This news quickly spread all over the world overnight, causing great discussion.
As in the past, there is still great controversy.
The media and fans on Gao Shen's side believe that almost all the flags Gao Shen set in the past three years have become a reality, and all those who doubted him at the beginning have turned into jokes in the end. I believe it will be the same this time.
"As he said at the press conference, he has been accompanied by doubts and controversies along the way. He has never been afraid of any challenges. On the contrary, he very much enjoys the kind of success in doubts and controversies, making all doubters
Everyone was speechless with the sense of accomplishment.”
Those who support Gao Shen believe that Manchester City has invested more than 200 million euros, which is really a huge amount of money. With Gao Shen's coaching ability, it is completely possible to build a team with amazing strength.
"Just think of what he achieved in Naples!"
"In Serie A and Naples, without much money, he was able to cultivate young players and bring Naples to the legendary position of Serie A Triple Crown. But what about in the Premier League and Manchester City? With uncapped players,
After the transfer budget, what else can't he do?"
Manchester City fans are undoubtedly the most excited, because in the history of this team, they have never won a Premier League championship.
The last time we won the top league championship was forty-one years ago.
In fact, it has been more than thirty years since we last won a cup championship.
It can be said that Manchester City has always been a team with no sense of presence in the Premier League, especially in the context of its rivals Manchester United.
What do the Red Devils and Manchester United call Manchester City?
Noisy neighbors!
Listen, how contemptuous, how contemptuous, how dismissive, how condescending!
After Thaksin took over the team, everyone in Manchester City felt hope. However, three years later, neither Thaksin nor the Abu Dhabi consortium has brought about a subversive change in Manchester City's situation.
But now, Gao Shen is here!
With his Serie A triple crown and the halo of his two Champions League titles, he arrived at the Intihad Stadium.
As the most popular head coach in world football today, the arrival of Gao Shen has focused all the eyes of the world on Manchester City and rekindled the hope of all Manchester City fans.
He will definitely succeed!
Because he has never disappointed anyone!
…
It is normal to have doubts when there is support.
Even in many major newspapers, you can see the different opinions of both sides at the same time.
People who oppose Gao Shen generally believe that money cannot bring champions and mercenaries have no future.
Their basis is not new, that is, last season, the Abu Dhabi consortium invested more than 150 million euros in Manchester City. What was the result?
Blue Moon is only ranked tenth!
"With 250 million euros invested this year, which is 100 million more, Manchester City should be ranked seventh or fifth."
But it is very difficult to break into the top four in the league, and it is simply impossible to win the championship.
"Many people only remember Mourinho's championship win in his first season in the Premier League, but they forget that before Mourinho, Ranieri had coached Chelsea for many years and was acquired by Abramovich.
Before, this team was firmly at the top of the Premier League, can this be compared to Manchester City?"
"When Abramovich took over Chelsea, what level of players did he bring in?"
"In the summer of 2003, world-class center Crespo, world-class midfielder Mark Lailai, top Premier League winger Duff, world-class midfielder Veron, top Serie A forward Mutu, as well as Parker, Bridge, and Geremi
, Joe Cole and a group of powerful stars."
"In the summer of 2004, after Mourinho took over at Stamford Bridge, he introduced the Champions League champions Carvalho and Ferreira, and introduced outstanding players such as Drogba, Thiago, Cech and Kežman.
Star."
"Looking at Manchester City now, both Rakitic and David Luiz were brought in through deep connections. Felipe is in the Champions League, but he couldn't play in Real Madrid and went to Deportivo La Coruna.
Also in the same situation is Robben, who was kicked out by Real Madrid and has long lost his courage..."
"With this lineup, do Manchester City want to win the Premier League?"
"We really don't know whether Gao Shen is too optimistic? Or the world is too absurd!"
"Perhaps Gao Shen's past coaching was too smooth."
"From Real Madrid to Naples, everything has been smooth sailing for him, so he started to feel a little self-righteous and always felt that he could do everything he wanted to do. But in the new season, the cruel competition will tell him, sorry, this is the Premier League!
"
…
As the head coach of Manchester United, Ferguson also rarely accepted interviews with media reporters.
The reporter also "coincidentally" asked Gao Shen about wanting to lead Manchester City to win the championship. Ferguson laughed and said that he was very happy to see Gao Shen come to the Premier League.
"I have told him about this before. I think he should come to the Premier League and give it a try, because this is the most competitive league in the world. Every game he coaches here is thrilling."
Later, Ferguson changed the subject and reminded Gao Shen that after coming to the Premier League, he must forget his past achievements and start everything over again.
"If you include the time I played football, I have been working in professional football for decades. I have experienced a lot and seen a lot. Gao Shen is the most special young man I have ever seen. If he is a player
If so, I think I would buy him without hesitation, but unfortunately, he is a head coach and is destined to be my opponent."
Ferguson explained his previous accusations against Manchester City. He believed that the current transfer market atmosphere is not good. Many teams are focusing on buying top players. At the same time, too many teams are hysterically recruiting people in order to improve their strength. This is not true.
normal.
"When I talk to agents now about a certain player, they will tell me that Manchester City is also in contact with them and promises to give them a certain price, so as to get more generous terms from us.
But I can’t help it.”
"I want to say that this is abnormal. Teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid invested two to three billion euros in one summer. This is simply crazy."
"I have never believed that such crazy buying can lead to a championship, because in the past few decades, there have been teams with such big signings every season, but only a handful of them have succeeded in the end.
.”
"Whether it is as a personal friend or as the manager of Manchester United, I have to congratulate our neighbors for inviting a world-class manager. Gao Shen is one of the best managers in world football today.
"
"But I also want to remind Manchester City and my friend Gao Shen that championships can never be bought with money, especially in the Premier League, the most difficult league in the world. If they want to win the championship, they can only rely on spending money.
far from enough."
…
Ferguson's appearance started to stir up the tension between the rivals in the same city, Manchester City and Manchester United, and also kicked off the competition between Gao Shen and Ferguson, two world-class coaches.
Especially immediately after the Premier League schedule was announced, everyone discovered that Manchester City's schedule was very bad.
The first game of the league is against the violent team Blackburn Rovers, followed by Everton.
In the fifth round, they faced Arsenal at home and in the sixth round, they challenged Manchester United away.
This year's Manchester derby comes a little early!
But don't think that someone is deliberately trying to mess with Manchester City. It's not true, because Manchester United's schedule is also very stressful.
The fourth round is against Arsenal at home, the fifth round is against Tottenham Hotspur away, and the sixth round is against Manchester City at home. There are two weeks of national team games between the fourth and fifth rounds.
It can be said that from the schedule, everyone is almost the same.
If you really want to blame it, you can only blame the competition in the Premier League for being too fierce!
As a characteristic of the Premier League, this season has encountered the World Cup in South Africa, and the schedules of leagues in various countries have to be compressed, so the Premier League's schedule around Christmas is also very stressful.
There will be a double match a week before Christmas. After Christmas, there will be two rounds of league matches on the 26th, 28th and 29th. The third round of the FA Cup will be on January 2nd, and then the Premier League will be played immediately.
Judging from the schedule, this schedule is still very compact.
If something goes wrong accidentally during the period before and after Christmas, the problem will be serious, because several consecutive rounds of league games will be together, and the possibility of losing points continuously will be very high.
Unfortunately, Gao Shen and his team have no experience with the Christmas schedule.
The Times wrote a special article analyzing this issue.
The team coached by Gao Shen has always been famous for its passing and cutting cooperation, astonishing running ability, and high-position pressing. This proves that the team itself consumes a lot of money.
In addition, the consumption of the Premier League itself is greater than that of Serie A and La Liga, and the intensity of the schedule is not comparable to that of La Liga and Serie A. At least they have winter breaks, while the Premier League does not.
Therefore, the Times believes that it is very difficult for Gao Shen to win the Premier League championship in his first season. This cannot be achieved purely by buying people.
"He must have a clear understanding of the difficulty of the Premier League!"
But the Times also believes that Gao Shen has always been known for his unexpectedness, and as a young man, he is always embracing advanced technology. “It is said that after he coached Manchester City, he immediately renovated the team’s restaurant, specially imported from Italy.
We have hired the most professional nutritionists to stay on the team and customize recipes for the players.”
"Not only that, he also hired medical expert Marcos Sala from the Milan laboratory to take full charge of Manchester City's medical team, plus a sports psychology expert from Italy."
"It's clear that Gao Shen is completely transforming Manchester City from top to bottom."
In Real Madrid, Gao Shen was just a head coach; in Naples, he was given the power to form his own team, but limited by the club's finances, he was unable to get more free space to play.
Now, in Manchester City, he is transforming the entire Manchester City team from the inside out, completely building this team into a team that belongs to him!
"He's doing what Ferguson did at Manchester United!"
"Whether it is successful or not, it will take time to test!"
…
When the whole of Europe, and even the world, was focusing on Gao Shen and the Premier League, in a small valley town a hundred kilometers east of Lyon, France, a young player ran along a winding and rugged mountain road to the top of the mountain, overlooking the mountains.
The undulating mountains were panting like an ox, but they couldn't suppress the anger in their chests.
"I want to succeed! I must succeed!"
But the only thing that responded to him was the empty echo in the mountains.
