Chapter 787

Domestic uproar.

As for Gao Bo, he has no time to read domestic comments now.

Gao Bo did not regard Everton as too strong an opponent.

Unlike outside speculation, Gao Bo does not think that Everton will be able to pose too much threat to Manchester City without Hazard or Vardy.

In Gao Bo's tactical system, all players are not irreplaceable.

The current Manchester City is like a well-oiled machine. Temporarily changing the drill bit will not have much impact on the strength of the team.

City don't depend on a single scorer.

Manchester City's scoring ability in the offensive group is very strong.

Without Hazard and Vardy, Sanchez, Griezmann and even David Silva behind them can take over the task of scoring goals.

This is not a big problem for Manchester City.

Regarding the issue of who will play the center forward, Gao Bo made a decision the day after Hazard was injured.

It is not impossible to let Sanchez and Griezmann play instead, but Manchester City's biggest advantage now is in the midfield. Replacing a weaker player on the forward line will not have much impact on the overall tactical system.

And since they want to make stars, it is natural to give Li Yuanshan a chance to play.

Everton may have the strength, but in Gao Bo's view, the problem is not big.

Because he didn't expect Li Yuanshan to be a blockbuster in his first appearance.

It is not a bad thing for Li Yuanshan to start for the first time, to be able to play a complete game, keep up with the rhythm of the team, and feel the atmosphere of the Premier League first.

During the training the day before the game, Gao Bo did not announce the team's starting lineup.

But generally speaking, on this day, the players will each know who will start the next game.

Because the last part of training in the afternoon is an internal training match of 15 minutes each in the first and second halves, mainly to practice offensive routines.

Therefore, at this stage, the main lineup is naturally divided into one piece.

So when Li Yuanshan put on the yellow training vest that symbolized this starting position, he couldn't hide his inner excitement at all.

The assistant coach Mo Ya, who was in charge of distributing the training shirts, patted Li Yuanshan on the shoulder with a smile: "Come on, boy!!!"

When the two center forwards were unable to play, the No.3 center forward of the team's first team got the chance to play.

In fact, Moya strongly recommended Li Yuanshan to start the game against Everton.

First-team players who rarely get the chance to play usually go to the Premier League's reserve league.

Gao Bo will not direct the reserve league, so the task of directing the reserve league games falls to the assistant coach Moya.

And Li Yuanshan must be a frequent visitor to the reserve league, and in the reserve league, Li Yuanshan's performance is still very good.

In the past few games, the progress has been very obvious. From the inability to adapt to the tall central defenders of the opponents at the beginning, he is now more and more proficient in the reasonable use of his body.

If your team has a big center, the effect is actually very obvious. At least when you have nothing to do, you can still use the oldest tactic-directly hit the big center with a high ball on the top of the head.

It's just that modern football puts more emphasis on mobility and integrity, and the range of activities of the center forward must become larger and larger. The living space of traditional center forwards is naturally compressed.

However, people in Moya's era still have some nostalgia for traditional center players.

So Mo Ya's perception of Li Yuanshan is still very good.

He likes this young man who is active in training and resolute in tactical execution.

Li Yuanshan happily put on the yellow training shirt, and then ran to which side of the main players.

It's a pity. If this little guy has better skills and faster speed, with his body, he will definitely have a chance to become a first-class center forward.

The players were not surprised that Li Yuanshan was able to start.

Because Li Yuanshan has participated in many frontcourt offensive routine drills these days, and the same is true for set kick drills.

The on-court tasks that Gao Bo set for Li Yuanshan were also relatively simple.

On the offensive end, Li Yuanshan's main task is to contain the opponent's central defender, pull the gap, and create opportunities for the three attackers behind him to shoot. With Li Yuanshan's current ability, he is of course not qualified to be the main attacker.

Of course, if you are not the main attacker, it is not that you have no chance to score.

The field changes rapidly, and in an instant, whether to shoot or pass is determined by the players on the field.

In terms of defense, Li Yuanshan's main task is to suppress the opponent's central defender.

Not surprisingly, Everton's central defender Jagielka will start the game. Li Yuanshan's task is to contain Jagielka on the offensive end and interfere with the opponent's back line on the defensive end.

The task was relatively simple, and Gao Bo believed that Li Yuanshan could do it well.

the next day!
The game between Manchester City and Everton is the evening game of this round of the league.

The Etihad Stadium is packed!

Fans filled the stadium early on.

An hour before the game, Manchester City's bus arrived at the stadium.

The players file down from the car.

Some people were still in the mood and waved to the reporters and fans around them, showing confident smiles.

This is Gao Bo's second season of coaching Manchester City. The changes he brought to this team are huge. This Manchester City is now quite mature, and each of their players is proud and proud of being a member of this championship team.

Gao Bo was wearing a dark gray suit with a Manchester City scarf around his neck, looking quite stylish.

As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Coach Gao Bo, can I have an interview?"

"Hey Mr. Gobo, I have a question."

Gao Bo saw that Moya was leading the players towards the locker room, and he stopped.

"Three questions!"

Gao Bo held up three fingers.

With so many reporters, three questions are too few.

But the reporters are already very happy about it.

Because if they are not satisfied, Gao Bo can turn around and leave at any time-even in the press conference before and after the game, Gao Bo will not choose to answer many questions.

"Now that the team's two main center forwards are unable to play, will this have a very big impact on Manchester City?"

"Injuries and suspensions are part of the football game. We are fully prepared for this. We have enough lineup depth to deal with the team's injuries. Of course, I hope that neither injuries nor suspensions will come to us."

"Everton's new coach Martinez believes that the absence of Hazard and Vardy is an opportunity for Everton. What do you think?"

"If Mr. Martinez thinks this is an opportunity for Everton, I think after the game, he will find out that this is a huge mistake." Gao Bo said.

"It seems that you are very confident in this game. Where does your confidence come from? Before the game, there was news that Chinese player Li Yuanshan may start this game. Does your confidence come from this Chinese center?"

"Li Yuanshan is an excellent player, but my confidence comes from my team!" Gao Bo showed a proud look on his face, "We have the best players in the world, we have a great understanding, we are a top team."

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he raised a finger: "There are already four questions, and I have answered one more. Goodbye, gentlemen of reporters."

Faced with the "retaining" of the reporters, Gao Bo left without looking back.

"I still have questions to ask, this guy is too embarrassing!" A young reporter complained.

A reporter with gray hair shook his head. He patted the rookie on the shoulder and said with an elder's gesture: "This is his right, the right of the champion coach!"

"As long as he can win the championship, even if he is more domineering than Mourinho, you can't help him!"
