Chapter 706 Easy

In such a slow rhythm, the first half of the game was over.

'The first half was very uneventful, Galatasaray had a lot of attacking in the opening stages, but they didn't have many attacking tools and City took over the game very quickly!

On Sky Sports' television broadcast, commentator Lightkinson's voice rang out, and the screen quickly switched back to the live room.

According to the general live broadcast plan, this stage should be the stage where the TV station broadcasts the first half of the wonderful replay.

However... The first half of the game really didn't have a lot of highlights to replay.

'I think it's good for City to be conservative, even if it's a draw away from home, it's not a problem, so even though it's a hard game, it's nothing for City, it's just an away game, after all, the knockout rounds are two legs!'

Redknapp added.

Although the fans are lethargic and even prefer to switch to the stands at times – after all, it is always much more interesting to see the Turks go crazy than to watch the game.

For most experts, though, it's the insider's doorway. City's strategic aim for this game is not to beat Galatasaray in a big way, but to build a good foundation for the second leg of the match at the Etihad Stadium.

In that case, of course, you can't afford to fight Galatasaray away from home...

......

Galatasaray's head coach, Fatih Trim, is certainly aware of Gao Bo's calculations.

The Turkish coach, who has coached AC Milan and Fiorentina and led the Turkish national team to a historic European Championship final, is not an easy man.

So he knew the flatness of the first half was intentional on the part of Manchester City.

Although it is unknown whether Manchester City will continue to play like this in the second half, one thing that Trim must do is that if he wants to go far in the Champions League, he must win at home!

Therefore, in the second half, there is actually only one way in front of Galatasaray - attack!

Trim knows that he can't play any skill with Manchester City, and Galatasaray's only advantage may lie in the physical confrontation - in fact, there is no advantage, but in terms of the gap, it is definitely smaller than the gap between the two sides in terms of technology.

"They're cautious!!" Trim said as he looked at the players in the dressing room.

"That says a lot about the power of our home atmosphere!!"

Since you want to make a fuss about physical confrontation, you must bring out the blood of the players!

"How many of the big clubs of the West have lost here in this stadium. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus!! ”

"We've all beaten them here!! Manchester City is nothing!! ”

Trim said.

"Crush them, crush them!!"

He shook his fist and boosted the morale of the players.

.........

At this time in the away dressing room.

Gao Bo didn't motivate the players like Trim.

He had a smile on his face.

"How? The feeling of this stadium. He looked at the player with a smile, "Harry, I think you're going to be scared when you play!" ”

Gao Bo teased Maguire, who started today.

The players in the locker room burst into laughter.

Maguire's face turned red, and he didn't want to admit that he was scared to pee.

"What kind of scene is this.....

He said with a stiff neck.

The players laughed even more.

In fact, Maguire was not the only one who was scared to pee.

I believe most of the Manchester City players were shocked when they first came out of the tunnel.

"Actually, I was also taken aback at first." Gao Bo waved his hand to signal the players to calm down.

The dressing room immediately fell silent and everyone looked at the manager.

"But after the first half, I believe everyone also knows the strength of our opponent." Gao Bo pouted, "Except for this very creative debut, they are not a very strong team. ”

The players nodded.

Indeed, apart from being taken aback by their fans at the opening time, Galatasaray basically couldn't come up with a very good way to come out on the offensive end.

There are also quite a few teams in the Premier League, and Manchester City can be considered handy to deal with it.

'They will definitely attack in the second half, but their attacking methods are very simple, so we don't have to rush.

Gao Bo turned the tactical board around.

"We have four counter-attack points that can give them a lethal blow at any time!!"

Gao Bo pointed to the front, David Silva, Kaka, Griezmann, Hazard four!

It was City's counter-attacking group.

In this game, Gao Bo does not plan to go head-to-head with the other party.

It would be too much to hurt a few players in order to deal with one Galatasaray.

......

Sure enough, the second half of the game was as Gao Bo expected.

After City's players broke their fears about the atmosphere at home, it was easier for them to cope.

In the 60th minute of the game, Manchester City's first goal arrived!

Fernandinho broke the ball and he launched a direct counter-attack.

The Brazilian midfielder crossed the ball diagonally to the right, and Griezmann took the ball and crossed Kaka and then cut forward at high speed.

Kaka's pass was just right in front of Griezmann!

This allows Griezmann to plug in without slowing down and then sweep the ball straight into the box with his right foot!

Hazard had slipped out between the two defenders and fired a right-footed shot!

Football hits the net!

1 to 0!!

Manchester City quickly took the lead in the second half!

........

After the goal, Manchester City played more calmly.

Galatasaray pressed even higher after conceding the goal, but they could not pose any lethal threat to City's goal other than piling up numbers up front.

Casemiro and Fernandinho, two defensive midfielders, have been very protective at the back.

As for Manchester City, their counter-attack made Galatasaray's goal a stir.

In the 79th minute of the game, Manchester City made another steal at the back and played a quick counterattack!

Kaka dribbled the ball in midfield for a long distance and then faked a real pass on the line of the penalty area, and he passed the ball diagonally to Eden Hazard in the box!

Hazard stops past a defender and immediately shoots a right-footed volley!

The soccer ball hits the ground and flies towards the goal!

The goalkeeper reacted and Muslera even touched the ball.

He only had time to flick the tips of his fingers, and the football changed direction slightly, but it still got into the goal!

Eden Hazard was too close to goal when he shot!!

He scored again!!

Brace!

Eden Hazard was also quite excited after the goal!

Gao Bo told him some time ago that the center forward position means more scoring opportunities.

Now, Hazard is increasingly feeling it.

Gao Bo sat in the coach's seat, and the assistants around him rushed out to celebrate, and he opened his notebook to write and draw.

The round of 16 is not difficult at all.

Manchester City could easily qualify.

Gao Bo has this self-confidence.
