After the second half of the game started again, all Chelsea players launched a fierce attack towards Manchester City's goal with excitement, and Manchester City was suppressed again for a moment.

But Manchester City is not as passive as the first half start. All players have already adapted to the game and they know how to deal with this offensive reasonably.

It is certain to shrink the defense line, but it cannot completely shrink. Instead, there are tension and relaxation. The players in front of the formation still run back and forth in the middle line back and forth. They form the first line of defense, while the defensive midfielder is in front of the back line, and then the back line is in the back line.

In this way, Manchester City formed the "two fronts" to deal with Chelsea's offensive. The midfielder's back line is still very powerful. The continuous running and interception of frontcourt players will cause a lot of trouble to the Chelsea offensive. They have to spend time breaking through this line of defense. Then they have to face the second line of defense. Manchester City's back line is very solid. Under the leadership of experienced Dunn, the backcourt players are also very active in running. They will try to defend Chelsea's "scoring points".

At this time, the instructions before the Wansheng game were reflected.

When facing Chelsea's defense, you must not be able to focus on everyone on the opponent. Selective control is important. At this time, Shepchenko will often be ignored, while Drogba, Lampard and others are focused on defense.

Such a defense will definitely give Shepchenko a chance, but there is no way. The defense side is passive and can't keep all the points in sight. That would probably require 22 players to play football with their teammates.

Fortunately, just like Wan Sheng thought, Shepchenko was not in the state.

Mourinho did not choose to replace Shepchenko in the second half. Perhaps he wanted to give Ukrainian stars more time to find their form, but Shepchenko still did nothing. Many people have a feeling that Shepchenko seemed to be trying to set off Koppel Ferreira's excellent defense in the frontcourt. I guess if Shepchenko knew what everyone thought, his face would definitely turn black, but obviously this is his performance.

When the "abandoned" Shepchenko performed poorly, Chelsea's offense was quite weak, because Lampard, Drogba and others were all defended tightly.

Whenever Lampard gets the ball in front of the penalty area, two players will come to guard the defense. He even has few opportunities to shoot from a long time. Lampard is not good at making wonderful passes, and Drogba was defended very much. As a result, Chelsea's attack could only return in vain again and again.

At this time, many Chelsea players were puzzled. They were obviously very smooth in their offense and in good condition. Why couldn't they find the opportunity when they arrived in front of the goal?

If you have doubts, you have to find out why, and they soon discovered that they seem to be one less person than Manchester City?

This is not a real reduction in the number of people, but a feeling, just like sometimes they are sent off and then compete with their opponents. The feeling of missing one person in the game is very obvious, so why are there fewer people now?

The live commentator gave the answer, "Look at this shot! Alas Sheva seems to be out of shape at all! It seems that he has not adapted to the Premier League game yet."

This is the reason.

Shepchenko's performance was too poor. He was the one who was the least defended by Chelsea, but he was always wasting opportunities. He looked completely out of shape, like sleepwalking.

Seeing Shepchenko's performance, Wan Sheng smiled with confidence.

In his memory of his previous life, he knew that after Schepchenko arrived at Chelsea, the end of his career was the beginning, but he didn't know how bad Chelsea performed. So before the game, it was also a bet and a must - in any case, Schepchenko's threat will not be greater than Drogba, so he must guard Drogba well.

Now it seems that he is lucky. He won the bet.

Shepchenko has not adapted to Chelsea at all and the Premier League. He is not in shape at all. Shepchenko has nothing to be afraid of in such a thing. Perhaps, from this moment, Shepchenko has lost his magical halo and is no longer the "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" that makes his opponent tremble.

Of course, this is good news for Manchester City.

However, when he saw the team's counterattack, Wan Sheng frowned. He found that Chelsea had changed its defensive strategy.

When Manchester City attacked in the first half, Chelsea would shrink their defense line as soon as possible, and frontcourt players would run back desperately, but now it is different. After Chelsea played a wave of attacks, they did not shrink their defense line, but instead pushed forward collectively in the back line.

What is this to do? He tried his best to siege? In terms of time, it is a bit too early.

Wan Sheng will soon be clear.

Manchester City's two consecutive waves of offense ended with players offside. The first time was Anelka. He never expected that the Chelsea defender would suddenly press forward. He was not prepared for this and was directly offside. The second time was Tangning, who ran too far on the side. As a result, when Morris passed by, he was already in an offside position.

This is offside!

Wan Sheng understood, Chelsea was just intending to create offside!

Wan Sheng turned his head and looked at Mourinho who was also standing on the sidelines. Mourinho happened to see him. The two looked at each other with a cold face, and then turned their heads.

It is difficult to see anything from Mourinho's expression, but Chelsea's defensive tactics are indeed creating offside. This is certain. One or two offsides can be said to be a problem of the player's performance, but continuous offside is not just about playing, but the opponent intentionally does this.

Wansheng looked at the stadium and began to carefully consider the purpose of the other party's doing so.

This style of play is very effective.

After ten minutes of the second half, Manchester City's several waves of offside were resolved by the offside trap. Then Chelsea took the initiative, and their possession time was even more than Manchester City. In this way, Chelsea gained an advantage in the situation. Although their offense actually posed a great threat, it was not easy to take the initiative in the game. You should know that in the second half of the first half, Chelsea was almost beaten by Manchester City.

If you think of this tactic to fight Manchester City, Mourinho is worthy of being the famous coach who led Porto to the top of Europe.

In his past memory, Mourinho was quite successful. If he hadn't been himself, Chelsea would have won two championships. Of course, now he would be completely different. He and Mourinho have no personal grudges, but this is the world of football. There is only one winner, and now he is in the Premier League. There can only be one winner.

Wan Sheng was sure that it would be him.

Mourinho's adjustment is very simple, which is to use offside to fight against Manchester City's advantage in ball control and squeeze Manchester City's offensive space. This has many benefits, but one thing that is certain is that it is also very dangerous to do so, because as long as the offside is successful, Chelsea's goal will appear in front of the Manchester City striker.

So what you need to do now is to play more straight balls!

This is the most direct way!

Wan Sheng smiled.

He suddenly realized that he was actually very successful. Chelsea, who could force Mourinho to use this kind of adventure tactic, could not have many teams in the world? But Manchester City led by him did it.

After becoming intoxicated by himself, Wansheng quickly made adjustments.

He didn't choose to substitution, but just called Morris and told him to let others play more straight passes. Now Morris is the captain on the court and has great prestige in the team. Telling him alone is enough.

After finishing, Wan Sheng returned to the coaching seat and sat down with peace of mind.

The next game depends on the players' performance. But he believes that Manchester City will definitely win in the end.

The opponent's offside tactics are very targeted at Manchester City, but it is also very dangerous to create offside. They only defend 100 times, but if one fails, the team will have a chance to face the goal, which may mean a goal.

Mourinho wants to fight with himself is time and opportunity.

Such tactics are prone to problems over time. After all, no one can guarantee that they can always succeed in offside, but at the same time, this style of play just restrains Manchester City's ball control. Because Manchester City requires space to control the ball, Chelsea squeezes the space, so Manchester City cannot pass and cooperate freely, at least not in the frontcourt. So Chelsea has more space and time, and they use these advantages to complete the goal.

As long as they can score more goals than Manchester City, they will win.

Perhaps the only thing Mourinho didn't expect was that Chelsea's offense was so powerless, they had the advantage on the field for so long, but they still failed to score any goals.

It seems that if this game is won, I must thank Shepchenko for being so stable because of this Ukrainian star's poor performance.

The game continued fiercely.

Chelsea’s defensive players have gradually adapted to the offside style. Although they rarely practice this dangerous defensive tactic, they are all world-class defenders and they all know what to do. The only thing they need is tacit understanding of cooperation.

After several successful defenses, they also had some tacit understanding with each other.

They are very cautious about defense and always stare at Anelka who is rushing in the front. David Silva and Downing are also the opponents they focus on. They know that these three players are the most likely to appear at the forefront of Manchester City's formation.

The same goes for the next.

As the only forward, Anelka naturally has to rush forward. Sometimes after he runs, Downing and David Silva may rush over.

Manchester City has already understood Chelsea's playing style, so when Manchester City attacks, the running of several people will also change. Anelka sometimes suddenly retreats to test Chelsea's defense, which is very troublesome because they don't know if this retreat is a signal for Manchester City to launch an attack. Of course, this also requires the tacit cooperation of several Manchester City players.

Several players in Manchester City's midfield may create opportunities for Abelka.

Morris and David Silva are both good passers-by. The two have outstanding footwork and excellent consciousness. They will pass the ball at the best time. If Chelsea's back line cannot react, then Anelka may have a great opportunity.

So now, Chelsea's back line is under the most pressure in the whole game, and they are facing the most difficult test.

If he was a young forward with average strength, he might have been defeated again and again, but Anelka was different. He is a genius. Despite some personality problems, his ability is recognized by everyone. Even though he had offside several times, Anelka was still energetic. He even occasionally retreated and teased the Chelsea defense line. You know, this defense line is led by Terry and Carvalho. Few forwards dare to do this, but Anelka didn't care at all, which made Terry and others grit their teeth.

At the same time, Anelka also has to keep an eye on his teammates' actions.

He knew that both Morris and the young David Silva were trustworthy teammates. When the football was at the feet of these two people, it might be passed directly. It would be his chance and the moment for him to perform.

Anelka likes this feeling because of the focus of both teams and the protagonists of the whole game.

Manchester City launched a wave of attacks, and Joey Patton kicked the ball to Morris. Morris looked forward and the Chelsea defense immediately became nervous.

Morris then passed the ball to the wing and handed it to Tangning.

Downing ran a few steps away from the ball. When Barak came over, he passed it to David Silva again, and then ran forward again. David Silva brought the ball forward and then made a push pass. At this moment, he turned push into a kick, stuck in the football defense, and made a secret gesture forward.

Anelka received the signal and rushed forward immediately.

Chelsea's defense line did not react at all, because David Silva was still in the middle line when passing the ball, and the distance was a bit too far, which was also a long pass.

Anelka successfully counterattacked and ran to the front.

"Danger!" Chelsea people realized it.

Manchester City fans were shouting excitedly, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity!

But this opportunity was not that good. Although the counter-offside was successful, it was not easy for David Silva to stop the long pass. Anelka tried his best to run forward while turning back to judge the landing point of the football. When he ran to the position with the ball, Terry followed.

At this time, Anelka showed his superb skills.

He squeezed Terry and ran, while stretching out and removing the ball with his heel. The football rolled forward in accordance with it, and Anelka rushed forward!

"Anelka! Great opportunity!"

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate yelled.

It's a pity that the ball is too difficult, Anelka still stopped a little too hard when he tried his best. Chelsea goalkeeper Cech made a very timely attack. He held the ball in his arms first, and Anelka, who rushed over frantically, almost collided with Cech.

"call"

Chelsea fans were relieved.

The Chelsea players on the court also breathed a sigh of relief. The ball was too dangerous just now. Even if Anelka's strength was a little smaller, he would be able to catch up with the ball first. They could imagine what would happen at that time.

Fortunately, the ball was not scored, and the score was still 0:1, and they still have a chance.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's seat and was sorry for not scoring. However, when he saw this goal, he felt more relaxed. The next pressure was on Chelsea's side. They should be worried about, and Manchester City led by one goal, and there was nothing to worry about at all. (~^~)
