Chapter 733 This Is a Promise
Chapter 733 This is a promise
Bayern Munich is undoubtedly a very tough opponent, but at this stage of the Champions League semi-finals, I am afraid that there will be no fish-belly team.
The teams that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League are basically the strongest teams in Europe.
Bayern Munich is not good to play? Are Dortmund and Real Madrid just as good?
Many media believe that Dortmund is the "belly" in the semi-finals, but Gao Bo actually knows Klopp's team very well.
Now this Dortmund team is the pinnacle of Dortmund created by Klopp. They have won the Bundesliga championship for two consecutive years. Their strength must not be underestimated. In the original history, Dortmund reached the final this season.
And.... if Real Madrid doesn't cheer up and take Dortmund seriously, I'm afraid Klopp's team will give Real Madrid a lot of "surprises".
On the other hand, Manchester City played against Bayern Munich.
This game is generally considered to be a close match, and of course, some German media believe that this is a chance for Bayern Munich's "revenge".
What they call revenge is the thing that Gao Bo stole the Champions League title from Bayern Munich last season.
The German newspaper Bild believes in a report that Bayern Munich is more likely to advance to the final than Manchester City.
They listed several points: "First of all, Bayern Munich has far more experience in the Champions League than Manchester City. Manchester City this season is the first time to qualify for the Champions League group stage, the first time to play the Champions League knockout, the first time to enter the Champions League quarter-finals, At the same time, it is also the first time that they have entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. Although Manchester City is strong, they lack the experience of the Champions League! And Bayern Munich, they are a super giant with four Champions League trophies, they have an advantage psychologically, and the head coach of Manchester City It's Gao Bo - the players of Bayern Munich know what kind of painful memories Gao Bo brought them last season, so the players of Bayern Munich will definitely do their best to fight for their lives!"
On the England side, the English media also believe that Gao Bo has a psychological advantage in dealing with Bayern Munich, and Manchester City will not be afraid of Bayern Munich! !
The media on both sides are cheering for their respective teams.
On the Manchester City side, Gao Bo did not pay too much attention to the news in the media.
Because after the team played the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, they are about to usher in an important cup match-the semi-final against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
Before the game, the coaches of both sides were very low-key.
On Mourinho's side, it was because he was double-killed by Gao Bo this season, so he rarely took the initiative to pick things up.
On Gao Bo's side, the last few games, whether it's the Champions League or the league game against Manchester United, are more important than this FA Cup semi-final.
The league title and the Champions League title, these two titles are the goals that Gao Bo has locked in.
In the FA Cup, before entering the semi-finals, Gao Bo used the bench to play.
Moreover, he also made a promise to Hart - even if it is to play in the final, he will start Hart in the FA Cup, and this game will be no exception.
However, because the opponent is Chelsea, Gao Bo decided to play the main force in this game - mainly because the team sent a substitute in the second leg against Juventus, plus this game After that, the team's next game is five days later, the 32nd round of the league against Wigan Athletic, and the rest time is still enough.
......
Manchester City travelled to London a day early.
Although Manchester City drew the home team in the draw, it doesn't make much sense - it just means,
They can just wear their light blue home team jersey during the game. And the location of the game is at Wembley!
After entering the semi-finals, the venue of the FA Cup will be arranged in a neutral stadium.
On the morning of the game, the team stomped on the field at Wembley.
After lunch, the team began their lunch break.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, under the leadership of the fitness coach, the team carried out some simple physical training in the gym of the hotel where they stayed to keep the players' bodies excited.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, after a brief dinner, the team set off from the hotel to Wembley Stadium.
On the bus, the atmosphere was quite cheerful.
Although Chelsea is not a weak team, but this season in the league, Manchester City is a double kill Chelsea, therefore, the players did not appear too nervous when facing Chelsea.
Many people are still laughing and chatting with their teammates.
When the team's bus drove out of the hotel, countless Manchester City fans had gathered on the roadside.
Although the venue is at the Bernabeu, in London, Wembley is a neutral stadium, with Manchester City and Chelsea getting the same number of votes.
Therefore, today's game, Manchester City and Chelsea fans can be described as evenly matched!
The fans were already waiting by the roadside, applauding and cheering as they approached the bus - and, of course, Chelsea fans booing and giving their middle finger to the Manchester City bus.
......
The hotel where the team lived was not very far from Wembley Stadium. About ten minutes later, Wembley's Rainbow Bridge appeared in front of Gao Bo.
Gao Bo looked at Wembley Stadium. After three years, he led the team to this England's national stadium again.
Familiarity arises spontaneously.
For Gao Bo, the English FA Cup is his first important championship, and his memory will of course be deeper.
The stadium is still the same stadium.
The Rainbow Bridge spans the stadium, majestic and spectacular.
In the square in front of the stadium, the fans of the two teams began to orderly and regularly, singing their own songs and waving their own flags.
The picture of the huge crowd is intertwined with the prelude to the imminent war.
But Gao Bo didn't feel nervous at all - this was just the semi-final of the FA Cup, and this level of competition was not enough for Gao Bo to feel nervous.
But his blood was still excited.
It's a passion for football.
Every game, will go all out enthusiasm.
He looked at the field expectantly.
"We're going to have a good game here."
Gao Bo suddenly turned his head and said to Moya.
Moya was stunned: "We will beat Chelsea, right?"
In fact, the members of the coaching staff are not as confident as Gao Bo, including Moya. This was mainly due to differences in the coaching staff before the game.
Many coaches believe that since they have entered the semi-finals and the opponent is still a team like Chelsea, then Oblak should be made to start. After all, Oblak is the team's main goalkeeper this season. And Hart has played too little this season, he
But Gao Bo resisted the opposition and decided to keep his promise and let Hart start - which is also a reward for Hart's decision to stay in the team in the winter transfer window.
Although intellectually, perhaps Oblak would be more appropriate.
But Gao Bo believes that the unity of the team is also a very important thing. Since he has made a commitment, he will not change it easily.
Behind the car, Hart looked out the window with mixed eyes.
When the bus slowly entered the parking lot of the stadium and stopped slowly.
The wind at Wembley Stadium seemed to be blowing too.
War is imminent!
