Chapter 474 Now Is the Opportunity!

"This is the first goal of the Champions League final and the 11th goal of the Champions League this season. Torres will be the top scorer in the Champions League without a doubt. Manchester United's C-Ronaldo, the Portuguese has only scored 7 goals, he has no chance to score again!"

"Eleven goals interpret Torres's perfect performance in the Champions League, and it also confirms the excellence of Manchester City's entire team, because Torres' goals are by no means alone, just like the goal just now, Silva is also a hero. one."

"Don't forget, Manchester City also has a top scorer in the league sitting on the bench!"

"Perhaps only Manchester City has the luxury to put the league's top scorer on the bench..."

British BBC Sports TV commentator Lay - John expressed the voices of many people.

Darren Bent is the top scorer in the Premier League. The number of goals in the league is 6 more than that of second place C-Ronaldo, but now in the Champions League final, Darren Bent is sitting on the bench.

Thinking about it this way, Manchester City is a bit too extravagant.

But Darren Bent himself seemed to feel nothing, and when Torres scored, he also celebrated with the rest of his teammates.

Darren Bent must have some complaints in his heart for not being able to start in the Champions League final.

However, thinking that the coach is doing this to win, and that he has played a lot this season and is regarded as much as Torres, he doesn't have much thought.

The Champions League final is just a game no matter what, how can it compare to the performance of the previous season? What's more important than the team's victory in the final?

As long as the team can win this game, he will also get a Champions League medal, what is there to be dissatisfied with!

————

The celebration of the goal on the bench is over.

The substitutes have returned to their seats, but with excitement on their faces, all talking about goals and games.

Diamares was sitting next to Wansheng, he looked at the score on the scoreboard and sighed, "Wansheng, if you told me a few years ago that we would lead the team to the Champions League final, I must have felt that You're crazy!"

Wan Sheng listened.

"It seemed like a dream for the past few years, especially after coming to Manchester City. At that time, I was thinking about whether to stay in Derby County. I am so lucky to have walked out of there!"

"The Champions League final! And we're ahead, I can't believe it!"

Wan Sheng laughed, "You should have been prepared for a long time. We said at the beginning of the season that we must win all championships. Of course, the Champions League cannot be an exception!"

"You said it." Diamares rolled his eyes, "But isn't that a goal? A goal may not necessarily be achieved. I just thought you were there to boost the team's morale."

"Ha ha."

Wan Sheng laughed and said, "Gail, you still don't know me, I always do what I say."

Diamares rolled his eyes, "Don't put that on me about dealing with reporters."

"But I did, didn't I?"

Diamares was about to say something when Wan Sheng hurriedly added, "We did it."

Immediately, Diamares also laughed.

The Manchester City fans in the audience are still celebrating, these sounds are annoying to Chelsea, they feel depressed enough to concede a goal, but they have to suffer the 'devastation' of the Manchester City fans.

On the Chelsea coaching bench, the head coach Grant had a cold face.

Manchester City's leading situation really made him unable to show a steady expression. The game has been played so passively, and he was still thinking of ways to change the situation, but the opponent took the opportunity to complete the goal.

"asshole!"

How depressed Grant thinks, he is more worried about the situation of the game.

What the Israelis didn't know was that Abramovich, who was sitting next to the podium in a VIP box in the stadium, looked much colder than him.

There were fans who kept looking this way just now, but seeing Abramovich's performance, many people turned their heads subconsciously... It was a bit scary.

The Russian 'oligarch' is angry, which is really scary.

Abramovich was already very dissatisfied with the team's performance, and he did not expect Manchester City to complete the goal quickly.

The game is played so passively, and one goal behind, is there still a chance to win?

Like the Chelsea fans, Abramovich's confidence to win has dropped a lot, and his face has become colder.

He has already thought about it.

If he loses, the first thing he'll do is get the unskilled Israeli out of the way.

His Chelsea is not so spoiled!

————

Manchester City have returned to their own half after celebrating.

Both teams stood up and the game resumed.

With one goal behind, Chelsea is not demoralized. After all, this is the Champions League final. Every player knows that they must fight until the last minute. As long as there is a chance, they must seize it. What's more, they are only behind. A ball, if you try hard, it is likely to catch it back.

So after the game restarted, Chelsea's attack was a bit fiercer, and they hoped to tie the game as soon as possible.

This is quite normal, and the laggards tend to do so.

Chelsea is also very unwilling.

"Chelsea have not won against Manchester City in three seasons." This is not only a fact, but has also been quoted by many media to prove that it is unfavorable for Chelsea to play Manchester City.

But Chelsea players are very unwilling, they don't feel that their team is worse than Manchester City, and now the game is the Champions League, not the league, they hope to beat Manchester City in the Champions League.

The cheers of the fans in the audience also gave Chelsea enough pressure.

Before Manchester City completed the goal, there was more support for Chelsea, because Chelsea is Abramovich's team, most of the Russian fans support 'own' Chelsea, the pre-match media said 'Moscow belongs to Chelsea' Home ', in fact, is not an exaggeration.

But it was different after Manchester City scored.

Those Russian fans who were close to Chelsea because of Abramovich also began to support Manchester City, who played more beautifully and scored goals, so there was much less support for Chelsea.

Chelsea players are holding their breath and want to show something to prove something.

Chelsea's attack is indeed fierce, but unfortunately, Manchester City's lineup is very conservative.

Manchester City's offense is good, but it's only at the tactical level. In fact, Wansheng is still very conservative in the final, with Ljungberg on the wing, Ivan Crewe, Blumer in the middle, Morris and Silva in the middle, Manchester City's five midfielders are all good defensive players, with the exception of a poor defender Torres, the rest of the team is involved in the defense.

When Manchester City retreats to defend, they can definitely play a considerable role. Chelsea's offensive is always hindered. It is difficult for them to break through Manchester City's defense. When the football reaches Manchester City's feet, the rhythm just now came back... Manchester City began to keep falling, constantly passing and cooperating, Chelsea had to shrink the defense line to ensure the safety of the goal.

At this time, Manchester City has played the characteristics of the team - young, good at playing tailwinds.

There are too many young players in Manchester City, and young teams are often good at playing tailwinds. This is not only reflected in the offense, but also in the mental stability of the players after taking the lead.

When Manchester City took the lead, the pressure on the players was much less, and they played according to the arrangement.

Everyone was solid and they knew what to do when they got ahead.

Controlling the ball, stabilizing the line of defense, not rushing up to find opportunities, holding the opponent down, passing tentatively and waiting for the opportunity... These Wansheng have been talked about many times.

Manchester City did the same.

They have to use a stable line of defense, use the ball, and drag their opponents into the swamp, and the opponents will find that the more they struggle, the deeper they fall, and when they are honest, the victory belongs to the team.

When Manchester City kept possession of the ball, Chelsea naturally had to step up to press, and they had to grab the ball before they could attack.

However, Chelsea did it from the first minute of the game, and they still do it to this day.

This is not a big problem for Manchester City at all.

They have too much experience in "pressing". All they need to do is to keep moving, passing, moving, and passing. Players who can easily let the opponent press, can only keep following behind.

This is good for Manchester City.

People who passively follow and run must consume more physical energy and energy, because they need to judge how to follow and run, while those who take the initiative to run consume less physical energy.

The biggest blow to Chelsea was the dazzling cooperation of Manchester City.

It is common for Manchester City to play wonderful cooperation when they control the ball. They only need to speed up the passing speed and pass one foot after another, and it is easy to play wonderfully. This makes the fans excited and also has a huge morale on the opponent. blow.

In the face of Manchester City's dazzling pass, Chelsea players simply don't know how to grab the ball.

The game has been going on like this.

A few times in the middle, Chelsea also got the ball, but they were too eager to tie the game, and every time the ball hit the front, it was a long shot.

Soon Chelsea had more shots than Manchester City, but the score was still 1-0, and Manchester City was still the leading side.

Chelsea are desperate for a tie.

Drogba and Anelka were both at the top and didn't come back at all.

Lampard, who had just completed a long shot, also crossed the midline.

Makelele and Ballack were constantly fighting around the midline, trying to intercept Manchester City's pass.

A few midfield and frontcourt players were positioned at the front, and they also pulled Chelsea's formation very forward. Those who didn't know thought that Chelsea was attacking, but in fact, football was firmly controlled at the feet of Manchester City.

As time goes by and the break gets closer and closer, this scenario occurs more and more often.

Wan Sheng's mouth turned up involuntarily.

Chelsea are a little too anxious, have they forgotten that Manchester City is the best at fast break?

The situation of the game is actually not very favorable to Manchester City, because the advantage of a one-goal lead is not large. If there is a chance to score another goal, it is the most beneficial to the team.

Now is the opportunity.

Chelsea's back line is very empty. Wansheng believes that Maurice, Silva and other players on the field will see it clearly... (To be continued ~^~)
