The Stamford Bridge fans stared blankly at the young player who got up to celebrate the goal.

Even if he didn't point to the number on his back, that number eighteen still stung these passionate fans.

It was him in the league, who equalized after being two goals behind, brutally shattering Stamford Bridge's dream and leaving other Premier League fans besides Manchester City in despair.

Today, in the FA Cup, it was this young man again.

He stole the ball and scored right from the start!

No matter how awkward the posture, the arc of the ball was beautiful!

Conte shook his head non-stop. Cesc Fàbregas made a fatal mistake, but he couldn't blame him entirely.

When did this kid become so alert at stealing the ball?

He directly stole the ball from Fàbregas?

He had studied Zhao Gang for a week and was very certain that his one-on-one defensive ability was average. He could provide cover, but in so many games, his number of steals had not exceeded five. He simply couldn't intercept head-on.

How could he suddenly get the hang of it today?

He stole the ball from Fàbregas right away?

Conte had studied for so long and arranged three defensive plans against Zhao Gang.

None of them were specifically aimed at Zhao Gang's defensive steals.

This was really terrible.

If it was just an accident, it would be acceptable.

But if his stealing ability really improved to the point where he could casually take the ball from Fàbregas's feet, then the trouble would be huge.

There weren't many Manchester City fans at the scene, not because they didn't want to come, but because they were given too few tickets.

Now, Manchester City's games, regardless of home or away, have extremely high attendance rates. Even FA Cup and League Cup away games sell out in a short amount of time.

This is because Manchester City's current record is too strong, and the fans are full of passion.

Therefore, the number of fans celebrating at the scene was limited.

But the number of Manchester City fans around the world has increased too much.

Achievements and honors will attract a large number of fans.

Now, Manchester City has relatively few honors, but their results are amazing.

"Fucking awesome!"

"Cool!!"

"I thought Chelsea would go all out in the FA Cup and cause Manchester City a lot of trouble, maybe even eliminate them. How could they get scored on right away??"

"The media hyped this guy, saying Chelsea is the only English team that can stop Manchester City from advancing. But this isn't working!"

"It's just so-so!"

"Yeah, just so-so!!"

The comment "just so-so" has become a slogan for many Manchester City fans because of some media propaganda.

Some black-hearted media forcibly attributed this sentence to Zhao Gang's evaluation of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now, Manchester City fans and Zhao Gang's fans no longer refute it. Instead, they feel that this sentence is full of dominance.

After the celebration ended, Chelsea restarted the game.

Chelsea's players did not become impatient because of this goal.

They had experienced great storms. Being one goal behind was just a process, not the result.

Last time, they were even two goals ahead of Manchester City!

Being one goal behind this time is nothing.

"Chelsea's attacking ability is quite good. The 3-4-3 system is very well-formed. They have a very tacit understanding in the front three, and left and right wing-backs who can constantly deliver shells, so Chelsea is not in a hurry to attack. First, they must do a good job in defense."

Manchester City also doesn't like fast offensive and defensive transitions. They played a Champions League knockout game before, and their physical strength is not as good as Chelsea's. Next, they have a city derby with Manchester United, so maintaining good physical strength is the best.

The pace of the two teams slowed down.

Both teams strive to avoid mistakes in the midfield and backcourt.

When Manchester City regained possession and Zhao Gang got the ball, he didn't rush to attack either.

Chelsea's attacking ability is no worse than Manchester City's.

Once they casually speed up and attack frequently, if Chelsea steals the ball and Manchester City's defense can't keep up, there will definitely be big problems.

Kyle Walker is very active going forward. This is his characteristic. He is solid in defense and can provide very good offensive support. He is the fastest to adapt among the new recruits.

There is also Raheem Sterling on the right, so Zhao Gang tried several times to pass the ball to the right, putting enough pressure on Chelsea's left, so that the midfield wingers could only provide support and could not launch attacks well.

This tactic was quite good. Chelsea's entire left side did not dare to rush out easily.

However, Chelsea's middle and right sides were still active enough.

In particular, some coordination errors always occur with Manchester City's Sané.

Fàbregas, holding his breath, cooperated with Matić to directly steal the ball from Sané in the midfield.

Sané was anxious and reached out to pull, but still failed to stop Fàbregas.

Putting aside his character, Fàbregas's individual ability is still quite outstanding.

When Zhao Gang was preparing to cover, Fàbregas, amidst Conte's roar, gave up the idea of entanglement with Zhao Gang and passed the ball to Pedro.

As soon as Zhao Gang saw that Fàbregas had passed the ball, instead of getting angry with him and insisting on getting past him, he knew there was going to be big trouble.

Once Fàbregas chooses to selflessly cooperate with his teammates, this guy's threat is still very great.

He grew up in Arsenal under Wenger's guidance.

Pedro, a product of Barcelona, is a powerful defender who can also score goals.

Even Real Madrid's defense is difficult to contain him, let alone Manchester City?

Fernandinho, a single defensive midfielder, cooperated with Kolarov to try to intercept.

Pedro rushed into the defensive crowd. After the two sides were entangled together and attracted the defense, he still knocked the ball out!

The London ball king, Hazard, received the ball and launched a new round of impact on Manchester City's defense.

Hazard has a low center of gravity and a fast dribbling frequency. He and Zhao Gang have a common point, that is, during the dribbling process, they have an extremely concealed pass or shot.

And his long-range shooting ability is very outstanding.

It is difficult for defenders to judge his next action.

Kyle Walker's physique and speed are indeed not comparable to Zabaleta's. He quickly moved laterally to cover the center, directly locking Hazard's shooting route and resisting his breakthrough route.

After Hazard stopped suddenly, he moved quickly laterally. Walker followed his footsteps, tightly revealing a tiny route.

Shooting from this route is not an opportunity.

But Hazard is not only strong in shooting breakthroughs, but his passing is also one of the best in Chelsea.

Otherwise, how could Real Madrid take a fancy to him?

Hazard passed the ball with one foot. The ball passed Kyle Walker's toes and reached Costa's feet through the gap!

One of Costa's characteristics is his very strong ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal!

He didn't even stop the ball and directly swept it in with one foot!

Bravo, who performed unstably in the league, doesn't seem to be doing well in the FA Cup either.

He tried his best to fly out. The direction was right, but the height was not enough. The football smashed into the upper corner!

"Costa! Goal!!"

"In the 15th minute of the game, Chelsea pulled back a goal! Sané's mistake, Fàbregas's successful steal, Pedro's pass, Hazard's assist after the breakthrough, Costa scored in one go!

Chelsea's counterattack was smooth and flowing!"

A heart-stirring cheer erupted from Stamford Bridge. Diego Costa rushed out of the stadium to celebrate with all the Chelsea fans.

"Chelsea, as expected, is the only Premier League team that can tie Manchester City this season. There will be a good show in this round of the FA Cup!"

With Chelsea's current competitive state, the two rounds of the FA Cup, home and away, will indeed be a feast for the fans!
