Chapter 815

It was cloudy in the afternoon on May 15, 2010.

Since yesterday, the whole of London has been immersed in the enthusiasm for England's last peak match of the season.

From the streets to the bus and subway, there is a strong atmosphere of the final.

Subway, bus, tram... Cars of fans were sent to Wembley Stadium outside London.

In order to prevent football hooligans from making trouble, the United Kingdom began to announce the implementation of prohibition of drinking in public transport in 2008. Especially before such a major event, the security was upgraded in an all-round way. The police can be seen in every bus station and subway station.

Especially in Wembley Stadium, the security is almost harsh. All the fans who enter Wembley Stadium have to pass the most comprehensive inspection to enter the stadium.

But even without the help of alcohol, England fans are still driving Wembley crazy.

The nickname of Chelsea is blue, and the Jersey is famous for blue. The nickname of Manchester City is blue moon. The Jersey is also blue, but there are some differences in depth. But in the stands of Wembley Stadium, you can see a piece of blue, just like the blue sky rarely seen in England.

From the end of the last round of the Premier League, the whole British team has been looking forward to this crucial match.

After several days of brewing, the atmosphere reached its climax on the day of the final.

Against the two teams are the season's Premier League champion and runner up, Manchester City and Chelsea, the strength of the Premier League are ranked first and second, can be called the Premier League's two strongest teams between the decisive battle.

Although before the game, in addition to the Chelsea fans, most people think that Manchester City will win in the end, but the blues may not have failed to burst the hope, Scolari repeatedly stressed in the pre match press conference that the Blues will never be put to death.

In this game, Scolari, contrary to his previous conservatism, insisted on playing in a four three formation.

Hilario is the goalkeeper and Ashley Cole, Terry, Alex and Ivanovic are the defenders from left to right.

This is the strongest defensive force that Chelsea have been able to line up this season. The team is also very neat. The league has just ended and the game is generally in good condition.

The three midfielders are still behind Essien, with Lampard and Ramirez in front. Among them, Essien of Ghana Buffalo has made great progress after he was moved to the back midfield position in the second half of the season, and has gradually become one of the main players in this position.

Especially in this kind of key finals, Mikel is inexperienced, Ballack is old, so Essien plays the starting role.

Front Trident is to make adjustments, Drogba and Falcao start together, the two constitute a double forward, Robinho is ambush behind the two, acting as a shadow front, connecting midfield and attack.

In the last few rounds of the league, Scolari has been repeatedly running in this set of Trident combination, the performance is also commendable, it can be said that this game is the key to the cold attack of Chelsea.

Relatively speaking, Manchester City's starting line-up is not surprising.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the back three defenders are kompani, Harvey Martinez and Mascherano, the backer is Xabi Alonso, David Silva and Modric are in the middle, Kaka is in the middle, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Sanchez form the Trident.

This season Manchester City injury has little effect, the lineup is neat, after playing the League final round, the team has obtained the abundant rest time, lets Alpine be able to dispatch the main force to play in this competition.

That's why everyone is optimistic about Manchester City, especially the attack.

You know, Manchester City is sitting on a single season can score 100 goals offensive lineup.

…………

…………

It is well known that Wembley is a bad stadium, which is not friendly to a team like Manchester City, but is good for this way of playing.

This has also become one of the reasons why many people beat up the cold and Manchester City before the game.

Another reason is the referee.

The referee of this match is Chris foy, who is nearly half a century old and has ten years of experience in law enforcement in the Premier League. He has been in charge of the League Cup final last season and the community shield cup at the beginning of the season.

But there is a place that is often criticized, that is, the law enforcement is too soft.

Before the match, many media, including the guardian, the times and so on, believed that the FA's appointment of Chris foy to the FA Cup final was more or less a consideration of balancing the strength gap between the two teams. At the same time, it also implied that Chelsea could adopt a more aggressive approach.

But when it came to the game, everyone was surprised to find that no matter the first reason or the second reason, they didn't play a role in the game, because Manchester City firmly controlled the ball from the beginning.

Chelsea tried every means to block the ball, but they failed to break Manchester City's control of the ball right and rhythm.

After only two minutes of the game, Manchester City entered the penalty area of Chelsea.

Kaka passed the ball, Benzema broke into the penalty area and started to hit the goal. After the ball was blocked by Terry, Kaka's push was too angle oriented and slightly deviated from the column, which was the goal of Chelsea.

But only two minutes later, Benzema received a pass from Xabi Alonso, headed the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo started to shoot from the left side of the penalty area and missed the near corner again.

Two goals in a row give Manchester City's offensive advantage, especially the ball control from the middle and back court. It also plans a continuous offensive for the front court organization, so that Manchester City's front court stars can focus on looking for opportunities.

And Manchester City again and again into the penalty area, so that Chelsea had to shrink defense, stuck in the penalty area.

But even so, city quickly seized an opportunity.

In the 11th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo challenged Ivanovic one-on-one from the left. After passing the ball into the penalty area, Benzema blocked the defender with his body and knocked the ball back to the front of the penalty area. Kaka kept up. Without thinking, it was a long-range shot.

The quality of the kick was so high that goalkeeper Hilary Ogan couldn't react, but the ball hit the right column and flew out of the court.

Kaka, who thought the goal potential was inevitable, was completely confused. When he started, he felt very good.

Not only him, but all the people in Manchester City were a little depressed. Unexpectedly, it was the pillar who saved Chelsea at the critical moment.

But soon, city were planning an attack again.

David Silva passed the ball, Benzema took the ball to the left side of the penalty area to catch it, then swung past Ivanovic and hit the goal directly, but was saved by goalkeeper Hilario.

Two minutes later, kompani's header was blocked by Terry again.

Immediately after that, Cristiano Ronaldo started to shoot from the left side twice, both of which were saved by goalkeeper Hilario.

Everyone at the scene also realized that Manchester City's foot seemed to be a bit rough in this game.

Chelsea's first attack took place in the 22nd minute of the first half. It was the first time for the blues to enter the 30 meter area of Manchester City since the beginning of the game. Robinho used a counterattack to plan an attack from the right side. Drogba made a comeback and started to shoot at the front of Falcao's penalty area, but he was saved by Cech, who was expected to be in place.

But just a few minutes later, city made a very threatening attack again.

Ivanovic fouled when defending Cristiano Ronaldo one-on-one. City got an indirect free kick in front of the baseline. David Silva took the penalty with his left foot, followed by kompani in the penalty area and headed from close range.

But as a result, this potential in the goal, even hit the beam, once again pop up the bottom line.

What's more, three minutes later, Manchester City got a good chance of a direct free kick. Cristiano Ronaldo gave a very high-quality defoliation. Goalkeeper Hilario had completely disarmed, but the ball hit the crossbar and bounced back to the penalty area again, which was saved by the goalkeeper.

If it's just like this, it's nothing. But in the 32nd minute, Sanchez, who was closely watched, finally broke through Ashley Cole one-on-one and hit the right side of the penalty area. Hilario failed to intercept, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in the back spot, volleyed in the air without defense.

As a result, the shot hit the crossbar again.

Manchester City hit the crossbar with three shots in a row.

One column, three beams, the whole first half Manchester City seemed to stand in the opposite of luck.

But blue moon is still firmly in control of the situation on the field, the goal of Chelsea attack.

In the 41st minute of the first half, there was a cross from Sanchez on the right. Cristiano Ronaldo caught the chance to hit the goal in the middle and hit the left post again, and the bottom line was thrown out.

A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball from the left, Benzema's shot from the front of the penalty area was saved by Hilario, followed by Harvey Martinez's header in the corner.

In the 44th minute, when the first half was almost over, Modric himself led the ball from the right into the penalty area. The pass was interfered by goalkeeper Hilario and fell into the middle. Kaka kept up with the shot and was saved by Terry at the critical moment.

City protested that Kaka's shot had crossed the goal line, but referee Chris foy made it clear that the goal was invalid and warned City players who were under pressure.

According to the slow motion playback on the big screen, the ball really crossed the goal line.

Two columns, three beams, one misjudgment.

In the first half, Manchester City took the lead, even allowing Chelsea to enter the 30 meter area of Manchester City only three times in 45 minutes and shoot twice. This report card is not excellent.

As for the threat to the goal of Chelsea is countless.

However, God doesn't seem to be on the side of Manchester City today. The continuous columns and beams make Manchester City feel distressed, and the misjudgment of the referee at the last moment makes people angry.

Needless to say, these are all the chances that must be scored on weekdays. We only need to seize half of them. Manchester City are now leading by three goals, and they have directly declared the ownership of the championship trophy.

Ironically, God seems to be on the side of Chelsea, refusing the ball to the goal of the blues again and again, and the continuous bad luck makes the Manchester City players feel extremely depressed.

Especially in the last attack in the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo was called offside as soon as he started, but the Portuguese was furious when the referee had already whistled. Facing the ball, he was a volley and directly pumped the ball into cersi's goal.

He seems to be using this move to vent his depression, but it also brings him an unnecessary yellow card.

Cristiano Ronaldo's irritability also made it clear to everyone that the mood of Manchester City players was out of control. Although the situation in the first half was a bit like being teased by God, once the mood was out of control, it is likely that in the second half
