Chapter 789: Who's Going to Stop Manchester City?
The UEFA Super Cup is over.
Manchester City beat Benfica 5-0 to win their first UEFA Super Cup!
At the same time, Gao Bo himself has also achieved the Grand Slam of European club honors.
Gao Bo has also won the league championships of the five major leagues, the domestic cup championships, the Europa League championships, the Champions League championships, the European Super Cup, and even the Community Shield and the Spanish Super Cup.
After the match, Sky Sports chose a photo of Gao Bo holding the UEFA Super Cup trophy as a photo.
And next to it, those championship trophies won by Gao Bo were also P.
A feast for the eyes!
"The youngest Grand Slam coach in history!!"
This is the title chosen by Sky Sports.
"After Coach Gao Bo led Manchester City to win the UEFA Super Cup, the 31-year-old Gao Bo became the youngest European club honorary Grand Slam coach in history!! Of course, he still has an English League Cup trophy that has not been touched, but traditionally, the League Cup is of course not as good as the FA Cup, and in Europe's top five leagues, except for the Premier League, there are no League Cup and FA Cup two parallel cup formats in China, of course, this season, Manchester City may have won the League Cup? With their form and squad depth, it's no surprise that they even do that! ”
Due to participation in the UEFA Super Cup, the third round of the Premier League between Manchester City and Hull City has been postponed for a few days.
In midweek, Manchester City host Hull City.
Due to the previous UEFA Super Cup, there have been some rotations, so Gao Bo was able to send all the main lineup in this game.
In the end, Manchester City relied on Eden Hazard's brace and Griezmann's long-range shot! 3-0 win at home to Hull City!
After this game, the media were exclaiming the strength of Manchester City!
"This Manchester City team is getting stronger and stronger, they have amazing squad depth and they are first-class stars, both in the main team and on the bench! And their main squad is very young, Griezmann and Eden Hazard, as well as David Silva, these three Manchester City players, if their form can be maintained, these three players will be Manchester City can rely on super players in the next decade! ”
After three rounds of matches, Manchester City won three games and won three games, got nine points, and ranked first in the league.
In second place is Liverpool.
Surprisingly, Liverpool also won the first three league games, first at home to Stoke City, then away to Aston Villa in the second round, and back at home in the third round, Rafael Benitez's side, who won the red derby with a 1-0 home win over Manchester United!
The result not only surprised fans and the media, but even Gao Bo paid attention to Benitez's side.
The result of all three games was the same, with Liverpool winning 1-0 – 1-0 in three games, giving Liverpool three wins and second place in the league on goal difference.
In third place is Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho's side have won two and drawn one of their first three games, and are third with seven points.
Fourth place is Arsenal, and Professor Arsene Wenger's side have won two big games after losing in the first round, and they are six points to secure third.
Pep Guardiola's Manchester United, on the other hand, had a bad start to the first three league rounds, especially a draw with Chelsea, and then lost to Liverpool away from home, failing to win two games in a row, leaving Pep Guardiola's side in eighth place.
Manchester United, the favorite to win the championship before the game, seems to have encountered a small crisis at this time.
There has also been talk of Manchester United in the media, with some already believing that the slow start to the season could be a big reason for their final fall in the title race.
However, the league has just begun, and the current results and rankings will not have much reference value.
Of course, United fans are unhappy with the team's current performance.
The team only got four points in three rounds, one draw and one loss, five points behind the city rival Manchester City, especially the away loss to Liverpool, which made Manchester United fans very unhappy.
Manchester United fans are unhappy, Manchester City fans are of course happy.
In the past, when the fans of both sides were on the bar, Manchester United fans humiliated Manchester City with the fact that they did not have a Premier League title and a Champions League title.
But after last season, Manchester City won both the Premier League and the Champions League!
This made Manchester City fans feel very proud of their eyebrows.
Manchester City fans have never had such confidence in the team as they do now, and the Manchester City era of Gobo is destined to become the greatest era of Manchester City since the establishment of the team!
.......
After playing the third round of the Premier League, the fourth round of the Premier League also followed.
In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Stoke City away!
In this game, Gao Bo made some small rotations in the front court.
Adam White and Jamie Vardy were given appearances, while Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann were rested.
Since the team is all-round this season, Gao Bo attaches great importance to the rotation strategy.
The first is to ensure the fitness of the main players, and the second is of course to give the substitutes more opportunities to play, so that they can stand up to the key moments.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yuanshan entered the squad in this game, but did not get the opportunity to play.
In the previous three rounds of the Premier League, Li Yuanshan went to participate in the reserve league games.
And the reason why Li Yuanshan did not play in this game is also very simple.
Because the team ended up with players in the midfield and back – in the 70th minute, when Eriksen took a direct free-kick to give the team a 4-0 lead, the team closed the game.
Gao Bo then began to bring on a few midfielders.
Denis Suarez and Wanyama came off the bench to replace Alexis Sanchez and David Silva!
And even then, the game isn't over yet!
In the eighty-third minute of the game, Vardy scored with a header in the penalty area!
Five to zero!
Vardy scored a hat siva, and Manchester City also beat Stoke City away to make it four league wins in a row!
Liverpool, meanwhile, were held to a 2-2 draw away from home by Swansea to end a three-game winning streak.
In doing so, Manchester City have won 12 points from four consecutive wins and are at the top of the league table.
Their main rivals, Manchester United, are currently on seven points after four games, five behind Manchester City, while Chelsea are ten points behind them, two points behind Manchester City.
As for Liverpool, since Liverpool has not won the Premier League title since they entered the Premier League era, most media outlets do not count Liverpool among the league title contenders.
The points are not enough to show that Manchester City are strong.
In terms of goals! Manchester City scored fourteen goals in four league games! The average number of goals scored per game is more than three, and in terms of the number of goals conceded.... So far, Manchester City have conceded zero goals!
In the first four rounds of the league, no team has been able to break through Manchester City's goal.
In terms of goal statistics, Chelsea, which overtook Liverpool and ranked second in the league, scored only five goals, nine fewer goals than Manchester City, and Chelsea conceded one goal.
So, after the fourth round of the Premier League, the media exclaimed: who is going to stop Manchester City?
