Chapter 587: The Battle of the Gentlemen

Playing against two teams that are not in perfect condition may not make the game boring, especially when there are many players who have quite good quality, and it may be easier to score more goals in such a match.

Because in such a state, it is difficult for them to be perfect in defense, and sometimes the offense does not need to be perfect, it only needs the attackers to have a flash of inspiration, and the defenders cannot make any mistakes.

In the opening ten minutes, both sides scored a goal each, and it was done in the cooperation to completely tear apart the opponent's defense, such an attack is obviously to make the fans in the stands more excited, so after these two goals, the players on both sides began to strangle together in the crazy shouts on the spot!

After a period of confrontation, the City midfielder played the ball to Yaya Toure, Mikel stopped Yaya Toure, and City won a free-kick from the edge of the box, which Ribery took over the wall and was saved by Cech.

Chelsea quickly launched a counter-attack, Joe Cole instigated in the middle, Lampard handed the ball to Adriano, Adriano's powerful shot from the corner of the box was blocked by Hart on the ground, and Barnes, who returned to the defense, immediately cleared the ball with a big foot!

After a back-and-forth of attacks, Chelsea seized a chance in the 31st minute when it was Frank Lampard who received Adriano's cross and sent a beautiful through ball into the goal, Drogba successfully received his pass from an offside position and quickly got up and shot at the goal, the ball flew between Hart's legs and into the Manchester City goal!

Overtake! Chelsea took the lead in the game! When Didier Drogba slid to the stands and waved his fist and shouted, the Chelsea fans let out a huge cheer, and in the stalemate of the scene, it was another descendant of Mourinho who allowed Chelsea to complete the score overtake!

Abu in the stands slapped his face, then shook his head slightly.

Essien and Drogba are all players that Mourinho has brought in since he came to power, and they have become the pillars of Chelsea, and they have resolutely stood behind Mourinho in the turmoil for more than a year, for this, Abou can only appreciate, but what they don't know is that even if they work hard, no matter how good they are on the field, they can't prevent Mourinho from leaving, because the fundamental contradiction between the two is not on the pitch......

Chelsea, who had taken the lead, began to go crazy, and they did not stop attacking in the following games, constantly threatening the Manchester City goal, and at one point suppressed Manchester City, Adriano and Frank Lampard both had a dangerous shot, and Manchester City could only relieve this pressure by constantly counter-attacking - Parker received Di Natale's return pass and threatened Cech with a long-range shot.

However, under such circumstances, Dick's descendants also began to exert their power.

Forty-two minutes into the game, Drogba took the ball and forced a breakthrough and hit Kompany, the ball rolled out, Samuel did not pass to the midfielders in front of him after taking the ball, but looked up at the front court, and made a decisive long pass!

The ball flew diagonally into the Chelsea half, and Ribery was battling with Belletti for speed, and in the end, as the two kept clashing, Ribery relied on his physical advantage to overtake Belletti and get the ball in front of Belletti.

Belletti took the risk of putting a tackle to shovel the ball straight out, but Ribery didn't take the ball forward, but occasionally pulled the ball back, and Belletti slid in front of Ribery and hit the billboard outside the field......

Dodging Belletti's tackle, but this also slowed Ribery's forward speed, and seeing that Mikel was about to catch up with him, Ribery gave up the idea of continuing to break through from the wing, and instead raised his foot and passed the ball to Torres, who was inserted.

Torres took the opportunity to take the ball forward, a few steps forward, and before Alex could catch up, Torres knocked the ball on the run to Di Natale, who came to meet on the side, and then quickly cut forward, Di Natale stopped the ball for a moment, and then quickly turned and crossed diagonally into the box!

The ball flew past Carvalho, who quickly turned to get back to the defense, but Torres had already received Di Natale's pass in the box!

Carvalho pounced to interfere with Torres' possession, but Torres held his charge and then fired a left-footed shot into the far corner from inside the box!

It was a brilliant shot that flew out of the ground and into the Chelsea door before Cech could hit the ground!

“GOOOOOOOOAL! Fernando Torres! After Drogba's goal, Torres also showed his worth! With Carvalho defended in the box, he still got the ball into the Chelsea door! Beautiful goal, Manchester City equalised away from home! I have to say that Manchester City is getting better and better now, and when Torres starts to score, their attack can be compared to almost any top team! ”

Torres shook his fist and then turned to hug Di Natale, the pressure on him after his brace was much lessened, which made him more comfortable on the pitch, whether it was passing or shooting himself, he would have his own options without being so rigid.

"The first half is over...... The two sides played to a 2-2 draw! Such a first half is indeed exciting, the current score is a draw, this season Manchester City's strength has grown rapidly, and it is not at all inferior when competing with a top team like Chelsea, I have to say that a top coach like Dick does have his ability, and in such a short period of time Manchester City has the current level, this ability is enough to make most managers feel ashamed...... What will happen in the second half? Will City win four in a row, or will Chelsea turn things around? Let's wait and see! ”

"No matter what happens to Mourinho next, it has to be said that he is still the Premier League coach who can stop Dick...... Although Arsenal won the game before, but Manchester City was obviously not at their best at that time, and the two sides were tied in the tactical confrontation in this game, and if Mourinho could not continue to stay in the Premier League, it would be a loss for the Premier League......"

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the commentators began to evaluate the performance of the first half, in terms of goals, the two sides can be described as a draw, and from the perspective of the field, it is really impossible to say who can have the upper hand, the second half of the game, will be more exciting.

"Well done, guys, you've shown what you're capable of in the first half...... To be honest, this game is not very technical, we have only been building the team for a few months, there is not enough to have more tactical changes, and Chelsea are internal chaos, there will not be too many changes, now it is your play and performance...... Chelsea's defense was originally very strong, but now there is a bit of a problem, the two full-backs are relatively thin, and the characteristics of the central defenders are somewhat overlapping, and the cooperation is not tacit enough, after Makelele is gone, Chelsea's protection of the front of the penalty area is not as good as before, so boldly attack, the attack on the side attracts Essien and Mikel, and then breaks through from the middle! Let's compare them to score goals and see who can score more...... I've taken so many teams that we haven't suffered in attack no matter what team we face, and now at Manchester City, we won't suffer either! ”

Dick waved his fist in the dressing room and said that now the whole Manchester City has not reached the point where he can be like an arm, so it has to be simple and rough, but fortunately, this group of Manchester City players, in terms of physical fitness and individual offensive ability, there is no need to choose, even if it is a simple and rough tactic, in the Premier League environment, it can play a big role.

"Got it!" The players responded one after another - of course, this is also indispensable to Di Natale, Yaya Toure and Torres, the so-called lineage, the importance is here, even if there are only a few people, can smoothly make the atmosphere in the locker room warm, if Dick waved his fist and shouted slogans, everyone in the locker room closed their mouths to watch him wave his fist, it would be too embarrassing......

The second half of the game began quickly.

Mourinho didn't say anything in the dressing room that this was my last game, you look at the topic of doing things, Dick knew a day in advance that he would be out of class after this game, and he didn't go around to publicize it, in this way to make Chelsea's morale chaotic and make Manchester City win easily, Mourinho didn't want to use this way to boost the morale of the players, in the game, using his own tactical arrangement and command to achieve victory, is what Mourinho wants to do most now, even if he can't do it, That won't leave you with regrets.

In such a situation, Mourinho wants to have a gentleman's battle, and Dick is well aware of this - when Mourinho sent him that text, he had actually revealed such information, and he saw it and accepted Mourinho's challenge.

There is nothing else in the competition, in terms of tactics and command have been affected to a certain extent, now these two people can compare, only their own vision of forming a team and the ability to boost the morale of the team, Mourinho sent all the people he wanted in this game, Ballack and Shepchenko He is useless, of course, this also has a certain relationship with Ballack being injured and unable to play, and in the second half, it is to see who can work harder on the field and who can play better!

To the cheers of the Chelsea and Manchester City fans, the players from both sides took to the pitch, they were competing in the most primitive things, competing with each other's strength, skill and fighting spirit, who would have the last laugh, no one knew at this moment, and only after the game could it be known who had won.

'I had a lot of substitutions in the second half, Chelsea...... Is there such a choice? Dick smiled and said something to Mourinho, which made Mourinho's originally calm face suddenly start to look ugly.

Indeed, this is Chelsea's biggest problem now, although they are also strong, but the internal friction has actually reduced their overall strength, Terry was put in the stands, Bridge was suspended, Ballack was injured, Kalaw was also unable to play, there are really not many people on the bench Mourinho can use, especially in the backline, even if he sees that the cooperation between Alex and Carvalho is not very good, he can only use these two people......

And what about Dick? Joel Lucabell on the bench is a good substitute player than Dalwasser......
