Eight Hundred and Fourteenth Lore!

On the afternoon of December 10th, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London.

In the fifteenth round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged Chelsea away.

In the seventy-eighth minute of the game, Lampard stood in front of Manchester City's penalty area, facing the German goalkeeper Neuer who was on the verge of a formidable enemy. He quickly ran up and shot calmly, It was done overnight and equalized the score for Chelsea.

The whole Stamford Bridge is boiling!

One to one!

Manchester City, which led for more than an hour, was finally pulled back to the same starting line.

Gao Shen helplessly shook his head in front of the coach of the visiting team.

Or Jerome Boateng!

This kid is really...

...

At the very beginning of the game, Manchester City played a frantic attack, and in the seventh minute, David Silva sent a precise through ball, and Suarez forced the ball from between the two central defenders. Passed and waded through the attacking goalkeeper Petr Cech to open the scoring for Manchester City.

No matter how you look at it, this is a great start!

Subsequently, Chelsea really grasped the defense tightly, allowing Manchester City's offense to fail again and again.

When the Blues are determined to defend, it is very difficult for anyone to break through their formation.

The game was deadlocked until the second half.

After consecutive substitutions and adjustments, both sides failed to get a good chance.

Manchester City controlled the ball, with a possession rate of 65.3%, and twice as many shots as Chelsea, reaching 16 times, but only four shots were on goal.

Gao Shen feels that the Manchester City players are still in good condition and their footwork is relatively smooth, but such efficiency is mainly caused by Chelsea's defensive oppression.

After all, under high pressure, players' technical movements will inevitably be out of shape, and the accuracy is difficult to grasp.

Otherwise, with the technical ability of the players, it is really possible to kick a football game out of a volleyball game.

The focus of Gao Shen's game is to attack Ashley Cole.

Chelsea's left-back is still in good condition, but he will soon be 31 years old, and his physical fitness will inevitably decline. In such a high-intensity game, he is somewhat weak.

But Manchester City's right winger Luo's body energy is almost exhausted.

Playing in December, it is multi-line battle again. Although Manchester City's rotation is very thorough, but a player like Robben is not particularly advantageous in terms of physical fitness. It is still very difficult to keep him on the court. dangerous.

Thinking of this, Gao Shen turned around and gestured to Carlo. The latter understood and got up and walked to the bench.

Manchester City has used two substitutions, this will be the third time.

On Chelsea's side, all three substitutions have been used up.

Immediately, Sturridge, who was sitting on the bench, got up and ran out to warm up. After a while, he ran back and stood beside Gao Shen.

"Daniel, after you go up, replace Robben."

Sturridge kept nodding.

The 22-year-old has made rapid progress in Gao Shen's hands, and even performed very eye-catching at one point, and is now one of the most important rotation players.

He also really admired Gao Shen, after all, it was Gao Shen who promoted him from the youth team.

"Ashley Cole is already struggling to face Robben, and the consumption must be very high. After you go up, try to charge more, and try to open a breakthrough from Ashley Cole on this side. .”

"Understood." Sturridge nodded in agreement.

"Tell them, don't fight with Invanovic and Terry, let Rakitic press Romeu more, come in more, if you make a breakthrough on the wing, we will come in behind. "

Gao Shen noticed that the central defender combination of Terry and Invanovic performed very well tonight, and Lampard and Drogba also played chicken blood.

None of this was beyond his expectations.

As he estimated before the game, a coaching change is like a knife change. Once Boas left, Chelsea players, especially Lampard, Terry and Drogba, the three veterans who were at odds with Boas, All of a sudden they acted extremely bravely.

They need to show an attitude to guarantee their position and playing time, and even the chance to stay at Chelsea.

Except for the surprise battle after the opening game, Suarez failed to take advantage of Terry and Invanovic throughout the game.

This is also normal, after all, these two are not vegetarians.

Therefore, the advanced strategy is to contain Invanovich and Terry and play in the back row.

He replaced David Silva with Rakitic before, and now the Croatian midfielder is very physically fit, plus a Sturridge.

"If possible, after going up, cut inside first, look for an opportunity and then try to go outside." Gao Shen thought of it temporarily and reminded.

Robben plays right winger with his left foot, and Sturridge also plays right winger with his left foot.

This makes it easy for Ashley Cole, who has adapted to defending Robben, to develop an inertia.

After all, staring inside is not the same as staring outside.

"Understood." Sturridge agreed emphatically.

...

Robben was quickly replaced by Sturridge.

The English teenager's performance in Manchester City is also obvious to all. He has made great progress and has entered the England national team.

And he came up with profound instructions, which also made Chelsea fans worried.

DiMatteo even walked to the sidelines and called on the players to pay attention to Sturridge.

Chelsea's midfielders have to come back a little bit, not only Romeu, but also Ramires and Lampard, have to actively come back to protect the defense.

A draw with Manchester City at home is not a good score, but for the new coach Di Matteo, this result is okay. After all, Manchester City's strength this season is really strong.

But Manchester City's offense is not vegetarian.

Gao Shen first used Gareth Bale to attack Bosingwa's right, and after being unable to attack for a long time in the second half, he replaced Gareth Bale with Eden Hazard. The Belgian winger's dribbling ability will be more useful in tough battles .

Afterwards, Manchester City's tactics became that Hazard dribbled the ball on the left to attract defensive attention, and then transferred it out.

The same goes for Sturridge's first touch after coming on.

Hazard dribbled the ball in from the left and, after drawing the attention of the defense, passed it to Rakitic.

The Croatian midfielder was assigned to the right again. Sturridge stopped the ball with the instep of his left foot at the front of the penalty area and turned to the left, just avoiding Ashley Cole. .

The whole process was done in one go, without the slightest sloppiness, which made Ashley Cole unable to react in time.

But the shot hit Invanovic.

Manchester City's players immediately protested and signaled to the referee that Yin Wannovic handballed in the penalty area.

Sturridge chased the referee even more excitedly, signaling that the Chelsea defender had handballed.

"Judging from the slow-motion playback, Invanovic did handball, but this time it is difficult to say whether it was intentional or not. The referee thought it was a handball, although the ball did hit Invanovic. He signaled that the Chelsea centre-half was not open, so he refused to award a penalty."

Manchester City's players seemed a little angry, but still relentless.

Gao Shen loudly appealed to the players on the sidelines, asking them to pay attention, cheer up, and not block the referee.

"Yes, now, Manchester City players, keep calm."

"The pressure of the game is very high, but Manchester City has the overall advantage. At this time, we still have to pay attention. The siege of the referee is to get a card."

The two captains Kompany and Rakitic also rushed forward immediately to pull Sturridge and other teammates away, signaling them to calm down, and at the same time negotiated with the referee, thinking that it should be a penalty.

This is just a small episode in the course of the game.

The players on both sides are full of gunpowder, and the pressure of the game is also very high, which makes no one willing to give up half a step.

After the game restarted, Gao Shen signaled Manchester City to slow down the pace a little and be steady.

Players are very anxious now. If they continue to attack fiercely, it is easy to make mistakes and be counterattacked.

In this regard, people such as Rakitic and Javi Martinez are very experienced.

...

Time passed bit by bit.

City are spending more and more time on the ball, but less and less threatening attacks.

Especially as the game is coming to an end and it is time to enter stoppage time, this makes everyone start to speculate whether the game will end in a draw and shake hands.

This is actually not unacceptable for both parties.

Manchester City is playing an away game, so a draw is nothing in itself, but Chelsea just changed coaches, and they are facing the mighty Manchester City, isn't it normal for a draw?

In this case, both sides seem to maintain a tacit understanding.

The rhythm gradually slowed down.

Manchester City began to back and forth more on the periphery, testing back and forth on the two sides.

Sturridge is still more active in the rib area, trying to cut inside.

It is also normal for a left-footed winger to play on the right and cut inside.

So, when the game progressed to the 89th minute, Sabaleta went forward along the right, and when he received a goal from Javi Martinez, he was pressured by Lampard and sent a direct pass. When it was given to the right side of the penalty area in front, it seemed more like a last resort, and Sturridge also quickly ran to the right side of the penalty area to catch the ball.

After receiving the ball, Sturridge still walked sideways, as if he was going to cut inside.

Ashley Cole also paid close attention to his every move, and Lampard also immediately returned to the front of Ashley Cole to block Sturridge's route for him to cut inside.

This wave of defense seems to be stable.

Sturridge was getting closer to Ashley Cole, so close that the England left-back's panting could be heard.

At this moment, Sturridge suddenly flicked the ball to the bottom line, and the whole person threw off Ashley Cole at a very fast speed, like a vigorous cheetah, quickly rushed to the food and rushed to the bottom line.

Ashley Cole reacted quickly, turning around and catching up at the first time, but Sturridge took the initiative, took a quick step, and had already caught up with the ball and waded into the right side of the penalty area.

Just when the Chelsea left back wanted to push Sturridge to the bottom line, Sturridge suddenly flicked his right foot and sent a light low-level pass to the front of the penalty area.

Suarez's running position interfered with Terry and Invanovic. Both of them thought that the Uruguayan center forward was going to meet Sturridge. Pass to the door.

But the two central defenders retreated too far back, and the space behind them was exposed instead.

At this time, Rakitic quickly plugged in from behind and volleyed directly against Sturridge's pass.

The ball got into the lower left corner of Chelsea's goal with lightning speed!

Lore!
