Chapter 394 Volley!
Morris is the captain of Manchester City, the core of Manchester City, the player with the strongest technical strength, his leadership ability on the field is very strong, everyone in the team admires Morris, they will follow Morris's command to play .
Morris also has the most tacit understanding with Wan Sheng.
When Wan Sheng explained something, Morris was able to understand it, and quickly passed the news to his teammates, so that everyone on the court would know.
Therefore, after admonishing Morris, Wan Sheng breathed a little, but the exhortation alone can only give the players the concept of 'more defense'. Must do something else.
Substitution.
It was not a wise choice to make substitutions in the last ten minutes of the first half, but after seeing Chelsea scoring consecutively, Wansheng also knew that the team had to strengthen their defense.
How to replace is the key question.
In this game, Manchester City lined up a 352 formation, which is to control and attack. Since Torres joined, Manchester City has been adapting to this formation. When the game is more targeted, Manchester City's offensive ability is guaranteed enough. The defensive ability is not bad. Generally, it is not easy for a team to break through Manchester City's midfield line and impact the back line.
But Chelsea are clearly not among the 'normal teams'.
Chelsea's overall strength is too strong. If you don't count the bonus of coaching skills, if you only talk about the player's own ability, Manchester City still has a little gap with Chelsea.
Chelsea's advantage is that most of their players are both physical and technical. Although Manchester City is not afraid of fighting, not afraid of physical collisions, such as Torres, Silva, Ozil, and even Maurice, Ivan K. Lu and others are better at technology, and their football is very flexible. This is also the reason why Manchester City can play 'the most gorgeous attacking football in the Premier League'.
Chelsea's overall strength is strong, coupled with their good performance in this game, they pose a great threat to Manchester City's defense.
3:2.
It can be seen from the previous games that Manchester City's offense is actually good, and the first half has not yet passed. There will be two goals. Stats are pretty good, but it's a pity Chelsea scored more goals.
Therefore, the top priority is to strengthen the defense, and substitutions must also be considered in this regard.
Who will be replaced?
Wan Sheng looked at the arena, and after thinking for a while, finally chose to replace Torres.
Torres is the top striker and has also helped the team score a goal before. But since the first goal. Chelsea guarded Torres closely. He hardly ever had the chance to touch the ball a few times. Now Torres has become the 'least useful' player in the team because he stood at the front and was defended very hard by Chelsea.
In fact, Darren Bent also encountered a tight defense, but Darren Bent was more flexible and occasionally received passes. Cooperate with the midfield a few times.
Wan Sheng decided to notify the fourth official to prepare for a substitution.
Soon the fourth official raised the substitution card. Manchester City chose substitutions - Elano Blumer on, Torres off.
————
Manchester City made a substitution in the 39th minute. At this point in time, almost no one would have thought that Manchester City would choose to make a substitution.
"Attention! Manchester City is going to make a substitution!"
"It was Elano Brumer, who joined Manchester City in the summer and came from Shakhtar Donetsk. Before that, Brumer was a little unknown at Shakhtar Donetsk, but in fact, he was A Brazil international, he was selected for the Brazilian national team two years ago with his stable performance and good strength."
"Then let's see, what he replaced is..."
"Torres???"
"Torres!!!"
"Wansheng replaced Torres with Brommer. It's unbelievable. Torres was replaced. He helped Manchester City score the first goal. In addition, we believe that as long as the Spanish golden boy is on the field, it is against the opponent. A shock, Wan Sheng actually replaced him..."
From the commentator's tone, he could also hear that he was very confused about Manchester City's substitution, because no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Torres should not be replaced.
However, Manchester's media commentary did not see it that way. "Brummer replaced Torres. This substitution adjustment is expected. After Torres scored, he has not performed very well. He stood at the front, it is difficult to have a big effect."
"Wansheng obviously intends to strengthen the defense, and replacing Torres is a good choice..."
on the playing field.
Torres was a little stunned when he realized that he was substituted. He felt that his performance was not bad, and he also helped the team score a goal. He didn't expect to be substituted before the first half?
He was a little confused.
Wansheng greeted the past, he couldn't let the players have a pimple, so when Torres came off, he gave Torres a hug and said in his ear, "Fernando, your performance is great, but the tactical adjustment needs you to come down. , can you understand?"
Torres was a little dazed, but nodded anyway.
In any case, it is enough that the head coach chooses to replace himself because he is not dissatisfied with himself. As for whether it is a tactical requirement, you will know if you continue to watch the game.

After Manchester City made a substitution, the game continued.
With Elano Blumer on the field, Manchester City's defensive hardness has increased significantly.
In the previous 352 formation, there was only one central defender, Koppelle Ferreira. After making substitution adjustments, Elano Blumer played more time in the backcourt, and the team formation was similar to the 451. , which is equivalent to adding a central defender to the defense.
After the defense in the middle is stable, Manchester City has also played a lot more stable. Chelsea will not be so easy if they want to advance or use counterattacks to find opportunities.
After the two sides attacked each other a few times, Chelsea also found the problem, but they didn't care much because they were the leading side.
However, they also did not notice that after Torres came off, Manchester City did not lose offensive ability!
Manchester City used to be the fifth midfielder, and now it is still the fifth midfielder. Torres is on the field and is the front stance striker, and his contribution to the attack is not as big as imagined, so in fact, Manchester City's offensive ability has not been reduced much. It even makes people feel that Manchester City's offense is more orderly and the threat is greater.
Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, frowning slightly.
He also found this problem.
But soon after watching a wave of offenses, he had a sudden realization. The main problem is that there are too many players with strong technical strength in the team's frontcourt!
Torres, Darren Bent, Maurice, Ozil, Silva, Ivan Crewe, Martin Petrov... The frontcourt are almost all top-notch players. In theory, they are combined in Together, it will definitely make the offense more gorgeous and make the opponent more invincible, but the problem is that the football field is so big, and the space near the opponent's penalty area is also limited. There are too many players with strong technical strength, and they may not be able to play. It's better, but after the downsizing (Torres), the offense will appear more fluid.
Chelsea didn't notice this, they thought Manchester City had strengthened their defence and the attack would definitely suffer.
So they don't care at all.
It is even said that when Morris hoisted the ball to the left side of the penalty area, full-back Ferreira still felt that it was a mistake: Torres was in that position before, but Torres has already gone, Manchester City has only one striker, this is not What is the mistake?
But others don't think so because they can see the game as a whole!
For example, the announcer at Stamford Bridge was immediately aware of the danger. When he saw Morris's pass, he shouted, "Watch out for this kick! Danger—"
The fans at the scene also noticed, they exclaimed in the stands, and many reporters in the media stand stood up and shouted like the fans.
"Morris' pass! Great opportunity!"
With the shouting of George Woodgate, the British BBC broadcast commentator, almost everyone looked at a Manchester City player who followed on the right--
Ozil!
After Torres came off, Ozil ran almost according to the team's usual tactical routine. When he saw Morris getting the ball in the middle, he subconsciously ran towards the space on the right.
When Ozil ran into position, the football seemed to be rehearsed, hanging directly in front of him.
Ozil suppressed his excitement, raised his head and glanced in the direction of the door, followed by waving his right foot directly.
————
Wan Sheng stood up from the coach's bench with a 'swoosh', clenched his fists tightly, and stared at Chelsea's goal with wide eyes.
Many fans exclaimed in the stands.
Behind the Chelsea goal, the cameramen who took pictures kept pressing the shutter, and the live media cameras were almost all aimed in front of the Chelsea goal.
At the same moment, all the commentators of the live game shouted--
"Ozil—"
"Shoot-"
"Look at this ball—"
In these sounds, Ozil seemed to be in slow motion in front of his eyes. The football hit the ground with its head on the ground, and the grass was flying and bounced again. At the same time, his right leg was also waving over!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound!
The right instep collided with the football!
The football almost went through a hard turn in mid-air, instantly changing direction and heading straight towards the goal.
"Volley shot!"
Chelsea goalkeeper Cech subconsciously waved his right arm to block the ball, but when he made this conditioned reflex action, the football had already rushed over from the right.
————
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!"
"3:3! 3:3!"
"Sixth goal!"
"Here is Chelsea at home against Manchester City, and before the first half was over, there were already six goals."
"It was Ozil, a young German player who just scored, and he helped Manchester City to tie the score! 3:3! It was an amazing game, both sides maintained high efficiency. No one could have imagined before the game that the game would be So many goals."
"After Ozil's goal, the two sides returned to the same starting line, and the next game will be even more exciting..." (To be continued ~^~)
