Chapter 842 Champions League Rekindled War

Kaka's goal made Chelsea's players' morale plummet!

Two goals behind, for Chelsea, if you want to beat Manchester City, even if it is an equalizer, it is a very good thing to do.

Then, Gao Bo continued to complete the substitution.

Eriksen replaced Griezmann.

In Gao Bo's view, the game has been sealed, and keeping Griezmann on the field can only increase his risk of injury.

Moreover, Eriksen's passing ability, especially the accuracy of long balls, can be matched with Li Yuanshan's header ability.

When Griezmann came off, he was greeted with cheers and applause from the audience.

"Griezmann was substituted. For Manchester City, this is already a signal for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops!"

"Even against a team like Chelsea, Gao Bo still seems to be able to do it with ease. He let some of the substitutes in the team play to keep it in shape!"

In fact, the substitution on the offensive end may not necessarily mean that Ming Jin withdraws his troops!

Eriksen, who is more physically fit, is also trying to find opportunities to perform after playing! !

In the 73rd minute of the game, Eriksen made a horizontal and precise long pass from the right and found Sanchez!

After Sanchez got the ball, he jumped with the trend and was ready to pick Matic!

As a result, he was knocked down by a direct tackle by Matic!

Manchester City got a set-piece from the left of the frontcourt, and Matic also got a yellow card for this.

This time the free kick almost let Chelsea's goal fall again!

Kompany, who came up to participate in the free-kick attack, raised the ball a little bit higher, hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline!

"Kompany's header!!! Chelsea escaped!!"

"The crossbar!!! The football hit the crossbar!!! Just a little bit!!"

The commentators at the commentary were shouting.

Eighty-two minutes of the game!

Chelsea aggressively pressed the attack and was stolen,

When Kaka took the ball in the middle circle and was about to wipe Matic, he was pulled to the ground by Matic.

Tactical foul!

Yellow card! !

Matic received two yellow cards in less than ten minutes and was sent off with a red card!

And this red card completely destroyed the morale of the Chelsea players.

The next game started to fade away.

Eighty-ninth minute of the game!

Terry put a shovel in the penalty area!

Instead of tackling the ball, he overturned Sanchez!

The referee's whistle sounded!

Penalty! ! !

"PENALTY!! Chelsea awarded a penalty!!"

"Chelsea are going to lose again at the Etihad, and Mourinho is going to lose again to Gao Bo!!"

Kaka stood on the penalty spot, facing Cech standing in front of the goal, easily scored a penalty!

"The penalty kicks in!! Kaka helps Manchester City expand their lead again!!"

"Three to zero!! Kaka scored a penalty kick and scored twice in this game!"

"Manchester City seals victory!!"

In the stands, Manchester City fans also cheered!

Beating Chelsea and reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup is a certainty.

In fact it is.

There were four minutes of injury time and ninety minutes on the ground. Gao Bo used up his last substitution.

Milner came on and replaced Kaka, the goal scorer of the game.

Kaka got the opportunity to enjoy the applause of the fans alone.

In the cheers of the fans, Kaka ran to the sidelines while applauding, and Manchester City completed the substitution.

In the end, Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-0 at home to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

At the draw ceremony after all the FA Cup games in this round, Manchester City's opponent in the quarter-finals was the opponent of last season's FA Cup final, Wigan Athletic who has been relegated from the Premier League to the British Championship!

Maybe it's fate...

But Gao Bo did not pay attention to this fate, because the FA Cup quarter-finals are still two weeks away.

In the week after this FA Cup game, the Champions League games are in full swing!

In the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals this season, Manchester City will face their rivals from the Russian Super League, Zenit St Petersburg.

While Zenit has always been a force to be reckoned with in Russian football, they are not a rich team in the traditional sense.

That changed in 2005, however, when Gazprom bought out a controlling stake in the club. Gazprom is the world's largest natural gas company, accounting for about 17% of global natural gas production and contributing nearly 10% of Russia's GDP at one point.

In the 2007-2008 season, this was the team's most glorious season since its establishment!

Under the leadership of the famous Dutch coach Ed Vokat, Zenit not only won the long-lost Russian league championship, but also dominated the European arena. In the UEFA Cup, they successively eliminated Marseille, Villarreal Football Club , Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and other five major league giants, in the final 2:0 Lectra Glasgow Rangers Football Club, undisputedly won the championship. Among them, the semi-final total score of 5:1 eliminated Bundesliga boss Bayern Munich is a classic, and the 4:0 victory at home was regarded as a shame by Bayern in the European war. After winning the championship, the whole team was received by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and became a national hero. In the European Super Cup in August, Zenit made a big effort, with the goals of Pavel Boglebniak and Danny defeated the then mighty Manchester United 2-1 to win the championship, dominating Europe, Russia in one fell swoop Team coach Hus Hiddink and Russia's richest man Abramovich personally came to the Louis II Stadium to applaud Zenit's great victory. Zenit, who was originally unknown, became a European football upstart overnight. Zenit's golden generation has not only made great achievements in club competitions, but also sent a large number of players to the Russian national team. Zenit players represented by Arshavin were the Russian national men's football team that reached the semi-finals of the European Cup in 2008. 's backbone. Zenit's huge success is also a microcosm of the revival of Russian football.

After this season, Zenit went to a short trough. In the summer of 2010, under the leadership of Roma coach Spalletti, Zenit re-seeed the hope of returning to the Champions League.

In the 2012-2013 season, Zenit, who had entered the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, made crazy signings in the summer transfer window before the season!

The Russian Super League has successively introduced the Brazilian international Hulk Hulk and the Belgian talented midfielder Witsel for 50 million euros and 40 million backyards!

With the addition of these two powerful players, Zenit also broke through the group stage this season and reached the Champions League round of 16.
