Chapter 861: Accident
Although it was Robinho who scored the goal, when the goal was slowed down, the protagonist was not Robinho who scored, but Glory.
Everyone knows who is the real hero of this ball.
Robinho's movement was beautiful, but it wasn't unusual that any qualified professional could run at that time.
If it weren't for the previous glorious series of wonderful performances, Robinho would be useless no matter how beautiful he was.
First of all, a long pass from the backfield, such a long-distance pass, it only took one moment for Glory to stop the football.
It looks like he's coming straight at his feet, which doesn't seem good, after all, he needs to get rid of his opponent in the sport. But it was the stop that allowed him to make the next move.
This action is the tail of the ox.
It's hard to say whether he deliberately stopped the ball like this, in order to pass the oxtail, or if he stopped like this and suddenly switched to the oxtail after he stopped like this.
But all in all, it works very well.
Ashley Cole was swept through the crotch by glory without even reacting to this pass.
Next, Glory did not take credit after bursting into the penalty area, but swept the football to Robinho. So he should take the lead in this goal.
The shot of him flicking Ashley Cole away with his tail was replayed repeatedly, and only this passing gesture was played.
Commentators and commentators from all over the world continue to praise this glorious person in a tone of appreciating the artwork.
"It's Rong again! Whenever the team encounters difficulties, it must be him who stands up! β
"Beautiful! Once again, we saw a show of genius, and although in the end Rong passed the football, without him, Robinho would not have been able to score at all! β
"Chelsea were so aggressive that they thought they could score at any time, but it was Manchester City who scored in the end! In fact, in this defense, Chelsea's table xiΓ n is qualified, the player retreats quickly, and does not give Rong a chance to counterattack, but the real superstar can always create a way out of nowhere, this is the role of a superstar! β
β¦β¦
Everyone was praising the glory, and the goalscorer Robinho was only mentioned for a moment.
But Robinho will never be jealous of Glory because of this, he happily pounced on Glory after scoring a goal, and then hugged Glory and celebrated the goal.
Hiddink stood on the sidelines, indifferent when the team conceded the goal, with no change in expression and no movement.
He's like a scarecrow.
If anything, he reacted, it was a snort in his nose as the ball flew into the goal.
He was not at all surprised by the result.
The Chelsea players, carried away by the rage, completely forgot about the threat of glory.
At the beginning, Chelsea were all recovering the defence, giving no glory at all the space and time, and they still scored, let alone now......
Do you really think that Manchester City is suppressed by you and can't hold their heads up?
People were going to play defensive counterattacks from the beginning!
I just didn't expect Chelsea to be able to press so high......
He hopes the goal will calm down the Chelsea players and stop sprinting.
Conceding only one goal is not a big deal, as long as you can calm down and slowly play around with Manchester City, you may not be able to equalize.
The FA Cup semi-finals, like the League Cup, are also single-legged, but if the game ends in a draw, there is still a chance for a replay.
Guus Hiddink hopes City can teach him a lesson from these arrogant Chelsea players, but not so lethal that he will have a chance to bounce back.
The conceded goal did calm down the Chelsea players instantly, and it was as if they had been slapped in the face by Manchester City or poured cold water on their heads.
They realise that the glory of Manchester City is different from the opponents they have faced before, because they have a guy in the squad who is enough to disrupt the balance.
Chelsea are still a strong team after all, otherwise they would not be in the top three of the league.
When they calmed down, their combat effectiveness returned to normal.
Manchester City had planned to take advantage of the high morale of the goal, to launch a fierce attack on the Chelsea goal, and try to score another goal in a short period of time to seal the victory completely.
But when they found out they weren't going to score so easily, they quickly shrank back.
Manchester City will also adjust themselves.
The game was at a stalemate.
Until the end of the first half, neither side scored again.
In the dressing room at half-time, Guus Hiddink watched his players while his players kept their heads down and remained silent.
Hiddink didn't need to say anything, just looking at them made them all feel the momentum of a world-class handsome.
After just looking at them for a minute, Hiddink spoke.
He didn't criticize the players' performance in the first half, nor did he mention the players' disobedience to his tactical instructions.
As if nothing had happened.
This is where Hiddink is experienced, or rather "cunning", comes in.
Although he didn't say a word, he made his displeasure felt by the Chelsea players. But at the same time, he didn't say anything, which is equivalent to leaving steps for these first-class players, so that they can have steps down and not lose their faces.
If you want them to listen to your own words first, you still have to estimate their faces, and you can't hurt their self-esteem too much.
'We only conceded one goal and it wasn't a big deal. It's on our home turf and we've got 45 minutes left......"
He's cheering the players up, first of all, to encourage them, and then to talk about the team's tactical set-up.
There's really nothing to say about the tactical arrangement, just follow what he made before.
It was meant to be used against Manchester City, and he had been preparing for it for a long time.
He is convinced that as long as the team follows their own tactics, there is still a chance to beat Manchester City.
In City's dressing room, Rafael Benitez demanded that his team continue to play defensive counter-attacks in the second half.
ββ¦β¦ Chelsea, who have conceded a goal, will surely rush to attack and equalise. All we have to do is be patient and wait patiently for the opportunity. β
Benitez is now confident. The team has already taken the lead, and for a team that plays defensive counter-attacks, the lead almost makes them invincible.
But Benitez overlooked an important factor.
It is not only the strength comparison and player status of the two sides that determine the outcome of the game, but also a very important reason, that is...... Luck.
After the start of the second half, Chelsea played steadily, changing the desperate attacking posture of the first half and rushing up front.
In this way, judging from the scene, it is not as good as the first half, and if it is a layman's view, it will definitely criticize such a table. But the kind of crazy robbery in the first half does have great hidden dangers.
But this kind of steady play has made Manchester City a little unable to find a place to speak.
The second-half stalemate continued, and after fifteen minutes of stalemate, Chelsea launched another attack as usual.
After a series of passes, the ball was passed into the box.
Drogba stopped the ball with his chest in the box, and then when he was about to shoot, he was pushed to the ground by Kompany from behind!
Just as Drogba fell to the ground with a wail, the referee's whistle blew!
"Penalty! Kompany fouls on Drogba! He pushed to the Ivorians! The referee sentenced Manchester City to death! β
Manchester City, after the initial stunned, all reacted.
The nearest centre-back, Dunn, shook his finger and protested to the referee, signalling that it was not a foul and that Kompany did not push.
Other Chelsea players also rushed up to the referee, complaining that Drogba was a fake.
And in the stands, there was a huge cheer from the Chelsea fans.
They saw hope of an equaliser!
Hiddink also pumped his fist off the pitch and applauded the penalty.
As long as he can equalize, his first goal is accomplished. The most important thing is to restore the confidence and fighting spirit of the players, and even if they win the next game, it may not be impossible......
Despite the protests of the entire Manchester City players, the referee did not change his decision, and in fact the referee rarely changed the decision he had already made during the game. So there is little point in this kind of protest appeal.
In the end, the referee dispersed the Manchester City players around him and motioned for the Chelsea players to take the penalty.
Standing in front of the penalty spot was the team's vice-captain, Frank Lampard.
He sets up the football, hears the referee blow the whistle, runs and then smashes it up.
Goalkeeper Joe Hart was completely wrong and the ball flew into the goal from the opposite direction.
Chelsea fans in the stands leapt to their feet, waving their fists and shouting along with Frank Lampard.
"The ball is in! Frank Lampard calmly converts the penalty! Chelsea equalised! Now the two sides are back on the same page! β
The Chelsea players were excited after the goal, hugging Frank Lampard and celebrating in the Manchester City penalty area.
It seems to have been deliberately done to show the Manchester City players and put some pressure on them.
Sue them sΓΉ whose home field this is.
The same goes for the Chelsea fans in the stands.
Every Chelsea guy is caught up in some kind of frenzy.
It seems that all the humiliation they suffered in the last meeting between the two sides will be paid back in this penalty!
After conceding the goal, Kompany also ran to the referee to theorize, thinking that he had not pushed Drogba just now, or that even if he pushed the force, it was not enough to make the strong Drogba fall to the ground, and Drogba was obviously a fake fall.
But his protests had no effect and instead resulted in a yellow card for him.
The referee's approach left City's players angry and frustrated.
The anger is because they think the ball should not be lost, and the opponent is obviously faking the fall. Frustrated because the referee's approach made them unable to resist, they could only bear it.
It's people's home field......
The thought of this makes the Manchester City players feel frustrated.
At this time, no one noticed that Rong Guang was already standing in the center circle, with a football under his feet, waiting for the kickoff.
No one knows when he put the football there.
There was not the slightest trace of frustration or pain on his face.
When Berbatov saw his expression, he was slightly taken aback, and he couldn't understand how he could be so calm when everyone was angry and frustrated.
Glory noticed Berbatov's eyes, and when he looked over, he knew what Berbatov was thinking.
"No big deal. Dimita. He said to Berbatov.
The Champions League-winning player has seen a lot of ups and downs, and a little setback in this game is really not a big deal for him.
"But we have been equalized, the morale of the other side is high, and our ......" Berbatov was still worried, and did not let go of Rong Guang's simple words.
"Don't worry, Dimita." Rongguang saw that Berbatov was anxious, so he comforted.
