Chapter 789
After the second half of the game, Chelsea replaced Barack with Al Shavin, allowing Essin and Lampard to serve as midfielders to protect themselves in front of the defense, with the intention of stabilizing the defense, but this did not seem to be of much help to the Blues.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took advantage of the serve to firmly control the ball.
Kaka was curbed in the front midfielder position, but Manchester City quickly adjusted.
Brazilian players' positions were properly retreated, David Silva and Modric pulled away from each other, and Manchester City began to focus on attacking the two wings.
At the same time, Gao Han quickly gave the latest instructions and the team retreated to the center line.
It turns out that Gao Han’s adjustment worked again.
If Manchester City blindly launches an offensive against Chelsea, in the end, it will only make the Blues' defense more solid. On the contrary, after appropriate retreat, the Blues can push out, and naturally there will be flaws.
As for Scolari to replace Al Shavin, although the Russians took the ball several times and caused trouble to Manchester City's defense, it was difficult to create a truly threatening attack. On the contrary, after the two sides were stalemate for more than ten minutes, in the 60th minute, Manchester City intercepted the ball in the middle and launched a counterattack, Kaka picked the pass, Benzema pulled to the right, chased the ball, and broke into Chelsea's penalty area.
When facing Terry one-on-one, Benzema fell to the ground and tackled the ball in the middle when his body was out of balance, and Cristiano Ronaldo inserted into the back row and headed the ball before Andrade.
Hilario was powerless to attack the header in the small penalty area.
Four to zero!
The entire city court once again burst into shocking passion.
Tens of thousands of Manchester City fans shouted in unison, which made the Portuguese extremely excited. They rushed to the sidelines and took an iconic cool posture, but were soon hugged by teammates chasing behind them.
"Manchester City's performance in the second half is still shocking."
"We saw that the game was still firmly controlled by Manchester City in the entire second half, and Chelsea could only passively deal with it. After more than ten minutes of stalemate, the Blues' goal was once again declared lost."
"Scolari looks helpless. He has made adjustments within his ability, but it seems that he has not been able to curb the crazy Manchester City team. On the contrary, Gao Han, in front of the home coach's seat, still looks very motivated and keeps shouting to the players."
"We saw that Manchester City was very motivated, but Chelsea seemed to be beaten to a low morale."
Soon, Scolari made another substitution adjustment.
This time he replaced Ashley Cole with Maluda, and the team's formation immediately became a three-back, while Maluda was on the left side of the midfield, and it seemed that he was playing in the third, fourth and third formation.
"Scolari was forced to take a response, three, four, three, one to defend one."
"Ashley Cole's performance in this game is indeed difficult to satisfy. He simply failed to defend Sanchez in time. Every attack from Manchester City creates a threat on Sanchez's side. Ashley Cole has to bear the main responsibility for his disadvantage in defense."
"In addition to defense, the offensive left side is also poor. Robinho was mediocre in the whole game under the defense of Mascherano and failed to create a threat. This must also attract Scolari to pay enough attention."
"After the substitution, the scene has become more balanced again, and Manchester City and Chelsea are waiting patiently for the opportunity."
"There is some movement on Manchester City's bench, and Gao Han looks like he's going to make a substitution."
…………

The scene was in a stalemate, and the sound of the city stadium stopped a little, but Manchester City fans still seemed very excited.
Not to mention moving into the city stadium, even at Maine Road stadium before, they have never played such a refreshing offensive football, let alone the arrogant Chelsea have been so embarrassed.
But in this game, Gao Han and his team did it.
Four to zero, Manchester City completely suppressed Chelsea.
The Blues even had only a mere five shots in the entire game, and they were on the right track at one shot. It is conceivable how embarrassed the scene was, which also made Abramovich, who was also sitting in the stands, furious.
Russia became popular and gritted its teeth, but it was holding back the anger in its heart.
He really wanted to say that after the game, he would just let Scolari get out.
But he can't do this because he knows that if Scolari is fired, it will probably be difficult for Chelsea to hire a high-level head coach to coach in a short period of time.
In fact, Scolari's coaching level may not be very high in the European top league. As early as the beginning of the season, many people offered advice to Abramovich, worried that Scolari would not be able to adapt to the professional league, but Abramovich eventually chose the Brazilian coach.
The reason is very simple. The head coach Guardiola, who he most hopes to invite, rejected his invitation without hesitation.
The Barcelona head coach was very dissatisfied with his previous treatment of Rijkaard, and even said bluntly that he would not consider coaching Chelsea at all. The reason was the same as Gao Han's reason for accusing Chelsea of the first time, and lacked respect for the head coach.
It was like a slap on Abramovich's face.
It is hard for him to imagine that if Scolari was fired after only half a year, who would come to take over Chelsea in the future.
"Damn Gao Han!" Abramovich cursed gritted his teeth.
If Gao Han had not made Rijkald's case public and used his influence to incite other head coaches to attack Abramovich, Chelsea would not have fallen into the current predicament.
If it weren't for him, how could Manchester City have attracted so many superstars? How could this game make Chelsea so embarrassed?
"This damn bastard!" Abramovich cursed again.
Granovskiya, Bruce Buck and others who were sitting beside him all swallowed, and they didn't dare to show off.
They all knew very well that the boss was angry at this moment, and whoever messed with him would be in trouble.
You know, he didn't plan to go to Manchester to supervise the battle in person. It was Scolari who expressed his confidence that he decided to go north, but he didn't expect...
"How are you in contact with Mendes?" Abramovich asked angrily.
Since I can't beat you on the court, I'll kill you outside the court.
Are you Chinese always talking about using your own strengths to defeat the enemy's weaknesses?
What labor and capital are best at is to use money to smash you, killing you, the poor man!
Granovskiya, who is in charge of keeping in touch with Mendes, immediately took over and said: "He has returned to Madrid and has had contact with Chinatown management, but they don't seem to consider selling Falcao and Ramirez during the winter break."
Falcao is the top spot in the La Liga scorer list this season, while Ramirez is the midfielder chosen by Scolari. Both players play for Chinatown, and Abramovich is happy to pack them up to Chelsea.
The best result is that after Chinatown lost two major players, it was relegated in shame and returned to the Spanish Second Division, which made Gao Han so angry.
As for Mendes, he is an agent. Although there were some conflicts between him and Chelsea in the year Gao Han left, it had been resolved over the years. As Mourinho and Jose Vega left Chelsea, the Blues and Mendes began to cooperate again. Abramovich believed that Mendes would know how to choose.
After all, European football has its own set of rules.
"Where is the player?" Abramovich asked.
"Mendes is communicating. According to his opinion, the players are all looking forward to joining us, but they are unwilling to offend Chinatown, so..." Granovskiya said stammeringly.
This is not difficult to understand.
Let me ask, in the current European football world, except for Chelsea, who would be open and stubborn to fight Gao Han?
Even Juventus, the number one victim of the phone door incident that Gao Han personally broke, has been constantly making up for his relationship with Gao Han over the years. Chairman Andre Agnelli repeatedly invited Gao Han to coach, but there was no result.
Therefore, it is normal for people like Falcao, Ramirez and others to be unwilling to commit suicide in Gao Han.
"Then call Mendes, increase the bargaining chips, and negotiate as soon as possible. I will see Falcao and Ramirez during the winter break." Abramovich was also angry at the end.
"I want to see, if I lose the shooter king and the midfielder Humerus, why should Chinatown relegate this season!"
…………
…………
While Abramovich was calculating Gao Han in the stadium stands, the game on the stadium changed again.
This time, Chelsea had a problem.
When facing Manchester City's press, Essin accidentally stopped the ball when receiving Lampard's pass.
Kaka, who was circling around, wouldn't he miss such a godsend opportunity? He rushed up immediately and rushed forward with a big stride with the ball.
Benzema, who was at the forefront, also waited for an opportunity to take action and was ready to counterattack at any time.
Although Kaka's speed of dribbling was not as fast as his peak, he was still very sharp and the situation on the field was clear at a glance. As soon as he saw Benzema's gesture, he immediately passed the ball diagonally to the right side of the penalty area and accelerated to sprint to the left side of the goal.
Benzema understood it and inserted it to the right side. After catching up with the ball, he did not wait for Terry to approach and made a low cross from the right, passing the ball to the left side of the goal.
The ball arrives, the person arrives!
Kaka took advantage of Andrade and volleyed easily, sending Benzema's incoming ball into the lower left corner of the goal guarded by Hilario, and then he climbed up from the ground and rushed to the side of the field. He pointed his right hand towards the night sky along the way, muttering something in his mouth.
This is Kaka's iconic goal celebration action!
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"In the 69th minute, Manchester City won another goal!"
"Kaka scored twice in the first Premier League."
"In this game, Manchester City's frontcourt offensive players played very well, with five goals, each of them very beautiful!"
"Chelsea suffered a complete defeat, which may even be the most painful defeat that Chelsea has encountered in the past decade."
"Scolari should consider the most now not how to tie, but how to score goals and keep Chelsea's face, even if it's just a goal."
"Gao Han also looked very excited. In the live TV camera, he raised his right hand toward a certain place in the stadium stand, stretched out his five fingers, this is..."
"We see Chelsea boss Abramovich sitting in the stands. Is Gao Han using this method to retaliate against what the Russian rich have done to him?"
"Abramovich's face was very embarrassing. He shouldn't have come to the away game in person, but what he came gave Gao Han a chance to humiliate him in person. What's more, Chelsea is in very bad shape in this game."
"Five to zero, Manchester City can almost be said to be sure to win."
