Chapter 489 Manchester City overturns!

December 30, the 21st round of the Premier League.

Chelsea plays its final game of 2017 at Stamford Bridge.

Their opponent is Stoke City, who are currently ranked 16th - that is, fifth from the bottom.

This game was scheduled for three in the afternoon. Although it had just rained lightly, the temperature on the field still reached 11 degrees.

Amid the singing of 40,000 supporters, in the 2nd minute, Willian created a free kick opportunity when he broke through from the wing. Rudiger responded to Pedro's cross with a powerful header and broke the net. Chelsea had a dream start!

1:0!

In the 17th minute, Alonso made a pass from the left. Lee Polo leaned on the defender with his back and headed the ball over. Hazard, who was outflanking from the left, hit the blind spot with a cloud-piercing arrow!

2:0!

The "Potters" formation, which was two goals behind, gradually fell into disarray. Lee Polo quickly seized the opportunity and scored two goals in 15 minutes, expanding the score to 4:0 before the end of the first half!

Conte on the sidelines applauded vigorously and marveled at Lee Polo's sudden strength:

As a head coach, he knows very well that due to the recent intensive schedule, being able to seal the victory in the shortest time is most beneficial to the entire team's physical fitness.

After taking a four-goal lead in the first half, he could replace players early in the second half to rest. Even if the defense was distracted and conceded two or three goals, it would not have any impact on the outcome!

In the second half, the first person to be replaced was the old captain Cahill, and Christensen, who was deeply loved by Conte, came on.

Hazard is closely followed. After entering the winter, although the Hazard king has maintained a stable output efficiency, his body is still a little tired, so he should take the time to rest.

In contrast, Lee Polo is simply the favorite worker of the capitalists. He does not need any rest at all, and even actively asks to fight continuously!

If Conte hadn't been worried about his lack of physical fitness and forced him to rest for one or two games, I'm afraid he could have played all Chelsea games!

Even if some games are only 48 hours apart!

Chelsea, who had replaced two main players in a row, still laid siege to Stoke City. Although the "Potters" intended to counterattack, due to the presence of Lee Polo, their midfielders and backfielders hardly dared to press forward at will, otherwise they would be defeated every minute.

He will seize the opportunity to break through the defense!

And if they only relied on the wings, it would be impossible for them to defeat Willian, Pedro, Alonso, and Azpilicueta and advance the offensive to the core area of ​​Chelsea!

In the 63rd minute, Li Polo even took a long shot, wanting to brush up on his shooting skills.

But as soon as he completed the shot, he knew that the shot was not at an angle and should not pose much of a threat to the goalkeeper.

But the opponent's defender accidentally stretched out his foot to block it, and the football changed its line strangely at the edge of the penalty area. By coincidence, it avoided the goalkeeper's save and grazed the crossbar and slid into the goal!

5:0!

Lee Polo, who unexpectedly completed a hat trick, also heard a prompt:

【Dip~~

Ball possession:72→73

Shots:61→62

Pass:52→53...]

-

The defeated Stoke City then made another big mistake. Central defender Cameron tripped Willian who was dribbling the ball in the penalty area. Two yellows and one red were sent off by the referee. Chelsea also received a point.

Ball opportunity.

Hazard, who had been substituted just a few minutes ago, felt deeply regretful. He could only watch helplessly as Willian kicked the ball into the net!

6:0!

This was not the final score. In the 82nd minute, Alonso made a pass from the left. However, probably due to his reduced physical fitness, his passing force was somewhat insufficient. He did not fly into the penalty area at all and was reluctantly cleared by the opponent's defender.

Although Li Polo was using the plug-in, because the distance was too far, he had no time to grab points. He could only watch the football flying farther and farther in the opposite direction to him...

Suddenly a blue figure rushed from behind. Louis directly kicked a super long-range heavy artillery of more than 35 meters, and whizzed past Lee Polo's ears!

Li Polo turned around suddenly and saw goalkeeper Bartland dumbfounded!

7:0!

After Joe Hart was dismissed from the national team, Butland was originally the most promising to become the number one national team, but before he had time to show his talents in the Three Lions, he was eliminated by England's number one striker!

Conceding 7 goals in one game, can Southgate still want him?

As Butland's biggest competitor, Pickford must have something to say at this time:

"Don't worry, we Everton were also beaten by Chelsea by 7 goals!"

-

After the bloodbath against Stoke City, Chelsea players can return to their homes and watch the chasers' game in peace.

In a later contest, Liverpool defeated Leicester City 2:1 at home. Salah scored twice and completely conquered the picky Anfield.

Manchester United played a dull 90-minute draw with Southampton at Old Trafford.

Mourinho was finally willing to let Lingard start and play the entire game this time, but Lukaku's injury at the start completely disrupted Manchester United's rhythm.

Despite this, Lin Huang has shown his threat many times. For example, in the 34th minute, he used his skillful picking skills to attract the opponent's defender Ma Yoshida to stop the ball with his hands in the penalty area...

But what is disappointing is that the referee on duty was blind and turned a blind eye to such an obvious handball!

After that, Lin Huang's mentality was obviously affected, and he even tackled the Saints defender in retaliation for the quarrel on the field, so that he received a yellow card.

In the 89th minute, Lin Huang had a chance to kill the game, but he made slightly too many adjustments before shooting, giving Saints goalkeeper McCarthy too much time to prepare, resulting in the final miss!

Manchester United, which has ushered in three consecutive draws, has given up any hope of competing for the league title. The point difference between them and Chelsea has widened to 19 points! -

In addition to Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham have also had their hips stretched.

The Gunners were held to a 1:1 draw by West Bromwich Albion in the away game, while Lilywhites drew with the Hammers West Ham United at home with the same score.

The most surprising thing is that Manchester City, who had one more day of rest than Chelsea, overturned against an opponent they never expected!

Crystal Palace…

It was the Crystal Palace that had no wins in the first 12 rounds and occupied the 20th place in the standings for a long time. It was not until the 18th round that it barely climbed to 19th place with its third victory of the season...

After the first 20 rounds, Crystal Palace scored a total of 18 goals, but conceded a total of 40 goals!

But Blue Moon has already scored 61 goals in the first 20 rounds! Among the 20 teams in the Premier League, it is second only to Chelsea who scored 95 goals!

The second place in the league, against the second from the bottom in the league, such a contest with great disparity ended in 0:0!

There are many points of interest in this game:

For example, both sides replaced a starting player due to injury in the 20th minute, and Jesus even covered his face and cried...

Aguero, who came off the bench, was very active for a time, but soon fell into trouble. He didn't even get a shot in the entire first half!

Before halftime, because his teammates frequently wasted opportunities, De Bruyne, who has always been good-tempered, actually publicly roared at Sane. The latter looked ashamed and did not dare to look up at him...

Guardiola rarely made substitutions at the beginning of the second half, but the one he replaced was not Sane, who wasted the most opportunities, but Gundogan, who served as the midfielder, and replaced him with the savior who had been in danger many times before.

...Sterling.

Sterling, who came on as a substitute, was only active for 3 minutes before completely disappearing from the fans' sight.

Seeing that the team could not score a goal no matter how many adjustments they made, Guardiola, who was in a hurry and sought medical treatment, actually pushed Yaya Toure, who he had abandoned for a long time, onto the field.

But the "former No. 1 B2B in football" who has been away from home for a long time has now become a waste. Not only did he not help De Bruyne sort out the offense after coming on the court, but he completely paralyzed the entire team's offense because of his delayed dribbling rhythm!

Even in the second minute of stoppage time, Crystal Palace's number one player, Zaha, scored a penalty kick in the penalty area!

The one who fouled him defensively was Sterling, who came on as a substitute in the second half!

Sterling, who struggled to catch up for nearly 50 meters, looked aggrieved, and the home fans once saw the hope of taking all three points from Manchester City!

Unfortunately, Crystal Palace encountered Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson. The Brazilian second goalkeeper seemed to have seen through Milivojevic's shot and blocked it with his legs!

Manchester City, who had escaped the disaster, never had the chance to score a goal and could only leave this sad away game with a score of 0:0...

What made Guardiola even more unacceptable was that De Bruyne was injured in the last half minute of the game!

Looking at the slowing down of Blue Moon, the entire Premier League couldn't help but send out support to them:

"Come on, Manchester City!"

"Only you can stop Chelsea from dominating the Premier League!"
