'It was a tight game, Chelsea were fierce in the first 20 minutes, but we didn't score and City settled down! Neville, you say who wins today has a little more hope! Carragher turned to his partner.

"Hehe, it's hard to say, the strength of the two sides is about the same, however, Chelsea have the advantage in attack, but they haven't taken the lead yet, so it's hard to say, but Jones and Eden Hazard can change this game, if they shine, the result!" Gary Neville commented with a smile.

He is clearly optimistic about Chelsea, Gary Neville, who started his football career with Manchester United and has played for them throughout his career, since making his debut for the Reds in 1992, he has become an indispensable defender at the back, and he has been an absolute mainstay in helping Manchester United win the treble in 1998/99.

"Yes, a lot of Chelsea's games rely on Jones and Hazard to save lives, look at this goal, Hazard's long-range shot is ......, the ball is high!"

Chelsea's attack did not stop, the ball passed several times in the midfield, Jones picked up a pass, Hazard desperately resisted Otamendi, the chest pad the ball to the inside of William, William passed to the Jones who came up to answer, Jones faced Kyle Walker, the outside of the right foot flicked the instep slightly, Fabregas followed up with a long shot more than 30 meters away!

'Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot was saved by Ederson, Chelsea's attack has been fierce since the opening, it was very physically demanding, it seems that they won the first title of the season, so they are in good shape for their players!

"Well, that's right, the game thing, when you kick well, the more you kick, the smoother it is, and the more it doesn't go well, the more it doesn't go well!!"

But Manchester City is not a soft persimmon, Manchester City's players began to actively scramble, the players of the two teams fell into a fierce battle, Chelsea is advancing strongly, and Manchester City's players are also fighting for an inch of land.

"Willian broke through with the ball on the flank, and Silva stepped forward for a vicious tackle! Both teams are very serious about this game, and it seems that both sides regard this game as a competition for the league title! Carragher was not surprised.

"Jones! Jones! Chelsea! Chelsea! Offensive! Offensive! The shouts of the Blues fans in the stands were always there, and although the Chelsea players did not have a good advantage on the pitch, the fans were still excited to cheer the team on.

Perhaps hearing the cheers of the fans, Jones dodged with his left foot over De Bruyne in a feint on the pitch, and then pushed straight to the forward Drinkwater, and himself into the Manchester City penalty area.

'Drinkwater with the ball, Chelsea's quick attack, a couple of back-to-back combinations inside the City penalty area, Drinkwater's diagonal pass, Jones with the ball......"

At this time, Jones, who was running, had no choice but to make a sudden stop, and tried his best to stretch out his right foot to stop the football that fell behind him, but the inertia of his body still made his body have no time to react, and the football crossed Jones's toe and was cleared by De Bruyne, who was in position.

Koudic frustrated his arm on the sidelines, another mistake in front of goal, and several shots were missed in the vicinity of the Manchester City penalty area.

Chelsea's attack had already been played, and if Drinkwater had been able to slip the ball between the two centre-backs, Jones would have been able to shoot straight to the goal.

"Jones didn't get enough of the pass, but it's a bad opportunity!" Neville shook his head.

"My bad! Not next time! Drinkwater said with Jones, who reflexively returned to the court together.

"It's okay, the ball is passed very well, it's me who is one step slower, so I can't get it!" Jones knew he and Eden Hazard were the backbone of the team now, and many people saw them as flags on the pitch, and Jones did not hit his team-mates and encouraged them.

City then played a brilliant counter-attack, which ended with Beneteau Silva cutting inside from the left, which was saved by Courtois.

"Beneteau Silvane shoots, the ball is saved by Courtois, Cesc Fabregas takes the ball, Fabregas plays a long pass, beautiful, Willian cuts through the combination of full-backs, Willian gets up and shoots ......"

The Manchester City fans in the stands exclaimed, because the shot hit the side-netting at great speed, setting off a wave, and if you don't look closely, you think it was the goal that went in.

William shook his head regretfully, and gave Fabregas a thumbs up from afar, Fabregas sighed secretly, if it were Hazard and Jones, there was a chance that they would be able to enter, and if there was a top striker before a good midfielder, it would be the happiness of the midfielder.

Because they can turn your passes into assists again and again, and they can also open up space for you in front of defenders, but Cesc Fabregas doesn't think much about that and puts his mind back into the game!

'Manchester City were too passive in this game, it was basically difficult to beat Chelsea's half!' Carragher talks to Neville.

"Yes, they were a little bit suppressed, and after losing the last final against Chelsea, the momentum was a little low, and Chelsea started attacking wave after wave, and if this continues, Manchester City will have to concede goals sooner or later, and Manchester City will have to find a way to attack it now!"

"I think there was a bit of a problem with Manchester City's midfield in this game!"

"Yes, I guess Guardiola didn't expect before the game that his team's middle would be so easy to be penetrated by Chelsea, De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Silva have no level of defense, and a direct pass to Jones or Willian will directly face the defender, and there is a lot of pressure on Otamendi and Kyle Walker today!"

……

The Manchester City fans in the home stands couldn't help it for a long time, seeing the team so passive, they all automatically stood up and sang all the time!

De Bruyne is the most tired of Manchester City players, these more than 30 minutes, too fast, Chelsea attack too fast, he just keeps chasing back, plugging holes everywhere, glancing at the sidelines, Guardiola is silent, just occasionally wave his hand forward, signaling the team to attack, how to attack? De Bruyne was also helpless and could only keep running on the pitch.

After 35 minutes of the game, Manchester City finally organized a wave of attack!

Sergio Aguero received a through ball from Gundogan and hit the ball straight at goal, but the ball was blocked by Christensen's right foot, and before the City players could start to defend, Cesc Fabregas kicked the ball directly into the Manchester City half.

Chelsea then went on another wave of attack, Jones, Jones again, Jones burst on the wing, picked up the box with his right foot, Hazard quickly cut in, crossed the wing, Willian! Willian take the ball! Direct shot! Shoot slightly over the crossbar!

Pep Guardiola has exploded on the sidelines, he has already lost some of his temper, and many Manchester City fans are silent, the team has been pressed by Chelsea since the beginning, and now the Chelsea players hit their hearts with every shot, and their confidence is being hit!

Neville shook his head and said: "Manchester City is a bit stunned by Chelsea in this game! ”

"Yes, Manchester City's players are a bit of a mess, Guardiola needs to adjust quickly, otherwise the next Chelsea attack, it is possible to continue to score!" Carragher agreed.

However, Guardiola knows that he can't change people now, which will disturb the morale of the army even more, and if he loses, doesn't it mean that he takes the initiative to take the blame? We have to wait until half-time to get it, Guardiola thought to himself.
