Chapter 402 Is This Love?(2/3)
But soon, De Bruyne caught a glimpse of Courtois standing in front of Chelsea's goal from the corner of his eye.
forget it.
It's a bit awkward to be his teammate in Belgium.
After all, the national team has only played a game for a long time. If the club gets tired of being together every day, it will be really unbearable.
At this time, De Bruyne saw that the fourth official on the sidelines had raised the substitution card.
Chelsea's goal hero Harry Kane is off, and young French forward Mbappe is on.
"A substitution was made in less than 60 minutes? It seems that Kane is not injured, and he doesn't feel that his physical condition is not working anymore."
De Bruyne was a little confused, but more of an ominous premonition.
Judging from his experience working with Pan Yi, taking the initiative to replace people so early is often just to cause something...
He glanced towards the sidelines.
Pellegrini was still staring at the court intently and didn't do anything special.
After Mbappe came on the field, he stood on Chelsea's right wing, which is also Manchester City's left wing.
"Do they want to change their attack route?" De Bruyne just thought this, and he also felt that the pressure on his side seemed to have become lighter.
The ball at Chelsea's feet seems to be moving to the left consciously.
Azpilicueta is running forward along the sideline with the ball.
Yaya Toure came to intercept, but Azpilicueta immediately pushed the ball forward and passed it out.
"Watch out for that kid who just came up!" De Bruyne shouted.
He actually doesn't know Mbappe's technical characteristics very well, but he knows Pan Yi's characteristics.
If the young player who had just been replaced did not have two brushes, Pan Yi would not have sent him up, let alone at 60 minutes.
"I come!"
Kolarov stayed close to Mbappe, firmly locked in position.
Seeing that Chelsea's offense was about to be blocked again, when Mbappe seemed to be blocked by Kolarov, when the French youngster stopped the ball, he suddenly kicked the ball forward hard and then turned sideways.
Chase forward!...
The whole audience suddenly burst into exclamations!
Everyone was taken aback by Mbappe's sudden acceleration.
"Oh my god... Mbappe's speed..."
I saw Mbappe accelerate suddenly to get rid of Kolarov and quickly catch up with the ball.
At this moment, everyone felt Mbappe's speed!
Kolarov's reaction was not fast enough, but his absolute speed disadvantage meant that he was still blocked by Mbappe.
The two of them ran one after the other, heading towards Manchester City's penalty area.
Captain Kompany paid close attention to the movements of the two men and looked at Lukaku behind him from time to time.
His target today is mainly this big black guy.
Well, both of them are black men, so they can match each other and be evenly matched.
And he also believes that young players like Mbappe should still choose to pass to "big brothers" like Lukaku to shoot after breaking through.
I heard that this French kid is only 16 years old and has only played a few professional league games, so he definitely doesn't have enough confidence.
But as soon as Kompany's idea came to his mind, he saw Mbappe making another trip, already approaching the small penalty area!
Does this mean to pass the ball??
Kompany knew that if he didn't block it, Mbappe would have to face Joe Hart alone.
So he rushed forward quickly.
In this flash of lightning, Mbappe suddenly made a sudden stop. In a hurry, Kompany followed suit without thinking.
But then, Mbappe suddenly started again, relying on his more flexible and explosive body to forcefully create a gap between Kompany and goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Mbappe had just thrown away half his body, and without thinking, he shot with his right foot!
It was at this moment that Kompany realized how determined this kid was in shooting!
The ball flew past Kompany and quickly entered the lower right corner of the goal under the nose of goalkeeper Joe Hart!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"In the 61st minute, in the 61st minute, Mbappe scored Hart's goal!"
"Chelsea leads 2-0!"
"Pan Yi's substitution worked again. The French teenager Mbappe, who is only 16 years and 8 months old, scored in his first attack after coming on as a substitute!"
"His speed is so unbelievable, and this goal is so unbelievable! Who would have thought that Chelsea would turn against the visitors and play so fiercely that they are now two goals ahead!"
Mbappe, the hero of the goal, immediately turned around and ran away after rubbing the shot.
He had a premonition, a shooter's instinctive premonition, that the ball was there!
He excitedly rushed out of Manchester City's penalty area. He rushed past Hazard who wanted to stop him. He rushed past Lukaku who was hugging him. He rushed out of the stadium...
"Boss, I love you, I love you so much!"
Mbappe rushed to the sidelines and immediately picked up head coach Pan Yi.
It felt as if the person he was hugging was his beloved lover!
This scene shocked everyone present.
Oh my god, what's going on?
Is this love?——
"this……"
Pellegrini gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, having the urge to beat someone to vent the anger in his chest.
He really didn't expect that his young opponent would dig Manchester City so deeply. Every step he took seemed to be calculated by Pan Yi!!!
Yes, Pellegrini himself is very aware of Manchester City's defensive problems this season.
Introducing Sterling and De Bruyne, these are all players who are stronger in offense than defense, plus David Silva, Aguero and others in the original team, it would be inappropriate not to let anyone play.
There is no way to sacrifice defense for the sake of offense.
Therefore, Pellegrini also worked hard to find a way for them to coexist on the court and let the two defensive midfielders provide support.
But the problem is that Pan Yi can always seize Manchester City's weaknesses and hammer them wherever they are weak, until Manchester City's defense is hammered to pieces...
No, we can't let our team be humiliated like this by our opponents at home.
Counterattack, must counterattack!
But just when Pellegrini walked to the sidelines to appeal to the players not to dwell on conceding goals and to increase their offense, he actually heard shouts from next door.
"Continue to strengthen the offensive and just play like this!"
It was Pan Yi, who was surrounded by Chelsea players, calling on the players to return to the court and start the game again.
This made Pellegrini a little confused.
With a two-goal lead, he didn't intend to defend, but wanted to continue attacking?
This kid...
Pellegrini also got angry and yelled directly at the players on the court: "What are you doing? Attack me!"
After yelling, Pellegrini blushed and looked at Pan Yi again.
Pan Yi was obviously a little surprised that this famous coach, who seemed to be usually polite, actually had such a side.
But he quickly guessed it.
It must have been the tremendous pressure brought about by the rumors of get out of class dismissal that crushed the Chilean engineer's psychology...
——
Everyone on the scene looked at everything on the court in disbelief.
Now Chelsea is playing against the away team and is overwhelming the home team.
On the court, the pace of the game was fast, and the fans in the stands kept screaming.
Amidst the constant exclamations, both teams also created some opportunities one after another.
Among them, the most threatening thing for Manchester City was that three minutes after conceding the ball, De Bruyne passed a good ball. Aguero's shot from the line of the penalty area was steadily saved by Courtois.
.
This is also Manchester City's most threatening attack since the start of the game.
But after that, Chelsea continued to apply pressure and pressed harder step by step.
To be continued...
