i want to be king

Chapter 856 If you don't hit me, will you die?
On March 30th, the No.[-] round of the Premier League, Manchester City was a guest at Stamford Bridge Stadium.

Ancelotti's team improved after the winter break and quickly rushed back to the top four in the league. This slightly eased Ancelotti's coaching crisis and also boosted Chelsea's morale.

For Manchester City, the three lines go hand in hand, and now is the time when they are physically and mentally exhausted.

As an Italian coach, Ancelotti is very practical. He doesn't care about the home situation at all. Instead, he speeds up the pace of the game as much as possible from the beginning. He wants to use the fast pace to overwhelm Manchester City and further consume Manchester City's physical energy.

Guardiola rotated the team lineup, with Leighton Bynes, David Luiz and other players all starting.

The two sides fought hard in the first half, but neither could score.

In the second half, Manchester City still couldn't attack their opponents.

Chelsea's starting center is Torres, who was introduced with a lot of money, but the Spanish striker's performance is average.

So far, Torres has not scored for Chelsea, which has to be said to be a very surprising thing.

This also indirectly confirmed the predictions of Sudong, Nuno Cruz and Begiristan on Torres' transfer. The Spaniard's injury is really not optimistic. Going to Chelsea at this time is equivalent to retracing Shevchenko's footsteps.

The Ukrainian nuclear warhead had just told Su Dong personally that his career planning had failed.

When the two sides fought hard for nearly six and 10 minutes, David Luiz suddenly dribbled the ball forward in an attack from Manchester City.

The Brazilian centre-back had great footwork, dribbling like a tank, heading straight into the Chelsea defense and drawing a foul from Ivanovic on the right side of the box.

Chelsea's right back is really unstoppable!
Nima, no wonder I got an afro, the explosive power is too fast!
Leighton Bynes took a quick free-kick and landed it precisely in the forward spot.

Chelsea's penalty area was full of people, but no one could stop David Luiz. He jumped up, headed a far corner with his puffy head, and headed the ball into Chelsea's goal.

After the Brazilian central defender scored a goal, he cheered loudly and ran all the way.

……

Players sitting on the bench, such as Su Dong and Pepe, also stood up excitedly after seeing David Luiz's goal and applauded him vigorously.

"Haha, Pepe, you have met your opponent!" Su Dong laughed.

Pepe scratched her head and smiled, as if to say, this kid has the demeanor of me back then.

In fact, Pepe's footwork is also very good.

"I really have some doubts, has this kid been on drugs recently?" Pepe asked with a wry smile.

David Luiz's recent performance is indeed quite good. The most important thing is that he quickly adapted to Manchester City's tactics. Not only did he shine in the defense, but he also showed his own advantages.

Just like just now, the sudden plug in was really eye-catching.

Of course, it also depends on the person. Some coaches definitely don't like their central defenders pressing up like this.

Just like in Bayern, many people don't like Lucio, the main reason is that Lucio loves to press.

So much so that when Bayern created the central defender combination of Lucio and Pepe, many people suspected that such a style of play would definitely be sieved by opponents, but in the end Bayern's defense line also succeeded.

Of course, when Pepe was sold later, it was probably because of the consideration of supporting Hummels, Budstuber and others who were more stable. These own youth trainings are more cost-effective and more obedient.

Much the same is true of David Lewis.

"His physical fitness, explosive power, speed, and passion for the game... Such defenders are extremely rare!" Su Dong patted Pepe's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you don't work harder, kid, I'm afraid the main position will be lost."

Peipei gave Su Dong a disdainful look, and patted his hand on her shoulder, as if to say: Who do you look down on?
While the two were chatting, Chelsea launched a wave of onslaught after losing the ball.

Kalou drove past Jerome Boateng wide and tried to pass the ball into the City box, but it was intercepted by David Luiz who fell to the ground to block it.

But when Manchester City instigated a counterattack, the pass in the middle was cut off, and Chelsea quickly played a long pass over the top.

It was David Lewis all the way back.

Torres took the lead, stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Two people one on one!

David Luiz suddenly stepped up while constantly retreating, grabbed the ball when Torres wanted to pass him, and successfully intercepted the ball.

The Torres man passed, but the ball was lost.

After successfully stealing the ball, David Luiz chased out of the penalty area and stopped the ball.

Lampard pressed for the first time.

Good guy!
I saw that after David Luiz stopped the ball, he did not pass it out immediately. Instead, a man came to face Lampard and passed the ball. He stabbed the ball behind Lampard.

"Wow! Xiuer!!"

Su Dong stood up from the bench, applauded loudly, and applauded David Luiz for this show.

Coach Guardiola on the sidelines was also applauding.

"Pepe, do you have this footwork?" Su Dong asked with a smile.

Pepe is very depressed, don't hit me, will you die?
Are you my brother?Or his brother?
"I'm taking a steady route now. You see, I've gotten very few cards this season, so I won't use this kind of showy footwork." Pepe said confidently.

Who said no?
The central defender defends obediently, and you pass the ball when you break it. What skills are you showing off?
Is the backcourt where you show off your skills?
But I have to say, this footwork is really cool!
Nima, you're a central defender, and Lampard probably cried when the ball was passed by the midfielder!
Ganqing didn't have any work on his feet these years, so he was too embarrassed to play football.

The goalkeeper needs to be like Neuer, and now the central defender needs to be like David Luiz. Is there any way for players in our British Empire to survive?

Su Dong looked at Pepe and wanted to ask him, where did you have the nerve to say such a thing?
Didn't you say that before?

"To be honest, this kid is really at the level of a first-line central defender in the Premier League. It can even be said that he is one of the best central defenders." Pepe said frankly.

Su Dong was not joking, and nodded, Manchester City made a lot of money from this deal.

Not to mention anything else, just David Luiz's defense, this footwork, this physical confrontation, looking at the Premier League, there are really not many.

As for his showing off skills and being reckless, it still depends on the head coach's choice.

A pass-and-control coach like Guardiola likes this type of central defender.

Once again Chelsea tried to find Torres with a pass behind, and David Luiz suddenly rushed out of the box, forced the ball ahead of Torres, and poked the ball away.

Thiago stopped the ball with his back and went back to the wing. David Luiz stopped the ball and strode forward. It seemed that he really used himself as a full-back, while Torres chased all the way back and passed the center line directly, as if turning into a defender around him.

"Torres is probably in a hurry!" Su Dong felt rather sympathetic to Torres.

He didn't perform very well in Liverpool in the first half. After arriving at Chelsea with 5000 million pounds, he still didn't improve. Now he met a David Luiz, both of whom were brought in during the winter break. As a result, David Luiz completely crushed him.

Who can bear to be crushed by someone who is worth half of himself?

"Don't say it, I really think Torres still has the potential to be a full-back." Pepe laughed, "At least this card position is good."

Bamboo shoots!
Too bamboo shoots!
Su Dong laughed.

……

Chelsea quickly made substitutions.

Ancelotti obviously also realized that the team can no longer continue like this.

Especially Torres, his performance is really sorry for his worth.

So, he replaced Torres and Kalou with Drogba and Anelka.

This is a strong signal to step up the offense.

After the substitution, Chelsea's offense suddenly changed.

Soon, in a frontcourt attack, Drogba snatched the ball and passed it to Essien. Essien passed it to Ramires. The Brazilian midfielder broke into the penalty area, stopped the ball, passed Kompany, and hit a strong volley, which equalized the score for Chelsea.

One to one!

The entire Stamford Bridge Stadium suddenly went crazy.

Manchester City seemed helpless.

After Chelsea's substitutions, the offense has obviously improved a lot, especially Drogba's playing.

Facts have also proved that what Su Dong, Begiristan and others said before is correct. What Chelsea need is a center like Drogba who can feed back the midfield, not a center like Torres and Shevchenko who needs support from the midfield.

In the final analysis, Chelsea's midfielder did not give enough support to the frontcourt.

This is actually a question of trade-offs!

……

Su Dong sat on the bench and watched Chelsea successfully equalize the score. At this time, there were still about ten minutes before the game, and he immediately stood up from the bench.

"I'm going to warm up."

Pepe nodded.

In Manchester City's pre-match planning, if the team leads all the way, Su Dong will not be arranged to play, but will have a rotation.

But not anymore.

Dzeko obviously couldn't handle Terry, and the Bosnian center's movement frequency was really a bit slow and he couldn't hold the ball.

There is no problem with his ability, but he encountered Terry, one of the strongest central defenders in the Premier League, which made him restrained.

Manchester City's frontcourt offense was not smooth, which led to the team's weak offense, too many passes in the midfield, and the opponent seized the opportunity to counterattack, which formed a vicious circle.

Therefore, Guardiola will definitely make a substitution next, and it is a high probability event to replace Su Dong.

Unless he doesn't want to win the game, otherwise, letting Su Dong up is Guardiola's best choice.

When the game was about to enter 10 minutes, the assistant coach Estiyat ran to the bench and stopped Su Dong who was warming up.

Guardiola and Su Dong chatted for a while in the command area in front of the visiting coach's bench, mainly to arrange the team's next task arrangement, especially the tactical adjustment after Su Dong came on the field.

To get rid of Terry, Su Dong is still needed!
In an 10-minute dead ball opportunity, Manchester City made a substitution.

Su Dong replaced Dzeko and came off the bench!
