Chapter 1370 Flying Fairy Beyond the Sky ([-])

The match between Chelsea and Manchester City starts on Sunday as scheduled, and the winner of this game will enter the FA Cup final. situation, so Manchester City put more effort into this game, they are ready to swallow Chelsea at their home court.

This FA Cup semi-final has long been regarded by the outside world as the final staged in advance. They believe that as long as they can beat the Blues, they will be able to touch the FA Cup champion. This can at least save them a little face, and they The recent state is indeed good, defeating Manchester United at home broke Manchester United's championship dream, and now they have to face Chelsea again, and this is their fourth meeting this season.

Apart from the Charity Shield they beat Chelsea in the previous few times, all other games have been lost, and Mancini even felt that he could not even play against each other in the league less than two months ago. The team is under control, and now the chaos before has been almost brought under control, and the players have new ideas or methods, so they can put more energy on this game.

Mancini also made sufficient preparations for this game and sent the best lineup he could come up with, goalkeeper Pantilimon, back line Zabaleta, Nastasic, Kompany and Klee Xi, the midfielder Yaya Toure, Fuchs, Nasri and Milner, and the striker are the Argentine twin stars Aguero and Tevez. This lineup is considered strong even if you look at the whole of Europe. Mancini very much hopes that he can save his face by defeating Chelsea with such a lineup. Even if he has to leave next season, he can always go out with his head held high instead of dejected.

Mourinho is facing a lot of troubles in this game. Several important defenders and wounded can't play, so he can only send out a broken formation, but as long as Ai Huan is in any kind of broken formation, it doesn't count. problem.

Cech is still the goalkeeper. Cech's physical fitness has recovered after the rotation, and his condition in training is also very good, which also gives Mourinho a certain amount of confidence in the defense.Since there is no high point in Manchester City's frontcourt offensive lineup, the rough guy Cahill was placed on the bench, Terry and David Luiz appeared in the central defender position, Ivanovic and Aziz Pilicueta is on both sides, thanks to this Azpilicueta who can play on both sides, otherwise Chelsea is really going to be blind now.

Ramirez and Mikel appeared as partners in midfield. Lampard will rotate this game after playing in Russia. There are still many games to come. We must not give up everything because of one game, so Mu Rinho still let Ramirez as a midfield metronome.

The trident in the frontcourt was not retained. Ai Huan, Mata and De Bruyne started together again. The three of them have become more and more familiar with each other's tactical characteristics, and now they have become the most terrifying frontcourt combination in the Premier League. .However, the striker did not use Lukaku, who he had been optimistic about before, but Huntelaar, who has played less time recently. In fact, this is also the result of Mourinho's careful consideration. Lukaku is indeed a bit It's too poisonous. If he is in good form, he won't see any major problems, but as long as his state fluctuates, it will be a disaster for Chelsea.

Manchester City took the initiative at the beginning of the game. Their tactical guiding ideology for this game is very simple to destroy Chelsea with a fierce attack. After all, everyone now knows that Chelsea's back line is indeed problematic, and the overall state is the same, so as long as The first to score the first goal will have an advantage.

In the 4th minute, Yaya Toure made a direct pass, and Aguero hit the side net with a low shot from 14 meters from the left rib of the penalty area.In the 6th minute, Toure stabbed a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Aguero shot with his left foot from seven meters away and was again saved by Cech.In the 10th minute, Cech saved Tevez from the right side and was saved by Petr Cech. Milner took a corner kick, and Luiz took the lead to clear the ball with a header.

Chelsea's opponent predators were caught off guard, and the whole team could only be beaten passively. However, their counterattack was also very fierce. No. 11 minutes Chelsea launched a counterattack. Ai Huan did not try to break through Fuchs, who was marking him, but pushed the football directly to the goal. In the middle, Mata, who was inserted in the back row, found a space and shot a low shot directly, but the ball went slightly wide.

After 1 minute, Manchester City's midfielder made a mistake in possession of the ball and was cut off by Mikel. The football was quickly handed over to Ai Fan again. Fuchs has also been greatly improved in the Premier League this year. Huan competed for speed, but stood resolutely in front of Ai Huan and waited for the opponent to exert strength, but Ai Huan still did not accelerate and suddenly passed the ball to the left. After De Bruyne took the ball, he turned around and got rid of the defender. , out of the way and then a strong shot, the ball was firmly in the hands of Manchester City's goalkeeper.

No. In the 13th minute, Yaya Toure directly dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the opponent's penalty area after taking the ball, and distributed the ball to Clichy who was in the middle. After the player was blocked for a while, Cech got it.

No. In 15 minutes, Manchester City forcibly broke through Luiz again. Luiz, who performed well in the defensive midfielder position, looked a bit weird in his old central defender position, always giving people a feeling of being unable to let go. Si's forced breakthrough did not dare to tackle the ball easily, and only waited for the opponent to break through him before he kicked the football out of the bottom line. Manchester City got the chance of a corner kick.

Yaya Toure leaped high in the middle after the corner kick went directly to the penalty area, overwhelmed the opponent's defender and grabbed a header. Unfortunately, the ball hit the crossbar and Manchester City missed a good opportunity. Yaya Toure was not only regretful about this attack, Even Mancini in the coach's bench and the Manchester City fans all burst into sighs. Mancini kicked the water bottle in front of the bench with his head in frustration.

But before he got out of his disappointment, Chelsea's counterattack came. No.17 minutes, Mata broke through the crotch on the left side of his half and was blocked by Sabaletta. The referee verbally warned the Manchester City full-back. Then gave Chelsea a backcourt free kick.

Ramirez drove the football to the right side of the opponent's penalty area. Ai Huan raised his foot and lifted the football lightly, and then curled up under his feet like a soft kitten. At this moment, Fuke Si is more like a wild beast, staring at Ai Huan.
