As the second half began, Chelsea went on a frantic attack on Manchester City's half.

Near the halfway line, they fought fiercely, and when they got up front, they kept getting up and threatening the City goal with all sorts of high balls.

They make the most of the points of Anelka and Pizarro.

That's what head coach Grant said.

In the face of City's calm defence, Chelsea struggled to break through with their combination alone, so they began to look for opportunities with straight balls in the air, and Nicolas Anelka and Pizarro were also adept at fighting for the top of the box, which could bring enough threat to the City goal.

But when Chelsea launched their onslaught of attacks, they saw a different side of Manchester City – extremely consistent and tough defensively.

Manchester City's football feels like attack.

But Manchester City's defense is definitely not bad, the least number of goals conceded in the Premier League last season can speak for itself, Manchester City has conceded more goals this season, but so far the league has been played 19 rounds, Manchester City has only conceded 13 goals, an average of 0.68 goals per game, only more than Manchester United's 0.56, ranking second in the Premier League, that is to say, Manchester City's defense is quite good, but compared to Manchester City's goals, streaks, championships, etc., the defensive data is not noticed.

In addition, City have conceded a bit more goals this season, and one of the big reasons is that City have focused more on attacking.

This can be seen in Manchester City's league goal tally.

In 19 league games, Manchester City has scored 48 goals, ranking first in the Premier League with an average of more than 2.5 goals per game, while Manchester United, who are second in the league, have scored only 36 goals, 12 fewer than Manchester City.

Such a big difference in goal numbers is enough to prove how strong Manchester City's goalscoring ability is!

Manchester City have conceded the second-highest number of goals in the league when they are not focusing on defence. When they go to defense seriously and do targeted defensive preparations, the defensive ability they show can be imagined.

Chelsea are working the attack, but their core Ballack is limited and their attacking ability is already a little worse, and then they face such a solid defense of Manchester City. It's almost impossible to score in a short period of time.

After a while, the stadium radio Belbart was relieved, saying, "Chelsea want to score, maybe God helps...... which does not mean that Chelsea can't score, it's just that scoring goals is not easy, and it takes a little luck.

But apparently Chelsea were not lucky. Nicolas Anelka missed the game's best opening goal with a poor header, and Chelsea's continued attacking efforts failed to threaten the City goal.

――――

In the face of a team that plays defensive counterattacks, if you press all the lines and can't score in a short time, you are likely to face a terrible thing, that is, the opponent's counterattack.

Chelsea have been slow to score. So I quickly saw Manchester City's methods - the most fluid offensive in the Premier League and even in Europe!

There is no need to say much about the technicality of Manchester City's football. Silva, Mesut Ozil, Ivan Crewe and others are all top-notch players at their feet, and they work together to make the team's attack extremely fluid.

Whether it's training or playing, Silva and Mesut Ozil often work together together. Coupled with the likes of Ivan Crewe and Robert Carlos on the wing, whenever Manchester City plays from the middle, they can play very fluidly.

From a purely technical point of view, some pure Spanish teams cannot compare with Manchester City. Manchester City's technical football is definitely the best in world football.

When Chelsea went on a massive attack, their defence at the back was much looser, leaving City with plenty of space to counter-attack passes.

So it wasn't a surprise when, in the 74th minute, City delivered the ball to Chelsea's door with five passes from the back to the front.

This time Manchester City's counterattack was extremely fast!

At the back, Copelle Ferreira broke the ball and played it to Elano Brummer in front, who played a connecting role and quickly pushed it sideways to Ozil.

Mesut Ozil received the ball and took just one step before passing diagonally to Martin Petrov on the wing, who then moved on to David Silva in the middle.

David Silva catches the ball and shakes Alex away and passes it to Darren Bent.

It was also the last pass.

When Darren Bent received the ball, he was already in front of the penalty area, and he faced the attacking goalkeeper Hilario and decisively chose to shoot straight at goal.

The ball flew from Hilario's left side and directly into the goal.

"Darren Bent—!"

“2:0！”

"Manchester City used a quick counter-attack to score another goal and open up the scoreline! This time Manchester City's attack was very fast, from Ferreira breaking the ball to the football flying into the goal, the whole process did not take more than fifteen seconds! In such a short period of time, they completed the pass, pass and shoot from the back to the front, and the whole process went smoothly, as if it had been rehearsed in advance! ”

"It's incredibly smooth!"

"I always thought that Barcelona or AC Milan would be able to see such a fluid attack, Manchester City is a Premier League team, but they are no worse than those Italian or Spanish teams that are known for their skills, I dare say that no team can play better in this attack!"

“2:0！ Maybe it's over! ”

'It's not just the scoreline, we can see that Chelsea have nothing to do with City's goal, they have been attacking for more than 20 minutes and have not been able to pose much of a threat to the Manchester City goal.

"The game goes on like this, it's too difficult for them to advance two goals at the end, I think, the Chelsea players on the field probably know the result, from the second half to now, they are almost trying their luck attack, passing the ball into the box again and again, being kicked out again and again, there may be a little chance to play like this for the small ball, because Anelka, Pizarro and other players are the top in the general forwards, but in the face of Manchester City's backfield, Copelle Ferreira, Lescott, Elano Brummer, Chelsea's front court is not dominant, it's hard for them to get their chances in the box......"

Berbart carefully analysed the defensive and attacking performances of the two teams over the past 20 minutes of the game, and did not forget to satirize the Chelsea players and praise the Manchester City players along the way.

Anelka was also a Manchester City player last season, and he was the top scorer in the Premier League, and he has an indelible contribution to Manchester City's league championship for two consecutive seasons, but in the eyes of most Manchester City players, the team's biggest hero is undoubtedly Wan Sheng himself, as long as Wan Sheng is there, the team will not lack players who can score.

In addition, Anelka's long-standing bad reputation and his summer move to Chelsea have led Manchester City fans to label him a 'traitor'.

It would be nice if Anelka had chosen to move to Real Madrid, moving to Manchester City's rivals Chelsea...... What is not a traitor?

――――

With Darren Bent's goal, Manchester Stadium was once again in a frenzy.

Chelsea, from the coaches to the players to the fans who entered the stadium with the team, were all disappointed.

This goal hit a bit big!

2：0！

With less than twenty minutes remaining, the score was enough to decide the outcome and to extinguish their hopes of equalising.

Football is not afraid of falling behind, but it is afraid that there is no hope.

If you are only one goal behind, even if you can't equalize for a long time, there will always be some hope, and even a goal scored by luck can be tied.

But two goals, one scored by luck, and one was still behind.

In the face of Manchester City's tight defense, how to chase? Even if no one said it, everyone already felt that there was not much hope for the game.

They came to Manchester with the mentality of beating Manchester City, ending their losing streak, and fulfilling the 'curse of reincarnation' that the media said, but they were beaten in the head and lost hope, and many people thought, "Maybe it's really like the Chinese said, Premier League teams are not affected by the 'curse of reincarnation'...... Isn't Arsenal an example? Now it's Manchester City's turn, and it won't be affected, what's so strange? ”

With this in mind, their fighting spirit is even lower.

Next, Chelsea still did not find a way to attack, Ballack was prevented from death, there was no hope for the goal, coupled with the influence of fighting spirit, some Chelsea backfield players simply did not plug in, in the name of paying attention to Manchester City's counterattack, or the physical decline could not run, all kinds of excuses actually hope that the game will end quickly.

In such a situation, Chelsea's defence has been much more solid......

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, saw this Chelsea team in a negative state, and suddenly felt that it was not interesting to win.

This Chelsea team is not bad at all compared to the Chelsea under Jose Mourinho.

But in terms of fighting spirit and enthusiasm for the game, it is completely two teams.

Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, even if they were two or three goals behind, they would have persevered until the end of the game, and the more they got to the end, the better they played.

It wasn't easy to beat that Chelsea side because even when they were ahead, they had to be on the lookout at all times, they never gave up on the game and were scored if they weren't careful.

Now this Chelsea team is different.

Manchester City are only two goals ahead, they have clearly lost their fighting spirit, just look at the offensive after the restart, you can see, two goals behind, what wait for not to launch a big attack?

Procrastination?

Yes, they are just dragging their feet and hoping for the game to end quickly.

――――

In Wansheng's sigh, time passed quickly.

In the last ten minutes, neither Manchester City nor Chelsea scored again.

The game was frozen at 2:0, and the picture finally stopped at Wan Sheng turning to look at the arena with a disappointed expression.

"What is he disappointed about?"

'Is he still not happy with the two-goal win over Chelsea?' This has also become a mystery that the media talked about and fans constantly discussed after the game. (To be continued.) )
