Chapter 829: Things about breaking records

Human beings are really a very special animal.

Before Su Qing resigned and came to the UK, Gao Shen would imagine countless situations after she came to the UK, such as what changes she would bring to his work and life.

But later I discovered that nothing had changed at all.

Funny?

Before getting married, the two of them would lie in bed and outline their life after marriage...

After deciding to have a child, they will wonder, after having a child, can they continue to go out for fun?

For example, if I want to travel to Northern Europe during the holidays, is that okay?

But the most ridiculous thing about life is that it always surprises you.

After Su Qing came to the UK, Gao Shen's life and work did not change at all. On the contrary, it became smoother.

He can focus on his work every day.

After getting married, their lives remained unchanged. Even if Gao Shen purchased Leeds United, Su Qing had a way to solve everything. Even if she was put in front of Gao Shen, he would often only need to make a decision.

They are busy on their own every day and live a fulfilling life, but it is not like the relationship between strangers who live together. On the contrary, they will often call each other to ask when the other person will be home and whether they want to pick him up.

of.

No matter how late it is, when Gao Shen comes home, Su Qing is always waiting for him.

Even if he led the team to an away game and came back late at night, she would still have the light on.

She never admitted that she was waiting, she just said she was afraid of a burglar.

Although Cheshire is a wealthy area, it is actually quite dangerous.

Especially for someone like Gao Shen, who has offended so many Manchester United fans, wouldn't it be troublesome if he accidentally encounters a thief who is a Manchester United fan?

But maybe Gao Shen did a good job in security when he bought the house, so he hasn't encountered such problems yet.

Before deciding to have a child, what they think more about is whether it will change their lives once they have a child?

But after making the decision, they discovered that the biggest change was that it was not something they could just say they wanted.

It's been over a month and there's been no movement at all.

It was hard to ask anyone about this kind of thing, so Su Qing went to learn some weird and weird medical knowledge related to pregnancy.

Gao Shen even felt that there would be no problem if she took the exam to become an obstetrician and gynecologist.

But life went on like this.

Especially during the most difficult period when Gao Shen was coaching Manchester City, listening to her vague medical knowledge when I came home every day became one of the most interesting things in Gao Shen's life.

Only now did he truly understand one thing: no matter how smart a woman is, she is quite stupid when it comes to preparing for pregnancy.

Some people say that marriage is the grave of love.

From the outside it looks like a bunch of flowers, but inside it's all broken.

But Gao Shen's own personal experience is not like this. He feels that, to him, marriage is like a treasure.

He can always dig out some unexpected surprises and gains.

Gao Shen always felt that a woman as smart and beautiful as Su Qing would be able to live a good life no matter who she met, even if she didn't meet him.

But Su Qing held his hand firmly, looked at him seriously and said, "I never think about anyone, I only think about us."

One you and one me, after getting married, we become us!

This should be regarded as the most prosaic, but also the most touching love sentence that Gao Shen has ever heard.

Su Qing is like this.

Plain and light, like water.

When many people see her, they will be fascinated by her beauty and temperament, but the best thing about her, the one that fascinates Gao Shen the most, is this person.

When I'm with her, I always feel like time flies by very quickly.

No matter what worries and pressures you have outside, no matter how stormy the waves are, if you come to her side, she will always find a way to calm you down.

There is no need to think about anything, no need to do anything, and the whole body is completely relaxed.

So on the morning of the last day of the vacation, when Gao Shen and Su Qing were eating breakfast face to face, they suddenly remembered something and were stunned.

…

"What's wrong?" Su Qing asked with concern when she saw Gao Shen's face changed slightly.

Gao Shen put down the milk glass in his hand, frowned, and thought hard for a long time, "Have we broken Capello's unbeaten record of AC Milan?"

When Gao Shen asked this question, Su Qing became spartan.

The air around him seemed to have condensed.

After a few seconds, the beauty opposite burst into laughter, like a flower blooming.

"What are you laughing at?" Gao Shen wondered.

"Nothing?" But Su Qing laughed even harder.

Gao Shen was really surprised. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, because he felt like he hadn't lost for a long time.

"It turns out that those media reporters all misunderstood you." Su Qing said with a bright smile.

"What's the meaning?"

"Didn't some media ask you this question in January?"

"Yes?" Gao Shen didn't remember.

"You also answered like this at that time. Do you think there is one? I didn't pay attention. Go back and check." Su Qing learned the expressions and tone of the master and acted it out vividly.

"At that time, everyone thought you were faking it, and the media reported it several times."

"It broke in early January?"

"Of course, I only played fifty-eight games, and you have played more than sixty games now." Su Qing replied.

"Didn't Capello congratulate you in the media? Have you forgotten?"

"I really didn't pay attention!" Gao Shen smiled bitterly.

It was really busy at that time.

There is a game every three days, and they are all strong teams. Who can bear it?

At that time, Gao Shen's mind was filled with games, opponents, training, etc. How could he think about breaking records?

Besides, what's the use of this thing?

After the media reported for a while, they quickly calmed down again. It is estimated that they will not report again until Manchester City loses.

But that's it.

"I really didn't pay attention. I was eating just now. Haven't my mind been empty lately? Suddenly I remembered such a thing. I did the math and found that we have indeed played more than sixty games. How many more specifically?

I had to go check it out to find out, so I was wondering."

Gao Shen smiled bitterly. If this was spread by the media, everyone would definitely think that he was pretending to be thirteen, but he really forgot.

From Christmas to now, he has even fallen out of the habit of reading newspapers.

There are so many things and problems every day, and he doesn't have time to care about them.

"If you forget, just forget it. It doesn't matter anyway." Su Qing persuaded with a smile, "Come on, eat more and don't leave any leftovers."

She poured some preserved egg and lean meat porridge into the tall bowl and cleared the bottom of the pot.

"Hey, by the way, how have you been doing lately?" Gao Shen asked with concern.

It is true that he has not paid attention to or visited Leeds United for a long time.

"Tonight we play the 30th round, and we are going to challenge Coventry away from home." Su Qing said calmly.

"After the winter break, the team's performance declined significantly, especially in January. There was a period of five games without a win, and two consecutive losses in between. The team lost a lot of points, but now it is gradually coming out and is adjusting.

.”

Gao Shen nodded, "It's normal for newbies to have no experience."

Sarri must be mentally prepared. After all, he has been Gao Shen's assistant for three years and only stayed in the Premier League for two seasons. He must be clear about the Christmas and winter break schedules.

But being an assistant and coaching alone are two different situations.

The simplest and most direct difference is that one faces pressure directly and the other does not have much pressure.

Naturally, there will be differences when making decisions.

"Currently we are still first in the standings, but it is a pity that we have not been able to widen the gap."

Gao Shen knew very well that if he could widen the gap during this period of time, other opponents would be in despair.

But now, the bite is very tight, and other teams will definitely compete for it.

"The biggest opponents now are West Ham United, Birmingham and Cardiff. These three teams are not far behind us. There are still sixteen rounds left, and everything is still unknown."

"Sarri's previous rotation was not very good, which was also a key factor in our decline during the winter break. Now he is working hard to make up for it."

As early as the beginning of the season, Gao Shen reminded Sarri that with forty-six rounds of the English Championship, plus two cup competitions, the schedule is too tight and it is impossible for everyone to play all the games. Rotation is a must.

.

But after the league started, the main lineup that Sarri had worked out played smoothly, which led to him not being very determined in rotation.

As a result, the problem was exposed during Christmas and winter breaks.

"Where is Southampton?" Gao Shen asked with concern.

If he remembered correctly, Southampton should have been promoted to the Premier League this season, but now he didn't hear Su Qing mention this team, which was a bit strange.

"The Saints are currently in fifth place, nine points behind us, similar to Blackpool, Reading, Hull City and other teams. The one worth noting is Reading."

"This team played poorly at the beginning of the season, ranking in the middle and lower reaches of the standings, but there was no coaching change. After December, the head coach Brian McDermott made adjustments and Reading started to catch up.

In Super Mode, the ranking has been rising all the way, and now it has climbed to sixth place."

Gao Shen nodded. If he remembered correctly, Reading seems to have won the Championship this season and won promotion.

"Be careful with this team. They should have developed a mature team structure, and they will further threaten us." Gao Shen reminded.

In lower-level leagues, even in leagues like the English Championship, competition between teams is more about overall integrity.

This is why, an excellent coach can be said to be a killer in low-level leagues.

Everyone knows that low-level leagues lack stars with outstanding personal abilities, so the overall cooperation of the team is particularly important.

In fact, this is often the case not only for low-level teams, but also for mid- and lower-level teams in top leagues.

This is why, in many cases, small teams can better reflect the tactical literacy and coaching ability of the head coach.

These head coaches with excellent tactical literacy and coaching ability began to have trouble playing in big teams, especially wealthy teams. Why?

Because the head coach that a wealthy team needs has never been just about tactical literacy and coaching ability.

Even these professional skills have taken a back seat.

With a huge coaching team around him, there is no need for the head coach to do everything himself.

Take Ferguson for example. He basically doesn't care about training now. He doesn't even personally participate in formulating tactics for many games. He leaves everything to his assistants and he is responsible for grasping the overall situation.

"How is Sarri's mentality now?" Gao Shen asked with concern.

"I just met him the day before yesterday. It was very good."

"That's good." Gao Shen was relieved.

He believes in Sarri's professional ability. As long as he maintains his mentality, there will be no big problem.

The season is so long and there are so many games. Ups and downs are normal, but the head coach's mentality is crucial.
