De Jong is Manchester City's defensive barrier in midfield. ☆ Tomato ○△ Novel Network -.

The Dutchman's interceptions in midfield cover a large area and his action is ferocious.

Ferocious?

Carlo Ancelotti groaned before a chance to score a dead ball on the pitch when he called Frank Lampard to the sidelines to give the Chelsea side an opportune look.

Carlo Ancelotti's strategy is simple, Chelsea do not intend to avoid De Jong's defensive barrier, but instead intend to open a gap from De Jong.

The defensive action is larger, so it means that it is easier to take cards!

So......

Chelsea's attack is on the rise, but Torres is not as active as his striker partner Didier Drogba. This also makes Chelsea fans more anxious, they want the Spanish star to be active, once Torres can form a synergy with Drogba, the picture is beautiful just thinking about it!

This time, Torres dropped back to near midfield, he received a pass from Ramirez, and then pulled the ball with the momentum, and saw Gareth Barry come up to intercept him, Torres passed the ball directly to Essien, and he ran forward, which was to make a wall-hitting combination.

Essien passes the ball directly.

Torres didn't stop the ball, he took the ball forward and then added chasing the ball, which was able to play to his advantage.

However, as soon as he started, he was pushed from behind and fell to the ground.

It was Frenkie de Jong, a tactical foul by the Dutchman who stopped Chelsea's attack.

The stands at Stamford Bridge were booed and to the fury of the Chelseamen, the referee still only verbally warned De Jong this time and had no intention of playing a card.

Carlo Ancelotti is a good-natured coach, and this time, the Italian was furious, protesting angrily to the fourth official, expressing his displeasure with the referee's repeated tolerance of De Jong's fouls.

Yaya Toure ran over and gave a thumbs up to De Jong, delighted with the performance of his Dutch team-mates, and with De Jong's defence, Yaya Toure was able to put more energy into attacking, which is good news for Manchester City, who are now passive. ☆ Tomato ○ Novel -.

Chelsea's free-kick, the ball went into the box, Drogba grabbed the header, this time, Kompany came to defend Drogba, the Belgian defender pushed the ball out of the box, and the ball was then driven forward by De Jong's big foot, away from his own dangerous area.

On the one hand, Motensen praised the Dutchman's defensive attitude for De Jong's timely clearance, and pointed out that this is also De Jong's shortcomings, which is the difference between a rough interceptor and a midfield playmaker.

Manchester City defended well, however, it was the result of sacrificing attack. Manchester City were relatively passive after the opening, and in such a situation, such a counterattack opportunity from defense to attack is particularly cherished.

At this time, the camera gave a close-up of Yang Fan, the captain of the Manchester City team and their number one star.

The language of the camera is very interesting: Now that the Manchester City team is so passive, as Manchester City's number one star, should Yang Fan do something?!

Yang Fan didn't know that the camera was aimed at him, but he was also a little anxious now, and he was eager to lead the team to counterattack and respond in the face of Chelsea's attack.

It's just that now that the whole team is shrinking its defense, Yang Fan naturally has no good chances.

Yang Fan's degree is very fast, and it is a sharp weapon for a team to defend and counterattack, but this also requires a good counterattack opportunity, at least now, it seems that there is no good opportunity.

Ancelotti is still relatively satisfied with the situation on the field, after three consecutive defeats against Manchester City, Ancelotti summed up the experience, that is, in the face of Manchester City, Chelsea must take the initiative from the beginning, and must not give momentum to the Manchester City attack group represented by Yang Fan.

Yaya Toure was dribbling the ball, it was a Chelsea own pass error, Lampard ran forward, and Essien passed at Lampard's feet, Yaya Toure decisively stepped up, stopped the ball and then drove forward. ☆Tomato ''-.-f-q-x's-'.-c'o-m'

Manchester City's offensive can't play, and in such a situation, Yaya Toure, who is Manchester City's attacking playmaker, must find a way.

Ramirez came up to intercept, and just as he was about to reach Yaya Toure, but there were still a few meters away, Yaya Toure's eyes lit up.

With Ramirez brought in the way, Yaya Toure saw a moment in between Chelsea's midfield and defence, and although it wasn't obvious, it was enough for the passer to exploit......

Without time to think too much, Yaya Toure passed the football straight away.

The ball rolled past Ramirez's feet, he made a sharp stop, turned to look, and saw David Silva cutting in front!

"Nice through ball!"

By the time the commentator applauded, David Silva had already caught up with the ball, he cut inside diagonally, and continued to dribble forward, Ramirez, who was supposed to be marking him, was taken by Yaya Toure's breakthrough, and now, David Silva has no one around him to defend for the time being, which gives him space to dribble the ball.

Yang Fan seemed to be running without the ball very casually.

He glanced at David Silva, and made a very subtle look, the tacit understanding between the two was full, just one look was enough.

David Silva understood and passed the football out.

And Yang Fan also interspersed forward in a timely manner.

Everyone was attracted to Yang Fan's forward insertion, which immediately attracted the attention of Manchester City's backline. They focused their attention on Yang Fan.

Alex also pounced on Yang Fan.

He was going to wait for Yang Fan to go up and steal when he stopped the ball.

To everyone's surprise, Yang Fan didn't stop the ball at all, in the process of inserting forward, he suddenly stopped, half-turned, turned his back to the goal, and faced the football passed by David Silva, and shook his ankle directly!

The football flew out again, rolling quickly against the turf, the target was the opposite direction of the direction in which Yang Fan was inserted, it was the other side, and it was Dzeko who received the football there!

"Beautiful!"

"Manchester City's pass, tearing apart the Chelsea defence!"

This was clearly the purpose of Yang Fan's forward insertion, to attract the attention of the Chelsea defence, to draw their defensive focus over, but to deflect the ball to the other side. △ △○Tomato△▽ Net --'.'f'q-x-s''.-c-o'm

Chelsea's full-back Branislav Ivanovic was the first to react when he rushed up to cover the ball and tried to break the ball.

Dzeko pulled the ball beautifully and turned around, which managed to get rid of Branislav Ivanovic's top tackle.

Then, the Bosnian ran towards the Chelsea penalty area.

If he continues to make such a successful breakthrough. Then he will face Chelsea's last line of defence – goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Because Chelsea's defensive center of gravity was pulled by Yang Fan, Dzeko's side was empty, and Ivanovic, the only closest and most likely to form an interception force, grabbed too hard and was passed by someone all at once.

"Beautiful! Dzeko's breakthrough! He broke through Ivanovic! In front of him was the goalkeeper......"

Iganovic, who had been passed, did not give up, he turned his head and rushed towards Dzeko again, because he knew that he was the last barrier in front of the goalkeeper.

Absolutely can't let Manchester City score first!

Chelsea stormed for almost 20 minutes without scoring, and now if Manchester City can win this attack, it can be said to be a huge blow for the whole Chelsea team!

Ivanovic's mind was full of not being able to score a goal.

Then, he made a hot brain move. Tomato Novel◇△ Net ---.'f'q'x-s''.com

Dzeko, who was dribbling the ball, suddenly felt a loss of center of gravity and plunged forward! He tried to keep his body rolling on the ground to reduce the damage of the impact.

This also had an unexpected effect, that is, it made people feel that Ivanovic's kick was really ruthless...... Dzeko was rolling all over the floor.

"Foul!"

"Ivanovic! God—"

"Toot!!" the whistle sounded without any suspense.

The referee ran to the place of the accident.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech also rushed out of the front of goal, he pleaded with the referee, and he quickly pulled the referee to intercede for Ivanovic.

He doesn't know how the referee will punish Ivanovic, the penalty scale is completely in the referee's mind, if the referee shows a yellow card, it's okay, but if the referee thinks Ivanovic's foul is too bad and shows a red card, you can't do anything.

Therefore, regardless of anything else, I pleaded with the referee for Ivanovic, hoping to use a good attitude to make the referee merciful.

"Sir, please don't pull out the cards!" cried Cech.

"Sir, sir, he really didn't mean to. He's going for the ball!' was John Terry's voice, and the Chelsea captain was more experienced than Cech's defence, and he was straight to the point.

"Do you dare to say that you went for football? It's all over, and the shoveling action behind this is simply too bad!" The captain of the Manchester City team, Yang Fan, also rushed over, and when he heard Terry's 'reversing black and white', he angrily denounced.

"You!" Terry turned his head, and the Chelsea captain glared angrily.

"What am I? Foul is ready to be punished! After so many years of kicking the ball in vain! I don't understand this?" Yang Fan said deliberately mockingly, his intention was obvious, wanting to provoke Terry.

Terry was angry, he clenched his hands into fists, the grudge between him and Yang Fan is not small, Manchester City has killed Chelsea three times this season, Yang Fan can be said to have embarrassed the Chelsea captain, and now, the new hatred and old hatred are coming together, and Terry is angry in his heart.

Frank Lampard, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly came up and hugged Terry, pulling Terry back, "John, don't be fooled. ”

Terry was only a little sober at this time, he broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that his old Jianghu almost fell into Yang Fan's way. That guy is so cunning now, is this still the hot-tempered Yang Fan?!

This made Terry ashamed and alarmed, as the captain of Chelsea, he was almost provoked.

Yang Fan glared at Frank Lampard with some displeasure when he saw that his plan had not succeeded, and the latter looked at him with a gloomy face.

At this time, the Manchester City team doctor also came into the field.

Players from both sides are noisy here.

There was no confusion on the sidelines.

The referee stopped more and more players from both sides who came up to defend and fan the flames, and quieted the scene, and he had to concentrate on the foul.

"Ivanovic must be apprehensive right now. ”

Branislav Ivanovic had already regretted it at this time, he was really worried that he would be sent off, if it was a blow to Chelsea to score by Manchester City, then it was definitely a huge blow if someone was sent off just over 20 minutes into the game.

The referee pulled it into his pocket.

The camera immediately followed, aiming at the referee's hand, and now it depends on whether the color of the card that the referee took out is yellow or red.

If it's yellow, then it's fine for Chelsea.

If it's red, it's a huge blow for Chelsea.

"Red! The referee's hand is red!"

The referee pulled out the red card, and he sent Ivanovic off with a red card!"

'It's a huge blow for Chelsea!'

Boos over Stamford Bridge shook the sky.

On the sidelines, Ancelotti protested angrily, in his opinion, if De Jong's two suspected foul actions before, the referee only gave verbal warnings, this is mercy, since the away team is merciful, then, as the home team's Chelsea side, even if Ivanovic's actions are enough to get a red card, then, why can't you also show mercy to his subordinates? Who is the home team?

The Chelsea man protested angrily, but the referee was unfazed and signalled for Branislav Ivanovic, who had been sent off for a red card, to leave the pitch.

'The referee sent off Branislav Ivanovic, which couldn't have been worse for Chelsea and they will have to play with one less man for more than an hour remaining!'

'It was an unfair decision, the referee was clearly biased in favour of the visitors, and the Manchester people were always taken care of in the game!' said the London commentator with rage.

The referee was sent off by Branislav Ivanovic and awarded a free-kick to Manchester City.

Yang Fan stood at the penalty spot.

The referee's whistle sounded, Yang Fan ran up, and then shot.

Because the distance was too close, Yang Fan chose to play a boccia ball very smartly this time.

The football swept forward, I don't know who it was in the penalty area, and suddenly there was a change of direction, and then, people saw that Cech, who had pounced on his left side, could only watch the football change direction and roll into the net behind him from the other side of his own.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa1！”
