Chapter 483

"59 rounds of unbeaten, today!"

"Today we are truly the No. 1 in Europe!"

The enthusiastic fans in the stands are almost going crazy.

Today, it is not only a direct collision between the first and second in the Premier League, but also related to the ownership of the Premier League champion.

It is also a key node in Manchester City's 59th unbeaten record in the league.

For Manchester City fans, winning this game is of great significance.

Guardiola and Conte are standing on the sidelines.

Although Kong Erlangzi has a bad temper and always quarrels with the team management, his coaching level is still recognized by most people.

His three-back system is a big hit in Serie A and is at the top of the food chain in the Premier League.

In this game, both coaches have reasons to win.

Conte's three-back system is still very unfamiliar to the Premier League.

Although Guardiola has used three backs, it is actually a variant of the four-back system. Stones will be pushed to the position of the defensive midfielder. When defending, Stones will withdraw to the central defender position.

Moreover, Guardiola rarely uses this kind of lineup. When encountering key games, he always uses a safe four-back formation.

Conte is different. His regular formation is three defenders and four midfielders.

This has brought a lot of impact to the Premier League.

On the offensive end, there are not only double wing positions, but also frontcourt attack tridents, including Fabregas, Azpilicueta, and even David Luiz sometimes participates in organizing the offense.

As a result, Chelsea has a lot of offensive players in the frontcourt.

Cahill and the tall and strong Matic are dragged back.

When defending, the two wingbacks will quickly retreat to the half court and become left and right sidebacks, partnering with three central defenders.

Hazard and Pedro will retreat to the top of the penalty area and form the second line of defense with two defensive midfielders.

Change the formation to 541.

Fill the penalty area and the vicinity of the penalty area with defensive players.

Whether it is penetrating the penalty area or long shots, it is difficult to penetrate.

Moreover, the three lines are very short in attack and defense, and there is almost no defensive gap during the overall movement.

Conte's tactics and skills are similar to Tuchel's.

This is one of the reasons why Conte and Tuchel have such a good relationship.

The friendship between these two people can be called a good story in the football world.

And Conte's tactical play is perfect on both offense and defense.

The only disadvantage is that it is a huge test for the players' physical fitness.

The two wingbacks are almost exhausted.

Chelsea can do this boldly because there is no European war this season. It is not a big problem for the players to stick to it for a season.

Once there is a multi-line championship, it is bound to fall apart.

This is also the reason why Conte is good at winning the league championship but has almost no success in the cup.

Amid the cheers of the fans on the scene, the game between the two sides officially started.

Manchester City has the ball.

Zhao Yi stood in the center circle, kicked the ball to Gundogan, and then quickly moved forward.

David Luiz and Cahill instantly linked up, and the two followed Zhao Yi on the left and right.

Gundogan had no passing route at all.

In this match, Zhao Yi will definitely have to fight with David Luiz and Cahill because of his position.

Azpilicueta's task is on the offensive end. On the defensive end, he will only assist in defense, and will not defend the opponent's center forward.

The task of defending the center forward should be given to David Luiz and Cahill.

Cahill has a very strong mental attribute. He dares to fight and dares to think and do on the field.

He is best at fighting with the opponent's arrows.

David Luiz has a good ability to pass the ball. After defending the cross, he can immediately counterattack.

The cooperation between these two people in the Premier League is very tacit.

Often makes the opponent's forwards feel desperate.

Zhao Yi looks at the fluffy hair, which is quite sexy.

After the two sides pulled in the midfield, De Bruyne got the ball and moved forward along the side.

Delph immediately followed the side.

Kompany, Kante, Gundogan, Kyle Walker, all moved forward according to the established route.

Otamendi fell back.

This is Manchester City's regular tactic, a group of people ran to the front court.

Because of the overall tacit understanding of the players and the footwork, Manchester City can take the initiative in the front court.

Slowly look for opportunities to penetrate.

After Chelsea's defensive formation changed, the backcourt was full of people.

Only Costa was left in front.

In the penalty area and near the edge of the penalty area, they were all Chelsea's defense areas.

Zhao Yi stood in the penalty area, swaying and pulling left and right, and David Luiz followed very closely.

Cahill also stared at Zhao Yi's movements. As long as the ball was passed into the penalty area, he would definitely go up to defend as soon as possible.

Manchester City kept passing the ball on the periphery, and it was difficult to find opportunities to penetrate.

After Silva interspersed the run, De Bruyne passed the ball to Gundogan, who kicked the ball in.

But DavidFacing Chelsea's defense, Silva had a hard time finding a chance to shoot, and he couldn't pass the ball to Zhao Yi through the ground.

Zhao Yi was surrounded by legs.

Unless the ball could teleport, there was no chance to pass.

Silva could only pass the ball to Sterling's feet. Sterling made a fierce breakthrough, and Alonso and Fabregas, who retreated, easily blocked Sterling's route.

He could only knock the ball back to Kyle Walker.

Another round of back-to-back kicks, the ball passed from the right to the middle and to the left.

Delph suddenly started to kill towards the bottom line along the back line.

After taking Moses away, De Bruyne made a strong trip, and then made an emergency stop, and the ball was pushed to his right foot.

Matic is tall and has a very strong frontal defense, but facing a player like De Bruyne who has very strong footwork, there is still a little gap.

De Bruyne's scimitar ball went directly into the penalty area.

Zhao Yi, who had already run out of the penalty area, made Azpilicueta and David Luiz relax their vigilance a little.

When De Bruyne opened up a gap and passed the ball inside, Zhao Yi turned back again!

David Luiz, of course, had been watching Zhao Yi all the time. When he found Zhao Yi's running position, he immediately rushed out from the middle to block Zhao Yi.

At the same time, Azpilicueta saw the ball and was about to jump to clear the ball.

David Luiz was much taller than Zhao Yi, and his huge body moved towards Zhao Yi's forward path.

Bang!

David Luiz felt that he was not playing football, but rugby, and was hit by the opponent's fullback.

At that time, he turned around twice on the spot and fell in the penalty area.

"David Luiz... fell down???"

"Ouch, front point!!!"

Azpilicueta jumped up and stretched his neck to hit the ball.

He felt a big whirlwind blowing on his head.

Zhao Yi, who had collided with David Luiz, was a little crooked, but he still jumped up.

With a bang, like a heavy bomber, he hit the ball with his head.

Azpilicueta hit Zhao Yi's head again.
