Chapter 740: A rehearsal for the FA Cup final

At the press conference after the game, Mourinho's face was gloomy after the loss.

'The way they played at the last minute was a humiliation to football, they even deliberately kicked at our players!! They will stop at nothing for the sake of victory!! ”

Mourinho complained at a press conference.

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

And when Gao Bo came up, he did not defend the problem: "When they retreat into the box, we can only strengthen the long-range shot, everything is within the scope of the rules. ”

"Manchester City are in the FA Cup final, the Champions League is in the semi-finals, and the league is currently four points ahead, do they have any chance of winning the treble this season?"

A reporter stood up and asked.

"Of course!"

Gao Bo's categorical answer made everyone stunned.

According to the normal routine, Gao Bo should not be modest, saying that Manchester City has not got anything now, and everything will wait for the end of the season to see Yunyun.

"We certainly have a chance to win the treble and we have no reason to give up any of them!!"

Gao Bo emphasized.

.....

Manchester City's goal: the Treble! 》

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

Manchester City manager: There's no reason for us to give up any of the titles! 》

After this game, the media made headlines on Manchester City's ambitions.

"Triple Crown!! After the FA Cup final with a win over Chelsea, Manchester City manager Gao Bo directly announced the team's goals! League matches! Champions! FA Cup!! Manchester City are on their way to the goal of a treble!! ”

"Can Manchester City win the treble? We can't say for sure right now, but they certainly have the potential to do it, and after Manchester United's treble in 1999, there may be another England side to do it!! ”

The media is full of talk about Gao Bo's ambitions.

And 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 with a smile and a smile, Moya asked with some concern: "Aren't you worried that after you say this, we will be targeted by many teams?" ”

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

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

Win it all!

Mo Ya smacked his lips and looked at Gao Bo in admiration.

Capable and ambitious!

Gao Bo was born to be a good manager.

.......

The team quickly assembled at the training ground.

This is to prepare for the 32nd round of the league at home, which will be played three days later.

Manchester City will host Wigan Athletic.

While the City players were enjoying a short break, the other FA Cup semi-final fixture was over.

Wigan Athletic reached the FA Cup final with a thrilling 3-2 win over Millwall at Wembley Stadium.

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

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

As a result, the match was also seen by many media outlets as a preview of the FA Cup final!

But in his mind, Gao Bo did not link this game to the FA Cup final, which was crucial for Manchester City.

Manchester City and Wigan Athletic play on April 18, and April 19 is a big battle between Chelsea and Manchester United!

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

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

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

......

Speaking before the game, Wigan Athletic's Spain manager Martinez said: "Manchester City are pushing for their treble goal, and we are fighting for survival!" ”

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

After 31 league games, Wigan Athletic have 27 points and have overtaken Reddingla in the standings to finish 19th – that is, the penultimate in the league.

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

After 31 league games, Wigan Athletic are still struggling in the relegation zone, and the teams near the relegation zone are actually dangerous, Aston Villa and Sunderland both have 29 points, splitting 16th and 17th places, and Newcastle in 15th place is only 30 points.

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

'We know the Premier League relegation situation is at its worst, but we are not afraid of the relegation team, we are Manchester City and our goal is the Premier League title!'

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

....

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

That's what happened with Martinez.

In the away dressing room at the Etihad Stadium before the start of the game, Martinez made an impassioned speech.

"Guys!! The last six games!! Every point counts to us!! ”

'Look at what their manager said before the game? He's underestimating us and every player in this room!! ”

"They want to win the title and we need to be relegated!! They think Man City can ignore us, but we have to rip a piece of meat off them!! ”

The wounded beast is the most dangerous, and it is no exaggeration to use it on the current Wigan Athletic!

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

Such a performance only shows that Wigan Athletic are a team with a lot of ups and downs on the field, and when they are in good form, Manchester City may not be able to beat them easily.

In the home team's dressing room, Gao Bo also emphasized this point: "Be sure to pay attention to Wigan Athletic's counterattack!! At the end of the season, I won't emphasize how strong the relegation team's desire to fight is, but I just want to say one thing: we have to win the remaining six league games until we win the championship!! ”

"It doesn't matter who the opponent is!!"

Gao Bo has this confidence, as long as his team does their best, even if Wigan Athletic is desperate away from home, it will not make any difference.

......

And so it turned out.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, Wigan Athletic's defense was good, their players were very aggressive and ran hard, but again, the action was great.....

In the 31st minute of the game, the exuberant Wigan Athletic players began to experience a physical decline - which is also normal, and for the previous 30 minutes, Manchester City had been using passes to mobilize Wigan Athletic's players and drain their energy.

And when the Wigan Athletic players ran for 30 minutes, the first physical bottleneck began to appear, and this is when Manchester City suddenly launched an onslaught!

David Silva plugged through, Hazard leaked the ball, Kaka rushed into the box to get the ball and single-handedly faced the goalkeeper!!

Kaka dribbled the ball and was about to get past the goalkeeper, but was pounced on by Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Robles to the ground!!

The referee's whistle blows! Point to the penalty spot.

Then a red card was shown to the goalkeeper!!

Wigan Athletic suffered a red dot package!!

Wigan Athletic's substitute goalkeeper has not had time to warm up, so he can only rush into the game, facing Griezmann, who took the penalty, naturally has no chance of winning at all.

Antoine Griezmann scored the penalty safely.

In the following game, the ten-man Vigan Athletic was completely unable to resist Manchester City's attack.

Just before half-time, Kaka scored a goal to make it 2-0.

At the end of the game, the scoreboard on the pitch showed a score of 5-0!

With the hosts in front, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 5-0!!

......

The match got Manchester City fans excited.

It wasn't just because of a win in the league, but more importantly, because they showed a lot of dominance against their opponents in the FA Cup final.

Although both Gao Bo and Martinez have vehemently denied that the game had any connection to the FA Cup final.

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