i don't want to be king

Chapter 212 tit for tat
Vieira, who was sitting steadily, also jumped up, clapped his hands in frustration, then sat down helplessly and leaned back.

Li Liang's free kick was New York City's first shot in the entire first half.

Although hitting the goal frame is not counted as a shot within the range of the goal frame in technical statistics, this is undoubtedly the most threatening shot of the two sides in the first half!
Vieira began to communicate nervously with his assistants La Tanzio, Perez and others.

Before Li Liang was replaced, the physical fitness of most of the players in New York City was about to reach the bottleneck.

The several disputes with Chelsea just now ended quickly. On the one hand, Lampard mediated in the middle;

After Chelsea relied on their strength advantage to press the attack, there was a certain gap in the connection between the midfield and the backcourt. Li Liangjia was sent to take advantage of this opportunity in the offense.

At the same time, Villa was sent to further tear apart Chelsea's defense and create more space for Li Liang to move.

The development of all links is consistent with Vieira's tactical concept, but it is a pity that Li Liang did not score this excellent free kick.

If the referee shows Pasalic a red card, Vieira's tactical purpose is actually achieved.

Of course, all this was clearly seen by Gard, Southgate, Mourinho and Jardim.

Friends and relatives were equally frustrated.

In the front row of Old Xu, a burly man wearing Didier Drogba's No. 11 Blue Army jersey, with a big beard and a flushed face, turned his head and stared at Old Xu who was sighing loudly.

A few burly men dressed in punks with turbans and earrings who obviously drank a lot of wine also turned around and "photographed" Lao Xu with their eyes!

Mou Zhaoge, the three of them, Xiao Yu and Xiao Li suddenly became nervous. These big guys looked unfriendly, could they be the legendary football hooligans? !

The bearded man suddenly stretched out his hand and said loudly: "What a pity!

What a fantastic shot, number 37 is a good player, isn't he? "

Lao Xu, who was also frightened at first, looked at the bearded man and his companions, and then at the bearded man's big, hairy hands, and finally realized that he stretched out his hand and gave the bearded man a high-five!

Big Beard and his companions expressed their regrets for No. 37's free kick, and Lao Xu couldn't believe it!
He loudly told the bearded man that number 37 was from China and his name was Li Liang.

Amelia got up and called his teammates to press on, his voice visibly trembling.

Originally, in his idea, after resolving No. 37's free kick, he would yell like the big goalkeeper on the opposite side, and then humiliate No. 37.

Now he has completely dispelled this idea.

Amelia kicked the ball out, and the ball flew out of the sideline at an outrageous angle.

——Aiweisi shouted at him from the sidelines: "Calm down!".

Mourinho curled his lips and said to Mendes: "When I was here two months ago (Chelsea club fired Mourinho for the second time on December 2015, 12), there was always this problem- —

The mentality of my players always fluctuates inexplicably. "

Zouka chimed in: "Dad, I don't think the club is treating you like that fairly!
You brought them two championships last season! "

Mourinho smiled and patted his son: "It is a championship that is achieved through the dedication and hard work of all, my son.

There is no 'fairness' in professional football, only victories and championships are the greatest fairness..."

With less than 5 minutes left before the end of the first half, the home fans found that the situation on the field had changed greatly.

The Blues had already overwhelmed the defense at halftime, but they had to retreat again because of the active performance of Villa and Li Liang.

New York City seems to have a significant decline in physical fitness, but it can still implement tactics and resolutely shrink in the middle to defend firmly.

Falcao, the Blues forward with a good header, did not get a header until the end of the half-time game, and he did not even take a shot after Li Liang was replaced by New York City.

Chelsea did not continue to launch a fierce attack in the remaining time, but was very afraid of the attacking combination of Lampard, Li Liang and Villa.

The two sides ended the first half with no threat.

In the locker room of the home team, Aiweisi's face was extremely ugly.

He has studied the game video of the New York City and Manchester City reserve team many times, especially the players under him, but Vieira's early substitution obviously disrupted his pre-match subordinates.

Chelsea's performance throughout the first half was the same as that of a team in the Premier League this season - there are always long periods of winning and not scoring in the game, and intermittent and inexplicable collective downturns.

Of course, Aiweisi believes that these cannot all be blamed on the players.

He cried out, "Keep your heads up, boys!

They put on Villa, which means we have terrified them!
We didn't score just because of bad luck!

Morris told me just now that the possession time ratio in the first half was 71:29, the shooting ratio was 12:1, and the shooting ratio was 6:0. The situation has been completely controlled by us.

We only need to score the first goal in the second half, and the following goals will continue to come! "

When cheering up his subordinates, there was one thing he didn't say——

He understood that despite his advance arrangements, he was seriously undernumbered by his opponent's No. 37.

The second half of the game begins.

Because it was a friendly match, the two sides agreed not to limit the number of substitutions before the game, and both sides made personnel adjustments during the intermission.

Chelsea replaced Remy with Brazilian Robert Kennedy, left-back Baba with another Brazilian, Wallace Oliveira dos Santos (commonly known as Wallace), and American The young big center back Matt Mizga replaced the starting young center back Homero.

New York City replaced center back Hernandez with Luxembourger Maxime Chanau, American Tony Taylor for Shelton and Iraura for right winger Balocci.

Chelsea are all matchup substitutions, and they are all active substitutions due to the need for tactical adjustments.

The adjustment of New York City's central defender and forward positions is entirely because the two starters have tried their best.

Seeing that New York City replaced the right winger Balocci with full-back Elora, this made Aiweisi a little puzzled. Does Vieira want to play 5 backs and continue to defend?

Soon the tactical intentions of the coaches of both sides were presented to everyone.

Chelsea put Falcao and the newly replaced teenager Kennedy at the top and pulled Traore to the midfielder position.

Another newly replaced Brazilian teenager, Wallace, was originally playing the position of right back, and now he is obviously responsible for marking Villa, the biggest threat on the opponent's attack line.

Another big central defender with a height of 1 meters, Mizjia, has the premise of taking care of Li Liang!
——This is also to avoid another accident for Pasalic, who already has a yellow card on his back.

Aiweisi's change is very targeted, adjusting the original 433 formation to 3412, and after replacing three young players from the reserve team, the tacit understanding of the players on the field has been greatly improved.

New York City's offensive line was immediately contained extremely effectively, and Chelsea took the greater advantage and initiative after the opening of the second half.
