Chapter 393 This Chelsea Is Not Easy to Play

Compared with the Premier League 'big' coaches such as Mourinho, Ferguson, and Wansheng, Grant, who has just arrived, is indeed a bit honest. He doesn't know how to deal with saliva attacks in the media, but he knows that he is fighting saliva with Wansheng. Not cheap at all.

So Grant simply stopped talking.

He was pumped up to prepare for the game, intending to compete with Manchester City on the field.

Grant not only worked hard on his own, but the club also hired assistants for him. The arrival of Dutchman Ten Carter also significantly improved the quality of Chelsea's training.

Long before Ten Carter officially entered Stamford Bridge, his former disciple, Liverpool striker Babel, predicted that Chelsea players would definitely encounter "devil training". As Babel said, Ten Carter was very uncomfortable in the training process. Approachable.

When a Chelsea player is not serious in training, or jokes with each other, he will be reprimanded by him, and he also stressed that no player is allowed to disrupt the serious atmosphere of the training process.

This move caused a huge controversy in the British media, and many people began to question Ten Carter's training methods.

But there is no doubt that since Ten Carter joined, Chelsea has not only improved significantly in terms of record, but also the team's offense has become more and more gorgeous. They have won four consecutive victories in the league and the Champions League.

"British Football News" commented, "A tolerant and steady head coach, coupled with an assistant coach who strictly enforces the law, will have a positive chemical reaction in Chelsea's coaching bench, helping Chelsea to move on a more correct path. ... Maybe when the whole season is over, people will applaud the spectacle of the 'Golden Partner'."

With the help of Ten Carter, Grant no longer has to worry about training problems. He only needs to figure out how to deal with Manchester City, and improve the team's fighting spirit, so that the team can play better in the game against Manchester City. But maybe he doesn't need him to boost morale. There is no Chelsea player who doesn't want the team to win against Manchester City.

Chelsea had never beaten Manchester City in an official match in the previous two years, after Wan Sheng took over. Manchester City are also Chelsea's biggest league rivals. If it weren't for Manchester City, they would have won at least two more titles, but it's a pity they haven't competed against Manchester City.

Now against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, every Chelsea player is in high spirits.

————

Manchester City are also trying their best to prepare for the game.

Every Manchester City player hopes to keep the team unbeaten, but Wansheng always has only one goal for the team, and that is to win.

"I don't want any of you thinking, 'Just a draw and that's okay'. I can't take it. The team can't take it!"

After the last day of training, after gathering all the players, Wan Sheng said seriously, "None of you should think about this. The outside world said that we will tie Arsenal's unbeaten record, but we should think about the league more. The game is a good opportunity for us to widen the gap in points, and then. Maybe we only need to consider Manchester United, as I said earlier. The league is the foundation, and our focus of each season should be on the league. As for the league. Unbeaten is not what you should think. Our goal is to win three points at Stamford Bridge!"

In fact, Wansheng is a little worried about the mentality of the players. There are still many voices optimistic about the team from the outside media. This is also one aspect of his worry, because he knows that Chelsea will definitely not be willing to bow down at their own home.

Now Chelsea doesn't know how much they hope to beat Manchester City, and Grant doesn't know how much he hopes to beat himself to prove his coaching level. He doesn't want himself and Manchester City to become a stepping stone for others to fight for glory.

So the team must be careful and must not give the opponent any chance!

In terms of the game, Wansheng emphasized, "We can't have any slack in the 90 minutes of the game. If we lead by one goal, we must immediately try to score again and lead more goals. Don't think that we are leading. Now, you must always have a 'behind' mentality, and you must think 'we can make more', only in this way can we guarantee the final victory!"

"Maybe we have won Chelsea many times, but Grant is a capable manager and Chelsea are not easy opponents to deal with. If they play tough and decisive, we have to pay attention to the defense..."

Next, Wansheng talked about some coping strategies for the game.

Although the tactical play has been arranged, there will always be many unexpected possibilities in the game. He must tell him how to deal with it so that the players will not panic. As long as they can play stably, he believes that the team There is still a good chance of winning.

————

Wan Sheng said a lot before the game, but he didn't expect what he was worried about to become a reality during the game.

Chelsea played very tough and the counterattack was very targeted. At the same time, all Chelsea players, relying on their home advantage, played very well.

Some things can be seen from the score.

After 30 minutes of the game, the scoreboard at Stamford Bridge showed the number '3:2'.

In the audience, there were fans talking everywhere, making the scene noisy. Everyone was a little unbelievable about the game on the field, because they didn't expect to see a wonderful match.

In the first 30 minutes, both teams played a very strong offensive ability!

Chelsea counterattacked twice, advancing once, and scored three goals; Manchester City advanced once, and scored two goals from a free kick.

3:2! !

Chelsea and Manchester City scored five goals in just the first thirty minutes.

There was an uproar in the media booth, and no one would have thought that in the battle between Chelsea and Manchester City, five goals could be scored in the first 30 minutes alone.

Five goals!

In the duel between the top teams in Europe, one goal in 30 minutes is a bit too much, but in this battle at Stamford Bridge, there have been five goals.

Five goals, all wonderful!

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba took advantage of a quick counter-attack to break through Manchester City's defense, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei and accurately hoisted the ball into Manchester City's goal.

In the 7th minute of the game, "Mr. Warcraft" helped Chelsea take the lead.

After that, Manchester City made five consecutive passes in front of the Chelsea penalty area. Torres, who started the game, pushed the ball into the goal and helped Manchester City equalize the score.

Just when everyone thought that the two teams were going to maintain a tie for a long time, just three minutes later, Chelsea took advantage of the corner kick and Drogba sent the ball to Lampard's feet. The latter shot from outside the penalty area to help Chelsea score again. Score.

After Chelsea took the lead again, Manchester City continued to besiege Chelsea at halftime, but Chelsea completed a steal in the midfield. Ferreira forcibly broke through from the left and then knocked horizontally. Kalu’s first shot in front of the penalty area was blocked. Another shot in the penalty area was blocked by Wang Xiaolei, and Drogba followed up with a third shot and sent the ball into the net.

Drogba scored twice!

"3:1! 3:1!"

"Drogba helped Chelsea open the score gap!"

"This is Drogba's 7th goal this season, 5 in the league and 1 in the Champions League. Drogba has shown amazing efficiency after recovering from injury!!"

Chelsea fans were extremely excited after Drogba scored, and Chelsea kept celebrating on the pitch. Every player felt that the game was won.

3:1 Ah!

They don't know how long it has been since they were so ahead of Manchester City.

But not long after the restart of the game, Carvalho fouled Maurice in front of the penalty area, and Ivan Crewe used a direct free kick to help Manchester City recover a goal.

3:2!

Manchester City's quick goal also told everyone that the game has only just begun, 3:2, the two teams scored a total of five goals, but in fact, the game only went on for 30 minutes.

When Ivan Crewe finished the goal, Manchester City was supposed to celebrate the goal, but Manchester City was still behind the score, and no players were in the mood to celebrate. They quickly took the ball back to the center circle and prepared to kick off again.

By this time, Wan Sheng saw the strength of Chelsea, but also saw some problems.

In this game, Wansheng has lined up five midfielders.

The three in the middle are Ozil, Maurice and David Silva. This is the best technical midfield combination that Manchester City can come up with.

But so far, the combination of the three has not played a big role.

In addition to being more flexible in coordination and more exciting in passing and receiving the ball, under Chelsea's strong midfield defense, it is difficult for Manchester City to find opportunities in the frontcourt.

This is not the key question yet.

The reason why Chelsea can score consecutive goals is also related to the team's defense. The team currently has three midfielders, and only Maurice often retreats. Silva and Ozil are not the kind of midfielders who often retreat. In the field, it can be said that the team's midfield defense is a bit weak. In comparison, Chelsea's midfield composed of Essien and Lampard is much stronger.

Of course, the game is played like this, and it is also related to Chelsea's performance.

Their performance is simply too good!

The strength of this Chelsea team is strong in itself, and it cooperates with tactics suitable for the match with Manchester City. In addition, they are at home. They fight against Manchester City, and they are not at a disadvantage.

Manchester City also has an advantage, and that is technical strength.

In the first 30 minutes, it was obvious that Manchester City played more smoothly, and also achieved a situational suppression. Overall, Manchester City still has a greater advantage, but it is useless to have a situational advantage alone. The important thing is to score goals.

Wansheng has seen many problems in the past games.

If the game continues like this, with the advantage of technical strength, he believes that the team also has a chance to win, but the exact number of opportunities is uncertain, especially the key is that if Chelsea scores another goal, the team's fighting spirit will be greatly affected. , then the game will be quite difficult to play.

Still have to pay more attention to the defense!

So taking advantage of the opportunity, Wan Sheng hurriedly called Morris and told him to pay attention to defense, "...the formation is also pushed back, it doesn't matter if we are behind, we can catch up in the second half, but we must not give them another chance. !" (To be continued~^~)
