Chapter 737: The First Half

Jose Mourinho walked to the sidelines and despite conceding the goal, he still looked confident.

Under his command, Chelsea continued to press Manchester City with very aggressive pressing in midfield and very strong physical dueling!

On the offensive end, Chelsea have played very simply.

Juan Mata's pass is very accurate and he can always find Didier Drogba, Oscar's shot from inside the left is also a Chelsea attack, and Frank Lampard's shot in midfield is also not to be underestimated as the Premier League's top goalscorer.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines and looked at Gao Bo, who was still sitting in the dugout.

This made Mourinho wary.

Now in the situation, Chelsea dare not say that they have the advantage, but at least they are playing more aggressively!

In the face of Chelsea's oppression, Manchester City actually did not come up with any good responses, in this case, what else did Gao Bo rely on?

Mourinho looked at the scoreboard on the sidelines, and then at Gao Bo, who was sitting in the coach's seat with Erlang's legs crossed.

I seem to have missed something....

Where is it?

This time, Chelsea again won the ball and then attacked.

The ball was passed to Frank Lampard, who was pressed by Fernantinho and held the ball in touch before playing a cross-run with Mata!

Juan Mata moves sideways to the middle and Lampard hands the ball to Mata!!

Juan Mata takes the ball down the middle and then slots, with his left foot!

Oscar has already pulled to the left to answer!

Juan Mata had a very well-timed pass, and the ball was already in place when Oscar came up.

This time the situation of Chelsea's attack was completely opened, and Oscar calmly crossed after receiving the ball!

In the middle, Drogba jumped high and beat Maguire to complete the header!

This time Joe Hart made a beautiful save as he soared into the air and leaped high with his right hand.

Drogba's header hit him right in the hand, and he took advantage of the situation to shoot the bottom line!!

"Oh oh oh oh oh!! It's a pity!! Drogba's header was saved by Hart and Joe Hart saved Drogba's header!! ”

"Drogba's header was done well, but it was still stopped by the goalkeeper!"

"Beautiful! Chelsea's series of attacks have fully demonstrated their creativity on the offensive end, Mata is Chelsea's best player in the first two seasons, but Mourinho does not like Mata's type of player, so Mata has not had many opportunities this season, but judging from Mata's performance just now, Mourinho may really need him, look at his passing! His penultimate pass is still so sharp! ”

The penultimate pass refers to the pass that the assist player receives before completing the shot.

A lot of people focus on goals, and assists are also what fans look for.

However, in the eyes of many professionals, players who can pass sharp penultimate passes are also crucial.

is like the pass that Mata gave to Oscar, his timing of the pass, the control of the passing line and the landing point, just enough to allow Oscar to get to the ball almost without adjustment, immediately pass the ball into the penalty area, and give Drogba a chance to head the ball.

If the ball is passed early or late, or if you don't see Oscar at all, then this attack is gone.

It's the kind of creative passing that creates a bigger threat.

Chelsea's attack is improving, but Manchester City's attack is also starting to pick up.

Manchester City's players are gradually getting used to Chelsea's use of strong physical confrontation and fierce scrambling, in fact, they have encountered many teams who like to use this kind of trick against Manchester City - after all, several players in Manchester City's front field are not tall and look a little thin, and the only taller Kaka is still a 30-year-old "old man" who has had a major injury before.

However, Manchester City can still break through the opponent's blockade and create some chances through the tacit cooperation of the players and superb skills.

Antoine Griezmann takes the ball and plays against N'Golo Kante!

This has aroused great attention and interest from many fans.

Antoine Griezmann and N'Golo Kante have been team-mates since Luton Town and the familiarity between the two speaks for themselves.

The camera is focused on these two players.

Griezmann made a sharp stop, and Kante also braked sharply!

Then, Griezmann turned around on the spot and seemed to be intent on getting the ball out with his ankle.

Kante, on the other hand, did not look at Griezmann's foot movements, but leaned directly over to seek direct physical contact with Griezmann.

Griezmann, on the other hand, pulls the ball back again, turns it in reverse, and then it starts up!!

"Pretty!! Passed!!! ”

Before the commentator could finish speaking, Kante turned his body around directly, successfully threw his body out, fell to the ground, shoveled, and shoveled towards the football!

Griezmann, meanwhile, jumped the ball to avoid N'Golo Kante's tackle.

Eventually, however, both of them fell to the ground.

"Foul !!" The Manchester City fans in the stands erupted in a loud roar.

Oliver, the referee of this game, put the whistle in his mouth and was about to blow Kante for a foul, but when a blue figure flew forward and crossed the fallen Griezmann and Kante brothers, Oliver raised his hands in front of him!

Kaka runs past Griezmann and takes the ball forward!!

Offensive advantage!!

Manchester City continue to attack!!

And at this time Ramirez was also pulled out!!

He gritted his teeth and accelerated, but instead of trying to catch up with Kaka, he accelerated straight to near the baseline - and Ramirez also knew that it would be difficult to catch up with Kaka with the ball.

Now Kaka is on the wing, and if he wants to shoot, he will inevitably need to take the ball to the middle and Ramirez will be able to catch up by then.

However, Kaka did not plan to continue to dribble the ball into the penalty area, and the confrontation between N'Golo Kante and Antoine Griezmann had dragged on for a while, but as the two fell to the ground, many players paused, which gave Manchester City a chance.

Kaka quickly picked up the ball and he passed it towards the edge of the penalty area!!

Where is David Silva answering?

Just as he was about to shoot straight at goal, David Luiz, who rushed out of the box, quickly rushed up to tackle!

David Silva was ready to shoot, but when a gust of wind blew, he felt the danger!

If he hadn't jumped up, he'd have been hit by David Luiz's solid tackle – which could even have led to an injury.

The Spanish midfielder jumped up in a hurry, and then David Luiz shoveled the ball away, and he was still overturned by David Luiz!!

"Oh!! David Luiz's ferocious tackle!! ”

There was an exclamation from the stands!!

However, just when the City fans thought they would have a well-placed free-kick, referee Oliver crossed his hands.

"No foul?!" Gao Bo was extremely angry, "Why don't you foul it?!! ”

Gao Bo sat in the coach's seat, he was very calm, but when he saw David Silva fall to the ground and the referee said no foul, Gao Bo couldn't sit still, he rushed out of the coach's box!!

"Bastard!! How is this possible without fouls?!! Gao Bo was furious and shouted to the fourth official on the sidelines, "This is a vicious tackle against people!" This kind of behavior must not be allowed on the court, and it is a foul worthy of a warning card!! ”

The fourth official looked at the furious Manchester City manager with a dark face: "Coach Gao Bo, please pay attention to your emotions!" ”

"I control you......" Before Gao Bo's foul mouth burst out, Mo Ya, who rushed over in a panic, covered his mouth and pulled him back at the same time!

Gao Bo also knew that Mo Ya had come in time, and if he cursed, it would be terrible.

However, he was not happy!

Gao Bo glared at the fourth official stupidly, and was pulled back to the coach's seat by Moya.

......

In the stands, cheers and boos rang out at the same time!

The TV broadcast was also replaying the tackle from David Luiz just now.

In the TV picture, when David Silva jumped, David Luiz did tackle the ball, but before he came up aggressively, if David Silva didn't jump, even if he didn't get hurt, it would be enough for David Silva to be uncomfortable, because Luiz tackled the ball and showed the sole of his shoe directly.

But that's the scale of Oliver's game.

He looked determined not to blow a foul on such a move.

When the cheers and boos in the stands grew louder and louder, the TV screen quickly switched back to the scene!

By this time Chelsea had already passed the ball to the right side of the pitch!!

'Juan Mata !!! the ball'

Juan Mata stops the ball on the right!

David Luiz's tackle caused chaos for a moment, and Chelsea seized the opportunity to play the ball up front!

City's players quickly returned to defence and by this time Juan Mata had already passed the ball to the penalty area!!

Hart scrambled to the ball and punched the ball out of the box.

Fernandinho, who rushed back to defend, rushed to clear the ball, but the ball was a little bit off and the football didn't go far!

And just then, Kante suddenly rushed up.

When people saw Kante adjusting his pace, a thought suddenly flashed through their minds: "Impossible, right?" ”

Suddenly Kante was indeed ready to shoot!!

He saw that Joe Hart hadn't fully returned to the box after the attack, so Kante was already adjusting his pace when he rushed up, and then volleyed with his right foot!!

This ball is very bottom!!

The shots were of high quality!!

The ball flew, but it wasn't too high, and Joe Hart hurried to the goal line, but it was too late!

When the football fell from the other side, the stands burst into cheers!

Chelsea fans jumped up!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"World Wave!! Super World Wave !! N'Golo Kante volleyed from around 35 yards from goal! The ball made a clear downward arc, and although the angle was not tricky, his shot was so sudden that Hart, who had just attacked, had not had time to return to the goal line! ”

"One-to-one!! The 28th minute of the game!! Chelsea equalised!! Look at Mourinho's excitement....."

Mourinho was really excited, he clenched his fists, first ran back and forth on the sidelines for a short while, and finally even came directly to a slippery kneeling, and then knelt on the ground and waved his fists!!

That's right!! Chelsea can score!!

This goal gave Mourinho hope of victory!!

Finally... Going to win?

The excited Jose Mourinho was surrounded by the Chelsea coaches who rushed up and all the Chelseans were excited.

On the field, the Manchester City players looked at each other helplessly.

It was a goal that was just too speechless.

First of all, David Luiz's tackle, everyone thought it was a foul, but the referee decided it was not a foul.

With Oliver's lenient scale in this game, it is really not surprising that he made such a decision, but with a loose penalty scale, Chelsea's simple and rough style of play is obviously more advantageous.

And the second surprise was Kante's long-range shot!

With such a long distance, they really didn't expect Kante to be able to press the ball so low.........

Gao Bo shook his head helplessly.

The current Kante is much better than Kante in another time and space, after all, he was discovered by Gao Bo very early and began to play at a high level, which made Kante improve very quickly.

Especially when it comes to long-range shots.

N'Golo Kante's shooting power was strong, and when he was at Luton, Gobo asked Kante to step up his long-range shooting training, and during his time at Atletico Madrid, Kante often scored from distance.

A defensive midfielder with long-range skills.

Gao Bo sighed, he didn't know what kind of mood he was feeling at this time, he made Kante better, but he couldn't be Kante's manager forever.

This is professional football.....

......

After the goal, Chelsea wanted to continue attacking aggressively.

However, when in the 36th minute of the game, Hart delivered another penetrating long ball, Mourinho realized that perhaps everyone was wrong about Hart!

When Chelsea pressed, especially after Drogba pounced on Hart, Hart, who had gained confidence, even looked at the positions of several attackers in the frontcourt, and then directly made a long pass with a big foot!

The ball was so fast that he just went over Cahill's head!!

'Hazard !!'

In the midst of the commentators' exclamations, Hazard successfully countered offside and burst into the box, where he was finally hit by Gary Cahill, but before the center of gravity in the city, he poked the ball on the tip of his right foot and stabbed the ball towards the goal!

The soccer ball is fast towards the goal!

Looks like we're about to cross the goal line!

Petr Cech saved Chelsea at the last minute!

"Cech!! Unbelievable save !!! ”

'It was unbelievable that Cech flicked the ball off the line and he denied Hazard's inevitable shot!!!

Hazard clasped his head in his hands.

Chelsea as a whole pressed too much and that gave him a chance to sprint.

However, Cech's performance denied the goal-almost cross-the-goal goal!!

Gao Bo waved his hand regretfully.

And Mourinho on the sidelines was shocked into a cold sweat.

He immediately brought Chelsea back.

If Manchester City were to do this again, there would probably be nothing Cech could do.

Mourinho looked at Hart.

There are always things that happen to Gao Bo's team that he feels are unexpected.

Kaka is so.

Now this Hart is the same.......

And now, there is not much time left in the first half.

In the last few minutes, neither team was able to create any offensive that was too threatening.

With a whistle from referee Oliver.

The first half of the game is over!
