·
Song Yi Nuo
Players from both sides enter the field.
Fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium cheered for their team.
They hope that the Blue Moon Army can win the league championship again after a major overhaul this season.
I am even more eager to go further in the Champions League.
This game is undoubtedly a key game that can test Manchester City's quality.
Chelsea, this team's record has been very ups and downs.
They can complete the reconstruction in just two years and win the league championship and Champions League championship, or they can quickly decline in one year and even miss the top four.
But at least now they are the defending champions.
It is the strongest defensive team in the Premier League.
If we can beat Chelsea, it will be a huge encouragement to Manchester City players and Manchester City fans.
It will also allow Guardiola to gain support from Manchester City fans.
In the stands, there were already fans chanting Manchester City slogans in unison.
"Pride of War".
Soon, Manchester City's team anthem rang out across the stands.
"bluemoon".
The singing is powerful and passionate.
The live broadcast of Xinxing Sports has also officially started.
Zhan Lu introduced the starters of both sides.
"Chelsea still uses a 4231 formation. This formation can invest a large number of players in a short period of time on the offensive end, and the defensive positioning is very fast and stable.
There are almost no shortcomings and he is favored by some top coaches.
The one at the front is the more familiar Shengshi Beauty Costa.
Costa is a player with a very fierce style of play, and he has some fine traditions of South American players, and he likes to use some small moves to anger the opponent.
Standing behind him are Hazard, William and Ramirez. "
At this time, Hazard was a rising star.
Known as the King of Football in London, he is a brother to Burger King who later joined Real Madrid.
(I seriously suspect that someone has penetrated Azar's soul and the system has not been activated, causing Burger King's status to seriously decline)
"Double defensive midfielder Matisse, Cesc Fabregas."
Cesc Fabregas, Messi's best friend and former captain of Arsenal, nicknamed Zhongyifa, is one of the Four Gentlemen of the Gunners, different from Nasri who is currently playing for Manchester City.
Nasri recognizes money, but Fabregas is different. It can be seen from his nickname that Fabregas pays most attention to the word "loyalty" in his life.
He regards money as dirt. In order to reunite with Messi and play football together, he did not hesitate to give money to Arsenal and transfer to Barcelona.
In the end, he was kicked out of Barcelona. Many years later, his good brother Messi was also kicked out of Barcelona.
At first, a large number of Mei fans mocked Ronaldo for being driven out of Real Madrid by Florentino. Unexpectedly, they suffered retribution a few years later and Messi was also driven away.
The difference is that Ronaldo didn't cry, while Messi cried miserably.
Just like Luo fans laughed when Argentina lost to Germany and Messi won the World Cup runner-up. Years later, Portugal encountered Morocco in the World Cup. Luo fans happily loaned money to the top four, but they were eliminated by Morocco just like they were playing.
Cristiano Ronaldo cried like Messi who was driven away by Barcelona. He was so miserable.
Cristiano Ronaldo has never touched the lawn of a World Cup final in his life, let alone finished second.
“On the back line, captain John Terry partners with Cahill as a double centre-back, with Azpilicueta and Ivanovic on both sides.
Goalkeeper Begovic! "
"Manchester City's starting lineup...Guardiola...sent out a very weird formation!
is a 3241!
As a relatively mature system, everyone should have heard of 3421, but this formation of 3241... is really... I seem to have an impression of it. I have never seen it in a formal game!
Guardiola is really brave!
In such a crucial match against Chelsea, they actually changed their formation and put together such a strange lineup!
At the top is Manchester City No. 10 Aguero!
There are four offensive frontcourts at the back, De Bruyne, David Silva, Zhao Yi, Sterling!
Zhao Yi can indeed play this position in the Wolves, and today we can also take a good look at Zhao Yi's performance in this position.
The double midfielder is still Fernandinho partnering Gundogan.
The defense consists of three centre-backs, Kolarov, Kompany and Otamendi.
Goalkeeper, Joe Hart.
This formation is undoubtedly a huge test for the defense.
Kompany should be able to adapt to the three-centre-back system, but Otamendi and Kolarov... are really a bit uncertain! "
Manchester City picked the side and Chelsea won the ball.
As the referee's whistle sounded, the match between the two sides officially began.
Fabregas received the ball and organized the attack.
No matter how Arsenal fans scold Fabregas, no fan has ever questioned his organization and passing abilities as a midfielder.
Manchester City quickly organized a frontcourt press.
At their home court, Manchester City played very proactively.
Zhao Yi quickened his pace and pressed forward.
Fabregas faced Zhao Yi, a super newcomer, and still had some competitive thoughts, so he directly pulled the ball to start.
Use the change of center of gravity to achieve a successful frontal breakthrough.
However, David Silva's defense was very fast. Fabregas did not continue to break through and knocked the ball to Matic.
Matic stopped the ball with his left foot, looked up and looked ahead. In front of him was Eden Hazard.
This wing is Chelsea's strength.
Hazard was running and Cesc Fabregas was shouting reminders.
Matic saw from the corner of his eye that Zhao Yi was already rushing towards him, and at the same time Gundogan who was diagonally ahead was also pressing towards him.
Matic could only half-turn to protect the ball, and was instantly choked by Zhao Yi and Gundogan on all forward passing routes.
He could only keep his head down, turned around forcefully, and kicked Azpilicueta who was coming from behind.
Zhao Yi used all his strength to chase after him.
His defense is not good, but Chelsea players don't know that.
Azpilicueta held the ball with his back. Seeing that Zhao Yi was not willing to use his physical strength to catch up, he could only quickly push the ball to the goalkeeper.
Immediately, Aguero rushed towards goalkeeper Begovic.
Begovic had no time to observe the position of his teammates and drove the ball towards the Manchester City half with a big kick.
At this time, there was a burst of applause in the stands of the Etihad Stadium.
These fans are obviously very positive about the active pressing of Zhao Yi, Silva and Aguero.
Manchester City's pressing in the frontcourt made it difficult for Chelsea to organize a man-positioned attack.
Manchester City's offense also fell into Chelsea's intensive defense.
Not only Chelsea's defense, but also Costa in front will return to the backcourt to defend.
The entire team's defense was impregnable, making it difficult for Manchester City to find chances.
So it looked like Manchester City was playing very fiercely, making Chelsea's rhythm very confusing.
But no real and substantial threat was created.
Twelve minutes into the game, Chelsea didn't have a shot on goal.
As for Manchester City's five frontcourt players, plus Gundogan and Kompany who often intervened, there was only one unseemly shot from Aguero.
Zhao Yi and Silva often have problems with their positioning and movement.
Obviously it was the first time this formation was used, and the cooperation between the players was not tacit.
"Chelsea's attack this time! Fabregas! Zhao Yi still has some difficulty defending Fabregas!"
Fabregas picked up the ball in the backcourt and suddenly started. His previous breakthroughs with the ball had allowed him to figure out the general defensive thinking of Manchester City's frontcourt players.
This time Fabregas went straight from the right to the left.
Passed Zhao Yi and Gundogan in succession.
Then a kick was inserted into Matic.
The one-two with Matic was a perfect one over Fernandinho who was covering the defense.
"Chelsea's counterattack was very clear!" Fabregas rushed ahead of Zhao Yi, who was chasing back, and shot a through ball, and William got the ball.
Manchester City's defense is not solid.
Costa, Hazard, and Ramirez were all running around, leaving Manchester City's defense stretched.
When Gundogan chased back and tried to force Willian to make a mistake, Willian's ball had already reached Hazard's feet.
Hazard is not tall, has a low chassis, and dribbling frequency is very high.
It is very difficult for Otamendi to guard him.
Hazard moved forward with the ball, made continuous breakthroughs, and then suddenly cut inside laterally.
Forcing Kompany to make up his mind.
Then Hazard suddenly dunked and pushed the ball out with one kick.
Instead of shooting, he stuffed the ball into the penalty area!
Costa, who has a very strong confrontation ability, stopped the ball and held on to Kolarov.
At this time, Costa has a shooting opportunity, just like Ultraman, and it is absolutely impossible to be pushed down.
He half-turned around without even looking at the goal and shot directly!
Joe Hart's reaction was okay, but he was short in stature and couldn't touch the ball even when he threw the ball.
The football hit the lower right corner of the goal!
1: 0!
Chelsea, playing away from home, took the first shot of the game and the first shot on target.
Just score a goal!
Fans in the stands at the Etihad Stadium cheered for their team.
