Even Morris didn't expect that Sun Jihai's appearance would have such a big effect.

When he learned that Sun Jihai was going to replace Silva, Morris also had a little doubt about whether the substitution was correct, after all, it was Silva who was substituted, Silva has always performed well, even if he made a substitution, he felt that he should not replace Silva.

When Morris had great trust in Wansheng, he quickly suppressed his doubts and took the game seriously.

After receiving the order of the ear, Morris learned of Wansheng's plan, and he was very surprised, because of the theory of 'all-powerful, all-attack, all-defending'...... Still theoretical, he didn't expect Wan Sheng to try to do this in the final.

But the team has completed the substitution, and he can only put down his mind and continue to work hard to play.

It didn't take long for Morris to find out what the substitutions were all about.

He feels like he's playing more easily, especially defensively, he doesn't have to pay attention to the opponent's position, he doesn't have to run to make room for it, he doesn't have to run back to the back for long distances.

In the big picture, the team's defense has clearly increased its efficiency.

The efficiency of the defence increased, and the battle for midfield became dominant, so the tide began to tilt in City's favor.

For Chelsea, the opposite is true.

They were on the back of the net and were looking for an equaliser, and they did well in the first few minutes, but when City made the substitutions, they became more and more passive.

It's not enough that the midfield is not competing, and the opponent's attack is still very strong.

With 75 minutes into the game, their fitness has begun to slip and they are a little out of step with City.

The problem is obvious.

Some of the younger players were better, especially the veterans, with significantly less movement.

At the beginning of the game, even if they were shaken, the players would run with them, using running to press the opponent to create pressure, but now it's different, in the past two attacks, some Chelsea players have been shaken, and they simply don't chase after them, just walk slowly, while watching Manchester City's passing and their teammates' defence.

These people really can't run.

British BBS sports TV commentator Ryan John analyzed, "Among the teams in the Premier League, Manchester City is the most intense in training and the best in physical reserves, their games require every player to keep running, and the physical fitness is poor and cannot support the whole stadium at all, compared to Chelsea, they are like Makelle, who are already veterans who are about to retire......"

'The two teams have been in a fast pace for this game, and the physical consumption of the Chelsea players is no worse than that of Manchester City, so it is to be expected that some players will not be able to keep up with it so far.

As Ryan John spoke, Chelsea were ready for a substitution.

The substitution was not a surprise as midfielder Claude Makelele was replaced by Nigeria's Mikel.

'Claude Makelle was clearly a bit frustrated, and Grant opted for a substitution, with Mikel coming in for him, the Nigerian is still quite strong, and Mikel has made 29 appearances for Chelsea this season......

The commentator then introduced Mikel, who is no stranger to many fans, and has been quite consistent since arriving at Chelsea.

But Milk's appearance can't change the overall picture.

Chelsea's midfield race has become passive, the tide has shifted in the direction of Manchester City, and with a goal down, they need to pay more attention to defence.

Midfield is Chelsea's biggest headache and Morris is their biggest headache.

Morris is the heart of Manchester City and a key player in the attack, and Chelsea's emphasis on Morris is needless to say, and so far in the game, their defense of Morris can be said to be quite successful.

However, as far as the game progressed, they found it really difficult to get Morris.

The key point is that Morris's position is generally lower than the two full-backs, especially after Silva is off, Morris is only slightly ahead of Sun Jihai and Bloomer, and sometimes, he will even be behind Sun Jihai and Bloomer, completely acting as the player who organizes the attack.

Chelsea couldn't have set up a position to defend Morris and that would have been too dangerous for them, especially since City have a Torres up front.

If Manchester City are allowed to easily hit the ball behind them, their defensive stability will be useless.

So they can only arrange a solid defense in front of the penalty area to block the connection between the midfielder and the striker, that is, Torres, which they did well, but Manchester City's attack has nothing to do with Torres most of the time, Morris, Ivan Crewe and other five midfielders, as well as Carlos, Lescott The two fullbacks are very active, sometimes the two fullbacks will also frequently insert assists, they continue to complete the pass near the halfway, sometimes play the ball to the front, sometimes pass the ball to the back, Chelsea's fitness is a bit out of pace, and a lot of times City pass and receive the ball from behind, and they can only watch from afar.

After Sun Jihai's appearance, Manchester City's attack did not actually become stronger, but as time passed, Chelsea's defense became a lot weaker.

They still have the heart to keep fighting, but fitness has become a key issue.

City's attack didn't change much, so Chelsea became very passive.

In the midst of the attack, Morris soon discovered that the biggest threat to Chelsea's defence was Ivan Crewe on the right.

Morris and Ivan Crewe are all too familiar and he knows that Ivan Krue, Ivan Crewe is the best at working together.

For now, whenever he gets the ball past, Ivan Crewe is able to figure out what to do next, if he's a little threatened, he gets it back, and when he has the chance, he tentatively plays it in the middle.

It seemed like a simple pass, but Ivan Crewe's correct judgment made the team's right side the most threatening way, so Morris passed more to the right.

It's a small change that Chelsea didn't notice at all.

From their point of view, they even feel that Ljungberg is more dangerous because Ljungberg often breaks through with the ball on his own, and when he gets the ball in the corner of the box, it almost directly threatens the Chelsea goal, whereas Ivan Crewe just passes the ball and hardly looks for opportunities himself.

This time City's attack was the same.

After a dizzying flurry of passes and runs, the ball fell to Morris and he swept it towards the Chelsea goal to distribute it down the right.

Ivan Crewe was running forward.

When receiving a pass from Morris, he was just a few metres in front of Frank Lampard, who caught up to press and Ivan Crewe glanced at the Chelsea defence and suddenly delivered a big kick.

Frank Lampard couldn't catch it off!

You know, every time Ivan Crewe receives a pass, he will choose to pass to the middle, or to pass back, and there is almost no big foot pass, which is rare in Manchester City's entire attack.

Frank Lampard stopped where he was and turned to look at the football.

The ball slashed through the air, reaching a full three metres at its highest point, before falling headlong to the back of the penalty area.

In that direction, both Ljungberg and Torres are moving forward quickly!

"A long pass!"

"Ivan Crewe! He shifted the ball to the left side accurately! This is a great opportunity for Manchester City! ”

With the narrator's call, Wan Sheng's expression became serious.

He was watching the game from the sidelines, and it was expected that the team would be able to play the advantage in the final moments, but that didn't mean the victory, it was always the goals that would determine the victory.

Now's the perfect opportunity!

Torres and Ljungberg are both rushing forward, can they take advantage of this opportunity?

――――

It was Torres who was the ball up front, and although he cut in diagonally, Ljungberg ran a little longer.

Torres ran to position and reached out to unload the ball.

Terry, who had been defending Torres during the game, immediately rushed over, knowing that he must not give Torres room to his feet.

After Torres unloaded the ball, Terry had already rushed up.

Ljungberg also arrived, and when he saw Torres receiving the ball, he slowed down and kept more than two metres away from Torres so he could pick up the ball at any time.

Ljungberg was farther away from goal than Torres, but also in the box, which was very dangerous to the Chelsea goal, so Terry didn't pay attention to Ljungberg, and the other defender of Ljungberg, Milk, has not yet run back.

Terry has to face Torres and Ljungberg alone.

The England guard stared at Torres, keeping an eye on his movements, but Torres didn't give Terry time to react, and after controlling the ball, he made a kick back as soon as he got the ball.

It's almost a move to pass the ball to Ljungberg!

Ljungberg was in the box and if Torres had completed the pass, he would have been close to facing the door of the Petr Cech.

So Terry stretched his feet!

After making the move, the England defender regretted it, because Torres did not pass the ball, but waved the ball and immediately chose to swing his right leg hard!

A push at a small angle!

"Torres! Torres! Narrator Ryan John lengthened his voice.

Torres is more than a dozen meters away from the goal, showing about 45 degrees, and it is a bit difficult to push the ball into the goal from this position, especially since Cech has been paying attention to Torres' movements.

This time, Torres had a tricky angle and a quick ball, and Cech reacted to make a save, but by the time he got to the right place, the ball had already crossed the line.

The moment Cech lay on the ground, he could barely turn his head to look at the goal in despair.

"Torres - !!"

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！”

The soccer ball rushed past the goal line and plunged into the net, and everyone looked at the soccer ball swinging in the net in a daze.
