Chapter 983 - Make up for it

On December 5, the "battle of focus" in the mouth of the media finally came.

Manchester City Stadium was packed to the brim, and Manchester City fans took the game very seriously.

If City can beat Chelsea at home, they will be four points ahead of Chelsea with a game in hand.

With this four-point advantage in the upcoming Christmas fixtures, Manchester City will have a slight ease.

Even if you don't win a game, you won't be overtaken by Chelsea.

Rong Guang thinks that this game is very ordinary, that is just his opinion, in fact, most people agree with the media's opinion - this is a strong conversation, a battle of focus, to decide the league position.

Chelsea did not shrink their defence against Manchester City this time, and although Carlo Ancelotti's side played on the counter-attack on the road, it was completely different from the reflex of giving up attack.

Facing such a strong home side at Manchester City's home stadium, there is no problem opting for defensive counter-attacks.

The most important thing is that the team has counter-attacks.

And last season's Hiddink completely gave up on attacking.

Once the game began, Manchester City, playing at home, took the initiative and launched a fierce attack on the Chelsea goal in the hope of scoring first at home to take the lead.

Chelsea, on the other hand, were only able to threaten City's goal on the counter-attack.

Even the commentator John Mortensen said that "Manchester City have kept Chelsea at bay".

But it wasn't Manchester City who scored first, it was ...... Chelsea.

However, it was not a Chelsea player who scored the goal, but a Manchester City player......

"Drogba! Joe Hart pounced on the ball, but it still rolled tenaciously towards the goal line! Kompany returned to the goal line and he cleared the ball with his big foot! ”

It was a Chelsea counter-attack, with three passes and two downs, the ball falling to Didier Drogba's feet and the Ivory Coast centre-forward firing a furious shot that flew towards the goal on turf.

Joe Hart slammed the ball into the pounce, but it rolled towards the goal.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were about to scream, Kompany slapped his horse and cleared the siege with a big foot!

All agreed that the crisis was resolved.

But at this time, Kompany's big kick hit David Silva!

"David Silva – oh no! The ball is in! The ball is in! ”

John Mortenson's tone was full of twists and turns, and the mood of Manchester City fans was like a rollercoaster.

"Own goal! David Silva scores an own goal! ”

Drogba, who had scored the own goal, turned and rushed to his team-mates, hugging them to celebrate the goal.

David Silva, on the other hand, stood in front of goal in a daze as he finally won his chance to start, which he thought was his own.

As a result, he scored an own goal in less than ten minutes of the game!

What the!

In order to be able to express himself as much as he can, he is not only active in attack, but also actively defends when defending. As a result, it now seems that he was wrong to come back so aggressively and participate in the defense......

Chelsea's counter-attack just now, he went from the forward line all the way back to the Manchester City penalty area. He then saw Didier Drogba's shot saved by Joe Hart, but the ball was still rolling towards the goal, and he accelerated back, hoping to be a goal-line hero and clear the ball on the goal-line.

But if he doesn't rush over, maybe he'll be fine.

He rushed aggressively, but Kompany kicked the ball on him and bounced into the goal......

What bad luck!

David Silva looked back at the cheering Chelsea players and wanted to cry without tears!

※※※

'Silva was unlucky, starting in place of Robinho and scoring an own goal in the opening kick-off. Hopefully this ball doesn't affect his mood and form......"

'We had a lot of predictions before the game and we thought Chelsea would score first, but we never expected Chelsea to take the lead in this way......

'David Silva was very positive from the start of the game, both offensively and defensively, he was seen from every corner. But I must point out that this kind of activity and positivity is not a good thing. He's a little too excited......"

"David Silva is still too young......

David Silva would have vomited blood if he had been able to hear the commentators' comments - he had not yet made a good deal of such a positive appearance!

But if David Silva had heard the Chinese idiom "haste is not enough", he would have known what he had done wrong......

※※※

The Chelsea fans in the stands cheered for their lead.

'It looked like it was a surprise but I think Chelsea had signs before the goal. Carlo Ancelotti's tactics were counter-tactical, and the counter-attacks worked. If you keep playing like this, even if you don't score this goal, Chelsea will score sooner or later! ”

The Chelsea Radio commentator said excitedly.

And the Chelsea fans who couldn't follow the team to the away stadium cheered in front of the TV and radio.

"That's right! We're going to score sooner or later! ”

'The win in this game will definitely belong to Chelsea!'

※※※

Losing a goal at the beginning of a game doesn't want to happen to anyone, let alone an own goal.

It's such a morale blow.

The players can't even complain, they can't publicly blame David Silva, right?

They hold their breath but have nowhere to vent.

It's so unconvincing to lose the ball like this!

As the captain of the team, Rongguang didn't say anything to encourage his teammates, nor did he stand up and do anything.

He just stood in the center circle with Berbatov and waited for the game to restart.

"Hey......"

Berbatov, who was opposite, suddenly sighed, and Glory glanced up at him.

"I've felt since yesterday that the love of the Spaniards is not quite right. Yesterday he shared a room with me, but he was so excited that I fell asleep until twelve o'clock. Now he's too excited......" Berbatov explained to Rongguang. "Still too young......"

He shook his head.

It was at this point that the Chelsea players who had joined in the celebration all ran back to their own half.

The game is about to restart.

When Barak ran past Glory, he turned to him and winked at him: "Oolong, even God is on our side." This time it was our turn to win! ”

Glory replied to him in German: "Dream! ”

Berbatov, who had played in the Bundesliga for many years, understood the conversation between the two of them, and he looked at Glory and then at Ballack.

Barak ran backwards, smiling exaggeratedly.

David Silva was not as active as before when the game restarted, and he seemed to be worried that he would do his good intentions and do something like an own goal.

He honestly stayed in the range of activities that Benitez had set for him, and would never go beyond the thunder pool.

After getting the ball, he also did his best to pass the football to his teammates, and he was not too willing to take responsibility.

After scoring an own goal, his emotions fluctuated a lot, and he didn't know how to face the next game at this time.

It looks like the offense on his side has been largely scrapped.

"Now I can only watch Rong!"

That's what the commentators say.

Chelsea, for their part, have also shifted their defensive focus to Glory.

As long as Glory gets the ball, there are at least two Chelsea players around him.

Glory had picked up the ball in the middle and was forced to the side by the Chelsea defenders.

The Chelsea fans in front of the TV cheered as the team completed a successful defence.

It looks like there's no escape from glory.

But Rongguang still wanted to break through, and he forced the ball into the penalty area.

The entire Chelsea defence was drawn to him and all eyes and attention fell on him.

"Rong forcibly broke through! But there are so many people in front of him, it's not a good choice! ”

John Mortenson shouted.

To outsiders, Glory is surrounded by Chelsea players, and they surround Glory and can barely see it.

It is absolutely impossible for Rongguang to break through, even if he is lucky enough to enter the penalty area, such a dense defense will not even give him a chance to shoot with his feet!

But at this moment, the football suddenly rolled out of the encirclement!

And did not pick up Berbatov, but a little bigger, and went straight to the back point!

The football passed behind Berbatov.

"This ball is ...... big"

But before John Mortensen could finish his words, he saw a man rushing up from behind!

"David Silva!" Alan Hansen exclaimed.

In the midst of his shouts, David Silva, who scored an own goal, met the ball with a furious shot!

The ball was like a cannonball, straight towards the goal.

And Cech, who had been defending at the front post, hastily moved to the back post at this time, and it was too late to make a save, when the ball had already hit the net behind him.

"David Silva! He equalised! He's going to make up for it! ”

"Everyone at Chelsea was drawn to the past and completely forgot about David Silva, who was not very active anymore!"

※※※

David Silva was stunned for a moment after the goal, and then he ran for glory.

This goal was an opportunity for Rongguang to come out, if it wasn't for Rongguang's forced breakthrough and attracted the attention of Chelsea's defense, how could he rush to the back post to shoot so easily?

This goal made him let go of all the previous mental burdens at once.

Liberate him from the shadow of the own goal.

Some people may think that the glory is passed on, but David Silva knows that the glory is deliberately passed on to himself!

He's trying to help himself!

David Silva pounced on him and hugged Glory.

"Thank you!" He shouted in the ear of glory.

Rongguang patted him on the back: "Good shot!" ”

More City players rushed up and surrounded them.

The equaliser before the end of the first half was really good news.

And David Silva's goal also gave them a reassurance, and they were a little impatient after conceding the goal.

Now there's no need to worry, we're back on the same page with them!

"Well done, David!"

Everyone patted David Silva on the shoulder and head and praised him loudly.
