Chapter 823 Ambition!
? Who will stop Manchester City?
This is a question that the whole of England, and indeed all of Europe, wants to know.
But no one will know that until the boots are on the ground! !
On the third day after the seventeenth round of the league.
Manchester City ushered in a League Cup game.
The team faces Leicester City away.
For the Leicester team, Gao Bo is still very influential.
After all, his take-off in Luton has poached a lot of players who should have belonged to Leicester.
Ranieri took over the team at the beginning of the season, and they are currently at the bottom of the league table, and there is still pressure to avoid relegation.
However, Leicester, who are playing at home, obviously do not want to give up the League Cup so easily.
Although they don't expect to win the championship, at least they can't lose too ugly at home!
Manchester City's 6-0 away game against Arsenal really terrified many teams.
Ranieri was also shocked by Manchester City's powerful attack.
"Their team is currently the strongest offensive team in Europe!! Therefore, even if it is a home game, I think my team will focus on defense, and no one dares to attack the current Manchester City. !"
At the pre-match press conference, Ranieri's posture was very low.
In fact, Gao Bo did not put the league game too important.
However, it is now the fifth round of the League Cup and has entered the quarter-finals of this event.
Manchester City has no injury problems for the time being.
This season, Gao Bo's rotation has been very successful.
Therefore, Gao Bo did not make much rotation. Both Sanchez and Griezmann played in this game, and Kaka also made his debut.
The forward is Vardy, and the two midfielders are Milner and Wanyama.
The central defender combination Umtiti partnered with Maguire, Sabaleta on the left, Luke Shaw on the right, and goalkeeper Oblak! !
Such a lineup, although it is not a full main force, actually does not have a big difference in strength with the full main force.
Win this game and Manchester City will be able to enter the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals, a relatively important cup championship, Gao Bo had to fight for it no matter what.
......
The process of the game was not too smooth.
Leicester, who are playing at home, put on a defensive posture. In the face of intensive defense, Manchester City launched a siege.
However, it is not just luck that the Leicester team can win the Premier League championship in the original history!
At least, Ranieri's team has done a very good job in defense!
They arranged four defenders, four midfielders, and the front two forwards actually became defensive midfielders. The three fronts were very closely connected, forming a very complete defensive system! !
Even, in the first half, Leicester is the first goal!
With Argentine striker Ulloa's burst shot after a counterattack!
Leicester lead Manchester City 1-0 at home! ! !
This result surprised many people.
Could it be that the team that stopped Manchester City...would it be Ranieri's Leicester City?
Even though it's just an English League Cup game.
But you must know that since the first round of the Premier League this season, Manchester City has been winning in England - whether it is the League Cup or the league, they have maintained a complete victory!
Even if it's not a league game.
To be able to let Manchester City lose, which is also quite an achievement.
Ulloa and his teammates were also very excited after the goal! !
At this time, the first half of the game has reached the thirty-ninth minute of the game.
Manchester City occupy the absolute initiative! !
In terms of ball possession ratio, Manchester City even reached 83%!
And Leicester City... a poor 17% possession rate! !
But under such passive circumstances, Leicester City scored! !
A fairly classic quick counterattack! !
The long pass initiated by the central defender and captain Morgan. After Ulloa stopped the ball in the chest, Maguire was wiped by the way. Maguire turned around and did not even have time to foul, and saw Ulloa at the top of the penalty area. Kick off and shoot! Played a wonderful world wave! ! !
After Leicester City scored, they were more focused on defending!
At the end of the first half, the score was 1-0!
Leicester City, who are playing at home, lead Manchester City by a goal!
At half-time, news of City's half-time deficit quickly drew crowds of fans to the game.
In addition to Manchester City fans, fans of other English teams are looking forward to Manchester City losing!
But at the beginning of the second half, Manchester City let them down.
Kaka made a fake shot after receiving the ball in the penalty area and shot with his left foot after passing a defense! !
Kaka's left and right feet are very balanced, and even his left foot shot a very tricky stick to the ground! !
The football flies into the goal against the inner edge of the column! !
One to one! !
Manchester City equalised! !
Shortly after this goal, Griezmann cut in from the left and crossed the penalty area to the back of the right! !
Sanchez plugs in the chest to stop the ball and then shoots! !
Football flies into goal again! ! !
One to two! !
Manchester City overtake the score! ! ! !
Ranieri's team suffered a continuous blow in a short period of time! !
This made the fans in the stands a little bit overwhelmed.
The good mood in the first half was completely ruined.
On the live broadcast platform of the network.
Originally, this game attracted the attention of many fans. As a result, after Manchester City overtook the game, many fans withdrew from the live broadcast in disappointment.
No one believes that Leicester can reverse Manchester City!
It's a miracle that they can draw!
It turns out that the guys who were expecting City to lose were wise to opt out of watching.
Because next, Manchester City scored another goal.
Sanchez made a sweeping pass from the left after making a bottom pass!
Vardy grabs a collision shot in the penalty area!
Hit the ball into the goal again! !
One to three! !
With three goals in the second half, Manchester City reversed Leicester City and won the fifth round of the League Cup! !
Reached the semi-finals of the League Cup! !
After this game, the four teams in the semi-finals of the League Cup were born.
They are Manchester City, Manchester United, West Ham United and Sunderland.
The draw for the semi-finals took place shortly after the game.
In the end, Manchester City drew West Ham United.
The league is divided into semi-finals, which is not the same as before.
Before the semi-finals, it is a single elimination system.
Teams will draw lots to decide their opponents and home and away games. If the game is tied within 90 minutes, it will be decided by overtime (the first half and the second half, each of 15 minutes). If overtime still fails to decide the winner, then a penalty kick will be used to decide the winner.
The semi-final consists of two rounds of home and away. This cup is different from the European Cup, and there is no discount for away goals. If the number of goals scored in the two occasions is the same, extra time will be used to decide the winner. If the number of goals scored in overtime is the same, the away team will be promoted through the away goals system. If the winner is still not determined, the game will be decided by penalty kicks.
The final was at Wembley Stadium! !
After reaching the League Cup semi-finals, Gao Bo also began to include the League Cup championship among the team's goals!
This season, the team's goal...is to win all the championships!
