Chapter 690 is sluggish

The Arsenal fans who were beaten by Manchester City were undoubtedly very regretful.

Manchester City fans, on the other hand, were in ecstasy.

To be able to go ahead in the final minute and avoid dropping points at home was a surprise for Manchester City.

The win over Arsenal kept Manchester City at the top of the table.

On the other hand, Chelsea thrashed Stoke City 4-0 in this round, while Pep Guardiola's Manchester United humiliated Liverpool 3-0 at home in England's national derby.

The form in the standings remains unchanged.

......

The hard-fought victory strengthened his resolve to make some tactical adjustments.

And Kaka thought right, in the position of the midfielder, Eriksen performed decently, he can connect with the team well, but there is one point that Gao Bo is not very satisfied with. That is, he does not have the ability to break forward, or rather, it is a habit ....

It's something that's hard to change with cards, and Gobo can use cards to turn Eriksen into a breakout, but his habit of playing football is already set.

Kaka is different, his playing habits in this position are different from Eriksen's, and when the opportunity arises, Kaka will not hesitate to choose to break through.

Although in the past two or three seasons, due to the decline in explosiveness, Kaka's breakthrough has been far less sharp than before, but this habit of playing football is difficult to change.

In the past two or three seasons, Kaka seems to be changing, but if he can get back to his original rhythm, it will definitely have a one-plus-two-two effect on City's attack.

Gobo played Hazard as a central striker, Kaka as a midfielder, and David Silva and Antoine Griezmann on the left and right!

With such a four-man offensive combination, every player can become a breaking point! Every player has a lot of ability to break through and a lot of shooting ability.

In this case, in the face of such an offensive combination, it will undoubtedly be difficult to guard against one or the other.

And his purpose in bringing in Fernandinho is also to completely release the offensive energy of the front four.

Casemiro and Fernandinho's defensive prowess, as well as their consistency in receiving and passing, have helped City's attacking line-up a lot.

......

Of course, the idea is very good, but in order to achieve this ideal offensive configuration, it needs to be strengthened in training.

Before the start of training the next day, Kaka arrived at Gao Bo's office early.

For the position of Kaka, Gao Bo's attention is obvious.

Before the start of training every day, Gao Bo has to communicate with Kaka, hoping that he can adapt and integrate into the team's tactical system as soon as possible.

For the game against Arsenal the day before yesterday, Kaka had some of his thoughts on the table.

Gao Bo seemed very happy, as a world-class star, Kaka naturally could not be a fool. So he wasn't surprised that Kaka was able to figure out some key issues on his own.

"That's right! Kaka, I just need your offensive ability in this position! ”

Gao Bo took out the tactical board: "Look, this is the strength of the four attackers in our front court. If Aiden can really adapt well in the center position, then we have four points that can be connected to each other and have absolute breakthrough ability. ”

Gao Bo connected these points.

"No matter who is on the weak side, they can use their personal ability to create a great threat!"

"And if they want to keep all four of them at bay, hehe...," Gao Bo smiled, "then they have to put in more defensive players, and the pressure on our back line can be reduced a lot, and when the time comes, our defenders on the left and right flanks, as well as a midfielder, can be involved!" ”

"This can almost make us invincible!!"

The more Gao Bo spoke, the more excited he became.

However, Kaka's face was a little embarrassed, and he voiced his concerns.

Worried that you won't be able to break through?

Gao Bo thought about it, although he had cards to help Kaka, but this psychological problem needed a game to build self-confidence.

"Don't worry, Kaka!"

Gao Bo looked into Kaka's eyes and said, "Your last major injury was a few years ago, and this incident has created a psychological barrier for you. This means that you are mentally handicapped and there is nothing wrong with your body! ”

Kaka will be skeptical, because Gao Bo's words are really not very convincing....

.......

Three days after the match against Arsenal, in the 23rd round of the league, Manchester City hosted Fulham.

Before the game, Fulham boss Joel praised Gobbo's work at Manchester City before the game.

'There's no doubt that Manchester City are the strongest team in the whole league right now and playing against a team like this away from home is a lot of pressure on any team and we are certainly no exception!'

Joel said so, but Gopoko never took his words seriously.

Don't look at Fulham's attitude in the media that they think they are a fish belly team, but in the game, Fulham still worked very hard.

However, despite their hard work, they are not as good as Manchester City in terms of quality, especially away from home.

With goals from Antoine Griezmann, David Silva and once again Eden Hazard in the centre-forward position, Manchester City won 3-0 at home and won another league game.

Eden Hazard was much better in the centre-forward position than in the previous game, his ability to adapt to the position was excellent, and the Belgian has a high ball IQ and knows what he needs to do in that position.

There is nothing to say about the Manchester City win in this game itself.

But the thing that caught the attention of the media was that Kaka started in this game!

Although he didn't score, he played a full 90 minutes, and although he missed two or three chances, Kaka was not criticized after the game as the team won in the end.

......

However, when Manchester City played away to Stoke City in the fourth round of the FA Cup, Kaka was given another start.

In this game, Manchester City defeated Stoke City 1-0 at home and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

It was not Kaka who scored for Manchester City, but full-back Kieran Trippier scored the world-class goal with a long-range shot from outside the box.

After the game, the media began to criticize Kaka's sluggish performance, after all, Kaka did not score or assist in two consecutive starts.

They began to question whether Manchester City had made the right decision to bring Kaka to England, after all, Kaka is over 30 years old and is no longer in his prime, so can he regain his form in the Premier League?

In this regard, Gao Bo strongly supported Kaka, saying that Kaka is still the best star in the world, and he just came to the team and needs time to adapt.

Gobo's attitude of support for Kaka is that in the 24th round of Serie A a few days later, Manchester City will play Queens Park Rangers away, and he will keep Kaka in the starting line-up.

In this game, Manchester City beat Queens Park Rangers 2-1 away.

It's just that Kaka still didn't score, and both goals belonged to Hazard!

Eden Hazard has quickly adapted to playing as a centre-forward.

And Kaka is still tepid. Three starts, no goals, no assists.

After the game, the media's criticism of Kaka became even more violent.
