Compared with Mourinho, Ferguson, Wansheng and other Premier League 'giant' coaches, the "newcomer" Grant is indeed a bit honest, he doesn't know how to deal with the spat attack in the media, but he knows that he can't take advantage of the war of words with Wansheng.

So Grant simply stopped talking.

He was holding his back to prepare for the game, intending to take on Manchester City on the pitch.

Grant not only worked his own, but the club also helped him to bring in assistants, and the arrival of Dutchman Ten Carter has also significantly improved the quality of Chelsea's training.

Even before Ten Carter officially entered Stamford Bridge, his former protégé, Liverpool striker Babel, had predicted that the Chelsea players would definitely encounter "devil's training", and as Babbel put it, Ten Carter was very unkind during the training process.

He reprimanded Chelsea players for not taking their training seriously, or for joking and joking with each other, and stressed that no player should be allowed to spoil the seriousness of the training process.

The move sparked a huge controversy in the British media, with many questioning Ten Carter's training methods.

But there is no doubt that Chelsea have not only improved significantly in terms of results since Ten Carter's arrival, but the team's attack has also become more and more spectacular, and they have won four consecutive league and Champions League games.

The British Football Newspaper commented, "A tolerant and steady manager, coupled with a strict assistant coach, will have a positive chemistry in the Chelsea dugout, helping Chelsea to go on a more correct path." Maybe when the whole season is over. People will applaud the wonderful scene brought by the "golden partner". ”

With Ten Carter's help, Grant no longer has to worry about training, he just needs to figure out how to deal with City's style of play. And to boost the team's morale, so that the team can play better against Manchester City, but maybe he is not needed to boost morale, no Chelsea player, do not want the team to win against Manchester City.

In the previous two years, after Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City, Chelsea had never beaten Manchester City in a competitive match. Manchester City are also Chelsea's biggest league rivals and would have won at least two more titles if it weren't for Manchester City. It's a shame they didn't compete for Manchester City.

Now facing Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, every Chelsea player is in high spirits.

――――

Manchester City are also desperately preparing for the game.

Every Manchester City player wants to continue their unbeaten run, but Wansheng always has only one goal for the team, and that is to win.

"I don't want any of you to think about it." As long as it's a draw, it's acceptable". I can't accept it, the team can't accept it! ”

At the end of the last day of training, after gathering all the players, Wan Sheng said seriously, "None of you should think about this. It's said we'll equal Arsenal's unbeaten record, but we should think more about the league and it's a good opportunity for us to open up the points gap. After that, maybe we just have to think about Manchester United. I said a long time ago that the league is fundamental, and our focus every season should be on the league, and whether you are unbeaten or not is not something you should think about. Our goal is to try to take the three points at Stamford Bridge! ”

In fact, Wan Sheng is a little worried about the mentality of the players, and there are still a lot of voices in the outside media who are optimistic about the team, which is also an area of concern for him, because he knows that Chelsea will definitely not be willing to bow down to their own home stadium.

Now Chelsea don't know how much they want to beat Manchester City, and Grant doesn't know how much they want to beat his own house to prove his managerial skills, and he doesn't want himself and Manchester City to be a stepping stone for others to win glory.

So the team must be careful and must not give the opponent any chance!

In terms of the game, Wan Sheng emphasized, "We can't have any slack in the 90 minutes of the game, if we are one goal ahead, we must immediately try to score again and lead more goals." Don't think that we are ahead, we must always have the mentality of 'falling behind', you have to think 'we can go further', as long as this is how we can guarantee the final victory! ”

'Maybe we've won Chelsea many times but Grant is a good manager and Chelsea aren't easy opponents to deal with and if they play tough and decisive we have to look out for defensive ......

Next, Wan Sheng talked about some strategies for coping with the game.

Although the tactical play has been arranged, but in the game, there will always be a lot of accidents, he must tell the way to deal with it, the players will not panic when the time comes, as long as they can play consistently, he believes that the team still has a great chance of winning.

――――

Wan Sheng said a lot before the game, but he didn't expect that what he was worried about would become a reality in the game.

Chelsea played very tough, the counter-attacks were very targeted, and at the same time, all the Chelsea players, relying on home advantage, played very well.

You can tell something from the scoreline.

With 30 minutes to play, Stamford Bridge's scoreboard was '3:2', with the home team in front and the visitors in front of them, with Chelsea leading City by one goal.

In the audience, there were fans talking everywhere, making the scene seem noisy, and everyone was a little incredulous about the game on the field, because they didn't expect to see a good match.

In the first 30 minutes, both teams played extremely strong offensive ability!

Chelsea counter-attacked twice, advanced once, and scored three goals; City made a push, a free-kick and scored twice.

3:2！！

In just the first 30 minutes, Chelsea and Manchester City scored five goals.

There was an uproar in the media gallery, and no one would have imagined that the battle between Chelsea and Manchester City would result in five goals in the first 30 minutes alone.

Five goals!

In the duel of the top teams in Europe, it is a bit too much to have a goal in 30 minutes, but in this big battle at Stamford Bridge, there are already five goals.

Five goals, each exciting!

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba took advantage of a quick counter-attack opportunity to break through the Manchester City defence, and then faced the attacking goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei and hoisted the ball into the Manchester City goal with precision.

In the seventh minute of the game, 'Mr. Monster' gave Chelsea the winning lead.

City then made five passes in front of the Chelsea penalty area, with the starting Fernando Torres pushing the ball into the back of the net to help City equalise.

Just when everyone thought the two teams were going to be tied for a long time, just three minutes later, Chelsea took advantage of a corner and Drogba headed the ball past Frank Lampard, who scored again from outside the box.

After Chelsea took the lead again, Manchester City continued to besiege Chelsea's half, but Chelsea completed the break in midfield, Ferreira forced a breakthrough on the left and then crossed, Kalou shot first in front of the penalty area was blocked, and then Lampard's shot in the box was blocked by Wang Xiaolei, and Drogba followed up with a third shot to send the ball into the net.

Didier Drogba scored twice!

“3:1！ 3:1！ ”

'Didier Drogba helped Chelsea open the gap!'

"It was Drogba's 7th goal of the season, 5 in the league and 1 in the Champions League, Drogba has shown amazing efficiency after returning from injury!!"

Chelsea fans were thrilled after Didier Drogba's goal, Chelsea were celebrating on the pitch and everyone felt like the game was a winning one.

3:1 Ah!

They don't know how long it has been since they've been so ahead of City.

But shortly after the restart, Carvalho fouled Morris in front of the penalty area and Ivan Crewe took advantage of a direct free-kick to help City recover a goal.

3:2！

Manchester City's quick goal also told everyone that the game had just begun, 3:2, the two teams scored a total of five goals, but in reality, the game was only 30 minutes old.

City were celebrating when Ivan Crewe scored, but City were still behind and no player had the heart to celebrate, so they quickly brought the ball back to the centre circle and were ready to kick off again.

At this point, Wan Sheng saw Chelsea's strength, but also saw some problems.

In this game, Wansheng lined up a five-midfield lineup.

The central trio of Mesut Ozil, Morris and David Silva are the most technical midfield duo that City can come up with.

But so far, the trio has not played much of a role.

In addition to being more flexible and more exciting to pass and receive the ball, it is difficult for City to find opportunities up front with Chelsea's strong midfield defence.

And that's not the critical issue yet.

The reason why Chelsea can score consecutive goals is also related to the team's defense, the team currently has three midfielders, and only Morris often retreats, Silva and Ozil, are not the kind of midfielders who often retreat, it can be said that the team's midfield defense is a little weak, in comparison, Chelsea's midfield composed of Essien and Lampard is much stronger.

Of course, the way the game played was also related to Chelsea's performance.

Their performance was simply fantastic!

This Chelsea team is strong in its own right, combined with tactics suitable for playing against Manchester City, and with the fact that they are at home, they are not falling behind at all.

Manchester City also have an advantage, and that is technical prowess.

In the first 30 minutes, it was obvious that Manchester City played more smoothly and suppressed the situation, overall, it was Manchester City who had a greater advantage, but it was useless to have the advantage of the situation, the important thing was to score.

Wan Sheng has seen many problems in the past games.

The game goes on like this, with the advantage of technical strength, he believes that the team also has a chance to win, but the specific number of chances is not certain, especially crucially, if Chelsea score again, the team's fighting spirit will be greatly affected, and then the game will be quite difficult.

At present, we still have to pay more attention to defense!

So taking advantage of the opportunity, Wan Sheng hurriedly called Morris and told him to pay attention to defense, "...... The formation is also pressed a little further back, it doesn't matter if we fall behind, we can still recover in the second half, but we must not give them another chance! (To be continued.) )
