Chapter 796: Star-Making Movement

The result of the Manchester derby in the first league game of the season caused an uproar!

Everyone was stunned by such a result!

Manchester United lose 6-1 away from home!

This was unthinkable before!

It is conceivable what kind of grim situation Manchester United is encountering now, and the pressure on Guardiola is unprecedented.

After the game, another Manchester United legend also took to the media.

Scholes directly attacked Pogba, who had a mediocre performance in this game, saying that he did not show any desire to win at all, and it was not at all what a professional player should be.

The public opinion of the media, the criticism of celebrities, and even the backlash of fans.

All of this makes United's prospects for this season a bit bleak.

And for Manchester City, who won, they can't feel better now.

After the game, the Manchester City players celebrated the victory against their arch-rivals at home with the fans in attendance!

Manchester City, of course, will not show mercy because of sympathy for their opponents!

The opponent is Manchester United, their sworn enemies in the same city!

In the case of being able to score one more goal, Manchester City will definitely not be soft!

Such a game is enough for Manchester City fans to be happy for a season or two, and even after many seasons, Manchester City fans can proudly mention the score of 6-1 to their city rivals.

.....

The next day, the team took a day off and then continued to assemble for training.

Before the start of training, Gao Bo told the players: "The joy of winning this game stopped yesterday, and we have more games to come. Dwelling on the past won't make us win the race, it will stop us from moving forward!! ”

The long league is like a tough marathon.

Perhaps the Manchester City players will gain a strong sense of confidence from such a big win, or perhaps the Manchester City fans will celebrate the last week for this victory.

But for Gao Bo and his coaching staff.

That's just three points.

Whether it's six to one or one to zero, it's three points.

Goal difference is not too important in the long league competition, after all, there are very few cases of goal difference of the same score in the end.

The lead in points is the safest.

In the planning book of the coaching staff, no matter what score the score wins, it will only end up with three points, and it will not give Manchester City a few more points because of a big win.

Training for the first team began very quickly.

The team's next game is the League Cup.

Gao Bo does not plan to send the main force in this game, and even he is ready to transfer several players from the reserve team to play this game.

Among them is Li Yuanshan!

When Li Yuanshan received the training yellow vest along with several players who might play in the League Cup, he knew that he would probably play in the League Cup!

So during the training, Li Yuanshan was in a trance.

Li Yuanshan, who is 19 years old this year, is about to represent Manchester City!

Although it is only a League Cup match, it is already a very big leap for Li Yuanshan.

Thinking about the competition, this made Li Yuanshan's concentration a little unfocused, and the natural training effect was not much better.

When Li Yuanshan was distracted in training and didn't stop a ball.

Gao Bo immediately frowned and stopped the training match!

Then he called Li Yuanshan to the sidelines and reprimanded him.

Manchester City's players cast sympathetic glances at Li Yuanshan.

In general, Gao Bo is a very good-tempered person, he basically doesn't get angry much, and if you train hard, the coach will not take any "special care" of you.

But Li Yuanshan is different, Gao Bo is always very strict with him and very strict.

Vardy looked at Li Yuanshan with some envy.

He knew that this was a manifestation of the special relationship between Li Yuanshan and Gao Bo.

Sometimes, politeness can only mean that the relationship between you and the other person has not reached that point.

Gao Bo's harshness towards Li Yuanshan, in Vardy's view, is a reflection of the extremely close relationship between the leader and the other party.

No wonder some people say in private that Li Yuanshan is the son's own son....

Griezmann was also a little jealous when he looked at Li Yuanshan.

The nickname "pro-son" used to be exclusive to him....

.....

At the end of training, in the locker room.

Like Li Yuanshan, midfielder Dennis Suarez, who often plays in the reserve league, sits next to him.

"What did the boss tell you, Lee?"

Dennis asked as he swapped out his gear.

"He scolded me..."

Li Yuanshan spread his hands a little helplessly.

"It's... I envy you guy. ”

Denis Suarez said that at Manchester City, the relationship between Li Yuanshan and Gao Bo is no secret.

Therefore, of course, Denis Suarez envies that Li Yuanshan can often get Gao Bo's "private guidance".

"What are you envious of, I can't even play in the league now, you have come off the bench anyway." Li Yuanshan put the sneakers on the shoe rack, and Manchester City has a special equipment management department that will be responsible for cleaning and sorting the sneakers.

"Have you heard, in the League Cup, I'm afraid the two of us will start!" Dennis leaned over and said mysteriously.

Li Yuanshan shook his head: "This is obvious, the League Cup is not an important game, I'm afraid it is the substitutes and a few reserve players to deal with." ”

"It's the starter, Lee!" Denis Suarez doesn't think so.

"If I do well in this game, maybe I can be in the squad more often!"

Denis Suarez said he is still optimistic right now. After all, compared to Li Yuanshan, his competitive pressure is slightly less.

He can play as a striker on the left and right and as a midfielder.

Due to Kaka's injury, in addition to the three regular main players, there are currently two substitutes Adam White and Eriksen, and these two players are between the main substitutes, often coming off the bench, and even sometimes starting when they are rotated.

As a result, Denis Suarez is also often able to get the chance to play.

If you don't take advantage of Kaka's injury to perform better, I'm afraid there will be no chance at all.

And Li Yuanshan is the center, and more importantly, he is a pure center, the traditional big center type.

As a bridgehead in the frontcourt, Li Yuanshan's ability is mainly in his body and header, and he can't pull the side.

The team's current main centre-forward is Eden Hazard, followed by Jamie Vardy, and even if neither of these two can play, Sanchez and Antoine Griezmann can also play in that position.

No matter how it is sorted, Li Yuanshan's appearance order is very low.

Fortunately, he is the main force in the reserves.

In the reserve league, Li Yuanshan, who has played five games, has two goals and two assists, which can be regarded as a good completion of the task of the center forward.

"That's just as well!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"I'll give you an assist then!" Denis Suarez patted Li Yuanshan on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry!! I'm not going to waste your pass!! Li Yuanshan and Dennis high-fived.

......

September 25th!

League Cup third round.

Premier League teams are fully on board.

Manchester City's opponents are Wigan Athletic, opponents in last season's FA Cup final.

Wigan Athletic were relegated from the Premier League last season and lost the FA Cup.

Wigan Athletic's main goal this season is of course promotion from the Championship, while they won't put too much effort into other cup competitions and the like.

And this game is away from home against Manchester City, despite losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup final last season, and to some extent, the two sides are also feuding.

But Wigan Athletic have no intention of taking revenge on Manchester City.

The two sides are not at the same level at all, and Wigan Athletic's strength does not allow them to be distracted too much.

Just to promote the Premier League, the competition in the Championship is fierce enough, even after the relegation of Wigan Athletic, there are not many main players leaving, but it is still quite difficult to upgrade from the Championship, which is known as the strongest secondary league in the world.

Therefore, Wigan Athletic will line up a second-tier squad for this game.

As for Manchester City, they also play in the second lineup.

But unlike Wigan Athletic's mentality of giving up the game, Manchester City are going to win this game.

In the locker room, Gao Bo emphasized the team's goal for this game!

Win!

"I'm just going to accept winning!"

Gao Bo said this after explaining the tactical aspects.

......

When the players from both sides entered the stadium, in the queue of Manchester City players, Li Yuanshan suddenly appeared!

"Li Yuanshan started !!"

At this time, far away in China, CCTV Sports Channel, commentator Duan Xuan said excitedly.

Although it was only a League Cup match, the match is still attracting attention in China.

Because before this game, many domestic media began to blow that Li Yuanshan will get the opportunity to play in the League Cup.

"This is the second Chinese player to get a chance to play in the UK three years after Zheng Zhi returned to China! And he's representing a super team like Manchester City!! Li Yuanshan come on!! ”

On the football field, players are actually more concerned than coaches.

Especially in the eyes of the fans, after all, the game is done by the players, and most of the time of a game, the fans are also paying attention to the performance of the players.

The coach's job is more focused on the work behind the scenes, and in the middle of the game, the coaches have much less shots than the players.

......

In this game, Manchester City played relatively simply.

Because this is a mix and match lineup of substitutes and reserves, in terms of tacit understanding, it is naturally inferior to the main team.

And the team also has a high school striker in the frontcourt, and Manchester City also attacks around the high school forward.

Gao Bo looked at Li Yuanshan, of course he hoped that Li Yuanshan's performance would be better.

In the team, although his relationship with Li Yuanshan has never been mentioned, everyone knows the relationship between them.

If Li Yuanshan can't come up with a convincing performance, it is inevitable that someone will hype this point.

The manager is cronyistic or something.

Although from the bottom of his heart, Gao Bo chose Li Yuanshan, the relationship between them obviously accounts for a large proportion, because in this world, there are many young high school strikers who are similar to Li Yuanshan, and there is a wide range of options in Europe.

But.... China is just one Li Yuanshan.

This alone is able to make Gao Bo make a choice.

The promotion of a sport by a star is obvious.

The popularity of basketball in China is largely due to the fact that our country has a Yao Ming and a world-class superstar, which is twice the result with half the effort for the promotion of a sport.

And the biggest problem of Chinese football, what corruption, blackness, and players not working hard are only secondary factors. The most important thing is that there are not many people playing football in the whole country........

The Argentyan Football Association is dark enough, right?

But who would dare to say that Argentina is not a world powerhouse! There are more than 2 million registered players in Argentina!

Even if the funds of the Argentine national team were embezzled by the Argentine Football Association to the point that Messi's coal boss had to pay out of his own pocket for the ticket to play abroad, he still mixed it well.

In China, on the other hand, according to publicly available data, the number of registered players is only ....... Eight thousand!

This figure is less than one in two hundredth in Argentina!

So, if we talk about the match between the Chinese national team and the Argentine national team, it is not China's 1.3 billion population against Argentina's 40 million population, but ... Eight thousand footballers against two million footballers!

That's the gap! The gap between heaven and earth!

This is the gap between Chinese football and the world's football powers.

This gap is not something that can be bridged by the hard work of any player.

This is fundamentally not the opponent of the other side at all.

And the only way to change this situation is to start from the ground up – first and foremost, someone has to play football.

.....

If you just rely on Li Yuanshan's current strength, if you want to become a star, you still have a long way to go.

But with Gao Bo, all this is different.

[Match Card (Orange): Increase physical confrontation ability by 15%, header ability by 15%, speed increase by 15%, designated player "Li Yuanshan" to use! 】

This card is the card chosen by Gao Bo after receiving the mission reward at the end of last season.

It can be said that this is specially prepared for Li Yuanshan.

Physical confrontation and header are Li Yuanshan's strengths!

At this point, Gao Bo strengthened and made him even stronger in these two areas.

And Li Yuanshan's weakness lies in mobility.

At this point, it is necessary to strengthen the speed!

......

Li Yuanshan feels that he is in very good shape in this game!

His runs, his confrontations, and even his control of the ball!

It's all at ease!

This even made Li Yuanshan feel that this game was much easier than playing in the reserve league!

The third minute of the game!

Li Yuanshan stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area and protected the ball, and returned it to Denis Suarez!

Denis Suarez shoots with his feet!

The ball whizzes towards the goal and is saved by the goalkeeper!

Manchester City get a corner!

Denis Suarez goes for a corner.

In the penalty area, Li Yuanshan raised his arms high, and Denis Suarez also made a gesture.

This is a set-piece tactic that was practiced before the game!

Everyone covers Li Yuanshan's run!!

Dennis put his hand down and sent a pre-point!

And Li Yuanshan first made a momentum and rose back, and then suddenly stepped forward!

Other players helped him lead away from the defense, and the players of Wigan Athletic, who were responsible for defending the front point, were crushed by Li Yuanshan both in physical confrontation and headers!

Shake your head and hit the goal!

The ball flew into the goal from the back post accurately!

One-to-!!!!!

"The corner kick is on... Li Yuanshan... Header!!! ”

Duan Xuan shouted!!

"Pretty!! Pretty!!!! Li Yuanshan scored in his first competitive match in England!!! ”

"A nice header to score!! Completely showed his physicality!! How many years, how many years have we not seen such a Chinese player appear! A big center!! A very strong big center!! He is only nineteen years old!! He is the best choice for the future striker of Chinese football!! ”

Duan Xuan was almost about to wipe his tears.

That's hope!

Unlike Gao Bo, Duan Xuan didn't actually think about it that much.

In his opinion, as long as there are a few good players who improve the performance of the national team, there will naturally be more people who pay attention to football.

After the goal, Li Yuanshan was very excited, and he waved his arms and ran to the sidelines.

Gao Bo knew what he was going to do when he saw Li Yuanshan's movements.

He laughed and opened his arms.

Li Yuanshan plunged into his arms.

"I scored! I scored! Li Yuanshan hugged Gao Bo and spoke incoherently.

Gao Bo patted him on the back.

He could understand the feeling.

The nineteen-year-old, who went to Europe at the age of fifteen, spent several years in the academy and finally played in the first team and scored!

Could there be a more perfect debut like this?

"Thank you, brother!"

When Li Yuanshan came out of Gao Bo's arms, he looked at Gao Bo and said seriously.

"Call me the head in the team!!" Gao Bo tried to keep a straight face, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Li Yuanshan's goal made Gao Bo feel like his children had finally grown up.

The corners of his eyes were wrinkled with laughter.

When he watched Li Yuanshan return to the court, Gao Bo crossed his hands on his hips, as if he had completed something that had been pressing on his heart.

.....

At this time, in China, Meizhou, Guangdong.

Mr. Chen and his wife watched Li Yuanshan and Gao Bo hug each other, and Mr. Chen also wiped his tears.

When Li Yuanshan called home, although he never said it, Chen Lao knew that training abroad was several times more difficult than at home.

And now that he scored in the game, it can be regarded as a bittersweet end, after the orphanage collapsed, Li Yuanshan was the only child living with Chen Lao.

It's basically like his own grandson.

Now seeing Li Yuanshan's performance in foreign competitions, Chen Lao is also very relieved.

At least, he didn't have to worry about the future of the distant mountains.

......

The game resumes.

After the goal, Li Yuanshan was even more active!

The eighteenth minute of the game!

Li Yuanshan received a long pass from the backfield and an accurate header ferry!

Dennis = Suarez stepped forward and volleyed directly without stopping the ball!

Football flies into the goal again!

Two to zero!!

With less than 20 minutes to go, Manchester City were already 2-0 ahead!

.......

The final score of this match was 5-0!

Li Yuanshan, who started the game, performed very well!

He scored two goals and an assist on his senior debut!

This is a very perfect night for Li Yuanshan!

Although this is only a League Cup match, this has already made everyone very recognized Li Yuanshan's performance.

At the end of the game, when Li Yuanshan and his teammates went to thank the home fans, the young Li Yuanshan also received the courtesy of the home fans chanting his name.

Li Yuanshan grinned, this is really a perfect start.

Gao Bo was also very happy.

He was very successful in Li Yuanshan's "star-making campaign".

As long as Li Yuanshan gradually integrates into the team, he also intends to give him more opportunities to play until he can adapt to the rhythm of the league.
