Chapter 693 Walking in Hell

Chapter 7 and Five Walks in Hell

"I'm still King Yama"

Gao Bo pouted.

He didn't want to admit it. In fact, when he just came out, he was also taken aback.

"What are you talking about? Tall?"

Moya heard Gao Bo mutter something beside him, but since he said it in Chinese, of course Moya didn't understand it.

Lin Sen burst out laughing.

Gao Bo looked at Lin Sen and shook his head regretfully.

Careless!

If he knew in advance that the game would be so hot before the game, he would definitely have to prepare the players first.

In fact, before the game started, Gao Bo also mentioned the problem of the away atmosphere of this game.

However, what Gao Bo didn't expect was that Galatasaray's fans actually looked up to Manchester City so much and put on such a frightening posture.

Gao Bo looked at the players who had already appeared on the court.

In the pre-match plan of the signal game, stability was the main focus in the first half. This is an away game after all, so Gao Bo does not intend to take risks in the away game.

A draw is acceptable to Gao Bo.

Even after seeing such a formation, Gao Bo even felt that a small loss by one goal is not a bad idea.

"You said, if we win, how will these people react?"

Gao Bo suddenly thought of something, he turned his head and asked Moya.

Moya looked at the crazy fans on the stage, shook his head and said, "Maybe they will be even crazier?! But they probably can't do anything."

Gao Bo looked at the towering barbed wire fences around him, at least it was impossible for these fans to rush into the stadium.

Barbed wire is of course a must for this stadium, otherwise football cannot be played here-these crazy fans in the stands may rush to the stadium at any time and attack the visiting team players.

In the past winter transfer period, Galatasaray is the focus of the whole of Europe.

In addition to a few powerful signings, what is even more striking is that they have introduced a super star like Sneijder!

Of course, Sneijder also started the game.

Galatasaray played a 442 formation with two forwards in this game.

Muslera is in the goalkeeper position, right back Sarioglu, center back Nokwu partnered with Kaya, left back Riera, and midfielders are Altintop, Inan, Couturus, Sneijder!

The striker is NO.17 Yilmaz and No. [-] Elmander.

On Manchester City's side, Gao Bo also arranged the main configuration.

Goalkeeper Oblak, central defender Kompany partner Maguire, right back Trippier, left back Kolarov, two defensive midfielders Casemiro partner Fernandinho, three forwards David Silva, Kaka, Griezmann, Hazard still played in the center position.

Except for the central defender, Maguire replaced Kolo Toure in the starting lineup, other positions are considered the team's main starters during this period.

Perhaps due to the influence of Galatasaray fans before the game, Manchester City's players were unable to enter the state after the start of the game.

Galatasaray, who played at home, played vigorously.

For Galatasere, their only chance is to make good use of this home court. If they can win at home, or even win two or more goals, then in the away game, they will have a chance to eliminate Manchester City with their defense!

Although Manchester City is only playing the Champions League knockout for the first time, Galatasaray is a frequent visitor to the Champions League and even the Champions League knockout.

But Manchester City is now the top team in the Premier League and one of the strongest teams in the Premier League, one of the five major European leagues.

In terms of strength, Galatasaray is undoubtedly at an absolute disadvantage. Although they made a lot of signings in this winter transfer window, even Sneijder was scooped up by them, but this did not change the disparity in hard power between the two teams.

Galatasaray's only chance is to make good use of the home court!
Therefore, they did not mean to be conservative. Galatasaray took the initiative to attack and launched a fierce offensive!

In the 7th minute of the game, Snedra went to the wing to make a cross.

The football went around to the back point, and forward Yilmaz was about to head the ball to the top, but he hit Maguire. While holding Yilmaz, Maguire pushed the ball out of the penalty area by the way.

Gao Bo has watched a lot of Galatasaray game videos.

This team relies heavily on headers from the two forwards.

Both Yilmaz and Elmander pack a decent punch.

And Gao Bo vaguely remembers that if Mourinho does not take over Chelsea this season, Galatasaray is expected to introduce Warcraft Drogba from Chelsea.

Overall, this is a team that relies on physicality and headers to attack.

Therefore, Gao Bo chose Maguire to start.

In such a confrontation, Maguire can make good use of his strong body and ability to face the defense head-on.

Galatasaray's team doesn't have many offensive methods. They play relatively simple, quickly rushing from the side, then open up space to pass, and grab points in the middle.

Such a simple routine was repeated over and over again.

Relying on the strength of this home court, such a simple routine may have a good effect if it faces some teams with a slightly poor organization.

But Manchester City's defense is very solid.

Kompany's defensive ability is here, and Maguire, despite his inexperience, is still very good at defending high-altitude balls. Galatasaray striker Yilmaz did not take advantage of him.

After Galatasaray's three-axe attack for a while, it was exhausted.

The scene of the game gradually returned to normal. Although the Turkish fans in the stands were shouting hoarsely, after the Manchester City players gradually adapted to the away atmosphere, they gradually took over the control of the game.

Galatasaray was pressed back by Manchester City.

City held the ball in midfield and were in no rush to attack.

This is Gao Bo's request, seeking stability in the away game.

After all, Manchester City does not have much experience in the Champions League knockout rounds. Gao Bo asked the players to stabilize the situation in the first half, test the depth of today's opponent, and then make plans in the second half.

So in the eyes of the fans, this game looked a bit ugly.

Galatasaray wanted to snatch the ball, but after they snatched it a few times and were beaten by Manchester City, they were too frightened to press on aggressively, and the remaining frontcourt players could only harass Manchester City's pass.

The pace of the game became very slow.

Galatasaray's vigor in the opening stage was slowly worn away by Manchester City
In the stands, the momentum of their fans gradually weakened.

No fans will burst out with passion in such a dull game.

Manchester City is like a pedestrian walking in hell. The little devils around him try to get close to him, but they seem to be stopped by something
