Green Journey

Chapter 411 It's over!It is estimated that there will be retribution!

During the intermission, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun immediately began to replay the first half of the game as soon as the camera returned to the live broadcast room after the commercial break.

After analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Manchester City and Chelsea in terms of tactics and various statistics in the first half, Zhang Lu was a little puzzled and said: "From seeing Chelsea's starting lineup to the end of the first half, I have always had doubts."

"What doubts?" Zhan Jun asked with a smile.

"That's why Conte went to Cesc Fabregas and not to the Oscars!"

After finishing the words, Zhang Lu continued: "Look, Oscar's running and defensive enthusiasm are obvious to all. Oscar under Mourinho took away Mata's main position by virtue of this."

"Facing the oppression of Manchester City's midfield today, if it is Oscar, although it cannot make up for the hidden danger of Matic's injury, compared with Cesc Fabregas, Oscar's first start can obviously reduce Chelsea's defensive burden."

"In the first half, Cesc Fabregas really had no sense of presence." Zhan Jun answered with a smile, "I didn't see him in the camera at all."

"So far in the new season, counting today, Cesc Fabregas has only started 3 times."

"The Carabao Cup away game against Leicester City was his best game, then he was substituted in less than 55 minutes against Arsenal, Chelsea also lost 0-3, and then he played consecutively. It's all difficult."

"So if Conte didn't just replace him at half-time, there must be some purpose."

After finishing the sentence, Zhang Lu focused on Manchester City again, saying: "For Manchester City, Guardiola's continuous on-the-spot adjustments today have quickly received the desired results."

"Especially in the last 20 minutes of the first half, the adjustment of attacking Chelsea's left wing was even more miraculous. It immediately abolished the left attack that Conte had hoped for, and Hazard, who was active, was also suppressed."

"In the first half, Chu Zheng and De Bruyne were almost nailed to Chelsea's left kick, penetration, cross, bottom inverted triangle return, triangle pass and other offensive methods one by one, focusing on Cahill. Playing with Alonso and Fabregas."

"Guardiola clearly knows where Conte's fate lies."

Zhan Jun nodded and said: "Alonso is actually a traditional full-back. It stands to reason that Gua Shuai should focus on Moses' side, because Moses is a winger and his defensive ability is not strong."

"But Guashuai chose Chelsea's left side as the main attack direction, but it is because Cahill and Alonso are obviously at a disadvantage compared with Manchester City players in terms of speed and foot frequency..."

Not long after, players from both sides appeared in the player tunnel camera.

In a blink of an eye, referee Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to start the second half.

At half-time, there were no changes in Manchester City or Chelsea.

But after the start of the second half, Chelsea's tactical adjustments during the intermission came to the fore.

Compared with the first half, the Chelsea formation, which was one goal behind, pressed out, intending to control the initiative, and at the same time used high-intensity high-position pressure to deal with Manchester City.

On the other hand, Manchester City led by one goal. After the start of the game, the rhythm was slow, and it was obvious that Guardiola had told the players during the intermission.

Guardiola is very wise in actively slowing down the pace of the game.

Because of their physical reserves, Manchester City can't beat Chelsea.

Chelsea have no European games this year, so they are almost waiting for work when they play against a team like Manchester City that has a European mission.

But as the game time passed, many people found that after Chelsea changed their tactical strategy in the second half, the situation became more dangerous.

In the 50th minute of the game, Costa pushed forward with the ball and dribbled the ball to the outside of Manchester City's penalty area. After attracting Manchester City's defensive center of gravity to the left rib area at the top of the arc, Costa suddenly kicked back and braked suddenly, then turned around and made a move. Foot lateral long pass transfer.

But Stones, who was on the inside behind him all the way back from the defense, had long been prepared.

Stones turned around in time, stepped and stretched his feet, causing the ball to deviate from the line Costa wanted, and did not find Moses in the right rib area at the top of the arc.

The ball landed at the front of the top of the arc in the middle, and after bouncing off the ground, it continued to jump to the ribs in the right half.

Sane, who retreated to the top of the arc, quickly turned around and started forward, stopping the ball.

But at this time Fabregas also quickly blocked in front of him.

Chu Zheng was near the two of them. Seeing that Sane was being blocked, he quickly moved sideways.

Sane saw Chu Zheng coming to his right, without any hesitation, he knocked the ball across with his left foot, and then quickly moved forward.

Chu Zheng took the ball, and Kanter approached quickly, but he didn't stop the ball, but hit the ball to the left and knocked it back in front of Sane, avoiding Kanter's attack.

The two broke through Chelsea's interception in the middle with such a simple one-two pass, exposing the weaknesses of Conte's formation at a glance.

After successfully getting rid of Cesc Fabregas, Sane immediately started to speed up.

But before the arc of the middle circle in the middle, Azpilicueta, who broke away from Chelsea's retreated defense line, stepped up uncharacteristically in an attempt to delay Manchester City's counterattack.

In the Manchester City team, when it comes to starting speed and short-term acceleration ability, Chu Zheng is the undisputed absolute number one.

But if it comes to speed, then Chu Zheng has given up the number one position in the team.

Even Chu Zheng couldn't catch up with Sane's speed.

At this time, on the right side of Sane, in the right rib area of ​​​​the middle circle, De Bruyne has followed up in time.

But in the face of Azpilicueta blocked on the arc in the middle circle on the left, Sane did not pass, but turned to the right, eating Azpilicueta raw with speed in the blink of an eye.

Crossing the center line and entering the middle circle of Chelsea's half, with Aguero and De Bruyne on the left and right, Manchester City formed a 3-on-2 situation against Chelsea.

Conte on the sidelines was speechless watching this scene, he was a little dissatisfied with Azpilicueta's choice.

It is extremely unwise, even stupid, in Conte's view, to block people knowing that these little dwarfs in Manchester City are hitting extremely fast.

On the field, Aguero ran diagonally from the center to the left rib area, coupled with De Bruyne who went straight forward along the right rib, a huge space was withdrawn between David Luiz and Cahill.

At the front of the arc, Cahill quickly gave up De Bruyne and ran over to block the gap in front of Sane.

He knew exactly what would happen when he came here, but at this moment he had no choice.

Sure enough, as soon as Cahill moved laterally in front of Sane to block the gap, Sane decisively scored the ball to the front right.

In the area outside the upper right corner of Chelsea's small penalty area, De Bruyne stopped the ball with his right foot, then took advantage of no one around him to interfere, quickly adjusted his posture, and then shot with his right foot.

"oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing Courtois stretch out his long legs to block De Bruyne's shot from the far corner, the Etihad Stadium suddenly burst into loud annoyance!

"De Bruyne handled this ball a little hastily." Zhan Jun shook his head and regretted.

"Yes!" Zhang Lu nodded. "Sane is on his left side. As long as he hits the ball horizontally, Sane can directly push the ball. Courtois can only surrender."

On the field, seeing the ball missed, the corner of Chu Zheng's mouth twitched, which was very disrespectful to De Bruyne.

But Chu Zheng can also understand.

If it was him, man, he would kick the ball directly into Courtois' crotch, and it would be that kind of explosive shot.

Sane was very depressed, but he didn't dare to show his resentment.

There is no way, who made him a small shrimp in the Manchester City team, and he dare not mess with old guns like De Bruyne.

On the sidelines, Guardiola was so angry that he held his head in his hands and jumped around in a circle, while Conte next to him had an expression of surviving a catastrophe.

At this moment, Conte's heart was anxious like never before, and he felt that he was on a hot iron pan.

Conte looked back at William, who had just warmed up on the bench, and quickly looked away. He decided to wait.

Soon the picture of Conte waiting came.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Cesc Fabregas took the ball in the middle circle area of ​​his own half, and then quickly moved laterally to his right rib.

After Azpilicueta stopped the ball, he quickly passed forward to Moses who retreated to the side to get the ball.

On the wing near the center line, Moses took the ball with his back, and Sane was very close behind him.

But at the moment of touching the ball, Moses stopped the ball directly to the right with the right outer instep, and then turned around and got rid of Sane in one go.

When Moses entered the rib area, Costa in the middle had already leaned in, directly drilling into the rib space opened between Stones and Kolarov.

When Moses saw it, he made a precise through pass, piercing Manchester City's defense in an instant.

Fortunately, Stones' turn and speed were not slow, and he leaned over in time. In the right area of ​​the penalty area, Costa directly blocked Costa's left foot the moment he shot.

Costa was forced to be helpless, instead of continuing to dribble down the bottom, he shot directly with his right foot into the near corner of the goal.

But a hasty kick caused the ball to hit the right side of the goal.

Conte was very excited to see this scene, which is why he let the team press in the second half.

Where are Manchester City's weaknesses, Conte is actually very clear.

Just in Manchester City's defense line with a huge difference in age structure, especially Kolarov who played as a central defender today, this is Guardiola's Achilles heel and Manchester City's goal.

Seeing that the team's offense has improved compared to the first half, Conte's anxious heart calmed down a little.

But before Conte's hanging heart fell behind his stomach, Manchester City gave him two consecutive thrilling gifts.

In the 58th minute of the game, Manchester City got a throw-in from the left side of the frontcourt.

Sane bent over to pick up the ball and quickly threw it at Chu Zheng who was running from the upper left corner of the penalty area.

At the same time, Chu Zheng's left rear and right rear, Azpilicueta and Fabregas also quickly approached.

Seeing that Chelsea players were all around, Chu Zheng gave up the idea of ​​taking the ball, hit the ball back against Sane, and then ran towards the baseline.

Sane knew very well that Chu Zheng didn't intend to ask for the ball when he ran. This was to cover him up and confuse the Chelsea players.

So he also kept the ball, risking the ball from the center of Fabregas and Pedro who attracted attention to the rib area.

Immediately Gundogan and Kanter rushed to the ball at the same time.

Soon Gundogan and Kanter decided the winner. Kanter took the lead and touched the ball first. He directly used a right-to-left feint to drive away Gundogan and lead him to the top of the arc in the middle.

Seeing De Bruyne and Fernandinho cut off the nearby forward points one by one, Kanter, who did not have much confidence in his long pass, chose to cross the top of the arc to the right rib.

However, before the ball rolled to Alonso, Navas rushed to him.

No way, even the line of the big foot to the frontcourt to clear the siege was blocked, Alonso had to turn around to protect the ball, and then pass back towards the penalty spot.

When the ball rolls to the penalty spot, the problem comes.

Courtois, who was on the attack, began to hesitate when he saw Cahill rushing to the ball.

Cahill also thought Courtois would have the ball.

The two gave in to each other in such a way that Aguero, who started the lateral movement from the left side of the penalty area, picked up a straight shot.

Aguero drilled from between the two and led the ball directly.

On the sidelines, Guardiola saw this scene, and his eyes instantly showed ecstasy.

At this time, De Bruyne on the field is on the right free throw arc. As long as Aguero passes the ball, then with De Bruyne's shooting skills, 100% will be a beautiful long-range goal.

However, in the next second, Guardiola was dumbfounded, and Conte next to him once again realized what it means to be ups and downs.

On the field, Aguero did not pass the ball to De Bruyne, but took the ball and took advantage of the arc, came to the upper right corner of the small penalty area, and pushed the goal directly.

However, Cahill is very experienced and quickly appeared in the small penalty area near the front of the post and kicked the ball directly into the stands.

"fool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Seeing this thrilling scene, short and violent exclamations broke out again at the Etihad Stadium!
On the sidelines, Guardiola hugged the sides of his head with his hands, then swung his hands down and turned around in a circle, making people feel like he was about to explode.

Next to him, Conte blushed like a monkey's ass, and was so angry!

"Fake!!!"

"Concentrate on me!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Conte was really terrified this time, wishing he could pick up a knife and chop up the two bastards who gave in to each other just now.

"What a pity!!!"

"Yes!!!"

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu and Zhan Jun also had regretful expressions on their faces.

"Aguero is a bit independent on this ball, too independent!" Zhang Lu directly criticized Aguero, "He had two chances to pass the ball to De Bruyne, but he didn't. When he shot just now, De Bruyne Nei has already run to his left back, as long as the ball is passed, it is almost an empty goal."

Zhan Jun nodded, expressing his agreement, and said: "Aguero has not scored a goal for a long time today, and his mentality is also a little anxious."

On the court, seeing the ball missed, De Bruyne blushed with anger.

He forcibly held back the thought of questioning, and turned all his resentment into depression on his face.

Chu Zheng was also helpless.

Today they got chances on the court, which is actually not rare, but they always missed them perfectly for various reasons.

Chu Zheng felt that they would not be far away from retribution if they continued to waste opportunities like this.

"William!!!!!!!"

"William!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Come to me!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Standing on the sidelines and watching silently for a while, Conte suddenly turned around and walked back to the coach's bench, calling William directly to him.

However, before he finished explaining his tactics, Manchester City's counterattack from the right came again.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Fernandinho was stalked by Hazard on the right outside his own penalty area.

However, the physical confrontation ability of the two is completely out of proportion. Fernandinho, who is protecting the ball with his back, uses his body to push Hazard away, then turns around, and makes a long pass with his right foot.

The ball landed on the center line on the right of Manchester City.

Aguero leans on David Silva behind him.

But Aguero is very smart, he knows that the first landing point is out of reach.

So at the moment the ball fell, he suddenly ran forward, turned around and faced David Luiz, ready to grab the second spot.

As a result, there is no need to grab at all.

David Luiz was distracted by Aguero's actions, causing the ball to miss and the ball bounced forward towards Aguero.

After Aguero got the ball, he brought it back with his back, grabbed Kanter and David Luiz and pinched him back and forth, and quickly crossed the ribs.

Chu Zheng was on the center line. Seeing the ball being passed to Progress Guoan, he quickly turned around and started to go forward.

In the next second, Jing Duoan quickly pushed the ball in front of Chu Zheng without stopping the ball.

For a while, Chelsea's midfield defense was once again penetrated by Manchester City's consecutive touches.

On the right rib, Chu Zheng started with the ball, and his acceleration ability made him stand out.

Seeing that De Bruyne, who was four or five meters away in front of him, had started to pull towards the center, and Navas also came up from the right side, Chu Zheng immediately knew how to organize the attack.

This time Azpilicue Taqueta was not taken away by De Bruyne at the first time, but slightly opened the distance with Cahill, keeping the distance with De Bruyne who ran to the top of the arc, and teamed up Cahill blocked his ribs tightly.

Chu Zheng, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, showed a smile in his eyes, and then suddenly his left foot split the ball to the right.

In front of the upper right corner of the penalty area, Navas grasped Chu Zheng's intention to pass the ball to him when he took the ball. He brought the ball into Chelsea's penalty area and crossed it with his right foot.

The ball bounced between Courtois and Azpilicueta from the front point, unbiased, and went straight to De Bruyne in the small penalty area.

Facing the incoming ball, De Bruyne, who was extremely excited today, outflanked the ball and stretched out his left foot to shoot.

However, in the next moment, a scene of sudden death appeared.

After the ball was rubbed by De Bruyne, it flew up obliquely, and then duang was mounted on the crossbar, and then bounced straight up and high, crossing the baseline, without even giving Manchester City a chance to make a supplementary shot.

"Ouch, hit on the beam!!!!!!"

"De Bruyne, almost rewritten the score to 3-1!"

In the LeTV live broadcast room, Zhang Lu looked at Conte in the live broadcast. He really couldn't understand why Conte still let Fabregas on the court.

Looking at the opening period of the second half, Chelsea's left was sieved.

On the court, Chu Zheng was really dumbfounded this time. He really didn't expect that De Bruyne would miss such an empty goal.

On the sidelines, Guardiola saw the ball missed, turned his back in an instant, covered his forehead with his hands and knelt down, and was so angry that he didn't let go for a long time.

"William!!!!"

"William!!!!!!!!!"

Next to him, Conte was so scared that his face turned pale, and he called William loudly.

Can't wait anymore, Conte knows very well that if Manchester City continue to play like this, they are dead, and his last preparation will not be used.

His insistence on keeping Cesc Fabregas on the pitch today will also be rendered meaningless.

On the field, after De Bruyne missed a goal, he lay on the edge of the net outside the baseline, thumping his hands and feet in anger.

When Chu Zheng saw De Bruyne's cute and cute venting action of swimming in dry land, he burst out laughing.

But this is the professional game, and sometimes just the slightest mistake in the touch position can lead to a huge mistake.

You want to have enough time to adjust, which is really a luxury in fast-paced professional games.

The only thing players can do is to let the body remember various technical movements, so as to seize the fleeting opportunities in the game.

But even then, there's no guarantee you'll grab the opportunity when it presents itself.

And this is the biggest charm of football, everything about it is full of unknowns.

The whistle for the end of the game does not sound, you never know what bizarre scene will appear next.

　Happy Labor day!
