Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 249

On the field, Chen Chen, who scored a wonderful long shot, ran to the sidelines, high-fived Guardiola and his teammates and hugged them one by one.

Then he rushed to the corner flag area and slid down to celebrate in front of the cheering Blue Moon fans!

Interestingly, Chen Chen's sliding kneeling action swept down the corner flagpole!

Fortunately, the flagpole was not broken and it was still very strong.

After standing up, Chen Chen did not make any moves to provoke the opponent's fans, but stood there quietly with his hands open.

Chen Chen was silent, just listening carefully.

The Chelsea fans, who were originally a little angry and depressed, fell into silence.

How can this be played?

The more you boo and target them, the better they play!

Tuchel felt a little like crying without tears.

Last season's Champions League final was a masterpiece of German tactical interpretation.

Today, when facing Manchester City, Tuchel wants to continue to use "suitable changes" to defeat the opponent.

But what he didn't expect was that a young man came to Manchester City, and he was just flying on the court!

Looking up at the time on the big screen, Tuchel sighed.

For Chelsea, the game, including the extra time, only lasted less than 30 minutes.

Equalize? Overtake?

Where to start!

Of course, admitting defeat is not the style of Stamford Bridge.

Although the loss of the game is doomed, it is better to narrow the goal difference.

It's better than nothing.

So Tuchel immediately abandoned the frustration and helplessness and quickly made substitutions.

American captain Pulisic and young midfielder Xavi Weir came on the court.

Xavi is a midfielder with good offensive aggression. Tuchel is a broken jar.

Even if he can't take away the victory, he must try to narrow the gap.

Seeing that the team made substitutions again, the Chelsea fans at the scene once again cheered loudly!

Regardless of whether Chelsea is 1-4 or 1-8, they will always be loyal fans of Stamford Bridge!

Manchester City also made substitutions.

Mahrez, the hero of the goal, was substituted and Alvarez came on as a substitute!

This was Spider's first appearance in Manchester City!

Manchester City fans in the away fan zone applauded Alvarez, and they expected the prince of River Plate to show his talent and strength in Manchester City!

Also substituted was De Bruyne, who was active on the right, and replaced by Gundogan.

Manchester City's formation changed to 4312 again.

The advantage of this formation is that it can save the physical energy of the midfielders, which is a good change for Manchester City, which is currently leading by a large margin.

The disadvantage is that the two central midfielders must have sufficient physical energy, otherwise they will be easily penetrated if they fail to return to defense in time.

Manchester City is not worried about this, because Gundogan has just come on, how could he lack physical energy?

The game continues.

The 73rd minute of the game.

Chelsea pushed forward from the backcourt.

Now the Blues have learned their lesson. It is of no benefit for them to play high and high, because Lukaku in front may not be able to receive the ball.

The Belgian is a bit unpredictable.

Yes, he scored a goal today.

But more often than not, Lukaku is more like a "wandering soul" with no fixed place to live. He is restricted too much and can't get the ball at all!

Soon the ball came to Jorginho's feet.

The weak bird did not choose to go head-to-head with the Manchester City players, but chose to pass directly to the left front!

Find Werner who is running wildly on the sideline!

Werner's dribbling skills are not as good as Havertz, but he is better at accelerating.

Werner easily passed Rodri who came to defend, and a hole was torn in Manchester City's defense.

This was a deliberate and unintentional offensive attempt from Chelsea. They succeeded, and Manchester City had to return to defense immediately.

Walker made up for it as soon as possible.

Facing Kyle Walker, Werner did not take it lightly, slowed down, and then looked towards the middle frequently.

He was waiting for his teammates in the middle to move.

When Walker followed closely, Werner, who was originally advancing slowly, accelerated instantly!

The German rushed to the bottom line with the ball!

Walker hurried to catch up.

Unexpectedly, Werner suddenly stopped running forward, and then directly made a cross from the spot.

In the Manchester City penalty area, Lukaku and Chie who had made a forward run quickly jumped high!

Both of them are 191 cm tall, and it is really difficult to defend against the several defensive tigers in the Manchester City penalty area.

"Bang!"

Lukaku did not waste the opportunity this time. He headed the ball before Reuben and Laporte's heads hit it.

Then he turned and headed the ball!

"Lukaku!"

"Header!"

"Ah! Lukaku rarely got a good chance, but was blocked by Eduardo again.Ederson was blocked!"

In front of Manchester City's goal line, Ederson once again showed himself to everyone!

Faced with a sudden and fast header, Ederson miraculously held it in his arms with both hands!

Then Ederson didn't hesitate at all, and the Brazilian goalkeeper quickly ran to the penalty area and sent it forward.

He wanted to find Alvarez in front!

But the little spider was still a little young, and he was blocked by Rudiger who quickly returned to defense.

The German central defender simply made a diagonal sideways block, and Forced Spider to slow down.

On the football field, quick counterattack opportunities are urgent, and they require speed and suddenness. Now that speed and suddenness are gone, Manchester City's good quick counterattack opportunity is gone.

In the end, Spider's hurried pass was easily blocked out of bounds by Rudiger.

Manchester City's counterattack stopped, and they only got a throw-in.

Alvarez was a little frustrated.

Chen Chen ran over and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him,

"It's okay, Julian, this is normal."

Then Chen Chen added,

"Welcome to the Premier League!"

Hearing this, Alvarez nodded heavily.

The encouragement from Chen Chen made him regain his confidence. The Argentine smiled at Chen Chen and thanked him,

"Thank you! Chen! I will do my best! ”

The game continued, and Rodri ran to throw the ball out of bounds.

Time passed by little by little, and soon it was 80 minutes later.

In the Migu studio, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu had no objection to the outcome of the game.

They were disagreeing on the topic of "Can Chelsea score again?"

"Tuchel arranged a lot of forwards and offensive midfielders. Obviously, the score of 1-4 is difficult for Tuchel to accept."

"Here, we must affirm and appreciate Tuchel's courage to change the formation."

"But there is not much time left for them."

"Lukaku's physical strength is declining. In extreme terms, with only one effective high point, it is difficult for Chelsea to make a breakthrough in the wing cross."

"Zhang Zhi, in this last period of time, do you think Chelsea can score? I think it's not possible. "

Zhang Lu's face was no longer smiling as usual. He answered seriously,

"It's hard for Chelsea to score, but they have been suppressing Manchester City during this period, and the Blues have a better ball possession rate."

"So I think, either there will be no goal and Chelsea will end up 1-4."

"Or the Blues will take advantage of the situation and find a good opportunity to tie the score to 2-4."

"As for whether Manchester City can score? I am more optimistic that they will focus on solid defense when they are leading by a large margin. It is unlikely to score a goal."
