Chapter 42: Premier League Champions!
'Chelsea got off to a dream start in the second half!'
Manchester City and Chelsea are now tied 1-1, and the balance of the title is once again tilted in favour of the visitors!
'With 30 minutes to go, Manchester City are ready to make a substitution, and we can see that Belgian star Kevin De Bruyne is already on the sidelines, ready to come off the bench, who will Guardiola replace? Could it be Sterling? Or Fernandinho playing in the back? ā
"Oh? Pep Guardiola replaced Sane with Kevin De Bruyne, leaving De Bruyne on the left wing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Chelsea reverted to their previous tactics of shrinking defence after equalising, and now both teams are in charge of the title race, with the other side pressing out at all costs.
The game went on minute by minute, and in the second half, Clattenburg still had a good grasp of the scale of the decision, and there were no more controversial decisions; In the 80th minute of the game, Manchester United, who were playing at the same time on the other field, temporarily led the opponent with a score of 3-1, so with only 10 minutes left in the game, the "Red Devils" Manchester United basically missed the Premier League trophy this season, in other words, the Premier League title of the 16-17 season will be 100% produced by the two teams in the Etihad stadium, and the Chelsea team that is now playing away is currently closer to this trophy. As long as they don't let Manchester City score in the last 10 minutes, they can take the title of the season into their arms!
"Manchester City made another substitution, Nolito is ready to replace Zabaleta with a yellow card, and replace the defender with a striker, it looks like Pep Guardiola is going to make a last ditch!"
"In the 2011-2012 season, Manchester City won a Premier League trophy from Manchester United at the last minute, when their manager was still Pellegrini, but Aguero, who scored the goal for the team at that time, is still in the team today, still on the pitch, I don't know if five years later, Guardiola can replicate the championship scene of the year again, and snatch a Premier League trophy from the title rivals at the last moment?!"
Eighty-five minutes into the game, the fans were already on their feet, singing in unison, their fists clenched in front of their chests, praying for a goal, a goal that would make a miracle happen again!
"De Bruyne's long-range shot! It's a pity that it was defused by Courtois, and this shot is very threatening! "You Lu seems to be sweating for Manchester City as well.
"This time it's Yaya Toure! The ball went over the crossbar and it was still a long-range shot from the edge of the box! ā
With less than a minute left in stoppage time, the fourth official signalled that the game was only a regular three minutes.
'Now that Chelsea are back in the 30-metre zone, they don't need to attack for the last three minutes, as long as they can do their best to hold on to those last three minutes, they will win the Premier League trophy this season!'
"Conte has to continue to make substitutions, Willian is ready to come off the bench!"
'It was a very obvious tactical substitution and Hazard had to wait as long as he could at the expense of getting a yellow card!'
"There is less than one and a half minutes left before the end of the game, and the score on the field is still 1-1!"
'Manchester City were awarded a corner on the right, their ninth of the game, and it was taken by substitute Kevin De Bruyne!'
"Oh? Bravo also came to the Chelsea penalty area, but although he is a goalkeeper, he is only 184 centimeters tall, not even as tall as Max Alonso! ā
'Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany, Otamendi, all in the Chelsea box!'
'Manchester City's corner kick was cleared by a Chelsea player's header and Fernandinho controlled the second!"
"Fernandinho re-distributed the ball to De Bruyne on the right, and De Bruyne adjusted it and crossed with his right foot!"
"The ball hit Alonso's arm!!"
De Bruyne's cross hit Max Alonso's arm and chest in the box! The players of the Manchester City team all focused on Clattenburg for the first time! ā
"Clattenburg didn't make a decision, but ran to the linesman to communicate!"
There were already loud boos at the Etihad stadium, with several City players hugging around Clattenburg and the linesman, and from time to time saying something to the two referees.
"Is this a deliberate balancing?" Shen Chao couldn't help but complain again.
"Clattenburg points to the corner! No penalty was awarded! ā
"Will this referee be out of work after this game?" Shen Chao wordlessly pointed to Clattenburg in the stadium and said that although it has nothing to do with him who wins the championship in the end, as a "fan", I really don't want to see a game that should be very exciting ruined by the referee's misjudgment one after another.
In the first 90 minutes of this game, Chelsea have always been the side that is more dissatisfied with the referee, but in the last minute, Chelsea profited from a penalty by Clattenburg, which is really something that people can't complain about.
'With less than half a minute to go, it was still a corner for Manchester City.
"De Bruyne sent the ball back this time! Although Otamendi fought for the spot, the ball was already in the air and Chelsea's goal kick. ā
Courtois also received a yellow card for delaying the game, and the Etihad boos rang out again! It's time for stoppage time, and Clattenburg is ready to blow the whistle for the end of the game! ā
"Pep Guardiola is also quite miserable." Shen Chao shrugged his shoulders and said.
"What's miserable, didn't Pedro's goal also be blown away?" Nan Xiao drank the last sip of his drink.
"Pedro's goal is really not offside?" Shen Chao stretched out his head and asked Nan Xiao.
"It's not offside, I looked at the dynamic picture with Dizi in the middle just now, and it's no problem to score." Chen Mingshuo replied on behalf of Nan Xiao.
"Then no one is to blame!" Shen Chao spread his hands and said after hearing this.
'At full-time, Chelsea drew 1-1 away at their rivals and won the Premier League trophy at the Etihad!
'Congratulations to the Chelsea team!'
