Chapter 835: Chelsea break the deadlock

Kovacic patted his forehead in annoyance.

If we had scored this goal first, it would have been a very different situation tonight.

With the ball at the feet of Manchester City, Chelsea adopted a contraction strategy, placing heavy men in their own half, and clearly set out to play a defensive counter-attack with Manchester City.

The defeat in the first three games has made it very clear to Maurizio Sarri that Chelsea may not win a game against Manchester City, maybe ten games.

Jose Mourinho's most valuable legacy to Chelsea is his counter-attacking tactics.

It was also with this tactic that they won the first Champions League trophy in the club's history.

After Manchester City pushed the football up front, they were met with stubborn resistance from Chelsea, and the scene was very close.

Chelsea with Kante and without Kante are completely different.

Li Chuanqi frequently returned to the midfield to get the ball, and Manchester City played a no-striker tactic.

In the eleventh minute of the first half, Li Chuanqi withdrew to the midfield to get the ball and continued to cooperate with his teammates, and suddenly turned on the breakthrough mode after taking the ball in the hinterland.

For a while, Chelsea's half-time was bloody and rainy, and people turned their backs.

Li Chuanqi suddenly kicked straight before he got to the penalty area!

The football is like a sharp blade, cutting through the encirclement and flying towards the penalty area!

Aguero flew in and shot with a push!

The ball flew past Kepa on tiptoe and off the line against the post!

Aguero angrily spat at the turf, damn it......

"Coax! ……”

Wembley Stadium resounded with loud cries of regret and joy, followed by thunderous applause.

Chelsea fans felt themselves covered in a cold sweat, and their eyes changed as they looked at Li Chuanqi on the field.

Damn, so many people can't stop him?!

This guy is definitely scarier than Messi!

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri was very unhappy with his backline and yelled at them, damn it, the midfielder went to help you defend against Lee, you defenders can't even defend against Aguero?

Several Chelsea midfielders looked serious, although they didn't give Li Chuanqi a chance to shoot, but let him pass the football out!

If it weren't for goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga's timely attack, the goal would have been ...... There is a high probability that it will ......

Nima, this is the opponent's first threatening attack......

The resumption of the game saw the two sides battle it out near midfield, with N'Golo Kante's return from injury really adding to Chelsea's defensive rigidity and intensity.

City made several tackles and were ready to attack, but under N'Golo Kante, City had no chance to attack and had to move the ball to the backline.

Stifling City's swift counter-attack, Chelsea set up a bucket formation in their own half.

Manchester City was like a lion biting hard at the turtle Chelsea, who blocked the city's sharp teeth with his hard shell.

The scene was extremely stale.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Chelsea made a tackle in the heart of the field and immediately launched a quick counter-attack and the football was at the feet of Eden Hazard.

Eden Hazard gets rid of Stones' defence and crosses diagonally!

After Willian got the ball, he dodged Delph's defense in front of the penalty area and shot hard!

The soccer ball goes straight to the left side of the goal!

Ederson jumped to his feet and bravely saved the football!

Returning to the defence, John Stones moved the ball to the flanks and completely defused Chelsea's very dangerous attack.

Once again, there was a huge cry of regret and applause at Wembley Stadium.

Chelsea are like a boxer, defending immediately after punching and not giving City a chance to take down quickly.

Manchester City dominated possession but were unable to find a weak spot in Chelsea's defence.

A battle of attack and defence unfolded at Wembley Stadium.

"Shhhh ……”

There were huge boos from the City fans, mocking Chelsea's half-time.

Damn it, let's fight against each other!

"Turtle!"

"Turtle!"

"Turtle!"

Manchester City fans shouted at the Chelsea players.

The Chelsea players were unfazed and stuck to their style of play.

Premier League Fans' Forum, Countless Fans Cheer for Chelsea:

'Come on, Chelsea, you are the hope of all Premier Leagues!'

"We want results, as for the process...... What is the process? ”

'Maurizio Sarri has good tactics! I'll give him a hundred points! ”

'Chelsea with Kante is really different from Chelsea without Kante! Come on, Chelsea, I'm optimistic about you! ”

……

At Wembley Stadium, the coaches of both sides commanded the game loudly in the command area, and you can imagine how close the game was.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Chelsea were awarded a free-kick on the left.

Players from both sides gathered outside the penalty line.

The atmosphere on the field became tense.

Chelsea fans want their side to use this set-piece opportunity to break the deadlock!

Manchester City fans were nervous as their side did not have an advantage in defending high balls, with nearly half of the goals conceded being headed over the head.

Eden Hazard sends the ball into the box!

Players from both sides are pouring towards the football like a tidal wave!

Jorginho leaps high and smashes Stones to head home!

The ball changes direction and flies towards the top left corner of the goal!

It was a tricky header and despite his best efforts, the ball flew past his fingertips and into the net!

"Jorginho!"

The London Sports Announcer shouted excitedly: "The ball is in!" Entered! Entered! Entered! ……”

The Manchester City sports station commentator said regretfully: "It's Jorginho again! In the first leg of the Premier League between the two sides, Jorginho once took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to head the ball into the Manchester City goal......

Tonight the scene is repeated!

Manchester City's high altitude defence is very average indeed......"

The Sky Sports commentator shouted: "One to zero! Chelsea seized the opportunity to break the deadlock and take a one-goal lead!

It was a brilliant free-kick opportunity in front of the goal, and Eden Hazard's free-kick found Jorginho with precision!

Jorginho has a header from a tricky angle!

Things are going in Chelsea's favour!

However, the current Manchester City is not the Manchester City of the past, they have experienced a lot of behind-scoring situations this season, and in the end they have all come back, and even achieved overtaking in some games! ”

On the pitch, Jorginho ran wildly on the pitch, wantonly venting his inner joy.

Maurizio Sarri, who was standing in the command area, waved his fists excitedly, and there was jubilation behind him, and the players rushed onto the pitch and ran towards Jorginho!

Chelsea took the lead.

The Chelsea fans in person and in front of the TV were overjoyed and roared with excitement.

Manchester City fans, on the other hand, fell silent.

At the moment, the Premier League fan forum is completely boiling:

"One to zero! Come on, Chelsea! You are the hope of the whole Premier League! Kill that damn Manchester City! ”

"Chelsea! 1 to 0! I love you, Jorginho! ”

"Come on! One goal is not enough, keep working hard and look forward to the second goal! ”

"Manchester City fans, where is your Lee?"
