Benitez does not want to surrender, and he has no conditions to surrender. Chelsea currently has accumulated 49 points and is temporarily ranked third, but there are Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Arsenal behind them are their competitors. Benitez's task is to lead the team to the Champions League qualification, and he cannot easily say he will give up in every remaining game.

At 8 pm on the 27th, the last game of the 27th round of the Premier League started at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City is on the 442 position as usual. Wen Sheng rotated some positions, Dzeko was replaced by Drogba, Yaya Toure was replaced by Dembele in the midfield position, Melo continued to start, Sabaleta was served as the right back, Krish served as the left back, and the partner of the centre-back. Since Kompany has not yet made a comeback, Ironman Van Dijk and Savic continue to take charge, and the goalkeeper is in the starting position of the League Cup final goalkeeper Joe Hart continues to start.

Chelsea continues the 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Chech

Defenders: Ivanovic, Cahill, David Louis, Ashley Cole

Midfielder: Ramirez, Lampard, Mikel

Forwards: Mata, Hazard, Dembaba

One of the important reasons why Chelsea chose to let Benitez replace Di Matteo as the head coach was Torres. Torres was the most glorious time when he was playing football under Benitez. However, after so long, Torres still failed to recover from his original state of killing people and killing Buddhas. So now Benitez has completely disappointed him and put him on the bench. The starting center has become Dembaba.

Dembaba is not an unknown person. He was one of the terrifying tridents of Huocun at that time. He performed very well after transferring to Newcastle. Last summer, someone recommended Dembaba to Wensheng, but Wensheng didn't want to be ripped off by Newcastle. In January this year, Dembaba left Newcastle and joined Chelsea for 7 million pounds. Chelsea made a good deal.

Chelsea's lineup is actually quite good, but they are not very smooth this season. Terry and Lampard were seriously injured one after another. Chelsea's lack of leader-level figures in the midfield and backcourt, causing the team's condition to fluctuate.

After Benitez took office, how can I say this state is not as good as I imagined. Wensheng thinks that he is not as good as Di Matteo, and it has been three or four months since he led the team. Di Matteo also won 25 points in 13 rounds. Benitez led the team to play 13 Premier League games and won 24 points. Recently, their condition on various fronts is really average, very average. His transformation of Chelsea is not as good as he imagined.

The pre-match ceremony ended, and the match between the two sides quickly got to the point.

After the opening, Chelsea played very proactively, which of course has a lot to do with Wen Sheng’s tactical choice in this game.

He has always attached great importance to details. For example, in this game, Dzeko did not play directly affect the team's tactics formulation.

On the court, Wensheng generally likes to let him retreat, and let Aguero be at the front as the arrow on the front line. Djoko is conducive to Manchester City's control in the midfield and frontcourt on the court, but if Drogba is replaced, this is not possible. Drogba's running ability has declined. He cannot help midfield control as frequently as Djoko, so Wensheng can only let Aguero retreat. Aguero is lazy and doesn't like running, which is not conducive to midfield control.

So Wensheng will not be too obsessed with fighting against his opponents in this game. On the contrary, he will use long passes and crosses to attack Chelsea's central defenders through long passes when necessary. Chelsea's central defenders Cahill and Luis are not reliable at least this season. Terry is not on the court, so they make many mistakes, otherwise how could Chelsea's performance be so bad?!

Chelsea's creative ability in the frontcourt is actually quite good. Hazard is particularly outstanding, Mata's passing organization is also very good, Lampard's forward shot is also very threatening, Chelsea is really a reliable center forward, Dembaba's level is not enough, Torres is as bad as ever, Manchester City can stabilize its defense and limit their offensive space in the frontcourt.

The attack modes of the two teams are different, which naturally makes fans feel that Manchester City seems to be below at least in control since the opening game.

In the third minute, Hazard played Sabaleta on the side. Sabaleta used his hand, Chelsea took a set piece, David Luis headed the ball, completing Chelsea's first shot in this game.

Wensheng greeted De Bruyne and said, "You have to double-team Hazard, especially when Ashley Cole has come up. This side of them is a great threat to us, but it is also our opportunity to intercept them in the backcourt. You can make good use of such counterattack opportunities! Risk also means opportunities. It seems that you are suppressed and we are under pressure, but opportunities may also appear inadvertently. You have to be closer to Pablo!"

"I understand, boss!" De Bruyne nodded.

Wensheng did not criticize him, but he knew that Wensheng was a little dissatisfied with his retreat not being deep enough. De Bruyne was very convinced by Wensheng, so he retreated a lot further next time, helping Sabareta and Melo defend on this side.

Today's luck seems to be on the side of Chelsea. Before both sides can let go of their means, Manchester City was sentenced to death by referee Oliver.

In the sixth minute, Chelsea attacked the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester City in the frontcourt. Mata made a cross near the baseline, and the ball hit Savage's arm. Oliver believed that Savage was intentionally blocking the ball's route and awarded Chelsea a penalty.

This penalty kick is a bit unfair. It can be seen from the slow motion that the ball did hit Savage's hand, but Savage had a backhand move. It was a bit unreasonable to judge the penalty kick, but a group of Chelsea players were quarreling. Oliver didn't know whether due to this pressure or he thought so, in short, the penalty was given.

Wen Sheng was so depressed that this penalty might change the trend of the game, and his tactical plan might need to be adjusted.

Joe Hart is not very good at saving penalty kicks, and Wensheng even regrets it a little. If it were Navas, Wensheng felt that the possibility of saving was greater. After all, Navas relied on for survival was reaction.

Lampard assisted and sent the ball to the lower left corner. A scene that made Wensheng ecstatic happened. Hart saved the ball to the left. Lampard's penalty kick was quite strong, but Joe Hart flew over and directly saved Lampard's shot.

Wensheng's excitement was no less than Manchester City's goal. He tried hard to applaud Hart's performance. This time Hart really saved the team!

"It seems that today's luck is still on our side!" Wen Sheng was full of confidence in this game for no reason.
Chapter completed!
