The match between the two teams has begun.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines at the beginning and watched the game seriously. On the other hand, Mourinho sat steadily in his position, as if he didn't care about the game at all. The live commentator Berbart worried about this, "It seems that Mourinho is more confident..."

George Woodgate also said, "Wan Sheng has always been very serious about the game, but looking at Mourinho's appearance, he is sure to win!"

Wan Sheng and Mourinho are the focus of the game. Both head coaches are very attracted to their attention. Naturally, after the game begins, there are still many media who pay attention to their differences. Many media commented on the different performances of the two. The general meaning is that "Morinoa looks very confident, Wan Sheng is very worried about the game."

However, with the retirement of time, such comments gradually decreased.

Mourinho's brow frowned, all the ease on his face disappeared, and then he also walked to the sidelines and watched the game seriously.

At this time, his expressions and Wansheng were almost the same.

Reflecting on the field, Chelsea and Manchester City did not gain any advantage in the game. Mourinho was surprised to find that Manchester City did not play a gorgeous offensive as he imagined, but instead played very firmly - the formation was stable, the cooperation was stable, and the advancement was stable.

Anyway, one son - stable!

This also makes Chelsea unable to take the initiative in the game, because Manchester City is firmly in control for most of the time.

What Mourinho told the players was to let them defend tightly to deal with Manchester City's gorgeous offensive with defense, but Manchester City has been controlling the ball. The offense is passed after the formation is advanced, and it will not attack rashly. Most of the passes are still in their own half. In this way, even if Chelsea successfully defended in their own half, there will be no chance. Manchester City has enough time to retreat all of them.

Manchester City played very steadily and did not give Chelsea any chance at all.

Then Chelsea was passive.

Because they are mainly defending and are "passive" to strive for the initiative. If Manchester City attacks a large scale, they can take the initiative in turn. However, most of the ball control is in the hands of Manchester City, so they have no initiative. Sometimes they even have to suppress some to grab the ball, otherwise they can only watch Manchester City pass through the ball in their own half.

Such a playing style is really...so despicable!

After seeing two Manchester City centre-backs passing each other five consecutive feet, Mourinho turned to the fourth official and said viciously, "They are playing negatively!"

The fourth official shrugged.

He is not a person who doesn't understand the ball. Instead, he has watched so many games and is very familiar with football tactics. The current situation is in his mind. Chelsea is waiting for a defensive counterattack. Manchester City is not in a hurry to attack and has more time to control the ball. However, in any case, passing more balls in his half is not considered a foul. There is no such thing as "offensive timeout" in the football game.

Chelsea doesn't take the initiative to steal it, who's the blame?

At the beginning of the game, the Fourth Official talked about the game with his friends and felt that Chelsea had a higher winning rate, but now he felt that Manchester City had greater hope.

Look at how calm the young man in the distance, and then look at the guy in front of him, what else would he do except vent his anger on himself?

...

Mourinho was quite surprised, and he was also a little panicked because Manchester City's approach was not in his control.

Not only him, but many media reporters also looked at each other. They don’t understand why Manchester City’s playing style has become so conservative today, and some football commentators are also very excited. They are like they have discovered a new world, "It turns out that Manchester City’s tactics can still be used like this!"

In the eyes of many people, Manchester City's tactics are equated with the "gorgeous offensive" because they will oppress their opponents in every game, and they can achieve extreme offensive suppression in every game, so as to score more goals and win the final game.

But now Manchester City has shown another side - extreme control.

They were constantly controlling the ball, even for five minutes. For five minutes, they didn't shoot a goal, and they kept running and passing it continuously. The transmission seemed very gorgeous, but in fact, the football did not enter the dangerous area of ​​the frontcourt at all. In other words, their purpose was to control the ball, and to really launch an attack, it was to wait for the formation to move forward and make steady progress.

This way of playing gives people a very contradictory feeling, because you can't say that Manchester City has no offensive, because most of the football is at the feet of Manchester City players, and they will pass the ball to the frontcourt, but they will be quickly passed back when encountering obstacles. You can't say that they play negatively, because the game is still very good. Manchester City's continuous transmission and cooperation is a highlight in itself, which is enough to attract the attention of many fans.

Some football commentators can only use a contradictory word to describe it, "conservative offense!"

The offense is not conservative, but now Manchester City gives people the feeling that it is very conservative. They do not take the initiative to take risks to launch an offensive. Instead, every attack is very stable, which makes it difficult for Chelsea to play.

They played the game as the coach told me, and they wanted to stabilize the defense in the backcourt, but the result was that for a long time, they couldn't even touch the ball. It has been more than 10 minutes since the game started, like their two full-backs, and they have not even touched the ball.

Facing Manchester City's pass control in their half, they have no good idea. If they press in front of the formation, it will not be in line with their tactics. If they don't do this, they can only watch their opponents play the ball. This feeling is very depressing. The two teams are playing, but the game seems to belong to Manchester City.

Their frontcourt players, Drogba, Joe Cole and others, also tried to press in the past... Then they became the center of the "Monkey Walking" activity. Manchester City players are simply too good at passing. Their daily personal training and collective tactical training are inseparable from passing. Now, there are many people in the backcourt on the court, and Chelsea only has two or three players. It is strange that they can snatch the ball from the Manchester City players' feet.

In short, Chelsea played very depressed.

On the other hand, Manchester City players feel very good. They didn't expect that they would have such a good effect by playing tactics more conservatively.

Until now, they have not posed too much threat to Chelsea goal, but they feel that the game is easy because Chelsea has not attacked at all, and football is at their feet for most of the time, and they have always taken the initiative in the game.

In the past, they had to worry about their own defense when they attacked. They had to retreat quickly, but now they didn't need to. They can follow the overall formation and advance steadily. Although the efficiency of a steady attack will be lower, their formation will be stable and their defense will be very stable, and the chance of mistakes will become very small.

In the current game, they can keep steady and look for opportunities slowly, without worrying about how Chelsea is going.

So they felt very relaxed and continued to carry out pass activities, which made Chelsea very passive in the situation.

After 20 minutes of the game, Sky TV commentator George Woodgate released the previous statistics, "So far, Manchester City's ball possession rate has reached 73%, Chelsea only 27%, and Manchester City's shots have two shots, one shot at the goal frame. Chelsea only once, and it has not created a threat..."

"From the data, Manchester City has an absolute advantage!"

"Chelsea is completely at a disadvantage. Maybe Mourinho should do something, otherwise they won't have any chance if this continues."

Of course Mourinho can see that the situation is very unfavorable to Chelsea. The current situation is that Manchester City takes the initiative. It is difficult for Chelsea to get the ball. Manchester City has a tight defense, and it is difficult to have a chance even if they get the ball. The most important thing is to control the ball. Chelsea does not have the ability to control the ball. They quickly launch an attack when they get the ball, and then the football will soon return to Manchester City's feet. They start to pass and control again, and then Chelsea continues to passively.

In fact, it is not easy for Manchester City to score goals in such a game. Just like the previous statistics, Manchester City only had one shot in the goal frame in the 20th minute, but the players of the two teams on the court had absolutely different feelings.

Manchester City players will feel that they play very easily. Chelsea players feel completely opposite. They play passively and stuffy, which will affect the morale of the two teams and the performance of the two teams in the near future.

Even if you don't consider this, Mourinho wants to win.

Now Manchester City ranks first in the league and wants to regain the first place, they can only win in the game.

Manchester City can accept a draw, but Chelsea can't.

But Mourinho knew that he could not change his tactical style temporarily, and that would not have any other effect except for giving it to the phone.

So now he can only worry.

Then soon the fourth official's ears were bombarded again, "They are playing negatively! Look, they were almost passing in the backcourt for a minute..."

...

Manchester City doesn't care what Mourinho said, it won't affect them at all, because there is no football rule that does not allow too many passes in their own half. Instead, they enjoy the feeling of passing unscrupulously in the game, especially there are always excellent forwards like Drogba to help them enjoy the art of passing... They feel very good.

They have more confidence in the game and are more powerful in implementing tactics.

Wan Sheng has long emphasized that the core of the style of play is not passing the ball, but launching an attack.

Passing and controlling are the most basic, but passing and controlling alone cannot win. To win, you must have goals.

Mourinho believes that Manchester City can accept a draw, but in fact, there is only victory in Wan Sheng's heart, especially at Manchester Stadium. If everyone wants to "go to draw", what about the Stamford Bridge Stadium? Do you have to surrender?

Forget it!

It is necessary to strive for victory!

Winning can bring down the league points. The team will face a lot less point pressure, which is quite beneficial to Manchester City's winning form, so Wan Sheng always thinks of winning. His explanation of the game also emphasized the core point, "We have to launch an attack on the left and right roads, and they would never have imagined that we would do this!"

Not to mention that Chelsea could not have imagined it, Manchester City players themselves could not have imagined it.

When it comes to the team's weaknesses, any Manchester City player can know that it is a wing, because there is no absolute regular player on the wing, David Silva, Reiner and others are all guest appearances as full-time forwards, and Sinclair's skills are very average. The reason why he can always be because the team has no other wing forwards.

Musampa returned from injury, alleviating the embarrassment of no one in the wing forward. Ivan Kru transferred to the team, but it took him a while to adapt to the game. The team's wing is still very embarrassing, so no one could have thought that Wansheng would let the team launch an offensive on the left and right sides.

However, Manchester City launched an offensive, not directly attacking, but advancing steadily. They did not show the intention of playing the wing as the core. Instead, Morris continued to organize the offense in the middle, which also gave Chelsea players an illusion - just as they thought, Manchester City would still launch an offense in the middle, and Morris was the core point of Manchester City's organization.

So their defense against Morris became tighter, and then the two full-backs, Musampa and David Silva, felt more relaxed.

...

David Silva is an all-round player. His average number of data has reached 90. This data is quite gorgeous. If he can adapt, it will be enough to ensure that he plays well in various positions.

David Silva is quite adaptable to the wings because he often plays this position in the previous games.

Wan Sheng hopes to train David Silva to become the core of the organization, but before that, he was still more suitable on the wing because David Silva's dribbling and passing ability are excellent. Even compared with Van der Fate last season, he knows from the data that he will be a very outstanding assist player.

In this game, Wan Sheng also hoped that David Silva could show his abilities. He gave David Silva the greatest freedom - he could choose to dribble or pass the ball, try to find opportunities to create threats, etc.

David Silva knew that Wan Sheng valued him, so he became even more excited and excited. He remembered Wan Sheng’s advice to him and played very steadily in the game, and there was no problem with his left side.

At the same time, David Silva also wanted to find opportunities to perform because he had great freedom, and Wan Sheng also emphasized that the team should look for opportunities from the wing.

Like David Silva's idea, other Manchester City players are also looking for opportunities. For example, as the core of the midfield, Morris, he has great respect for Wan Sheng, so he will strictly implement Wan Sheng's tactics.

Wan Sheng talked about looking for opportunities from the side road, so Morris kept paying attention to the side road.

When he got the ball again and noticed that the team's midfield had already pressed, Morris passed the ball.

He was near the center circle and he passed the ball to the front left.

There is David Silva.

David Silva got the ball, and he was still a little far from the penalty area line. He would choose to pass the ball out when he got the ball here before, but this time, there was no one around him, so he was ready to dribble the ball by himself.

He suddenly started and ran forward ten meters in a few steps!

Almost at the same time, the pace of the game also increased faster. It was slow just now, but now it suddenly accelerated. The situation became very tense. The media, fans, and commentators all followed the nerves, just as time in the whole world suddenly accelerated.

David Silva didn't know that his approach would have such a big impact. At this time, he had already dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.
Chapter completed!
