Chapter 779 Only the anger of the victor will be heard
The first few games of Manchester City this season were not too strong opponents for Manchester City.

Therefore, although many media have praised Manchester City's consecutive victories, of course there are also mavericks in it.

Some media believe that for Manchester City, the current results do not mean anything.

Just look at their opponents since the start of the season.

The Premier League has started four rounds. The opponents are Newcastle, Cardiff City, Hull City, and Stoke City. They are all teams in the middle and lower reaches, and even teams in the relegation zone.

The Champions League opponent Pearson, and even the European Super Cup opponent Benfica, are not too strong teams.

"The game at the beginning of the season, the Community Shield match, may have real reference value. Manchester City's opponent in that match was Manchester United. Although Manchester City finally won the Community Shield match, they ended up in a draw with Manchester United, and then finally won the championship through a penalty shootout! Manchester City did not continue their strength against strong teams last season. They won a few weak teams in the previous rounds, which does not explain any problems!"

Suddenly, Manchester City, which has won six consecutive victories in all competitions since the start of the game, seemed to be suffering a six-game losing streak.

The media began to discuss Manchester City's ability to play against strong teams.

The draw in the Community Shield has been constantly hyped up.

The wind direction of the media was shifted overnight.

So much so that when Gao Bo got up the next day, seeing the news, he thought his team had collapsed and was in danger.

"Scabby disease!" Gao Bo threw the newspaper on the table, and then went to wash up, preparing for a day of training.

This is already the second day after they returned from the Czech Republic. The team had a day off, and then they will immediately start preparing for the game again.

Gao Bo is also an experienced coach. He naturally knows that the news about Manchester City being hyped so intensively at this moment is related to the team's next game.

Manchester City's next game will be at home against Manchester United on September 9!
The focus of the fifth round of the Premier League!

For both teams that participated in the midweek Champions League, this game is not easy to play.

But relatively speaking, Manchester City will go to Eastern Europe to play an away game, while Manchester United will play against Leverkusen at home. Although Manchester United's opponents are stronger, Manchester United can avoid the fatigue of long-distance travel.

Therefore, in this Manchester derby, even if Manchester City is playing at home, it is generally believed that Manchester United is waiting for work.

And the media that has been hyping frequently recently is naturally coming for this game.

At the press conference before the game, Gao Bo was asked about Manchester City's "facing a strong team".

This is the case with the media. If there is no "problem", it will often create problems for you.

And Gao Bo's answer was also very straightforward: "No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, we always play the football we want based on ourselves."

At Guardiola's press conference, no reporter asked him this question.

Because this issue has little to do with Manchester United. In fact, Manchester United is also in a state of distress now.

After four rounds, Manchester United only scored seven points!
It is as much as five points behind Manchester City.

With such a point gap, if they lose this game again, they will be eight points behind in just five league rounds!
What this result means is believed to be very clear to most people.

"Although it is only the fifth round of the game, for Manchester United, this is an extremely critical game. We must strive to win the game to make us feel better at the beginning of this season. If we lose this game, the consequences will be difficult for us to bear!" Guardiola said when facing media reporters.

For Gao Bo, what he hopes more is that the players can maintain a calm mind to deal with Manchester United.

After all, the current consultation is so developed, and everyone has seen relevant reports in the media.And such a public opinion environment may have an impact on the players everywhere.

Maybe some players will feel very unconvinced, which will affect their emotions during the game.

Perhaps some players will be irritated by this.

In the modern society with advanced information, players' emotions are affected by public opinion, which is very unavoidable.

Gao Bo needs to take all issues into consideration.

The influence of emotion on the result of a football game is obvious. For Manchester City, reports like this by the current media have unpredictable advantages and disadvantages. What Gao Bo needs to do is to eliminate the influence of public opinion on the emotions of the players, so that the players can focus on the game.

In the locker room before the game, the players were discussing this issue.

"Those paparazzi are really funny. We won six games in a row and they said it was like we lost." Vardy said in the locker room.

"They just rely on these things to impress the public!"

"In today's game, let's let them see whether our match against the so-called strong team is as they expected!"

"We must beat Manchester United today and slap those guys hard in the face!!"

Hearing the obviously emotional expressions of the players, Gao Bo frowned.

Then he motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Stop discussing this matter, it's just a silly media hype, you should focus on the game!"

"On the court, we need passion, but what we need to pay attention to is that we can't let this fire ignite ourselves. We can't play football with a sense of anger. We don't play football for the media like them. We play football for ourselves and for victory!"

"No matter what, we need to keep calm and always think about the way we play, how we move, how we pass, how we shoot, how we score!!"

"Score the first goal, then score the second!"

"Don't think about how much we're going to win!"

"We just need to remember and think about how to score the next goal!!"

Gao Bo said in a serious tone.

"I understand everyone's dissatisfaction, but if we can't win this game, wouldn't it just make people's argument valid? No matter how angry you are, it won't help."

"Everyone will only cheer for the victory, and don't care about the feelings of the losers. If we want to express our anger, the best way is after the game is over - before that, the first thing we need to do is to win the game!!"

After Gao Bo finished speaking, the players in the locker room fell silent.

Soon, the players were making preparations for the game in an orderly manner.

And when they're ready.

Gao Bo announced his appearance!
