Chapter 769 The most powerful proof

"Arsenal's clearance did not fly far, the ball was still at Manchester City's feet."

"Sturridge had no chance to pass it back."

"Modric took the ball, led it to the middle and passed it to the frontcourt."

"Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly appeared in the middle, and there was no one around him to defend."

"My God, stop the ball, turn around and rush forward, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and suddenly shot..."

"The ball is in!!!"

"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second goal in the game."

"This is also his sixth goal of the season, with six goals in five games. Cristiano Ronaldo's form is very hot, and he himself looks very excited."

"Let's look at the slow-motion replay of this goal."

"Modric dribbled the ball from the right and cut inward horizontally. Arsenal did not have a player to get close at the first time, and Modric's straight pass was very beautiful."

"We saw Benzema suddenly running to the left, while Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the top of the arc at the front of the penalty area. The two formed a very interesting shift, and at the same time pulled away Arsenal's defensive player."

"It was this short one second of the gap that allowed Cristiano Ronaldo to receive the ball at the front of the penalty area, and then turned around and dribbled the ball. Crish, Galas and Alexander Song, who returned to the defense, rushed over immediately, but could not stop the Portuguese from shooting."

"Amunia failed to stop this time. The ball rebounded in front of the goal. The Spanish goalkeeper was powerless to stop it. He could only watch the ball enter the net."

"The first half is approaching, Manchester City will win another goal, three to zero."

"Oh my God, Arsenal was almost defeated in the last twenty minutes of the first half."

"Manchester City played the most exciting 45-minute game this season, allowing us to see what everyone is looking forward to seeing Gao Han and the team he coaches with a tide of offensives."

…………

…………

The entire city stadium was as excited as the ocean, and countless fans were celebrating the team's successive goals.

Manchester City did not play well at the beginning of this game, and was even a little passive, but the team quickly showed its strength and in turn suppressed Manchester City and firmly controlled the situation on the field.

The successive goals scored made Manchester City fans at the scene excited and were all excited.

When they saw Cristiano Ronaldo superstar rushing to the sidelines to celebrate, they shouted his name. When they saw the players celebrating, they walked to the home coach's seat and slapped their high fives to celebrate with head coach Gao Han. When Cristiano Ronaldo hugged Gao Han tightly, the whole audience shouted the head coach's name loudly.

The sound of the high cold swept across the entire city court like a tide.

This scene made Mansour, the chairman of the Abu Dhabi consortium, who sat in the stands and rushed to London from the Middle East for the purpose of watching the game on the spot, felt extremely excited because he had been waiting for the scene to appear.

He hopes that all Manchester City fans will continue to love his team, just as before.

But this situation has never been seen last season.

"He is such an incredible person." Mansour exclaimed.

Although it was only twenty minutes short, the football played by Manchester City was extremely exciting.

They firmly control the ball, suppress Arsenal, and put this traditional Premier League giant in the half, leaving the Gunners without even having the ability to parry. Not to mention the Premier League, even in Europe, how many teams can do it?

What's more, Gao Han's team has just reorganized not long ago. Head coach Gao Han has made an indelible contribution to being able to form combat effectiveness so quickly, which also made Mansour more convinced of his original choice.

Sitting next to Mansour, General Manager Paul Fottery was undoubtedly the happiest.

He knew his position at Manchester City, and even he understood why he was so proud of Mansour.

The better Gao Han did at Manchester City, the more unbreakable his position as general manager.

"Mr. Mansour, as far as I know, Gao Han's team is far from adjusting to its best."

"Oh?" Mansour was filled with surprise.

"Kaka's injury seriously disrupted Gao Han's plan. I originally told him that the management could support him in introducing a suitable substitute." Paul Futre said with a smile.

Mansour nodded. If Gao Han felt that there was a need, he could do this.

"But Gao Han told me that he had spent more than 400 million euros. He coached many European football teams. He has never spent so much money in recent years like this summer. He feels a little merciless."

After Paul Futrey finished speaking, he laughed.

Mansour and Mubarak couldn't help but find it funny when they heard this.

This is indeed Gao Han’s original words, and it is also the truth. He said it when he was joking with Paul Fotterrey.

But it’s not surprising to think about it. Gao Han has always been known for his ability to discover and train young players. At Chelsea, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, they spent a lot of money to reorganize, but at most they only invested about 100 million yuan. But this time, he spent more than 400 million yuan in one go and introduced several superstar players.

Not to mention Gao Han, Paul Futrey's hands trembled when he signed the contract.

"Because he knew that he had spent so much money and needed to give results, he did not dare to mention recruitment. He hoped to optimize the team's existing lineup, so there is the lineup we see now. If it is the most ideal lineup in his mind, it should be the three, four, and three formations, and the midfield diamond position."

"Is there any difference?" Mansour asked with interest.

"The three, four, and three formations were the main formation of the Dutch team, which was attacking and defending during the period of Michels and Cruyff. The entire front, middle and back lines were very close. It can be said that they were integrated with each other. The players' rotation and cross-transfers were used to achieve an integrated offense and defense, and then they exerted huge lethality on both ends of the offense and defense."

"That's the strongest formation?" Mansour asked excitedly.

Paul Futerre shook his head, "The formation is not as strong or not, nor is it perfect. But since Cruyff achieved it once in Barcelona in the early 1990s, no other team in European football has been able to regain such a formation in the past decade. Rijkald had also failed in Barcelona before."

After listening, Mansour felt unaware of his harshness.

"When Kaka returns, I believe you will see a stronger and better Manchester City team than you are now."

Paul Futrey's words made Mansour nod constantly.

"Okay, from now on, I will definitely watch every home court in Manchester City from now on."

…………

…………

The first half ended with Manchester City's temporary lead of 3-0.

The Arsenal players looked a little relieved. The referee's whistle saved them. Otherwise, with their performance in the last ten minutes, Manchester City might score another goal anytime and anywhere.

The situation on the court, the rhythm of the game and the possession of the ball were all controlled by Manchester City, and they were simply unable to resist.

But halftime is their best chance to breathe.

Gao Han highly praised the players' outstanding performance in the last period during the half-time break, hoping that everyone can continue to work hard and maintain the rhythm and game style of the first half. But at the same time, he also reminded the players that Arsenal will definitely make adjustments.

“We didn’t connect well enough on the offensive end.”

"Javier." Gao Han pointed at Mascherano. "You should pay attention in the second half and press forward more actively. Don't worry behind you. Remember that behind you, there are also Xavi Alonso and your other teammates, who will protect you."

Mascherano nodded at the time of teaching. Gao Han had arranged these words before the game, but in the game, he was still a little unwilling to let go, especially as a defensive player, which made him a little restrained in front-strike attack.

"Also, Benzema, I need you to retreat more or pull to the side more and pull them as much as possible, and if they don't go, then you attack after you get the ball, do you understand?"

Compared to Gao Han who only made tactical adjustments during the halftime break, Arsenal head coach Wenger made a substitution during the halftime break, replacing Denilson with Rosici, and Arsenal's formation also changed into a 433 formation in the second half.

The three midfielders composed of Alexander Song, Fabregas and Diaby are also very strong.

This made Gao Han see it, shook his head and sigh, "It's not easy to play in the second half."

Sure enough, after the side change in the second half, Arsenal began to consciously capture the midfield defense and use three midfielders to put pressure on Manchester City. The trident in the frontcourt actively oppressed Manchester City's three defenders, Rossicky and Van Persie were separated from the two wings.

Facts have proved that Arsenal is indeed more adaptable to the 433 formation. At least the current staffing configuration is obviously more comfortable to play 4333, which makes them compete with Manchester City in the second half, and it has washed away the decline in the first half.

When the game was 63 minutes into the end, Fabregas seized a counterattack opportunity in the middle, passed the ball in the middle, and sent the ball to the left side of the goal. Rosici inserted it and calmly shot low in the small penalty area to score a goal, winning a goal for Arsenal.

This goal ignited the Gunners' anger, especially as the game deepened, many Manchester City players participated in two national team matches in September. After running back and forth, their physical fitness was a bit poor, which made the Gunners start to regain the situation.

Gao Han also made decisive adjustments, maintaining the situation on the field through substitutions, and adopting a more pragmatic game strategy.

Until the 78th minute, Arsenal attacked Manchester City's hinterland. After Xavi Martinez intercepted the ball, he launched a counterattack on the spot, and sent the ball behind Manchester City's defense with a long pass.

Benzema inserted at high speed in the middle, dribbled the ball and attacked nearly 30 meters, threw Virmulen away and passed the back point. Sturric quickly followed up, facing the attacking goalkeeper Amunia, calmly shot the ball into the goal, four-to-one.

This goal hit Arsenal very hard, especially it made them realize that Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City of last season.

Today, Blue Moon not only has the world's number one head coach Gao Han, but also has a group of outstanding European and even world-class superstars. Now, they have become a force that cannot be underestimated in the Premier League and even European football.

They are no longer the soft persimmons that were kneaded by others in the past.

Today, Manchester City knows that they have the ability to smash Arsenal's defense into a sieve and suppress the Gunners in the half.
