Chapter 339 Exchange for the third attribute, Lin Quan's revenge!
The referee showed no mercy and showed yellow cards to Ramirez who committed the foul, David Silva who pushed the opponent, and Yaya Toure.
Before the first half was over, both sides had already received 6 yellow cards.
Of these six yellow cards, four were received by Manchester City players.
This made Pellegrini on the sidelines worried. Both of his midfielders received yellow cards. This was not good news! It seemed that he had to make substitutions in advance in the second half, otherwise, the team's midfield defense would have big problems.
Thinking of this, he looked at the team's bench.
There were three midfielders sitting on the bench, Kroos, Fernando and Lampard.
Yes, the Blues' genie is now playing for Manchester City.
This summer, after Lampard's contract with Chelsea expired, the two sides did not renew the contract, and Lampard left for the Major League Soccer to seek gold.
New York City chose to loan him back to the Premier League. Manchester City happened to be short of players, so at the last minute of the transfer window, the two sides signed a loan contract.
According to the contract, Lampard will play for Manchester City until January next year.
At that time, we will decide whether to renew his contract or let him return to New York City based on his performance on the court.
Kroos' defensive ability is not strong, but his offensive ability is outstanding. If he plays, he can effectively improve Manchester City's offensive ability.
Lampard and Fernando are stronger in defense, so if Manchester City takes the lead, they can be sent to stabilize the situation.
Thinking of this, Pellegrini had an idea in mind.
He plans to decide who to send into the game based on the game situation in the second half, but before that, the team cannot receive any more cards.
If we get another card, we will probably lose some members!
Inside the Etihad Stadium, watching the heated scene on the field, as well as the constant fouls and yellow cards.
The fans at the scene gradually shifted their attention from the game to attacking the opposing players and fans.
The atmosphere of this game was very strange, with players on both sides playing with obvious emotions.
And this situation is tailor-made for Chelsea striker Diego Costa.
Diego Costa's hands and feet are not very clean. During physical confrontations, he is very good at using some hidden little moves to trick others.
It was because he was tricked by him that Zabaleta got angry and committed a foul, resulting in a yellow card.
At this time, seeing that the opponent's defensive player had a yellow card, Diego Costa consciously moved towards the Manchester City player with a card, actively seeking physical confrontation, and continued to use his little tricks to provoke his opponent.
Manchester City's defenders were annoyed by his harassment. When Demichelis was defending him, he made a retaliatory tackle and received another yellow card.
Manchester City has received 5 yellow cards in this game!
"Kid, this is just a lesson. Next time I see those little moves of yours, watch out for your legs!"
Demichelis didn't care about the yellow card at all. After the foul, he glared at Diego Costa fiercely and issued a warning to him.
Diego Costa fell to the ground, grimacing in pain.
The opponent's tackle was really heavy this time! After realizing that the opponent was not joking, his little movements were indeed restrained a lot.
Although Manchester City players were very angry, they still suppressed Chelsea in the first half.
In this game, Mourinho put Ramires in the central midfielder position and moved Fabregas back to the defensive midfielder position.
This adjustment made it difficult for Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt to hold the ball, and William's problem of being too sticky to the ball was exposed. Once Chelsea's ball was passed to his feet, he liked to dribble it around, and even if he wanted to pass the ball, he would delay before passing it.
In this situation, Manchester City's defense had already been in place, and it would be difficult for him to pose a threat by passing the ball.
Not only did William perform poorly, Hazard's performance was also sluggish.
Chelsea found it difficult to form an effective attack in the first half. Their smooth coordination and super offensive firepower in the previous games seemed to be silenced in front of Manchester City.
On the sidelines, Mourinho also frowned.
Although the psychological tactics worked, the team's offense was not threatening, which was not good news! As long as Manchester City's players regained their composure, their offense could pose a threat at any time.
Especially since the opponent’s lineup includes a super giant like Lin Quan!
Therefore, we have to continue to foul Lin Quan and completely anger him.
In the 41st minute, Ivanovic brought down Lin Quan in front of the penalty area and received the eighth yellow card of the game.
This was the third time in a short period of time that a Chelsea player had committed a serious foul on Lin Quan! However, to the surprise of Mourinho and Chelsea's players, Lin Quan did not seem injured or angry.
After being kicked, he quickly got up from the ground, held the ball and placed it at the foul spot, ready to take the free kick.
Seeing the position of the free kick, Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois was stunned for a moment and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
His instinct told him that this position was very dangerous! "Damn, why can't I kick this guy down?"
Seeing that he stood up so quickly and seemed very stable and not affected too much, Mourinho suddenly began to doubt whether his tactics were correct!
"Want me to cover for you?"
De Bruyne walked up and asked.
In recent games, he has scored quite a few goals with free kicks and is in great form right now.
If he and Lin Quan appeared behind the football at the same time, the opponent's goalkeeper would definitely not be able to accurately judge who would take the penalty.
"No, I can do it myself!"
Lin Quan took a look at Chelsea's goal and his eyes met with goalkeeper Courtois in the air.
Courtois saw the smile on the other person's lips and became more alert.
How will the opponent play this ball? Is it an elevator ball or an S-shaped free kick?
Courtois was a little confused. Lin Quan often used these two methods and their success rate was very high.
However, his judgments were all wrong.
The moment the referee awarded the free kick, Lin Quan had already thought about how to kick the ball.
As he retreated, he entered the system mall interface and spent 50 points to purchase Robert Carlos' heavy artillery shooting technique.
After thinking about it, I spent another 100 points to raise the strength attribute to the maximum level.
Okay, time to start the show!
After purchasing two talents, Lin Quan exited the system, but he was still retreating, getting farther and farther away from the football.
When the Chelsea players saw that the opponent had such a long run-up distance, their faces began to change.
What on earth does this guy want?
Are you serious about retreating 20 meters? With such a long run-up distance, the opponent is going to shoot hard, right? The Chelsea players in the front line of the wall couldn't help but pray in their hearts, praying that Lin Quan could shoot more accurately.
But don't throw the ball at them. Being hit by such a heavy artillery will definitely not be pleasant, and you may even get hurt! Courtois perked up. He suspected that Lin Quan was deliberately being mysterious because he had never seen Lin Quan use a heavy artillery before.
But he didn't dare to be careless, because just because he hadn't seen it didn't mean the other party wouldn't do it.
When the entire Chelsea team was facing a formidable enemy, Lin Quan moved.
He sprinted at full speed, and every step seemed to step on the hearts of Chelsea players, making them tremble and feel fear.
With this terrifying running speed, he really wants to hit hard!
Courtois widened his eyes and judged the opponent's intention based on his experience as a goalkeeper.
The Chelsea players in the front row were obviously aware of this. When Lin Quan kicked the ball, they all covered their key parts and subconsciously dodged the football.
Bang! A loud noise! Ah! A scream! Someone still didn't dodge! Chelsea's players breathed a sigh of relief and looked curiously in the direction of the sound.
Their midfielder Matic was seen holding his stomach in pain, his body bent into the shape of a shrimp.
Seeing him sweating in pain and opening his mouth but unable to make a sound, the Chelsea players were all frightened.
This is revenge, blatant revenge! Matic was the first to foul Lin Quan and even said something rude.
This time, Lin Quan's free kick was deliberately off target. No, judging from the opponent's footwork, it was very likely that he was deliberately looking for Matic!
Thinking of this, the Chelsea players looked at Lin Quan with some horror and fear.
This kid is so scary! The other party used this method to retaliate against them, and they couldn't even fart!
Chelsea's team doctors came on the field and after examining Matic, they determined that he could not continue playing.

Mourinho's face was livid. Matic's unexpected injury completely disrupted his plans.
He had to bring on Miguel for Matic.
Matic's injury had a great deterrent effect on Chelsea players. In the remaining time, they dared not commit fouls, especially against Lin Quan.
This guy is too vindictive, and his methods of revenge are too terrible. No one wants to end up like Matic.
Chelsea has restrained itself, but Manchester City has no intention of letting them go.
In the final stage of the first half, Manchester City formed a siege on Chelsea's goal.
In the 44th minute, Silva made a cross from the left, and Lin Quan's shot in the penalty area was slightly off target.
A minute later, Yaya Toure passed the ball in front of the penalty area, and Kolarov came in from behind and made a cross from the left.
Jovetic's header in front of the goal hit the post, and the ball bounced back and fell to De Bruyne's feet.
He shot the ball, but he didn't know whether he passed the ball intentionally or his shot didn't hit the right spot. The ball didn't fly towards the goal, but instead flew in front of Silva who was following up on the right.
David Silva made a straight pass and sent the ball into the penalty area between two opposing defenders.
With his strength greatly increased, Lin Quan squeezed past the opponent's defender, broke into the penalty area, and shot the ball into Chelsea's goal.
In the last minute of the first half, Manchester City broke the deadlock and changed the score to 1:0. This goal came too timely. If it was a few dozen seconds later, the referee would have blew the whistle to end the first half.
After seeing Lin Quan score a goal, the Manchester City players, who were full of anger, rushed towards him like crazy.
Lin Quan, who was usually calm, also lost his mind this time.
He took off his jersey, revealing his muscular body, ran to the edge of the court, opened his arms, raised his head, and faced the stands with his eyes closed!
There was deafening applause and cheers at the Etihad Stadium, and the Blue Moon fans cheered excitedly at the top of their lungs.
This goal is so fucking satisfying!
Chelsea's fouls in the first half had already aroused the anger of Manchester City fans.
If the security personnel on the scene had not stopped them, they would have rushed onto the field and taught Chelsea a lesson.
Of course, if they really do this, the FA will definitely deal with Manchester City seriously.
At that time, the Etihad Stadium is likely to be punished and fans will be banned from entering to watch the game.
In the coaching booth, Pellegrini felt a warm current rushing to his forehead. He jumped up from his seat excitedly, hugged his assistants around him tightly, and celebrated wildly!
In the visiting team's coaching booth next door, after seeing Lin Quan score a goal, Mourinho became furious. He turned around and kicked the mineral water bottle in front of him hard.
Damn it!
This ball was lost at the wrong time!
My tactics were clearly designed very successfully, so what went wrong and made them completely ineffective?
Mourinho was scratching his head and couldn't figure out why Lin Quan wasn't angry? Was it because the foul wasn't strong enough? No, Chelsea had already received three yellow cards on him, so how could they foul him again?
Another foul and it will be Chelsea's turn to be sent off with a red card! Calm down!
Don't lose your composure, my tactics haven't failed yet!
There's still time in the second half! Humph, Manchester City, just wait and see!
Mourinho returned to the locker room without looking back. The outcome of the first half had been decided and there was little time left. There was no need to waste any more time.
The top priority now is to seize the 45 minutes in the second half and do more!
During the half-time break, players from both sides almost came to blows in the player tunnel on their way back to the locker room because of a few words.
If the staff and several referees on the sidelines had not appeared in time to stop them, the two sides would have inevitably fought.
There was no deep hatred between Manchester City and Chelsea before, but in this game, a lot of dirty things happened between the two sides.
This made the players on both sides very angry, and the feud between the two teams was completely formed.
"Chelsea bastards, clean your asses and wait!"
"Manchester City bastards, I advise you to poop cleanly, or we will beat you into shit later!"
…
Players from both teams were hurling insults at each other outside the locker room, using obscene language related to excrement.
Lin Quan had no interest in such bickering and turned back to the locker room.
After entering the locker room, the first thing he saw was Lampard sitting quietly in the corner.
In this situation, Lampard's position is awkward.
He is now wearing the Manchester City jersey and should be on Manchester City's side.
But he played for Chelsea for 14 years and has a deep affection for the Blues.
So in this situation, it would not be appropriate for him to help either side, so he might as well hide in the locker room and not show up.
Lin Quan expressed his understanding and had no intention of causing trouble for the other party.
He walked up to Aguero who was injured and left the field, and asked about his injury with concern.
"How about it?"
"Haha, not so good. I strained the ligament in my left thigh. I need to rest for 6-8 weeks."
Although Aguero was forcing a smile, the distress and frustration in his tone were obvious.
Lin Quan patted his shoulder and comforted him:
"Recover from your injuries and make adjustments. We will be waiting for you to come back!"
