Chapter 824
At the beginning of the game, Chelsea was determined to wait for a counterattack!

After the game started, although Chelsea didn't get many opportunities to control the ball!
However, it is not easy for Manchester City to penetrate the defensive system of the three midfielders.

Mourinho now wants to understand anyway.

He has lost to Gao Bo so many times, and he would not be ashamed to lose again.Keeping a draw is profitable, if there is a chance to counterattack and score a goal, it will be a big profit!
Moreover, Chelsea's counterattack ability is definitely not weak!
Sneijder's ability to pass the ball forward!

The speed and impact of Willian and Eto'o!

Although Mourinho did not allow more players to participate in the offense in this game, there are these three!Once there is a chance to counterattack, it is enough for Manchester City and two pots!
The game started for five and six minutes.

Chelsea did not get any chance to counterattack.

Of course, Manchester City's offense did not work very well.

In these 5 minutes, Manchester City had only one shot, and it was a long shot. Fernandinho's shot hit the anti-aircraft gun! !
When Chelsea made up their minds to defend, even Manchester City, it was difficult to break their goal for a while.

"Both sides attach great importance to this game. Chelsea put on a posture of defending away! Defensive counterattack is Mourinho's housekeeping skill, but now, he has used the defense to the extreme!! Using a defensive system with three defensive midfielders and four defenders to limit Manchester City's offensive performance!! This is a duel of spears and shields! Until the last moment, it is difficult to tell the winner!"

"Judging from the current situation, Chelsea's defense is not bad. However, the game lasts 10 and [-] minutes. Whether Chelsea can defend depends on the performance of the next game!"

Despite saying so.

But most commentators agree.

If this game develops according to the current situation, there will not be many goals.

It may even be zero goals! !

Because judging from the current scene, one side sets up the bus, and the other side conducts a positional attack.

It is not easy to score goals!

Therefore, although Chelsea seems to be completely suppressed in the second half now, Mourinho still sits in the coach's bench with peace of mind.

This is the tactic he arranged before the game!
Shou!
stick to it! !
Never press out without a chance to fight back!

Even keep a zero to zero!For Chelsea, it is also a profit! !

Anyway, this season, the idea of ​​competing with Manchester City for the league title has been completely wiped out.

It's better to score a point on the opponent.

At the Etihad Stadium, take a point against Manchester City and end the opponent's 23-game winning streak!

This is already a very good result! !

Therefore, as long as the ball is not conceded, Mourinho will be very calm!

However, no one thought of it.

It seems that Chelsea, who is determined to stick to it, is not very lucky!
Gao Bo also saw Mourinho's thoughts.

This guy is here for the draw.

A team that doesn't look like an offense at all, like a wrecking ball team, is difficult to deal with no matter who comes in.

It takes more patience to break the goal of such a team.

So from the first minute of the game, Gao Bo stood on the sidelines. Although he didn't move much, he used body language from time to time to send signals to the players not to worry and to be patient.

This time!
Manchester City's offense started with goalkeeper Oblak.

In an attack by Manchester City, when Griezmann was about to find Hazard, Terry directly cleared the siege.

The football crosses the half court.

Since Chelsea was very deep, Oblak was almost over halftime.

He stopped the ball near the middle circle and passed it to David Silva!
David Silva took two steps forward and passed the ball to Griezmann who came over from the side.

Chelsea's players are very concerned about these two players.

However, more often, they still focused on David Silva, who was swimming in the middle.

Mourinho has done an in-depth study of Manchester City's game tape this season!
The biggest feature of Manchester City is that when facing dense defense, the two sides will be wide open to make use of the space on the court as much as possible.

And David Silva, Griezmann, and even Sanchez and Hazard are all capable of playing the position of midfielder.

Therefore, many of Manchester City's goals are delivered through the midfielder position to hit the weak defense!
This position is the key to Manchester City's offense! !

So, when David Silva moved to the middle, and Griezmann completed the switch.

He has become Chelsea's most important player.

Mikel has been following David Silva, focusing on him!

Mikel is Mourinho's exciting defensive force today. His task is to man-to-man defense against key players! !
however!
This time, it seems that Manchester City did not intend to move the football towards the middle! !

Griezmann started his performance on the wing.

Although Griezmann's position stood in the midfielder's position in the opening stage.

But Manchester City's frontcourt attackers are very flexible in changing positions.

In today's game, the team did not habitually attack from the middle!

The two sides are the key areas for Manchester City to make a fuss about today! !
This game! !
Gao Bo let the players on both sides act as two front midfielders!

Purpose!

It is to hit Chelsea's rib area! ! !

This is a response to Chelsea's intensive defense! !

Gao Bo showed his surprise.

To deal with Mourinho, you always have to think of new tricks to surprise him.

If Mourinho focuses on the middle, he is destined to suffer a big loss!
Griezmann first used the starting speed to quickly dodge Matic! ! !

Then! !
Griezmann dribbles in! !
When facing Kanter, he decisively passed the ball to Hazard who came to meet him!Then get down!

Hazard passed the football out immediately.

Two over one! !
Then Hazard's penetration attracted Kante's attention, and central defender David Silva had to save to defend Griezmann.

Almost at the same time!
Sanchez, who was on the left, went straight to the middle of the penalty area!
David Silva cruising inside the penalty area line, attracting defensive attention! !

Right!

Griezmann didn't wait for David Luiz, who was supplementing the defense, to post it, and passed the ball out!
The target is David Silva diagonally behind!
Manchester City's attack this time perfectly embodies Gao Bo's tactical deployment before the game!
Chelsea's defense was fully mobilized! !

Now, in Chelsea's penalty area! !

The surrounding personnel began to appear a little confused, and Terry followed Hazard in the penalty area! !

Then, David Silva let the ball to his left foot! ! !

In the restricted area!
A great shot opportunity presents itself! !
"Two over one!! Beautiful!!! David Luiz went up!! Griezmann passed the ball!! David Silva. Let the ball come and shoot directly!!!!"

Football draws an arc! ! !
Cech flies up!

However, the people in the restricted area blocked his sight!
By the time the football flew to the goal, it was already too late for him!

Even though he threw his body out as much as possible, it was still a step too late! !

Cech could only watch the football enter the goal! !
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!"

The narrator was taken aback for a moment before shouting.

No one expected that in such an important game, after a few tentative attacks, Manchester City scored a goal in a more serious offensive!

"David Silva!! Beautiful curve ball in the penalty area!! The football bypassed all the defenders and almost brushed the post into the goal!!"

"One to zero!!! In the No.11 minute of the game, Manchester City took the lead at home, and it was David Silva who scored the goal!!"

David Silva looked very excited after scoring the goal!
He rushed to the sidelines and celebrated his goal with a sliding knee!
Seeing this scene, the cheers in the stands became even louder!

"David Silva! He hit the far corner of the goal with a curved ball, blasted away Chelsea's goal, and broke the deadlock of the game. The next game will be easy for Manchester City!!"

Letkinson said.

"Gao Bo must be very satisfied now!!"

"For Chelsea, this may be the worst start!! They are facing Manchester City, which has won 23 consecutive victories. At the beginning of the game, they put on a defensive posture, but their defense lasted only 1 minutes!!! Chelsea fell behind in the face of Manchester City again!! For Chelsea fans, this is definitely not good news. You must know that Mourinho has never won against Kobo. Is it possible that Mourinho's record of losing to Gaobo will continue this time? "

The TV broadcast also gave Mourinho a close-up shot at a very timely time.

He stood up from the coach's bench and spread his hands.

Then he turned around and said something to his assistant, with a miraculous expression on his face.

obviously!
This conceded goal completely disrupted his tactical deployment!

The strategy of sticking to the tie is completely bankrupt.

Moreover, if Chelsea does not want to lose now, they must first give up their defense strategy.

Mourinho is deeply aware of Manchester City's offensive strength.

Therefore, it was helpless to make a defensive deployment before the game.

However, even so, it was still not guarded.

The opponent made a seemingly ordinary attack, but his ultimate move fell out.

In terms of richness of offense, Chelsea was blown away by Manchester City! !

The shape is left and right, and the sound is east and west.

Manchester City played this set very skillfully.

Mourinho looked very helpless.

Because he sees clearly.

The scary thing about Manchester City's offense is that Griezmann has the ball alone.

The other players kept moving around, with a tacit understanding, which completely disrupted Chelsea's defense!
A plain attack, but it contains such a terrifying murderous intent!
Behind the seemingly calm, it is impossible to guard against!
This conceded goal can be said to be the responsibility of Chelsea's entire defense.

The entire line of defense was completely torn apart by Manchester City.

However, now is not the time to divide the pot.

Because Griezmann's personal ability is too outstanding.

Matic's defense is very good, but he was rushed over by Griezmann just like a wooden stake!

Now before Chelsea, there is another very real problem.

That is, to continue to defend?
It is meaningless to stick to one goal behind!
However, the game is only in the tenth minute, and if the team wants to change tactics, with the current staffing on the field, even if they want to attack, there is no one available!

The 4321 formation, with three defensive midfielders, is specially designed for defensive counterattacks.

Now if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must make some adjustments in staffing.

But the substitution was made shortly after the start of the game, which wasted a substitution quota.

Mourinho did not hesitate for long.

Because he knew that there was no time for him to continue dawdling now.

So he simply let the players continue to stick to the defense.

In any case, let's watch the first half first.

At this time, Mourinho was very cautious.

He doesn't want to change easily.

After all, the gap of one goal behind is not big, and Chelsea may not have a chance to come back in the second half.

If a change is made rashly now, Chelsea will make some mistakes and lose the second goal or even the third goal.

Then don't play in the second half.

Chelsea simply surrendered.

So, when the game restarted, Chelsea continued to stick to their tactics! !
The game goes on!

Manchester City, who scored the first goal, was not conservative, but frequently put strong pressure on Chelsea's goal.

Although the Chelsea players felt a little aggrieved, they couldn't shrink back in the face of the powerful Manchester City and the requirements of the head coach, trying to accumulate numbers in the penalty area for defense.

Chelsea seemed very passive.

Gao Bo pouted when he saw such a scene on the sidelines.

Mourinho seemed intimidated by him.

The madman lost his arrogance.

They are all behind, and they dare not come out to fight with bayonets, how cowardly!

Gao Bo sat back on the coach's bench, thinking with some regret.

For Gao Bo, what he looks forward to the most is that Chelsea will play against him.

Manchester City are not afraid to play against each other.

On the contrary, Chelsea is like this now, and it is still a bit troublesome for Manchester City if they can't defend.

Game No.306 minutes.

There were some surprises on the field.

In a confrontation between Sanchez and Matic.

Matic's raised elbow hit Sanchez on the bridge of the nose.

The Chilean star suddenly had a nosebleed and had to go to the sidelines for treatment.

The referee didn't think Matic was intentional, he thought it was an unintentional action, so even though he gave Manchester City a free kick in the front court, he didn't show Matic a yellow card, not even a verbal warning!

"This old bastard!!"

Gao Bo was furious on the sidelines!
Fortunately, after inspection, Sanchez's nose is fine, the bridge of the nose is not broken, just nosebleeds.

After the bleeding is stopped, you can return to the court.

During this period, the game was a little flat.

Since Sanchez was off the field for treatment, Manchester City slowly controlled the football, otherwise Chelsea would have an opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the end, the first half of the game ended with one to zero!
