Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The two sides did not play too aggressively at the beginning.

Because most of the players on the field were affected by the FIFA virus, the two sides were not too aggressive at the beginning.

Especially Chelsea, their tactics in this game were very conservative, especially the two full-backs, Glen Johnson and Bridge would not go forward to assist at all times, and always maintain the stability of the defense line.

Davis and Lampard did not insert as frequently as before, but always protected in front of their own back line.

In such a conservative situation, Manchester City did not have any good way, and the number of times they could attack the penalty area was not many.

Therefore, the scene of this game was very ugly.

Yang Luo in the stands could not help but think of a sentence: "As long as Mourinho does not want to win the game, he will not lose."

He raised his eyebrows helplessly, it seems that this sentence really makes sense.

Bernstein, who was standing aside, was also a little bored. He looked at the Manchester City players who were doing useless ball control and couldn't help but said to Yang Luo: "Will this game end so dull?"

Yang Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How should I know?"

And Peter Kenyon, CEO of Chelsea, who was sitting one seat away from them, pretended not to hear their conversation, but his face was slightly red.

Chelsea did play very passively in this game, which was really unworthy of the weight of the strong dialogue.

However, Mourinho was sitting on the Diaoyutai at this time, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

He knew his nominal teacher too well. This teacher's tactical thinking was top-notch in the world, but he had big problems on the psychological level.

Van Gaal was a person who would rather break than bend. The more you play defense with him, the more he will desperately fire at you until you die or he dies.

So, Mourinho used such a set of tactics.

The lineup he arranged was designed to wear out Van Gaal's patience. The last thirty minutes of the second half was the moment he really wanted to win.

And Van Gaal would never have thought that he would use the main lineup as bait to consume Manchester City!

So far, everything has been going according to Mourinho's expectations.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City's possession rate was as high as 70%, and there were six shots, but almost no threat to Chelsea's goal.

Of course, this first half was also extremely boring, far worse than the exciting game between Manchester City and Arsenal some time ago.

Lineker opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

So he directly threw the question to Kevin Keegan: "Mr. Keegan, what do you think of this first half?"

Kevin Keegan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I was distracted for more than half of the time. I even wanted to return the labor fee and go home."

Lineker and Alan Hansen looked at each other and almost laughed out loud.

Kevin Keegan's description was so apt that they couldn't think of any words to reply.

If they were not constrained by their status as hosts, they would also want to complain like this.

However, in the away team's locker room at this time, Mourinho was very satisfied with the players' performance: "Boys, after the start of the second half, you hold on for another fifteen minutes, and our time will come."

All the soldiers nodded in agreement.

The low defense in the first half made their physical energy consumption not so great, especially under Mourinho's precise arrangement, all the players stood in their positions, so that each other did not need to spend too much physical energy on filling in positions.

And all this was for the counterattack in the last 30 minutes!

Soon, the second half of the game officially began.

At the beginning, Manchester City was still the main attacker and Chelsea was the main defender. The rhythm of the game was still so uncomfortable.

But in the 55th minute, an unexpected situation occurred on the field.

Ronaldinho suddenly tilted his body and stopped when he was breaking through.

He kicked the ball out of the sideline and then covered his right leg.

Van Gaal on the sidelines felt depressed, and he quickly asked the team doctor to come in and check him.

After the team doctor checked, he made a substitution gesture to Van Gaal.

Van Gaalton felt worse, he glanced at the bench, and finally made a decision: "Leo, get ready to play!"

The little guy at the end of the bench immediately jumped up, took off his clothes and started warming up.

Van Gaal's face was heavy. This was a forced substitution. He didn't know if this young Argentine could have any surprises, but now he always has more than Milner.

Many possibilities.

Soon, the fourth official raised the substitution sign: "Ronaldinho No. 10 off, Messi No. 19 on!"

Ronaldinho walked down with the help of the team doctor, and the young Messi officially debuted!

Van Gaal looked at the team doctor: "David, how is he?"

David Favre looked calm: "It should be some muscle spasms, which is caused by physical exhaustion. If he stays on the court, I'm afraid he will be injured."

Van Gaal certainly knew that Ronaldinho could not be injured, so he nodded: "Then it depends on you!"

David Favre nodded and helped Ronaldinho back to the locker room for physical therapy.

Van Gaal then turned his attention to the court.

But at this time, Manchester City's attack once again hit Chelsea's 30-meter area!

Kaka dribbled the ball to Davis. He took a look at the thickness of the defense behind him and did not choose to break through. Instead, he passed the ball diagonally to Ronaldo on the right!

After Ronaldo got the ball, he faced Bridge. He first made a fake move to the bottom, but Bridge didn't get fooled.

But Ronaldo then changed direction and cut into the penalty area, which caused Bridge to take a step in the direction of his movement.

However, this step was still a fake move. He then made another large change of direction and rushed to the bottom line!

Bridge's center of gravity could no longer keep up, and he could only watch him fly away!

But Carvalho in the middle was unmoved. He did not come to make up for the defense, but just moved one step towards Ronaldo's passing line.

He knew that it was unlikely that Ronaldo would shoot directly at such a small angle, so as long as he blocked his cross, he would be more than half successful!

Sure enough, Ronaldo adjusted his steps and chose to kick and cross!

And Teacher Tony didn't get the point at all due to Terry's interference. The football passed over their heads and came to the back point!

But this attack was not over, because the figure of the Argentinean little man appeared there!

He stopped the ball beautifully, then dribbled past Glen Johnson's pressing!

Then he brought the ball to the penalty area, adjusted two steps, and decisively chose to shoot!

The ball went to the far corner of the goal, and Cudicini quickly got down to the ground and blocked the ball with his toes!

The ball changed its trajectory and flew towards the bottom line.

But just as the ball was about to pass the goal, Ronaldo suddenly appeared in front of the ball!

He flew up and shoveled the ball into the goal!
