Chapter 723 can only win the championship if you keep winning

Defeating Juventus 3-1 away from home can be said to have made Gao Bo greatly relieved.

This means that City can hold on to a bit in the second leg – which would be a good fit for their preparation for the derby in Manchester.

And after this game, the media in England also believed that Manchester City had basically locked a place in the Champions League semifinals!

This season's Premier League teams have not performed well in the Champions League.

Although all four teams qualified from the group, in the round of 16, the other three Premier League teams except Manchester City were eliminated one after another, so Manchester City became the Premier League's only Champions League seed.

You know, before that, Manchester City had never played in the knockout round of the Champions League.

The English media have certainly analysed Manchester City's Champions League prospects.

After a strong away win over Juventus, the English media are optimistic about Manchester City's Champions League prospects.

On the one hand, Juventus is also a giant in Europe, and the other side is still the leader of Serie A. Manchester City's ability to beat their opponents 3-1 away from home speaks volumes about the quality of Manchester City at the moment.

On the other hand, Gao Bo's team has been doing well in European competitions.

He took Luton Town to the Europa League for the first time and won the title!

He took Atletico Madrid to the Champions League for the first time and won the championship!

And now, it is the first time he has led Manchester City to the Champions League, will he also win the title?

If you make it to the semi-finals, everything is very likely.

In this week's Champions League quarter-finals, the most interesting thing is not the matchup between Manchester City and Juventus, but Bayern Munich's home game against Barcelona.

Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat away from home!! They lost 4-0 to Bayern Munich!

This almost declared Barcelona's exit in advance.

Elsewhere, Borussia Dortmund beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 away!!

The Bundesliga team is very strong!

However, there is at least one team in La Liga that can reach the semi-finals – the clash between Real Madrid and Malaga is a civil battle in La Liga, with Real Madrid beating Malaga 2-0 at home looking very likely to progress.

As things stand, the two Bundesliga teams have a very good chance of reaching the last four, while the other two places are likely to be Manchester City and Real Madrid.

In this way, there are two Bundesliga teams in the top four!

The German media is already looking forward to the final of the Bundesliga.

In terms of La Liga, the Catalan media believes that Barcelona is not out yet! Although they have lost by four goals, anything is possible at the Camp Nou.

Gao Bo did not pay attention to the international media reports about the Champions League.

And after the English media briefly reported on the Champions League match, they shifted their focus to the next Premier League's "Battle of Tianwang Mountain"!

Manchester United hosts Manchester City!

This is the inspection that the whole Premier League, all England fans pay attention to!!

Manchester United were knocked out of the competition, while Manchester City remained in the Champions League.

Although Manchester City fans ridiculed Manchester United with this, in the eyes of the media, although Manchester United was eliminated from the Champions League, but blessings and misfortunes depend, and elimination also has the benefit of being eliminated, at least Manchester United can wait for Manchester City at home!

Compared to Manchester United, who have rested for a week, Manchester City has to run a lot more.

They played Juventus in Turin, where big man David Silva was injured. Returning to Manchester from Turin, the team as a whole is in a state of fatigue - this fatigue is not only physical fatigue, physical fatigue can be solved with a fitness card, but this psychological fatigue cannot be solved.

Therefore, although the big game is imminent, Gao Bo still gave the players a day off.

At this stage of the league, it is unlikely that there will be anything new in terms of tactics - first, the time is too short, and the team is too old to run in, and second, Gao Bo also believes that rash changes before the big war are the behavior of the weak.

Manchester City now have a strong mentality, of course the team is up to me, even if it's away!

After a well-rested day, the players who participated in the midweek Champions League returned to City Football Academy to train with the squad for Saturday's game.

Gao Bo is all too familiar with Pep Guardiola's opponent.

He played against Pep Guardiola many times when he was in La Liga, and the familiarity of the two sides also made it unlikely that he would have some secret weapons or anything.

Therefore, in these two days of training, the main training was carried out regularly, and the training of scoring and defending from set-pieces was strengthened.

At the same time, because this game is very likely to determine the ownership of the league championship this season, the media before the game is also hot.

The celebrities and supporters of the two teams stood up to shout for their respective teams, and the war of words became more and more intense.

........

Before the game, the media wanted to interview the players from both sides.

For example, in the second half of the season, Pogba gradually played the main team.

Paul Pogba came close to leaving Manchester United last season – if it weren't for Alex Ferguson's retirement, he would now be at Juventus.

However, Pep Guardiola's arrival has brought a turnaround to Pogba's Manchester United career.

Pep Guardiola still admires players like Pogba, so he has given Pogba a lot of opportunities this season.

In the second half of the season, veterans Paul Scholes and Carrick also had injuries from time to time, which allowed Pogba to slowly seize the opportunity and become the main force of the team.

"We will fight for the honor of the team!! We are hungry for the championship!! ”

Pogba, who has become a main force, is in high spirits, and he looks very confident in front of the media.

On Manchester City's side, there are not many players like Pogba who like to show off in front of the media.

Kaka said in an interview that the team is in very good form at the moment and that Manchester City will give it their all at Old Trafford.

.......

In the pre-match press conference, many media outlets asked about City's fitness.

"We have enough fitness to play on two fronts and the Champions League doesn't affect us much!"

Gao Bo said.

He was telling the truth, after a day's rest and more than four days of the Champions League and Manchester derby, there was enough time for City to adjust.

However, many media think that this is Gao Bo's bluff.

"For this league final" ....... "

A reporter stood up to ask something.

Gao Bo immediately interrupted the reporter by speaking.

"This is not the final! There is no such thing as a final in the league, there are eight games left after this game, and losing any of them will change the result. So, this is not the final! ”

The reporters paused for a moment, and just when they thought that Gao Bo was ready to dilute the tension of this game, Gao Bo continued: "If you want to win the championship, you must ensure that you win all the games in the future, it is not enough to beat Manchester City, we have to win all the time, and we will never give the opponent a chance to turn the tables!" ”

Gao Bo's words are unmistakable and unmistakable about his ambition.

Before the derby in Manchester even began, he had already declared himself the winner in advance!
