Chapter 679: Junior General Dennis

After the victory over Newcastle, the Premier League has officially entered the "Christmas Express season"!

This will be the most intense time in the league schedule and the easiest time for teams to drop points.

Many media outlets believe that City will concede at least one or two of these games in the Christmas schedule.

"Eden Hazard is injured, Eriksen has just recovered from injury, the possibility of playing is not high, Yaya Toure was beaten into the cold by Coach Gobo, in Manchester City's squad, these players in the midfield have been playing several games in a row, they must be rested, otherwise, the next injury list may appear soon!"

Ahead of the start of the 18th round of the league, local media outlet Manchester Evening News warned Manchester City in a report.

It is true that Casemiro and David Silva are already full-time iron men, Casemiro is okay, he is a strong and physical defensive midfielder, David Silva is not good, and at one point in the last game against Newcastle, David Silva was already a little overwhelmed.

Gao Bo also knows this, so David Silva did not play in this game.

David Silva is an important player for him and he doesn't want to overuse it and cause injuries to his main players.

The eighteenth round of the league is played on December 18, just three days after the last match.

This game Manchester City is still away, and the opponent is Reading!

Reading are not a strong team, but at their home stadium, Reading will definitely fight hard at home.

Playing away from home in England is never easy, and no matter how strong the team is, the home team doesn't give up on the game!

And in the face of a dense schedule, Manchester City's rotation is also a matter of course.

However, two hours before the start of the game, Manchester City's starting line-up appeared in the hands of media reporters and commentators, and everyone was taken aback.

The personnel in other positions were okay, but it was in the midfield that surprised people!

"Dennis... Suarez?! ”

"Who is this? Sounds familiar?? ”

"That Spanish genius from a few years ago, I haven't seen that name in a long time!!"

"This is the young player's first start, right?"

"It's actually the first appearance!!"

There was a lot of buzz in the media booth, with reporters expressing their thoughts on Denis Suarez's start.

"Even if the schedule is dense and requires rotation, you don't have to be so aggressive, right?!"

"To start such a player who has no first-team experience, I don't know if this little guy can stand this pressure!"

"Reading's chance has come!!"

The Reading manager did feel his chance had come.

Take a look at City's starting line-up: goalkeeper Oblak, centre-back duo of Vincent Kompany and Maguire, right-back Kieran Trippier, left-back Klich, midfielders James Milner, Casemiro, Denis Suarez, Barry, and up front with Adam White and Vardy!

A 442 formation!

Compared to three days ago, there are five changes to Manchester City!

Among them, Denis Suarez is an eighteen-year-old who started for the first time, Adam White has not played much this season, and the same is true for Barry and Klich!

In the face of such a lineup, Reading, who is playing at home, is of course willing to wrestle with Manchester City!

......

If reinforcements can be brought in now, Gao Bo doesn't want Dennis to start like this, after all, Denis Suarez is not a mature player yet, and he seems to be suspected of pulling seedlings to face a game of this intensity in the Premier League.

However, there is no other way for Gobo to do now, Eriksen has just returned from injury, he does not want to risk starting Eriksen, and the Dane is now on the bench for Manchester City.

If Denis Suarez is too leaky, he can come off the bench at any time.

Of course, Gao Bo didn't let Dennis start without protection like this.

Milner and Casemiro were behind him, with Barry also on hand to assist him.

Before the start of the game, Gao Bo put his arm around Dennis's shoulders and said, "Dennis, listen! I know that the first official game of the first team is a start in the Premier League, so it will be a lot of pressure! But.... If you want to be a real professional, a real star, the pressure is just a small part of your future game! Think about it, it's just a normal league game, what if it's a title race, if it's a cup final, or even a Champions League final? Think about the pressure of facing that kind of competition, is it much less pressure now? ”

Gao Bo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go up!" Don't be nervous! Your skills at your feet are very good, put him to good use, those rough guys in Reading will definitely not be able to take you! Avoid direct physical contact with the opponent, pass the ball and run! Remember where your strengths are!! ”

Dennis's immature face was a little nervous, and he was just about to nod or something, when he felt a force behind him, and he was pushed into the field by Gao Bo.

A small seedling under protection, this game is about to be removed for the first time.

Gao Bo doesn't feel cruel, in his opinion, if he wants to become a talent, if he can't stand this pressure, do you need to talk about anything later?

And in order to build confidence for this little guy, Gao Bo has made a lot of money.

In the card system, there are two cards that are equipped for Denis Suarez.

[Match Card (Blue): Physical Confrontation Ability increased by 15%, used by designated player 'Denis Suarez'!] 】

[Match Card (Blue): Increases physical strength by 15%, designated player 'Dennis Suarez' to use!] 】

In Gao Bo's view, in the midfield position, Dennis lacks even physical ability, his foot skills, and his vision attributes are even higher than Eriksen's.

In addition, it is the experience of the game, and the ability to withstand pressure!

If Dennis can survive this, his future is limitless, and if he can't survive, I'm afraid he will go to La Liga's minor league for a few seasons like the other end of history, and then go to Barcelona to play as a substitute for Iniesta and others....

.....

When Gao Bo pushed Dennis into the field, the sudden burst of cheers from the scene made Dennis Suarez in a trance!

He's familiar with this arena, and he's familiar with this grass.

Of course, he is also familiar with football!

Growing up, he was always around football.

His excellent ball sense has wowed everyone, and his vision on the pitch has always made him an absolute core of the Spanish U-Series national team.

However, this is the first time he has experienced a scene like this!

The first first-team appearance, it was a start!

Dennis was in the midst of a great tumult, and his feet were as heavy as lead.

The huge hustle and bustle came like a wave of air, making him subconsciously want to escape.

"Want to be a real star?"

Dennis suddenly remembered what Gao Bo had said to him.

"I can give you a chance, and I can give someone else a chance. So, I hope you take the chance!! ”

yes, it's an opportunity!!

Dennis took a deep breath and finally took a step!

The players from both sides have also taken their positions and the game is about to begin.
