Chapter 950 Two consecutive victories
On the evening of August 6, 2011, the Princes Park Stadium in Paris.
The stands, which can accommodate more than 48,000 fans, were packed, and the stadium was already full of people and loud noises.
Countless French fans sat upright in the stands, waiting for the heavily-built Paris Saint-Germain to leave the player channel as soon as possible, and they also want to witness Gao Han's first official game coaching Paris Saint-Germain with his own eyes.
This will be Gao Han's first official debut in the Ligue 1 league.
The same grand occasion will become the norm in the Princes Stadium this season. According to the information from the club before the game, not only did the season tickets for Paris Saint-Germain be completely thick, but some of the additional season tickets were also sold out. Even the tickets were booked by fanatical fans, and it was unlikely that they could buy them.
Such a fanatical football market has greatly excited the club, but it is not surprising.
Since it was the first home game of the new season, Paris Saint-Germain held a brief ceremony, and then the players of the two teams walked into the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee.
In this game, Gao Han changed his three-back style when he was in Manchester City, returned to the four-back, and adopted a four-three-three formation.
The goalkeeper position is the least suspense, because Kupe has been sent away by Gao Han. Courtois is the team's undisputed main goalkeeper. The Belgian young player also performed very well in the warm-up match, which made goalkeeper coach Pedro Harro highly praised.
The defense line is Marcelo, David Luis, Thiago Silva and Azpilicueta.
This defense line was also built by Gao Han after he entered Paris Saint-Germain for a large sum of money. It spent 120 million euros, which is the most luxurious defense line in European football today. Moreover, the Brazilian national team's defense line must be third to ensure the stability of the team's defense line and the players are also quite understanding.
The only strange thing is Azpilicueta on the right. His performance in Marseille last season was not satisfactory. After switching to Paris Saint-Germain this season, it still makes people feel uneasy.
Among the three midfielders, the drag position belongs to Pirlo. The Italian veteran is not valued in Milan. Many people have hyped that he is coming to Paris Saint-Germain for retirement, but on the first day after Gao Han arrived in Paris, he was the second person he was talking to.
During the exchange, Gao Han told Pirlo very clearly that he had always been eager to cooperate with the world's best organizational midfielder. Pirlo deserves it, and he also firmly believed that Pirlo is still far from the age of retirement, and he could continue to show his strength at Paris Saint-Germain.
The two midfielders in the center are Argentine genius Pastore, and the other is Côte d'Ivoire's midfielder Yaya Toure. Among them, Yaya Toure's strength has improved very quickly during Inter Milan and has become the most dominant midfielder in Europe.
If the midfield and backfield are not surprising, then the frontfield configuration is somewhat surprising.
Neymar on the left is the absolute main candidate, and can even be said to be the leader in the future. This summer's transfer bet is hailed as the most star in European football who is closest to Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the next few years.
However, Gao Han chose Drogba, the monster in the middle.
This year is just a stunning test for Paris Saint-Germain, and next year's Champions League will be the decisive stage for Gao Han.
…………
…………
It is very similar to the first round of the league, and Paris Saint-Germain started the first game very steadily.
Gao Han did not arrange a rush to attack, the players cooperated with each other, made many mistakes, and passed and received the ball with a stable ball, which gave Paris Saint-Germain the advantage of passing and controlling the ball, but failed to create a threat.
But even so, the fans on the scene were still excited to watch it and full of freshness.
When the game reached the 25th minute, after a long period of testing, Paris Saint-Germain took the initiative to attack, and Gao Han directly used the skill card, and four of the six skill cards, forming two combination card effects, including the effective pass and the rapid progress of the ball, and directly launched an attack on Lorient's goal.
Paris Saint-Germain has a home advantage and is far superior to Lorient. Coupled with the stimulation of Gao Han's two combinations of cards, Lorient immediately crushed Lorient at home.
In the 27th minute of the game, Paris Saint-Germain took the lead in breaking Lorient's goal. Center veteran Drogba assisted Yaya Toure and scored. This pair of the Ivory Coast national team team was very skillful and created Paris Saint-Germain's first goal in the new season.
Just five minutes later, Paris Saint-Germain won another game. Pirlo made a sharp pass and tore open Lorient's defense. Drogba was very skillful in running, inserted behind the defender, pushed the ball, and scored again, expanding the score to 2-0.
After scoring two goals in a row, Paris Saint-Germain continued to organize and plan steadily, and patiently launched an attack on Lorient's defense line. The fans at the scene were also very satisfied and kept shouting the names of the head coach and the stars.
After the second half of the game, Paris Saint-Germain continued to launch a steadily attack. In the end, Lorient was the first to be calm and took the initiative to press forward, but was hit by Paris Saint-Germain and Drogba assisted Suarez to score a goal.
After leading three goals, Paris Saint-Germain played more relaxed. Neymar frequently got the chance to get the ball on the left and staged many wonderful personal shows. Especially after the skill card cooled down, Gao Han used the assault card on Neymar again. As a result, the Brazilian winger completely beat Lorient to a sieve on the left.
But Neymar's problem is also quite obvious. His personal performance is there, but the last time he handled the ball is not good enough and he seems to be not mature enough. This is a bit similar to Cristiano Ronaldo who just joined Atletico Madrid, which is too fancy.
However, Gao Han is not the same as Gao Han in the past. He has enough confidence to train Neymar in two years.
Drogba, Yaya Toure and Suarez all scored goals in their debut. Neymar obviously also longed to score goals, but sometimes things are so strange. Neymar longed to score but failed. Lucas Mora, who came on as a substitute in the 75th minute, scored one in the 86th minute.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Lorient four to zero at home, winning a shocking victory.
This also makes it clear to everyone that Paris Saint-Germain will have a hard time meeting opponents in the French Ligue 1 this season.
As hailed as Paris Saint-Germain's two strongest competitors, defending champion Lille drew Nancy 1-1 away in the first round, while Lyon defeated Nice 3-1 away.
But after playing the first round of the league, it was not Paris Saint-Germain who won four goals, but Rennes who beat Dijon 5-1 away.
However, a week later, in the second round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain challenged Rennes away.
This team with the best defense in Ligue 1 last season was at home but tightened the camp, never giving Paris Saint-Germain a chance, and even forced Paris Saint-Germain to a zero-to-zero draw in the first half.
After the second half of the game, Gao Han adjusted the team's tactics, decisively attacked, and used the skill card.
In the 46th minute, Drogba's shot caused an own goal from the opponent's goalkeeper Costi, helping Paris Saint-Germain to lead. Just six minutes later, Neymar finally scored his first goal after joining the Ligue 1.
In the end, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Rennes 2-0 away and won two consecutive victories.
Chapter completed!
