Chapter 729 The Narrow White Hart Lane
Unsurprisingly, Manchester City won Wigan Athletic!
Now they can sit back and watch the tigers fight! !
In the second round of League No.30, Manchester United played against Chelsea at home! !
In Manchester, a bar where many Manchester City fans gathered, Manchester City fans watched the game with a relaxed mind!
When Drogba equalized with a header in the penalty area in the 90th minute of the game, Chelsea fans were cheering, and Manchester City fans were also cheering! !
"Two to two!!! Two to two!!!!!! Drogba equalized the goal!!! No. 90 minutes of the game, Chelsea equalized the score!!!!!!!!!!"
The narrators are roaring!
"If this game ends with such a result, it will not be a good thing for both sides!! Manchester United and Chelsea draw, Manchester City will benefit!!!!"
Manchester City fans certainly have reason to be happy. After all, if Manchester United and Chelsea draw, Manchester City will be six points ahead of these two teams!
Six points!
The distance of two games!
Such a point gap has allowed Manchester City to continue to take a big step towards the championship.
There was 5 minutes of stoppage time in this game.
In the last 5 minutes, the fans of the three teams were quite nervous.
Whether it's Manchester United or Chelsea's every attack, it always makes Manchester City fans in fear.
Finally, 5 minutes passed, when Rooney missed the last shot from outside the penalty area, the referee blew three whistles, which signaled the end of the game!
At Old Trafford, both Manchester United and Chelsea players were extremely disappointed on the field, as were the fans in the stands, and the scene fell into silence for a while.
"A tie!! Manchester United and Chelsea have a draw, this is the last result they want to see!! The league is chaotic, Manchester United and Chelsea lose points at the same time, and Manchester City has widened the gap between them and these two teams! With the last six games left in the league, Manchester City leads the competition by six points!!"
"Six points!! This is already a very big point difference!! Will we see the birth of a new Premier League champion this season?"
The next day, the media all believed that there was almost no suspense for Manchester City to win the championship!
"Manchester City is six points ahead of Manchester United and Chelsea. There are still six games left in the league. As long as Manchester City does not collapse in the final stage of the league, they will win the championship!!"
"Winning the league championship is what coach Gao Bo is best at. If Manchester City wins this season, there is a very scary statistic. Since Gao Bo became the first-team coach of a professional team, from Luton to Manchester City, for five consecutive seasons, Gao Bo's team has been the champion team of the league!!!"
"People say that Gao Bo is good at leading the team to play European games, but if we only look at the league, Gao Bo is the king of the league!!!"
Just when the English media praised Manchester City, the coach of Manchester City's opponent Tottenham Hotspur in the next game also publicly stated in an interview with the media: "Manchester City is the strongest team in the entire league. At White Hart Lane, it is difficult for Tottenham to score points against Manchester City."
Even the rebellious Boas said so, Manchester City fans are naturally more confident.
The opponent's flattery made many Manchester City players feel a little elated.
In fact, Boas praised Manchester City in front of the media, but when facing his players, he said this:
"They must be thinking about the championship and the Premier League trophy in their minds now. They have defeated Manchester United and Chelsea in a row, and it is the time when their self-confidence is bursting! I think in their eyes, there is no team like us that is barely ranked fourth."
Boas smiled: "And this is our chance!!"
In fact, success can indeed make people feel ecstatic.
Even Gao Bo didn't think much about what Boas said.
After all, in recent days, there have been too many praises for Manchester City in English newspapers, so much that Gao Bo didn't even bother to pay attention.
The second round of the No.30 league is over, and the third round of the No.30 league will follow.
There was only a three-day gap between them. In order to prepare for the No. 30 away game against Tottenham Hotspur in the third round of the league, the team did not even take a holiday after the second round of the No. 30 league.
During the two-day training base, Gao Bo specially asked the staff to re-draw the line on the pitch of the training base-according to the size of Tottenham's home stadium, White Hart Lane.
According to official statistics, Tottenham's White Hart Lane is one of the shortest in the Premier League. The only ones that are narrower than White Hart Lane are Stoke City and Queen's Park Rangers.White Hart Lane is 100 meters long and 67 meters wide, which is smaller than the home courts of half of the teams in the league.
Perhaps it is also due to the special size. White Hart Lane is the famous "devil's home stadium" in the Premier League. Zhuqiang has not found any bargains in this stadium. Since the birth of the Premier League to the present, Liverpool has only won two victories at White Hart Lane. Tottenham's arch-enemy Arsenal has only won three games here.
On April 21, when players from both sides lined up in the player tunnel at White Hart Lane, Gao Bo came out of the player tunnel, shook hands with Villas-Boas, and walked slowly to the coach's bench.
Naturally, there were no empty seats at the scene, and Tottenham fans cheered enthusiastically in the stands.
He looked around the stadium for a week, and had an intuitive understanding of the narrowness of White Hart Lane.
This is a typical English stadium, with three tiers of stands, but in this small stadium, there are [-] seats. In order to arrange so many activities, the gaps between the seats in the entire stadium are very small, and the reserved passages are also very narrow.
"This is a good match for that stingy guy Levi," Gao Bo muttered.
However, no matter how narrow the stand is, it will not affect the game.
The narrowness of the court has a very big impact on the game.
The width of the field is only 67 meters, while a standard football field must be rectangular, with a length of 90-120 meters and a width of 45-90 meters.
Of course, not many teams design a pitch that is 90 meters wide, but 67 meters is still a lot narrower.
In this way, the offensive width that the offensive side can expand is more than ten meters narrower than other courts, while the defensive side can easily compress the space. Such a court is naturally more conducive to defense.
