197. Revenge

Wen Sheng wrote and painted on the tactical board, and explained the tactical planning for the second half to the players in a short while.

"The score of 1:0 is not the end of the world. I believe we can recover our disadvantages! Come on! The finals are waiting for us!"

"Come on!" Everyone took the order with a loud bang.

After the tactical discussion meeting was dispersed, Wen Sheng pulled Sabaretta aside alone, "Hazar was very active in the first half. You have a heavy burden. I hope you can suppress him in the second half!"

Sabaleta is not a little kid, and Wensheng did not criticize it blatantly. It would be a big deal to criticize a few people together, but it would be hard to say if the head coach criticized a certain player alone. Sabaleta might have any ideas because he or he thinks that other people perform no better than him and should be criticized more?!

The drums are not required to be hit hard, and Sabaleta naturally knew that Wensheng said these words alone was actually a little dissatisfied with his performance. Of course, he also accepted it. After all, Hazard embarrassed him and there was nothing to justify.

"I can do it!" No matter whether it works or not, Sabaleta still gave Wensheng a guarantee.

The war rekindled, and Benitez was indeed as Wensheng expected. He relied on counterattacks. The left-leaning in the offense was obvious. The passing accuracy of players such as Mata was good, but when it came to long passes, Mata was far inferior to masters such as Lampard and Pirlo. As for the Oscars, they were still immature in all aspects.

As usual, long-distance horizontal scheduling may be better, and it is easy to play against Manchester City's defense poor open space, but Benitez understands that Chelsea midfielder or defender may find it difficult to accomplish such a thing at this stage.

Therefore, Chelsea can only lean left and try to get close to Hazard or let Hazard get close to the ball point.

Benitez's idea is beautiful, of course that's just his plan. The reality is that after Chelsea tends to counterattack strategy, Manchester City can also control the ball. Moving forward will be hindered by Chelsea. However, Chelsea can be suppressed at least. Lack of Toure's backcourt control is a troublesome, but there is Silva in the frontcourt. As long as the full-back and midfield can press, Silva's offensive organization is no problem.

Manchester City began to create threats here on Chelsea.

In the 49th minute, Drogba, Nasri and other players made wonderful cooperation in Chelsea's half. Silva shot a sneak shot from the penalty area line, with a very beautiful arc and aimed at the dead corner. Unfortunately, he was not very lucky, so the ball still did not enter the Chelsea goal frame.

Wensheng was very regretful. At least so far, Wensheng felt that Chelsea's tired army was in a better state than his own. Not only Hazard performed well, but they also performed very tenaciously on the defensive end, especially Mikel and Ramirez. Their defensive ability may not be very strong, but they used active running to make up for the lack of position, making Manchester City's progress very slow. It will take longer to complete an effective offense.

After looking at the watch, Wensheng found that it took almost two minutes for his team to organize the attack to complete the shot in one shot, which was too slow.

More than four minutes passed, and Manchester City actually completed such an attack.

In other words, in the 45th minute of the second half, if Manchester City attacks in this way, there will be only ten offensive opportunities. Then, more than half of these ten offensives will be intercepted by the opponent if they cannot complete the shots, and the remaining ones may not have two effective shots.

It is difficult to equalize the score this way, but in order to take into account his own defense, he cannot let the team increase the speed and attack his opponent violently.

He hasn't had the idea of ​​changing his tactics yet, after all, there is still a limit of 45 minutes, but it is not a life-threatening moment.

For him, he has a multiple-choice question. At this time, should he rush to death or wait for a while before rushing to death?!

As conservative as he naturally chose without hesitation... Well, it would be better to be more stable.

He just played against Paris Saint-Germain in the middle of the week, and now he finally tasted the taste of Ancelotti.

Time flies very quickly, and Manchester City, who has been unable to catch for a long time, cannot help but have no idea about it psychologically. In the 71st minute, Dembele made a mistake in passing the ball, and Chelsea got a chance to counterattack again. When Hazard received the ball, he was held in the middle by the big man Wan Yama. Wan Yama, who had already received a yellow card, received the second yellow card, and the referee Foy asked him to go down to get a box lunch.

"Damn it, I should have replaced him soon!" Wen Sheng wanted to slap himself. Kidd reminded him about this, thinking that Barry could be pushed up, but Wen Sheng did not agree. In the blink of an eye, the disaster came, which caught people off guard.

Benitez was secretly happy. Manchester City was sent off by one person, so Chelsea naturally didn't have to wait for the opponent to attack with fear. Next, Chelsea only needed to try hard to control the ball and delay the time, and victory was not far away.

Even though he was depressed, Wensheng still did not make substitution adjustments. He just kept asking his players to stay stable. If Chelsea had a good defensive state, it would be a big problem to score another goal.

Manchester City fans shouted loudly in the stands, calling the names of players on the court to cheer for the team, hoping that the team can equalize the score as soon as possible.

In fact, Wen Sheng had a lot of thoughts in his mind. At the moment when Wan Yama was sent off, all of these thoughts penetrated into his mind.

It is undoubtedly difficult for Manchester City to rely on passes and controls to push Chelsea back like before. The score of 1:0 is not much, but in this case, it is still difficult for Manchester City to equalize.

Substitutions to adjust?! The second round of the Champions League semi-finals will be the second round, which is an impossible game to give up. Wen Sheng is worried that he will send other players to the stage under his current disadvantage. Speaking of which, the possibility of equalizing the score may increase, but it is not a good thing to consume too much energy.

And if the team still loses the game, it will be a big loss.

So Wensheng made up his mind that if Manchester City could equalize the score by relying on existing personnel, he could use the substitute himself. If Manchester City cannot equalize the score at this stage, there would be no need for Manchester City to make substitutions, and there would be no way to lose.

Every head coach doesn't want to lose, but sometimes he has to make such a choice.

"Switch people! It's time to rush!" Kidd asked Wensheng several times to remind him. Wensheng looked at it. It was already the 82nd minute, and he nodded!

It’s all like this. Losing one goal means losing, losing two goals means losing. Let’s take advantage of it!

Wen Sheng let Aguero on the court, Aspas on the court, De Bruyne on the court, and the result...

In the 85th minute, Chelsea seized a counterattack opportunity. The energetic Hazard ran out of a long distance and made Manchester City's defense line. In the end, Torres scored the second goal for Chelsea!

Manchester City, who had gritted their teeth to support it, suddenly became angry and spent the last moment in a daze. The game ended with Chelsea's victory.
Chapter completed!
