I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 382 Seal the victory

However, the Chelsea fans, who were more present, were as quiet as chickens at this time. They were directly stunned by Zhao Jinge's world-wide kick.

Just like their coach Mancini.

"What the hell?! Where am I now? Are we really one goal behind?"

This is Mancini's true thoughts at this time.

He really didn't react, or in other words, he had thought about a similar sudden change on the field before the game, but when it really happened, it was difficult to stay calm.

"Damn it happened again. I had a bad feeling when I saw Zhao passing Matic with the ball. It was indeed like this! Shit, really shit!"

A frustrated voice came from the bench. Mancini came back to his senses and turned around to see that it was his own midfielder Mikel who was complaining.

"Stop talking! Just be quiet. We're just one goal behind. We still have time."

Terry, who was also sitting on the bench, saw the head coach turn around and quickly kicked Mikel to tell him to shut up.

The Chelsea captain has completely lost his place in the starting lineup this season

After the start of this season, he only got more than ten opportunities in the league. From the second half of the season, Terry has completely become a substitute.

Terry actually struggled in his heart, but in this difficult situation where the team is lagging behind, he doesn't want the team's morale to deteriorate.

It is a fact that he lost his main position, but it is also a fact that he hopes Chelsea can win.

Mancini just looked at the facial expressions of the players on the bench, then didn't say anything, but quickly discussed it with his assistant.

"They seem to be starting to feel pessimistic?"

"Chelsea has not won against Manchester City in the past two seasons. Last season, they suffered consecutive defeats to Manchester City in the league. They also lost in the first round of this season. These players will be somewhat psychologically afraid of Manchester City. ”

"fear?"

"Maybe not to this extent, but, well, I guess it can be described as this."

Mancini did not rush to make tactical adjustments first because he saw the negative emotions on the faces of Chelsea's substitute players.

This is very fatal, more fatal than a tactical failure!

The words of the assistant coach made him feel the difficulty of the situation even more.

Chelsea's "City Fear" seems to be more serious than he expected.

The game hadn't even reached halftime yet. Because of a conceded goal, their own players were already looking at the outcome of the game pessimistically.

Don't say that only substitute players think so. Who can guarantee that Chelsea's main players don't think so now? !

For the first time, Mancini felt that his job at Chelsea had a long way to go.

This not only requires reshaping the team's tactical system, but also cultivating and introducing a new batch of players who fit their own tactical concepts.

It is also necessary to eliminate the psychological shrinkage of the original players towards the current league hegemon.

Difficult, so damn difficult!

While Mancini was scratching his head and thinking about countermeasures, Guardiola, who had just run wildly for 30 meters, also got his wish and ended the passionate celebration with his disciples.

After giving Zhao Jinge a hard rub on the head and a passionate hug, Guardiola straightened his tie and returned to the coaching bench in good time after being warned by the linesman and the fourth official.

If this goal is scored, it's a morale booster!

Although the morale within the Manchester City team is already high enough, it does not prevent Zhao Jinge from raising the upper limit!

The bottom line task of the first half was successfully completed, and the leading shooter was in such great shape, who could not be pleasantly surprised?

David Silva said a few words of caution, and Zhao Jinge came to his senses and signaled the brothers to keep up their efforts.

"Win the game! After the celebration party, I'll invite you to the city for a second game in the evening!

The coach asked me to explain, as long as it doesn't make the front page of the Sun tomorrow, you can have fun as much as you want tonight! There is only one premise, win! We want to win beautifully and win simply! Winning makes Chelsea lose their temper! "

Zhao Jinge pumped his fist and shouted seductively. Before he finished speaking, Sterling pulled Kyle Walker aside and screamed and clapped.

Everyone, including Stones who had a girlfriend, smiled when they heard Zhao Jinge's promise.

Whether to eat or not is secondary. The most important thing is that Zhao Jinge said that he will explain to Guardiola, then everyone will have enough reason to open up and have fun!

With enough motivation, the Manchester City generals trotted back to their own half noisily, but at this time the Chelsea players on the field were still waiting for the coach's instructions.

To be honest, after Mancini took office, the Chelsea team has changed a lot, and it has gradually gotten better since the start of the new season.

The more we play in the league, the more we feel it. Now we have gone from tenth place in the league last season to second place in the league.

When the results are good, the trust and favor towards the head coach will naturally increase day by day.

At this moment, they also subconsciously hope that Mancini can make the correct tactical adjustments as usual and lead them out of the quagmire of failure that was defeated time and time again by Manchester City.

But when the game restarted, Chelsea's players didn't get the instruction they wanted.

Mancini also has something to say.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the tactics laid out before the game.

They got nearly 60% of the ball possession they wanted. Judging from the data, Chelsea did pose a certain offensive threat before.

As for losing the ball, it was more like a court accident caused by Zhao Jinge's personal outburst.

Guardiola's tactical arrangements will be more effective in the second half, and will play a significant role after Chelsea's main players have suffered a sharp decline in physical fitness.

Isn't it still early? There is still enough energy left to continue to fight with Manchester City and continue to attack Manchester City's defense. So why change the plan?

So apart from telling Moses to actively retreat to help defend and to stop Matic from making defensive choices again, Mancini did not make any moves.

But can you say he did something wrong?

From a head coach's perspective, Mancini was not wrong.

The tactics used by Chelsea in the opening game maintained their own rhythm very well. The penetration work done in Manchester City's half was patient and methodical, and there were many more opportunities than in the previous game against Manchester City.

Diego Costa's three shots are good proof that this Chelsea has really improved a lot in control and offense.

Guardiola doesn't think Mancini is at fault either.

Because he has indeed not yet formed a tactical suppression of Mancini.

Even if he wants to outlast Chelsea's technical players, he will have to wait until the second half.

However, this kind of reasoning is only an ideal situation. Chelsea players are first and foremost human beings with emotions.

And if you have emotions, your sports performance will naturally be affected by psychological activities and mood swings. Cesc Fabregas and Matic, including Pedro, these players may be better and stay calm enough.

But Diego Costa and Hazard became anxious when they saw Zhao Jinge's eye-catching performance again.

Hazard was eager to prove himself in front of Zhao Jinge, so after the restart, he began to frequently raise his hands to ask for the ball, and the way he handled the ball became slightly unreasonable.

As for Diego Costa, it's his old habit again.

Let him now compete with Manchester City's central defender to look for opportunities, but after seeing Zhao Jinge's wonderful performance, he was a little impatient. In the explosive mood, he gradually forgot the repeated warnings given to him by the club's senior management. Becoming more impatient!

There was no need for the coaches on both sides to observe, and the players on both sides of the match reacted immediately.

Seeing Diego Costa's two consecutive rash forwards leading to the loss of the ball, Fabregas's face became ugly.

But it's hard for him to say anything. Diego Costa's status in the locker room is very high.

Captain Terry, who usually can stand out toughly, is not on the court as a substitute at the moment. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Fabregas can only endure it!

But he endured this, and the Manchester City players saw a good opportunity to break the situation further.

When Mancini was shocked and at a loss, Guardiola had already stood on the sidelines and directly signaled Mahrez and Sterling to take appropriate starting positions.

joke!

I was cautious before because I saw that Diego Costa has become a lot more honest during this period. With the threats of him and Hazard, and Chelsea's distribution of ball rights is quite reasonable, he has shown considerable performance in previous games. of danger.

But now Diego Costa is about to blow himself up, so what kind of offensive and defensive drills should I play with you?

Diego Costa last season was a double-edged sword.

Guardiola admitted that he is very capable as a center and has good skills.

But a center whose speed is not top-notch and whose physical explosiveness has declined is really not a big threat to Manchester City's current two central defenders!

At this time, Manchester City's attack came again. Gundogan sent a long pass after stealing in the midfield.

Zhao Jinge felt relieved when he saw the long ball flying straight in the air.

With the familiar rhythm, he didn't need to observe too much. He overwhelmed Matic and directly chose to fly the header. Mahrez, who started from the left, simply rushed the ball with joy!

Azpilicueta, who deliberately opened a defensive position with Mahrez, was directly in trouble.

Although his current performance is good, when he encounters a fast winger of Mahrez's level and doesn't commit a foul at the beginning, he is really at a loss.

In particular, Manchester City still fought back.

Chelsea had already invested a lot of manpower in midfield control, but now Manchester City swept through the center and played sideline hedges, directly breaking up Chelsea's defense!

Zhao Jinge and Sterling also followed Mahrez and started to advance forward. Looking down from a high altitude, the three of them were like three sharp knives thrust straight into the heart of Chelsea, causing Chelsea's backcourt defense to become a chicken flying dog. Jump.

Gary Cahill followed Sterling desperately and then retreated to chase. Azpilicueta once again had to go to the wing to keep an eye on Mahrez to prevent Mahrez from cutting inside.

So after Zhao Jinge successfully got rid of Cesc Fabregas, only David Luiz was left in front of him.

The other Chelsea players were active in returning to defense, but the distance was still quite far away. For a while, they would not be able to form a double-team defense against the Manchester City trident.

You know, what stands out about Manchester City's counterattack is its speed and strong personal ability.

Mahrez would not slow down and would either cut in decisively or cross directly as soon as he reached the appropriate area. Zhao Jinge and Sterling knew what was going on, so they had no psychological burden and followed directly towards Chelsea's penalty area. !

This kind of counterattack tests the tacit understanding between the three people. After all, the opportunity is fleeting, and if you can't seize it, it will only be a wasted trip.

But the good thing is that the connection between Mahrez and Zhao Jinge is completely fine.

Although Sterling still lacks some coordination with the two of them, he plays on the right wing!

There is Zhao Jinge in the middle, who is both the main attack point and the transfer station. With his transition, the cooperation between Mahrez and Sterling is not a big problem.

Chelsea's defensive players obviously know this.

For example, David Luiz did not consider the threat of Sterling at the back point this time. His defensive focus was 100% on Zhao Jinge.

And with the lesson learned from the previous goal, David Luiz did not dare to let go of Zhao Jinge this time, and got close to Zhao Jinge before he entered the penalty area.

The two soon fought head-on.

Zhao Jinge's arrogant push towards David Luiz could not be completely stopped, but at least it played a delaying role.

At this moment, Mahrez has accelerated past Azpilicueta for the second time, caught up with the football that was about to leave the baseline, and then passed the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area!

It looked like an inverted triangle pass in the air. Sterling and Zhao Jinge both burst forward immediately, causing countless viewers to hold their breath!

Zhao Jinge felt David Luiz's determination to defend himself, and the confrontation and collision between muscles also greatly hindered him in the process of advancing.

But it was this feeling of direct confrontation that made every cell in his body seem to be excited and jumping!

The more tenaciously the opponent resists, the more he can feel the explosive power from the excitement!

"Go away!"

Another new force emerging from his body allowed Zhao Jinge to make moves that shocked fans around the world!

He's dragging David Luiz around like this!

Completed the fight for the top!

David Luiz roared angrily, but he couldn't withstand Zhao Jinge's brutal impact like a wild beast!

Azpilicueta was stunned on the sidelines, his eyes widened, and he completely forgot that he should double-team Zhao Jinge for David Luiz.

Sterling opened his mouth wide, shock filling his pupils and face, looking funny and funny.

Matic, who was chasing after him, shrank his neck with trembling heart, as if he saw a monster!

At this moment, countless die-hard Manchester City fans behind the Chelsea goal had already shown ferocious expressions of excitement, and followed Zhao Jinge's rough and arrogant fighting for the top. They took off their knees and jumped!

This ball is extremely strong!

Zhao Jinge couldn't jump very high. There was a strong man hanging on his body. No matter how explosive he was, he couldn't completely break away from gravity.

However, Zhao Jinge accurately judged the landing point of the football and relied on this huge force to rush to the top. Zhao Jinge still delivered a powerful close-range headbutt!

Courtois was completely confused when he saw such a scene!

Whether it was that he was frightened or that his body failed to react in a short period of time, he just waved his arm subconsciously and could not stop the ball from crossing the line and hitting the net!

When the football actually hit the net, the Manchester City fans in the visiting team's stands instantly burst into crazy and terrifying cheers that were almost roaring!

The entire Stamford Bridge stadium seemed to be shaken by it!
