Chapter 115: Diego, the Wicked Man

The game between Manchester United and Chelsea suddenly became a kind of parity - the battle between the two sides in midfield was quite fierce, really fierce, with frequent fouls on both sides and players rolling on the grass and so on.

However, neither side was able to pose much of a threat to the opposition's backline.

Manchester United originally wanted to continue the attack in one go, but they were afraid of Chelsea's threat behind their own defense, so they did not dare to press too high, because they faced a team that was still very strong after all, Diego Costa, Willian was everywhere behind the backline, and Cesc Fabregas's accurate pass also made Manchester United very jealous.

As for Chelsea, they want to attack, but they struggle to find a chance in the face of United's solid defensive system.

The two teams began to entangle in the midfield, tackles, down, fouls, and the ball changed hands frequently, and neither could control the situation.

Coupled with the clash at the beginning of the game, this football game seems to have completely changed its taste, and the confrontation between the two sides in midfield is very ........... rude!

The players on both teams seem to have turned into angry bulls, making no move at all.

"Herrera !! with the ball"

"Oh!! Mikel grabbed and put him down directly!! ”

"Oh my God!! What a ferocious interception!! Cesc Fabregas was almost tackled out of bounds by Kramer!! ”

"It's a game that smells of gunpowder from the start, but I think it's better to focus on football, with frequent fouls, frequent falls, and back-to-back games that the fans don't like to see." The narrator shook his head and said.

The situation of the game is indeed a bit boring now, tackles, steals, fouls, and sometimes it does give people a sense of blood and blood, but when there are too many such scenes, it is inevitable that aesthetic fatigue will occur.

But such a scene makes a person excited!

Diego Costa loves the chaos of the fight, because ..........it allows the cunning Brazilian to fish in troubled waters.

Diego Costa is known for his image as a villain on the pitch, both in La Liga and in the Premier League.

When he was in La Liga, Diego Costa was a headache for opponents and referees, he clashed with almost every team's defenders, and Diego Costa, who came from the field, always seemed to be able to pull hatred on the field. And Diego Costa, who has practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, is very good at close grappling, and when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, defenders often suffer from him.

Soon, Costa's chance came.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Diego Costa was retreating outside the box and ready to play a match with Cesc Fabregas.

Phil Jones didn't leave him and followed him from inside the box, clinging to the dangerous opponent and not giving him any chance to turn.

Diego Costa leaned back, feeling the pressure on him, but he reached out and asked for it.

The ball was under Cesc Fabregas's feet, but he couldn't find a good spot for a while, so he saw Costa ask for the ball and passed it.

Diego Costa stopped the ball with his right foot, but he still couldn't turn around.

Phil Jones knows that as long as he sticks to the opponent and does not let the opponent complete the turn, Diego Costa can only pass the ball back - with so many people in Manchester United's backfield, even a cross is a very risky behavior, because he did not turn around, he does not know the situation behind him, and if the cross is cut off from the middle, it is very likely to be hit on a counterattack.

Sure enough, Diego Costa didn't have a good passing route after getting the ball, he didn't let the ball stay at his feet, but directly knocked it back and passed the ball to Oscar in front of him on the left.

Phil Jones breathed a sigh of relief that there is always a lot of pressure on defenders to face forwards one-on-one, especially a striker like Costa who is very capable of fighting alone.

The defense just now was undoubtedly successful.

But before he could completely relax his breath, he felt a piercing pain under his left ribs, and then the thumb of his left foot seemed to be stepped on..........

Diego Costa reached for the ball, of course, it was not untargeted. He first took the ball to his feet, then quickly passed the ball out, and when the referee's eyes were attracted to the football, he made his own performance out of the referee's sight.

He first poked Phil Jones under the armpit with his left elbow, and then quietly stepped on the top of Phil Jones' foot with his left foot.

He does all these moves very secretly, and for Diego Costa, such small actions have been perfected when he played wild football in Brazil!

When Phil Jones had just reacted and was about to settle accounts with Diego Costa, Diego's performance was not over yet.

He passed the ball to Oscar and immediately turned and ran into the penalty area, at this time Phil Jones was stabbed by his elbow and bent over, Diego Costa bumped into it as a matter of course, and then screamed.........

Referee Oliver really didn't see Diego Costa's previous moves, and the two linesmen were on the other side, and they didn't see what Diego Costa was doing.

Oliver saw that Diego Costa passed the ball to Oscar, who then hit the ball straight. When Oliver turned around, he saw this scene.

Phil Jones bent down to block Diego Costa's forward line, and Diego Costa didn't seem to notice Phil Jones at all, and directly hit it, and then fell to the ground with a scream!

Oliver blew the whistle decisively!

Block foul!!

Phil Jones thought it was Diego Costa who was elbowed by the referee, and he was about to ask the referee to pull out Diego Costa's card, but when he saw Oliver's gesture, he felt like a ghost.

"I fouled !!"

Phil Jones laughed angrily, and his ribs and left thumb still hurt.

He was about to serve with the soccer ball in his arms, but the referee did give him a foul. This made Phil Jones furious, and he threw the ball the ground before turning around and defending in the box. His move also earned him a yellow card.

When Hummels saw that Phil Jones was about to come forward to theorize, he quickly hugged Phil Jones and told him to calm down first.

Diego Costa had a successful plan and he was ready to take the free-kick himself in a great position.

Ancelotti got up from his seat, he already had a premonition of danger.

David De Gea was nervously arranging the human wall, and he arranged five players to form the human wall. This free-kick is perfectly positioned for a direct shot.

After some set-up, Oliver's whistle blew and Costa began to run.

When the football was in the air, Ancelotti didn't feel like it was going to be seconds.

Sure enough, the soccer ball went around the wall and into the corner!!

"Boom !!!!!!"

Fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge leapt to their feet.

Chelsea equalised!!
