Chapter 894

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, all the Manchester United players walked off the pitch happily.

The score of 1-0 gave them enough reasons to be satisfied with the trend of the first half. Everyone seemed to see the dawn of beating Manchester City on the road. Even manager Ferguson could not restrain the joy on his face.

Gao Han calmly stood in front of the coaching area, watching Manchester City players coming from the field one after another. They were either indignant or depressed. They seemed very dissatisfied with the result of the first half of the game, especially when they looked at Gao Han, they were even more ashamed.

The first one to bear the brunt is Fairton Henderson. The Belgian centre back saw the cold far away, but he didn't avoid it. Instead, he stepped forward with a stiff head and bowed his head awkwardly, "boss, I..."

"Well done." Gao Han didn't wait for him to finish, he took the initiative to meet him.

Fairtonheim can't believe his eyes. He's the only one doing well?

If it wasn't for his assist to the front court and didn't come back in time, could Rooney have a chance to face Harvey Martinez directly? What kind of opportunity does muhitarian get?

At this moment, Felton Heng even doubted whether Gao Han was saying something ironic?

"Although there were mistakes, the overall performance was good. Go back to have a good rest and prepare for the second half."

Gao's words really let Fairton Heng down and let him play in the second half, which proves that the coach doesn't blame him and continues to trust him, which makes him just feel a stream of blood in his head and blurt out what he wants to promise.

"Remember, you're a centre back."

High cold words let Fairton Heng all originally want to say, all swallow back to the stomach.

He knows that what Alpine needs is not a passionate commitment, but a real performance. In particular, he deliberately accentuates the central defender, hoping that he will understand that he has to consider defense first and then attack.

"I see, boss." Fairtonheim nodded as he was taught.

"Go ahead." Gao Han patted his wet shoulder, and his muscles were very strong.

After seeing off fairtonheim, Gao Han also welcomed other players one after another. Each player was dragged by him to say a few words, and then sent back to the dressing room, either to encourage, or to analyze, or to severely point out the problems in the first half.

Gao Han knows the personality of his players very well. According to different personalities, he will give different solutions.

It was not until all the players were sent back to the dressing room that Gao Han breathed heavily.

But at this moment, the Manchester City fans in the stands are still singing the team song, inspiring the players, and they have not given up.

Gao Han really likes English fans. The atmosphere of every stadium is very good. He always believes that he will miss them in the future. So now he wants to fight for them and himself.

…………

…………

In the home team's dressing room, Brian Kidd and Sergio Garcia are ready early.

As Gao Han is now responsible for more and more things, he gradually gives some work to his assistants, such as midfield and post game analysis, to Sergio Garcia.

At the half-time of every game, Sergio Garcia will analyze the trend of the game in the first half for all the players, so that everyone can have a clear idea of why they can win and why they can lose.

Sergio Garcia is one of the best analysts in European football. He has been famous for following the cold weather for many years. He is also a part-time teacher in the University of Madrid in Spain. He seems to be an authoritative expert in this field. His analysis is convincing.

Gao Han gently pushed open the door of the dressing room and stood in the door silently, listening to Sergio Garcia's analysis of the data and game trend in the first half. All the players were very obedient and serious, just like a group of students. The scene was very funny.

He also clearly remembers that when he first came to Manchester City, many of the players who worked together for the first time were very dismissive and even very suspicious of Sergio Garcia's analysis, but when Sergio Garcia threw them an analysis report, they were speechless.

After nearly two years of cooperation, they all trust Sergio Garcia's analysis.

Of course, if you want to win a football match, these cold data alone will not work, so Gao Han will not officially appear until Sergio Garcia has finished speaking.

"Time is running out. I'll make a long story short."

Gao Han, as the head coach of the team, looks kind on weekdays, but at this time, he won't cover up his momentum at all. At this time, everyone is only obedient in front of him. Who dares to retort and protest and go straight away.

"As Sergio said just now, we did a good job in defense in the first half. We can't deny our contribution in defense because of mistakes. On the contrary, in our offensive end, we didn't do as well as defense. This is the lesson we should learn in the second half."

Alpine has pulled Blaine Kidd's tactical blackboard, drawing the formation of Manchester City and Manchester United.

"From the first half of the two sides of the platoon layout, you see, United can be said to have done enough preparation in the defensive end, Cristiano is facing Mattic and O'Shea, Ferdinand and Pepe contain Benzema, so our attack to the front court after the defensive pressure is very big."

"Later, I have reminded you once. I told you not to play on the left side, but to distribute the ball to other directions. But obviously, my instruction has not been carried out

The dressing room was frighteningly quiet, and everyone, including captain Xabi Alonso, looked ashamed with their heads down.

At that time, I didn't really have a clear head on the pitch, plus the pressure of Manchester United's closing down, so

"As I said before the game, our advantage is attack. What Manchester United fear most about us is our attack. So you see, Martini is almost close to our left side, because O'Shea can't defend Cristiano Ronaldo. They need at least two people."

Everyone nodded at the same time, Mattic and O'Shea really seem to be full-time defensive Portuguese stars.

"After Mattic pulled to one side, Carrick in the middle had to be on guard against Kaka, so Leighton Baines on the right side was completely alone, so at this time, we should actively play the advantage of the right side and use the right side to pierce Manchester United's defence."

Speaking of this, Gao Han looks at Sanchez sitting in front of the wardrobe.

"Alexis, one on one, are you sure you're going to get rid of Leighton Baines?"

The Chilean winger nodded without hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "boss, give me the ball, I'll make him a sieve."

Gao Han nodded, then extended his right hand and pointed at Sanchez heavily. The meaning is very obvious. I will watch on the sidelines. If you can't do it, I will replace you with someone who can do it.

Sanchez also nodded his head solemnly.

"Alexis on the right, whether it's the ball or the rib, can upset Manchester United's defense and create opportunities for the middle and left, but we did a very bad job in the first half, we must pay attention to it in the second half."

When Gao Han said this, he looked at Xavi Alonso again, "remember, our advantage is attack, one-on-one, no one can stop our players, we should distribute the ball right reasonably, understand?"

The captain nodded solemnly, "I understand. I'm sorry, boss."

David Silva and Modric are also the key players of Alpine warning, they also play the role of distributing the ball power and directing the team's attack on the field, so they all firmly remember Alpine's words.

"At the end of the first half, we were one-to-one behind, but we didn't get a goal from our opponent, so we didn't need to be nervous or anxious. With our strength, it's not unusual to score two or three goals in the second half, provided we can't mess with ourselves."

"It was mentioned in Sergio's data just now that Manchester United's defensive line is very backward, which makes their defense very well organized and allows them to block our attack. But we can see from the reverse that our attack puts too much pressure on our opponents, so that they have to retreat further backward."

"But even so, we still seized a lot of opportunities in the first half and created threats. Ferguson should thank van der Sar. Without van der Sar, we are at least one goal ahead of Manchester United, so we don't need to doubt ourselves

"You know, goalkeepers are not everything. As long as we catch the loopholes in Manchester United's defence and fight like hell, I don't believe we can't break van der Sar's goal."

Gao's words, let all players rekindled hope, picked up confidence and fighting spirit.

"This is our home ground, Manchester City stadium, outside the stands, full of our fans, we have not lost the ball for two years, let alone to Manchester United, so in the second half we will continue to attack, continue to attack!"

"Don't you think Manchester United want to fight back? Then we'll use our attack to destroy their defense and make them unable to fight back! "

"Don't they want to back out in the half? Then we will continue to press on, press even higher, let them just stick in front of the door, let them know clearly that with their current strength, they can't expect to beat us at all! "

Alpine said here, pointing to the door of the dressing room.

"Get out of here, get on the court and tell our arch enemy whose territory this is!"

…………

…………

The visiting team's dressing room is also carrying on the final preparation and mobilization before playing.

Ferguson also analyzed the situation in the first half, as well as the possible game trend in the second half.

"Before playing, I solemnly remind you that this is the city stadium, we are facing the cold, I know him, he is a madman, one-to-one behind will make him crazy, desperate to fight back."

"We need to forget the lead in the first half, forget the goal, it doesn't mean anything to us

"The real test of this game is in the second half. I'm sure we'll meet a more terrifying, attacking and enterprising Manchester City in the second half

"At this point in the game, we have no way back. Either we will take out Manchester City tonight, here, or we will go back to Old Trafford with a defeat, and our way to the Champions League will probably stop there."

"So, guys, we're all playing with a spirit of 120000 and treating this game as a Champions League final. Only in this way can we have a chance of survival!"
