The quality of the game was not high, but if you put in the game, the time passed quickly, and before you knew it, the fans heard Foy's half-time whistle.
Manchester City, playing at home, temporarily led the visiting team Chelsea 1-0 thanks to a goal from Hills.
"Overall, the game was as expected! Before the game, everyone predicted that this game would be a very difficult game, from the first half, Manchester City, who was playing at home, was not outstanding in terms of advantages, and the attacking quality of both sides was not high, but the change of full-backs on Manchester City's side made Chelsea suffer! It's hard to say how Chelsea will be able to turn around their current deficit in the second half! Coach Zhang said when summing up the game in the first half.
'Chelsea's attacking quality is so poor, Eden Hazard is in separate situations with Willian and Samuel Eto'o, there is too little connection between them, and Chelsea may only have something to do if they improved in the second half!'
When it comes to this, the individual ability of the players and the brilliance of the players are the key factors.
Chelsea had five shots on goal in the first half, three of which came from set-pieces and just two shots from open play, while City had seven shots on goal and four from open play, with the other three also coming from set-pieces.
In terms of possession, City went by 54 per cent to 46 per cent, an increase of eight percentage points, but that doesn't mean much.
Wen Sheng is of course satisfied with the score, the difficulty against Chelsea has long been predicted, and it is indeed very good to be able to make a surprise move.
But Wen Sheng is also dissatisfied, the team is forced by the opponent, the ball control is not as good as imagined, he feels that this is not a problem of ability, but a psychological problem, after the lead, some players have some ideas for the sake of safety, the ball is too short at the feet, the opponent's pressure is still relatively far away, in this way, one ring after another, the opponent's defensive system will become tight.
For example, Van Dijk, he can keep the ball at his feet for two more seconds, Chelsea players will definitely close the distance with him in order to force him, and the circle around him will become smaller, but Chelsea's defense in other positions may not be able to keep up in time, Chelsea's defensive formation may be completely different, Van Dijk may indeed be risky, but as long as his ball is out, Manchester City's control of the ball will also be smooth.
This is also a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, and every player treats the ball at his feet as if it is a hot potato, which is destined to not be able to control the ball well.
"Your mindset has changed! The opponent is Chelsea, so it can't be stabilized?! I don't think you've ever played Bayern Munich like this! Wen Sheng looked like he hated iron but not steel.
The players have a little shame on their faces, yes, how could they have faced Bayern Munich like today?!
In the final analysis, public opinion is still a little bit of pressure on everyone, needless to mention the war of words before the game, other teams in the Premier League are cheering for Chelsea, all hoping that Chelsea can block Manchester City and score a goal, everyone doesn't want to lose, the other party is ruthless, it seems that the defensive state and enthusiasm are not bad, so the frequency of this foot is a little faster.
'We need this win but we have to do our best to keep the ball safe at our feet, we don't need to create too many chances now, what we need to do is limit their chances, limit them from taking the ball!' In the second half, you have to run, be positive, don't be afraid of them breaking the ball, and trust your teammates! Wen Sheng also pointed out the tactical direction of the second half, and 54 per cent possession was not enough.
......
Jose Mourinho, on the other hand, has also changed his mind, and he feels that his team should still play a defensive counter-attack.
Hazard and Willian and Samuel Eto'o are playing separately, which is not a problem for him, on the contrary, he needs to create chances for the trio to play separately in the second half.
Eden Hazard and Willian are very individual and they have good passing ability, they only have the slightest chance and a goal or an assist is possible, so it's not a problem for him.
The ball was given to Manchester City, and he gradually saw Wen Sheng's routine clearly, if it was a positional battle, they would definitely use the combination of small and fast spirits to play the same anti-offside routine as Barcelona.
Chelsea need not be afraid, Sergio Aguero's ability to move is not as strong as he could have imagined.
I have to say that Mourinho guessed very accurately, Wen Sheng used Aguero is not the meaning, Chelsea's two central defenders are extremely strong, Dzeko may not win a good prize, Aguero is different, swiftness is his characteristic.
With their own minds, the players from both sides returned to the pitch again.
On the one hand, he has the intention to control the ball at his feet, and on the other hand, he has the intention to play defensive counterattacks.
The game naturally became controlled by Manchester City, Chelsea defended, and in the first half, it was because it was expected that Manchester City would be reluctant, so Mourinho had the intention to let the team take the initiative in defense, and the effect was not good, Mourinho returned to the old way, and Manchester City naturally got up as he wished.
It's not easy to get on the ground in front of the fans, and City have to keep the game on the Chelsea half.
Chelsea's push to retreat made it feel like an offensive and defensive drill.
The level of physical confrontation between the two sides seems to have dropped a lot, with Chelsea mainly relying on formation to defend Manchester City's attack, but Manchester City had to foul due to the opponent's counter-attack.
In the 56th minute, Chelsea had a chance to counter-attack, Walker couldn't help but bring down Eden Hazard, and Foy finally showed the first yellow card of the game.
Wen Sheng shouted on the sidelines, Mourinho was very unhappy, damn, this blind man can see the foul, you call a yarn?!
This is not the first time that Wen Sheng has upset Mourinho in this game.
Less than five minutes later, Wen Sheng came to the second wave of things.
In the 61st minute, Walker made a mistake in passing the ball and passed the ball out of the sideline, Wen Sheng stepped on the ball at his feet, Azpilicueta came over to get the ball, and Wen Sheng gently poked the ball into the stadium with a kick, which was clearly deliberate.
"There's something fucking wrong with you!" Azpilicueta, of course, didn't have a good word to say and scolded.
Wen Sheng blew up instead, "Who the are you talking about?!" ”
The two men quarreled on the sidelines, and in a second or two, the two sides were in a mess on the sidelines.
Jose Mourinho also joined the fray, "Villain! Shameless! ”
Finally separating the two sides, Foy gave Wensheng and Azpilicueta a yellow card.
"Wen, don't let things get complicated! If you do this again, I'll have to let you go to the stands! ”
"Fack, I didn't do anything!" Wen Sheng shouted angrily, the ball came to my feet, I returned the ball to the court, is this still wrong?!
He also told Mourinho, "Why didn't he get a card?!" He just cursed! Call me a villain, call me shameless! It's so fucking damnable, they're behind on the scene, can they do this?! If you can't afford to lose, don't participate in the league, just disband! ”
