3:3！

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Mesut Ozil equalised for Manchester City.

After the goal, almost all the commentators were discussing the goal numbers of the two sides, "Six goals in the half, no one could have thought that this was a big battle at Stamford Bridge, maybe they thought it was a League Cup or other or a lower league game, but it was indeed a big battle at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea and Manchester City!" ”

"In the past 40 minutes or so, the two sides have played very intensely, and the targeted attacks have been rewarded, perhaps in the attack, too much energy has been invested, and both sides have been unable to limit the opponent defensively, so the game has scored consecutive goals......

"Maybe it's also because the two sides are so good in this game, and against a strong opponent who has performed well, no matter what the defense is, it is not very useful!?"

Every commentator is analysing the reasons why the two sides can score six goals in more than 40 minutes, and Ozil, who has just scored a goal, is not important, although he is only 19 years old and one of the best players at Manchester City, but compared to the fierce game, there is actually nothing to report about him.

However, the commentator's report could not affect the pitch, and after Ozil had finished his goal, he ran over and hugged Morris to thank him for his brilliant second pass, and then the City players tied together to talk about the goal and the game.

Ozil stood in the middle of his teammates, his expression genuinely excited.

Among the few players in Manchester City's frontline, he has the lowest 'seniority', the youngest and the least experienced, and the average 19-year-old player is very good when he can land in the Premier League. Even the 'top talents' of the big clubs.

Mesut Ozil, who hails from Schalke 04, knows he's not a top talent at a big club, but he wants to do better.

Last season. He can only be considered a substitute and will have some playing time when he is called upon in the game.

This season, Mesut Ozil didn't expect to be taken seriously by the team, and not only did the game time increase, but he was able to become a regular player in many games.

With such fierce competition in the midfield of the team. Selecting a player means that the team is important, but it also means pressure and he has to work hard to perform. to be able to maintain their competitive advantage.

So when Mesut Ozil scored, he was thrilled and at the same time had a feeling of 'relief', as if he was thinking. "I'm finally getting a good performance. Don't worry about location anymore in the near future. ”

This idea is due to the fierce competition within the team.

Manchester City doesn't have anyone who is really the main player, if a player doesn't perform well for a while, even if he is famous, it's useless, and there is no favor to talk about when it comes to Wansheng.

Thinking of this, Ozil couldn't help but glance at the coach's seat, where Wan Sheng was standing on the sidelines, as if sensing Ozil's eyes, he looked back and smiled. Gave Ozil a thumbs up.

"Well done!"

Ozil couldn't hear what Wan Sheng said, but he could still tell it from his expression. The coach was encouraging and praising himself, and for some reason, he immediately felt a doubling of fighting spirit.

――――

Mesut Ozil's goal was a bit annoyed by the Chelsea players, who felt they had just been careless.

When Didier Drogba scored twice, they led City 3-1 and they thought they could win the game, but before the first half had passed, they had scored two goals?

Is it 3:3?

They suddenly felt that they had just been careless, some players were annoyed that they didn't defend well just now, and some players thought that they must play more seriously next.

At this point, the whole Chelsea players still have a lot of confidence in the game.

The source of their confidence was the previous three goals.

Chelsea and Manchester City have played each other many times over the past two seasons, and there are many Chelsea players who are very familiar with Manchester City, but not once have they felt that the goal could be so smooth and so enjoyable, and it was very difficult to play against Manchester City in memory.

But in the past game, they had a feeling that 'scoring goals is not difficult', which made them feel that it was not difficult to win against Manchester City, and it also gave all the Chelsea players a lot of confidence.

In the final stages of the first half, Chelsea continued to attack and defend with Manchester City with the confidence of winning.

So the competition became more intense.

Chelsea manager Grant sat in the dugout and watched the game carefully, and after nearly half a half, Grant also had a certain understanding and grasp of the situation between Chelsea and Manchester City.

In the eyes of the Israelis, City's defence is problematic, at least unable to withstand Chelsea's attack, which is the key point of Chelsea's victory.

Although it was Manchester City who scored two goals in a row, that didn't hide their defensive problems, so the first half was Chelsea's best chance.

If it comes to the second half, the Chinese will definitely make certain adjustments to the formation and tactics, and increase some defensive hardness recently, and it will not be easy for the team to score goals again.

So the team must take the last chance of the first half.

Grant had a good idea, but there was little time left in the first half, and although Chelsea had a pressing attack in the closing stages, they couldn't get the door open.

In the end, the two sides ended the first half of the game 3:3.

――――

The problems that Grant can see, Wansheng can naturally see too.

The result of 3:3 in the first half was acceptable, the team's performance was not bad, although there were factors such as the opponent's attack being too fierce, but it must be mentioned that Chelsea's defense could not actually withstand the team's attack.

There were defensive problems on both sides, which is why there were so many goals in the half.

But that doesn't mean the problem is gone.

The team's defense must be problematic, the key point is actually the back three and the midfielder's retreat support, the back three itself represents the weakness of the defense in the middle, coupled with the few midfielders retreat less, the tactics are more focused on attack, so the defense is prone to problems.

In the first half, Wan Sheng replaced Torres with Elano Brummer, who is a tough midfielder with good defensive ability, but it is difficult to solve all the problems with a single midfielder, and the situation that Manchester City was suppressed by Chelsea at the end of the game has explained a lot.

So what's next?

In the locker room, Wan Sheng kept pacing, his mind constantly thinking, occasionally he would suddenly look at a player, but soon shake his head again.

Everyone didn't know what the coach was doing, but they still went their own ways to rest, and after a while, Wan Sheng finally stood still, his face showed seriousness, and after attracting everyone's attention, he talked about the adjustment of the second half of the game.

When Wan Sheng finished talking about the adjustments to be made, some players nodded clearly, some players were eager to try, and some players showed blank looks on their faces.

Wan Sheng didn't explain much.

He told the players in all key positions to pay attention to what to do in the game, and at the same time told the others that it was okay to keep playing their game.

The halftime period, just under Wansheng's constant advice, passed quickly.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Wan Sheng finally concluded, "...... That's it! Always remember not to leave them with any gaps! So now, let's all get back to the arena, let's ......."

"Kill them!"

As Wan Sheng yelled, everyone scrambled to shout, "Yes, kill them!" ”

"Let them know it's awesome!"

"Win right where they are!"

“……”

――――

During the half-time break, a lot of the media summed up the first half of the game.

If you summarize the half game in the usual game, there is nothing to say at all, because it is good to have 1 or 2 goals in the half time of the game, and at halftime, the TV screen will continue to replay these 1 or 2 goals, and the fans will be very boring to watch.

This time it's different.

Six goals in the first half, played in slow motion one by one, 2 or 3 minutes passed, interspersed with an introduction and explanation of each goal and each goal player, and ten minutes passed quickly.

So whether it's inside or outside the stadium, the fans in the audience, or the fans in front of the TV, they all feel that the 15 minutes of halftime pass very quickly.

While they were still immersed in reviewing their goals in the first half, the two players were back on the pitch and the second half was about to begin.

When the players of both teams are in their positions, the referee blows the whistle to announce the start of the game, and the two teams are in a fierce battle again.

At the beginning of the scramble, a substitution at Manchester City attracted all the attention, and it was understandable to start making adjustments in the second half, but Manchester City's adjustments were very incomprehensible.

It was Ljungberg who was substituted.

Ljungberg, who is over 30 years old, has lost his position under Wenger, so everyone knows that he transferred to Manchester City to play as a substitute, and Ljungberg did not fight for the main position in the team, because he knew that he had no chance at all to compete with Morris, Silva and others, and after coming to Manchester City, he knew that he could not play the main team, and the only thing he could do was to play as much time as possible.

Ljungberg has played 191 minutes for City in the league so far without scoring a single goal, and his performance is definitely not good, but a lot of the time, Wansheng will add Ljungberg to the squad, because he is definitely a good substitute in any position in midfield.

The midfield panacea substitute is Ljungberg's biggest role.

However, now Ljungberg is on the field, obviously not as a 'jack-of-all-trades' substitute, because there are no problems in the Manchester City midfield, the game is still very intense, and most importantly, the players replaced by Ljungberg are...... Bent?

Darren Bent !?
