Gao Shen gave Robben a two-week holiday, as long as he returned to the team in time to report before the fifth round match.
Not only that, Gao Shen prepared round-trip air tickets and hotels for Robben and his family, allowing them to enjoy a trip to the Middle East.
These are the benefits of Gao Shen as an image ambassador, so he borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha.
During this period, Gao Shen took the time to go to London and attend the Football Association's annual coaches meeting.
Originally, he had some expectations for this trip, but after actually arriving, frankly speaking, he was very disappointed. The head coaches who were really active in the Premier League either didn't come, or they just showed up and left. The most active ones were those who quit.
On the front line, there are head coaches who have a lot of time, and the largest number of them are young coaches.
Of course, it is boring for Gao Shen, because he is now at the top of the pyramid.
To a certain extent, holding such an annual meeting is actually very meaningful.
Especially for the growth of young coaches.
It is worth mentioning that Gao Shen actually met a young coach from China who came to study at Loughborough University.
From what he said, he chose to study in the UK because of his advanced skills. After that, he hopes to stay and work in European football.
Gao Shen naturally smiled and encouraged him, and also left him a private phone number so that he could contact him if he had anything to do.
No matter what, we are all brothers and compatriots outside, so please help if you can.
Gao Shen didn't stay long at the coaches' annual meeting when he was called away by a phone call from Ancelotti.
Don't get me wrong, it's not about playing cards, it's about eating.
London's Premier League teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and West Ham United are hosting organizations and invite the Premier League coaches present to dinner and sit down and chat together. This seems to be an annual event
Habit.
In fact, there are really many famous coaches in the Premier League now.
Fulham's head coach is Hodgson, who has coached Inter Milan twice. Gao Shen will also coach Liverpool and the England national team in his previous life; Hammers West Ham United's head coach is Italian legend Zola; Wigan Athletic
The head coach is Roberto Martinez, who will replace Moyes at Everton and shine when coaching the Belgian national team.
Plus some other familiar managers, such as Moyes, Martin O'Neill, Mark Hughes and so on.
The current Premier League can be said to be full of famous coaches.
Gao Shen is undoubtedly the most special person at the scene, because if you look around, you can see that they are all a group of old men in their forties, fifties, or even sixties or seventies. He is the only one, and he will not even turn twenty-nine until some time later.
A pinch of water makes it moist.
But it's also interesting to say that except Mark Hughes who was embarrassed to see him, everyone else was very enthusiastic.
They are competitors both on and off the court, but in fact they are not exactly competitors.
Needless to say the former, whether it is in terms of team performance or competition for positions, they are all opponents, but on the other hand, there are twenty positions in the Premier League. At the level of Gaoshen, he will only go to the top four teams.
Coaching Manchester City is all because of the crazy investment from the Qatari consortium behind the scenes.
Therefore, to a certain extent, as long as these coaches have strong enough coaching skills and can keep up with the changing trends of the times, they do not have to worry about losing their jobs.
Especially in the past few years, many English Championship teams have been acquired by investors, with considerable investment and considerable financial resources.
Under such circumstances, the atmosphere at the dinner party was naturally very lively.
At the end of the dinner, Ancelotti privately and kindly tried to persuade Gao Shen to stay, but was sternly rejected.
No need to guess, this damn fat guy just wants to find a partner.
…
After returning to Manchester, Gao Shen started busy work again.
Although the players are no longer here, he keeps an eye on the national team's training and games every day. He has to communicate with the players anytime and anywhere, understand their every move, and report almost every sneeze.
What Gao Shen didn't expect was that the Dutch winger ended his vacation early and came back.
He only took one week of the two-week vacation.
When Gao Shen saw Robben again at the Carrington training base, he looked at him carefully from beginning to end. From his face, expression, and eyes, he could see that the Dutchman's mental outlook was different from before.
It's indeed different.
Carlo and others also noticed.
"What? Did you meet a beautiful woman in the Middle East?" Gao Shen asked jokingly as he asked Robben to sit down with a smile.
Robben scratched his bald head and said, "What kind of beauties can you meet when you are traveling as a family? You just let yourself go completely, and you feel a lot more relaxed."
"Good thing!" Gao Shen noticed the smile on the corner of Robben's mouth and nodded in approval, "After recharging, we have to prepare well when we come back. We will play against Arsenal next week!"
When Robben heard this, his face became serious, "Boss, don't worry, I won't let you down this time!"
Just kidding, Gao Shen not only invested his efforts and energy in Robben, but also invested a huge amount of money.
These days, Gao Shen pays for all the food, drinks and shit that the family enjoys in Dubai. Although it is a benefit from the sponsor, it is also a gift from Gao Shen to Robben. The Dutch still remember this sentiment in their hearts.
Now that the holiday is over and people are back, it’s time to calm down.
If Robben didn't know how to serve Gao Shen to the death at this time, Gao Shen's plan would have been wasted.
"Don't be nervous, don't put so much pressure on yourself, prepare well, I need you against Arsenal!" Gao Shen encouraged.
Robben nodded solemnly and took his leave.
…
After the Dutchman left, Gao Shen, the coaching staff, and psychologist Ferrucci began to discuss the situation after Robben returned.
It looks really good.
In the past, the Dutch always had an expression of hatred and bitterness. They were old Luo men and looked uninterested. But now it is different. They are full of electricity, and their expressions have a sense of eagerness and eagerness to play the game.
That's a very good sign.
It proves that the Dutch really went into battle lightly and got back into shape.
"In the next period of time, we must pay close attention to Robben's physical condition and at the same time pay attention to his mental state." Gao Shen warned, Robben has always been in his tactical system and plays a decisive role.
The coaching staff and Ferrucci all nodded in agreement.
Ferrucci's biggest role at Manchester City is to control the players' psychological and emotional fluctuations. During her time in Naples, her work was very smooth and she achieved considerable results, but after coming to Manchester City, the challenges were obviously greater.
Because the Manchester City team has troublesome players like Robinho, big-name superstars like Robben, and players like Suarez who have psychological problems left by the shadow of their childhood.
It can be said that this is a new and higher challenge.
Not just for coaches, but for Gao Shen as well.
Every season is a new start, especially for Manchester City this season, which is even more stressful.
But once you succeed, the sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.
…
After Robben returned to the team, Gao Shen still organized the training in an orderly manner according to the original plan, and also appropriately arranged some tactical drills and special training for Arsenal.
During this period, Gao Shen focused on developing players such as Henderson and Adam Lallana.
As for Gareth Bale, Sturridge and others, they all went to participate in the national team or national youth team games.
Judging from the feedback in training, Robben's performance in training was still very good after his return.
According to his own statement, even during his vacation, he insisted on training in the hotel gym every day, so his physical condition did not get worse because of his vacation. On the contrary, he looked very energetic and his condition was getting better and better.
good.
Three days before the start of the fifth round, the Premier League officially announced the Premier League Manager of the Month and Player of the Month for August.
This is also a major tradition of the Premier League, which selects the best head coach and best players every month.
Even before the announcement, the media was already discussing and hyping it up. Judging from the standings, Gao Shen is undoubtedly the number one favorite.
But many times, the favorite may not be elected.
After all, there were four teams that won four consecutive victories in August. When it comes to performance, other head coaches are not necessarily that bad.
Although it is just an honor, it is Gao Shen's first time since landing in the Premier League, and he is still looking forward to it.
In the end, Gao Shen successfully won the title of Coach of the Month for the first time this season.
The official interpretation given by the Premier League is that in the four games in August, Manchester City scored a total of 18 goals and only conceded one goal. It was the best and most stable performance among all the Premier League teams, and it was also the best on the scene.
The team that plays the best football.
"Gao Shen has fulfilled what he promised when he coached Manchester City, leading this upstart team to play aggressive and beautiful technical football. This makes Manchester City's football style unique and eye-catching in the Premier League."
Premier League officials stated that although there have only been four games, Gao Shen has proven his coaching ability with solid results and the team's outstanding performance. He and Manchester City have the opportunity to become the biggest dark horse in the Premier League this season.
The competition for August's Player of the Month is also fierce.
Liverpool's Gerrard and Torres, Chelsea's Essien and Drogba, and Tottenham Hotspur's Defoe all performed very well, and they all have the qualifications and abilities to compete for the best of the month.
But in the end it was Suarez from Manchester City who won the Player of the Month.
The reason is also very simple. In the past four rounds of the league, Suarez scored seven goals. On the one hand, this is due to Manchester City's offensive football. On the other hand, it is also a reflection of Suarez's personal ability, and he
There were also a few assists.
"In the sophisticated tactical system, Suarez plays a decisive role. He is an important part of Manchester City's four-game winning streak. He is also the most outstanding player in the Premier League in the past month."
"What's more important is that such an outstanding player only cost Manchester City 15 million euros in transfer fees. It can be said to be a great value!"
"Suarez's success once again proves Gao Shen's unique vision in selecting, employing, and cultivating young players. At the same time, it also makes people look forward to the future of the Uruguayan center. I believe he will be a key player for Manchester City this season.
