Chapter 714: Celebrating Victory in the Stands
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!Drogba!!!!!!!!!”
"Beautiful header!!! Didier Drogba equalised Chelsea!!!!"
"Chelsea have saved their season again!!!! If the game is tied, of course they still have a chance!!! They still have a chance to win!!!!"
"Mourinho's team was very tenacious and after almost 70 minutes Chelsea equalised!! Now it's 1-1 on the pitch!!!"
On the commentary table, the commentators stood up one after another! !
The first half of the game was lackluster, but in the second half it became exciting!
More than 20 minutes into the second half, there were already two goals! !
Everyone has a hunch that the goal of this game is not just that! ! !
At this time, the camera lens locked on Mourinho! !
I saw him rushing to the sidelines, and then also rushing towards Drogba on the rails!
The master and apprentice hugged together, and the other Chelsea players rushed up and hugged!
"Haha!! Mourinho is as excited as winning the Champions League!!!"
"The significance of this goal cannot be overemphasized, just look at Mourinho's performance! You will know how much pressure is on Chelsea in this game!!"
........
In the stands, the sharp boos continued!
And Gao Bo, who was on the sidelines, also shook his head.
For such a goal, you are very difficult to guard against.
Corner kicks are an offensive method. Once the opponent is organized, even a low-level league team can push the ball into the penalty area for you!
What's more, Chelsea, which has a battering hammer like Drogba.
The score was equalized, and Gao Bo was not too anxious.
There is still time for Manchester City, and the situation of the game is on Manchester City's side.
But when he saw Mourinho go back to the dugout and call Gary Cahill around to say something, he knew it might not be that simple.
Mourinho has begun to seek stability! !
His adventure was successful, and the Portuguese made a quick decision to prepare for a substitution!
Gary Cahill?
Gao Bo frowned.
This is a central defender, he is tall and strong, especially the header is very good, and the defensive ability is very good one-on-one.
Replacing him, Mourinho replaces Dengbaba nine times out of ten.
In this way, Chelsea's formation can be adjusted to 442, with Oscar and Lampard separated left and right as midfielders on the left and right.
In the face of a complete eight-man defensive system, Chelsea's morale was high just after scoring a goal, while Manchester City's morale dropped a little after conceding the goal.
One and the other.
Maybe it really made Mourinho retreat from the away game.
......
Sure enough, Mourinho's substitution was as expected by Gao Bo.
Gary Cahill came on and replaced Demba Ba!
Now Chelsea's back line, Ivanovic, John - Terry, David - Luiz, Gary - Cahill!
All four players were born as central defenders!
With the two full-backs on the left and right, Ivanovic can help the offensive end, while Gary Cahill is a pure defensive player.
Except for a header from a corner kick from a set-piece, Gary Cahill probably won't overtake the half-court!
Mourinho is defending!
Mourinho breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bench.
Now Mourinho is trying to figure it out. He wanted to understand it from Drogba's goal.
And Manchester City are both offensive and defensive, this is not Chelsea's advantage! Because Mourinho and Gao Bo have been fighting for so long, he has never taken advantage of it once!
And what is Chelsea's advantage?
Heading the ball! !
Let's not talk about Drogba and Torres, let's talk about the four defenders in the back, who is not one hundred and ninety centimeters up?
That being the case, what Chelsea has to do next is simple.
Defense!
And stick to it!
Then wait for the opportunity to counterattack, if the counterattack fails, then create a set ball! !
Make the most of Chelsea's header advantage!
Mourinho still doesn't believe it, will he really never win?
......
The retracted Chelsea has indeed caused a lot of trouble for Manchester City!
Faced with such a tortoise shell, it was really difficult for Manchester City to knock it open for a while.
After all, Chelsea are not just any other team.
They are inherently good at defense.
Why don't you call it the Jagged Blue Army?
But now, after being equalized by Manchester City, the players seemed a little anxious.
Gao Bo was keenly aware of the emotional changes of the players.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, he called the captain Kompany over.
"Tell the players, don't worry!! We still have plenty of time!! Control the backcourt for a while and lure them out!!! Don't go head-to-head with their iron barrels!!"
Kompany nodded hastily.
He turned back and passed the coach's instructions to the players.
And Gao Bo said so, but in fact his true thoughts are.
What if it gives you a draw?
He doesn't believe Mourinho will be content with a draw.
Even if he is satisfied, Chelsea's players are not necessarily satisfied.
They must be hoping to win and then close to Manchester City in the points, otherwise, Chelsea, who are four points behind, want to catch up with Manchester City, it is actually quite difficult.
Soon, Chelsea discovered the changes in Manchester City!
City were no longer in a rush to attack, they slowly took possession of the ball and went back and forth in the middle and back.
At first, Chelsea's players thought that the opponent was just enticing themselves to go up to press, and then Manchester City took the opportunity to attack, so they were determined not to be fooled.
But as time went on, Chelsea's players became a little anxious.
Gao Bo thinks well.
A draw for Manchester City is acceptable, but Chelsea does not quench their thirst.
What they want is a victory, a win! !
"The game is approaching 80 minutes. Manchester City seems to have no intention of attacking in these 10 minutes, and Chelsea, who had a bus line, also shrank in the backcourt and did not press out. The pace of the game became very slow. Don't dare to press down easily!!"
"This is also normal. After all, this is a focused battle related to the league championship, and both sides may not be able to afford to lose!"
"In fact, even if it is a draw, it should be difficult for Chelsea to accept it. If they don't win, the difference with Manchester City will still be four points. The difference of four points may not be very easy to catch up."
"But if it's a draw, Manchester United will benefit, and they will take the opportunity to narrow the gap with Manchester City. Therefore, in fact, for Manchester City, an average is also not good for them!!"
The narrators were talking.
At the same time, Chelsea's players were just around the corner, and they couldn't help it.
The first to rush up are two Chelsea strikers.
Drogba and Torres have been quietly pressing on without knowing it, and behind them, Oscar and Lampard seem to be unable to bear it.
When Gao Bo saw this scene, he began to look forward to it.
It's a battle of patience.
In the competition for patience, it depends on who has more confidence.
And the current situation is clear.
For Manchester City, a draw, even if they lose, they are still the top team and the league.
And for Chelsea, I'm afraid that's not the case.
Therefore, Manchester City is far more confident than Chelsea.
This is also the reason why Gao Bo dared to fight against Chelsea.
Mourinho also found signs that the team could not hold back.
He frowned, weighing the pros and cons.
To be honest, when he retracted, Manchester City immediately put on a look of no desire, so that Mourinho's careful arrangements had no effect at all.
And now in front of Mourinho, it is also a multiple-choice question.
Or, continue to shrink in the backcourt and be more patient with Manchester City.
Mourinho thought about it carefully, if he was in Gao Bo's position, I'm afraid he wouldn't take the risk.
Even a draw is not unacceptable for Manchester City.
Therefore, he believes that Gao Bo will allow his team to stick to this stalemate.
If Mourinho accepts, then a draw may be imminent.
In the away draw against Manchester City, if it is the first leg of the league now, Mourinho will probably accept it.
But not now.
After this encounter, Chelsea will never have the opportunity to play against Manchester City in the league again.
In other words, if Chelsea wants to win the league after that, in addition to maintaining a complete victory in the league, Manchester City has to roll over at least twice.
The probability of this is undoubtedly small.
Therefore, now anxious, it should be Chelsea.
Mourinho weighed inwardly, he hesitated.
Gao Bo did not hesitate.
When Chelsea players couldn't help but feel lonely, he stood on the sidelines with his hands in his trouser pockets, and he could ask his team to launch a rapid offensive at any time! !
Drogba and Torres pressed up, and Oscar and Lampard behind him also made a slight premise. In order to maintain the distance between each other, Kante and Mikel could only lean forward a little.
Before you know it, Chelsea's overall formation is not as dense as before, and there are gaps between each front that can be used by Manchester City! !
David Silva has also noticed this.
He looked at the sidelines.
Sure enough, Gao Bo also stood on the sidelines.
David - Silva began to take the initiative to retreat, he received the ball in the backcourt.
This seems to be a signal!
Manchester City players know this.
David Silva drops back to catch the ball, and other players start to open up!
Quietly, those gaps left by Chelsea began to be used by Manchester City! !
Mourinho was still weighing in his heart, but when he saw David Silva pass the ball through the middle circle and pass to Kaka, he immediately realized that it was not good!
The distance between Chelsea's lines is enough for Manchester City to make a fuss! ! !
"Return to defense!!! Hurry back to defense!!!!"
Mourinho stared, anxiously instructing his team to go back to the defense!
And at the same time! !
Gao Bo's eyes also stared at Kaka who was leading the ball and turned around! !
David Silva passed the ball and pushed Manchester City's offensive line directly into Chelsea's backcourt, and Kaka is now facing Chelsea's two midfielders and the four defenders behind them! !
On the surface, Chelsea's defence is undoubtedly intact.
The two midfielders protected the back line, and the four defenders did not leave their positions.
And when David Silva dropped back, Eriksen took his place.
So now Manchester City have four attacking players in the frontcourt!
Chelsea's six defenses and four defenses don't seem to be a disadvantage!
However, Mourinho's anxiety is not without reason.
Manchester City's four attackers are all very flexible and fast, especially there are several players with very good breakthrough ability, and once one of the players completes the breakthrough...
As soon as Mourinho thought about it, he realized that the nightmare had come true! !
Kaka suddenly accelerated and passed Mikel in one step! !
Mikel turned around in a hurry, even at the cost of a yellow card, he would stop Kaka! !
Mikel reached out and grabbed Kaka's jersey, and at the same time, Kaka flicked the instep of his right foot and moved the ball to the side!
Mikel and Kaka both fell to the ground!
But Manchester City's attack continues! ! !
"Kaka passed the ball!!!"
The commentators are not the two coaches on the sidelines, they have only now discovered the dangerous attack of Manchester City! !
Griezmann catches the ball on the flank! !
Hazard rushed to the penalty area, Eriksen approached the middle!
Kaka fell to the ground, and now it is him who is in front of the waist! !
Griezmann stopped the ball, he was facing Gary Cahill!
This is not a good opponent to deal with and Griezmann is not going to waste his time because once he gets caught up in Gary Cahill here, the attack is over - Chelsea's defenders are chasing after him at high speed!
And the next time you want to get the same opportunity can be difficult! !
Griezmann has a very clear mind! !
He saw Eriksen's position and passed the ball! !
While passing the ball, Griezmann also wants to approach the middle! !
He is going to help Eriksen, or he will undoubtedly suffer a great loss if he lets Eriksen face Kante! !
Sure enough, as soon as Eriksen caught the ball, Kante came up! !
However, Eriksen also knew that Kante was powerful, and he immediately put the ball back! !
Griezmann took advantage of the situation and took the ball away! ! !
"Griezmann!!!!!!!"
The narrators exclaimed! !
"Griezmann burst to the front of the penalty area!!!!"
The cooperation of Manchester City completely disrupted Chelsea's defensive system!
Originally, Hazard was marked by Terry and David Luiz together!
But at this time, the two must have one of them to stand up to Griezmann.
They must not let Griezmann shoot from the top of the box with ease! ! !
David Lewis rushed out! !
Griezmann swings his left foot! ! !
"Griezmann......"
The commentators seemed to see Griezmann about to shoot!
The same goes for the fans at the scene, they all stood up, and the scene seemed to be in a precipitation before the arrival of the storm - everyone was looking forward to the moment when Griezmann completed the shot! !
David Luiz rushed up desperately, then slipped the tackle, turned his body across, and blocked Griezmann's shot angle! !
At this moment, David Luiz saw the football flying past him.
This... this is not a shot! ! ! ! !
David Lewis, who has not completely fallen to the ground, turned his head to look!
I only saw the football picked up by Griezmann flew into the penalty area, and after landing, it was pushed out by Hazard, and then drilled in from Terry! !
Single knife! !
Azar single-handedly! ! !
The fans were just about to celebrate, but found Hazard suddenly fell to the ground! ! !
“PENAL Kick!!!!!!!!!!”
Gao Bo on the sidelines immediately raised his hands! ! !
For Manchester City, this is undoubtedly a penalty! !
And Mourinho on the other side is also very excited!
"Flip!!!!!!!!!!"
Mourinho waved his arms.
In the penalty area, Terry raised his hands high with an innocent look on his face.
And David Luiz jumped up from the ground, he rushed to the referee, ready to speak in front of the referee.
All this happened in an instant.
The referee immediately made a judgment, he blew the whistle, and then pointed to the penalty spot!
"pretty!!!"
Gao Bo turned around and celebrated with the members of the coaching bench.
Mourinho was extremely angry.
He rushed to the fourth official and protested loudly against the penalty this time.
And Gao Bo suddenly remembered.
If Terry fouls, that position, that moment!
Then it should be... a red card! !
Gao Bo jumped his feet immediately.
"Red card!!! And red card!!!!!!"
"Flip!! Your man flopped! Damn it!!" Mourinho said, jumping on his feet.
"Did you have your own eyes to see if there was a flop? You're a loser!!"
Gao Bo retorted! ! Gao Bo's words obviously angered Mourinho.
Mourinho is completely blown away this time!
He rushed over directly, intending to push Gao Bo.
And Gao Bo also opened his hand!
The two head coaches clashed directly on the sidelines.
Manchester City's coaching bench and bench rushed out, and many players rushed over on the field.
Everyone doesn't want to see the head coach suffer, although if the two head coaches really work hard, Gao Bo is probably not the one who suffers.
The same goes for Chelsea!
A conflict broke out suddenly on the sidelines, the players from both sides crowded together, and the security personnel, the fourth official and the referee on the scene quickly intervened.
"Mourinho and Gaobo clashed on the sidelines! What did they say between them?"
The live TV footage has not had time to play the replay in the penalty area, and the splendor on the sidelines is also not to be missed.
Under the watchful eyes, Mourinho and Gao Bo even got started! !
The conflict finally subsided.
At this time, the TV replay also played the scene of Terry's foul on Hazard in the penalty area.
Terry has movements on his hands and feet, and although the movements are small, the foul is unmistakable.
The referee first calmed the conflict on the sidelines, he called the two coaches to the sidelines, and then...... no one issued a red card, pointing to the stands.
"Red card? The referee showed both coaches a red card!! This is his attitude towards this conflict!!"
Mourinho was a bachelor, he turned around and left.
But Gao Bo was wronged.
"I am also a red card?! He made the move first!!!!"
No matter what Gao Bo said, the referee will not change the penalty.
Gao Bo waved his hand, then turned and walked towards the stands.
The security guards followed Gao Bo nervously, fearing that he would have some conflict with Mourinho again.
But this time Mourinho and Gao Bo went their separate ways, and the two did not intersect.
While the fans were still shocked by the red cards for both coaches, the referee returned to the field.
Terry thought he escaped, but the referee did not forget him at all.
Red card! !
Terry was shown a red card! !
"Ohhh!!! My God, Terry got a red card too!!"
"His foul on Hazard is indeed enough to get a red card. If he doesn't foul, Hazard will face the goalkeeper directly!"
"Chelsea are in big trouble now, they've played one less player and the manager has been kicked out."
"Of course, Manchester City also lost the command of the manager, but they now have a penalty kick!!!"
The narrators roared.
In the stands, the boos finally turned into cheers.
Gao Bo, who was on the steps of the stand, also high-fived with the fans next to him, then went up to a seat at the top of the stand and sat down.
Terry reluctantly put the captain's armband on Lampard, then walked out of the field and into the player tunnel.
The camera has been following Terry, and with him, it seems that it is also Chelsea's championship dream this season.
Griezmann took the penalty.
He carefully placed the ball, then stood up and stepped back slowly, leaving enough running distance for himself.
Czech goalkeeper Cech stood on the goal line, he was adjusting his breathing.
For goalkeepers, throwing a penalty kick is not an easy task!
Griezmann is running!
Just as he was about to touch the ball, Cech reacted, he jumped to the right!
However, Griezmann suddenly shook his ankle!
Lob shot!
Spoon penalty! ! !
"Beautiful!!! Griezmann made a perfect penalty, he played Cech!!"
"Spoon Kicks!! It takes a really great mentality to get a Spoon Kick in a game like this!!!"
The commentators were applauding Griezmann's penalty handling.
Gao Bo also jumped up in the stands and celebrated the victory with the fans in the stands! !
"Nice job, Anthony!!!"
“GOOOOOOOAL!!!”
"We are sure to win!!!"
The players came up and slapped Griezmann on the back, messing up his hair.
And Chelsea players, at this time, can only helplessly accept this fact!
"In the 84th minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead again!! And what makes it even more difficult for Chelsea is that they have one less player on the field!! It's too bad for them!!"
Commentator Letkinson said.
When the game restarted, Chelsea, who were challenged by ten players, really wanted to press up and try to tie the game.
However, after several counterattacks from Manchester City almost extended the lead again, they did not dare to press recklessly.
Injury time period.
Moya took over command of the game and he knew what the team needed now.
Manchester City's three substitution places are useless, and now is the time to use it!
Vardy replaced Hazard!
Dzeko replaced Kaka!
Then Adam White replaced Griezmann.
Manchester City ran out of three substitution places to delay a lot of time.
When Torres shot a long shot from outside the penalty area over the crossbar, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
The TV broadcast also locked Gao Bo in the stands for the first time. At this time, Gao Bo raised his arms high.
The stands at the Etihad Stadium were filled with fans celebrating victory like him! !
