Chapter 79, FA Cup quarterfinals

The next match scene turned flat, the Manchester City players now completely lacking in energy. They've gone four goals behind, and there's about 15 or 16 minutes left in the game.

Scored four goals in a row in these ten minutes to level the score?

Even if God is on Manchester City's side now, they can't do it!

There was constant singing in the stands. In this small stadium, Luton fans even play with the waves. It was definitely an unforgettable night for the home fans.

Mark Hughes did not want to see the current scene, roaring loudly from the sidelines, dancing with his hands, and using rich body language to try to arouse the fighting spirit of the Manchester City players.

For Mark Hughes, the hope of winning this game or a tie is basically gone, but Manchester City should at least score! !

Four goals in the second division, but failed to score. Such a result is cruel for Manchester City.

Perhaps the Manchester City players are also thinking about the dire consequences of the four-goal defeat. In the final ten minutes of the match, they launched a tragic counterattack on the Jedi.

When it is necessary to score in the late stages, many teams always choose long passes and altitude bombing. This is not because of how proficient this tactic is, but because it is the simplest and most important tactic. Good execution is also the best tactic to launch an attack in a short period of time.

Manchester City continued to pass the ball into the penalty area in the backcourt, looking for Evans and Caisedo for a two-point high. Robinho and Bellamy rely on high points from the front two to look for opportunities.

The two Luton centre-backs have good air defence ability, still able to compete with the two centre-backs in high-altitude ball confrontations, let alone Jeffrey, the 18-year-old Dutch teenager allowed that. The fans of the game are all shining.

He often jumps and beats Caisedo or Evans for points. Its incredible bounce and ability to find points for headers make it water drop resistant when defending balls at high altitudes! !

As the game time passed, Manchester City easily put Kompany on the front court as the highest point.

Kompany is strong and has a good bouncing header. Although not a central attacker, his role is very obvious when facing the ball that high.

In the 84th minute, Kompany finally seized the opportunity to cross, make a header and push the ball towards the goal.

But the directional control was a little worse, the ball hit the post and went out of the baseline.

There was a hustle in the stands, and Luton almost scored! !

The Manchester City players are very excited. Kompany ran backwards while waving his fists: "Come brother !! We must score at least one goal !!!"

Although still young, the Belgian centre-back has shown the leadership qualities of the Manchester City captain.

Four to zero is the perfect score according to Gao Bo, but if the score becomes four to one, it would be a pity according to Gao Bo.

So when looking at the possibility of a goal from Manchester City, he immediately made adjustments to the change of players.

"Matt !!! Warm up !!!"

Gao Bo turned his head and shouted on the bench.

Matt's surprised. He is a striker. What role can he play now? The boss should attack.

"Luton will make adjustments. Middle high assailant Matt is ready to fight !! With a four-goal lead, Gao Bo still chose to move to the attackers !! Wasn't he still not satisfied with a score of four zeros? But really a crazy head coach !!! ”ucap Letkinson is confused.

In fact, some of Gao Bo's assistants were confused, John glanced at Gao Bo rather strangely.

Against Chelsea who have a personal vendetta with Gao Bo, Gao Bo did not get into trouble in the end, Is there an unknown grudge between him and Manchester City? ! !

And Lin Sen looked at Matt's figure seriously.

Soon, Matt Schmidt is ready to warm up. He came next to Gao Bo and bowed slightly - otherwise, Gao Bo had to straighten his head and look at him.

"Matt, go up again later, kick the centre-back !!" said Gao Bo.

"Middle pack? !!!" Matt scratched his head, "But I'm the center assailant ?!"

"It's okay! Now Manchester City are playing high ball with passion. Isn't that your skill? Up !!! Take out all their height balls in the penalty area !!!" Gao Bo patted Matt on the shoulder, "No one can compete with you right now !!! "

Matt is very confident, yes, even though he's a centre forward, the header is good, and his height is still here! It couldn't be more suited to a high-ball defense in the penalty area.

Soon, Matt is standing on the sidelines, he'll replace Vardy!

When Vardy left the pitch, he enjoyed the warm cheers and applause of the 10,000 fans. He was the first player on the team to win this match!

Soon, Luton completed a substitution of players. People do not feel any problem with this substitution. A striker replaces a substitution fighting striker. In this case, maybe Gao Bo just postponed it by substitution. Time also gives some players the chance to play.

Mark Hughes was not surprised by Gao Bo's switch. Manchester City's previous attack was fierce, which saw Mark Hughes see hope for a goal.

Luton completed the substitution and Matt replaced Jamie Vardy. It is a substitution of striker players for striker positions. ”Letkinson just finished saying something's wrong.

"Matt Schmidt standing at centre-back? !!!"

Indeed, when Matt Schmidt stepped onto the pitch, he stood not far from Luton's original two centre-backs ...

"Use a striker to play a centre-back. Coach Gao Bo is really creative ..." Letterkinson smiled.

"Matt had a good header, and Gao Bo probably wanted to use his height and header to participate in defence" Redknapp said.

Indeed, as Redknapp expected, when Manchester City played again, the effect was not so good.

Matt, who is 198 centimetres tall, plus two original defensive centre-backs Luton with strong frontal defensive capabilities, they let two Manchester City centre-forwards, plus Kompany in headers. There's no advantage.

The next game was also lively, but Manchester City failed to create a significant threat.

In three minutes of added time, when Jeffrey again pushed the ball, Kante from the outside cleared the ball with a big foot.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the game!

Luton won again. They beat Manchester City this time and made a historic quarter-final of the FA Cup!
