During the halftime break, when watching Robben walk off the court, Gao Shen went up to him with a smile, hugged him and praised him.
Robben is used to this kind of "enthusiasm" from his head coach.
In every first and second half, he would greet players coming off the field like this, and he would always stand on the sidelines during the game.
According to the media, Gao Shen wanted to convey to the players on the court that he wanted to fight alongside them.
It's strange to say that when the players get used to the head coach standing on the sidelines, they really feel at ease.
"The main thing is that the pass was good." Robben scored the goal and was in a good mood.
Gao Shen nodded with a smile, "Then you should pass more good balls to him."
Robben was a little surprised and looked at Gao Shen, as if he was looking for something, but the Dutchman finally nodded and walked into the players' tunnel without saying anything more.
Gao Shen watched Robben leave, secretly laughing in his heart.
Young players just like to be competitive.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in military power.
When Robben, Van der Vaart and Van Persie debuted, they were hailed as the new three Musketeers of the Netherlands and had high hopes from countless people.
At that time, there was nothing happening with Sneijder.
But because of this, it is inevitable that the three of them will be competitive with each other, and no one will be convinced by the other.
Who would have thought that Van der Vaart was seriously injured later and was the first to fall behind. Robin van Persie has always caused trouble. After moving from Feyenoord to Arsenal, he has been suffering from injuries. Although Robben is also suffering from injuries, no matter whether he is at Chelsea
, or later Real Madrid, he has always been an ace star.
This has led to many conflicts between Van Persie and Robben.
Not long ago at the World Cup in South Africa, Robin van Persie accused Robben of being too independent in his football, not very willing to pass the ball, and missed many scoring opportunities. Robben retaliated that Van Persie was too lenient.
This kind of relationship between the two may not be a big deal in the national team. Internal strife is a traditional skill in the Netherlands, but if it is in the club, it will be a big problem.
Gao Shen also wanted to push the boat along and lend a hand this time.
In his previous life, the two reconciled quickly. After all, they were competitive when they were young, so it was really not a big deal.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Van Persie also walking down, and Gao Shen immediately greeted him.
"Aryan was praising you for your beautiful pass just now." Gao Shen said with a smile.
Van Persie was stunned for a moment and couldn't believe it, "He...really said that?"
"Of course, he also said that he would pass the ball to you more if there is a chance." Gao Shen replied matter-of-factly.
Van Persie was a little surprised, and he didn't expect Robben to take the initiative to show his kindness.
"You should also show some sincerity, cooperate well, and work hard!" Gao Shen encouraged.
Van Persie nodded a little confused.
We walked all the way to the stadium tunnel and arrived at Manchester City's dressing room.
As soon as he entered the door, Van Persie saw his teammates looking towards him, including Robben.
On weekdays, even in the national team, the two of them have never interacted with each other. He always felt that Robben looked at him with cold eyes, and he was not willing to touch his cold butt with a warm face, so the two of them got along well.
Very indifferent.
But he didn't know why, but tonight he felt that Robben didn't look at him that coldly.
Being in a foreign country and having to fight side by side, we have to get along better after all.
Especially when he thought about what the head coach said just now, he realized that Robben was actually not as bad as he thought.
So, he smiled faintly and nodded slightly.
Robben, who was sitting in front of the closet, just heard the movement and raised his head to glance out of habit, only to find that Van Persie nodded towards him with a smile. He immediately remembered what Gao Shen had just said.
People have taken the initiative to reconcile with me, passed the ball on the court, and now they are taking the initiative to greet me with a smile. It's not too much.
Robben immediately nodded and smiled as a greeting.
The actions of both of them were noticed by Gao Shen, who knew what they were doing, and was secretly amused in his heart.
These young people are so pretentious!
…
During the halftime break, Gao Shen changed three people in one breath.
Felipe replaced Ladon Baines, David Luiz replaced Kompany, and Sturridge replaced Gareth Bale.
There are no adjustments on Manchester United's side.
After the start of the second half, the two teams were still going head-to-head, with Manchester United frequently attacking the edge of Manchester City's penalty area.
In the 52nd minute, when Park Ji-sung tried to send the ball into the penalty area, Jerome Boateng fell to the ground to tackle the ball first and blocked the ball out of the penalty area, where Yaya Toure got it.
When the Ivory Coast midfielder stopped the ball, he glanced ahead and sent a long pass directly to the left rib of the frontcourt.
Sturridge quickly stepped in and stopped the ball before Vidic.
Facing Vidic, Sturridge did not dare to push forward and dribbled the ball forward. However, after O'Shea returned in time, Sturridge kicked the ball back to the left rib at the front of the penalty area.
At this moment, Van Persie quickly came up from the back row and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Sturridge passed the ball across the ball.
The Dutchman stopped the ball towards the left rib of the penalty area, and quickly rushed into the penalty area, just behind Vidic and O'Shea, but Evans pursued him all the way, and Van der Sar also gave up the goal decisively.
.
I saw Van Persie make a quick stop on the left side of the small penalty area, dunk the ball past the attacking Van der Sar, pick the ball with his left foot, pick the ball with one kick, pass and shoot, and pick the ball straight towards the goal.
Later point.
But Robben, who had been running almost all the way from his own half, rushed over at this moment, faced Van Persie's pass, and hit his bald head directly.
The ball hit the net.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!”
"Robben! Scored twice!!"
"Four to two!"
"Manchester City wins again!"
Robben excitedly rushed to the sidelines, turning around and back and waving to Van Persie.
In fact, they both know each other very well that each other is a very outstanding top star, but they are not convinced by each other. Coupled with the media's push, especially when choosing the number one star, this has caused the originally good relationship between them to change.
He became more and more embarrassed, became more and more indifferent, and finally became like a passerby.
But in fact, there is no big conflict between them.
Even if there is, it's just a disagreement on the court.
Van Persie obviously hesitated, but quickly caught up with him, planning to join everyone in celebrating Robben's goal.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as he got close, Robben opened his arms and came up to hug him.
"That's a beautiful message, thank you, Robin!"
Van Persie was stunned for a moment, but quickly hugged Robben, "You caught up in time!"
Afterwards, the two turned around together to accept the congratulations from their teammates.
…
"Yes!"
Gao Shen was very happy when he saw on the sidelines that the two stars he trusted and relied on had resolved their differences.
Even happier than when he won the Community Shield.
Whether in his previous life or now, he has always believed that all those who like football are not narrow-minded.
Now, he even believes that players who can play in the top league, although there will be some conflicts of interest between them, will never be scheming people.
What's more, there doesn't seem to be any major conflict between Van Persie and Robben.
Now that we are playing for the same team, we can't get too embarrassed, right?
He still clearly remembered that Van Persie kissed Robben later, which shows that the relationship between the two is actually very good.
Now, Gao Shen is also happy to see the two of them burying the hatchet.
…
After scoring a goal, Manchester City made another substitution adjustment.
Giroud replaced Van Persie, Fernandinho replaced Robben, and Adam Lallana replaced David Silva.
After using up their six substitutions, Manchester City changed into a 4-4-2 formation, with a midfield diamond position.
Sturridge and Giroud formed a double striker.
In the midfield, Adam Lallana is forward, Rakitic and Yaya Toure are in the middle, and Fernandinho is deep.
Manchester United also took the opportunity to replace four players at once, with Berbatov and Hernandez coming on.
As a result, in the 63rd minute, Berbatov sent a back pass and Hernandez scored a goal, reducing the score to 3 to 4 again.
The two teams presented a head-to-head offensive situation against Maimang.
But starting from the 70th minute, after an adjustment period of changing formations, Manchester City gradually exerted its strength.
Sturridge, in particular, was extremely active and frequently created threats.
As for the midfielder, Yaya Toure now has no worries and can unleash his offensive talents to the fullest.
He first dribbled the ball in midfield. He took the ball out of the three Chelsea midfielders and passed it behind him, allowing Giroud to have a one-on-one shot. However, the French center's shot was calmly saved by Edwin van der Sar.
.
But Manchester City began to steadily control the situation on the field.
Yaya Toure began to become Manchester City's core midfielder on the pitch, responsible for passing and sorting.
Rakitic, Lallana and Fernandinho were responsible for assisting and supporting from the side. This gave Manchester City's midfield the advantage again, forcing Manchester United to make another substitution, replacing Fletcher.
Adopt a three-back midfielder style of play.
But even so, it still couldn't completely suppress Manchester City's offensive.
In the 86th minute, Yaya Toure strutted forward with Rakitic and Lallana after a series of one-twos, then dribbled the ball forward from the center and reached the outside of the top area of the arc. Suddenly,
Pass into the restricted area.
After Giroud blocked Evans with his body, he stopped the ball to the left side of the goal with his chest, and turned around to hit the goal.
Unexpectedly, when Giroud had just turned halfway and was about to hit with his left foot, he found that someone had jumped in first.
Sturridge, who was extremely excited, appeared on the left side of the goal by accident, one step ahead of Giroud, and sent the ball into the Manchester United goal.
This combination looks like Giroud is assisting him.
The whole team rushed out to celebrate the goal, but the unlucky Giroud stood there blankly, almost crying.
Nima, I finally looked forward to the stars and the moon, but finally I got this opportunity, and you actually stole it from me!
What does this look like?
Just like I finally fell in love and had a grand wedding, but you ended up in the bridal chamber!
Sturridge, are you still a human being?
His heart was bleeding, but Giroud still ran over to congratulate Sturridge on the goal.
Although we didn't score a goal, at least we got an assist.
