David Silva felt he was in great shape, so when he saw a good free-kick opportunity, he wanted to try his footwork.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't ask for free throws in the front court, because he was just a newcomer to the team, not a big star, not much famous, not even the absolute main force in the team, naturally he didn't have the confidence to fight for free throws with his teammates, in addition, free kicks are not what he is particularly good at, his ability to take set-pieces can only be regarded as average, so he won't fight for penalties at all.

But today was a little different, David Silva felt like he was in great shape, he felt like he was playing with both feet, and when he saw that no team-mates were fighting for a penalty, he ran over and asked for it.

Manchester City's players with good footwork, only Anelka can get it, if it is better to take a long-distance free kick, Lescott and captain Distin, Andy Cole and others can take penalties, this kind of free kick from close to the wall, no one is good at it, Anelka is not good at this side of the position, the result can only be Morris to take the penalty.

Morris originally wanted to try a free throw, if he can score, if he doesn't, forget it, and saw David Silva take the initiative to make free throws, so he handed over the free throws, and he himself was not sure at all anyway.

Then Silva stood in front of the ball.

All of a sudden, all the cameras were pointing at the game, which was already in the spotlight, David Silva had already been in a good form before, he had received a lot of attention, and now he was standing on the set-piece penalty spot, which attracted all the attention.

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate said, "This Spaniard is going to be famous!" 'It's not a flattery, it's a flattery, it's a narrative of facts, and before the game, a lot of fans didn't know that there was a David Silva at Manchester City, but now they do

Wan Sheng half-crouched on the sidelines, watching the Chelsea half.

He saw the action of the players on the pitch and saw David Silva about to make a penalty. He pursed his lips and said to Diamares, "Do you think David can do it?" ”

"You don't have faith in him?"

"Nope." Wan Sheng shook his head, "I didn't know he could still take set-pieces. ”

"I really didn't have it before, but he grabbed the free throws, so he should be a little sure." Diamares said hesitantly.

"Perhaps."

Wan Sheng didn't say anything more, he knows the abilities of every player in the team well, David Silva is the player he focuses on developing, and he naturally knows Silva's ability.

David Silva's set-piece ability is not outstanding, with only a '89' rating. If it was the Derby County team more than two years ago, this evaluation value would be quite outstanding, but when you move to Manchester City, who are now the top team in the league, it is actually nothing, and many players can reach this value in set-piece ability.

As far as David Silva himself is concerned, he stands out for his dribbling, his pace, his passing, his shots in front of goal are not too prominent, and his set-piece ability can only be said to be as good as those good free-kick takers.

In a word. David Silva's free-kick prowess is hard to hope for.

But it's not just the stats that speak for themselves, a player's condition is more important than his ability, in this game. David Silva is in very good form, maybe that position is what he's good at, and he can score the ball?

Thinking of this, Wan Sheng suddenly had some expectations

Chelsea have lined up a four-man wall. The other players were also in their positions and ready for the free-kick.

'Standing in front of the ball now is David Silva, the Spanish youngster who joined Manchester City in the summer. In the six months since he arrived in the Premier League, Silva has gradually grown up, and his appearances at Manchester City have gradually increased, and now he has occupied an important position, and we seem to see a rectangle rising.

'David Silva was quite good in this game and Manchester City couldn't have scored without his good performance.

'Arguably by far he was the best player on the pitch, completely overshadowing the likes of Maurice, Nicolas Anelka, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba'

"Now he's ready to take a free-kick, it's just the right position, but it still takes a lot of ability to score it"

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate constantly explains to the fans in front of the TV as a viewer.

After he introduced David Silva, the referee on the field also signaled that he could take a free throw, David Silva took two steps back, trotted forward under everyone's attention, and pumped the ball with one kick.

The soccer ball soars into the sky, arcing through the wall and rushing towards the far corner of the goal!

For David Silva, Chelsea's stars are actually a little disdainful, in their opinion, David Silva is just a Premier League rookie, even if the technical strength is good, but it can only belong to the 'future star', just like Cesc Fabregas two years ago, I must admit that it was a genius, but for them there is not much of a threat.

So when they saw David Silva take the penalty, they were a little bit unconcerned, and it was captain John Terry who reminded them to take it seriously, so they put out a four-man wall and seriously defended the other Manchester City players, because they thought that David Silva would probably choose to hoist the ball in front of goal, which would be a lot more threatening.

After all, there weren't many people who thought David Silva would shoot straight at goal, they thought it would be a tactical set-piece.

It's just a pity that they guessed wrong.

If it were a tactical set-piece, it wouldn't have been David Silva, so David Silva would almost certainly have opted for a direct shot, and he shot it beautifully, with the ball in the air going straight around the wall and sliding like a meteor into the far corner of the goal.

Petr Cech was right in front of goal.

He had been paying close attention to David Silva just now, but he thought the same as other teammates, and also thought that David Silva would choose to hang in front of the goal, so he also distracted other Manchester City players who might compete for the top, the only thing he didn't expect was that David Silva's shot was so sharp, directly around the wall and fell to the far corner, and when he reacted a little slowly, he hurriedly jumped up and threw himself towards the far corner, but with experience he knew that he couldn't save the ball at all.

At that moment, Cech was anxious and a little desperate. The other Chelsea players who turned their heads and watched the ball fly towards the goal were also a little desperate.

If you go in, the score will be 2:0!

So how many chances do they have?

The next moment, with a "bang", the football smashed on the post and bounced out, and all the Chelsea players, including the fans, breathed a sigh of relief.

The ball just now was so dangerous that the football almost struggled to hit the goal, but now it's okay, the crisis is over, and the ball hits the post.

"It's dangerous, this Spanish kid is really lucky," the commentator said immediately.

But before he finished speaking, the court suddenly became nervous again

City's attack isn't over yet!

The soccer ball hits the post. It bounced to the feet of Musampa on the wing, who passed the ball to Joey Barton and the pair made two passes.

At this moment, Wan Sheng hurriedly shouted on the sidelines, "Pay attention to control the ball and pass it back!" ”

It's safe to pass back, and it's safest to keep the ball at your feet.

Soon the ball was in midfield and Morris dropped back to get the ball and Chelsea were a little more open. They knew they were going to face City's possession again, but it was much safer than it had just been, and it was a normal defence at best.

So Chelsea's defence was a bit careless.

William Gallas slid out of the box, ready to put City under a bit of pressure. Essien and Frank Lampard both ran forward to get up front and Del Horno also ran to the wing, which was his defensive area.

But at this moment. Morris suddenly slammed the ball straight down the left.

There's David Silva!

When the football was passed, many people didn't react, but the next moment David Silva was running. He rushed almost immediately, and Paolo Ferreira simply didn't have time to defend.

"David Silva, be careful!" The pro-Chelsea TV commentator exclaimed.

It was David Silva who shook off Paolo Ferreira, also on the left, while Chelsea's defenders in the middle were barely able to react quickly, and some of them were even running forward slowly, not knowing where the ball was.

"Good opportunity! Look at this ball! Belbart was already nervously anticipating.

The change of situation on the field made him feel very nervous.

Just ten seconds ago, he was feeling sorry for not scoring a set-piece, but now Manchester City suddenly launched a wave of fast attacks and hit the Chelsea penalty area, and the transition between them was too fast.

"This is a great opportunity!"

Everyone could see that Chelsea were ready to rush out before, but the next moment the football was back in danger, and they didn't have time to return to defense.

They almost watched as David Silva brushed off Ferreira and then played the ball down the left side of the box.

'I guess their strikers can't react,' thought one Chelsea player.

It's a pity that this can only be self-comforting.

Following the direction of the football, they saw a figure in the middle, with a muscular body and a dark face, telling them that this was the most dangerous man for Manchester City to pay attention to - Nicola Anelka!

Anelka's face was relaxed and freehand, as if he were on a tour rather than in a fierce game.

In fact, Anelka's lackluster performance in the previous games is directly related to Chelsea's tight defence, Manchester City's eleven players, he is the No.1 target of the defense, whenever he comes forward, there are always two defenders around him.

This kind of direct targeting made it difficult for Anelka to get the ball, but now it's different, he's running up and running, the Chelsea players don't have time to pay attention, and no one can stop him from getting the ball.

He shoots straight at the ball!

Petr Cech thought Anelka would stop the ball and adjust his position before choosing to shoot, but he didn't expect Anelka to shoot directly.

This difference in rhythm made Cech very uncomfortable, and it was a little too late for him to react.

He can only make a symbolic save.

As he had just felt, Cech knew he couldn't save the ball, but would his luck be just as good as he had just been?

The next moment, the excitement that erupted at the Manchester stadium told him the answer

"The ball is in—!!"

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooall！！！！！！”

"Nikola Anelka-!!"

The on-site commentator Belbart shouted, his face flashing with surprise and excitement as he watched the football in the Chelsea goal, "Anelka scored the second goal for Manchester City, and now the score is 2-0 and we are two goals ahead!" ”

"Well done, Anelka! Well done! And, of course, David Silva, who was the biggest contributor to Anelka's best chances! ”

'It was Anelka's thirteenth league goal for Manchester City, and the Frenchman has exploded in full form this season and now he is equal for Thierry Henry's goal and the pair are joint top scorers. This goal is also very important for Manchester City, and with the second goal, Manchester City will play much better in the next game! ”

Manchester Stadium was already filled with cheers and every Manchester City fan was giving their way to celebrating.

Amid the cheers, Anelka threw up his arms and ran wildly along the sideline.

Listening to the cheers in his ears, Anelka felt satisfied, because he knew that these cheers were for himself, and suddenly he felt that everything he had done was worth it!

After arguing with Wansheng before, Anelka still had a pimple in his heart after he went to apologize.

He wasn't the one to admit his mistakes, but he did it anyway, but now he thinks he didn't do anything wrong, and if he had gone to another club, or had been in the reserves, the fans would have forgotten about him, right? He can only enjoy that cheer if he returns to the Premier League, and he did it the right way.

At the same time, he was relieved.

Recently, Anelka has also had some pressure, one is the competition with Henry on the scorer list, and the other is that he has not scored in three rounds, he has been overtaken by Henry to second place, sometimes he suspects that he has entered a goal drought, after all, he has not scored in three rounds, and with this goal, he can rest assured.

He believes his goals will continue!

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, looking at Anelka, who was running wildly, and was also very excited.

He took the initiative to hug Diamares, and then hugged Pierce, "The second ball is here!" We were 2:0 ahead! ”

"They've done a beautiful job!"

He said happily.

With the second crucial goal, the game was basically won! (To be continued......)
