Chapter 586: Confidants and Descendants

On October 29, 38,000 Chelsea fans and more than 3,000 Manchester City fans from afar poured into Stamford Bridge, Manchester City fans wanted to see the team continue to win and try to overtake Arsenal to return to the top of the table, while Chelsea fans hoped that Mourinho could try to beat Manchester City, secure his position and continue in the position of Chelsea manager.

For Chelsea fans, they don't think too much, they just know that Mourinho has won two league titles since he arrived, and they are the favorites in the Champions Cup every year, although they didn't win any titles last year, but in the Champions Cup and in the league, they also performed well, no title is just bad luck, if Mourinho can't do it, who else? Dick may be able to do it, but he's already gone to Manchester City......

So they still shouted slogans of support for Mourinho and came to Stamford Bridge to cheer on their best manager.

Abou also appeared in the stands, he looked at Mourinho standing in a trench coat in the stadium with some mixed emotions, for Abu, of course, he knows how good Mourinho is, and he also knows that the final failure of last season has a lot to do with his involvement in the team, but ...... No matter how good Jose Mourinho is, a manager who can attract all the attention is not what he needs, because it will overshadow his shine and he doesn't want to be so low-key.

"Since you want to finish this game, then ...... I'll give you this chance! Abu thought to himself.

Under Abu's watchful eye, Dick also walked out of the players' tunnel, and instead of walking to the away team's dugout, he went straight to the home team's dugout, towards Mourinho.

And Mourinho did not make his usual arrogant appearance, but took the initiative to meet him and shake hands with Dick.

"After this game, take a good rest...... I'm sure you'll be back on this pitch, in whatever capacity. Dick whispered that he was still covering his mouth with his hand as he spoke, so as not to be photographed and decrypted by lip experts, which would be bad.

Mourinho couldn't help but laugh, and he also covered his mouth and replied: "I believe it too...... But I want to win this fight. ”

Then the two sides let go of their hands, smiled, and turned back to their places.

At this time, the curiosity of the commentators in charge of the broadcast was about to explode.

"What are they talking about? He even covered his mouth! Is there any secret? Flight! Have you ever captured them moving their mouths? ”

By the time the broadcasters started to mess around, Dick and Mourinho were back in their places, waiting for the game to begin.

Dick's starting lineup for this game is not much different from the previous one, Hart, Richards, Samuel, Kompany, Barnes, Barton, Parker, Yaya Toure, Ribery, Torres, Di Natale.

Mourinho's starting lineup is different from usual.

The captain Terry, who was not injured, was directly taken out of the squad by him, and he didn't even sit on the bench, he was thrown directly into the stands, and the central defender was Carvalho and Brazilian defender Alex, it seems that in the last game, Mourinho didn't plan to give this guy who stabbed himself in the back any good look, and directly abandoned Terry when Terry was not injured, sick or suspended, and it was almost a tear in the face......

Jose Mourinho brought on Belletti and Ashley Cole at wing-back, Essien, Frank Lampard, Mikel Mikel and Joe Cole in midfield, and Drogba and Adriano up front.

When he saw Adriano again, Dick couldn't help but sigh.

Don't pull him to weigh himself, just by visual inspection, Dick can see that Adriano has gained a lot of weight a year ago, and it is actually very easy for a player like him to gain weight, and he will gain weight if he doesn't take training seriously, and he is unlikely to be relaxed under Mourinho's rule, but Mourinho has been anxious for more than a season, and most of them can't take care of him, in the London nightclub, did Ade start to lose himself in the same way?

As soon as the game began, both sides started pressing and blocking on the field. For the players on both sides, they didn't notice anything, and they didn't know that this game would be Mourinho's last game in charge of Chelsea, the Manchester City players were just thinking about how to show off the team's quality on the road, and the Chelsea players were also thinking about beating their opponents in the game to secure Mourinho's position - they didn't know that Mourinho would resign no matter what the final outcome of this game was.

After a midfield confrontation, Yaya Toure passed the ball to Parker, Mikel fouled Parker, and City won a free-kick near the touchline, Parker drove the ball straight into the box, Torres couldn't get the power up at the back post, and Cech jumped up to confiscate the ball.

The pace of the game seemed to be fast from the start, but it was difficult for both sides to create any chances, Manchester City's midfield is quite good running, and the interception ability is also very strong in this regard, Mikel has not been able to perform very well, but he is also a very good runner, plus Essien and Frank Lampard, Chelsea in the midfield is even better.

However, in the direct threat of the front, Manchester City has the upper hand, the cooperation of the three players in the front field is already quite tacit, and although Chelsea has two top strikers, but there are not many calls between these two people, Adriano relies more on personal ability to break through, Drogba is rampage in the front, and the tacit understanding between the two cannot be formed, and the impact on Manchester City's back line is not too great, after all, Manchester City's back line is now also a defense line with opposing strength and agility!

Ten minutes later, Manchester City started to take the lead!

After scoring two goals in the last round, Torres once again became the target of the opponent's focus on defense, the last round is a typical example, when the opponent focused on Torres, Di Natale got a lot of opportunities, but now the problem is that if you relax Torres may die earlier, if Di Natale is an opportunist, then Torres can create the existence of chances!

Mourinho also saw this very clearly, so Alex has been following Torres, pestering Torres with his height and strength, and not allowing him to get any opportunities easily.

It's not easy to keep an eye on Ribery because his range of movement is too large, and it's very difficult to keep an eye on him, but it's easier to keep an eye on Torres, although he has a large range of movement, but he is more of a center striker, otherwise he will lose his deterrent.

Ribery received a pass from a teammate on the wing, Torres began to run over to meet him, Alex followed, Ribery still passed the ball to Torres under the defense of Belletti, Torres did not take the ball, but quickly pointed the ball back, and Parker, who followed up, flew up and transferred the ball directly to the right!

Richards, who had the assist on the right side, decisively passed the ball directly into the box, Di Natale appeared on the passing route, and despite the fact that Carvalho had already flown to block the gun's eye, he still picked up his right foot, intending to force a shot.

Cech tensed his nerves and tried to save the shot, after all, Carvalho couldn't block all the angles of the shot, but Di Natale didn't shoot, and the moment his right foot touched the ball, he changed the part of the touch, and with a shake of his ankle, he knocked the ball directly into the middle of the box!

Yaya Toure, who was inserted in the back row, got rid of Essien's defence and fired a powerful volley into the running against the rolling ball, which flew quickly into the Chelsea goal, and Cech's attention was on Di Natale, and by the time he turned around, it was too late!

More than 3,000 Manchester City fans immediately burst into a huge cheer to celebrate their first goal!

No matter what Terry's character is, his strength is still very good, Alex despite his extremely good physical fitness, it is still a little difficult to replace Terry, and the problem of the two central defenders giving Manchester City such a chance!

As Yaya Toure hugged his teammates, Dick stood up and shook his fist, then sat back down.

It's just a ball, and it's not time to get carried away.

Mourinho sat quietly in the coach's box, the loss of the goal did not make him frown, he just sighed in his heart, the turmoil of more than a season has indeed made Chelsea's strength drop a lot, at least the previously tightly operated formation can now be said to be flawed, the players have suspicions of each other, how can they behave tacitly on the field?

In this attack just now, Essien was eliminated, but Mikel, who should have been filled, was not on the side, otherwise even if it was a little interference, Yaya Toure would not have played so easily......

"But it's not over! My Chelsea are not going to lose so easily, Manchester City are not in perfect form, our attack is ...... There will still be opportunities. Mourinho thought through gritted teeth.

His calm attitude in the dugout gave the Chelsea players more courage and soon they began to regroup and attack, while Manchester City were indeed not at their best, and their run-in was still problematic, although it was getting better day by day.

They were quick to launch an attack, Adriano won the ball wide and forced a break that Barnes disrupted, Joe Cole headed in a corner and Alex headed it high in front of goal.

In the 16th minute, Chelsea's midfielder played a rather delicate combination, Joe Cole received the ball and passed it to Frank Lampard, Lampard knocked on the plugged in Mikel, Drogba began to move laterally to take Kompany when Mikel took the ball, Adriano attracted Samuel's attention in the middle, Essien cut in from the back, Mikel sent a sharp through ball to Essien who burst into the box!

Barnes came from the side, but was already a step too slow, and Essien picked up his right foot after receiving the ball and shot hard!

The ball flew to the near corner of the goal, and in the face of this shot with a very good angle from close range, although Hart fell to the ground for the first time, he was still a step too slow, and the ball flew into the door of Manchester City against the near corner of the goal!

One to one! Six minutes after conceding the goal, Chelsea equalised! It was Mourinho's confidant Essien who scored the goal, and almost all of the people who played a role in this series of attacks were Mourinho's descendants......

Jose Mourinho shook his fist just as hard before sitting down amid the frantic shouts of the Chelsea fans.
