Chapter 7 The Importance of Physical Cards
After a slightly easier January, the February schedule has become more intense than ever.
After returning from Istanbul, Manchester City still ushered in an away game!
This is a fifth round match of the FA Cup against Leeds United.
Speaking of Leeds United, Gao Bo has played against this team in both League Two and League One before.Although the opponent can be regarded as a well-known team in England, it is also a hairless Phoenix now. Leeds United, which has been in the low-level leagues all the year round, has no hope of being promoted to the top league.
The FA Cup is actually a bit tasteless for Gao Bo.
It is a pity that it is tasteless.
It is best to win the championship, but Gao Bo does not intend to make the team too involved in this competition. If you consider the league and the Champions League, it is not too difficult to give up the FA Cup.
Therefore, in this game, it is natural for Gao Bo to make a big rotation.
The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart. Since the team has been eliminated from the FA Cup, Joe Hart can only appear in the FA Cup now.
If it is not for special circumstances, Hart is very likely to start in the league.
The former No. [-] goalkeeper of Manchester City has now completely become the No. [-] goalkeeper. Fortunately, his position in the England team is still stable. In England, he is still the main goalkeeper.
In addition to the goalkeeper, the starting central defender combination for today's game is Maguire partner Lightcott, right back Trippier, left back Luke Shaw, and the two midfielders are Casemiro and Barry. On the forward line, the left midfielder Adam White, the right midfielder Milner, the front midfielder Gao Bo simply let the teenager Dennis Suarez play, and the striker is Dzeko!
A very thorough rotation, except for midfielder Casemiro and right back Trippier, most of the other players can only sit on the bench and watch the game.
And Leeds United, which is playing at home, also looks very excited when facing such a lineup of opponents.
However, Gao Bo still has a lot of experience in dealing with English teams like Leeds United.
Manchester City first stabilized their position in the midfield, and then attacked Leeds United's wide gap through two wings. When Leeds United widened the formation, Manchester City's opportunity came.
Game No. 201 minutes, the first goal came.
Milner made a cross from the wing, and Dzeko leaped high in the penalty area with a header and headed the ball to the opposite corner!
Manchester City took the lead! !
After the goal, Manchester City played more calmly.
Before the end of the first half, the teenager Dennis took a long shot from outside the penalty area to help the team win the next game.
Gao Bo is very satisfied with Dennis' performance. This young player is very talented, the only thing he lacks is the game experience.After Gao Bo saw this goal, he had already included Dennis in the stable substitute list.
After one or two seasons of polishing, I believe Dennis will become a very useful frontcourt attacker.
With the passage of time, Gao Bo's "travel bonus period" has gradually passed.
Buying those famous players of later generations is a road, but this road will always get narrower and narrower. Therefore, Gao Bo has already begun to plan for a rainy day.
After the intermission, Manchester City, which led by two goals, played more calmly.
Leeds United, who played at home, was kicked by Manchester City without temper.
If this game ends like this, it will undoubtedly be a very perfect game.
However, due to unexpected events, when Casemiro sat on the grass with his hands on his thighs, Gao Bo began to curse his mother.
This is in a situation where there is no confrontation, Casemiro feels discomfort in his thigh.
This situation is the worst, because if there is a fierce confrontation, there is a high probability that it will be a flawed injury, which is very painful, but not necessarily serious.
But suddenly feeling unwell in such a non-confrontational situation can be fatal.
The possibility of muscle tear and strain is very high. Once this kind of injury is injured, it takes two weeks of rest.
Some time ago, the team experienced a short wave of injuries, and now it has just entered the intensive schedule area, and the wave of injuries is coming again!
The team doctor rushed into the field to check on Casemiro, then stood up solemnly and gestured towards the coach's bench for a substitution.
Casemiro's situation is not too optimistic!
With the help of the team doctor, Casemiro limped out of the field.
Gao Bo hugged and comforted Brazil Iron Waist.
"The specific situation should go to the hospital for a detailed examination."
Facing Gao Bo's questioning gaze, the team doctor hastily replied.
Gao Bo nodded. Injuries are inevitable.
In fact, Gao Bo's team's injury situation is already very good compared to other Premier League teams.
Injuries are not only caused by fierce confrontation, but the bigger reason is that the continuous and intensive schedule causes muscle fatigue, and tired muscles can easily be strained or torn.
The Gaobo physical card is required for every game. In this way, the physical energy consumption of Manchester City players is much less than that of other teams. A game may not be a big deal, but in the long run, the cumulative effect will be considerable.
Not many Manchester City players have been injured this season.
Hazard suffered a major injury. In addition, Eriksson, David Silva and other players also had injuries. Kolo Touré once contracted a bad cold, but he did not miss the team's game, but only missed a few days of training.
Therefore, in terms of horizontal comparison, Manchester City's injury situation is almost the most optimistic among the top teams in the Premier League.
So from this perspective, many media also believe that Manchester City is "extremely champion-like" this season.
Few injuries, stable record.
These two points are undoubtedly very important for a long league marathon-like campaign.
And now that the team has entered the second half of the schedule, even if there is a physical card, fatigue injuries like Casemiro's are unavoidable.
"The future rotation plan can be bolder!"
Gao Bo thought to himself.
In fact, in this game, he hesitated for a while whether to let Casemiro or Fernandinho play the starting lineup.
But there is no regret medicine in this world that you can take.
Casemiro was substituted and Fernandinho came on.
The dynamic of the game hasn't changed much either.
In the second minute of game No.80, Adam White cut inside and scored the team's third goal.
Another three to zero! !
Manchester City eventually defeated Leeds United [-]-[-] and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.
