Football: start copying peak Messi attributes

Chapter 340 The Magic Lamp Lampard

During the intermission, Pellegrini repeatedly reminded the players not to be irritated by the opponent's words and actions, to control their emotions, and not to receive yellow cards anymore.

The team members were humming on the surface, but they were actually thinking about how to kill Chelsea's bastards.

If you don't fight back after being beaten, is that still a man?
This is the Premier League, not La Liga!

Although the players had different ideas in their hearts, they resolutely implemented Pellegrini's offensive tactics after returning to the game.

After the opening of the second half, Manchester City launched another fierce attack on Chelsea, as if they wanted to replicate the goal at the end of the first half.

In the 47th minute, Manchester City won a corner kick.

Lin Quan took a tactical corner kick and passed the ball to Silva.

After Silva attracted the opponent's players to grab the ball, he put the ball in the penalty area.

This time the cooperation was very good and it also created opportunities. Unfortunately, the Manchester City players who were in charge of the offense failed to grab the first spot. The football was cleared by Chelsea captain Terry.

Two minutes later, Manchester City's offense made a comeback.

Lin Quan scored the ball to the wing and advanced forward, and De Bruyne sent a through kick.

Lin Quan's long-range shot at the front of the penalty area was pushed out of the crossbar by Courtois, and Manchester City won another corner kick.

This time, Lin Quan chose to hoist the corner kick directly into the penalty area. In the melee in the penalty area, the football was confiscated by Courtois.

In the past few minutes, Manchester City's offense has been very violent, but under the excellent performance of Courtois, Chelsea's goal has never been broken.

After Courtois returned to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid this season, he used some means to successfully force the palace and snatched the starting position from Petr Cech.

At the beginning, the fans of the Blues didn't trust him very much. After all, Cech has guarded the goal for Chelsea for many years, and everyone can see Cech's strength.

And Courtois is just a young goalkeeper born in the 90s. Can he be as stable as Petr Cech?
Now, Chelsea's players seem to be able to keep their hearts in their hearts.

In the few games that Courtois started on behalf of Chelsea, he played very well.

Especially those flying saves that are highly ornamental, they look pleasing to the eye, very like a top goalkeeper.

In the face of Manchester City's crazy attack, Chelsea is not completely passive and does not fight back.

In the 53rd minute, Chelsea won a free kick in the middle.

Cesc Fabregas takes a free kick and tries to hoist the ball into the penalty area.

But while the ball was in flight, it seemed to hit the defender's arm. Chelsea's players immediately complained to the referee, thinking it was a penalty.

But the referee ignored the request of the Chelsea players and refused to award a penalty.

This penalty made Chelsea's players very dissatisfied. Their coach Mourinho complained emotionally to the fourth official on the sidelines.

Because his words are more intense, and his tone is not very friendly.

The fourth official notified the referee through the headset, and the referee came over, showed Mourinho a yellow card and warned him.

Mourinho has a history of being expelled by red cards many times. Once he is expelled, he will not be able to command the team to fight.

So after receiving a yellow card, Mourinho had to be honest.

Although Chelsea's players did not get a penalty, their protests had some effect.

It seems that in order to balance the penalty just now, the referee made some supplements in the subsequent game.

In the 55th minute, Manchester City took a tactical free kick and Silva put the ball straight to the left rib.

De Bruyne was brought down by Cahill in the penalty area. This is more obvious than the suspected handball foul by Manchester City players just now. It stands to reason that this should be a penalty kick.

But the referee didn't make a decision, and only gave Manchester City a free kick.

Now, it's the turn of Manchester City's players to be unhappy.

You don't judge such an obvious foul, what do you mean?

After this obvious missed judgment, the emotions of the Manchester City soldiers, who had gradually stabilized, began to become irritable again.

In the 58th minute, Diego Costa elbowed Zabaleta and received a yellow card.

Zabaleta, who was elbowed, was very angry, and when he got up from the ground, he wanted to find Diego Costa for a theory.

If it weren't for the players on both sides to hold them back, the two would probably be fighting.

Although stopped by his teammates, the anger in Zabaleta's heart did not subside.

In the 61st minute, Chelsea's counterattack, Diego Costa was met with a retaliatory tackle by Zabaleta while dribbling the ball.

The latter made a diving move, hugged his ankle and rolled several times on the ground, while screaming like a pig.

The referee hesitated for a moment, and Zabaleta had already received a yellow card.

If he draws another card at this time, two yellows will turn into one red, and he will be expelled from the game.

It's just that he has endured Zabaleta's previous fouls, and this time he can't ignore them.

So, he still took out the yellow card and warned Zabaleta.

Then he drew a red card and sent Zabaleta off the field.

Seeing this penalty, the Manchester City fans at the scene booed collectively, not knowing whether they were booing the referee or their opponents.

On the sidelines, after seeing the penalty, Pellegrini thumped in his heart, and immediately felt that the situation was very bad.

There are 10 minutes left in the game, and they are missing one player, and the situation will fall into a huge disadvantage.

Chelsea will not let go of such an opportunity, and the next game may become very difficult!
In order to ensure the stability of the defense, Pellegrini had to replace David Silva and put on Milner.

Manchester City, who played at home, was forced to play 10 against 11, and Manchester City's formation changed from 4231 to 4221.

Seeing that there were few people in Manchester City, Mourinho made a decisive substitution, and replaced two people in one breath.

He brought in Mikel and Oscar, and replaced Ramires, who was booked, and Willian, who was underperforming.

Mourinho's substitution intention is obvious, continue to accumulate manpower in the frontcourt and strengthen the offense.

Only one goal behind, with Chelsea's strong attacking power this season, they are fully able to pull back the score and even complete the reversal!

Mourinho's substitution adjustments achieved immediate results. Thanks to the numerical advantage in the midfield, Chelsea gradually took control of the midfield under active fighting.

In the 65th minute, Cesc Fabregas took a corner kick on the right, and Ivanovic flew the header to the back point. Diego Costa, who was ambushing at the far post, fell to the ground and completed a tackle.

However, Navas had already noticed Diego Costa's movement, so he completed the block the moment the opponent shot, and almost blocked the opponent's must-have goal from the goal.

The Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium broke out in a cold sweat, and all of them couldn't help but gasped.

Fortunately, the team bought back a top goalkeeper, otherwise, the score would have been equalized at this time.

However, Chelsea's attack did not stop.

In the 71st minute, Ivanovic stepped into the frontcourt and sent a very high-quality cross.

Diego Costa handled the ball very skillfully. He turned around, wiped Mikel to the right, poked the ball with his toe, and sent the ball to Hazard who was empty on the right.

Facing such a nanny ball, Hazard didn't waste the opportunity and sent the ball into Manchester City's goal in one fell swoop.

1: 1!

Chelsea equalized the score!

Losing a goal at this time is almost fatal to Manchester City, which is behind in number.

Whether it is the players on the field or the fans who came to watch the game, they can't help but feel a little worried at this time.

Chelsea's strength is strong, and their morale is high at this time. Can Manchester City, which lacks one man, still block the opponent's fierce attack?
Thinking of Chelsea's 4-0 victory over Schalke 04 in the just-concluded UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City fans couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Chelsea this season is completely different from last season.

Scoring goals is no longer difficult for them.

"Why are you so pessimistic? This is our home field!"

Seeing the low morale of his teammates, Lin Quan said loudly.

"That's right, what's wrong with the lack of people? With ten people, we eliminated Real Madrid away. Is Chelsea more terrifying than Real Madrid?"

Hearing Lin Quan's words, De Bruyne also stood up and echoed.

Last season, Manchester City's most dangerous game in the Champions League was the one away against Real Madrid.

When the score was behind and one person was sent off, they performed a miracle and reversed and eliminated the mighty Real Madrid.

Even experienced such a battle, what is there to worry about in such a scene now?
At least this is their home field, and they are not behind!
"That's right, this is our home stadium, we can't let Chelsea's people run wild here!"

"Rush forward and overthrow them with offense!"

The players were already full of anger, but at this time Lin Quan's few words completely aroused their fighting spirit.

Pellegrini was very relieved to see that the players still had such a fighting spirit in this situation.

He looked towards the bench and stayed on Fernando and Lampard for a long time.

In the end, Lampard was chosen.

Lampard is a B2B all-round midfielder with a very good long-range shot and stronger offensive ability than Fernando.

Moreover, among all Manchester City players, no one is more familiar with the opposite Chelsea than him.

At this time, we can only hope for the veteran's experience!

Seeing that Manchester City replaced Lampard, the Manchester City fans at the scene were a little puzzled. Shouldn't Kroos be replaced at this time?

With Kroos' offensive ability, Manchester City's offensive threat will definitely be greatly improved after he plays.

"What is the engineer thinking? Why not change to Mr. Tony?"

"That's right, countless games have proved that the combination of Mr. Tony + De Bruyne and Lin Quan is invincible and unstoppable!"

"I think it's probably because there are few players on our side and the midfielder lacks hardness, so we need to change to a player with strong physical confrontation ability and certain offensive ability?"

"Well, that's probably the case!"

"But this guy has such a deep relationship with Chelsea, shouldn't he be an undercover agent?"

"No way? He's a professional player anyway, so he shouldn't be confused about the occasion!"

"Anyway, just believe it first!"

Manchester City fans are skeptical about this substitution, while Chelsea fans have mixed feelings.

Seeing an old player who has played for his team for 14 years, wearing an opponent's jersey and appearing on the field as an opponent, I feel a little mixed.

"Hey, I don't know why the club didn't renew Lampard's contract!"

"Yeah, the magic lamp has worked for the Blues for so long, and obviously there is still fuel in the tank, why not renew his contract, even for one year!"

"Although the magic lamp is a bit older, haven't Pirlo and Harvey renewed their contracts with the club?"

"If the contract is renewed for another year, Lampard is likely to die in the Blues. Alas, it's a pity that I can't see this scene!"

The situation on the field is favorable to Chelsea, so Chelsea fans are more relaxed at this time, which is why they are in the mood to discuss Lampard.

After Lampard came on the field, he quickly resolved Chelsea's offense with a clean defense.

Seeing this scene, the good mood of Chelsea fans disappeared instantly.

Later, when they saw that Lampard used a tackle to prevent Xiaofa from advancing with the ball, they cursed one by one:

"Depend on!"

"This is really..."

"Magic Lamp, take it easy, all your old teammates are on the opposite side!"

Lampard is very professional and now he is wearing a Manchester City shirt, so naturally he has to give his best for the team.

Moreover, he also took care of his old teammates and did not directly foul them.

As for Fabregas?
Hehe, when I was at Chelsea, this guy was the captain of the sworn enemy Arsenal!
What psychological burden can I have for fouling the former captain of Arsenal?
Not at all!

Poor Cesc Fabregas, he played very uncomfortable in the midfielder position in this game.

Manchester City pressed him fiercely at the beginning. When Chelsea's players took turns fouling Lin Quan, Manchester City's players were not idle.

And the object of their foul is Cesc Fabregas.

Lin Quan has the talent of immunity to injuries, so he is not afraid of fouls by the opponent, and even earned three yellow cards for it.

But Cesc Fabregas doesn't have such a talent. Every time he is kicked down, he grins his teeth in pain.

If he hadn't relied on tenacious perseverance to persist in the game, he would have applied for a substitution long ago.

I can't fall, the team can win right away.

As long as we win this game, we can lead the standings!
Xiaofa, who fell to the ground grinning in pain, was still cheering for himself.

After leaving Barcelona, ​​Xiaofa seemed to be a different person, becoming more desperate than before.

Lampard's role is not only reflected in defense. In the 81st minute, Manchester City launched a fast break after stealing the ball. After Lin Quan and Milner cooperated continuously on the right, Milner knocked the ball across to the front of the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Lampard glanced at Chelsea's goal and played a world wave without hesitation.

He has fought for the Blue Army countless times, but today, he will break the Blue Army's goal!

Sorry, Chelsea fans!

Sorry, Boss Abu!
