Chapter 625 Words... Walk the talk!

City's pre-season training has begun.

After a few days of physical strengthening, technical and tactical training was soon added.

Due to the impact of the European Championship, Gao Bo did not have two or three months to slowly polish the team's overall tactics, but Manchester City's individual players are quite good, so he simplified the attacking tactics a lot.

In his vision, David Silva and Christian Eriksen are responsible for the playmaking and tandem up front, with the centre of gravity on the two wings.

Antoine Griezmann and Eden Hazard are outstanding enough to ensure City are able to tear apart most of the team's defence on the flanks.

The midfield is controlled by two technical players who can fly on both sides.

Manchester City's main style of play in the new season is quite simple, but this set of relatively simple tactics is set up to adapt to the current situation of Manchester City.

Training began on July 15, and the first game of the Premier League began on August 20, which is a month and five days of running-in training period, and there is no way to set up any too complex tactics at this time, such as the smooth front-court cooperation played in the late stage of Atletico Madrid, which cannot be played without more than half a season.

Fortunately, Gao Bo has saved a lot of training cards in the past two seasons, and before the start of the season, these training cards have made Gao Bo's training effect twice as effective with half the effort, and Manchester City's new and old players have quickly integrated into the team as a whole.

In terms of defense, Casemiro is responsible for protecting the backfield, and the main center-back combination, Gao Bo has already let Kompany and Colo Toure partner together, after all, Maguire has not played in the Premier League, and the central defender is a very experienced position.

The core members of the coaching staff are all Gao Bo's people, and they have been working together for several seasons, so the team's training is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Manchester City did not take on any commercial activities this season.

Business is to make money, what money does Manchester City need to make?

Before the Financial Fair Play Act came into effect, no team could afford to spend more money than Manchester City, and Mansour had a steady stream of dollars coming in whenever he opened the oil valve. Spending more than ten or two billion on Manchester City is really as simple as us ordinary people buying a pack of cigarettes.

....

A week later, Manchester City faced their first warm-up opponents, Championship side Burnley.

According to the plan, in the first two warm-up games, the starting striker was Dzeko.

In other positions, Gao Bo is not fixed, anyway, it is a warm-up, the state of all the players, and the feeling of everyone still have to be found.

David Silva and Christian Eriksen, as well as Eden Hazard, were on the bench.

Casemiro, Yaya Toure and James Milner started in midfield, while Adam White and Antoine Griezmann flanked him to the left and right.

At the back are Kompany and Kolo Toure, goalkeeper Oblak, left wing-back Klich and right wing-back Kieran Trippier.

This line-up played the first half, with Antoine Griezmann scoring and Dzeko not scoring.

However, in the second half, Dzeko finally seized a cross and headed the ball into the back of the net.

In the first warm-up game, Manchester City won 2-0 against Burnley.

Shortly after this warm-up, Manchester City ushered in their second warm-up game.

The striker who started was still Dzeko, and Dzeko was very good in this game, and his two headers showed his superiority in terms of height headers.

City faced Dresden from the German second division and won 3-0 thanks to two headers from Dzeko and a goal from Silva in Dawei.

In the next two warm-up games, Jamie Dardy also got his chance.

He started against Besiktas and Limerick, two teams from the Turkish Super League and the Irish First Division respectively.

And Adam and Griezmann, of course, did their best to support their old friends.

In both games, Vardy scored twice and scored four goals! beat Dzeko, and his way of scoring goals is also different from Dzeko, four goals, one header, one counterattack, and both times in the penalty area to grab points and score successfully!

Gao Bo nodded as he watched from the sidelines.

Jamie Vardy is a striker who fits his tactics because he doesn't need Vardy to do anything, he just needs him to score and shoot when there is space in the box!

Dare to shoot, mentally stable, stable archery!

This is what Gao Bo asks of a striker.

Jamie Vardy fits his requirements very well, facing David Silva, Christian Eriksen, Antoine Griezmann and Eden Hazard, the striker is responsible for shooting!

Dzeko can only admit himself unlucky after seeing Vardy's performances in both games, but he also thinks he still has a chance.

This is just the start of the first league game, and maybe if Vardy doesn't perform well one day, Dzeko can be in the position at any time!

In Gao Bo's regular formation, 433 only needs one striker, but what if the formation is changed to 442?

It's not impossible, at Atletico Madrid, Gao Bo often switches between 433 and 442.

Dzeko was not discouraged.

And, of course, there's also a striker, Balotelli, who is now considered to have little chance left by the Manchester City players.

As soon as he came to offend the head coach, and then fell into passivity in the competition for strikers for the first time, everyone else has a two-game rally, but he only has one game, and the opponent in this game is still as strong.

This is the powerhouse of the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg!

Manchester City's players all felt that Balotelli was going to be deflated at this moment, but no one sympathized with him.

This is a guy with a bad brain, and not many people like him at Manchester City.

In other words, not many people who have been teammates with him like him.

If it was a three- or four-year-old child, people would have tolerated it, but Balotelli was a twenty-two-year-old adult.

Of course, Balotelli's ability is very good, so some players in Manchester City still regret that Balotelli went to the reserve team to report at the beginning of the league.

However, in this match against Wolfsburg, Balotelli actually broke out...... And it's a particularly explosive kind.

In the 83rd minute of the game, Eriksen took a long-range shot, the ball bounced off the crossbar, and was kicked back into the goal by Balotelli.

Balotelli staged a senior.

And his goal didn't stop there, in the 91st minute of the game, a corner kick in Manchester City, Balotelli grabbed the point and put the ball into the goal!

The Italian striker scored five yuan alone, and the score became five to zero!

What started as a friendly match turned into a friendly match......

Even Gao Bo was a little dumbfounded when he saw such a scene.

This guy .... It's really a nerve knife..

"Are you really going to start his first league game?"

Moya doesn't look too good, after all, the coaching staff's planned starter is Jamie Vardy, and recent training has been moving closer to that.

Gao Bo was also a little hesitant, but he quickly made a decision.

"Starters! Let this guy start!! ”

Gao Bo gritted his teeth and said.

After all.... What he says himself, he does what he says.
