Chapter 481: Chelsea's Pride

"gooooooooooaa1!" cheered from the stands at Stamford Bridge.

When Drogba scored, Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich also jumped up excitedly, applauded vigorously for the goal, and kept praising Drogba in his mouth. At this moment, the Ivorian striker is a real treasure in the eyes of Abramovich.

Abramovich was in a very good mood, he was very unhappy to see the Arabs arrogant in front of him, but there was no way, who told his team to be behind in the score and not to be angry. It's okay now, Drogba's goal is too timely, he just said that he believes his team can reverse, and Drogba scored a goal here, which is really face-saving!

The Ivorians are good, very good! Abramovich has a very good impression of Drogba, who has given him a lot of face!

Drogba's goal greatly boosted Chelsea's morale, and after the two-goal lead just now, Manchester City, which was a little relaxed, also began to be cautious, although the goal just now was a reflection of Drogba's personal ability, but it also exposed Manchester City's defensive problems, responsible for marking Drogba is Richards, however, the England international obviously failed to perform, he was not able to get stuck in the position at the first time, and let Drogba block him behind him, only to watch Drogba shoot and score.

The game continued, and the two sides fell into a stalemate stage, and neither had a good chance.

However, the danger of stoppage time left the Stamford Bridge fans in a cold sweat.

Manchester City possess the ball up front.

This time, Frenkie de Jong dribbled the ball up front and the Dutch warrior played a wall-to-wall link with Zabaleta, before handing the ball to David. Silva, it's up to him to organize the attack, David. Silva passed a high-quality ball, the penalty area Ria Toure header rubbed back, Yang Fan directly volleyed, the football was bravely saved by Cech, Ashley Cole cleared the siege, but the football was Yaya Toure in the midfield to push the football back, then, Silva passed the ball to Yang Fan, Yang Fan pulled the ball and turned around directly after a long shot, Cech did not react to the ball at all, it was Ivanovic who stood on the goal line with his head to push the football out.

Manchester City came close to closing the score again before the end of the first half.

The commentators also applauded Ivanovic's goalmouth save, and the London commentators were full of praise for the Serb's outstanding performance.

On the sidelines, Ancelotti saw this scene, first shocked, and then breathed a sigh of relief, Ivanovic's rescue is of great significance, and it can almost be said to have saved Chelsea's hope of turning the tables in the second half!

The whistle finally blew at the end of the first half, and the scoreboard at Stamford Bridge was temporarily resting on the scoreline of Chelsea's 2-3 Manchester City.

The City players were a bit disappointed to miss out on a late chance to extend the score, but it was certainly a pretty good result for all the commentators and reporters to be able to take a 3-2 lead over Chelsea at half-time. You know, this is Stamford Bridge!

'The Manchester City players were more relaxed when they left the pitch and it was clear that the 3-2 half-time score was acceptable to the Manchester City players and they were in a good mood. ”

'For Chelsea, a 2-3 scoreline was not satisfactory to them, but Didier Drogba narrowed the gap to one goal in the first half and that goal will undoubtedly boost Chelsea's morale. ”

In the home team's dressing room, Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti was speaking to the rest of the team: 'You guys were good in the first half. ”

His words made the whole team stunned, they thought that Ancelotti would be a big thunder, you know, now they are behind in Chelsea, but I didn't expect that Ancelotti came up and said that it was to praise everyone for their good performance, and everyone also heard it, Ancelotti's words did not seem to be sarcastic and sarcastic, but seemed to be praise from the heart.

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the players, Ancelotti's expression remained unchanged and continued.

'In the first half of this game, Manchester City played very well, to be honest, they played better than us, and this is not to criticize you, but it is because they were able to finish the half 2-3 against this wonderful Manchester City team, so they will praise you. ”

Hearing Ancelotti say this, everyone's faces changed again and again, and Ancelotti did not criticize them, which made the whole team feel relieved, but hearing Ancelotti praise Manchester City so much, of course, it will make the Chelsea star very unhappy, not to mention how uncomfortable it feels.

Ancelotti paused, as if to observe the facial expressions of the players. Then he continued to speak.

"We thought Man City would be a little more cautious away from home, but in the first half they were completely disregarding the defense and attacking with all their might, and we were caught off guard. After this half, Manchester City must be very proud, they will even think that we have been beaten by them, the tempo of the game has fallen into their control, and if they still play like this in the second half, then let them taste our strength!"

Ancelotti clenched his fists.

"You are all good players!" Carlo Ancelotti shook his fist, "gentlemen, if I say that you are all championship players and have enough quality to compete for the title, I am definitely not exaggerating, I know how good you are, you are the best players in Europe!"

Hearing Ancelotti say this, the players couldn't help but straighten their waists, Ancelotti is not a cat and dog coach, this Italian is a world famous coach, has coached many great players, can be evaluated by Ancelotti like this, Chelsea's stars are still very proud in their hearts!

"So, now the problem arises. Carlo Ancelotti held up a finger, "One question, why are we falling behind Manchester City when we are so good?"

Chelsea captain John Terry stood up and responded on behalf of the whole team, 'Coach, I don't want to say how we played in the first half, I want to say that in the second half you will see the strength and pride of Chelsea!'

"Very good," Ancelotti nodded, "you are proud people, this is a proud stadium, you are determined to protect this stadium, to protect your pride, I see this determination, so, I am very happy, happy for you." ”

Ancelotti was very honest, which made the Chelsea stars feel that Ancelotti really admires them, recognizes them and is willing to lead them forward.

"Use your feet to teach the mob Manchester City a good lesson! Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti summed up the half-time remarks in one sentence, which completely ignited the passion of the whole Chelsea team.

Compared to the atmosphere in the Chelsea dressing room, Manchester City's visiting dressing room is much more relaxed. Most people are doing what they are interested in, some are listening to music, some are talking to other people, some are closing their eyes. Some are self-groomed, others are reading with a book, and each has their own options to adjust through the intermission.

There was also talk of Chelsea's poor first-half performance, and there was a burst of laughter.

De Jong was talking about Yang Fan's goal, and he was proud of the victory of captain Yang Fan and Chelsea captain John Terry.

"Haha, it's really cool to see Terry get blown up. De Jong exclaimed.

This resonated with other teammates, in England, Terry is one of the best defenders, and Terry is the captain of Chelsea, Yang Fan, as the captain of Manchester City, killed Terry in a direct confrontation, which boosted the morale of the whole Manchester City team.

On the other side, Chelsea captain John Terry is leading the squad through a pre-game mobilisation.

"We are kings!"

"We are kings!"

"Champion!"

"Champion!"

Every time the Chelsea captain shouted, everyone else shouted.

The Chelsea players walked out of the dressing room shouting slogans. And the head coach Carlo Ancelotti was standing at the exit of the players' corridor, high-fiveing every player to boost morale.

At this time, the Manchester City players had already arrived at the stadium, Yang Fan was standing in the center circle, he saw Chelsea coming out, he looked at the Chelsea players who came running, the Blues players had red eyes, and they looked like angry bulls.

'Be careful, the Chelsea guys don't look right. Yang Fan immediately shouted to remind his teammates.

Hearing Yang Fan's words, some people nodded, while some people obviously didn't take the captain's words to heart, and they were still immersed in the joy of leading the first half of the game.

After the resumption of the second half, the two sides fought against each other and did not give in to each other.

In the 53rd minute, Frank Lampard dribbled up front and he tried a long-range shot.

The football was blocked by De Jong with his body. Mikel grabbed David, who came up to grab the ball. In front of Silva, the ball was given to Essien, who did not keep the ball at his feet, but split it directly.

Ashley. Cole took two steps down the wing and crossed with his left foot.

Drogba headed in the box and the ball was saved by Hart and Colo Toure kicked it off the touchline.

Chelsea quickly threw the ball, Frank Lampard received the hand throw from Essien, and suddenly a horizontal pass, a blue figure rushed up, only to see him receive the ball outside the penalty area, pull the football down, and then a long shot!

The shot came so suddenly, Hart was distracted by the man in front of him, and by the time he reacted and pounced on the ball, it was too late, and the ball drew a clear arc, bypassing the hands of the Manchester City goalkeeper and almost sticking to the inside of the post and into the goal!

"gooooooa1!! Ivanovic! Ivanovic!!! brilliant long-range shot!3:3!Chelsea equalized in the 59th minute!

'Branislav Ivanovic, he scored the third goal for Chelsea!'

"Defender with a knife!

'Chelsea showed everybody their tenacity! 3-3! they equalised!'

Essien, Frank Lampard, Drogba...... Chelsea players run like crazy and are shaking their fists in celebration of Branislav Ivanovic!

Branislav Ivanovic broke past his team-mates and rushed to the underside of the main stand at Stamford Bridge, where he punched and roared at the fans.

The blue ocean began to roar.
