Chapter 596: Rhythm Shift

Manchester City attacked, Li Feng sent another good pass, and Sergio Aguero put on a brilliant performance, he first got rid of Ashley Cole's entanglement and rushed into the box.

Then he shook off the post in the box to defend Branislav Ivanovic, but unfortunately Aguero's shot ended up in the side-netting, and the man who didn't even see it went to return another Manchester City goal.

However, this situation only lasted for a few seconds, because Aguero was lying on the turf with a frustrated face at the moment, and it was clear that Aguero's reaction was the most intuitive expression of this shot.

Manchester City's wave of attacks scared Chelsea into a cold sweat, and Boas rushed to the sidelines, roaring at Romeu.

For Romeu, Boas has a lot of trust, but Romeu's performance is a little sorry for Boas's trust, so far, in fact, the worst performance of Chelsea's three midfielders is Romeu.

Boas's decision is understandable, Boas wants to cultivate his cronies, everyone is the same in this regard, in Manchester City, Li Feng is Van Basten's cronies, and Aguero is also considered to be, which can also understand why Aguero has such a good relationship with Li Feng.

But Villas-Boas is obviously a little too anxious, Chelsea is not Manchester City, to put it mildly, there are so many old fritters in Chelsea now, and they are all meritorious old fritters, all the way with the rise of this Chelsea.

Villas-Boas's current situation is completely different from that of Mourinho, you know, now Villas-Boas is not even standing on his own, and he can't pick anyone, you know, there is still one of the big guys Frank Lampard off the field.

Of course~~~ The most important thing is that the Russian oligarch, the owner of Chelsea, is not a patient owner, otherwise Chelsea would not have changed so many managers in recent years.

Then came the first controversial decision of the game, with Li Feng, Silva, Sergio Aguero and Balotelli playing up a quartet up front, with a quartet linking up to tear apart the Chelsea defence.

Chelsea entered the Chelsea box and Balotelli fired a diagonal cross, but Ramirez's quick return eventually tripped Silva with his outstretched leg and the referee did not award a penalty.

For this penalty, Manchester City is naturally dissatisfied, but about this penalty, it seems that it is really difficult to say whether a penalty will be awarded or not from slow motion, and it is estimated that only the two parties Silva and Ramirez know about this kind of thing.

What's more, Manchester City at the moment had no time to complain, the ball was kicked out of the penalty area by Terry, Mata took Terry's pass, but before he could make any move, De Jong immediately came out of the diagonal lane.

In this case, Mata could only pass the ball forward, Sturridge took the ball, and then slid past Villas-Boas to rush into the Manchester City penalty area, but was cut off by Richards, who was slanted out.

Both Manchester City academy graduates, the two have struggled for the same dream, but on the road to growth, the two chose two different paths, Richards chose to stay at Manchester City, and Sturridge came to London.

Looking at Richards' back, at this moment Sturridge couldn't help but think that if he hadn't left Manchester City at that time, he might not be worse than Richards now.

You know, Richards' performance this season has been unanimously praised by England, and his rise has the whole country cheering.

Richards certainly wouldn't have known what Sturridge was thinking at this moment, and after the break, Richards went straight to the Chelsea half.

Had it not been for Merreles' decisive foul, Richards would have been able to go straight to the Yellow Dragon, with most of Chelsea's defence almost entirely on City's attacking players.

The free kick was naturally punished by Li Feng, but Li Feng's free kick was a little out of standard, and even he couldn't help but feel embarrassed after he kicked it, and the ball flew out of the bottom line directly away from the goal.

Seeing that City's attack was getting stronger and stronger, and even about to take over the rhythm of the game, Villas-Boas stepped up again and then called Juan Mata and Merellas to his side.

Then the game restarted and City immediately felt the difference at Chelsea, and under the control of Juan Mata and Meireles, Chelsea actually slowed down.

I have to say that Villas-Boas's adjustment is quite good, you know, Manchester City is already a little crazy at the moment, and in terms of attack, Manchester City has never been afraid, just look at their goals this season.

Obviously, Villas-Boas did not collect information about Manchester City, but this is also normal, Villas-Boas was originally from this background, when he was Mourinho's assistant, Villas-Boas was responsible for collecting opponent information and tactical analysis, although Mourinho's sentence "Without Villas, I can't do anything" is a little exaggerated, but this sentence is not the best proof of Boas's ability.

In the period that followed, the two teams went back to wrestling, but not in attack, but in the rhythm of the two teams, with Manchester City trying to pull the tempo up and Chelsea trying to slow it down.

"Well, although the rhythm has changed too fast, I believe that the excitement of the next game will definitely not change" The commentator said with a depressed face, just watching the fast-paced attack and defense of the two teams, which was enjoyable, but after a shot, the rhythm of the game completely changed.

The fact is that although the tempo of the game has slowed down, the shots of both teams have not decreased much, or the success rate of Chelsea's attack has increased significantly.

In the 25th minute, Juan Mata was again blocked with the ball, but he still managed to get the ball out of the way, Sturridge intercepted by Richards and crossed diagonally, and Drogba fired a shot straight into the near corner from the left side of the box.

Three minutes later, Chelsea were back in the form of Juan Mata's pass, but this time he found Didier Drogba, who took a few steps from just outside the crossbar and fired a powerful shot into the box.

The ball was not in the frame, but it is worth mentioning that Drogba sat directly on the turf after completing the shot, and it turned out that Drogba had just shot too hard, which may have caused a recurrence of the old injury.

As a player, it is normal to get injured on the court, at this point, Li Feng is still very lucky, the system gave Li Feng the best body, plus the help of two talents, so that Li Feng avoided black feet, which is also the reason why Li Feng was not injured on the court.

Then Chelsea's team doctor walked in at the referee's behest, and Villas-Boas on the sidelines told Torres to get up and warm up, but after the team doctor's examination, Chelsea were relieved that Drogba had already walked back on the pitch, meaning that Chelsea did not need to make a substitution.
