Chapter 7 and Nine against Chelsea!
In the draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals that night, Manchester City's opponent was Barnsley, an opponent from the British Championship.
In the FA Cup, Manchester City's signing luck is very good.
It seems that there is no big problem for them to reach the FA Cup semi-finals.
After returning from the away game, Manchester City immediately began to prepare for another game with all their strength.
That is the seventh round of League No.20, the team will face Chelsea at home!
This will be the focus of this round of the league.
The current form of the league is like this. After 26 rounds, Manchester City has 22 wins and four draws, with 21 points to hold the top of the league table, followed by Manchester United and Chelsea. These two teams have the same points and record.
Although Manchester City leads both competitors 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 critical!
Manchester City, who are playing at home, is undoubtedly the favored side.
This is mainly because when the two sides played against each other in the first round of the league, Chelsea lost [-]-[-] 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 the recent state of Manchester City is also quite good, especially Kaka, in the previous two rounds of the league, a hat-trick, a big four, yes, scored 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.
For Chelsea, this is a game that cannot be lost-once Chelsea lose, they will be seven points behind Manchester City!
The score difference of seven points is very difficult to recover.
Therefore, Chelsea should at least strive for an away draw. Of course, it would be best if they could win.
And even if Manchester City loses, it seems that there is still room for relaxation-even if they lose to Chelsea, it will only lead to a smaller lead.
Amidst the turmoil, Mourinho carried forward his usual style.
"It's just four points behind. We still have the opportunity to talk directly with Manchester City. For me, it's just one point behind!!"
Mourinho's implication is that Chelsea will definitely beat Manchester City in the second round of direct confrontation, and he appears confident.
However, Mourinho has always been arrogant, or a dead duck with a stubborn mouth. 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 doesn't know what advantages he has 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 found it funny.
In the pre-match press conference, Kobo hit back at Mourinho.
"I don't know where Mourinho's confidence comes from. No matter what he says, Mourinho has always been my defeat. I think this fact is enough to explain the problem. Sorry, I will refuse to answer this question in the future because it is meaningless."
Gao Bo said it lightly, as if he didn't take Mourinho seriously.
But in fact, he is still very concerned about the war of words initiated by Mourinho.
He wanted to catch a trace of the opponent's tactical arrangement from Mourinho's mouth.
What Mourinho said was arrogant, but it didn't 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 were right, this is a game Chelsea have to win.
If you have to win?What will Chelsea do?
Gao Bo didn't know what Mourinho would do, and he put himself in the role of Chelsea manager.
If it was him, maybe he would think of more ways on the offensive end, but Mourinho's words...
Gao Bo was really not sure.
Everything can only be known in the game.
On February 2rd, the seventh round of the No.23 league!The league is coming to an end, and any loss of points at this time may lead to changes in the form of the league championship.
Before the game, in the locker room of the home team, Gao Bo was making the final tactical arrangements for the game.
"This game is at our home court, so we will take over possession of the game!!"
"Pay attention to their press and counterattack, don't be intercepted easily! Once the ball is lost, immediately launch a counterattack, and would rather foul than let their counterattack come out!!"
Gao Bo emphasized.
Meanwhile, in another dressing room, Mourinho was watching their players.
"This is a crucial game, we can only talk about the league championship if we win!!"
Unlike the arrogance in front of the media, in the locker room, after closing the door, Mourinho still appeared very cautious.
"I'm afraid they won't attack easily. They like to control the ball and slowly look for our flaws!!"
"Don't let them take the ball easily!!"
Mourinho shook his fist.
"Press!! Completely disrupt the rhythm of the game!! Only in this way can we have a chance to win in the chaos!!!"
Mourinho said.
At the same time, at the Etihad Stadium, there are no empty seats at this time! !
The fans of Manchester City cheered loudly in the stands. Before the players from both sides entered the field, the atmosphere of the game was already heated up!
After winning this game, Manchester City will directly kill a competitor for the league title! !
This game naturally made Manchester City fans look forward to it.
Of course, they are also very confident.
After all, judging from the fighting process between the two sides this season, as well as the record of Gao Bo and Mourinho's fighting, Manchester City is undoubtedly the one with the absolute advantage!
In this stadium, the only thing the fans need to do is to celebrate the victory! !
This is the strong confidence Gao Bo brought to Manchester City fans after he took over Manchester City!
Both teams emerged from the locker rooms almost simultaneously.
Gao Bo met Mourinho in the player tunnel, and the camera focused on the two coaches.
It's just that the two didn't have any communication, as if the guy opposite was air.
I don't know when the relationship between Gao Bo and Mourinho has been like this.
The arrogant Mourinho always has no confidence when facing Gao Bo, after all, the madman has never won against this opponent.
So he simply turned a blind eye.
And Gao Bo is not the kind of person who likes to put a hot face on a cold butt.
Therefore, the two head coaches both walked out of the player tunnel with expressionless faces, and each walked to their respective coaches' benches.
The atmosphere at the scene became even more enthusiastic!
From the moment Gao Bo appeared on the field, all the fans stood up, clapped and cheered!
This is the highest courtesy to your head coach!
Although a season has not yet been played, Kobo has not brought any honor to Manchester City.
But he has conquered the fans here!
