It's cheating, but Hazard

Chapter 290 Blue Moon and White Moonlight (I)

Although he had anticipated this, Tevez couldn't help but sigh when the ball really hit the net.

Not far away, Yaya Toure put his hands on his hips.

Both have left Barca this season, but Charles is still as good as ever.

After the celebration, Manchester City restarted the game.

Mancini on the sidelines kept making various gestures to direct the players' movements.

Soon, as Tevez kicked the ball out, the situation on the field became chaotic again.

Under the pressure of Charles, Sabaletta received the ball again, sweating profusely. He made the most conservative choice without hesitation and passed the ball back to goalkeeper Joe Hart.

But Chelsea was relentless.

At the moment Zabaleta passed the ball, Drogba, who was guarding the middle, also rushed towards the ball.

Joe Hart didn't dare to take any risks and could only speed up.

Just as Drogba arrived at the front point, Joe Hart had just received the ball.

Without time to make any adjustments, Joe Hart kicked the ball with the inside of his left foot.

"Snapped--"

The ball drew a dazzling arc in the air and quickly passed through half the court.

Yaya Toure and Alex rushed towards the landing point of the ball at the same time, and finally the ball was successfully headed to De Jong during the competition between the two.

De Jong stopped the ball steadily with his left foot and waited for a while.

Just as Milner rushed up from the wing, De Jong quickly knocked the ball outwards with the outside of his foot.

"call out."

Milner strode along the wing, and Ashley Cole rushed over immediately after determining the position of his teammates.

Charles was also retreating synchronously, but not too close.

As the distance between Milner and Cole grew closer, both of them slowed down at the same time.

Cole lowered his center of gravity and stared closely at Milner who was approaching and De Jong who was on the sidelines.

After trying it, he found that he couldn't shake Cole's center of gravity at all, and Tevez in the middle had already lurked near the front point.

"Milner eventually chose to pass the ball... but the ball was intercepted."

"The ball bounced towards Milner again, and Cole and Ramires also rushed towards the ball at the same time."

"Beautiful! Ramirez got a step ahead and passed the ball to Cole with his heel. Milner turned around awkwardly. De Jong wanted to steal the ball, but Cole dribbled past De Jong's foot."

After shaking off De Jong, Cole passed the ball to Mikel without hesitation.

Mikel only acted as a transit station. The moment the ball came, he transferred the ball away instantly.

The moment they saw Charles turn around, Milner and De Jong subconsciously moved, but just a second later, they widened their eyes again.

After turning around, Charles did not make any adjustments. Although he was at least 50 meters away from Manchester City's goal, he shot right away.

The knife or dagger has no intention to kill people, so why do turtles and ghosts still feel resentful?

"call out--"

Jorhat was shocked.

As England's goalkeeper, his professionalism is of course indispensable.

He has studied his opponents in every game, but there is a saying that goes, even if you check the weather forecast countless times before going out, the heavy rain in life will still hit you unexpectedly.

The ball was moving fast and sharply, Joe Hart stared at the ball and once again entered that mysterious realm.

Driven by adrenaline, everything suddenly seemed to go into slow motion.

Joe Hart just stretched out towards the ball.

"boom!"

The ball hit Joe Hart's palm and eventually bounced out of the baseline.

"Oh, Charles almost succeeded in his sneak attack just now. Joe Hart's performance was too good just now."

"In previous matches, Charles rarely chose long shots."

"This time, Manchester City pressed too hard. When he received the ball, although all the Manchester City players rushed towards him, there were too few defensive players in front of him."

"Chelsea corner."

Charles took the initiative to walk to the corner area.

Joe Hart started swearing as soon as he stood up.

"Fuck, what were you guys doing just now? Did you go shopping? You scared me to death just now. If you do this again next time, the ball will go in. Damn, can you not press so hard next time? Why don't you stay and chat with me?"

Zabaleta smiled awkwardly and said, "I won't do it next time. I won't do it next time. Don't worry. We are here for you."

It’s not scary if the goalkeeper swears, what’s scary is if the goalkeeper doesn’t swear.

Generally speaking, there is a special water cup for the goalkeeper next to the goal post so that he can replenish water at any time.

Although goalkeepers run less, they are easily thirsty because their attention is always highly concentrated.

Another reason is that the goalkeeper will scold the defenders and direct the defense from time to time.

Joe Hart carefully observed Charles's actions and adjusted the positions of Manchester City's defenders according to the positions of Chelsea players on the field.

With a whistle, Charles aimed at the front point, and in an instant, the ball flew towards Drogba's head like a precision-guided missile.

Seeing that Tevez might fail in the header, Kolo Toure, Yaya Toure and others rushed towards the goal from the left and right.

Joe Hart lowered his center of gravity and tensed his muscles.

Come on horseback!
I, England goalkeeper Joe Hart, am ready.

In the next second, Drogba's behavior surprised Joe Hart and Tevez.

Charles had already rushed into the field, and at the same time, the ball was passed to the back point by Drogba's reverse header.

Malouda, who was guarding the back post without anyone guarding him, drew his bow and shot an arrow.

"call out!"

Just as Manchester City's crowded penalty area was filled with players, Malouda made a feint and the ball turned in the air.

De Jong turned, but the cruel reality often did not give him any chance.

Charles kicked the ball with the outside of his foot, and with the sound of Joe Hart's click, the ball flew towards the promised land in its heart, following the arc of the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaping the breathing sounds of all the Manchester City players.

Kolo Toure turned around and rushed towards the goal again, and Joe Hart fell to the ground and dived sideways at the first opportunity, but the ball did not give them any face and flew straight into the upper right corner.

"2:0, Chelsea 2:0 Manchester City."

"It was another tactical corner kick. Chelsea took advantage of everyone's habitual thinking. Everyone thought Drogba would head the ball after receiving Charles' precise pass at the front point, but Drogba did the opposite and headed the ball!"

"After everyone thought Malouda was just a player watching from outside the penalty area, Malouda once again completed his transformation."

"To lure the snake out of its hole is to build a warehouse in secret."

"After there was less crowding in the Manchester City penalty area, Charles made the final move and sent the ball into the dead corner of Manchester City."

"Manchester City spent a lot of money on signings this summer, but there is also a science to paying back money."

"You can't expect to see results just by spending money. Excellent players are so scarce, and you may not be able to buy them even if you have money."

"Manchester City fans in the stands already had tears in their eyes."

"In Manchester City, there are far more Manchester United fans than Manchester City fans."

"For a long time, a small number of Manchester City fans have taken supporting Manchester City as a normal thing."

"If they want to pursue honor, they can choose to support Manchester United." "But Mansour's signings gave them hope, and behind the hope came even stronger desolation."

Charles ran to the away stand and opened his arms with a smile.

Drogba, Malouda, Ramires and others rushed to Charles one after another.

Mikel, who arrived a step late, put his hands on Malouda's shoulders. After lifting himself up, he immediately changed hands and finally hung his whole body on Charles' back.

“That goal was awesome!”

Malouda quickly withdrew his hand and nervously stretched out his hand to stop him from behind.

"Be careful, be careful..."

Charles' celebration soon came to an end.

As the Chelsea players returned to their own half, no matter what Tevez felt in his heart, he finally kicked the ball out reluctantly.

However, after opening their scoring accounts again, Chelsea players became unusually active.

Tevez had just passed the ball back to the defense for reorganization when Chelsea's trident of Drogba, Charles and Malouda rushed up and continued to interfere with Manchester City's players.

Kompany took a step back and kept retreating, looking at Drogba who was getting closer and closer and Charles who was not far in front of Klopp, and finally he could only take the risk and pass the ball to Barry.

However, just as Barry received the ball, Malouda rushed over.

Mikel, who didn't dare to take any risks, shook his ankle and the ball was instantly transferred away.

It was fast, but as soon as the ball came out of his wolf's den, he passed it back to the tiger's den.

As soon as Kolo received the ball, Charles and Drogba rushed towards him at the same time.

Kompany retreated again, trying to leave more space for Colo, but the scheming Colo didn't care about that and could only pass the ball back to the goalkeeper again.

As for Kompany?
No, he was still too close, not safe enough.

Joe Hart cursed in his heart and rushed over to clean up Chloe's mess.

He tried his best but failed to catch the ball before it went out of bounds, so he passed it with great force.

Joe Hart kicked the ball angrily, and the ball flew out of the sideline without any accuracy.

"Beep——"

The referee blew the whistle, took a look at Joe Hart, and finally just awarded a corner kick without giving Joe Hart a verbal warning.

"This is the second consecutive corner kick Chelsea have had, and this was just moments after the kick-off."

"Think about the last goal, which was scored directly from a tactical corner kick. This time, after the kick-off, Manchester City was too panicked. Kolo passed the ball too far and the goalkeeper didn't catch up in the end."

"Okay, it's still Ciel who's heading for the corner."

With a whistle, Charles made a short pass to Ramirez who was not far in front of him.

Milner realized something and rushed out at the same time as De Jong. On the other side, after learning from previous experience, the remaining Manchester City players all retreated into the penalty area.

The Chelsea players who were already in the penalty area were in chaos near the front point.

Ramirez ignored Milner and passed the ball back to Charles again as originally planned.

Charles sprinted diagonally without stopping the ball, but volleyed it directly into the air.

The autumn colors are as cold as a knife, and the sour wind blows like raging waves.

The ball flew low, trying to land over Drogba's head, but the situation at the front point was too chaotic, and in the end the ball was sent away by Tevez who stepped forward.

Charles turned around immediately, but this time, Tevez seemed to have used up all his strength, and the ball flew out of the sideline in the first time.

"It was a tactic. Charles passed the ball, but it was still too difficult to pass it in. Tevez was still too strong."

Charles quickly walked out of bounds and wiped the ball thrown by the caddy with his clothes.

He stood still, raised his hands, and finally threw the ball to Ramirez.

After Ramirez received the ball, Manchester City players returned to their original formation, with Milner and Zabaleta guarding carefully in front of Charles.

Ramirez took a look at Charles, and finally passed the ball back to other players in the midfield to slowly organize the game.

After a few passes, the ball soon came to Essien's feet.

The moment he received the ball, Essien felt his whole body was filled with strength.

Manchester City players still wanted to intercept, but Essien did not rush forward, but transferred the ball to Malouda's feet.

Boyata couldn't help swallowing when he saw Malouda eager to try.

I couldn't help but comfort myself that at least Malouda was easier to defend than Charles.

Malouda flicked the ball with his feet, and just when Boyata slowed down by a second, he kicked the ball with the outside of his left foot.

"call out--"

The ball crossed almost half the distance of the field and accurately found Ramirez.

Finally, after Ramirez and Cole made a wall-to-wall pass, De Jong, who had come up to defend, was passed again.

Ramirez looked at Charles not far away and passed the ball to him again without hesitation.

Zabaleta rushed forward at the first moment, but Charles just shook his ankle lightly, and the ball disappeared from his sight again like a magic trick.

Zabaleta quickly turned around and saw Drogba sprinting with the ball!

Colo and Kompany rushed towards Drogba at the same time. Under Kompany's restriction, Drogba could only dribble the ball horizontally. Finally, just when the three were about to rush to the bottom line, Drogba shot.

"Snapped!"

Before Joe Hart could make any defensive move, the ball was cleared away by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Colo.

"Chelsea's third corner opportunity."

"In fact, giving away so many corner kicks is enough to prove one thing, that is, Manchester City's defense was not very good today."

Charles once again walked towards the corner area.

Kompany held Drogba's arm as he watched Charles' actions.

Joe Hart muttered nervously.

But none of the players around him could understand what he was saying.

Zabaleta quickly wiped the sweat off his face.

In such a tense and exciting atmosphere, the referee blew his whistle again.

"call out!"

Charles took another corner kick, Drogba, who was standing in front, jumped up immediately, and Kompany, who felt the change, also jumped up at the first moment.

But the ball was not headed forward at all, and Drogba's jump was just a feint.

By the time they reacted, Malouda had already stopped the ball under his feet again.

Boyata and Yaya Toure quickly ran towards Malouda, but Malouda also feinted a few times in front of them and then transferred the ball to them again with the outside of his foot.

Essien received the ball at the top of the penalty area and ran. As soon as the Manchester City players ran back to the penalty area, Essien passed the ball back to Charles again.

The ball comes.

Charles started to shoot.

The north wind blows the snow through the sword scars, and it is even colder at the Great Wall Cave where horses drink.

"call out!"

Zabaleta wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything.

Joe Hart hadn't landed yet, but the ball had already flown into the net again.
