Chapter 659
Chapter 6 Seventy: Compete Smartly
Liam's joke did not dilute the chill atmosphere of the derby.

At the press conference the next day, Guardiola launched a rare psychological warfare.

"Manchester City are destroying football, they spent £1.5m on a 20-year-old player, it's insane."

Guardiola, who was sitting on the rostrum, said flatly.

The eyes of the reporters in the audience were bright, and they knew that Guardiola must have something to say!
""Too expensive players can have some very serious consequences and it could ruin professional football.Just a few years ago, players worth more than 5000 million were already sky-high, but now the price has risen to 1.5 million! "

"Money outside of football is coming into the game, breaking the rules we had, despite Financial Fair Play, but I don't think that can limit a club like Manchester City!"

"Are you saying Griezmann is not worth 1.5 million?"

"No player is worth that much money!"

Guardiola said.

For Guardiola's remarks, Gao Bo naturally looked disdainful.

He knew the opponent's purpose, so he didn't worry about whether Griezmann was worth 1.5 million.

"Pep is an excellent coach, he would never take the initiative to provoke such psychological warfare!"

Gao Bo straightforwardly pointed out the opponent's purpose: "But he still did it. What does this mean? It means that he is not confident, he is not confident in himself, and he is not confident in Manchester United. They are afraid of us in their hearts, that's why they are like this!"

"Why is Guardiola not confident? Because he has lost to me many times. The [-]-[-] at the Nou Camp has left a good impression on my heart, and the [-]-[-] at Calderon is also the same."

Gao Bo directly uncovered the opponent's scar.

Since Guardiola took the initiative to provoke the challenge, Gao Bo naturally took the challenge.

He wanted to shake the emotions of his players, so Gao Bo threw two bombs with his backhand.

Your coach lost to me twice by a score of [-]-[-]. Will the Manchester United players still believe that Guardiola can win the Manchester derby?

Grades are the last word.

Without the support of achievements, bickering can only be self-defeating.

Until the start of the game, Guardiola did not say anything in the media.

He knows that there is nothing to say now, and the truth can only be seen on the court.

December 12, after three o'clock in the afternoon!
The whole of Manchester seems to be boiling!

Around the Etihad Stadium, countless Manchester City fans wearing blue jerseys flocked from all over Manchester. Looking down from the sky, with the Etihad Stadium as the center, it was like groups of blue ants returning to the ant nest, which was very spectacular.

The lights in the stadium have been turned on, and many fans have poured into the stands.

The match time was at five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still more than an hour before the start of the match.

The seats in the stadium gradually filled with fans.

Naturally, the game was full of seats. More than 5000 fans completely occupied the stands. Blue fans waved blue flags, cheering and singing one after another.

The Etihad Stadium, formerly known as Manchester City Stadium.

球场最开始计划原为2000年夏季奥运会之用，但曼彻斯特在投标时失败。后来建设作为2002年的英联邦运动会的运动场馆，造价为一亿英镑（后有改扩建花费4500万英镑）。后期再作足球运动用途及成为曼城新主场。曼城足球俱乐部在2003年由缅因路球场迁往曼彻斯特城市运动场。2010年续约250年，曼城足球俱乐部获得球场命名权。

Since 2011, Manchester City sponsor Etihad Airways has named the stadium, and the official name of the stadium is Etihad Stadium.

Players from both sides soon appeared on the court, and the warm-up began!

The cheers of the fans suddenly raised a pitch!
At this time, the live TV broadcast has also been cut in. Even if the players are warming up, the fans in front of the TV are not willing to let go of such a scene.

Generally speaking, Gao Bo would not appear on the court during the warm-up, but he came to the court in this game. He walked on the court for a while, felt the thickness of the court, and then knelt down and touched the court to check the degree of watering.

These are details that can affect the game.

Gao Bo stood on the sidelines with his arms folded. He wanted to observe the physical condition of the players for the last time.

Everything looks great.

There is no doubt about the importance of this game, and Gao Bo does not want any accidents to affect the result of the game.

It wasn't until the players finished warming up and were about to go back to the locker room that Gao Bo turned from the court and entered the player tunnel.

The cheers from the stands can still be heard so clearly in the player tunnel, walking on the floor of the player tunnel, Gao Bo can even feel the vibration of the stadium!

Such a crazy game atmosphere belongs to the Manchester derby!

The shock caused by more than 5 fans will be a footnote to a fierce game.

Gao Bo walked to the door of the locker room, pushed open the goal, and then closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the hustle and bustle outside the stadium disappeared.

The Etihad Stadium is a new stadium that has only been built in the past ten years.

The new stadium means modernization, which means complete facilities, and it also means that the locker room can have very good sound insulation conditions.

It's just that the locker room is not quiet now.

Barry, who is in charge of the team's DJ power, is playing deafening rock music.

The players listened to the explosive music, while busy with their own affairs, while shaking their bodies to beat the beat.

Gao Bo frowned: "Turn off the music, Barry!!"

Seeing that the head coach was about to speak, Barry quickly stopped the music.

The players also quieted down!
"This is a game that does not require mobilization. Everyone knows the significance and importance of this game, so let me make a long story short." Gao Bo cleared his throat, "I don't worry about your fighting spirit in this game. I only ask for one thing, keep a calm mind at all times on the field!"

Gao Bo pointed to his head.

The players were thinking about it, and some didn't understand what the head coach meant. The match against Manchester United was a derby in Manchester. The whole team was excited and desperate.

"It is precisely because this is a derby that I want you to keep a cool head. Your fighting spirit is naturally impeccable, but I need you to play football smartly, don't be dominated by emotions, and don't get hotheaded!"

"Keep the fire in your heart, keep your head clear, remember how we play, remember how we arrange, remember how to pass every ball, remember to be smart! Play smart!!"

"This is what I ask of you, do it, beat Manchester United, step on their dead bodies to claim our victory, the Christmas holiday is coming, the derby victory will be the best Christmas present!"

"Okay, guys, I'm done talking, and I'll leave the rest to you!" After finishing speaking, Gao Bo clapped his hands and let the locker room door open.

The players stood up immediately, and all of them filed out under the leadership of Captain Kompany.

They look serious.

They walk with determination.

However, they were not overwhelmed by emotions. The head coach was right. They had to be calm and smart to deal with the game and welcome the victory!
