Chapter 1311 Weakness ([-])

The words of the two sides before the game were still as fierce as ever, but the players of Manchester City deliberately ignored Ai Huan, and Ai Huan has never made a sound, which is also a very interesting phenomenon.

Imagine that when the two armies are calling for battle, one side has nothing to say, while the other side just said some insipid things. This really can't make people feel how exciting this game will be, but whether it is the case or not? Another scene.

Chelsea still has a 4-2-3-1 formation, Cech is still the goalkeeper, and no one can threaten his starting position.

The back line has been slightly changed. Terry, who has never had a chance to play in the Europa League, finally appeared in this game, and his partner was Marcos, because Cahill's performance in the last game was indeed impressive. A little speechless, although the high-altitude ball is good, but the feet are too rough, and when they face a team like Manchester City with smooth ground coordination, Cahill is not the best choice.The two fullbacks are still Ivanovic and Cole, and their performance is still very stable, so it is a relatively good choice to send them out.

The position of the defensive midfielder has not changed. Mikel and Lampard are still starting in a row. Although these two people have been fighting on the court recently and should take turns, Mourinho can't do this. After all, he predicts Manchester City in this game It will definitely strengthen the configuration of the midfield. If someone else is replaced, I am afraid that they will not be the opponent of the opponent. What's more, Lampard's role as a metronome in Chelsea's midfield is unreplaceable. This means that Chelsea's substitute is actually That's their biggest problem.

The frontcourt trident is still the best choice for Chelsea now. Mata, De Bruyne and Ai Huan. Now the cooperation of these three people is becoming more and more mature, and indeed they have shown more and more power, but the problem is their substitutes. It's so unsettling.Needless to say, Ai Huan, there is no substitute in Europe who can compare with him.However, neither Marin nor Moses has the ability to complete Mourinho's tactical thinking, which makes Mourinho a headache. Only one Oscar is barely qualified, but his limitations are also very severe. At least Mata can fight with him at any time. Ai Huan crossed positions, but Oscar can only be a decent attacking midfielder. This is not what Mourinho wants, but these are not the most important things now. Even if they are important, there is no better way. Changes can only be made next season.

Huntelaar was originally Mourinho's favorite choice on the front line. After all, he is still very useful as a hard point, but the problem is that Huntelaar can't play in this game. He asked for leave for personal reasons Back home in the Netherlands, so Mourinho can only send Lukaku alone, but the current Lukaku still makes people feel a little uneasy.

As for Torres, he was given up by Mourinho a long time ago. The reason why he can still play occasionally is just so that he can’t pay too much when transferring in the summer, and Mourinho also understands why Spain is more willing to use no strikers. Tactics, such a striker seems to be really useless when playing, and it is definitely a tasteless existence.

Manchester City played a more defensive 4-5-1 formation in this game, concentrating their main force in the midfield. It seems that they want to use the midfield fight to restrain Chelsea, but everyone knows this formation The control of Ai Fan is not the most useful either.

Manchester City's goalkeeper is Joe Hart, Manchester City's current main goalkeeper, his performance is always between good and mediocre, rarely has a god-level performance, but there are no major mistakes, which is actually very good for a goalkeeper. Not bad anymore.

The back line Zabaleta, Kolo Toure, Nastasic and Clichy, this is not Manchester City's best defense line, but it is now the group of people Mancini trusts the most.The five players in the midfield are Xavi Garcia, Milner, Rodwell, Silva and Yaya Toure. This midfielder can be regarded as one of the best in Europe. Excellent offensive and defensive skills can definitely explain the problem accurately, but the problem is They are about to face the terrifying existence of Ai Huan, and no one can tell whether it will be useful or not.

There is only one Aguero on the front line, and this Maradona's son-in-law is definitely not the kind of person who is hard to match under his reputation. He is a real master, so Mourinho's previous arrangement can also be seen at this time How targeted.

The game started with the singing of Manchester City fans. Manchester City fans have always been dominated by Manchester dock workers. They have always regarded themselves as tough guys, and their performance on the sidelines is the same.Most of them took off their shirts in the weather in February, and they just wore Manchester City scarves in the cold wind, and then they danced and sang to vent all the complicated emotions they suppressed in their hearts.

With such fierce fans at home, Manchester City's players have also shown their strength. Their midfield combat effectiveness is indeed fierce. Compared with the aggressiveness of Manchester City's midfielder, Chelsea temporarily took a defensive counterattack after the opening. situation.

In just one minute of the opening, Manchester City sent the football to the edge of Chelsea's penalty area. Yaya Toure shot a cold arrow at the top of the arc and hit Cech's arm. Fortunately, Chelsea's main goalkeeper made it in the first time. In the second reaction, he punched the football out of the baseline, and Manchester City won a corner kick.

Silva took the left corner kick to the front point and was cleared by Terry's header. Aguero's left side of the frontcourt tried to force his way into the penalty area but was closed by the opponent's defender and lost possession.

In the 5th minute, Chelsea counterattacked De Bruyne's pass to Mikel and singled out Kolo Toure on the left wing to make a corner kick. Mata drove the ball to the front point and was destroyed by Zabaleta's header.

The football was quickly handed over to the frontcourt. Manchester City's midfield is powerful. They also hope to take advantage of the opponent's unsteady foothold to grab a lead. This time Milner passed two people on the right and then made a cross. Fortunately, Petr Cech Get the ball firmly before Aguero outflanks.However, his goal kick made a mistake and passed directly to Milner's feet. Milner passed diagonally, and Yaya Toure shot from a small angle from the left and sent the football flying.

Mancini has been standing on the sidelines, his arms crossed over his chest, his face expressionless.Now it seems that Manchester City has the upper hand, but Mancini knows the horror of Ai Huan, and maybe he can change the situation with just a tiny chance, and this is what he is most worried about.

You must know that today's defense is actually Manchester City's biggest weakness.
