Chapter 646: There is no one who cannot be missed
Also following this game is Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who is far away in London.
Wenger looked at the young Gao Bo on the TV and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In the next round, the fifth round of the Premier League, Arsenal will challenge Manchester City, who are now in full form, away from home!
However, Wenger found that after watching this game, he was even more bottomless about Manchester City's tactics.
Gobo's Manchester City don't seem to be stuck in a certain style of play, they are very flexible.
Prior to this Champions League game, Manchester City played on both wings, with two capable wide players, and Manchester City's attack was very direct and fast-paced.
At the time, Arsene Wenger thought it would be City's main tactic this season.
However, in the Champions League, Manchester City surprised Arsene Wenger again - maybe not happy, but certainly surprised.
City played quickly and defended quickly and looked very skillful.
Gao Bo's current tactical play seems to be more inclined to move towards more flexible on-the-spot collocation and more targeted tactical deployment.
This is a slow change in the young man's tenure after a few years in charge.
And now Wenger is facing the elusiveness of the opponent, which also adds a little uneasiness to Wenger's heart.
......
After playing Real Madrid's Champions League game, the whole Manchester City team flew back to Manchester overnight.
Four days later, it's time for Arsenal.
After the plane landed, Gao Bo announced that the team would be given a day off so that the players could rest and adjust their condition.
Naturally, this was enthusiastically embraced by the players.
At this time, the media also made key reports about this game.
Most of the media were positive about City's game.
Winning away from home, albeit 1-0, is not easy for Manchester City – last season, they played in the Champions League for the first time since the Abu Dhabi consortium took ownership, and they did not win at all away from home, losing away to Bayern Munich, away to Atletico Madrid and away to Napoli.
With just one point from their three group stage games on the road, City's elimination was a natural fit – they didn't do too well at home, losing to Atletico Madrid, drawing with Bayern Munich, winning against Napoli and picking up just five points from their six group games.
This game was Manchester City's first away win in the Champions League after reaching the Champions League in 2011.
Of course, not all the media are saying good things.
Some media also believe that Gobo's game was an "ugly victory", and Manchester City's thorough defense on the road made the game look not good.
"After the glory of Atletico Madrid, he has become much more conservative than before. At Atletico Madrid, he built a very gorgeous team, but at Manchester City, we saw a team that was based on defense and relied on counter-attacks to win...."
Gao Bo has always been dismissive of similar criticisms.
Because these media don't know, Gao Bo doesn't care about being conservative or offensive, he wants victory.
If a gorgeous football can bring victory, he will choose to be gorgeous, and if conservative football can bring victory, he will be more conservative than anyone else.
However, on the day of the holiday, Yaya Toure's agent jumped up and down, which made Gao Bo feel a little annoyed.
This guy is like a fly, buzzing and flying in front of Gao Bo's eyes, which makes people tired of it.
Immediately after the game, he wrote on social media: "Congratulations to Manchester City for stealing an ugly, ugly victory, without Yaya Toure, Manchester City can only win by this means." ”
In today's networked society, any information travels at the speed of light.
As a result, this message quickly caused an uproar.
Syrouk was Yaya Toure's agent, so it is reasonable to assume that what he said meant meant Yaya Toure.
Just when the media was enthusiastically reprinting, Syruk seemed to be even more excited.
He then continued to post.
"Man City have a cold manager, I think the players at Man City need to understand that, this guy is a tyrant, a suffocating dictator, he is cold-blooded and ruthless, he can give up on anyone at any time!!"
After that, Syruk even said in front of the cameras of media reporters: "I even think that Gao Bo made the decision because of Yaya Toure's skin color!" ”
This guy almost said that Gao Bo was a racist.
When Gao Bo saw the news report, he was already quite annoyed by this disgusting agent.
Before the second day of training, in an interview with the media, Gao Bo publicly said: "I will not allow any players to fight against the coaching staff, therefore, Yaya Toure has been suspended, and if Seruk does not apologize, Yaya Toure will not enter my training ground again!" ”
Gao Bo said angrily, and he said he would do it.
Yaya Toure has been listed as a person who is forbidden to enter the training base, and he was completely abandoned by Gao Bo.
Seruk was a little dumbfounded, he jumped up and down, not for the current situation.
He hoped to make Gao Bo succumb through the pressure of the media, which Cheng thought, and the other party directly flipped the table.
He was wrong about assessing the importance of Yaya Toure to Manchester City, and he was constantly provoking someone who could flip the table directly.
Yaya Toure was in a hurry, and he now felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
The words that Syruk said, although he didn't ask Syruk to say it, must have been with his consent for Syruk to do so.
And now, he can't even enter the training ground, which means that there are still more than two months between September and the opening of the winter transfer window, and he will not be able to train with the team at all, and he can only find a place to train alone, which is not a good thing for him to maintain his form.
Even if you are going to leave in the winter window, you must always maintain a high level of training during this time, if you have not gone through systematic training and competition for more than two months..... When the time comes, I don't know how difficult it will be to regain my form.
"The conflict between Gao Bo and Yaya Toure continues to ferment, and now the relationship between the two sides has completely broken down, and there is no possibility of repair, but is it too cruel to completely exclude Yaya Toure from the team, and even training is not allowed? Moreover, if Yaya Toure is put on for two months like this, I am afraid that the winter transfer window will not sell for too high a price! Moreover, Yaya Toure may also have to accept a salary cut, which is a lose-lose result for both sides."
Sky Sports said in the report.
But is money a big deal for Manchester City?
Manchester City don't care about this little money.
The club's top management immediately stood up for the manager.
"Everything in the team is in charge of Coach Gao Bo, he is in charge of the team in terms of competition!! Whatever decision he makes, it's the club's final decision! ”
CEO Soriano said in an interview with reporters.
Even the club's president, Hosa Mubarak, expressed the same sentiment when speaking to reporters.
For them, as long as Gao Bo can lead the team to achieve results, what is the point of sacrificing a mere Yaya Toure?
And Manchester City's players also saw Gao Bo's status in the team from this incident, and they were also shocked by his tough methods.
Even Yaya Toure's brother Kolo Toure wouldn't talk about it in the dressing room, and Colo Toure was more conscientious in training - he was worried that Gobo would be angry with him because of his brother's affairs.
In short, Gao Bo used a very strong hand to solve the Yaya Toure incident - or Yaya Toure as a person.
At the same time, he was also thinking about the introduction of the winter window.
If Yaya Toure is not used, the winter transfer window will definitely be brought in.
