Chapter Seventy-Nine: FA Cup Quarterfinals

The rest of the game was dull, and City's players were now at all discouraged. They were already four goals down and had about fifteen or sixteen minutes left on the game clock.

Scored four goals in a row to equalize the score in the space of ten minutes?

Even if God were on Manchester City's side now, they wouldn't be able to do it!

There was a lot of singing in the stands, and in this small stadium, Luton fans were even playing with the crowd. It was an unforgettable night for the home fans.

Mark Hughes didn't want to see what he was doing, and he roared loudly from the sidelines, dancing with his hands and using a lot of body language to try to stir up the fighting spirit of the Manchester City players.

For Mark Hughes, the hope of winning this game or a draw is basically gone, but Manchester City must at least get on the scoresheet!!

Being swoed four goals in the second division, but failing to score a goal himself, such a result is too cruel for Manchester City.

Perhaps it was City's players who also thought about the terrible consequences of the four-goal defeat, and they fought back in the last ten minutes of the game.

When it comes to scoring goals in the final stage, many teams choose to make long passes and high-altitude bombing, not because of how advanced this set of tactics is, but because such a set of tactics is the simplest, best executed, and most capable of attacking in a short period of time.

Manchester City kept passing the ball into the box at the back, looking for Evans and Cascedo two high points. Robinho and Bellamy, on the other hand, relied on the two highs up front to find opportunities.

Luton's two centre-backs were both good at defending and were able to compete with the two centre-forwards in the high balls, especially Jeffrey, the 18-year-old Dutchman who made the game a bright spot.

He frequently jumps high to beat Cascedo or Evans to grab points, and his excellent bounce and header finding ability allows him to defend high balls without leaking!!

As the clock ticked on, City simply sent Vincent Kompany up front as a high post.

Kompany is physically strong and has very good bouncing headers, and although he is not a centre-forward, his role is very evident when facing such a high ball.

In the 84th minute, Kompany finally seized a cross and flicked the ball towards the goal.

However, his direction was a little less controlled, and the ball grazed the post and went out of the bottom line.

There was a gasp in the stands and Luton almost scored!!

The Manchester City players were greatly encouraged and Kompany shook his fists as he ran back: "Come on bros!!" We've got to score at least one goal!! ”

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

Four to zero is a perfect score in Gao Bo's eyes, but if this score becomes four to one, it will be a pity in Gao Bo's eyes.

So when he saw that there was a possibility of scoring for Manchester City, he immediately made a substitution.

"Matt!! Go warm up!! ”

Gao Bo turned his head and yelled at the bench.

Matt was stunned, he is a center forward, what role can he play at this time? Does the boss still have to attack?

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

"Luton Town are going to make a change, high school striker Matt is ready to put on the pitch!! With a four-goal lead, Gao Bo still chose to replace a center forward!! Isn't he satisfied with a 4-0 score? It's a crazy manager!! Lightkinson said with some puzzlement.

In fact, several of Gao Bo's assistants were also puzzled, and John glanced at Gao Bo a little strangely.

When playing Chelsea, which has a personal grudge with Gao Bo, Gao Bo did not fall into the well in the end, does he have any unknown grievances with Manchester City?!!

Lin Sen, on the other hand, looked at Matt's figure thoughtfully.

Soon, Matt Schmidt was ready to warm up, and he came to Gao Bo's side, bending down slightly—otherwise, Gao Bo would have to keep his head held high.

"Matt, go up later, you play at centre-back!!" Gao Bo said.

"?!! centre-back" Matt scratched his head, "But I'm the center?!" ”

"It's okay!! Now Manchester City are playing golf with a lot of intensity, isn't that what you're good at? Go up!! Push all the balls out of their box!! Gao Bo patted Matt on the shoulder, "No one can compete with you on this point!" ”

Matt was full of confidence, yes, even though he was a centre-forward, his header was good, and his height was still here! It is perfect for defending high balls in the box.

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

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

Soon, Luton Town made a substitution. This substitution didn't feel like a big deal, a center forward replaced a center forward, and a counterpoint substitution, in this case, maybe Gao Bo just used a substitution to delay time, and at the same time let some players get a little chance to play.

Mark Hughes didn't find anything strange because of Gobo's substitution, and City's previous wave of attacking was fierce, which gave Mark Hughes hope of scoring.

'Luton Town made a substitution, Matt Smit came on for Jamie Vardy, and it was a centre-forward substitution. As soon as Lightkinson finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong.

'Matt Smit was in the centre-back position?!!

Indeed, when Matt Smit came on the pitch, he was not far from Luton's two centre-backs

"Playing centre-back with a centre-forward, Coach Gobo is really creative," Lightkinson laughed.

"Matt's header is good, and Gao Bo probably wants to use his height and header to get involved in the defense." Redknapp said.

Indeed, as Redknapp expected, when City were high again, it didn't work so well.

Matt, who is 198 centimeters tall, and Luton's original two centre-backs with strong frontal defensive ability, they make Manchester City's two centre-forwards, plus Kompany, have little advantage in headers.

The rest of the game was lively, but City failed to create any real threat.

With three minutes of stoppage time, Jeffrey headed the ball out again, and then N'Golo Kante cleared the ball with a big foot from the periphery.

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

Luton Town were upset again, this time beating Manchester City to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup!
