Ancelotti knew Terry was in a wrong state.

This is definitely not the Chelsea captain he wants. He does not have the momentum of moving forward in the past, nor does he have the courageous decision in the past. The four words "lost" appear on the Chelsea captain, which is unreasonable. However, Ancelotti also knows that this is true.

What is reasonable but unreasonable makes Ancelotti feel so difficult.

If he changes someone, he will never hesitate at this time. Even if it is just the first half, he will replace him. Although it has always been a taboo to passively switch to the central defender in the game. But if it is necessary, he has the right and the qualification. However, this person is Terry, and he is not only the captain, he is also the core of the defense of Chelsea on the court.

Of course, Ancelotti can choose to replace him, but that's tantamount to slapping himself in the face. Terry won't like his decision, and the 40,000 Chelsea fans in the stands will not like it. Therefore, Terry must continue to stay on the court.

During the halftime break, Capello did not stay in the stands, but got up and went to the lounge. Judging from the first half, Bridge's performance was obviously better than Terry, which was not controversial and not surprising. Of course, this does not mean that he regretted his previous decision. Performance is performance, and strength is strength. For England, Terry's role is far greater than Bridge. Even if Ashley Cole is injured, it is also far less difficult to find a replacement for Bridge than to find a replacement for Terry.

This is a fact that a game cannot be changed.

In the second half, the side changes again.

As Linson expected, Ancelotti did not adjust Terry, but replaced Mikel who made a mistake in the first half, replaced Beletti, replaced Joe Kerr, who was mediocre in the first half, and replaced Sturridge.

Both substitutions are not considered counter-substitutions. After the versatile player Beletti came on the court, he directly replaced Maluda's position and moved forward with the French winger. Former Manchester City player Sturric appeared directly on the front line after he came on the court, while Anelka pulled to the sideline. Double forwards, double wingers, plus two midfielders Barack and Lampard who had balanced offense and defense, Ancelotti's intention was already very obvious, that is, attack!

Ancelotti's adjustment came to the forefront.

Just five minutes into the second half, Maluda, who was exhausted by Robben in the first half, received a pass from Barack in the frontcourt, and sent the ball to the front of the penalty area with one pass. Lampard, who was inserted at high speed, took the opportunity to volley. Facing this powerful shot, Ji Wen was powerless, with his vision blocked. One to two. Chelsea, who played at home, scored a goal and also regained the hope of the fans.

On the football field, the gap between one ball and two balls is always a huge difference. This is why one-to-zero is always called a small victory and a narrow victory, while two-to-zero is always called a light draw, and the second goal is always described as a lock-in victory.

Lin Sen also made adjustments, a bold adjustment.

He replaced De Jong with Reus.

At this time, Manchester City's 4231 on the field almost became 4141.

Linson's idea is very simple. Since Ancelotti is focusing heavily on the attack line and intends to use attack instead of defense to make up for Tri's abnormality today, then I will also add some bets on the offense and attack. What's wrong with it? You only have two all-around midfielders, and I will only have one defensive midfielder. You have Drogba, I have Suarez. You have Lampard, I have David Silva, you have Anelka. I have Robben.

Who is afraid of whom?—

Kompany handed the ball to Bridge on the left.

Bridge's feet just touched the ball, and another harsh boo sounded in the stands.

The boo was still very loud, as big as when the game started.

Bridge could not deny that he was a little disappointed because he was once a member of the place. After deciding to shake hands with Terry, he thought that he might encounter boos, but he did not expect that the boos in the stands would be so loud, as if all Chelsea fans were standing opposite him.

The booing accompanied him for most of the game, and Bridge's mood gradually changed from disappointment to anger. But he was not a forward. If he was a forward, he could face the match with the PT. In order to score goals in the PT, he could do anything. But his position was left-back, so this task was destined to be handed over to his teammates.

Seeing Anelka running towards him with malicious intentions, Bridge, who could not see the ball line, passed the ball back to Kompany without hesitation. Bridge knew that there must be countless people in front of the TV that wanted to drive the ball and break through, and then ran all the way to the opponent's half, then passed by and scored... However, although Bridge was angry, he did not lose the wolf.

It is very dangerous for a full-back to play fun in his own defense zone, especially when teammates do not assist in defense, he does not intend to play a duel with Anelka at this time.

In this game, he just needs to do his own.

Before the game, the media made this game a direct showdown between him and Terry, but in fact, the position of the two is destined to be a showdown between the two teammates.

The winner of this match is the winner of this showdown.

Both sides played against each other, and the scene suddenly became better.

"Vidal successfully intercepted the ball. He passed the ball to the left. Reus, who had just arrived in La Liga from Malaga in winter, dribbled the ball and scored the ball. Beautiful! He passed Barack. Now, who else thinks he came to Manchester City only by relying on his relationship with Lin... Reus is preparing to repeat the same trick. Unfortunately, this time, he encountered Ivanovic and the ball was cut off."

"Anelka! He is facing Bridge. The sound in the stands is very loud. It seems that they are not going to forgive Bridge's move before the game. It's past! Arnell passed Bridge... a foul! Bridge pulled Anelka from behind, and there was a booing sound at the scene. The referee came over to show him a yellow card. Now, he has to be careful."

...

A court, front, middle and back three lines, front court decides attack, midfield decides balance, and back defense decides defense.

Manchester City is better in the backcourt than Chelsea, and the seemingly imbalanced midfielder actually maintains this balance. However, the two teams have different staffing configurations for midfield defense. Chelsea has two more all-round players, Barack and Lampard, to fill in the midfield defense. After Linson replaced De Jong, he let Vidal concentrate on sweeping. The double front midfielder Reus and David Silva often retreat to assist in the defense. In the frontcourt, both teams invested heavily.

Three left, center and right, and three lines are equally important. Although Maluda assisted Chelsea's goal in the second half, Manchester City still had the advantage on the wing, Robben and Petrov's wings. One attack and one defense in the first half. After Linson replaced Reus in the second half, Reus, who often moved to the wing, brought changes to the left. Anelka, who retreated from the front, was destined to not give Ivanovic too much help, which means that Ivanovic had to face the impact of two players with completely different characteristics of Reus and Petrov alone.

In the middle, Chelsea took the initiative. Although Barack and Lampard both had to take into account the defense, the two of them combined were still enough to make Manchester City's only midfielder Vidal dare not step over the line.

One comes and one goes, one gain and one lose. The advantages of both sides are not very obvious.

But now it's Manchester City.

At home, Chelsea should have been the advantage of Chelsea, but now the momentum is Manchester City's advantage. The former should have been able to suppress the latter. But when the latter becomes dominant, the former's advantage is gone. What's more important is that Chelsea is now a fatal point that Ancelotti is trying to cover up. Manchester City, not, not only does it. Linson is also magnifying the opponent's fatal point as much as possible.

In the 75th minute, Manchester City expanded the score again.

Lampard failed to score a long shot, Jiwen quickly threw the backcourt ball, Manchester City launched a quick counterattack, Beletti had already blocked Manchester City's attack, but because of his sturdyness, or hesitation, he was intercepted by David Silva in a deadly position - the front of the penalty area. Facing Silva who went to the meeting alone, Beletti chose a worse way of dealing with it. He took the risk and made a pulling move in the penalty area.

David Silva fell to the ground, and the referee was not polite at all, with a penalty kick and a red card.

Terry didn't show up throughout the whole process.

Just as Chelsea players were arguing with the referee, David Silva had already picked up the football and looked at Bridge in the backcourt.

He understood what he meant and wanted Bridge to give this penalty.

This is also a reasonable and unreasonable move, because Bridge has never been a penalty kicker at Manchester City.

Bridge shook his head. He would not punish this penalty. He knew what David Silva meant, and knew that if he went up and took the penalty now, no one in the team would have any objections, but he also knew that the penalty kick. Only by scoring it would make sense. This temptation is great, but not to mention his current mentality, even in normal times, he would not have much confidence.

David Silva didn't force Bridge, and one minute later, the score became three to one.

Manchester City secures the victory!

There are more than ten minutes left in the game, but this time, it really locked in the victory, because now, Chelsea is not only two goals behind, but they are one less person.

Ancelotti was very disappointed, more than when he lost to Linson for the first time. Not only because of this loss, Chelsea lost the best opportunity to completely get rid of Manchester City in the league standings, but also because of the result of this game, it will undoubtedly have an impact on Terry for more than 90 minutes.

The game entered stoppage time, and Lin Sen made the last substitution.

Azpilicueta replaces Bridge.

Bridge was obviously stunned for being replaced at this time. This is not a city court, and here, the final outcome will not be applauded.

However, the thought just flashed.

Accompanied by booing, there was not a big blow, but clear enough applause had already reached Bridge's ears, not entirely from Manchester City fans who came to the away game with the team.

The live footage of the game was pointed at a stand at Chelsea. In the stand, some Chelsea fans stood up and applauded.
