Of course, Pellegrini noticed something was wrong with Wang Ai's condition, but he didn't know whether he thought his physical fitness had not recovered or because he was accustomed to trusting him, so he didn't give him any instructions during the halftime break, while Wang Ai himself kept talking.
Adjust with your eyes closed.
After a short break, the two sides returned to the field. The Chilean did not make any adjustments to the starting lineup. Chelsea also made no adjustments, showing that the two coaches still trust their formation.
After the start of the second half, Chelsea's formation was slightly more relaxed and the offense became more active. This also cheered up the Manchester City attackers who were tired in the first half. However, it was Chelsea who took the lead.
Erle broke the deadlock with a goal-mouthed outflank in the 63rd minute of the game. Shortly afterwards, under Chelsea's increasingly fierce offensive, Manchester City full-back Sabaleta was sent off after two yellows and one red.
The Chilean couldn't sit still. Although he didn't shout to the court, his solemn look showed his unhappy mood.
At this time, Wang Ai finally got rid of his depression. Under pressure from the coach with whom he had a good relationship, he cheered up and carefully analyzed the situation on each other's court. Of course, his teammates still trusted him, and they had a good opportunity.
He was the first choice, even Aguero. His two missed goals in the first half were really nothing, especially for him who has won the European Golden Boot for eight consecutive years.
But for him, after all, there is still a bit of a psychological shadow. If he tries hard at this time, Wang Ai is sure that he has adjusted well and can erase this shadow with a goal. But there is not much game time left, and there is not much opportunity to attack.
He can't waste everyone's efforts.
So, taking advantage of several opportunities to communicate with his teammates, Wang Ai expressed his thoughts, and David Silva's eyes lit up... His big eyes are always very bright under normal circumstances!
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Dzeko, who was pulled to the wing, suddenly sent a high ball to the penalty area after being unable to penetrate. Then it bounced on a high wave in a blue ocean of different shades, and the ball hit the target.
Hit the door.
Full of force, stretched limbs, and full of beauty, the moment the football crossed the goal line from the air, countless cameras were fixed on Wang Ai in the air, the fallen goalkeeper, and the faces of the players on both sides who were either confused or excited.
97% of Manchester City's goals come from the foot of the ball!
The Argentinian center is versatile but short, and the Montenegrin center is big but prefers the feet. The two centers are so willful, resulting in Manchester City's attack being extremely monotonous. In fact, Wang Ai is similar to outsiders, and he also prefers the feet. Otherwise, with his physique, he
That head, a quarter of it must come from headers, not to mention he has the unique skill of heading curve balls. But in fact, only 10% of his goals are headers.
I can’t say why, but maybe Wang Ai has the same heart as Dzeko, despising simple and crude headers, and prefers technical and aesthetic footballs.
But after all, the situation was pressing. When Wang Ai was frustrated twice with the ball at his feet, Wang Ai finally adjusted after being confused for most of the game, and changed Manchester City's attack from 2D to 3D in one fell swoop!
Pellegrini was very excited. He opened his arms and hugged his assistants on the sidelines, and his face was beaming with joy. But not long after, he used Lampard to prepare to let him play to express his loyalty to the new club and cut off the old club.
, Chelsea actually took the lead again.
This time was very similar to the last time. It was also a cross and outflank in a fast break. Hart was helpless in the face of such fierce cooperation.
Maybe it was because of the lead, or maybe it was because of his outstanding contribution. The moment Lampard stepped onto the court, the Chelsea fans who came from London actually applauded him rhythmically. This move broke the negative comments in the media.
, showing that Chelsea fans still love the Magic Lamp.
However, Lampard did not respond. After all, the script had already been written, and no matter what he thought, he had to follow the rules.
On the contrary, Lampard used his familiarity with Chelsea's defensive system to quickly find the opponent's loopholes. In the 40th minute of the game, he seized the opportunity when Wang Ai was forced to the bottom line and forced a counterattack. He fell to the ground and fired at the last moment.
Score the ball.
A 36-year-old veteran broke the deadlock in less than 5 minutes, which made the Double Blue fans sigh with emotion, some disappointed, some excited.
Wang Ai hugged his old friend, and after letting go, he looked at the still young baby face and couldn't help but think about it. He is indeed the most capable midfielder in the world. Even if he is old, he will still score as long as he has the chance.
The sword flashed.
The score of 2:2 remained until the end. Wang Ai, Lampard and Manchester City all saved themselves.
But after returning home that day, Wang Ai unexpectedly received a call from Lao Bai: "What's wrong with you? Your two goals in the first half today were abnormal?"
Sitting in the restaurant at home, Wang Ai couldn't stand the dazzling array of things in front of him. Kuai Zi simply talked to Lao Bai: "I want to change the way I play."
"Change the kicking method?" Lao Bai unexpectedly asked: "Use your hands?"
"No, get out!" Wang Ai scolded with a smile: "Why are you watching the game?"
"Aren't you invited to be a guest commentator on CCTV? I just endured the nausea and watched it." Lao Bai said sullenly: "If I had known you were so ugly, I wouldn't have come."
"I scored a goal!" Wang Ai emphasized.
"Your normal state should be averaging two goals per game!" Lao Bai also emphasized: "Don't be stubborn with me. I know what your physical fitness is like. You can break the Asian record after practicing for a month. Needless to say? So, you
It's not normal to score a goal."
Noticing that his old friend was suddenly silent, Lao Bai rubbed his bald head in the car in front of the central stage: "Do you really want to change your playing style? Seriously?"
"seriously."
This time, Lao Bai was silent for a long time and even lit a cigarette. He opened the car window and puffed out several puffs of smoke outside the dark night window before saying in a low voice: "Brother, I'm 27 or 8, is it worth taking this risk?"
?”
"Do you understand?" Wang Ai said unexpectedly.
"Who is still young and frivolous?" Lao Bai said with a carefree smile.
"Are you still frivolous now?"
"……I understand."
This call between old friends halfway around the world suddenly fell into silence. After a long time, Lao Bai threw down his cigarette butt: "Then do it, brother, I also want to see where your limit is. Brother, I have retired.
, I can’t help you much, but I can still call you a good buddy.”
At home in Manchester, Wang Ai put the hung up phone on the dining table and looked at Leonie: "This is the first test, and Lao Bai can already see it. It seems that no one can hide it."
"Then will you call them?" Leonie asked with concern.
Wang Ai thought and shook his head: "No! The country is looking at me and will not support me in taking risks. Of course, the people close to me want to see me taller, but they can only pretend to be stupid. I have to let them be able to pretend.
