"Oh~~~ Manchester City performed very strongly, in the opening ten minutes, Manchester City almost suppressed Chelsea in the half" In the ninth minute, Manchester City completed the third wave of attack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Still on the left, but this time it was a cross that Silva exchanged positions with Li Feng, who broke through and sent a low ball that Dzeko missed in front of goal, but the ball did not reach the feet of Aguero at the back post and was cleared by Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole is worthy of being England's best left-back in the past decade, not to mention all kinds of scandals off the field, his performance on the pitch alone is indeed outstanding.

Li Feng's pass almost deceived the entire Chelsea defence, but it was disrupted in the final moments by Ashley Cole, who was very clever enough to get in front of Aguero when Dzeko deliberately missed it.

Chelsea's first shot came in the twelfth minute, from Juan Mata, but the biggest contributor to this shot was Fernando Torres, who went from golden boy to parallel import, Torres only took a year, but Torres' form seems to be showing some signs of recovery recently, scoring in the FA Cup and Champions Cup, in the second leg against Bayern Munich, it was Torres who opened the scoring, and then scored twice in the FA Cup.

In addition, Drogba just suffered a point in the Champions Cup, and at the last moment of the game, Drogba collided with Dante because he fought too hard, and both of them were injured, but fortunately, both of them were not seriously injured, although they did not start in this game, they were already on the bench.

Juan Mata was intercepted by Frenkie de Jong in the middle and split the ball back to the wing, with Ashley Cole cutting in from behind, but it wasn't easy to get past Zabaleta.

Argentine full-backs are completely different from Richards' two kinds of full-backs, Richards is full of passion and aggressiveness in defense, but the ups and downs of form are a big problem, at the beginning of the season, Richards really blocked and killed, Buddha blocked and killed Buddha, and the state was so good that the whole England was surprised, and now, although Richards' form is not plummeting, it is not much better than Sabaleta.

Zabaleta is completely different, from the season to the present, the Argentine's state has been stable at a level, or since Zabaleta came into people's field of vision, Sabaleta's impact on people is that they are young and old, and a "stable" is enough to describe Zabaleta's performance so far in his career.

Unable to break through Zabaleta, Ashley Cole sent the ball to Torres, who raised his hand in the middle, and Boateng immediately posted it.

However, Torres was prepared, and at the moment when Boateng was pasted, he leaned directly back, perhaps Torres's physical fitness was not as good as Boateng's, but the difference between the two was not too big.

Under the effect of the reaction force, the two each took a step back, but it was this step that gave Torres room to break through, I have to say, Torres's strength is undoubted, but his circle of not scoring goals has always been a mystery.

"Beautiful~~~ Torres, this breakthrough makes people see the style of the former Spanish golden boy, perhaps, Di Matteo did not bring any changes to Chelsea, but if Torres can be activated, it will also be a great achievement for Chelsea, after all, the Spanish striker spent 50 million pounds."

Directly into the penalty area, Lescott decisively stepped forward to intercept and block Torres's shooting angle, coupled with Boateng's chase, Torres had no chance to shoot at all for a while.

However, at this time, Mata behind them had already shaken off De Jong's entanglement and burst into the Manchester City penalty area from the side, and Torres made a quick decision and crossed with a cross.

Mata decisively kicked the goal, Joe Hart was not slow to react, and jumped, but Joe Hart did not touch the ball, of course~~~ The ball did not fly into the Manchester City goal, and directly deviated from the goal, flew out of the bottom line, Manchester City had a false alarm.

Chelsea's tactics for this game were to stand on the defensive, wait for opportunities to counter-attack, and then the ball was returned to Manchester City's feet, but Chelsea did not have as many shots as Manchester City.

In the fifteenth minute, Manchester City completed a shot again, this time from Li Feng's ingenious hanging shot, Yaya Toure hung the pass in the backfield, Li Feng forcibly turned around after unloading the ball in the Chelsea backfield, and then picked up the instep directly without waiting for the ball to land.

Petr Cech is arguably the best goalkeeper in the Premier League in the last decade, and if it weren't for that head hit, he might have been able to compete with Gianluigi Buffon.

At the same time as Li Feng finished shooting, Cech had already begun to retreat, and his anticipatory ability was evident, and finally arrived just as the ball fell into the goal, lifting the ball off the line with one hand.

"The wind ~~~ is full of imagination with a lob shot, but unfortunately, Cech's excellent strangling of the wind's lob shot, although Cech's position was indeed a little forward at the beginning, but at the moment of the wind shot, Cech immediately retreated, and finally held the ball out in front of the goal."

Then Silva started a corner, this time Manchester City chose a tactical corner, Silva handed the ball to Li Feng, Li Feng even kicked back, Clichy picked up his foot in the penalty area is a heavy shot, but it hit Cahill's body, and then fell at the feet of Mikel.

Chelsea counter-attacked quickly, Mikel found the foot of Juan Mata just outside the box, the latter smashed through, Torres ran wildly, Zabaleta desperately wrapped it up, and finally Torres was entangled by Zabaleta, Torres not only did not get a single knife, but was even forced to the side by Zabaleta in the end.

Chelsea had no chance when they barely sent the ball down the middle, as City's players had already returned to defend and Mata could only pass back to Meireles, but it was intercepted by Li Feng and the ball returned to the feet of Manchester City.

In this way, Manchester City's attack in the first half, although strong, was never able to break through the Chelsea goal, and in the next twenty minutes, Manchester City's attack blossomed more under the organization of Li Feng, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko, Li Feng himself, and even Yaya Toure had shots.

Chelsea had plenty of shots, with Fernando Torres being the most active man in the first half, and with Juan Mata assisting, the Spanish golden boy was back in the same fine form he was at Liverpool a year ago.

Perhaps at this time, Van Basten couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, fortunately it was Kompany who was injured in this game instead of Boateng, otherwise, with the combination of Kompany and Lescott, the flexibility of the back line would definitely be completely destroyed by Torres and Mata.

In the end, neither side broke the deadlock in the first half, and in the face of this situation, Van Basten was not satisfied, but there was nothing he could do, not because Manchester City's attack was not strong, but because Chelsea's defense was too perfect. (To be continued.) )
