Chapter 791 Only the Anger of the Victor Will Be Heard
? Manchester City's first few games this season are not too strong opponents for Manchester City.
Therefore, although there are many media praises for Manchester City's consecutive victories, there are of course mavericks here.
Some media believe that for Manchester City, the current results do not explain anything.
Just look at their opponents since the start of the season.
The Premier League has started four rounds. The opponents are Newcastle, Cardiff City, Hull City, and Stoke City. They are all teams in the middle and lower reaches, and even the relegation zone.
The Champions League opponent Pearson, and even the European Super Cup opponent Benfica, are not too strong teams.
"In the first game of the season, the Community Shield game may have real reference value. Manchester City's opponent in that game was Manchester United. Although Manchester City finally won the Community Shield game, they ended up playing against Manchester United. It became a draw, and then it was a penalty shootout to finally win the title! Manchester City did not continue their strength against the strong teams last season, and won a few weak teams in the previous rounds, and it does not explain any problems!"
Suddenly, Manchester City, which has won five consecutive games in all competitions since the start of the game, seems to have suffered a five-game losing streak.
The media started talking about City's ability to play against strong teams.
The draw in the Community Shield has been constantly hyped up.
The media's wind direction changed overnight.
So much so that when Gao Bo got up the next day, he saw the news and thought his team had collapsed and was in danger.
"The disease of mange!" Gao Bo threw the newspaper on the table, then went to wash and prepare for a day of training.
This is the second day after they came back from the Czech Republic. The team took a day off, and then immediately began to prepare for the game.
Gao Bo is also an experienced coach. He naturally knows that the news about Manchester City that appears so intensively at this moment is related to the team's next game.
Manchester City's next game is at home against Manchester United on September 22!
The focus of the fifth round of the Premier League!
For both teams that participated in the midweek Champions League,
This game is not good.
However, relatively speaking, Manchester City is going to play away games in Eastern Europe, while Manchester United is at home against Bayer Leverkusen. Although Manchester United's opponents are stronger, Manchester United is free from the fatigue of long-distance travel.
Therefore, in this Manchester derby, even if Manchester City is playing at home, it is generally believed that Manchester United is waiting for work.
And the media that has been frequently hyped recently is naturally also directed at this game.
At the pre-match press conference, Gao Bo was asked about Manchester City's "face with a strong team".
The media is like this, if there is no "problem", it will often create problems for you.
And Gao Bo's answer was also very straightforward: "No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, we are all based on me and play the football we want."
At the press conference on Guardiola's side, no reporters asked him this question.
Because this issue has little to do with Manchester United, in fact, Manchester United is also in a mess right now.
After four rounds, Manchester United only got seven points!
A full five points behind Manchester City.
With such a point gap, if this game is lost again, it will be eight points behind in just five rounds of the league!
What this result means is believed to be very clear to most people.
"Even though it's only the fifth round of the game, it's an incredibly crucial game for Manchester United and we have to fight to win the game to make the start of the season feel better, and if we lose This game, the consequences are unbearable for us!" Guardiola said when facing the media.
......
For Gao Bo, he is more hopeful that the players can maintain a calm mind to deal with Manchester United.
After all, the consultation is so developed now, and everyone has seen relevant media reports. And such a public opinion environment, the impact on the players is probably ubiquitous.
Maybe some players will feel very unconvinced, which will affect their emotions during the game.
Maybe some players will be pissed off.
With the development of information in modern society, the emotions of players are affected by public opinion, which is very avoidable.
All problems, Gao Bo needs to take into account.
The impact of emotions on the outcome of a football match is obvious. The current media reports are unpredictable for Manchester City. What Gao Bo has to do is to eliminate the influence of public opinion on players’ emotions, so that players can Focus on the game.
In the locker room before the game, the players were discussing it.
"Those paparazzi are hilarious, we've won five games in a row and they say we've lost," Vardy said in the locker room.
"They just rely on these things to be grandstanding!"
"In the game today, we will let them see if we are playing against the so-called strong team as they expected!"
"We must beat Manchester United today and hit those guys hard in the face!!"
Listening to the obviously emotional expressions of the players, Gao Bo frowned.
Then he motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Don't talk about this, it's just boring media hype, you should focus on the game!"
"On the pitch, we need passion, but we need to pay attention that we can't let this torch light ourselves, we can't play football with a sense of anger, we don't play football for the media. , we are for ourselves, for victory!"
"Anyway, we all need to stay calm and think about the way we play, how to move, how to pass, how to shoot, how to score!!"
"Score the first goal, then score the second goal!"
"Don't think about how much we're going to win!"
"We just need to remember, think, how to score the next goal!!"
Gao Bo said in a serious tone.
"I understand everyone's resentment, but if we can't win this game, wouldn't we just let the people's argument stand for this? No matter how angry you are, it won't help."
"Everyone just cheers for the victory and doesn't care about the feelings of the losers. If we want to express our anger, the best way is after the game - before that, the first thing we need to do is win the game. !!"
After Gao Bo finished speaking, the players in the locker room quieted down.
Soon, the players were doing all the preparations before the game in an orderly manner.
And when they are ready.
Gao Bo announced his appearance!
