From coaching Real Madrid
556 Deep Waterloo
What Gao Shen said is absolutely correct.
The players' nightmare lasted for a full week, and before they had time to adapt, the intensity increased further in the second week.
This immediately made the players miserable.
After entering the second week, the number of technical and tactical training items increased significantly.
Gao Shen's positioning of some of the players' roles has also begun to become clear.
For example, Robben is basically fixed on the right. Borrell also personally studied his right-side cut with Robben, mainly some small movements, technical details, and timing.
Suarez is fixed at the center position in the frontcourt, but he is very comprehensive. He can pull out and retreat. He can play in any position and he can do it with ease. This is the most rare thing.
For the time being, Manchester City's attacking lineup is relatively fixed, but there will definitely be frequent cross-positions in the future, and Suarez's comprehensiveness will become crucial.
As for the left path, it has not been determined yet.
Robinho and Hazard are two players with physical difficulties. What was unexpected was that both of them persisted and did not fall behind in the training. Even the long-distance running after training, they had to hold on to the end.
live.
On one occasion, Hazard was so tired that he fell to the ground during a long-distance run. He was photographed by Gao Shen and posted on Twitter, mainly to affirm the player's hard work and to like Hazard's girlfriend Natasha. As a result,
Natasha left a message below with two beating red hearts, expressing her heartache and touching it.
The next morning, Hazard was full of energy again and went into training with great enthusiasm.
The competitors worked so hard that Robinho was under high pressure and competitive pressure at the same time. Of course, he was not to be outdone. Both of them even appeared in the gym to further strengthen their physical strength.
Also actively participating in the gym is Robben, who does it more to build muscles and stay away from injuries.
In this regard, Gao Shen's team has rich experience and distinguished resumes.
For example, Thiago Motta suffered a lot of injuries while playing for Barcelona, but with the help of the experienced coaching staff, he basically did not get injured while playing for Naples. Especially last season, he was almost full-time.
Participating in the Champions League gave Robben hope.
The enthusiasm of these players has also led to the investment of the players in the team.
The atmosphere of Manchester City's training camp in Cape Town is getting more and more lively.
In their spare time, the club also organizes various activities to enrich the lives of players.
There was even a half-day off on the weekend for everyone to go diving.
False Bay in Cape Town is a world-famous diving resort. The players traveled at public expense and experienced the beautiful underwater world.
…
As the head coach of the team, Gao Shen basically leaves the training to the coaching staff, and he supervises from the side.
His main job on weekdays is chatting.
Although the players had more or less known Gao Shen's habit from the media before, when they actually encountered it, they still found it particularly strange, because the current players in Manchester City come from all over the world and speak a variety of languages.
For example, Suarez didn't know how to speak English, so Gao Shen communicated with him in Spanish.
There are also people like Neuer.
This guy spoke German, but in fact, his English was pretty good.
Of course Gao Shen doesn't speak German, but that doesn't prevent them from communicating in English. Moreover, the "studied" Gao Shen even took the initiative to learn German from Neuer because he couldn't guarantee whether he would coach a Bundesliga team one day in the future.
.
The most difficult thing is Giroud. This guy only speaks French and English. He knows nothing.
But what amazed the whole team was that even Giroud and Gao Shen were able to chat with him through gestures and body movements, and they did so in a stylish way, which really made everyone in the team excited.
I was stunned and even refused to accept it.
Especially in the training ground, in the second week, basically if Gao Shen shouts and performs an action, Giroud will understand it.
That efficiency is simply higher than anyone else!
As analyst Lucas jokingly said: "Now you know, his nagging level far exceeds his coaching level!"
Everyone exclaimed.
Even so, standards are still important.
This time there are translators and English teachers accompanying the team.
Gao Shen requires everyone on the team to master the most basic communication in English at the training ground and on the court. In the Manchester City locker room, court and training ground, they can only communicate in English to achieve unity for the whole team.
Therefore, during our stay in Cape Town, South Africa, all those in the team who could not speak English well had to use their time outside of training classes to take time for English training.
Gao Shen also encouraged the English-speaking players in the team to proactively help their teammates.
…
After two weeks of training in South Africa, Manchester City finally ushered in its first warm-up match, the first game of the Vodaken Cup Invitational Tournament.
The opponent is South Africa's local Orlando Pirates.
In this game, Manchester City did not behave like a Premier League team at all, nor did they look like a strong team at all.
The pace was slow, the pace was heavy, everyone seemed unable to run, and their condition was very bad. This made many media reporters and fans who came for Manchester City feel very disappointed.
More importantly, many big-name stars did not appear, such as Robben, Rakitic and David Luiz.
Goalkeeper: Given.
Defense: Bridge, Gary Cahill, Micah Richards and Trippier.
Midfield: De Jong goes deep, Ireland and Henderson go forward.
Forwards: Adam Lallana, Giroud and Sturridge.
More importantly, Gao Shen let them play for more than an hour before starting to make substitution adjustments.
It is worth mentioning that Gareth Bale replaced Bridge, who played his best left back.
This was also Gao Shen's attempt on him.
In Gao Shen's view, Gareth Bale is like a dragon-slaying knife that opens and closes widely. He needs space to sprint. The most suitable position is to be in a relatively back position, suddenly inserting behind, using speed and body
advantage to forcefully attack the opponent's defense and even create scoring opportunities.
The most typical one is the battle that made him famous when he defeated Maicon.
In comparison, his skills are actually not very good, especially his small skills in taking the ball. This makes him not suitable for being too forward, so his most suitable position is still at left back or left midfielder, or even on the right.
The roads are not very suitable.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t play, the key depends on how you use it.
With Gareth Bale's speed and impact, as well as his excellent physical fitness, if he really rushes forward, he can't be stopped.
This is actually the biggest difference between him and his best friend Walcott.
Little Tiger became famous earlier, but his physical fitness is really not as good as Gareth Bale. In the end, there is a huge gap in career achievements between the two, which is why.
Therefore, Gao Shen is still studying how to use Gareth Bale.
The same is true for other players. Experts must study each one one by one and listen to the players' own thoughts and opinions.
But none of these can hide one thing, that is, Gao Shen lost to a South African team in Manchester City's first warm-up match, which immediately caused an uproar.
The British media has now seized the opportunity!
The Sun published the news of Manchester City's disastrous defeat on its front page.
Yes, even though it was only one to two, The Sun used the term "a disastrous defeat" to describe it, believing that Manchester City was out of shape throughout the game.
"Gao Shen and his Blue Moon Legion, which cost him more than 200 million, actually lost to Orlando Pirates in Cape Town, South Africa."
"Well, the entire opponent's team combined is worth less than 10 million euros."
The Sun believes that the mysterious aura of profoundness is gone.
Other British media have also followed up with reports.
Since the game was not broadcast live, and South Africa was far away, there were not many media reporters present. Everyone wrote reports based on the situation. Basically, they believed that Manchester City was seriously out of shape, and the integration of the team was slow, which led to Manchester City losing to South Africa.
Team, this is simply a huge shame for the Premier League team.
"A team like this also wants to win the Premier League title in the new season?"
"If Manchester City like this is allowed to win the championship, it will simply be the biggest joke in the history of the Premier League!"
I don’t know whether it was due to the spread of the TV show or his sincere evaluation. Alan Hansen, the famous Liverpool star who previously mocked Ferguson for being unable to win anything with a group of children, commented on Manchester City again on his show this time.
"Relying on such a group of mercenaries with no fighting spirit, it is impossible for Gao Shen and Manchester City to succeed this season!"
Alan Hansen even asserted that the sky-high transfer fee of more than 200 million euros will become the heaviest burden to crush Gao Shen and Manchester City, because in the past Premier League, and even in the history of England's top league, there has never been a team
Teams like Manchester City spend as much money and extravagance as they do.
"I can almost conclude that the Premier League in the new season will be the Waterloo of Gao Shen's coaching career!"
Gao Shen feels very baffled by the public opinion from the outside world.
He even wondered if these people didn't know about the game's lineup or Manchester City's training situation at all?
No matter how bad it is, they won't go to Italy to inquire about it?
If Gao Shen's performance in official games is that of a world-famous coach, then Gao Shen's performance in warm-up matches is probably at the level of a low-level league team.
In the words of Zidane once jokingly said, Gao Shen is too clever!
He always uses warm-up matches to try out some messy things, examine some players, and practice various tactics at the same time.
This resulted in the teams coached by Gao Shen performing extremely poorly in the warm-up matches, but once it came to the official match, everyone would find out why it was completely different?
Perhaps the British media knew about it, but they pretended not to know.
Anyway, in the Premier League, criticizing Manchester City now is politically correct.
What makes Manchester City less fans is that even in Manchester, the number of Manchester City fans is far less than that of Manchester United. This can be seen from the difference in the number of fans who took to the streets to celebrate after the two teams won the championship.
Therefore, for the sake of sales, of course, criticizing Manchester City has a wider audience.
As for catering to Manchester City, this is too niche and cannot feed the big media.
Because of this, Manchester City was almost completely criticized after losing only one warm-up match.
Gao Shen is relatively good, after all, he no longer needs to prove himself, but he is still disliked by everyone.
Fortunately, in the second warm-up match, Manchester City defeated Casa Chiefs 1-0.
As a result, I still got scolded.
The reason is that there are too few wins.
What a group of guys who have healed their scars and forgotten the pain!
