Cranes and clams compete with each other, and fishermen win.
It doesn't matter who chelsea and Liverpool are the cranes and who are the clams, but Manchester City are certainly the fishermen.
In the 21st round of the Premier League, the Blues Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge stadium to face the Reds Liverpool, the second place in the Premier League and the third place in the Premier League, but both teams have been worried lately.
Blues: Chilwell and Rees James are reimbursed for the season, Lukaku is in trouble with his big mouth, Mendy is about to participate in the European Championship to make the goalkeeper position a hidden danger, and manager Tuchel shells the referee and is warned by the Premier League official.
Reds: Salah, Mane and Keita will participate in the Africa Cup of Nations, the team's attack power will be greatly affected, goalkeeper Alisson, back Fabinho and others have tested positive for the new crown virus, and even manager Klopp has been recruited.
This battle, which should represent the highest level of the Premier League, has become a difficult match, and if Manchester City were to choose a result for this game, it would undoubtedly be hoping that the two teams would play a draw.
So this red and blue war began in such a strange atmosphere.
Although both were remnants, they could not stop the determination of the two teams to win. After the game whistle, there was no temptation or hiding, both teams pulled away and attacked vigorously, and Mane gave Azpilicueta an elbow after the opening, but this standard red card action only received 1 yellow card.
Both teams missed excellent opportunities to break the goal after the opening: Chaloja's header was missed by Mane and sent across the cross, Salah's one-handed shot was saved by Mendy under Rudiger's interference; Arnold's return pass was wrong under Haverts' pressing, Pulisic got the opportunity to face the goalkeeper, but Kelech, who replaced Alisson, bravely cut the ball off Pulisic's feet.
Under high pressure and continuous mistakes, the Blues gradually took control of the initiative of the game with the support of tens of thousands of fans at home. However, Chaloba then put the Blues into a passive position with a devastating break.
The line of Jota's diagonal pass had been blocked by Chaloba, but Chaloba used a swoop-to-ground header to break the siege, resulting in the ball bouncing up and being cut off by Mane, who then crossed the attacking Mendy and fired a powerful shot to break the deadlock. Trailing just nine minutes into the opening, Tuchel's face was unlovable.
Chaloba's abnormality allowed the Red Army to find a breakthrough, and the main direction of the Red Army's attack after that was on the side of The Town of Chaloba. In the 26th minute, Salah received a long pass from Arnold and burst into the penalty area to break through a small angle to make the score 2-0, leaving the entire Stamford Bridge into a deadly silence.
Tuchel is sitting on a needle in a haystack, the players are in a hurry, and a big defeat seems inevitable.
However, the Blues have tough and tenacious DNA flowing in their blood, and it has erupted again under adversity. After 10 minutes of anxiety and chaos, the Blues played their strongest half-time performance.
Kovacic's punch from outside the box ignited Stamford Bridge's enthusiasm. Like a meteor streaking across the night sky, beautiful and stunning, and like the light before dawn, the Blues saw hope.
As soon as the goal was scored, the morale of the Blues was greatly boosted. In half-time, Pulisic received a direct pass from Kante and burst into the box to be volleyed into the goal, rewriting the score to 2-2.
Throughout the first half, the red and blue armies contributed a dazzling goal battle, 4 goals were wonderful, and the needle tip was against Mai Mang, which really made the fans feast their eyes.
At this time, the happiest is undoubtedly Manchester City, if the score is maintained to the end, then Manchester City's lead will be extended to 10 points, even if Guardiola led the team to win the championship by 100 points, the lead in the same period was not so big.
The second half of the game became a performance for Mendy and Kelleher. Mendy saves, Mendy saves Kelleher saves, Kelleher saves Mendy saves... No matter how hard Salah, Jota and Pulisich Mount tried, they just couldn't rewrite the score.
In the end, Chelsea failed to win Liverpool, which was missing Klopp, at Stamford Bridge, Tuchel failed to get 3 points as desired, and Klopp would not be happy, each taking 1 point, better than nothing.
Guardiola must have blossomed in his heart, saying that it was all by his peers, while carrying the Premier League championship trophy into his arms...
