Chapter 710: Puzzles

Such a focus battle is naturally a key event broadcast on TV.

In England, there are many Premier League games that start at the same time, but Sky Sports has chosen to broadcast the highlight game on TV.

Not to mention in China.

Even if there is no Gao Bo, the match between Chelsea and Manchester City will be the key game, not to mention that the current Manchester City manager is still Gao Bo.

On CCTV's live television footage, camera footage swept over the stands and then cut to players from both sides walking onto the pitch.

"CCTV!! Cctv!!! Audience friends, here is a key battle in the 27th round of the 202-203 English Premier League broadcast by CCTV for you! Manchester City, at home to Chelsea!! ”

Duan Xuan's voice, which is familiar to fans all over the country, came out of the TV.

"The league is coming to an end and the importance of this game is undeniable!! A win for Manchester City would mean Chelsea were out of contention for the league title, and if they wined, they would close the gap between them. Of course, if the two sides play to a draw, the fisherman will undoubtedly benefit Manchester United!! ”

"There is so much significance in this game, so it will be interesting to see what the two teams will do in this game!!

When Duan Xuan spoke, the players of the two teams were already standing on the court.

The captains of the two sides were picking sides, and Xu Yang on the side was desperately giving him a look, if he continued to talk about it, it would be too late to say anything about both sides.

"In this game, the list of the home team Manchester City is like this: it is still the 423 formation that Manchester City often uses during this time, goalkeeper Oblak, the central defender combination is Kompany and Kolo Toure, right back Trippier, left back Kolarov, and the midfield, due to Casemiro's injury in the FA Cup, this game cannot be played, Manchester City's double back has become Milner and Fernandinho, front, left midfielder David Silva, forward Kaka, right midfielder Griezmann, center forward Hazard !!"

As for Chelsea, Mourinho's arrangement for this game can be seen that he has set up Manchester City in a dead target. It's hard to say what kind of formation Mourinho is in at the moment, which can only be concluded by observing during the game, but before the game, most English media believed that Mourinho's formation in this game should be a 432 formation, and the same is true of the formation given by the broadcaster before the game! ”

"The goalkeeper is still Cech, the central defender is a special partner David Luiz, the right-back is Ivanovic, the left wing-back Ashley Cole, in the midfield, Ramirez, Mikel, Kante are still sitting in the midfield, in front of them, Lampard and Oscar, at the top is Demba Ba, and Drogba, temporarily arranged on the bench, as Mourinho's back!"

By the time Duan Xuan finished speaking, the game had already begun.

Manchester City kicked off first, and everyone felt the change at Chelsea as soon as the game began!

By the time the ball was passed all the way to Kompany's feet, Chelsea were almost all on the plate!

"Demba Ba !!"

Duan Xuan exclaimed!

I only saw it on the pitch, Demba Ba pounced on Kompany!!

Kompany didn't expect the opponent to pounce so quickly, he hurriedly passed the ball back to Oblak!!

Demba Ba didn't slow down and continued to pounce forward!

That's when you can see the difference between Oblak and Hart.

Oblak, who had the ball at his feet, did not panic, and he did not rush to cross the ball to full-back Kolarov.

If this is Hart, it may be a big foot and directly lose the ball.

Kolarov was also pressing, he took the ball with his back, carried Frank Lampard behind him, and was ready to kick the ball forward to David Silva, but Lampard slammed it off the touchline!

Manchester City's touchline ball!

Chelsea still have no intention of retreating!

They pressed up front and made it difficult for City to get the ball out!!

It wasn't until Kaka came back to pick up the ball and turned and was brought to the ground by Ramirez that City won a free-kick at the back.

Chelsea quickly shrunk back into half-time.

This frustrated Kaka's plans to take a free-kick quickly.

The free-kick was taken and Chelsea were pressed again!

The dense formation, the overall coordinated movement, starting from Demba Ba, to Lampard and Oscar behind him, as well as the back line and the back line, the four lines maintain a very compact formation between them, and move positions between each other to run very tacitly.

Jose Mourinho stood on the sidelines.

This is the result of almost a month of training for Chelsea specifically against Manchester City!

Mourinho is also changing.

In the past, Mourinho liked to camp troops in the backfield and set up buses.

And now, the bus is in the foreground!

Doesn't Manchester City like short passes to cooperate with advancement, Mourinho simply carried out crazy frontcourt pressing, and, to some extent, this set still borrowed a lot of things from Gao Bo

When Frank Lampard knocked Milner to the ground again, Gobo got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines.

It seems that this game is not quite what he imagined.

Mourinho's change also surprised Gao Bo.

The Portuguese seems to have made some new tactical breakthroughs, at least for Chelsea now, playing a very proactive form of football.

They put their forces up front to press and launch counter-attacks as soon as they broke the ball.

In the eighth minute of the game, Demba Ba had a chance to shoot on goal, and that was after stealing Fernandinho in front.

It was this shot that made Gao Bo a little unable to sit still.

Gao Bo, who was standing on the sidelines, clasped his hands to his chest.

If Chelsea really pose much of a threat, we don't see it yet.

But Gao Bo knew very well that the other party was waiting for an opportunity!

Once you make a fatal tackle in the front court, it is immediately an attack that can threaten the goal!

And once Chelsea have scored, the same can be used at the back.

Gao Bo can almost completely retell Mourinho's tactical ideas.

Because this is simply the tactic that Gao Bo himself first used.

During Luton's time, Gao Bo used this set to kill all sides.

Crazy frontcourt pressing, as well as dense formations, tough physical confrontations!

This set of Gao Bo's morale in Atletico Madrid is often used, and even the current tactics of Manchester City can find the shadow of this set.

Of course, Gao Bo's current tactical thinking has changed a lot compared to before.

He didn't expect that Mourinho would actually pick up his set at Luton and put it directly on Chelsea.

And it works very well!

At least in terms of player quality, Chelsea's players are certainly much better now than those players at Luton Town.

And Chelsea also have Mikel, Ramirez and, most importantly, N'Golo Kante! The interception and coverage ability of these three midfielders gives Mourinho the confidence to let go and press in the front court.

At the same time, the current Manchester City is accustomed to short passes and retreating to the front of the field.

Therefore, such a front-court pressing makes it difficult to force Manchester City to play the ball, which is obviously a problem for Gao Bo.
