Falling in love with youkanshu.com, starting from coaching Real Madrid

When Gao Shen walked into the press conference hall of Intihad Stadium, the collar and hem of the suit still had traces of white cake cream that had not been wiped clean. They couldn't help but let out a knowing smile, because they all knew that today was Gao Shen's birthday.

The 4-1 home win over Arsenal on their birthday was the most wonderful thing ever.

It is completely conceivable how crazy Gao Shen and his players played in the locker room just now.

Whether it is European football or fans all over the world, it is clear that Gao Shen has always had a very good relationship with the players, and now he appears at the press conference with cake residues all over his body, which is understandable.

"Sorry, it's really too late to change clothes." Gao Shen explained with a smile.

Going to the place exclusively for him in the middle of the podium, after Gao Shen sat down, the press officer announced the start of the post-match press conference, and everyone could ask Gao Shen about the game.

In fact, such press conferences have some fixed procedures.

For example, they usually start by asking some game-related questions, how the team is doing, how are certain players doing, how do you rate a certain player, or how do you rate the opponent's player, the opponent's manager, etc.

Anyway, these problems are bound to arise.

For such a problem, Gao Shen has long been familiar with it, and it is also handy to deal with.

The media will also gradually extend the problem to other aspects according to the situation of the game.

For example, many people will be very concerned about the relationship between Gao Shen and Robben.

In this regard, Gao Shen reiterated that he had no conflict with Robben.

"He was brought in by me personally. Do you think that there is any conflict between me and him?" Gao Shen asked with a smile.

Before the game, his clarification did not carry much weight, but now, everyone basically has no doubts.

Especially in the game, after Robben scored the first goal, he took the initiative to run to the sidelines to hug Gao Shen, which is more important than any explanation.

Gao Shen also clarified his use of Robben.

He explained that he arranged for Robben to take a vacation because Robben was under a lot of pressure during that time.

"All of us know that he is a very good world-class player, but in the end, he is also an ordinary person, and he also has the mood swings and pressures of ordinary people. My assistant and I judged according to his situation at the time. Given his mental state, we all felt that he should have a good rest."

That's why Robben left the team and went on vacation.

As for arranging Robben as a substitute, Gao Shen said that this is the team's tactical need.

"In fact, I had raised this issue with Robben before the squad was announced, and he was very supportive and trusted my decision, which allowed me to place him on the bench without any burden."

The deep words revealed his trust in Robben and clarified the relationship between him and Robben again.

"Everyone has seen it. After coming off the bench in the second half, Robben scored three goals in just over 20 minutes and became the most outstanding and dazzling player on the pitch."

"Through this game, I think our decision is correct." Gao Shen said proudly.

Through this game, his status and prestige in the team's locker room, in the minds of the coaching staff and players, will also be improved to a higher level.

The prestige of a head coach is never achieved overnight, but must be gradually accumulated through game after game, victory after victory, like Gao Shen.

Especially in today's game, Gao Shen had completely grasped the opponent's mentality and strategy before the game, and gave targeted counterattacks, and finally won a four-to-one home victory.

This will make the players more convincing to the manager.

For Wenger and the Gunners, Gao Shen also gave a high evaluation, believing that the score does not fully reflect the process.

"In the game, Wenger and his team caused us a lot of trouble, Neuer was one of the best players in our team, which is enough to prove Arsenal's performance and threat in the game."

Gao Shen revealed that he always told the players before the game to pay attention to Adebayor and Van Persie, especially Van Persie.

"My players have shown enough focus and hard work in the game, but unfortunately, they were scored by Arsenal. The game even became very, very difficult because of this goal."

Gao Shen revealed that this game can further build up the confidence and fighting spirit of Manchester City players.

"Gilliam Ballage said in his column that the fifth and sixth rounds are Judgment Day in the Premier League, I don't know if he was right or not, but I think these two rounds are very important to us. It's really different."

For the first time, Gao Shen talked about the importance and significance of these two games.

"In the past, many fans have misunderstood us, and many media have prejudice against us, which makes us feel a sense of embattlement, but I always tell my players, don't pay attention to what other people say, as long as we focus on doing Take care of yourself and speak with facts.”

"I'm so happy my players did it!"

When Gao Shen said this, his expression and tone were full of pride.

"I want to say that through such strong dialogue, it can prove that we are not a mess of sand, nor are we mercenaries who only play football for money, we are a group of professional football with persistent pursuit, clear goals, unity and cohesion. team!"

"We have the strength to compete with all the Premier League teams, including the giants that are pressing G4, and even win in the confrontation."

Regarding the significance of this game, Gao Shen said that it will give Manchester City more confidence to defeat Manchester United and win the derby when they visit Old Trafford in the next round.

"In terms of the schedule, it is beneficial to us." Gao Shen replied with a smile.

On the one hand, Manchester City does not have the burden of multi-line operations, and only needs to focus on the league. Gao Shen can have plenty of time to prepare for this game, and can even arrange one or even two extra days of rest in a week.

This is definitely something that all teams fighting on two fronts dare not expect.

On the other hand, Manchester United will usher in the first round of the Champions League group stage in midweek, their opponent is Turkey's Besiktas.

The strength of this Turkish team is not weak, but it is enough to cause trouble for Manchester United.

More importantly, the Red Devils are going to expedition to Turkey in the first round, which is the biggest trouble.

The expedition to Turkey in the middle of the week and the derby in the same city on the weekend. From the schedule, Manchester City really has the advantage.

Although Ferguson's team is superior in strength, it will be a huge pressure for the Red Devils to travel back and forth for such a long journey and to deal with two key games in a row.

Rotation?

Gao Shen also wished that Ferguson had more rotations.

By that time, Manchester City will recharge and attack Manchester United in the best condition.

"I can't say right now whether we can beat the opponent at Old Trafford because the game is not over and everything is still full of unknowns, but I can say with certainty that we have gradually adjusted our form. Next we will go further and challenge Manchester United with the strongest squad at Old Trafford."

Gao Shen reiterated, "Our goal has never changed, that is to win the championship!"

"When I came to the Premier League, what I wanted most was to lead Manchester City and kick Manchester United off the throne!"

"I know that Ferguson's Manchester United are challenging for an unprecedented fourth consecutive Premier League title, but I would say they have no chance!"

"Because, here I am!"

...

At the end of the press conference, Gao Shen's provocation against Manchester United caused huge repercussions throughout the Premier League and even the world.

He does have the qualifications to challenge Manchester United, because now after five rounds, Manchester City is even higher than Manchester United.

The five-game winning streak Manchester City has scored 22 goals and conceded only two to top the Premier League table.

Chelsea fell behind again this round. Stoke City took the lead in the first half, but Ancelotti's team used two stoppage time goals in the second half to reverse Stoke City 2-1. .

In third place is Benitez's Reds Liverpool.

The team came to Anfield in the fifth round, with a hat-trick from Benayoun and a goal from Cuyinte, who thrashed Burnley 4-0 and scored an astonishing victory.

In particular, Benayoun's hat-trick shocked everyone.

Obviously, after stabilizing the midfielder's double midfielder, Benitez's team began to exert force.

The Red Army also won five consecutive victories, ranking third in the Premier League standings.

This is also the three teams in the Premier League that have maintained a 100% record so far.

Another team, Tottenham Hotspur, who have won four consecutive victories, will face the Red Devils Manchester United in this round at the White Hart Lane Stadium.

In less than a minute of the opening, Defoe scored the first goal for Tottenham and took the lead.

But then, Ryan Giggs, Anderson and Rooney scored successively to help Manchester United reverse Tottenham Hotspur 3-1.

As a result, with this victory, Manchester United reversed Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the standings and entered the top four of the league, Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth, and Arsenal still ranked first. six.

Then there are teams such as Sunderland, Aston Villa, Fulham and West Ham United, and the points are also very tight.

After all, it has only just played five rounds, and everything is still full of unknowns.

In the long season, no one knows when an injury or slump will suddenly bring down a team.

But judging from the first five rounds, especially the fifth round, when Manchester City beat Arsenal 4-1 at home, the Blue Moon, trained by Gao Shen, showed excellent overall strength and state from the beginning of the season, and with the game The depth of the game gradually became stronger and stronger, and the stars also played one by one.

This also makes everyone look forward to the sixth round of the Manchester derby.
