Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 394 The Crushing First Half
"..."

Seeing Li Polo provocatively in front of Guardiola, Conte immediately turned his head in the opposite direction to show that he was not familiar with him, so as to maintain a normal heart.

[Well, among other things, the performance of the players today is still very good. 】

"This is an extremely fast-paced multiple offensive and defensive transition!"

Director Zhang Lu can finally start the analysis:
"This was originally Chelsea's offensive opportunity, but was counterattacked by Manchester City, but Walker's pass was cleared by Luis, which turned into Chelsea's counterattack opportunity. In just 30 seconds, the offense and defense were reversed twice. This is The unique rhythm of the Premier League!"

Zhan Jun smiled and nodded:

"The two sides are coming and going, and it seems that they are going to fight against each other. The audience who stay up late to watch the game will definitely not be sleepy!"

The camera reluctantly moved away from Li Polo and Guardiola, and turned to the audience area of ​​the stands.

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Manchester City fans, there are a few familiar faces that stand out.

Zhan Jun raised his eyebrows:
"It seems that the attention of this game is really high. The current Manchester United coach Mourinho and the England national team coach Gareth Southgate all came to the scene. Heh, Ferguson, who has retired for four years, also came to the scene to watch the rivals in the same city. This is a rare game!"

Zhang Lu said with a smile:

"Guardiola's pressure... must be much greater than Conte's!"
-
Guardiola's expression remained calm, but the number of times he came to the command area became significantly more frequent.

He asked the players on the field to speed up the speed of passing and cutting the ball, so as not to delay the fighters. At the same time, they should strengthen the pressing from the forward line to improve the counterattack efficiency.

But what makes him dissatisfied is that neither Aguero nor Jesus seems to be particularly active in frontcourt pressing.

It wasn't even until the 15th minute that Aguero responded to De Bruyne's pass and completed Manchester City's first shot of the game.

It's a pity that his shot was too hasty and flew directly to the second floor of the stands.

Sterling, who was sitting on the bench, patted his thigh and whispered:
"This shooting level, I can do it!"

The ball boy of Manchester City did not waste time. Courtois quickly took the goal kick. Li Polo resisted Fernandinho in the frontcourt and completed his role as a bridgehead. Pedro on the left.

Saber, who also missed the first round of the league, is now full of firepower. After receiving the ball, he forcibly broke through Stones' defense, and finished a strong shot before Kompany blocked it!
It's a pity that his shot angle was too straight and was shot by Edson with both palms.

The football spun out of the penalty area and landed far away at the feet of William, who followed up from the right.

Sane, who was supposed to retreat... still didn't make up the defense.

William didn't even make any observations, and directly dribbled the ball into the penalty area again!
Otamendi had to pull the side to defend, but William chose to make a false pass!
【known long time ago!will be so! 】

Otamendi watched helplessly as William made an arc with the arch of his foot, spinning around his shoulder and flying towards the door...

[As long as you raise your arm, you can stop this cross! 】

Such a terrible idea even jumped out of his mind!

Fortunately, the Argentine defender restrained his left hand and let the football fly by.

Then he turned slightly sideways and glanced at what happened behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Li Polo had already blocked the position with his body, and Manchester City captain Kompany even pressed his shoulders with both hands, but he still couldn't stop him from completing the final push to the top on the small penalty area line!

"Whoosh!"

Facing this header bombing that was close at hand, although Edson reacted, he completely misjudged the direction!
Lee Polo heads the football towards the far post!
The football even bounced off the ground before it flew over the goal line!
The speed is extremely fast, the force is heavy, and the angle is so tricky... It is impossible for Edson to jump!
2: 0!

[Negative emotions from Edson, +55! 】

[Otamendi, +38! 】

[Kopany, +63! 】

[Guardiola, +47! 】

[Ittihad Stadium, +8888! 】

[National city fans, +89888! 】

"Dry!"

Because of the suspension, Fabregas, who could only sit in the stands and watch the game, couldn't help but cursed.

Cahill next to him glanced at him, not understanding why he was swearing.

I saw Xiaofa holding his head and explaining in great pain:

"If I can play, these two assists are mine!"

Cahill froze for a moment:
"You're thinking farts! These two are crosses from the wing, what does it have to do with your midfielder!"

Fabregas is still insisting:
"I can make a long pass directly behind me!"

"As long as my big brother Polo is at the front, with my passing style, is it difficult to get one or two assists in a game?"

Cahill opened his mouth, but could only nod.

As Chelsea's team assist leader for three consecutive seasons, Cesc Fabregas does have this strength!
-
Less than 20 minutes into the game, he fell behind by two goals at home, and Guardiola obviously couldn't sit still.

He simply stood in the command area all the time, using gestures that only Manchester City could understand to convey tactical information to the players on the field.

Manchester City indeed once achieved a continuous offensive.

In the 21st minute, facing Kanter's block on the right side, De Bruyne was still able to send an exquisite through ball, but it was a pity that Jesus' shot from the top of the penalty area slipped out.

Three minutes later, Sane cut in from the left and shot, which was blocked by Azpilicueta in exchange for a corner kick.

De Bruyne took a corner kick, Otamendi's header was easily confiscated by Courtois, and even played a counterattack.

It's a pity that Li Polo didn't seize the opportunity this time. After catching up with the goalkeeper's super long-distance pass, he accidentally took a big step. Walker, who was desperately chasing back, kicked the ball out of the baseline...

"Made, you can really run!"

Li Boluo, who was only one step away from becoming a single sword, glared at his opponent unwillingly.

Kyle Walker was not in the mood to pay attention to him, but was panting heavily.

But at the same time Walker patted his chest with lingering fear:

[If this guy doesn't go big, I'm afraid I really won't be able to catch up! 】
-
Manchester City, which escaped, did not shift their focus to the defense, but continued to strengthen their offensive.

In the 31st minute, De Bruyne and Silva cooperated with each other in two consecutive ones, pierced the defense line composed of Kanter and Golovin with dazzling small skills, and then sent the ball to Aguero's feet.

Manchester City's forward didn't adjust too much, he was fighting with Luiz while swinging his legs to shoot!
Although Luiz didn't touch the football, he still successfully interfered with Aguero's shot. The football flew directly into the stands, and the whole stadium sighed.

Not only failed to score a goal, Aguero lost his center of gravity and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

"Isn't this a foul? That shaggy head is reaching for the jersey!"

Guardiola was so angry that he jumped on the sidelines, wishing he could pull up the collar of the fourth official.

But the other party looked at him very calmly:
"It's a normal defensive move, Mr Guardiola."

The fourth official's heart was like a mirror, and he even wanted to complain:
[The last time Li Polo scored a header, your captain Kompany almost dislocated his shoulder! 】

[At that time, why didn't you jump out and complain to Kompany for a red card! 】
-
Manchester City, which had been onslaught for a long time, gradually became a little discouraged. Whether it was Aguero, Jesus, Sane, De Bruyne, or Otamendi and Kompany who participated in corner kicks, they failed to break Courtois's goal in the end. Fingers off.

Seeing the last 5 minutes of the first half, the Blue Moon at home is obviously a little impetuous. Even De Bruyne and Silva, it is difficult to see the exquisite cooperation between them. More often, when the football reaches 30 meters When in the area, the ball holder can't help but want to lift his foot and shoot...

In the 43rd minute, Silva made a direct pass to Jesus. Jesus originally wanted to force Rudiger, but the latter's defense was impeccable. He had no choice but to pass the ball back, but it was delayed several times before. In seconds, Golovin had already returned to the defense, directly cut off Jesus' pass, and then split to the left.

Pedro, whose physical fitness was slightly weakened, did not dare to dribble the ball to perform a dragon, and quickly kicked the ball to the frontcourt. This time, Li Polo steadied the ball, but he had not yet entered the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City. Walker hit the sideline with a shovel...

"drop!"

The referee Anthony Taylor rushed to the scene of the incident in three steps and two steps. After asking the line referee who was close at hand, he decisively showed Walker a yellow card.

"Walker has no chance to touch the football at all. This is a typical ball!"

Zhan Jun shrugged.

Zhang Lu made a "tsk" sound:
"This kind of foul that destroys an excellent opportunity, if it is not in the Premier League, even a red card is not an exaggeration."

Along with the commentator's comment, William has already taken the free kick.

Li Polo was entangled with Kompany and Stones, even if he wanted to outflank, he didn't get a chance, so he had to play the role of a feint to create space for his teammates.

The two central defenders of Manchester City had just been taken away by Li Poluo, and William's cross flew over!

David Luiz took advantage of the time difference and was on goal ahead of Otamendi!
The Brazilian central defender leaped high, with fluffy long hair like a lion with claws and claws, and rubbed the cross from his compatriot from Brazil into the net!
Edson's gaze was still fixed on Li Poluo one second, and his hometown was stolen by Louis the next second!

Edson turned his head slowly, looking at the football rolling in the net, his heart was full of grief and indignation.

[William, Louis, have you forgotten that I am also your fellow Brazilian! 】
-
"3:0!"

Lineker from Sky Sports called out the live score:

"At Manchester City's home court, Chelsea don't feel like playing away at all! They are unstoppable!"

Carragher glanced at his face:
"You don't seem particularly happy?"

Lineker candidly admits:

"If Manchester City can't stop Chelsea at home, who else in the Premier League can stop them?"

"I'm worried that Chelsea's strong performance will make the Premier League lose suspense too early!"
