Chapter 219: Life hangs by a thread!

Ives replaced captain Todd Keane with the faster and stronger Czech Tomás Kalas, who arranged for Kalas to replace Mizgar to mark Li Liang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He replaced Traore with England's Ruben Rotus-Cheek, who is 1.91m tall, and Moses with another homegrown youngster, Alex Kiwomja, who is incredibly fast.

Keane handed the captain's armband to Amelia before leaving the pitch, leaving Amelia alone with several first-team stars. Apart from him, the squad is made up entirely of young players from the reserves.

After the substitutions, the Blues dominated the height of the central midfield. They began to take advantage of the speed of Boga and Loftus-Cheek on either side to break through and take advantage of the high air to equalise.

Many people have noticed that with the arrival of Callas, Li Liang's activities were immediately greatly restricted.

Callas' style is completely different from Mizga's, and Li Liang understands that it will take time for him to adjust to the technical characteristics of his new opponent. But he was still helpless to find that his legs suddenly began to become heavy.

Running continuously and intensively in a wide range of reciprocating and reciprocating, he has been fiercely confronting Mizga, who has been completely suppressing himself in height, weight, and strength, even if he began to gradually gain the upper hand, Li Liang's physical strength was close to exhaustion.

Facing Callas, who was more mobile and aggressive defensively, Li Liang's performance was obviously not as active as before.

During the period when he was gradually quiet, the Onslaught of the Chels paid off, putting tremendous and sustained pressure on the New York City backline and the Bears.

The bear is still in great form, working closely with two centre-backs to deal with Chelsea's high-altitude bombardment.

In the face of this relatively simple attacking routine, Big Bear's rich game experience came into play, as he appeared calm in the box and looked comfortable defending high balls.

The only problem is that due to the lack of systematic training and competition during the gap period of nearly a year, his weight has increased a lot compared to normal, while his physical fitness and strength have decreased to varying degrees.

Although he recovered after a week of "devilish" training with Cook, he himself knew that, like Li Liang, he still lacked a lot of "game fitness" that he needed to recover and accumulate through a lot of competitions.

Vieira found that after replacing Moses, the opponent's lineup composed of all young people was more tacit, and the offensive routine was also very skillful, he couldn't sit still, and immediately prepared to arrange personnel adjustments.

Especially he has seen that not only Li Liang, but also Da Xiong's physical fitness has reached the yellow line.

Not only for the sake of winning or losing the game, but also for their safety, personnel adjustments must be made.

Soon, with less than 10 minutes left in injury time, Brandt, American defender George John, who is 1.91 meters tall, and Saendez, the team's main goalkeeper, all stood on the sidelines.

The fourth official began to prepare the electronic scoreboard, waiting for the substitution to occur in the event of a "dead ball" on the field.

The referee had seen the scene, but the Blues had just won a corner. Boga was ready to serve, and the referee did not pause the match, signaling that he was ready to serve.

Hector, Mizga, Bamford, and Loftus-Cheek, four big men with a height of 1.9 meters, all stood in the penalty area of New York City, and Vieira watched his scalp tingle from the sidelines.

Avis was still waving and yelling, signaling Amelia to press into the center circle, and the rest of the group gathered around the penalty area.

Before the corner, the battle in the box was already heating up.

Brazilian striker Kennedy desperately tried to squeeze in front of the big bear to interfere with him, but the big bear of course didn't give an inch of ground and pushed Kennedy out.

Kennedy fell to the ground, covering his face with his hands and flipping on the ground in pain.

None of Chelsea's big men were reluctant, yelling and rushing at the bear.

Da Xiong knows very well that this situation is nothing more than a fighting momentum between the two sides, which is to exert psychological pressure on the opponent and interfere with the opponent's performance.

To his surprise, before he could make a counterattack, Discrud, Elora, and Li Liang had already met them toughly.

Even Villa yelled and rushed to Kennedy, shouting at him for his fake fall.

Frank Lampard quickly squeezed into the middle again, helping the referee to separate the two groups that were still chattering.

The referee gave a warning to several of the main parties, then stepped back quickly and raised his hand to signal Boga to kick off.

Boga took a high-quality corner, with a wide arc and speed, and went straight to the back post.

Kennedy stuck to Deskrut at the back post, and Hector took the opportunity to break free from Disskrude's marking, leaping high and powerfully pushing the ball back into the middle.

It was a very skillful corner tactic for the Blues' reserve team, with the forwards covering the back post scrambling the ball back into the middle, and then team-mates in front of goal and back in front of goal to get the ball on the back foot.

The newly substituted Loftus-Cheek understood it, moved quickly under his feet, bypassed the left-back Borowski who was marking him, and jumped strongly after sprinting at full speed, pressing the central defender Shano's fierce head to attack the goal!

The ball flew towards the right side of the goal, and Villa, who was in charge of guarding the post, obviously couldn't reach this angle!

The Bear's attention was always high, and he judged that Boga must be trying to avoid his own ball to the back post, so he kept an eye out for Loftus-Cheek and Bamford in the middle before the corner was taken.

Seeing that Loftus-Cheek had successfully grabbed the second landing point, the bear had already moved into place in advance, and he immediately jumped with all his strength, his body was horizontal in the air, his right arm stretched to the limit, and finally touched this powerful header with his fingertips!

The ball was touched by the bear and changed direction slightly, but it still flew towards the goal, but the big bear's save had played an obvious role, and Villa reacted violently, swinging his head with all his strength to push the ball that had been deflected to his side!

Another young centre-back, Sribo, rushed to clear the ball with a header, but in the panic he couldn't get the ball on target, and the ball flew to the left side of the box arc.

The blistering Blues youngster Kiwomja arrived and jumped straight to his chest to unload the ball.

Li Liang, who was defending Kalas at the top of the arc, immediately reacted and rushed back at full speed.

He knew that the bear had fallen to the ground, and as long as the opponent shot on target, he would pose a great threat and would most likely score!

Li Liang strode in front of Kivormuya, only to see the opponent sideways facing the falling ball, and rounded his right leg as if he was about to volley!

Li Liang blocked it sideways without thinking, but at this moment, his heart moved, and he suddenly realized that the opponent was very likely to make a fake move!

Sure enough, seeing that Li Liang had been fooled, Kivormuya immediately dunked the ball from the air.

Li Liang had already rushed over, but because he had realized the opponent's intentions, he desperately wanted to control the body that rushed forward to return.

His legs, which were so tired to the limit, could no longer support such a large sharp turn and stop, Li Liang only felt that his feet were weak, and his body immediately lost his balance and pounced in front of his opponent!

Kivormuya completely relaxed, the No. 37 in front of him was completely finished, lost his defensive ability, and was already flat in front of him.

He had already observed that the New York City goalkeeper was still on the ground and did not get up, facing an almost completely empty goal, but in front of him a densely populated middle, so Kivormuya immediately decided to volley low flat with his left foot.

As long as you hit the right direction, even if there is a refraction in the middle of the people, there is a great possibility of scoring a goal.

Frank Lampard had already rushed towards Kiwomja with all his might, but it was too far away for him to see that his opponent was about to shoot with his feet!
