Chapter 119 Stamford Bridge (5)(1/2)
"Ronaldo is on the court."
"This is three months later, Ronaldo is on the court again!"
"Elano was replaced, Ronaldo came on as a substitute, he wore a No. 99 jersey!"
"Before the game, there has been debate about whether Ronaldo is likely to play in this game. The doctors are also saying that Ronaldo's injury cannot be healed and Ronaldo cannot play. However, now, everything has been revealed. At 63 minutes of the game, Elano was replaced, and the 33-year-old Ronaldo came on the court!"
"Although Ronaldo has become obese and is old, at this time, when he wears a Manchester City jersey, it will surely become a great moment worth remembering in the history of the Premier League, and it will also be a memorable moment in the history of Manchester City clubs!" said Leinker, who had a very high evaluation of Ronaldo's appearance.
Ellano and Ronaldo hugged. He walked to the bench.
Ronaldo ran into the stadium, and Zhang Yang also came from the distance. He and Ronaldo were brimming with high fives. Looking at his childhood idol, he could continue playing football with a smile. Thinking of his contributions in it, Zhang Yang was very pleased and happy.
Hiddink frowned on the sidelines. Manchester City sent Ronaldo? This adjustment surprised Hiddink. There were many plans in his mind about this game, but none of them were related to Ronaldo. Hiddink never expected Ronaldo to play. The injury of this Brazilian was no longer a secret, and some people even suspected that Ronaldo might retire. Unexpectedly, Ronaldo actually came on as a substitute. Is there any problem with his injury?!
Hiddink believes that this possibility is not great. In his opinion, what is even more likely is that Manchester City is superstitious about Ronaldo's fame, and at this time, Ronaldo is injured and played...
"Ronaldo? Manchester City sent Ronaldo. Does Manchester City really think this fat guy can score a goal?" Not all commentators said nice things, and some spoke harshly.
However, before he finished speaking, Ronaldo on the field was shocked.
Modric dribbled the ball in the midfield. While he was running, he transferred the football horizontally to Robinho who came back to pick up the ball.
Robinho did not stop the ball because he saw Zhang Yang raising his hand to ask for the ball, so he passed the ball to Zhang Yang. He turned around and ran forward.
Ashley Cole, who was originally planning to come up to defend Robinho for a moment, was stunned for a moment and chose to continue to retreat with Robinho. He was afraid that Zhang Yang would pass the ball directly behind him. In that case, Robinho could almost dribble the ball and penetrate the penalty area.
However, what shocked Ashley Cole and Chelsea goalkeeper Cech was that Zhang Yang had no intention of passing the ball. After receiving the ball, he took the ball without hesitation and shot directly!
"Zhang Yang's long shot-"
Cech made a high-level save this time, and he flew into one hand to block the football!
However, Manchester City's offensive is not over yet.
Ronaldo, who had just played, appeared at the landing point of the football. At this time, Cech fell to the ground and completely lost his center of gravity. At this time, there was already half an empty goal in front of Ronaldo. As long as Ronaldo can play football, he can score!
Manchester City fans in the stands are ready to cheer and score!
"Ronaldo's chance!"
"It's Terry-"
Ronaldo volleyed, but his shot was a bit soft and weak. Terry was a slippery tackle that almost could lead to an own goal, and when the football almost crossed the goal line, he shoveled the football out!
"Ah - it's a pity! Ronaldo's shot did not hit the ball. If his shooting power was greater, Terry would not be able to tackle the football in time... If this ball was entered, Manchester City would overtake the score again. They had the advantage in number. If they took the lead at this time, then Manchester City would most likely win the game!"
Seeing Ronaldo's supplementary shot being blocked by Terry, Manchester City's coaching seat and bench were also sighing.
The commentator who was sarcastic about Ronaldo just now was shocked. If Ronaldo scored a goal at this time, he would have been slapped in the face naked! Fortunately, the goal was not scored!
The commentator wiped the sweat from his forehead and became active immediately. He seemed to have found a reason to mock Ronaldo. "I have to admit that if it were Ronaldo ten years ago, he would never waste such opportunities. Ronaldo was crazy at that time, otherwise he would not be called an alien. However, now, although this is a bit cruel, I still have to say that Ronaldo is old and he can't do it anymore. Maybe he will go to Brazil to retire or enjoy it for a while. Unfortunately, since he chose to come to the Premier League in the world No. 1 Premier League, he has to be prepared to face the cruel results. This is not a good place to retire. Even such a goal-based shot cannot be scored... Does Manchester City expect a bulky fat man to score a goal?"
The commentator should be glad that Ronaldo did not hear what he said, otherwise, Ronaldo would be terrifying.
Of course, some commentators have adopted a more tolerant attitude.
"Ronaldo has just started playing, and has not fully warmed up yet, and has not yet entered the game. It is already very good that he can appear at the landing point of the football and complete the supplementary shot. It can be seen that Ronaldo has a very good feeling for scoring today."
"Ronaldo appeared in the position in time and completed the supplementary shot. Unfortunately, his shooting power was a little smaller. Otherwise, Ronnie would have scored a goal just after he came on the court, which would be a great performance. Unfortunately, the captain of Chelsea said NO to this performance!"
Manchester City just missed an opportunity, and Chelsea's attack on the other side immediately achieved results.
In the 71st minute of the game, Deco passed the ball to the left at the top of the penalty area, and Lampard got the ball to Anelka on the right, who volleyed the ball without defense!
Regarding this shot, Jiwen had a problem with his position and was unable to stop the goal. Moreover, Manchester City made a huge mistake when he was keeping a man in defense. The positions of the two central defenders Dunn and Ennuoha overlapped, and both of them went to guard Drogba, but Anelka missed someone.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAL! Anelka! He scored! His goal helped Chelsea get the score beyond the score!"
"4:3! Anelka helped Chelsea lead Manchester City! This is really a goal battle! Chelsea scored a goal without one person!"
When Anelka and Chelsea players began to celebrate the goals crazily, the reporters in the media table also subconsciously glanced at the scoreboard. Seeing the score of '4:3' displayed on it, they also felt a sigh. What a goal battle!
At the same time, I also feel sorry for Weiwei for Manchester City. With one more player, they may lose to Chelsea three-to-four. Objectively speaking, Manchester City's performance today was quite good. Unfortunately, Chelsea people burst out with amazing fighting spirit at their home court, and the Blues showed people their blood and strength!
Why do the reporters think this way? This is because, at this time, they subconsciously thought that Chelsea would win the game. Although there are still twenty minutes left in the game and even if Manchester City has one more player, it is obvious that many people do not think that Manchester City still has the ability to equalize the score. Hiddink's team has always been stable and will never make mistakes at the last moment of the game, although their number is at a disadvantage.
Sure enough, less than two minutes after Anelka scored the goal, Chelsea made a substitution.
Beletti came on as a substitute and he replaced Deco.
Replaced with an experienced old guard and replaced Deco, who was already a little unable to run, which means strengthening the defense.
Seeing Hiddink's decisive substitution this time, Manchester City head coach Mark Hughes on the sidelines changed his face. Obviously, Chelsea is going to defend the ball and hold the lead of one goal.
Don’t think that Chelsea is not good at defense. In fact, defense is the old profession of this giant team, especially in the tempering of Mourinho’s era. The Blues’ defense line is the strongest among the Premier League giants. The overall defensive system of this team is very good. Although Mourinho left Chelsea, the ‘special one’ still has the impact on this team, or it can be said that Mourinho left the wealth to Chelsea.
In the subsequent games, as many people have guessed, Chelsea began to shrink its lineup, stabilize its defense, and intend to hold the lead of a ball.
Under Zhang Yang's leadership, Manchester City launched a high-profile attack on Chelsea's defense. However, facing the Blue Moon's goal of defending, there are not many ways to deal with the Blue Moon.
Modric passed the football to Wright Phillips, who took two steps. He found that Chelsea's defense was not so easy to break through, so he distributed the ball to Zhang Yang!
Whenever the Chinese shooter receives the ball, Stanford will think of deafening booing. Chelsea fans are trying to use this method to interfere with the publicity and influence his performance.
But Zhang Yang was not affected at all because he was not afraid of it. On the contrary, he used the boo as his motivation. The more powerful the opponent fans booed, the more enthusiastic he became!
Zhang Yang's attitude is, on the one hand, because of his personality. The bigger the scene, the more difficult the situation, the more excited he faces, and is trying every means to overcome difficulties; on the other hand, Zhang Yang is an extremely serious person. When the game is played, all he thinks about is goals. It is really difficult for fans to interfere with this situation.
Zhang Yang continued to dribble the ball, and this time he came to defend his local man, and he was a new opponent. He came on the bench to enhance Chelsea's defense, Beletti!
Facing this 33-year-old Brazilian veteran, Zhang Yang swayed over very skillfully. Beletti, who had been slow to react half a beat, saw that the situation was not good, and had to reach out and pull Zhang Yang down!
"Zhang Yang was knocked down by Beletti. This is Manchester City's frontcourt free kick!"
Modric, who took the free kick, did not directly attack the goal, but passed it to Wright Phillips on the wing.
Wright Phillips did not stop the ball, but pushed the football forward, and then people saw a red figure passing by!
It's Ronaldo!
He flew past Carvalho and caught up with football!
Carvalho was also stunned. He thought he had seen Ronaldo to death, but he didn't expect that the explosive power of this Brazilian veteran was so amazing! This even surprised Carvalho. How could Ronaldo still burst out with such explosive power now?!
Ronaldo received the ball before the football went out of the baseline, and then he chose to cut in. Facing Bosingva, Ronaldo forced his foot to shoot, Bosingva stretched out his leg and the football went out of the baseline.
Manchester City got a corner kick opportunity!
“WWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO—Ronaldo is starting to get active!”
"Although the ball was not scored, we have to praise Ronaldo, who was playing football as if he was five years younger." The commentator said with emotion.
Only the commentator who has been sarcastic about Ronaldo's "old but not useful" is still chattering, "Ronaldo can choose to pass the ball just now. He is old and can't surpass others, and his vision is not wide enough?"
Robinho took the corner kick and Zhang Yang hit the ball in the crowd, but his attack was a bit too straight and the football was obtained by Cech.
Manchester City gradually took over the game.
After Ronaldo's shot was saved by Cech, Zhang Yang skillfully shot with his heel with his back to the goal, but was blocked by Carvalho and blocked the ball from the bottom line.
Corner kick!
Robinho took the corner kick, Modric headed the ball, Zhang Yang volleyed and slightly missed. The cold sweat of Chelsea fans was shocked.
Watching his team beating by the "nova" Manchester City, booing in the stands of Stamford Bridge resounded throughout the night sky.
After completing this shot, Zhang Yang looked up at the people in the stands. He enjoyed this feeling very much. It was great! Of course, now that Manchester City is behind in the score, he must score another goal, at least equalize the score, which can make him feel a little bit satisfied!
The game time has slowly passed, and the game has reached 89 minutes. The score on the field is still four to three. The home team Chelsea leads, and the away team Manchester City is the chaser.
Chelsea withstood the bombardment of Manchester City!
Hiddink's face was very calm. For him, what was important was that Chelsea could win this game. As for whether the final scene looked good, it didn't matter!
It is still an offensive opportunity for Manchester City.
Zhang Yang was in control of the ball, and he found himself in a siege.
He played for 90 minutes of the game. Although Zhang Yang was physically very good, in today's game, in order to get an offensive opportunity, his running distance was quite large. Zhang Yang was already very tired at this moment!
However, he knew that the team was still one goal behind and he had to continue fighting!
At this time, there were only opponent's defensive players in his heart and eyes.
At this time, what Zhang Yang was most upset was that when he was receiving the ball, because Ashley Cole's quick snatch, he failed to pull up and turn in time, which made Zhang Yang turn his back to the goal! This is the situation he disliked to face the most, because they need to consider how to successfully turn around and face the goal before completing the shot!
Zhang Yang groaned, and he felt the pressure coming from behind. It was Ashley Cole trying to intercept the ball from the side. Zhang Yang immediately moved his footsteps to protect the ball.
Because he was in the penalty area, Ashley Cole didn't dare to make any big moves, and he was afraid that Zhang Yang would cheat the penalty kick.
However, Ashley Cole didn't know that Zhang Yang wouldn't cheat on the penalty kick!
Of course, Zhang Yang would not have thought about the idea of fake falls in the penalty area. Some forwards would choose to do this when the situation was critical, hoping that the referee would give him a penalty kick. However, Zhang Yang had never done this behavior, even if such stupid thoughts flashed through his mind occasionally, they were immediately extinguished. Zhang Yang is not that kind of person, let alone whether cheating penalty kicks is moral. Zhang Yang was considering that if he cheated the penalty kick, the result was that either the referee would award a penalty kick or the fake fall, which was equivalent to handing over his fate to the referee! Zhang Yang would never do that. He hoped to take his destiny into his own hands and under his feet!
Putting the football under your feet, Zhang Yang felt the pressure from behind, judged the distance between the other party and himself, and was observing Carvalho's footwork on the other side to fill in the position.
At this moment, when Zhang Yang was still thinking about how to turn around, he saw a figure!
The figure is on the other side of the penalty area!
Opportunities are fleeting!
Zhang Yang did not hesitate at all, and he swung his calf violently.
To be continued...
