Chapter 836

From the very beginning of the game, Chelsea were determined to wait for the counterattack!

After the start of the game, although Chelsea did not get many opportunities to control the ball!

However, it is not easy for Manchester City to penetrate the defensive system of the three defensive midfielders.

Mourinho now wants to understand anyway.

He had lost to Gao Bo so many times, and he would not be ashamed to lose again. Keeping a draw is a profit, if there is a chance to counterattack and score a goal, it will make a big profit!

Moreover, Chelsea's ability to counterattack is definitely not weak!

Sneijder's ability to pass the ball forward!

The speed and punch of William and Eto'o!

Although Mourinho did not allow more players to participate in the attack in this game, there are these three! Once there is a chance to counterattack, it is enough for Manchester City and two pots!

The game started five or six minutes.

Chelsea did not get any chance to counterattack.

Of course, Manchester City's attack did not work well either.

In these five minutes, Manchester City only had one shot, and it was a long shot. Fernandinho's shot hit the anti-aircraft gun! !

When Chelsea are determined to defend, even Manchester City have a hard time breaking their goal for a while.

"Both sides attached great importance to this game. Chelsea put on a defensive posture on the road! Defensive counterattack is Mourinho's housekeeping skills, and now, he has used defense to the extreme!! With three defensive midfielders Coupled with the defensive system of four defenders to limit Manchester City's offensive performance!! This is a showdown between a spear and a shield! Until the last minute, it is difficult to tell the outcome!"

"From the current situation, Chelsea's defense is not bad, but the game is 90 minutes. Whether Chelsea can defend it depends on the performance of the next game!"

Despite saying so.

But most commentators think so.

If this game develops according to the current situation, there will not be many goals.

Even....probably zero goals! !

Because from the current situation,

One side sets up the bus, and the other side conducts a positional attack.

It's not easy to score goals!

So, although Chelsea seems to be completely pressed in the second half now, Mourinho still sits at ease in the coaching bench.

This is the tactic he arranged before the game!

Shou!

Stick to it! !

There is absolutely no chance to fight back!

Even if it is zero to zero! It's a win for Chelsea! !

Anyway, this season, the idea of ​​competing with Manchester City for the league title is completely lost.

Might as well get a point on your opponent.

At the Etihad Stadium, take a point against Manchester City to end the opponent's 23-game winning streak!

This is already a very good result! !

Therefore, as long as the ball is not conceded, Mourinho is very calm!

However, no one thought of it.

Chelsea, who is determined to stick to it...it seems that luck is not so good!

Gao Bo also saw Mourinho's thoughts.

This guy is here for a draw.

A team that doesn't look like an offense at all, like a wrecking ball, is difficult to deal with no matter who comes.

It takes a lot more patience to break the goal of such a team.

So from the first minute of the game, Gao Bo stood on the sidelines. Although he didn't move much, he used his body language from time to time to send signals to the players not to worry and to be patient.

.....

This time!

Manchester City's attack started with goalkeeper Oblak.

In an attack by Manchester City, Griezmann went straight to find Hazard and was directly cleared by Terry.

The football crossed the half.

Oblak was almost over the half-court due to Chelsea's reliance on the back.

He stopped the ball near the middle circle and passed it to David Silva!

David Silva took two steps forward and passed the ball to Griezmann who came over.

Chelsea players are concerned about both players.

However, more often, they still set their sights on David Silva, who was swimming in the middle.

Mourinho has taken a deep dive into the footage of Manchester City's games this season!

The biggest feature of Manchester City is that in the face of intensive defense, the two sides will be wide apart, making use of the space on the pitch as much as possible.

And David Silva, Griezmann, and even Sanchez and Hazard are all capable of the job of the attacking midfielder.

Therefore, many of Manchester City's goals are transmitted through the attacking midfielder position to combat weak defenses!

This position is the key to Manchester City's offense! !

So, when David Silva moved to the middle, and Griezmann completed the exchange.

He has become Chelsea's most important player.

Mikel has been following David Silva, focusing on him!

Mikel is Mourinho's exciting defensive force today. His task is to defend key players man-to-man! !

However!

This time, it seems that Manchester City does not mean to run the football towards the middle! !

Griezmann started his performance on the flanks.

Although Griezmann's position in the opening stage stood in the position of the attacking midfielder.

But Manchester City's attacking forward is very flexible.

In today's game, the team is not accustomed to attacking from the middle!

The two side roads are the key areas for Manchester City to make an article today! !

this game! !

Gao Bo let the players on both sides act as two front midfielders!

Purpose!

It's to hit Chelsea's rib area! ! !

This is a response to Chelsea's intensive defense! !

Gao Bo showed his surprise.

To deal with this guy Mourinho, you always have to come up with new tricks to surprise him.

If Mourinho pays attention to the middle, he is doomed to suffer a big loss!

......

Griezmann first used the starting speed to quickly dodge Matic! ! !

Then! !

Griezmann dribbles the ball! !

When facing Kante, he decisively passed the ball to Hazard who came to pick up! Then get down!

Hazard passed the football out for the first time.

Two to one! !

Then Hazard's interlude caught Kante's attention, and central defender David Silva had to save to defend Griezmann.

Almost at the same time!

On the left, Sanchez plugs directly into the middle of the penalty area!

David Silva is cruising within the penalty area line, attracting the attention of the defense! !

Right!

Griezmann didn't wait for the defending David Luiz to post it, and put the ball out!

The target is David Silva, who is diagonally behind!

Manchester City's attack this time perfectly reflects Gao Bo's tactical deployment before the game!

Chelsea's defense is fully mobilized! !

Now, in the Chelsea box! !

The surrounding personnel began to appear a little confused, and Terry followed Hazard in the penalty area! !

Then, David Silva let the ball to his left foot! ! !

Inside the restricted area!

A great shot opportunity appears! !

.........

"Two over one!! Beautiful!!!! David Luiz went up!! Griezmann passed the ball!! David Silva.... let the ball come over and shoot directly!!!!!! "

Football draws an arc! ! !

Cech soars!

However, the people in the restricted area blocked his sight!

By the time the football flew to the door, it was too late!

Even if he threw his body out as much as possible, but... it's still one step too late! !

Cech could only watch the football enter the goal! !

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!"

The narrator was stunned for a moment, and then shouted.

No one expected that in such an important game, Manchester City scored a goal after a slightly more serious attack after several tentative attacks!

"David Silva!! Beautiful curve ball in the penalty area!! The football bypassed all defenders and almost rubbed the post into the goal!!"

"One to zero!!! In the eleventh minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead at home, and it was David Silva who scored!!"

David Silva was very excited after the goal!

He rushed to the sidelines and celebrated his goal with a knee slip!

Seeing this scene, the cheers in the stands became even louder!

"David Silva! He used a curveball to shoot the far corner of the goal, smashed Chelsea's goal, broke the deadlock of the game, and the next game will be good for Manchester City!!"

Letkinson said.

"Gao Bo must be very satisfied now!!"

"This may be the worst start for Chelsea!! They are facing Manchester City, who have won 23 consecutive victories, and they put on a defensive posture at the beginning of the game, but their It only lasted 11 minutes!!! Chelsea fell behind again against Manchester City!! For Chelsea fans, this is probably not good news, you know, Mourinho has never won Gao Bo's, is it... This time, Mourinho's record of losing to Gao Bo will continue?"

The telecast also gave Mourinho a very timely close-up.

He stood up from the coach's bench and spread his hands.

Then he turned back and said something to his assistant, and the expression on his face seemed a bit miraculous.

obviously!

This loss completely disrupted his tactical deployment!

The strategy of sticking to a draw is completely bankrupt.

Moreover, if Chelsea does not want to lose, it must first give up its own strategy of defending.

Mourinho is deeply aware of Manchester City's offensive strength.

Therefore, it is also helpless to make a dead-end deployment before the game.

However, even so, it did not stop.

The opponent made a seemingly ordinary attack, but the ultimate move fell out.

In terms of the richness of the attack, Chelsea was completely blasted by Manchester City! !

The shape is left and right, and the sound is east and west.

Manchester City played this set very skillfully.

Mourinho looked very helpless.

Because he sees very clearly.

The terrible thing about Manchester City's attack is that Griezmann has the ball alone.

The other players kept moving and tacit understanding, completely disrupting Chelsea's defense!

A bland attack, but it contains such a terrifying murderous intent!

Behind the seemingly calm, it is hard to guard against it!

This conceded goal can be said to be the responsibility of Chelsea's entire defence.

The entire line of defense was completely torn apart by Manchester City.

But now is not the time to divide the pot.

Because, Griezmann's personal ability is too outstanding.

Matic's defense is very good, but he was still rushed by Griezmann like a wooden stake just now!

There is another very real problem facing Chelsea now.

That is to continue to defend?

There is no point in defending one goal behind!

However, it is only the tenth minute of the game. If the team wants to change tactics, with the current staffing configuration, no one is available even if they want to attack!

The formation of 4321, with three defensive midfielders, is specially designed for defensive counterattacks.

Now if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must make some adjustments in staffing.

But the substitution was made not long after the game started, but a substitution quota was wasted.

Mourinho didn't hesitate too long.

Because he knew that there was no time for him to continue dawdling.

So he simply let the players continue to stick to the defense.

In any case, let's guard the first half first.

At this time, Mourinho was very cautious.

He easily does not want to make changes.

After all, the gap behind a goal is not large, and Chelsea may not have the chance to come back in the second half.

If they make a rash change now, Chelsea will make a mistake, conceding the second goal, or even the third goal.

Don't play in the second half.

Chelsea simply surrendered.

So when the game resumes, Chelsea continue to stick to their tactics! !

The game goes on!

Manchester City, who scored the first goal, was not conservative, but frequently exerted strong pressure on Chelsea's goal.

Although Chelsea's players felt a little aggrieved, in the face of the mighty Manchester City and the coach's request, they couldn't shrink back and tried to accumulate numbers in the penalty area to defend.

Chelsea seems very passive.

Gao Bo pouted when he saw such a scene on the sidelines.

Mourinho seemed terrified by him.

The madman also lost his arrogance.

They are all behind, and they don't dare to come out and fight the bayonet. How cowardly!

Gao Bo sat back on the coach's seat, thinking with some regret.

For Gao Bo, what he is most looking forward to is that Chelsea will play against him.

Manchester City are not afraid to play against each other.

On the contrary, Chelsea is now like this, and it is still a little troublesome for Manchester City.

........

Thirty-sixth minutes of the game.

There were some surprises on the field.

Sanchez and Matic in a confrontation.

Matic's elbow hit the bridge of Sanchez's nose.

The Chilean star suddenly had a nosebleed and had to go to the sidelines for treatment.

The referee did not think that Matic was intentional, he thought it was an unintentional move, so although he gave Manchester City a free kick in the frontcourt, he did not show a yellow card to Matic, not even a verbal warning!

"This old bastard!!"

Gao Bo was furious on the sidelines!

Fortunately, after examination, Sanchez's nose is fine, the bridge of the nose is not broken, just a nosebleed.

After stopping the bleeding, you can go back to the court.

During this time, the game was a bit dull.

Since Sanchez was off the field for treatment, Manchester City slowly controlled the football, otherwise Chelsea could take the opportunity.

In the end, the first half of the game ended with a score of zero!
