Chapter 842: Champions League reignited

Kaka's goal caused the morale of Chelsea's players to plummet!
Two goals behind, for Chelsea, wanting to beat Manchester City, even if it is to equalize, is a very good thing to do.
After that, Gao Bo continued to complete substitutions.
Eriksen replaced Griezman.
In Gao Bo's view, this game has already secured the victory, and leaving Griezmann on the court can only increase his risk of injury.
Moreover, Eriksson's passing ability, especially the accuracy of long passes, can match Li Yuanshan's header ability.
When Griezmann left the court, he received cheers and applause from the audience.
"Griezman is replaced. For Manchester City, this is already a signal for Mingjin to retreat!"
"Even in the face of a team like Chelsea, Gao Bo still seems to be able to do well, he let some of the team's substitute players on the field to maintain the state!"
In fact, the substitutions on the offensive end may not necessarily be for retreat!
Eriksson, who has more physical fitness, is also trying hard to find opportunities to perform after playing! !
In the 73rd minute of the game, Eriksson passed a horizontal and accurate long pass from the right to find Sanchez!
After Sanchez got the ball, he even took advantage of the situation, ready to pick Matic!
The result was brought down by Matic's direct tackle!
Manchester City got a set kick from the left front, and Matic received a yellow card for it.
This time the free kick almost made Chelsea's goal fall again!
Kompany, who came up to participate in the free kick attack, raised the ball slightly, hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line!
"Kompany's header!!! Chelsea escaped!"
"The crossbar!!! The football hit the crossbar!!! Just a little bit!!!"
The commentators in the commentary booth yelled.
Eighty-second minute of the game!
Chelsea pushed heavily on the offense and was intercepted. When Kaka got the ball in the middle circle and was about to wipe Matic, Matic was thrown to the ground.
Tactical foul!
Yellow card! !
Matic received two yellow cards in less than ten minutes and was sent off by a red card!
And this red card completely destroyed the morale of Chelsea players.
The next game began to calm down.
Eighty-ninth minute of the game!
Terry shoveled in the penalty area!
He didn't tackle the ball, but instead knocked Sanchez over!
The referee's whistle sounded!
Penalty! ! !
"Penalty!! Chelsea was awarded a penalty kick!!"
"Chelsea will lose again at the Etihad Stadium, and Mourinho will lose to Kobo again!!"
Kaka stood on the penalty spot, facing Cech who was standing in front of the goal, and easily took the penalty!
"A penalty kick is scored!! Kaka helps Manchester City expand its lead again!!"
"Three to zero! Kaka scored a penalty kick and scored twice in this game!"
"Man City secures the victory!!"
In the stands, Manchester City fans also cheered!
Defeating Chelsea and advancing to the FA Cup quarterfinals is already a certainty.
In fact it is the same.
There were four minutes of stoppage time and ninety minutes on the ground. Gao Bo used up his last substitution.
Milner came on and replaced Kaka, the scoring hero of the game.
Kaka gets the chance to enjoy the applause of the fans alone.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Kaka clapped and ran to the sidelines, Manchester City completed the substitution.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Chelsea 3-0 at home and advanced to the FA Cup quarterfinals.
In the draw ceremony after all the FA Cup matches in this round, Manchester City's opponents in the quarterfinals were their opponents in the FA Cup final last season. They have been relegated from the Premier League to Wigan Athletic in the Championship!
Maybe this is fate.....
But Gao Bo did not pay attention to this fate, because the FA Cup quarter-finals are still two weeks away.
In the middle of the week after this FA Cup game, the UEFA Champions League game is in full swing!
This season, in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester City will face their opponent from the Russian Premier League, Zenit St. Petersburg.
Although Zenit has always been a force that cannot be ignored in Russian football, they are not a rich team in the traditional sense.
But the situation changed in 2005, when Gazprom bought out the controlling stake in the club. Gazprom is the world's largest natural gas company, accounting for about 17% of global natural gas production, and at one time nearly 10% of Russia's GDP contributed.
In the 2007-2008 season, this was the most glorious season since the team was founded!
Under the leadership of the famous Dutch coach Ed Volkart, Zenit not only won the long-lost Russian league championship, but also made a big splash in the European arena. In the UEFA Cup, they eliminated Marseille and Villarreal Football Club. , Leverkusen, Bayern Munich and other five major league giants, in the final 2:0 Lectra Glasgow Rangers Football Club, won the championship without dispute. Among them, the semi-final score of 5:1 eliminated the Bundesliga boss Bayern Munich is a classic, the home 4-0 victory was regarded as a disgrace in the European war by Bayern. After winning the championship, the team was received by Russian President Medvedev and became a national hero. In the European Super Cup in August, Zenit hurriedly won the championship with Pavel Bogrebnyak and Danny's goals 2:1, defeating the then unbeatable Manchester United team, dominating Europe and Russia in one fell swoop. Team coach Hus Hiddink and Russia’s richest man Abramovich came to the Louis II Stadium to applaud Zenit’s great victory~EbookFREE.me~ Zenit, who was originally unknown, became overnight Upstarts in European football. The Zenit golden generation not only made great achievements in club competitions, but also sent a large number of players to the Russian national team. Zenit players represented by Arshavin were the top four of the Russian national men's football team in 2008. The backbone of the country. Zenit's great success is also a microcosm of the revival of Russian football.
After this season, Zenit went to a brief trough. In the summer of 2010, under the leadership of Rome coach Spalletti, Zenit saw the hope of returning to the Champions League.
In the 2012-2013 season, Zenit, who entered the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, made crazy signing moves in the summer transfer window before the season!
The Russian Super League team has successively introduced the Brazilian international Hulk with 50 million euros and 40 million backyards, and the talented midfielder Witsel of Belgium!
With the addition of these two powerful players, Zenit also broke through from the group stage this season and reached the Champions League semi-finals.
