Five Hundred and Sixty-Three Kill!
Latest website: On the afternoon of August 15th, Blackburn Ewood Park.
The third game of the first round of the Premier League, Manchester City away to Blackburn.
In the home team's locker room before the game, Blackburn coach Allardyce got the visiting team's starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: Neuer.
Defensive line: Felipe, David Luiz, Kompany and Zabaleta.
Midfield: David Silva, Xavi Martinez and Rakitic.
Forwards: Robinho, Suarez and Robben.
When Allardyce saw the starting lineup, his hand visibly shook.
Manchester City's squad is really strong!
David Silva, Rakitic, David Luiz, Robinho and Robben, these are all well-known stars in the European first-line, all of them are outstanding, and some are even world-class.
Judging from their past experience, Neuer, Suarez, and others must also be very strong.
Although there is a lot of commotion outside, in the Premier League professional circle, everyone believes that Manchester City this season is capable of hitting the championship.
Also, can this group of players adapt to the Premier League?
Both Robinho and Robben made it clear before the game that they hope to regain their best form in the new season. According to Manchester City's report, these two players have performed extremely hard in pre-season training. Robben is on the left and Robinho is on the right, forming the Devil's Wings.
Suarez is not the kind of high-center striker that Gao Shen liked in the past, but judging from the situation in the warm-up game, the Uruguayan striker has a strong individual ability and is very comprehensive, and his scoring efficiency in Ajax is also very good.
In 64 games, he scored 39 goals and 28 assists, which is also eye-catching enough in the Eredivisie.
But the key is, can he adapt to the Premier League?
Thinking of this, Allardyce really felt a little tricky.
He was the first man in the Premier League to test Gao Shen and Manchester City, which was unfortunate.
I believe in today's battle,
Managers of all teams across the Premier League are watching.
They all want to see what the team that Gaoshen spent more than 200 million euros built looks like?
Is it pulling the hips like in the warm-up game? Or is it really like in the past, as soon as the official game arrives, the standard is played?
...
When the players put on shin pads, put on their jerseys and were ready to play at any time, Allardyce also explained the precautions for today's game, especially on the defensive side, which he attached great importance to.
Seeing everyone was ready, Allardyce motioned to assistant coach Neil McDonald to slowly lower the projector.
"Before walking on the court, I hope everyone can watch this video, I believe it will give you strength!"
As he said that, a video clip was played on the projector. It was a clip from the movies [Gladiator] and [Spartan 300 Warriors], which were edited together and turned into a motivational video.
This is a trick that Gao Shen has used before, and the effect is very good. Allardyce used his own way to return to him, and used it on Gao Shen and his Manchester City.
The battle is imminent, and the hearts of the players have long been excited. Now that I saw this carefully edited and heart-warming movie clip, each and every one of them blushed, as if they had been beaten with blood.
"Guys, you are like the warriors in the movie who are holding swords and fighting to the last moment. I believe that the soul of warriors will give you supreme strength and help you defeat your opponents on the court!"
The players stood up one by one excitedly and shouted loudly.
"kill!"

Almost at the same time, Gao Shen also got Blackburn's starting lineup in the visiting team's coaching bench.
Goalkeeper: Robinson.
Defence: Warnock, Givet, Samba and Jakobsen.
Midfield: Pedelson, Nzonzi, Andrews and Dioff.
Forwards: Jason Roberts and Santa Cruz.
This is Blackburn's regular play last season, using 442 at home and 4231 away.
Allardyce relied on such home and away tactics last season to take Blackburn out of the relegation zone under a very unfavorable situation, and once again achieved his reputation as a relegation expert.
But now, the relegation specialist is heading for a brand new season.
Manchester City's players are also ready, but they are still sitting in their seats, motionless, just looking at the head coach in front of them, because they have heard Rakitic say that before every game, the main Coaches make routine mobilizations.
"He is the best head coach I have ever met and is good at mobilizing players' emotions. Every time we listen to his mobilization, we can't wait to go up and fight!" David Luiz said.
This also made Manchester City's players very much looking forward to Gao Shen's mobilization before Manchester City's first game.
Gao Shen also made full preparations early.
...
"Forgot when, I once heard such a passage."
The locker room was so silent that only the breathing of the players was left, which made Gao Shen's voice extremely strong and powerful.
"He said there are two ways of living for everyone."
When Gao Shen speaks, his hands will slightly cooperate with a little movement, which is more infectious and makes it easy for players to listen.
"It's like a grass on the ground. Although you work hard to live, absorb the rain and sunshine, and grow every year, you just don't grow much, because you are just a grass."
"All passers-by can step on you and trample you. They will not suffer because of your pain, nor will they pity you because you are trampled, because they can't see you at all!"
The players all listened in silence, and emotions and thoughts were seized at once.
Don't people live in this world like that insignificant grass?
"There is another kind of life that is like a tree. Maybe we are nothing now, maybe we are buried deep in the dirt, and there may be countless people stepping on our heads, but we are still living strong and unyielding. "
"We absorb the nutrients of the soil, we let ourselves grow and grow, and one day we will emerge from the soil, and we will face the wind and rain, and continue to grow stronger and stronger."
"One day, we will grow into a towering tree, and we will let all people see us, even if he is far away; we will give shelter to all those who come near us, and shield them from the wind. rain."
When Gao Shen said this, his fists were already clenched tightly, his teeth were clenched, and every sentence was said very heavily and with great force.
This left all the players deeply infected.
"Here, I sincerely hope that all our Manchester City players can live as strong and unyielding as trees. I hope that each of you can finally drill out of the soil and grow into a towering tree!"
"Just from this afternoon, from this game, from this moment!"
This high-level speech came from an article he had read in his previous life. He did not have very touching words, nor was he too provocative or exaggerated, but used a very plain way to tell everyone a simple statement. the truth.
If you don't want to be trampled on, you don't want to be ignored, and you don't want to be pitied, you must make yourself stronger!
At this moment, it is very appropriate for Gao Shen to use this group of Manchester City players in today's Manchester City.
And each of them obviously heard the profound intention.

"What we are going to broadcast live for everyone is the third game of the first round of the Premier League in the 2009-10 season."

"6,000 people vs. 24,000 people, Manchester City is not at a disadvantage at all, it's really good!"
"In the past six home games, Blackburn have won four and two draws against Manchester City, maintaining an impressive record of unbeaten, and many Manchester City players have just landed in the Premier League this summer. Can they adapt to the Premier League? Rhythm and style, that's also an issue."

"We heard a huge burst of cheers from the scene."
"The Manchester City manager stepped out of the tunnel."
