Chapter 694
Chapter 7 and Six
In such a slow rhythm, the first half of the game is over.

"The game was very flat in the first half. Galatasaray were very aggressive in the opening stage, but they didn't have many offensive methods, and Manchester City took over the game very quickly!"

In the TV broadcast screen of Sky Sports, the voice of the commentator Letkinson sounded, and the screen quickly switched back to the live broadcast room.

According to the general live broadcast plan of the game, this stage should be the stage when the TV station broadcasts the highlights of the first half.

However. The first half of this game really didn't have many wonderful pictures to replay.

"I think being conservative is beneficial to Manchester City. Even if you get a draw away, there is no problem. Therefore, although the game is ugly, it is nothing to Manchester City. This is just an away game. After all, the knockout round is two rounds!"

Redknapp added.

Although the fans are drowsy, they even prefer to switch the screen to the stands at some times-after all, it is more interesting to see the Turks crazy than to watch the game.

But for most experts, the so-called insider looks at the door.The strategic purpose of Manchester City's game is not to beat Galatasaray, but to establish a good foundation for the second round of the match between the two sides at the Etihad Stadium.

That being the case, of course there is no need to fight Galatasaray in the away game
Galatasaray's head coach, Fatih Trim, is of course aware of Kobo's calculations.

The famous Turkish coach who once coached AC Milan and Fiorentina, and also led the Turkish national team to the European Cup finals in history, is not an easy person.

So he knew that the flatness of the first half was intentional by Manchester City.

Although I don't know if Manchester City will continue to play like this in the second half, what Trim must do is that if he wants to go further in the Champions League, he must win at home!
Therefore, there is actually only one way for Galatasaray in the second half-attack!
Trim knew that he would definitely not be able to compete with Manchester City. Galatasaray's only advantage may lie in physical confrontation-in fact, there is no advantage, but the gap must be smaller than the gap in technology between the two sides.

"They are very cautious!!" Trim said, looking at the players in the locker room.

"This shows the power of our home atmosphere!!"

Since we want to make a fuss about physical confrontation, we must inspire the bloodiness of the players!
"In this stadium, how many Western giants have lost here. Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus!!"

"We've all beat them here!! Manchester City are nothing!!"

Trim said.

"Press up, crush them!!!"

He waved his fist to boost the morale of the players.

At this time in the visiting team locker room.

Gao Bo did not encourage the players like Trim.

He has a smile on his face.

"How? How do you feel about this stadium?" He looked at the players with a smile, "Harry, I think you're going to pee in terror when you play!"

Gao Bo made fun of Maguire, who started the game today.

The players in the locker room burst into laughter.

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

"What is this scene?"

He poked his neck and said.

The players laughed even more.

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

I believe that most Manchester City players were taken aback when they first came out of the player tunnel.

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

The locker room immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the head coach.

"But after the first half, I believe everyone knows the strength of our opponent." Gao Bo curled his lips, "Aside from this very creative appearance, they are not a very strong team."

The players nodded.

Indeed, apart from being startled by their fans at the beginning, Galatasaray basically couldn't come up with any good solutions on the offensive end.

There are also many teams in the Premier League with physical impact, and Manchester City can handle it with ease.

"They will definitely attack in the second half, but their offensive methods are very simple, so we don't need to worry."

Gao Bo turned the tactical board around.

"We have four counterattack points, and we can give them a fatal blow at any time!!"

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

This is Manchester City's counterattack group.

In this match, Gao Bo did not intend to confront the opponent head-on.

If you let yourself injure a few players in order to deal with a Galatasaray, it would be too much to lose.

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

After the Manchester City players got rid of their fear of the opponent's home atmosphere, it became easier for them to deal with it.

Game No. 60 minutes, Manchester City's first goal came!

Fernandinho succeeded in stealing the ball, and he directly launched a counterattack.

Brazil's midfielder passed the ball diagonally to the right. Griezmann took the ball and crossed Kaka, and then advanced at high speed.

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

This allows Griezmann to jump in without slowing down, and then sweep the ball directly into the penalty area with his right foot!
Hazard has emerged from between the two defenders, and he shoots with the arch of his right foot!

Soccer hits the net!

One to zero! !
Manchester City quickly took the lead in the second half!
After the goal, Manchester City played more calmly.

After conceding the ball, Galatasaray pressed even higher, but apart from accumulating numbers in the frontcourt, they could not create any fatal threat to Manchester City's goal.

The two defensive midfielders, Casemiro and Fernandinho, are very good at protecting the back line.

As for Manchester City, their counterattack made Galatasaray's goal panicked.

In the 709th minute of the game, Manchester City once again made a quick counterattack after stealing from the backcourt!
Kaka's midfielder dribbled the ball for a long distance, and then made a false shot on the penalty area line. He passed the ball diagonally to Hazard in the penalty area!
Hazard volleyed with his right foot after passing a defender in a row!
The football flies to the goal against the ground!

The goalkeeper reacted and Muslera even touched the ball.

He only had time to swipe the fingertips, and the football changed direction slightly, but it still got into the goal!

Hazard was too close to the goal when he shot! !
He scored again! !

A brace!

Hazard was also very excited after scoring the goal!
Gao Bo told him some time ago that the center position means more scoring opportunities.

And now, Hazard is increasingly able to feel this.

Gao Bo sat on the coach's bench, and the assistants around rushed out to celebrate. He opened his notebook to write and draw.

There was no difficulty at all in the round of sixteen.

Manchester City can easily advance.

Gao Bo has this confidence.
