before.

In fact, the rhythm of the Premier League game is really fast, so fast that it is dizzying.

When he was sitting on the sidelines before, he felt that Suarez could seize the opportunity every time, so he naturally felt that Kabul and Distin were slow. Fast and flexible.

Slow and clumsy, that's relative to a striker like Suarez.

The second time he tried to catch the ball, Giroud caught it, but stopped a little bigger. When he wanted to catch up quickly and protect the ball, Distin next to him had already taken the lead and stabbed the ball. out.

The whole stadium burst into warm applause and cheers again.

Giroud even seemed to have heard it, and the fans in the stands mocked and humiliated him.

However, he still did not fully understand English.

"Olivier, what are you doing? Focus! Focus!" came the head coach's deep reprimand from the sidelines.

Giroud glanced at the coach, nodded quickly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.

"Play to your advantage!"

"Build strengths and avoid weaknesses!"

Having missed two passes in a row, Giroud's third catch came a little late.

Obviously, his teammates are also a little worried about him.

Every forward pass is an opportunity created by teammates' constant pulling. Who wants to waste it like this?

But the third time, Giroud did not let the ball linger at his feet, but quickly knocked back to the neutral position.

"Very good! Hold on!" Gao Shen shouted in a timely manner from the sidelines.

Giroud was about to turn around and smile at the head coach, but found that Rakitic passed another straight pass to his side. As a result, he failed to grasp the intention in time and the ball was gone.

"Trench! Olivier, focus!"

Giroud waved apologetically towards Rakitic, and he was indeed a little distracted.

The Croatian midfielder grinned and immediately went into the counter-attack.

...

Giroud really integrated into the rhythm of the game, and it took more than five minutes.

He clearly realizes that the center forward at the top will not get the slightest space for the ball at all. He cannot let the ball linger under his feet. He must move in and out quickly and touch the ball with one foot.

By the time he can pass and receive the ball steadily, the time has entered seventy minutes.

time flies!

But it was also in this almost suffocating rhythm of the game that Giroud really realized what Gao Shen told him before, that his ability to quickly analyze and read the game really exists.

He can always inadvertently, through observation, grasp the position of the surrounding teammates, opponents, and their running routes.

He didn't know if anyone else could do it, but he thought he could.

So, he realized that if he mastered this, he could really do a lot of things.

Especially in combination with his strong body.

"Use your body to protect the ball and control your opponent!"

Giroud is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart and understands a lot of things at once.

In the 74th minute, Robinho had the ball on the left and tried to cut into the halfway, but was blocked by Van den Bore and forced to pass back to David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder held the ball and glanced ahead habitually, and saw Giroud running over quickly, made a gesture towards him, and shouted, "Pass forward."

David Silva reacted immediately.

Giroud quickly ran to the left side of the penalty area, and in front of Distin, blocked the French central defender with his body.

Both players are 1.92 meters tall and fought against each other physically. Distin might not necessarily lose to Giroud, but after losing the upper hand, the French central defender could only be blocked by Giroud.

David Silva sent a quick pass to the right of Giroud, who was facing away from the goal, and bounced up beside him, slowing down.

A good passer is one who can deliver every ball that is flawless according to the characteristics and habits of his teammates.

Giroud didn't catch the ball at all, but took a step forward, turned around, and swayed his long left leg, passing the ball from David Silva to the goal.
