Chapter 740: Preview of the FA Cup final

At the press conference after the game, Mourinho looked gloomy after losing.
"The way they played in the last moments is simply a humiliation to football, they even deliberately kicked our players!! They did nothing to win!!"
Mourinho complained in a press conference.
The reporters off the court are silently complaining. If it is unscrupulous, you Mourinho can be regarded as the number one...
When Gao Bo came up, he did not defend this issue: "When they retract into the restricted area, we can only strengthen the long-range shot, and everything is within the scope allowed by the rules."
"Man City has reached the final of the FA Cup and the Champions League has entered the semi-finals. The league is currently leading by four points. Will Manchester City have a chance to win the triple crown this season?"
A reporter stood up and asked.
"of course!"
Gao Bo's decisive answer shocked everyone.
According to the normal routine, Gao Bo shouldn't be humble, saying that Manchester City hasn't got anything yet, and everything will wait until the end of the season.
"Of course we have a chance to win the Triple Crown. We have no reason to give up any championship!!"
Gao Bo emphasized.
.....
"Man City's goal: Triple Crown! 》
"Gao Bo: Of course we have a chance to win the Triple Crown! 》
"Man City coach: We have no reason to give up any championship! 》
After this game, the media put their headlines on Manchester City's ambitions.
"Triple Crown!! After defeating Chelsea and reaching the FA Cup final, Manchester City's coach Gao Bo directly announced the team's goal! League! Champions League! FA Cup!! Manchester City is moving towards the goal of the Triple Crown! !"
"Can Manchester City win the Triple Crown? We dare not answer in the affirmative, but they are undoubtedly possible to accomplish this goal. After Manchester United achieved the triple crown achievement in 1999, there may be another one. The England team, accomplish this goal!!"
The media talked about Gao Bo's ambitions.
After the FA Cup semi-final ended, Gao Bo gave the players a day off.
The first morning after the holiday.
When the players walked into the training ground talking and laughing, Moya asked with some worry: "Are you not worried that after you say this, we will be targeted by many teams?"
Gao Bo sorted out the training plan in his hand and shook his head and said, "Do you think that if we don't say that, others will not target us? We are now elephants in the league. No matter how we hide, we will attract attention Rather than that, it’s better to be straightforward and to boost the morale of the team."
Gao Bo pointed to the players who were walking into the training ground: "We only need to make these boys confident enough, and we can win everything!"
Win everything!
Moya smacked his lips and looked at Gao Bo in admiration.
Capable and ambitious!
Gao Bo should be a good head coach by nature.
.......
The team quickly assembled on the training ground.
This is to prepare for the 32nd round of the league at home three days later.
Manchester City will face Wigan Athletic at home.
While the Manchester City players are enjoying a short holiday, another game in the FA Cup semi-final has also ended.
At Wembley Stadium, Wigan Athletic defeated Millwall with a thrilling score of 3 to 2 and reached the FA Cup final.
Manchester City's opponent in the final is Wigan Athletic.
After the FA Cup, in the league, the two teams quickly met again.
Therefore, this game is also seen by many media as a preview of the FA Cup final!
But Gao Bo did not link this game with the FA Cup final in his heart. This round of the league is very crucial for Manchester City.
The match between Manchester City and Wigan Athletic was held on April 18th, and on April 19th it was a battle between Chelsea and Manchester United!
For Manchester City, as long as they win at home first, they can sit back and watch the game and see the results of the game between Chelsea and Manchester United.
Regardless of the outcome of the match between Chelsea and Manchester United, Manchester City can profit.
Of course, the premise of all this must be based on Manchester City's home win over Wigan Athletic.
......
Before the game, Wigan Athletic's Spanish coach Martinez said in an interview: "Man City is advancing for their triple crown goal, and we are fighting for survival!"
Yes, Wigan Athletic really needs to fight to stay in the Premier League.
After the 31st round of the league, Wigan Athletic scored 27 points, surpassed Reddingla in the standings, and ranked 19th in the league - that is, second from the bottom.
The 18th place in the league is the Queen's Park Rangers, who scored 27 points. They are ranked ahead of Wigan Athletic with a goal difference.
After the 31st round of the league, Wigan Athletic is still struggling in the relegation zone, and the teams near the relegation zone are actually very dangerous. Aston Villa and Sunderland both scored 29 points and split the game. Sixteenth and seventeenth, Newcastle, fifteenth, only scored thirty points.
By the end of the season, the battle between the relegation teams was fierce.
"We know that the Premier League relegation situation is at its most intense, but we will not be afraid of the relegation team. We are Manchester City and our goal is the Premier League champion!"
At the press conference before the game, Gao Bo said.
....
Of course, Gao Bo's words can naturally inspire Manchester City's players, but it can also be used by other teams to make a fuss.
Martinez is like that.
Before the start of the game, Martinez gave a generous statement in the visiting team locker room at the Etihad Stadium.
"Guys!! The last six games!! Every point is extremely important to us!!"
"Look at what their head coach said before the game? He is underestimating us, underestimating every player here!!"
"They want to win the championship, and we need to be relegated!! They think Manchester City can ignore us, but we have to tear a piece of meat from them!!"
Wounded beasts are the most dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to use them on Wigan Athletic now!
Wigan Athletic can reach the FA Cup final, but struggles to relegation in the league.
Such performance can only show that Wigan Athletic is a team with relatively large fluctuations in the field. When they are in good shape, Manchester City may not be able to easily defeat them.
In the home team's locker room, Gao Bo also emphasized this point: "We must pay attention to Wigan Athletic's counterattack! At the end of the season, I will not emphasize how strong the relegation team's desire to fight is. I will just say one thing: the remaining six rounds. In the league, we must continue to win until we win the championship!!"
"No matter who the opponent is!!"
Gao Bo has this self-confidence. His team only needs to be themselves, even if Wigan Athletic is desperately away from home, it will not be of any effect.
......
Facts have proved the same.
Thirty minutes before the game, Wigan Athletic did a good job defensively. Their players were very active and they ran very hard, but in the same way, they had great moves...
At the thirty-first minute of the game, the vigorous Wigan Athletic players began to experience a decline in their physical fitness-this is also normal. In the previous thirty minutes, Manchester City had been using passes to mobilize Wigan Athletic players, consuming their physical energy.
And when the players of Wigan Athletic ran for thirty minutes, the first individual performance bottleneck began to appear. At this time, Manchester City suddenly launched an onslaught!
David Silva went straight, Hazard missed the ball, Kaka rushed into the penalty area to get the ball, facing the goalkeeper single-handedly! !
Kaka prepared to pass the goalkeeper with the ball, but the Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Robles fell to the ground! !
The referee's whistle sounded! Finger points to the penalty spot.
Then showed the red card to the goalkeeper! !
Wigan Athletic encounters a red dot package! !
Wigan Athletic's substitute goalkeeper has not had time to warm up, so he can only rush into the battle. Faced with Griezmann, who took the penalty kick, naturally he has no chance of winning.
Griezmann steadily took the penalty kick into the match after ~EbookFREE.me~, and the 10-man Wigan Athletic was completely unable to withstand the Manchester City offensive.
Before the end of the first half, Kaka scored a goal, turning the score into two to zero.
At the end of the game, the scoreboard on the court showed a score of five to zero!
The home team is ahead, Manchester City beat Wigan Athletic 5-0! ! !
......
This game made Manchester City fans excited.
This is not just because of a victory in the league, but more importantly, when facing opponents in the FA Cup final, Manchester City showed super dominance!
Although Gao Bo and Martinez strongly denied that this game has any connection with the FA Cup final.
But from the outside world, this game is a preview of the FA Cup final!
