The game ended four-to-one, with the home team Manchester City defeating the visiting Arsenal without any danger.

In the first and last two rounds, the Gunners visited Manchester twice, but both suffered a crushing defeat, but their situation was completely different.

If Arsenal is understandable if it is 1-2 to lose to Manchester United away, then the Gunners can almost be said to be disgraced and their strength will be exposed.

Judging from the technical statistics obtained at the first time after the game, the ball possession rates of the two teams are almost the same. Arsenal had a stable ball possession period in the first half and the second half, which gave the ball possession rate of the two teams 52% vs 48%, and Manchester City had a slight advantage.

But in terms of the number of shots, Manchester City scored a total of twenty-three shots, twelve shots on the goal, and four goals, which was very efficient, while Arsenal only had ten shots, five shots on the goal, and one goal.

In terms of corner kicks, Manchester City has a total of twelve corner kicks, while Arsenal only has two.

It is not difficult to see from this data that in this game, whether from the final result or from the game process, Arsenal did not gain any advantage against Manchester City, and could not see any advantage.

The two consecutive rounds of defeat made Wenger seem a little excited at the post-match press conference. When facing media questions, he also played Tai Chi. He avoided it without a direct answer, but the team's forward question was only about the team's forward line.

The nature of media reporters is that they can create some embarrassment for you when the situation is in a good state.

For example, in the first three rounds, Arsenal won three consecutive games, with unstoppable momentum and scoring goals. However, the media savvyly found the problem of Arsenal's weak attacks and exposed him, believing that this was a major crisis for Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, he lost to Manchester United away in the fourth round, and the offense was indeed unsatisfactory.

At this moment, all the British media were hyping up the Arsenal's forward crisis, and some media even publicly questioned whether Wenger regretted letting Adebayo go. Otherwise, how would it be explained that the attack of the forward players was declining so quickly?

Previously, this type of problem had already made Wenger very troubled. The team lost consecutively, which made him feel even more worried. However, at the post-match press conference, some media once again asked this question publicly, and even described the situation as a bit of a crisis, which made Wenger's face look very ugly.

Gao Han sat aside and watched quietly, feeling funny and helpless.

It's funny because this group of media is so unconventional, and the problems are extremely tricky and ridiculous.

For example, they just asked, why did the midfielders score so many goals, even the two central defenders, the new arrival of Vermullen, and the many unintentional Galas score more goals than the players on the front line?

To be honest, if this question is about asking yourself, Gao Han would probably feel embarrassed.

This is simply pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man.

Who doesn’t know that there is something wrong with Arsenal’s offense? The forward player has been slow to score goals, so isn’t Wenger anxious?

But when Wenger was anxious, media reporters asked this again, that was to add fuel to the fire, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Unfortunately, this is the norm for the news media and will continue.

Even the league organizers specifically stipulated that the head coach must attend the post-match press conference.

In other words, you know that those reporters have bad intentions, but you still have to endure the disgust and face them.

The season is so long, every team will always encounter various problems, the players' status will fluctuate, and the media always has a lot of hype materials. In the face of public opinion, the head coach is the weak group.

Therefore, when dealing with such media, those who have rich coping experience, usually have their own set of coping strategies, just like Wenger, which directly means that there is no problem with the forward players and everything is as expected.

But for the team's defeat, Wenger took the whole picture and said that he was willing to take responsibility for the loss.

As an opponent, Gao Han saw it clearly, and Wenger's words were only half correct.

Change the formation of four and four two must be Wenger's problem, which is a bit conservative, and the players are preparing for four and three three throughout the pre-season warm-up match, so they must be a little unfamiliar with four and four two and are not very adaptable.

But there must be problems with the players' understanding. De Nielsen and Diaby almost both stick to the wing and fail to adjust their positions according to changes in the situation on the court, which is undoubtedly a big problem.

Of course, both players are still young and have insufficient experience, which is understandable.

Compared with the media's desperate efforts to Wenger, he is much more tolerant in his attitude towards the winner Gao Han.

Before, they were conservative and one-to-zero. As a result, this game just ended two weeks of national team matches. Most players were generally in a sluggish state, but they won Arsenal four-one. This not only greatly boosted the morale of Manchester City, but also left media reporters speechless.

Regarding the team's change, Gao Han said that this is the player's credit.

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

"I definitely have reason to believe that as the league goes deeper, we will perform better and better."

If you win the ball, there are not many topics to hype. The media's concern for Manchester City is not as good as Gao Han, especially the Premier League's best coach just announced the August head coach not long ago, which also won all four games, but Gao Han and Scolari lost to Redknapp.

The media reporter immediately threw this question to Gao Han and asked him about his evaluation of the award.

"I think it's fair. Tottenham Hotspur's four-game winning streak is indeed not easy, with a high value. Redknapp is a very good head coach. I think he deserves the best head coach in August."

But when he said this, Gao Han changed his tone and smiled, "But he should be fine in September."

When the media reporter heard this, he became interested immediately and immediately asked.

"Didn't you always say that coach of the month has a curse? Look, Redknapp just won the coach of August, but he faced Manchester United in the first game in September, so I guess it would be difficult for him to grab it from me again in September."

The media reporters present were all wise, so how could they not hear Gao Han’s implication?

If Gao Han wants to win the best head coach of the month, he must win the two highlights of September.

Now he has defeated Arsenal, and he has won four to one, and he has won beautifully. So it is Manchester United's turn next.

Only by killing Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium will Gao Han be qualified to compete for the best coach of the month.

So soon, a media reporter was hitting a snake and sticking up and asked Gao Han whether Ferguson would be the best coach of September. Gao Han smiled and said he was not worried.

“Their schedule is too busy.”

Manchester City is not affected by European competitions this season. At present, the schedule is only two events in the Premier League and League Cup, while in September, there is only one game in the League Cup.

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

Just imagine, the player had just passed two consecutive weeks of national team competitions. Not only did he run back and forth, but he immediately started a three-line battle. He had two consecutive weeks of double competitions, even the Iron Man couldn't stand it.

Therefore, in this case, the rotation system and the deployment of troops are very important.

On the other hand, after playing Arsenal, Manchester City waited for a week to prepare for the match at Old Trafford Stadium.

Even Gao Han wishes Ferguson had a fight with him now, for fear that the old Manchester United coach would not have time.

However, after dealing with the media, Gao Han invited Wenger to drink in an office at the City Stadium, and the Arsenal coach also revealed a piece of news to Gao Han with malicious intentions.

"In this game, Ferguson was in the stands."

"What?" Gao Han was a little surprised, "Was that old man changed his career to be a spy?"

Wenger laughed, "I guess he is not at ease with scouts and wants to see it with his own eyes."

Gao Han smiled unanimously, but he felt a little confused.

The old man Ferguson's understanding of technology and tactics is indeed far beyond ordinary people. He can often see the problems and disadvantages at the forefront. If he comes to investigate in person, it would be really a problem.

Watching Manchester City beat Arsenal four-to-one in this game, it was full of glory, but in fact, Gao Han knew it was mainly because Wenger's tactics before the game were conservative, and Ferguson would definitely see this.

Manchester City has many problems now and it will take some time.

After all, many things cannot be accomplished overnight, such as the tacit understanding between players.

It will take at least a longer time to make this group of players in the team play passes skillfully and be able to find their teammates to pass the ball with their eyes closed.

"This old man is really not worry-free."

…………

…………

I don’t know if there is really the so-called Premier League coach of the month curse, but Tottenham Hotspur has really come true.

On the second day of Manchester City's four-one victory over Arsenal, Manchester United visited the White Hart Lane Stadium in North London and challenged Tottenham Hotspur away, but lost the goal less than a minute into the game.

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

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

After the halftime break, Redknapp made a substitution adjustment and replaced Palacios, who was injured. However, Manchester United veteran Scholes received two yellow cards in just ten minutes and was sent off the court by the referee's red card.

The sudden blow did not defeat Manchester United. Ferguson made decisive adjustments and replaced the substitute midfielder Carrick in this game, replaced the forward Berbatov, and decisively launched a defensive counterattack, while Redknapp replaced two consecutively to launch an offensive.

The two sides played hard to distinguish in the last half hour, but in the end, Manchester United scored the third goal of Manchester United's game with Fletcher assisting Rooney, and it was also Rooney's fifth goal this season.

In the end, Manchester United stubbornly reversed Tottenham Hotspur 3-1.

But this battle is a terrible victory because Scholes is destined to miss the next Manchester derby.

In the other focus matches of this round, Liverpool beat Burnley four-zero at home, and Chelsea defeated Stoke City 2-1 away. Because Tottenham Hotspur lost at home and Manchester City beat Arsenal four-one, the standings were further ahead and ranked second.
