After the resumption of the second half, all Chelsea members were in high spirits and launched a fierce attack on the Manchester City goal, and for a moment City were once again suppressed.

But City were not as passive as they were at the start of the first half, and the players were already used to the game and they knew how to deal with the attack.

Shrinking the line of defense is certain, but it can't be completely contracted, but there is tension and relaxation, the players in front of the formation still run back and forth in the middle line, they form the first line of defense, and the defensive midfielder is in front of the back line, and then there is the back line.

In this way, Manchester City has formed a 'two fronts' to deal with Chelsea's attack, the mid-line defensive line is still very strong, the frontcourt players continue to run and intercept, which will bring a lot of trouble to Chelsea's attack, they want to break through this line of defense, and then they have to face the second line of defense, Manchester City's back line is very strong, under the leadership of the experienced Dunn, the backfield players are also very active, they will try to keep Chelsea's 'scoring points'.

At this time, Wansheng's pre-match advice was reflected.

For Chelsea's defense, you must not keep an eye on everyone on the other side, and selective marking is very important, so Shepchenko is often not taken seriously, and Drogba, Lampard and others are focused on defending.

This kind of defense is definitely easy to give Shepchenko a chance, but there is no way, the defensive side is passive and can't always keep an eye on all the points, so it is estimated that 22 players and teammates will have to play.

Fortunately, just as Wan Sheng thought, Shepchenko was not in the state.

Jose Mourinho did not choose to replace Shepchenko in the second half, perhaps he wanted to give the Ukrainian star more time to find form. But Shepchenko still didn't do much, and many people had a feeling that Shepchenko's presence in the front court seemed to be to set off Kopelle Ferreira's excellent defense. It is estimated that Shepchenko would definitely turn black if he knew what everyone thought, but apparently he behaved like this.

When the 'abandoned' Shepchenko did not perform well, Chelsea's attack was quite weak, because Frank Lampard, Drogba and others were all defended to death.

Whenever Frank Lampard gets the ball in front of the box, two players come to mark and he doesn't even get to shoot from distance. Frank Lampard is also not good at making brilliant passes, and with Didier Drogba being very well defended, Chelsea's attack has been fruitless time and time again.

At this time, many Chelsea players were puzzled. They obviously played very smoothly and were in good shape, so why couldn't they find a chance in front of goal?

When there is a doubt, they have to look for the reason, and they find out quickly. They seem to be one less than Manchester City?

It's not really a reduction in numbers. It's a feeling, like sometimes they go to play against the opponent after they get sent off, and the feeling of one less person in the game is obvious, so why less now?

The on-site commentator gave the answer, "Look at this shot!" Heysheva doesn't seem to be in shape at all! It looks like he hasn't adapted to the Premier League yet'

Here's why.

Shepchenko's performances were so poor that he was the least defended in the whole Chelsea team, but he was always wasting chances and he looked completely out of shape. It's like sleepwalking.

Seeing Shepchenko's performance, Wan Sheng smiled reassuringly.

In the memories of a past life. He knew that when Shepchenko arrived at Chelsea, it was the beginning of the end of his career, but he didn't know exactly how bad Chelsea's performance was, so before the game, it was also a gamble and a must - in any case, Shepchenko would not be a bigger threat than Drogba, so he must guard Drogba.

Now it seems that he was lucky and won the bet.

Shepchenko has not adapted to Chelsea at all, adapted to the Premier League, he is not in form at all, such Shepchenko has nothing to be afraid of, perhaps, from this moment on, Shepchenko has lost his magical aura, he is no longer the 'Ukrainian nuclear warhead' that makes opponents tremble.

Of course, this is good news for Manchester City.

However, Wan Sheng frowned when he saw the team's counter-attack, and he found that Chelsea had changed their defensive strategy.

In the first half, when Manchester City attacked, Chelsea would be the first to shrink the defensive line, and the frontcourt players would run desperately back, but now it is different, after Chelsea played a wave of attacks, they did not shrink the defensive line, but the back line collectively pressed forward.

What is this for? Desperate to do your best to besiege? It's a little too early.

Soon it became clear to Wansheng.

City's two successive waves of attacks ended in offside players, the first was Anelka, he didn't expect the Chelsea back line to suddenly press forward, he was not prepared for this, and the result was directly offside, the second time was Downing, who ran too far forward on his wing, and when Morris passed a long pass, he was already in an offside position.

It's offside!

Wansheng understands that Chelsea is deliberately creating offside!

Wan Sheng turned his head to look at Mourinho, who was also standing on the sidelines, and it happened that Mourinho also looked over, and the two looked at each other with cold faces, and they both turned their heads.

From Mourinho's expression, it is difficult to see anything, but Chelsea's defensive tactics are indeed creating offsides, which is certain, one or two offsides, it can be said that the player plays a problem, but the continuous offside is not just playing, but the opponent intends to do so.

Wan Sheng looked at the court and began to think carefully about the use of the other party's actions.

This style of play is very effective.

Ten minutes into the second half, Manchester City's several waves of attacks were all defused by offside traps, and then Chelsea took the initiative, and they even had more time on the ball than Manchester City, so Chelsea gained the advantage of the situation, although their attack actually caused a lot of threat, but it was not easy to take the initiative in the game, you know, in the second half of the first half, Chelsea was almost pressed by Manchester City.

With this kind of tactic to think of against Manchester City, Mourinho is worthy of leading Porto to the top of Europe.

In the memory of his previous life, Mourinho was quite successful. If it weren't for themselves, Chelsea would have won both titles, of course. It's completely different now that he has himself, he and Mourinho don't have a personal vendetta, but the world of football is like that, there is only one winner, and now in the same Premier League, there can only be one winner.

Wan Sheng was sure that it would be him.

Mourinho's adjustment was simple. It is to use offside to counter Manchester City's advantage in possession and squeeze Manchester City's attacking space, which has many benefits. But one thing is for sure, it's also very dangerous to do so, because if the anti-offside is successful, the Chelsea goal will be in front of the Manchester City striker.

So all that needs to be done now is to play more through balls!

This is the most direct means!

Wan Sheng smiled.

He suddenly realized that he was actually very successful. Able to put Mourinho's Chelsea. Forced to use this kind of risky tactic, there are not many teams in the world that can do it, right? But his Manchester City did just that.

After some self-absorption, Wansheng quickly adjusted.

He didn't choose to make a substitution, he just called Morris and told him to let the others play more through balls, and now Morris is the captain of the field and has a lot of authority in the team, telling him that one person is enough.

After you are done. Wan Sheng returned to the coach's seat and sat down with peace of mind.

The next game will depend on the players' performance, but he believes it will be Manchester City who will win in the end.

The opponent's offside tactics were very aimed at Manchester City. It's also dangerous to be offside, they make 100 offsides, and they only defend 100 times, but if one is not successful, then the team has a chance to face the goal, which could probably mean a goal.

What Mourinho wants to fight with himself is time and opportunity.

This tactic is easy to have problems after a long time, after all, no one can guarantee that it will always be successful, but at the same time, this style of play just restrains Manchester City's possession, because Manchester City needs space to control the ball, Chelsea squeeze the space, Manchester City can't pass the ball wantonly, at least not in the front court, so Chelsea have more space and time, and they use these advantages to want to complete the goal.

As long as they can score more goals than Manchester City, they will win.

Perhaps the only thing Mourinho didn't expect was that Chelsea's attack was so weak, and they dominated the pitch for so long and still failed to score any goals.

It seems that if this game is won, it must be thanks to Shepchenko that the team's goal can be so stable because of the poor performance of this Ukrainian star

The race continued to rage.

Chelsea's defenders have grown accustomed to playing offside and although they rarely practise this dangerous defensive tactic, they are some of the best defenders in the world and they know what to do, the only thing they need is a sense of cooperation.

After such a few successful defenses, they also have some tacit understanding with each other.

They are very cautious defensively, always keeping an eye on Nicolas Anelka at the front, David Silva and Downing are also their key targets, and they know that these three players are the most likely to appear at the front of City's formation.

And so it goes.

Anelka, as the only striker, naturally has to rush forward, and sometimes when he runs and pulls back, Downing and David Silva can rush through.

Manchester City already understand Chelsea's style of play, so when Manchester City attack, there will be some changes in the movement of several people, Anelka will sometimes suddenly retreat to test Chelsea's defense, which is a headache, because they don't know if this retreat is a signal for Manchester City to attack, of course, at the same time, it also requires the tacit cooperation of several Manchester City players.

Several players in Manchester City's midfield could create chances for Abelka.

Maurice and David Silva are both good passers, with excellent footwork and awareness, and they will pass the ball when it is most suitable, and if Chelsea's back line can't react, then Anelka could have a great chance.

So at full time, Chelsea's back line is under the most pressure and they're going through the toughest test.

If it was a young striker with average strength, he might have been defeated by offside again and again, but Anelka is different, he is a genius, although there are some character problems, but his ability is recognized by everyone, even if he has been offside a few times, but Anelka is still in good spirits, and he even occasionally retreats to 'tease' the Chelsea backline, you know, this back line is led by Terry and Carvalho, few strikers dare to do this, but Anelka doesn't care at all, which also makes Terry and other people grit their teeth with hatred.

At the same time, Anelka has to keep an eye on his teammates' movements.

He knows that both Morris and the young David Silva are trustworthy teammates and when the football is at the feet of the two men, it is possible that it will come straight to him, and that will be his chance, and it will be the moment for him to perform.

Anelka likes this feeling because he is the focal point of both teams and the protagonist of the whole game

City launched a wave of attacking action when Joey Barton kicked the ball into Morris, who glanced ahead and the Chelsea backline immediately tensed.

Morris then passed the ball to the wing and to Downing.

Downing ran a few steps with the ball, and when Ballack met him, he passed to David Silva, and then ran forward again, David Silva took a step forward, and then made a push and pass, at which point, he turned into a kick and smothered the ball at the back of the ball, while making a stealthy gesture forward.

Anelka received the signal and immediately rushed forward.

The Chelsea defence didn't react at all because David Silva was still on the halfway line when he passed the ball, which was a bit too far away and it was a long ball.

Anelka successfully countered offside and ran straight to the front.

"Danger!" Chelseans are aware.

Manchester City fans are shouting excitedly, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity!

But this chance was not so good, although the anti-offside position was successful, but David Silva's long ball was not easy to stop, Anelka ran forward as best he could, and when he ran to the position, Terry followed.

That's when Anelka showed his skills.

He squeezed Terry as he ran, and as he stretched out his heel to unload the ball, the ball rolled forward as it could, and Anelka followed suit!

"Anelka! Golden opportunity! ”

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate yelled.

It's a pity that the difficulty of this ball is too high, Anelka tried his best to stop a little too much, Chelsea goalkeeper Cech attacked in time, he took the ball in his arms first, and Anelka, who rushed wildly, almost collided with Cech.

"Whew"

Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief.

The Chelsea players on the pitch also exhaled a long breath, the ball was too dangerous just now, even if Anelka's strength was a little less, he could have chased the ball one step ahead of Cech, and they could already imagine what it would be like.

Fortunately, the goal was not scored, the score was still 0:1, and they still had a chance.

Wan Sheng sat in the coach's box, and it was a pity that he didn't score, but seeing this goal, he felt more relaxed, and then the pressure was on Chelsea's side, and it was them who should be worried, and Manchester City was one goal ahead, there was nothing to worry about. (To be continued.) )
