Eight Hundred and Twenty First, We Want 4 Crowns!
The whole world says that Gao Shen has mastered the winning code on the football field.
So, his team always wins.
The British media described Gao Shen as a wizard from Hogwarts.
But only he himself knows that the wand in his hand sometimes fails.
For example, this afternoon on January 7, 2012.
...
When Gao Shen walked into the locker room of the home team at the Intihad Stadium, he could clearly feel the flustered mood of the players.
That is fear!
In fact, many people have forgotten that the more often a person wins, the more afraid of losing.
The more you are afraid of losing, the easier it is to lose, and the worse you lose.
Therefore, they need to walk on thin ice in every game, work hard, and pay more than others, so as to have a chance to continue to win the next game.
The interesting thing about football games is that it has never been just a contest of skills and tactics, but also a competition of people.
It's like a war.
Gao Shen is very aware of this, because he has seen the essence and thoughts of countless famous head coaches over the years.
In the end, he slowly saw two words in every book of everyone in the tactical library, between the lines.
Heart!
...
In the away game against Newcastle, Ferguson made a big move.
So Manchester United lost to Newcastle at St. James' Park.
In fact, this proves that Manchester United has begun to strategically abandon the league, but wants to win the FA Cup.
Especially killing Manchester City.
This game is definitely not just an FA Cup knockout match, but it may be a watershed.
Manchester City is very difficult now, not only because of the schedule, but also because of the pressure.
Premier League, Champions League, League Cup, Club World Cup, and now the FA Cup...
Manchester City's game pressure is greater than any other team this season. Although they keep winning all the way, every player is under heavy psychological pressure.
Ferguson is a master of psychology. He knows better than anyone else that if a situation like Manchester City is defeated on a certain front, the previous good situation is likely to be completely reversed.
This kind of half-time collapse has happened many times in the top European leagues.
No one can make an exception.
Because, this is human nature!
It's as if everyone fears, dreads, and resists failure.
Therefore, he kept his big move, and in the first half of the third round of the FA Cup at the Intihad Stadium, Manchester City was a little confused at once.
Zero to two, this is the final score of the first half.
The first goal was a tackle from Kompany inside the box.
Obviously did not trip Nani, obviously was a very successful tackle defense, but the referee signaled a yellow card and a penalty kick.
The second goal after that was City's own problem.
Valencia took advantage of the gap after Leighton Baines advanced forward to attack, received Sneijder's ball, drove straight in at an extremely fast speed, cut to the bottom line of the penalty area, and passed the low-level ball to the goal. Rooney shoveled in front of the goal hit.
These two goals stunned Manchester City.
...
"I'm sorry, Jordan, we need to adjust our tactics. You take a break in the second half and leave the rest to your teammates. You can go take a shower first."
As soon as Gao Shen entered the door, he went straight to Jordan Henderson, knelt down, and said softly.
After finishing speaking, he patted Henderson's thigh, "Don't worry, in the next round of the FA Cup, I will let you start and play the whole game as compensation!"
Gao Shen even showed a confident smile.
Henderson was surprised. He was still so confident at this time?
But what Gao Shen said naturally carried an unquestionable authority in the dressing room of Manchester City.
Everyone believes in him!
"Understood, boss." Henderson stood up.
The England midfielder looked at the crowd, nodded and said: "Leave the rest to everyone, and I will face it with you!"
After speaking, he left amidst the applause of his teammates.
Gao Shen still didn't say anything, just stood there and waited.
One of the important reasons why the combination of Henderson, David Silva and Fernandinho will be played in midfield tonight is that the past few rounds have been too dense and Manchester City had to disrupt The original rotation mechanism.
For example, Rakitic is injured, Javi Martinez is also slightly injured, and they both need to rotate and rest.
It is the season of the twelfth lunar month, and the schedule is so frequent, Gao Shen is afraid that they will be hurt again and again.
Gao Shen originally wanted David Silva and De Bruyne to start, but considering Manchester United's midfielders, especially Ferguson's big moves, he had to be cautious, so he let Henderson replace De Bruyne. Browne starts.
Of course, Henderson played really well.
The midfielder's progress in Manchester City is very fast, and the trend is also obvious. Gao Shen even started him in many games, and he is already an important member of Manchester City's midfielder.
The score of zero to two is more like an accident.
Especially the penalty kick, it was terrible.
The post-Christmas schedule itself puts a lot of psychological pressure on the players, and another penalty kick will make Manchester City somewhat chaotic.
But now, there is no choice but to attack.
...
De Bruyne quickly walked into the dressing room.
Before the first half was over, he had already received a message from the head coach asking him to warm up.
After entering, he greeted his teammates and sat down in his seat.
But Gao Shen still didn't say anything, he just stood like this.
It was quiet in the locker room.
The original heavy panting gradually calmed down, and the sweat was wiped away.
Many players even closed their eyes and rested.
They have been with Gao Shen for almost three years, and they are very clear about Gao Shen's intentions at this moment.
Just calm them down!
It wasn't until Carlo came out from the side that Gao Shen took a deep breath and turned around in the locker room.
He walked from here to there, from there to here...
Everyone can see that he is brewing and thinking at this moment.
Gareth Bale took out a jersey from the cabinet behind him and put it on himself, covering up his strong tendons, and then he stared at Gao Shen.
Suarez, David Silva, Robben...
The same goes for everyone else.
When all eyes were on Gao Shen, he walked back and forth again, and finally stood in front of the tactical board.
Carlo has already helped him set up the formations of both sides and the positions of the players.
Gao Shen knew everything without looking at it, but he still looked at it carefully, and after confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and looked directly at all the players.
Carlo has always been very cautious in doing things, and almost never makes mistakes.
"Everyone."
As soon as Gao Shen opened his mouth, the air seemed to become tense.
"You all know me, I am a Virgo, I even suspect that I have a serious perfection complex, so I always resist the flaws, it will be like a needle, keep pricking me, let me Very painful."
"It's like losing a game."
"I don't like to lose, you all know, I like to win, I want to win every game."
"When I decide to participate in an event, I will definitely do my best. I will try my best to reach the final and win the final."
"So, you can understand, my belief is to win and the championship!"
"It's hard, guys!"
"I know, I've always known, it's very, very difficult because no team is going to win all the games, win all the championships, it's impossible, it's always going to lose, it's always going to lose the championship."
"But its significance lies in that it is always urging me and asking me to do my best in every game!"
Gao Shen's words made everyone in the locker room nod their heads.
He has been practicing his own concept all the time, and it has never changed.
"Before the season, I told you that from the moment we won the Champions League, we had only one enemy."
"Not Manchester United, not Chelsea, not Barcelona, not Real Madrid, not everyone, but ourselves!"
"Yes, after winning the Champions League, our opponent is only ourselves!"
"On the way to win the Champions League, we have proved to the whole world that we are the strongest team in the world, and we don't need to prove anything anymore."
"The only thing we need to do is to keep challenging ourselves, constantly breaking through ourselves, and constantly defeating ourselves!"
"It takes courage and determination more than ever, my boys!"
"I said, our goal this season is the quadruple, we want the quadruple, guys!"
"I need you to show your courage and determination and show your strength!"
"In the second half, we need to press up and create more trouble for our opponents."
"Manchester United will definitely come up, they don't have the advantage of us in passing the ball and they won't let us have the ball for a long time, so they will go up."
"When we're pressed, pass the ball to Kompany and Boateng."
"The full-backs go out and control the ball in the middle. Silva and De Bruyne must actively respond and hit the opponent's two ribs a lot. If the ball is on the right side, we will hit the left rib. If the ball is on the left side, we will hit the right side. rib."
"Silva and De Bruyne have to take the ball forward decisively and pass forward to create more trouble for the opponent. Let the opponent see our courage and determination and let them feel the danger. Make them afraid and terrified!"
At the end of Gao Shen's speech, he almost roared out.
But soon, he calmed down again.
"I have no doubt that we have the strength to reverse the situation. Although it is difficult, I know that you can do it, and you will definitely do it!"
Having said that, the whistle to urge the venue has already sounded.
Gao Shen clapped his palms vigorously, "Okay, that's about it."
"Finally, I want to say one more word to you."
"Show your courage and determination, and have confidence in yourself. You are the champions of the Champions League and a powerful team aiming to win the quadruple. We should not be afraid of any opponent, because you are the strongest!"
"I will keep watching you from the sidelines. I believe that you will not let me down."
After finishing speaking, Gao Shen applauded vigorously to signal disbandment and was ready to go on stage.
Before going on stage, everyone came to Gao Shen and hugged him.
