Chapter 626: The Premier League opens

There was some disagreement on whether to let Balotelli start in the first round of the league, but in the end, Gao Bo decided to keep his promise, since he said that the striker with the most goals in the warm-up game could start, then it was a sure thing to let Balotelli start.

At Manchester City, Gao Bo still emphasizes the overall ground coordination and promotion tactics, and at the same time, unlike Atletico Madrid, in order to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, he requires the passing to be simpler and more aggressive!

In a fast-paced environment like La Liga, the possibility of mistakes may rise, and from the perspective of the lineup, this Manchester City lineup is indeed suitable for playing fast.

Whether it's Eriksen or David Silva in midfield, these are players who are very good at receiving passes and running in the front field, and the two sides of Hazard and Griezmann are like two fists, and Manchester City's main point of attack is to create opportunities for the two wings.

Therefore, the selection of the center forward will not have much impact on the team's tactics, which is why Gao Bo dared to start Balotelli.

.......

The 2012-2013 Premier League opener was between West Ham United and Aston Villa, with the two teams playing a very dull game at the Bubble Stadium, with a tug-of-war in midfield continuing until the 78th minute of the game, when the deadlock was finally broken and West Ham won 1-0 at home to Aston Villa with a corner goal.

After that, the Premier League competition began in full swing.

Manchester City's game kicks off the day after the opener, at the Etihad Stadium, where they host Southampton.

Regarding the result of this game, most media believe that Manchester City will win comfortably at home, and Southampton will hardly have the quality to challenge Manchester City.

However, there is a lot of speculation about Manchester City's start.

Especially in midfield, due to the introduction of Casemiro and Eriksen this season, there is a lot of discussion among fans about whether these two new signings will start.

The prevailing view is that Casemiro and Christian Eriksen are both just a complement to City's midfield and that they will struggle to be in the starting line-up.

Because there are still David Silva, Yaya Toure, Barry and others in Manchester City's midfield, Casemiro and Eriksen have never played in the Premier League before, and they have not proven themselves in other leagues in the top five leagues, it may be difficult for these two players to occupy a place in Manchester City's midfield.

As for the selection of the striker, it is expected that nothing will change, with Antoine Griezmann and Eden Hazard being the two most expensive players City have brought in this season, with Antoine Griezmann spending 150 million for Manchester City and Eden Hazard spending £35 million.

Overall, Gobo didn't continue to spend a lot of money on reinforcements, not for the sake of Manchester City – the Abu Dhabi consortium didn't need him to save money. It's that Gao Bo feels that his lineup is enough, even if he changes all the lineups of Manchester City, it is meaningless, because in his opinion, he does not need to be a top star in every position at all.

Because he still has cards! Winning the Champions League and La Liga last season has enriched his card mix. In this game, as long as his card configuration is based on offensive and defensive balance.

Defensively, interceptor cards are definitely to be equipped.

The fitness card is also a card that Gao Bo likes to use very much, and in the final stage of the game, the physical advantage will allow the team to continuously suppress the opponent. In addition to this, in terms of offense, Gao Bo is equipped with an orange card.

[Match Card (Orange): +15% Shooting Rate; Incision success rate +15%】

This is the card chosen by Gao Bo after winning the Champions League.

This card is completely equipped to play to the advantages of both sides, Hazard plays the left with his right foot, Antoine Griezmann plays the right with his left foot, and Gao Bo completely uses the two players as backfoot wingers, and the inward shot is one of the main attacking methods of the backfoot winger, so it is necessary to do something about this.

In terms of center forwards, Gao Bo's requirements will not be too high, so this is the reason why even if Balotelli is allowed to start, Gao Bo feels that there is no big problem.

As for whether Balotelli can score?

He just needs to play a role in the restraint.

After shaking hands with the Southampton manager, he sat in the dugout amid the cheers and applause of the fans at the Etihad Stadium.

The picture of the TV set has been written for Goldporter.

It was Gobo's first game in the Premier League, and it still seems to be somewhat memorable.

"Gobo is no stranger to this stadium, having beaten Manchester City in the FA Cup two years ago! And now, he is back in England with the aura of a European champion coach, and he is at the helm of the Etihad! Where will Manchester City be taken by him? We'll see. ”

Commentator Lightkinson said.

When the players from both sides stood in the tunnel and lined up for the game, Sky TV commentator Lightkinson was already sitting in the commentary box at the Etihad Stadium, and after speaking, he picked up a document, which was the first game of the game.

"Looks like we all guessed wrong!!" When Lightkinson saw Manchester City's starting line-up, he said, "In this game, Coach Gobo's start was unexpected, not many people can even guess it!" ”

"First of all, in terms of goalkeepers, the starting goalkeeper is the young Oblak, who was born in 1993 and is only 19 years old, and he replaces Hart in the starting line-up!"

Not only Lightkinson, but also Manchester City fans were surprised by Oblak's start.

Joe Hart, England's international, has been Manchester City's No.1 goalkeeper for five years since October 2007.

Although the outside world often ridicules Joe Hart as the backdrop board for various world waves, this doesn't show how powerful Joe Hart is - it seems that only world waves can break through his goal!

And who is Oblak sacred?

The number two goalkeeper from Benfica?

When the starting line-up came out, the English journalists in the media box started talking.

The England international was on the bench, while the 19-year-old, born in '93, started.

This made these English reporters very angry, no matter how bad Hart is, can he be worse than a young goalkeeper who is less than 20 years old?

'Oblak started and it was a real surprise. Redknapp, Lightkinson's commentary partner, said, "Maybe Oblak is a very talented goalkeeper, but at such a young age, starting in the opening game of the Premier League, the young youngster doesn't know if he can handle the pressure. ”

Redknapp thinks that it is undoubtedly a risk to start Oblak, he is good to perform, if he does not perform well, with the public opinion media environment like England, whether this young player can withstand the pressure is really worrying.

'We want Oblak to put in a good performance, then there's the back line, the centre-back combination is Kompany and Kolo Toure, left wing-back Kolarov, right wing-back... Kieran Trippier, this is another unexpected starter, and Coach Gobo likes to use young players very much! ”

"And the bigger change is in the midfield, Casemiro and Eriksen, who have been introduced this season, have appeared in the starting position, and the other midfielder is David Silva, judging from the formation given at the beginning, Casemiro is in the middle, standing in the midfield position, in front of him on the left is David Silva, on the right is Eriksen, two attacking midfielders and a defensive midfielder configuration. Yaya Toure and Milner sat on the bench, and Manchester City's second captain Barry was not included in the squad for the game.....

"On the forward line, Hazard on the left and Griezmann on the right, it is not surprising that these two players are starting, and on the forward line, Balotelli, who was once rumored to be sold by Manchester City, actually appeared in the starting center position!!"

While there was a lot of talk about City's starting XI, the players were already on the pitch.

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, players from both sides stood in their positions and waited for the game to begin.

The referee and the fourth official on the sidelines are on the table!

The Etihad Stadium was brightly lit and the City fans in the stands stood up.

Although the team is still spending a lot of money this season, the difference is that the team has a real champion coach!

Fans are watching the stadium and waiting for the season to begin.

Wish...... It's no longer a bitter season.
