Chapter 842: The Champions League reignites
Kaka's goal has caused the morale of Chelsea's players to plummet!
Coming from two goals down, it was a very good thing for Chelsea to beat Manchester City, even if it was an equaliser.
After that, Gao Bo continued to complete the substitution.
Eriksen replaces Antoine Griezmann.
In Gao Bo's opinion, the victory has been sealed in this match, and keeping Griezmann on the field will only increase his risk of injury.
Moreover, Eriksen's passing ability, especially the accuracy of long passes, can just match Li Yuanshan's heading ability.
When Griezmann came off the pitch, he was greeted with cheers and applause from the audience.
"Antoine Griezmann was substituted, which is already a signal for Manchester City to withdraw his troops!"
'Even against a team like Chelsea, he still seems to be at ease, and he has some substitutes on the pitch to stay fit!'
In fact, the substitution on the offensive end may not be to withdraw the troops!
Eriksen, who is more physical, is also trying to find a chance to perform after coming on the field!!
In the 73rd minute of the game, Eriksen made a precise long lateral pass on the right flank and found Sanchez!
After Sanchez got the ball, he jumped and was ready to pick Matic!
As a result, he was brought down by Nemanja Matic with a direct tackle!
City were awarded a set-piece on the left side of the pitch and Nemanja Matic was shown a yellow card for it.
This free-kick almost sent Chelsea in the back of the net again!
Kompany, who came up to participate in the free-kick attack, headed the ball a little high, smashed it on the crossbar and flew off the bottom line!
"Kompany's header!! Chelsea escaped!! ”
"Beam!! The soccer ball smashed on the crossbar!! Just a little bit!! ”
The commentators in the commentary table shouted.
The eighty-second minute of the game!
Chelsea pressed heavily and were tackled and when Kaka picked up the ball in the centre circle to get past Nemanja Matic, he was pulled to the ground by Nemanja Matic.
Tactical fouls!
Yellow!!
Nemanja Matic received two yellow cards in less than ten minutes and was sent off with a red card!
And this red card also completely broke the morale of the Chelsea players.
The rest of the game started to be flat.
The eighty-ninth minute of the game!
Terry tackles in the box!
Instead of tackling the ball, he shoveled Sanchez over!
The referee's whistle blows!
Penalty kick!!!
"Penalty!! Chelsea were awarded a penalty!! ”
"Chelsea are going to lose again at the Etihad Stadium and Jose Mourinho will lose again to Gobour!!"
Kaka stood on the penalty spot and faced Cech standing in front of goal and scored the penalty with ease!
"Penalty scored!! Kaka helps Manchester City extend their lead again!! ”
"Three to zero!! Kaka scored a penalty and scored a brace in this game! ”
"Manchester City sealed the win!!"
In the stands, the Manchester City fans also cheered!
Beating Chelsea and reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup is a certainty.
In fact, this is also true.
There were four minutes of stoppage time, and 90 minutes on the ground, Gao Bo used up his last substitution.
James Milner came on and replaced Kaka, the scorer of the game.
Kaka was given the opportunity to enjoy the applause of the fans alone.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Kaka clapped and ran to the sidelines, and City made a substitution.
In the end, Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-0 at home to advance to the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
And at the draw ceremony after the end of all the FA Cup matches in this round, Manchester City's opponent in the quarterfinals is the opponent of last season's FA Cup final, which has been relegated from the Premier League to Wigan Athletic in the Championship!
Perhaps, this is fate.....
However, Gao Bo did not pay attention to this fate, because the FA Cup quarter-finals were still two weeks away.
In the middle of the week following this FA Cup tie, the Champions League is in full swing!
In the first leg of this season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City will host Russian Premier League opponents, Zenit St. Petersburg.
Although Zenit has always been a force to be reckoned with in Russian football, they are not a wealthy team in the traditional sense.
However, the situation changed in 2005 when Gazprom bought out a controlling stake in the club. Gazprom is the world's largest gas company, accounting for about 17% of global natural gas production and contributing nearly 10% of Russia's GDP at one point.
In the 2007-2008 season, it was the best season in the team's history!
Under the leadership of Dutch coach Advocaat, the Zenit team not only won the long-lost Russian league championship, but also dominated the European arena, in the UEFA Cup, successively eliminated Marseille, Villarreal Football Club, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and other five league giants, 2:0 Glasgow Rangers Football Club in the final, and won the championship without dispute. Among them, the semi-final defeat of the Bundesliga boss Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 5:1 is a classic, and the 4:0 victory at home is regarded as a European shame by Bayern. After winning the championship, the whole team was received by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and became a national hero. In the European Super Cup in August, Zenit won the championship with a 2:1 victory over the then unbeatable Manchester United team with goals from Pavel Boglebnyak and Danny, dominating Europe in one fell swoop, Russian national team coach Hus Hiddink and Russia's richest man Abramovich personally came to the Louis II Stadium to cheer for Zenit's great victory, and the originally unknown Zenit became an upstart in European football overnight. The Zenit golden generation has not only achieved great achievements in club competitions, but also sent a large number of players to the Russian national team, represented by Arshavin, who were the backbone of the Russian men's national football team to reach the semi-finals of the European Championship in 2008. The huge success of Zenit is also a microcosm of the revival of Russian football.
After this season, Zenit went into a brief slump, and in the summer of 2010, under Roma coach Spalletti, Zenit saw renewed hope of returning to the Champions League.
In the 2012-2013 season, Zenit, who reached the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, made crazy reinforcements in the summer transfer window before the season!
The Russian Premier League team has successively introduced Brazilian international Hulk Hulk and Belgium's talented midfielder Witsel for 50 million euros and 40 million euros in the backyard!
With the addition of these two strong players, Zenit also broke through from the group stage this season and reached the round of 16 of the Champions League.
