Chapter 626： Premier League opening

Chapter 626 The opening of the Premier League

Regarding whether Balotelli should start in the first round of the league, the coaching staff is still somewhat divided, but in the end Gao Bo decided to keep his promise. Since he said that the striker with the most goals in the warm-up match can start, then Balotelli should start. That is a certainty.

In Manchester City, Gao Bo still emphasizes the overall ground coordination and promotion. At the same time, unlike Atletico Madrid, in order to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, he requires the pass to be simpler and more aggressive!

Like a backcourt like in La Liga, in a fast pace like the Premier League, the possibility of mistakes may rise, and from the lineup point of view, this Manchester City lineup is indeed suitable for playing fast.

Whether it’s the midfielder Eriksson or David Silva, these are players who are very good at receiving passes and moving in the frontcourt. They are physically flexible, and Hazard and Griezmann on both sides are like two. A fist, Manchester City's main point of attack, is to create opportunities for the two wings.

Therefore, the choice of center will not have much impact on the team's tactics, which is why Gao Bo dared to start Balotelli.

.......

The 2012-2013 season's Premier League opener was launched between West Ham United and Aston Villa. The two teams played a very dull game at the Bubble Stadium. The midfield tug of war continued until the end of the game. In the 78th minute, the deadlock of the game was finally broken. With a corner kick, West Ham United beat Aston Villa 1-0 at home and got a good start.

After that, the Premier League games started in full.

Manchester City’s game started on the second day after the opening game. At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City greeted Southampton’s challenge.

Regarding the results of this game, most media believe that Manchester City will easily win at home, and it is difficult for Southampton to challenge Manchester City.

However, there is a lot of speculation about Manchester City's start.

Especially in the midfield, due to the introduction of Casemiro and Eriksson this season, the fans have a lot of discussions about whether these two new players will start.

The mainstream view is that Casemiro and Eriksson are just a supplement to Manchester City's midfielder, and it is difficult for them to appear on the starting list.

Because in Manchester City’s midfield, there are also David Silva, Yaya Toure, Barry and others. Casemiro and Eriksson have never played in the Premier League before, and they have not played in the five major leagues. Other leagues have proved themselves, and these two players may have difficulty occupying a place in Manchester City's midfield.

As for the candidates on the front line, people do not think there will be any changes. Griezmann and Hazard, these two players are the two most expensive players introduced by Manchester City this season. Griezmann spent 1.5 on Manchester City. Billion, and Hazard spent 35 million pounds.

In general, Gao Bo did not continue to spend big money to sign up, this is not for Manchester City to save money-the Abu Dhabi consortium does not need him to save money. But Gao Bo feels that his lineup is enough. Even if the Manchester City lineup is changed all over, it is meaningless, because in his opinion, he does not need to be a top star in every position.

Because he still has cards! Winning the Champions League and La Liga last season has enriched his card configuration. As long as his card configuration in this game is based on offensive and defensive balance.

On the defensive side, the interception card must be equipped.

The physical fitness card is also a card that Gao Bo likes to use very much. In the final stage of the game, the physical advantage will allow the team to continuously suppress the opponent. In addition, in terms of offense, Gao Bo is equipped with an orange card.

[Game card (orange): shooting rate of +15%; success rate of internal cut +15%]

This is the card chosen by Gao Bo after winning the Champions League.

This card is fully equipped for the advantage of the two sides. Hazard kicks the left with his right foot, and Griezmann kicks the right with his left foot. Gao Bo completely uses the two players as wingers with inverted feet. One of the main offensive methods of foot wingers, so it is necessary to do something in this regard.

As for the center, Gao Bo's requirements will not be too high. Therefore, this is why even if Balotelli is allowed to start, Gao Bo feels that there is no major problem.

As for Balotelli can score?

He only needs to play a role as a lead.

After Gao Bo shook hands with the Southampton coach, he sat on the coach's bench amidst the cheers and applause of the fans at the Etihad Stadium.

The TV screen keeps close-ups of Gao Bo.

This is Gao Bo's first game in the Premier League, and it seems to be somewhat memorable.

"Gao Bo is no stranger to this stadium. In the FA Cup two years ago, he defeated Manchester City in this stadium! Now, he returns to England with the aura of a European champion coach. He has become The helm of Etihad! Where will Manchester City be led by him? We will wait and see."

The commentator Letkinson said.

When the players from both sides were standing in the player channel lined up and preparing to play, the Sky TV commentator Letkinson was already sitting in the commentary stand at the Etihad Stadium. After speaking, he picked up a document. This is The start of this game.

"It seems that all of us guessed wrong!!" Letkinson said when he saw Manchester City's starting list. "In this game, coach Gao Bo's starter was unexpected, and not many people can even guess it!"

"First of all, the goalkeeper. The starting goalkeeper is the young Oblak. The 1993-born goalkeeper is only 19 years old this year. He replaced Hart in the starting position!"

Not just Letkinson, even Manchester City fans, were surprised by Oblak's start.

As the national gate of England, Joe Hart has firmly occupied the position of Manchester City's No. 1 goalkeeper since October 2007. It has been five years now.

Although the outside world often ridicules Joe Hart as the background board of various world waves, it does not show that Joe Hart is powerful-it seems that only World waves can break his goal!

And where is Oblak sacred?

The second goalkeeper from Benfica?

When the starting list came out, the English reporters in the media gallery began to talk.

England is sitting on the bench, and the 19-year-old who was born in 1993 starts.

This makes these English reporters very upset. No matter how bad Hart is, can he be worse than a goalkeeper who is less than twenty years old?

"Oblak's start is really surprising." Letkinson's commentary partner Redknapp said, "Maybe Oblak is really a very talented goalkeeper, but at such a young age, Starting in the opening game of the Premier League, the young teenager wonders if he can handle the pressure."

Redknapp believes that it is undoubtedly a risk to make Oblak a starter. His performance is good. If his performance is not good, in the media environment like England can this teenager carry it? It’s really worrying to live under pressure.

"We hope Oblak can show a good performance, the next is the back line, the center-back combination is Kompany's partner Kolo Toure, left back Kolarov, right back... Trippier, This is another unexpected starter. Coach Gao Bo likes to use young players very much!"

"The bigger changes occurred in the midfield. Both Casemiro and Eriksson, who were introduced this season, appeared in the starting positions. Another midfielder was David Silva. In terms of the formation, Casemiro is in the center, standing in the midfielder position, in front of him is David Silva on the left and Eriksson on the right, two attacking midfielders and a defensive midfielder. The configuration. While Yaya Toure and Milner sat on the bench, Manchester City’s second captain, Barry, simply did not enter the squad for the game....."

"At the forward line, Hazard on the left and Gleizman on the right. It is not surprising that these two players started in the line. At the forward line, there were rumors that Manchester City was about to sell Balotelli actually appeared in the starting center position. on!!"

When people talked about Manchester City's starting lineup, the players have already entered the stadium.

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, players from both sides stood in their respective positions and waited for the start of the game.

The referee and the fourth official on the sidelines are checking the table!

The Etihad Stadium was brightly lit and the Manchester City fans in the stands stood up.

Although the team is still spending huge sums of money this season, the difference is that the team ushered in a true champion coach!

The fans looked at the stadium, waiting for the start of the season.

Hope...this is no longer a bitter season. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit everyone's reading academy
