Football: the king of the Champions League

Chapter 0154 – Another Draw in Overtime! A brutal penalty shoot-out begins!!!

really

After the game resumed, Manchester City, playing at home, seemed to have gone crazy, and several players in the front court tirelessly pressed and interfered with Chelsea’s ball carriers…

Do whatever you want.

But Chelsea’s backfield players are still more focused.

When they find out that there is danger, they will inevitably drive to the front court as soon as possible.

After all, there is a super killer in Chelsea’s front court – Jiang!

Over time,

The centre of gravity of the confrontation between Chelsea and Manchester City gradually began to press towards the midfield

In fact, it is not difficult to see from the staffing of the two teams that Manchester City and Chelsea are two teams with diametrically opposed styles.

Manchester City prefer to focus on midfield control, using the likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Keylor Navas to tear the opponent’s defense as much as possible.

Chelsea’s midfielders are Ramirez, Nemanja Matic and Frank Lampard, who are more inclined to defend and run.

So, in the ensuing period, Manchester City controlled the pace of the game and constantly passed in midfield, while Chelsea relied on Ramirez and Nemanja Matic and Frank Lampard to press.

The ball changed hands quickly in a short period of time, but neither Manchester City nor Chel 11 could form a deadly pass and threat to their opponents.

In the blink of an eye,

The time for the game has come to 75 minutes.

Players on both sides began to experience a certain decline in physical fitness.

Especially on the Chelsea side.

But Mourinho did not rotate personnel. He wants the players on the pitch to hold out for a while.

Pellegrini also did not make substitutions.

It seems that there is a spirit between famous marshals.

During this time,

Manchester City, playing at home, once again made a difference,

Striker Sergio Aguero also frequently began to retreat to get the ball in the middle.

But with the combined interference of Nemanja Matic and Ramirez, the Argentine striker did not take the football into the box…

Eighty minutes later,

The pace of the game also gradually slowed down, until the eighty-fifth minute of the game,

Manchester City, playing at home, only carried out a rotation of personnel. Midfielder Milner replaced Demichelis.

At the same time, Negredo replaced Dzeko.

One midfield adjustment, one striker adjustment.

Pellegrini’s intention is very obvious, that is, to win this game

If Manchester City lose this game, Manchester City will face the embarrassing situation of being empty of four this season.

This is naturally unacceptable to the team owner and the board.

As the team’s head coach, Pellegrini is also likely to be fired after the season.

In order to avoid this from happening, the boss decided to give it a go!!

It has to be said that the appearance of Milner and Negredo has injected fresh blood into Manchester City’s attacking end.

In the last five minutes,

The pace of the game has always been controlled by Manchester City.

David Silva, Keylor Navas and even the newly debuted Milner frequently sent passes in midfield or on the wing.

However, the thunder is loud and the rain is small.

The passes looked threatening, but they did not pose any threat to the Chelsea goal.

However, Mourinho, in order to be conservative, also ordered all eleven Chelsea players on the pitch to retire to their own half.

The Muhammad buses have reappeared.

With the tireless running and defence of the Chelsea players, the ninety minutes were over.

The two sides drew 2:2.

In other words, both teams went into extra time.

This is naturally a fortunate thing for Manchester City fans who came to watch the game.

After all, they were able to watch another 30 minutes of great play.

And for the players on the field, it is full of despair…

Ninety minutes of play has exhausted most of the players.

In the half-hour overtime, it takes the tenacity of the players.

Mourinho stared at the pitch, and he still didn’t make personnel changes.

It’s not that Mourinho doesn’t want to rotate people, mainly because the bench is mostly full of young players.

Hazard, De Bruyne, Eto’o and other superstars were still training daily at the Cobham training base at this time…

There is no way,

Mourinho can only pin all his hopes on the players on the pitch.

The first half of extra time begins,

The physically exhausted Chelsea players still chose to defend at half-time.

Most Chelsea players are passive defensively, with one exception.

That’s Jiang Hao!!

Jiang Hao, who still has physical strength, can still run.

In order to reduce the defensive burden of teammates.

He continues to interfere with the passing of Manchester City players through tireless running.

even

Chelsea football hit that position, and the next second, Jiang Hao appeared in that position to assist in defense.

Finally, Chelsea resisted the first half of extra time.

After a brief break of a few minutes on the bench, the second half of extra time began as scheduled.

These few minutes of respite have also allowed Chelsea’s players to regain some fitness.

In the second half of extra time

In addition to defending, Chelsea also began to try to make a move.

In the 118th minute,

After Frank Lampard snatched a pass from Manchester City in midfield, he immediately handed over the football long pass and found Jiang Hao.

On the right wing, after Jiang Hao received the ball,

Do your best to break through along the right side!! It’s just a pity,

Then Jiang Hao’s bottom cross was finally stopped because teammate Schurrle did not follow up in time.

In the final minutes of overtime,

Whether it’s Manchester City’s 610 or the Chelsea players, they’re exhausted.

In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace.

Enter the most brutal penalty shootout.

The time to test people’s hearts has come.

On the bench,

Jose Mourinho and Manuel Pellegrini, two top managers, are discussing with their assistants the order in which penalties will play.

The players, on the other hand, collapsed on the lawn, waiting for their fate.

“Audience friends, the cruelest penalty shootout is coming!!”

“In this FA Cup semi-final, who can stand out and have the last laugh, let’s wait and see!”

Three minutes later,

Frank Lampard and Vincent Kompany, the captains, came to the referee to pick the order of the free throws and pick the sides.

In the end, Chelsea got the lead.

Moreover, the goal of the penalty shootout was just next to the away fans’ stand.

This is undoubtedly good for Chelsea.

‘The first Chelsea player to take the penalty was… Winger Schurrle!! ”

Zhan Jun’s voice just fell,

Schurrle slowly stood on the penalty spot.

In front of him is Manchester City’s positive goalkeeper, Joe Hart.

Schurrle controlled the tension in his heart,

A pinch and a pinch away!

The ball rolled into the goal from Joe Hart’s right side.

Schurrle withstood the pressure!

Penalty shootout 1:0 aggregate score 3:2!
