Chapter 339 Redeem the third attribute, Lin Quan’s revenge!
The referee showed no mercy and showed yellow cards to Ramirez for fouling, David Silva and Yaya Toure for pushing.
Before the first half was over, both sides had already received 6 yellow cards.
Of these six yellow cards, four were carried by Manchester City players.
This made Pellegrini worried on the sidelines. Both of his midfielders received yellow cards. This is not good news!
It seems that substitutions must be made early in the second half, otherwise, the team's midfield defense will have big problems.
Thinking of this, he looked at the team's bench.
There are three midfielders sitting on the bench, Kroos, Fernando and Lampard.
Yes, the Blues' talisman is now playing for Manchester City.
This summer, after Lampard's contract with Chelsea expired and the two parties did not renew it, Lampard left the Major League to seek gold.
The New York City team chose to loan him back to the Premier League. Manchester City happened to be short of people, so at the last moment of the transfer window, the two parties signed a loan contract.
According to the contract, Lampard will play for Manchester City until January next year.
At that time, based on his performance on the court, it will be determined whether to continue to renew the contract or let him return to New York City.
Kroos's defensive ability is not strong, but his offensive ability is outstanding. If he plays, he can effectively improve Manchester City's offensive ability.
Lampard and Fernando are stronger defensively. If Manchester City takes the lead, they can be sent to stabilize the situation.
Thinking of this, Pellegrini had some thoughts in his mind.
He plans to decide who to play based on the game situation in the second half, but before that, the team can no longer take cards.
If we take more cards, we will probably lose our staff!
Inside the Etihad Stadium, we watched the fiery scene on the court, as well as the constant occurrence of fouls and yellow cards.
The attention of the fans at the scene gradually shifted from the game to attacking the opponent's players and fans.
The atmosphere of this game was very strange. Players from both sides were playing with obvious emotions.
This situation is tailor-made for Chelsea forward Diego Costa.
Diego Costa's hands and feet are not very clean. During physical confrontation, he is very good at using some hidden tricks to trick people.
It was after Zabaleta was tricked by him that he got angry and committed a foul and received a yellow card.
At this time, seeing the opponent's defensive player carrying a yellow card, Diego Costa consciously moved towards the Manchester City player who had the card, actively sought physical confrontation, and continued to use his little moves to provoke his opponent.
Manchester City's defenders were annoyed by his harassment. When Demichelis was defending him, he shoveled in retaliation and received another yellow card.
Manchester City has received 5 yellow cards in this game!
"Boy, this is just a lesson. Next time you let me see those little moves of yours, watch your legs!"
Demichelis didn't care at all about the yellow card he received. After committing the foul, he glared at Diego Costa fiercely and warned him.
Diego Costa fell to the ground and grinned in pain.
The opponent's tackle was really heavy this time!
After realizing that the other party was not joking, he really restrained his little actions.
Although Manchester City's players were angry, they still suppressed Chelsea in the first half.
In this game, Mourinho placed Ramirez in the central midfielder position and moved Fabregas to the defensive midfielder position.
This adjustment made Chelsea's midfielder and frontcourt a little unable to hold the ball. William's problem of being too sticky to the ball was exposed. Once the Chelsea ball was passed to his feet, he liked to carry it. Even if he wanted to pass the ball, he would delay it for a while. pass.
In this case, Manchester City's defense is already in place, and it will be difficult for him to pass the ball to pose a threat.
Not only was Willian's performance poor, but Hazard's performance was also sluggish.
It was difficult for Chelsea to form an effective offense in the first half. Their smooth coordination and super offensive firepower in the previous few games seemed to have failed in front of Manchester City.
On the sidelines, Mourinho also frowned.
Although the psychological tactics worked, the team's offense was unable to pose a threat. This is not good news!
As long as Manchester City's players regain their composure, their offense can pose a threat at any time.
Especially when there is a super giant like Lin Quan in the opponent's lineup!
Therefore, he had to continue to foul Lin Quan and completely anger him.
In the 41st minute, Ivanovic knocked down Lin Quan at the front of the penalty area and received the eighth yellow card of the game.
This is the third time a Chelsea player has seriously fouled Lin Quan in a short period of time!
However, what surprised Mourinho and the Chelsea players was that Lin Quan seemed neither injured nor angered.
After being kicked, he quickly got up from the ground, held the ball and placed it at the foul spot, preparing to take the free kick.
Seeing the position of this free kick, Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.
His instinct told him that this position was very dangerous!
"Damn it, why can't this guy be kicked down?"
Seeing that he stood up so quickly, and his mood seemed to be very stable and not affected too much, Mourinho suddenly began to doubt whether his tactics were correct!
"Do you want me to cover for you?"
De Bruyne stepped forward and asked.
In recent games, he has scored a lot of goals from free kicks and is in good form at this time.
If he and Lin Quan appear behind the ball at the same time, the opponent's goalkeeper will definitely not be able to accurately determine who is taking the penalty.
"No need, I can do it myself!"
Lin Quan glanced at the Chelsea goal, and his eyes met those of goalkeeper Courtois in the air.
Courtois saw the smile on the other side's lips and became more vigilant.
How will the opponent hit the ball?
Is it an elevator kick or an S-shaped free kick?
Courtois can't judge. Lin Quan often uses these two methods, and the success rate is very high.
However, his judgment was wrong.
The moment the referee awarded the free kick, Lin Quan had already thought about how to kick the ball.
When he was retreating, he entered the system mall interface and spent 50 points to purchase Robert Carlos' heavy artillery shooting technology.
After thinking for a while, I spent another 100 points to upgrade the strength attribute to the full level.
Okay, let’s start the show!
After purchasing two talents, Lin Quan exited the system, while his people were still retreating, getting further and further away from football.
When the players on Chelsea's side saw that the opponent's running distance was so far, their expressions began to change.
What does this guy want?
Are you serious about stepping back 20 meters?
With such a long run-up distance, the opponent is going to shoot hard, right?
The Chelsea players in the front row couldn't help but pray in their hearts, praying for Lin Quanneng to play more accurately.
But be sure not to throw the ball at them. Being hit by such a heavy cannon will definitely not make you feel good, and you may even get injured!
Courtois cheered up. He suspected that Lin Quan was playing tricks because he had never seen Lin Quan play heavy artillery before.
But he didn't dare to be careless, because just because he hadn't seen it before, it didn't mean that the other party wouldn't know it.
When the Chelsea team was facing a formidable enemy, Lin Quan took action.
He sprinted at full speed, and every step was like stepping on the hearts of Chelsea players, making them tremble and fear.
With this terrifying run-up speed, he really wants to hit hard!
Courtois's eyes widened, and he relied on his goalkeeping experience to determine the opponent's intentions.
The Chelsea players in the front row were obviously aware of this. When Lin Quan hit the ball, they all covered their key parts and subconsciously dodged the ball.
boom!
A loud bang!
ah!
A scream!
There are still people who haven't escaped!
Chelsea's players breathed a sigh of relief and looked curiously in the direction of the sound.
Their midfielder Matic was seen holding his stomach in pain, his body bent into the shape of a shrimp.
Seeing him sweating in pain and opening his mouth in pain but unable to make a sound, every Chelsea player felt lingering fear.
This is revenge, Hong Guoguo's revenge!
Matic was the first to foul Lin Quan and made rude remarks.
This time Lin Quan's free kick was deliberately deflected. No, based on the opponent's footwork, it was probably to find Matic on purpose!
Thinking of this, the Chelsea generals looked at Lin Quan with a bit of horror and fear.
This kid is so scary!
But the other party used this method to retaliate against them, and they couldn't even fart!
Chelsea's team doctors came on stage one after another and after examining Matic, they determined that he could not continue to play.
Mourinho's face was ashen, and Matic's unexpected injury completely disrupted his plans.
He had to bring on Miguel, replacing Matic.
Matic's injury was a big shock to the Chelsea players. In the remaining time, they did not dare to foul, especially Lin Quan.
This guy is too vengeful, and his method of revenge is too terrible. No one wants to end up like Matic.
Chelsea restrained themselves, but Manchester City had no intention of letting them go.
At the end of the first half, Manchester City formed a siege on Chelsea's goal.
In the 44th minute, Silva made a pass from the left, and Lin Quan grabbed a point in the penalty area and missed the goal slightly.
One minute later, Yaya Toure scored the ball in front of the penalty area, and Kolarov inserted in from behind and sent a cross from the left at high speed.
Jovetic's header in front of the goal hit the post, and the rebounded ball fell to De Bruyne's feet.
He met the ball and shot furiously, but he didn't know whether it was a deliberate pass or the shot missed the right spot. The football did not fly towards the goal, but flew in front of Silva who was following up on the right.
David Silva sent a through ball from between two opposing defenders into the penalty area.
With Lin Quan's strength greatly increased, Lin Quan squeezed away the opponent's defender, entered the penalty area, and sent the ball into Chelsea's goal with a kick.
In the last minute of the first half, Manchester City would break the deadlock and rewrite the score to 1:0.
This goal came too timely. If it were dozens of seconds later, the referee would have blown the whistle to end the first half.
After seeing Lin Quan score, the Manchester City players, who were suffocating, rushed towards him like crazy.
Lin Quan, who had always been calm, became hot-headed this time.
He took off his jersey, revealing his strong muscles, ran to the side of the court, spread his arms, raised his head, and faced the stands with his eyes closed!
Deafening applause and cheers erupted from the Etihad Stadium, and the Blue Moon fans excitedly cheered with all their strength.
This ball is so damn satisfying!
Chelsea's fouls in the first half had long aroused the anger of Manchester City fans.
If it hadn't been for the on-site security personnel to stop them, they would have wanted to rush to the court and teach the Chelsea people a lesson.
Of course, if they really do this, the FA will definitely deal with Manchester City seriously.
At that time, the Etihad Stadium is likely to be fined and no fans will be allowed to attend the game.
On the coaching bench, Pellegrini felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead. He jumped up from his seat excitedly, hugged the assistants around him tightly, and celebrated without emotion!
In the visiting team's coaching bench next door, after seeing Lin Quan's goal, Mourinho became furious, turned around and kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him hard.
Damn it!
This goal was thrown at the wrong time!
His tactics were obviously very successful, but what went wrong and why they completely failed?
Mourinho scratched his head and couldn't figure out why Lin Quan wasn't angered?
Could it be that the foul was not strong enough?
No, Chelsea has already received 3 yellow cards on him, how can he still commit a foul?
If he commits another foul, it will be Chelsea's player's turn to be sent off with a red card!
calm!
I can't mess up the rules myself, my tactics haven't failed yet!
There's still time for the second half!
Hum, Manchester City, let’s see!
Mourinho returned to the locker room without looking back. The overall situation in the first half was decided and there was not much time left. There was no need to waste time.
The top priority now is to seize the 45 minutes in the second half and do more!
During the halftime break, on their way back to the locker room, the players on both sides almost got into a fight in the tunnel because of a few quarrels.
If the courtside staff and several referees had not appeared in time to stop them, the two sides would have fought.
Manchester City and Chelsea had no deep hatred before, but in this game, there was a lot of bad blood between the two sides.
This made the players on both sides very angry, and the gap between the two teams was completely closed.
"You Chelsea losers, wash your asses and wait!"
"You Manchester City bastards, I advise you to poop cleanly, otherwise we will beat the shit out of you later!"
…
Players from the two teams exchanged harsh words outside the locker room, all using excrement-related obscenities.
Lin Quan had no interest in such a bickering and turned back to the locker room.
After entering the locker room, he first saw Lampard sitting calmly in the corner.
In this case, Lampard's identity is embarrassing.
He is now wearing a Manchester City jersey and should be on their side.
But he has played for Chelsea for 14 years and has a deep relationship with the Blues.
So in this situation, it was inappropriate for him to support either side, so he might as well hide in the locker room and not show up.
Lin Quan understood this and had no intention of causing trouble for the other party.
He walked up to Aguero, who was injured and retired, and asked about his injury with concern.
"How about it?"
"Haha, it's not good. The ligament in my left thigh is strained. I need to be sidelined for 6-8 weeks."
Although Aguero was smiling reluctantly, the anguish and frustration in his tone were obvious.
Lin Quan patted his shoulder and comforted:
"Recuperate in peace and adjust well. My brothers are waiting for you to come back!"
