Five Hundred and Eighty-One The Days of the Premier League Have Changed!

With a swipe, Gao Shen opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains in the bedroom, and bright eyes suddenly shone in from outside the house, making him unable to help narrow his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable, but the whole person felt very comfortable.

As a southerner, he was not used to the British weather.

By contrast, he still prefers a climate like Spain or Italy.

In the UK, when I look up every day, it is gloomy, depressed and uncomfortable.

The sunny weather like today is really rare.

What's even more rare is that Gao Shen is not in a hurry today.

The team has no training tasks today. All the international players have gone to participate in the national team games. Players who do not have national team tasks are on vacation, and the coaching staff will naturally take vacations as well.

Of course, there is only one day off like this, and training starts tomorrow.

All of a sudden, he was idle, and Gao Shen didn't know what to do.

Before, after waking up every morning, he would go straight to Carrington after grooming.

Carlo, Lucas, or the rest of the coaching staff would drive over to pick him up, eat breakfast, and start the day, sometimes until late, and go straight to sleep when they get home.

It sounds really embarrassing.

Having lived in Alderley Edge for so long, he really hasn't taken a good look at the landscape and surroundings like he does today.

I heard that Ferguson lives in Wilmslow, not far north of Alderley Edge. Would you like to come visit?

But Gao Shen quickly dismissed the idea, because they would meet soon.

The annual FA Coaches' Annual Meeting is about to be held. As the head coach of the Premier League, Gao Shen is a special guest.

This annual meeting is held by the FA, once a year for three days, but unlike UEFA's elite summit, it is open to all FA-registered professional coaches, and some famous coaches will be invited to do special topics every day speech.

To put it simply, this is a real professional coach exchange meeting.

Inevitably, with a large number of participants, the level will inevitably be uneven, and it is incomparable with UEFA's elite summit.

In the past two or three years, the most discussed topic in English football, apart from the Premier League, is the youth training.

Everyone knows that the account book of the Premier League is very expensive, but in the final analysis, there are too many monks and too few porridge, and there are too few high-quality high-level players.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the century, Howard Wilkins, the technical director of the English Football Association, once proposed to learn advanced cases such as Italy's Coviciano and France's Claire Fontaine, and to establish a country of his own in England. training center.

But then the plan was shelved because the construction of Wembley Stadium was very overdraft.

However, the results of England's recent competitions are unsatisfactory. It seems that there are many stars, but the results are a mess, so now the plan to restart the national team training center has begun.

I heard that Wilkins, by the way, is the one who once went to China to coach the Shanghai team. He bought a large piece of land for the national team in Burton, and it is still idle.

If Gao Shen guessed correctly, this should be the heart of English football later, St George's Park.

The FA also called Gao Shen before, hoping that he could give some special speeches on training young players, but Gao Shen politely declined. The most important thing is that he really has no time to prepare for these.

In fact, in the words of Brian Kidd, it is rare to hear a keynote speech by a Premier League manager at the FA's annual meeting.

"Unless, he is now idle at home!"

Obviously, Gao Shen was not the only one who refused.

However, when the time comes, I will definitely have to make an appearance, and the FA will still have to give face.

There, Ferguson should be visible.

Not only the FA, but UEFA also sent an invitation letter to Gao Shen, inviting him to participate in UEFA's elite summit and awards ceremony.

Because this year there will be players from Naples who will win awards, but they were all declined by Gao Shen.

He is now the manager of Manchester City, and he can't play in the Champions League. What is he doing in that kind of occasion?

Speaking of this, Gao Shen didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Manchester City can't play the Champions League. There are only two domestic competitions, the League Cup and the FA Cup, but in general, these two competitions are relatively tasteless, especially the League Cup, which is even more tasteless.

The influence of the FA Cup is not small, but for Gao Shen, it is really not attractive.

This has also led to Manchester City's single-line battle this season, focusing on the Premier League.

This will definitely be a big advantage for Manchester City.

But Gao Shen still feels a little disappointed about not being able to participate in the Champions League. After all, he still hopes to compete with more teams from different countries and styles.

Fortunately, the Premier League itself has enough famous coaches.

...

When Gao Shen finished washing up and went downstairs, the housekeeping staff had already come to the door. They also brought him a rich and delicious morning from a nearby hotel, and asked him if he would eat at home at noon or something.

Gao Shen was eating breakfast while browsing the news on his mobile phone.

This morning, it was overwhelming news that Manchester City beat Portsmouth 3-1 last night and continued to lead the Premier League standings with four consecutive victories.

Some reports even made Gao Shen feel embarrassed when he read it himself. He always felt that he was so good?

So far, a total of four teams in the Premier League have maintained a four-game winning streak, namely Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, and these four teams also occupy the top four positions in the Premier League standings.

Among them, Ancelotti's Chelsea can win four consecutive victories, which is not surprising, but Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, especially Liverpool, because Redknapp's team is also performing very well.

Gao Shen remembers that in his previous life, Benitez had a bad start to the season, but now, the Red Army has also won four consecutive victories, and also surpassed Tottenham Hotspur and ranked third in the Premier League bit.

I have to say that Biglia's joining is really a relief for Liverpool.

With the current situation, Gao Shen does not know how Benitez and Liverpool will develop next.

But one thing is certain, the hole left by Xavi Alonso's transfer to Real Madrid in his previous life has now been filled by Biglia, and Liverpool's overall strength is better than that in the previous life. .

Down in the top four are Arsenal and Manchester United.

The two teams played a 1-1 draw in the fourth round of the Premier League, and Manchester United failed to win Arsenal at home.

The current strength of the Gunners is also stronger than that of the previous life, because the main players such as Adebayor and Kolo Toure have not transferred, and now Wenger is still full of talents.

Relatively speaking, the most worrying situation is Manchester United.

After Ronaldo left, Tevez was also clamoring to leave the team. The strength of the Red Devils was weakened most obviously, especially on the offensive end.

But, this summer, Ferguson missed Benzema again.

Arsenal failed to win at home, which is somewhat disappointing for Ferguson's Manchester United.

Although only four rounds have been played, the league ranking has basically taken shape.

If nothing else, the top six teams are basically these.

Gao Shen really doesn't quite understand the current situation, because according to the current situation, the most dangerous one is Ferguson's Manchester United. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is gone, Tevez is also basically going, but the Red Devils have so far , The only real powerful signings are Valencia, Owen is a free transfer, and his strength is not as good as before.

In this case, the strength of Ferguson's team is greatly affected.

Therefore, Manchester United's league ranking is also the lowest, only sixth.

Could it be that Ferguson really didn't think about strengthening the team's strength?

If you really want to do this, Manchester United will not be able to claim the championship, and the top four may not be guaranteed.

You know, Arsenal at least kept Cesc Fabregas, and also introduced a Fermaelen, which cost more than 10 million euros, and the overall strength has also been strengthened.

What about Manchester United?

Premier League days have changed!

...

After breakfast, Gao Shen took advantage of his free time to call his parents in China and Su Qing in the capital, and made a cross-ocean call.

Although he and Su Qing basically call every day, or chat online, but like today, there are very few opportunities to talk on the phone for a long time, and even Gao Shen now has less time to play games.

There is no way, everything for Manchester City is to be a pioneer, and he is also a technical director. In addition to the Manchester City first team, he also has to take care of the affairs of the youth team.

For example, in addition to being the technical director of the first team, Rudolf Borrell is also a technical advisor to the youth academy.

Now, Manchester City wants to reform the entire youth training and vigorously promote the Spanish-style youth training, which is also vigorously promoted by Gao Shen.

There are too many things, and Gao Shen is very busy.

Su Qing was also busy, but she still took time out to chat with Gao Shen for a long time.

She said that she was ready and that she would fly to the UK as soon as the National Day holiday.

On the phone, it was inevitable to say a few obsessive love words, after all, the two did not see each other for a long time.

At the thought of the upcoming meeting, Gao Shen felt warm in his heart.

But thinking about it again, it will take another month, and his heart is empty again.

According to the schedule, when Su Qing was in the UK, Gao Shen had to go south to Birmingham to play an away game.

Think a little depressing.

However, Su Qing in turn comforted him a few words, saying that she can go away with him and watch him play when the time comes.

"You know, I often read your news on TV, newspapers and magazines, but the scene is rare. Except for the Champions League final, this is the first time. Let's see how you beat your opponent." Su Qing smiled expectantly. road.

Gao Shen agreed, "When the time comes, I will give you a victory!"

Su Qing nodded hurriedly, even more looking forward to it.

The two scratched the phone reluctantly, and Gao Shen gradually adjusted, but the phone rang again soon.

Caller ID: Fernando Lucas.

"Hello, Fernando." Gao Shen answered the phone.

"Just got the news." As soon as the call was connected, Lucas reported anxiously.

"I heard that Manchester United are starting to sign. Ferguson has realized the current strength and crisis of Manchester United. He wants to bring in one or two more reinforcements before the transfer market closes, so Manchester United is moving quickly."

Gao Shen secretly screamed in his heart, sure enough.

Although the league has only played four rounds, many problems have been exposed and the situation is taking shape. It is strange that Ferguson does not want to sign.
