Chapter 79 FA Cup Quarter-Finals

Chapter 79 FA Cup quarter-finals

The ensuing game scene fell into dullness, and the Manchester City players are now out of temper. They are already four goals behind, and there are about fifteen or sixteen minutes left in the game.

Score four goals in a row to tie the game in these ten minutes?

Even if God is on Manchester City's side now, they can't do it!

There was continuous singing in the stands, and in this small stadium, Luton fans even played a crowd. It was an unforgettable night for the fans of the home team.

Mark Hughes didn't want to see the current scene. He shouted loudly on the sidelines, danced with his hands, and used rich body language to try to arouse the fighting spirit of Manchester City players.

For Mark Hughes, there is basically no hope of winning this game or drawing a draw, but Manchester City must at least score! !

Being slammed with four goals in the Second Division, but failing to score a goal, such a result is too cruel for Manchester City.

Perhaps Manchester City's players also thought of the terrible consequences of the four-goal defeat. They launched a tragic Jedi counterattack in the last ten minutes of the game.

When they need to score goals in the final stage, many teams choose long passes, rushing, and high-altitude bombing. This is not because of how advanced this tactic is, but because it is the simplest and most efficient Good execution is also the most capable of launching offensive tactics in a short period of time.

Manchester City kept passing the ball into the penalty area in the backcourt, looking for two high points in Evans and Casey. And Robinho and Bellamy are relying on the high points of the two frontcourt to find opportunities.

Luton's two central defenders are both good in air defense, and they can still compete with the opponent's two center forwards in the high-altitude ball confrontation, especially Geoffrey, the 18-year-old Dutch teenager let this matter be watched. The fans of the game were all excited.

He jumped high frequently, beating Casedo or Evans to grab the point, his excellent bounce and header finding ability made him perfect when defending high-altitude balls! !

As the game time passed, Manchester City simply put Kompany in the frontcourt as a high point.

Kompany is physically strong and has a very good jumping header. Although he is not a center forward, his role is still very obvious when facing such a high-altitude ball.

In the 84th minute, Kompany finally seized the opportunity to cross and swung the header towards the goal.

However, his direction control was a bit poor, and the football rubbed the post and went out of the bottom line.

There was a sound of breathing in the stands, and Luton was almost scored! !

Manchester City's players were greatly encouraged, Kompany ran back and waved his fists: "Come on guys!! We have to score at least one goal!!"

The Belgian centre-back, despite his youth, has already shown the charisma of a future Manchester City captain.

Four to zero was a perfect score for Gao Bo, but it would be a pity for Gao Bo if the score turned into four to one.

So when he saw the possibility of a goal from Manchester City, he immediately made a substitution adjustment.

"Matt!! Go warm up!!!"

Gao Bo turned his head and shouted at the bench.

Matt was stunned for a moment. He is a center. What role can he play at this time? Is the boss still going to attack.

Matt didn't have time to think. He hurriedly put on his training shirt and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

"Luton is going to make adjustments, high center Matt is ready to go into battle!! With a four-goal lead, Gao Bo still chooses to replace a center!! Isn't he still satisfied with the four-to-zero score? What a crazy head coach!!!" Letkinson said with some puzzlement.

In fact, several of Gao Bo's assistants didn't understand, and John glanced at Gao Bo strangely.

When playing Chelsea, who had a personal grievance with Gao Bo, Gao Bo didn't get down to it in the end. Does he have any unknown grievance with Manchester City? ! !

And Lin Sen looked at Matt's figure thoughtfully.

Soon, Matt Schmidt was ready to warm up. He came to Gao Bo and bent down slightly - otherwise Gao Bo would have to keep his head up and look at him.

"Matt, go up later, you play a central defender!!" Gao Bo said.

"Central defender?!!" Matt scratched his head, "But I'm a center?!"

"It doesn't matter!! Now Manchester City is playing highball with all their might, isn't that what you are good at? Go up!! Hit all the highballs in their penalty area!!!" Gao Bo patted Matt on the shoulder, "No People can compete with you on this!!"

Matt was instantly confident, yes, even though he's a center, his header is good, and his height is still here! It is perfect for high-altitude ball defense in the penalty area.

Soon, Matt stood on the sidelines, and he was going to replace Vardy!

When Vardy came off the field, he enjoyed the warm cheers and applause of the 10,000 fans at the scene. He was the first contributor to the team's victory in this game!

Soon, Luton completed the substitution. People didn't feel that this substitution was a big deal. A center was replaced by a center, and it was just a matchup substitution. In this case, maybe Gao Bo just used a substitution to delay the time, and at the same time let some Players get a little chance to play.

Mark Hughes didn't feel anything strange because of Gao Bo's substitution. Manchester City's previous offensive was very violent, which made Mark Hughes see the hope of scoring.

"Luton made a substitution, and Matt Smit replaced Jamie Vardy. This is a counterpoint substitution at the center position." Just after Letkinson finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.

"Matt Smit is at centre back?!!"

Indeed, when Matt Smit came on, he was in a position not far in front of Luton's original two centre-backs...

"To use a center to play a center back, coach Gao Bo is really creative..." Letkinson smiled.

"Matt's header is good, and Gaobao probably wants to use his height and header to participate in defense." Redknapp said.

Indeed, as Redknapp expected, when City played high ball again, the effect was not so good.

Matt, who is 198 centimeters tall, and Luton's original two central defenders with strong frontal defense ability, they let two Manchester City center forwards, plus Kompany's header. Nothing cheap.

The next game was also lively, but Manchester City failed to create any substantial threat.

In three minutes of injury time, as Jeffrey topped the ball again, Kanter on the outside made a big-footed clearance.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!

Luton was upset again. They beat Manchester City this time and reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup!
