Chapter 656 Reassurance

Gao Bo naturally wants to win this game, or at least this game cannot be lost.

Although the first and second in the group are all qualified, the treatment in the draw is very different. Gao Bo does not want to meet the popular teams of the Champions League in the round of 16.

Therefore, in order to get the first place in the group, the first thing to do is not to lose to Real Madrid.

Of course, Gao Bo's bottom line is that he can't lose, and he can accept a draw, but of course this can't be said to the players.

Before the start of the game, Gao Bo has always emphasized that to win at home, to seal the first place in the group with a victory!

Of course, there are many ways to win, and now Manchester City has a very big advantage, and Gao Bo can't afford to play against Real Madrid at home.

He intends to still use the tactics of the away game against Real Madrid. The schedule is dense these days, and the team has entered a relatively fatigued morale. Moreover, it is about to enter the Premier League express season in December. Even if Gao Bo has a physical fitness card, he cannot squander the ball at will. Team fitness.

In a situation where it can be easier, he will not make players pay more physical price.

Anyway, Real Madrid must attack, Manchester City can accept a draw, but Real Madrid can't.

Therefore, it is good for Manchester City to play a good counter-attack.

Use static braking, attack backwards, and reduce the consumption of players as much as possible.

Ancelotti can of course guess this, so in preparation for the game, in addition to emphasizing the offensive aspect, what he cares most about is the containment of Manchester City's counterattack points.

"Even at the cost of fouling, Hazard and Griezmann cannot be easily rushed!"

Ancelotti said this before the players came out.

.....

The Etihad Stadium was brightly lit, and under the deafening cheers of the fans, the sound seemed to make the lights tremble!

It's just that Manchester City has not scored a goal now. Manchester City fans are so excited that Khedira received a red card in less than ten minutes of the game!

Yes! !

Khedira accumulated two yellow cards and was expelled by a red card!

"Faced with Hazard's breakthrough, Khedira slowed down! His foot tripped Hazard!!! Yellow card!! The referee rudely showed him a second yellow card, before that , for a tactical foul on Griezmann, he has already received a yellow card! As a result, Khedira was sent off with a red card!!"

"In less than ten minutes of the game, there were major changes on the court. Khedira received a red card, and ten players from Real Madrid on the road challenged!"

"Khedira and Real Madrid's players surrounded the referee, Khedira kept begging, but it didn't work! This is two tactical fouls! Facing Manchester City's counterattack, Real Madrid has had several times. Foul, except Khedira, Ozil and Xavi Alonso got yellow cards!!"

The narrators talked a lot, while Gao Bo was smiling and high-fiveing ​​with his assistants.

"Nice job, Aiden!!"

Gao Bo gave a thumbs up to Hazard on the court.

At the beginning of the game, Real Madrid did not hesitate to use fouls to prevent Manchester City's counterattack.

When Khedira received the yellow card, Gao Bo asked Hazard and Griezmann to take the ball to hit Khedira. The moment he stretched his feet, he seemed to have forgotten that he already had a yellow card on his back!

The current situation could not be better for Manchester City.

No matter how Real Madrid adjusts,

They were all missing one person on the field.

Manchester City continue to stick to their counter-attack strategy, and if Real Madrid is to attack, they have to draw people from the back, which makes their defense even weaker.

Gao Bo is also not worried that Real Madrid will not attack - Real Madrid will definitely not be reconciled to the second place in the group.

........

Ancelotti looked at the somewhat chaotic situation on the field.

He knew that Real Madrid was basically cold in this game.

Manchester City made up their minds to defend, and Real Madrid, who played one less player, had more difficulty breaking through the opponent's defense.

From the two games against Manchester City, Ancelotti can clearly feel the difference between this Manchester City and last season's Manchester City. They have a pressing defense in the midfield, the two lines of defense are linked to each other, and the space is blocked.

All this made Ancelotti see the shadow of Italian football, and this is also the defensive style of Gao Bo's team, from Luton to Atletico Madrid, to Manchester City.

The head coach from China must have done a very thorough study of the Italian defense in order for his team to organize such a defense.

And if you want to break through such a defensive system, even with eleven players, it is very difficult for Real Madrid in its peak state, not to mention Real Madrid with one less player now?

.....

In fact, the same is true. In the 23rd minute of the game, Manchester City's counterattack came!

Real Madrid was intercepted by Manchester City midfielder.

Casemiro and Milner surrounded Ozil, causing Ozil to pass the ball incorrectly, and David Silva successfully intercepted the ball.

After that, he quickly passed the ball to the front. After Khedira came off, Real Madrid's midfield defense could only count on the last team commander, Xavi Alonso!

How could Xavi Alonso take care of such a wide court alone?

David Silva's pass went to the other side, where Griezmann took the ball and went straight to the defender!

Griezmann cut in, Hazard moved diagonally.

The pass is just right!

Hazard turned and crossed the ball to the other end, and Griezmann also reached the ball! The quick counterattack made it too late for Real Madrid's defense to react!

Casillas swooped in, but how could he keep up with Hazard's passing speed?

Therefore, Casillas in the air can only watch the football that flew into the goal in despair!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! Griezmann!!!! Antoine Griezmann!!!!"

Letkinson, the commentator of Sky TV in England, let out a long roar, penetrating from the TV screen!

In front of the TV, all the Manchester City fans jumped up!

They cheered!

In the stands, everyone hugged each other and only shouted "Ow".

In a bar in Manchester, the sky-blue Manchester City fans held their glasses high, and the wine in the glass was scattered into the air, as if the whole Manchester was full of this delightful aroma.

Isn't it the first in the group... what's the big deal...

Many Manchester United fans pouted in disdain.

Indeed, qualifying from the Champions League group is nothing to Manchester United. They have always been strong contenders in the Champions League. They are just qualifying from the group, no big deal.

But this is not the case for Manchester City. Every breakthrough they make in the Champions League is a historic breakthrough!

Group out.

Group first...

Even...reached the quarterfinals!

Manchester City fans watched the players celebrate on the pitch and looked forward to the team's future in the Champions League this season.

And this goal also gave them a reassurance.

The team leads by one goal, and one more player is kicked, the game is stable!
