The Chelsea fans who came with the team were instantly excited.
The flags also flew up.
Costa, a beautiful man, rushed out of the stadium and slid on his knees.
Chelsea tied the newly promoted Swansea 2:2 at home in the first game.
The team is under great pressure.
If they collapse and lose in this away game against Etihad, the team may fall into a crisis of confidence.
At the critical moment, Costa scored the first goal.
Hazard's breakthrough and passing and shooting ability can indeed be called the king of London.
Mourinho clenched his fist and roared. This game means a lot to him.
The Premier League reunion with Guardiola and the locker room scandal that started in the second half of last season made the famous coach feel a lot of pressure.
This is also Mourinho's consistent weakness. The team he coached was mediocre in the first year, soared in the second year, and had problems in the locker room in the third year. The performance declined and he was forced to leave the team.
The cycle goes on and on, and the crux has always existed.
Costa's goal made Mourinho's nerves relax a little.
Guardiola had a blank expression.
The defense has big problems.
As expected, the players in the new formation still don't have enough tacit understanding.
Except for Aguero, Gundogan, and Joe Hart, everyone's positioning and defense have more or less some problems.
Especially David Silva and Zhao Yi, the two of them stayed in the middle, occupying the opponent's space.
It prevented the two from fully playing to their due level.
But Guardiola firmly believes in his own ideas and choices. Maybe there are problems now, but as long as the running-in period is over, this lineup will surely scare all teams.
It's just a little bit of pain period.
"Guardiola's new formation is not very effective. The back line has some serious problems. The front court is too crowded, which makes several talented players feel lost... Guardiola may have to make some adjustments to the lineup."Zhan Lu analyzed.
And the fans who were pessimistic about Manchester City were very happy.
"Manchester City is really good at bullying weak teams!"
"When facing a strong team, these players won’t be able to play football!"
"Zhao Fei pulled, De Bruyne pulled, Sterling pulled, Aguero was like a dizzy fly, haha……"
"What’s the point of Manchester City having ball possession if they can’t score goals?"
"Chelsea only needs 30 percent ball possession to defeat Manchester City!"
"Mourinho is indeed Guardiola's nemesis!"
"Kick out Manchester City!"
The fans at the Etihad Stadium were not disappointed, they continued to wave flags to cheer for their team.
And the Manchester City players were still confident and in high spirits.
Falling behind by one goal is a common thing on the court.
The ball was kicked off from the center circle, and it was still Gundogan who organized the game.
Unlike the traditional defensive midfielder, Gundogan's organization and passing vision enable him to provide very good offensive firepower.
This is also what Guardiola likes most about him.
Manchester City still focused on controlling the ball and surrounded Chelsea's half.
Because Manchester City has too many people in the frontcourt, there are a large number of passing points and receiving points.
And Chelsea's defense is also very compact as before.
Aguero was trapped in the penalty area and had few opportunities.
Fernandinho and Zhao Yi's two long shots from the outside did not open a gap.
After Chelsea stabilized the rhythm again, they began to move forward slowly.
It was still Fabregas. Facing Zhao Yi, he used the old method and prepared to go first. After the breakthrough, he looked at the pass or continued to carry the ball forward.
Fabregas, who was already quite grateful, let his guard down this time.
After the same moving center again, Zhao Yi was quick this time, and he stretched out his left foot and poked!
The football was directly out of Fabregas' control.
Fabregas was shocked and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yi's arm to prevent him from starting.
It didn't matter if he was called for a foul. It was very dangerous for him to lose the ball in the position of a defensive midfielder!
Unfortunately, as a forward, Zhao Yi had sufficient experience in struggling with defenders. As soon as Fabregas stretched out his hand, Zhao Yi slapped it away.
Fabregas fell directly to the ground and wailed.
He had lost his position, and now he could only lie!
The referee was concentrating and stretched his neck to stare at the two of them.
No way?
He fell down?
This is the Premier League, even on a wild field, you can't blow the whistle!
Zhao Yi would not stop until he heard the whistle. He rushed over and strode forward with the ball.
"Fabregas, who had played very calmly before, made a very, very serious mistake this time!
In this position, the center gate was wide open!"
Matic hurriedly chased back to make up for the position, and Zhao Yi rushed directly towards Terry with the ball.
Terry retreated to the front to meet Zhao Yi's possible breakthrough.
Zhao Yi pushed with the outside of his foot, and Terry quickly moved to his left, but Zhao Yi feinted and pulled the ball back with a fake move.
Zhao Yi rushed to the left quickly, and Terry forced his center of gravity to change.
Unfortunately, he is no longer as brave as he used to be, and his body coordination is much worse.
After moving his center of gravity twice, he was already a little stiff.
Zhao Yi accelerated and rushed to the right again. Terry's legs were out of control, and he used his hands and feet to roll and crawl to stop Zhao Yi from breaking through.
But it was of no avail.
Terry fell to the grass and could only watch Zhao Yi break into the penalty area.
Cahill quickly blocked, and Zhao Yi kicked the ball into the middle of the small penalty area with a very fast speed!
Aguero inserted in the middle, and Begovic fell to the ground to block.
Neither of them touched the ball!
In an instant, the players in the penalty area looked at the back point at the same time.
