Chelsea's substitutions inject vitality into the defense.
The threat of Manchester City's local play is disappearing.
The space for Hao Qiang and Silva to cooperate was squeezed, and Aguero was also focused on.
The game fell into a stalemate.
At this time, Yaya Toure's long-range shot presented a certain threat, but it was not enough to score. At best, it could scare Chelsea.
After 70 minutes of the game, Hao Qiang decisively retreated.
A stalemate will only work in Chelsea's favour.
Although Willian's breakthrough is not as good as Hazard's, his team role is more obvious, frequently passing the ball to Torres and Eto'o, and Chelsea's striker plays a good threat.
When Hao Qiang tried to dribble from the center to break out of the way, Ramirez and Mikel's interceptions affected him. Ivanovic's defense was flexible, and the supplementary press disrupted Hao Qiang's rhythm and caused him to continue.
The ball was intercepted twice.
It seems that both teams are unable to defeat their opponents.
Manchester City's threat decreased, while Chelsea's threat increased but failed to score.
As the game approached the 80th minute, when Hao Qiang controlled the ball on the left side of the center circle, Aguero moved in and Yaya Toure stepped in to connect.
After Hao Qiang was pressed by the zone defense, he passed the ball back to Xavi Garcia, who came up to assist, who passed the ball to the left.
Clichy cut in at high speed along the wing.
Ivanovic helps defend the center, and it is too late to return to the wing at this time.
Clichy dribbled to the edge of the penalty area and passed the ball.
Aguero has cut inside and reached the center.
When Hao Qiang moved forward, he crossed into the left rib area of the penalty area.
Stop the ball with your right foot at the front point and swing your left leg to strike the goal.
Terry immediately stepped forward and used his body to block the attack.
But Hao Qiang dunked the ball with his left foot and turned around to miss him.
Take a step towards the middle, then swing your right leg and hit the goal with your right foot!
The football flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!
There was nothing Cech could do about the ball.
The Manchester City fans in the visiting team’s stands cheered wildly!
"Hao Huang is too strong!"
"His dunk in the penalty area is definitely a reflection of his level!"
"If our midfield can provide more support to the strikers, then Hao Huang will definitely be able to score more goals!"
Chelsea looked anxious, fearing that the home court would be destroyed.
In the first half, there was optimism that they could beat Manchester City.
Chelsea needs to be updated, while Manchester City needs to adapt and adjust.
Everyone has his own way.
It depends on who walks on the right path first and reaches the other side first.
Hao Qiang rushed to the sidelines and knelt down to celebrate!
The tall and powerful figure made Chelsea fans feel in a trance.
It was like seeing their monsters from the past.
The Manchester City generals rushed to surround Hao Qiang, but Yaya Toure silently walked to the midfield without participating.
When Hao Qiang continued to score goals and Yaya Toure continued not to participate in the team's goal celebrations, this scene became more glaring.
Manchester City fans are even more resentful towards Yaya Toure's attitude.
Who is right and who is wrong?
There is no right or wrong.
There's only one wrong thing to do on a football field.
Weakness is the original sin.
Pellegrini makes a substitution.
Hao Qiang and Aguero were substituted together.
Nasri and Dzeko appear.
He gave signs to the team to strengthen their defense.
Chelsea just failed to score.
Now that Manchester City has strengthened their defense, they should be able to win the game with certainty.
But things are never sure in football!
Pellegrini is too optimistic.
When Chelsea's pressure on the defensive end is reduced, they can release more firepower!
After all, there is not much time left in the game, so of course we have to fight for our lives.
In the 90th minute of the game, William's long shot was saved by Joe Hart, and Fernandinho made a big kick on the penalty area line.
Unexpectedly, the football flew back soon.
Mikel controlled the ball in the midfield and sent a diagonal pass to the ground.
Ashley Cole made a cross from the frontcourt at a 45-degree angle.
Eto'o scrambled for the ball at the back of the penalty area but Demichelis headed the ball out first.
However, the football was controlled by William in front of the penalty area and passed back to Oscar, who sent a through ball.
Torres cleverly countered the offside move and reached the penalty spot, turning half and sweeping the ball towards the lower left corner of the goal.
Stamford Bridge suddenly shook!
Blues fans cheered wildly.
Mourinho looked determined, and he was also inspired.
But the score of 2:2 is obviously not worth celebrating.
Aguero covered his mouth next to Hao Qiang and said: "Pellegrini's substitution is too bad!"
Hao Qiang didn't change his expression. He turned to Aguero and whispered: "Some people think they are very powerful and need some lessons to make them understand their position."
Aguero was thoughtful.
I don’t know whether Hao Qiang is talking about Yaya Toure or Pellegrini.
He asked back: "You think you are the most powerful."
Hao Qiang scoffed.
"If you think I'm arrogant, then why am I having any conflict with Yaya Toure? If I really want to be strong enough to win the game by myself, I won't care about his performance at all, but I'm not, so that's why
It makes people angry.”
Aguero thought for a while and nodded: "I am starting to lose patience with him. I just need to play well in the midfield. But I have to do so many things. He wants to play as an attacking midfielder, so let him play."
I didn’t see how good my performance was, and I kept looking down all day long.”
Hao Qiang wanted to laugh, but now the team had just tied the score. Obviously, if he laughed at this time, it would be caught by the camera and the city would be full of uproar after the game.
So he controlled his emotions.
"If you give him a weekly salary of 600,000 pounds, don't let him play as an attacking midfielder. If you let him work as a ball boy, he will give you a smile every day."
Aguero lowered his head, he couldn't hold it in, he really laughed!
"Brother, why did you tell the truth?"
Hao Qiang said nothing.
competition is over.
Hao Qiang stood up and left the stage with a normal expression.
However, after Mourinho shook hands with Pellegrini after the game, he took the initiative to speed up and came to Hao Qiang. After shaking hands with him in the tunnel, he said straight to the point: "It's a pity that you are in Manchester City."
Hao Qiang looked at Mourinho as he walked and said with a smile: "Each team's situation is different, and I am not a coward who shrinks when encountering some difficulties. It would be a pity if everyone is blind, but
I believe Manchester City is not."
Mourinho shook his head and said: "All growth comes at a cost, and so does the club."
He sighed softly and parted with Hao Qiang.
Of course Mourinho misses Hao Qiang, but Chelsea is not in the era of spending money like water ten years ago.
But who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
If he has a chance to cooperate with Hao Qiang...
Fleet Street didn't think highly of the match.
Chelsea's style of play and tactics determine that it is difficult for the game to be as picturesque as mercury falls, and Manchester City's own operation is not smooth and delicate enough.
In top-level battles, Yaya Toure's creative weakness as an attacking midfielder was clearly exposed.
Even though the late equalizer could be used to cover up the problem with bad luck, Fleet Street was unwilling to let Manchester City go.
For the first time, a football critic began to give Manchester City advice: give up Yaya Toure!
The current situation is quite embarrassing.
Whether Manchester City plays with a three midfielder or a two-midfielder.
Yaya Toure plays as a defensive midfielder, and his contribution to defense is far less than when he first came to the team.
Dirty work is done less.
The defense line is under great pressure.
He plays as an attacking midfielder, has low creativity, is uncomfortable on the front line, and also needs David Silva to go to the wing.
The attacking group is unhappy.
The most suitable position for him is actually the defensive midfielder and central midfielder.
The backcourt connects offense and defense, and has a certain ability to advance without going deep into the opponent's defensive core. At the same time, it can also have an unexpected long-range shot.
These advantages were suppressed to the freezing point when he played as an attacking midfielder.
Facing a tighter defense, more intense confrontation, shorter time to handle the ball, and almost no room to advance.
The performance of personal abilities is always related to environmental conditions.
It's a pity that Yaya Toure himself may not realize this.
He used to be the core of Manchester City's midfield, because Manchester City was very poor at that time. His joining the team as a La Liga and Champions League champion was more like technical poverty alleviation.
But now Manchester City is no longer at that stage. They want to hit more ambitious goals and create a greater cause, and the team building structure has undergone fundamental changes in grade.
Hao Qiang is the well-deserved core.
This kind of situation will definitely not happen to an experienced giant, which is why Mourinho said it is "a pity".
Manchester City appears hesitant to resolve internal conflicts.
They always naively believe that a superstar and a superstar can coexist peacefully.
Manchester City visits St James' Park to challenge Newcastle United in midweek.
League Cup round of 16.
Hao Qiang sat on the bench.
Without Hao Qiang on the court, Yaya Toure is more free-spirited in the midfield.
It's eye-catching, but the performance is not outstanding.
At the end of the 90-minute match, the two teams were still 0:0.
Pellegrini had no choice but to make a substitution.
Dzeko and Hao Qiang appeared at the same time.
Yaya Toure and Nasri come off.
After the overtime started, Manchester City's style of play became simple and rough.
Frequent ball bombing from the wing.
Although Hao Qiang and Dzeko did not cooperate too much, they worked hard to seize opportunities based on their personal strength.
10 minutes into the first half of overtime, Hao Qiang broke the deadlock by running in the penalty area and shaking his head to score.
Manchester City fans were ecstatic.
After struggling for 100 minutes, I was finally freed from the torture.
Before the end of the first half of overtime, Hao Qiang stopped the ball in the penalty area, protected the ball, dodged and then sent a wonderful pass.
Dzeko scored in front of the goal.
Manchester City scored two goals in 5 minutes!
Newcastle United's situation is over.
I can't rush anymore.
Manchester City strengthened its defense in the second half of overtime.
Hao Qiang took the initiative to retreat to the midfield to relieve the pressure on the defense.
Manchester City fans couldn't help but be filled with emotion when they saw it.
"Look at Hao Huang! It's really a brick. It needs to be moved wherever it goes!"
"Team spirit Hao Huang can't say enough. Look at his performance in other teams. He has played in many positions, and those coaches will praise Hao Huang for taking the initiative to contribute to the team."
"Look at Yaya Toure again, oh, how did he become like this!"
"Maybe he thought winning the league for us would be the end of it.
You can rest on your laurels and do whatever you want until you retire."
"If Emperor Hao didn't come, would he be like this?"
"You know, we haven't dealt with stars who have a lot of troubles. Who still remembers Tevez now?"
