Chapter 858： Perfectionists and promotion

Eliminating Wigan Athletic is not worth a big book for Manchester City.

They haven't lost a ball this season yet!

Although in England, in addition to Manchester City fans, other fans are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Manchester City's loss.

Even if there is no suspense about the Premier League championship this season, people still hope that Manchester City can lose as soon as possible!

A team that has always won, to the opponents of this league, is like a 10,000-meter-high mountain, pressed in the heart, making everyone breathless!

It's just that when Manchester City has been winning, everyone has nothing to say.

Regardless of whether the media are sincere or against their intentions, or with ghostly flattery, in short, the media are all exclaims about Manchester City!

When the English media once again exclaimed for Manchester City's victory.

Manchester City players have boarded the flight to Russia! !

March 13th, St. Petersburg Stadium!

In this huge stadium that can accommodate more than 68,000 people, there are no shortage of Russian seats! !

Even if he fell behind by one to four in the first leg, Zenit St. Petersburg did not give up his last hope!

The harsh environment of Russia!

The noise made by nearly 70,000 fans at the scene!

All this has brought a lot of pressure to Manchester City!

And now! !

The cheers of this stadium have resounded across the sky! !

because!

Zenit St Petersburg scored! !

In the 28th minute of the game! !

The Brazilian international, the Hulk Hulk, used his body in the frontcourt to drive Wanyama who had a chance to start the game. Then he exploded with his left foot and the football screamed into the goal! !

"Hulk!!!!!!!!!!!"

At the stadium! !

The DJ on the scene roared! !

In the commentary booth, the commentator from Russia was also very excited! !

"Beautiful!!! A beautiful goal!!! The Hulk!!! A shocking long shot!!!"

"One to zero!!! Zenit is leading at home!!! The total score becomes two to four!!! Zenit is only two goals behind!!! And they still have away goals!!! By scoring two more goals, Zenit will be able to perform miracles!!!"

The face of the Russian narrator was almost distorted! ! !

"This is Russia!!! This is Russia!!! Let the British know that no one can beat the Russians on Russian soil!!! No one!!!"

Russia is a country where chauvinism is very rampant.

This country has a very strong sense of nationalism and national pride!

For most Russians who can only drink cheap vodka, they will be very satisfied as long as their country can yell five and six out and be able to exist as a colorful Chinese New Year.

And this is also true in football.

They are very proud of Russia's harsh climate.

They like to watch those European giants from the west deflate here.

They enjoy it so much.

It is no wonder that football, at a certain time, also reflects the nationality of a certain nation.

At this time, after the goal, Hulk ran back holding the football!

The Brazilian also waved his fists at the stands, which continued to stimulate the cheers of the fans! !

With more than 70,000 people cheering and clamoring, the decibels are indeed huge.

Gao Bo didn't have much reaction from the sidelines. Losing the ball on the away field was not a fall in the sky.

Although he must admit, Hulk scored a beautiful goal.

Great momentum!

In other words.... The force is very heavy! !

Hulk’s shooting power is one of the best among professional football players in the world! !

The high magnification camera fully recorded how much power Hulk had at the moment he just shot the goal-his instep was almost completely wrapped in football! An angry football was raised with a depression that went completely in!

This terrifying shooting power can be imagined.

In this game, Manchester City also made a certain rotation.

On the back line, Maguire partnered with Umtiti. The left and right backs were also replaced by Luke Shaw and Sabaletta. The forward was Vardy. At the forward line, Sanchez, Griezman, David Silva's three main players are all on the stage, and in the midfield, it is Wanyama and Fernandinho's partner.

Letting Fernandinho play, of course, is also considering that he used to play in Ukraine. The Ukrainian climate is slightly similar to Russia. He is more adapted to the factors of the Russian side.

With a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, it is normal to lose goals in an away game like Russia.

Gao Bo did not think that his team would be overturned, he did not even leave his seat on the coaching bench.

He believes that his players will know how to do it.

Thousands of training, isn't it just to deal with the current situation?

Gao Bo sat on the coach's bench with no expression and motionless state, which was directly interpreted by the Russian commentator as arrogant!

"The Manchester City coach has no reaction at all, maybe he thinks that his team is already in the quarterfinals!! Zenit players, you must come up with something to give the Chinese a little bit of color. !!!"

The audience of Russian narrators is naturally Russian, so he is not worried at all that he will be complained.

Russian fans will love what he said! !

However, Manchester City clearly disappointed the Russian fans.

On the court, Manchester City's players communicate with each other.

Wanyama patted his chest and said that this ball was his pot, and he failed to hold Hulk-to some extent, he should underestimate the enemy.

After all, the opponent is just a player in the Russian league.

The physical fitness of the Hulk beast also brought him a goal.

The Manchester City frontcourt players are discussing offensive matters.

Before this loss, Manchester City actually took the initiative on the field. They controlled the situation and frequently created offensives.

They are just one goal away now.

After losing the ball, the Manchester City players were not panicked.

They seem very indifferent.

This is a sign of Manchester City's maturity.

Gao Bo's team has undoubtedly become a real team that is constantly harvesting championships! !

In the next game, Manchester City still played unhurriedly!

They mobilized Zenit's players with passes.

Russian players are very strong and are very good at using their bodies to fight.

But when it comes to the technology at their feet, they are relatively rough.

When they tried to fight with their bodies, the football was already in the frontcourt. Even if Zenit's players wanted to find someone, they couldn't find anyone to fight for a while! !

Manchester City performed very calmly!

The thirty-third minute of the game!

David Silva crossed from the right to the back point! !

Vardy scored a header and the football hit the side net! ! !

There was an exclamation in the stands! !

The Russian almost thought that the goal was scored.

Vardy, who failed to get the ball in, was very upset!

He patted the lawn on the ground vigorously, but in the end he did not forget to give a thumbs up to David Silva at the far end.

The ball did not score, but the situation on the field has not changed.

The thirty-fifth minute of the game.

Manchester City's offense is back! !

Griezmann got the ball straight ahead of the penalty area to find Vardy! !

Vardy moved flexibly and shot a shot after a successful counter offside! !

Zenit's goalkeeper almost instinctively raised his hand to block the ball out of the baseline!

"Danger!!! They must not be allowed to continue to attack like this. Zenit needs some counterattacks to suppress the arrogance of Manchester City!"

The Russian narrator has lost the excitement he had before, and instead has a look of worry.

On the other side, Sky Sports commentator Letkinson was very excited: "Vardy's performance is very active, Manchester City is getting closer and closer to the goal!!!"

Letkinson just finished speaking!

Manchester City's attack is here again! ! !

After Sanchez made a breakthrough with the ball from the side, the ball was crossed into the penalty area! !

The defender of Zenit St. Petersburg blocked the ball! !

At the penalty zone line, Griezmann shot hard! !

The football flies to the goal against the turf! !

The goalkeeper fell to the ground and threw the ball with one palm! !

This is the limit the goalkeeper can do! !

And this next time, he has no choice! !

Vardy, like a cheetah, rushed to the goal and shot the ball into the net! !

One to one! !

"Valdy!!!"

"Man City equalized the score!!!"

"Before the end of the first half, Zenit failed to defend Manchester City's mad attack after all!!!"

The commentators said one after another.

The Russian commentator also looked a little frustrated: "Zenit's defense has a big problem at this moment. The goalkeeper's save did not send the ball to the bottom line, but kept the football in the penalty area."

In fact, the goalkeeper is good enough to be able to pounce, and it would be too difficult to expect the goalkeeper to control precisely.

Rather than criticizing the goalkeeper, it would be better to say that Zenit's defensive system was completely broken at this moment...

In the stands, Zenit's fans also looked a little frustrated.

Gao Bo finally got up from his seat, and after applauding his disciple's performance, he sat back on the coach's bench.

Winning a Zenit is not worth the high wave reaction too much.

What's more, it's just an equalizer now.

After Manchester City scored this goal, the first half of the game was almost over.

The two sides entered the intermission with a score of one to one.

Fifteen minutes later, the two teams reappeared on the court.

Neither party changed! !

At the beginning of the game, Zenit wanted to make a wave of attacks. However, under the strong control of Manchester City, Zenit failed to attack and was counterattacked by Manchester City!

Fernandinho's precise long pass hit behind Zenit's defense! !

The weakness of the tall Russian defender's slow turning around is fully revealed at this moment! !

Vardy kicked the ground with both feet!

Fast! !

Successfully reverse offside, dribble the ball straight!

When the goalkeeper attacked, Vardy seemed very selfless, he passed the ball directly to the left! !

Sanchez has already followed over there!

Facing the empty goal of Novo, the Chilean star will not let it go! !

He easily pushed and the football scored! !

One to two! !

Manchester City overtake the score! ! ! !

"Sanchez easily sent the ball into the empty goal. The score in this game became one to two, and the total score became six to two! Manchester City led Zenit St. Petersburg by four goals, and they also scored two away goals. , If Zenit St. Petersburg still has a theoretical chance to advance, they need to score more than five goals, and they can't make Manchester City score a goal-this is basically impossible! Let alone Zenit St. Petersburg With such a team, even if the best team is selected among all the professional players in the world except Manchester City, it is impossible to complete this task!"

"Man City reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, there is no suspense at all!!!"

"Before, Gao Bo declared that his team will win all the championships. Although most people do not believe that Manchester City can do this, it is undeniable that they are moving towards this goal!!!"

The commentators said one after another! !

On the sidelines, Gao Bo finally reacted slightly more intensely than before!

He stood up with his fists!

He waved his arms on the sidelines and hugged the coaching staff who rushed up.

After the celebration, Gao Bo was still on the sidelines.

His hand gestures kept gesturing, and then he pointed his head with his fingers, indicating that the players should not be careless and continue to stay focused!

"Many head coaches are perfectionists. There is no doubt that Gao Bo is such a perfectionist. There is no suspense about his team's promotion, but he still appears very serious, as if it is not his team now. Leading!"

Commentator Letkinson teased.

After Gao Bo did these actions, he returned to the coaching bench.

He just asked his players not to relax, not to relax.

No matter who the opponent is, he hopes his team can take the game seriously and take every game seriously.

This is Gao Bo's request.

Because, in football games, you often die from underestimating the enemy and die from carelessness.

Gao Bo will not allow his team to die in such a low-level mistake.

The game restarted, and Manchester City did not intend to take back and fight back.

Zenit St. Petersburg is not yet qualified to let Manchester City take the initiative to fight back!

The game continues to be at the feet of Manchester City.

But Zenit's movements are getting bigger.

In the Russian Super League, rough moves abound.

However, it is the Champions League now!

When the referee went down with a few yellow cards, Zenit's actions had to converge.

Gao Bo also chose to substitute.

He wants to replace several of his main players so that they can get a rest.

The next schedule can be regarded as a very dense death schedule for Manchester City.

The physical fitness of the main players must be guaranteed!

Li Yuanshan was the first to get the chance to play.

He came off the bench in the 67th minute of the game!

After he played, he was set at the forefront, while Vardy was slightly behind as a shadow forward.

Such adjustments quickly yielded goals!

Right defender Sabaletta crossed from the right to the penalty area!

Li Yuanshan easily took advantage of the card slot to occupy a favorable position!

Then he carried Zenit's central defender with a strong body, leaped high and headed the goal! !

After the football was blocked by the goalkeeper, it happened to land at the foot of Li Yuanshan Li Yuanshan kicked the ball into the goal very simply! !

One to three! !

Manchester City continue to expand the score! !

"Pretty!!! After coming off the bench, the Chinese teenager performed very well! His heading ability is very obvious when facing the Russian team. His advantages in position and strength make him relaxed. Got a chance to win a point!"

"The goalkeeper's performance is already good enough. He saved the header that Li Yuanshan is bound to win for the first time, but facing the opponent's next supplementary shot, he has nothing to do!"

In the 83rd minute of the game, Adam White, who came off the bench, shot inside the penalty area!

One to four! !

This is also the score after the end of the game.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Zenit St. Petersburg with a total score of 8 to 2 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
