Chapter 689 Double Kill
(All kinds of requests~~~)
"The score was tied, Manchester City tied the score, and Chelsea took the lead for only 10 minutes. Ivanovic made a mistake and was caught by Silva. With a strong shot from the wind, the score returned to the starting line."
"This is definitely not good news for Chelsea. Torres has played little defensive role in Boateng, and Mata has also received special care from De Jong. As time goes by, the physical strength of the two gradually begins to show signs of exhaustion."
In the previous time, Torres and Mata were Chelsea's two best performers, but their excellence was achieved by running at all costs. Now that the time has come to the final moment of the game, the lack of physical fitness began to gradually show.
When Di Matteo considered whether to replace Torres and Mata, the situation on the field changed again, because Manchester City scored again, the second goal in 5 minutes.
In the 706th minute of the game, Manchester City made a comeback. Yaya Toure, Silva, and Li Feng scored consecutive passes into Chelsea's hinterland, but it was not the three of them who took the final kick, nor Dzeko and Aguero.
It was Zabaleta, the Argentine full-back who took the first shot in the game, and even this shot was the Argentine's first shot in recent games.
Unlike the other three full-backs, Zabaleta seldom shoots by himself, even if he plugs in, he only serves as an assistant to help his teammates.
Maybe Zabaleta didn't expect that his shot could bring the team a goal and help his team overtake the score.
However, Zabaleta's long-range shot was not a direct goal, but a penalty. After entering the hinterland of Chelsea, Li Feng transferred the ball from the left to the right.
Essien, the poor Ghana Buffalo made a mistake. At this moment, Essien retreated into the penalty area, just on the path of Zabaleta's shot, but it was not Essien's body that blocked Zabaleta's long shot, but his outstretched arm.
"Penalty kick~~~Penalty kick, the referee Dean pointed at the penalty spot, Essien, the Ghanaian handball, the moment Zabaleta shot, Ghana's arm movement was very obvious, God~~~ Poor Ghanaian, since 08, unfortunate things have been happening to him."
Essien looked at the referee pleadingly, but unfortunately, the referee did not accept it, not to mention, with this guy's appearance, it was useless to plead.
Balotelli is sitting on the bench at the moment, and naturally no one will compete with Aguero for the penalty kick. After the last penalty kick, Van Basten made it clear that Aguero will be the chief penalty shooter, followed by Dzeko.
Putting the ball on the penalty spot, the Chelsea players pushed it out nonchalantly. Essien pinned his hopes on God and his teammates.
However, Essien is destined to be disappointed. Although Cech performed very well in this game, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he cannot do more when facing a penalty kick.
"GOAL~~~Goal~~~Manchester City overtook the score, Aguero, he did not live up to the hopes of his teammates, he did not live up to the opportunities created by his compatriots, pushed to the left, Petr Cech misjudged, he rushed to the right, Manchester City rewritten the score to 2:1."
"Manchester City overtook, Manchester City overtook~~~ Perhaps, at this moment, Di Matteo is regretting replacing Meireles with Essien. It was the Ghanaian's handball in the penalty area that gave Manchester City a point."
Temateo is indeed regretting, but in this situation, even if he regrets, it is useless. All he can do now is to make substitutions, and use substitutions to change the situation on the field.
Drogba came on the field, the Ivorian old monster replaced Torres, who had declined in stamina, and then Bosingwa replaced Ivanovic.
But it wasn't serious at first, but in the next attack, just before the penalty, Manchester City's attack, Li Feng's pass, aggravated Ivanovic's injury, because Li Feng's pass was behind Ivanovic.
Originally Di Matteo was planning to replace Mata with Malouda, but now, Ivanovic signaled on the sidelines that he couldn't hold on anymore. Under such circumstances, Malouda could only end the warm-up in disappointment and return to the bench.
On the other hand, Van Basten was very fortunate. Although this was a bit of a schadenfreude, but at this moment in the game, on the football field, the enemy's misfortune is his own luck. Undoubtedly, Ivanovic's injury completely disrupted Di Matteo's final counterattack plan.
On the other side, Manchester City also made a substitution. Barry replaced De Jong with a back. In the first half, in order to stop Mata, De Jong paid the price of a yellow card at the last moment.
Five minutes after this substitution, Van Basten made a second substitution, Balotelli replaced Dzeko. Faced with this situation, the Chelsea fans immediately booed, but only a second later, the boos were covered by the cheers of the Manchester City fans.
This is just a small trick that is already the basic of the basics. Even if Chelsea is dissatisfied, it is useless. Whether it is De Jong or Dzeko, the timing is just right, which wastes time and does not make the referee bored.
Small tricks are just small tricks, and the real decision to win or lose depends on the players on the field. Drogba's debut immediately put pressure on Manchester City's defense.
Although Torres is also a world-class striker, well~~~ At least he was before he moved to Chelsea, but he is definitely not as good as Drogba in terms of oppression on the defense.
Of course~~~Manchester City's defense is not a vegetarian, not to mention facing a not completely healthy Drogba, Lescott's frontal confrontation, Boateng harassing and assisting the defense.
But even so, Drogba still created an excellent opportunity. Under the double-teaming of Lescott and Boateng, Warcraft forced Lescott away and sent a pass. Unfortunately, there were no Chelsea players in the Manchester City penalty area to respond.
Mata was blocked by Barry at the penalty area line, and Lampard was outside the penalty area, not to mention the others. In the end, the whole game entered stoppage time, and Van Basten used the last substitution.
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
