544. Battle of the Blues 3
Being a head coach is such a troublesome thing. Although Mourinho has always been known for being tough in his treatment of players, doesn’t he feel that the times have changed?! He has been taught a profound lesson in Real Madrid, where he cannot control everything, and he does not have absolute authority. Now when he returns to Chelsea, the world has changed and time has changed, he also feels that he is not absolute authority. He cannot arrange troops as he wishes. It is impossible to take Hazard.
What's more, Hazard is still his thigh.
Wen Sheng was a little moved by everyone. His goal in this game was first one point, and then three points, but now he was still a little unwilling to give up when he saw that he was still only one step away from the goal.
Wen Sheng finally made a decision, "You can try it! But if we want to adopt such a tactic, we must make adjustments at the beginning of the second half!"
Everyone looked at Wen Sheng's smirk and realized that he was caught off guard when he wanted to beat Chelsea!
Make sure you pay attention, Wensheng will explain the tactics to the players immediately. Is it necessary to say substitutions?! The only one who was adjusted must be Costa. Costa's performance in the first half was really good, but at this time he could only sacrifice him for tactics. Costa was a little unhappy but had no choice but to do so.
When it comes to crossing and cooperation and guidance, he is not as good as De Bruyne, and Silva has a lot. With a high center forward, crossing from the wing must be Manchester City's most important offensive method, and Costa has no advantage.
Manchester City's current tactics are basically to put the tactics back in the first half, so it naturally takes a lot of time to explain them to the players, but they were actually one minute late in the second half.
"These guys are doing something magical?" Mourinho was suspicious. How could he think of Wen Sheng's trick?
Commentators and commentators were also surprised, "Decko replaced Costa?! This move is very risky!"
When Mourinho saw the fourth official on the sidelines erecting Dzeko's sign to exchange for Costa, he was shocked. He didn't expect Wen Sheng to take such a risk. This was clearly determined to take down his Chelsea.
Manchester City's changes are very significant. Their two full-backs are under pressure. On the contrary, the two midfielders Casemiro and Fernandinho did not test the pressure at Chelsea in the first half. Mourinho originally thought that Manchester City would have to cross. After all, Dzeko, the high center forward, is there, but Manchester City does not do all this. They often use ground balls to give the ball to the forward and then rely on the forward to make the ball.
Manchester City's moves made Mourinho unresponsive, and he also caught Chelsea players off guard. In the 51st minute, Walker and De Bruyne made a short pass and then suddenly accelerated to sprint. Azpilicueta's speed could not keep up with Walker, and he didn't have time to react. Walker made a cross after the bottom.
Dzeko and Terry competed for the top, but neither of them met the ball, but Zuma in the middle failed to keep up with Suarez's pace, and Suarez successfully reached the top.
The ball was quite straightforward and Chelsea's defense was completely disrupted by Walker's rush.
Wen Sheng jumped up happily on the sidelines and the gambling was successful!
A careful analysis of this goal, the benefits of changing the lineup were one of the tacit cooperation between Walker and De Bruyne, and the pass was in place. Walker was more forward than in the first half and was more determined to sprint. The second advantage was that there were two centers in the middle, and when they pressed into Chelsea's penalty area together, the opponent was losing sight of one and the other.
Of course, Walker's pass is also very commendable. First, he did not stick the ball. In fact, after he passed Azpilicueta, he had another choice, which was to cut in the bottom bottom. He already had room to cut in, but it was a very correct decision that he did not choose to do that, because his speed made Chelsea's defense line lag behind him. If he chose to cut in, it is likely that Chelsea's defensive formation would be in place in a short time, and he would not be able to pass at that time, so it is best to throw Azpilicueta away from him with speed and immediately upload it. Second, this kid's pass is accurate, and the arc height drops are very good.
Of course, the two forwards are also worthy of praise. Dzeko may have realized that there is Suarez behind him. He ran forward and pulled Terry away. Suarez really appeared behind him.
The fans of Stamford Bridge were briefly stunned and booed loudly. The team's boss Abramovich rubbed his face and was extremely disappointed with the goal loss, so he patted his thighs even more!
Mourinho was in a bad mood. Facing an opponent who was willing to go wild, he didn't have many tricks to deal with it. He had deliberately made the team pay attention to the wing defense, but Walker's speed became the most critical factor. No matter how careful Azpilicueta was, he would inevitably suffer such torture.
After conceding the ball, Manchester City still used this style of play, but because this style of play itself is risky, the gap behind the two full-backs is easily exploited. Mourinho also consciously asked Remi to move on the side, and the game also accelerated for a while. The two sides were very lively.
This timing is a great opportunity for Hazard and William, but compared to Hazard's condition in the second half in the first half, he had become a little uncomfortable. Both dribblings were intercepted by Manchester City in time.
After 65 minutes, Manchester City began to slow down the offensive rhythm. Suarez's position began to retreat. The team had a tactic of possessing the ball. Suarez had not scored in two games. Today, he broke the short ball drought and played more relaxed. At the beginning, he was used to dribbling the ball when he played the second striker, but Wensheng quickly greeted him on the sidelines not to dribble the ball.
He also has a very good dribbling ability. He has staged many good shows of riding alone in Liverpool. If it was another game, Wen Sheng wouldn't mind him doing this, but today it's not possible. This victory is really important to the team, and Suarez also has to serve the team's tactics.
Manchester City's tactic is to control and reduce ball exchanges. What Suarez should do most is not to put himself at risk, but to assist the entire team in controlling the ball, so he must keep running and sending the ball to a safe position.
Suarez followed Wensheng's advice and reduced the time the ball was under his feet, and Manchester City's control began to smooth out.
Mourinho really doesn't have many ways to do this. Chelsea's defense is already very good, but don't forget that Manchester City's defense actually conceded fewer goals in the league than them. What's more commendable is that Manchester City's ability to shoot goals on the back line is obviously stronger than Chelsea's side, which Mourinho is very envious of this.
What Chelsea can do now is wait slowly and evacuate its formation a little to lure Manchester City to attack into its hinterland. Only in this way can the ball change and Chelsea get a chance. Otherwise, the tighter the defensive formation, Manchester City will never force an attack. They will pass the ball safely to the feet of their backcourt players!
It sounds disgusting, well, it is indeed disgusting, but Mourinho knows that Wensheng will definitely do this!
Chapter completed!
