Chapter 648: Smiling Tiger
Manchester City's players are in a very relaxed atmosphere.
Although Manchester City's home game against Arsenal was a highlight, the outside world was generally optimistic about Manchester City.
Hazard's praise for Wenger is very useful, Messi and Ronaldo are the peerless duo in football now, Wenger elevated him to the position of eye level with these two, which undoubtedly made Hazard feel very happy.
This feeling is also prevalent among City's players.
Arsene Wenger is a world-famous coach, and Arsenal's manager is a godfather-level figure who can be compared to Ferguson in the Premier League, so Manchester City's players are also very happy with the praise of the media.
Playing at home, the opponent is Arsenal who take the initiative to show weakness.
This game can be won no matter how you look at it.
And they've won Liverpool and Real Madrid on the road, so what does it mean to win at home to Arsenal?
This relaxed atmosphere affects the team and even the fans.
They gathered outside the training pitch to watch the team practice and talk about the weekend's games.
When it comes to the game against Arsenal, many fans speak in a relaxed tone.
"Real Madrid is no match for us, let alone Arsenal!"
"We've already won two big opponents away from home, so we're going to get a big win!"
"After winning against Arsenal, it's five wins in a row in the league!"
.......
Gao Bo didn't hear the discussion on the sidelines of the training ground, but he could see the relaxed expressions on the players' faces and feel that the entire training base was in a relaxed atmosphere.
Arsene Wenger thinks that Gao Bo is only a young man of thirty-one or twelve, and according to common sense, such a young man, after such a brilliant achievement, will inevitably not swell.
As a result, he adopted a smashing strategy in the hope of paralyzing Gao Bo and his team.
However, Gao Bo was a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old in his previous life, and he was a human being in two lives, and his experience was sufficient.
He knows what Wenger wants to do, and even if he doesn't confuse himself, City's young players will probably be self-aggrandizing because of it.
So after the training, he stood in front of everyone.
At the end of the daily training, the head coach has to come out and say a few words, summarize today's training situation, and remind everyone of the issues that need to be paid attention to.
So everybody is used to it, and they think it's just a formality like any training.
In such a relaxed seven minutes, Gao Bo's expression was grim.
"I see the figure of failure!"
His first words startled many of those present.
"Yes!! I see failure, and on the shadow of each of you, the word failure is written! β
Gao Bo repeated.
Everyone looked at each other, and some people really looked at their own shadows, as if they were going to find the word failure somewhere.
"When your faces are full of the joy of victory, defeat will come to you, and he will follow you like a maggot on the tarsal bones! He will drag you underground, in the company of hell, with evil spirits! β
Gao Bo's words made the players feel a gust of wind, and they couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"The joy of victory, it's not a mistake, but, the timing is not right!"
'If it's after the game and you have that look, it's a good thing because it means we won. And if you guys show expressions like that right now, it's bad, guys!! β
"That means we're going to lose this game nine times out of ten!"
"Our opponents are Arsenal!! Think about it, what kind of team is Arsenal like, is he a fish belly that we let us knead? β
"They've had a great miracle of winning the Premier League unbeaten season, and they've been the Premier League for a while!"
"How dare we be so relaxed, so slack, so dismissive of such a team?"
"The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, not to mention, we have to deal with not a rabbit, but a wolf that hides his fangs and disguises himself as a husky!! They are a wolf!! Guys!! β
Gao Bo's words echoed in the training ground, and everyone didn't speak, but they understood Gao Bo's words.
So everyone put away the previous look of victory.
"Take your opponent seriously, and don't take this dangerous opponent lightly because of our previous victories!"
"If we lose because of our mentality, that's what we don't lose!"
Gao Bo continued.
........
Wenger didn't know about this, so he continued to implement his pre-match "kill" strategy.
What he wants most is for Manchester City to be casual on the pitch and deal with Arsenal with a haughty and arrogant appearance.
And when the time comes..... It's time for Arsenal to surprise them.
In his pre-match press conference, Arsene Wenger went on to praise Gobo and his team.
Gao Bo also praised Arsene Wenger at a press conference, calling him one of the greatest managers in Premier League history and a respected senior.
The two head coaches, one old and one young, touted each other at the press conference, and there was no antagonistic atmosphere at all.
This makes a Premier League game a friendly match.
....
The two sides are happy on the surface, but in fact, they are more energetic in private.
Ten minutes before the game, Gao Bo made the final mobilization to the players in the locker room.
"Watch out to Van Persie, don't let him form a bond with Cazorla!"
Gao Bo made the final pre-match details in front of the tactical board.
In the other dressing room, Arsene Wenger did the same.
The difference is that the Arsenal players can't wait to get on right away and prove to the manager that they are no worse than Manchester City!
......
When the players from both sides lined up on the court, Gao Bo appeared on the court first.
The fans at the Etihad Stadium cheered enthusiastically, and they all stood up and applauded their manager.
In just a few games, Gobo has already won the hearts of Manchester City fans.
He also raised his hands and clapped his hands in response to the fans.
The atmosphere at the scene began to become more enthusiastic.
At this time, Arsene Wenger also walked out of the players' tunnel.
Gao Bo took the initiative to reach out and shook hands with Wenger with a smile.
"What you've achieved in La Liga is truly impressive, congratulations, Gao Bo!!"
Arsene Wenger said.
"Thank you, Monsieur Arsène!"
Gao Bo said with a smile.
"Hopefully it's a good game!!"
"Yes! It's going to be a great game! β
Both of them have warm smiles on their faces, as if they are old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.
And when the two let go and turned to walk to the dugout, the smiles on their faces immediately disappeared.
The two head coaches each sat in the coach's seat with solemn faces.
