As Gao Shen issued the death order, the group of scumbags in the Manchester City team began to memorize English as hard as they could.
The English culture classes that were originally scattered are now taken very seriously. Even during halftime and after the afternoon training class, you can see players memorizing vocabulary lists.
At night, some players are still preparing for tomorrow's exam after returning to their homes or hotels.
No one wants to be pushed to the second team by Gao Shen when they first arrive. Wouldn't this put them at a disadvantage in the competition within the team?
If you don’t want to go to the second team, then just memorize English.
Rakitic complained on Twitter: "Can anyone tell me why football players have to take English exams?"
It was followed by a series of tearful expressions.
Not only did Manchester City’s players on Twitter leave messages behind, saying that they felt the same way, but even former teammates at Naples asked with concern what was going on?
"No more, the boss will do a spot check on English recitation tomorrow morning, so I'll withdraw first."
Thinking about those days, if I could work half as hard as I do now when I was studying, would I still be able to play football?
You've already been admitted to college, right?
Many fans and media reporters rushed to Gao Shen's Twitter to leave messages, hoping that he would be merciful to the players.
"As a college student who has taken the exam, I say that English words are always a pain for me."
"Excuse me, if I have a vocabulary of 10,000 words, can I play for your team?"
"A football coach who doesn't force his players to memorize words is definitely not a qualified English teacher."
"Back then, if my middle school teacher was as strict as you, I wouldn't be reduced to carrying bricks on a construction site now."
Gao Shen only saw the message on Twitter the next morning, and he said he was speechless.
But after entering the Carrington training base, he had to say that the atmosphere for learning English in the team was really good. He seemed to have returned to the time when he was sprinting for the college entrance examination in his third year of high school.
When many players arrived at Carrington, the first thing they did was to take out the materials distributed by the English teacher yesterday and review them carefully. They were afraid that they would fail the test later and be kicked out to the second team.
.
In fact, these English contents are some commonly used words and sentences in daily life. They are not that scary to players. It’s just that these scumbags learned it too carelessly before, so it is still a problem now.
If it weren't for this advanced and compulsory requirement, God knows how long they would have to study?
The results of the oral assessment on the first day were beyond the English teacher's expectation, because all students passed.
Who dares to believe it?
Even the English teacher himself was confused.
The result of his month's hard work was not as effective as a profound order.
This is why he can only be an English teacher and not the head coach of Manchester City.
In order to further stimulate the players' motivation, Gao Shen has specially designed various oral competitions, and the rewards are also various. Anyway, as long as the players want, they can be used as rewards to stimulate the players' enthusiasm for learning.
These people in European football have never seen the world, and they are amazed by Gao Shen's endless methods, but only Gao Shen himself knows, what is he? If this is left to China, what is the New West, what is thinking and learning, etc., it is not
How many blocks away is he?
…
In addition to the daily English speaking test, there is also a wave of slang design within the Manchester City team.
To put it simply, players in different positions communicate with each other and design some slang or secret codes that everyone can understand immediately.
For example, David Luiz designed several slang words in one go, all of which were recognized by Xavi Martinez, Cahill and Kompany, including six-nine, after you had sex with me, etc.
.
Well, don't get it wrong, there's no point in driving here.
The so-called six-nine actually means that the opponent's player's face is the twelve o'clock on the clock, and the two players communicate with each other about their defensive positions.
Six is the front, and nine is the side.
Similarly, there are a series of slang words such as six three, three nine, etc., which can quickly make teammates understand their intentions with just a few words or a sentence.
After getting approval from the coaching staff, the Brazilian central defender skipped the training session that day and followed Pintus' long-distance running training. He ran to the side by himself, crossed his legs, drank mineral water, and was there.
Help the coaching staff direct teammates in long-distance running.
That dejected look made Gao Shen a little worried. Will someone break his third leg when he goes back to the locker room later?
…
After staying in Manchester for three days, Manchester City set off for Glasgow to challenge Celtic away from home.
Gao Shen still focused on rotation this time, and Manchester City's overall performance was obviously much better than before.
On the one hand, during these days of rest, the team conducted summary and analysis, and the players gained something. The coaching staff also specifically improved the training programs to address the players' problems to better help the players improve.
On the other hand, the exchanges and communication between players on the court are obviously much better.
But this brought about another trouble, that is, Celtic head coach Tony Mowbray asked Gao Shen after the game whether there was something wrong with Manchester City's players.
"Listen to what my players said, your players are shouting on the court about taking the back road, blowing him up, etc. What's going on?"
Gao Shen could only explain with a wry smile that this is a way of communication between players.
Tony Mowbray was still doubtful, "Then your communication method is quite special."
Yeah?
Maybe.
But at least it's practical.
In Glasgow, Gao Shen used two different tactical lineups in the first and second half, still messing up all the players' arrangements. As a result, Manchester City's performance was still relatively average.
In the end, it was a 1-1 draw with the Celtics on the road.
Gao Shen expressed satisfaction with this result. After all, the Celtics are not a fuel-efficient lamp.
However, the domestic media in the UK still generally speak negatively about Manchester City.
With such poor results in the warm-up matches, how can it be possible to perform well in the new Premier League season?
…
After playing against Celtic, Manchester City quickly returned to Manchester to once again analyze and summarize the warm-up match, especially the various problems that were exposed.
Three days later, the team traveled south to the south of England and challenged Southampton away from home.
Facing this tightly defensive third-tier league team, Gao Shen and his Naples finally let go and knocked on the Saints' goal with indiscriminate bombing.
Four to zero, Manchester City finally won a victory.
More importantly, Manchester City suppressed Southampton for almost the entire game, frequently creating threats and dangers.
The British media are still dissatisfied with this, because the Saints are only a third-tier team and only won four goals. Are you sorry?
…
After playing at Southampton, Gao Shen did not return to Manchester with the team, but stayed in London to watch the Premier League Outpost Community Shield game held at Wembley Stadium.
The two teams participating this year are Manchester United and Chelsea.
This is a very rare opportunity for Gao Shen to inspect his opponent up close.
In the new season, Manchester United can be said to be in crisis.
In terms of opportunities, Ferguson wants to win another Champions League before retiring, but Cristiano Ronaldo has left for Spain, and Tevez is now at odds with the team, so the possibility of leaving the team is very high.
In Gao Shen's previous life, Tevez was transferred to Manchester City, but now Gao Shen doesn't like this kind of thorn at all, so the whereabouts of the Argentine beast are unknown, but the Community Shield Cup was still thrown into the cold palace by Ferguson.
Needless to say, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 34 goals in the past two seasons. Tevez has scored more than 100 goals between the two players. Now that he is gone and the other is not, how can Manchester United fill this vacancy?
Judging from the warm-up match, both Rooney and Valencia are highly valued, but it is still very difficult for these two to fill the goal gap, so now it depends on how Ferguson adjusts.
Specific to this game, after Van der Sar's injury, Manchester United's goalkeeper position is full of hidden dangers, which is also very worrying.
Compared with Manchester United, Chelsea's situation is actually better, because they have not lost personnel, but the problem is still big. Ancelotti adopted a four-four-two midfield diamond position in this game. From the effect
Look, there are good and bad.
The good thing is that the team's offense is good, but the bad thing is that the team's defense has problems.
In the midfield, Mikel stayed deep, with Malouda and Essien on both sides, and Lampard advanced forward.
But in the game, Mikel's protection of the defensive line, especially the protection of the ribs, was seriously insufficient.
The first goal in the opening game was Nani's quick sprint to the ribs, breaking into the penalty area and scoring.
The last goal was also an assist from Giggs from the ribs, allowing Rooney to equalize the score.
Both of Manchester United's goals were scored in the ribs. Between the two goals, Chelsea took the lead with goals from Carvalho and Lampard, but was eventually equalized by Rooney's goal.
Chelsea won the penalty shootout and defeated Manchester United.
Gao Shen took Sarri and Lucas to watch the game at the scene. Although both sides were not at their best, the outlines of it had already been revealed.
In contrast, profound feelings will be deeper.
In Gao Shen's previous life, Manchester City's signings this summer were all focused on Premier League opponents, such as Manchester United's Tevez, Arsenal's Adebayor and Kolo Toure, and Everton's Lai Scott.
Aston Villa's Gareth Barry and more.
This method of poaching can be said to have strengthened Manchester City itself while weakening its competitors.
But now, Gao Shen is not interested in these players. He has formed a separate team. This has allowed the strength of the Premier League competitors to not be weakened and is stronger than Gao Shen's previous life.
The result is that competition in the Premier League will be more intense than in previous generations.
Especially Liverpool.
In the previous life, Xabi Alonso left, and Aquilani who could not adapt came, which directly caused Liverpool's performance to decline. Benitez took the blame and dismissed get out of class, but now it is not the sick Aquilani, but Bige
Leah.
In other words, everything that Gao Shen is familiar with will basically never happen in the Premier League again.
Liverpool are stronger now than they were in the past.
Even judging from the current situation, Liverpool is also very capable of competing for the championship. After all, the Red Army's weakest forward line now has a Torres.
When he thought of this, Gao Shen became excited.
When he came to the Premier League, he wanted to play against strong teams.
The stronger the opponent, the more excited he is and the more he can prove his strength.
