Guus Hiddink is reluctant to meet a Manchester City side in good form, but the Chelsea players are not thinking so.

They even want City to play as hard as they can because that's the only way they can get their revenge – in the league, Chelsea lost to City at home for tactical reasons. The defeat in this game has been haunting the Chelsea players for a long time. It was also because of the defeat in this game that the Chelsea players were unhappy with the manager Guus Hiddink.

Chelsea players have long felt that they should not give up on attacking on their home turf and opt for a rigid defense. If they play according to normal tactics, they may not lose at home to Manchester City.

The final defeat to Manchester City was all a matter of tactical arrangement.

So in this FA Cup semi-final, the Chelsea players are bent on beating Manchester City, taking revenge and returning all the grievances of the previous defeat to Manchester City.

Before the start of the game, players from both sides waited in the tunnel to play.

Glory just stood quietly, not chatting with anyone, and then his name was called behind him.

He looked back and laughed.

"Michelle."

Michel Barak walked up with a smile on his face, opened his arms, and took the initiative to hug Glory tightly.

"I shouldn't have done that, because I'm going to be against you in a moment." Barak said. "I warn you, Rong, you don't want to beat us again in this game."

"Not necessarily, Michelle." Glory smiled and shook his head.

'The whole Chelsea team was very unhappy with the last time we lost to you because we didn't actually do anything and we lost. We've trained hard to be able to beat you guys in this game. Barak lowered his voice slightly.

"That's good, Michelle. If you don't have any fighting spirit, it's boring for the FA Cup semi-finals. ”

Barak smiled and punched Glory: "Sure enough, it's your style, see you on the court, I won't show mercy this time!" ”

"That's what I should say, Michelle."

The two men hugged again, then separated. Glory stood still while Barak returned to his own team, greeting his teammates.

Rongguang retracted his gaze, and the exit of the passage to guò looked outside, and continued to wait for the exit.

Ballack was right, Chelsea were holding back their energy to teach Manchester City a lesson, so when the game started, Chelsea were very active, every player was running actively, and they even pushed their pressing to the edge of the Manchester City penalty area, which made the Manchester City players very uncomfortable - they really didn't expect Chelsea to be so aggressive in this game.

“…… The Chelsea players are like angry bulls, their eyes are red...... ' jokingly mocked John Mortensen. But he was right, the Chelsea players were really angry, and seeing Manchester City was like an enemy looking at each other......

After the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City, the whole of England was laughing at them for being second in the league and so lacking. As a result, they lost the game, and fell from the second place in the league, giving up second place to Liverpool.

The impact of the defeat on Chelsea was not limited to that one, as the defeat to Manchester City was followed by a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur.

The team seems to have lost some confidence and fighting spirit.

They desperately need to beat Manchester City again in this game if they are to regain their confidence.

Not to mention that the FA Cup semi-final was played at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea were at home and where they suffered a humiliating 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last time out.

The same stadium, just for revenge.

※※※

Manchester City's side really didn't think much of the fighting spirit of the Chelsea players, and with just ten minutes into the game, they made Chelsea's front court a little scrambling and very wolf-like.

Thankfully, the backline was always able to organise at the last minute, otherwise they would have conceded.

The Chelsea fans in the stands saw Chelsea having such a watch and shouted loudly to cheer for the Chelsea players.

This is the Chelsea they want to see, this is the Chelsea they support, Chelsea played a fart in that league game!

The Chelsea Radio commentator was also excitedly chanting: "This is Chelsea!" This is the normal Blues! Come on, move on! Show Manchester City how good we are! ”

Frank Lampard had a long-range shot from the edge of the box that Joe Hart couldn't save and the ball was on the verge of the post, but the ball brazed the edge of the post before ...... Fly out of the bottom line!

There was a huge exclamation from the stands at Stamford Bridge for Frank Lampard to miss a goalscoring opportunity.

'It's only a matter of time before Chelsea score if we continue to play like this......,' said John Mortensen.

Mark Bowen stood beside Benitez worriedly and told him: 'Chelsea are clearly looking forward to avenging their defeat in the league, this game is too bad for us and I fear the players will get injured in such a tight game...... Look at Frank Lampard's long-range shot, the Chelsea players ...... in the build-up'

He was talking about Ballack's pressing of Elano, who knocked over Elano from the side and grabbed the ball. The City players thought it was a foul but the referee was indifferent and Lampard took the opportunity to finish with a very high quality shot.

Elano lay on the ground and did not get up, making the Manchester City dugout nervous, for fear that the central midfielder was injured.

Elano isn't a particularly qualified playmaker, but he's already the best playmaker in the Manchester City midfield...... He really can't get hurt.

Otherwise, Manchester City's offensive routine is too simple, and it is easy to be targeted by the opponent to die.

Fortunately, Elano sat on the ground and complained to the referee a few words, and then got up from the ground and looked fine.

But that still worries Mark Bowen, an assistant coach. It's no problem this time, it doesn't mean that there will be no problem in the future, Chelsea continue to play like this, Manchester City will definitely have players injured.

That's why he thinks this game should be abandoned...... He knew Chelsea would not rest on their laurels when they met Manchester City......

If City had sent on a substitute, even if someone was injured, the loss and impact on the team would have been minimal.

But Benitez wanted to listen to the glory and sent almost all the main forces...... Who exactly is the manager? Glory is just a player, isn't it the head coach Benitez who decides who can play and who can't?

But Benitez was indifferent to Mark Bowen's concerns.

In his opinion, it is not a bad thing that the Chelsea players are attacking so hard.

The Chelsea players are clearly surrounded by anger that will burn their sanity......

Manchester City was supposed to play defensive counter-attacks, so why not let them attack? Since they dare to press to the front of our penalty area to grab, then we dare to fight their counterattack!

Burning rage?

Someone over there will put out the fire for them.

Hiddink wasn't happy that his players were getting a lot of chances. Because none of those chances turned into goals.

Football is a game of results, if you don't score, what's the use of attacking more?

That doesn't mean Chelsea have kept City down, but what do they like? It's a counterattack!

But he couldn't control the players. Quite simply, that's definitely not how his tactics are arranged, and he will never let the team's defence be pressed so high against a glorious Manchester City......

It was all the work of the Chelsea players themselves, carried away by their anger.

After that game, he not only upset his boss Roman Abramovich, but also lost the support and trust of his players.

In other words, he has little prestige in the team.

So the players will just bypass him and make such a move, so they don't want to.

Hiddink doesn't expect to renew his contract with the club at the end of the season, he just wants to be able to at least leave the team with a title before leaving, proving that he is not as incompetent as the media suggests.

But now it seems...... It's really hard.

A manager who has lost control of the team and talks about winning the championship?

Even if he gets past Manchester City, will he be able to beat the winner of Manchester United and Everton in the final?

Frank Lampard's long-range strike missed the scoring, but it was a huge morale and confidence boost.

The Chelsea players now believe they can really beat Manchester City at home, in their way.

At the same time, the Chelsea fans in the stands were delighted as the atmosphere at home was very lively, much better than the last time the two sides met in the league.

It was also Chelsea's home stadium, but it was quiet at Stamford Bridge because of Chelsea's conservative tactics.

Although Chelsea's tactics were not very aggressive when Mourinho was there, they were still very sharp in defending and counter-attacking overall, and there were still attacks. And against a team like Manchester City, there has never been such a stubborn defense.

Moreover, in the end, such a low-profile stubborn defense, and the loss of the game, it is not difficult to understand the anger of Chelsea fans.

Cheered on by the Chelsea fans, the Chelsea players were in high spirits and continued to attack the Manchester City goal, pressing aggressively up front to keep City from even half-time.

It looks like a goal could happen at any moment, as Mortensen said......

Morteson was right.

※※※

Chelsea ended a wave of attacking and it was City's turn to attack.

Chelsea's players did not withdraw entirely, but retained a portion of their forces to besiege City's ball-carrying players up front.

They rely on this to create some chances in the front court.

Chelsea have been able to press Manchester City from the beginning of the game to the present, and it is also on this basis.

This was considered a successful tactic.

But this time, something seems to be different.

City didn't pass backwards at the back, they sent the ball straight up front.

Centre-back Vincent Kompany sent the ball wide with a long diagonal pass.

And it was the glory that received the ball on the wing.

He pulled up wide and stopped Kompany's long ball.

As soon as he got on the ball, he saw Chelsea's left-back Ashley Cole, who had already been in front of him.

Glory didn't pretend to make a feint and then come in a meaningless cross.

After he took control of the football, his body jerked forward, which was a posture to break through.

Ashley Cole didn't dare to slack off, keeping an eye on the football at Glory's feet to see where he was going.

I saw Rongguang use the outside of his right foot to move the football to the bottom line, which means to go to the bottom line.

So Ashley Cole quickly turned around and headed for the baseline.

But just as he adjusted his center of gravity, he saw that Rongguang's right foot deducted the football that had flown to the bottom line!

Oxtail!

No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than the soccer ball slipped between his legs!

He was startled, and his body wanted to turn to chase the ball, but the center of gravity could not be adjusted, and the inertia made him fall directly backwards!

At the same time, Glory swept past the left side of his body, caught up with the football, and burst into the penalty area!

"Nice break! Rong is coming! ”

Seeing Glory break in, Chelsea's penalty area was in chaos, almost all defenders rushed towards Glory, and goalkeeper Petr Cech also pounced on the near corner - Glory is the most dangerous player, they keep this in mind, so any action of Glory is easy for them to overreact......

Just as the encirclement was about to take shape, the football came out of the gap in the encirclement - the glorious pass!

He didn't choose to come on his own, but to pass the ball!

The soccer ball flies against the turf to the empty space in the middle of the goal!

Cech watched the ball pass down the middle, he quickly pushed a post with his hand, and then reflexively pounced!

But it was too late, and Robinho, who suddenly cut diagonally into the middle from the ribs, swept the glorious football into the goal!

There's no empty door to enter this time!

“GOOOOOOOOOAL！！ Robinho!! He took the lead for Manchester City! ”
