Chapter 174 Strong Victory!

Before the game, the media were unanimously optimistic about Chelsea, and even the Manchester City media were a little pessimistic about the outcome of the game.

The media and fans are different.

Many fans just support the team blindly. They don't care about the lineup, tactics, historical background and other things. Support is support. Last season when Manchester City won the league title, they have more and more confidence in the team, and they think the team is the Premier League. The top teams are fully capable of competing with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams.

But even if the media supports the team, they still need reasons to convince themselves and their fans to have confidence in the team and analyze the team’s actions to show whether the team’s strength has grown. However, comparing the lineups of Manchester City and Chelsea, the gap is It's a bit big. In addition, the most influential thing is the summer transfer.

Chelsea's two big shots, the joining of Ballack and Shevchenko, are transfer news that shocked the world football world. Coupled with the addition of tens of millions of young stars such as Kalu and Mikel, Chelsea's momentum is even more impressive. Ruhong, it must be admitted that Chelsea's lineup has reached the world's top level. After all, the investment of 100 million euros is not a casual talk. This money is even enough to buy an ordinary Premier League team.

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is the champion coach. He once led Porto to the treble, and his coaching ability is certain. In this respect, he is at least not weaker than Wansheng. Compared, the advantage is too great, plus this game is played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea rely on home advantage, how can they not lose to Manchester City?

This is the analysis of the media before the game.

The London media simply said 'Chelsea must win', and the Manchester media also lamented that 'the game is not easy to play'. But look at it now, at the end of the game, Chelsea is actually two goals behind... unimaginable!

It's unbelievable! !

Chelsea's situation is even more "miserable" than when the two teams met last season.

Looking back on last season, Manchester City and Chelsea played against each other, although Manchester City had the upper hand with 1 win and 1 draw. But the two games were very difficult, and even Chelsea took the initiative for a long time. Manchester City definitely had luck in winning.

Now this game can see that Manchester City and Chelsea are evenly divided on the scene, and Manchester City has also achieved some advantages. in the ability to seize opportunities. Manchester City also have the upper hand. So City scored two goals and Chelsea didn't score one.

When the two teams played against each other, Manchester City did not lose at all, so winning is not luck, but real strength.

To sum up, it is the current Manchester City, with no weaker than Chelsea's strength!

This conclusion is hard to believe.

Compare the Manchester City and Chelsea lineups. The gap is still quite large.

Manchester City's most expensive and famous player. It's just Anelka, maybe I can add a Morris now, and the other players are just ordinary. Even David Silva has only entered the top league for one season, and the time is too short. I haven't experienced a transfer, other players, such as Ziegler, Ivan Crewe, and newcomers Ozil and Boateng. They were all excavated by Wansheng, similar to David Silva. Perhaps only by the end of this season, their outstanding performance will have a sharp rise in value. Others like Dunn, Joey Barton and others are old Manchester City players. Their strength is on the bright side. , there is nothing special to say, but in any case, compared to Chelsea's gorgeous lineup, Manchester City is nothing.

But now that the Manchester City team is cheering for the goal and celebrating for a two-goal lead, Chelsea's stars can only stare blankly, they can't imagine the game will turn out like this.

Before the game, they thought it would be a chance to prove Chelsea's strength, but now they are two goals behind at home.

This score is unacceptable to them.

So when the game continued, Chelsea's players seemed very impatient. Several players in the frontcourt seemed to be fighting alone. Let the whole team press forward, and send another striker, Mikel, this is the Nigerian teenager Chelsea introduced in the summer, and they even spent 16 million pounds for this.

So Chelsea has changed from 442 to 433 again. Coupled with Joe Cole, who is almost at the forefront of the formation, it can be said that Chelsea has now become a four striker on the field.

Mourinho hopes to use a few strikers to spell the last chance!

Kalu, who played before, and Mikel, who just played, are both working hard. For both of them, this is a very good opportunity.

They are excited to join Chelsea, but they also know that the competition in Chelsea will be difficult, whether it is Shevchenko, Didier Drogba in the front, Lampard, Ballack in the midfield, or even Ronaldo in the wing. Ben and Joe Cole are quite famous stars, and it is not easy for them to have a place in Chelsea.

Now is the opportunity.

Chelsea are two goals behind. In this case, if the two can score goals, they will definitely get a different view from the head coach Mourinho, and the playing time will definitely increase in the future.

The only thing is that it is not easy for them to perform well.

This has nothing to do with adapting to the team and teammates' coordination. It's entirely because Chelsea played in a mess as a whole. It was difficult for them to receive a pass. Even if they received a pass, it was difficult to deal with Manchester City's defense alone.

They have already sensed the difficulty of Manchester City's defense.

The most obvious of the two is Kalu. He is a standard striker. He has been playing in the Dutch league before. , swept the tulip country.

Kalu was prepared for the defense of the Premier League, but he didn't expect that his first appearance would be so difficult. Whenever he ran to the front, there was always a player who came to defend closely. This is a Portuguese central defender, and his name seems to be Koppelle? He's not so sure, the only sure thing is that this guy's defense is really good.

Off the court before, when Kalu saw Shevchenko being prevented by this guy again and again, he just thought that Shevchenko was not in good shape, but now he knows why Shevchenko played so hard.

This Portuguese defender has excellent physical fitness. He is tall and strong, and he can't be squeezed at all. This kind of tough defense. It's really tough, and more importantly, this guy's one-on-one defensive skills are pretty good, as long as he doesn't pay attention, the football will be taken away. in addition. The opponent's bounce is very good, and the defense of the high-altitude ball is quite good.

Kalu felt helpless and had to admit that it was difficult for him to break through Koppelle Ferreira's defense alone.

So he began to seek the cooperation of his teammates.

But now Chelsea's offense is chaotic, and it's good that teammates can pass the ball in an orderly manner. in addition. Chelsea's style of play is inherently tough and direct, and it is very difficult to play as deft attack as the Dutch team.

Kalu didn't get a chance at all in front, and he was completely caught in the defensive quagmire of Manchester City.

At the same time, Drogba on the other side was not much better.

He is more experienced than Kalu, is more adaptable to the Premier League, and cooperates better with his teammates. In addition, his personal ability is better than Kalu, and he has many advantages... But Manchester City also defends him. Tighter!

Kalu has to face one defender, Drogba has to face two. One of them must be Dunn, who is an old Manchester City player. He has been playing for Manchester City since 2000, and has always been the main defender. Two years ago, Dunn was even the core of the defense. When it comes to the most stable and outstanding central defender in the Premier League, Dunn can definitely rank in the front. Fifth, facing this kind of defense by a central defender, even Drogba has a headache.

Compared with Kalu, Drogba got fewer opportunities. At this time, he missed the two teammates who left.

Good Johnson and Damien Duff...

Good-Johnson and Drogba are rivals, but when the two play together, Johnson will take the initiative to do some 'blue-collar' work, such as helping Drogba attract defenses, or have the opportunity to pass a good pass; Dami En Duff is a full-back, but he rarely dribbles the ball by himself and prefers to cooperate with his teammates. He was not outstanding in Chelsea's game, but he gave Drogba a little bit of support.

Now these two good teammates have left, and the rest...Joe Cole and Robben both like to dribble the ball themselves, even cut in the middle, or just hit a big foot on the wing, Kalu , Mikel are all rookies, there is no need to talk about cooperation, Lampard, Ballack, they have a chance outside the penalty area to shoot directly, they don't need to pass the ball at all, the key is, they do this When the time comes, other people will take it for granted that they are the top stars in the world, more famous than they are.

Drogba felt helpless, he was still more depressed than Kalu.

He suddenly envied Anelka.

Drogba thinks he is no weaker than Anelka, but he doesn't get as much support as Anelka did at Manchester City.

Manchester City's lineup is not as good as Chelsea's, but Anelka is Manchester City's stable main striker. Behind him is David Silva, Maurice, and Ivan Crewe and Downing on the flank. The players are all very good, and they are all good at cooperating with teammates. It is no wonder that Anelka can compete with Henry for the top scorer position even if he is injured for two months.

And Drogba ... last season's goals almost missed Lampard.

That's the difference between teams.

......

Most of Chelsea's team pressed Manchester City to attack, but they did not find very good opportunities, and it was difficult to threaten the goal with occasional shots.

Wan Sheng looked at the team's defense and was very satisfied.

Manchester City is playing offensive football, but the basis of this tactic is actually defense. In preparation for the game, the team puts more emphasis on defense than offense. For example, when they are under pressure from Chelsea, the team's formation also changes. No mess, every player knows what needs to be done.

In contrast, the attacking Chelsea is a mess.

If they played more systematically, they would definitely be a threat to Manchester City, or even score a direct goal, but Chelsea has panicked, they are two goals behind, and they are too eager to score, this mentality is definitely impossible to play 100% powerful.

Wansheng did not feel complacent because of this. In the memory of his previous life, Chelsea was indeed a bit chaotic this season. Maybe it was because of winning the league championship for two consecutive seasons, and the team's fighting spirit was affected. Maybe it was also because of Shevchenko, The arrival of players such as Ballack has made half of Chelsea's lineup undergo a major change. It may also be that there is a conflict between club president Roman Abramovich and head coach Mourinho. In short, for whatever reason, Chelsea have not performed well this season, and they have not been able to win the league title in the end.

then. That is the memory of the past life. He's had a big impact here. Chelsea didn't win the league, so it's hard to say this season.

But one other team back at the top of the Premier League is for sure, and that is Manchester United.

After a series of acquisition storms, Manchester United has stabilized. After Ruud van Nistelrooy and Keane left, the team has no internal problems. So they started to unite. Try to get better results.

A Manchester United that has no internal contradictions and is going all out under the leadership of Ferguson is terrible, especially Manchester United and Manchester City are still mortal enemies. Wansheng can already imagine what kind of competition the team will face this season, so win now. Chelsea, in fact, has only just begun.

In addition, the team has the Champions League.

Champions League...

That is what Wansheng is most looking forward to. Since coaching, he has not led the team to the Champions League. That is the top stage for European clubs, where he will also meet top opponents in other leagues, think about AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, etc. These opponents are really exciting!

......

In the last 10 minutes of the game, Chelsea had completely given up hope of victory. They continued to attack in order to score a goal. They were unwilling to be defeated 0:2, and they always wanted to score.

But Manchester City's defense is very tight. The most deadly thing is that when Chelsea's attack is too high, Manchester City can easily launch a threatening quick counterattack, which makes Chelsea's backcourt panic every time.

So the third goal came.

This is in the 85th minute of the game. Maurice made a direct pass to Anelka. Anelka dashed forward with the ball. The speed was very fast. Terry started a little slower and could not stop it at all. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Cech, Erka calmly swayed away with a fake, and immediately pushed the ball into the net.

0:3!

This goal killed all hope for Chelsea!

"0:3! 0:3! Anelka helped Manchester City score the third goal! It is also his second goal in the game, scoring twice!"

"The French striker did a great job in the game, he was very calm against Cech!"

"The game ended early! Congrats to Manchester City!"

"0-3 at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea haven't lost so badly since 2004... You know, this is a home game, three goals scored, I can't imagine it! Some Chelsea in the stands The fans have left early and you can see they are very disappointed with the game..."

"Maybe Mourinho should reflect after the game, why did he have so many superstars, but he failed to break Manchester City's goal in 90 minutes, but was instead scored three goals by Manchester City?"

"..."

Wansheng began to make substitutions.

To play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge is a good opportunity for some young players to gain experience.

He first replaced the 'hero' Anelka who had just scored a goal. Anelka came off the field in excitement and received unanimous cheers from all Manchester City fans. Even some neutral fans and the media also supported Anelka. Send applause, this game, Anelka's performance is really very good.

Subsequently, Wansheng replaced Maurice and let Ozil adapt to the game.

"This is a German teenager introduced by Manchester City in the summer. He previously played for Schalke 04. He only had a record of appearances and performed well, but he can be picked up by Wansheng and brought to Manchester City, which is enough to show his potential. Maybe we It's time to look forward to the growth of the German teenager..."

Many Manchester City fans also sent their blessings to Ozil.

Ozil was a little excited when he played for the first time. Although he was a bit precocious compared to his peers, his appearance in the first round of the Premier League's most watched league game still made him very excited. He even felt his legs tremble again.

At this time, Wan Sheng patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Just get used to the game, don't be nervous."

Ozil nodded sharply.

Then he hugged Morris, who was walking off the court, and walked onto the court.

Wansheng didn't expect much from Ozil, he just wanted him to play to get used to the atmosphere, but what Wansheng didn't expect was that Ozil still performed in the last few minutes.

It was a possession. Ozil passed Lampard a dozen meters before the penalty area, then made a direct pass to the left corner of the penalty area, creating a good opportunity. Unfortunately, Tangning who followed behind didn't react and was unable to catch the ball. Live a chance.

Seeing this extraordinary performance, Wan Sheng couldn't help sighing on the sidelines, "It's really a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers..."

If the average young player is facing Lampard, he will definitely be very nervous. Who would have thought that Ozil would dare to use technology to deceive Lampard? It is estimated that Lampard himself could not think of it, so he was directly shaken away.

Originally, he did not perform well in the game, the team lost a big score, and the 'rival' Morris performed outstandingly. These are enough to make him depressed. Now he has been deceived by a young player from Manchester City. Lampard His fists were clenched fiercely.

If it weren't for his professionalism, he didn't even know if he could hold back and not do something.

But in the end, Lampard still watched the referee blow the whistle, and then the game came to an end with his disappointed eyes.

0:3.

Manchester City won the first round of the league and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! (To be continued ~^~)
