N-A-A Chapter 173
Chapter 173
Arsenal won Crystal Palace.
Liverpool beat West Bromwich Albion.
Manchester United struggled to win over Stoke City.
Tottenham narrowly beat Hull City.
Of the top six teams, only Chelsea and Manchester City remain.
If Chelsea can use home advantage to win over Manchester City, it will be good news for several other teams.
At least the points gap between them and Manchester City has narrowed.
Even if it is a draw, it is a good result.
The biggest fear is that Chelsea will not be able to stop Manchester City from moving forward.
If Manchester City win, they will equalize Chelsea's previous opening streak in '05 – nine in a row!
Now is not the time to discuss whether this record is difficult or not, the point is, they can't limit Manchester City at all!
In the evening, the Stamford Bridge stadium is already very lively, and the atmosphere is extremely blazing.
When the Manchester City players entered the warm-up, the earth-shaking boos suddenly sounded, as if this violent sound wave could directly destroy Manchester City.
Speaking of which, Chelsea fans are the most disdainful of Manchester City's opinion and the most mindful.
You know, before the oil tycoons entered Manchester City, Chelsea were the richest team in the Premier League.
Abou's years of investment have turned a mediocre London team into the Premier League's top powerhouse.
And now, Manchester City have actually copied such a path, which makes them how to balance their hearts.
The most important thing is that Manchester City actually looks more champion than Chelsea now, who can stand this?
Don't think that the local tyrant mercenaries are not good!
The happiness of local tyrants, you can't imagine at all!
That's really buying whoever you want!
As long as it is a problem that money can solve, it is not called a problem.
Now it is not only myself who can enjoy this happiness, which is the most disappointing.
So, the boos from Chelsea fans to Manchester City is not just because of the competition for the title, but also because of the competition for identity!
For such boos, although Xu Ning felt noisy, it would not affect his performance, but it was just a little uncomfortable.
After warming up and making a little preparation in the dressing room, they came to the players' tunnel and lined up to enter the stadium.
At this time, Chelsea's players were observing Xu Ning with a gaze that was difficult to describe in words.
Curious and curious, emotion, more seems to be a kind of eagerness.
I probably want to challenge Xu Ning, the first person in the new football world, to see what magic he has.
Almost every time he encountered a new opponent of the ship that he had never met, the opponent had such an expression and eyes, and Xu Ning was used to it.
However, it has to be said that Chelsea's squad has always been a championship competitive squad.
Brazilian core Oscar, new demon Eden Hazard, in-form German winger Schurrle...
In the offensive position up front, even the old and strong magic lamp can only retreat most of the time.
In the back line and back position, there is also an enviable luxury lineup.
The only thing that made Xu Ning a little unsure how to describe it was the striker.
After Drogba left, the Blues were unable to find a centre-forward who could support the attack.
Especially this season, it's even more embarrassing.
The starting striker was Torres, who was consistently unable to play at Chelsea.
On the one hand, it is because of injuries, and on the other hand, it may not be suitable for Chelsea's tactics.
It's not necessary to say how bad it is, but if you don't have the goal stats you can get, you are not qualified.
On the bench, there is Mourinho's love general Eto'o, but the age of the cheetah dooms him to not be so good.
In addition, there is a high school striker Dengbaba, if you want to say that the style is similar to Drogba, but I don't know where he didn't do well, Mourinho just can't look at him.
Looking at Chelsea's squad, Xu Ning couldn't help but feel a sigh - the exact Chelsea is the most suitable platform for Mourinho.
Here, he can ask every player to participate in the defense, and not insist on tactical requirements that are not supported and fulfilled.
Just as Xu Ning's thoughts diverged, the players who were familiar with the two teams had already begun to chat with each other.
Xu Ning is not familiar with each other, naturally there is no need to force up and chat awkwardly, it is really embarrassing.
Soon, the referee team came over and walked onto the court with players from both sides.
It was still a complicated pre-game process, and Xu Ning followed like the walking dead.
When the referee blew the whistle to start the whole game, Stamford Bridge also began to boil and officially entered the atmosphere of the game!
Chelsea kick off.
Torres dialed the ball to Eden Hazard and then began to rush towards the heart of Manchester City.
After passing the ball to Frank Lampard's feet, Torres' position has been rushed to the edge of City's big penalty area.
I saw Lampard directly get up and make a long pass and play extremely resolutely.
The opening long pass raid!
Torres desperately leaned his body against Kompany behind him, and actually unloaded the ball with extremely solid technique.
It's also an excellent combination of power and technology.
Xu Ning couldn't help but be a little amazed.
Even if Torres is not in good shape and performance and struggles at Chelsea, he is still the amazing talent when he occasionally plays the style he once had.
Amid the cheers of the scene, Torres half-turned and volleyed directly, as if the Spanish striker, who had returned to his peak form, actually completed a wonderful shot.
And this shot tested Joe Hart and made him a rush to complete an extreme save.
The unparalleled speed of reaction, the swift lightning save, even Joe Hart thought that he was possessed by a god.
Seeing that the ball was about to fly into the goal by grazing the upright, Joehart's hand blocked the ball flight before this.
Watching Johart block the ball out of the goal, Torres held his head in the incredible chorus of fans, unable to believe what he saw.
This goal, he really thought it was going to be scored!
Unexpectedly, I ran into a Johart who seemed to be on the hook.
Is fate so tricky?
Chelsea's opening raid shocked Manchester City fans into a cold sweat.
Even Pellegrini, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned, as if thinking of something.
Chelsea's attack is incredibly simple yet incredibly efficient, and the deterrence is amazing.
It seems to be the perfect combination of Mu's defense and English long pass.
If so, Manchester City may not be playing well.
After all, Chelsea's backfield defence is always in full swing, and Manchester City's offensive is not easy to unfold.
Is this Mourinho's tactical thinking for this game?
Defense is the main thing, counterattack can kick and kick, if you can't kick, take a draw.
Anyway, a draw is definitely an acceptable result for Chelsea.
It feels like last season's Malaga.
The only difference is that because of Xunin, Malaga will not really be chasing only one draw.
