Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After a few minutes, the first half of the game ended.

Manchester City led Chelsea 1-0 at home.

However, this score is not safe. As long as Chelsea can score one in the second half, the two sides will be back to the same starting line.

Therefore, Yang Luo's plan remained unchanged, and he continued to attack Chelsea's left!

On the other side, Mourinho had no choice. They had only one way, attack!

So, at the beginning of the second half, the rhythm of both sides was very fast.

Chelsea's attack and defense conversion speed was pushed to the extreme, and the two wingers used their personal abilities to attack Manchester City's back line.

And Manchester City also carried out deep cultivation on Robben's side, making Gallas miserable.

Although both sides played at a fast pace, the score remained unchanged.

But in the 65th minute of the game, an accident suddenly occurred on the field!

Lampard passed the ball to Drogba, who was facing away in front of the penalty area, and Stam interfered with him from behind.

The Ivorian first leaned hard, then suddenly turned with the ball and prepared to force a breakthrough!

Stam quickly turned around to follow him, but just as he exerted force with his feet, he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh!

He covered his thigh with a painful look on his face.

Seeing that Drogba had gone far away, he wanted to continue chasing the opponent's footsteps, but the discomfort in his thigh could no longer allow him to continue to exert force!

Drogba had already dribbled into the penalty area, and Distin went to make up for the position but was a step too late. Facing Cech's attack, he directly shot with force!

The football hit the net without suspense!

One to one!

Chelsea equalized the score!

Seeing the goal, Stam looked disappointed. He slowly sat down on the ground and shook his head.

Yang Luo on the sidelines felt a tightness in his heart!

It was not just because of the goal, but Stam's condition!

Judging from his appearance, he might have a strain!

He quickly asked the team doctor to come in!

Sure enough, after David Favre made a simple examination, he shook his head at Yang Luo and made a substitution gesture.

Yang Luo sighed and quickly asked Kompany to prepare to play.

This is a bit troublesome!

When they helped Stam off the field, David Favre said to Yang Luo: "The thigh is strained."

Yang Luo's heart tightened. Uifalusi was already injured, and Stam was injured again. The central defender was immediately in a tight spot!

Stam looked ashamed: "Boss, I messed up."

Yang Luo patted his shoulder: "Yap, how can you be blamed for this? Take a good rest, we will win this victory for you!"

He knew that the continuous high-intensity combat made the nearly 33-year-old heavy defender physically exhausted, and the physical fight with a beast-level player like Drogba caused him to be injured.

But there is no time to think so much now, the next game is the most important!

After the restart, the person facing Drogba became the 19-year-old Kompany.

Although Distin took the initiative to take over the task of fighting Drogba, Drogba always found Kompany, hoping to open a breakthrough from him.

Yang Luo also knew that this was a weak spot, so he changed his defensive strategy, gave up the pressure on the wing, and focused on encircling Drogba, so that he could not comfortably take the ball one-on-one!

In Mourinho's tactical system, Drogba's fulcrum role is very important.

So after Yang Luo changed his defensive thinking, Chelsea's offense became a little sluggish.

The crosses from their two sides could no longer be transferred through Drogba, so they could only choose to threaten Manchester City's goal with a long shot.

But the success rate of this is obviously not high.

Manchester City further accelerated the offensive rhythm and prepared to use a more radical way to break through Chelsea's defense!

In the 73rd minute, Robben got the ball on the right. After taking away Gallas's defense, he passed the ball to Maicon who was advancing.

Maicon rushed into the penalty area after getting the ball. After observing the situation in the middle of the penalty area, he chose a low ball to the top of the arc.

Ronaldinho did not choose to shoot directly in the face of Dacourt's entanglement, but pulled the ball and turned around to the other side of Dacourt!

This time he got a chance to shoot with his left foot, but he did not choose to shoot, but sent the ball into the penalty area!

Ronaldo, who was inserted from the left at high speed, met the ball and shot it!

Cudicini subconsciously pounced, and Terry in front of the goal quickly cleared the ball.

This ball

Another attack from the right, but unfortunately the result was not satisfactory.

Yang Luo thought about it on the sidelines, stood up and said a few words to Tuchel.

Tuchel turned his head and glanced at the bench, whispering: "Are you sure you want to make a substitution?"

Yang Luo nodded: "It's time to fight for your life."

Tuchel thought about it: "Okay, I agree."

So Yang Luo turned to the bench: "Fernando, get ready to play."

Torres immediately stood up and started warming up.

Two minutes later, a dead ball was formed on the field.

Manchester City played the substitution card, but what was unexpected was that Torres did not make a substitution this time, but replaced Ronaldo!

At the same time, Manchester City's position on the field changed.

Ronaldinho came to the left and Torres entered the penalty area.

Manchester City now formed a 424 formation!

Mourinho on the sidelines also frowned, he knew that the opponent was starting to fight for his life!

Yes, now it is the 76th minute of the game, if not now, when?

He immediately responded, replacing Glen Johnson with Ferreira, and letting Joe Cole move up to the actual front midfielder position.

He also planned to use these ten minutes to do something!

In the 80th minute, Essien got the ball in the midfield.

He wanted to pass the ball to Xabi Alonso next to him, but found that Joe Cole had blocked the passing line.

At this time, Lampard also approached quickly, ready to intercept the ball at his feet.

At this time, a figure appeared in front of him on the right, reaching out to ask him.

He looked up and saw that it was Maicon!

So he chose to give the ball to him without hesitation.

After Maicon got the ball, he began to dribble forward quickly!

In fact, this was also Yang Luo's arrangement. This 424 formation would have some problems in the connection between the midfield and the frontcourt, so someone was needed to do the work of holding the ball and advancing.

As one of the few players in football history who holds the ball as a full-back, Maicon can naturally take on this responsibility when other players are being watched!

His sudden forward movement was beyond everyone's expectations!

Soon he dribbled past the midfield, and Dacot had to fill in and stop him!

But Maicon passed the ball to Ronaldinho at this time!

At this time, the front of Chelsea's penalty area was empty, so Ronaldinho could choose to cut inside without scruples!

Ferreira was blocked behind him, and he came directly to the penalty area!

Seeing that he was about to shoot, Carvalho had no choice but to choose to make up for the defense!

But as soon as he took a step forward, Ronaldinho shook his ankle and sent the ball behind him!

Torres understood and took a step diagonally to get the ball!

At this time, only Cudicini was left in front of him, and he shot directly without hesitation!

Cudicini chose the wrong direction and the ball flew into the net from the other side of him!
