"Well, the main lineup on Sporting Lisbon's side is, Baggio, Fowler, Ribery."

"Dunkai, Essien, Toure."

"Grosso, Chiellini, Hierro, McConn."

"Lyman."

"There's not much to say about this line-up, this should be the main squad for Manchester City."

With a whistle blowing.

The game has officially begun.

Chelsea continued to storm in the first five minutes.

They are one of the few teams in the Premier League at this stage that can combine some delicate small cooperation at the same time.

That's what Italian players like Gianfranco Zola bring to Chelsea.

But in the sixth minute, after Manchester City got the ball, Deng Kai took the initiative to retreat.

The rest of the players started to press up.

In the end, he relied on the numerical advantage to take the football through the half.

Then McCone crossed from the bottom to launch a threatening attack.

Robbie Fowler has a divine help this season, grabbing a position and hitting the goal with a single shot.

It's a pity that he was pounced on by Cudicini.

But the attack sent the Chelsea man out in a cold sweat.

Defending and counter-attacking they see a lot.

Manchester City is not a defensive counter-attack.

Rather, it is a real continentalization offensive.

It is Arsenal's kind of mercury-dropping passing cooperation + offensive style of play pressed by the whole army.

Extremely strong!

Chelsea vowed that when they played Manchester City in the early stages of the league, they were nothing but a sieve, and there was no such attacking pressure.

When we played against Manchester City last month, Manchester City was also soft, why was it only a month and it was reborn?

This is a question that veteran Manchester City fans can easily answer.

First of all, on the day of that game, the Manchester City players knew that Deng Kai was going to Oscar in the evening and would bring them autographs.

If you want to say that it doesn't have any impact on the state of the game, that's impossible.

Secondly, you don't look at what Manchester City is doing in the league.

Ashley Young, Adriano, Ribery

Deng Kai, Thiago Silva, Sun Jihai

Grosso, Chiellini, Fonte, Lahm

Caballero!

Most of the players were substitutes for Manchester City.

There are even players who haven't played in years.

Fonte: Exactly!

And the goalkeeper is also very crucial, Caballero! Do you know who Caballero is?

That's a one-man goalkeeper who defends Argentina!

But where the goalkeeper is Cech, there are two fewer goals conceded.

Don't look at Cech this season, he is almost one of the worst goalkeepers in the Premier League.

But the vast majority of the goals he conceded came in the course of attacking, and there were also many mistakes and own-goals that resulted in goals.

In addition to that, his save success rate is actually quite impressive.

Only the success rate of Cech's saves in front of the goal line is counted, and he ranks in the top three in the Premier League!

This is also the reason why Deng Kai dares to practice Cech all the time.

Because the data shows that even if Cech can't practice, his basic game is still there.

There will be no situation where you can't go back if you don't practice.

Eleventh minute.

Frank Lampard showed his insight, slotting a through ball into Hasselbaink.

Hierro put the pressure on in time to cause Hasselbaink to stop the ball a little wider.

Lehmann, who attacked, managed to defuse the crisis and did not give Hasselbaink a chance to get up, otherwise Manchester City would have hanged.

In the seventeenth minute, Chelsea, who had been suppressed for the most part, showed their incisive counter-attacking skills.

Terry linked up with Zola, who wobbled in quick succession to create a yellow card for Toure.

This is a relatively big blow to Manchester City.

Because Toure plays a key role in midfield, he is responsible for all areas between the two penalty areas, and naturally he is responsible for both offensive and defensive ends.

Getting a yellow card early on his back can have a serious impact on his defensive performance.

Twenty-seventh minute.

Baggio retreated and distributed the ball to Deng Kai, who was pulled to the wing.

Deng Kai flicked the ball down the flank and accelerated to eat Chelsea right-back Mario raw.

Deng Kai cut all the way to the edge of the big penalty area.

Chelsea's right centre-back Graeme came out.

Frank Lampard also tried to get over and flick Dunkay.

Bang!

Deng Kai flashed again, forming a three-stage forward route longitudinally, diagonally to the right front, and vertically.

He shook off his opponent completely, and completed a powerful horizontal pass in front of the baseline.

Bang!

The ball hit John Terry's calf as he rebounded into position and bounced into Chelsea's own goal.

After a brief silence, the City fans cheered.

“GOAL！ Pretty! It's so beautiful! ”

"This is Deng Kai! He can do almost everything on the pitch. ”

"This sharp side breakthrough, I believe you when you say he is Ronaldo!"

"The key is that Ronaldo can't send such a threatening horizontal pass!"

"Deng Kai managed to make an own goal."

Terry looked a little frustrated, he was so unlucky. If he doesn't come, the ball may just slide through because Fowler, Baggio and the others are not in place. ”

"But Terry didn't dare to bet, and Dunkai's pass was too fast, and he didn't give Terry a chance to dodge."

1 to 0!

Manchester City are ahead of Chelsea.

However, Manchester City and Chelsea's record against each other this season has not changed.

They still haven't scored a single goal.

In the three meetings, Chelsea have scored nine goals, eight in the Manchester City goal and one in their own goal, which is a terrible efficiency.

Thirty-first minute.

Petit connects with Goodjohnsen.

Gudjohnsen shoots from distance on the way to the ball.

Essien made a mistake in the tackle and brought down Gudjohnsen.

This is a typical battle between offense and defense.

Gudjohnsen's long-range shot was improvised, it did hit and it didn't pose a threat to the goal.

He anticipated Essien's tackle.

Essien was overshadowed by Goodjohnsen.

This Icelandic sniper has a long history of tutoring and has a wealth of experience in making fouls.

Gudjohnsen played for the Icelandic national team in 1996 when he was 16 years old, and his father was the "King of Iceland" when he substituted him!

Coming from a family of football kings, he was still an indispensable and important member of the team's forward line even after Chelsea entered the era of Mourinho and Drogba.

Sure enough, the referee came over and showed Essien a yellow card.

Two of the three Manchester City midfielders were booked.

The situation does not seem to be good.

However, City's attack has intensified since then.

Deng Kai gestured frequently to his teammates to press forward.

Even Toure kept pushing forward.

It's because of the problems on the defensive end that you have to go all out on the offense.

It's a gamble.

Bet on your offensive prowess.

Bet on Manchester City to score before Chelsea break through their own defence.

Thirty-fourth minute.

Gianfranco Zolane cuts past Grosso and delivers a clever pass.

Hasselbaink's header hit the post, just a few centimetres away from the goal.

Bang!

Chiellini clears the ball with a big foot.

But the ball fell to the edge of the box and Frank Lampard was caught up and kicked back with a long-range shot.
