Manchester City kick-off first.

Launch a quick attack directly.

Otamendi played a long ball from the back straight behind the Chelsea defence.

Sergio Aguero stepped quickly to get his hands on the ball first.

Seeing that Aguero was about to make a one-on-one attack into the box, Stones had no choice but to use a tactical foul on Aguero.

John Stones was shown his first yellow card of the game.

Only 12 seconds had passed.

This would be the fastest yellow card record in the Champions League.

City win a free-kick from just outside the box.

Kevin De Bruyne takes a free-kick and crosses straight into the box.

The threat was great, but Jose came out to confiscate the ball.

Chelsea's quick counter-attack.

Unfortunately, when Costa passed the ball to Hazard, it was intercepted by Mangala in time.

The battle for midfield has officially begun.

This season, Manchester City's midfield creativity has increased greatly after bringing in Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne and David Silva form a core of the front court, which makes other teams unguardable.

However, the duo did not like to play in defence, leaving City's backline often at risk.

After 32 games in the Premier League, Manchester City have scored the most goals of any team in the Premier League, but they are in sixth place with only 55 points.

In Manchester City's game, they can win by a big score, but they are also more likely to lose due to defensive mistakes.

Whether this issue can be resolved will be key to Pellegrini's retention in office.

In the seventh minute, Chelsea counter-attacked quickly and penetrated the Manchester City midfield.

Outside the left side of the Manchester City penalty area, Hazard counter-attacked and crossed through the middle of the box.

Nemanja Matic burst out quickly and had a one-on-one chance.

Mangala chased after Nemanja Matic.

On the edge of the box, Nemanja Matic fell to the ground under Mangala's tugging.

Nemanja Matic complained about the penalty.

However, the referee denied his request.

The audience immediately booed.

For referee Mažić's refusal to award a penalty, Mourinho sat on the bench expressionlessly, and he didn't bother to go to the referee to theorize.

Two minutes later, City organized the attack.

David Silva combined with Kevin De Bruyne up front.

Kevin De Bruyne passes the ball past the Chelsea backline.

On the left side of the box, Clichy won the ball and shook off a Chelsea defender before smashing a left-footed shot into goal.

Jose could tell at a glance that Cahill's shot was on target.

But to prevent an accident, he still quickly pounced on the left side of the goal.

Eventually, Clichy hit the left side-netting.

José's judgment was very accurate.

Now, unless he is a top scorer, Jose can judge the opponent's shooting route at a glance

…

The game resumed, and it was Chelsea's turn to organise the attack.

Although City's midfield interception ability has declined, City's backline is airtight.

Chelsea's push into the opposition penalty area was blocked by a Manchester City player.

Until the 13th minute, Willian's cross from the right was blocked by Clichy.

Chelsea win a corner on the right.

Willian takes a corner.

The first drop was blocked by a Manchester City player.

The ball did not fly out of the penalty area, but fell near the penalty spot.

Stones and Sagna rushed towards the ball at the same time.

In the end, Stones got the ball first.

However, before Stones could make any further moves, Sania was killed.

Sagna stumbled Stones directly.

This time, the referee did not hesitate to blow for a penalty.

Eden Hazard takes the penalty.

Eden Hazard has yet to score in the league or Champions League this season, so he desperately wants that penalty opportunity.

The others were also very generous and did not compete with Hazard.

Joe Hart was on the goal line.

Joe Hart may have a chance to make a break in athletic saves, but in terms of penalty saves, his level is still okay.

Hazard stood in the penalty area, took a deep breath and then sprinted briskly towards the penalty spot.

He opted to play the bottom left corner.

The moment he saw Eden Hazard shoot the ball, Jose already knew that the penalty was about to be saved.

Sure enough, Hazard's shot was not high in height, the angle was not open, and more importantly, the speed was not good.

Joe Hart made a sideways save with both hands to save Eden Hazard's spot-kick and the ball went off the left side.

Eden Hazard missed out on a Champions League break.

The game continued as Chelsea capitalised on home advantage to attack Manchester City once again.

Although Manchester City has not yet become the most feared top team in the future, with their current staffing, there are few teams that can overwhelm them.

It's just that Chelsea's attack was a bit painless and never managed to pose much of a threat to Joe Hart.

In the 21st minute, Manchester City had a great chance.

Costa conceded the ball up front.

Manchester City had a quick counter-attack.

Keylor Navas crosses from the right.

In the penalty area, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Clichy have outflanked the trio.

José did not dare to be careless and always kept an eye on their every move.

From 12 yards, David Silva grabbed the first spot.

Header straight over the top and the ball goes straight to the top right corner of the goal.

Jose flew in and single-handedly blocked the ball.

However, Terry was too slow to turn today, and he was closer to the second drop point and was stolen by Sergio Aguero.

On the right side of the penalty area, Aguero made a second follow-up shot, and the ball flew straight to the far corner.

"Time and space pause."

Jose didn't even measure how many chances he had to make a save, so he just used the first plug-in of the game.

It's just a second, but it's enough for José.

I saw Jose fly to the left side of the goal with incredible explosive power, then jumped up, and then stretched out his hands towards the ball.

Jose directly confiscated Aguero's second follow-up shot.

It was also thanks to Aguero's rush that he couldn't hit the corner, otherwise, even if Jose used a plug-in, he would not have been able to rush from the right side of the goal to the left side of the goal, and the width of the goal was more than 7 meters.

The game continues.

Two minutes later, City had another chance to counter-attack.

Cesc Fabregas conceded in midfield.

Fernandinho's through pass.

The ball made its way through the Chelsea defence and Sergio Aguero scrambled to make it a one-on-one effort.

Jose knows that against a shooter like Sergio Aguero, he must not be allowed to adjust and shoot again.

Decisive in his attack, Jose rushed towards Aguero.

Looking at Jose's menacing appearance, Aguero hurriedly got up and hit the door.

As a result, the ball was deflected in the direction of goal.

"Hee-hee." José snickered in his heart, his momentum just now was completely pretended.

In the one-on-one heads-up between the goalkeeper and the shooter, the shooter is almost the one who must win.

Jose kicks in the goal kick with a big foot.

Chelsea were awarded free-kicks in quick succession.

Cesc Fabregas and Willian hit back-to-back free-kicks, but they were blocked by the opposition wall.

Chelsea's attack is a bit thunderous and rainy.

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City got a counter-attack.

De Bruyne passes the ball straight to the left side of the box.

Ivan got ahead of Clichy and cleared the ball off the line.

City win a corner from the left.

Kevin De Bruyne takes a corner.

Straight into the box.

There was chaos in the Chelsea penalty area.

In the midst of the confusion, Otamendi leaped high and headed in before John Terry.

Unfortunately, Otamendi clearly headed the ball high.

Otamendi couldn't figure it out, he usually did this in training, but he never had a top.

In this world, no one knows that if an individual's spiritual strength is not strong enough, after entering Jose's "undefeated realm", his personal ability will be suppressed to a certain extent.

Jose continued to take goal kicks.

This time Jose opted to pass to Willian on the right.

Willian's ability to control the ball and dribble is indeed inferior to Hazard, but his character of being able to run and dare to play is deeply liked by everyone.

Willian wins the ball and pushes forward on the right.

Unfortunately, Costa's shot was deflecised again.

More than half an hour has passed, and the score on the field is still 0-0.

In the 38th minute, Chelsea's Mikel mistook the ball and was cut off by Fernando.

The ball reached the feet of Fernandinho.

City counter-attacked quickly.

Outside the arc island, Fernandinho crosses diagonally to the right side of the penalty area.

Terry couldn't make an interception with his back, but De Bruyne scrambled to get the ball first.

De Bruyne burst into the right side of the box with the ball and Jose came out to intercept it.

Facing Jose, De Bruyne calmly fired a powerful right-footed shot into the far corner of the goal.

"Time and space pause."

Jose could see that De Bruyne's shot had deliberately bypassed his own interception.

Without the use of a plug-in, Jose has less than half of the chance of catching the ball.

Eventually, with an extra second of reaction time, Jose easily blocked De Bruyne's shot with both hands.

Seeing that the shot was blocked, the corners of De Bruyne's mouth twitched visibly.

He could feel that Jose was more difficult to deal with now than Jose was at Bayer Leverkusen.

Ignoring De Bruyne, Jose focused most of his attention on the ball he blocked.

Seeing John Terry clear the ball out of the box, Jose breathed a sigh of relief.

In football, passing errors are fatal but unavoidable, so Pep Guardiola came up with the "column play".

In Pep Guardiola's tactics, the first step is to improve the passing coordination between the players, and then press the formation towards the opponent's half, so that the impact of passing errors can be minimized indefinitely.

In addition, pressing the opponent to play, the fans are also very cool to watch.

Therefore, there have been rumours that Pep Guardiola will be in the Premier League next season.

Originally, it was Abou who chased Pep Guardiola the most, but he couldn't look down on any of the players in the Chelsea squad except for Hazard and Jose.

The practice of changing more than a dozen main players at once instantly scared off Abu, so Abu invited Mourinho back again.

Therefore, it is widely believed that Guardiola can only appear in Manchester City, as for Manchester United or Manchester City, it is unknown.

De Bruyne's must-have goal was blocked by Jose, which dealt a certain blow to Manchester City's morale.

In the 41st minute, in the small penalty area, Joe Hart took a goal kick and gave a light push to pass the ball to Fernando on the edge of the box.

Fernando nonchalantly stops the ball.

That's when Costa came out from behind and snatched the ball from Fernando's feet.
