Chapter 759 Martinez's Kneeling and Licking
The next day, all the papers were talking about Manchester City's early title win!
Before the start of the season, Manchester City was not the biggest favorite to win the title, especially with the conflict between Yaya Toure and Gao Bo.
Gao Bo has just taken over the team. After all, the Premier League is a difficult league. At that time, it was generally believed that Gao Bo would have to adapt to a season before winning the championship.
However, the final result shocked everyone!
This season's Manchester City is almost like a Buddha, a god, and a god, and all the way to the league championship! !
They lead all the way, and since they became the leader, whether it is Manchester United or Chelsea, they have been under the pressure of Manchester City!
Now, Manchester City has won the Premier League championship two rounds ahead of schedule, which is already a very big lead in the Premier League!
And not only that, they also reached the final of the Champions League! !
Champions League final!
Although England is the league with the largest number of clubs that have won the Champions League in Europe, a total of four English teams have won the Champions League, and only three clubs from other countries have won the Champions League at most, such as Italy and the Netherlands.
The English clubs that have won the Champions League are Liverpool, Manchester United, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
But aside from Manchester United and Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa are decades old.
The Forest team hangs out in the lower leagues all the year round. They have played in the British Championship, League One, and even fell into the Second League for a time.
Aston Villa is in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League and has not appeared in European competitions for a long time.
Therefore, this time Manchester City reached the Champions League final, the English media naturally hopes that Manchester City will become the fifth English team to win the Champions League!
In the FA Cup, Manchester City also reached the final!
In the face of such achievements, even the most unrestricted English media will be praised at this time!
The media is generous with praise.
The fans are celebrating!
However, the Manchester City players can only put the joy of winning the championship aside,
Because the season is not over yet!
Now in front of Manchester City, there are only two most important games left!
On May 12, the fourth day after Manchester City won the Premier League, Manchester City will face Wigan Athletic at Wembley Stadium. This is the FA Cup final fight.
On May 26, also at Wembley Stadium, Manchester City will usher in the challenge of Bundesliga giants Dortmund! This is the most crucial game of the entire season for the Champions League championship! ! !
Win these two games, Manchester City's season is complete!
Although there will be a final game in four days, Gao Bo still gave the players a day off to win the championship. One night the players celebrated too late. After picking up the trophy, on the court, in the locker room, the players They kept making noise until late at night.
And after the team disbanded, most of the players went to parties together.
Gao Bo rarely participated in the players' carnival, even though he was only a little over thirty, and it could even be said that he was the same age as some players.
But he is the head coach. The difference between the head coach and the player's identities is that there is always a layer of things. If Gao Bo goes, the players will not dare to play too much.
Now that he has won the championship, Gao Bo did not stop the players from indulging. He just warned the players that after a day of vacation, whoever dares to party all night, wait for the team's internal punishment!
…
After the holidays, Manchester City quickly got into the rhythm of preparing for the FA Cup final.
The remaining two games in the league now mean nothing to Manchester City. Whether winning or losing, Manchester City are the league champions.
Although the importance of the FA Cup has declined, in any case, the FA Cup is a major championship in the English league system. To win this championship is enough to make fans excited.
For this game, the general opinion is that Manchester City will win easily, and Wigan Athletic, who have been determined to be relegated, will not cause any trouble for Manchester City.
The strength gap between the two sides is simply too great.
"Manchester City's players are worth more than ten times that of Wigan Athletic. Such a game of disparity in strength is not common in the FA Cup in recent years. Of course, except for the one between Luton and Liverpool, but that time Luton's The head coach is Gao Bo!" "Daily Mail"
"We can't say the game will be one-sided, but there is no doubt that Manchester City have the upper hand. The outcome of a football match is difficult to predict, but the chances of Wigan Athletic winning against Manchester City are too low. If Wigan Athletic want to win the title, they I'm afraid it will take God's blessing." "Daily Express"
"Wigan Athletic have been relegated from the league and Manchester City have won the title. I can't imagine how much chance Wigan Athletic will have to play against a Champions League team at Wembley. , maybe Manchester City will prepare for the FA Cup final at Wembley as a Champions League final, which is a good opportunity to train and adapt to Wembley." "Mirror"
Almost all the English media are one-sidedly optimistic about Manchester City.
In such an atmosphere of public opinion, Manchester City's players are also very relaxed and optimistic.
Some fans have even begun to discuss the FA Cup winning celebration.
But Gao Bo is concerned about the opponent's situation.
Wigan Athletic coach Martinez kept his stance low in an interview recently.
"Manchester City are a very strong team, just look at their results this season. It is difficult for us to take advantage of Wembley Stadium, so our goal is to not let Manchester City score as much as possible!"
"Mr. Gao Bo is my idol. Although he is younger than me, I am obsessed with the art of his coaching. His team can achieve a very high level on both ends of offense and defense, and his tactical style of play is also very good. Very beautiful!"
"I wish we could lose a few fewer goals..."
When Martinez was being interviewed, his posture couldn't be called low anymore, it was already kneeling and licking!
And Gao Bo was not overwhelmed by his opponent's ecstasy, because he knew that no coach would admit defeat before the game started.
I believe that Martinez's goal is not Gao Bo... but a Manchester City player.
After all, the players are all in their twenties, and football players have relatively simple minds, because most players come from the team's youth training camp, then to the first team, from childhood to adulthood in a relatively simple Growing up in an environment, there is no such deep scheming as Martinez and other coaches.
"Do you think he'll throw in the towel?"
The day before the game, Gao Bo showed Martinez's "kneeling and licking" to the players when he held a tactical meeting, and then asked such a question.
The players looked at each other.
They are not fools either. The head coach should show them this. Naturally, it is not for their opponents to praise their team for a sense of superiority.
"Won't!"
someone answered.
Gao Bo clapped his hands.
"That's right!! No one will admit defeat!!"
"Whether it's a final or not!! Everyone wants to win!"
"What is the premise that Wigan Athletic wants to win?" Gao Bo looked at the players, "It's our own carelessness, it's our fault!"
"They can only win if we make mistakes!"
"So, Martinez is paralyzing you, making you careless, and making you lose your vigilance!"
"He's taking you for a fool!"
Gao Bo waved his hands and said.
"He wants to paralyze you, wants to make you lose your vigilance! And then give you a fatal blow at Wembley!!"
"There's only one final, guys!! If you lose this one, there's no chance at all!!"
Gao Bo looked at his players and said.
He remembered this game. In another part of history, Wigan Athletic defeated Manchester City and created the miracle of winning the FA Cup. Although they were eventually relegated.
Therefore, this opponent is definitely not to be underestimated.
