313. Do you have a waist?

Mourinho's response was very fast, and Chelsea quickly changed its strategy. The forward only harassed Manchester City's backcourt control, retreated quite quickly, and built a defensive wall near the center circle.

Mourinho and Klopp have learned a lot and want to make a fuss through active interception in the midfield. However, today's Manchester City is not Manchester City that day. With Wen Sheng's deliberate arrangement, once they are exposed to the opponent's resistance in the middle circle, there is no suitable pass space and there is nothing to say, just pass back.

When Kuan Ge was in Real Madrid in his previous life, he claimed to be the prince of returning the return. He was a good show and the return pass! It was very excessive!

Today Wensheng also made such a request to him. Brother Kuan didn’t do this often in Bayern Munich before, but it doesn’t mean he can’t. In fact, Brother Kuan is Brother Kuan after all, and if he changes his coach, Brother Kuan is good at doing this job.

Chelsea not only acted quickly in interception, but also ruthless. Lampard soon received a yellow card in the midfield. In the 8th minute, he received a yellow card because he hooked Cross behind him.

After ten minutes of the game, the ball rights were not exchanged as frequently as everyone imagined. It took a long time for Manchester City to launch an attack. Because they are suppressing the overall situation and resolutely playing positional battles, it is not easy for Chelsea to fight back.

It is not what Mourinho thought to play positional battles. Chelsea faces a lot of resistance in positional battles. It is not necessary to say that Manchester City's interception ability is a very tough person.

Especially when Hazard got the ball, Manchester City immediately went up to grab it. Hazard didn't pass the ball. He led it alone and both times he fell into a siege and lost the ball.

Manchester City had a more threatening pass. In the 7th minute, Manchester City played a very beautiful team football in Chelsea’s half and tore open the Chelsea defense line. Unfortunately, Aguero’s counter-offside failed to get the ball, otherwise Chelsea’s chance of conceding the ball is very likely.

In the 11th minute, Chelsea completed its first shot. After Hazard dribbled the ball, he made a diagonal pass, Torres ran and shot at a small angle. His pace was not adjusted properly, and his shot missed a lot.

Wensheng stood on the sidelines calmly, and he was not in a hurry. It would be good if he could get a point anyway.

Manchester City gradually took the initiative, and Mourinho used his own bus counterattack tactic.

Mourinho was very anxious on the sidelines, but Is there any way? Chelsea's midfielder actually has the running responsibility. Ramirez has been running up and down since the start of the game, and is very active.

But how can he resist Manchester City alone? Manchester City's lineup is quite strange. The midfield and backcourt are tall and strong. Wan Yama and Dembele are strong in both the backcourts. Milner, Van Dijk, and Kompany are not strong on the backcourt?! Even Hills's body is much stronger than when Wen Sheng first met him, and his strength is also very strong.

In this way, Chelsea's midfield and frontcourt suffered a physical loss in physical confrontation. Manchester City was under a suppression state, and it was difficult for Chelsea to score Manchester City's half.

The fans of Stamford Bridge certainly don’t want to see the scene in front of them, but there is nothing they can do. They don’t understand why Manchester City can gain an advantage in control. All they can do is to scold Manchester City players in the stands.

The deadlock in the game was broken in the 43rd minute. Dembele's sudden midfield started, caught Chelsea off guard. Chelsea's defensive system was confused by him. In the end, Dembele passed the ball, Aguero counterattacked and passed the ball, and Silva hit an empty goal without anyone defending, helping Manchester City, who played away, take the lead.

Dembele did not intend to advance himself. This trick was said by Wen Sheng before the game. It was a craftsmanship in details. Dembele only tried twice in the first half. Maybe Chelsea thought this was just Dembele's personal behavior, so he accidentally did it and did not pay attention to it. As a result, he didn't expect that the first half would end and it was a big trouble.

Mourinho cursed angrily, saying that the responsibility for the ball was Ramirez. He was too fury and went up to grab the ball but couldn't get it back, giving Dembele an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Manchester City entered the second half with a 1-0 lead.

The two sides had the same number of shots in the first half, and it was not so easy for Manchester City to find opportunities, and it was even more difficult for Chelsea to do so. They only completed 5 shots.

But in other data, Chelsea is completely below. Whether it is ball possession rate or steals and interceptions, they are much worse than Manchester City, and even have fewer fouls than Manchester City.

After the second half of the game, Mourinho still insisted on his tactics, Wen Sheng had no reason to make adjustments, and Manchester City still firmly took the initiative.

However, Manchester City in the second half was more daring to make moves and cooperate at the front of Chelsea’s penalty area than in the first half. The success rate was not very high. However, Chelsea lacked players who made the ball in the backcourt, and the ball was not very smooth. It would be a long pass to the frontcourt. It could not compete with Manchester City’s body in the frontcourt, and the short pass missed the opportunity to fight, and turned the counterattack into a positional battle.

Mourinho finally changed, and he instructed Hazard to retreat. The King of Balls frequently started to retreat and respond from 60 minutes. The King of Balls may not be in good shape, but after all, he is the King of Balls, and dribbling skills are really amazing.

The effect of his retreat is still very obvious, at least there is a connection point between Chelsea's backcourt and the front line.

Chelsea also made several very good counterattacks, and Torres almost broke through Manchester City's goal.

Wensheng stood on the sidelines and reminded his frontcourt offensive players to be cautious and not risk taking the ball. Let's take the time to take action!

In addition, he called Wan Yama around him, asking him to pester Hazard specifically, so that Milner would not put too much pressure on him.

But this trick is still not very effective. Hazard is too alive. He is not a fool. He acts like a free agent. It is still a bit troublesome to make Manchester City defend, especially Xuerle on the other side is also very fast. His restraint makes Manchester City have to distract themselves from taking care of them in defense.

Fortunately, although Hazard is strong, Manchester City can adapt quickly. In addition, the King of Ball has been busy for so long, so his physical fitness is really not up to standard.

The ace player De Bruyne, who is Manchester City, is not giving in too much. Hazard is suffering from no helpers around him, so De Bruyne has more helpers than Hazard. In the 78th minute, De Bruyne received a pass from Kroos, cut into the penalty area from the bottom, and passed back in the back of the triangle. Kroos directly inserted and shot, accurately hitting the Chelsea goal, helping Manchester City lead Chelsea 2-0.

This goal seriously hit Chelsea's morale, and Mourinho's defensive strategy was completely broken. What to do? In the previous rounds of games, Chelsea's waist looked no problem, but today when they face Manchester City, commentators will think, "Damn, does Chelsea have a waist?"
Chapter completed!
