Football: From Bundesliga debut

On September 9, the last focus match of the fifth round of the Premier League officially started.

Chelsea sit at Stamford Bridge to face Manchester City who came to challenge.

For the arrival of the defending champion, Chelsea has already geared up, ready to win this victory, to crown them who want to become the new king!

Currently occupying the top spot, they are already 3 points ahead of Manchester City. As long as this game is unbeaten, this point gap can still be maintained!
When seeing Fabregas as a defensive midfielder, Pellegrini made a gesture to Moussa Sissoko, telling him that the object that needs to be defended after the start of the game has been determined!

As the whistle sounded, Chelsea took the lead in attacking.

Cesc Fabregas, who served as Chelsea's commanding brain, looked at Dzeko who stepped forward to press, and he passed the ball directly to Hazard.

At present, Chelsea's left is also one of their main attacking positions.

Under Mourinho's pre-match instructions, their defensive center will be in Manchester City's midfield, and their offensive core will also be in the midfield.

So what they need to defeat is also Manchester City's midfielders-Zheng Lin, Moussa Sissoko and Fernandinho.

Hazard passed the ball with a kick. Although there was a delay from Moussa Sissoko, William, the midfielder, was already in place.

His excellent movement speed makes Fernandinho a little slower, which is enough for him to send a through ball.

Diego Costa leaned against Mangala, he stopped the ball with his left foot, adjusted slightly with his right foot, and hit the goal directly with his right foot!
"ah!"

This shot was directly blocked by Kompany, who was well defended.

Chelsea didn't score a goal in their first attack, but they got a corner kick. With their good crossers, this corner kick is quite threatening for Manchester City.

Fabregas took the right corner kick. For Manchester City, this corner kick will not be too easy to deal with.

Sure enough, when the corner kick started, Terry hit the football, but the ball was directly confiscated by Joe Hart.

For Joe Hart, Pellegrini loves and hates him. Apart from the goals caused by long shots, his blocking ability is still very strong, but there is no good goalkeeper at present, so I really want to replace him. , that also needs a chance!

In the 24th minute of the game, it was Zheng Lin's turn to attack. While he was advancing with the ball, he noticed Ramirez.

Obviously, the reason why Mourinho replaced him was to assist the midfielder Matic to defend Zheng Lin, and Zheng Lin also noticed Terry's position.

[I really value myself! 】

Zheng Lin was not without fear. After he smashed the ball, he wanted to get out from the oblique stab, but he obviously didn't expect Matic's sense of defensive position to be too good.

During the confrontation, Matic stretched out his foot and broke the football under Zheng Lin's feet. This scene obviously surprised Zheng Lin, but the reality is so cruel!
In the first round of confrontation, Zheng Lin did not break through Matic's defense.

In the 27th minute, Zheng Lin made a comeback. Facing Matic's defense, Zheng Lin was frustrated again. This time his speed advantage did not take advantage. Lost the ball once.

Regarding Zheng Lin's behavior, Pellegrini couldn't help shaking his head. This is one of the disadvantages of young people, but regarding Zheng Lin's performance, he believes that Zheng Lin will not be frustrated because of this, and he will use his own methods to deal with it. Break through Matic.

On the other hand, Mourinho can also see that Manchester City's No. 13 intends to directly break through Matic's defense head-on, otherwise he will not make a comeback again and again.

But this stubborn temper will bring him success.

In the 37th minute, I don’t know how many times I have faced Matic. For this tall and tenacious midfielder, Zheng Lin has found a way to make a breakthrough after going through the previous few times. For himself Zheng Lin still felt that the previous behavior was rather capricious.

After the third failure, he also came to his senses. Why did he insist on breaking through Matic's defense?
This time when he advanced with the ball, like Matic who was about to break through forcibly, he shook away Matic with a smash, and then sent it out with a straight kick.

"Dzeko, hit the ball first, he shoots with his left foot!"

"Hey, Courtois made a contribution, he confiscated Dzeko's shot!"

"Before the 38th minute, both sides had good chances to shoot, but in the end they still didn't complete the goal, which also benefited from the excellent performance of the team's goalkeeper."

For such a first half, Mourinho was still a little dissatisfied, but he knew very well that it was difficult to limit the flashes of talented players, so he just had a serious expression on his face.

He didn't say too much about the players' execution ability, because they have done enough.

Pellegrini glanced at Mourinho, and both of them read a trace of dignity from each other's eyes, but what displeased Pellegrini the most was Mourinho's rebellious temperament.

But it is precisely this temperament that makes him the idol in the eyes of many players.

"Hey! Diego Costa shoots again!"

The shooting of this ball also heralded the end of the first half of the game.

However, this is not unacceptable to both parties.

As long as a goal is scored in the second half, it is acceptable to the scoring side, but they still have to pay attention to the number of fouls on their bodies.

After all, there are too many fouls, which means that the referee's impression is not good, and it is easy to get a yellow card for another foul.

For Diego Costa, his behavior and tone are bad enough to provoke Manchester City's defense to carry a topaz card!
But it's a pity that there was no chance to use it in the first half.

There is still time for the second half, and since there is still time, he can use it.

But this is nothing to Kompany, because he has experienced enough, so he will not lose his control because of this.

A team that can be called the captain must have enough advantages in a certain aspect, otherwise they will not become the captain of the team.

Back in the locker room, Kompany raised objections to Zheng Lin's behavior in the first half without the slightest politeness.

Although Zheng Lin is currently one of the core of the team, his continuous dribbling of the ball against Matic is holding the team back.

For his growth, Kompany also put forward his own views.

He is also very clear that young players want to express themselves, but facing the team, it is irrational to express themselves.

Regarding the captain's criticism, Zheng Lin nodded. From the follow-up situation, he also thought about his own problems. Sometimes he was too confident, but this is also one of the places where Kompany recognizes himself. Playing football needs to be rational. Too much over the top is not good!
And Pellegrini didn't say anything more, he knew very well that Zheng Lin's journey here was almost smooth sailing, and he had tempered it, but that was only in training.

At most, it is on the court, but with mature guys such as Fernandinho covering the bottom line, Zheng Lin does not receive too many setbacks in many cases.

It is also in this situation that he is thinking about how to set some requirements for Zheng Lin, and sometimes he really plays too freely!

As for how to cultivate an excellent midfielder, obviously he still needs to spend more time. He will not do things like killing personality, but he needs to formulate a plan based on some characteristics of Zheng Lin.

The main task of him in charge of Manchester City is to train some young players, and the most important thing here is Zheng Lin, who they paid a high price for.

And Zheng Lin's current performance is considered good enough, but as a midfielder, he sometimes has some young people's faults, but the impact is not great, but this needs to be further "corrected" for him. .
