Chapter 734

Chapter seven hundred and thirty fourth faint move

In the lavish home team dressing room at Wembley.

When the last player out to warm up came in, the door to the locker room was closed.

After closing the door of the dressing room, the singing outside was still a bit deafening. Today's Wembley Stadium will be full!

This is probably more concerned than the FA Cup final. . . .

Gao Bo thought so.

This is a Manchester City-Chelsea game, and another FA Cup semi-final will be played tomorrow, against Wigan Athletic and Millwall!

The FA Cup is worthy of being a hotbed of unpopularity. A British Championship team from Millwall actually reached the semi-finals, while Wigan Athletic is worried about relegation this season. They are still the deputy squad leader of the Premier League.

On one side is a strong duel, and on the other side is a decisive battle of the dark horses.

No matter which two teams finally meet in the final, the attention of the final will probably not be higher than the current game.

Gao Bo is still writing and drawing on the tactical board. When he is doing this, the players are whispering, lest they disturb him.

Players who are about to play in a while have already hung their jerseys in their respective cabinets, and on the seats, neatly lined with spotlessly brushed sneakers and shin guards.

It's like an army about to go out, their armor has been polished and they are ready to go into battle at any time and go to the battlefield!

Gao Bo turned around and looked at the players.

He didn't speak in a hurry, but waited until everyone was done with the things at hand, and when everyone looked up at him, hoping that he would say something, he cleared his throat.

"Everyone knows how to play this game. We have practiced the tactics of this game many times, and I believe you have a good idea! So, I won't say more about the technical and tactical aspects. There are only a few points that need to be reminded for those of you who do it again.”

Gao Bo raised the index finger of his right hand.

"The first point, don't underestimate the enemy! The opponent is Chelsea. Although we have won them twice, they are still one of the strongest teams in the Premier League. There is a saying that there are only three things, I think, this sentence It must not be imprinted on us!"

"Second point, we need to play our own rhythm, we can't let them disrupt our rhythm. Chelsea will definitely find a way to deal with physical confrontation, they want to play with us in midfield, they want to disrupt the game , it’s a fish in troubled waters, and we have to try to avoid being dragged into such a rhythm by our opponents, our advantage is no longer here! Control the rhythm of the game and let them run away!!”

Although Gao Bo told the team not to underestimate the enemy, he would not say that he would let the team hand over control of the game because of this.

How to play or how to play!

This is confidence, not underestimation.

"There is a third point!! Be careful of Chelsea's set-pieces, try not to give them set-pieces in our danger zone!! With a striker like Drogba who has a very strong impact, we must be very careful not to Make it easy for him to get the ball in the box!!"

Speaking of this, Gao Bo paused for a while, then turned to look at Maguire.

"Harry!! Be sure to keep an eye on Drogba!!"

Maguire nodded quickly, and in this game he once again replaced Colotore in the starting lineup.

In the second half of the season, the sturdy Maguire got more playing time, which is also related to Colo Toure's physical condition.

But defending Drogba, Maguire is still a little nervous, the opponent is a monster...

"Besides that, we need patience! More patience than Chelsea,

The opponent's defense line can't be broken in a while, so even if there is no goal all the time, you can't be in a hurry! ! "

After Gao Bo finished speaking, he looked around at everyone, and then said: "The last point, maintain your self-confidence!! Stay focused!! As long as you step on the court, you can't be distracted and fight until the last second!!"

After Gao Bo waved his hand, the players stood up. Captain Kompany walked to the door, opened the door, and walked out first.

.........

Players from both teams appeared in the tunnel at almost the same time.

And Gao Bo and Mourinho also met in the player channel.

Mourinho directly ignored Gao Bo and walked forward.

Gao Bo also walked out as if he didn't see the opponent.

In the player tunnel, Gao Bo chatted with Kanter for a while, then he touched Kanter's head, then walked out of the player tunnel and walked towards the coach.

"The game is about to start!!! Manchester City and Chelsea meet at the Bernabeu, after this game one team will be eliminated from the FA Cup and the winner will advance to the FA Cup final, while their opponent , it will be Wigan Athletic or Millwall - which means, whether it's Manchester City or Chelsea reaching the FA Cup final, they have a very good chance of winning!" Letkinson said from the commentary.

"Both teams have performed quite strongly in the league, but since Chelsea were double-played by Manchester City in a direct dialogue between the two teams, Chelsea are now four points behind Manchester City and tied with Manchester United in the league. Third place. We can't say that Chelsea has lost the possibility of winning the title, but in the next round of the league, when Chelsea will have a head-to-head dialogue with Manchester United, Manchester City does already have a certain advantage!"

"In the Champions League, Manchester City is much better than Chelsea, Manchester City reached the semi-finals in the Champions League, and their opponent is Bayern Munich, if Manchester City beat Bayern Munich, they will advance to the final, and Chelsea It was directly eliminated by Dortmund in the round of 16."

The commentators are excitedly reducing the two sides of the game to the TV audience!

The head-to-head match between the two Premier League powerhouses in the FA Cup has indeed attracted the attention of many fans.

At this time, the starting lineup of both sides for today's game was also played on the TV screen.

Chelsea have set up a starting lineup of 4231. The goalkeeper Cech, the center back is Gary Cahill and Terry, the right back is Ivanovic, the left back is Azpilicueta, and the two midfielders are It is the partner of Kante and Ramirez. In front of them, the attacking midfielder Lampard, Oscar on the left, Mata on the right, and Drogba in the forward!

After the loss to Manchester City, Mourinho began to look for changes in the squad.

He removed a midfielder and placed Mata, a technical player, in order to seek balance on both ends of the attack and defense.

On the Manchester City side, it is also a configuration of 4231. The starting list is as follows: the goalkeeper is Joe Hart, the back line, the center back combination Kompany partnered with Maguire, the right back Trippier, the left back Cora Rove, the two midfielders are Casemiro and Fernandinho, the midfielder is Kaka, the left midfielder is David Silva who has returned from injury, the right side is Griezmann, and the striker is still Azar! !

"Joe Hart got the start, which is quite a surprise. It is said that Oblak is in good shape, and he has always been the main force of the team. Where's Hart starting?"

The narrators were puzzled.

Mourinho has also been watching Hart.

In his opinion, this may be a trick of Gao Bo...
