Chapter 848: Tough Guy Frank Lampard

The Manchester City players walked down the pitch and into the dressing room with smiles on their faces that they couldn't hide, and they didn't really want to hide anything. [A lot of good novels] [S. loves to read] - their smiles must have 'irritated' the Chelsea people deeply, and that's what they were for.

They said before the game that they would do their best to win, to fight for the victory, to vent their anger for Bridge, but they didn't expect the current result to be even more ideal than they imagined, and they certainly have reason to be happy: not only to be able to vent for their teammates, but also to win by a big score, as a player, the coolest feeling as a player is at this time!

Compared with the jubilant excitement on Manchester City's side, the home dressing room at Stamford Bridge is depressing.

Carlo Ancelotti is in the dressing room encouraging the Chelsea players who have been stunned by the Manchester City crowd.

“…… There's nothing to be afraid of them, it's just a quick counter-attack and we'll be mindful of it in the second half. The two full-backs should not press lightly. The key is that you have to regain your confidence - what is there to fear about Manchester City? They are just nouveau riche, and a few seasons ago we would have had to turn the page in the league standings! Who are we? We are Chelsea, we are the league leaders, we are the champions!

"Don't think about it in the first half, Man City were able to score three goals in the first half, with our quality, are they not as good as them in the second half? ”

"Goal, early goal, as long as you can try to score early in the second half, the rest of the game will be played. Ancelotti said.

As for the tactical level, he is not in a hurry to set up, he knows where the problem is now, the Chelsea players have a psychological problem, they were poured into three goals by Manchester City in the first half, which makes the team have signs of being stunned, this is not good, he has to do his best to boost the morale of the team, otherwise, no matter how suitable the tactics are, the second half of the game is fine.

Ballack opened his mouth and wanted to ask: "What if we don't score at the beginning of the second half?"

But he didn't end up throwing the question out. His position at Chelsea is also precarious at the moment and he is now considering a return to the Bundesliga next season......

※※※※※※※

Frank Lampard is very depressed and unhappy, the team was completely passive in the first half, the players did not seem to have 'spirit', this is what he is most dissatisfied with, in Lampard's football philosophy, you can lose, but there is absolutely no time to raise your hand and surrender! Even if you lose, you have to lose the battle! You can't give up at any time!

That's when Carlo Ancelotti called Lampard's name.

Frank Lampard, who was named, looked up at the manager.

'In the second half you put pressure on City's midfield with Ballack. In the first half, you didn't do enough, I need you to be stronger! You have to have momentum, you have to contain their midfield, in the first half you made it too easy for them to get through the midfield!"

Lampard nodded, and he thought so himself.

The other named Barak nodded in the same way.

"Gentlemen, our strategy in the second half was to attack. You can't win without attacking and I want you to keep that in mind. From the very beginning of the game, the pressure was put on the England team. Run a little more aggressively in the front court and counter-grab on the spot. I don't want to see you sleepwalk in the half. ”

"Everybody has to fight hard in the second half, don't think we're solid in the table now, I bet if we lose, Arsenal and Manchester United will pounce on them like sharks smelling blood!

'Of course not!' Lampard said on behalf of the team.

Carlo Ancelotti glanced at Terry, the captain of the team, who was actually most dissatisfied with Terry, who was a bit of a disillusioned captain in today's game. Of course he knows why, but Ancelotti still wants Terry to pick himself up. Carlo Ancelotti would have been happier if John Terry had come out and said that he wasn't worried about Frank Lampard, this is a fighter and you don't need to worry about his fighting spirit.

However, Carlo Ancelotti did not consider replacing Terry, he needs to think in the long run, and he cannot be replaced because Terry's poor performance in the first half of today's game, which will affect Terry and affect the relationship between the two. At this time, Ancelotti needs to always maintain his support for Terry, so as to ensure that the whole team is stable and will not be 'messy'.

Carlo Ancelotti is very popular among the players and he is very good at maintaining the stability of the dressing room.

"He was a young 'female' idol in Rome when he was young, he was a merit of Milan both as a player and as a coach, he could make a second 'spring' for veterans, he could make a strong player shine, he could make the dressing room as harmonious as possible, he could make the people he worked with only say good things about him, he was a regular guest on Italian food shows, he was a cute fat man, a good old man, he was my favorite coach - Carlo Ancelotti. This is what a football 'fan' on the Milan Football 'Fan' Forum said about Ancelotti. It has been recognized by many people.

The second half of the game got off to a slight improvement for Chelsea.

Chelsea made the first substitution before the game began, with Nicolas Anelka coming on and Essien coming on as a substitute.

Chelsea seized a couple of opportunities to make a dangerous attack. This gave Chelsea fans hope and started to clamor again.

First, Essien made a tackle in midfield, he passed the ball to Drogba, who forced a breakthrough and suddenly came with a long-range 'shot', which forced Manchester City's 'goalkeeper' Givens to make a save.

City then misplaced a pass and Ballack got on the ball and went straight to Drogba in front of him, who tried to turn after stopping the ball in his chest, but De Jong was brought straight to the ground and Chelsea were awarded a well-placed free-kick.

Frank Lampard's free-kick flew over the wall and into the top right corner of the goal, where Givens flew to save but couldn't touch the ball, which almost grazed the crossbar and flew off the line, leaving Chelsea close to the goal.

Both of those shots seemed to bode well, and at least it looked like Chelsea were in a much better place in the first half of the game, and they were starting to take the initiative on the pitch.

'Chelsea started the second half in good form and were a threat with those two shots and a goalkeeper and if they continue like that, an equaliser is not far off. Lineker said that such a heavyweight matchup would be too boring if it were a one-sided game, so whether it was from the perspective of the commentator or the perspective of the 'fans', he hoped that Chelsea would be able to pick up the second half of the game so that the game would be 'fine' enough.

※※※※※※※

A few minutes after Lineker said this, Chelsea did score.

Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole received a pass from Carvalho in midfield and then played a clever pass to Frank Lampard, who 'slotted' the ball into the box at high speed, and the ball went straight into the bottom left corner of the goal.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

'Chelsea, they finally scored, even though it came late, but, at the very least, their goal finally came and the game was going to be more intense. ”

He pulled a goal back for Chelsea, his 11th league goal of the season. He's the best goal-scoring midfielder in the Premier League!"

'It's 3-1!Frank Lampard's goal pulls Chelsea back!'

'Chelsea pulled a goal back, they opened their account and the next thing is to keep up the good work and finally score again. The London commentator shouted, "There's still time for the game, there's still time! ”

Stamford Bridge's Chelsea fans were excited, and as the commentator said, the goal gave Chelsea fans hope, and it didn't take long for the second half to start, and the game was still on time, and an equaliser or even a comeback was not just a dream.

Carlo Ancelotti's face finally relaxed slightly, suggesting that his tactical arrangements and substitutions were correct, with Essien's introduction allowing Chelsea to start controlling the situation in midfield, and Drogba was more active than in the first half.

But before the Chelsea fans were happy, an attack from Manchester City made them break out in a cold sweat again.

Yang Fan took the ball and looked for a breakthrough on the side, and it was Ivanovic who defended him.

This time he decided to force his way through and slammed the ball to the left, and after the tricked Ivanovic maneuvered, he suddenly half-turned, pulled the ball back, and accelerated sharply. However, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, and it was Ivanovich who tripped him directly with his foot.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Ancelotti became nervous, as Branislavic had already received a yellow card in the previous game, and if he took another card, he would have been sent off. Chelsea's attack is just getting better, but don't let that be a time to cut back.

Fortunately, the referee only verbally warned Ivanovic and did not play a card, and Ancelotti was relieved.

Mancini was disgruntled and protested to the fourth official on the sidelines.

On the field, Yang Fan was also very dissatisfied and protested to the referee Weber, who believed that Ivanovic's foul was definitely a yellow card.

However, his protests were not heeded by the referee.

This made Yang Fan indignant, however, he did not continue to entangle, the referee's judgment has been made and cannot be changed, he can only accept it, and the protest just now is only a reasonable use of rules and practices to put pressure on the referee.

A free-kick by Manchester City.

Gareth Barry drove the football into the penalty area, De Jong hit the 'goal' with a header, the football hit Terry's head and bounced back, Yang Fan leaned back with his back to the ball 'goal', and came to a barb 'shot' 'goal' in the narrow penalty area.

Chelsea's goalkeeper Hilario made a subconscious save, and the ball then hit the post and was cleared by Branislav Ivanovic......

"Oooo ”

"Yang Fan was a little unlucky this time, otherwise he would have scored a barb goal. ”

'Chelsea escaped. ”

It was indeed escaped, when Yang Fan barbed 'shot' and 'goal', many Chelsea ball 'fans' were cold in their hearts, and they were relieved to see that the football was blocked by the post.

Chelsea's goalkeeper Hilario drove in the goal, but his goal was not of high quality and was intercepted by Manchester City in midfield, with De Jong playing the ball to Carlos Tevez, who was quick to get the ball out.

It was Yang Fan who got the ball. He started with the ball from midfield.

Frank Lampard came up to intercept, but Yang Fan suddenly accelerated, got rid of him, and sprinted towards the middle!

'He's going to break through from the centre!' stop him!' Chelsea goalkeeper Hilario shouted from behind the defenders.

Yang Fan's breakthrough in the middle attracted the attention of all the Chelsea defenders. Mikel crossed in front of him, and Malouda moved closer to the middle. Behind them, Carvalho was also on the lookout.

Mikel pounced on Yang Fan, he moved very violently, but Yang Fan did not avoid it, continued to dribble the ball, seeing that the two sides were about to meet, Yang Fan shook his ankle violently, and he dialed the football to the side!

Adam Johnson and Tevez have people around them, who is this ball passed to?!

"Zabaleta!" no one ......was around," the narrator shouted.

After seeing Yang Fan distribute the ball to the side, Adam Johnson and Tevez were immediately excited, and the two of them had a tacit understanding to "insert" the ball into the goal, but Yang Fan, who should have "inserted" into the penalty area, stopped at the edge of the penalty area and did not rush forward.

This immediately made the Chelsea defenders uncomfortable, Terry rushed to command the defence, he himself rushed to Tevez, to keep Ivanovic's eye on Adam Johnson, and Carvalho was eyeing Yang Fan in the middle of the box, ready to go up and keep an eye on Yang Fan, however, he did not stick very tight, fearing that if it was Yang Fan who received the ball, this man would pass him.

At this time, between Yang Fan and the forbidden area, there was an unexpectedly blank space of about two meters!

Ballack was the first to keenly sense the opponent's intentions, Johnson and Tevez in the penalty area were just a front, and Yang Fan was the real killer move, so he hurriedly rushed towards Yang Fan.

Almost at the same time, Zabaleta crossed with his foot! The ball did not fly into the box, but rolled diagonally towards Yang Fan, who was a little outside the penalty line!

A kick that was unexpected!

But it's extremely penetrating!

and its threatening passing! tone.

Mancini was disgruntled and protested to the fourth official on the sidelines.

On the field, Yang Fan was also very dissatisfied and protested to the referee Weber, who believed that Ivanovic's foul was definitely a yellow card.
