After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Saturday, January 2015, 1, afternoon.

As a golden game on Saturday afternoon, Chelsea's game against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge became the focus of worldwide attention.

This is not just a game between BIG6, but also a strong dialogue between the top and second in the Premier League, and it is also a contest between the previous champion and the current leader.

Stamford Bridge was packed early.

Although the jerseys of both teams are blue, but today at Stamford Bridge, of course, the deeper blue has the absolute upper hand.

The fans of the visiting team Manchester City wearing light blue jerseys were squeezed into a remote corner, like a light blue boat surrounded by the dark blue sea!

Of course, Manchester City fans are not to be outdone, they are still using their singing and applause to cheer for their team.

But now Stamford Bridge is not a "library".

They created a bigger momentum and completely drowned out the voices of Manchester City fans.

It can be said that the game has not yet started, and the fans of the two teams have already fought back and forth in the stands.

They are using their own way to start an outpost for the team they support!

And this scene was also included in the pre-match footage by the game broadcaster, Sky Sports TV.

Host Lineker said:
"This is definitely the most important game of the season, and the peak duel between the two is undoubtedly quite eye-catching."

"Manchester City were last champions and are second with 47 points so far this season."

"In fact, if it weren't for Chelsea, which is in an almost abnormal state this season, Manchester City still has a chance to compete for the league title this season."

"But now the gap between the two teams has come to 17 points, which makes many people think that the title race is over."

"And what I want to say is that if Manchester City can beat Chelsea against the trend today, miracles may still happen. After all, in the history of the Premier League, such things have not happened once or twice."

"But. I would say but. If Chelsea can beat Manchester City again, then this season will really end early. The huge gap of 20 points, coupled with Chelsea's unstoppable momentum, maybe only the destruction of the earth can prevent them from winning the championship... "

After Lineker finished speaking, he looked at the guests present.

Among today's guests, Alan Shearer and Carragher, as well as Chelsea star Zola are still listed, but there is no Gary Neville or Roy Keane.

Gary Neville did not come because since Manchester United's 0:8 defeat to Chelsea, he announced his temporary withdrawal from Sky Sports and no longer served as a broadcast guest.

He couldn't stand being humiliated in the live broadcast room anymore!
At the same time, it has been attacked by netizens all over the world.

It is said that he is now studying coaching courses seriously at home, preparing to obtain a coaching certificate, and then he will go out to save the Red Devils himself.

And Roy Keane did not come because the famous Manchester City guest who came to the live broadcast room today is named Alf-Inge Harland.

Since he was playing for Manchester City, Manchester City was only a mid-to-lower team in the Premier League, so he is not very famous in world football.

But he has one standout product - his son Errin Harland, which means he's the daddy of the child-eating Majin Buu!
It is precisely because of this that we are used to calling him Old Harland.

And there is a relatively famous grievance between the old Harland and Roy Keane.

The story first goes back to 1998. Leeds United, where Haaland played for the old man, played against Manchester United. During the game, Keane tried to stop the old Haaland from dribbling the ball, but instead severely injured the cruciate ligament of his knee.

When Keane fell to the ground, instead of stepping forward to care, the old Harland complained to the referee that the former had fraudulently injured. This move made Keane hold a grudge.

Three years later, on April 2001, 4, the old Haaland had been transferred to Manchester City and served as the captain. At the end of the game, the old Haaland controlled the ball in the midfield, and Keane rushed forward quickly.

Harland passed the ball before Keane got close, but Keane's goal was not the ball. He used the momentum of his forward charge to make a knee-high flying shovel, which hit the old Harland's right Legs and knees, the latter flipped in the air after being hit by a huge impact and fell heavily to the ground.

After the old Harland fell to the ground, Keane also laughed at him as an insult to vent his anger. Before the referee showed a red card, Keane returned directly to the locker room without looking back.

Keane was fined an additional £5000 by the FA for this flagrant foul and suspended for three games. Afterwards, Keane admitted to intentional injury in his autobiography published in 3, and was fined £2002 and suspended for five games.

The old Haaland suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee after being retaliated by Keane. After that, he did not play again and announced his retirement in 2002.

This is why the old Harland and Sun Jihai were actually teammates at the same time, but the two never played in the same game, because the old Harland spent most of his time recuperating from his injuries!

Therefore, the old Harland and Keane had a grudge, and in the end the old Harland did not forgive Keane.

In the normal timeline, Harland Jr. joined Manchester City for the first Manchester Derby. Keane and Harland Sr. were invited to participate in the report as guests of Sky Sports and Norwegian TV respectively.

The two conducted on-site interviews with a distance of more than ten steps back to back, but ignored each other.

In order to resolve the grievances between the two parties, Sky Sports also invited the old Harland and Keane to participate in the talk show, but the former resolutely rejected the invitation.

It can also be seen from this how deep the grievances between the two are, and it is still hard to let go even after retiring for so many years.

Therefore, when Chelsea played against Manchester City today, Sky Sports invited the old Harland as a broadcast guest, and Roy Keane was also absent for some reason.

And after Lineker finished his opening remarks, the old Harland also put forward his own views:
"Although I hope that Manchester City can win today's game, to be honest, I am really looking forward to Pan Yi's Chelsea."

"They are the team that has really made people's eyes shine in the Premier League in the past so many years. Their style of play is too advanced, too advanced, and too surprising."

"I really don't understand how Pan Yi, a native of Longguo, has such a long head. Why can he come up with so many unexpected tactics? It's like he is a supercomputer, which can store and calculate all the coaching tactics in the world. ..."

Zola laughed: "So you sent your son to Chelsea's youth academy."

Old Harland nodded: "Yes, I told my son to leave Norway and return to England because of Pan Yi. In fact, I don't understand how he found my son in the Brune club's youth training camp... After all, my son is not as gifted as Messi."

"But no matter what, I feel that I can congratulate you in advance." Alan Shearer also smiled, "As we all know, any young man who is favored by Pan Yi will not fail to kick him out."

Carragher said: "I heard that Pan Yi also had the idea of ​​​​our Liverpool youth training player Arnold, but he was rejected. I have watched Arnold's game. It is indeed a rare good seed. I can even see it in him. Beckham shadows, long balls and set pieces are very accurate."

Lineker joked: "For Arnold, staying in Liverpool may not be a good thing. Maybe if he leaves with Pan Yi, he will become the next Beckham or Pirlo, but staying in Liverpool will be the next one. Be the next Carragher..."

Everyone laughed.

The old Harland said with certainty: "I will definitely let my son hang around with Pan Yi now. Even if he is not in Chelsea in the future, I still hope that Harland Jr. will follow him no matter where he goes. team."

Zola said a bit sourly: "Is the Chelsea youth training camp so unworthy of your nostalgia?"

The old Harland laughed: "Chelsea's youth training system is of course great. They have also cultivated world-class stars like Terry. But believe me, there is no better coach in this world than Pan Yi..."

At this time, Lineker said: "Okay, we have got the starting list for this game."

Everyone stopped chatting and looked at Lineker quietly.

"Manchester City's starting lineup today is a bit unexpected. Judging from this list, it feels like a 3-4-3?"

"The goalkeeper is still Joe Hart, and the defense is a three-centre position, Demichelis, Kompany and Mangala."

"Originally in Manchester City's 4231 formation, the two full-backs, Clichy and Zabaleta, both mentioned the position of playing wing-back or wide-midfield in the midfield, and the two holding midfielders in the middle are Fernandi. Neo and his compatriot Fernando Francisco."

"Manchester City's main midfielder Yaya Toure is not in the squad because he is representing Côte d'Ivoire in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. Although Mikel in Chelsea's squad is also from Africa, Nigeria has not been able to enter this year. finals, so Mikel can still compete."

"In Manchester City's forward line, in the center is the Argentine star Aguero, with David Silva on the left and Nasri on the right."

"Looking at Chelsea again, it is also a 3-4-3. The striker is a combination of Hazard, Lukaku and Bernardo Silva..."

随着莱因克尔把两边的阵容都列出来，大家都看明白了，真的是3-4-3对3-4-3！

But this time the surprise was not Chelsea, but Manchester City.

After all, Chelsea's most frequently used formation this season is 3-4-3, while Manchester City is the first time!
What is Pellegrini planning?
"To be honest, I don't understand." Carragher rubbed his head and said, "Is it because Peigong felt that his tactics could not beat Chelsea, so he copied a copy of Pan Yi's to play? But... really Is it possible?"

"Yes, if the tactics can be copied, then the teams in the world don't need to hire coaches, just copy others." Alan Shearer also scratched his head, "Besides, even if the tactics can really be copied, the players on both sides will not Is it the same? Could it be possible that even technology, coordination, and spiritual attributes can be copied together?"

Lineker said with a smile: "I don't think you should get entangled in this first. Pan Yi always tells us in the game that the basic formation on paper is for reference only, and the dynamic transformation in actual combat is worthwhile." We discuss the key to research. Therefore, let’s enjoy this focus battle first! Combine the game and then do a detailed tactical analysis!”
-
With the whistle of the referee, the much-anticipated battle between the top two teams in the Premier League finally started.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took the lead to kick off, and the Chelsea players quickly rushed towards the back of Manchester City.

This kind of "pushing" is not just the kind of frontcourt players who come forward to harass, but also includes the entire back line of defense. This shows Chelsea's determination to press firmly in the frontcourt.

But Manchester City also seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and the formation quickly recovered and became a 5-4-1, and then began to use the advantage of the backcourt to conduct transmission and break Chelsea's frontcourt oppression.

They first passed the ball to Kompany, and then the captain passed it to Fernandinho who returned from the midfielder.

Fernandinho had already run to the left side at this time, and knocked the ball directly to the left wingback Chrissy without stopping the ball. The latter also quickly handed the ball to David Sean in front Elva.

David Silva quickly unleashed an attack.

He dribbled the ball quickly along the side to kill Chelsea's penalty area, while Aguero from the center and Nasri from the right rib, and the two rushed towards Manchester City's penalty area at the same time.

David Silva saw the opponent's Azpilicueta running towards him, and before he got close, he passed the ball directly to Aguero.

But David Luiz in the middle reacted quickly and cleared the ball with a big foot.

Although the first attack failed to create a threat, Manchester City still held the ball and organized patiently.

They soon got another chance.

Still on the left, Aguero retreated to respond and passed Clichy's pass to David Silva, who directly passed a long pass to Nasri on the other side. The Frenchman knocked the ball directly behind him and passed it to Sabaletta who plugged in.

Zabaleta took the ball and sprinted straight forward. Seeing Terry who couldn't break through to defend, he passed it back to the left with a kick. At this time, David Silva followed up with a volley shot. But the ball was a little higher and flew out of the baseline against the crossbar.

In just a few minutes, Manchester City organized two effective attacks and had a threatening shot.

This made the away Manchester City fans very excited.

It seems that they have a chance to win today!

……

"Well done, well done!"

On the sidelines, Pellegrini applauded vigorously, and then shouted at the players on the field.

Their start today was really good.

Don't look at it as just a shot and no score, but this is not played by a quick counterattack and taking advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's defensive formation that cannot be fully established.

This is an opportunity for Manchester City to start from the backcourt, and then slowly use the conduction and cooperation of their own players to gradually tear through Chelsea's defense line.

This is very commendable!
This also shows that Vieira's pseudo 3-4-3 left overload play is effective!

Therefore, Pellegrini's confidence has also greatly increased.

So he also began to encourage the disciples on the field, let them also boost their confidence, and let them believe that they can beat Chelsea, even if today is an away game!

This is very important.

On the football field, spirit is often more important than technique and tactics!
At this time, Chelsea on the field also began to fight back.

Pellegrini also hurriedly shouted:

"Recycle! Recycle immediately! Set up defense and organize the formation!"

"Pay attention to Hazard, don't let him break through with the ball easily!"

"Cut their passing lanes! Watch out for the second spot!  …"

After the five defenders shrank their defense and tightly blocked their own half, Manchester City's defense was really difficult to break through.

At this time, Manchester City has transformed into a defensive counterattack mode, waiting for Chelsea to make a mistake, and then use their star abilities on the front line to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

"...a counter-attack from Manchester City, Fernando took the ball and passed it to the left..."

"David Silva got rid of Matic's defense and made a cross from the bottom! Terry headed the ball to clear, beautiful defense!"

"Manchester City's counterattack was very fast this time, but Chelsea's return to defense was not slow, and several defensive players completed their tasks well."

……

"Chelsea launched a counterattack, the ball came to the left, Hazard crossed, and his Belgian compatriot Kompany headed over."

"Speaking of which, Kompany not only has to defend Hazard's breakthrough and pass, but also defends Chelsea center Lukaku. These two fellows really keep him very busy."

"The ball was caught by Kante, he moved with his big foot, came to the left again, and gave it to Eden Hazard."

"Hazard passed to Lukaku who retreated, and Lukaku played a beautiful one-two with him..."

"Hazard rushed in front of the goal, and then passed the ball low and flat to the middle, Bernardo Silva has already outflanked it!"

"Oops, almost, Bernardo Silva wasted a great chance! He pushed the ball wide!"

"The Portuguese also looked upset, very depressed."

"From the slow-motion playback, we can see that Bernardo Silva was interfered by Demichelis when he started, so he was not so comfortable when shooting, and it also affected his power."

……

"It's still Chelsea who get the ball, or the pass to the left."

"It was Eden Hazard who took the ball again, forced past Zabaleta, and passed it to the back point."

"Seat B followed up and volleyed directly..."

"It's high again!"

"Manchester City took the goal kick, but it was quickly won by Chelsea."

"This time Chelsea broke through from the center and then split sides. Marcos Alonso stepped in and shot directly! Joe Hart reacted quickly and held the ball out with a single palm."

"Chelsea's offensive has been fierce recently, but Manchester City's defense is very solid, and they haven't given Chelsea a good chance."

"It's just that the current situation seems to have been controlled by Chelsea again, and they are firmly in control of the situation of the game."

……

On the pitch, Chelsea attacked again, this time on the right.

After Seat B took the ball, he picked it up and passed it into the penalty area. Lukaku was caught between Demichelis and Kompany. He grabbed the first point with a header and gave it to Kanter at the front of the penalty area.

But Kanter's long-range shot followed, and it hit Joe Hart's arms again.

Chelsea missed another chance to score.

And time is gradually passing in Chelsea's attack after attack.

The first half ended [-]-[-] with neither side scoring a goal.

"Although it was 0:0, we saw a wonderful matchup in this half time."

Lineker concluded:
"City had the upper hand in the first ten or 15 minutes, but from 20 minutes onwards, Chelsea slowly found their rhythm and started attacking City one after another."

"The data from the first half can also illustrate this point. Chelsea's stealing data is amazing, reaching 4 times, which reflects the excellent pressing ability of the Blues. Correspondingly, the number of steals by Manchester City is only [-] times .”

"In terms of ball possession rate, Chelsea has reached 58%. In other words, Manchester City, which has always been praised as a skilled player in the Premier League, has only a mere 42% ball possession rate in front of Chelsea."

"In addition, we can see that Chelsea had 11 shots in the half, and 4 shots were on target, while Manchester City had only 40 shots, except for the opening shot by David Silva. In addition to the volley, it was a counter-attack shot by Aguero in the [-]th minute."

"From my feeling, Manchester City's change of formation had an effect in the opening stage, and it did catch Chelsea by surprise. But Pan Yi seemed to understand the opponent's intention after 20 minutes and made adjustments immediately, so he With the above data comparison."

"What do you think?"

After Lineker asked, Carragher immediately took up the topic.

It even feels like he can't wait to speak:
"Yes, I found out, this is another wonderful tactical duel!"

"First of all, Manchester City's 3-4-3 is actually more like a 4-3-3 in actual combat. The left wingback Clichy often recovers, and then uses this natural asymmetric transformation to let Manchester City play on the left. , Through the left center back, the left wing position and the partial numerical advantage of the left winger, we can make a lot of articles."

"The left side is obviously the strong side of Blue Moon's offense, and many threatening offenses were initiated from the left side. And judging from the proportion of the three-way offense in the half court, the left side also reached 45%."

"Obviously, Manchester City's tactic today is a genius idea. They just want to concentrate their firepower on Chelsea's relatively weak defense on the right to make a breakthrough."

"At the same time, they can use the back five after the recovery of the formation to strengthen the defense and reduce the effect of Chelsea's high pressing."

"But the problem is that Chelsea's coach is Pan Yi, a genius among geniuses! After 20 minutes, the positioning of their players will probably start to confuse Manchester City."

“说它不是3-4-3吧，但从人员搭配上确实还是潘毅惯用的那个3-4-3；但你要说它是3-4-3吧，似乎又不是那么一回事。”

"Marcos Alonso, who was supposed to be on the left wing-back, seemed to be standing at left centre-back, while Azpilicueta was also inside on the left. David Luiz was still in the middle, and John Terry and Gary Cahill kind of ran to the right back."

"The positioning of the personnel seems a bit chaotic, but it seems that Pan Yi understood Pellegrini's tricks, and then chose to deploy a large number of defensive troops on the opponent's strong side to stifle the opponent's offensive firepower."

"It stands to reason that such a choice is not very unusual, but the problem is that the positions of these players are really confusing."

"However, such a strange adjustment has quickly achieved results. Manchester City's attack is not as powerful as it was at the beginning. On the contrary, Chelsea's attack has strengthened instead."

"We saw it from an attack in the 24th minute, when Gary Cahill got the ball and moved in, attracted Manchester City's left wing-back Clichy's defense, and then passed to the right winger Bernardo Silva. , After cooperating with Lukaku, came a kick to knock the mountain and shake the tiger."

"And from this moment of 28 minutes... I paused the screen for everyone to see. We can find that, compared with Chelsea's high defensive formation under normal circumstances, for Arsenal's 4-back U-shaped ball system, Pan Yi directly Defensively put five men on the front line to try to give the opponent a stronger pressure."

"It was these changes that allowed Chelsea to regain the initiative in the game. Obviously, Pellegrini failed to respond in time to Pan Yi's changes, so in the second half of the first half In this period, the team fell into a comprehensive passive."

"It can be said that Manchester City has not conceded a goal yet, it is just luck. If this continues, it is only a matter of time before they concede a goal or even lose..."
