On the evening of August 19, 2009, Manchester City Stadium.

In order to make way for the World Cup in South Africa next year, major European leagues have compressed their schedules. In the new season, the Premier League has directly entered a week of double matches from the start, putting heavy pressure on all participating teams.

Three days after finishing the first round, Manchester City ushered in the first home game of the new season.

The City Stadium, which can accommodate more than 47,000 fans, is full of seats. Countless Manchester City fans have booked their first home game early, hoping to enjoy the first home game coached by Gao Han.

Before the game, Manchester City held a brief new season home opening ceremony and a special event.

That is, before the game, on the big screen of the scene, a clipped footage of Gao Han’s coaching in the past nine years, a few other giant teams besides Chelsea, and many superstar players in the team were played. Outstanding performance.

The short film is not long, but the editing is very good-looking, accompanied by **** music, the atmosphere of the scene is extremely warm.

After the video was over, Manchester City’s players walked out of the player’s channel one after another during the broadcast on the stadium to accept the cheers of the fans, while the biggest name Cristiano Ronaldo was arranged to the finale.

All the fans reported the most fanatical applause and cheers to every player. Even many fans did not forget the Kaka who was unable to play. The live broadcast footage was also specially given to the Brazilian superstar in the chairman's stand. Also enjoyed the welcoming of all fans.

The atmosphere in the stadium was extremely strong, especially when Gao Han walked into the stadium from the player’s passage. More than 40,000 fans in the audience shouted his name in unison. Countless fans raised their cards one after another and formed the Gao Han’s in the huge stands. A huge portrait to express their support for this world-famous marshal.

With a smile on his face, Gao Han raised his right hand to greet the fans in the audience, which made him usher in a more enthusiastic voice.

Although the first round of the new season was not ideal, they also steadily defeated their opponents by 2-0. All Manchester City fans are convinced that the team's downturn is only temporary. Give a little more time. The team will definitely be able to adjust to the best condition and play the strength it deserves.

Because in the past nearly ten years, Gao Han has never disappointed.

In the second round, Manchester City's opponent was Everton.

Moyes' team just lost to Arsenal in a 1-6 at home and went to the City Stadium in the second round. This made Moyes complain about the Devil's schedule before the game, but the game was clearly well prepared.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City still took the initiative to attack, but the difference from the away game against Blackburn is that this time Alpine was not in a hurry to score goals, but aimed to stabilize the team's passing style and control the rhythm of the game. , Slowly attack.

Moyes also seemed to be worried about repeating Allardys's mistakes. After the opening, he did not organize a press, but retreated.

After the test of the first round, coupled with the targeted adjustment of the problems exposed in the first round by Alpine in the past three days, the players have a better understanding of Alpine's technical and tactical play, and the organization of transmission and control is more adept. .

Everton is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. The defense is very tightly organized, making it difficult for Manchester City to attack the 30-meter area.

But Manchester City showed a big improvement in this game, that is, the high-intensity pressure in the front court made it difficult for Everton to hold the ball, and Manchester City has absolute possession of the ball.

The players in the midfield and the backcourt are also obviously more emboldened and more relaxed in terms of holding and controlling the ball.

However, Moyes has a four-five-one formation in this game, and the midfielder has gathered famous Premier League players such as Phil Neville, Arteta, Pinar, Cahill, and the overall strength cannot be underestimated.

Gao Han kept walking to the sidelines and repeatedly reminded the players to remain calm and patience. Even the two sides reached a zero-to-zero tie in the first half. The scene seemed very dull. During the intermission, Gao Han still reminded the players to continue. Adhere to the first half of the game, firmly grasp the possession of the ball and the rhythm of the game.

Because he knows that everything can't be done overnight, it needs to be done step by step.

At least judging from the current situation of Manchester City, if you have the right to control the ball and the rhythm of the game, you can establish yourself in an unbeaten position or a situation that is not so easy to be defeated. As long as this is done, the offensive players will sooner or later. Will seize the opportunity.

As for the offense, we have to wait for the team to gain a foothold first.

After changing sides in the second half, Everton tried to disrupt Manchester City's passing and rhythm, but Moyes' team soon exposed a flaw on its own, and Manchester City calmly seized the opportunity.

David Silva received a pass from the backcourt by Kompany, and a cross passed to Modric who ran to meet him.

The Croatian midfielder caught a glimpse of Everton's defense line being too high, and he passed the ball over the top and sent the ball to the back of the Everton defense line. Cristiano Ronaldo countered offside and plugged it in. With no defense, Formed a single-handed shot, dribbled into the large penalty area, calmly pushed and hit, one to zero!

After Everton began to counterattack, Manchester City consciously retreated, stabilized their position, and fought two quite threatening counterattacks, which scared Everton back quickly again.

In the end, Manchester City relied on Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the 58th minute to beat Everton one to zero.

In the double matches a week, certain changes have taken place in the Premier League structure.

Liverpool, which capsized in the gutter in the first round, returned to Anfield in this round, slaughtering Stoke City with a 4-0 slaughter and played the most exciting game of the round.

Chelsea beat Sunderland two to one away, and Tottenham also beat Birmingham five to one. Arsenal, who had a big win in the first round, continued their winning streak in this round and took Bolton at home four to two.

Only Ferguson's Manchester United lost to Burnley in a one-to-one away game.

But even if Manchester United lost, the British media criticized the most after the game, but it was Manchester City, which won the game.

Many media outlets were very dissatisfied with Manchester City’s 1-0 home win over Everton, because apart from Cristiano Ronaldo’s flash of inspiration, Manchester City did not create many scoring opportunities throughout the game. Some offensive statistics are not as good as Everton.

"Alpine teams are chasing possession of the ball as always. In this game, facing Everton, Manchester City's possession rate is as high as 62%, setting the highest rate of possession in the 20 Premier League games this season. ."

"But with a 62% possession rate, with European stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Sanchez, David Silva and Modric, They only shot twelve shots, five shots on goal, and on the opposite side of them, Everton shot eleven shots on goal, seven shots on goal."

"You know, the lowest value of Manchester City's frontcourt player is enough to match the total value of Everton's entire frontcourt offensive player, but the figures from both sides are exactly the same, which is totally unacceptable."

But at the press conference after the game, Gao Han smiled and expressed his satisfaction with the performance of his team.

"I am very happy because I have seen progress and I see that all the players are gradually integrating into the team. Everyone needs to give us more time and everything will be fine."

For the fans at the scene, Gao Han said he was very excited.

"I feel very good today. The fans here are amazing. Even when the team is in a disadvantaged situation, they are still supporting us. I want to say to all Manchester City fans here, trust me, the team will gradually go away. On the right track."

However, the external media obviously did not trust Gao Han's remarks.

Three days later, on Saturday, in the third round of the Premier League, Manchester City still ushered in the Wolves at home.

Manchester City started the game quite well, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a goal in the 17th minute to help the team lead one to zero.

But after scoring the lead, Manchester City once again became a little helpless in the face of the Wolves’ stubborn sniper. Especially in the second half, the Wolves replaced a striker and a defender, playing 51.41. After the formation, Manchester City's attack becomes more difficult.

In the end, Manchester City once again gained one to zero at home.

After the game, everyone once again targeted the weak attacking Manchester City, especially when Manchester United broke Wigan Athletic 5-0 away. Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4-1 at home and Chelsea beat Fu 2-0 away. In Lehm's case, Manchester City's small victory will inevitably pale in comparison.

In this round, Liverpool lost to Aston Villa 1-3 at home, and gained another defeat.

However, relative to the outside world's doubts, Gao Han gave a high evaluation to the team's third round game, especially in the locker room after the game, he affirmed the team's performance.

Because in this game, the team created a total of 21 shots, of which 14 shots on the goal, 7 shots missed, both in terms of the chance of creating a goal, or in terms of efficiency, they are quite equal. Not bad.

As for why he only scored one goal, Gao Han has been coaching for so many years. Of course, he knows better than anyone else. Sometimes, scoring is a little worse.

But the outside media obviously don't think so, because from the three games of the season, Manchester City's performance has been sluggish.

After the third round of the Premier League, midweek ushered in the League Cup game.

Gao Han made a proper rotation of the team's lineup. Players including Sturridge, Petrov and Ruo all got the opportunity to play. The team also returned to a four-three-three formation, and the result was a three-game away game without surprises. Zero defeated the Crystal Palace team ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and advanced smoothly.

This immediately caused the media to hype again, thinking that Gao Han should not cling to the three-four-three formation, but should instead play four-three-three.

At the very least, the Manchester City players are obviously more adaptable to the four-back style of play.

On the weekend, in the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Portsmouth away, but Alpine once again adopted a three-back.

As a result, this time it encountered a very tenacious sniper from the home team. Portsmouth received a total of 22 fouls and six yellow cards in this game. This data is the best proof of the game process, and Manchester City is sitting on a hundred With a 60-percent ball possession advantage, in the end, it was just a goal by Cristiano Ronaldo in the 30th minute to win another one-to-zero victory.

Four consecutive rounds were won by one goal, which led several British tabloids to publish reports mocking Gao Han and Manchester City. They sarcastically believed in the conservative one-to-zero doctrine and did not dare to invest in the offensive.

In the focus of this round, Arsenal challenged Manchester United at Old Trafford, but Van Persie advanced by one goal and was equalized by Rooney. After that, midfielder Diaby’s own goal made Manchester United reversed two to one. .

This is also Arsenal's first defeat of the season.

After the four rounds, three teams have won four Premier League games. Chelsea tops the list, Tottenham Hotspur second, Manchester City third, followed by Arsenal and Manchester United, followed by Liverpool. In eighth place, behind West Ham United and Stoke City.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored four goals, tied with Manchester United's Wayne Rooney and Tottenham's Defoe, and he was the only scorer to score all four rounds.

So many media have taken this to ridicule the high cold, because Manchester City only scored five goals.
