As a result of the penalty, Chelsea suddenly lost power, making frequent mistakes up front, and as a result, the dominance returned to Manchester City's side.

In the seventh minute, Hazard's dribbling up front was cut off, De Bruyne dribbled the ball, Manchester City played a quick counter-attack, and Aguero hit the post with a single knife and almost broke the Chelsea goal.

In the 10th minute, City counter-attacked, Cahill blocked Silva's cross, Silva headed in a corner, and Savic's header was also dangerous.

Benitez had to make gestures on the sidelines to make his players a little more recyclable, and smart coaches do that, when the opponent's momentum comes up, the original defensive mode of the midfield and backfield can no longer limit the opponent and you still want to play against the opponent, which is definitely a move to find death.

Benitez is no fool, so he chose to let the team reclaim a little.

Wen Sheng did not let Manchester City slow down, on the contrary, taking advantage of this opportunity, he let the team high pressure, continued to test the pressure of Chelsea's central defenders, Drogba and Aguero both drilled into the penalty area, but on Hazard's side, he deliberately explained to Melo and asked Melo to stare at him.

Manchester City followed suit, with Didier Drogba, Sergio Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne all squandering a good chance.

Twenty-five minutes later, City were struggling to follow up and Chelsea were on their feet, but City were unable to create any more good chances.

Wen Sheng stopped at the right time and hurriedly beckoned his players to slow down.

The game between the two sides has reached a stalemate, you go back and forth, and there are attacks and defenses against each other.

Chelsea's attack is actually playing well, Hazard has also begun to become smarter, he no longer blindly pursues individual performances, and began to cooperate with teammates, using teammates to cover himself, Manchester City's side has also made some adjustments to his defensive Wensheng in time, the main strategy is to force Hazard into the corner, prevent him from going down and cutting inside, and relax a little bit about his passing.

Hazard's crosses are often difficult to pose a threat to the Manchester City penalty area, Demba Ba is difficult to fight for the top under the defense of Van Dijk and Savic, and he is difficult to control the ground ball, Van Dijk's long legs are very effective, Demba Ba once received a pass from Mata, tried to turn around and eat Van Dijk, but Van Dijk stretched his long legs and stabbed him.

The quality of Manchester City's attack is not very good, Silva is a little difficult after recovering from injury, Drogba is not in very good form, it seems that Aguero and De Bruyne can jump, and it is not difficult for Chelsea to defend.

From the 31st minute to the 42nd minute, the period of ten minutes, both teams did not complete a single shot, the main focus was on the midfield fight, the exchange of ball possession was very frequent, but no one used it well, to be precise, it was difficult to use it well in the front court.

Wen Sheng felt that he might as well use the 4231 formation, and there was a lack of a string connection point in the middle. 186 Chinese Network

As soon as he said it, Wensheng immediately gave instructions to the players on the pitch, Aguero moved to a wide position, and Silva was moved to the middle as a central midfielder.

After Silva went to the middle, he felt that the situation was much better, Manchester City began to take over the game in an all-round way, Silva best made a small range of tandem organization, he retreated to the midfield to start, he can string several players in the midfield and backfield and the front, when Toure is there, Toure has the ability to share part of this work, Toure is not there, Dembele is not good, Dembele can occasionally kill the front court to disrupt the game, but he can't do this job yet, causing Manchester City to be a little out of control.

Chelsea were once again on the back foot, being pushed back by Manchester City.

The team played well in the last few minutes, but unfortunately the goal was still a little bit short, and Drogba was sleepwalking.

Wen Sheng is not easy to say about him, Drogba has made more than 20 appearances for the team so far this season, as a substitute this is a lot of numbers, so old, it is normal to have ups and downs.

At halftime, Wen Sheng hinted to Drogba that if the second half did not go well enough, he would be replaced, and Drogba acquiesced.

Benitez feels that his team is also annoying, Hazard's freedom is too great, when he feels that he can cooperate with his teammates, he will cooperate with him, and when he is not happy, he will blindly die, he has good skills and strong dribbling ability, as long as he does not enter the encirclement of Manchester City, people will let him go, but once he enters the encirclement, Manchester City is not so polite either breaking the ball or fouling, in short, it will definitely not make Hazard feel better.

Benitez thinks Hazard is wasting the ball on Chelsea anyway, but he can't say, fuck, Chelsea players are not easy to mess with!

Benitez is a master tactician, a real master, quite capable, pragmatism first, he thinks there are several main problems that Chelsea need to solve, first, the instability at the back, the lack of Terry, this is a old mistake, Terry is the leader on the pitch, he directs the team's central and defensive defence, others have not grown up and cannot take on this role! The second is that there is no waist in the midfield, Chelsea does not have a real back that can be relied on, Manchester City on the opposite side has Melo, but Chelsea does not, Mikel, Ramirez can't do it, and Escindo is bad! The third is the problem of attack, the transfer of Hazard is super capable, but the problem is that he is too alone, the team sense is really not good, Chelsea cannot build tactics around him, his current status is a wing attacker is not the tactical core, Benitez feels that he can't build a team around him anyway, and he doesn't like Hazard's style of play. Fourth, the centre-forwards are weak, not to mention Manchester City's striker duo, Sergio Aguero and Dzeko combined are almost forty league goals, and Chelsea don't even have a striker of one of their standards!

If these issues are not resolved, Chelsea will not be able to maintain stability, and there will always be good and bad games.

Chelsea's problems can only be solved by Benitez, but he has no dominance in the transfer, so he cannot lead Chelsea to the football that his boss wants, and at half-time he decisively reverted to the counter-attacking routine, which in his opinion is the best way to deal with opponents like Manchester City.

The Chelsea players don't like Benitez's tactics and feel as if they are too weak, no matter how strong Manchester City is, we are strong, okay?!

I don't like it, but in the second half, the players still followed Benitez's arrangement.

Chelsea's return to the defensive counterattack routine, putting on a dead guard at home, made Wen Sheng a little surprised, Chelsea is no different from Arsenal, it is always difficult to put down his body, unlike Manchester United and Manchester City, look at Ferguson, this old thing is the most patient, he doesn't care about that face at all, and often fights defensive counterattacks against strong teams.

Chelsea's choice makes Manchester City a little difficult, attacking is always a problem, not to mention that Chelsea's counter-attack is very powerful, and one Hazard is difficult enough.
