Six Hundred and Fourteenth Gao Shen's Number One Competitor

The Premier League is completely messed up!

If there were people who didn't want to believe it before, now they have to admit this fact.

The first day of the thirteenth round of the Premier League proved this again.

Liverpool lost 0-2 at home to Manchester City.

Although the high-level team did not continue the previous offensive storm, they still firmly suppressed Liverpool at the Anfield Stadium, took advantage of the game, and defeated their opponents 2-0 and retreated from Anfield.

Even Liverpool's former star, Alan Hansen, the guest of honor, said frankly on the show: "Manchester City tonight deserves these three points, and they performed even better."

But Alan Hansen is still defending Benitez and his Liverpool side, arguing that there is nothing wrong with set-piece defence.

He seems to have seen in advance that tomorrow's major media will criticize Benitez's set-piece defensive tactics.

The biggest upset of this round is Arsenal's 0-1 loss to the black cat Sunderland.

The Black Cats, managed by former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes, beat Arsenal 1-0 at home with Wright Phillips assisting Darren Bent's goal.

This upset can be said to make people see the current Premier League situation clearly, Arsenal is really a little weak.

Of course, this is not without reason.

The main reason is the national team competition, the Gunners have too many international players.

Just after the loss to Sunderland, Wenger bombarded FIFA's schedule, believing that September, October and November, half of each month, would require players to be transferred to the national team. Very serious damage to the professional league.

Everyone can see that Wenger is angry now, who made the Gunners perform poorly?

The reason for this is that Arsenal's bench is not thick enough.

Another eye-popping game is that Tottenham Hotspur rout Wigan Athletic 9-1 at home, Duff staged the fifth son Denko by himself, helping Tottenham rout the opponent.

Roberto Martinez suffered another humiliating defeat.

It can be said that after the first day of the game, the entire Premier League felt the change.

Especially the big melee of the first few strong teams.

This is almost unprecedented in the history of the Premier League.

...

"Gao Shen completely messed up the Premier League!"

At Chelsea's Cobham training base in south London, assistant coach Wilkins made his own judgment on the current Premier League situation. He believed that the culprit behind the chaos in the Premier League was Gao Shen.

"Manchester City's investment is really amazing, but if the head coach is not advanced, it would be difficult to achieve such an amazing effect with any other head coach, and a 13-game winning streak!"

When it came to this, Wilkins was full of amazement, and even faintly feared.

Manchester City have really been on a tear this season.

It’s not that I haven’t encountered troubles, I haven’t encountered challenges, and I haven’t experienced ups and downs, but Gao Shen always has a solution.

Either rely on his technical and tactical level, or rely on the thickness of Manchester City's bench, anyway, always win.

"The situation in the Premier League is now in a mess, Manchester City are the best, but only six points ahead, we and Liverpool are close behind, Manchester United and Arsenal are on the same point for the time being, and then there is Totner. Hotspur."

Everton, who had been placed on high hopes, actually failed to pose a threat to the top four. Aston Villa is currently three points behind Tottenham. There is a chance, but the possibility is not very big.

Judging from the current situation, the teams most capable of competing for the top four are the teams currently ranked in the top six.

six teams,

To grab four places, one can imagine how fierce the competition is.

In the past, such a situation was difficult to see, because the top four have always been the ban of the Premier League Big4.

This season, the rise of Tottenham Hotspur has been expected as early as everyone expects, and even to some extent, Redknapp's team is not in the eyes of others, because they still have obvious short board.

But Manchester City is different.

Under the control of Gao Shen, this newly restructured team staged a drama that was the peak of its debut, and immediately seized the leading position in the Premier League standings.

This is equivalent to saying: I won the championship, you can grab the rest!

The other teams below all hated their teeth, but their skills were inferior, and they could only scramble for the other three positions.

If other head coaches were changed, especially those like Mark Hughes, it would not arouse the Big 4's fear at all, because his level is there, and no matter how much money Manchester City spends, it can't change the status quo.

But Gao Shen not only reorganized Manchester City's lineup, but also reshaped Manchester City's genes.

"You said, will Wenger keep his hand in the fourteenth round?" Ancelotti suddenly asked.

Although the thirteenth round has not yet been played, Ancelotti did not take the home game against Wolves in his eyes. He has to make these three points. The real trouble is the Champions League in midweek.

Chelsea are currently unbeaten in the group stage with three wins and one draw, but their rivals are Porto in the Portuguese Super League. They have three wins and one loss. The fifth round of the group will be held in midweek, and Chelsea will play Porto away.

This will be the crucial battle to decide the top spot in the group.

Chelsea will welcome Arsenal after Porto.

Next Wednesday, the fifth round of the League Cup, Chelsea against Blackburn, Arsenal away to Manchester City.

In the Premier League this season, there is basically no hope for Arsenal. Even if they line up, they may not be able to line up.

From now on, the most champion is Manchester City, followed by Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United have opportunities, of which Manchester United rely most on Ferguson's consistent strong record after the winter break.

From the perspective of winning the championship, it is also an option to stay in the league and fully compete for the League Cup.

But Wilkins shook his head with certainty.

"Over the years, Arsenal's record in the second half has always been worse than the first half. If Wenger wants to compete for the top four, he must concentrate all his energy on playing the league, and may even give up the Champions League."

Ancelotti pondered a little and understood.

After all, the Premier League rankings are more valuable.

On the one hand, a part of the Premier League broadcast fee is given according to the ranking, and the other reason is to participate in the Champions League next season.

In contrast, the League Cup is a tasteless rib.

This means that Arsenal will definitely fight Chelsea, but they may give Gao Shen water in the League Cup.

"This kid is really lucky, even Wenger helped him!" Ancelotti sneered.

He still remembered that the last time he asked Gao Shen to play poker, this guy slipped ahead of schedule and gave him no face at all.

For Chelsea, this fixture is still very stressful.

After thinking about it, Ancelotti felt that he still couldn't be cheap.

...

On the second match day of the thirteenth round of the Premier League, Chelsea beat Wolves 4-0 with Essien's brace.

At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said in an interview with the media that Manchester City, which has won 13 consecutive victories, has changed the pattern of the top four in the Premier League.

"I've known Gao Shen for many years, he's always been a very good coach, and I believe he can do it."

"His team is very good and is getting better and better, so I think Manchester City have become one of the strongest teams in the Premier League this season, they can rush to the top four and even compete for the title."

"Yes, Manchester City are in the top four, and there will definitely be teams that will be replaced, it could be Manchester United, it could be Arsenal, because they are the two teams in the lowest form right now."

Ancelotti's remarks quickly aroused Wenger's anger.

The Gunners coach publicly choked Ancelotti at the pre-match press conference in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.

"Some people have just arrived in the Premier League and they may not be familiar with the Premier League, where the league runs from August to May, and it's only now December."

Wenger said, "It's too early to talk about who can win the championship and who can keep the top four."

Subsequently, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea beat Porto 1-0 away, and Arsenal defeated Standard Liege 2-0 at home.

But in the 14th round of the Premier League at the weekend, Chelsea scored a crucial 3-0 away victory over Arsenal with Drogba's brace.

This battle can be said to have completely exposed Arsenal's weakness, and also proved to everyone that Ancelotti's Chelsea is getting better, and one of the most important reasons is Joe Cole.

In Ancelotti's four-four-two diamond position, Joe Cole played the role of dribbling and advancing, which made Chelsea's entire midfield more reasonable and the ball advancing more smoothly.

The powerful and sturdy midfield, after Joe Cole injected finesse and creativity, immediately played a powerful attack.

Among Chelsea's three goals, Joe Cole contributed two assists and was also the best player in the game.

This also led many media to say that Ancelotti's 442 has been completed.

However, some media pointed out that Ancelotti's tactical play is very similar to the tactical play of the four-four-two diamond-shaped stance used at the beginning of the season. effect.

Ancelotti denied that he learned from the high body, but revealed that Chelsea are now in a very good stage.

"I think we are ready," Ancelotti said defiantly.

Whoever it is, will be full of confidence in their team after a 3-0 victory over Arsenal.

The sophisticated Manchester City defeated Hull City 2-0 in the 14th round and won 14 consecutive victories.

After winning eight, nine and thirteen consecutive months of the month, the high-level team entered November with a dip in form.

After Tottenham's 9-1 rout of Wigan Athletic, many believed that Redknapp would replace Gao Shen as the favorite for November's coach of the month.

Unexpectedly, in the fourteenth round, Tottenham drew a one-to-one draw with Aston Villa.

This suddenly increased the suspense again.

Gao Shen still won four consecutive victories in November, Chelsea only played three games, and Ancelotti won three consecutive victories, replacing Redknapp as Gao Shen's number one competitor.

And once Gaoshen wins the best of the month again, it will achieve an unprecedented Silianzhuang.

He and his Manchester City will become even more powerful!
