Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth confidant and direct line
October 29th came, and 38,000 Chelsea fans and more than 3,000 Manchester City fans from afar poured into the Stamford Bridge Stadium. Manchester City fans hoped to see the team continue to win and strive to surpass them as soon as possible.
Arsenal returned to first place in the standings, while Chelsea fans hope that Mourinho can defeat Manchester City, consolidate his position, and continue to work as Chelsea head coach.
For Chelsea fans, they don’t think too much. They only know that Mourinho helped them win two league championships as soon as he came, and they are the favorites in the Champions League every year. Although they did not win last year
They can win any championship, but they also performed very well in the Champions League and the league. Not having a championship is just bad luck. If Mourinho can't do it, who else can? Dick may do it, but he has already gone
Manchester City...
So they still chanted slogans in support of Mourinho and came to Stamford Bridge to cheer for the best coach in their minds.
Abramovich also appeared in the stands. He looked at Mourinho standing in a windbreaker with mixed emotions. For Abramovich, of course he knew how good Mourinho was and how good he was last season.
The final failure has a lot to do with his joining the team, but... no matter how good Mourinho is, such a dazzling head coach who can attract all the attention is not what he needs, because it will cover him up.
He didn't want to be so low-key.
"Since you want to finish this game, then... I will give you this opportunity!" Abu thought in his heart.
Under Abramovich's gaze, Dick also walked out of the players' tunnel. He did not go to the away team's coaching bench, but went straight to the home team's coaching bench and towards Mourinho.
Mourinho did not behave in his usual arrogant manner, but took the initiative to greet Dick and shake hands with him.
"After this game, take a good rest...I believe you will come back to this stadium, no matter what identity you use." Dick said in a low voice, covering his mouth with his hands as he spoke.
It would be bad to avoid being photographed and then decrypted by lip reading experts.
Mourinho couldn't help laughing, and he covered his mouth and replied: "I believe this too...but I want to win this game."
Then both parties let go of their hands, laughed, and turned around to return to their positions.
At this time, the commentators in charge of the broadcast were almost bursting with curiosity.
"What are they talking about? They are talking with their mouths covered! Is there any secret? Camera position! Is there any footage of their mouths moving?"
When the broadcasters started to panic, Dick and Mourinho had already returned to their seats, waiting for the game to start.
The starting lineup sent by Dick in this game is not much different from before, Hart, Richards, Samuel, Kompany, Barnes, Button, Parker, Yaya Toure, Ribery
, Torres, Di Natale.
Mourinho's starting lineup is somewhat different from usual.
The uninjured captain Terry was directly taken out of the squad. He didn't even sit on the bench and was thrown directly into the stands. The central defender partner was Carvalho and Brazilian defender Alex. It seemed that in the last game, Mourinho
Rinho didn't want to show any good looks to the guy who stabbed him in the back. He just abandoned Terry when he was not injured, sick or suspended. It was almost a break-up...
…
Mourinho sent two full-backs, Belletti and Ashley Cole. The four players in the midfield were Essien, Lampard, Mikel and Joe Cole. The forward partners were
Drogba and Adriano.
When he saw Adriano again, Dick couldn't help but sigh.
There was no need to drag him to weigh himself. Just by visual inspection, Dick could tell that Adriano was much fatter than a year ago. It is actually very easy for a player like him to gain weight. He would gain weight if he did not train seriously.
, it is unlikely that he will be relaxed under Mourinho, but Mourinho has been very anxious for more than a season and probably cannot manage him well. In a nightclub in London, could it be that Ade started to
Have you lost yourself in the same way?
When the game started, the two sides immediately started pressing and blocking on the court. For the players on both sides, they did not notice anything, and they did not know that this game would be Mourinho's last game coaching Chelsea.
In the game, Manchester City's players only thought about how to show the team's strength in the away game, while Chelsea's players also thought about defeating their opponents in the game to consolidate Mourinho's position - they did not know that this
No matter how the game ends, Mourinho will resign.
After the confrontation in the midfield, Yaya Toure passed the ball to Parker who was on the sidelines. Mikel fouled Parker. Manchester City got a free kick near the sideline. Parker drove the ball directly into the penalty area. Torres was behind
The point failed to withstand the force, Cech jumped up and confiscated the ball.
The pace of the game seemed fast from the beginning, but it was difficult for both sides to create any opportunities. Manchester City's midfielder has excellent running ability and strong interception ability, which is also Chelsea's strength.
Although Kerr has never been able to perform very well, he is also a very good runner. With Essien and Lampard, Chelsea will be even better in terms of hardness in the midfield.
However, in terms of the direct threat from the striker, Manchester City has the upper hand. The cooperation of the three frontcourt players is quite tacit. Although Chelsea has two top strikers, there is not much contact between these two people. Adrien
Jarno relied more on his personal ability to break through, while Drogba ran rampant in the frontcourt. There was no tacit understanding between the two people, and the impact on Manchester City's defense was not too great. After all, Manchester City's defense is now also a confrontational force.
A line of defense that all agility possesses!
The game continued to be tense until ten minutes later, when Manchester City took the lead!
After scoring twice in the last round, Torres once again became the target that opponents needed to focus on. The last round was a typical example. When opponents focused on Torres, Di Natale got a lot of opportunities. However,
The problem now is that if you relax Torres may die earlier. If Di Natale is an opportunist, then Torres can create opportunities!
Mourinho also sees this very clearly, so Alex has been following Torres, using his height and strength to pester Torres to prevent him from easily getting any opportunities.
It is not easy to keep an eye on Ribery because his range of activities is too large. It is very difficult to keep an eye on him, but it is relatively easy to keep an eye on Torres. Although his range of activities is also large, there are more
He also plays in the center position, otherwise he will lose his deterrence.
Ribery received a pass from his teammate on the wing. Torres began to run over to meet him. Alex followed. Ribery still passed the ball to Torres under Belletti's defense. Torres did not take it.
Instead, he quickly pointed the ball back. Parker, who followed, took a flying kick and transferred the ball directly to the right!
Richards, who stepped in from the right to assist, decisively passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Di Natale appeared on the passing route. Even though Carvalho had already rushed over to block the hole of the gun, he still raised his right foot.
, intending to force a shot.
Cech tensed his nerves and planned to save the shot. After all, Carvalho would not be able to block all shooting angles no matter how much he blocked it. However, Di Natale did not shoot. The moment his right foot touched the ball,
He changed the position where he touched the ball, flicked his ankle, and knocked the ball directly into the middle of the penalty area!
Yaya Toure, who was inserted in the back row, got rid of Essien's defense, and volleyed directly while running towards the rolling ball. The ball quickly flew into the Chelsea gate, and Cech's attention was on it.
With Di Natale, by the time he turned around, it was already too late!
More than 3,000 Manchester City fans immediately gave out huge cheers, celebrating the arrival of their first goal!
No matter what Terry's character is, his strength is still outstanding. Although Alex has excellent physical fitness, it is still difficult to replace Terry. The problem of cooperation between the two central defenders gave Manchester City such an opportunity.
!
As Yaya Toure hugged his teammates, Dick stood up and pumped his fist, then sat back down.
It's just a ball, there's no time to get carried away.
Mourinho sat calmly on the coaching bench. The loss of the ball did not make him frown. He just sighed in his heart. The turmoil over the past season has indeed reduced Chelsea's strength a lot.
At least the formation that was tightly operated before can now be said to be full of flaws. The players are all suspicious of each other. How can they show a tacit understanding on the court?
In the attack just now, Essien got rid of him, but Mikel, who was supposed to take over, was not around. Otherwise, Yaya Toure would not have been able to play so easily even if he was interfered with...
"But it's not over! My Chelsea will not lose so easily. Manchester City is not in perfect condition either. Our offense... will still have a chance." Mourinho thought through gritted teeth.
His calm attitude while sitting on the coaching bench gave the Chelsea players more courage, and soon they began to regroup and attack. However, Manchester City was indeed not in the best condition, and they still had problems with their running-in.
Getting better and better every day.
They quickly launched an attack. Adriano took the ball from the wing and forced a breakthrough but was destroyed by Barnes. Joe Cole took a corner kick and Alex scored a header in front of the goal.
When the game reached the 16th minute, Chelsea's midfielder played a very exquisite cooperation. Joe Cole received the ball and passed it to Lampard. Lampard knocked it to Mikel who came in.
, when Mikel got the ball, Drogba began to move laterally and took away Kompany. Adriano attracted Samuel's attention in the middle. Essien inserted from the back row. Mick
I sent a sharp direct pass to Essien who broke into the penalty area!
Barnes came over from the side, but was already a step too late. After receiving the ball, Essien picked up his right foot and shot hard!
The ball flew close to the ground towards the near corner of the goal. Faced with this close-range shot with a very good angle, Hart fell to the ground immediately, but he was still a step slower. The ball flew close to the near corner of the goal and into the Manchester City gate!
One to one draw! Six minutes after conceding the goal, Chelsea equalized the score! It was Mourinho's confidant Essien who scored the goal, and almost all of them played a role in this series of attacks.
Neo's direct descendant...
Mourinho waved his fist with the same force, and then sat down amidst the crazy shouts of Chelsea fans.
