Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After fifteen minutes, the second half of the game continued.

Due to the excellent performance in the first half, Van Gaal did not make any tactical adjustments.

Ranieri made adjustments, Juan Sebastian Veron came on the field, replacing Petit.

This also shows his attitude. Both midfielders were replaced with offensive players. This is to play a game of mutual poking with Manchester City.

Yang Luo in the stands raised his eyebrows.

The Argentine wizard is undoubtedly a top midfielder, but his performance in the Premier League can be called a disaster. He is actually not adapted to the rhythm of the Premier League.

If Ranieri replaced him to risk his life, the consequences of risking his life may not be satisfactory.

However, the tinker was helpless. Since Manchester City got the first move for Makelele, Chelsea did not buy a midfielder of the same level as Makelele this summer, which led to their natural defects in the midfield.

Although the veteran Petit is not bad, his condition has declined after all. Once he encounters a strong team, there will be certain problems.

The last Arsenal game is a good example.

Now replacing Veron is also a sign of his going all out, but the result is completely unknown.

In the 53rd minute, Veron got the ball. He used his strong body to protect the ball, but the slight hesitation before passing the ball made him fall into Essien's pressing.

The black tower Essien's body made Veron a little overwhelmed. He hurriedly passed the ball back, then turned his body and ran towards the front court.

After receiving the return pass, Terry made a big kick, and Crespo in the front court retreated to make a pass, and the ball was handed to Veron who was advancing.

After Veron unloaded the ball, he observed it for a moment, then passed it directly to Hasselbaink who was advancing quickly.

But this time, Stam predicted his passing route very well, and with a long step, he intercepted his pass in an instant.

Then he looked up and kicked the ball directly to the front court.

At this time, because Veron had already advanced, a large gap had appeared in front of the central defender!

Ronaldinho appeared there, he unloaded the ball beautifully, and then started to speed up instantly!

Lampard stepped forward to interfere, but he twisted his butt and pushed it away directly!

Seeing that he came to the front of the penalty area again, Terry had to continue to block it!

This time Glen Johnson learned his lesson and did not come forward to assist, but how could the young Terry be Ronaldinho's opponent now!

Ronaldinho, who was full of fake moves, made the young Jiang Terry not know how to start, and he easily changed direction and broke through from his left.

Terry saw that it was not good, and quickly reached out to pull Ronaldinho down!

The referee blew the whistle, and he ran from a distance and decisively took out a yellow card.

Terry did not argue, there was no doubt about the yellow card.

But the yellow card was also very worthwhile, otherwise Ronaldinho entered the penalty area...

That almost meant losing points.

However, Manchester City also got a free kick in an excellent position.

The ball was about 25 or 26 meters away from the goal, which was exactly the distance the kicker liked the most.

Ronaldinho stood in front of the football without hesitation.

As the absolute midfield core of the team, he usually took care of free kicks.

Cudicini arranged the human wall nervously, and he knew Ronaldinho's free kick level.

Although he could not be called a top master, he was definitely a first-class master.

Ronaldinho observed the position of the opponent's human wall, and his eyes kept flashing.

Although he looked harmless, his mind was very smart.

Without this ability to see through the opponent's weaknesses, how could he have achieved such great success?

After the Chelsea players set up the human wall, the referee stepped back a few steps, blew a whistle, and signaled the players to take the penalty.

Ronaldinho stepped back a few steps and started to run up.

He leaned to the left and slapped the lower part of the football with his right foot.

The football suddenly rose up, with a strong rotation and a fast speed, and flew towards the blind corner of the goal!

Ronaldinho felt very good as soon as he kicked, and his eyes were already following the football.

The fans present also held their breath, and the eyes of tens of thousands of people were also focused on the small football.

Cudicini moved a few steps quickly, then jumped high and stretched his whole body as much as possible.

But the football still flew past his fingertips and went into the goal!

When the football hit

The sound of the ball hitting the net sounded, and there was a violent clamor on the court!

Cudicini fell to the ground in despair, and the football bounced behind him.

Ronaldinho ran to the sidelines excitedly, and his teammates rushed up to celebrate this wonderful free kick for him.

Yang Luo also stood up and couldn't help but applaud Ronaldinho's wonderful performance.

This ball was very exciting and of great significance.

Leading 2-0, this is already a very good score.

Ranieri had a gloomy face, and I don't know what he was thinking in his heart.

The source of this ball was Veron's pass error and loss of position, but didn't he send him on the court to strengthen the offense?

He sighed in his heart, knowing that this game might be over.

In the next time, Chelsea had to press on the attack in a big way, hoping to get the score back.

But Manchester City's defense is not vegetarian. Even their explosive point Duff did not take much advantage when facing Sun Jihai's defense.

Sun Jihai, who only focuses on defense, is enough to reach the level of a first-class Premier League full-back, which makes Duff very uncomfortable.

And Makelele and Essien are no longer so forward at this time. They pulled a big gate in front of the defense line, which made Chelsea's offensive line somewhat helpless.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Chelsea could not form any threatening offense. Instead, Manchester City made several counterattacks and almost expanded the score.

And Van Gaal also made some appropriate rotations, replacing Makelele with Dacourt and replacing Robben with Milner, so that the main players could rest.

But even so, Chelsea still did not get a chance to score.

There were not even many good chances to score.

In fact, it must be said that the two Argentines in the frontcourt are not adapted to the games and rhythm of the Premier League, so Chelsea relying on them cannot become a top Premier League team.

In the end, the score did not change until the end. Manchester City beat Chelsea 2-0 at home and won a crucial victory!

At the moment when the final whistle blew, Yang Luo exhaled lightly, stood up and hugged Bernstein beside him to celebrate.

Two consecutive victories finally allowed Manchester City to dispel the haze of the past few days!
