Chapter 64: The legend of the Blue Army that was destroyed by Zhao Jinge!

Manchester City, captain Vincent Kompany saw a change in morale at Chelsea after Diego Costa’s goal.

Knowing badly, he immediately gathered Manchester City’s players around.

Before restarting the kick-off, tell your team-mates not to panic in the rest of the game and to withstand Chelsea’s counter-attack in the final stages of the first half.

“Fernandinho, you must keep an eye on Hazard! Leave William alone! If you really can’t do it, you will foul, and I don’t want to see Hazard easily appear in front of me again! ”

“William and Ramirez handed over to our people on the back line!”

Kompany stared into Fernandinho’s eyes until Fernandinho nodded in agreement before shifting his gaze.

“Yaya, don’t plug in the next few minutes, you and De Bruyne must firmly cut off the connection between Cesc Fabregas and the Chelsea players up front!”

Yaya Toure looked at the serious captain, and immediately nodded in agreement, dispelling the thoughts of interjection that kept popping up in his heart.

The serious Kompany is definitely the backbone of the Manchester City team!

After Zhao Jinge resumed the kick-off, only Raheem Sterling, David Silva and he went forward to the Chelsea half to intercept in front.

The rest of the Manchester City players maintained a tight formation, shrinking in several halves and waiting for the battle.

Get ready to do everything you can to drag the last period of the first half!

Of course, Chelsea have also made targeted changes, and since you want to suppress Cesc Fabregas so much, let him be a target for Manchester City’s attention.

Cesc Fabregas is no longer responsible for Chelsea’s organisational work, remaining exclusively at the back, only responsible for Chelsea’s back-of-the-field.

Cesc Fabregas did not hesitate to receive the ball and used his precise long pass directly to cross the interception of Manchester City’s midfield and send it to the feet of the Chelsea player in front.

After Eden Hazard and Willian were adducted, he took on the role of wing-back, responsible for connecting Chelsea’s risk and midfield.

Mourinho used Eden Hazard and Willian as metronome in Betsea’s midfield, putting the work of organising, propelling, passing and even finishing on Hazard.

Agility, technical sophistication, strong passing ability and good shooting skills make Hazard almost omnipotent in the forward position.

Just like Zhao Jinge relied on his individual ability in the first half to tear through Chelsea’s defence alone.

Eden Hazard faced Fernandinho’s defence, although he was sometimes pushed a little embarrassed.

But he still relied on his excellent breakthrough and possession ability, and gradually tore a wound in Manchester City’s midfield defense.

Willian and Ramirez also followed the defensive gap torn out by Hazard, constantly attacking Manchester City’s defense, Fernandinho alone, how can he keep the breakthrough of three people.

In addition, Willian and Hazard were able to frequently switch positions between the wing and the center to tear up space and expand the gap in Manchester City’s defense, and Kompany also had to step forward to supplement the key moment, go to suppress Fabregas’ Yaya Toure, return to the back position, and carry the attacking pressure of Chelsea with Fernandinho.

When Cesc Fabregas saw Yaya Toure step back and prepare to step forward, he was pestered by David Silva alone, and De Bruyne also rushed back to the back to respond.

Despite some hecticism, Manchester City still kept the real threat out of their own hinterland.

The first half was already in stoppage time, and City’s players did not dare to relax for a moment, fearing to concede again in the final moments of the first half.

Chelsea seized on their only opportunity to mount a last-ditch counter-attack.

Eden Hazard once again picked up the ball in the middle of Manchester City’s half, and after shaking past the defender Zhao Jinge with a feint, he did not continue to break forward as before, killing the bottom line and sending a cross.

Instead, he suddenly stopped the ball, attracted Fernandinho’s attention, decisively shoved the ball straight behind the Manchester City defense, and continued to rush forward!

Willian, who was in the middle, had been observing Eden Hazard’s movements, and he did not miss this excellent forward opportunity to start in time.

Willian ran fast off the ball, and Eden Hazard’s straight ball gave good weight, just enough to catch up with the football in the most comfortable position.

Willian’s speed with the ball was only a little slower than when he ran off the ball, relying on the speed, after skimming past Manchester City full-back Sania’s defense, Willian dribbled the ball directly into the Manchester City penalty area.

He then swept the ball abruptly near the penalty spot in City’s penalty area.

Diego Costa took Kompany away at the back post, while Demichelis was still in the position of William’s pass, before Demichelis could turn around.

A figure had already taken the lead and chose to poke near City’s penalty spot.

Adjara, the divine soldier descends from heaven!

At such a close distance, and the stab shot facing the near corner of the goal, Demichelis’s heart sank, he simply did not have time to turn and block now, and could only watch the football fly towards the goal.

Just when all the Chelsea fans in the field thought they could return to the dressing room with a draw.

Joe Hart in front of Manchester City swooped up and pounced into the near corner of the goal where the ball was about to roll.

His arm stretched out straight, and before the ball drilled into the near corner of the goal, he used his fingers that were open to the limit, and gently rubbed it to change the direction of the ball.

Joe Hart’s quick reflexes and world-class goal-line ability keep Manchester City’s goal intact.

Although we always put “if there is love and the sky is old, meet Hartmon.” ”

Hang on the lips.

But as one of England’s best homegrown goalkeepers in the last three decades, Joe Hart’s goal line and reflexes are really outstanding.

After all, in addition to occasional standing mistakes, if you want to break his goal, you really have to kick a fairy ball.

“Willian passes to the penalty spot, Eden Hazard, poke! Joe Hart! ”

“Joe Hart Park shot out of Eden Hazard at hand, it looks like Joe Hart is in excellent form today, it was a world-class save!”

Seeing Joe Hart’s wonderful performance, Rheinker was amazed! In next year’s European Championship, it seems that England’s international door is still Joe Hart!

The Chelsea fans let out a roar of dissatisfaction, and Mourinho’s hands that were about to be raised were lowered heavily, glanced coldly in the direction of the Manchester City goal, and turned and walked into the players’ tunnel.

The first half was over and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room.

Compared with the Manchester City players who are in a false alarm and cheering each other on, Chelsea’s side seems a little unwilling.

John Terry, captain of the team, was the last Chelsea player to walk into the dressing room.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was very solemn, and Mourinho’s cold gaze was locked on him from the time he pushed the door in.

Of course, he can sense Mourinho’s dissatisfaction with him, after all, his performance in the first half was really bad.

“John, can you still play in the second half?!”

Mourinho’s voice seemed to be suppressing something, and Terry glanced up at Mourinho: “Of course, BOSS!” ”

“Are you sure I don’t need to replace you now?”

Mourinho didn’t seem satisfied with Terry’s answer.

“I can still hold up at least fifteen minutes, fifteen minutes with all my might! You can replace me then! ”

Terry looked at Mourinho without fear and gave his own bottom line.

Neither continued to speak, the former mentor and apprentice pair looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room gradually deteriorated.

Finally, Mourinho snorted coldly and accepted Terry’s opinion.

There is nothing to say about the tactical set-up, Chelsea were excellent before the end and if it weren’t for Joe Hart’s sudden outburst, the situation might have been different.

With excellent results, Mourinho certainly wouldn’t risk changing his team’s attacking tactics and simply gave the order to hand the ball over to Eden Hazard.

After instructing Chelsea’s players to recharge their strength and rest, Chelsea’s dressing room fell into a dead silence.

Mourinho’s high-pressure rule has caused dissatisfaction among Chelsea players, but due to the past merits, no one dares to openly oppose Mourinho’s order!

Manchester City’s side, because it suffered a big loss before the end, of course, must make corresponding changes at this time.

Pep Guardiola is expected to start the second half with Chelsea taking advantage of the recovery and counter-attacking while the iron is hot.

Now is the time for Chelsea to rise up, of course, to avoid its edge, the core of Guardiola’s second half, is one word: drag!

Chelsea, who have many veterans, are certainly not as physically exhausted as the young Manchester City, and the backcourt contracted directly in the second half.

The midfielder uses his top ball control ability to play pass control directly with Chelsea in the middle circle, further consuming Chelsea’s physical strength and treating them like dogs!

It’s better if Chelsea don’t come to grab it, anyway, Manchester City is now in the lead, Chelsea is not in a hurry, then what else should I panic.

As for the tactics that are too conservative and will be criticized by fans and the media after the game, Guardiola does not pay attention to it at all, it is just a trivial matter.

As long as he can win this ball, how can Pep Guardiola, who was scolded in Bayern Munich, care about these messy gossip?!

Sterling and Zhao Jinge also have to be recycled near the halfway line to participate in the dog-walking tactics of the midfielders, and the skills of both of them are very sophisticated, and it is really appropriate to add two more passing points to the midfield.

After a short intermission, the players from both sides returned to the pitch and fought again.

Chelsea won the ball and once the game resumed, Chelsea continued to attack Manchester City’s half-time as they had done in the first half.

But Manchester City, adjusted at halftime, faced the front attacking group of Eden Hazard, Willian, Ramirez and Diego-Costa, and there was no confusion in the first half.

Zhao Jinge and Sterling went to harass, and Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic who played at the back of Chelsea.

Yaya Toure and Fernandinho sit in the middle, behind them is Kompany, who is ready to defend.

De Bruyne and David Silva were in charge of keeping an eye on Ramirez and Willian.

Manchester City’s central midfield began to operate in an orderly manner.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City’s confusion was because they did not recycle the attackers in front of them, thinking that Fernandinho alone could target Eden Hazard!

Now it seems to be simply delusional!

If Yaya Toure hadn’t reacted and taken De Bruyne with him, the situation might have taken a turn for the worse.

And now Manchester City, which is procrastinating, has no intention of pressing out to attack, and the attack depends on the play of Zhao Jinge and Sterling.

Just as Mourinho on the sidelines cursed Pep Guardiola’s shameless tactics.

Ramirez made a mistake and his pass was too fast, hitting Willian, who was about to catch the ball, and bouncing it out.

Seeing the football flying in front of him, De Bruyne didn’t have time to think about it, and directly handed the ball to David Silva, who was closer to the front court.

Zhao Jinge, who was not far in front of David Silva, realized that the opportunity to fight back had come, and quickly beckoned Sterling, who was not far from him, to rush forward together.

David Silva scored the ball into the Chelsea half, facing Eden Hazard, who couldn’t get rid of him.

David Silva passed the ball to Zhao Jinge, who was already close to Chelsea’s danger zone.

Looking at the transfer of the ball, Matic immediately left Sterling next to him and rushed towards Zhao Jinge, even if it was a foul!

Zhao Jinge continued to move forward with the ball, and the reminder of his teammates made him aware of the arrival of Nemanja and saw the Serbian rushing in front of him.

Zhao Jinge tilted his head to look at Sterling’s position, kicked the ball out, rushed over to prepare to intercept Matic, did not have time to think, forcibly prepared to turn around and chase the ball, but under the action of inertia it was simply too late.

On the contrary, after Zhao Jinge kicked the ball out again, he changed direction and caught up with the football, and the pass just now was a pretense, and he kicked the ball too far with force.

Successfully past the opponent’s most difficult Nemanja Matic, Zhao Jinge is already about to break into the Chelsea penalty area with the ball.

Standing between him and the goal were two familiar opponents, Chelsea’s veteran captain John Terry and goalkeeper Begovic.

Accelerating, accelerating again, with the furiest speed, Zhao Jinge headed towards Chelsea’s goal.

Chelsea’s other centre-back Gary Cahill is keeping an eye on Raheem Sterling, full-back Cesar Azpilicueta is too far away, and Ivanovic, who is closer, is also watching David Silva.

It was another one-on-one matchup, and Terry sank his body, ready to break the ball the moment Zhao Jinge approached him, and Begovic behind him had sealed the near corner of the goal.

Closer, close again, when Zhao Jinge came in front of Terry, the 35-year-old veteran decisively stepped forward to grab it!

The moment he stepped forward, Terry regretted it, his forward-stretched right leg did not tackle the football, and his outstretched arm did not stop Zhao Jinge’s passing figure.
