Manchester City's away game against Chelsea, from the very beginning, everyone found that Chelsea were on the defensive......

Chelsea, playing at home, defended from the very beginning of the game!

And when they defend, they are still very tight, and it is completely a ...... Hold on to the stance!

Even the commentator Mortensen and guest commentator Alan Hansen were strange – with Chelsea's quality, they shouldn't have been so low at home......

"I really suspect that both teams are wearing the wrong shirts...... Even if Manchester City's recent momentum has been strong, it won't be like this, right? Alan Hansen complained.

"Maybe it was influenced by Liverpool's home defeat to Manchester City...... 'Mortsen analysed. After all, until then, Liverpool were on par with Chelsea in the standings......"

It's a surprise, but it's pretty good.

Throughout the first half, Glory really didn't score a goal under the defense of the whole Chelsea team, and even the number of shots on goal was only three, which was much worse than his usual game table.

After the end of the first half, the first half was being discussed in the studios of the various TV stations.

“…… The first half was a dull half, with neither side scoring. City's lack of goals was due to glory at the heart of the team, which was largely frozen by Chelsea in this half. Rong is the heart of Manchester City, and if he has a problem here and does not run well, then City's attack is prone to problems...... This first half has proven that. Chelsea didn't score because they spent all their energy on defending and naturally didn't have much to invest in attack......

"It's ugly, but it's good...... But I have a question, are Chelsea going to be satisfied with a draw at home? Although Manchester City won Liverpool and Aston Villa in succession, objectively helped Chelsea...... But Chelsea's position is still not stable......"

'I think in the first half Hiddink should have been based on not conceding goals first, and then the rest...... Maybe Chelsea's tactics will be adjusted in the second half...... They're probably going to be on the lookout. In fact, this game is forced to be more patient between the two sides......"

※※※

Everyone analyzed and analyzed, and after the start of the second half of the game, it was found that Hiddink did not mean to adjust the tactics, and Chelsea was still holding on.

It looks like he's really determined to keep a draw at home......

"What a coward!" Alan Hansen pouted disdainfully.

Are you so cowardly because you're afraid of losing? It's not at all in line with his football aesthetic. He believes that football is a pure man's sport, and even if he knows that he is defeated, he should bravely meet it and face his opponent head-on.

So he looked down on Hiddink.

But I have to admit that this has worked, at least Glory has not scored since the start of the second half......

The television broadcasts frequently give close-ups of Glory and Hiddink, which is meaningful.

It seems that Hiddink is trapped in glory......

If you don't think about the question of whether Chelsea should win this game at home...... In that sense alone, Hiddink did a good job.

You know, the head coach of many teams racks his brains and thinks about how to contain the glory in the game. In their eyes, glory is Manchester City, and as long as they can contain glory, they can contain Manchester City.

Now, Hiddink's tactical approach may provide a new reference and way of thinking for everyone......

So in this game, in fact, the coaches of many teams are paying close attention.

Those coaches who didn't have a game at the time, were watching the live broadcast. At that time, the coaches who had a game could not see the live broadcast of the game for the first time, and they would also let their assistants record the game and wait for them to go back and study it slowly.

Judging from the close-up of the TV, Hiddink's expression has always been calm, while on Manchester City's side, Benitez stood on the sidelines, frowning and looking at the pitch, as if he was a little unhappy with his team's delay in scoring goals.

This scene really made many Manchester City fans have to sigh - in the first half of the season, Manchester City was able to make Chelsea play on their home turf almost without the ability to fight back, only Glory scored a face-saving goal for the team, avoiding the embarrassment of the team being shaved bald by Chelsea.

How could a Manchester City fan at that time have imagined that one day they will play on Chelsea's home turf, against second-placed Chelsea, and will be unhappy that they have not been able to score......

Is this really the same Manchester City side from last season?

Their team has become so strong before they know it!

Although the team has yet to win the game, it is also ...... to watch them bombard Chelsea's penalty area It's pretty cool.

But...... If you can score a goal and win, it will be even better.

※※※

The game went to the 75th minute, fifteen minutes before the end of the game, and the score was still 0:0.

Chelsea seem to be really determined to come out with a draw at home.

In Hiddink's view, even if this game can't be won, if it is drawn, then there is still a point to be gained, but if the game is lost, then there is not even this point.

Fighting for the league title or something, Hiddink honestly doesn't think his Chelsea can still do it, as long as they can hold on to second place in the league now, it's a good result.

It's really not good, and it has to be in the top four, although Hiddink doesn't think it will be difficult to stay in the top four.

In such a situation, a point is also very important.

It was in this situation that Glory received a pass from a team-mate on the edge of the Chelsea penalty area.

This time, he was finally able to face the Chelsea goal head-on.

But in front of him was a dense crowd of people, with Chelsea defenders and Manchester City players.

Everyone was crowded in the penalty area, and there was simply no room left for him. Even if he wanted to repeat his old trick and score the same way he did against Liverpool, he wouldn't be able to score a goal.

Faced with such a situation, Glory only had one way to shoot from a distance, but the Chelsea players were very close to him, as long as he picked up his foot and shot from a distance, the time to accumulate power would completely let the football out of his control, enough for the Chelsea players to cut off the football - he had tried to shoot from distance before, but his long-range shot could not threaten the Chelsea goal under the opposition's close marking.

This time, Chelsea's defense is still tight, and it can be considered "airtight".

Chelsea have a tradition of defending well and there was no pressure to play such extreme defensive tactics in this game.

Glory was a little anxious when he didn't have the ball at his feet, because there was not much time left in the game, and he hadn't scored yet, and the team didn't take the lead, so there was no hope of winning.

He is hoping to beat Chelsea away from home as he aims to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

Because Manchester City owed too much debt in the first half of the season, even if they are chasing all the way now, they are still in seventh place, ten points away from the top four in the league. To be in the remaining ten rounds...... If you don't count this game, there will only be nine league games, and to catch up with this 10-point gap in these nine league rounds, winning every game is very important.

Especially against the top four teams in the league is a win, it is a victory of six points.

So this game has to be won, no matter what difficulties he encounters...... None of this is a reason to be indifferent to watching three points become one.

Glory looked anxious when he didn't have the ball at his feet, but once the ball fell to his feet, he calmed down.

His brain was running at high speed, thinking of solutions.

And the time left for her to think about countermeasures is very short, maybe not in two or three seconds, maybe he will come up with a plan in a second.

What is the situation in front of him now, he also knows very well.

There is no time and no space, the two most important elements of football are gone in his current situation.

So how do you break the deadlock?

Just kick it, or turn the ball around?

None of this is what Glory wants.

He looked at the dense crowd in the restricted area and suddenly thought of ...... Isn't this just a human wall?

It's a wall in a free-kick, but there's only one wall, and now there's a lot of wall in the box, and they're blocking their shots and the Chelsea goalkeeper's view.

If you kick the ball like a free-kick, will you be able to bypass the "human wall" in these penalty areas and let the ball fly into the goal......

The only problem now is that the free kick seems to be going to run, and he doesn't want to run now, I'm afraid he can break the ball under his feet if he pulls his leg a little away now......

So he had to shoot the ball as fast as he could, before the opponent could react......

Rong Guang remembered that he happened to be practicing a free-kick on the line of the penalty area recently.

At that distance, with the strength of his feet, he does not need to run, so he almost always kicks on the spot in practice, and at the same time, in order to control the speed, height and arc of the football, his legs do not swing too much, mainly relying on the strength of his calves, which alone is enough.

A very bold idea popped into his head – could I take a free-kick to deal with the situation I was facing?

The idea was very bold, because no one had tried it before, and Rongguang himself had never tried it, so he didn't know if it would succeed.

But in the current situation, even if it fails, there will be no worse outcome.

So why not give it a try?

As soon as this idea popped up, it was difficult to suppress, Rongguang must try it, and he personally liked this challenge very much.

Glory's heart turned a thousand times, but in fact, only a second had passed.

He made a decision.
