Chapter 1537 A Slight Threat ([-])

Amidst the frenzied calls of the fans, the Manchester City players were clearly excited, so the game was full of gunpowder at the beginning of the game. Fernandinho pressed De Bruyne from behind, and he stepped on the Belgian. The latter fell to the ground in pain and left the field to receive treatment from the team doctor.

Although it was a free kick, it was too far away from the goal, and it was not within Ai Huan's range, so Cesc Fabregas took the penalty. Although his free kick was delivered to the opponent's penalty area, it was still easily passed by the opponent. Top out of the restricted area.

And Manchester City immediately launched a counterattack. Their counterattack was very direct, and they resolutely handed it over to David Silva, and then he completed the pass. Sure enough, Silva sent a precise direct pass. After Aguero quickly got rid of Cahill At close range, it was a pity that Marx blocked it with his legs, and Dzeko, who was ambushing on the right side of the penalty area, followed up with a shot slightly wide of the far corner. Manchester City almost got a fantastic start.

A minute later Silva sent a direct pass to Aguero again, but this time Ivanovic made a key interception, and he broke the football one step ahead.

In the 6th minute, Silva broke through the wing and entered the penalty area. Marcos touched the ball with his elbow when he slid the tackle, but the referee did not say anything, but the audience booed immediately. It was an undoubted penalty, and if the referee didn't award it, it would be a black whistle.

Manchester City's offense is indeed surprising. Their crazy offense and defense really make it impossible for Chelsea's midfield to play at all, which also makes Chelsea look very passive.

But Chelsea has a monster like Ai Huan, who can always do incredible things at incredible times.Just 2 minutes later, Stones dribbled the ball on the edge of Manchester City's penalty area, and did not take the first kick, but Ai Huan suddenly rushed up. He was like a ghost, full of threats at all times.

Stones was covered in cold sweat from fright at this moment. It's not that he didn't know how powerful Ai Huan was, so even though Fuchs was interfering with Ai Huan at this moment, he still didn't dare to make a big deal out of it. Instead, he immediately chose to A cross, but obviously this time the pass was very low-level, and the football was passed directly to Diego Costa.

Diego Costa immediately forced a breakthrough into the penalty area, but fortunately at this time Laporta and Gundogan had surrounded him in the first place. No matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to break through two world-class defensive players at the same time, so He can only choose to pass back.

It's a pity that this time the return pass is also a bit irresponsible. The power of the pass is too small. Mata has just accelerated and is still some distance away from the football, but at this time Laporta has already inserted it quickly and kicked the football out. On the touchline, Manchester City also escaped a fatal threat.

Guardiola seemed very angry. He yelled on the sidelines. The content was that Stones hesitated a little. This almost gave Ai Huan a chance. It would be a huge danger to play against such a player. If you can't face it squarely, then Manchester City will lose miserably. This is no joke.

In the 10th minute, the football was handed over to Ai Huan again. Ai Huan and Fuchs had played against each other several times, so they also knew the opponent's defensive characteristics, so they didn't speed up immediately but stopped suddenly. Fuchs, who was already ready to go, couldn't help being stunned, while Ai Huan had already started at high speed and was directly accelerating to change direction. The moment he passed Fuchs, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he was waiting for Fuchs It seems like a foul on yourself.

Of course, Fuchs is not the first to experience this style of play. He made the stance of wanting to tackle the ball almost instantly, but he also stopped his action abruptly in an instant. Even if Ai Huan rushed in, he could not give him The chance of a free kick, this is Guardiola's instruction to Fuchs.

Sure enough, under no one's interference, Ai Huan didn't intend to move forward again, but passed the ball directly to Mata. This time, Mata fell directly into the penalty area after being blocked from breaking through the penalty area. The ball was pulled out, and Diego Costa, who followed up next to him, did not shoot the ball immediately when he got the ball in the penalty area. At this time, Stones had already come over, and the two fell as soon as they touched Diego Costa. He fell to the ground, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick, he just made a gesture to continue the game.

Diego Costa looked very angry sitting on the ground. He thought that Stones had moved his hands while defending, but this kind of appeal was meaningless, at least the referee didn't even look at him at this time.

However, this foul also completely angered Chelsea, and their actions began to increase. No. 12 minutes Cahill kicked Aguero from the side when he destroyed Manchester City's counterattack. The referee still did not make a penalty, but all The fans booed everywhere, but Cahill didn't care, instead he made a posture that Aguero was flopping.

Two minutes later, Manchester City played with fire again in the backyard. This time De Bruyne passed the ball into the penalty area, but Laporta made a header error and gave the ball directly to Cesc Fabregas. The Spanish general seized the opportunity at the top of the arc. He took a long shot, but unfortunately the football slipped on the left side of the post and missed the goal. Chelsea missed the goal again.

No. In the 15th minute, Manchester City's counterattack hit Chelsea's penalty area, but this time Aguero wanted to hit the center and was destroyed by Marcos in time.At this time, the two sides are basically tied, and the chances are slightly more for Chelsea. After all, there will still be some problems involving Manchester City's defense in the frontcourt. Fortunately, Manchester City's defense is still relatively solid at this time. And their counterattack was also very impressive, which also made the fans at the scene acceptable.

But soon Manchester City's chance came. No.16 minutes Gundogan made a low pass from the left. Aguero got rid of the two Chelsea central defenders and shot low from [-] yards. Fortunately, Petr Cech bravely saved the ball.

After 1 minute, David Silva made a cross from the right, and Aguero made a low shot from [-] yards, but was saved by Cech again.At this time, Mourinho seemed to be dissatisfied with the team's start performance, and he had already stood up and directed from the sidelines.

In fact, it seems that Chelsea is not in danger yet, but Mourinho also feels a little threat. Although it is not strong, it still makes him have to look at David Silva again. Coming to Matic, he can't control him at all, and this is not good news for Chelsea.

However, Mourinho is still very relieved about the current staffing on the field. If this lineup cannot break through the opponent, then even if it is replaced, it will be of little use.
