Before the game, the media were unanimously optimistic about Chelsea, and even Manchester City's media were a little pessimistic about the outcome of the game.

The media and the fans are different.

Many fans just blindly support the team, they don't care about the lineup, tactics, history and the like, support is support, last season Manchester City won the league title, they have more and more confidence in the team, and think that the team is the top team in the Premier League, fully capable of competing with Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and other teams.

But even if the media supports the team, they need reasons to convince themselves, convince their fans, have confidence in the team, and analyze the team's actions to show whether the team's strength has grown, but compared to the line-ups of Manchester City and Chelsea, the gap is really big, and in addition, the most influential is the summer transfer.

Chelsea's two big deals, the addition of Ballack and Shepchenko, are all transfer news that shocked the world football, coupled with the addition of tens of millions of young stars such as Kalou and Mikel, it is even more imposing for Chelsea, and it must be admitted that Chelsea's squad has reached the world's top level, after all, the investment of 100 million euros is not just casually said, this money is even enough to buy an ordinary Premier League team.

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho is a championship coach, he once led Porto to win the treble, the coaching ability is certain, in this regard, at least not weaker than Wan Sheng, in several aspects, Chelsea and Manchester City, the advantage is too great, plus this game is played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea relies on home advantage, how can it not lose to Manchester City, right?

Here's the pre-match media analysis.

The London media simply said 'Chelsea must win', and the Manchester media also lamented that 'the game is not easy to play'. But look at now, in the final time of the game, it is unimaginable that Chelsea is two goals behind!

It's unimaginable!!

Chelsea's situation is even more 'miserable' than last season's when the two teams met.

Back last season, Manchester City and Chelsea played each other, although Manchester City had the upper hand with 1 win and 1 draw, but both games were very difficult. Even Chelsea have been in the driver's seat for a long time, and there was definitely an element of luck in Manchester City's victory.

Now this game can see that Manchester City and Chelsea are evenly matched, and Manchester City have also taken some advantage. In terms of their ability to take chances, Manchester City still had the upper hand, so City scored two goals and Chelsea did not score one.

When the two teams play each other, Manchester City is not left behind at all, so the victory is not luck, but real strength.

To sum up. It is now this Manchester City team that is not weaker than Chelsea at all!

This conclusion is hard to believe.

Compared with the Manchester City and Chelsea lineups, the gap is still quite large.

Manchester City's most valuable and famous player is nothing but Anelka, maybe one more Morris can be added now, and then the other players are very ordinary, even David Silva has only been in the top flight for one season, and the time is too short, and he has not experienced a transfer. Other players, such as Ziegler, Ivan Crewe and newcomers Mesut Ozil and Boateng, were all single-handedly mined by Wan Sheng, similar to David Silva. Perhaps only by the end of the season will their outstanding performance lead to a significant increase in value, along with others like Dunn, Joey Barton, and others. It's the old players of Manchester City, their strength is on the bright side, there is nothing special to say. Either way, Manchester City is nothing compared to Chelsea's flashy squad.

But now that City's squad is cheering and celebrating their two-goal lead, the Chelsea stars are left with nothing to see as they can imagine the game going to be like this.

Before the game, they thought it would be an opportunity to prove Chelsea's strength, but now they are two goals down at home.

It's a score they can't accept.

So when the game resumed, the Chelsea players were impatient, and several of the front-court players were a bit of a solo player, and they were completely out of order, and then Mourinho's 'bet-and-bet' spirit came into play, and he let the whole team press forward and sent on another striker, Mikel, the Nigerian youngster that Chelsea brought in in the summer, and they even spent £16 million on it.

So Chelsea changed from the original 442 to 433 again, plus Joe Cole, who was almost at the forefront of the formation, it can be said that Chelsea has now become a four-striker on the field.

Mourinho hopes to use a few strikers to spell out the last chance!

Kalou, who had played before, and Mikel, who had just come on, were both working hard, so it was a great opportunity for both of them.

They are excited to join Chelsea, but they also know that competition at Chelsea will be tough, whether it is Shepchenko and Drogba up front, Frank Lampard and Ballack in midfield, or even wide Arjen Robben and Joe Cole are all well-known stars, and it will not be easy for them to find a place at Chelsea.

Now is the opportunity.

Chelsea are two goals down, and if the two can score, it will definitely get a different look from manager Jose Mourinho, and there will definitely be more playing time in the future.

The only thing is that it's not easy for them to perform.

It's not about adapting to the team, team-mates, it's all about Chelsea playing chaotically as a whole, it's hard for them to get the pass, and even if they do, it's hard to deal with City's defence alone.

They already feel the toughness of City's defence.

The most obvious of the two is Kalou, a standard striker who has previously played in the Dutch league, and he has made a name for himself with the Feyenoord front three of Kuyt, Kalou Jr. and Kaström, who swept through Tulip Country.

Kalou was prepared to defend in the Premier League, but he didn't expect his first appearance to be so difficult, whenever he ran up front, there was always a player who came to defend closely, this is a Portuguese central defender, the name seems to be called Kopelle? He's not so sure, the only thing that's certain is that this guy's defense is really good.

Before off the field, when Kalou saw Shepchenko being killed by this guy again and again, he just thought that Shepchenko was in a bad state, but now he knows why Shepchenko is playing so hard.

This Portuguese defensive player is so physical, tall and strong, he can't squeeze it at all, this kind of tough defense is really very difficult. What's more, this guy's one-on-one defensive skills are still very good, as long as he doesn't pay attention, the football will be snatched away, in addition, the opponent's bounce is very good, the defense of high-altitude balls is quite good, just a teammate picked up two passes, and he flew in advance.

Kalou felt helpless and had to admit it. It would be difficult to break through the Copelle Ferreira defence on his own.

So he began to seek the cooperation of his teammates.

But now Chelsea's attack is very chaotic, and it is already good for teammates to pass the ball in an organized manner, and in addition, Chelsea's style of play is already very tough and direct, and it is very difficult to play a deft attack like the Dutch team.

Kalou didn't get a chance at all up front and he was completely bogged down in City's defensive quagmire.

At the same time, Drogba on the other side is no better.

He's more experienced than Kalou, he's more comfortable in the Premier League, he's better at working with his team-mates, and he's a bit more individual than Kalou. There are a lot of advantages, but Manchester City also defends him tighter!

Kalou has to face one defender and Drogba has to face two, one of whom must be Dunn, a veteran of Manchester City. He has been with Manchester City since 2000 and has been a regular defender, even at the heart of the defence two years ago. When it comes to the most consistent and outstanding centre-backs in the Premier League, Dunn can definitely be in the top five, facing this kind of defense with a centre-back. Even Drogba has a headache, not to mention that whenever he gets the ball, he has to defend against other players who have come to defend him.

Drogba had fewer chances than Kalou, and at this point, he missed his two departed team-mates.

Goode Johnson and Damion Duff

Gudjohnson and Drogba are rivals, but when they are on the pitch at the same time, Johnson will take the initiative to do some 'blue-collar' work, such as helping Drogba attract the defence or have the opportunity to pass a good ball; Darmion Duff is a wing-back, but he rarely carries the ball himself, prefers to cooperate with his team-mates, he is not brilliant in Chelsea games, but he gives Drogba a lot of support.

Now these two good teammates are gone, the rest of Joe Cole and Robben like to carry the ball themselves, even cut inside the middle, or just come on the side to make a big foot, Kalou, Mikel are all newcomers, there is no need to talk about anything about cooperation, Lampard, Ballack, they have a chance outside the box to shoot directly, there is no need to pass the ball at all, the point is, when they do this, others will take it for granted, they are the world's top stars, more famous than themselves.

Drogba felt helpless, he was still more depressed than Kalou.

He suddenly felt a little envious of Anelka.

Drogba thinks he is no weaker than Anelka, but he can't get as much support as Anelka did at City.

Manchester City's squad is not as good as Chelsea, but Anelka is Manchester City's steady main striker, with David Silva behind him, Morris, and Ivan Crewe and Downing on the wing, these players are very good, and they are all good at working with teammates, and it is no wonder that Anelka can compete with Henry for the scorer list even if he is injured for two months.

Didier Drogba, on the other hand, came close to scoring goals against Frank Lampard last season.

That's the difference between the different teams

Most of Chelsea's team pressed City in attack, but they didn't find too many good chances, and the occasional shot on goal was difficult to threaten.

Wan Sheng looked at the team's defense and was very satisfied.

Manchester City play attacking football, but the basis of this tactic is actually defence, in the preparation training, the team puts more defense than attack, for example, now, when being pressed by Chelsea, the team formation will not be messed up, and every player knows what needs to be done.

Comparatively, the attacking Chelsea are a mess.

If they play a little more disciplined, they can certainly pose a threat to Manchester City, even direct goals, but Chelsea have panicked, they are two goals down, they are too desperate to score, this mentality is definitely not 100 per cent.

Wan Sheng is not complacent because of this, in the memory of the previous life, this season's Chelsea is indeed a little chaotic, perhaps because of the two consecutive seasons of the league championship, the team's fighting spirit was affected, or maybe it was also because of the arrival of Szepchenko, Ballack and other players, so that half of Chelsea's squad has undergone a major change, or it may be that club president Abramovich and head coach Mourinho have contradictions. All in all, for whatever reason, Chelsea have not been in good form this season and they have not been able to win the league title in the end.

At the time, it was a memory of a previous life, he had already made a big impact here, Chelsea didn't win the league title, so it's hard to say about this season.

But there is another team that is sure to return to the top of the Premier League, and that is Manchester United.

After a series of takeovers, United have stabilised. With Ruud van Nistelrooy and Keane gone, there were no internal problems in the team, so they began to stick together and strive for better results.

A Manchester United with no internal contradictions and full force under the leadership of Alex Ferguson is terrible, especially Manchester United and Manchester City are still mortal enemies, Wan Sheng can already imagine what kind of competition the team will face this season, so now win against Chelsea. In fact, it is just the beginning.

In addition, the team has the Champions League.

Champions League

That's what Wansheng is looking forward to the most, and he hasn't led the team to play in the Champions League since he took charge. It's the top stage of European clubs, where he'll meet top opponents in other leagues, think AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich. Wait, these opponents are really exciting!

In the final 10 minutes of the game, Chelsea had completely given up hope of victory. They are constantly attacking just to get a goal, they are not willing to be beaten 0-2, they always want to score.

But City's defence is tight, and the most lethal thing is that when Chelsea attack too far forward, it is easy for City to launch dangerous and quick counter-attacks, which have Chelsea panic at the back every time.

And so the third goal came.

This is in the 85th minute of the game, Morris passed directly to Anelka, Anelka rushed forward with the ball, the speed was very fast, Terry started a little slower, and he couldn't stop it at all, Anelka faced the attacking goalkeeper Cech, calmly shook off with a feint, and immediately pushed the ball into the net.

0：3！

It was a goal that killed all hope for Chelsea!

“0:3！ 0:3！ Anelka scored City's third goal! It was also his second goal in the game, scoring twice! ”

'The French striker was brilliant in the game and he was very calm against Cech!'

"The game ended early! Congratulations Manchester City! ”

'0:3 at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea haven't lost so badly since '04, you know, it's still a home game, three goals were scored, I can't imagine it! Some of the Chelsea fans in the stands had already left the stadium early and it was clear that they were very disappointed with the game'

"Maybe Mourinho should reflect on why he has so many superstars, but he failed to break the Manchester City goal in the 90th minute, but was scored three goals by Manchester City?"

“”

Wansheng began to make substitutions.

Playing at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea is a great opportunity for some young players to gain experience.

He first replaced the 'hero' Anelka, who had just scored, and Anelka went off the pitch in excitement, which was cheered unanimously by all Manchester City fans, and even some neutral fans and media applauded Anelka, and Anelka's performance was indeed very good in this game.

Subsequently, Wan Sheng replaced Morris and let Ozil adapt to the game.

"This is a German youngster introduced by Manchester City in the summer, he previously played for Schalke 04, only had an appearance record, and his performance was average, but he can be noticed by Wansheng and brought to Manchester City, which is enough to show his potential, maybe we should expect the German youngster to grow"

Many Manchester City fans also sent their best wishes to Mesut Ozil.

Ozil was a little thrilled for his debut, and although he was a bit precocious compared to his peers, he was so excited to play in the first round of the Premier League's most talked-about league game that he even felt his legs tremble again.

At this time, Wan Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Just to adapt to the game, don't be nervous." ”

Ozil nodded vigorously.

He then hugged Morris as he walked off the field and walked onto the court.

Wan Sheng didn't expect anything from Ozil, he just wanted him to play to get used to the atmosphere, but what Wan Sheng didn't expect was that in the last few minutes, Ozil still had a performance.

It was a win on the ball, and Ozil shook off Frank Lampard at the beginning of the dozen metres in front of the penalty area, and then crossed straight to the left corner of the penalty area, creating a good chance, but Downing, who was on his heels, did not react and failed to seize the opportunity.

Seeing this outstanding, Wan Sheng couldn't help but sigh on the sidelines, "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers"

If you are a young player, you will definitely be very nervous against Frank Lampard, and who would have thought that Mesut Ozil would dare to deceive Lampard with technology? I guess Lampard couldn't have thought of it himself, so he was just shaken away.

The poor performance in the game, the big loss and the outstanding performance of the 'rival' Morris were enough to frustrate him, and now he was deceived by a young Manchester City player, and Lampard's fists were clenched hard.

If it weren't for the good professionalism, he didn't know if he could bear not to do something.

Eventually, however, Lampard watched the referee blow the whistle and the game came to an end with his disappointed eyes.

0:3。

Manchester City won the first round of the league against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge! (To be continued.) )
