For the remainder of the first half, Manchester City were fully passive, with one less man on the pitch showing their disadvantage. Tomato '''.'f'q-

Chelsea also took advantage of this opportunity to continue to put pressure on the Manchester City goal, but fortunately, the Manchester City team's defense did a decent job, although the scene was a little embarrassing, but after all, there was no goal conceded.

And Yang Fan's performance during this period of time was also relatively quiet, mainly because the Manchester City team was almost fully defensive, and even Yang Fan had to come back to defend the team, in this case, Manchester City basically had no energy to carry out the offensive.

In this way, when the last game ended, the score was still 1-0, and the Manchester City team playing away was ahead, but in terms of the number of players on the field, it was Chelsea who were ahead!

City's players are a bit exhausted and the pressure on them from Chelsea's attack is too much.

It's not just physical, it's psychological.

Mancini didn't say much at half-time because the whole team looked tired, and now, the most important thing for Manchester City is to recover from the passivity of the first half, so to speak, this break came too timely, Mancini is well aware that from the last moments of the first half, Manchester City's goal is almost precarious and can concede at any time.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were down in numbers but had the upper hand and the fact that Chelsea were almost pressing Manchester City in the final stages of the first half gave them optimism about the equaliser and the eventual victory, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was good.

After a fifteen-minute half-time break, the second half began.

City also made a substitution, with Dzeko coming off and Richards coming off the bench to fill the void that Kolarov had been sent off.

One change was noticed at the start of the second half, with their attacking intensity still being strong, but the return was timely and the midfield was getting harder, and it was clear that City's counter-attacks were causing them to linger. ☆ Tomato ○ Novel -.

And Manchester City has one less person, after Dzeko was replaced, only Yang Fan was at the front as a striker.

In this way, Chelsea's defensive purpose will be stronger, and everyone knows that if Manchester City wants to attack now, it is to hit Yang Fan.

This is quite detrimental to Yang Fan's continued scoring.

As long as he gets the ball, he will face at least two people on the other side, which makes him unable to get rid of it easily, and because of the lack of Dzeko's containment and header ferry, Yang Fan looks isolated in front.

Zhirkov was in possession while David Silva was in charge of disrupting him. David Silva was clearly not a defender and he was broken through by Zhirkov.

After the breakthrough, Zhirkov passed the football to Drogba.

Didier Drogba suddenly made a pass that was aimed at Anelka.

When Anelka was shooting, Colo Toure rushed up from behind the flank and interfered, which also caused Anelka's shot to hit the anti-aircraft gun.

Manchester City led Chelsea 1-O and the scoreline remained unchanged for fifteen minutes since the start of the second half. Chelsea still trailed and they continued to give up their efforts to equalise and counter amid the cheers and boos of the home fans.

Chelsea have the numbers and morale is high at the moment, and they know they have to take advantage of the current advantage and try to score goals.

In the face of Chelsea's attacking frenzy, City's defence was a bit of a mess. It also gives Chelsea fans hope.

Carlo Ancelotti has been standing on the sidelines, the outcome of this game is crucial for Chelsea, although Chelsea have chased some points in the league, and are now only three points away from second-placed Manchester City, but they are eight points away from Manchester United in the standings, and it is still very difficult to chase eight points in a row from the hands of Manchester United, who have always been steady. Tomato □ net○ ---.-f'q'x-s''.com

In such circumstances, Carlo Ancelotti is aiming for the Carabao Cup, and now that Chelsea have reached the semi-finals, a win against Manchester City will be there for the final, and Ancelotti will be aiming to win the Carabao Cup trophy at hand. Although the trophy of the League Cup is not very high, it is also a championship honor, and now it is a lifesaver for Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea.

Carlo Ancelotti, who has been rumoured to be sacked, has spoken to club owner Roman Abramovich, who has made it clear that Chelsea will need to secure at least one title this season. This is the bottom line for Ancelotti to keep his position.

Carlo Ancelotti made a gesture on the sidelines, and with his gesture, Chelsea jerked up their attacks, putting pressure on City's defence.

Ramirez took the ball and he raised his foot to make a gesture to hit the goal.

Yaya Toure rushed over, but Ramirez just slammed it and passed the ball into the air.

There, Anelka suddenly cut in to catch the ball and then raised his foot to shoot without adjusting or giving the City defenders time to pounce!

The ball slid against the turf and raced towards the Manchester City goal.

Joe Hart flew to the ball and he knocked it off the line.

Chelsea were awarded a corner.

Ramirez's corner flew over the box and Drogba leaped high to deliver a dangerous header just over the crossbar. ▽Tomato▽ △ '-'.'f'q'x-

Malouda then had a lateral dribble in front of the penalty area before suddenly shooting with his feet.

The ball went around Joe Hart's hands and flew off against the post. It also made many Manchester City people break out in a cold sweat.

Joe Hart didn't kick the goal kick right away, but waited a little to slow down the pace of the game and give the City players a respite.

The Manchester City goalkeeper kicked the ball to Colo Toure, who took two steps and knocked it to Zabaleta after attracting Drogba's top tackle, who looked ahead and suddenly opted for a long ball with a big foot.

Yang Fan received Zabaleta's accurate long pass!

Mikel immediately began to move closer to Yang Fan, and he planned to cut off the ball before Yang Fan could mention it, or use a foul to completely end Manchester City's attack.

Yang Fan saw Mikel rushing towards him, he suddenly rushed out the football before Mikel broke the ball, and he cut in front of Mikel.

Just mentioned that Mikel was very depressed, his forward route was stuck, he had to lower the degree, and at the same time, Mikel was also alert, and was stuck behind the opponent's striker, which was already a very dangerous situation, not to mention that person was still Yang Fan, a terrifying guy.

"Oops!" Mikel felt as if a gust of wind was passing by him, and then he saw the defender next to him scurrying past like a leopard! I pulled it, but it felt like it was slippery. After the start of the game, Yang Fan was like a tireless and hungry leopard, running at any cost, looking for opportunities, and his jersey had long been soaked in sweat. Wet.

Yang Fan added one by one, completely out of Mikel's control.

"Beautiful!" the commentator Mortenson applauded, "Yang Fan's stop ball is very beautiful, whether it is the card position or the timing and rhythm of the addition, Ramirez is completely unable to restrain Yang Fan." △◇ △ Tomato □ ---.'"

'It's a counter-attacking opportunity for Manchester City. Lineker said.

That's right, this is City's counter-attacking opportunity, and it is a counter-attacking opportunity that they are looking for when they are passively beaten.

Now there are only two central defenders left in the Chelsea team's backfield, and there are large slots of space for Yang Fan to sprint, and Yang Fan's degree advantage can be fully swayed.

Yang Fan is very confident in his breakthrough, and the opponent's back line can't pull his breakthrough at all.

At this time, seeing Yang Fan break through Mikel in such a simple way, the Chelsea team's backline began to realize the danger.

"I'll go up!!" Chelsea centre-back David Luiz shouted at his centre-back partner John Terry, motioning for Terry to watch another Manchester City attacker, while he himself leaned towards Yang Fan in an attempt to delay Yang Fan from getting the ball.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Frank Lampard is also desperately trying to get back into his defence, stangling another Manchester City attacker, David Silva.

Therefore, as long as Yang Fan can be prevented, this attack of the Manchester City team will end here!

It was City's best chance so far, and it was Yang Fan's best chance so far since the start of the second half, and for Yang Fan, it was a goal he couldn't miss!

Chelsea's Brazilian centre-back David Luiz is their heavyweight signing this winter, Chelsea's high and low start in the league this season is inseparable from their poor performance at the back, the arrival of the Brazilian has completely alleviated Chelsea's central defensive crisis, Ancelotti now has Terry, Alex and David Luiz in his hands three central defenders, and Branislav Ivanovic has also performed well in cameos. And Chelsea fans have high hopes for David Luiz.

Yang Fan continued to dribble the ball high, facing David Luiz who pounced on him, he seemed to have no idea how to dodge at all. Seeing that the two were about to collide with each other.

Of course, David Luiz also saw this scene, and he was a little confused, he had never seen such a striker, and he rushed straight with the ball like this, did he think that he would be able to pass it like this? If the two collided like this, the referee would not even blow his own foul! This is the kid who bumped into it himself!

David Luiz is a little confused about what Yang Fan is going to do?

If it were Chelsea captain John Terry, who had played against Yang Fan many times, he would be alert if he could guess what Yang Fan was going to do now.

However, David Luiz has no experience in this area, this is the first time he and Yang Fan have met in an official competition, and he now feels that this is his chance to stop Yang Fan and make a name for himself.

Now, it's time for him to shine David Luiz! It's a key defensive game! That's what the Brazilian centre-back, who just joined Chelsea in the winter, was thinking at the moment.

Yang Fan is still adding, he has no intention of reducing at all, seeing that the two are about to collide together!

David Luiz is ready to collide with Yang Fansheng, and he is also ready at his feet, and he still wants to break the ball if possible. The moment the two make contact, shovel the ball out, and in that case, the team will even have a chance to counterattack!

But soon he was surprised to see that his eyes were open, and the red shadow that he should have hit was gone!

Then he immediately understood what had been born.

Yang Fan was about to collide at the moment when the two were about to collide, dodging extremely quickly, passing by David Luiz's right side, and at the same time he poked the ball with his toes, and the ball rolled forward from the other side!

How is it possible?!Yang Fan passed by, colliding with his shoulder, David Luis felt the pain in his shoulder, and when he was still stunned, Yang Fan had already passed by him like a gust of wind.

The shoulders of the two rubbed and bumped, Yang Fan himself stumbled, he gritted his teeth to stabilize his center of gravity, continued to add under his feet, and chased towards the ball.

In fact, if David Luiz fell to the ground when he was hit by Yang Fan just now, there was a 50% chance that the referee would award an offensive foul, but David Luiz was completely stunned, and his thinking did not keep up with the rhythm of the game.

"Yang Fan's degree is really fast!"

"David Luiz is lost!"

"The second one!"

"W-how is this possible?"

However, the collision with David Luiz slowed Yang Fan slightly, and by this time, the ball was already a little too close to the penalty area, and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech had already abandoned the goal. The Czech goalkeeper saw the opportunity quickly, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately made a decisive attack!

At this time, Yang Fan was able to raise his degree again, he let the explosive power of his body reach the extreme, quickly caught up with the football, and successfully grabbed ahead of Cech, stretched out his foot and stabbed it, and the football rolled over from Cech's feet.

He himself did the same trick himself, dodging from the other side.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was about to fall to the ground to save the ball, but now his target is gone!

With this series of additions, Yang Fan let everyone see his degree.

Dodged around Petr Cech's Yang Fan, caught up with the football again, and then faced the empty goal in front of him, he picked up his right foot and shook it violently!

Shoot the ball into the empty goal!
