Chapter 725 The First Half

Chapter 737 First Half
Mourinho walked to the sidelines, despite conceding the ball, he still looked very confident.

Under his command, Chelsea continued to use a very active midfield press and a very strong physical confrontation to form an oppression on Manchester City!
On the offensive end, Chelsea played very simply.

Mata's pass is very accurate. He can always find Drogba. Oscar's shot from the left is also a move for Chelsea to attack. Lampard is in the midfielder position. As the midfielder with the most goals in the Premier League, his shot should not be underestimated.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines, and he looked at Gao Bo who was still sitting on the coach's bench.

This made Mourinho vigilant.

Now in the situation, Chelsea dare not say that they have a big advantage, but at least they are playing a more active side!
Facing Chelsea's oppression, Manchester City actually did not come up with any good countermeasures. In this case, what else can Gao Bo rely on?
Mourinho looked at the score board on the sidelines, and then at Gao Bo, who was sitting on the coach's bench with his legs crossed.

It seems that I have overlooked something.
Where exactly?

This time, Chelsea grabbed the ball again and then went on the attack.

The football was passed to Lampard's feet. Under the pressure of Fernandinho, Lampard slightly protected the ball, and then played a crossover with Mata!

Mata moved laterally to the middle, Lampard handed the ball to Mata! !

Mata led the ball to the middle, and then pocketed the ball to the left with his left foot!
Oscar has already pulled to the left to respond!
Mata's pass timing was very good. When Oscar first came up, the ball had already passed.

This time, Chelsea's offensive situation was completely opened up, Oscar calmly crossed the ball after receiving the ball!

Drogba jumped high in the middle and overwhelmed Maguire to complete the header!

This time Joe Hart made a beautiful save, his body soared into the air, and his right hand jumped high.

Drogba's header just hit his hand, and he shot it out of the baseline! !

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!! What a pity!! Drogba's header was saved by Hart, Joe Hart saved Drogba's header!!!"

"Drogba's header has been completed very well, but it is still blocked by the goalkeeper!"

"Beautiful! Chelsea's series of attacks fully demonstrated their offensive creativity. Mata was Chelsea's best player in the past two seasons, but Mourinho doesn't like this type of player. Therefore, Mata didn't get many opportunities this season. But judging from Mata's performance just now, Mourinho may really need him. Look at his pass! His penultimate pass is still so sharp!"

The penultimate pass refers to the pass received by the assisting player before the shot is completed.

Many people will pay attention to goals, and assists are also what fans pay attention to.

However, in the eyes of many professionals, players who can pass a sharp penultimate pass are also very important.

Just like the pass that Mata gave to Oscar, his timing of the pass, the control of the passing line and the point of landing, just enough to allow Oscar to reach the ball with almost no adjustments, and immediately pass the ball into the penalty area, giving Drogba a chance to head the ball.

If the ball was passed too early or too late, or simply did not see Oscar, then the offense this time would be gone.

This kind of creative passing can create a greater threat attack.

Chelsea's offense has improved, but Manchester City's offense has also gradually begun to rise.

Manchester City's players gradually adapted to Chelsea's strong physical confrontation and fierce fighting. In fact, they encountered many teams who liked to use this tactic against Manchester City.

However, Manchester City can still break through the opponent's blockade and create some opportunities through the tacit cooperation of the players and superb skills.

Griezmann takes the ball and confronts Kante!
This has aroused great concern and interest from many fans.

Starting from Luton, Griezmann and Kanter are teammates, and the familiarity between the two is self-evident.

The camera focused on these two players.

Griezmann made a sudden stop, and Kanter followed suit!
Then, Griezmann turned one and a half on the spot, as if intending to use his ankle to pocket the ball.

On the other hand, Kanter did not watch Griezmann's foot movements, but leaned his body directly, seeking direct physical contact with Griezmann.

And Griezmann pulled the football back again, turned around in the opposite direction, and then started! !

"Beautiful!!! It's over!!!"

Before the commentator finished speaking, Kanter turned his body around, successfully threw his body out, fell to the ground, shoveled, and shoveled towards the football!
At the same time, Griezmann jumped up the ball, trying to avoid Kante's tackle.

But in the end, both of them fell to the ground.

"Foul!!!" Manchester City fans in the stands roared loudly.

Oliver, the referee of this game, put his whistle in his mouth, ready to call Kanter a foul, but when a blue figure moved forward quickly, passing Griezmann and Kanter who fell on the ground, Oliver raised his hands forward!
Kaka runs past Griezmann and throws the ball forward! !

Offensive advantage! !
Manchester City continue to attack! ! !

At this time Ramirez was also pulled out! !

He gritted his teeth and accelerated, but he was not planning to catch up with Kaka, but accelerated in a straight line near the baseline - Ramirez also knew that it was very difficult to catch up with Kaka with the ball.

Now Kaka is on the wing. If he wants to shoot, he will inevitably need to take the ball to the center, and Ramirez will be able to catch up by then.

However, Kaka does not intend to continue to take the ball to the penalty area. The confrontation between Kanter and Griezmann was delayed for a while, but because the two fell to the ground, many players paused, which gave Manchester City a chance.

Kaka quickly picked up the ball, and he passed the ball to the front of the penalty area! !
Where is David Silva?

Just when he was about to shoot directly, David Luiz, who rushed out of the penalty area, quickly rushed up to tackle the ball!

David Silva was ready to shoot, but when a gust of wind blew, he sensed danger!

If he doesn't jump up, he's sure to get a solid shovel from David Luiz -- which could even lead to his injury.

The Spanish midfielder jumped up in a hurry, and then he was knocked to the ground by David Luiz while he was shoveling the ball away! !

"Wow!!! David Luiz's vicious tackle!!!"

There was a burst of exclamation in the stands! !

However, just when the Manchester City fans thought they would have a free kick in a good position, the referee Oliver crossed his hands.

"No foul?!" Gao Bo was extremely angry, "Why doesn't he foul?!"

Gao Bo sat on the coach's bench. He was very calm at first, but when he saw David Silva fell to the ground and the referee said no foul, Gao Bo couldn't sit still and rushed out of the coach's bench! !
"Bastard!! How could this not be a foul?!" Gao Bo was furious, and protested loudly to the fourth official on the sidelines, "This is a vicious tackle directed at people! Such behavior must not be allowed on the field, this is a foul worthy of a warning card!!!"

The fourth official looked at the furious Manchester City coach with a dark face: "Coach Gao Bo, please pay attention to your emotions!!"

"I control you." Before Gao Bo's swearing came out, Moya, who rushed over in a panic, covered his mouth and pulled him back at the same time!

Gao Bo also knew that Moya came in time, if he swears, it will be terrible.

However, he was upset!
Gao Bo glared at the fourth official resentfully, and was dragged back to the coaching bench by Moya.

In the stands, cheers and boos sounded at the same time!

The TV broadcast was still replaying David Luiz's tackle just now.

In the TV screen, when David Silva jumped up, David Luiz did shovel the ball, but before he came up aggressively, if David Silva didn't jump, this time, even if he didn't get injured, David Silva was uncomfortable, because when Luis tackled the ball, he directly showed the sole of his shoe.

But this is the scale of Oliver's game.

He seemed determined not to call a foul on such a move.

When the cheers and boos from the stands grew louder, the TV screen quickly switched back to the scene!
At this point Chelsea has passed the ball to the front right! !
"Mata got the ball!!!"

Mata stopped the ball on the right!
David Luiz's tackle caused the scene to temporarily appear chaotic, but Chelsea seized this opportunity and passed the ball up the field!
Manchester City's players quickly returned to defense. At this time, Mata had already passed the ball, and he passed it to the penalty area! !
Hart hastily attacked, punching the ball out of the penalty area.

Fernandinho, who rushed back to defend, rushed to make a clearance, but the ball was slightly flawed, and the football did not go far!

And at this moment, Kanter suddenly rushed up.

When people saw Kanter adjusting his pace, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Impossible?"

Suddenly Kante is indeed ready to shoot! !
He saw that Joe Hart hadn't fully returned to the penalty area after attacking, so Kanter was already adjusting his pace when he rushed up, and then volleyed with his right foot! ! !

This ball is very low! !
The shot quality is high! ! !

The football flew up, but it didn't fly too high. Joe Hart hurried to the goal line, but it was already too late!

When the football fell from the other side, cheers erupted in the stands!

Chelsea fans jump to their feet! !
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"World wave!! Super world wave!!! Kanter volleys from a distance of about 35 meters from the goal! The football hits an obvious downward arc. Although the angle is not tricky, his shot is very sudden. Hart, who just attacked, has not had time to return to the goal line!"

"One to one!!! Game No. 208 minutes!! Chelsea equalized the score!! Look at Mourinho's excitement"

Mourinho was indeed very excited. He clenched his fists and ran back and forth for a short distance on the sidelines. In the end, he even slid and kneeled directly, and then knelt on the ground and waved his fists! !
That's right! !Chelsea can score! !

This goal made Mourinho see the hope of victory! !

Is it finally about to win?

The excited Mourinho was surrounded by the rushing Chelsea coaches, and all the Chelsea people were very excited.

On the field, the Manchester City players looked at each other helplessly.

This goal is really speechless.

The first was David Luiz's tackle. Everyone thought it was a foul, but the referee thought it was not a foul.

With Oliver's loose scale in this game, it is really not surprising that he made such a penalty, but with a loose penalty scale, Chelsea's simple and rough style of play is obviously more beneficial.

And the second accident was Kanter's long shot!
With such a long distance, they really didn't expect that Kante could press the ball so low.
Gao Bo shook his head helplessly.

The current Kanter is much better than Kanter in another time and space. After all, he was discovered by Gao Bo very early and started to play high-level games, which made Kanter's progress very fast.

Especially when it comes to long shots.

Kanter's shooting power is very strong. When he was in Luton, Gao Bo asked Kanter to strengthen his long-range shooting training. During his time at Atletico Madrid, Kanter also often scored long-range goals.

A defensive midfielder with long-range shooting skills.

Gao Bo sighed, and didn't know what kind of mood he was in at this moment. He made Kanter even better, but he couldn't be Kanter's head coach forever.

This is professional football
After the goal, Chelsea wanted to continue to attack aggressively.

However, in the 306th minute of the game, after Hart sent another long pass with strong penetrating power, Mourinho realized that maybe everyone's imagination about Hart was wrong!
When Chelsea pushed forward, especially after Drogba pounced on Hart, Hart, who gained confidence, even looked at the positions of several attackers in the frontcourt, and then directly made a long pass!
The ball was so fast that he just passed over Cahill's head! !

"Azar!!!"

Amidst the exclamation of the commentators, Hazard successfully reversed offside and broke into the penalty area. He was finally hit by Gary Cahill, but before the center of gravity in the city, he poked the toe of his right foot and stabbed the ball towards the goal!
The football quickly rushed towards the goal!

Seeing that this is about to cross the goal line!

Cech saved Chelsea at the last minute!
"Cech!!! Incredible save!!!"

"It was unbelievable, Petr Cech flicked the ball over the line and he denied Hazard the shot he was going to win!!!!"

Azar put his head in his hands.

Chelsea were too high overall, which gave him a chance to sprint.

However, Cech's performance made this goal that almost crossed the goal line rejected! !
Gao Bo waved his hand regretfully.

And Mourinho on the sidelines burst into a cold sweat.

He immediately shrinks Chelsea back.

If Manchester City is allowed to do this again, Cech may not be able to do anything.

Mourinho looked at Hart.

Gao Bo's team will always have something that he feels is unexpected.

Kaka is so.

Now this Hart too
And now, there is not much time left in the first half of the game.

In the last few minutes, neither team was able to create any too threatening offensive.

With the whistle of the referee Oliver.

The first half is over!
