Chapter 720 The Impact of the Suspension

Chapter 720 Impact of the suspension

Of course, buying a club is not something that can be done with just a few words.

First of all, of course, it is necessary to screen out the teams that meet their requirements and are willing to sell.

That alone might take a few months of work.

The acquisition of a club is actually not a purely commercial act. In Europe, many clubs also assume part of the community responsibility - that is to say, in the eyes of the fans, this club is also their share.

In England's case, many takeovers have come to naught because of opposition from fans.

Therefore, for Gao Bo and Mendes, it may be more beneficial for their acquisition to choose a team with a slightly weaker fan base.

In short, to complete the acquisition of the team, at least until the second half of the year.

Moreover, even if the acquisition is completed, Gao Bo does not intend to coach the team by himself for the time being - he is not enough.

Only one Champions League was won, no triple crowns, let alone six crowns. No, if it is in the Premier League, there is still a League Cup to win, maybe a seven-time crown or something...

......

The national team game days are coming to an end one after another.

Players are gradually returning.

What makes Gao Bo unhappy is that Kaka was re-recruited by the Brazilian national team, and as a result he was injured in a warm-up match.

Fortunately, except for Kaka, other players who went to the national team game were not injured.

On March 5th, in the twenty-eighth round of the league, the team played against Aston Villa away.

Since this game is on the road, Gao Bo, who has been suspended with a red card, cannot enter the stadium - if it is at home, there is probably nothing the FA can do, but if it is on the road, Aston Villa will definitely not give Gao Bo. Provide a place where he can secretly direct the game.

So Gao Bo didn't go to the stadium with the team at all. He watched the game in the hotel.

Many of the team's main players did not play in this game. This is mainly due to the consideration of several players who participated in the national team game.

Griezmann and David Silva both played for 90 minutes during the national team match day, including Kaka's injury. Therefore, this time the team's lineup in the midfield and frontcourt has undergone a certain degree of rotation. .

The starting forward was Vardy and Dzeko, Hazard played on the left, Adam White on the right, and Casemiro, who returned from injury, played Fernandinho in the middle.

Even in the face of such a lineup, Aston Villa at home did not cause too much trouble for Manchester City.

In the first half of the game, Hazard assisted Dzeko to score!

In the second half, Fernandinho sent a straight pass forward, Dzeko headed back and Vardy kept the ball and shot directly! Help the team expand the score! !

After a two-goal lead, Aston Villa basically lost their fighting spirit.

In the final stage of the game, Adam White volleyed from a small angle after a successful pass in the penalty area, locking the score at 3-0! !

Manchester City clinched their first game since Gabor's suspension with a 3-0 away win.

......

The team has a Champions League game at home.

The team ushered in the challenge of Galatasaray. Due to the 3-0 away victory in the first round, Gao Bo also did not send all the main lineup in this game.

The suspension of the league will not affect the Champions League, so this game Gao Bo appeared on the team's coaching bench.

Galatasaray, which has lost its strength at home, is really just a very ordinary Champions League team, and the strength gap between them and Manchester City is very large.

Although Galatasaray once set off an offensive frenzy under the leadership of Sneijder, in the end Griezmann's goal completely woke up Galatasaray's players.

In the second half, Vardy scored another goal to seal the victory.

In the end, Manchester City eliminated Galatasaray with a total score of 5-0 in two rounds and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!

Meanwhile, Guardiola's side lost 1-0 at home to Real Madrid and Manchester United were eliminated.

Chelsea were eliminated by Dortmund, and Arsenal were once again at the feet of Bayern Munich.

In this way, only Manchester City is left with the task of the Champions League among the Premier League teams.

..........

Overall, Manchester City's luck is still good.

In addition to the signing in the FA Cup, Gao Bo's suspension was also included.

The league and the FA Cup are a system of competition, so the red card suspension of the league will also affect the FA Cup.

Manchester City's home game against Championship side Barnsley was included in Gao Bo's suspension.

Manchester City also made a substantial rotation in this game.

In fact, Gao Bo does not intend to use the main players at this stage of the FA Cup.

However, this game is also an important game - after this game won the opponent, Manchester City broke into the FA Cup semi-finals!

In the semi-finals, the FA Cup championship has to be fought for.

Manchester City, who are playing at home, have been very proactive from the very beginning!

Barnsley is also very straightforward. It is an away game anyway, so they put on a defensive posture from the beginning, leaving a striker in front to harass Manchester City's defense.

However, Barnsley's defense only lasted for 20 minutes before being broken by Manchester City!

Denis Suarez got a return pass from Dzeko on the penalty area line and shot with his left foot. The football drew an arc and flew to the goal! !

One to zero! !

After scoring the goal, Manchester City's offense was much better, but the second goal came from a set-piece.

Adam White took the free kick from the left, and he passed the ball into the box!

Central defender Maguire jumped high in the penalty area and headed the ball into the goal!

Shortly after this goal, the first half was over.

After the start of the second half, Barnsley plucked up the courage to attack.

However, Barnsley, who pressed out to attack, can be said to have a thousand holes in the backcourt, and Manchester City can easily get the opportunity to sprint back from the bus.

In the fifty-second minute of the game, the third goal came.

Manchester City launched a long pass after stealing the ball in the backcourt!

Adam White successfully went to the meeting against offside, and when facing the goalkeeper, he calmly pushed with his right foot and sent the ball into the goal! !

This goal completely extinguished the flames of Barnsley's counterattack!

The final score of the game is five to zero!

Dzeko and Vardy scored respectively, the icing on the cake!

After this victory, Manchester City also successfully reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

Maybe it's because the foes don't get together.

In the FA Cup semi-final draw against Chelsea that night, Manchester City played Chelsea at home!

The two teams face off again at the Etihad Stadium.

......

The day after the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals ended, another high-profile draw.

That is the draw for the Champions League.

The eight teams in the quarter-finals are Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, ​​Juventus, and Malaga, who eliminated Porto in the round of 16!

Eight teams are fighting against each other, and of course all the teams hope to draw Malaga.

However, it was Real Madrid who drew Malaga, while Manchester City and Juventus were drawn together.

in other confrontations.

Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain are drawn together, while Bayern Munich and Barcelona meet by a narrow path!

After the draw for the quarter-finals, the game will be played in early April.

When the game schedule appeared, Gao Bo had a headache.

On April 3, the team faced Juventus away.

On April 8, the team ushered in the Manchester derby away - a league title battle.

Then on April 11th, the team is at home against Juventus!

Three hard fights in a row!

.....

The FA Cup is over, and a week later, it's the twenty-ninth round of the league!

Manchester City away to Everton.

Gao Bo was also unable to enter the court in this game.

But this was the last game he was suspended for.

In this game, Manchester City encountered unprecedented difficulties.

In the eleventh minute of the game, Everton scored a goal with a long-range shot from full-back Baines and took the lead!

After that, Everton retreated to play a defensive counterattack.

Without the amplitude of the cards, Manchester City finally suffered their toughest game since the start of the season.

Before the end of the first half, Everton seized a corner kick and Fellaini headed the ball into Manchester City's goal!

Two to zero! !

Manchester City trailed by two goals before the end of the first half!

After the start of the second half, Manchester City dispatched troops and began to strengthen the attack.

However, facing the confident Everton, Manchester City's attack has not been effective.

The minutes passed, and as the game wore on, many Everton fans stood up.

They are likely to be the team that will send Manchester City their first defeat this season! !

"The game has entered the 80th minute! Everton is still two goals ahead!!!!"

Commentator Letkinson is also very excited!

"Manchester City could well suffer their first defeat of the season!!!!"

At this time, across England, Manchester United and Chelsea fans were also celebrating.

They are cheering for Everton! !

Once Manchester City lose this game, Chelsea and Manchester United have a chance to catch up! !

In this round of the league, Manchester United and Chelsea will be played the day after.

The Premier League title race will be even more intense!

Gao Bo in the hotel is also frowning, but he has no other way now.

This damn suspension!

Gao Bo scolded secretly.

On the field, Hazard broke through and won a free kick in the frontcourt.

David Silva and Griezmann stand in front of the ball, ready to take the penalty.

Griezmann faked a run, and David Silva made an arc!

Football comes in from a dead end!

Manchester City pulled a goal back!

However, time is not on Manchester City's side.

At the last moment, Manchester City launched a fierce attack, but it was never able to knock on Everton's goal.

In the end, Everton once again played the role of the Premier League giant killer, and Manchester City suffered their first defeat in the Premier League this season!
