Chapter 704 Welcome to Hell

The Manchester City players took a chartered flight directly to Stamboul after the game against Southampton.

For the Manchester City club, the cost of this charter flight is only a trivial matter.

On the chartered flight, in addition to the team's coaching staff, logistics support team, and players, there is also a team of team management led by the team's CEO Soriano.

This is the first time in the club's history to play a Champions League knockout game, and the team attaches great importance to this performance.

Even the well-informed Soriano was a little nervous.

Looking at Soriano who kept rubbing his hands, Gao Bo said helplessly: "This is just a round of 16 game, Ferran!"

Soriano looked up nervously and said: "I heard that Turkey's away game is not good. The fans are crazy."

With that said, Soriano said with some concern: "We won't lose in an away game like this."

Gao Bo almost laughed, his boss really has a sense of humor.

Lose?

Losing to Galatasaray, how is this possible.

"It's impossible to lose, Ferran!" Gao Bo spread out his hands and said, "Galatasaray has a few good players, but they are just a Turkish team. They won't do much to us. Threat!"

"But this is on their home court. In the past, many continental European teams lost in this stadium."

Soriano seemed a little lacking in confidence.

In any case, this is the team's first Champions League knockout game, so the club seems very cautious.

It is better to win, of course, if the first knockout match loses, even if it can be promoted in the end, the face is not too good.

And Soriano's concerns are not groundless.

Before the start of the game, Manchester City Club, and even the British Tourism Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued travel warnings to Istanbul.

The Manchester City club hopes that Manchester City’s fans are better off to travel to Turkey with the team.

Turkey’s away game, especially the Ali Samyan Stadium, home of Manchester City’s opponent Galatasaray, is a terrible place for away fans.

Before the 2000 UEFA Cup semi-finals, Leeds United as a guest to challenge Galatasaray, two Leeds United fans were assassinated and killed.

In the first round of the 2009-10 UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United was a guest at Istanbul Inonu Stadium to challenge another Turkish Super League team Besiktas. The fans of the two teams fought in the stadium, and the scene finally got out of control. The fans of both sides used plastic stools as weapons to launch a hot group fight.

In 1993, before Manchester United and Galatasaray's Champions League match, more than 200 Manchester United fans were arrested and banned from entering the stadium to watch the football. It was also at that time that Galatasaray fans shouted the domineering slogan: "Welcome to hell." When Cantona received a red card, he was even caught by a local The police officer beat up.

In Turkey's domestic competition, their fans are equally brutal. In May 2011, Galatasaray defeated Fenerbahçe 2-1 to win the Istanbul Derby. A Galatasaray fan was attacked and killed.

Such a series of casualties have made Manchester City very worried about the safety of their fans.

Therefore, speaking of this away game, Gao Bo's face also became serious, but he still shook his head.

"It is impossible to lose, at best it is a tie."

Gao Bo looked at the players in the back row of the plane and wondered if the players would be frightened by this **** field.

When the plane landed at Istanbul Airport, the team felt the madness of the Turks.

Being booed on the air bridge coming out of the airport is already a pediatrics.

When the Manchester City bus came out of the airport, it was already a shock.

The local police organized a large number of police forces to **** Manchester City. They also know how crazy the local fans are, but there are always fans who "just happen" to break through the police blockade.

The vertical **** is already very common.

The Turk with a distorted face spits frantically at the Manchester City bus, and even throws stones.

When an alcohol burning bottle was thrown at the bus, some of the players even screamed.

Even Gao Bo stood up.

This city, the madness of the people here, obviously makes Gao Bo underestimated!

Fortunately, the bottle was not directly smashed on the car, and the police blockade played a role.

Under such shocking steps, the team finally snaked into the hotel.

Before getting out of the car, Gao Bo announced the new discipline.

No one is allowed to leave the hotel!

Unless it is a group ride out.

In fact, even if Gao Bo doesn't say anything, the players will not go out alone.

This city is too dangerous

After two days of adaptive training in the local area, the game will be held at 10pm local time on February 13.

This time point is already very late in the local area, but because Turkey is already on the Asian side, Turkey is already a country across Asia and Europe, and because the Champions League matches need to start at a unified time, so The away game in Turkey is already very late.

However, the atmosphere on the scene made Gao Bo feel shocked.

When he walked out of the player tunnel, he was taken aback by the stands of this stadium.

The stands are almost burning!

Yes, it is burning.

It's not pediatrics like smoke or fireworks.

Instead, the entire stand is burning.

The sky was dyed red.

"Oh, God"

On Gao Bo's side, Mo Yanannan said.

Although Moya has been in the football circle for more than 20 years, it is the first time he has seen such a scene.

Gao Bo squinted his eyes and looked at the burning stands.

It turned out that every fan was holding a torch, and from a distance, it was as if the entire stand was burning.

Gao Bo breathed a sigh of relief. If the stands really burned up, the game would be impossible to play.

In addition to torches, there are fireworks.

The burning fireworks were continuously thrown down the stands, and the periphery of the stadium was also burnt.

The players started playing in this atmosphere.

Kompany, who was standing first to play, was also taken aback by such a scene. He subconsciously paused, making the Galatasaray players beside him smile contemptuously.

Haven't you seen such a formation?

Many Galatasaray players have a sense of superiority in their hearts.

"Oh, God"

The Manchester City players exclaimed.

And at this moment. On the stand opposite them, a huge poster rose slowly.

With the dark red background, you can vaguely see the blood wave.

The black font is set off by the fiery flames around it.

What is even more frightening is that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is around the poster. When Galatasaray fans put out the torch, people found out.

The fans gathered in this stand all dressed in black robes and black masks.

Everyone is like a **** of death from hell.

Breathtaking and chilling!

"Oh, God!!!"

"The fans of Galatasaray have made such a big battle!!!"

"too terrifying"

In the commentary, the commentators Nan Nan said.

With the poster fully unfolded, people finally saw the black text on the poster.

Under the turbulent waves of blood and the smoky haze, this text clearly appeared on the TV screen.

"Welcome to hell!!"
