Chapter 297 Old Teammates (60100)

And Kalou is doing his best on the defensive end, but although Robinho is also defending, his tendency to put on airs is also obvious.

As long as he speeds up a little, he can break through Robinho's defense zone.

So Ljungberg felt that the offensive pressure was reduced. With his rich experience, he would naturally seize this opportunity and make good use of it.

In the 70th minute, Pedro dribbled the ball on the left. Chelsea right back Ivanovic had obviously studied him. Essien, who joined the defense, did not give him the speed and space to rush up. Pedro saw no chance. Passed the ball to Ashley Young who drove in.

I ran to the middle road.

Essien quickly followed.

On the left side of the penalty area, Aguero has already leaned over, and Alex followed him closely.

The football returned to Toure's feet, and Silva ran over to cooperate with Ballack behind him.

These people need to be defended!
Chelsea's defensive players gathered four or five people here in an instant.

Toure glanced at Silva, then...

A long diagonal pass from the kick.

The football crossed half the field and landed on the right side of the field.

Ljungberg, between Robinho and Ashley Cole, received the football.

The distance was too far, and Toure's pass was a bit too big, but Ljungberg found the position very cleverly, and there was no one within a few meters of him.

Ashley Cole saw the football flying towards this side in the air, and quickly leaned forward, trying to grab a point.

Ljungberg glanced out of the corner of his eye and spotted Ashley Cole approaching.

The characteristics of this old teammate, Ljungberg who lived alongside him in Arsenal's undefeated years, are very familiar.

Ljungberg suddenly bowed his back, so as not to knock down Ashley Cole, but also slowed down his forward momentum.

The next moment, Ljungberg raised his right foot, and the football flying from the far end, like an obedient child, landed obediently on his feet without moving at all.

This stop is amazing!
But Ljungberg did not stop. After stopping the ball, Ljungberg knocked the ball backward with the heel of his left foot and turned to the right at the same time.

The ball is divided!

Ashley Cole was about to come up, only to find that Ljungberg had gotten rid of it!

Ashley Cole was stunned: My old teammate, this series of changes, seems a little different from the Ljungberg I imagined.

The Ljungberg in my impression is a conscientious and honest person, who has never been so clever.

Is this a change that only happened after he was over [-] years old?Or is it a deliberate change for yourself?

Before he could think about it, Ashley Cole chased after him.

When the two left Arsenal, they were treated differently.

Ashley Cole's transfer was at its peak, and Wenger strongly opposed his transfer. For this reason, he even fought hundreds of rounds with Mourinho in the news and public opinion.In the end, Ashley Cole made up his mind to transfer, and finally moved to Chelsea.

Ljungberg, on the contrary, was kicked out by Wenger.He really wanted to continue to play for Arsenal, and a salary cut or a substitute was fine, but Wenger told him that there was no place for him, so he could only transfer.

So against Ljungberg, Ashley Cole still has some psychological advantages.

Or superiority.

Ashley Cole went after Ljungberg with all his might.

Time urges people to grow old.

At its peak, it was still difficult for Ashley Cole to catch up with Ljungberg.

But after Ljungberg turned 30, his sprint speed has degraded. In addition, Ashley Cole sprints without the ball, and the distance between the two sides is shrinking a little bit.

Ljungberg sensed the approach of Ashley Cole and sighed in his heart. If it was such a long distance three years ago, it would take more time for Ashley Cole to catch up with him.

But now, he ran as hard as he could, but he could only watch helplessly as the other party approached.

Fortunately, I didn't come to compete with him in speed!
Ashley Cole continued to accelerate, and when he and Ljungberg only wanted to be one position away, and one step further, he could catch up with Ljungberg.

At this time, Ljungberg had already made a little observation, and then made a cross with his right foot!
Aguero in the middle quickly moved forward, from the penalty area line, obliquely inserted into the right side of the penalty area, and grabbed the front point. David Silva was in ambush near the penalty spot, ready to wait for the opportunity at any time.

However, Ljungberg's pass seemed to be a bit too strong. Aguero at the front point did not touch it, and David Silva in the middle was also passed by.

The Chelsea defender behind the point, ready to clear the ball.

But Pedro appeared out of the blue, beat him, made a flying save, and put the ball in the goal!

"2:0!"

"Manchester City take a two-goal lead!"

"My God, Ashley Cole's defense on the left has a hole. He didn't defend Ljungberg and gave the latter a chance to cross!"

"Where is Robinho? At this moment, he is still walking slowly in the midfield. Is he walking? Doesn't the team's defense have anything to do with him?"

"The advantage of two goals in the first round, if this score is maintained until the end of the game, I think Manchester City has already stepped into the threshold of the semi-finals with one foot. Chelsea will be in the second round. encountered a very difficult situation.”

Goal!
Pedro was very happy. He excitedly ran to the stands of the home fans, roared loudly, and vented his emotions.

And the teammates who ran over from all over the court hugged Pedro excitedly.

They cheered loudly, raised their arms towards the stands, and enjoyed the good feeling of the two-goal lead with the home fans.

Inside the pitch, Chelsea's players looked frustrated.

The team made adjustments at halftime and even made substitutions, but the team conceded another goal after only ten minutes of stalemate.

Cech fished the football out of the goal and drove it directly to the frontcourt, as if venting his depression.

"Cech is very sad. In this game, he made many key saves, many of which were very exciting performances. But Manchester City used two goals to make Cech's god-level performance come to naught. Cech Played like a dad and still takes the blame for the team's poor defense."

"There are still ten minutes before the end of the game. Hiddink's team still has time. I don't know what adjustments the magic coach will make?"

Hiddink didn't do anything. The moment Manchester City scored, Hiddink had already called Anelka up from the bench and whispered something in his ear.

The changes on the court did not make Hiddink feel any emotional fluctuations at all.

At least not on the surface.

Of course, in terms of action, Hiddink has already responded.

In the 80th minute of the game, Anelka came on and replaced Drogba.
