Nan Xiao rearranged the game tactics at halftime, and after observing the first half, he also roughly determined the tactical ideas for the second half, and in the locker room, he also conveyed his thoughts to the players in the most concise language; At the same time, he once again made personnel adjustments at half-time, a very interesting data shows that Sunderland is the team with the most half-time substitutions among all the 20 teams in the Premier League, since the start of this season, Nan Xiao has used up a substitution at the beginning of the second half on 6 occasions, if this trend continues, Nan Xiao is likely to create a Premier League single-season halftime substitution record for the most strange number of substitutions.

'Welcome to the second half between Sunderland and Chelsea, who made a personnel change at the start of the second half, replacing Elvetti with Danny Murphy. You Lu's voice sounded again.

"This would have been to put Danny Murphy in the left wing-back position and move Dokar, who was originally in that position, to the midfielder position. Zhang Lu analyzed.

With a whistle from referee Atkinson, the second half of the game officially began, Costa passed the ball back to the midfielder Matic at the kick-off, Matic after a little observation and then the long pass was transferred to the direction of Hazard on the left, but the power of this foot transfer was a little large, Hazard received the ball when the ball had been shown as a whole, Sunderland's performance of the ball.

Billy Jones picked up the ball from just outside the touchline and turned it back to centre-back Kirchhoff after making a feint in front of him; Kirchhoff took the ball and passed it to Jedinak who was dragging behind, and then Jedinak transferred it to Dokal, who played in the back of the back.

Although Dokar's mobility ability is not as good as Elviti's, his ability to advance with the ball is significantly stronger than his team-mates, and Nan Xiao's substitution adjustment is also to strengthen the vitality of the mid-long hair, and at the same time, it can also form a situation of flying on both wings, relying on the speed of Murphy and Carlos to take turns attacking Chelsea's two wings.

'Sunderland seemed to have a different team after the break, they no longer just knew how to retreat like in the first half, but started to attack each other, and even had a slight advantage in midfield, Director Zhang, what do you think of this change in Sunderland?

"In fact, this situation is the most normal on the pitch now, after Chelsea get the ball, it is more about quickly sending the ball to the feet of the three strikers, especially the two wingers Hazard and Willian, using their individual ability to cause damage to the opponent; Sunderland, on the other hand, will hold the ball more in midfield, mobilizing Chelsea's backline through the continuity of Halilovic and Dokar and Jedinak, looking for opportunities to pass through balls, and once they pass through balls, Murphy and Carlos's speed advantage can be brought into play, so now it seems that Sunderland controls the midfield more from the field, but Chelsea threatens Sunderland's 30-meter defensive zone more. ”

As one of the strongest breakthrough ability in the Premier League, Billy Jones is like a standstill stake in front of Hazard, and every breakthrough he makes Billy Jones embarrassed, so Jedinak, as a defender, often needs to fill in the fullback position to help Billy Jones defend together; Seeing Billy Jones' poor performance, Nan Xiao was glad that he had prepared to sign Juanfran early, otherwise this position would have become the biggest shortcoming of the team in the second half of the Europa League.

In the 60th minute of the game, Conte also made a personnel change, he replaced the more mediocre Matic in this game, and replaced him with the former European golden boy Cesc Fabregas; There has been a noticeable change in the Chelsea squad since Cesc Fabregas came on and the Chelsea team's attacking arsenal has been enriched by the French's precise long-form balling ability.

After 15 minutes of stalemate, Sunderland began to gradually fall behind again, which is understandable, after all, their strength is already a lot behind their opponents, and it is already very good to be able to occupy the advantage for a while; Sunderland have also had some chances in the past, with Dokar and Halilovic passing through through balls one after another, but neither Murphy nor Carlos, who has been in hot form lately, have been able to get the ball on their toes, once when Azpilicueta broke the ball in time before Murphy touched the ball, and once when Cahill used his experience to take advantage of Carlos first, which eventually caused Carlos to foul.

'Chelsea were in control of the tempo again after Cesc Fabregas came on......

Chelsea's offensive wave after wave of away games, Sunderland's goalkeeper has been in danger many times, fortunately Costa and Hazard's shots, although very threatening, but always ghostly off the post or high crossbar, just don't fly into the goal, Nan Xiao looked at the sidelines in a cold sweat, this is also the first time he has faced such a tense situation since he took charge; Yes, it was the first time, and even in that 4-3 goal battle with Liverpool, he didn't feel nervous, but even he didn't know why he felt that way.

By the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea had nearly 20 shots on goal, while Sunderland had only three of them, one of which was saved by Thibaut Courtois and once by Defoe's header. Just when the fans thought that the home team would win a rare game, or even a certain defeat, a situation occurred on the pitch that surprised everyone, a situation that could make the game a big reversal.

'Did Atkinson show a red card to a Chelsea player? The broadcast camera did not capture exactly what was happening on the scene, and now almost all the Chelsea players have stepped forward to surround the referee, seemingly unhappy with Atkinson's decision. ”

Faced with the referee's unfavorable decision, Conte on the sideline couldn't stand, and he kept arguing with the fourth official next to him in Italian English, indicating that Atkinson's decision was not reasonable at all, and it was obviously an incorrect misjudgment.

"Atkinson's red card was given to Costa, although Costa had already carried a yellow card, but Atkinson did not show him a second yellow card, but directly showed a red card! Let's take a slow-motion replay to see what exactly happened before that made Atkinson make such a resolute decision. ”

"Oh! It turned out that Costa stepped on the foot of the opposing player Colo Toure when he was retreating......" You Lu described the picture from the broadcast camera, "Director Zhang, do you think Costa's action is correct to directly award a red card?" ”

"If Costa's action is deliberate, then Atkinson's penalty is not a problem at all, but whether Costa did it intentionally or not is still up for debate, because Costa stepped on the opponent's player's feet in the process of retreating after all, so there may also be unintentional situations, so whether the player thinks it is intentional or unintentional, hehe, at this time it depends on the referee's personal understanding."

So the situation now is that the Chelsea players think that their team-mates have inadvertently stepped on the opposing player in the process of retreating, while the Sunderland players think that Costa did it deliberately, and of course, Atkinson also prefers the latter, so they did not hesitate to show Costa a red card and send him off the field; This controversial decision will certainly be the talk of the media after the game, but judging from the current situation of the game, it is very likely that Chelsea, who are suddenly playing one man less, will lose the good fortune that has accumulated over a long period of time. ”

Costa laughed and shook his index finger at Atkinson after receiving the red card, signalling that he had made a mistake for him, but on the football field, the referee's decision is like an ironclad order in the army, and once it has been issued, it is difficult to change it, so whether the referee's decision is correct or not, Chelsea will have to accept that there is one less player.

The game started to replay after Costa left, and due to some altercations just now, when the game returned to normal, the time had come to the 75th minute, and at this time, Nan Xiao also made the second substitution adjustment of the game!
