313. Do you have a waist? (Ask for recommendation, collection, subscription)
Jose Mourinho's response was swift and Chelsea quickly changed their tactics, with the striker merely harassing City's control at the back, retreating fairly quickly and building a defensive wall around the centre circle.
Mourinho has learned from Klopp, and he also wants to make a fuss through the active interception of the midfield, but today's Manchester City is not the Manchester City of that day, under the deliberate arrangement of Wen Sheng, once the opponent is resisted in the middle circle, there is no suitable passing space, there is nothing to say, just pass back.
When Brother Kuan was in Real Madrid in his previous life, he was known as the prince of passing, and his best trick was horizontal passing, passing! Very excessive!
Wen Sheng also made such a request to him today, Brother Kuan didn't often do this in Bayern Munich before, but it doesn't mean that he can't do it, in fact, Brother Kuan is Brother Kuan after all, change the coach, Brother Kuan does this job well.
Chelsea were quick and ruthless in their interceptions, and soon Frank Lampard was shown a yellow card in midfield, including in the eighth minute for hooking Kroos in the back.
Ten minutes into the game, possession was not exchanged as often as everyone thought, it took a long time for City to launch an attack, and it was not easy for Chelsea to counter-attack because they were a group of suppressors and resolutely played positional battles.
Playing positional warfare is not what Mourinho thinks, Chelsea is facing very great resistance in terms of positional warfare, and it is needless to say that Manchester City's midfield interception ability is also quite strong.
Especially when Hazard got the ball, three people from Manchester City immediately went up to grab it, Hazard didn't pass the ball, and he worked hard to bring it alone, and both times he fell into a siege and lost the ball.
There was a more threatening pass on Manchester City's side, and in the 7th minute, Manchester City played a beautiful team football in the Chelsea half, tearing apart the Chelsea defence, but it was a pity that Aguero's anti-offside position could not get the ball, otherwise Chelsea could have conceded a goal.
In the 11th minute, Chelsea completed their first shot on goal, after Hazard broke through with the ball, Diagonal, Torres ran smartly, shot from a small angle, the pace was not adjusted well, and the shot was deflected a lot.
Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and calmed down, he was not in a hurry, it was good to be able to score a point anyway.
Manchester City gradually took the initiative, and Mourinho sacrificed his own counter-attacking tactics.
Jose Mourinho was anxious on the sidelines, but there was nothing he could do, Chelsea's midfielder was actually responsible for running Ramirez, who had been running up and down from the opening moment to now, very active.
But how can he alone resist Manchester City's side, Manchester City's lineup is also quite strange, the midfield is tall and strong, Wanyama, Dembele's two backs are strong, and Milner, Van Dijk, Kompany on the back line who is not a strong man?! Even Hills is much stronger than when Wen Sheng first met him, and his strength is also very strong.
In this way, Chelsea's midfield suffered from physical confrontation, Manchester City were in a state of suppression, and it was difficult for Chelsea to attack Manchester City's half.
Stamford Bridge fans certainly don't want to see what they see in front of them, but they can't help it, they don't understand why Manchester City are in control, all they can do is scold the Manchester City players from the stands.
The deadlock was broken in the 43rd minute, when Dembele's sudden midfield start-up caught Chelsea off guard, and Chelsea's defensive system was confused by his left and right prolapse, and finally Dembele split the ball, Aguero crossed after offside, and Silva hit an empty net unguarded to give Manchester City the lead.
Dembele did not deliberately step forward, this trick was said by Wen Sheng before the game, this is the carving of the details, Dembele only tried twice in the first half, maybe Chelsea thought that this was just Dembele's personal behavior, by chance, did not pay attention to it, but did not expect the first half to be over and fell into bad luck.
Mourinho scolded angrily, the responsibility for the ball is here with Ramirez, he was boundless, and he went up to grab the ball but couldn't come back, giving Dembele a chance.
Manchester City went into the second half with a 1-0 lead.
The first half was an equal number of shots from both sides, with City not having it easy to find their chances, and Chelsea even more so with just five shots on goal each.
But in other statistics, Chelsea are completely underneath, whether it is possession or tackles, they are a lot worse than Manchester City, and even have fewer fouls than Manchester City.
In the second half, Mourinho still insisted on his tactics, Wen Sheng had no reason to make adjustments, and Manchester City still firmly controlled the initiative.
But in the second half, Manchester City dared to make moves and cooperate in the front of Chelsea's penalty area than in the first half, and the success rate was not very high, but Chelsea's backfield was too lacking in players who played the ball, and the ball was not very smooth.
Mourinho finally had a change, he instructed Hazard to retreat, and the king of the ball began to retreat frequently from the 60th minute, the king of the ball may not be in very good shape, but after all, he is the king of the ball, and the dribbling is really amazing.
The effect of his retreat was still very noticeable, at least there was a connection between the Chelsea back and the attack.
Chelsea also had a couple of very good counter-attacks, with Fernando Torres coming close to finding the back of the door for Manchester City.
Wen Sheng stood on the sidelines and reminded his frontcourt offensive players to be cautious and not to risk the ball, so let's take our time step by step!
In addition, he called Wanyama to his side, telling him to pester Hazard and tell Milner not to press too much.
But this trick is still not very effective, Hazard is too lively, he is not a fool, he acts like a free man, it is still a little troublesome for Manchester City to defend, especially on the other side of Schurrle's speed is also very fast, his containment makes Manchester City have to be distracted in defense to take care of.
Fortunately, although Hazard is strong, Manchester City adapts quickly, and the king of Hazard has been busy for so long, and he really can't keep up physically.
Manchester City's ace player De Bruyne is not too much, Hazard suffers from no helpers around him, De Bruyne has more helpers around him than Hazard, in the 78th minute, De Bruyne received Kroos's ball, cut into the penalty area at the bottom, inverted triangle pass, Kroos directly inserted and pushed, accurately hit the Chelsea goal, helping Manchester City lead Chelsea 2:0.
This goal has seriously hit Chelsea's morale, Mourinho's defensive strategy is completely broken, what to play, in the first few rounds of games, Chelsea's waist seems to be fine, but today against Manchester City, it will make commentators think "Nima, does Chelsea have a waist?!" ”。
