"Eden Hazard was very active today!" Wen Sheng sat back in the coach's seat to drink water, Hawking took a notebook to write and draw, he would take a small notebook to observe the performance of the opponent players every game, and Kidd was responsible for the performance of his own players, and then they would sometimes provide their observations to Wen Sheng in the middle of the game.
Wen Sheng glanced at Hawking's small notebook and gasped.
Hawking's book reads: 'Eden Hazard: Lively starters, sharp dribbles, erratic positions, Chelsea's main attacking side is on this side. Hawking also listed four data after this sentence.
Passing: three bars
Threatening pass: a bar
Assist: Blank
Goal: Blank
Wen Sheng understands what this means, he has completed three passes, threatened the pass once, and has zero assists and goals.
Three dribbles are nothing for a player of Hazard's level, but considering that the game has only been played for more than ten minutes, and the two sides have possession of the ball for about the same time, Hazard's pass is terrifying, in the few minutes of Chelsea's possession, he has an average of one pass every two minutes, this Nima is scary!
Hawking says the main attack is fine on Hazard's side.
"Pablo is always letting me down!" Wen Sheng muttered in his mouth, but this is not particularly correct, Hazard's position is too lively, and Zabaleta can't follow him to the middle.
"We didn't control well, the opponent pressed very well and ran very aggressively!" Kidd shook his head and said something about City.
Football is a sport where sometimes you can say that it is rough and that any tactics are, but sometimes you have to say that football is really a fine science.
In the case of control at the back, which is a regular tactic for Manchester City, different people on the pitch determine the effectiveness of this tactic.
For example, in the past, after Van Dijk got the ball, he had a good psychological quality, he would not panic, the ball was more reasonable, and he cooperated with the goalkeeper tacitly, but if he changed someone else, he might be half a second slower or half a second faster, the situation would be completely different, and Benitez's pressing strategy was also very targeted and daring to get on the ground, so Manchester City's backfield control was difficult to achieve good results.
The lack of control at the back led to the exchange of possession too often, and the fouling of an in-form Zahar alone made Manchester City a mess.
"Do you want to close the formation and let them attack for a while!" Kidd's idea is that the team can turn into a defensive counter-attack, and first limit Hazard's point.
"Wait! They are now the first to score, and it is difficult to say what kind of attitude Benitez will play with! Wen Sheng's meaning is also very clear, and a decision needs to be made according to Benitez's arrangement.
.......
When the game restarted, Chelsea did make some changes, the wing-backs pressed and assisted greatly less, of course, Benitez did not shrink the defence, the formation is still relatively forward-looking, and is not willing to give up the midfield position.
Wen Sheng immediately laid out tactics for the team, playing behind Azpilicueta more, the attacker of Manchester City on his side is a dog, and this brother is also a winger with strong breakthrough ability and speed like Hazard.
Gou Yu got Wen Sheng's instructions, and the strategy of returning to defense changed, and sometimes he didn't return defense.
Wensheng's idea was realized, in the 19th minute, Dembele broke the ball at the back and split the ball, and Gou Yu and Drogba made a collision with the wall, all the way to the hinterland of Chelsea, but unfortunately this time Chelsea's central defenders Ivanovic and Luiz were very vigilant, and finally suffocated the dog Yu alive, and flew directly out of the other sideline with a foot across the ball.
Wen Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, the dog was still too casual, bored to the end, and then crossed without seeing if there was anyone in the middle!
He doesn't want to think about how fast he is, and can Nasri, Silva, and Drogba keep up with him?!
"This kid!" Kidd complained dissatisfiedly, "He can wait, did he observe his teammates in the cross?!" ”
"My comprehension of the game is not too strong!" Hawking shook his head as well.
But in any case, Wen Sheng's idea was right, so for a while Chelsea played on the left side, and Manchester City also attacked on the left side, and everyone seemed to be discussing, which was really a bit funny.
There were a lot of disruptions on the pitch at this time, and Benitez was a little more worried than the chaotic start, his team was ahead, of course he was most afraid of chaos, every manager had a desire to be in control, and everyone felt a little uneasy when the situation was not what they expected.
The players on Manchester City's side are in a hurry, and the players on Chelsea's side are also in a hurry, always trying to seize opportunities to counterattack on the spot, and the passing is relatively fast, the speed is fast, and there are not many fouls to have ghosts.
Benitez certainly didn't want this situation to continue, so he chose to let the team recycle, move back in formation, and can switch to defensive counter-attacks, whether it is Demba Ba or Hazard, they are very fast, and they are very good in counterattacking.
Thirty minutes onwards, the game began to enter the orbit of Manchester City, and the control at the back looked to be well done, and the City fans in the stadium probably felt that their team had taken the initiative and shouted loudly from the stands.
In fact, Wen Sheng understands that this is just a battle between the two managers, and Benitez's choice to temporarily back down does not mean that Chelsea do not have the strength to fight against Manchester City.
Benitez's defensive strategy is still quite clever, and every time Chelsea face Manchester City's attack, they do not directly shrink the formation to near the penalty line, but layer by layer, slowing down Manchester City's advance, and in this way, forcing Manchester City's midfielders to devote more to attacking.
Manchester City's midfielders are always in their own half, and Chelsea will have trouble counter-attacking, but if City's midfield is past half-time and Hazard gets the ball, they will not have time to retreat.
The first half passed quickly, and Benitez's strategy was undoubtedly successful, there were not many chances for Manchester City, and there were not many for Chelsea, each with four shots on goal in the first half, but Chelsea had a goal!
.......
"Alright, guys, I don't think you need to regret the first half, don't be discouraged, the game is not over yet!" Wen Sheng waited for the players to arrive, then clapped his hands and said this first, and then did not appease the players of Manchester City from a psychological level.
He believes the players will be able to regulate their mood.
Pulling over the tactical board, Wen Sheng knocked on the tactical board and said: "If there is no accident in the second half, Chelsea will definitely play a defensive counterattack!" ”
The routine of defensive counterattack is the most suitable tactic to play Hazard's strengths, and Hazard is in really good shape in this game, Benitez has no reason not to think about a way, and Chelsea is still ahead, Benitez "tactician" is not called in vain, he is not a stunned young man, and he will be stupid to fight with Manchester City.
'So in the second half we were definitely going to be positional and with Didier and Douglas, they would have liked to believe that we were playing wide crosses, so they would have been focusing on us in the second half. We can use the flanks as a means of attacking, but we can also use this as a trick to get the attention of Mikel and Ramirez, and Moussa can plug in from the middle! ”
