Manchester Municipal Stadium was in full swing. Everyone shouted the name of the goal hero at the same time.

"Zhang Yang!"

"open!"

"Beautiful job, Zhang!"

Mark Hughes, who had been standing on the sidelines and was always nervous, had no good idea, clenched his fists and jumped up. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief... One-to-one draw, for Manchester City, it was completely acceptable. Even the final score of the game was definitely a satisfactory result for Mark Hughes.

Of course, the first half is not over yet.

Around him, Manchester City's bench also formed a group, and the goal came too timely! If it was a little later, they could only enter the halftime break with a score of 0:1. In that case, it would have a great impact on Manchester City's morale and the trend of the entire game.

Zhang Yang's goal not only equalized the score, but more importantly, he greatly improved the morale of the team! Let the players know that even if the opponent is Chelsea, they are not powerless to fight back.

"Zhang Yang's personal performance! He did a pretty job! He let Chelsea know one thing - nothing can stop his goal! This killer on the court, the most powerful striker in football today, can always have a way to pry open the opponent's closed door and bring goals to the team!"

"Zhang Yang! His goal! One to one! His condition is excellent. Although the opponent strictly guards him, he still uses the goal to tell everyone that he can't stop him!"

"A wonderful goal! Zhang Yang's personal performance! One to one! Manchester City equalized the score!"

"This is Zhang Yang's seventh league goal this season! He is far ahead in the scorer list! Now I don't doubt that he is the most competitive in the scorer list!"

The commentators threw all the praises they could think of to this Chinese striker. The reason why this game was the focus was that Manchester City's oil rich boss was not the main reason. The most important reason was Zhang Yang. It was because of Zhang Yang that Manchester City had some capital that could threaten Chelsea! He is the biggest capital that Manchester City can confront Chelsea, and it can even be said to be the only capital!

Facing teams such as West Ham United and Sunderland, Zhang Yang cut melons and vegetables, and scored six goals in three games. However, many people are paying attention to what Zhang Yang can perform against a truly strong team like Chelsea and what kind of performance the Manchester City team he leads can perform.

Manchester City players celebrated on the court, while Chelsea seemed a little quiet.

Scolari shook his arm angrily. In his plan, before the end of the first half, he scored another goal and entered the halftime break with a 2-0 lead, which was the most perfect. In that case, Chelsea will determine the victory of the game, and the second half will not be so difficult, and the players will also be able to get a rest. A week later, Chelsea will usher in the championship-winning rival Manchester United at home Stamford Bridge Stadium. That long game is the real highlight in Scolari's eyes! Manchester City? This is just an appetizer.

However, the appetizer in Scolari's eyes now made Scolari feel uncomfortable and feel a little nauseous!

A one-to-one score! This means that if Chelsea cannot score another goal before the end of the first half and establish a lead, then in the second half, Chelsea will have to launch a crazy attack on Manchester City again until the victory is established. This means that Chelsea will fall into a tough battle!

This is obviously something Scolari has always tried his best to avoid. After the Premier League schedule this season came out, Scolari set his goal in the fifth round of the league to the King of Kings Battle against Manchester United.

In Scolari's plan, in the first four rounds of the league, Chelsea would do well to win four consecutive games, make a concerted effort to lay the foundation for the season, and then defeat Manchester United in the Battle of Tianwangshan to lay the foundation for the championship throughout the season!

In the last round of the league, Chelsea was tied by Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 at home Stamford Bridge Stadium, which made Scolari very unhappy. Scolari would not allow the team to have any further accidents in this game against Manchester City! It would be best to be able to win without bloodshed. But now, it is not easy to win this game easily.

After the re-telection, Manchester City players were still immersed in the goal just now, and some of them were not focused enough. This is also the place where the media has always criticized Manchester City. This team is always habitually distracted on the court. When leading, when leading, and when falling behind, it is easier to collapse. This is also an important reason why the English media always look down on Manchester City.

Manchester City was distracted, which gave Chelsea a chance.

They almost scored again, which was Deco's pass tore open Manchester City's defense line. Anelka completed a good-quality shot on the left side of the penalty area. If Joe Hart had not been very focused and made a world-class save. When Maluda, who had made a follow-up shot, actually fired anti-aircraft guns directly in the face of the empty goal, then the score would be 1:2 by the end of the first half.

Chelsea coach Scolari was obviously very dissatisfied with Maluda's waste of the opportunity to play empty goals. He stood on the sidelines, waving his arms and shouting, as if he was an angry old bird.

Maluda's face was gray when he was roaring. He knew that he had wasted that opportunity just now, and the head coach was very dissatisfied.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score in the first half did not change again, and the score on the scoreboard of Manchester Municipal Stadium:

Manchester City 1:1 Chelsea!

Zhang Yang and Lampard scored goals for Manchester City and Chelsea respectively!

During the break, Chelsea coach Scolari returned to the locker room before the whistle sounded, which showed that he was not very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

Mark Hughes stayed on the sidelines, and any Manchester City player who came off the court would be patted by him on the shoulder.

It was not easy for Manchester City to retain a one-to-one score at the end of the first half. When Maluda made a follow-up shot, Mark Hughes thought that Chelsea must have had that goal, but he didn't expect Manchester City to escape.

The atmosphere in Chelsea's locker room was a bit depressing, and Manchester City equalized the score. The 1-to-1 score in the half-time will not satisfy these players. This is the difference between the strong and non-strong teams' requirements for themselves. These Chelsea players know that if they want to sprint towards the championship all the way in the long league, they must win as much as possible when the games they should win, and do not leave any regrets.

To be honest, Chelsea players really don’t regard Manchester City as their opponent! They really just treat Manchester City as a dish.

Scolari summarized the first half and gave a speech.

"I'm not satisfied with the goal in the first half," said Scolari. "You are all champions and you should understand the impact of the half-time lead on the whole game."

As he said that, he looked at the players.

After being swept by his eyes, Maluda did not dare to look at the head coach.

"Don't think about the goal that you lost. I always maintain trust in your abilities. Scoring goals is not difficult for us, and victory is not a problem for us. I believe this." Scolari knew it was enough. Although he was the coach who led Brazil to the World Cup, he could not really win the respect and support of these proud stars before leading this team to the title of Chelsea. Some words cannot be said too much.

"What makes me dissatisfied is that we could have scored more goals, but we didn't catch some opportunities." Scolari said. "I don't want to see this in the second half. The season is long. You have to ask yourself whether you are ready to move forward with this long way."

Terry is the captain. Faced with the anger of the head coach, he must speak on behalf of the team. He raised his hand and signaled that he had something to say.

"What are you going to say, Terry?"

"Coach! I dare to guarantee that in the second half, you will see a better Chelsea. We will definitely be able to win Manchester City and face Manchester United with the best attitude."

"I hope this is." Scola had no expression inside. "I admit that my requirements are very strict, but it is precisely because you are champions that I am like this. I hope you understand this."

"We understand." Terry said. Terry can't like Scolari, the head coach, but he can't say he hates it. So far, Chelsea has performed well and started well. Everything is on the right path. As the captain, he must set an example of supporting the head coach in any aspect!

On the other hand, in Manchester City's locker room, head coach Mark Hughes is also making arrangements for the tactics of the second half.

"Chelsea must have come for victory, so their offensive in the second half will be even stronger than in the first half. So, I want to remind you to pay attention to your cards in the second half. You need to be smarter when choosing fouls." Mark Hughes said.

"Scolari's Chelsea's slogan is beautiful football. In the second half, your defense pressure will be very high." He pointed to Richards and Marklele. These two and Sabaleta have yellow cards. The team's two full-backs and midfielders have yellow cards. This is very fatal to the team. "You should pay attention. Scollele will definitely focus on asking their players to attack a certain road! Especially you, Marklele, you are very familiar with Chelsea, and they are also familiar with you."

Marklele nodded. Although he had only played half of this game, he was already a little tired. There was no way. When he was at Chelsea, Lampard could help him, and Essin could help him. At Manchester City, he was the only barrier to defend the middle. Whether it was Modric or Ellano, the help to him was limited.

Mark Hughes' tactical arrangement mainly emphasizes how the team defends and how to deal with Chelsea's fierce offensive. However, it only emphasizes the speed and efficiency of counterattacks, and does not talk much about it.
