Chapter 785: Chelsea, It's Time to Pay Off Your Debts!
'City started the game aggressively and with a lot of integrity. ”
'We can clearly see that in this game, both in attack and defence, Manchester City were very organised, especially in the central midfield, which made it difficult for Chelsea to hold the ball. ”
……
"Look at the offense again. ”
'The ball was passed to Kaka, dribbled down the middle, and it didn't look like he had the same speed as he was before the injury, but Kaka quickly split the ball to the right and gave it to Sanchez. ”
'Okay, Sanchez dribbled the ball on the right side, cut to the box, Terry came over and defended, one-on-one. ”
"Breaking through !! dangerous !!!"
'Oops, Sanchez crossed to goal, but Benzema was a little bit slow and couldn't catch up in time. ”
'In the opening three minutes, City got in front of the Chelsea goal twice and were very threatening. ”
……
'City returned and regrouped. ”
'Xavi Alonso takes the ball, doesn't have a chance, passes it back to the defence. ”
"Javi Martinez took the ball and moved diagonally to the left side of the pitch. ”
'Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball on the left flank and faced Branislav Ivanovic, still one-on-one. ”
'City's two wide attacks were open. ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo was very confident, took the ball and feinted continuously, shook past Branislavic and cut to the middle. ”
'Referee Webb blew the whistle, Branislav Ivanovic was fouled and Chelsea won a set-piece on the left side of the pitch. ”
'Several players were quick to get into the Chelsea box. ”
'Luka Modric came to take the set-piece and see how City played. ”
'Quick shot, David Silva crosses, Xavi Alonso, direct long-range shot. ”
"The ball is a little higher!"
'It was a very high quality long-range shot from the edge of the box. ”
……
'Manchester City's attack was very intensive, look at this time, regroup, attack again. ”
'Luka Modric pushed forward down the middle and passed to Kaka. ”
"At the top of the arc of the penalty area, Kaka takes the ball ......"
"Nice heel...... Karim Benzema...... Danger!"
"It's a shame that Benzema's push was saved by Hilario and couldn't form the back of the net. ”
"We saw that Kaka's back-heel knock assist was very beautiful, after he got the ball at the top of the arc, he didn't stop the ball and went straight to the back-heel, if Benzema didn't push directly, but picked up, Hilario probably would have been difficult to save. ”
"Now in the seventh minute of the game, Manchester City are playing a series of fierce attacks. ”
……
'Hilario's big pass landed at the feet of Manchester City, and it was still the home team who got the ball. ”
Mascherano didn't seem to be in a hurry and passed the ball back to Javi Martinez to reorganize. ”
'With eight minutes now played, City are far ahead in possession and very dangerous in attack, almost every time they hit the 30-metre zone at Chelsea. ”
"Okay, let's take a look at this attack again. ”
"Still pass to Xavi Alonso, and then pass, David Silvala to the left side to get the ball, cut in, this is the most common routine of Manchester City, Kaka ran over, and Benzema in the middle also retreated. ”
'David Silva passes the ball to Kaka. ”
"Okay, Kaka made a quick stop and turned around, rushed forward with the ball, not fast, but very steady with the ball, into the penalty area!"
'Chelsea had two players at the same time and John Terry calmly tackled the ball and the referee didn't blow the whistle. ”
"A very clean defense!"
"The ball didn't fly far, it still landed in the Chelsea penalty area, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who grabbed it, pulled it, deducted Ivanovic, and hit the goal directly!!!!"
"Bang !!!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot hit the post and bounced off the net. ”
"He's looking a little too much for angles. ”
"In that attack just now, Kaka's sudden advance with the ball was very surprising. ”
'We can see from the slow-motion replays that Kaka's dribbling is not as sharp and swift as it was at his peak, but he is still very dangerous and it is difficult for both Chelsea defenders to get a chance to break the ball. ”
Benzema's pullback also played a big role this time, opening up the attention of the defenders for Kakara. ”
"In the opening nine minutes, City's attack was hearty. ”
"We now have to admit that the reason why Gao Han chose Kaka was not a whim, judging from the performance on the field, Kaka quickly entered the state and was very active. ”
"It's just a pity that Manchester City are still a little bit away from scoring. ”
'But Chelsea also have to make adjustments as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a matter of time before they are scored with the current momentum. ”

…………
Scolari was always on the sidelines, but the expression on his face was twitching along with the changes that took place on the pitch.
He can feel the passivity of the team on the pitch and the desire to win from all over Manchester City.
The form of this team has been completely detonated!
And the key point is that the position of Kaka has been completely activated.
Previously, Gao Han used a three, four, and three style of play, but it was the double back configuration of Xavi Alonso and Mascherano, partnering with David Silva and Modric's double forward combination, but in fact, David Silva and Modric were relatively far behind.
The duo's role is more about tandem and ball control than attacking.
Cockaka is different, he is a natural attacker, and he is the best offensive player in the world.
Previously, when Kaka was not around, there was no regular forward midfielder, and Benzema tended to drop back very deep in the game, switching roles back and forth between the number nine and number ten, and this had two benefits, one was to provide a stable point of contact for the passing in central midfield, while pulling out defenders, especially central defenders, to create space for Cristiano Ronaldo and Sanchez to cut inside.
But when Kaka comes on the pitch, the role of receiving passes in the midfield and backfield becomes Kaka, and Benzema can devote himself to pressing the opposing central defenders and can play the role of his center forward.
Therefore, in this game, Manchester City's trident was almost cruising against Chelsea's backline, which made Chelsea unable to hold the ball at all, and could only keep passing forward, especially Ashley Cole on the left.
England's left wing-back was an important tool for Chelsea's attack, but it was a game in which Alexis Sanchez kept him under pressure from the opening and left Ashley Kerr unable to play at all.
Once Chelsea's long ball reached the front, it was immediately intercepted by Manchester City, which was very inefficient.
On the offensive end, Kaka's position seems to be in the middle, but in fact he is always looking for space in the sideways, especially in the two ribs, and more importantly, the front three will echo each other to form a good coordination.
It's like just once, David Silva got the ball, Kaka suddenly pulled to the left rib, Benzema retreated and pulled out a central defender, Cristiano Ronaldo was entangled by Ivanovic and had no chance, choosing to stay on the left wing.
As a result, there was a gap between the two centre-backs and Branislav Ivanovic on the right in a very short period of time.
David Silva passed the ball and Kaka chose to burst into the box himself, almost forming a one-on-one shot.
As soon as Kaka moved, Cristiano Ronaldo immediately rushed into the penalty area, forming a second-echelon attack, which led to the scene of Cristiano Ronaldo picking up a missed foot shot after Terry broke the ball just now.
Scolari frowned and took a deep breath, "Tell them that the midfield retreats, the overall formation retreats, and they must hold on." ”
As an experienced manager, he knows better than anyone how critical the situation is for Chelsea.
Manchester City are in high spirits right now, and if they do score a goal, the situation will be dangerous.
"Hold on! Hold on no matter what!"
…………
…………
"Defense, what the hell is going on with our defense?"
In the stands, Abramovich was so anxious that his neck was thick.
From the very beginning of the game, he watched Chelsea being held down in the middle of the half by Manchester City, almost scoring again and again, and every time he saw him tremble and panic.
"What the hell does Scolari eat?" the Russian scolded indignantly.
He thought about being passive, but he never thought he would be so passive.
"If this continues, how will this game be played?"
No one around could answer Abramovich's question, and no one dared to answer it.
Off the pitch, Chelsea's passivity is still the same, possession is still firmly grasped by Manchester City, Chelsea is too passive, or it should be said, Manchester City played too well in this game.
It felt like Kaka's return and completely activated the team.
At the very least, City have never seen such a hearty and threatening attack so far this season, and they are testing Chelsea's goal time and time again.
…………
…………
Completely different from the perception of Abramovich and others, the fans at the City Stadium watched with excitement, screaming and shouting one by one, venting the excitement of the team's attack.
They watched Manchester City's attacks enter the Chelsea penalty area again and again, watched Manchester City's superstars threaten Chelsea's goal again and again, and they pushed the arrogant Chelsea down in the box, beating the opponent's nose and face swollen and unable to resist, which made them feel extremely excited and excited.
Once upon a time, he was beaten by being pressed to the ground, but Manchester City.
Amid the cheers of the Manchester City fans, Gao Han slowly walked to the sidelines and gestured to the players on the field.
This move immediately made the cheers of the scene even more violent.
Everyone knows that Gao Han's on-the-spot command has always been quite targeted, and every adjustment he makes can create a threat, and even directly help the team break through the opponent's goal.
Gao Han has not adjusted since the beginning of this game, and now he has come out and obviously seized the holes in Chelsea's defense, which is certainly a signal for the team to continue to increase the attack, and may even help the team score goals.
How can Manchester City fans not be excited?
Gao Han's sudden move also made Abramovich in the stands, as well as Scolari and others in front of the coach's seat of the visiting team feel a palpitation, could it be that he really dug up Chelsea's defensive holes?
The Manchester City players on the pitch also received the latest instructions from Gao Han, and immediately increased the offensive pressure on Chelsea, especially the front trident, which kept suppressing Chelsea's backline.
Seeing this, Gao Han on the sidelines entered the coaching system and activated the skill card.
Attack cards and assault cards are activated at the same time, forming a combination card effect that advances by leaps and bounds.
The pass card and the assist card work at the same time, forming a combination card effect that is not worth passing.
After completing the use of the skill card, Gao Han snorted.
It's been five years!
That debt from five years ago, along with that humiliation at Rijkaard last year, will be all back tonight.
Chelsea, it's time to pay off your debts!
