After Morris finished the goal, Manchester City Club chairman Wadel in the VIP box suddenly stood up, raised his arms and cheered, not caring about the frown brows next to him.

"It's really annoying." Abramovich thought.

A bodyguard stepped forward and stood between Abramovich and Wadel, as if he wanted to help Abramovich block the "noise" made by Wadel. Of course, this probably wouldn't have any effect, but the smug face of Wadel might make Abramovich feel a little better, but his face was still gloomy and scary.

Abramovich was in a bad mood.

Abramovich is still looking forward to Chelsea's results this season, especially after signing German captain Barack in May and introducing Andre Shepchenko, in the eyes of the Russians, Chelsea is no weaker than any giant club, and is even stronger than a "small club" like Manchester City.

Although Manchester City defeated Chelsea to win the league championship last season, as the media said, that was just an accident, because Chelsea's performance was not bad, and the results of the usual season were enough to win the league championship, but Manchester City performed better, but their advantage was that only the league can be played, and Chelsea still had the Champions League to be held. It is definitely better to focus on both sides, so Manchester City has the opportunity to win the league championship.

This is the media's view on Manchester City's championship in the summer, which also made Abramovich nod and agreed with her heart.

This season is different.

Chelsea's lineup is more gorgeous than last season, while Manchester City has almost no changes. It has sold the team captain and main wing forward. Speaking of which, Manchester City's strength has declined. With one increase and the other decrease, Chelsea will definitely have more advantages than Manchester City.

Abramovich also believes that what the media said makes sense. Perhaps Chelsea's competitor this season will not be Manchester City, but traditional giants such as Manchester City and Arsenal.

So Abramovich is full of expectations for this first round of matchup with Manchester City.

But the game doesn't seem to be like this. Chelsea attacked for a long time and failed to score a goal. Shepchenko, who he is optimistic about, has almost done nothing, and Manchester City scored a goal with a counterattack. Judging from the current situation, it seems that Manchester City still has the intention to control the game, which is really different from the big victory he expected.

Abramovich came here not to see a failure, he was imaginable at this time.

He needs victory, preferably a big victory. That way, he can show that as the club chairman, he brings the role of stars to the team. Otherwise, he will invest so much money, but it will be wasted? Then others will laugh at him, "Look at that Russian. He spent hundreds of millions of euros to build a team, which is not even as good as Manchester City with a total value of less than 100 million." He will become a laughing stock in Europe, and perhaps even some Chelsea fans will think so, because the gap between his investment and income in the team is too big.

Abramovich was in a worse mood when he thought of these things.

The cheers from Wadel next to him kept reminding him about this, as if saying, "Look. My Manchester City hasn't invested anything at all, but now it's ahead of Chelsea, which has invested hundreds of millions of euros."

Seeing Manchester City cheering on the court again, Abramovich's face became more and more gloomy, and his fingers were pinched hard.

...

Chelsea coach Mourinho on the court, including all Chelsea players, looked bad. They had the upper hand at the beginning of the game. They never expected that Manchester City would be the first to score.

Among the players, Lampard was in the worst mood.

Just now, Lampard was still thinking about competing with Mores, and thought that his personal ability was better than Morris, but now Morris scored a goal based on his personal ability. Lampard and Barack and Carvalho are teammates, and they are very clear about their defensive ability. In addition, goalkeeper Cech's ability is also recognized by the whole team. Because of this, Lampard knew how difficult it was to get rid of Barack 1v1 and deceive Carvalho and Cech and score the ball, at least he could not do it. But Morris did it, what did this prove?

"Is that guy's personal ability better than mine?" Lampard's heart was shaken. He knew that at least so far, his performance could not keep up with Morris.

However, as a top player, Lampard quickly adjusted his mindset and prepared to deal with the next game. The game has not been halfway through yet, and it is not something professional players should do because of this.

The game started again soon.

At this time, the players on the court have adapted to the game, and Manchester City's cooperation has gradually come out. Every time Manchester City's attack, they can play a series of cooperation. This cooperation is dazzling. Even Chelsea, which has a strong defense, is sometimes caught off guard. It is difficult for them to deal with this kind of offensive. Some players' thinking is even a little unsatisfied. They just saw the ball here, and the ball went there later, and they could not defend completely.

In this continuous cooperation, Chelsea players were a little numb.

Many times, Manchester City is not in a hurry to pass the ball forward, but constantly cooperates in the midfield to turn their feet down. They unconsciously relax their vigilance. Then Manchester City suddenly launched a fast offensive. This change in rhythm is very uncomfortable, and they can't keep up. As a result, many of Manchester City's offensives will pose some threat to Chelsea goal.

What makes Chelsea players the most headache is Manchester City's possession. The football has always been at Manchester City's feet, and it is very difficult for them to grab it.

So in order to maintain a stable defense, they had to shrink their defense line.

At the beginning of the game, they used their home advantage and momentum to push Manchester City to the half, and now they play very passively.

Even if head coach Mourinho knows that facing Manchester City's offensive, he needs to strengthen harder defense and more running, he wants to do so, and the players need to play on their own. Chelsea still needs time to adapt.

Barcelona is now the same way as Manchester City plays in the whole of Europe.

Some people say that Wan Sheng 'plagiarized' Barcelona's tactics, but in fact, the top coaches can still see the difference after watching the two teams' games. The main difference between the two teams' tactics is that they have different centers of gravity. Manchester City prefers to change the rhythm. They use the sudden change of rhythm to find opportunities, while Barcelona focuses on control, and they keep turning their feet backwards. Even passing them to the backcourt, but Manchester City does not do much.

If you want to say which style of play has more advantages, there is no way to comment. It can only depend on the performance of the players on the court. In contrast, Barcelona plays more technically and Manchester City plays more directly.

Although it is not as technical as Barcelona, ​​Manchester City's direct rhythm change offensive still makes Chelsea a headache.

It's hard for them to adapt to this transformation.

So Manchester City's offensive is quite threatening.

Passing again and again, quick attacks and shots in front of the goal keep Chelsea busy dealing with it. Although their offense is also good, as the game time passes, Chelsea still plays much more passively.

At this time, the media who shouted before the game that they thought Chelsea would "win" stopped talking.

They were surprised.

In their opinion, after Chelsea replenished the lineup in the summer, they should be stronger, but Manchester City still suppressed Chelsea, especially at Stamford Bridge Stadium. They were surprised by this.

The most important player at Manchester City is undoubtedly midfielder Morris.

Morris also performed well last season, but he was definitely not as good as this game. He could perform so well against the German captain, Portugal's main central defender and young national goalkeeper Cech. With the goal just now, it is almost certain that Morris will be the best player in this game.

But one Morris cannot lead the entire team. Overall, every player in Manchester City performs well.

For example, the young central defender Kopelle Ferreira, Ivan Kreu on the side, Downing on the middle, David Silva, who was partnered with Morris in the middle, etc., these players performed very well alone, and it was precisely because of these many players who performed well that Manchester City could play in a continuous and exquisite cooperation.

The most surprising thing is that among these players, except Tang Ning, almost all others were mined by the Chinese.

It's really amazing

How could this Chinese have such a good vision?

Every player he values ​​will perform well. Is this the legendary mysterious magic from the East?

In the surprised eyes of many people looking at Wan Sheng, the game time was consumed little by little. Although Chelsea played a little passively in the second half of the first half, they still held the goal when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the half.

The first half ended with:1.

The players of both teams all breathed a long sigh, and many people sat directly on the grass.

No matter which team it is very tired to play such a high-intensity game. Many of the players who run a lot don’t want to use it while sitting on the grass and moving. They waited for their teammates to pull them up and then slowly walked back to the locker room.

Chelsea coach Mourinho returned to the locker room early.

Chelsea is one goal behind at home, and it is not easy to catch it back, but Mourinho is considering defense. In the opinion of the Portuguese, it is possible to tie the score by relying on a lot of offense, but what next time? What next time? They will still play passively when they fight with Manchester City, and it is still difficult to gain an advantage on the field, and they will still have a headache for Manchester City's offense.

So he needs to see something in the direct fight and know how to deal with Manchester City's offensive. This is the most important thing.

Even if you lose the ball, you know how to play against Manchester City. The future games will be easy to deal with, and that will be completely worth it. After all, this is a league, not a cup game that determines the outcome. The two teams have to fight twice in the league. If they lose this time, they will win back next time. What's more, Chelsea is not without opportunities in offense, but they just don't have as many threats as Manchester City plays.

Mourinho was paced in the locker room.

The players who just entered the locker room all lowered their heads and didn't say anything because they knew that when they were behind, the head coach was in a bad mood, but no one wanted to get angry at this time.

At this moment, Carvalho and Mendes pushed the goal in. Carvalho was still talking about the goal. He explained, "I wanted to make an offside at that time. If he (Morris) passed the ball, Anelka would have been offside, but he didn't expect that he chose to shoot. I remember that he would pass the ball a lot in the past."

Mourinho looked at Carvalho in front of the door.

Carvalho was startled and hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head to walk into the locker room. At this time, Mourinho asked, "What did you say just now?"

"Nothing, wavess."

"No, just what you said just now, offside?"

Carvalho explained in a low voice, as if he was afraid that the head coach would get angry, "Yes, I was talking to Thiago about their goal, I wanted Anelka to offside, but Morris actually shot, he wasn't like this last season."

Mourinho nodded, and he suddenly had an idea to try it.

That is offside.

If we can use offside to squeeze Manchester City's offensive space, the team's formation will be pulled out at that time, and while limiting the opponent's offense, the offensive will be more powerful.

As long as the opponent's offensive can be successfully restricted, the situation will be beneficial to Chelsea.

There are risks in doing this. If you fail to succeed in offside, it will be a good opportunity for Manchester City. But now Chelsea is already behind. In any case, there is no worse result than playing ugly games and losing.

This is the best way Mourinho has thought of dealing with Manchester City!

If Manchester City is allowed to attack, then Manchester City's style of play will definitely suppress Chelsea and be squeezed into his own half. Chelsea will be passive in attack and defense. If they create offside and open the formation, Chelsea will find the advantage in the situation and the offense will be stronger.

After Mourinho made a decision, he looked at Terry, Carvalho and others. Now he must believe in the tacit understanding of several defensive players of the team.

When he saw Terry, Mourinho's heart became stable.

Terry is the captain of the team. His command is very good and he is still very trustworthy. Carvalho will listen to Terry on the court, and of course other players will follow the command.

So Mourinho gathered all the players and talked about the offside style. Chelsea rarely used this tactic to defend, and now they have to do so.

"But, Boss, we are not proficient." Terry asked in confusion.

Usually they will also create offsides. For example, Morris' goal, Carvalho wants to defend by creating offsides, but the entire defense line will create offsides together and regard this as the main defensive method. They have never tried it.

"It's okay, we can try it. We will play like this in the second half, and you will be responsible for the defense." Mourinho said while patting Terry's shoulder.

Terry suddenly felt that he was carrying a heavy responsibility, so he nodded hard to express his confidence. (To be continued.)
