1087 Heels?
Glory was closely guarded by Chelsea players in this game, with little space.
Ancelotti was determined to contain the glory this time, so that he couldn't even get the ball.
As soon as Glory receives the ball, the Chelsea players will immediately crash into him from all directions, leaving him unbalanced or unable to control the ball.
In such a situation, it is really difficult for Rongguang to hold the ball, let alone attack. For a while, he couldn't even turn around under Chelsea's close press.
He did have moments when he turned with the ball, but as soon as he turned, the ball was ruined by the Chelsea players who rushed up.
There was very little space between Chelsea defenders and defenders, leaving Glory with little reaction time.
In such a situation, it is difficult for Glory to play anything.
If it had been last season, Manchester City might have been smothered by Chelsea.
But this season they brought in new players in the summer!
This time, luck was on City's side.
In the first half, the two sides played inextricably and the battle ended in a 0:0 draw.
At the start of the second half, in the 62nd minute of the game, Manchester City launched an attack.
Glory is still surrounded by Chelsea players, and it is impossible to receive the ball at all.
After seeing this scene on the wing, Barnes also gave up his plan to pass the football to glory, and he made a feint to pass the ball and continued to dribble the ball.
Then, when he was close to the baseline, he passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area!
Glory was thrust in front of goal, with two Chelsea defenders still flanked by him.
The other Manchester City player in front of goal was Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was flanked by a Chelsea defender.
Chelsea were almost extreme defensively.
Every Manchester City player who enters the box will be defended.
Barnes kicked the ball straight to the front of the goal.
That's where Ibrahimovic is!
Ibrahimovic ran towards the ball, but he was always clinging to Chelsea's centre-back Alex, so in this case, he certainly couldn't stop the football, and it was difficult to shoot directly because from the route he was running, the goal was behind his body, how could he shoot when Alex was close to the goal?
Ibrahimovic was quick to publish the answer.
I saw that when he ran forward, he suddenly raised his left leg, but instead of lifting forward, he picked it up, and at the same time his body deviated to the right, just giving way to the football!
Did he make a mistake?
How could it be!
Ibrahimovic's backward left leg swung like a whip and his heel hit the ball right onto it!
The soccer ball in the air suddenly changed direction and flew from behind him towards the goal!
Goalkeeper Petr Cech didn't expect Ibrahimovic to shoot with such a stealthy defence, and when he saw the ball flying towards goal, it was too late to make a save, so he could only watch the ball fly into the back post from the back post......
"Ibrahimovic! Heels! Brilliant shot!! John Mortensen shouted. Genius Strike! ”
He was right, Chelsea's dense defence was shattered by a brilliant blow from Ibrahimovic......
Manchester City lead Chelsea 1-0 at home!
※※※
Ibrahimovic was so excited after the goal that he rushed to the corner flag area and kicked the corner flag out of the hole with a standard taekwondo move!
For Ibrahimovic, who has not scored in two consecutive league games and is behind the glory in terms of league goals and Champions League goals, this goal vented all his frustration.
This ball made him shine!
A goal with a backheel is a rare goal.
But in such an important game, Ibrahimovic broke the deadlock on the field with such a goal. It is conceivable that this weekend will be filled with articles and voices discussing his ball in the media all over England.
All will mention their names, and glory ...... Let him be forgotten!

Ancelotti saw such a conceded ball and held his head with both hands - he could lose the ball like this, and he really couldn't help it.
If it had been Manchester City last season, he might have won. But this season's Manchester City still has Ibrahimovic!
Glory and Ibrahimovic are both talented players who can change the game with a single flash of talent!
In comparison, on the Chelsea side, although there are many stars, there are not many players with the talent of Glory and Ibrahimovic, or it can be said that there is none, and no one can reach the level of Glory and Ibrahimovic in terms of talent......
※※※
In the end, Manchester City beat Chelsea 1-0 on their home turf thanks to a back-heel goal from Ibrahimovic to secure the crucial victory.
With this victory, Manchester City also jumped to second in the league table from fourth previously, and the gap between them and Chelsea has also changed from four points to one.
This shows how important Ibrahimovic's goal is......
Ibrahimovic was right in the game, and after the game, all the media were talking about his brilliant goal.
He can be described as out of the limelight. Compared to the others, Rongguang's appearance in this game is a little darker.
For the first time since Ibrahimovic's move to Manchester City, he has overwhelmed the glory in a competition.
It was enough for him to be happy for a week.
In the past few days, Ibrahimovic has even been rewarded for his voice in the dressing room more than usual, which shows that he is really happy.

The whole media was full of news about Ibrahimovic's backheel scoring the Chelsea goal, and turning on the TV was also a replay of Ibrahimovic's goal.
It's as if you can't hide from the ends of the earth.
The word "heel" simply washes the brains of glory.
Looking at the frozen moment of Ibrahimovic's heel goal in the Manchester Evening News, Glory was in a daze.
Debola thought that Glory had been stolen by Ibrahimovic, so she was a little upset and tried to comfort him: "It's just a ball......"
Unexpectedly, Rongguang suddenly asked: "Have I ever scored a goal with a heel?" ”
This question stunned Debora, who frowned and thought very seriously, searching in her memory.
The goals of Glori's career flashed through Debola's mind one by one.
There were barbs, there were volleys, there were free-kicks, there were long-range shots, there were empty shots pushed past the goalkeeper, there were headers...... There are many ways to score goals, even penalties, but it seems to be ...... It seems like...... It's true...... No heel break?
"I don't remember that." Debora said.
Rongguang nodded: "As I thought, I don't remember ever hitting a football into the goal with my heel." ”
He then stared at Ibrahimovic in the photo.
"Hmm...... I want to try. ”
"Heel goal?"
"Yes." Glory nodded in reply.
"But you can't practice this, can you? This was an improvisation on a whim during the game, and it was an inspiration ......"
"I didn't say I wanted to practice, I meant I was going to try it in the competition. Ibrahimovic can improvise, and so can I! Glory pouted, feeling that Debora seemed to be a little disbelieving in herself.
"Ah, yes, you can too!" Debora immediately heard his affection from Glory's words, so she hurriedly encouraged.
"That's pretty much it."
Debora rolled her eyes: "Are you a child?" Still need my encouragement? ”
"No, it's not encouragement, it's believing, it's believing, believing!" Glory banged on the table to correct Debola. "You're my agent, you're my child's mother, you have to trust me! In any case, you have to trust me! ”
"Well, I believe in you, I believe in you 100%, and I will never doubt your ability." Debora surrenders.

After the match against Chelsea, the second round of the Champions League group stage is here.
Manchester City are hosting last season's Eredivisie champions FC Twente.
Benitez has repeatedly stressed to his players that the team that can win the Eredivisie is not a weak team, and that Twente should not be underestimated, otherwise they will be like Inter Milan, who were held to a 2-2 draw away from home.
“…… We won the first round and went ahead of the group table, which is a good momentum. But I don't want that momentum to come to an abrupt end in the second round of the group stage. So you have to give your all in the game against Twente and don't give the other side any chance! ”
Benitez is afraid that Manchester City's players will underestimate a team like FC Twente, and while this is normal, it can be harmful in the game.
One of my main responsibilities as a manager is to guard against underdog opponents.
Morale was also high for FC Twente, who drew 2-2 at home to defending champions Inter Milan in the first round of the Champions League group stage.
The gesture has given their team more expectations and new ambitions for FC Twente's head coach Predholm and his players.
Bordeaux were in a group with Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City last season, and no one thought they could qualify from this group before.
But in the end, Bordeaux, as the champion of Ligue 1, joined hands with Manchester City to qualify from this group!
What Bordeaux can do, why can't we?
We are also going to qualify from this group with Manchester City!
Judging from the group stage of the first round, Werder Bremen is also a soft persimmon, and Inter Milan is just like that, so the real opponent is only one Manchester City.
You don't have to win away from Manchester City, as long as you can not lose it, it will be a victory for Twente!
