Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 489 Manchester City overturned!

On August 12, the fourth round of the Premier League.

Chelsea ushered in the last game of 2017 at Stamford Bridge.

Their opponent is currently ranked 16th - that is, Stoke City, which is fifth from the bottom.

The game was scheduled for three o'clock in the afternoon. Although it had just rained, the temperature on the field still reached 11 degrees.

Amidst the singing of 2 supporters, in the second minute, William created a free kick opportunity when he broke through from the wing. Rudiger responded to Pedro's cross and smashed the net with a powerful header. Chelsea ushered in a fantastic start!

1: 0!

In the 17th minute, Alonso made a cross from the left. Li Polo leaned on the defender with his back and flew the ball with a header. Hazard, who outflanked the ball from the left, shot a cloud-piercing arrow straight to the dead corner!

2: 0!

The formation of the "Potters" who fell behind by two goals gradually became disorganized. Li Boluo quickly seized the opportunity and scored two goals in a row within 15 minutes. Before the end of the first half, the score was extended to 4:0!

Conte on the sidelines applauded vigorously, admiring Li Polo's sudden effort:
As a head coach, he knows very well that due to the recent intensive schedule, being able to seal the victory in the shortest time is the most beneficial for the entire team to preserve their physical fitness.

With a four-goal lead in the first half, he can replace players in advance to rest in the second half. Even if the defense is distracted and loses two or three goals, it will have no effect on the outcome!

In the second half, the old captain Cahill was the first to be replaced, and Christensen, who was loved by Conte, went into battle.

Followed by Hazard, after entering the winter, although the ball king has maintained a stable output efficiency, his body is still slightly tired, so it is better to take the time to rest.

In contrast, Lee Polo is simply the favorite worker of the capitalists. He does not need any rest at all, and even actively asks for continuous combat!

If it wasn't because Conte was worried about his lack of physical fitness and forced him to rest for a game or two, I'm afraid he could really play all Chelsea's games!
Even if some games are only 48 hours apart!
Chelsea, which has changed two main players in a row, is still besieging Stoke City. Although the "Potters" intend to counterattack, due to the existence of Li Polo, their midfielders hardly dare to press forward at will, otherwise they will be defeated every minute. He will seize the opportunity to penetrate the line of defense!

And if they only rely on the wing, it is impossible for them to defeat William, Pedro, Alonso, and Azpilicueta, and advance the offensive to the core area of ​​​​Chelsea!

In the 63rd minute, Li Boluo even took a long shot, wanting to improve his shooting skills.

But as soon as he finished the shot, he knew that the shot was not kicked at an angle, so it shouldn't pose much threat to the goalkeeper.

But the opponent's defender stretched out his foot to block it by accident. The football changed its line strangely at the front of the penalty area.
5: 0!

Lee Polo, who accidentally completed a hat-trick, also heard a notification sound:

【drop~~
Ball possession: 72 → 73
Shots: 61 → 62
Passing: 52 → 53...]
-
The collapsed Stoke City then made a big mistake. The central defender Cameron tripped William who was dribbling the ball in the penalty area. Two yellows turned one red and was sent off by the referee. Chelsea also won a point ball chance.

Hazard, who had just been replaced for a few minutes, felt deeply regretful, and could only watch William blast the ball into the net with one kick!
6: 0!

This is not the final score. In the 82nd minute, Alonso made a pass from the left, but his physical fitness was probably declining. His pass was a little weak. He didn't fly into the penalty area at all, and was barely cleared by the opponent's defender.

Although Li Poluo was driving the plug-in, because the distance was too far, there was no time to grab the spot, so he could only watch the football fly farther and farther in the opposite direction...

A blue figure suddenly rushed from behind, and Louis directly kicked the ultra-long-range heavy artillery over 35 meters away, whizzing past Li Poluo's ears!

Li Poluo turned around abruptly, and saw the goalkeeper Butland stunned!
7: 0!

After Joe Hart was dismissed from the national team, Butland was originally the most hopeful to become the No. [-] national team, but before he had time to show his talents in the Three Lions, he was sieved by England's top striker!
Lost 7 goals in a game, can Southgate still want him?
As Butland's biggest competitor, Pickford must have something to say at this time:

"Don't worry, we Everton were also poured 7 by Chelsea!"
-
After the bloodbath of Stoke City, the Chelsea players can return to their respective homes and enjoy the game of the chaser with peace of mind.

In the later contest, Liverpool beat Leicester City 2:1 at home, Salah scored twice, and has completely conquered the picky Anfield.

United played a dreary 90-minute draw at Old Trafford and Southampton.

Mourinho was finally willing to let Lingard start this time and played the whole game, but Lukaku's injury at the beginning completely disrupted Manchester United's rhythm.

Despite this, Lin Huang still showed his threat many times. For example, in the 34th minute, he used his skillful picking skills to attract the opposing defender Ma Yoshida and blocked the ball with his hands in the penalty area...

But what is disappointing is that the on-duty referee was blind and turned a blind eye to such an obvious handball!
After that, Lin Huang's mentality was obviously affected, and he even retaliated against the Saints defender because of the quarrel on the field, so that he received a yellow card.

In the 89th minute, Lin Huang originally had a chance to kill the game, but he adjusted a little too much before shooting, giving Saints goalkeeper McCarthy too much time to prepare, which led to missing the lore in the end!

Ushering in a three-game tie, Manchester United has given up any hope of competing for the league title. The difference between them and Chelsea has widened to 19 points! -
In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham also pulled their hips successively.

The Gunners were tied 1:1 by West Bromwich Albion in the away game, while Bai Lily shook hands with the "Hammer Gang" West Ham United with the same score at home.

The most surprising thing is that Manchester City, who rested one day more than Chelsea, overturned on an opponent who absolutely did not expect it!

Crystal Palace...

就是那个开局12轮不胜、长时间霸占积分榜第20名的水晶宫，直到第18轮才凭借本赛季第3场胜利勉强爬升到第19位……

After the first 20 rounds, Crystal Palace scored a total of 18 goals, but conceded a full 40 goals!
But Blue Moon has scored 20 goals in the first 61 rounds!Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, it is second only to Chelsea with 95 goals!
No. 2 in the league, against the second-to-last in the league, such a contest of great disparity ended in 2:0!
There's a lot to like about this game:

For example, the two sides replaced a starting player due to injury in the 20th minute, and Jesus even covered his face and cried...

Aguero, who came off the bench, was very active for a while, but soon fell into a quagmire. He didn't even get a shot in the first half!
And before the intermission, De Bruyne, who has always been good-tempered, yelled at Sane publicly because his teammates frequently wasted opportunities. The latter was ashamed and didn't dare to look up at him...

Guardiola made a rare substitution adjustment at the beginning of the second half, but it was not Sane who wasted the most opportunities that was replaced by him, but Gundogan, who was the midfielder, was replaced by the savior who had been in danger before. ...Sterling.

Sterling, who came off the bench, was only active for 3 minutes before completely disappearing from the fans' sight.

Seeing that the team was unable to score no matter how they adjusted, Guashuai, who was in a hurry and went to the doctor, even pushed Yaya Toure, who he had abandoned for a long time, onto the field.

But the "former football No. 2 B[-]B" who has been out of battle for a long time has now become a waste. Not only did he not help De Bruyne sort out the offense after playing, but because of his procrastinated dribbling rhythm, the entire team's offense was completely paralyzed!
Even in the 2nd minute of stoppage time, Crystal Palace's first thigh, Zaha, still made a penalty in the penalty area!
And it was Sterling who came off the bench in the second half who fouled him defensively!

Sterling, who tried hard to chase for nearly 50 meters, looked aggrieved, and the home fans once saw the hope of taking all three points from Manchester City!

It's a pity that what Crystal Palace encountered was Manchester City's goalkeeper Ederson. The Brazilian second goal seemed to see through Milivojevic's shot and blocked it with his legs!
Manchester City, who had escaped, had no chance to score again, and could only leave this sad away game with a score of 0:0...

What makes Guardiola even more unacceptable is that in the last half minute of the game, De Bruyne was injured!

Looking at the slowing down of the blue moon, the entire Premier League couldn't help but express their solidarity to them:

"Come on, Manchester City!"

"Only you can stop Chelsea from dominating the Premier League!"
