Midfielder.

Chapter 219

According to the current ferocious momentum of Chelsea in the two-line battle, many football critics believe that in the Premier League, only Arsenal can prevent this group of blues from plundering victory so wantonly. The struggle for hegemony may turn into a civil war in the city of London.

I am afraid that not many people can predict that Chelsea will form such a strong fighting force in such a short period of time, but now Mourinho has told these people with facts that everything is possible.Even if he is a pure mercenary, he can bring the team to the final podium.

And it's not a podium, because many people can see that Chelsea's current staffing is enough to support its third-line operations.

Especially in the league and the Champions League, enough experience will give these blues an advantage when grabbing points, which is really terrifying.

Now it is just the beginning of all competitions. If we fight until the middle and late stages of the season, Chelsea's solid bench advantage will undoubtedly be highlighted.

At that time, who can stop them can only ask God. Anyway, this season, teams like Manchester United and Liverpool must have a hard time.

Even so, Kenyon also claimed to provide Mourinho with more available talents during the winter transfer period. As long as this guy asks who he wants to buy, Chelsea will definitely satisfy this guy's wish, as long as the other party is willing to let him go , Chelsea will not be stingy with spending money to acquire any players.

However, when Chelsea is so prosperous, there will always be various accidents on the football field, for example, they will also encounter losses.

Losing, for Chelsea, who have never tasted defeat since the warm-up before the season, it seems that it is a feeling that has been almost forgotten by them.

But no one thought that the one that could end Chelsea's undefeated record would be Manchester City, a standard bastard team that had only been ranked ninth in the standings.

Although they are in Manchester, compared with their neighbors in the same city, Manchester City just spend more time in the Premier League.

The results are always the same, and the investment is always the same, but in the standings, they almost never made it to the top three.

You know, in the last ten confrontations between the Manchester people and Chelsea, they have lost nine games in a row, whether it is home or away.

Such a team, which only won two games in the first eight rounds of the league, actually scored three points against Chelsea. This is probably something no one could have predicted.

Is this a crazy situation?Chelsea fans, including those who had watched the game, were a little confused, because the process of the game was so weird.

From the warm-up stage of the game, Drogba and Lampard had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from the game because of a sudden thigh strain. This forced Mourinho to make a substitution, and Mutu and Gudjohnsen were replaced. At that time, their forward line had returned to a duo that was not commonly used.

Maybe Gudjohnsen can stand in the center of the penalty area as a bridgehead like Drogba, but Mutu can't keep up with Lampard in his ability to grab points.

Especially the cooperation between him and Lin Yi always lacked a little spirit, which also became Mourinho's heart disease in the subsequent games.

Although they lost two generals before the game, Chelsea still have a greater advantage in terms of overall strength, but the reality is so weird and unpredictable, especially on the football field, you never know what will happen in the next second. What happens, like everything that happens in this game.

In the first three 10 minutes of the game, it was almost as if Chelsea were playing at home. Manchester City fans were completely dumbfounded watching the opponent's frenzied offensive. The often nervous goalkeeper James.

This guy is such a jerk, you never know when he's going to make a mistake, and likewise, you don't know when he's going to explode, just like this game started, this guy is James The guy is in a pretty crazy state.

Whether it's Gudjohnsen's header from close at hand, or Mutu's two consecutive supplementary shots in front of the goal, that guy can hold the football under him.

Robben's kick cut in and then shot was blocked by this guy with his toes strangely when he lost his center of gravity. Even for a moment, Lin Yi wondered if he was cursing God because he was fine. That old guy, this old grandson is possessed by James.

Otherwise, you really can't explain such a weird situation, that guy simply weaves an invisible net for Manchester City's goal.

In the first three and 10 minutes, Chelsea fired a total of eleven shots, but Manchester City's goal seemed to be locked, and they refused to score.

The deeper the opponent retreats in defense, the harder Chelsea will press, although Mourinho has reminded his defense to pay attention to the opponent's counterattack.

But facing an opponent like Manchester City, many Chelsea players just want to eat the opponent in one bite, especially when the opponent retreats indefinitely, they will not waste this opportunity to suppress the opponent, and attack across the board!Including Terry and Carvalho both pressed for headers when setting the ball.

Chelsea's offensive is indeed very fierce. They seem to want to continue their strong scoring momentum in the previous rounds, but at this time, their defense line has the kind of looseness that shouldn't be there, especially It was during set-pieces that the central defenders kept pressing up.

When your concentration is slack, some troubles will always come to you inadvertently. Chelsea's attack also has fatal hidden dangers.

When No. 307 minutes, Duff's free kick was punched out by James from the center of the penalty area, Manchester City's counterattack suddenly appeared.

Originally, this was not an opportunity, but Gallas, who replaced Bridge as the full-back, fell down strangely when intercepting in the midfield.

This guy's foot slipped and gave the Manchester City captain a chance to go straight in. Bosvelt drove the ball forward at high speed. Terry and Carvalho were still desperately chasing back at this time, and Mourinho stood on the sidelines and saw During this scene, he could only shout at Makelele, "Stop him! Foul!"

But just when the French midfielder was about to bring down the opponent, that guy seemed to have foreseen the movement behind him in advance, and suddenly chose to pass the ball.

Anelka, who received the ball, is known as a lone wolf, and this guy really didn't waste his title. When facing Ferreira's pressing, he resolutely chose Qiangdu. Ferreira, who was defending, had no chance to block this guy at all, so he could only use his body to shake the opponent hard.

But Ferreira obviously forgot what level of star the opponent is, but when this kind of physical contact occurs in the penalty area, the forward will have many choices.

For example, when the body collides and falls heavily, a striker like Anelka does not often use such tricks, but it does not mean that he will not play this way. When seeing Anelka fall on the turf The moment he got on, Ferreira realized that this was really a bad choice!

Perhaps such collisions are not uncommon in Premier League games, but who made Ferreira push his hands when he was fighting for a position with his opponent.

And this is Manchester City's home court, you can imagine how timely the referee's whistle will sound.When the referee pointed to the penalty spot, Mourinho turned around and kicked the awning pillar of the bench hard. This was really a bad penalty for him!

A penalty kick, and Ferreira got a yellow card, even if this guy is arguing with the referee, it will not change the fact that this cannot be changed in the slightest.

1:0, Anelka's penalty kick cheated Cech, and by the way, broke Cech's golden body in the Premier League. After scoring this goal, Manchester City retreated across the board. The line of defense starts from the midfield. They have made up their minds not to give their opponents any opportunities to take advantage of.

The tough battle, this time it was a very thorough one, because the opponent didn't even plan to attack after halftime except for leaving Anelka in the frontcourt.

Manchester City may only play so bloody in the same city derby with Manchester United, but this time, Chelsea also experienced the fierceness of their opponents.

The opponent didn't even think about offense. All their energy was put on defense, and it was a mobilization of the whole people, including those few referees.

Manchester City knew very well who was the most dangerous midfielder in the Chelsea team, so they did not hesitate to use various foul tactics against Lin Yi, including some very dangerous moves, but the referee seemed to be very stingy in this game and blew his own Whistle, he only gave verbal warnings for many fouls.

Even if Mourinho protested loudly on the sidelines, he could only get a hint from the fourth official that this is Manchester City's home court, you'd better restrain yourself.

Lin Yi also caused the entire Manchester City team to pay a heavy price in such a crowd tactics. Throughout the second half, Chelsea won a total of nine free kicks.

Only two of them came in exchange for Robben's breakthrough, and the rest were the result of Lin Yi being knocked down by the opponent in the process of dribbling and breaking through. However, Chelsea's foot style in this game was too bad. Chances, they didn't translate into the final goal, and the football slid past the goal again and again.

In the 45 minutes of the second half, Chelsea was in an offensive and defensive battle with Manchester City, one was attacking with all its strength, and the other was defending with all its strength.

Sticking to it, Manchester City finally defended such a score after paying the price of six yellow cards. They celebrated such a victory with their hands high after the game, as if they had won the league championship at this moment, and what Chelsea can get The result was the first defeat in the league.

But there is an old saying, which seems to be forgotten by many people, don't piss off a pack of wolves, otherwise, they will tear your body apart with anger.

And now Chelsea is a beast that has been irritated by others. Losing may be difficult for them to accept, but this kind of failure may become a catalyst, making these guys even crazier. Who will be the next victim?Just pray to God. . .

(The Lakers were also a tragedy today. In the third quarter, they were beaten by the Kings with an 18:4 spurt. This... was 18 points behind in one fell swoop, which is too tragic.)
