The Carabao Cup didn't make much of a splash on England's side.

But as far away as China, the news of the game has been going on for nearly a week.

Of course, none of this had any effect on Gao Bo.

On the third day after the Carabao Cup tie, Manchester City welcomed the sixth round of the league against Aston Villa.

The game went well overall.

They took a two-goal lead in the first half before Jamie Vardy added another in the second half to seal the win.

But towards the end of the game, a shot from outside Aston Villa was on the edge of Hazard's hand.

While awarding a penalty to Aston Villa, the referee also believed that Vardy had deliberately handballed the ball and showed him a yellow card.

This was Vardy's second yellow card in the game – he was booked for a tactical foul in the first half, and in doing so, Vardy was shown two yellow cards.

As a result, he will need to be suspended for the next round of the Premier League.

......

"Damn it!!" Gao Bo on the sidelines scolded very depressedly.

Four days after City's 3-1 win at Aston Villa, City host CSKA Moscow in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

Manchester City host CSKA Moscow at the Etihad Stadium.

It was only ten minutes into the game, and Hazard, who started the game, was put down from behind by the opponent in a scramble and was injured!

The team doctor immediately entered the field to check Hazard for a while, and after asking Hazard some information, he made a substitution gesture to the sidelines: Hazard can't hold on to the game and needs to be replaced!

Gao Bo complained twice, and he looked at the bench.

He immediately sent Vardy to warm up.

City made a substitution in the 11th minute, with Jamie Vardy coming off the bench to replace the injured Eden Hazard.

"How's it going?" Gao Bo asked the team doctor.

"Luck is not bad, it's better than expected, there are no big injuries!" "But we won't be able to play in the league at the weekend. ”

Gao Bo nodded, but he missed one game with an injury, which was still within the range of what he could accept.

.......

Manchester City scored in the 21st minute of the game!

David Silva crosses the middle from the side, Sanchez rushes forward and hits!

CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Akinfeev made a brilliant save, and although he touched the ball, he still couldn't organize the ball into the net.

It is worth mentioning that the last time the Russian international kept a clean sheet in the Champions League was seven years ago, in November 2006, in the Champions League group stage match, the opponent was Arsenal, the two sides played 0-0, after that, Akinfeev has an iron law that he must concede goals in the Champions League games.

This time is not unexpected.

"Akinfeev conceded a goal again, and as long as he played in the Champions League, CSKA Moscow had the attribute of conceding a goal.." England commentator Rentkinson quipped.

With the team taking the lead, Gobo began to feel better about the impact of Eden Hazard's injury.

City's second goal came in the 43rd minute of the match!

Manchester City played a brilliant combination up front, and finally it was Antoine Griezmann's burst of effort from inside the box that helped the team extend the score again!

The goal of the handle of Russian goalkeeper Akinfeev has been pierced again!

Two to zero!

Manchester City have a two-goal lead!

.....

"This is Manchester City! They are incomparably strong, CSKA Moscow then they can't do anything at all! ”

"This is the first time the two teams have met in a European competition and Manchester City are expected to get a win against the Russian side!"

With a two-goal lead, Gao Bo sat in the coach's seat with a relaxed expression on his face.

A team like CSKA Moscow can't pose much of a threat to Manchester City at the moment.

At the end of the first half, there were no substitutions for either side at the start of the second half.

Manchester City, on the other hand, scored again in the 73rd minute of the game!

Griezmann crosses in the penalty area, and the ball hits the defender's hand!

Penalty kick!

"Penalty!! Manchester City were awarded a penalty!! ”

"Antoine Griezmann has a chance to help City extend the score!"

Manchester City's penalty taker is Antoine Griezmann!

The French teenager stood at the penalty spot, the referee's whistle blew, Griezmann ran and volleyed into the right side of the goal!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”

"Three to zero!! Manchester City sealed the win, CSKA Moscow did not cause any problems for Manchester City, for CSKA Moscow, Manchester City's strength is too strong! ”

Indeed, CSKA Moscow played very hard against a formidable Manchester City.

In the face of Manchester City's attack, CSKA Moscow's defence was often completely unable to contend with each other.

In the 80th minute of the game, Manchester City scored another goal!

A corner kick opportunity, Kompany pressed the defender, a powerful header, and once again blasted the goal of CSKA Moscow!

"Four to zero! Manchester City slaughtered CSKA Moscow! ”

"Manchester City at home is like a rainbow! They gave the home fans a feast of goals! ”

After Manchester City took the lead, it seemed that the referee was a little unbearable.

Five minutes later, the referee showed Umtiti a yellow card due to a foul on Umtiti!

Umtiti accumulates two yellow cards and is sent off!

This penalty caused Gao Bo to be strongly dissatisfied, if Umtiti had to be shown a yellow card for this action, then the foul that caused Vardy's injury in the first half, the defender of CSKA Moscow should have been sent off with a straight red card!

But that time the referee didn't get any cards!

Gao Bo found it and the fourth official protested, but the fourth official only asked Gao Bo to respect the referee's decision.

Faced with such a penalty, Gao Bo could only sarcastically say: "What a sympathetic referee!" ”

He believes that this is the referee's care for CSKA Moscow, who are trailing by a large score.

Finally, in this game, Manchester City beat CSKA Moscow 4-0 at home!

Six points from two wins in the Champions League group stage are the same as Bayern's current two wins.

In the post-match press conference, Gao Bo was very unhappy with the referee's final red card to Umtiti.

Even if he has to be punished by UEFA, Gao Bo has to stand up for his players.

In the end, of course, Gao Bo also received a warning from UEFA, and there was also a fine.

Of course, fines are not an issue for City, as long as they are not suspended by the manager.

And Gao Bo, of course, did not focus on this.

Jamie Vardy is injured due to Eden Hazard's suspension!

In the position of center forward, Manchester City actually has a small employment crisis.

Now the team only has Li Yuanshan as a full-fledged center.

Whether to let the young Li Yuanshan start against a team like Everton, or let Antoine Griezmann or Sanchez play as a central striker.

Gao Bo was caught up in thinking about how to choose.
