Chapter 220: Blue Derby (6)

Five to 0, with two goals and two assists, it would have been a disaster for any team, but it was an exciting one for Chelsea.

However, Chelsea, who were leading by a large margin, also retracted their attacking line in the final stages of the first half, which also gave Manchester City a little chance, which also gave them some opportunities, although the general trend is now irreversible, but such a group of big players still hope that they can perform, so then Manchester City have some advantages.

In the 42nd minute, Sergio Aguero's header from inside the box was cleared away by Cech. Yaya Toure then played a long ball from the back again, Dzeko combined with Silva to kick the wall, and the push from the edge of the box was again denied by Cech.

In the 43rd minute, Yaya Toure crossed from the right, and the Chelsea defence failed to save the first point again, and Dzeko also bounced the ball five yards from the back post, only to be hit by Cech on the outside of the far post with a fingertip.

Luiz also immediately kicked the ball out of the box, Frank Lampard immediately countered and crossed, Juan Mata burst into the right of the box and fired a diagonal shot that Hart saved, and Huntelaar followed up with a volley that flew over the crossbar.

In the last minute of the first half, Silva passed through the middle, and Aguero knocked selflessly on the right side of the penalty area, but there was no one to defend it, and he kicked the football into the sky, which was also Manchester City's best chance in the first half, but unfortunately it passed by again.

José Moraes, who was sitting in the stands, turned around at this time and asked Mourinho next to him, "Boss, what new arrangements do you have for the second half?"

Mourinho smiled "No, it's already like this, I don't need to set up anything, let Rui think for himself, whatever he arranges, this game is his classic." We're just going to be spectators today and just enjoy the football. ”

"But boss, I've always had a question I can't understand, I wonder if I can let you explain it to me today?"

"Say it. Mourinho was in a good mood, so he smiled and looked at his assistant.

"I've never figured out why you put Ai Fan on the side? In fact, according to his passing and awareness of the big picture, he should actually stay in the middle, whether it's a midfielder, a striker, it's not impossible, Magath has transformed him into a free man, why don't we continue to use it like this?"

Mourinho laughed, "Do you think I'm fighting off? Uribe made Illusory the best centre-forward, and Magath transformed him into a free man, if I don't transform him, then I won't be able to show my ability?"

Jose smiled, he neither admitted nor denied it, but judging by that expression, he thought so.

Mourinho thought for a moment before saying: "Actually, I have that idea, but it's not all. I've always been concerned about Ai Huan, and I have a very detailed understanding of his abilities. I've been thinking about why a player like I'm going to have to stay in the middle, and when I was watching the Champions League final last season, I suddenly thought of a possibility to put him on the wing. In fact, his passing ability is very good, but his attacking ability is still fundamental, and when he is placed in the middle, he has to face at least two midfielders and two central defenders every time he goes forward, and many times the center forward of his own team in front of him will also become an obstacle for him, don't forget, his speed is too fast, not only the opponent's own players can not react many times. And once you put him on the wing, then all he has to do is a wing-back, and then he can dribble horizontally, he can break into the opposition box at any time, he can do more if he wants, that's what I think. ”

"Oh, but why hasn't Ai Huan fully developed his abilities now?"

"Quite simply, I never told him that. ”

"Why?"

'He's got a long way to go, he's still too young, I want him to understand and do it on his own, that's the only way he can grow up quickly, and if I have to talk to him about everything, then isn't he the same as the players? Actually, I never made any offensive arrangements for him, except for not letting him participate in the defense, I didn't give him any framework for attacking, he can play as much as he wants, and this is the environment I brought to him. ”

'What's in it for us? Actually, there are some things I still want to say, Abu is not a person to work with for a long time, and I even suspect that if we win all the trophies one day, he will not hesitate to abandon us, Chelsea or us, in fact, it is just his toy. But someone like Ai Huan is definitely not something he will sell, so will we have to face a terrifying existence?"

Mourinho laughed, but this time there was a bit of bitterness in his laughter: "I have been mentally prepared for this, but I also believe that Ai Huan will not stay here for a long time, this place is just a place for him to stay, one day he will leave, and where will he go then? Maybe the team I am in at that time is his destination." ”

Chelsea didn't make any substitutions at the start of the second half, they had already taken a huge lead in the first half and didn't need to make any adjustments. Manchester City, on the other hand, replaced Dzeko, who did not wear shooting boots, and replaced him with Balotelli, an old acquaintance of Ai Huan.

Balotelli was perfect last season, scoring important goals on many important occasions and contributing to Manchester City's success in becoming Premier League champions. But this season he is a little unable to find the north, and I don't know what kind of mentality makes him fluttery, and he has made inappropriate remarks about many things in the team, and the most important thing is that his relationship with Mancini has become very ordinary, so Mancini put him on the bench, which also makes the relationship between the two even more confusing.

But this game is all different for Balotelli, he has never forgotten the Ai Phantom who stole his limelight in Serie A, originally he thought that he would definitely become the best striker in the world, but unfortunately in front of this person he was deprived of all his aura, so now that he finally has such an opportunity, Balotelli's attitude that has always been indifferent has changed, and he feels that there is a fire burning in his chest.
