Carlo Ancelotti knows Terry isn't in the right place.

This is by no means the Chelsea captain he wants, there is no indomitable momentum in the past, and there is no bold determination in the past, and the four words of lost soul appear on the Chelsea captain, which is unreasonable. However, Ancelotti also knows that it makes sense.

What makes sense but doesn't make sense is what makes Ancelotti feel so tricky.

If he changes someone, he will never have the slightest hesitation at this time, even if it is only in the first half, he will replace him, although it has always been taboo to passively change the central defender in the game. But if it is necessary, he has the right and the qualification. It's just that this man is John Terry, he's not just the captain, he's the heart of the Chelsea team on the pitch.

Carlo Ancelotti could certainly choose to replace him, but that would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face, and John Terry wouldn't like his decision, nor would the 40,000 Chelsea fans in the stands. So, Terry has to stay on the pitch.

At half-time, Capello did not stay in the stands and got up and went to the lounge. Judging by the first half of the game, Bridge's table was clearly better than Terry, which is nothing controversial and not surprising at all. Of course, this does not mean that he has to regret his previous decision, the table is the table, and the strength is the strength. For England, John Terry has a much bigger role than Bridge, and even if Ashley Cole is injured, it will be far less difficult to find a replacement for Bridge than it will be for Terry.

This is a fact that cannot be changed by one game.

In the second half, Yibian fought again.

As Linson expected, Ancelotti did not change Terry, but replaced Mikel, who made a mistake in the first half, and replaced Belletti, and replaced Joe Cole, who was inactive in the first half, and replaced Sturridge.

Neither substitution is a counter-substitution. After the versatile Belletti comes on the pitch. Directly replaced Malouda's position, and the French winger moved forward. Former Manchester City player Sturridge came on and went straight up front, while Nicolas Anelka was pulled up wide. With two strikers, two strikers, and two balanced midfielders, Ballack and Frank Lampard, Ancelotti's intention is already very obvious, and that is to attack!

Ancelotti's adjustment hit the nail on the head.

Just five minutes into the second half, Malouda, who was exhausted by Robben in the first half, received a pass from Ballack in front of the field, and sent the ball to the edge of the penalty area with a pass, and Frank Lampard, who was inserted at high speed, volleyed in with his feet, and in the face of this powerful shot, the view was blocked by Given's power. One to two. Chelsea, playing at home, pulled a goal back and revived the fans' hopes.

On the football field, the difference between one ball and two goals is always very different. That's why 1-0 is always called a small win, a narrow win, a 2-0 win is always called a light win, and the second goal is always described as a sealed win.

Lin Sen also made an adjustment, a bold adjustment.

He replaced De Jong with Reuss.

At this time, the 4231 of Manchester City on the field almost became 4141.

Linson's idea is simple, since Ancelotti has put the heavy bet on the attacking line. I'm going to make up for Terry's aberrations today with offense, so I'm going to put some bets on offense and attack. Why not? You only have two all-round midfielders, I only have one defensive midfielder, you have Drogba, I have Suarez. You've got Frank Lampard, I've got David Silva, you've got Nicolas Anelka. I have Robben.

Who's afraid of whom? ――

Kompany handed the ball to Bridge on the left.

As soon as Bridge's foot touched the ball, there was another shrill boo from the stands.

The boos were still loud, as loud as they had been at the start of the game.

Bridge was undeniably disappointed because he had been one of the people in the past, and after deciding not to shake Terry's hand, he thought he was likely to be booed, but he didn't expect the boos in the stands to be so loud, as if all the Chelsea fans were on the opposite side of him.

The boos accompanied him for most of the game, and Bridge's emotions gradually changed from disappointment to anger. But he's not a striker, and if he's a striker, then he's going to face Terry, and he'll do whatever it takes to score in front of Terry. But his position is at left-back, so the task is destined to be left to his team-mates.

Seeing Anelka running towards him with bad intentions, Bridge, who couldn't see the ball line, did not hesitate to pass the ball back to Kompany. Bridge knew that there must be countless people in front of the TV at this time who wanted to break through with the ball, then run all the way to the opposing half, and then pass and score...... However, although Bridges was angry, he did not lose his mind.

It's very dangerous for a full-back to play tricks in his own defence, especially when there are no team-mates to help him, and he doesn't plan to play against Nicolas Anelka at this time.

In this game, he just needs to do his best.

Before the game, the media turned this match into a direct duel between him and Terry, but in fact, the position of the two was already destined to be a duel between two teammates.

The winner of this game is the winner of this showdown.

Both sides played against each other, and the scene suddenly became better.

Vidal broke the ball and he played it to the left, and Reus, who had just arrived at Manchester City from Malaga in La Liga in the winter, burst forward with the ball and split the ball! Pretty! He's past Ballack, and now, who else thinks he's only coming to Manchester City on the basis of his relationship with Lin...... Reus was ready to repeat the same trick, but this time, he ran into Branislav Ivanovic and the ball was broken. ”

"Anelka! He was facing Bridge, and there was a lot of noise in the stands, and it seemed that they were not going to forgive Bridges for that pre-game move, and it was over! Arnell passed Bridge...... Foul! Bridge pulled down Anelka from behind, the crowd was booed, and the referee came over to show him a yellow card, and now he has to be careful. ”

……

A court, front, middle and back three lines, the front court determines the attack, the midfield determines the balance, and the defense determines the defense.

Manchester City are in better form at the back than Chelsea, and the seemingly unbalanced midfield is in fact maintaining that balance. It's just that the two teams have different staffing in the midfield, with Chelsea filling in the midfield with two more versatile players, Ballack and Frank Lampard, while Linson replaced Frenkie de Jong and allowed Vidal to concentrate on sweeping, with the duo of Reus and David Silva regularly dropping back to assist in the defence, while up front, both teams invested heavily in the defence.

There are three ways to the left, the middle and the right, and the three lines are equally important. Although Malouda set up Chelsea's second-half goal, it was City who dominated the flanks, with Robben and Petrov on the wings. In the first half, one attack and one defense, and in the second half, after Linson replaced Reuss, Reus, who often moved to the wing, brought a change to the left side, and Anelka, who retreated from the front, was destined not to give Ivanovic much help, which meant that Ivanovic had to face the impact of two players with completely different characteristics of Reus and Petrov alone.

In the middle, it was Chelsea who took the lead, with Ballack and Frank Lampard both juggling defence, but the two combined. It was still enough to make City's only midfielder lighter than Dadal, who did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

One comes and goes, one gains and one loss. The advantages of both sides are not very obvious.

But, now the lead is Manchester City.

Home should have been Chelsea's advantage, but now it is City's advantage. The former should have been able to suppress the latter. But when the latter became dominant, the former's advantage was wiped out, and more crucially, Chelsea were now a fatal point that Carlo Ancelotti was trying to hide. And Manchester City, no, no, no. Lin Sen was still magnifying the other party's fatal point as much as possible.

In the 75th minute, Manchester City extended the score again.

Frank Lampard's long-range shot was unsuccessful, Given's quick throw from the back, Manchester City launched a quick counter-attack, Belletti had already blocked City's attack, but because of his big support, or hesitation, he was in a lethal position - the edge of the box was tackled by David Silva, facing the solitary Silva, the helpless Belletti chose a worse way to deal with it, he made a desperate pull in the box.

David Silva went to the ground, the referee did not have the slightest politeness, a penalty, and a red card.

The whole time, Terry didn't show up.

While the Chelsea players were arguing with the referee, David Silva was already picking up the ball and then looking at Bridge at the back.

He understood what he meant, and wanted Bridge to take the penalty.

Again, this is a reasonable and unconscionable move, as Bridge has never been a penalty taker for Manchester City.

Bridge shook his head, he wasn't going to take the penalty, he knew what David Silva meant, and he knew that if he went up and took the penalty now, no one in the team would have an opinion, but he also knew it, the penalty. It only makes sense if you enter. This temptation is great, but not to mention his current mentality, even in normal times, his grasp is not great.

David Silva didn't force Bridge, and a minute later, the score was 3-1.

Manchester City seal the win!

There were still a dozen minutes to go, but this time, it was really a seal because Chelsea were not only two goals behind, but they were one man less.

Carlo Ancelotti was disappointed, more disappointed than he was when he first lost to Linson, not only because the defeat cost Chelsea one of their best chances to get rid of Manchester City in the league table, but also because the result of this game will undoubtedly have more than 90 minutes of impact on John Terry.

The game went into stoppage time and Lin Sen made the last substitution.

Cesar Azpilicueta replaces Bridge.

Bridge was obviously stunned that he was replaced at this time, this is not a city stadium, and here, the final end will not be applauded.

However, the thought had just flashed.

Accompanied by boos, a small but clear applause had reached Bridge's ears, not entirely from the Manchester City fans who had travelled with the team to the road.

The live broadcast of the game was aimed at one of the Chelsea stands, where some Chelsea fans stood and applauded.

At the end of the day, the feud was gone, and Bridge, after all, was still a member of Chelsea. (To be continued......)
