Chapter 664: Accepting a Draw?

Hazard didn't know he was being targeted, and he was also on the lookout for Terry.

This game showed Hazard how good Terry is, although he has managed to break through Terry a few times, but Terry's solidity on the defensive end, as well as his actions when defending, have made Hazard very uncomfortable.

However, Hazard did not take this matter to heart, he is in a flexible position now, Terry is the defender, and he is the attacker, as long as the football is controlled at the feet of Manchester City, where does Hazard not get a chance?

Eden Hazard was actively running up front.

And in midfield, City's passing is becoming more and more fluid.

The equaliser took a toll on Chelsea's morale and the momentum was fully up!

Now Manchester City's tactics are very clear, constantly passing the ball in the midfield, looking for opportunities for a fatal blow!

Chelsea were gradually being suppressed.

And Terry has not been able to find trouble with Hazard, because Hazard has been constantly interspersed with running positions up front during this period, and Terry cannot always follow the slippery Belgian, he is a central defender, he has his own defensive position.

Jose Mourinho frowned, the situation is clearly not good for Chelsea.

But Mourinho's mind is not about defending, but about attacking.

At the moment, Chelsea don't have much possession, but in Mourinho's view, there is nothing wrong with defence.

City possessed the ball in midfield, but Chelsea took good care of the defending in the box and City couldn't find room to penetrate forward.

But now that the score has been levelised, if Mourinho can accept a draw, he can continue to strengthen his team's defence and let the current pace of the game develop.

But Mourinho will have a hard time accepting a draw at home and he wants to win, not just because of Chelsea's title title this season, but also because of his personal accolades.

He wants to win this game so much, win that Chinese!

Jose Mourinho is thinking about how to make adjustments in the second half.

But... Even now it can't be too easy for Manchester City to pass through.

He waved his arms on the sidelines, signaling the Chelsea players to step up their pressing in midfield, make it difficult for City, and at the same time get the ball down, even better!

In the 41st minute of the game, Griezmann took the ball and turned around and passed the ball to the feet of Hazard!

Eden Hazard picked up the ball on the left side of the box this time and he faced Branislav Ivanovic.

In the face of Hazard, Ivanovic did not dare to be careless, he lowered his center of gravity and followed suit, maintaining the distance between himself and Hazard.

Hazard suddenly made a momentum to break near the baseline, and Ivanovic's center of gravity changed slightly, and he immediately pulled the ball back and prepared to cut through the inside!

At this moment, suddenly a blue figure rushed up, and he took the ball and shoveled Hazard away!

Hazard felt only a sharp pain in his ankle, and when he fell to the ground, his head was almost dizzy, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he clutched his ankle and remained motionless on the ground.

"Oh........."

Even the Chelsea fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamation.

Terry got up from the ground, he had long wanted to give Hazard a little color, since he couldn't provoke the opponent, then his way was to scare, he was a defender, if he acted fiercely, Hazard would probably still be really affected by him.

Not to mention Terry, this is a trick that most defenders will use.

Many defenders will even do this to the opposition's core players at the beginning of the game.

This is called the dismount.

Terry, who had completed the tackle, was ready to stand up and provocatively speak in front of Hazard to continue to exert influence on Hazard's mentality.

But when he got up, something felt wrong.

You're not going to break this kid's leg, are you?

Terry chuckled inwardly, frightened by the sight of Hazard lying motionless on the ground.

He's trying to scare Eden Hazard, but he's not trying to kill Eden Hazard....

"Oh... Terry!! This time, the ferocious tackle directly shoveled Hazard away, and now Hazard is lying on the ground, and the situation looks very bad. ”

The first to pass was Erikson, who was the closest.

He hurried to Hazard's side to check on the situation.

The rest of the City players also walked over, and John Terry hurried forward to take a look.

Gao Bo on the sidelines also looked eager, and he looked at the situation of Hazard on the field.

The team doctor has arrived!

After a brief examination, the team doctor made a gesture.

Lucky... There are no fractures.

Gao Wavelength breathed a long sigh of relief, which was what Gao Bo was most worried about.

Fracture is a very serious injury on the court, once the leg is broken, the injury is good for a year and a half, but if it is serious, it may be retired....

Gao Bo was scared for a while when he remembered it, and he was scared when Terry was flying the shovel just now.

"Red card!! Hurry up and give that butcher a red card!! ”

Gao Bo jumped to his feet after making sure that the player was fine, he pointed at Terry and yelled at the referee: "Hey!! What are you waiting for? Did you forget to pick up your cards? Hurry up, the red one!! It's definitely a red card!! That guy was on the lookout of the player who deliberately hurt me!! ”

Gao Bo was almost in the field.

"Watch your position, Mr. Gao Bo!" The fourth officer came.

"It's murder! Mr. Referee!! ”

Gao Bo looked at the fourth official and pointed to Hazard, who was carried down on a stretcher on the field.

"They're murdering !!!"

Gao Bo gritted his teeth and said!!

The fourth official only shook his head, signaling that Gao Bo could not cross the line.

On the field, Manchester City's players also surrounded the referee.

For a foul in such a big move, the referee actually only gave a yellow card!

This made Manchester City's players very unhappy.

However, in the end, the referee insisted on his decision.

Terry let out a long sigh of relief.

He was shown a yellow card for an absolute core player who went off injured and the deal was certainly well worth it.

So he didn't argue with the referee.

And Manchester City's players had no choice but to give up.

The TV lens locks onto Terry.

'John Terry tackled Eden Hazard and it looked so serious that the team doctor was already working on his ankle. On Manchester City's side, they may also be forced to make a substitution, Hazard is injured, and the impact on Manchester City's attack is huge! ”

On the commentary bench, commentator Lightkinson said.

"How's it going?"

Gobo was not in a hurry to make a substitution, he came to the sidelines, where the team doctor was wrapping Hazard with an elastic bandage.

"There is no problem with the bone, the preliminary judgment is that it is a soft tissue injury, I have to fix him first, and then go to the hospital!"

Gao Bo nodded, and Hazard also looked depressed.

"Go and heal, Aiden."

Injuries are a natural enemy of players.

Injuries are inevitable for any athlete, and many talented players end up knocking them down with injuries.

The impact of Eden Hazard's injury on Manchester City is clear.

The most direct impact is this game, Manchester City, which has already gained momentum, and this momentum has been disrupted.

And the problem in front of Gao Bo is that he has to be replaced.

It's the 44th minute of the game and Eden Hazard's injury has been delayed for a few minutes, but it will be made up in stoppage time.

Stoppage time in the first half will not be short.

Gao Bo thought for a while, but decided to make a substitution, otherwise it would be too wrongful for Chelsea to be scored in the last few minutes because of the small number of people.

As for who to change?

Gao Bo looked at the bench.

His eyes moved back and forth between Milner and Vardy, and after a few seconds, Gobo made his decision.

'City made a substitution, Milner came on and replaced Eden Hazard, who had just been injured!'

"Milner, it's a signal to strengthen the defense!"

"Eden Hazard's injury has affected Manchester City's attack a lot, and now Gao Bo looks ready to save this one-to-one draw!"

"Chelsea's chance has come!!"

When Milner came out, the commentators in the commentary booth were full of discussions.

People have thought that this substitution represents a signal, a signal for Manchester City's defense!

Gao Bo also seems to find it difficult to beat Chelsea away from home, so he is ready to defend!!

That sounds like a lot of truth too.

Two of City's most important players this season are Eden Hazard and Antoine Griezmann, and their ability to break through on the flanks has been the most important factor for Manchester City this season.

Now Eden Hazard is unavailable, which means that City's attack has directly broken a leg.

Although Antoine Griezmann is also very good, without Hazard's containment, Chelsea can also concentrate on Griezmann.

So it's not surprising that Gao Bo made such a choice.

But.... Is this really the case?

Mourinho looked at Gao Bo not far away.

He has played against Gao Bo many times, and he always feels that Gao Bo is definitely not a guy who will accept a draw, even if it is away from home.

And..... Is Eden Hazard really as important to Manchester City as people think?

Mourinho's mind is spinning.

The first half is coming to an end anyway, and Mourinho intends to see what happens after the break.
