Chapter 774: Gao Bo's Ambition
Sunlight shines into the apartment where Gao Bo lives.
At the end of the season, Gao Bo can finally sleep in.
He woke up from his sleep, looked at Haruko beside him, remembered the absurdity of last night, and Gao Bo couldn't help but rub his forehead.
He tiptoed into the bathroom with his clothes, washed up, and then went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
He'll be able to sleep in today, but in the afternoon, he'll have to go to the club.
Although the season is over, Gao Bo's work is not over.
He also needs to take care of the final bit of the season at the club, and after he has explained a few things about his transfer team, he can go on holiday with peace of mind.
........
Manchester City are undoubtedly the biggest winners of the season!
The three glittering champions have completely shaken off Manchester City's nouveau riche image.
Especially the Champions League!
You know, even Arsenal and Chelsea, the two strong teams in the Premier League, have not won the Champions League trophy.
Manchester City, on the other hand, has become the fifth English team to lift the Champions League trophy after Liverpool, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest!!
"Summing up this season's Premier League, we can say that this season is Manchester City's season and they have won everything – except for the Carabao Cup! They won the Champions League, the Premier League and the FA Cup, a feat that could only be achieved at Manchester United in 1999. And now, Manchester City has become the second team to win the treble in the Premier League! This will go down in the annals of English football forever!! Sky Sports described it in a report.
And similar statements appear in almost all English media reports!
No one is going to criticize Manchester City at this time, because they are the victors and they deserve all the praise for the glory they have won!
......
After the team celebration, Gao Bo announced that the team was on vacation.
Some of the players will be on holiday, while others will be reporting from the national team – this is because the Confederations Cup is about to start this summer.
This is generally an event held in the year before the World Cup, the FIFA Confederations Cup, formerly known as the King Fahd Cup, was first listed by FIFA as a competition schedule in 1997, held every two years, and in 2005 it was changed to every four years, with the host and the World Cup winner and the champion of the football cup on all continents participating in the competition.
This year will be the seventh edition of the Confederations Cup, which will be held in Brazil, an important preview of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the first time that the Confederations Cup will be held in a South American country.
There are a total of 8 teams participating in this tournament: the host Brazil, the 2010 World Cup winner and Euro 2012 champion Spain, the 2011 Asian Cup champion Japan, the 2011 CARCAF Gold Cup champion Mexico, the 2011 Copa America champion Uruguay, the 2012 Oceania Cup of Nations champion Tahiti, the 2012 European Championship runner-up Italy, and the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations champion Nigeria.
There are still a lot of Brazilian and Spanish internationals in the Manchester City team, and they will participate in this tournament.
The players are on holiday, but the coaching staff's holiday will be delayed for a few days.
Because these days, Gao Bo is thinking about transfers.
For a team, running water is not rotten, and the hub is not beetle. Maintaining a normal flow of players is a necessary process for the team to remain competitive.
At least for now, Gobo doesn't expect City's newly rebuilt academy to bring many players to his squad.
Next season will undoubtedly be even more challenging for Manchester City.
The first is the issue of the departure of personnel.
Hart has submitted a transfer application and for Hart to secure a call-up to England in 2014, he will have to play in the Premier League.
At Manchester City, he was suppressed by Oblak and could not get a start, so naturally he could only seek a transfer.
In addition to Hart, Dzeko has also spoken to Gobo, and the Bosnia-Herzegovina striker also wants to go to a place where he has more consistent playing opportunities.
Dzeko spent two seasons in the Premier League and was still a little uncomfortable with the pace of the Premier League.
In the first half of the season, Dzeko was able to get some opportunities, and in the second half of the season, Gobo completely established the tactic of using Hazard to play the main center forward, and Vardy was the first substitute, so Dzeko could only be reduced to the second substitute in the team's center forward position, and could only play in some big rotation games, or some inconsequential cup games.
Dzeko wants to leave, which is understandable.
Another player is Barry, whose position has become awkward as the team's tactics have been fixed.
Gao Bo's main formation in the second half of the season was 4231, with two defensive midfielders and three attacking forwards.
Barry has struggled to find his place in this midfield system, and defensively he is inferior to Casemiro and Fernandinho, or James Milner.
On the offensive end, not to mention compared with David Silva, Kaka, and Griezmann, even with Eriksen, and even Denis Suarez, who was promoted from the academy, has better offensive ability than Barry.
Barry is a relatively versatile midfielder, but versatility can sometimes mean mediocrity.
He's a little bit defensive, and he's a little offensive.
Such attributes make it difficult for him to fit into the team's well-defined tactical system, so it's understandable that Barry wants to leave.
In addition, there is also Colo Toure, the Ivory Coast centre-back, who also became aware of his lack of strength in the second half of the season, and his place was also squeezed by Harry Maguire.
......
With four players to go at once, Gao Bo naturally has to make up for this hole in the transfer market.
He needs a high striker to come off the bench and bring in a player at centre-back, and in midfield, he needs a defensive midfielder who can play as a substitute for Antoine Griezmann.
This means that the team has to bring in at least four players.
Gao Bo's plan is to be able to field two sets of lineups that are both good next season.
At present, the team's main lineup is still quite strong, and Gao Bo's plan is to have a substitute player with sufficient strength in every position.
To achieve this, it is necessary to upgrade the existing substitute lineup!
He needs a couple of substitutes who really fit his requirements and have a certain amount of quality.
Next season, Gobo's ambitions don't stop at the Triple Crown.....
Gao Bo's idea is that he wants to win all the championships!
If you want to achieve his ambitions, you must have a squad with enough depth, and the current lineup is obviously not enough!
