Chapter 738 Mourinho's Plan
Chapter 738 Mourinho's calculations
The second half started with a yellow card!
Oliver shows a yellow card to Ramirez who just fouled Casemiro!
Boos and cheers erupted from the stands.
Yes, Oliver finally got his cards!
In fact, the actions of both sides in the first half started to get bigger. If the scale of the first half continues in the second half, the game will get out of control sooner or later.
The coaching staff discussed about halftime and decided to control the scene of the game.
And it turns out that Oliver thinks about control now, it's actually a bit late!
The players are used to the rhythm of the first half, and getting them back is even harder than pulling back the Nine Bulls!
In the fifty-sixth minute of the game, the second yellow card appeared soon! Trippier shovels Oscar in defense!
Although Trippier held the ball to signal that he had tackled the ball, the referee Oliver still showed a yellow card and gave Chelsea a free kick to the left of the penalty area.
Mata takes the free kick!
He left the ball into the box with his left foot!
Gary Cahill at the front jumped high, but it was just a pretense!
In the middle, Drogba has already rushed up, and Maguire, who has always been close to Drogba, gritted his teeth and jumped with Drogba!
With a bang, the sound of the two colliding in the air can even be heard by the fans in the stands!
In this case, Drogba still completed the header, but of course the ball could not be well controlled. The football was out of line and went out of the bottom line.
Maguire fell to the ground.
Kompany pulled the little brother up.
"Are you all right, Harry?"
Kompany asked with some concern. Indeed, with a striker like Drogba on the table, the pressure on the defender will always be great.
Maguire rubbed his chest,
He was a little bit distracted by the bump, and he couldn't speak for a while, so he nodded, then took Kompany's hand and stood up.
This scene was watched by Gao Bo.
He looked at Drogba, who was running back like nothing.
Even Maguire's physique and Drogba are at a disadvantage. Gao Bo can be regarded as having a concept of "Warcraft".
"I can't play like this anymore, Chelsea's confidence is up!"
Gao Bo has already smelled the signs of danger, he said to Moya.
"We need to attack now! Defense is too dangerous!"
Gao Bo didn't mean to ask Moya's opinion, but it seemed like he was talking to himself.
For Manchester City's long backcourt pass, Chelsea is now obviously vigilant, and it is impossible to directly penetrate Chelsea's defense through a long pass.
As soon as the pressure on Chelsea's defence eased, they became active on the offensive end.
This is inevitable. On the court, offense and defense are always integrated, and it is difficult to directly separate offense and defense.
Taking advantage of a dead ball, he called Griezmann over.
"Tell the players to increase the tempo and increase the speed of the passing!! Let's play more Chelsea's right side!"
Gao Bo spoke quickly in Griezmann's ear.
Chelsea's right is where Mata is.
The reason why Mourinho doesn't like Mata's type of player is that Mata's contribution on the defensive end is really not high, and Mourinho's tactics are obviously based on solid defense. .
The type of player Mata is naturally not much reused by Mourinho.
However, in this game, Mata's performance was very good. Under his leadership, Chelsea's offense also played very well.
Now Gao Bo decided to make a fuss on Mata's side and suppress Mata's play on the offensive end!
........
Chelsea, who have been attacking very smoothly, continue to try to put pressure on Manchester City's goal! !
Oscar tried to break through on the left flank. After being blocked, the Brazilian regained control of the ball and then made a long diagonal pass to Mata!
But midway through, Fernandinho jumped high and headed the ball forward!
Kaka stopped the ball in the chest to face Ramirez's tough pressing, he pulled the ball and turned around, then faced Ramirez with the front, and divided the ball to the left! !
After David Silva got the ball, he easily passed Mata who was ready to defend!
Then he dribbled the ball all the way to the middle!
Ivanovic had to make up for it, and at this time Kolarov also took the opportunity to rush up.
David Silva passes the ball to the wing!
Kolarov dribbled the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area after taking the ball from the wing!
Ivanovic had to give up the middle and rushed towards Kolarov who was inserting into the penalty area!
However, Kolarov was waiting for this moment. He was passing the ball back. David Silva took the ball on the right side of the penalty area. He led the ball directly and then shot each other with his right foot!
The football draws an arc and flies to Chelsea's goal!
Cech responded in a timely manner. He flew to the rescue and blocked the ball with his hand. Then David Luiz, who was still in shock, made a hasty clearance and kicked the ball out of the sideline!
"Cech saved Chelsea again!!"
In the following period of time, this sentence kept appearing in the mouths of the commentators.
Manchester City's attack is getting more and more fierce!
Cech has become the busiest Chelsea player of all time.
In the 59th minute of the game, when Hazard's shot from inside the penalty area hit the post and bounced off the baseline, Mourinho couldn't take it any longer.
He frowned at the now increasingly passive situation.
Chelsea's attack at the beginning of the second half has now completely disappeared. Instead, it is Manchester City's attacking pressure that makes Chelsea's side in trouble.
If it weren't for Cech, Chelsea would have conceded the ball long ago!
Mourinho looked at Mata, mainly because of the defensive problems there!
If it is another coach, maybe Ramirez or another player will be arranged to fill Mata's position.
But this is not Mourinho's style. What the Portuguese think about is how to strengthen the defense on the wing!
Mourinho looked at Gao Bo.
To be honest, losing to Gao Bo has become a shadow in Mourinho's heart.
Even if he is as arrogant as Mourinho, he actually does not have much confidence in defeating Gao Bo.
If you can't win... Mourinho looks back on the field.
Then you can't lose! !
Don't lose...and have a chance to make it to the finals.
The current score is 1-1. There is no so-called replay in the FA Cup semi-finals. After 90 minutes of tie, it will go to extra time. If the extra time is tied again, it will be a penalty shootout!
Mourinho turned around and let Mikel go to warm up!
The Portuguese almost gritted their teeth to make this decision...
In the final stage, Mourinho trusted his bus the most.
He decided to let the team start defending in the second half...even if it was a penalty shootout! !
The only person who can make Mourinho make such an extreme decision is Gao Bo.
