While the Manchester City players celebrated their goals, the Chelsea players looked depressed.

Their lead was leveled......

Just like after Manchester City conceded a goal, the Chelsea players were demoralised after conceding a goal.

After taking the lead, they were expecting to extend the lead.

As a result, Manchester City equalised.

Ballack stood still, watching Glory and his teammates celebrate the goal, and he shook his head helplessly.

It seems that he was too happy to stimulate him just now?

Alas......

It's really hard to be against this person.

※※※

After David Silva's equaliser, City's morale was high as they launched a wave of fierce attacks on the Chelsea goal.

For almost ten minutes, Chelsea were held down by Manchester City for even half time, and they ended up being controlled by the City centre-backs at half-time before handing it to Sneijder to relaunch the attack.

Fortunately, Ancelotti adjusted quickly and ordered the team to shrink the defense, so that he withstood the offensive for ten minutes.

Then the first half was over.

City didn't take the lead before half-time, but they equalised.

Chelsea conceded a goal but didn't concede more, so overall the result was acceptable for both sides.

After the break, the two sides will change sides and fight again, and that's when they will fight to the death.

※※※

In the dressing room, no one mentioned David Silva's own goal in the first half.

Since the Spaniard has redeemed himself with a goal, let him pass the past.

Rafael Benitez was in the dressing room talking to his players about the tactics of the second half.

David Silva stole a glimpse of glory.

He saw that Rongguang was listening very seriously, so he quickly gathered his mind and listened carefully.

It was Benitez who spoke about his arrangement in the second half.

'David, you need to attack more on the flanks and tear apart the Chelsea defence. Chelsea are a very disciplined team overall. It's difficult to expect to tear their defence apart by passing the ball back and forth. The most effective way to do this is to create chaos in their defenses by breaking through individually. ”

David Silva nodded hurriedly.

Breakthrough or something, he liked it the most.

※※※

At the start of the second half, David Silva was as lively as he had at the start of the first half.

But because of that own goal in the first half, David Silva's activity is not necessarily a good thing in the eyes of some.

While it's unlikely to score an own goal twice in a single game, it's nothing new to injure yourself by being too active. Probably the most famous of them is Gascoigne.

When Gascoigne was still playing for Tottenham Hotspur, he faced Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup final. In that game, Gascoigne was so excited that he made an unnecessary tackle during the game, which resulted in a tear of the cruciate ligament in his right leg and was suspended for 16 months......

So if David Silva hurt himself because he was too excited, it wouldn't be too surprising.

The odds are high.

However, David Silva's activism did not bring any bad luck to Manchester City this time, nor did he get injured himself, but instead made it difficult for Chelsea's defence.

David Silva is a player with fine footwork and good pace. His attacking prowess was very strong, and that was evident at Euro 2008.

Robinho's footwork is fancy than David Silva's, but David Silva's ability to threaten directly forward may be slightly better.

It didn't take long for Chelsea to discover that David Silva in the second half was different from the first, and that whenever the football fell to David Silva, he always caused problems for them.

In the beginning, Chelsea used only one man to defend David Silva. The result was David Silva stumbling away with ease, providing a dangerous assist. If it weren't for Dimitar Berbatov's shot on target, which was saved by goalkeeper Cech, Manchester City might have overtaken the score......

Soon, Chelsea stepped up their defence against David Silva and they sent one more man.

David Silva is finally not as active as he used to be.

But that changed when Glory moved from the other wing to the middle and moved closer to David Silva.

David Silva is no longer alone. When he faced two Chelsea players defending, he passed the football to glory.

As soon as Glory got the ball, the whole Chelsea were nervous, and even the two Chelsea players defending David Silva unconsciously turned their attention to Glory.

David Silva, on the other hand, took the opportunity to rush forward.

After receiving the ball, Rongguang did not shoot by himself, nor did he break through with the ball, but suddenly sent a straight stopper!

The ball went through the ribs of the Chelsea defence!

The Chelsea players didn't expect Glory to receive the ball and send it straight away, and they were all stunned.

John Mortensen shouted, "David Silva! ”

As soon as the cameras turned, everyone saw David Silva behind the Chelsea backline!

Chelsea's defenders panicked and rushed to David Silva. However, David Silva did not covet the ball, after he caught up with the glorious through ball, he did not stop the ball, nor did he continue to dribble, but directly crossed with his feet!

After the ball arced in the air, it accurately found the center forward Berbatov, who was outflanking the goal in front of the goal.

Berbatov jumped up and shook his head to attack the goal!

The football went into the net, but goalkeeper Petr Cech didn't even react...... Watching the football fly past him into the goal.

"Dimitov! Manchester City overtaked! They overtook them on their home turf! ”

'Assist from David Silva! His activity after the start of the second half finally paid off! ”

'The delicate combination between David Silva and Jung, who had attracted all the Chelsea defenders, left Berbatov empty in the middle and the Bulgarian centre-forward able to score with ease...... The ball was too easy for Berbatov and David Silva's cross was comfortable...... In short, in one word - perfect! ”

After the goal, Berbatov ran towards David Silva.

David Silva, on the other hand, was waving to glory and motioning for him to come over and celebrate his goal.

Three people hugging each other, this is the new trident!

David Silva's breakthrough attracted Chelsea's two-man defence, and then he passed the ball to Young, and after passing the ball himself, he continued to cut forward, and Wing kept the ball straight through, David Silva had already gotten rid of the defense at this time, catching up with the ball and sending it straight into the cross...... What a clear offensive routine! With David Silva, Manchester City are even more dangerous to Chelsea on the edge of the box! ”

Everyone is praising David Silva.

This is completely different from the previous fears that David Silva would be too active and that something bad would happen......

※※※

David Silva has already scored a goal and an assist in this game after setting up Dimitar Berbatov.

But he didn't stop there.

He was still alive in the races that followed, or more so than before......

One glory was a headache for Chelsea players, and now with the addition of David Silva, Chelsea are feeling the pressure on them immediately.

In terms of attitude, David Silva is more positive than Robinho. Perhaps Robinho always felt that he was talented, and Manchester City was second only to glory, so his attitude in the game was not particularly positive. Of course, he is not lazy, but he is just as simple as completing the task that Benitez has given him.

David Silva is different, he will do more and better than just complete the tasks given to him by the manager.

This may be due to the fact that David Silva has a more urgent desire than Robinho to perform well in the game and get more chances to play.

In contrast, Robinho is a little lacking in the motivation of the game because he has already secured the main force.

There was no David Silva before, or David Silva was injured, so no one could threaten Robinho's position.

It's normal for Robinho to be sluggish.

But now after watching David Silva's second-half performance, I believe Benitez will be happy that David Silva has created a threat for Robinho.

Benitez turned to his aides and said, "Now we have someone to spur that lazy Brazilian." ”

Both assistant coaches laughed.

The lazy Brazilian was Robinho.

Although Robinho is much more diligent than before, in the opinion of the demanding Benitez, Robinho's attitude in training and games still does not fully meet his requirements, and the reason why Robinho can still be used as a starter is because there is no better player than Robinho.

Originally, he bought David Silva to replace Robinho, but David Silva injured himself when he first came to the team.

Now that David Silva has fully recovered, Benitez wants to see what threat he can pose to Robinho.

※※※

In the end, Manchester City relied on a goal and an assist from David Silva on their home turf to beat Chelsea 2-1.

The last laugh in the battle for the first and second place in the league.

After the game, the focus of the reporters was on David Silva. The unlucky guy who scored an own goal shortly after the start of the game and led his team to fall behind, but then completed a gorgeous turn.

If you want to say that Manchester City beat Chelsea at home, it is him!

Even Glory doesn't feel like he's stealing the limelight.

"It's normal for him to have such a look, because he's strong."

In the face of reporters, Rongguang's evaluation of David Silva is very high.
