Super Marshal

"Arsenal's clearance didn't go far and the ball was still at Manchester City's feet."

"Pass to the right, Sturridge has no chance, pass back."

"Modric takes the ball, brings it to the center, and passes it to the frontcourt."

"Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly appeared in the middle and there was no one around him to defend him."

"Oh my God, I stopped the ball, turned around and rushed forward. Cristiano Ronaldo drove the ball towards the penalty area and suddenly hit the goal..."

“The ball went in!!!!”

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo scored the second goal of the game."

"This is also his sixth goal this season. He has scored six goals in five games. Cristiano Ronaldo's condition seems very hot, and he himself looks very excited."

"Let's look at the slow-motion replay of this goal."

"Modric dribbled the ball from the right side and cut inside laterally. No Arsenal player got close immediately, and Modric's direct pass was very beautiful."

"We saw Benzema suddenly run to the left, and Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the top of the arc in front of the penalty area. The two formed a very interesting change of positions, and at the same time it opened up Arsenal's Defensive players.”

"It was just this one-second gap that allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to get the chance to catch the ball at the front of the penalty area. Then he turned around and dribbled the ball in. Clichy, Gallas and Alexander Songdu returned to defend. He swooped over at the first moment, but couldn't stop the Portuguese from hitting the goal."

"Almunia failed to stop it this time. The ball bounced in front of the goal. The Spanish goalkeeper was unable to stop it and could only watch the ball go into the net."

"At the end of the first half, Manchester City scored another victory, 3-0."

"Oh my god, Arsenal were completely defeated in the last 20 minutes of the first half."

"Manchester City played the most exciting 45 minutes of the season, allowing us to see what everyone expected to see from Gao Han and the offensive team he coaches."

…………

The entire city stadium was as excited as a vast ocean, and countless fans were wildly celebrating the team's successive goals.

The start of this game was not smooth for Manchester City, even a little passive, but the team quickly showed its strength and in turn suppressed Manchester City and firmly controlled the situation on the field.

The successive goals made the Manchester City fans at the scene roar with excitement, and everyone was inexplicably excited.

When they saw superstar Cristiano Ronaldo rushing to the sidelines to celebrate, they all shouted his name. And when they saw the players celebrating, they walked to the home team's coaching bench and high-fived head coach Gao Han. In celebration, when Cristiano Ronaldo hugged Gao Han tightly, the whole audience shouted the name of the coach loudly.

The cold voice swept through the entire city stadium like a tide.

This scene made Mansour, the chairman of the Abu Dhabi Consortium, who was sitting in the stands and came all the way from the Middle East to London just to watch the game live, extremely excited, because he had been waiting for this scene to appear.

He hopes that all Manchester City fans can continue to love his team as much as before.

But we never saw anything like this last season.

“He’s such an incredible guy,” Mansour marveled.

Although it only lasted twenty minutes, the football played by Manchester City was extremely exciting.

They firmly controlled the ball, suppressed Arsenal, and forced this traditional giant of the Premier League to play in the half court, leaving the Gunners without the ability to even parry, let alone the Premier League, even in Europe, and How many teams can do that?

What's more, Gao Han's team has just been reorganized not long ago, and it can be said that head coach Gao Han is indispensable for being able to form combat effectiveness so quickly. This also makes Mansour more convinced of his original choice.

Sitting next to Mansour, general manager Paul Futrey was undoubtedly the happiest.

He is well aware of his status in Manchester City, and he even understands why Mansour has such high hopes for himself.

The better Gao Han does at Manchester City, the more unbreakable his status as general manager will be.

"Mr. Mansour, as far as I know, Gao Han's team is far from being adjusted to its best condition."

"Oh?" Mansour was full of surprise.

"Kaka's injury seriously disrupted Gao Han's plan. Originally, I told him that the management could support him in introducing a suitable substitute." Paul Futre said with a smile.

Mansour nodded. If Gao Han felt the need, he could do so.

"But Gao Han told me that he has spent more than 400 million euros. He has coached many teams in European football. In recent years, he has never spent so much money as he did this summer. He himself feels a little soft. "

After Paul Futrey finished speaking, he laughed.

Mansour and Mubarak couldn't help but feel funny after hearing this.

These are indeed Gao Han's original words, and they are also true words. He said them when joking with Paul Futrey.

But it’s not surprising if you think about it. Gao Han has always been known for being good at discovering and cultivating young players. He spent a lot of money on reorganization at Chelsea, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, but the investment was only about 100 million at most, but this At one time, more than 400 million were spent to introduce several superstar players.

Not to mention the high cold, when Paul Futrey signed the contract, his hand holding the pen was trembling.

"Also because he knew that he had spent so much money and needed to give results, he did not dare to bring up signings. He hoped to optimize the team's existing lineup, so he has the lineup we see now. If this is the ideal lineup in his mind, it should be a three-four-three formation with a midfield diamond position."

"Is there any difference?" Mansour asked with interest.

"The three-four-three formation was the main formation of the Dutch team that was fully offensive and defensive during the era of Michels and Cruyff. The entire front, middle and back lines are very close. It can be said that they are integrated into each other. Through the rotation of players, Movement and cross-positioning are used to achieve the integration of offense and defense, and then exert great lethality on both offense and defense."

"That's the strongest formation?" Mansour asked excitedly.

Paul Futre shook his head, "There is no such thing as a strong formation, nor is it perfect, but since Cruyff achieved it once in Barcelona in the early 1990s, in the past ten years, there has been no such thing in European football. Other teams can recreate this formation, which Rijkaard tried and failed at Barcelona before."

After listening to this, Mansour had an unknown feeling.

"When Kaká returns, I believe you will see a stronger and better Manchester City team than now."

Paul Futre's words made Mansour nod his head.

"Okay, then from now on, I will definitely come to watch every home game played by Manchester City."

…………

…………

The first half ended with Manchester City temporarily leading 3-0.

Arsenal's players seemed to feel a little relieved. The referee's whistle saved them. Otherwise, based on their performance in the last ten minutes, Manchester City might have scored another goal at any time and at any time.

The situation on the field, the rhythm of the game and the possession of the ball were all controlled by Manchester City, and they were unable to resist at all.

But the halftime break is their best chance to breathe.

Gao Han highly praised the players' outstanding performance in the last period during the halftime break. He hoped that everyone could keep up their efforts and maintain the rhythm and game style of the first half. But at the same time, he also reminded the players that Arsenal will definitely make Adjustment.

“We didn’t connect well enough offensively.”

"Javier." Gao Han pointed at Mascherano, "In the second half, you have to pay attention and press forward more actively. Don't worry about what is behind you. You have to remember that behind you, there is Xavi Alonso, and Your other teammates, they will protect you."

Mascherano nodded as he was taught. Gao Han had already arranged these words before the game, but during the game, he still couldn't let go, especially as a defensive player's instinct made him a little cautious about forward attacks.

"Also, Benzema, I need you to retreat more, or pull to the wing more, and pull their two central defenders away as much as possible. If they don't move away, then you attack after receiving the ball. Understand?"

While Gao Han only made tactical adjustments during the halftime break, Arsenal's head coach Wenger made a substitution during the halftime break, replacing Denilson with Rosicky, and Arsenal's formation also changed in the second half. Four three three formation.

The three midfielders composed of Alexander Song, Cesc Fabregas and Diaby are also very strong.

When Gao Han saw this, he shook his head and sighed, "The second half was not easy to play."

Sure enough, after changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Arsenal began to consciously focus on the defense of the midfield, using the three midfielders to put pressure on Manchester City, while the front trident actively pressed Manchester City's three defenders, with Rosicky and Robin van Persie separated. Two wings.

Facts have proved that Arsenal is indeed more adaptable to the 433 formation. At least with the current set of personnel, it is obviously more comfortable to play 433. This allowed them to compete evenly with Manchester City in the second half and wash away the decline in the first half. .

When the game lasted for 63 minutes, Fabregas seized the opportunity to counterattack in the middle, passed the ball diagonally from the middle, and sent the ball to the left side of the goal. Rosicky stepped in and calmly scored with a low shot in the small penalty area. Get a goal back for Arsenal.

This goal ignited the Gunners' anger, especially as the game progressed. Many Manchester City players participated in the two national team games in September. After traveling back and forth, their physical fitness was a little weak, which allowed the Gunners to start to regain the situation. .

Gao Han also made decisive adjustments, maintaining the situation on the court through substitutions and adopting a more pragmatic game strategy.

Until the 78th minute, Arsenal attacked into the heart of Manchester City. After Javi Martinez intercepted the ball, he launched a counterattack on the spot and sent the ball behind the Manchester City defense with a long pass.

Benzema came in at high speed in the middle. After getting the ball, he dribbled for nearly 30 meters. After getting rid of Vermaelen, he passed the ball to the back post. Sturridge quickly followed up and faced the attacking goalkeeper Almunia. Calmly tipped the ball into the goal, four to one.

This goal was a huge blow to Arsenal, especially because it made them clearly realize that Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of last season.

Today's Blue Moon not only has the world's number one head coach Gao Han, but also has a group of outstanding European and even world-class superstars. Now, they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League and even European football.

They are no longer the soft persimmons they used to be.

Today, Manchester City knows that it has the strength to smash Arsenal's defense into a sieve and suppress the Gunners in the half-court.

And this game is their most powerful proof!
