The game against Liverpool made it meaningless for Linsen to give up his choice before. He couldn’t let his first team play three games in less than ten days. Today, he played against Chelsea in the FA Cup against Stoke City in the middle of the week. Linsen couldn’t finish giving up, but it was a tough game. The relegation situation in the league was excellent. The game was the same as the game against Liverpool. The game was also won at the last minute. The score was 1-2 at home. Stoke City advanced.
From the FA Cup, Linsen is not sorry that in less than two weeks, Manchester City has come to a dangerous situation in a blink of an eye, leaving three lines in the Europa League. At present, the league is facing a strong enemy in the first leg, and at the end of the month, it has to be tired to cope with the Carling Cup final. It can be said that one careless four-line parallel will become four.
Three games, one draw and two losses. Linsen badly needs a victory. Manchester City badly needs a victory.
In this case, no matter how beautiful it is before the game, no matter how sympathetic you are to Bridge, the fact that Lin Senru avoided this matter "unfortunately" can not change the fact that this matter has more advantages than disadvantages for Manchester City only in this game.
On the pitch, all the Manchester City players are holding their breath to prepare their teammates, while on the Chelsea side, not to mention Terry’s depression just now, even other players, even if they follow Ancelotti’s lead before the game and say that their private lives should not affect the team, can hardly take practical actions to support themselves at this time. Compared with the "responsible" fans, they are not so taboo.
Chelsea are at the top of the standings, but at this time the balance of the game is already leaning towards Manchester City.
It’s not only Bridge, but also Manchester City is in better shape than Chelsea. There are other injuries on the Manchester City side except for Bell, the former player. On the Chelsea side, after they lost their main left-back Ashley Cole, Ancelotti went to Italy for the Champions League in the middle of the week and lost another general, that is, Cech, the main goalkeeper. He was diagnosed with a calf muscle tear after pulling a high ball. Let alone today’s game and the second leg of Inter Milan.
Replacing them is to retreat Malouda Hilario, but can these two really replace the other two?
Manchester City quickly gave the answer.
First of all, guest winger Malouda can’t be prevented.
In the 21 ST minute, vidal succeeded in stealing in the backcourt and instigated a counter-attack to catch the ball. Luo made a high-speed dash to Malouda on the right. In the latter, he continued to shake and lost his center of gravity, leaving the Dutchman with a large white area. In the past, Luo was bold and Terry seemed to block it before the mouse. Luo dodged the angle and hung a curveball into the far corner of the goal
Manchester city’s opening goal away from home
Secondly, it is only by relying on experience that Turnbull is squeezed out to become the starting player of the game. Hilario is the method to replace Cech.
In halftime stoppage time, Mikel headed the ball in the midfield. Looking back, Suarez broke the ball randomly and gained speed advantage. He got rid of Ballack’s entanglement and broke into the penalty area. Facing Carvalho, it seemed that his self-confidence suddenly exploded. Uruguayans barely dodged the angle and hit the door. Then there was a scene that made Chelsea fans miss Cech. Hilario made a mistake in his attack. He could watch the ball roll into the door.
Two to Manchester City to expand the score.
The two goals, Ronaldinho and Suarez, went to Bridge to celebrate at the first time, which was self-evident. From the first minute of the game, when Bridge received the stands, Chelsea fans would give a harsh hiss. They needed this way to protect their teammates. Of course, it was also overwhelming at Stamford Bridge Stadium. But what does it matter?
Is there no boo if you don’t celebrate?
But it’s all their own, but it’s all spontaneous and not to be continued
Chapter 13 Who’s afraid of who
Carlo Ancelotti knew that Terry was not in the right state.
This is by no means that he wants the Chelsea captain to have no momentum or courage to make decisions in the past. It is unreasonable for the words to appear in the Chelsea team, but Ancelotti knows that it is reasonable.
Reasonable but unreasonable things, which makes Ancelotti feel so difficult.
If it were another man, he would never hesitate at this time, even at half-time. Although it has always been a taboo to passively change the central defender during the game, he has the advantage and qualification if necessary. This man is Terry, not only the captain, but also the core of this Chelsea defense.
Of course, Ancelotti can choose to change him, but that’s different from hitting himself in the face. Terry won’t like his decision, and 40 thousand Chelsea fans won’t like it. Terry must stay on the scene
Capello didn’t stay in the stands at half-time, but got up and went to the lounge. From the half-game, Bridge’s performance was obviously better than Terry’s, which is not controversial or surprising. Of course, this doesn’t mean that he will regret his previous decision to show his strength. For the English team, Terry is much more difficult than Bridge. Even if Ashley Cole is injured, Bridge’s difficulty in finding a replacement is far less than Terry’s.
This is a game that changes the facts.
Change sides at half time and fight again.
As Tomlinson expected, Carlo Ancelotti did not adjust Terry, but replaced Mikel for Belletti, Joe Cole for Sturridge.
Both substitutions are not counterpoint substitutions. The versatile Belletti directly replaced Malouda’s position after the game. The French winger moved forward, and the former Manchester City player Sturridge directly appeared in the front line after the game, while Alca pulled the winger, double winger, plus two offensive and defensive midfielders Barak and Lampard Ancelotti. The intention is very obvious. That is attack!
Ancelotti hit the nail on the head with this adjustment.
It was only five minutes before the half-time, and the half-time was exhausted by Ronaldo. Malouda received Ballack’s ball in the frontcourt and sent it to the front of the penalty area at high speed. Lampard took advantage of the situation and volleyed at the same time. Facing this situation, the shot line of sight was blocked. Given’s ability, Chelsea pulled back a goal at home one to two, which also pulled back the fans’ hope.
The difference between one ball and two balls in a football field is always a world of difference, which is why one-to-one ratio is always called a small victory, a narrow victory, while two-to-one ratio is always called an easy win, and the second goal is always locked in the victory.
Lin Sen also made adjustments, a bold adjustment.
He, Royce, changed Germany.
At this time, Manchester City 4231 almost became 4141.
Lin Sen’s idea is very simple. Since Ancelotti is betting heavily on the attack line, he plans to attack and defend instead of defending to make up for Terry’s disorder today, then I’m also attacking and adding some bets. Is it necessary to attack? You leave two midfielders and I’ll leave one defensive midfielder. You have Drogba, I have Suarez, you have Lampard, I have David Silva, you have Alca and I have Ronaldo.
Who’s afraid of who?
Kong Pani gives the ball to Bridge on the left.
As soon as Bridge’s foot touched the stands, there was another sharp hiss.
Shh, it’s still big, as big as when the game started.
Bridge is undeniably disappointed because he was once a member here. After deciding not to shake hands with Terry, he thought that he would probably be booed, but he didn’t expect the bleachers to be so loud, as if all Chelsea fans were on the opposite side of him.
Hush, with his half game, Bridge’s mood gradually changed from disappointment to anger, but he was not a striker. If he was a striker, he could face Terry face to face. He could score in front of Terry at all costs, but his position was left-back, which was destined to be handed over to his teammates.
Seeing Arka running towards him with no intention, Bridge didn’t hesitate to return the ball to Kong Pani Bridge, knowing that there must be several people in front of the camera who wanted to break through with the ball, and then running all the way went to the other half, then passed and scored … But Bridge was angry but didn’t lose his mind.
It is very dangerous for a full-back to play with flowers in his own defense zone, especially when there is no teammate to help him defend. He is not going to play against Arka at this time
He just needs to be himself in this game.
Before the game, the media regarded the game as a direct confrontation between him and Terry, but the actual position of the two men was doomed to be a duel between two teammates.
The winner of this game is the winner of this confrontation.
Both sides played an attack, and the scene suddenly became beautiful.
"vidal managed to steal the ball. He took the ball to the left. He just came to Manchester City from Malaga in La Liga in winter. Royce scored a goal with the ball! Beautiful! He passed Ballack, and now who thinks he came to Manchester City with Lin Cai … Royce is going to repeat the old trick, but this time he touched Ivanovich and the ball was broken. "
"Al card! He is facing Bridge’s bleachers. It seems that they are not going to forgive Bridge’s behavior before the game! Al crossed the bridge … Foul! Bridge pulled down Arka from behind. The referee came over and showed him a yellow card. Now he has to be careful. "
……
The front, middle, back and three lines of a stadium decide the attack, the midfield decides the balance, and the defense decides the defense.
Manchester City’s backcourt status is superior to Chelsea’s midfield, which seems to be unbalanced. However, the two teams have different configurations of midfield defenders. Chelsea Ballack and Lampard are two more capable players to fill the midfield defense. After changing Germany, Linsen asked vidal to concentrate on sweeping the double waists. Royce and David Silva often retreated to assist in the defense, while both teams in the frontcourt invested heavily.
The left, middle, right, three roads and three lines are equally important. Although Malouda assisted Chelsea’s goal in the half, Manchester City still occupied the advantage on the wing. Roja Petrov’s two wings attacked and defended at half-time, while Royson often moved to the side after changing Royson at half-time, which brought a change to the left. Retreating from the front line, Arka is doomed to not help Ivanovic much, which means that Ivanovic has to face the two characteristics of Royspetrov alone to finish the impact of different players.
In the middle, Chelsea took the initiative. Although Barack Lampard had to take care of both defense, the combination of them was still enough to make vidal, the only midfielder in Manchester City, dare not cross the line easily.
One comes, one goes, one gains, one loses, and the advantages of both sides are not very obvious.
But now Manchester City is in the lead.
Chelsea should have the advantage at home, but now the momentum is the advantage of Manchester City. The former should be able to suppress the latter, but when the latter is dominant, the former advantage will swing. The key point is that Chelsea is now an Ancelotti trying to cover up the fatal point, while Manchester City is not. Instead of Tomlinson, he is still trying to enlarge the fatal point of the other side as much as possible.
In the 75th minute, Manchester City expanded the score again.
Lampard’s long-range shot failed. Given quickly threw the backcourt ball and Manchester City launched a quick counterattack. Belletti had blocked Manchester City’s attack this time, but because of his support, or hesitation, he was intercepted by David Silva at the front of the restricted area and faced with a single knife. Silva Kenai Belletti chose a worse way to deal with it. He took risks and pulled in the restricted area.
David Silva fell to the ground, and the referee didn’t pay any attention to the penalty and red card.
Cheng Terry didn’t show up.
Just as Chelsea players were arguing with the referee, David Silva had picked up the football and looked at Bridge in the backcourt.
He wanted Bridge to punish the penalty kick.
This is also a reasonable and unreasonable move. Imbrici has never been a penalty shooter in Manchester City.
Bridge shook his head. He wouldn’t take the penalty. He knew what David Silva meant and that if he took the penalty now, no one on the team would have a problem, but he also knew that it would make sense if the penalty was scored. This temptation was great, but let alone his current state of mind. Even in normal times, he was not sure.
David Silva didn’t force Bridge to score 3-1 a minute later.
At this time, Tomlinson couldn’t help but think of the FA Cup a few days ago.
