Chapter 1314 Weakness ([-])

This ball was also a very serious blow to Manchester City. They all thought that they had already taken advantage of luck, but they didn't expect that they just gave the opponent a small chance, and the opponent immediately regained the lead. This kind of blow really made them Kind of unacceptable for a short period of time.

But at this time Mancini seemed to have a sudden inspiration. He also called his team members and explained his thoughts to them, "We must hold them back and hit them. As long as they change, we will have a chance. Chelsea’s biggest weakness is their substitute.” This was Mancini’s last resort, but he didn’t make it clear. He originally wanted to say that it would be best to use lethal tactics to get Ai Huan off the field, but if such words It would be really shameless to say it. As a champion coach, he couldn't say such a tactic, so in the end he changed his statement.

However, there are still some Manchester City players who see him as the leader, so even if this sentence is not clear at all, it can still be understood by a few people immediately, but the problem is that Ai Huan does not hold the ball for a long time. It was spread out at the first time, and once he ran, let alone foul, no one could catch up with him, so how could he foul?But if you go up and kick him when he doesn't have the ball, then everyone will stop playing. This kind of foul may be banned for life. The price is too high, so everyone puts the target on other people body.

No. In the 30th minute, Manchester City's attack was very anxious. A mistake in the football pass was snatched by Ivanovic. Rodwell did not hesitate to uproot Ivanovic.In fact, this is a relatively common tactical foul, because when one side is attacking with all its strength, it is very likely that the opponent will counterattack, so tactical fouls can be tolerated, but this time the referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card .

Because from his experienced referee's point of view, the foul just now seemed very vicious. It was not like an ordinary tactical foul at all, but more like venting anger. It will become worse, and then there will really be big problems in the following games.

And this time the yellow card really had a very good effect, because everyone in Manchester City immediately noticed the result, that is, I am afraid that I have not sent the opponent off, so I went off first, so the foul tactics on the field have not yet started. It's over.

In the next game, Manchester City focused on the game again, and their positional battle was also very good. After No. 301 minutes, Clichy made a pass from the left, and Rodwell headed the goal over the crossbar. No. 303 minutes, Manchester City got a corner kick, Silva found Rodwell for a corner kick on the right, but Cech saved the ball immediately.

The football was immediately passed to the frontcourt by Lampard. After getting the ball, Ai Huan obliquely stuffed the football into the penalty area without any nonsense. This pass was like a scalpel, easily cutting the opponent's defense line , and Lukaku immediately turned around and volleyed, and the football flew into the lower left corner of the goal without hindrance.But before the fans could react, the line referee had already raised the flag. It turned out that Lukaku was offside just now, and if he hadn't insisted on attacking, De Bruyne on the other side had also reached the designated position. The same shot can rewrite the score.

After wasting this opportunity, Chelsea continued to deal with Manchester City in a defensive and counterattack style. However, Manchester City also felt the threat of Ai Huan. Showing the courage to attack is always very weak.

Fortunately, Manchester City's midfielder is still very combative. No.309 Minutes Milner made a direct pass, Aguero returned from the left side of the penalty area, and Zabaleta volleyed and was cleared by Marcos with a header.

No. Chelsea counterattacked in the 40th minute. Kolo Toure swept Mata down in the midfield and was yellow again. However, Lampard's free kick was directly destroyed by the opponent. The football was quickly handed over to the frontcourt. The shot was lifted out of the crossbar again by Cech.Silva took a right corner kick, and Rodwell's header was once again confiscated by Cech.

No. In 403 minutes, Zabaleta uprooted Cole and received another yellow card. Lampard's low-level free kick was cleared again. After that, neither team had a better chance until the end of the first half.

During the intermission, Mourinho immediately expressed his thoughts to his players, "They obviously want to intercept our pass, so that we cannot hand the football to Ai Huan. It seems that they have run out of skills. Although this kind of midfielder's continuous foul play seems to be effective, it is actually playing with fire. They have already received three yellow cards in the first half. If they continue to use this tactic in the next game, Then the result is that they will easily have one less man to fight, and then they can only retreat from the front line. So I ask you to continue to take the ball more in the second half, and give the football to Ai Huan whenever there is a chance, let him organize the attack , and Ai Huan can do without the ball, you can also, well, you can figure it out, anyway, it’s still the same sentence, you can play according to your ideas on the field, you have unlimited fire rights, and you also have the ability to change tactics Right, you are the head coach on the field."

If these words appear in other places or are said to others, then there will be many discordant voices in the locker room, at least these voices will definitely appear in the hearts of these players, but Mourinho said it Afterwards, no one felt a little strange in their hearts, as if it was a matter of course in their eyes, Ai Huan itself was a huge bug, and he was a person who could kill the game at any time. Privilege, that is too unreasonable.

"Okay, let's keep playing like this, the victory must belong to us!"

And just as they were waiting, Mancini was also saying the same thing, "We can no longer continue foul tactics. Such tactics are not worth the candle for us. Today's referee has already stared at us. His whistle is getting worse and worse. The more ruthless, I think he has seen our thoughts. In the second half we have to change our tactics and we have to attack with all our strength."

"Attack with all your strength? But what about our defense?" Someone immediately asked.

Mancini waved his hand violently, his face full of determination, "It doesn't matter, if you lose one, you lose, and if you lose eight, you lose. Let's give it a go."
