I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 404 Dilemma!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Zhao Jinge received a pass from Cancelo on the left side of the frontcourt, dribbled one step towards the center and then took the initiative to block Azpilicueta from the side. Moses came to press, and Zhao Jinge crossed the ball. Cross the middle zone.

After the ball was released, he quickly moved forward. De Bruyne sent a direct pass to Dzeko's feet. However, when Dzeko tried to pass the ball to Zhao Jinge, his action was too obvious. David Luiz stretched his legs to block the ball.

Zhao Jinge's movement to cut inside suddenly stopped, and he quickly turned back to defend and sweep. The first target he marked was Moses.

Seeing Matic pass the ball diagonally to the left side of the frontcourt, Zhao Jinge quickly returned to the backcourt to assist Cancelo in restricting Pedro.

Hazard was directly knocked to the ground by Gundogan when he cut in from the left side of the frontcourt. The referee showed Gundogan a yellow card.

Kolarov did not appear in the frontcourt this time, but he did go up and has not come back.

Chelsea received a free kick on the left side of the frontcourt.

Zhao Jinge did not set up a wall, but kept an eye on Matic in the middle who might be able to connect.

Many Chelsea players were preparing to grab points in the penalty area.

Mahrez, Zhao Jinge, and De Bruyne blocked Chelsea's contact point in front of the penalty area. Unless Fabregas passed the ball back, the only option was to drop the ball into the penalty area or directly attack the goal.

At the moment Fabregas took a run-up, the defensive players in Manchester City's penalty area ran uniformly outside the penalty area.

When Fabregas' pass fell into the penalty area, Diego Costa, Hazard, Moses, David Luiz, including Pedro who entered the penalty area from the right, were all offside!

Moses stopped the ball in the penalty area, and Hazard blasted the ball into the Manchester City goal from the side.

But the linesman has raised his flag!

You guys are like a family when you are offside, and Manchester City is like a family when they are offside.

Mancini frowned slightly, not surprised by Guardiola's set-piece tactic of causing offside.

But when the score is behind, Manchester City can actually maintain such a tacit and consistent action.

What does this mean?

It shows that Manchester City's players are focused and serious without any panic!

Mancini nodded. Manchester City's profound foundation gained from the past two years of fighting in the West is indeed not something that this Chelsea team can catch up with in a short time.

It would be no fun if you were so panicked that you pissed your pants and shit your pants when you were behind.

At the end of half-time, Manchester City lost to Chelsea 0 to 1!

At this time, the Manchester City fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium were a little flustered, while the Chelsea fans were already starting to feel complacent.

After two consecutive years of failure, are Chelsea finally going to win? !

Can a team finally break Manchester City's two-year dominance of the championship?

Back in the locker room, Guardiola did not make any adjustments to his tactics. After all, the tactical adjustments to prevent falling behind had been arranged for the players before the game.

There is no ingenious tactical design.

Strengthen the offense, increase the aggressiveness of the defense, and speed up both offense and defense!

Compared with passive defense and trying to compress the space and control the situation as much as possible to avoid giving too many set pieces to the opponent when it is time to counterattack, Manchester City cannot just forget about defense all of a sudden. That would be the same as surrendering and handing the championship to the opponent. There is no difference.

Guardiola re-emphasized the tactical points and then boosted the team's morale.

The Manchester City generals also reminded each other what they should pay attention to in offense and defense. When attacking, they should run more to tear up the defense line, find openings, and pass as many passes as possible to achieve success. When defending, they should judge the situation calmly and quickly. If the situation is not good, they should foul decisively, etc. wait.

Zhao Jinge, who was physically exhausted more than usual, drank half a bottle of water, then drank no more, took a sip, rinsed his mouth, spit it out, and repeatedly used the remaining half bottle of water.

Drinking too much water can easily affect your physical condition. Gargling your mouth is cheating your nerves and giving you the satisfaction of drinking water.

The players all know what to do. They are all veterans who have experienced a lot of games. No one is discouraged and no one is demoralized.

They were even more motivated than at the beginning, and the pressure turned into motivation at this moment!

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again.

The cheers at Wembley Stadium were magnificent and shocking!

Manchester City fans were cheering for the team like crazy, and flags were always flying in every corner of the stands!

As Chelsea consciously took the initiative to seize counterattack opportunities, the scene turned into a complete tug-of-war.

In the 49th minute of the game, Zhao Jinge controlled the ball on the left side of the frontcourt to face Azpilicueta. When the opponent cautiously attacked, he decisively knocked the ball back with his heel.

As Chelsea consciously took the initiative to seize counterattack opportunities, the situation changed from unilateral pressure to a tug-of-war.

In the 51st minute of the game, Zhao Jinge controlled the ball on the left side of the frontcourt to face Azpilicueta. When the opponent cautiously attacked, he decisively knocked the ball back with his heel.

He heard Cancelo's voice behind him.

After the ball was released, he quickly cut inside, and Cancelo blocked Pedro from behind and passed the ball to the center of the frontcourt.

De Bruyne passed the ball diagonally to Zhao Jinge's running path.

Moses stood in front of him, and Zhao Jinge also kicked the ball and passed it diagonally.

Dzeko also shot the ball in the middle of the penalty area.

Knock horizontally!

Mahrez quickly cut inside and then stopped and cut into the right rib of the penalty area. When Marcos Alonso came to harass and Matic chased behind him, Mahrez had to use his right foot to finish the shot!

The football rolled towards Chelsea's goal, but it did not create a threat. The angle was too right.

Goalkeeper Courtois easily confiscated the ball.

Chelsea's attack started simple and fast.

In the 54th minute of the game, Yaya Toure completed a tackle on Fabregas from behind during a crazy sweep. Fabregas then fell to the ground, but the referee made no comment.

After stealing the ball, Manchester City made a fast break. Before Zhao Jinge could get in place, Mahrez was cutting in and dribbling, but Matic destroyed the ball.

Manchester City's midfielder and frontcourt returned to the backcourt at full speed. Pedro had just received the ball and passed Cancelo. Zhao Jinge, who was returning to defense, broke the ball out of the baseline with a shovel.

Zhao Jinge, who stood up and adjusted his breathing rhythm, looked extremely determined. He worked hard, and he worked hard from the beginning, but he was not reckless.

Mancini's face was once again serious on the sidelines. Even as the Chelsea coach, he admired Zhao Jinge's performance from the bottom of his heart!

Just looking at his offensive and defensive performance today, if Manchester City had eleven Zhao Jinge, Manchester City would definitely be the strongest team in the world!

The fighting spirit and spirit he showed through his actions have eclipsed 99% of the players in the Premier League. It is a pity that when I was coaching Manchester City, I did not encounter such a talented player.

In the 60th minute of the game, when De Bruyne, Zhao Jinge, and Dzeko hit the wall with consecutive short passes in the middle of the frontcourt to break down Chelsea's midfield defense, Zhao Jinge took the lead and crossed the ball when Azpilicueta gritted his teeth and made a shovel. Knocked on the right side, then bypassed Azpilicueta and quickly penetrated into the left flank of Chelsea's penalty area.

After Mahrez stopped the ball in the right area in front of the penalty area, he stood directly on the spot and sent a half-high ball diagonally.

The football flew past Gary Cahill. It looked like a shot, but it was not fast enough and the angle was slightly wide!

Zhao Jinge quickly followed up and grabbed a shovel shot!

But David Luiz also made a tackle when Zhao Jinge was about to touch the ball and complete the shot.

David Luiz touches the ball first with his toe inside!

The football changed slightly and flew past 20 centimeters in front of Zhao Jinge's feet, sliding out of the baseline!

Zhao Jinge fell in front of the baseline after a shovel shot. He covered his face with his hands and rubbed his face vigorously. He quickly got up and prepared to fight for the corner kick.

David Lewis looked at Zhao Jinge with solemn eyes.

During the set kick, David Luiz was closely guarding Zhao Jinge.

Two minutes later, when Manchester City's offensive came back, Chelsea's defense tightened in the middle, and De Bruyne's pass was directly intercepted by Matic.

Moses made a long pass from the backcourt to the right side of the frontcourt.

Pedro started from the midfield, successfully connected from the wing and then dribbled in. Before Cancelo got close, he made a decisive diagonal pass and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Yaya Toure had no time to help defend to the right, and Gundogan was passed by Hazard's cross-cut with a stop!

Maybe it's because Gundogan has a yellow card and he doesn't dare to foul!

Hazard crossed to the middle of the penalty area and shot. Otamendi stepped forward to block the opponent's shooting angle.

However, when Hazard dropped his right foot, he knocked the ball into the penalty area.

During Diego Costa's movement, he blocked Kompany behind him and took a shot at the moment he received the ball!

Otamendi went around to the front of Diego Costa and directly blocked it with a shovel.

When the man landed and made a tackle, Otamendi saw Diego Costa smashing the ball at his feet and changing direction!

Fake cum and real buckle!

Finished!

After Diego Costa dunked Otamendi's tackle, he faced goalkeeper Joe Hart's attack alone. He was calm and even very cold and hit a fatal blow with his left foot.

The football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal. Joe Hart made the save immediately, but the angle was too tricky!

If you can't exert your full strength, you won't be able to pounce at all! The football flew into the goal against the inside of the right goal post!

Diego Costa turned around and spread his arms flat, ran towards the corner flag area with an expressionless face, jumped up and punched out, roared wildly and landed with a proud look on his face!

It seems to be a silent announcement to Manchester City fans:

Today's Chelsea King is back!

Mancini smiled brightly, and while applauding Diego Costa, he glanced at Zhao Jinge, who was silently walking towards the center circle.

Young man, you are outstanding, but it is a pity that today we met a Chelsea team that was united and desperately wanted to win!

You've earned respect and admiration, but that's not enough to win today's championship!

After seeing Diego Costa's goal, many Manchester City fans in the stands of Wembley Stadium collapsed!

Diego Costa's goal was enough to break their defense!

Two goals behind, Manchester City is in a real desperate situation!

"Diego Costa! Pushed the goal! Chelsea counterattacked and scored another victory!"

Manchester City trailed Chelsea 2-0 at Wembley Stadium!

When Manchester City had to step up their offense in order to equalize the score, Chelsea began to focus on fast breaks and seizing counterattack opportunities!

Their adjustments were very wise and should have been planned before the game.

When Gary Cahill scored with a header, the situation was completely reversed, and Chelsea's second goal came as expected!

Simple cooperation, a reflection of the player's personal ability, Hazard's wonderful pass, Diego Costa leisurely dunked Otamendi in the Manchester City penalty area, and then scored his fourth goal of the season. A goal in the FA Cup will most likely be the most important and most valuable goal!

Manchester City's performance was actually very good. The first goal they conceded was a surprise attack under Chelsea's strong pressure, but the second goal they conceded was after a full-scale attack. When the defense faced Chelsea's sharp counterattack, it was incompetent due to insufficient defense.

Two goals behind, with less than 30 minutes left in the game. Even though Manchester City had threatened in attack before, it did not turn it into an excellent opportunity. The shot under ordinary opportunities did not test Courtois.

The Manchester City fans in the stands lowered their proud heads and covered their faces with their hands.

Blue Moon fans will definitely think that if Manchester City's main defense was here today, their defense would definitely not have given Chelsea so many opportunities. Maybe they are in the lead now!

But fate is so unpredictable. I won't say that Manchester City has no chance. Their performance this season and this game are worthy of respect.

To conclude prematurely is a lack of respect for them! This team already commands respect.

But in less than thirty minutes, there was a gap of two goals. You can imagine how difficult it would be for Manchester City to complete a big comeback against a Chelsea team that has regained the spirit of the Blues!

But if they can do it, it will definitely be the most exciting game among all the FA Cup games this season! "

Not to mention the Manchester City fans in the stands, Guardiola almost collapsed!

The Manchester City coach secretly gritted his teeth and suppressed the ups and downs of regret in his heart. He stepped forward and leaned on the field to clap his hands to the players and shouted words of encouragement.

There is nothing to be done. Manchester City's defense did not perform well today, and the midfielder did not do a good job in protecting the defense.

If it weren't for the rotation for the Champions League final, if Kante hadn't just returned from injury and wanted him to take more rest, Manchester City would never have been in such a situation. Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now!

Although Manchester City still has cards to play, they don't have any more tricks to play. Guardiola can't use all the substitutions on the defense when trailing by two goals!

Go forward again?

Now that the defense is not holding up, if we weaken the defense again, is it faster to bet on Manchester City scoring two goals or conceding a third?

It’s really a frustrating dilemma!

Zhao Jinge, who was standing in the center circle preparing to kick off the ball, didn't realize that he was clenching his fists. His nails, which had been trimmed by Tang Mo just last night, almost pierced into the flesh of his palms! The fist is shaking slightly.

Not willing to give in, a very simple emotion, just not willing to give in!

One goal lost, two goals lost, the situation is stronger than the person!

Chelsea seemed to be pressing his neck to make him admit defeat: admit it! Given the current situation, don't even think about turning the tide!

Wouldn't it be better to admit defeat early and prepare for the Champions League final? !

However, I just don’t want to give in! Why can't I have them all? !

Why? ! Zhao Jinge's eyes became cold, as if there were flames burning in them!
