Chapter 379 Chelsea comes prepared

Zhao Jinge's last roar made all the Manchester City players feel their blood boiling. Amidst roars of filial piety, Zhao Jinge, who opened the locker room door, was like a leading general, leading an invincible army. A battlefield of honor that belongs to them.

Under the clear sky, Stamford Bridge finally ushered in the most important Premier League game of the season!

"The players from both sides have followed the referee team and stepped onto the court! Hello viewers, welcome to today's focus showdown!"

"This is Sky Sports"

"Welcome to the focus of the 33rd round of the Premier League, here is..."

When the players from both sides finally stepped onto the court, commentators from various countries also quickly read the opening remarks.

As a game that is likely to determine the Premier League championship this season, it has naturally attracted the attention of countless fans around the world. Whether Manchester City can win the Premier League championship this season with a crushing attitude, such a game is still very interesting to watch. of!

“Manchester City, playing away from home, used their best four-three-three formation today.

Zhao Jinge partners with Sterling and Mahrez in the three forwards, and the three midfielders are David Silva, Yaya Toure and Gundogan.

The defense is lined up, including Kyle Walker, Stones, Laporte and Clichy.

The goalkeeper position is Joe Hart, who has become more and more stable recently.

This is also the most commonly used formation of Manchester City this season. Today, all the main players are out, except for a few players. It seems that Manchester City is very confident in winning the game today! "

As soon as Andy Gray finished speaking in the British Sky Sports live broadcast room, Lineker had already taken over.

“Yes, I think the entire Manchester City team came to Stamford Bridge today with the belief that they must win. As long as they win this game, Manchester City will become the Premier League champion this season!

All Manchester City supporters are also ready to celebrate the championship with the team today!

We can clearly see through the live broadcast footage that many Blue Moon fans are holding a small Buck Cup in their hands, and they can't wait! "

Many neutral Premier League fans listened to Lineker's explanation and looked at the live broadcast camera. As expected, the Blue Moon fans laughed at the camera and showed off the model of the Premier League championship trophy in their hands.

Scenes like this are actually not uncommon over the years.

Although the FA, as a rule, will award the trophy at the last home stadium of the winning team each season.

But if a team wins the championship several rounds in advance, the fans will spontaneously bring the fake Premier League trophy to celebrate with the players first, and then wait until they return to their home court to hold a grand awards ceremony.

So today's Manchester City fans came to Stamford Bridge with the "fake" trophy and were ready to celebrate wildly on Chelsea's territory.

This scene is definitely unacceptable to Chelsea fans. After all, they are second in the league! Although there is a lot behind Manchester City in first place, it is still too much to let your opponent step on you and win the championship at home!

But although the Chelsea players said they would congratulate Manchester City if they won, they were still trying to defend their home court.

In any case, watching others celebrate the championship in their home stadium will make players feel uncomfortable to a certain extent.

If they feel uncomfortable, they naturally don't want to make the other person feel too comfortable.

So when the game started and Manchester City wanted to get the start, they were surprised to find that Chelsea's players were particularly hardworking and actually had a head-on confrontation with Manchester City in the midfield!

Chelsea adopted the same four-three-three formation as Manchester City today.

Goalkeeper Courtois.

The defense is lined up from left to right: Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Alonso.

In the midfield, Chelsea boldly used a single defensive midfielder position.

Matic served as the single defensive midfielder in this game, while Moses and Fabregas served as the double central midfielder.

It can be seen from this point that Chelsea's tactical focus today is definitely not on the defensive end.

It can only be said that Chelsea's head coach Mancini is also very courageous.

On the front line, Hazard and Pedro are on the left and right wings, and in front of them is center Diego Costa.

In order to win the championship, Manchester City will definitely have to go on the offensive in the away game, but Chelsea are not deterred and have also adopted a more aggressive formation at their home court!

So today's game is destined not to be conservative.

Many fans will be surprised that Chelsea coach Mancini will use 433 to compete with Manchester City. More fans think that he will use 352 to maintain a draw.

But there are also many fans who think he is smart and chooses the tactics that are most beneficial to his team.

After all, even if Chelsea's defense is still solid, that's the evaluation it gets in the Premier League.

Juventus' defense and Chelsea have already experienced it in the previous group matches.

It must be at least one level better than them.

But even such a team, which seemed to have a very strong defense, was still beaten to pieces by Manchester City.

Mancini does not think that his team's midfield and backfield defense can stop Manchester City's offensive.

Therefore, after many considerations, Mancini can be said to have been forced to put on today's formation.

Manchester City's defense is also very strong, especially in preventing high-altitude balls, but that doesn't mean Chelsea has no chance.

Their offensive method is more ground-oriented, and the team's aces Hazard and Pedro are also quick and quick, with excellent passing and cutting coordination and small skills.

Diego Costa is not a high center forward in the traditional sense, and the team's offense is more ground-oriented.

In terms of offense alone, Chelsea is not bad, and they will not be beaten to death by Manchester City like other rough teams.

Without Kante, Manchester City will not be at its peak today in terms of ground troubles. This is where Mancini can focus on making a fuss.

Guardiola really didn't expect that his opponent today would have the courage to fight against each other. This way the fault tolerance rate is obviously lower.

When the game just started, Manchester City chose to control the situation first as always.

Zhao Jinge retreated slightly, suppressing Chelsea's single defensive midfielder Matic, and used it as a fulcrum to provide Sterling and Mahrez with the ball for the opening attack.

Everything looked like usual, and the rhythm of the game was developing according to Manchester City's expectations.

As long as the weak side of Chelsea's midfield and backfield defense is found out today, Manchester City will intensify its attack at this point, relying on the super ability of the trident to break the surface and open the gap. As long as the first goal is scored, Chelsea will be like the Champions League opponents Manchester City encountered in the first two rounds. No matter how hard they struggle, they cannot escape the final defeat.

But when Chelsea found the opportunity to play a quick side counterattack, Guardiola felt something was wrong.

Chelsea's two wingers are very skilled, fast and delicate. They are different from the teams Manchester City has played against recently. They have a feeling of Real Madrid wingers.

Diego Costa fulfilled his fulcrum mission very well. When Yaya Toure was taken away by him, Hazard and Pedro had a certain amount of space to dribble the ball to Manchester City's 30-meter area.

That's not to say that Manchester City's players in front are slacking off on defense.

The game has just started now, and both sides are still testing the situation. They are not sure which aspect the opponent's true intentions are focused on. It is completely normal for some mistakes to be caught off guard.

Chelsea's counterattack ideas are on point, and their overall skills are enough to support their quick passing on the ground.

Anyway, he just didn’t get too involved physically with Manchester City’s defensive players.

And after all, two speedy wingers were involved. Once the counterattack started, there were release points on both sides of the ball. The outstanding effect really made many fans shine.

Gundogan took a few more glances at Hazard, who played well in counterattacks and was versatile. This kid can now not only create opportunities with the ball, but also has more delicate and outstanding footwork, broad vision, and good passing opportunities. The control is also very good, it has completely evolved compared to a year ago!

In the eighth minute of the first half, when Hazard suddenly launched a cold arrow during a counterattack and truly threatened the Manchester City goal, many fans who were ready to watch Manchester City's fun immediately got excited.

The Manchester City fans had a bad thought in their minds.

Is this Chelsea really prepared? ! What you say sounds nice, but when you get to the court, you are really ruthless in your attacks. In the first two rounds, I didn't see you being so tactically targeted.

It seems that today’s journey to win the championship will not be easy!

However, this is in line with the wishes of the majority of neutral fans. The focus of the championship battle is that the more intense it is, the better it will be!

An ordinary game is not worthy of such an important day!

"The person who came here is evil!"

Zhao Jinge looked at the Chelsea players who were aggressive and constantly looking for opportunities to launch counterattacks, and couldn't help but feel a little appreciation for their boldness.

Since Manchester City achieved real dominance across Europe last season, few teams have dared to be so aggressive in front of Manchester City.

Unexpectedly, Juventus in the last game and Chelsea today gave Manchester City such a blow. Manchester City was a little uncomfortable with the opening attack!

Guardiola also walked out of the coaching bench at this moment. He stood on the sidelines without speaking, but there was anger in his eyes.

It's hard to say how angry he was, but seeing his team being beaten by Chelsea into several pretty good counterattacks, Guardiola was really a little unhappy.

It’s not that I have any objections to Chelsea, I’m more angry at my own players. Juventus just made a big mistake in the last game, but they didn’t learn their lesson and continued to suffer some losses from Chelsea. .

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of mentality. We are about to win the championship. No matter how loud the slogan is, the spirit of the whole team is relaxed!

Today Chelsea had to challenge Manchester City's defensive system, but they still used counterattacks and frontal attacks. If they succeeded, would Manchester City still want to lose face?

Originally, before the game started, Guardiola thought that he would go out with all his strength to defeat Chelsea today, and he could finish the work early in the second half.

After all, the schedule in late April has become tighter, and the main lineup can be used sparingly. There are also more powerful enemies to deal with in the subsequent leagues.

But now, Guardiola has no intention of sparing any effort. No matter whether it is home or away, Manchester City will only have one choice when encountering provocation. beat! Fight to the end!

Attack with all your strength and completely destroy your opponent without sparing any effort!

So he stood on the sidelines at this moment, glanced around his disciples, and waved his arms forward firmly and dramatically!

For a moment, all the Manchester City fans who saw Guardiola's actions became excited.

Guardiola does not issue such tactical instructions many times, but every time he does so, it is when Manchester City will completely drag their opponents into the abyss!

"Counterattack! Counterattack! Get moving, no matter whose home field this is! We are going to win the championship today! Kill them! Come on!!!"

After Zhao Jinge saw Guardiola's tactical gesture, he roared and waved his arms to signal his teammates to press forward!

No more offensive probing is needed.

Zhao Jinge also withdrew his gaze from Azar.

Regardless of whether the opponent wants to win by defeating Manchester City or by stepping on his name, this is something he cannot tolerate happening.

Hazard is strong, but not to mention that he has not yet reached his peak. Even if Hazard is already at his peak, Zhao Jinge has a hundred confidence to defeat him head-on!

With the change in Manchester City's tactical thinking, Chelsea suddenly found it much more difficult to play the ball.

And this is just the beginning, as the game progresses.

When Zhao Jinge, Mahrez, and Sterling also joined in the pressing and defensive strangulation regardless of physical strength, Chelsea's midfield suddenly showed signs of losing control.

Because now Manchester City doesn't just have a few defenders pressing Chelsea's midfielder's ball route.

The three forwards retreated to apply pressure, and with the active sweeps of Yaya Toure and Gundogan, there were five people strangling and pressing in the center circle.

The difference in numbers alone was enough to make several Chelsea midfielders panic.

This kind of physical running, sweeping and defensive strangulation made Chelsea's players on the ball feel like they were enemies all around them!

As soon as he got the ball, two people surrounded him. When he passed the ball forward, his opponents were eager to sweep it away and steal it. In desperation, he had no choice but to shrink his formation and pass back again.

After all, no matter how well the tactics are designed and implemented on the court, if they can't steadily win the ball, it's all empty talk.

Even if you are fighting a counterattack, you have to give the passer a safe environment and a clear path for the ball, right?

Manchester City completely confused the entire midfield at this moment, and the backcourt conditions also gave Manchester City enough manpower to further increase the intensity of high-position pressure.

Chelsea will either ignore it at this time and try to play a dozen long passes to see if they can take advantage of Manchester City's overall forward pressure and play a dozen long passes to counterattack.

But to be honest, when the football is in the air, it is not up to the Chelsea players.
