Chapter 739: The Triple Crown?
"They're going to be replaced!"
Moya reminded Gao Bo, who was sitting in the coach's seat.
Gao Bo turned his head to look, and then shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
"Looks like our old friend is going back to his old routine!"
Jose Mourinho has stepped up his defense!
This is something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
'Chelsea ask for substitutions!!' Mikel stood on the sidelines, and the player he was going to replace was..... Mata!! ”
"Mikel replaces Juan Mata!!"
Mata also saw the substitution on the sidelines.
He shook his head slightly, looking a little helpless.
He hasn't played enough, and he feels fit. Although the team is under a lot of pressure on the defensive end, the score is still only 1-1, at this time, replace the attacker and replace the defensive player, do you really want to rely on defense to survive this game?
Juan Mata has a penchant for the game and he has not started much this season, especially against a team as Manchester City, and Mourinho has rarely fielded four attacking players as he did today.
However, Juan Mata is not a thorn in the pan, he is a very cultured professional footballer, and he does not lose his temper on the pitch.
Despite his bad mood, he quickly ran off the pitch, high-fived Mikel, and then took a bench after a brief handshake with Jose Mourinho.
........
Chelsea made a substitution and they quickly shrunk back.
This did not come as a surprise to Gao Bo, who continued to ask the team to step up their attack.
In the sixty-ninth minute of the game, Manchester City had formed a suppression of Chelsea, and a siege of Manchester City was formed on the field!
However, Gao Bo also knows that this is the opponent's initiative to give up the space in the midfield and hoard troops in the penalty area.
Now it's time for Manchester City to gnaw at Chelsea's bucket!
Kaka picked up the ball on the edge of the box and he had just tried a shot on goal, only to have the ball bounce off the defender and bounce back and be controlled by Kaka again.
He played the ball wide and David Silva was ready to collide with Hazard once, he passed the ball into the box, Hazard gently pushed the arch of his foot, David Silva was ready to cut in, and the ball was protected by Gary Cahill!
A minute later, City's attack was back in action.
Kaka went straight and Hazard barely held the ball in the box, but the Chelsea defense in the box was so dense that Hazard had to pass the ball to Antoine Griezmann on the wing.
Griezmann also took the ball in the face of multiple opponents, and he could only continue to pass the ball back to Kieran Trippier.
City had to play the ball from the back again to the front.
In the face of Chelsea's iron formation, it was difficult for Manchester City to pass the ball into the box through a pass - the box was too crowded!
Faced with such a situation, Manchester City increased the speed of the pass!
Constant one-kick pass in the front court, constant cross-switching!
"Manchester City's offense is dazzling, and their coordination in the aura is very tacit!!"
Commentator Lightkinson exclaimed.
Chelsea fans were nervous because City had the absolute advantage on the pitch.
In the seventy-fifth minute of the game, after a series of passes, David Silva sent a straight kick forward!
Kaka inserted into the penalty area and was about to shoot straight at goal, but Kante rushed up and he fell straight to the ground!
Tackle in the box! Kante is also a daring artist.
This time Kante's tackle was very successful, he shoveled the ball off the line and defused the crisis!
In the 79th minute, Chelsea made their second substitution.
Terry came on and replaced Oscar!
Chelsea's formation became 541!!
At this stage, Gao Bo has already guessed Mourinho's intentions.
You know, even if there is a draw in 90 minutes, there will still be extra time, and Mourinho also threw out his second substitution card at this time, the purpose is obvious!
Jose Mourinho is rushing to extra-time!
Gao Bo looked at Mourinho strangely.
Does the Portuguese think his side can bargain for anything in extra time?
'Does Jose Mourinho want to take a penalty?'
Moya muttered.
And Gao Bo's heart was suddenly shocked!
Moya's complaint made Gao Bo suddenly remember.
It's definitely something Mourinho did!!
This Portuguese, he can definitely do such a thing!
All tactical arrangements, all rushed .... Draw goes to !!
Gao Bo sounded a sentence.
Mourinho didn't want to win a game and never lost!!
The current scene fits this description very well.
Chelsea's defence is not watertight, but when Mourinho continues to stuff people into the box, it will be extremely difficult for any team in the world to break down the direction of Chelsea, who have completely abandoned attacking.
"You're right! Moya!! Gao Bo gritted his teeth!
"That guy is going for a penalty! It must be so!! Damn it!!! ”
Gao Bo got up from his seat and came to the sidelines.
After looking at it for a while, he immediately said to Moya, "Let Barry go and warm up!" ”
Mo Ya was stunned for a moment: "If you strengthen the attack, shouldn't you replace it with a striker?" ”
Gao Bo smiled: "The other party has too many people in the penalty area!" Let's change Barry to go up.... I've got my own way! ”
He looked back into the field.
At this time, Chelsea seemed to have put a wall in front of his own goal, Gao Bo looked at this strong wall, and watched Manchester City try to penetrate again and again, but again and again to no avail.
He opened up the card system, and he was still a short distance away from leveling up.
The season is over or it's okay....
Gao Bo looked at the card slot, in addition to the long pass card for Hart in this game, he also equipped the physical card, as well as the speed card for Kaka, and the remaining two card slots were two blue cards:
[Match Card (Blue): Counterattack Success Rate increased by 15%]
[Match Card (Blue): Interception success rate increased by 15%]
When Chelsea are looking to attack, these two cards can still make a difference.
But now Chelsea are putting on a turtle shell and don't think about counter-attacking or anything.
There are not too many ways to attack the iron bucket formation in the world.
The set-piece is a move, and on top of that, it's a long-range shot!
Gao Bo changes to a long-range card!
[Match Card (Orange): The pass success rate within 15 meters of the front court is increased by 50%, and the long-range shooting rate is increased by 15%! 】
In addition to this card, he also equipped Barry with a long-range card!
Barry's shot was powerful, but not so accurate.
When he finished warming up and was ready to play, Gao Bo stood beside Barry: "Go up to two tasks, one is defense, pay attention to the control of the second landing point!" The second .... Long shot!! ”
"Long shot?" Barry paused for a moment.
"That's right! Long Shot !! ”
Gao Bo smiled, then pushed Barry to the sideline.
"Tell everyone to shoot when you have a chance when you go up!! It doesn't matter if there's anyone in front of you, just shoot towards the goal!!! ”
Gao Bo explained.
Increase the hit rate by 15 percent, and as long as the number of shots goes up, there will always be a reward. What's more, now Chelsea are taking the initiative to cede midfield, which provides good conditions for Manchester City's long-range shooting tactics.
Anyway, the Chelsea players are all in the box, and the City players have plenty of opportunities to shoot from the outside.
......
There is no problem with the tactical execution of Manchester City's players!
When Barry came on the pitch and passed on Gao Bo's explanation to every Manchester City player, Manchester City's tactics immediately changed!!
Antoine Griezmann and David Silva are not looking to penetrate the ball into the box!
In the eighty-first minute of the game, Kaka tried a long-range shot from outside the box, and the football hit Gary Cahill and went out of the line.
Chelsea didn't realise at this point that their opponents had changed, and when City's tactical corner came out, David Silva crossed the ball down the middle, and this time it was Barry who had the shot!!
Barry's strong shooting power makes his long-range shots very tough!
This time he was a powerful volley after a run-up!
With a bang, the football was almost deformed by his kick!
The ball is moving towards the goal!
However, the goal did not test Cech either, as the ball hit Azpilicueta in the chest.
The Spanish defender only felt a suffocation in his chest, and then hurriedly kicked the ball off the sideline, rubbing his chest to adjust his breathing.
Barry's shot almost left Azpilicueta frustrated..... You can imagine the power of this shot.
'City tried two long-range shots, but there were so many people in the box that it would be difficult for City to test Petr Cech from the periphery. Now Chelsea are on full defence and they look like they're heading for extra time!! ”
Commentator Lightkinson said.
Mourinho thought the same thing, he didn't underestimate Gao Bo, but he really didn't see what it meant for Gao Bo to let his team force a long-range shot like this.
......
However, when City's long-range shots began to increase, Mourinho discovered... Manchester City's long-range threat has Chelsea on guard!
After Barry's shot, City soon had a third attempt from distance.
Kaka comes with a kick and the ball passes between the players!
If it weren't for Petr's timely reaction, I'm afraid this long-range shot would have gone straight into the net!!
Soon, Antoine Griezmann also came with a shot on goal!
His volley hit a lift ball!
Fortunately, Cech was in a reasonable position and lifted the ball off the line with one hand.
David Silva is also starting to try to shoot on the perimeter!
His shot bounced off Ivanovic's foot and into the box, where Eden Hazard came close to making a chance to make up the shot, if it hadn't been for the astute N'Golo Kante who had cleared the ball first.
'Chelsea were very passive during this period, they shrank inside the box, but City's long-range shots from the outside were creating chances!'
'Cech had a couple of saves again, but Mourinho probably didn't want to see that. The only good news for Chelsea may be that the game is in the 85th minute, less than 10 minutes to go!! ”
The commentators also took a look at where Chelsea are now.
If these few minutes continue to allow Manchester City to shoot so recklessly, it may be really difficult for Chelsea's goal to resist such a precise shot from Manchester City in the last few minutes.
"Do Manchester City have a lot of long-range training in their usual training?"
Mourinho muttered inwardly.
Although he still couldn't figure out why City's long-range shot was so accurate. If one or two players are good at shooting from distance, then he can also make targeted defensive arrangements.
But now Manchester City seem to have turned every player up front into a long-range shooter.
Kaka, Antoine Griezmann and David Silva were on target, Barry tried two shots and one saved Cech.
Even Casemiro and Fernandinho behind them came up to try their shots, and they were all eight or nine.
In the face of such a group of "heavy gunners", it is indeed difficult for Chelsea to have a good solution.
Mourinho had no choice but to let his players push out when the opponent shot from distance, and block the angle of the Manchester City player's shot as much as possible!!
In the 86th minute, when Barry picked up the ball, Frank Lampard rushed up.
Barry passes the ball out!
This made Gao Bo on the sidelines yell at him: "Shoot!! Barry!! Shoot me!!!! It doesn't matter who they are!! ”
If there was more time for the game, Gao Bo would not mind letting the team be patient and organize, but now that the game time is getting less and less, the team has no time to waste!!
Griezmann faithfully executed Gobo's tactics, and when Barry passed the ball to his feet, Griezmann took his left foot, ignored Ramirez, who rushed up, and volleyed hard!!
Bang!!!!!!
This is the sound of a football smashing in Ramirez's face!
One can even clearly see the blood flying from Ramirez's nostrils!!
Oh.....
Both Manchester City and Chelsea fans let out an exclamation.
Afterwards, the Chelsea fans applauded Ramirez's bravery.
"Oh!!! Ramirez.... He choked enough, and Griezmann's shot hit him in the face! ”
Ramirez tilted his head, and after the football hit him in the face, he went out of the sideline, and the team doctor also hurried to stop the bleeding for Ramirez.
The game continues!
The episode didn't change City's long-range tactics, and Chelsea lived up to their reputation as Jose Mourinho's side were brave!!
In the face of Manchester City's powerful volley, their players bravely pounced and used their bodies to block the gun's hole!!
"David Lewis!! Oh!!!! He fought for his life!!!! ”
Kante !! Shot blocked again!!!! ”
'Chelsea players are like walls that move!! They bravely rammed the muzzle of the gun into Manchester City!! ”
Azpilicueta was also shot in the face and also had a nosebleed. The brutality of this game is astounding!! ”
Chelsea's players are truly brave, so brave that even Gobo is in awe.
However, not every Chelsea player is a tough guy.....
In the 89th minute of the game, the fourth official on the sidelines was ready to raise the sign for injury time.
Kaka bounced off Mikel with a long-range shot from the middle before Antoine Griezmann took the ball down.
Antoine Griezmann flicked the ball and volleyed hard!
Oscar rushed up, he jumped to his feet, and then prepared to use his back to block Griezmann's shot.
It's really smart because then it doesn't hurt so much to hit him on the back .... However, when Oscar turned his back, he could not observe Griezmann's movements behind him.
A player as smart as Antoine Griezmann, even if Gao Bo doesn't make it clear, he understands the manager's tactical intentions.
The purpose of the long-range shot is not to attack the Chelsea players, but to score!
When Oscar turned his back, Griezmann immediately pushed with his left foot and wiped past Oscar!
The other Chelsea players didn't react for a while, and Griezmann, who had already dribbled to the penalty line, was really going to shoot this time!!
He had already adjusted his pace and pumped the ball with his left foot!
The soccer ball soars into the air and falls quickly after reaching the highest point!
Elevator Ball !!!
Petr Cech was the first Chelsea player to spot Griezmann's intentions.
But even if he had already reacted in advance, it would have been useless!!
Griezmann pulled out an absolute dead end!
The ball flew into the goal from the corner of the left post and the crossbar!!!
.......
"Griezmann's Shot ......" At first, the commentators didn't take it seriously, and they thought that Griezmann's shot might end up hitting Oscar's back again.
But when Griezmann passed by Oscar, they realized that the situation was different from what they had imagined.
"Shot !!!!!"
This time it was a real shot!!
Soccer ball rushes to the goal!!
While Cech was still moving, the ball was already whizzing into the back of the net.
He looked at the football behind him in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his goal had been breached.
Even more incredulous than him were the Chelsea fans and other players, as well as Jose Mourinho.
When he saw the goal, Mourinho's head roared.
The calculation of dragging the game into extra time fell through.
Chelsea failed to defend against Manchester City's attack after all.
Eighty-nine minutes of conceding a goal, there is no worse moment.
Time left for Chelsea, all that's left... The last four minutes.
At the same time as Antoine Griezmann's goal, the fourth official on the sidelines also held up a sign and gave four minutes of stoppage time.
.....
Gao Bo jumped up from his position!
The stone in my heart has fallen to the ground!!
It's a much better game now, and then Chelsea have to press out and attack, and they don't have much time left.
Gao Bo turned to celebrate with his assistants hugging each other.
On the other hand, Chelsea are already making substitutions.
Mourinho had previously planned to use the remaining two substitutions for extra time, but now it seems that if he does not use the two substitutions now, I am afraid that he will not have a chance.
Demba Ba and Torres!
Two centre-forwards are ready to come on and they need to replace Ramirez and David Luiz respectively!!
In the last few minutes, Chelsea are all or nothing!!
When Chelsea made a substitution, Gao Bo was ready to make a substitution.
Zabaleta stood on the sidelines and when Frank Lampard fired a long-range shot over the crossbar, Zabaleta replaced Kaka!
Manchester City step up defensively!
"The game has entered the 91st minute, and after conceding the goal, Chelsea have changed two strikers, but Manchester City have reacted quickly, Gao Bo has replaced Zabaleta, replaced a defender, and strengthened the defense!"
It is true that Zabaleta was brought on to strengthen the depth of the defence, but in fact, City's more effective defence was... Possession of the ball.
In midfield, Antoine Griezmann and David Silva were the duo of threading the needle, and the impatient Chelsea players inevitably moved up when they came up to scramble.
In the 92nd minute of the game, Mikel directly knocked over Barry with a grab, and the referee awarded Mikel a foul.
Chelsea are not arguing either, time is not on their side at the moment.
Barry slowly got up, then rubbed for a moment before he kicked the ball out.
Manchester City continued to possess the ball in midfield.
When Chelsea were whistled for a foul again.
The Chelsea fans in the stands booed, while the City crowd cheered.
The game entered the ninety-third minute!
"There's still one last minute!! Manchester City are about to reach the FA Cup final!! ”
David Silva stood up and just when people thought he was going to keep delaying a little longer, he suddenly shoved the ball forward!
Hazard !!!!! It's not offside!!!!! ”
David Silva gets the ball off the way!!
Eden Hazard successfully countered offside and took the ball into the box!!
Despite the slight angle, Hazard tried to get a volley from a tight angle!
Petr Cech blocked it with his foot and the ball was out of the line!!
The cheers in the stands boiled!!
Manchester City fans have stood up!!
"Corner!! The last minute of the game!! Manchester City won a corner!!!! ”
Griezmann came to the corner flag area slowly!
By this time, four minutes of stoppage time had passed!!
All of the City's players shrunk back into the half, leaving Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann in front.
The Chelsea players pressed on the ball, with four Chelsea players ready to snatch the ball in hopes of launching a final attack.
Antoine Griezmann passes the ball to Hazard!
Eden Hazard spreads his arms and uses the touchline and baseline to protect the ball!
Four Chelsea players rushed up before Hazard's astute heel bumped and the ball was passed to Antoine Griezmann who had entered the pitch from the touchline!
Antoine Griezmann took the ball down the middle, and instead of taking it to goal, he was ready to dribble to the other side for the Chelsea players to chase him.
But at this time, the referee Oliver looked at his watch, and then blew the whistle for the end of the game!!
"The game is over!! End of the game!! At Wembley Stadium, Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-1 to reach the FA Cup final!!!!!!! ”
On the field, Antoine Griezmann kicked the ball away, then raised his arms and rushed to the center of the pitch!!
At this time, the players on the bench were already boiling, and they rushed into the field with cheers!
The stands at Wembley Stadium have also become a sea of cheers for Manchester City fans!!
The camera locks on to Gao Bo!!
On the TV screen, the Manchester City manager clenched his fists and waved them in front of his chest!
Then he was hugged by the excited Manchester City coaches!!
"Gao Bo led his team to the FA Cup final!! Congratulations!! Congratulations Manchester City!! ”
In CCTV's broadcast hall, Duan Xuan suppressed his excitement and said.
"Gobo has won a strong conversation again in his team, he is always very good at playing strong teams!! This is true at Atletico Madrid, but it is also true at Manchester City!! ”
'Manchester City are now leading the league, reaching the FA Cup final and the Champions League semi-finals. Perhaps we can expect Gao Bo to lead his team to a historic treble!! ”
Duan Xuan said!
And the same thing has been said by many commentators.
The Triple Crown?
Will Manchester City be able to achieve that this season?
