The game ended 4-1 with Manchester City beating the visiting Arsenal.


    In the first two rounds, the Gunners visited Manchester twice, but they were beaten miserably respectively.


    If we say that Arsenal can be forgiven for losing to Manchester United one-to-two away from home, then the Gunners are almost disgraced for losing to Manchester City one-to-four away from home.


    From the technical statistics obtained at the first time after the game, the ball control rates of the two teams were similar. Arsenal had a stable period of ball control time in the first half and the second half, which made the ball control rates of the two teams 52% to 48%, with Manchester City slightly dominant.


    However, in terms of the number of shots, Manchester City made a total of 23 shots, 12 straight shots and scored four goals. The efficiency is very high, while Arsenal only made 10 shots, five straight shots and scored one goal.


    In terms of corners, Manchester City have a total of 12, while Arsenal have only two.


    It is not difficult to see from this data that no matter from the final result or from the process of the game, Arsenal did not take advantage of Manchester City.


    Losing two rounds in a row made Arsene seem a little dispirited at his post match press conference. When facing the media''s questions, he also played Tai Chi. He could avoid without a positive answer, but only for the team''s attack.


    The urination of media reporters is that they can create embarrassment for you in a good situation.


    For example, in the first three rounds, Arsenal won three games in a row and scored a lot of goals. But in the end, the media wisely found out the problem of the lack of attack of the forward players of Arsenal and exposed it, believing that it was a great crisis for Arsenal.


    Unexpectedly, he lost to Manchester United in the fourth round, and the attack was really unsatisfactory.


    This time, the media all over the UK hyped up the issue of Arsenal''s attack crisis, and even some media publicly questioned whether Arsene Wenger regretted letting Adebayor go, otherwise, how to explain that the attack of the front players fell so fast?


    Before that, this kind of problem has been a headache for Arsene. The team''s continuous losses made him even more worried. However, at the press conference after the game, some media once again asked this question publicly, and even described the situation as a bit dangerous, which made Arsene look very ugly.


    Gao Han sat on one side and looked at it quietly, only feeling funny and helpless.


    Funny because this group of media is so unruly, the problem is also extremely tricky and ridicule.


    Just now, for example, they asked why the midfield players scored so many goals. Even the two central defenders, the newcomer Vermaelen and the long-time unintelligible Gallas, scored more goals than the players in the attack line?


    Frankly speaking, if you ask yourself this question, you may feel embarrassed.


    It''s like pointing at a monk and scolding a bald man.


    Who didn''t know there was something wrong with Arsenal''s attack? Is Arsene not in a hurry when the strikers are late to score?


    But when Arsene was worried, the press asked again, that is to add fuel to the fire, for fear that the world will not be in chaos.


    Unfortunately, this is the normal state of the news media, and it will continue.


    Even the League organizers have specifically stipulated that the coach must attend the post match press conference.


    That is to say, you know that the reporters have bad intentions, and you have to face them with disgust.


    The season is so long, every team will always encounter such and such problems, the players'' state will fluctuate, the media is always full of hype material, and in front of public opinion, the coach is really the vulnerable group.


    Therefore, when dealing with such media, people like Gao Han and Arsene Wenger, who have rich experience in dealing with them, usually have their own set of coping strategies. Just like Arsene Wenger, he directly said that there is no problem with the strikers and everything is in his expectation.


    But for the team''s defeat, Arsene Wenger will be the problem alone, said he is willing to be responsible for the loss.


    As an opponent, Gao can see clearly, and Arsene is only half right.


    The change of 442 is certainly a problem for Arsene Wenger. He is a bit conservative. The players are preparing 433 for the whole pre-season warm-up match, so they must be unfamiliar with 442 and not adapt to it.


    But there must be a problem with the players'' understanding. Denilson and Diaby are almost stuck on the side and failed to adjust their position according to the situation on the field, which is undoubtedly a big problem.


    Of course, both players are young and inexperienced, which is understandable.


    Compared with the media''s insistence on Arsene Wenger, the attitude towards the winner is much more tolerant.


    It was conservative one-to-zero principle that they speculated on Manchester City before. As a result, this game has just ended two weeks of national team competition, and most players are generally in poor condition, but they won Arsenal 4-1, which not only greatly boosted the morale of Manchester City, but also made the media reporters speechless.


    For the team will have such a change, Gao said it is the credit of the players.


    "I want to say that they are a group of high-level players. As long as they are given time, they can quickly understand and appreciate the intention of the head coach and implement it on the pitch. This game is just the beginning."


    "I have every reason to believe that with the deepening of the league, we will perform better and better


    There are few topics that can be hyped after winning the ball. The media''s concern for Manchester City is not as good as that for Gao Han, especially the Premier League''s best manager in August just announced recently. Gao Han and Scolari both lost to Redknapp.


    Media reporters immediately threw the question to Gao Han and asked him about his evaluation of the award.


    "I think it''s fair. Tottenham''s four wins in a row are not easy. Redknapp is a very good manager. I think he deserves to be the best manager in August


    But when it comes to this, the cold front of the story turns and says with a smile: "but there should be nothing wrong with him in September."


    When media reporters heard this, they immediately became interested and asked questions.


    "Don''t you always say that coach of the month has a curse? Look, Redknapp has just won the best coach in August. As a result, he faced Ferguson''s Manchester United in the first game in September, so I think it will be very difficult for him to compete with me in September


    The media reporters on the scene are all human beings. Why can''t they hear the implication of alpine cold?


    If Gao Han wants to win the best manager of the month, he must win the two major games in September.


    Now we''ve taken out Arsenal and it''s still 4-1. It''s a beautiful win. So it''s Manchester United''s turn.


    As long as you beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, Gao is qualified to be the manager of the month.


    As a result, some media reporters soon asked Gao Han whether Ferguson would be the best coach of the month in September. Gao Han said with a smile that he was not worried.


    "Their schedule is too busy."


    Manchester City will not be affected by European events this season. At present, there are only two matches in the Premier League and the Carling Cup. In September, there is only one match in the Carling Cup.


    But Manchester United are different. After playing Tottenham Hotspur this round, they have to go to Turkey again in the middle of the week to play the first leg of the group stage of the Champions League, which is crucial to the promotion right of the Champions League. Ferguson will do his best.


    Just imagine, players have just gone through two consecutive weeks of national team competition, back and forth, not to mention, as soon as they get back to the team, they immediately start a three line battle, two consecutive weeks of one week double game, even the iron man can''t stand it.


    Therefore, in this case, the rotation system and platoon arrangement are very important.


    Manchester City, on the other hand, have a week to prepare for the game at Old Trafford after playing Arsenal.


    Even now I''d like to see Ferguson fight with him. I''m afraid the Manchester United manager doesn''t have time.


    However, after dealing with the media, Gao Han invited Arsene Wenger to drink in an office of the city stadium. The Arsenal manager also revealed a bad news to Gao Han.


    "This game, Ferguson is in the stands


    "What?" Gao Han was a little surprised. "Did the old man become a spy?"


    "I think he''s not sure about the scouts. He wants to see it with his own eyes."


    Gao Han gave a noncommittal smile, but there were some bumps in his heart.


    Ferguson''s old man''s understanding of skills and tactics is really far beyond ordinary people. He can often see the problems and disadvantages to the point. If he comes to investigate in person, it will be a real trouble.


    Looking at Manchester City''s 4-1 victory over Arsenal, we have a lot of scenery. But in fact, Gao Han knows it. This is mainly because Arsene Wenger''s starting tactics before the game are conservative, and Ferguson will certainly see this.


    City have a lot of problems now and it will take some time.


    After all, many things can not be completed overnight, such as the tacit understanding between players.


    It will take at least a longer time for this group of players in the team to skillfully play pass control and find their teammates to pass with their eyes closed.


    "This old man is not a worry."


    …………


    …………


    I don''t know if the so-called curse of the Premier League Manager of the month really exists, but Tottenham Hotspur have come true.


    On the second day of Manchester City''s 4-1 win over Arsenal, Manchester United went to White Hart Lane in North London to face Tottenham Hotspur, only to lose the goal in less than a minute.


    Defoe scored his fifth goal of the season, opening the record for Tottenham Hotspur.


    But soon, United adjusted their tactics and reversed the situation. Two goals from Giggs and Anderson helped United reverse Tottenham Hotspur and ended up with a 2-1 lead in the first half.


    After the break, Redknapp made a substitution adjustment to replace the injured Palacios, while Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes received two yellow cards in just 10 minutes and was sent off by the referee.


    The sudden attack did not bring down Manchester United. Ferguson made a decisive adjustment, replacing Michael Carrick, the substitute midfield player, with Berbatov, the striker, to fight back decisively, while Redknapp replaced two people in a row to launch the offensive.


    In the last half-hour, the two sides played hard, but in the end, it was Manchester United who scored the third goal of the game with Fletcher''s assistance to Wayne Rooney, and also Wayne Rooney''s fifth goal of the season.


    In the end, Manchester United reversed Tottenham three to one.


    But it was a tough win because Scholes would be doomed to miss the next round of the Manchester Derby.


    In the other focus games of this round, Liverpool beat Burnley 4-0 at home, and Chelsea beat Stoke City 2-1 away. Tottenham lost at home, while Manchester City beat Arsenal 4-1, so they ranked second in the table.


    Manchester City and Chelsea are also the only two teams to win the Premier League this season.
