Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After Chelsea took the lead, they immediately began to choose to recover. Mourinho is a very rational coach. He knows that his team cannot compete with the opponent in offense and has some problems in physical strength, so he will not dream of continuing to attack to expand the score. In his opinion, the score of one to zero is enough for the team to advance. As long as the defense is good, it will be enough. Facing Chelsea's iron wall, Yang Luo and Tuchel are a little helpless. If they just defend like this, maybe Chelsea can really survive a one-to-zero score. You know, the defensive ability of Chelsea's people is not worse than that of Juventus! Yang Luo thought about it and prepared to start substitutions. First, he called Maicon up.

Since Chelsea was ready to retreat, he had to free up the right back.

After nearly a season of experience, Maicon's offensive ability became more and more prominent, which made him more and more tacit in his cooperation with Robben in front.

His appearance also marked that Manchester City was going to start a full-scale attack!

In the 63rd minute, Robben got the ball on the right and cut inside, and Thiago immediately withdrew and double-teamed him with Gallas.

Maicon had already inserted from behind, but Duff had also followed him to prevent Maicon from receiving the ball.

This made Robben give up the idea of ​​passing to the wing, and instead passed the ball back to Essien.

After Essien took two steps, he passed the ball to the left, but as soon as Ronaldinho got the ball, Glen Johnson and Lampard surrounded him, forming a two-on-one double team.

This set of defensive rotations prevented Manchester City from getting any space on the wing.

But at this time, they only had Dacourt left in the middle.

After passing the ball to Ronaldinho, Essien did not stop, but chose to move forward directly!

He will complete the explosion in the middle with Kaka!

After seeing his forward movement, Ronaldinho immediately passed the ball to the middle, and Kaka rushed to pass the ball to Essien before Dakota!

At this time, there were only two central defenders in front of Essien, but these two central defenders had to defend Tony!

Essien seized the opportunity of their hesitation and dribbled into the penalty area!

Terry had no choice but to step forward and prepare to block Essien's progress!

Seeing that the time was ripe, Essien directly flicked the outside of his right foot and knocked the ball to Tony!

After Tony got the ball with his back to the ball, he suddenly turned around and faked Carvalho's center of gravity to the right, and then another pull ball flashed out of the shooting space from the other side!

He chose to shoot with his left foot with his right foot as the axis, and the football went straight to the lower right corner of the goal!

But Cudicini was very well prepared, he blocked the ball out of the baseline with one hand!

Mr. Tony hugged his head with regret.

He had a lot of space to kick the ball, but unfortunately he failed to score.

Mourinho applauded on the sidelines and praised Cudicini's performance.

Although this ball gave Manchester City a chance to kick, there was nothing they could do about it.

After all, the opponent had two big killers on the left and right sides that could attract two defensive players, and it was inevitable that their own defense would miss people.

And this time it was not considered a miss, at most it gave the opponent's striker a comfortable one-on-one opportunity.

Yang Luo was thinking about substitutions again.

He looked at the bench and ordered: "Cristiano, Xavi, go warm up!"

Ronaldo and Xavi Alonso immediately got up and ran to the sidelines to warm up.

In the 68th minute, a dead ball was formed on the field.

A substitution card was played on the sidelines, and Ronaldo came on the field to replace Kaka.

Ronaldinho moved to the middle, while C Ronaldo was ready to move forward into the penalty area at any time to form the second end point in the penalty area.

Mourinho frowned and made a substitution adjustment.

Paulo Ferreira replaced Glen Johnson.

This was undoubtedly to strengthen the defense.

With C Ronaldo's appearance, Evra's position also moved forward, continuing to increase firepower in the frontcourt.

In the 74th minute, Manchester City launched another offensive.

Robben took the ball on the right, and this time he chose to make a two-on-one cooperation with Ronaldinho in the middle, shaking off Thiago's entanglement and coming to the front of the penalty area.

And Gallas knew how powerful his cut-in shot was, so he kept a close eye on his left foot, and once he found that he was ready to shoot, he flew to block the gun hole.

But this time Robben suddenly swung his calf

, and rubbed the ball over the top!

The ball passed Chelsea's defense line and headed towards the left side of the penalty area!

At this time, Ronaldo had already inserted at high speed. He leaned over and dived to head the ball, heading it to the lower right corner of the goal!

Cudicini subconsciously pounced on the football, but the ball was too fast and he couldn't reach it at all!

But the football hit the post squarely and bounced out!

Chelsea escaped!

Ronaldo looked at all this in disbelief. If the ball had been ten centimeters further inward, he would have become a hero!

Yang Luo showed a crazy expression: "Damn it!"

He turned and looked at Xavi Alonso: "Xavi, get ready to play!"

In this situation, the only way is to continue to strengthen the offense!

Soon, Xavi Alonso came on the court and replaced Makelele.

Yang Luo wanted to send all the offensive players to fight Chelsea to the death!

Mourinho also responded, Geremi came on, replacing Thiago!

He put out two defensive midfielders to protect the back line!

After both sides adjusted their lineups, the rhythm of the game completely turned into Manchester City besieging Chelsea.

But Chelsea's defense was indeed very tight, and Manchester City could not find a good breakthrough.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was already the 85th minute of the game.

Yang Luo and Tuchel on the sidelines were a little anxious.

If this score remained until the end of the game, they could imagine what Chelsea would do in the next round.

At that time, the initiative was no longer in their hands!

At this time, Manchester City got the ball in the frontcourt again.

Essien passed the ball to Ronaldo, who took a few steps and passed the ball to Ronaldinho at the top of the arc.

He continued to move forward into the penalty area, hoping that Ronaldinho could pass the ball directly to him so that he could shoot directly!

But before he could enter the penalty area, Ferreira used his body to carry him, and he immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground!

Ronaldinho also wanted to give the ball back to him, but after seeing him fall, he had to give up the idea.

But at this time, Dakota had already stood in front of him, and Geremi was ready to block his pass, which made him unable to pass the ball.

His right foot shook in front of the football for a few times, as if he was hesitating about how to deal with it.

But then he chose to shoot directly on the spot!

Dakota never thought that he would deal with the ball in such a way. He could not react at all and could only watch the football fly into the goal!

And Cudicini's sight was blocked, and it was too late when he saw the football!

The football flew into the goal along the post!

This was undoubtedly a shot beyond everyone's imagination!

One to one, Manchester City equalized the score with such an uncommon goal!
