Chapter 640: Anyone has the right to dream

The sun is as bright as ever in Madrid.

For Gobo, Madrid is a more familiar place than Manchester, having been here for two years and only two months after he was at Manchester City.

Buses full of Manchester City players weave through Madrid's winding streets.

The low white walls and red roofs of the houses are all full of Spanish style.

Gao Bo is leading his team to the training ground.

They arrived in Madrid last evening and will have two days of training in Madrid to prepare for the match against Real Madrid.

On both sides of the road, Madridians had two reactions when they saw the Manchester City buses.

One is to give the middle finger up, which is obviously Real Madrid fans, who have a natural aversion to Gao Bo.

On the other hand, it is a thumbs up or a sign welcoming Gao Bo.

Others were holding scarves from Atletico Madrid.

Although Gao Bo knows that Simeone, the head coach who took over at Atletico Madrid, is also a good coach, Simeone will have to work hard to replace Gao Bo's position in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans.

At least for now, in the hearts of most Atletico Madrid fans, they are missing Gao Bo.

In just two seasons, he brought Atletico Madrid to the top and made Atletico Madrid, which had been sinking for more than ten years, a strong contender in La Liga again!

For this, Atletico Madrid fans are grateful.

.......

The training takes place on a rented pitch in the area.

If Gao Bo had a better relationship with Atletico Madrid's management, he could have borrowed Atletico Madrid's training ground.

But now the relationship between the two sides is obviously not so good, so they have to rent a pitch.

The 442 formation that played Stoke City in the last game was not specially prepared for Stoke City, but for this game.

In this game, Gao Bo is ready to continue to use the 442 formation, but the two strikers in front have become Hazard and Griezmann!

These are City's two sharp knives and he's ready to put Milner on the pitch, a jack-of-all-trades player with a lot of movement, a good defensive attitude and most importantly, a lot of fitness!

Milner can play as a wing-back on the left and right, as a wing-back on the left and right, as a midfielder, and even push up the front line as a striker if necessary.

This is a very professional player who always executes 100 per cent no matter what tactics the coach has on his orders.

Gao Bo likes to use this type of player, hard work, where it needs to be

If you don't have enough ability, you have to make up for it.

Therefore, in this game, he is ready to have Milner and Casemiro form a double midfield, as a barrier in front of the backline, with David Silva and Eriksen on either side, forming two tough enough defensive systems in the midfield!

Lately, the media has been hyping up Manchester City's dressing room problem. But there is one thing that the media is not wrong about.

That is, the current Manchester City is still in the run-in period, and Gao Bo's team has not reached the peak of state.

Gao Bo does not deny this point, the basis of victory is to know oneself and know one's opponent.

Therefore, in this game, Gao Bo intends to play defensive counterattack away from home.

He knows the situation of his team, but at the same time, he knows Real Madrid and Carlo Ancelotti at the same time.

To say that Carlo Ancelotti is indeed a very good manager, especially his management of the dressing room, under the management of the sleek Ancelotti, the current Real Madrid dressing room is definitely not as serious as the confrontation between the gangs during the Mourinho period.

Carlo Ancelotti is a manager who thinks he is good at uniting the dressing room, and in that regard, he is really suitable for Real Madrid – because Real Madrid's squad is one of the best in the world on paper, and it will be difficult for any team to beat them as long as Real Madrid's stars are united.

After Ancelotti took over Real Madrid, he did not make much adjustments to the tactical system of the Mourinho period, he followed Mourinho's fast defensive counterattack system, which is the tactical system that Real Madrid has run in for two seasons, which is naturally much higher than the run-in on Manchester City's side.

Therefore, this game is indeed a great opportunity for Real Madrid to win in a sense.

But... This does not mean that Gao Bo has to admit defeat.

Judging from various analyses, it is indeed Real Madrid who has the advantage, but the game is not determined by analysis and analysis.

The tactical choices on the field and the mentality of the players on both sides will have an immeasurable impact on the success of a game.

If Manchester City wants to play defensive counter-attack, it needs the cooperation of Real Madrid - the opponent has to attack to defend and counterattack.

But Real Madrid's main tactic is also defensive counter-attack, how can they take the initiative to press up and attack in positional warfare?

Gao Bo is naturally sure to do this, and he will arrange such a tactic away from home.....

........

The game is only 90 minutes long, but it is far more than just these 90 minutes that determine the outcome of the game.

After two days of training in Madrid, the day before the game, Gao Bo led the team to the Bernabeu for a stamping session, which was followed by a pre-match press conference.

Spanish journalists are all too familiar with Gao Bo, although the match was against Real Madrid, but there were also a lot of media from other places.

Gao Bo smiled and nodded to many acquaintances in the audience and said hello.

However, what he said next made Real Madrid's supporters slowly darken their faces.

He started by reminiscing about his fond memories of playing against Real Madrid.

"It's a place I'm very familiar with, and even though it's been two years, the 5-0 win feels like it happened yesterday."

"Real Madrid is a very favorite opponent for me because I know their weaknesses, I have won against Real Madrid many times, as far as how many times.... I don't remember a little clearly..."

Gao Bo waved his hand from the podium and said, smiling and reminiscing about his days in Madrid.

Real Madrid's supporters were furious.

It's so arrogant!

This is a door-to-door slap in the face!!

Many reporters were so angry that their chests bulged, but they were powerless to refute it.

Because what Gao Bo said is the truth, they can't refute it!

Therefore, they can only hope that the players of Real Madrid can be ashamed and brave and beat Gao Bo in this game, preferably by a big score!

Now Gobo is not coaching Atletico Madrid, but a new team!

He has only been in charge of Manchester City for two months, and it is absolutely impossible for Manchester City to reach the heights he had previously managed at Atletico Madrid!

The Spanish reporters looked at the triumphant Gao Bo on the stage, and almost didn't hold back their internal injuries.

Wait!!

When you lose, see how you can get off the stage!

Spanish reporters thought with a hard time.

And Gao Bo did not continue to stop after recalling his great achievements.

"I've heard that a lot of Madrid media have recently thought that this game is the best chance for Real Madrid to beat me!!"

Gao Bo stood up and was condescending.

"Anyone has the right to dream, that's what I'm saying."
