Chapter 627 is just one o'clock

At this point, Gobo didn't know how serious it was for him to put Balotelli in the starting lineup.... Blunder.

In fact, Gao Bo thought he was well prepared before the fight, and he spoke to Balotelli alone before the start of the fight.

"Listen, Mario! I can't change you, but I will do what I say! You are my starting striker in this game, I hope you can cherish this opportunity, you are very talented, but there are too many talented players in this world, so I don't care if you can cherish your talent, but as long as you play, you have to play well for me, don't have too much physical contact with the opponent, if you lose the ball, don't be angry, don't have any excesses, if someone provokes you, don't have any reaction, even if the referee makes a wrong decision, don't react! ”

Gao Bo, who was standing next to the coach's box, recalled the advice he had given to Balotelli before the game, and he was really bitter.

At this time, Balotelli, who stepped on the ball in the center circle, was expressionless, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Southampton manager Nigel Atkins has his eye on Balotelli.

If Southampton have any chance of winning on the road, the key point is Balotelli, who was already staring at Balotelli's name when they got City's starting line-up.

On the football field, there are some methods that have nothing to do with technique and tactics.......

Southampton's centre-back Fonte is also eyeing Balotelli.

All he had in mind was what manager Atkins had said before the game: "Man City are a very strong opponent and our only chance to win away from home is with Balotelli, I don't care what you do to provoke him!" Let him get emotionally out of control!! ”

Wundt remembered some of Balotelli's previous "funny facts", he knew that this is a striker who is easy to provoke emotions, as a central defender, how to provoke the emotions of a striker, although this is not Wundt's best side, but he must know how to do it.

.........

Balotelli didn't know he was being targeted, and he felt good about himself.

Tevez and Gomes are gone, Dzeko didn't perform well last season, Vardy has struggled in the Premier League these seasons, and in Balotelli's opinion, this is a great opportunity for him to regain his starting line-up!

That's right, when Balotelli's brain wasn't hot, he was quite normal.

Only by sitting firmly in the starter, can you have the capital to show off, and.... Money is a good thing, if you sit on the bench for another season, I am afraid that next season I will be sold by Manchester City, and then I will be forced to accept a pay cut, maybe to a small team.

Just as every bad boy always thinks about the prodigal son when he first starts, that's what Balotelli thinks at this time.

When the referee's whistle blew, Balotelli kicked the ball to David Silva!

The competition has officially begun!!

Manchester City's attack is not tentative at all!

David Silva passes the ball to Casemiro, who then passes it to Eriksen's feet!

Eriksen's pinpoint long ball found Hazard!!

"Hazard!! Ligue 1's best player touching the ball for the first time in the Premier League!! ”

Rentkinson applauded Hazard's brilliant stop!

Then Hazard's performance made the fans cheer loudly!

He got past a defender in quick stops, then paused against Southampton's defenders, took advantage of the tempo time difference to cut inside with ease, and then shot from the edge of the box line!

The soccer ball flies towards the goal on the turf!

Southampton's goalkeeper Cole Davies fell to the ground to save and made a thrilling save off the line!

The Manchester City fans sighed with regret at first, and then immediately applauded!

'As soon as the game started, City gave Southampton a dismissal, and Eden Hazard's incisive shot gave Davies an embarrassing save!!'

Gao Bo also stood up and applauded after seeing Hazard's performance this time.

He applauded and said to his assistant Moya: "See, with such two sides, we are not afraid of the fast pace of the Premier League at all!" ”

Moya is also nodding, the coaching staff has simplified the team's tactics, more emphasis on the rapid rush on both sides, for this, Moya, who has more than ten years of experience in La Liga, is a little skeptical, but Gao Bo knows more about English football than him.

Here, a simple and fast style of football is in vogue, and the loose penalty scale encourages physical confrontation.

Therefore, Gao Bo asked his players to speed up the pass and tear apart the opponent's defense with quick passes. It's a tactical tweak to suit the Premier League.

With many players having no Premier League experience, City's main goal in the first half of the season was to ensure results while allowing new recruits to adapt to the pace of the Premier League as quickly as possible, while the team also began to arrange more complex tactical training.

The coaching staff's work at Manchester City is well underway.

However, things always have some surprises.

David Silva drove a corner and the ball was snatched by Vincent Kompany, and the City centre-back headed just over the crossbar.

City's two strikes created a big threat.

It looks like Southampton are going to have a tough time coming out of the road.

And when the televised replay was just Manchester City's attack, there were loud boos in the stands.

When the TV cut back, Balotelli spread his hands while the referee across from him pulled out a .... Red!

After that, the camera explained what happened in the penalty area.

When City's corner was over, Balotelli appeared to have had a verbal altercation with Font.

The two chattered for a while, and then Balotelli suddenly lost control of his emotions and reached out to Font........

And this time it did not escape the eyes of the referee.

Red!

Not negotiable!

The TV camera gave Gao Bo.

Gao Bo opened his mouth, what else could he say?

Who would have thought that less than two minutes after Balotelli came on the pitch, he applied for a red card himself.

This is not something that is in the plan of Gao Bo at all!

And where Gao Bo didn't see it, Wundt and Southampton's manager Atkins looked at each other.

There was a smug look in the eyes of the two, but they were not discovered by others, and their plot succeeded.

Balotelli is just a pile of dry firewood, just a little bit!

......

"I could even write a two-hundred-page book about me and Balotelli at Manchester City, but it won't be a drama, it's a comedy.......

Years later, when Gao Bo wrote about Balotelli in his memoirs, he wrote this.
