Chapter 518: The Tragedy of the Defenders
Pellegrini's unwillingness, Manchester City's players are in the eyes.
Especially Navas and Negredo from Spain, the two of them were bought by Pellegrini after he coached Manchester City, of course, even if they are Pellegrini's people, they are now on the bench and replaced by Nasri and Aguero, if they can't perform better than those two people, they can't afford Pellegrini.
Sometimes the psychological role of people is really very useful, and when it comes to the critical moment, it is like a catalyst that can completely give birth to people's potential.
There is very little time left in the game, plus stoppage time is only about ten minutes, Stamford Bridge, Chelsea 2:1 Manchester City, but this score is not safe, which is why Mourinho will have three midfielders, he does not want to lose this advantage.
The Emirates Stadium, on the other side, were in trouble again, leading them only to be equalised by a penalty.
Wenger dragged his chin, there was helplessness, disappointment, and unwillingness in his eyes, and now he was in no mood to care about what happened to Chelsea, the key is that his team must win this game, otherwise, let alone chasing Chelsea, I am afraid that it will really be thrown far away by Chelsea.
……
Maybe it was Keylor Navas's efforts that worked, or maybe it was the gods of the West who made the game twist and turn, and in the 88th minute, the Chelsea defenders made a fatal mistake!
It was supposed to be offside, but at the crucial moment, Cahill took a step back. It was this small step that gave Navas a great opportunity. Let him succeed in the anti-offside position, and then drive straight in. A single-pole opportunity is formed.
Petr's ability is indeed very strong, but in the face of the cooperation of Navas and Negredo, he is also helpless, Navas chose to pass the ball in a position where he could shoot, Negredo did it in one fell swoop, so the score instantly became a draw.
"Eighty-eight minutes! Eighty-eight minutes! Towards the end of the game, Chelsea's backline made an unforgivable mistake, whether it was Cahill's fault or the fault of the other players, and now they have been equalised. Three points become one point in an instant, and I believe this is hard to accept. ”
The commentary is right, if there is no possibility of winning, maybe no one will find this draw unacceptable, but the problem is that it is clear that it has been 87 minutes and is still leading, but because of a mistake that should not have been lost, the score has become a draw.
Cahill looked a little dazed, his eyes revealing an indescribable worry and unease. It's not easy for him to get a starting position, but because of such an undeserved mistake, the team's three points turned into a point, no matter how you think about it, it's a sinner.
"Cheer up, Cahill. There's still time, just don't make the same mistake again! Cech shouted at Cahill.
Cahill nodded, still a little worried. In fact, if this game is won in the end, then his responsibility may be reduced. The guilt will lessen a bit, but if it ends like this. His sin was utterly great.
"Cahill, don't be like a wronged little daughter-in-law, make up for your own mistakes! You don't have to worry about scoring goals, we'll figure it out, you just have to make up for it and defend our back. Lin Yu is not as gentle as Cech, his words are very loud, but people have a sense of relief when they listen to it.
That's right, it's the phrase "Score the goal to us!" ”
Cahill believes that Lin Yu can do what he says, because Lin Yu is such a strong player, don't look at the few minutes left, he can still change the outcome of the game.
"No problem." Cahill nodded, clenched his fists, he had already pitted his team-mate once, he didn't want to do it a second time, so this time he had to do his best and never give City any chance.
Generally speaking, the psychological quality of defenders is better, at least better than strikers, because in this position, you have to bear a lot of pressure, scoring goals has nothing to do with you, conceding goals is your sin, and when selecting awards such as the Ballon d'Or, defenders also suffer because it is difficult to have a standard to define, and strikers are different, the standard of strikers is to score.
As for the midfielder, you can also use assists to increase your influence, but the defenders are more tragic.
So the average defender, the psychological quality is absolutely top-notch, Cahill is naturally the same, he has played as a defender for so many years, if he can't even stand this impact, then what kind of professional defender is it?
Manchester City were still celebrating, but Lin Yu and Torres were already standing in the centre circle, even putting the ball there, and then asking the referee to kick off.
"Torres, can you still get in?"
"Why not?"
"Hey, let's see who can break the Manchester City goal again. Can't let Cahill burden too much, if he really can't win this game, he will probably have to blame himself for a long time, and don't want to play in the Champions League. ”
"No problem."
Competition within the team is generally not a good thing, especially when the two strikers are on the field, and asking them to score first is tantamount to making them give up cooperation.
But Chelsea are a bit different, no matter what Torres and Lin Yu say, but when it's time to pass, they will definitely choose to pass, because they want the team to win, not personal glory and disgrace, not to mention that if you give up the chance to shoot for the sake of the team's victory, maybe the image will be more glorious.
Either way, while Manchester City basked in the joy of scoring, Chelsea were plotting to turn their opponents' joy into ignorance.
Happy?
Then let you get a taste of the pain of being overtaken again, and let you know what the best team in the world will do at this time.
Of course, these are the thoughts of the Chelsea players, especially Lin Yu and Fernando Torres. However, Manchester City also have a back, and it is not so easy to score. Otherwise, Chelsea would not have scored two goals by now. If you score one more, you won't be afraid of conceding the previous goal due to mistakes.
Ninety minutes of regular play are over, with only three minutes of stoppage time left to be born, which will be crucial for both Chelsea and Manchester City.
Don't think that Manchester City will give up attacking after the equaliser, as the so-called Long Wangshu, after getting the draw, they naturally think about whether they can get a win, this is not a luxury idea. After all, it's just one goal.
At the same time, the match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur has also entered stoppage time, perhaps by coincidence, or by God's arrangement, the stoppage time here is actually three minutes.
"It's flat, it's flat!" The assistant coach excitedly told Arsene Wenger about the situation at Chelsea.
Although Wenger said that he didn't care, he was actually very concerned in his heart, and in any case, if Chelsea were forced to draw, they could even lose the game. Arsenal definitely won't be a bad thing for him.
He listened to the assistant coach and was obviously happy, but he didn't dare to show this joy on his face at this time, because it was not until the last moment of the game. The result is unpredictable, but Chelsea have that perverted guy like Lin Yu, will he allow his team to be held to a draw at home?
Just thinking about it. Suddenly, there was a cheer on the court, and he noticed. His own team scored again, this time from a Chelsea corner. Hit the target with a header by Medsak!
"Great!" Only this game can make him so excited, after all, this is his own team, how to play, he knows in his own heart.
……
'The game went into stoppage time and every minute was a sign that Chelsea were going to be forced to settle for a draw, which is something that Chelsea can't accept! Lin Yu and Torres were actively attacking, and they caused a lot of problems for Manchester City's goal, but when it came to qualifying, Manchester City put up a bus, and they actually wanted to hold on to the draw. Probably this is the last thing Chelsea players want to see, after all, once City go on the defensive, it will be even more difficult to score. ”
As the commentator's voice sounded, the Chelsea fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were a little excited, and they kept shouting at the TV "One in!" One more! ”
Whether it's Torres or Lin Yu, whether it's Eden Hazard or Oscar, they just want to have someone who can score so they don't have to be so scared.
It's a pity that their voices can't be transmitted to the field, and even if they do, they can't change the outcome of a game, and if you want to change the result, it has to be done by the players on the field.
……
Yes, it is up to the players on the pitch themselves to change the situation.
And this person is none other than Chelsea's own star Lin Yu!
Lin Yu looked at the momentum wrong, Manchester City clearly wanted a draw, and now time is running out, he must think of a way to change the score again.
He pretended to shoot from a distance, but suddenly pierced Kolarov's crotch with the ball, and then both the person and the ball entered the penalty area at the same time, the inside of the penalty area is different from the outside of the penalty area, although Lin Yu has no precedent for faking a fall or making a point, but no one dares to take this risk, so at this time, whether it is a kick or any action, he has become cautious.
But in this way, Lin Yu easily broke through to the goal with the ball, and it was a direct volley in front of the goalkeeper, such a ball is more difficult not to score than to score.
Kompany was obviously anxious when he saw the situation, and he didn't care whether he would give Chelsea a penalty, anyway, he thought that Lin Yu couldn't score, so a flying tackle was formed in the penalty area.
But what Kompany never expected was that Lin Yu suddenly jumped up at this time, and then ......
"Oh! Own goal! It's an own goal! Kompany slotted the ball into his own goal, Lin Yu did a great job and he created a great own goal for Kompany! ”
Although Lin Yu himself failed to score, it led to Kompany's own goal, which is also a goal, and it is a goal that can help the team win, and its effect is not necessarily worse than his own goal, as long as the team can win the game, these are nothing at all.
"Ninety-two minutes! Ninety-two minutes! Chelsea are ahead! I think the Chelsea players should be most grateful to Manchester City's defender Vincent Kompany, and they should embrace the defender who helped them get the lead! ”
Of course, this kind of ridicule will make Manchester City fans in front of the TV very annoyed, but the fact is that Kompany did score an own goal, and it's no wonder that others will say it.
……
With only the last minute left until the end of the game, Manchester City's chances are running out, can they only accept such a defeat?
Of course, some people accept it silently, but some people are not convinced, anyway, losing one goal is also a loss, losing two goals is also a loss, this is not the Champions League knockout round, it doesn't matter how you play.
So even though there was only one minute left, Manchester City suddenly launched a final wave of onslaught, and they wanted to do something almost impossible in that last minute.
Since Chelsea's defenders can make one mistake.
Since their own defenders can score own goals.
So why can't you let the opposing defender miss again? (To be continued......)
