Chapter 740 Rehearsal of the FA Cup Final

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho looked gloomy after the loss.

"The way they played at the end was a disgrace to football, they even deliberately kicked our players!! They did anything to win!!"

Mourinho complained at a press conference.

And the reporters off the field are silently complaining. If you want to say unscrupulous, you Mourinho can be regarded as the number one...

And when Gao Bo came up, he did not justify this issue: "When they indented the penalty area, we can only strengthen long-range shots, everything is within the scope allowed by the rules."

"Manchester City has reached the final of the FA Cup, the Champions League has also entered the semi-finals, and the league is currently leading by four points. Does Manchester City have a chance to win the treble this season?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

"certainly!"

Gao Bo's unequivocal answer made everyone stunned.

According to the normal routine, Gao Bo should not be humble, saying that Manchester City has not got anything yet, and everything will be seen after the end of the season.

"Of course we have a chance to win the treble, we have no reason to give up any of them!!"

Gao Bo emphasized.

.....

Manchester City's goal: Triple Crown! 》

Gao Bo: Of course we have a chance to win the Triple Crown! 》

"Manchester City manager: We have no reason to give up any title! 》

After the game, the media headlined City's ambitions.

"Triple Crown!! After defeating Chelsea and reaching the FA Cup final, Manchester City's manager Gao Bo directly announced the team's goal! League! Champions League! FA Cup!! Manchester City is moving towards the goal of the Triple Crown! !"

"Can Manchester City win the treble? We can't say for sure right now, but it is undoubtedly possible for them to achieve this goal. After Manchester United achieved the treble in 1999, there may be another team. England team, accomplish this!!"

The media were buzzing about Gao Bo's ambitions.

After the FA Cup semi-final, Gao Bo gave the players a day off.

The first morning after the holiday.

When the players walked into the training ground talking and laughing, Moya asked worriedly: "Aren't you worried that after you say this, we will be targeted by many teams?"

Gao Bo shook his head while sorting out the training plan in his hand and said: "Do you think that if we don't say that, others will not target us? We are now the elephants in the league. No matter how we hide, we will attract the attention of others. Rather than that, it is better to point it out directly and boost the morale of the team.”

Gao Bo pointed to the players who were walking into the training ground: "We just need to give these lads enough confidence and we can win everything!"

WIN EVERYTHING!

Moya smacked his lips and looked at Gao Bo with admiration.

Ability and ambition!

Gao Bo was born to be a good head coach.

......

The team quickly assembled at the training ground.

This is in preparation for the 32nd round of the league at home in three days.

Manchester City will host Wigan Athletic.

While Manchester City's players enjoyed a short break, another FA Cup semi-final was over.

Wigan Athletic beat Millwall 3-2 at Wembley Stadium to reach the FA Cup final.

Manchester City's opponent in the final is Wigan Athletic.

After the FA Cup, in the league, the two teams quickly met again.

Therefore, this game is also seen by many media as a preview of the FA Cup final!

But in Gao Bo's mind, this game was not linked to the FA Cup final. This round of the league is very crucial for Manchester City.

Manchester City and Wigan Athletic match on April 18th, April 19th is the battle between Chelsea and Manchester United!

For Manchester City, as long as they win at home first, then they can sit back and watch the game between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Regardless of the outcome of the match between Chelsea and Manchester United, Manchester City will be able to profit.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Manchester City can beat Wigan Athletic at home.

......

Before the game, Wigan Athletic's Spanish coach Martinez said in an interview: "Manchester City are advancing for their triple crown goal, and we are fighting for survival!"

Yes, Wigan Athletic really need to fight to stay in the Premier League.

After the 30 rounds of the league, Wigan Athletic scored 27 points, surpassing Reddingla in the standings, and ranked 19th in the league - that is, the penultimate place.

Eighteenth in the league is Queens Park Rangers with 27 points, ahead of Wigan Athletic on goal difference.

After the 30th round of the league, Wigan Athletic are still struggling in the relegation zone, and the teams near the relegation zone are actually very dangerous. Aston Villa and Sunderland both scored 29 points, splitting the first. Sixteenth and seventeenth, Newcastle in fifteenth place is only 30 points.

By the end of the season, the battle between the relegation teams was fierce.

"We know that the Premier League relegation situation is at its most intense, but we will not be afraid of the relegation team, we are Manchester City, and our goal is the Premier League champion!"

At the pre-match press conference, Gao Bo said.

....

Of course, Gao Bo's words can naturally inspire Manchester City's players, but it can also be used by other teams to make a fuss.

Martinez is like that.

Before the game, in the visiting team's dressing room at the Etihad Stadium, Martinez made a generous statement.

"Guys!! Last six games!! Every point counts for us!!"

"Look what their head coach said before the game? He's underestimating us and every player here!!"

"They want to win the title and we need to stay out!! They think Manchester City can ignore us, but we have to rip a piece of meat out of them!!"

Wounded beasts are the most dangerous, and it is no exaggeration to use them in Wigan Athletic now!

Wigan Athletic were able to reach the FA Cup final, but struggled to avoid relegation in the league.

This kind of performance can only show that Wigan Athletic is a team with a lot of ups and downs. When they are in good shape, Manchester City may not be able to easily beat them.

In the home team's locker room, Gao Bo also emphasized this point: "Be sure to pay attention to Wigan Athletic's counterattack!! At the end of the season, I will not emphasize how strong the fighting desire of the relegation team is, I will only say one thing: the remaining six rounds League, we have to keep winning until we win the championship!!"

"No matter who the opponent is!!"

Gao Bo has this confidence. As long as his team is good at it, even if Wigan Athletic is desperate on the road, it will have no effect.

......

It turned out to be the same.

Thirty minutes before the game, Wigan Athletic's defense was still good, their players were very active, they ran very hard, but the same, the action was also very big...

In the 31st minute of the game, the excitable Wigan Athletic players began to experience a decline in physical fitness—this is also normal. For the first 30 minutes, Manchester City had been mobilizing Wigan Athletic players with passing balls, consuming their energy.

And when the Wigan Athletic players ran for 30 minutes, the first physical bottleneck began to appear. At this time, Manchester City suddenly launched a fierce attack!

David Silva made a straight pass, Hazard missed the ball, Kaka rushed into the penalty area to get the ball, and faced the goalkeeper single-handedly! !

Kaka dribbled the ball to pass the goalkeeper, but was thrown to the ground by Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Robles! !

The referee's whistle sounded! The finger points to the penalty spot.

Then the goalkeeper was shown a red card! !

Wigan Athletic suffered a red dot package! !

Wigan Athletic's substitute goalkeeper had not had time to warm up, so he could only rush into battle. Facing Griezmann who took the penalty kick, he naturally had no chance of winning.

Griezmann made a steady penalty.

In the following game, the ten-man Wigan Athletic was completely unable to resist the offensive of Manchester City.

Before the end of the first half, Kaka scored a goal to make the score 2-0.

And at the end of the game, the scoreboard on the pitch indicated that the score was five to zero!

The home team is in front, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 5-0! ! !

......

The game got Manchester City fans excited.

This is not just because of a victory in the league, but more importantly, when facing the opponents in the FA Cup final, Manchester City showed super dominance!

Although both Gao Bo and Martinez vehemently denied any connection between the game and the FA Cup final.

But in the eyes of the outside world, this game is a preview of the FA Cup final!
