376. Blues Chelsea 2
Mourinho dared not be 100% sure Kompani was injured. In Mourinho's eyes, people like Wen Sheng are people who use any means to win.
Think about what kind of Wensheng team has never used it in the past few years. I tried to anger myself a few days ago. Now I will give you another trick before the game. No matter how the effect is, don’t believe too much in Wensheng’s bottom line.
"Don't worry about this matter, follow our own plan!" Mourinho made a decision unmoved.
Wen Sheng really didn't mean to cheat Mourinho. Kompani was really injured. The injury I suffered yesterday was of course not a major injury, but just some pain in the thigh. It was probably because of a little strain during training and the pain was not very severe. This means that the injury would be relatively mild, and it might be possible to recover in two or three days or a week.
It's really a bit more absolute, and it's not impossible to play if you're closed.
But Wensheng would definitely not do this.
"Why do you need to use a scoundrel to kill a chicken?" Wensheng joked to Kompani, "Where are you, have a good rest for a day or two, let's see how we are doing this game!"
Kompani was also in the locker room. Morais didn't have the nerve to open the door and go and take a look. It was really hard to find that Kompani was not wearing a jersey.
It was not until the two teams came to the player channel and were about to appear that Morais saw Kompani wearing casual clothes to cheer up his teammates.
But this is no longer important.
......
"Dear fans, good evening. Today we bring you the highlight of the 24th round of the Premier League. Blue Moon Manchester City will play against the Blues Chelsea at home! Before this game, Manchester City scored 59 points in 23 rounds, ranking first. Chelsea also completed 23 rounds of games and ranked third. The points gap between the two sides is 9 points. This game should be a key battle to stop Manchester City from progressing! It is very interesting! Now the players on both sides have arrived on the court! Let me introduce the appearance list of both sides first!"
"They are wearing light blue jerseys. The roster they gave today is 433, goalkeeper Navas, right back Kyle Walker, center back partner Van Dijk and Albiol, left back Hills, midfielder consists of Wan Yama, Dembele and Kroos, and forward positions are Silva, Dembruyne and Aguero."
"Wearing a dark blue jersey is the visiting team Chelsea. The list they gave today is 4231, goalkeeper Cech, right back Ivanovic, center back partner is Terry and Cahill, left back Azpilica, and midfielder David Luis and Mikel are partnered with the attacking midfielder. The attacking midfielder is composed of Ramirez, Hazard, William, and Etoo is headed at the arrow position."
"Guide Zhang, can you briefly tell us about the arrangements of the two sides?!"
Brother Jun introduced the starting lineups of both sides in one breath, and the next step was Coach Zhang's work.
Director Zhang did not talk about the first release first, but made a joke first.
"The Liverpool mission was completed well in the previous round, and successfully blocked Manchester City. Now the mission to block Manchester City has come to Chelsea again. Whether the Premier League will be interesting next depends on Chelsea!"
The situation is not as serious as Director Zhang said, but it is a bit certain. Since Chelsea lost this game, teams below him have basically declared that this season has been in chaos. Just kidding the difference of 12 points and 4 wins, this kind of thing will not happen to the cautious Manchester City.
After making such a joke, Director Zhang then analyzed the appearance of both sides. The commentators were not long after they got the list. It was almost impossible to fully guess the intentions of the head coaches of both sides, but they could still figure it out in general.
"Wen Shengli also adopted a relatively conservative attitude today. He probably did not set up a front midfielder. Wan Yama and Dembele partner can guarantee their backfield defense! They probably will still focus on control and play positional battles, but he gave Aguero the answer in the frontcourt, which is a bit incomprehensible. Aguero is at a disadvantage in physical confrontation!"
"Well, Douglas Costa and Chamberlain both sat on the bench and did not start!" Brother Jun added.
If Manchester City really wants to talk about the explosive points, Costa is the first and he can break the most, but he is placed on the bench. Brother Jun guessed that this shows a problem. Wensheng must have expected that Chelsea will not give Manchester City players too much gap and space in this game. Costa may not be able to play, so it would be better not to let him play.
For the head coach, the team needs players with different characteristics, and each game is also a game of moves. Wen Sheng gave up the chess piece of Costa, and the purpose is to be a positional battle article. Director Zhang analyzed that Brother Jun agrees very much.
Coach Zhang is not sure what Manchester City is holding on, but Chelsea's starting lineup is too purposeful.
"Hehe, Chelsea has discharged a muscle-man combination!" Director Zhang smiled.
"Yes, the four major central defenders start at the same time!" Brother Jun also laughed.
"Probably Mourinho can do such a thing. They want to gain the upper hand in physical confrontation and curb Manchester City's offensive momentum!" Director Zhang commented.
Defensive counterattack is Mourinho's basic national policy!
Mourinho knew this game very well, so he was not that stupid. He played against Manchester City, so he wanted to fight back with defensively.
Speaking of personal skills, Chelsea players may not be worse than Manchester City players, but when combined together, Chelsea is undoubtedly much weaker in control. In addition, Manchester City is best at making crosses and controls in the backcourt under the guidance of Wen Sheng, and Chelsea cannot do it in the backcourt.
The two commentators talked about the mountains. The ceremony before the game on the court had ended, and Chris Foy blew the whistle.
Chris Foy is already very old and he was selected as the referee of this game. Anyway, Mourinho is quite unhappy.
Mourinho is best at deducting this detail all day long. Foy is not so friendly to Chelsea. According to statistics, Foy's average red card in Premier League games is 0.17, but in 7 games, the Blues gave Chelsea 4 red cards.
If Mourinho is satisfied with such past history, it is called a ghost, but Mourinho still restrained himself before the game. However, if Foy's law enforcement is controversial in this game, then Mourinho will be called a ghost if Mourinho doesn't get angry after the game.
Foy whistle, Chelsea, who played away, took the lead in kicking the ball. The players from Manchester City immediately defended at a high position. Chelsea really couldn't control the rhythm. The ball went to the backcourt and moved to the side and immediately kicked the ball. Unfortunately, Ivanovic's kicking level still needs to be improved, so the ball was given directly to Manchester City.
In less than a minute, Chelsea's muscular men's midfielder Ramirez knocked down Dembele, who was in possession, and was sentenced to a foul by Foy.
Mourinho stocked up on the midfielder today such as Ramirez, Mikel, and David Luis. Ramirez is fine to play as a front midfielder. This Brazilian not only has a strong defense, with a large coverage area, but also has quite good skills. He is also very skilled in a long shot.
Mourinho pushed him in the frontcourt, saying that it was not just about letting him do the job of threading needles, but about him allowing the backcourt control to be released.
Chapter completed!
