The referee showed no mercy and showed yellow cards to Ramirez for the foul, David Silva and Yaya Toure respectively.

Before the first half was played, both sides had already received six yellow cards.

Four of the six yellow cards were saddled by Manchester City players.

This made Pellegrini on the sidelines worried, and his two midfielders all received yellow cards, which is not good news!

In the second half, it seemed that early substitutions would have to be made, otherwise the team's midfield defense would have been in serious trouble.

Thinking of this, he looked at the team's bench.

There were three midfielders on the bench, Kroos, Fernando and Frank Lampard.

Yes, the Blues' magic lamp is now at Manchester City.

This summer, Frank Lampard's contract with Chelsea expired and the two sides did not renew his contract, and Lampard left Major League Soccer to pan for gold.

The New York City team chose to loan him back to the Premier League, just because Manchester City was short of personnel, so at the last minute of the transfer window, the two sides signed a loan contract.

Under his contract, Frank Lampard will remain with Manchester City until January.

At that time, based on his performance on the court, it will be decided whether to continue to renew his contract or let him return to New York City.

Kroos's defensive ability is not strong, but his offensive ability is outstanding, and if he plays, he can effectively improve Manchester City's attacking ability.

Frank Lampard and Fernando are stronger defensively and could be sent up to stabilize the situation if City take the lead.

Thinking of this, Pellegrini had a plan in his mind.

He was going to decide who to send on depending on the situation in the second half, but until then, the team could not afford to play any more cards.

If you eat cards again, it is likely that you will have to reduce the number of personnel!

Inside the Etihad Stadium, watching the hot scene on the pitch, as well as the constant fouls and yellow cards.

The attention of the fans in the stadium gradually shifted from the game to attacking the opposing players and fans.

The atmosphere of the game was strange, with players from both sides playing with a clear emotion.

And this situation, for Chelsea striker Diego Costa, is simply tailor-made.

Diego Costa's hands and feet are not very clean, and he is very good at using some hidden small movements to squeeze people when it comes to physical confrontation.

Zabaleta was only after he was yin, and he was embarrassed and fouled and received a yellow card.

At this time, seeing that the opposing defender was burdened with a yellow card, Diego Costa consciously rubbed against the Manchester City player with the card on his body, took the initiative to seek physical confrontation, and continued to use his small actions to provoke the opponent.

City's defenders were annoyed by him, and Demichelis was rewarded with a yellow card for a vengeful tackle while defending him.

Manchester City have already received 5 yellow cards in this game!

"Boy, this is just a lesson, next time let me see those little movements of yours, watch out for your legs!"

Demichelis didn't care about the yellow card he received, and after a foul, he glared at Diego Costa viciously and issued a warning to him.

Diego Costa fell to the ground grinning in pain.

The opponent's tackle this time is really heavy!

After realizing that the other party was not joking, his small movements really restrained a lot.

Manchester City's players were furious, but they kept Chelsea at bay in the first half.

In this game, Mourinho put Ramires in the central midfield position and retreated Xiaofa to the midfielder position.

The change left Chelsea's midfield a little unable to hold the ball, and Willian's overly sticky flaw was exposed, as he likes to carry the ball once it reaches his feet, and even if he wants to pass the ball, he will delay it again.

In this case, City's defence has long been in place, and it will be difficult for him to make a threat if he passes the ball again.

It's not just Willian who has been bad, Hazard has been in a slump as well.

Chelsea struggled to form an effective attack in the first half, and their fluid combination and superior attacking firepower in the previous games seemed to be dumb in front of Manchester City.

On the sidelines, Mourinho also frowned.

Although the psychological tactics worked, the team's offense could not threaten, which is not good news!

As long as City's players regain their composure, they can pose a threat in attack at any time.

Especially in the opponent's lineup, there is a supergiant existence like Lin Quan!

Therefore, he had to continue to foul Lin Quan and completely anger him.

In the 41st minute, Ivanovic brought down Lin Quan at the edge of the penalty area and received the eighth yellow card of the game.

This is the third time in a short period of time that a Chelsea player has committed a serious foul on Lin Quan!

However, to the surprise of Mourinho and the Chelsea players, Lin Quan did not seem to be injured or provoked.

After being kicked, he quickly got up from the ground, held the ball and placed the ball at the foul site, ready to take the free kick.

Seeing the position of this free-kick, Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

His instincts told him that this position was very dangerous!

"Damn, why can't this guy kick it down?"

Seeing that he stood up so quickly, and his mood seemed to be very stable, and he was not affected too much, Mourinho's heart suddenly doubted whether his tactics were right!

"Do you want me to cover up with you?"

De Bruyne stepped forward and asked.

He has scored a number of goals from free-kicks in recent games and is in good form at this point.

If he appeared behind the football at the same time as Lin Quan, the opposing goalkeeper would definitely not be able to accurately judge who was in charge of the penalty.

"No need, I'll just do it myself!"

Lin Quan glanced at the Chelsea goal and met goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois's gaze in the air.

Courtois saw the smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, and his heart became more vigilant.

How will the opponent play this ball?

Is it an elevator ball, or an S-shaped free kick?

Courtois was a little confused, both of these methods were used frequently, and the success rate was very high.

However, his judgment was wrong.

At the moment when the referee awarded the free kick, Lin Quan had already thought about how to kick this goal.

As he retreated, he entered the system shop interface and spent 50 points to buy Robert Carlos' heavy artillery shooting technique.

After thinking about it for a while, he spent another 100 points to increase the strength attribute to the full level.

Well, it's time to put on the show!

After purchasing two talents, Lin Quan withdrew from the system, while his people were still retreating, getting farther and farther away from football.

The faces of the Chelsea players began to change when they saw the distance of the opponent's run.

What the hell does this guy want?

Is it serious to take 20 meters back?

With such a long running distance, the opponent is going to shoot the goal with a heavy artillery, right?

The Chelsea players at the front of the wall couldn't help but pray in their hearts that Lin would be able to play accurately.

But don't call the ball at them, being hit by this kind of heavy artillery will definitely not feel good, and you may even get injured if you don't do it!

Courtois cheered up, he suspected that Lin Quan was playing tricks, because he had never seen Lin Quan shoot heavy artillery before.

But he didn't dare to be careless, because just because he hadn't seen it didn't mean that the other party wouldn't.

When the whole Chelsea team was facing a big enemy, Lin Quanquan moved.

He sprinted at full speed, every step felt like stepping on the heart of the Chelsea players, leaving them shudder and fear.

This terrible running speed, he really has to hit the heavy artillery!

Courtois's eyes widened, and with his goalkeeper experience, he judged the opponent's intentions.

And the Chelsea players in the front row are obviously aware of this, and when Lin Quan kicked the ball, they all covered their key parts and subconsciously dodged the football.

Bang!

A bang!

Yes!

A scream!

Or someone didn't hide from it!

The Chelsea players breathed a sigh of relief as they looked curiously in the direction where the sound was coming from.

Their midfielder Nemanja Matic was clutching his stomach in pain, his body bent into the shape of a shrimp.

Seeing him break out in a cold sweat and the painful appearance of opening his mouth but not making a sound, the Chelsea players all felt palpitations.

This is revenge, revenge of Hongguoguo!

Matic took the lead in fouling Lin Quan before, and he also made insulting remarks.

This time, Lin Quan's free kick was deliberately crooked, no, with the opponent's footwork, it is likely that he deliberately looked for Matic!

Thinking of this, the Chelsea generals looked at Lin Quan with some horror and fear.

It's scary in this kid!

But the other party used this method to retaliate against them, and they couldn't even let out a fart!

Chelsea's team doctors rushed on the pitch and, after a check-up on Nemanja Matic, determined that he was no longer available.

Mourinho's face turned pale, and Nemanja Matic's unexpected injury completely disrupted his plans.

He had to bring on Miguel in place of Nemanja Matic.

Nemanja Matic's injury was a big shock to the Chelsea players, and they didn't dare to foul Lin Quan for the rest of the day, especially Lin Quan.

This guy is too vindictive, and his methods of revenge are too terrible, and no one wants to end up like Matic.

Chelsea have relented, but City have no intention of letting them go.

Late in the first half, Manchester City formed a siege on the Chelsea goal.

In the 44th minute, Silva crossed from the left, and Lin Quan grabbed the point in the penalty area and hit the goal slightly wide.

A minute later, Yaya Toure split the ball in front of the penalty area and Kolarov, who was cut in from behind, sent a cross from the left at high speed.

In front of goal, Jovetic's header hit the post and the rebounding ball fell to De Bruyne.

He met the ball and shot angrily, but it was not known whether it was a deliberate pass or a shot that missed the target, and instead of flying towards the goal, the ball flew in front of Silva, who was following up on the right.

David Silva sent a through ball into the box between two defenders.

Lin Quan's increased strength squeezed past the opposing defenders, smashed into the penalty area, and stabbed the ball into the Chelsea goal.

In the last minute of the first half, Manchester City would break the deadlock and make it 1-0.

The goal came too timely, and a few dozen seconds later, the referee would blow the whistle at the end of the first half.

After seeing Lin Quan's goal, the Manchester City players who were holding their breath rushed towards him like crazy.

And Lin Quan, who has always been calm, is also hot-headed this time.

He took off his jersey, revealing his toned muscles, ran to the side of the pitch, spread his arms, raised his head, and faced the stands with his eyes closed!

The Etihad Stadium erupted in deafening applause and cheers, and the Blue Moon fans cheered with all their might.

This ball, it's so relieving!

Those fouls by Chelsea in the first half have already provoked the anger of Manchester City fans.

If it hadn't been for the security guards on the scene, they would have wanted to rush to the pitch and teach the Chelsea people a good lesson.

Of course, if they do, then the FA will take Manchester City seriously.

At that time, the Etihad Stadium will likely be punished and fans will be banned from the game.

In the coach's seat, Pellegrini felt a rush of heat to his head, he jumped up from his seat excitedly, hugged the assistants around him tightly, and celebrated passionately!

On the side of the away team's coach next door, after seeing Lin Quan's goal, Mourinho was so angry that he turned around and kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him.

Damn it!

It couldn't have come at a better time!

His tactics were obviously very successful, but what was the problem that completely failed?

Mourinho scratched his head and couldn't figure it out, why Lin Quan was not provoked?

Could it be that the foul was not strong enough?

No, Chelsea have already received three yellow cards on him, how can he foul him?

If you commit another foul, it's the Chelsea player's turn to be sent off with a red card!

Calm down!

I can't mess up my own proportions, my tactics haven't failed yet!

There is still time in the second half!

Hmph, Manchester City, we'll see!

Jose Mourinho returned to the dressing room without looking back, the first half was decided, time was running out, and there was no need to waste any more time.

The priority now is to seize the 45 minutes of the second half and do more!

At half-time, the players on both sides were on their way back to the dressing room when they almost started to move their hands on the players' tunnel because of a few verbal arguments.

If it weren't for the staff on the sidelines and a few referees who showed up in time to stop them, the two sides would have had a big fight.

Manchester City and Chelsea didn't have a deep grudge before, but in this game, there was a lot of dirt between the two sides.

This makes the players on both sides very angry, and the beam between the two teams can be regarded as completely concluded.

"Chelsea's deflated three, wash your ass and wait!"

"Manchester City bitches, I advise you to clean up the shit and don't get beaten up by us later!"

……

Players from both teams exchanged harsh words outside the dressing room, saying foul language related to excrement.

Lin Quan had no interest in such a bickering, and turned around and returned to the locker room.

Upon entering the dressing room, he first saw Frank Lampard sitting calmly in the corner.

In this case, Lampard's identity is awkward.

He is now wearing a Manchester City shirt and should be on his side.

But he has played for Chelsea for 14 years and has a deep bond with the Blues.

So in this situation, it is not appropriate for him to help either side, so he just hides in the locker room and does not come forward.

Lin Quan understood this, and had no intention of going to trouble the other party.

He walked up to Sergio Aguero, who had left the pitch injured, and asked about his injuries with concern.

"How?"

"Hehe, it's not good, the ligament in the left thigh is strained, and it needs to be out of action for 6-8 weeks."

Aguero was barely smiling, but the bitterness and frustration in his tone were palpable.

Lin Quan patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"Recuperate with peace of mind, adjust well, brothers are waiting for you to come back!"
