On the evening of July 16th, AT&T Stadium in Los Angeles, USA.

Manchester City ushered in the first warm-up match of the US training camp, and the opponent was the Mexican American team.

It's a coincidence that Gao Shen was thinking of poaching Jackson Martinez of the Mexican American team before, but now he ran into him.

Once the game started, City took control and took the lead in the 12th minute.

Then in the 16th and 27th minutes, Manchester City scored two goals in a row.

In the second half, Yaya Toure scored a goal after Manchester City changed sides and fought again.

In the end, Manchester City beat the Mexican team 4-0.

...

On the evening of July 19th, Vancouver, Canada, Empire Stadium.

Manchester City's opponent in the second game is the Vancouver Whitecaps.

In the opening fifteen minutes, Van Persie opened the scoring for Manchester City with a single shot.

But in the 30th minute, the Vancouver Whitecaps managed to pull a goal back.

In the 39th minute, Leighton Baines and Hazard made consecutive passes on the left, allowing Van Persie to make another victory.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Manchester City scored two consecutive goals in the 68th and 84th minutes.

In the end, Blue Moon defeated the Vancouver Whitecaps 4-1 and won two consecutive victories.

...

On the evening of July 24th, Los Angeles, USA, at the Home Depot Center.

The opponent in the third Challenger League is the Los Angeles Galaxy.

It is worth mentioning that the former disciple of Gao Shen, Beckham, appeared in the starting lineup of the Bank of Los Angeles.

Manchester City launched a series of onslaughts from the very beginning, scoring two goals in the twelfth and twentieth minutes respectively.

In the 29th minute, Sturridge made another victory, extending the score to 3-0.

In the second half, Beckham assisted his teammates to score with a free kick.

In the end, Manchester City defeated the Los Angeles Galaxy 3-1.

...

Manchester City played three consecutive victories in the North American warm-up match, which made all the media and fans feel very uncomfortable.

This is not advanced at all!

You know, Gao Shen has always played wildly in the past, especially in the warm-up match, he never sticks to the rules and always plays very wildly, so the results have always been very bad.

But this time, Manchester City's performance was surprisingly amazing.

Not only the three-game winning streak, but with the excellent record of scoring 11 goals in three games and only conceding two goals, they overwhelmed Real Madrid and Manchester United and won the championship.

...

After playing the World Football Challenge, Manchester City ended nearly a month of training in the United States, flying from Los Angeles to Dublin, the capital of Ireland, and participating in the Dublin Super Cup here.

This is a sports company owned by the well-known TV production company Endemo, and it was founded in cooperation with the Football Association of Ireland. It hopes to create a traditional event similar to Ajax's Amsterdam Cup and Arsenal's Emirates Cup.

This time, Manchester City, Inter Milan and Celtic were invited for the first session. At the same time, a group of stars were selected from the Irish Premier League to form a star alliance.

Manchester City's first game is against the Irish star team.

Because Manchester City traveled a long distance and flew from the United States to Ireland to participate in the competition, the team consumed more energy on the journey. Once they arrived in Ireland, they took a short break to participate in the game, which led to their unsatisfactory performance in the first half.

But in the second half, after the team made adjustments, it quickly killed the Quartet.

Consecutive goals were scored in the five billionth minute, fifty-ninth minute, seventy-fifth minute and eighty-third minute respectively.

In the end, Manchester City defeated the Irish Stars 4-0.

...

The challenge of this event is that two games are played in two days.

The next day, Manchester City ushered in the heaviest match of the Super Cup against Inter Milan.

As a result, only 67 seconds into the game, Leighton Bynes cut in from the left and passed the ball. David Silva passed the defender and shot low with his left foot. The ball was slightly deflected, but Van Persie in front of the goal followed the trend After a bit of rubbing, the ball rubbed directly into Cesar's goal.

One to zero!

Afterwards, Manchester City dominated and Inter Milan took a defensive stance.

In the 18th minute, Yaya Toure scored the ball, Leighton Bynes made a cross from the left, and Suarez made a push in front of the goal, 2-0!

Yes, Gao Shen tried a double forward style in this game, allowing Van Persie and Suarez to partner.

Before the end of the first half, Van Persie's powerful header almost scored another goal for Manchester City.

But only 32 seconds into the second half, Stankovic made a mistake in the backcourt pass, David Silva sent a through ball, Suarez inserted a push shot in time, and expanded the score for Manchester City, 3-0!

Before the end of the game, Hazard dribbled the ball from the left and made consecutive passes. Robinho then pushed in front of the goal and scored.

Four to zero!

Manchester City successfully defeated Inter Milan and won the Irish Super Cup.

...

When Manchester City is still on the way back to Manchester from Ireland, European football has been shocked by Manchester City's warm-up performance.

The main reason is not that Manchester City lacks such strength, but that the painting style does not match Gao Shen's past performance at all.

You know, in the past few years, from Naples to Manchester City, Gao Shen has always paid little attention to the warm-up match, which caused his warm-up match results to be extremely stretched.

Some fans even ridiculed that his warm-up match results were at the amateur level.

There is nothing wrong with that.

But this time, Manchester City played five consecutive victories in the warm-up match, which is unbelievable.

Is this like a team brought out by Gao Shen?

More importantly, in these five games, Manchester City really played very excitingly, and the offensive was like a wave.

So much so that at Manchester Airport, when Gao Shen took the team off the plane, he was blocked by the media reporters on the scene.

Regarding the team's performance this summer, Gao Shen expressed that he was also very surprised.

"This proves that we are in a very good state and stage!"

Gao Shen's words are not false.

Manchester City's internal competition has made the players full of energy.

It can be said that every player wants to take advantage of the summer training camp to strive for the main position in the new season.

This has led to many players, even Yaya Toure, starting their own training before the summer training camp, and they also worked very hard during the training camp. May I ask, can such a player perform well?

There are also players such as Van Persie, Suarez, Sturridge and Giroud, and the competition is also very fierce.

Gao Shen is aware of this situation.

He is also happy to use this kind of competition to make players play in a better state.

To put it bluntly, with the current lineup configuration of Manchester City, there are really few teams in European football that can be regarded by Manchester City. Even Inter Milan, the overall strength is much weaker than Manchester City.

In fact, Gao Shen still had a lot of fun during this time.

What four four two, four three three, three five two, even three three one three, he can play casually.

But it may be because the players have a more thorough understanding of his tactical concepts and cooperate with each other more tacitly. Despite Gao Shen's constant adjustments and changes in formation, they all played with ease.

Even if you don't get used to it occasionally, you will adjust quickly.

It has to be said that after the advanced command and adjustment, it is also more handy.

...

The time is coming to August soon.

European summer transfers have also begun to enter the final stage.

Although most of the demeanor was taken away by the local tycoon Paris Saint-Germain, the spending power of the Premier League team is still quite good.

For example, Manchester United successively introduced Phil Jones, Ashley Young and De Gea. These three players cost Manchester United more than 50 million pounds in total, which can be regarded as Ferguson's efforts to win from the board of directors.

Missing the top four in the league in a row, Arsenal is also learning from the pain. This summer has introduced players such as Chamberlain, Mertesacker, Santos, Arteta, but captain Cesc Fabregas transferred for 25.5 million pounds. Barcelona, ​​let Arsenal's midfield strength be hit hard.

The gunner sells the captain every year, and the situation is also sad.

All of this is to prepare for the construction of a new stadium.

Villas-Boas, Mourinho's right-hand man, returned to Stamford Bridge after his successful coaching at Porto.

He was an assistant coach before, but now he is a head coach, and his status is completely different. However, in terms of signings, players such as Lukaku, Juan Mata and Romeu are all powerful for Chelsea's overall strength. Replenish.

Boas announced as soon as he took office that he would rejuvenate Chelsea, and even vaguely pointed the finger at Drogba, Lampard and Terry, etc., because they are not young. small.

Sometimes, Gao Shen has to say with emotion that character determines destiny.

Boas was young and energetic, and he wanted to take the veterans to the knife as soon as he came up. If this kind of person has no problems, it is a strange thing.

It's as if a manager of a corporate department came in by air, didn't do anything, just lit the fire when he came up, and it would definitely be over.

Although the signings of the rich teams are not small, the overall signings of the Premier League are not strong.

Even if it is like Tottenham Hotspur, Friedl was introduced by free transfer, Parker was introduced for 5.5 million, but at the same time, O'Hara was sold for 3.5 million, and Parra was sold for 8 million. Theos, and sold Robbie Keane for 3.3 million.

In this way, Tottenham actually made money in the transfer market.

Others like Everton, like Manchester City, have nothing to lose. Instead of signing in, they sold them and made money.

So much so that when the media finally conducted statistics on the transfer market in England, they discovered a very strange thing.

That is, Leeds United from the British Championship actually ranked fifth with a transfer investment of 19 million pounds, only less than Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.

More importantly, Leeds United has introduced a total of more than 20 players, which can be said to have created the most in European football.

This surprised everyone even more.

Of course, this only considers signings. If the net investment is counted, Leeds United is one of the few profitable teams.

After all, one Jonathan Howson earned Leeds United £10 million.

Queens Park Rangers brought in a total of six players and spent just over £16 million.

Because of the introduction of Jonathan Howson, the introduction of players such as Wright Phillips was stillborn.

Gao Shen really wanted to know what kind of expression Mark Hughes would have?

Or, will he regret it?
