Chapter 627

Chapter six hundred and twenty seventh at one o'clock

At this time, Gao Bo didn't know what a serious mistake he made to put Balotelli in the starting lineup....

In fact, Gao Bo believed that he was well prepared before the game. Before the game, he talked to Balotelli alone.

"Listen, Mario! I can't change you, but I'll do what I say! You're my starting striker for this game, and I hope you'll take this opportunity, you're talented, but there are talented players in the world. There are too many, so I don’t care whether you can cherish your talent or not, but as long as you play, you must play well for me, don’t have too much physical contact with the opponent, if you lose the ball, don’t be angry, don’t have Any excesses, if someone provokes you, don't have any reaction, even if the referee makes a wrong decision, don't have a reaction!"

Gao Bo, who was standing next to the coach's bench, recalled his advice to Balotelli before the game, and he really meant it hard.

At this time, Balotelli, who stepped on the ball in the middle circle, was expressionless and did not know what he was thinking.

Southampton manager Nigel Atkins stared at Balotelli.

If Southampton has any chance of winning on the road, the key point lies in Balotelli. Atkins was staring at Balotelli when he got Manchester City's starting roster. name.

On the football field, some means have nothing to do with technical and tactical...

Southampton centre-back Fonte is also eyeing Balotelli.

In his mind were the words that manager Atkins said before the game: "Manchester City are a very strong opponent, the only chance we have to win away is with Balotelli, I don't care what you do, Go piss him off! Let him get out of control!!"

Fonte recalled some "interesting stories" before Balotelli. He knew that this is a striker who is easily provoked. As a central defender, how to arouse the emotions of a forward is not the best of Fonte. On the one hand, but he must know how to do it.

.........

Balotelli didn't know he was being targeted, and he felt good about himself.

Tevez and Gomez are both gone, Dzeko did not perform well last season, and Vardy has struggled in the Premier League these past few seasons. In Balotelli's view, this is his own retake of the starting lineup. Great opportunity!

Yes, when Balotelli's brain is not hot, he is still normal.

Only by sitting firmly in the starting lineup can I have the capital to show off, and...money is a good thing. If I sit on the bench for another season, I am afraid that I will be sold by Manchester City next season, and then I will be forced to accept a pay cut. Maybe not necessarily to a small team.

Just like every bad kid at the beginning, always thinking of the prodigal son, Balotelli thinks so at this time.

When the referee blew the whistle, Balotelli kicked the ball to David Silva!

The game officially begins! ! !

Manchester City's offense is not meant to be tested at all!

David Silva passed the ball to Casemiro, and Casemiro passed the ball to Eriksen!

Eriksen's precise long pass found Hazard directly! !

"Hazard!! The best player in Ligue 1 touches the ball for the first time in the Premier League!!!"

Letkinson applauds Hazard for this exquisite stop!

Then Hazard's performance made the fans cheer loudly!

He passed a defender in a row, then paused when facing the Southampton defender, took advantage of the rhythm time difference to easily complete the cut, and then kicked the ball from the edge of the box!

The football flies to the goal against the turf!

Southampton's goalkeeper Cole Davis fell to the ground to save and saved the ball from the bottom line!

Manchester City fans first sighed with regret, and then immediately applauded!

"As soon as the game started, Manchester City gave Southampton a dismay, and Hazard's inside shot made Davies make an embarrassing save!!"

Gao Bo also stood up and applauded after seeing Hazard's performance this time.

He applauded and said to his assistant Moya: "Did you see that, with such two sides, we are not afraid of the fast pace of the Premier League!"

Moya is also nodding. The coaching staff has simplified the team's tactics and emphasized the rapid progress of both sides. For this, Moya, who has more than ten years of experience in La Liga, is somewhat skeptical, but Gao Bo knows England better than him. football.

Here, simple and fast football styles are prevalent, and the loose penalty scale is also encouraging physical confrontation.

Therefore, Gao Bo asked his players to speed up the passing speed and tear the opponent's defense with a quick pass. This is a tactical tweak made to suit the Premier League.

Since many players have no experience in the Premier League, in the first half of the season, Manchester City's main goal is to ensure the results, but also to let the new players adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League as soon as possible, and the team also began to arrange more complex tactical training .

The work of the coaching staff at Manchester City is proceeding in an orderly manner.

However, something unexpected happens all the time.

David Silva took the corner kick, the ball was grabbed by Kompany, and the Manchester City centre-back headed the ball slightly over the crossbar.

Manchester City's two goals have created a great threat.

It looks like Southampton is going to have a tough time getting out of the game on the road.

And when the televised replay of Manchester City's attack was just now, there were boos from the stands.

When the TV screen cuts back, Balotelli spreads his hands, and the referee opposite him is showing him a... red card!

Then the camera explained what happened in the penalty area.

Balotelli appeared to have a spat with Fonte after City's corner kick was over.

After that, the two kept chatting, and then Balotelli suddenly lost control of his emotions. He reached out and gave Wundt a...  

And this time did not escape the eyes of the referee.

Red card!

Not negotiable!

The TV camera gave Gao Bo.

Gao Bo opened his mouth, what else could he say?

Who would have thought that this guy Balotelli had applied for a red card before he played for less than two minutes.

This is not in Gao Bo's plan at all!

And where Gao Bo didn't see it, Wundt and Southampton's head coach Atkins looked at each other.

The two of them had smug expressions in their eyes, but they were not discovered by others, and their conspiracy succeeded.

Balotelli is just a pile of dry wood, just a little bit!

......

"I could even write a two-hundred-page book about the story of me and Balotelli at Manchester City, but it wouldn't be a big drama, but a comedy..."

Years later, when Gao Bo wrote about Balotelli in his memoirs, he wrote this sentence. 8) For more wonderful novels, welcome to visit our school
