149. Blues lose the ball

The style of the Premier League has changed a lot in recent years.

In the past, talking about skills and tactics in the Premier League was a matter of a strong team, and it had nothing to do with mid- and lower-level teams. Teams in a weak position were more monotonous in tactics, and they often just set up a bus to defend. However, the personal strength of a strong team is there. Modern football is increasingly paying attention to detail craftsmanship. These teams cannot be foolproof in defense. Generally, the chance of being strong against weak is not very high.

But in recent years, the lower-level teams have also begun to develop skills and tactics and have begun to pay attention to strategies. It is not that easy for a strong team to deal with them.

For example, in terms of defense, Swansea led by Rodgers is nicknamed Barcelona in the Premier League. He advocates using ball control to limit strong teams to create opportunities and improve the situation where his team's defense is always in danger. This is also a defensive method, which has changed compared to simply placing a bus.

For example, in terms of offense, many coaches are no longer limited to using high-speed combinations stupidly. Everyone also has new ideas to make a fuss about offense and defense conversion, and set up a key first pass player in the midfield to improve the quality of counterattacks.

These changes have been essentially improved from the previous attack methods of the Premier League, whether it is strong or weak teams, flying with both wings. Teams like Manchester City are a little lazy every game and do not study their opponents carefully, and they may capsize.

Manchester United under Ferguson's coach has always been dynamic. He has not sticked to a tactic, but is accustomed to focusing on the two wings. However, he has also put a lot of effort in the middle in the past two seasons.

Arsenal has not won the championship in so many years, and Chelsea's dilemma this season has a lot to do with this environment.

Benitez's change of formation actually found the most correct way to use Hazard, and Wensheng had to be careful.

Be careful to defend Chelsea's counterattack. Manchester City's offense was powerful but fruitless. They crossed to Drogba. Drogba was difficult to grab the point under Cahill's defense. He passed the ball to Drogba on the ground. Drogba turned around and was easily double-teamed. He was okay to make the ball, but Manchester City could only threaten Chelsea's goal from the outside.

In the 57th minute, Wen Sheng finally made a substitution adjustment. Dog Sheng wore a ball to replace Drogba, and Aguero returned to the middle position.

According to the current situation on the court, Wen Sheng can also replace Dzeko with Dzeko to see if Dzeko's condition can change the situation. He can also use Aguero to play in the middle.

Dzeko will definitely transform into a pillar-type center. Aguero is a clever type, and Wensheng just chooses another offensive mode.

Gou Zuo is another Hazard, but Wensheng thinks Gou Zuo has a little more room for play, because Gou Zuo is facing Ivanovic.

Ivanovic's defense ability is not weak at all, but Dog Sutra is the kind of person who can play tricks even in a small space. The direction change speed is extremely fast, and Ivanovic, who is tall and big, may be difficult to keep up.

The coach substitution was at this time. Wen Sheng felt that most of the time was just a chance. He understood the characteristics of the players. Substitution was an adjustment made by him based on the situation on the court, but the players had no choice but to decide what the player's condition was.

Wen Sheng's luck in substitution was good. Gou Sheng had just played for less than three minutes. In the 60th minute, he took advantage of his opponent's unfamiliarity and staged a good show of riding alone on the side. After passing three people in a row, he almost defeated Cech with one kick.

It might be better if Gou Yuan chooses to pass the perimeter, but under Chelsea's intensive defense, his choice is limited, and shooting is just a subconscious action.

Benitez had an ominous premonition. Manchester City's main attacking ball was sent to Dog Sheng when he wanted to send it to him. Hazard, who was on his side, always restricted the passes to him. Unless Hazard retreated deeply, he would get rid of Manchester City's siege. But in this way, Hazard's chance of playing is as great as Dog Sheng?!

In the 65th minute, Gou Zuo was still trying to pass by on the side. Ivanovic stepped back into the penalty area and narrowed the distance with his teammates. Gou Zuo was not in a hurry. Who knew that at this moment, Krish quickly inserted into the ghostly. Gou Zuo understood and passed it straight. Krish cut into the ground from the bottom and made a cross. Aguero deliberately missed. Silva, who followed in the middle, calmly pushed the ball, and the ball was sent into the Chelsea goal and wiped the net in the right side.

Wen Sheng breathed a long sigh, feeling a little proud. He believed that Manchester City's offensive method at the beginning of the second half was to find Drogba through a cross. This habit may have confused Chelsea defender, causing Manchester City to turn to the ground and quickly pass the Chelsea defense line to be unable to adapt.

Benitez is very depressed. Chelsea's defense problems are like this. I suddenly missed such a living person. It is said that Cahill can go up and block Crish's route. It is said that someone should be watching him. Unfortunately, no one did this, and Silva shot very easily.

When Chelsea players realize that this kind of defense seems to be useless against Manchester City, everyone will definitely not focus on defense anymore and will definitely find ways to attack.

Wen Shengben didn't want to attack the bus. Chelsea had such signs, which was a good thing, so what annoyed Benitez was that Chelsea actually occupied the ball and began to launch a positional attack on Manchester City.

Hazard began to become active, but he really didn't help the team very much. In the end, his choice was to get close to the goal or pass the ball.

Manchester City has a relatively high tactical execution rate. De Bruyne, as a winger, has come back to help defend. Chelsea has the upper hand now and he comes back to help Sabaleta and others defend.

Lampard played very depressedly. He had known for a long time that Hazard had this style. Without this style, he could not play football. He was a team-type. The centering task was to shoot and pass the ball to the wings. Hazard did this so that he had to put the ball more to Mata's side.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Chelsea's offense was almost the same. Lampard was the shooter and Hazard was away from the team. Dembaba could only rely on Mata, Lampard, Ramirez and others to make the ball for him. However, Manchester City was very aggressive in defense and did not give them the chance to get the ball well. Chelsea got several set-piece opportunities, and it was meaningless to have too far.

On the other hand, Manchester City's counterattack was very exciting. He just said that Cahill was not good enough and David Louis was not good, but they intercepted Manchester City's counterattack several times in the stage after conceding the ball. If it weren't for their reasons, the suspense of this game would have ended long ago.

Chelsea still couldn't escape punishment after all. In the 84th minute, Nasri and Silva, who came on as substitutes, and Aguero made a wonderful cooperation in Chelsea's penalty area, shot. Cech failed to react and Manchester City won another goal.

With two goals leading, Chelsea's morale plummeted. After that, Benitez replaced Dembaba with Torres and replaced Mata with Oscar, but still failed to save the defeat.
