Since the match between Manchester City and Manchester United was held in the afternoon, Florentino was still in the office at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, watching the focus game with Zidane, Valdano and Butragueno.
No one expected that Manchester City would beat Manchester United 8-0 in an away game.
After watching the whole game, I was not only shocked, but also shocked.
Especially the kind of football displayed by Manchester City was really aggressive and left an extremely deep impression on people.
The strength and potential of players such as Gareth Bale, Suarez, and David Silva can be seen at a glance, not to mention famous superstars such as Robben, Rakitic, and David Luiz.
"I didn't expect that he could slaughter Manchester United at Old Trafford." Florentino was also full of amazement.
More importantly, the offensive football played by Manchester City is so enjoyable!
"The profundity has improved again!" Valdano also praised.
"After three years of training in Serie A, I originally thought that winning the Triple Crown in Naples would be his current limit, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated him. The stage of Naples and Serie A still limited him after all."
Zidane nodded and said: "Six games, six lineups, six tactics, I really don't know what to say other than admiration."
Everyone present suddenly fell into a strange silence.
They were all thinking in their hearts, could what Gao Shen was doing now be a deliberate display of his talents and strength?
When he rejected Real Madrid, the reason was that he had no transfer rights and was opposed to having too many superstars in the team. That's why Florentino wanted to cut it off first, but he ended up angering Gao Shen and switched to Manchester City directly.
He even specially brought in abandoned player Robben from Real Madrid.
But now, Gao Shen is obviously using Manchester City to tell Florentino and Real Madrid that he doesn't need a superstar at all.
Because he is the biggest and most rare superstar in world football today!
He can develop young players who are not superstars into superstars.
He can help those superstars who have declined to regain their form and become superstars again.
He can also spend the least amount of money, do the most things, and help the team create a lineup that is the most competitive, the most exciting and exciting, and capable of achieving results.
Isn't this more valuable than any superstar? More important?
In the summer of this year, the whole world was amazed by Gao Shen's transfer to Manchester City, which cost more than 200 million euros.
But in reality, Real Madrid spent more.
So far, Real Madrid has played three games. Although it is also a three-game winning streak, the performance is not completely satisfactory. Especially in the home game where they defeated Super Deportivo 3-2, they played on tenterhooks.
More importantly, so far, Real Madrid has not encountered a real La Liga team.
Deportivo is very famous, but now its strength is not as good as before.
In comparison, Manchester City's performance was even better.
Even if we don’t mention this 8-0 away game against Manchester United, wouldn’t the previous defeats of Arsenal and Everton be equally exciting?
At this moment, Florentino had to ask himself: Is what he did before really correct?
If Gao Shen is now coaching Real Madrid, then is Real Madrid the team that has won six consecutive games?
Can Real Madrid beat Barcelona 8-0 at Camp Nou?
But there are no ifs in this world.
Florentino didn't understand in his heart that Gao Shen left Manchester City just to get angry with him.
But now it seems that Gao Shen is indeed very capable.
Maybe, I was really wrong!
But Florentino's regret was fleeting, and he soon regained his composure.
Real Madrid's current performance is not bad either.
It is indeed a pity to miss Gao Shen, but with Real Madrid's lineup, if you want to achieve good results, you may not necessarily rely on Gao Shen.
Pellegrini can do the same, can't he?
…
Even the most optimistic fans would never have imagined that Manchester City could beat Manchester United 8-0 in the Manchester derby.
In the words of Andy Gray after the game: "Seeing a game like this is like it hasn't rained in Britain for a year. It's unbelievable."
The British media basically agree with Andy Gray's view. This is the Manchester derby with the largest score in history, and it is also the most painful defeat that Manchester United has ever suffered at home.
Regarding this game, Ferguson said at the post-match press conference that Manchester United did not do well enough in some aspects, especially in marking several key players of Manchester City, and failed to achieve success, which further affected the local defeat.
Overall.
Although Ferguson did not name him publicly, everyone knew that he was talking about Gareth Bale.
This player was elected as the best player in the game with full marks, while his opponent, Manchester United right back O'Shea, became the worst player in the game and got the lowest score.
Ferguson defended O'Shea, believing that in such a game, no matter who encounters Gareth Bale, it will be difficult to take advantage, and Manchester City's entire tactical design is obviously to bring out the best of Gareth Bale.
Bell's speed advantage.
The British media also basically agreed with Ferguson's statement.
Although Gareth Bale performed a double hat-trick of goals and assists, the media generally believed that Manchester City still relied on its overall outstanding performance to win, and the team's number one contributor was head coach Gao Shen.
As the Times said: "In the past, we always focused too much attention on the stars, but in today's Manchester City, although there are exceptionally outstanding players such as Suarez and Gareth Bale,
But everyone’s attention is still on Gao Shen.”
"Six consecutive wins are just an appearance. On a deeper level, Gao Shen designed six different starting lineups and tactics for Manchester City in six games, which were very effective in containing the opponent and at the same time taking advantage of Manchester City's advantages."
The Times believes that in each of Manchester City's six games this season, there have been amazing players, and behind this is the sophisticated tactics at work.
"Gao Shen made us re-understand the tactical beauty of football! He made us clearly notice how important an excellent head coach is to a team."
Not only The Times, but also the Guardian also believed that the 8-0 victory over Manchester United was a profound victory.
In addition to giving high praise to Gao Shen and Manchester City, the Guardian also criticized Manchester United, believing that Ferguson's team now lacks competitiveness, especially when facing strong opponents.
"At Old Trafford, Ferguson's team exposed the weakness of the players' personal abilities. O'Shea was completely eliminated by Gareth Bale, and Manchester United still had no way to deal with the opponent's left wing.
."
The Guardian also pointed out that Ferguson had not made adjustments, but when Manchester United focused on defense on the left, there was a problem in the middle.
"Facing their mortal rivals in the same city, Manchester United is clearly at a disadvantage."
…
In addition to the British media, the media in continental Europe were also generally shocked by this game.
L'Equipe believes that this game is bound to completely overturn the existing power structure of the Premier League and re-create a new order in the Premier League.
"From now on, Manchester City has become an emerging force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League."
"After the advanced team has won six consecutive victories, the next target should be Liverpool. Manchester City will not meet a truly strong team until they visit Anfield in the 13th round."
"Manchester City is very likely to maintain a high level of performance and even win consecutive games in this continuous game every week."
If they can really win twelve consecutive games, Manchester City's lead will be huge.
L'Equipe even believes that Manchester City has become the number one favorite to win the Premier League this season.
Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy published Sacchi's column.
After Gao Shenwen left for England, this number one boaster obviously kept a low profile and praised Gao Shen less frequently.
But after Manchester City beat Manchester United 8-0, Sacchi immediately wrote a column and spoke highly of Gao Shen's coaching in the Premier League, believing that he had fully demonstrated his achievements in three years in Serie A.
"He is better than I thought!"
Sacchi even believed, "Now Gao Shen is already the world's top coach. I have no doubt that he will continue to succeed at Manchester City. He will definitely be able to bring this team to the Premier League championship again and even the top of Europe."
."
German newspaper Bild said sourly that Bayern missed out on the world's top coach.
This summer, there was news that when Bayern was about to change their coach, Gao Shen was also considered as a candidate, but later failed to make the move due to various reasons, and Van Gaal was ultimately chosen.
Today, both the Bundesliga and the Premier League have played six rounds. Gao Shen has won six consecutive victories at Manchester City and has become a veritable leader in the Premier League. Bayern Munich, under the leadership of Louis van Gaal, has only won three wins, two draws and one loss in the first six rounds.
record, only ranking third in the Bundesliga standings.
Bild believes that Gao Shen's coaching philosophy does not mean just spending money on recruiting players, but his vision for talent selection is very unique.
If Bayern invites Gao Shen to coach, I believe he will be able to create a more competitive lineup for Bayern based on the existing lineup.
But now, Gao Shen is coaching Manchester City.
If Gao Shen is missed, Bayern will surely miss the opportunity to revive and return to the top of Europe.

In addition to the overwhelming applause and appreciation, Gary Lineker, the gold medal host of [Match Today], added a mosaic to the show, which also aroused heated discussions among netizens and fans around the world.
Willing to admit defeat, Lineker said that he admitted that he had lost the bet and kept his promise.
But as soon as the front leg took off its "pants", the back leg immediately questioned Manchester City on the show and on Twitter, thinking that it would be difficult for a sophisticated team to have the last laugh. If they want to win the championship, the current Manchester City is not strong enough.
Many netizens and fans left messages one after another, accusing Lineker of being so tough-talking that he had already lost his pants and was still questioning Gao Shen and Manchester City. This is simply disgusting.
Gao Shen did not accuse or criticize Lineker, but directly asked a provocative and domineering question on Twitter.
