Chapter 723 1 Continue to Win to Win the Championship

Chapter 723: Keep winning to win the championship

The three-to-one victory over Juventus in the away game can be said to have brought Gao Bo a sigh of relief.

This means that Manchester City can reserve a little bit in the second leg of the two sides - which is quite beneficial for them to prepare for the Manchester derby.

After this game, the media in England also believed that Manchester City had basically locked a place in the Champions League semi-finals!

This season's Premier League teams are not doing well in the Champions League.

Although all four teams have qualified for the group stage, in the round of 16, the other three Premier League teams except Manchester City have been eliminated one after another, so Manchester City has become the only seedling of the Champions League in the Premier League.

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

The English media, of course, also analyzed Manchester City's Champions League prospects.

After a strong away victory over Juventus, the English media were very 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 can beat the opponent with a score of three to one in the away game, which fully shows the strength of Manchester City now.

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

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

He took Atlético Madrid to the Champions League for the first time and won it!

And now, he is taking Manchester City to the Champions League for the first time, will he also win the championship?

If you reach the semi-finals, then everything is very possible.

In this week's Champions League quarter-final, the most attention is not the match between Manchester City and Juventus, but the match between Bayern Munich and Barcelona at home.

Barcelona devastated away! ! They lost 0-4 to Bayern Munich!

This almost pre-announced Barcelona's exit.

In other matches, Dortmund defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 away! !

The Bundesliga team performed very strongly!

However, there is at least one team in La Liga that can reach the semi-finals - the duel between Real Madrid and Malaga is a civil war in La Liga,

Real Madrid beat Málaga 2-0 at home and it looks like a good chance of progressing.

According to the current situation, the two teams in the Bundesliga are very likely to reach the semi-finals, while the other two places are likely to be Manchester City and Real Madrid.

In this way, there are two Bundesliga teams in the semi-finals!

The German media has begun to look forward to the scene of the two Bundesliga teams reaching the final.

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

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

After the English media briefly reported the Champions League, they shifted their focus to the next Premier League "Battle of Tianwang Mountain"!

Manchester United vs Manchester City!

This is the whole Premier League, the point that all England fans are concerned about! !

Manchester United were eliminated, while Manchester City remained in the Champions League.

Although Manchester City fans ridiculed Manchester United for this, in the eyes of the media, although Manchester United were eliminated from the Champions League, luck and misfortune depended on each other. Elimination also has the advantage of being eliminated. At least Manchester United can relax and wait for Manchester City at home!

Compared to Manchester United, which has rested for a week, Manchester City will be running a lot more.

They first played against Juventus in Turin, and the team general David Silva was also injured. Returning to Manchester from Turin, the team as a whole was in a state of fatigue - this fatigue is not just physical fatigue, high waves of physical fatigue can be solved with physical fitness cards, but this mental fatigue can not be solved.

Therefore, despite the imminent battle, Gao Bo gave the players a day off.

At this stage of the league, it is impossible to come up with anything new tactically. First, the time is too short, and the team is too old to break in. Second, Gao Bo also believes that rash changes before the war are only for the weak. the behavior of.

Manchester City now has a strong mentality, the team is of course up to me, even on the road!

After a full day of rest, the players who participated in the mid-week UEFA Champions League returned to the City Football Academy to practice with the team and prepare for the game on Saturday.

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

He has played against Guardiola many times in La Liga, and the familiarity between the two sides makes it unlikely that he will have some secret weapon or something.

Therefore, in these two days of training, I mainly carried out regular training, and strengthened the training of set-piece scoring and defense.

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 a lot of hype.

Famous players and supporters of both teams stood up and shouted for their respective teams.

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

For example, in the second half of the season, Pogba gradually became the main force.

Pogba almost left Manchester United last season - if not for Ferguson's retirement, he is now at Juventus.

However, the arrival of Guardiola has brought a turning point in Pogba's Manchester United career.

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

In the second half of the season, veterans Scholes and Carrick suffered from 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 the main force, is in high spirits, and he appears very confident in front of the media.

On the Manchester City side, in fact, Manchester City does not have many players like Pogba who like to be in front of the media very much.

Kaka said in an interview that the team is in very good shape and Manchester City will go all out at Old Trafford.

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

"We have enough physical strength to support the two-line battle, the Champions League has little impact on us!"

Gao Bo said.

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

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

"For the "final" of this league"

A reporter stood up to ask something.

Gao Bo interrupted the reporter immediately by speaking.

"This is not a final! There is no so-called final in the league. There are still eight games after this game. Losing any abnormality in them will cause the result to change. So, this is not a final!"

The reporters were stunned, just when they thought that Gao Bo was prepared and muddy to downplay the tension of the game, Gao Bo continued: "If you want to win the championship, you must ensure all subsequent games, just beating Manchester City is not enough. , we have to keep winning, and we will never give the opponent a chance to come back!"

What Gao Bo said clearly and unmistakably expressed his ambitions.

Before the derby in Manchester started, he had already announced in advance that he was the winner!
