In his deep past life memories, his father has always been a very honest person.
He is not very good at work, he is not good at sociability, and he doesn't know how to work hard, so his career has not improved. He gets along very well with his neighbors, but that is the result of perseverance. He often returns home and feels aggrieved. , closed the door to make himself feel useless, and when he went out again, he was at peace with the neighbors around him.
Gao Shen's mother also made trouble with him about these things, but it was just a trouble.
Until he was an adult and was about to leave home, the father and son sat in the yard all night and chatted a lot. Among them, there was a sentence from the father, which Gao Shen still remembers even now.
If the money is gone, we can earn it again; if the job is lost, we can find it again; but if there is a hole in our heart, there is no way to make it up.
This sentence had a great impact on Gao Shen, because later on, whether it was studying, working, or coaching after transmigration, he has always practiced it. No matter what he does, he is clear and candid, but asks With a clear conscience.
From Real Madrid to Naples to Manchester City now, Gao Shen has a certain style of doing things. For example, before announcing the roster, he would say a few words to the players who failed to make it to the roster, basically telling him why, explaining The reason why I didn't put him on the big list.
Not only that, even if he entered the squad, Gao Shen would personally tell the player why he was arranged to start or be a substitute.
Over the years, Gao Shen has always adhered to this habit and has always been upright.
Therefore, in his team, even if the player fails to participate in the game and is very dissatisfied with his employment habits, no one will ever accuse him of any conspiracy or tricks in management in the locker room.
On the contrary, the vast majority of people are full of praise for the sophisticated style of doing things.
Gradually, Gao Shen also felt the benefits of this style of work, that is, it can reduce a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings in communication and save a lot of trouble.
…
Let Robben come off the bench!
This is a decision made by Gao Shen, which makes the coaching staff feel very strange.
On the one hand, Robben is eager to fight now, and the Dutchman's condition seems to be getting better. It's a big hidden danger to let him be a substitute at this time. What happened to Robben in the second half?
On the other hand, if the situation in the first half is unfavorable, Arsenal takes the lead, and even concedes two or three goals, how much pressure will Robben play?
On the other hand, from a tactical point of view, it is not appropriate to have Robben as a substitute.
The best players should play in the most critical positions, not hide him.
But Gao Shen still insisted on his own opinion.
His reason is very simple, he believes that Wenger will play more conservative tactics, and may even play a three-back midfielder.
"I can't take my best player to fight the opponent's iron plate!"
Robben is like a razor-sharp dagger, and for him to be effective, it's better to wait for the moment when Arsenal's defences loosen and crack, rather than gouge the walls with a dagger.
Not only that, but Gao Shen also asked Lucas to inform the press and public relations department that he was going to stimulate Arsenal at the pre-match press conference in the afternoon. If Wenger can press out to attack Manchester City, that is what Gao Shen hopes to see the most. arrived.
The coaching staff disagreed, but fully supported Gao Shen in doing so.
After the coaching meeting, Gao Shen returned to the office and asked someone to find Robben.
He was sitting on the sofa, mulling over his words when he saw Robben for a while.
The Dutchman is eager to fight now, eager to prove himself, especially his competitive spirit, and he is a little uncertain.
If Robben's attitude persists, then Gao Shen will consider changing his decision.
After all, to put it bluntly, it is the players who actually play.
…
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Robben knocked on the door of Gao Shen's office and greeted him with a smile.
Seeing his smile, Gao Shen suddenly felt a little troubled and didn't know how to speak.
He really hadn't seen Robben's smile for a long time.
But his intuition and analysis told him that against Arsenal, the substitute Robben could play the greatest threat.
"Alyan, come and sit." Gao Shen hurriedly greeted.
After arranging Robben to sit next to him, Gao Shen poured him another glass of water and chatted with him about the situation after returning to the team for training, as well as his current mood and state.
We chatted a lot, and finally got a little embarrassed.
"Boss, is there something wrong?" Robben also noticed.
It was really awkward.
It's not at all sophisticated style.
Gao Shen nodded, and immediately said his decision.
At the beginning, Robben's reaction was really great. He repeatedly told Gao Shen that there was absolutely no problem with his state. He felt that he was in the best stage of the past year. He could play and play the whole game. .
But Gao Shen quickly comforted him and explained his intentions to him.
Now Robben really understood.
Just letting him come off the bench is somewhat unacceptable.
"Boss, I understand what you mean, but even if I play the whole game, I can still play the threat you said in the second half, you believe me!" Robben still wanted to start.
"I understand, I definitely believe that you can do it." Gao Shen followed Robben's words, nodded and said, "But Aryan, my intuition and analysis, let me judge that Wenger will take a more cautious approach in this game. Tactically, when the opponent is physically strong, the game is likely to become a stalemate."
"De Nielsen, Alexander Song and Diaby, if Arsenal use a three-back midfielder, your space will be severely limited, so my idea is, in the exhaustion stage, you sit on the bench and study the opponent, wait until At the critical moment of fighting the bayonet, you go up and play a key role."
After a pause, Gao Shen reminded again: "Don't think that Wenger will stick to the end, I can guarantee that he will definitely not, he will also hide his most threatening weapon, and wait until it is almost the same as us. I just took it out and used it.”
"So, when it's time to fight the bayonet, your performance will affect whether we can defeat the opponent at the critical moment."
"You are the substitute, but all my bets, the hope of the team winning, are all on you!"
When Gao Shen said this, Robben also felt Gao Shen's frankness, because he could have spoken more euphemistically and found more reasons and excuses, but Gao Shen chose to tell the truth.
"Boss, how sure are you?" Robben asked with concern.
"70%!" Gao Shen pondered for a while and said.
Seventy percent?
High enough!
No one knows whether Gao Shen's judgment is accurate or not, but since he has such a judgment, it is normal to make such a decision, and Robben can also understand Gao Shen's choice.
"I believe in you, I listen to you." Robben said with a smile.
Gao Shen was a little surprised.
He did not expect that Robben would be so refreshing.
Originally, he was still thinking that he might have to spend a lot of time talking, and he might even have to persuade him twice.
But from Robben's face, Gao Shen saw the smile and felt trust.
Perhaps, the Dutchman really trusted his intuition and judgment.
The members of the coaching staff did not believe his judgment, but did not want him to have a conflict with Robben because of this.
As a head coach, in fact, what Gao Shen has to consider is often a variety of issues.
Now, Robben agrees, that's a lot easier.
…
That afternoon, Gao Shen attended the pre-match press conference at the Carrington training base and announced the 18-man squad for Arsenal, including Robben, Adam Lallana and others.
As for who starts and who is on the bench, Gao Shen will not be revealed until a moment before the game.
But in an interview with media reporters, Gao Shen deliberately provoked Wenger. He said he believed it would be a wonderful game, because Wenger is by no means a conservative head coach.
"It will be a battle between the two most attacking teams in the Premier League!"
Gao Shen even "expects" that this will be a goal battle.
Just today, the Gunners' captain, Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas, told the Guardian that Arsenal are strong enough this season to even draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford, which brings Arsenal huge confidence.
"There are teams that don't let us play our own way, use some questionable tactics, but we're not going to be intimidated by that, we used a draw to prove that we're not going to be bullied by anyone."
Yes, Cesc Fabregas used the word bully.
It's talking about Arsenal's draw away from Manchester United, but it's actually looking forward to this battle against Manchester City. UU Reading
In this regard, Gao Shen actually agreed and supported Cesc Fabregas' remarks, hoping that both teams can play their own styles and contribute a wonderful offensive feast to the Premier League and fans around the world.
How about it? Wenger, let's go together on the offensive, whoever guards first is the dog!
However, Gao Shen quickly changed the conversation and first expressed his respect for Wenger, but he did not think that Wenger would take this kind of point-to-point attack with Manchester City on the road.
"Let's wait and see!" Gao Shen smiled confidently.
Some media also asked about the fact that when Gao Shen was coaching Naples, he once said that he wanted to show the world how to beat Arsenal. As a result, his Naples really beat Arsenal.
"Now, Mr. Gao, you have come to the Premier League. We are all looking forward to it. Do you still have the confidence to demonstrate to the world once again how to beat Arsenal?"
For this question, Gao Shen has long been prepared.
"You are obviously from the London media, how do you feel that you have a **** feud with Arsenal, and wish the Gunners would lose as badly as possible?"
There was a burst of laughter in the conference hall.
Lest the world be in chaos, this is the basic conduct of all media reporters.
"The first two times I beat Arsenal, I brought two different teams and used two different sets of tactics. Now at Manchester City, I can demonstrate the use of the third one, so you can take it seriously when the time comes. !"
The media reporters at the scene were immediately excited.
Changing tricks to abuse gunmen?
Just thinking about it makes me feel so excited!
