Chapter 378 The man in the red and black sword striped shirt No. 22(1/2)

When the goalkeeper's net that flew into Chelsea, everyone, whether it was Chelsea or Manchester City, had a "hell" expression.

They widened their eyes, opened their mouths, and stared at the goal in a daze.

I can't believe that football just entered like this...

The game only started two minutes!

This is Manchester City's first shot!

But this is not important, the most important thing is... the ball of Glory was actually passed by Cech!

Should this goal be Cech's assist?

Cech fell to the ground when he saved the game. He looked back at the football in the goal, hugged his head with his hands in pain, and lay motionless on the grass - this mistake was too amateur for him, and he shouldn't make such a mistake.

But he just made a mistake, and he didn't even know how he would face his teammates and the next game.

※※※

After scoring the goal, Geng Guang turned around and ran to his teammates with his arms wide open, and his teammates rushed towards him in surprise. The two sides met near the center circle and hugged each other to celebrate the goal.

After the initial surprise, the Manchester City fans in the stands also jumped up and cheered.

Manchester City fans in front of the TV were even more excited. They not only cheered, but also laughed.

This ball was so dramatic...

Commentator John Motterson was stunned for a moment before saying: "The ball was in! Oh! The ball was in! It was incredible! It was incredible! No one would have thought that Chelsea would concede the ball like this!"

"I think Boas should be relieved. If he loses the game like this, he will find a new excuse - 'This time it's not because my tactics are wrong, but because we lost such an inexplicable goal at the beginning!'" Alan Hansen said in imitating Boas' tone, and he started to complain again.

When facing the media, Boas can always find various reasons to explain why he lost the game. These reasons fully demonstrate that the unstable results are not his problem or tactical.

"Unfortunate Cech..." After complaining, Alan Sen sympathized with Cech.

This goal concealed will affect him for a long time and will be frequently mentioned after the game. Every time people talk about Glory's goal, it is a harm to Cech.

※※※

Cech lay on the grass and was reluctant to get up. He didn't look up until someone patted him on the shoulder and found that it was Captain Terry.

"Don't take this ball to heart, Peter. It's no big deal. Have you seen any storms?" Terry said.

"I don't know what happened to me just now..." Cech said in pain.

"This ball is also blamed. I shouldn't have passed it back hastily. I shouldn't have stood there after it's passed..." Terry continued to comfort Cech. "Don't think so much. There are still 88 minutes left in the game. You have to guard the Chelsea goal."

He stretched out his hand to Cech.

Cech took his hand and was pulled by Terry.

※※※

The TV broadcast quickly cut to Boas on the sidelines a close-up.

Boas in the camera looked very ugly, and he didn't expect his team to concede the ball in this way.

Lampard, behind him, also held his head with his hands in his arms, regretting the team's concealment of the goal. It seems that he does not want the team to lose.

※※※

After the game started again, Cech was still affected by this goal concealment.

Ten minutes later, Manchester City counterattacked, and the football was directly passed from the backcourt to Rongguang. Rongguang dribbled the ball and broke through, but he followed Chelsea's defensive players in front of him, so he did not continue to break into the penalty area, but instead made a sudden arrow about twenty meters away from the goal. Although the shooting was very sudden, it was not hastily and full of strength, but the angle was slightly straight.

Logically speaking, even if Cech cannot hold the football, he can still play it.

But when Cech was snatching the ball, he lost his hand, and the football hit his upper right arm and bounced out!

"Cheh...get off!!"

Amid John Motterson's scream, Ibrahimovic, who rushed forward with the counterattack of Glory, finally came to the front of the goal. He rushed towards the football and poked the football with his big leg advantage!

He stabbed the football into the empty goal...

"2:0! Manchester City led two goals! Only thirteen minutes in the first half, Manchester City scored two goals. Such a start is really incredible! Boas said he has a trick to deal with Manchester City, so it's time to use it now? Chelsea has led two goals!"

"What trick does he have to deal with Manchester City? His trick is 'Ah, I have another excuse for my heart!'" Alan Hansen began to imitate Boas again.

※※※

The TV broadcast gave Boas again. Boas stood on the sidelines, looking very anxious. He was waving his arms and shouting something to the court.

But no one could hear it clearly, and no one knew what he meant.

Maybe he thinks the players didn't return to defense quickly after conceding the ball?

Maybe he thinks that the defense line should be collectively pressed forward and then offside?

Who knows...

Looking at the Chelsea players on the court, they were all confused. I don’t know if they were stunned by the two goals lost in just twelve minutes, or by Boas’ tactical arrangements.

※※※

Chelsea players are indeed a little confused by Boas' tactical arrangements.

After conceding two goals, Boas finally made an adjustment, allowing Mata to come from the wing to the middle to organize the offense.

But Mata played as a winger in Valencia, and the starting position in this game was also a winger.

Well, that's nothing, anyway, Mata is not unable to organize an offense.

However, he adjusted Mata, but did not arrange the tasks of the lower midfielder Merleles accordingly. Before the game, the task he arranged for Mereles was to plan and organize the attack in the lower midfielder position. Now that Mata recycled, it was about to organize the attack, and Mereles didn't know what to do.

If you continue to organize the attack according to the original tactics, you will have a conflict with Mata.

If you don't organize the offense yourself? What are you doing? The head coach doesn't have the latest instructions.

Chelsea's midfield was in chaos...

Until the end of the first half, they were unable to score a goal and did not even make it.

If Cech hadn't been awakened after conceding two goals, he returned to normal, caught up with high and low blocks, and blocked Manchester City's many shots, I'm afraid Chelsea would have lost more goals in the first half.

However, the team's performance did not satisfy Boas. He returned to the locker room with a gloomy face.

No one knows what he would say to his players during the break, whether he would curse or be moved by emotion?

Things in the locker room are often secrets to the outside world.

According to legend, many things will happen there, but very few of them are really spread.

Anyway, after the second half started again, Boas did not make any adjustments, and his tactics were still the same, and there were no substitutions.

In this game, Chelsea originally played 433, with three players from the midfielder, Ramirez and Romeu, and Torres, Drogba and Mata playing the striker.

Just looking at this forward match, everyone will definitely think that Drogba is the center, Torres and Mata are on both sides and playing against the winger.

But in fact, this is not the case. Torres and Drogba are both centers...

After Mata went to the midfield, Torres and Drogba were also centers.

Moreover, Torres is still a center forward in standing position, but Drogba is more flexible than him and will occasionally pull to the side.

Where is Torres?

It's like being nailed to the middle road with a nail.

In addition, as a center, Torres was also asked for many defensive tasks, so he was often seen running back from the frontcourt to participate in defense.

Such an arrangement made Alan Hansen complain from the first half to the second half, and Boas did not make any adjustments after the halftime break.

So Alan Hansen announced: "I think Boas has given up on this game."

※※※

In the 68th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity of Chelsea's heavy attack, Manchester City's backcourt Matuidi and Kompani joined forces to cut the ball from Drogba's feet and hand it over to Sneijder.

Sneider turned around and stuffed the football straight to the face.

However, he did not pass the ball to Rongguang, after all, Rongguang was accompanied by Chelsea players.

This time he chose to pass the football to Kaka!

Kaka received Sneider's ball near the center circle and turned around and accelerated the ball!

Manchester City's counterattack is coming again!

When Kaka brought the ball, many people seemed to have returned to the season when Kaka helped AC Milan reach the Champions League final. He drove the ball at a speed and ran faster than running without the ball. No one could catch up with him, and even the wind could only blow his clothes behind him.

Even the jerseys...even the jerseys are so similar.

In this game, Manchester City wore their away jerseys, and the top of this away jersey happened to be a red and black sword shirt!

So when people saw Kaka turn around and run wildly, they almost thought Kaka was still in AC Milan.

Besides, Kaka's jersey number at Manchester City is the same as when he was in AC Milan, and it is No. 22!

In fact, Manchester City has indeed had several red and black sword shirts in the team's long history, but the earliest one dates back to the one worn by the team when they won the FA Cup in 1969. In the following season, they wore this jersey to win the League Cup and the European Cup Winners Championship. It was the symbol of Manchester City's most glorious era before Glory joined. So the away jersey in the new season paid tribute to the classics, and even the collar style imitated the black-edged round neckline of that year.

Kaka ran all the way in a red and black sword shirt, facing Ivanovic who came up to defend him. He didn't have any fancy moves, just drove the football forward from the outside and then accelerated!

He threw Ivanovic away in two steps. Ivanovic's speed was not slower than Chelsea's central defender, but he was still far from facing Kaka who had regained his second spring.
