Super Marshal

Ten points and seven seconds.

This is Gareth Bale's average in the team's internal 100-metre test.

If this number appears in the 100-meter track and field, he has the ability to represent Britain in the Olympics.

On the football field, this is undoubtedly a very scary number. Even if it is not the best in the world, it must be at the very least. Among the players that Gao Han is familiar with, only the Olympic team from Chinatown can catch up with this level. Bameyan.

Gareth Bale is characterized by quick start, excellent short-range explosive power, and strong long-distance running. However, Aubameyang is different. The latter's main advantage is in the first thirty meters, surpassing Gareth Bale, and even It is comparable to the African star Bolt, but after more than 30 meters, Aubameyang's speed will decline.

Overall, the speed of both players is an amazing weapon for killing enemies.

From the first time Gao Han saw Gareth Bale in a game, he was already very convinced of the player's potential, especially his amazing speed, as well as his excellent physical fitness and strength confrontation, which are the key to his performance on the court. An invincible weapon.

After coming to Manchester City, Gareth Bale has been conducting training and games in an orderly manner according to Gao Han's arrangements. Although he is basically fixed on the left, Gao Han's career development plan for him is to move him to the right. .

Gareth Bale on the left is a winger at best, but on the right, he becomes more threatening.

However, if he wants to perform on the right, he still needs to further refine his foot skills.

In the past few months, the Welshman has been trying to adapt to Manchester City's technical and tactical style of play, while also trying the new tasks assigned to him by Gao Han. As the season progresses, his performance in the team It’s getting better and better.

Now, he has become a rising star that is attracting attention from Manchester City and even the Premier League.

Many people have begun to speculate that Gao Han brought out Sturridge and Kompany last season, and this season it is likely to be Gareth Bale and Milner, and both players are getting better and better. .

In this game against Real Madrid, Gareth Bale was included in the squad as always, but failed to enter the starting lineup. He has long been accustomed to this.

Manchester City defeated AC Milan away from home in the first round of the group stage. As long as Manchester City defeats Real Madrid at home, it will be relatively easy to beat Ajax in the remaining two rounds. If they win both, the team will undoubtedly qualify for the group stage. It will reduce the pressure on the team a lot.

In such an important game, the head coach must have more trust in a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Gareth Bale is very self-aware of this, so he sat in the coaching bench throughout the game and watched the game intently. From time to time, he analyzed the situation on the field with his teammates sitting around him, waiting for what might happen. opportunity to play as a substitute.

The second half of the game went very quickly, and twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Manchester City not only continued their excellent performance in the first half and firmly controlled the situation on the field, but also played more threateningly than in the first half, especially the four superstars in the frontcourt, who constantly threatened Real Madrid's goal. But he was always just shy of a goal.

According to the information received from the coaching staff, Cristiano Ronaldo had many kicking opportunities in this game, especially in the second half. He had a total of seven shots and three shots on target. The efficiency should be pretty good, but they were all The failure to score made the Portuguese, who has scored frequently this season, a little impatient.

Everyone can completely understand his mood.

He aims to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or, and to win this award, the most important thing is to appear in the Champions League, especially in the focus battles such as AC Milan and Real Madrid. To score one on such an occasion, The effect is even better than the usual three.

On the other hand, if strong-power dialogue is weak, it will be criticized.

Thinking of this, Gareth Bale couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes being too competitive may not be a good thing.

At the very least, Cristiano Ronaldo put considerable pressure on himself.

Just as Gareth Bale was thinking about it, assistant coach Brian Kidd suddenly walked over.

"Gareth."

"Here." Gareth Bale jumped up from his seat almost reflexively.

"Hurry up, I'll give you five minutes and go warm up right away."

After saying that, Brian Kidd turned around and walked back to the coaching bench.

Gareth Bale was stunned for a moment, but was quickly reminded by Milner. Under the envious eyes of his teammates on the bench, he took off his jacket and ran to the side to warm up, but his whole head was buzzing. .

I...am I really going to have sex?

He ended the warm-up under Brian Kidd's reminder and ran back to the front of the coaching bench. He stood aside at first, but when he saw Gao Han waving to him, he immediately ran over, "Boss."

"The game has now gone on for 68 minutes, and the score is still zero to zero, but Real Madrid is at the end of its tether."

"Listen carefully and pay attention. Their two central defenders, Bruno Alves and Albiol, are the type of central defenders with strong frontal interception ability, but weak tracking ability and slow turning speed, so they are facing You can't confront a defensive player like this directly, you have to fight behind him, you know what I mean?"

Gareth Bale vigorously patted his head, which was a little too excited, with both hands, and kept nodding, "Understood, boss."

Soon, seeing Gao Han's questioning look, he added: "After I come on the field, I will try to get behind them to prevent offside."

"Very good." At this time, Gao Han was sure that he really understood, "I will ask other players to pass the ball to you as much as possible, and your task is very simple, just what you said, don't confront each other head-on, more After inserting, use your speed advantage."

"I understand." Gareth Bale nodded solemnly this time.

"Arbeloa got a yellow card. The physical energy of several Real Madrid defensive players has been almost exhausted by Cristiano. So after you come on the field, you have to take advantage of your physical strength and be more active and bold. Understand. ?"

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down." Gareth Bale replied confidently.

During the warm-up just now, he had already thought of this set of words.

"Very good, go and get ready to replace someone."

"Replace who?"

"Cristiano."

"Huh?" Gareth Bale suspected that he heard wrongly.

"Yes, you heard that right. Replace him. I don't want one of us to be missing at the critical moment of the counterattack."

As the second half progressed, the Portuguese became anxious again.

In fact, he has never been a player who can calmly control his emotions, even though he looks much more mature now, so Gao Han cannot let him stay on the court and take risks, after all, he already has a yellow card.

What's more, now that Gareth Bale is involved, it's a great time to counterattack.

…………

…………

Gareth Bale completed the handover with Gao Han's latest instructions and walked to the sidelines, arranging his boots, shin guards, socks and shorts while taking a deep breath to calm his excitement.

This is the much-anticipated Champions League group stage, and the opponent is Real Madrid. Can he not be excited?

Soon there was a chance for a dead ball, and a substitution sign was raised on the sidelines, indicating that the replacement was No. 7.

This immediately caused the entire city stadium to scream in surprise.

No one thought that at this critical moment of counterattack, Gao Han would replace the team's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo? Isn’t this a self-defeating general?

Not only the fans don't understand, but Cristiano Ronaldo also feels very puzzled. He feels that his whole body is still full of strength. He feels that he is just a little bit away from scoring a goal. Should he be replaced at this time?

The Portuguese pointed at himself in disbelief and looked at Gao Han on the sidelines, but the head coach gave him a very positive nod.

Cristiano Ronaldo shook his right hand hard and kicked the grass angrily, causing dirt and grass clippings to fly.

When he walked all the way to the sidelines, he didn't even want to shake hands with Gareth Bale. He passed him directly, ignored the head coach Gao Han who was standing in front of him, and went directly to the players' tunnel.

Everyone at the scene could see that he was silently protesting against the head coach for replacing him at this time.

He wants to score goals and score more goals.

Gao Han's face didn't look good either. He could understand Cristiano Ronaldo's mood at this moment, but he had to react to the Portuguese's behavior. Otherwise, what dignity would he have in the future?

"Do you want me to go back and take a look?" Psychologist Steve Peters asked with concern.

He is the lubricant within the team and is very popular among the players.

"No, let him calm down and stop being so hot-headed."

After Gao Han finished speaking, he walked directly to the sidelines and made gestures to Xavi Alonso and others, indicating that the team's tactics should be adjusted accordingly.

Xabi Alonso is Gao Han's confidant. He quickly understood the coach's intentions and quickly conveyed them to his teammates.

Soon, Manchester City once again broke into the 30-meter area of ​​Real Madrid. David Silva passed a diagonal pass to Gareth Bale on the left. As soon as the Welshman received the ball, Arbeloa immediately ran over.

Gareth Bale was about to dribble the ball towards the center. Suddenly he made a sudden change of direction, accelerated the ball and rushed towards the baseline along the left side of the penalty area.

But at this time, Real Madrid's defensive formation in the penalty area was already in place. Gareth Bale wanted to pass the ball into the penalty area, but Bruno Alves was the first to clear it.

The Welshman took the ball for the first time after coming on the field. Although he broke through and sent the ball into the penalty area, there was no threat.

Then Manchester City's several attacks were obviously on the left side. Gareth Bale frequently got the chance to get the ball on this side, but Arbeloa also attached great importance to his defense, which led to Gareth Bale successively I made mistakes several times when I got the ball.

"Gao Han replaced Cristiano Ronaldo and replaced him with Gareth Bale. Everyone thought this would change the trend of the game, but judging from the Welshman's performance in the past few minutes, he was not impressive. Bright performance.”

"A few pass-and-catch errors were quite disappointing, and I didn't seem to be in harmony with other teammates."

"Arbeloa's performance in this game was quite good, especially against Cristiano Ronaldo. Although it was very difficult, he still managed to hold on."

"Gao Han was worried that the Portuguese would lose his temper, so he took him off the field and replaced him with Gareth Bale, but the Welshman still failed to break through Arbeloa's defense."

"If the game continues to be like this, I think this game will probably be a draw."

"This will also be the first draw for Manchester City in more than a year since Gao Han has been coaching for ten years."
