Football: The king of midfield, Guardiola is crying with envy

Chapter 230

Next to goalkeeper Fernandez was Ivan Toni, who gave Chen Chen a big hug.

In the end, because the hug took too long, Ivan Toni had to let go of Chen Chen.

Then came Matthias Jensen, Baptiste, Rollslev, Pinnock, Jansson, and others.

As for Fosu Henry, Rico Henry, and da Silva?

They were unlucky. They had to sit on the injury bench when Chen Chen was there, and now that Chen Chen has returned to Brentford as an opponent, they are also sitting on the injury bench. . .

This is also the reason why Brentford's recent performance is so average. No matter how strong Frank is, he can't beat his opponent with a broken formation.

After high-fiving his old friends on the field, Chen Chen trotted to the sidelines and gave Frank a big hug!

Finally, Chen Chen went deep into the Brentford bench and high-fived Canos, Gudos, and Forsh.

Finally, Chen Chen stepped onto the court amid the cheers and applause of the Little Bees fans behind the bench.

In fact, Chen Chen had already shaken hands with many people in the player tunnel just now.

Frank also talked to Chen Chen for a long time before walking out of the player tunnel.

A talented enough player will make the head coach who has trained and taught him proud, such as Guardiola and Messi, Sir Alex Ferguson and Ronaldo, Chen Chen and Frank!

Frank wished Chen Chen better and better results in the future. At the same time, he also made it clear that Brentford will always be Chen Chen's home!

He is always welcome!

On the court, after Chen Chen finished greeting this and that, Ivan Toni, who was closer to Chen Chen, took the initiative to wave and asked Chen Chen to come over.

It turned out that the Little Bees players on the court had a sudden idea, and they decided to pull Chen Chen over to take a photo together!

So a very interesting scene on the court appeared!

Chen Chen was pulled into their lineup by Ivan and Pinno, and took several very interesting pre-match photos!

Afterwards, Chen Chen returned to Manchester City without stopping and took a pre-match photo with his current teammates.

Seeing this scene, the Brentford fans at the scene said, "My eyes are filled with tears, my youth is over!"

Soon, both sides were ready and waiting for the referee's order.

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu in the stands recovered from the warmth, and Zhan Jun immediately introduced the starting lineups of both sides to the audience in front of the screen!

"Today, the visiting team Manchester City lined up in a 433 formation."

"When a lion fights a rabbit, it also needs to go all out! Guardiola chose to play with all the main players!"

"Three forwards, Grealish, Jesus and Mahrez."

"Three midfielders, Chen Chen, Fernandinho and De Bruyne!"

"Four defenders, Ake on the left, Ruben Dias and Stones who has recovered from injury in the middle, and Cancelo on the right."

"Goalkeeper, Ederson."

"Although the Blue Moon has made a certain amount of rotation in the past two weeks, the team has inevitably encountered a wave of injuries."

"Laporte and Rodri continue to be absent, and Walker has been absent for a long time. As for Foden and Zinchenko? They are receiving further diagnosis and treatment!"

"Of course, compared to Brentford, Manchester City's injury situation is better. Because Frank's team has as many as ten players who can't play!"

"Brentford can't even put together a complete 23-man roster!"

"Here, we also sincerely hope that the players can stay away from injuries! Return to the game as soon as possible!"

"Today Frank arranged a 352 formation, and the front is..."

"Okay! The starting players of both sides have been introduced to you."

"Is Chen Chen's "homecoming journey" smooth today? Let's follow the broadcast camera to explore the Brentford Community Stadium and appreciate the charm of this game!"

On the court, with the whistle of the referee Kurt, the game officially began.

Chen Chen's status in the hearts of Brentford fans is definitely beyond doubt, the kind of top-notch.

But he is now an opponent, so when the warmth and gratitude before the game fade away, the fans will naturally no longer support him.

The 3rd minute.

A quick attack opportunity for Manchester City.

After receiving the ball, Fernandez crossed the half court and then kicked it to Grealish on the left.

Shaker did not choose to force the ball down the field, but passed it back to Chen Chen who was standing behind him on the right.

As soon as Chen Chen got the ball, the hearts of the Brentford fans at the scene were clenched.

There was no way, they were really afraid that Chen Chen would catch the ball!

Seeing Chen Chen get the ball, Frank on the sidelines quickly waved to the upper man to intercept.

Frank didn't know if this would work, but the upper man was definitely not as good as it could be, at least it would be difficult for Chen Chen to break through.

ChenChen did not entangle with Visa and Baptiste. He lowered his shoulder and faked a move. Then he dribbled the ball faster, passed the defenders in two or three steps, and finally sent a straight pass!

Grealish in the penalty area received the ball and pushed it into the goal!

However, because of offside, the goal was called.

Grealish, who lost a good opportunity, gave Chen Chen a thumbs up and then walked back slowly.

9th minute.

Brentford lost the ball!

Frank's 541 formation can be defended for a while, but not forever!

Chen Chen dribbled the ball forward diagonally and chose to use the outside of his right foot to pass the ball. Mahrez on the right side got the ball smoothly!

Then the polo king dribbled into the penalty area. After deceiving the left center back Mas Sorensen's back-handed step-over interception, the polo king gently pushed the ball forward, pulled away and raised his leg to aim at the far end!

Manchester City 1-0!

Benham in the box spread his hands when he saw this.

To be honest, he really regretted selling Chen Chen now.

Mahrez, who scored the first goal for the team, ran to the corner flag area to celebrate!

Chen Chen, who got an assist, did not follow to celebrate, out of respect for his old club.

Not long after returning to the center circle and kicking off, Brentford lost the ball again!

11th minute of the game.

Because of a mistake made by the opponent when passing the ball, Manchester City got the ball, and the high pressure of the Blue Moon instantly turned into a quick counterattack!

Soon the ball came to Chen Chen's feet!

Chen Chen calmly passed Matthias Jensen who came up to try to stretch his legs to steal the ball, and faced the team captain and central defender Jansson!

Chen Chen slowly dribbled the ball closer to Jansson.

Not long after, Chen Chen first made a breakthrough to the left.

This action was very confusing, because Grealish had already flanked on the left and Jesus had also stood still.

Chen Chen could choose to do it himself or pass it to his teammates.

In this case, Yangsong did not choose to step forward and stretch his legs rashly, but followed Chen Chen's steps step by step.

Yangsong could not judge Chen Chen's choice, so he simply remained unchanged.

Chen Chen saw that Yangsong was not fooled, so he quickly pulled the ball back and turned to the right.

Just when Yangsong thought that Chen Chen was going to repeat the trick, Chen Chen suddenly passed the ball to his left foot, pushed it out a little, swung his left leg, and kicked it out directly!

Chen Chen decisively chose to shoot!

There was no difference from Mahrez's shooting choice just now!

Yangsong saw this and quickly stepped behind his back to block it!

Because he was too focused on stretching his legs to intercept, Yangsong was not careful at his feet, he failed to keep his balance, and fell backwards like a big split.

Before falling, Yangsong glanced in the direction of the goal.

Fernandez failed to catch the ball, and the ball crossed the goal line and made close contact with the net!

"No mercy!"

"Facing the old club, Chen Chen scored a goal! The score was rewritten to 2-0!"

"It is difficult to resist without a few soldiers, Brentford will suffer another defeat!"

On the court, Chen Chen, who scored a goal, raised his left hand and put his right hand on his chest. Facing his old club, he did not choose to celebrate!

Chen Chen's loyalty and righteousness also won the applause of the Little Bees fans at the scene!

Not long after, Chen Chen put his hand down.

He bent down and pulled up Jansson who was doing a split in front of him.

Jansson smiled bitterly and said,

"Chen! Your skills are much better now than before!"

"You are old, captain!"

With the captain, Jansson laughed even happier! The pain of splitting and splitting felt a little lighter!

The Swede stood up with the help of Chen Chen, and then the two walked shoulder to shoulder to the center circle.

Ever since Chen Chen raised his hand to indicate that he would not celebrate, the applause in the Brentford stadium has never stopped!

Finally, when Chen Chen stood in the center circle, the applause finally calmed down!
