Chapter 620 The difference between the national team and the club
Chelsea launched a fierce offensive in the away game. Robinho and Anelka kept dribbling the ball from the wing and then cutting across the center to launch attacks. On the football field, the threat in the center is naturally the greatest, after all, it is closer.
However, this approach makes it easier for Manchester City to defend, especially since the two of them frequently move closer to the center, which virtually compresses the space for Lampard, Ballack and even Drogba to move, making Manchester City's defense more difficult.
More targeted.
After withstanding Chelsea's onslaught for more than ten minutes, Manchester City began to counterattack. Their counterattack was relatively simple. Ribery was the bridgehead of their attack, and others supported them in the center and back.
Although he had just played two games for the national team, Ribery seemed to be in pretty good shape. He continued to launch attacks from the left, suppressing Bosingwa's ability to assist.
When the game progressed to the 37th minute, a situation that made Manchester City fans cheer again occurred. After receiving Deco's pass from the wing, Ribery broke through Bosingwa's defense like lightning, and then passed the ball
Passed to the center, Torres received the ball, paused for a moment and quickly distributed the ball to Benzema who was running in from the wing.
Torres's kick was quite beautiful. Cole was attracted by Alves who was advancing to assist. Benzema took the ball at the edge of the penalty area. There was only one defensive player left in front of him, Chelsea's captain Terry.
.
When Terry came up to him, Benzema quickly made a fake move of riding a bicycle. When Terry's center of gravity was slightly shifted, he immediately dunked the ball in the direction and drove the ball over!
"Oh! Benzema broke through Terry's defense! He broke into the penalty area and faced Cech directly!"
Amid the exclamations of the commentator and the crazy shouts of Manchester City fans, relying on an unexpected fake move, Benzema dodged Terry's defense. After breaking into the penalty area, facing the attacking Cech, Benzema decisively
Take the first shot!
The ball flew close to the ground towards the near corner of the goal. Cech fell to the ground, but he was still a step slower. The ball rolled under his arm and then flew into the Chelsea gate!
"GOOOOOOOAL! The ball is scored! Benzema! Benzema! His first official goal for Manchester City! The young Benzema showed his ability when facing Chelsea. This goal
So beautiful! Torres' timely distribution of the ball allowed him to face Terry directly, and then Benzema broke through Terry's defense with a beautiful breakthrough and scored the goal! Dick spent 27 million pounds before
When he bought Benzema at a price, many people thought that the price he paid was too high. But now it seems that such a price is not high. At least in such a game, Benzema proved it with goals.
Know your own strength!"
Benzema rushed to the stands with open arms, and then waved his fists at the stands. The Manchester City fans in the stands also shouted his name loudly and gave a huge cheer for his goal.
Dick waved his fist. Compared with Chelsea's offense, Manchester City showed much more flexibility in this goal. It combined the side and the center and pulled back and forth. The opponent's defense could not complement each other. In a one-on-one situation
Defenders always suffer. Even a top defender like Terry can hardly defend an offensive player of the same level in a one-on-one situation.
This has nothing to do with strength, because there are various offensive possibilities, and more effort will be required to defend.
Benzema's goal allowed Manchester City to enter the second half with a lead. After conceding a goal first, Manchester City completed the lead before the end of the first half, which greatly improved their confidence.
—After all, when facing Chelsea, there are only a few teams that can quickly overtake even though they are falling behind.
Scolari looked annoyed when he returned to the dressing room. He ordered Robinho and Anelka to move more on the wings, while asking Drogba to drop deep and let Lampard and Ballack
Get more forward penetration opportunities.
And Dick just asked in the locker room to continue doing this in the second half, strengthen the defense in the middle, and prevent them from cutting into the penalty area from the wings. For players like Robinho and Anelka, they
Their crosses are far less of a threat than their breakthroughs.
Scolari's adjustments in the locker room still played a certain role. Shortly after the start of the second half, they completed the attack through a beautiful combination of wing and center and back row insertion. Mikel and Ballack passed consecutive passes.
After receiving the ball, Lampard distributed the ball to the wing. After Anelka took the ball, he knocked the ball back to the center again. Drogba attracted Kompany away. Lampard already received the ball.
He walked into the penalty area. Facing Samuel's defense, he spiked the ball to avoid a shooting gap, and then quickly volleyed the lower corner of the goal with his right foot in the penalty area!
Hart struggled to save the ball but failed to save it. Chelsea equalized the score shortly after the start of the second half!
After scoring the goal, Lampard raised his hands to the sky. The other Chelsea players swarmed up, surrounded Lampard in the middle, and celebrated the goal!
After this goal, the two sides returned to the same starting line again. For the fans at the scene, this game has been very exciting so far. However, if there is no winner, no matter which side it is, it will be more regretful.
.
In such a stranglehold, Manchester City began to rely more on counterattacks to launch attacks, while Chelsea mainly carried out suppressive attacks on the road. For Scolari, he believes that the current situation is very beneficial to them.
, as long as he continues to attack, he is very likely to win the game in one go. However, he ignored one thing. Chelsea's defense is not very fast, especially when the two full-backs are constantly attacking.
When attacking...
Under the pressure of Yaya Toure and Parker, Mikel made a mistake. His return pass failed to reach the right position. Instead, Torres intercepted the ball midway. After intercepting the ball, Torres basically
Already forming a single shot, he quickly moved the ball forward and was about to break through!
As the last line of defense, Terry rushed over from the side. With no choice, he knocked down Torres with his hands and feet - this approach naturally earned him the punishment he deserved, and the referee directly issued a warning to him
Received a red card, Terry was sent off!
In the 70th minute of the game, Chelsea started the battle with ten men!
A substitution quota had been used up before, with Malouda replacing Drogba, who had recently recovered from injury. Scolari, who had Anelka playing center, was forced to make a second substitution. Brazilian defender A
Rais came on the field and replaced Anelka - Anelka seemed very dissatisfied with this substitution. After all, his performance in this game was not bad, but at this time he became the victim.
Not to mention Anelka himself has a weird temper, even a person with a normal temper would not be able to stand it...
Anelka walked directly into the tunnel after coming off the field. He did this not once or twice. Scolari did not bother to understand Anelka's mood, but continued to pay attention.
The game on the field.
Dick smiled slightly when he saw this scene. After all, Scolari was still a little petty. In fact, under such circumstances, it is normal to replace a forward. Malouda has just come on, so he should not be replaced.
Next, between Anelka and Robinho, the one who should be replaced is Robinho. Even if he just scored a goal, it is because of Anelka's impact and position as a center forward.
Want to look even better! However, Scolari replaced Anelka. In addition to seeing Robinho score, another factor is probably that he introduced Robinho, and he is
His fellow Brazilian, Anelka moved to Chelsea last season...
Such a little idea naturally seems a bit silly. You must know that the relationship in the club's locker room is much more complicated than that of the national team. At least if you are dissatisfied with a player in the national team, you can not recruit him, and there will be no impact.
It will be very big. However, in the club, even if you don’t use a player, he still has a contract with the club. If there are complaints, it will affect the atmosphere in the entire locker room. I guess Scolari didn’t think so about this.
The depth of...
Now that they had a numerical advantage, the whole situation was reversed. Manchester City began to press Chelsea into their own half. Chelsea, with one less player, now had no counterattack power.
Drogba and Anelka, the top attackers at the front, left the field one after another. Malouda could only roam on the wing. Robinho, no matter how good his skills were, was unable to attack Manchester City because of his thin body.
What a threat it created. Under such circumstances, Manchester City's offense began to become more unscrupulous!
A very simple thing, if your counterattack makes your opponent have nothing to fear, then the opponent's attack will start to become more fierce and more confident, making your defense more difficult!
No matter how good Chelsea's defense is, it can't withstand such a fierce attack. Especially after Terry left the field, their defense also lost a core strength. Manchester City continued to break through the opponent's defense on both wings. Dick even replaced Bell with
Bell replaced Deco to strengthen the impact of the wings and the ability to grab points in the middle. Under such an attack, even if Chelsea's defense is dense, there are times when it is sparse!
When the game reached the 83rd minute, Manchester City took the lead for the second time in the game. This was also a goal that sealed the victory.
The goal itself is very simple. Manchester City's best offensive partner teamed up to complete the goal. Ribery, who switched to the right, used a series of fake moves and speed to get rid of Cole's defense, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.
Inside, Torres grabbed the ball before Alex made a clearance and scored the ball into the gate guarded by Cech. However, the reason why there was such an easy goal was because Manchester City's previous offense had exposed Chelsea's defense.
flaw!
Amid the cheers of the Manchester City fans, Dick stood up and waved his arms. On the other side, Scolari kept his mouth tightly closed and did not say a word. He lost this game.
After a good start, he lost. Dick, who was much younger than him, taught him a lesson. Scolari, who had won all the first three rounds, began to feel that there is indeed a huge difference between the club and the national team.
difference.
Manchester City, who won the game with all their main players, began their celebration and rest. Next, they will face the challenge of the Champions League. This is their first time since returning to the Premier League. For this game,
Everyone at Manchester City also holds great hopes!
