Brummer was a bit of a shame that he couldn't get back on the scoresheet.

The fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret, and only the Chelsea fans let out a long breath.

It was too dangerous to shoot and thankfully goalkeeper Petr Cech did well to save the ball and it was followed by a Manchester City corner.

Ljungberg took a corner kick and found Torres in place, but Terry defended very tightly and the ball was pushed off the touchline by Terry.

City's attack resumed, but in the end, successive attacks failed to break down Cech's conservative goal, and they rearranged their formation to meet Chelsea's attack.

The Manchester City players were not disappointed not to score, the game had just started and they were confident of a victory.

That confidence is different from Chelsea.

Chelsea are trying to win, and in fact, it is not clear how much confidence they can have to beat Manchester City, and the confidence of the Manchester City players is on the outside.

Against Chelsea, Manchester City have a mental advantage.

Under the influence of Wansheng, every player has the determination and belief to win.

――――

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, watching the team's offensive with a relaxed and expectant smile on his face.

Why do teams play with the 'OS-F' system?

Chelsea are old rivals of Manchester City, and they know how to deal with Manchester City's 'OS-F' style of play, but knowing it does not necessarily mean that they can crack it, especially since Manchester City are the strongest now.

A lot of young players have grown up and there are no key players who can't play.

It's different from the usual leagues.

In the usual league, there will be some main players in the team who cannot play, either because of injuries or because of bans, so in order to give the team a better chance to win, Wansheng will use a 'tricky' style of play to increase the chance of winning.

Now it is Manchester City with a complete lineup, the team uses the best style of play, it is definitely one of the most powerful teams on the planet, they don't need to use any 'tricks' to play, just use the team's best tactics, Wansheng believes that Chelsea will not be an opponent.

By the time the game had progressed, the whole team had already played with a feeling.

Even if this wave of attacks fails to break through the Chelsea goal, Wansheng believes that it is Chelsea who should be worried, because it is only a matter of time before he scores.

――――

When Chelsea finished a wave of attacks, City's attack returned.

In the face of Chelsea's pressing blockade of the midfield, Manchester City responded with constant passing and running, so that Chelsea's defense had no way at all, they could only run behind the Manchester City players, do some pressing restrictions, but there was no good way to snatch the ball from the feet of the Manchester City players.

Perhaps more importantly, City's attack was not structured at all.

From the stand, City don't even have a formation to speak of, sometimes just a few players pressing up, sometimes a lot of players running back, but the football has always been under the control of Manchester City.

It will be very difficult for Chelsea to rely on their built-in defensive formation to intercept Manchester City.

British BBC radio commentator Ryan John said, "Chelsea have become very passive, they have been held back by Manchester City ......"

There are many people who see this, and the French commentator directly said, "Chelsea's tactics are a dimension different from Manchester City!" The two teams are not playing at the same level at all, and watching this game, we can understand why Manchester City have been able to win the Premier League title for three consecutive years. ”

There are also Spanish media who compare Manchester City's style of play with Barcelona and conclude that "Manchester City and Barcelona both play control, but Manchester City is faster, the players are more flexible in their running, and they are more targeted in attack." ”

"Seeing this game, we feel that it is normal for Barcelona to lose to a team like this. Maybe the current Manchester City is Barcelona's goal next year! ”

Of course, there are other things that do this.

Pure Barcelona fans will definitely not admit that their strength and style of play lag behind a Premier League team, but even so, fans have to admit that Manchester City played quite beautifully.

Some Catalan media couldn't help but recall the contest between Manchester City and Barcelona, and wondered, "Manchester City can play such a smooth football, why don't they fight against Barcelona and choose to play defensive counterattacks?" ”

Cause?

The British media will explain to the Spaniards, "The team that wins is to use whatever tactics are more likely to win." ”

"Chelsea are a bit rough in terms of technique and coordination compared to Manchester City, so Manchester City have adopted the 'OS-F' system that they are best at......

If Wansheng hears the words of this commentator, he will definitely feel that the other party knows himself too well!

Football is about winning!

What tactics are most advantageous to use, then you must use whatever tactics you play!

Even if Manchester City's offensive ability and overall strength are not weaker than Barcelona's, it is very likely to win in a head-to-head battle...... But it's better to win the defensive counterattack, and don't look at Barcelona's two legs, losing to Manchester City without suspense?

Victory is the most important thing.

――――

Time and time again, Manchester City have put the ball in dangerous positions, making Chelsea's defence stretched, from coaches to players, from players to fans, everyone is worried about Chelsea's goal.

By this time, Grant had also found that the team's targeted defense was not very effective.

He was surprised.

Why is it so detailed that it doesn't work against every player in Manchester City?

For a moment, Grant's mind was a little dazed.

But no matter how surprised the Israelis were, they couldn't affect the game, and Manchester City continued to control the football, and they continued to tentatively pass the ball into dangerous areas.

Faced with this kind of defence, the Chelsea players had to keep running and try to disrupt City's defence and look for opportunities to steal the ball.

Chelsea have managed once or twice since the start of the game, but most of the time their movement has not made much of a difference, City should pass or pass, look for chances or look for chances.

Seeing the constant danger in his own goal, Grant couldn't sit still.

He stood up and stared at the game with a furrowed brow.

Things are not good.

But City's pressing was only just beginning, and the Chelsea players were a little flustered when they found out that their targeted defence had little effect.

They weren't prepared at all.

You know, Manchester City have an FA Cup final to play before the Champions League final, so they have more preparation time than Manchester City.

They prepared for the Champions League final for more than ten days, and the coaching staff worked with them to study Manchester City's style of play over and over again, analyze the ability of each player in Manchester City, and then make corresponding defensive strategies.

All these preparations are useless?

It felt like trying hard for a long time and getting nothing, and it was more frightening to them than conceding a goal.

Fortunately, the starting Chelsea players have many experienced and calm veteran players, such as Ballack, Makelele, Lampard, Terry, Drogba and others, they have all experienced many major tournaments, and their rich experience also allows them to try to maintain a calm heart when facing setbacks, so after their defense was chaotic for a while, they quickly became calm under the command.

Next, they also played a good offensive wave.

Makelele's through ball allowed Drogba to find the opportunity, and Mr. 'Monster' headed to Anelka, and the Frenchman slotted home a shot straight on.

It didn't pose much of a threat, but it lifted Chelsea's morale a lot.

But a single attack can't change the situation on the field, not to mention, the attack hasn't posed much of a threat.

With 25 minutes to go, almost everyone who was watching the game found that the initiative was firmly in the hands of Manchester City, who were constantly attacking, and all Chelsea could do was defend passively and occasionally counter-attack.

Chelsea's original tactics of taking the initiative to fight have turned into defensive counter-attacks.

Seeing the situation on the field, Wan Sheng laughed softly.

He believes that as the game progresses, the team's advantage will become bigger and bigger, as long as the situation is in control, even if it is delayed in scoring goals, the team will be undefeated, because the opponent can not play a threat in the normal advance except for the occasional counterattack!

"Offense is the best defense!"

Manchester City on the field is a perfect interpretation of this.

Fans all over the world have seen Manchester City's performance, and Russian fans at the scene have also seen the gap between their own country's football and the world's top teams.

In fact, Russian fans come to see the Champions League just to find a good opportunity to 'join in the fun', and many of them of course support Chelsea, because Chelsea is Roman Abramovich's team, and Roman Abramovich is a pure Russian.

But as the game progressed, and as Manchester City's performance got better and better, some Russian fans turned to support Manchester City, because Manchester City played more beautiful football and played more excitingly, compared to Chelsea.

The same is true on the field.

Chelsea were getting more and more impatient and the score remained 0-0, but they knew they could not afford to let City control the game, otherwise they would have little chance.

They tried to complete the rebuttal, but failed again and again, leaving the players with some uncertainty - can we really beat this mighty Manchester City team?

At this time, Wan Sheng also sat in the coach's seat.

He sat in his position, crossed Erlang's legs, and his expression and movements looked relaxed.

This scene was captured on camera, and BBC Sports TV commentator Ryan John couldn't help but say, "Manchester City's game, many times Wan Sheng will stand on the sidelines, but looking at the way he looks now, it seems that there is no worry about the game......

Just like Ryan John said, Wan Sheng really doesn't worry about anything, and the decisive battle has begun to be revealed by now!

――――

The more Chelsea played, the more disorganized they became.

The situation was disappointing for Chelsea fans, who were hoping to pick themselves up and hit back with a powerful attack.

But the offense has been slow to see, but there are frequent crises in his own goal.

Next to the podium, Abramovich watched the match, his performance getting colder and colder, in fact, he was looking forward to winning the most.

This time the Champions League final was held in Moscow, and it can be said that Abramovich is equivalent to 'returning home', which is reported by many Russian media.

Abramovich's political position in Russia is actually very embarrassing, the Russian government has been weakening the influence of the 'oligarchs', and Abramovich is one of the 'oligarchs', many Russian people are very resistant to him, this time Abramovich hopes to use the victory in the Champions League final to reshape his domestic image of Russia, in order to win more people's support.

Although he has no intention of going back into politics, Abramovich still hopes that his image in Russia will be better.

But by now, victory seems to be far away.

Chelsea didn't look like they could win at all, and even if Manchester City didn't score, it was too ugly to play, right?

Abramovich stared at the game on the pitch, his eyes flickering with exasperation, and turned to the Israeli in the Chelsea dugout.

If the team plays like this, it's the coach's problem!

The obvious contrast is that the opponent, Manchester City's manager, the young Chinese after taking charge of Manchester City, Manchester City's results have risen all the way, won one title after another and honors, and now in the Champions League final, completely suppressing Chelsea.

What about Chelsea?

Over the course of several seasons, he invested so much money that Europeans thought that Chelsea Football Club was the 'wronged boss' and that the same players would be sold to Chelsea for a little more expensive.

But the result?

Chelsea have always been second and third in the league and have not made a breakthrough in the Champions League.

It's not a manager's problem, what else could it be?

――――

While Roman Abramovich was still annoyed by Chelsea's passivity, City launched another wave of attacks, taking advantage of the constant flow of quick passes, and they passed the ball to the edge of the box smoothly.

A lot of players are in this position and can shoot with their feet, so it's very dangerous here.

Chelsea fans are starting to get worried.

In fact, in the beginning, Chelsea fans were not too worried about the presence of football near the penalty area, but as time went on and the number of times City threatened the goal, they became more and more worried.

This time City's attack was more intense than usual.

When the ball reached Silva's feet, several players in front of the field rushed to the penalty area, and it seemed like an instant that they relied on numbers to break through the Chelsea defence.

Defending next to Silva was still Frank Lampard.

With no other team-mates around him, Frank Lampard was a bit stretched in defence in the face of City's sudden burst of attack, and there was no way to separate two men to defend Silva.

Silva stopped the ball in front of him and headed straight at Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard swayed from side to side to force Silva to pass the ball, but Silva suddenly got up and passed the ball backwards and the ball rolled to the feet of the oncoming Bloomer.

Instead of stopping the ball, Blumer pushed it forward.

The ball rolled past Frank Lampard and forward.

Just when many people thought that Brummer's pass was wrong, it was seen that Silva had already chased past Frank Lampard.

"Silva! Silva! ”

"He rushed into the restricted area!"

Frank Lampard hurried back and John Terry gave up defending against Torres to meet him, but one on the left and one in the back tried to block Silva, but Silva chose to kick the ball sideways the moment he chased the ball.

The ball flew past behind Terry.

"Torretores—"

The moment Silva made the full pass, the crowd was already ringing out.

This is a great opportunity for Manchester City!

――――

When they saw Fernando Torres unload the ball in front of them, everyone realised that City had a great chance.

Wan Sheng was originally watching the game with Erlang's legs crossed.

But when he saw this scene, he immediately put his legs on the ground, stood up with a 'poof', and stared at the Spanish golden boy on the court with wide eyes who was adjusting his movements!

If this goal can be scored, it will open the door for the team to win!

Many Manchester City fans have held their breath.

They were afraid that their breathing would interfere with Torres' shooting on the field!

Some media reporters do the same.

Maybe they don't support Manchester City, but at this moment, everyone subconsciously stopped breathing and waited for that moment to come!

Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech, standing very cautiously, did not rush out because time did not allow, Silva's pass just now was too sudden, the next moment the opponent was about to shoot, the only thing he could do was to prepare to save.

However, Torres didn't give Cech a chance to adjust, and after unloading the ball in front of him, he swung his right leg straight behind him and kicked it hard behind the ball.

Volley hard!

The ball rushed up from the grass, almost instantly across a distance of nearly ten meters, and appeared in front of Cech's eyes, he subconsciously waved his arm to block, but by the time his right arm was thrown into position, the football had already rushed into the ...... Goal!

The Luzhniki Stadium suddenly exploded!

――――

“Goooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！”

"Torres! Torres! Torres! ”

"Clean shot! In the 37th minute, Torres gave Manchester City the lead! 1-0, Manchester City lead Chelsea in the Champions League final! ”

The TV commentator made the loudest noise, roaring to cover City's goal.

The same goes for those who watched the Champions League final on television, with many Manchester City fans shouting loudly the moment Torres scored.

Their voices even completely overshadowed the narrator's voice.

At this moment, the energy of Manchester City fans erupted no less than a volcanic eruption, as if the whole world resounded with their voices.

It's the same in the field.

The Luzhniki Stadium was completely filled with the shouts of Manchester City fans, and many local Russian fans, too, were infected by the atmosphere and shouted along with the sound.

on the pitch.

After finishing his goal, Torres turned and ran frantically towards the corner flagpole.

After that, he knelt directly on the grass and slid forward along the turf for more than a meter, not even tearing his jersey, looking very excited!

The rest of the City players quickly caught up from behind, pulled him to the ground, and then one player after another continued to go up and 'ravage'.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, excited and hugged others.

Looking at the '1:0' displayed on the scoreboard of the game, he couldn't help but clench his fists, the team took the lead, and the hope of victory was even greater! (To be continued.) )
