Chapter 709 Against Chelsea!

Chapter 709 Against Chelsea!

In the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals that night, Manchester City drew Barnsley, an opponent from the British Championship.

In the FA Cup, Manchester City's signing luck is very good.

It looks like they won't have much of a problem reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.

After returning from the away game, Manchester City immediately began to prepare for another game.

That is the twenty-seventh round of the league, the team faces Chelsea at home!

This will be the focus of this round of the league.

The current format of the league is like this. After the 26th round, Manchester City won 22 and drew 4. They won 70 points and held the top of the league table, followed by Manchester United and Chelsea. The two teams have the same points. And the record is the same, they are all 21 wins, three draws and two losses, with 66 points, ranking second and third in the league.

Although Manchester City leads the two rivals by four points, with more than a dozen rounds left in the league, no one dares to say that Manchester City will definitely win the championship.

Therefore, this game against Chelsea is very important!

Manchester City, who are playing at home, is undoubtedly the favored party.

This is mainly because when the two sides met in the first leg of the league, Chelsea lost 2-4 at home to Manchester City. After a winter transfer window, Manchester City has become stronger. They have introduced superstars like Kaka, while Chelsea, the winter transfer window has not moved much.

And Manchester City's state is also quite good recently, especially Kaka. In the first two rounds of the league, a hat-trick, a big four, ah, seven goals in two games, the barrel of the Premier League is hot ! In addition, Manchester City is playing at home, so it is normal for the outside world to be optimistic.

And for Chelsea, this is a game that cannot be lost. Once Chelsea lose, they are seven points behind Manchester City!

The score gap of seven points is difficult to recover.

Therefore, Chelsea should at least fight for an away draw, and of course it would be best if they could win.

And even if Manchester City lose, it seems that there is still room for relaxation. Even if they lose to Chelsea, it is only a narrower lead.

Amidst the turmoil,

Mourinho has carried forward his usual style.

"It's only four points behind, we still have a chance to talk directly with Manchester City, and for me, it's only one point behind!!"

Mourinho's implication is that Chelsea can definitely beat Manchester City in the second leg of a direct confrontation, and he appears confident.

However, Mourinho has always been arrogant, or a dead duck, even if he has never won Gao Bo, he will not show weakness.

The media also agreed that Mourinho was arrogant.

Does he think Chelsea can beat Manchester City away?

This is so ridiculous.

Mourinho has never won a direct dialogue with Gao Bo, and he is not aware of his superiority in front of Gao Bo?

Now that Gao Bo's Manchester City is ranked first in the league, Mourinho's words are particularly funny.

For Mourinho's provocation, Gao Bo himself felt amused.

At the pre-match press conference, Gao Bo hit back at Mourinho.

"I don't know where Mourinho's confidence comes from. No matter what he says, Mourinho has always been my underdog. I think this fact is enough to explain the problem. Sorry, I will refuse to answer this question in the future, because It makes no sense."

Gao Bo said it lightly, as if he completely ignored Mourinho.

But in fact, he is still very concerned about the war of words that Mourinho took the initiative to set off.

He wanted to capture the slightest hints of the opponent's tactical arrangements from Mourinho's mouth.

Mourinho said arrogance, but it did not make Gao Bo have any mood swings.

This is just a trick of the opponent, and this trick is useless to Gao Bo.

The media are right, this is a game Chelsea have to win.

If you have to win? What will Chelsea do?

Gaubo didn't know what Mourinho would do, he put himself in the role of Chelsea manager.

If it was him, maybe he would think more offensively, but Mourinho's words

Gao Bo is really not sure.

Everything can only be known in the game.

On February 23, the twenty-seventh round of the league! The league is drawing to a close, and any loss of points at this time could lead to a change in the format of the title race.

Before the game, in the home team's locker room, Gao Bo was making the final tactical arrangements for the game.

"This game is at our home, so we'll take over possession of the game!!"

"Pay attention to their pressing and counterattacks, don't be easily stolen! Once you lose the ball, immediately start a counterattack, it is better to foul than to let their counterattack hit!!"

Gao Bo emphasized.

Meanwhile, in another dressing room, Mourinho was watching their players.

"This is a crucial game, and if we win, we can talk about the league championship!!"

Unlike the arrogance in front of the media, in the dressing room, after closing the door, Mourinho still seemed very cautious.

"I'm afraid they won't attack easily. They like to control the ball and slowly find our flaws!!"

"Don't let them take the ball easily!!"

Mourinho waved his fist.

"Crush!! Completely disrupt the rhythm of the game!! This way we have a chance to win in chaos!!!"

Mourinho said.

At the same time, at the Etihad Stadium, the seats are already full! !

The fans of Manchester City cheered loudly in the stands. The players from both sides have not yet entered the field, and the atmosphere of the game has already warmed up!

Win this game and Manchester City will directly kill a rival for the league title! !

The match naturally made Manchester City fans look forward to it.

Of course, they are also very confident.

After all, judging from the course of the game between the two sides this season, as well as the record of Gao Bo and Mourinho, Manchester City is undoubtedly the one with the absolute advantage!

In this stadium, the only thing the fans need to do is celebrate the victory! !

This is the strong confidence that Gao Bo has brought to Manchester City fans after he entered Manchester City!

Both teams came out of the locker room at about the same time.

Gao Bo met Mourinho in the player tunnel, and the camera was aimed at the two coaches.

It's just that the two didn't have any communication, as if the guy on the opposite side was air.

I don't know since when, the relationship between Gao Bo and Mourinho is like this.

The arrogant Mourinho always has no confidence in the face of Gao Bo, after all, the madman has never won this opponent.

So he simply turned a blind eye.

And Gao Bo is not the kind of person who likes a hot face and a cold butt.

Therefore, the two head coaches walked out of the player tunnel with no expression on their faces, and went to their respective coaches' seats.

The atmosphere at the scene became more lively!

From the moment Gao Bo appeared on the court, all the fans at the scene stood up, applauded and cheered!

This is the highest courtesy to your own head coach!

Despite not finishing a season, Gao Bo has yet to bring any honours to Manchester City.

But he has conquered the fans here!
