Six Hundred and Seventy-Six Is This Your Revenge Against Real Madrid?

"Farfan's dribble was intercepted and Felipe passed it up front."

"Gareth Bale is very fast, Manchester City's quick counter-attacks."

"The counterattack of the front trident formed a three-on-four situation."

"Look at Gareth Bale's handling, directly forcing Atsuto Uchida on the left, going down to the baseline and crossing."

"Suarez missed in the middle, and the ball arrived at the back point..."

"Roben!!!"

"Smash the ball with your right foot, pull it over, it's beautiful, it directly passed two players, and then hit it with your left foot!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester City scored another goal, four to zero!"

"Only three minutes into the second half, three minutes, Manchester City broke Schalke's goal again through a quick counterattack, Arjen Robben used a wonderful left-footed curve shot to score another goal for Manchester City. "

"This time, Manchester City's quick counterattack was very sharp. Schalke 04's midfielder couldn't keep up at all. None of the four players in the back line could hold the offensive coordination of Manchester City's trident."

"Four to zero! Now Magath should make an adjustment."

"If you still want to continue to fight against Manchester City, it is estimated that Schalke will lose even worse in 04."

...

"Now it won't be so hard-headed, right?"

Gao Shen looked innocently at the coaching bench of the home team, and muttered in his mouth.

Head iron is a disease that must be cured!

Carlo, Lucas, and Sarri were all nearby, they could hear them clearly, and they all showed weird expressions.

They were very speechless and could only say: Gao, can you be more shameless?

You are obviously happy in your heart, but you still want to pretend to be innocent?

Who is this trying to fool?

Magath is indeed the top iron. He has already had three goals in the first half, but he still wants to attack in the second half. Isn't this a draw?

However, Magath also appeared to have made up his mind after being scored the fourth goal.

In the fifty-fifth minute, American international Jermaine Jones replaced Baumjohn.

The midfielder has also changed from the original diamond-shaped position to the current double midfielder position.

Manchester City continued to stabilize the ball, controlled the situation on the scene, and launched attacks against Schalke Zero Four again and again.

But Schalke 04, which focuses on defense, still defends well, especially when there are double defensive midfielders in front of the defense line. In addition, Manchester City has already led by four goals, so they slowed down the offensive appropriately, allowing Magath's team to Hold your ground.

In the 65th minute, Magath made a second substitution, replacing Jurado with Annan.

This Annan is the nephew of the former United Nations Secretary-General Annan, who was once regarded as Essien II, but judging from the current situation, the development of this Ghanaian midfielder is still not satisfactory.

Even now, his biggest name is still that he has an uncle who was the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

The last 30 minutes of the game were basically spent in Manchester City's substitutions and Schalke Zero Four's defense.

The scene was not good, and Manchester City failed to score again in the end.

Four to zero, the score was maintained until the end.

...

"congratulations!"

As soon as the game whistle sounded, Magath walked to the coach of the visiting team and shook hands with Gao Shen.

The German's face was ashen, without a smile, and he felt as if he was being pointed at with a gun, very reluctantly.

Gao Shen was in a good mood, and greeted Magath with a smile.

He actually wanted to ask Magath, why did he suddenly want to play against Manchester City?

Or, how are you feeling right now?

But Gao Shen finally suppressed the gossip mentality.

Magath's situation should be even worse now.

Gao Shen's foot was quite heavy, and he might even directly crush Magath to death.

After shaking hands, Magath walked straight into the player tunnel without saying anything to Gao Shen.

In the stands, Schalke 04 fans could vaguely be heard calling for get out of class.

But Gao Shen didn't think so.

It is reported that in the contract signed by Magath and Schalke 04, the penalty for breach of contract is as high as 12 million euros, which is a sky-high price for Schalke 04, which is already heavily in debt.

To put it simply, Schalke 04 is so poor that they don't even have the ability to fire their employer's coach!

Unless Magath does not want liquidated damages, it is equivalent to Magath leaving voluntarily.

However, the German also said that he would not do this.

For this complicated situation, Gao Shen said that he could not understand.

...

"Hey, boss!"

Raul came over, smiled and shook hands with Gao Shen.

Gao Shen pulled hard and hugged Raul directly.

"You seem to be doing well, kid." Gao Shen was also very happy to see Raul.

He noticed that Raul's situation in Schalke 04 is quite good. After all, as Schalke 04's biggest star, he naturally received much attention.

"I just want to score a few more goals," Raul said.

Gao Shen really wanted to say: How about saving your energy?

Anyway, in another two years, you will soon be screwed down by those two record-setting hooligans.

With this Spanish time, instead of wasting it in the Bundesliga, why not go to the American Major League or the Middle East to make money, isn't it good?

But sometimes, people need some thoughts.

"By the way, tonight, your tactics are a bit weird, it feels like you are helping us."

As soon as Gao Shen said this, Raul smiled awkwardly.

Boss, can we stop being so ambiguous?

People who don't know think that Schalke 04 is playing match-fixing.

"Before the game, he talked with me, and I mentioned to him to pay attention, but unexpectedly, he took the initiative to press it out. It is estimated that the pressure is really too great recently." After Raul finished speaking, he sighed Take a breath.

Those who have not experienced it personally will never understand the pressure of being the head coach of a team.

It's like, no one can understand why Guardiola would suddenly make such a nonsensical decision on the eve of the Champions League final.

Not only the pressure from the management, but also from the players in the dressing room, the media and the fans from outside.

More importantly, this kind of pressure can only be borne by the head coach himself, and no one can help him.

"To be honest, Schalke 04 is incomparable to Real Madrid." Raul's face darkened, and he said sadly.

Although he once played in Atletico Madrid during the youth team, he spent all his career in Real Madrid, so he is very familiar with everything about Real Madrid. His memories of professional football are all from Real Madrid.

Suddenly, he left from Real Madrid, which is an adjustment process for anyone.

Especially from Real Madrid to a team like Schalke 04.

"Our starting lineup and bench thickness, the difference in strength is too great, so that it is difficult for us to play well in the Champions League, but now, the club's debts force the team to play well in the Champions League, at least to qualify for the group stage... ..."

Gao Shen opened his eyes, be good, do you want to qualify in the group?

Looking at Raul again, Gao Shen couldn't help laughing, "Is this your revenge against Real Madrid?"

If Schalke 04 wants to qualify in the group, they will definitely have to fight against Real Madrid.

"Boss, can't we just get rid of your Manchester City?" Raul countered.

Gao Shen laughed heartily, "Don't forget, we won two consecutive victories."

As he spoke, Gao Shen waved two fingers in front of Raul.

Raul's face was indeed not very good-looking.

Because the result of another stadium was also passed on.

With Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid beat Inter Milan 1-0 at home.

As a result, Manchester City leads the standings with two consecutive victories, and Real Madrid has one win and one loss, ranking second in the group.

Both Inter Milan and Schalke Zero Four had one draw and one loss, but because Schalke Zero Four conceded more goals, they fell to fourth in the group.

Now this situation is very close to the situation in the Bundesliga standings, Schalke 04 is at the bottom.

The reason why Raul joined Schalke 04 was to score more goals in the Champions League, but now that the team has encountered such a blow, Raul still feels somewhat at a loss in his heart.

"Don't worry, in the next two rounds, I will do my best to help you get rid of Inter Milan." Gao Shen patted Raul on the shoulder and encouraged him.

But Raul was still a little worried.

Can Schalke 04 get out of the shadow of their home defeat?

More importantly, in the next round of the group stage, Raul will bring Schalke 04 to visit the Bernabeu.

Entering the Bernabeu for the first time as an opponent of Real Madrid, Raul didn't know how to deal with himself.

...

In the first round, they beat Real Madrid 5-0 at home, and in the second round they beat Schalke 04 4-0 away.

Manchester City not only won two consecutive victories, but also maintained a record of not conceding a goal, and the results are even more gratifying.

The British and European media are generally satisfied with Manchester City's performance.

In fact, as early as this season, everyone had already guessed that Manchester City would become a dark horse in the UEFA Champions League this season, because Gao Shen is very good at playing cup games. As the Premier League champion last season, Manchester City was trained by Gao Shen. Years later, it should also be competitive.

Gao Shen did not comment on Schalke Zero Four or Magath in the press conference after the game.

Although Magath was very dissatisfied with Manchester City's performance after the game, he thought it was not easy for Manchester City to win, Schalke 04 did not perform badly, the fiasco was due to bad luck...

Gao Shen is satisfied with Manchester City's performance, but at the same time reminds the team that the two consecutive victories at the beginning are nothing, and the real test is not over yet. If Manchester City wants to stand out from the group stage, they must play well against Inter Milan Two rounds.

That is, the third and fourth rounds of the group stage.

"I don't know what other people think, but for me, we still have some problems in the first two rounds of the group stage. I believe that my team and players can and should do better."

Gao Shen said that the UEFA Champions League is the highest level competition in world football.

"It requires everyone, every game, every minute to stay focused and give it their all."

Obviously, Gao Shen still wants to keep a low profile.

But the big victories in these two games were too eye-catching. It is not an exaggeration to say that Manchester City was the most eye-catching team in the first two rounds of the group stage.

Naturally, the media and fans are also crazily catching up on Manchester City's hype, and the attention has exploded.

Even, many media have been hyping Manchester City as the topic of the hottest team to win the Champions League this season, fearing that the world will not be chaotic. This makes Gao Shen and Manchester City helpless and happy.

At the same time, I was somewhat worried.

It's normal.

Gao Shen has always believed in one sentence, born in sorrow and died in peace.

As a head coach, it is also a good thing to worry a little more.
