Chapter 770 Flexible Frontcourt Transposition

Chapter 782 Flexible Frontcourt Transposition
After Kaka received some simple treatment in a local hospital in Brazil, Manchester City's medical team suggested that Kaka be transferred to the United States for treatment.

The sports industry in the United States is quite developed, which also means that their sports medicine is also very developed.

And Gao Bo just happened to know that there is a "miracle doctor" in the United States!
That is Dr. Fu Haoqiang, a Chinese American.

This Dr. Fu Haoqiang is a world-renowned sports medicine expert, Gao Bo has nothing to worry about when he is asked to treat Kaka.

On July [-], the day after the Confederations Cup final, Kaka and Manchester City's medical team came to the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, USA.

Kaka will complete ligament surgery here.

Gao Bo also found time to come here to visit Kaka.

"His attitude is very positive. This is a good thing for his recovery." Dr. Fu Haoqiang said.

"This kind of injury always takes a while to recover, even in the most optimistic estimates, it will take two months. I don't think Manchester City should press him to play in the league or the Champions League?"

Gao Bo nodded, injury is always a helpless thing.

While chatting with the doctor, he walked into the ward where Kaka lived.

Kaka was still able to walk around with the help of the protective gear, and he was very happy when Gao Bo came.

But when it comes to the new season, Kaka's eyes darken.

Gao Bo rubbed Kaka's head: "Don't worry, Ricardo. You will be fine, and we will wait for your return."

"I know." Kaka was in a complicated mood, and he didn't say the second half of the sentence.

Even after returning, the main position may be gone.

"Don't worry about the position, Ricardo." Gao Bo saw Kaka's worry, "We have a lot of competition tasks this season, and our goal is to win four important championships!"

Four crowns? !
Kaka stared blankly at Gao Bo.

Of course he knows which four championships, League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup
Although the triple crown team is rare, it is not impossible, but the quadruple crown has never happened in England!
Of course, this can only happen in England, where there are two parallel domestic cup competitions.
"So, coming back in the second half of the season is exactly when we need to employ people! At that time, if you recover well and maintain your state from last season, no one will be able to steal your main force."

Gao Bo blinked, and then said mysteriously: "I only told you about the goal of winning four championships this season."

Kaka laughed, and her mood seemed to recover.

After visiting Kaka, Gao Bo returned to New York immediately!
In New York, they had nearly a month of quiet training.

During this period, Manchester City also played a series of warm-up matches with several local teams.

The results of the warm-up match were naturally not what Gao Bo valued, but because the opponents were all local teams and their strength was not strong, Manchester City basically won the first game.

But a month later, Manchester City's warm-up opponents will be stronger.

It is a warm-up, but Manchester City is actually going to participate in the 2013 Guinness International Champions Cup in the United States.

The first Guinness International Champions Cup in 2013 will be held from July 7 to August 27.The 8 teams participating in the competition are: AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Manchester City, Chelsea, Los Angeles Galaxy, Valencia and Real Madrid.Competition cities include Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, Indianapolis, Miami in the US, and Valencia in Europe.

In this way, at least it is a formal cup game, and the game will be more formal than the general warm-up, and it will also be held in a stadium in the United States, and the number of fans entering the stadium will not be small. Each team has three opportunities for games, namely the first round, the second round, and the final (there are also finals for the third and fourth places, the finals for the fifth and sixth places, and the finals for the seventh and eighth places).

In such a relatively formal game atmosphere, it is better to test the team's warm-up effect.

On August [-]st, the first match of the first round of the International Champions Cup East, Manchester City played against Inter Milan.

The game was played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indianapolis. This is a football field, but it can also be used as a football field after a slight modification.

Before the game, the new coach of Inter Milan and Gao Bo shook hands with each other, and the two sides were also quite friendly at the press conference before the game.

This is also in line with the nature of the friendly match.

In the first half of the game, Gao Bo sent a more experimental match.

First of all, in terms of the midfielder, he began to try to let Eriksson play the midfielder more, and he let Eriksson and Casemiro partner.

Gao Bo believes that when dealing with some weaker teams in the Premier League, with Manchester City's control, there is no need to deploy two defensive midfielders. The two defensive midfielders attack and defend one at a time, adding a creative player in the midfield, and Eriksson's long pass is also a sharp weapon for the team to quickly switch from defense to offense.

In the position of central defender, the partner of Kompany and Umtiti is also the place where Gao Bo focuses on observation.

In addition, the starting goalkeeper is Pantilimon, who was promoted to the second goalkeeper this season.

As a No. [-] goalkeeper, Gao Bo believes that Pantilimon is still qualified-if there are no major accidents, Pantilimon will sit on the bench most of the time.

In the first half of the game, the two sides fought one to one.

In the midfield, Eriksson's defensive ability is still a problem. When facing the impact of a team of Inter Milan's level, this will be a big loophole for Manchester City's defense.

Vardy helped the team score a goal.

In the second half, Gao Bo made a large-scale substitution adjustment. Except for Sanchez, all other players were replaced.

The central defender combination has become Maguire and Lesco, and the left and right full backs have also become Zabaleta and Luke Shaw.

As for the defensive midfielder, Milner and the newly joined Wanyama played, while in the frontcourt, David Silva, Griezmann, Sanchez and Hazard all appeared.

In the first half of the game, Manchester City did not deploy all the main lineup in the frontcourt.In the second half, Sanchez was still not replaced.

Due to Kaka's injury, Gao Bo must let Sanchez fully integrate into the team.Because in the first half of the season, the team must ensure that there is a player who can replace Kaka.

Therefore, Gao Bo intends to let Sanchez play for a while.

Sanchez played on the right in the first half, and in the second half, he was placed on the left, playing with David Silva in the front midfielder, and Griezmann on the right.

Soon after the start of the second half, Manchester City launched a very beautiful attack.

Consecutive passes, from Griezmann, David Silva, Hazard, Hazard passed the ball to the left, Sanchez cut in and faked a real pass, and passed a single goal to Hazard!
Hazard did not stop the ball and shot directly, breaking through Inter Milan's goal and turning the score into two to one.

After the score changed, Gao Bo continued to make adjustments to the personnel positions.

He put Griezmann in the attacking midfielder, David Silva on the right, then Sanchez on the striker and Hazard on the left.

Such an offensive combination in the frontcourt makes Manchester City's position matching very flexible. These players can play in various positions. Sanchez, Griezmann, and Hazard.

Flexible frontcourt switching, this is what Gao Bo has been asking for during training.

He asked the players to play down the concept of position and play more directly.

Where the opponent's loopholes are, attack wherever they are. If the opponent is used to attacking, then change positions and continue attacking!
The flexible switching between several players in the frontcourt will greatly make Manchester City's offense more flexible.

In the 60th minute of the game, Manchester City scored the third goal.

This time it is Griezmann's personal ability. He can display his offensive ability directly facing the goal in the midfielder position.

After receiving the ball in the middle, Griezmann took the ball and turned around, wiped the defender and shot directly at the top of the arc!

Football once again pierced Inter Milan's goal.

Three to one!

After that, Manchester City's transposition became more flexible.

This even made Inter Milan's defensive players unable to find the focus.

In the end, the final score of the game was four to one.

Sanchez also scored a goal on behalf of the team.
