The media has put a lot of pressure on Manchester City recently, but the main reason is that Manchester City is weak on the offensive line. In terms of defense, except for the game against Stoke City at the end of August, Manchester City did not concede the ball in the rest of the game. This means that Manchester City's defense line is actually nothing wrong, and it is as stable as ever.

Wensheng's psychological expectations for this game are of course that he hopes to score three points, but if he doesn't score three points, it is acceptable to score one point. This is a helpless acceptance, but at least it has dragged Chelsea's pace.

"I think the more significant change in Chelsea this season is in the creation of midfield. With Fabregas, the rationality of their offensive route has been greatly enhanced. However, isn't Chelsea too careful to take the initiative to give up their control of the ball in this game?!" Sonez has been a football commentator for many years, experienced and demeanor, and after reading it for a few minutes, he understood Mourinho's plan. Chelsea is no different from last season when they played against strong teams. Relying entirely on the explosive points of frontcourt players, counterattacking on the spot is the core essence.

However, in the first four rounds of this season, Chelsea is actually developing towards the direction of controlling flow.

"If you think he is Mourinho, it's nothing strange!" Carragher shrugged, Mourinho is synonymous with conservatism.

The difficult game was not until the 10th minute, when Chelsea Fabregas made a long pass to Costa. The Warcraft-like Costa still turned around under Albiol's close defense and completed a long shot outside the penalty area.

This shot seemed difficult and casual, but it was really a big threat, and it actually hit the post and popped up.

Albiol knelt on the ground with his waist covering his waist. Costa secretly gave him a message. Albiol endured the pain and intercepted it.

"Look, look! Look at what happened?! He elbowed! He elbowed!" Wen Sheng jumped up on the sidelines and complained to fourth official Oliver.

Mourinho also stood up from the seat, but unfortunately he was so happy that Costa failed to score in the end!

When he saw Wen Sheng waking up from the fourth official, he ran over and started to argue with Wen Sheng.

"Which eye does it mean to be a foul?! Your players look too weak and fall out after normal physical contact! This is the Premier League!"

"Dare you dare to watch the replay?! You guys are playing too roughly! Shameless!"

"This is not rough, this is reasonable physical contact! This is a man's game, a group of sissy shouldn't be here!"

"You're the fucking sissy!"

Finally, the two of them faced the above, Oliver was amused and crying, "Calm down, gentlemen! Calm down grace!"

"Don't be calm, don't be calm!" Neville laughed. "The court looks a bit boring, and frequent games are interrupted. Maybe Daniel, Wen and Mourinho want to add some seasoning to the game!"

"Jamie, do you want to go back on your word now?!" Sones asked Carragher.

"No, no! Absolutely no! Look, just like this, they are not short of players who change the game. Manchester City's form has begun to recover. Chelsea has scored 16 goals in the league, with strong offensive firepower and Costa in good shape. I still stick to my own opinion! Gary, you will pay me 100 pounds in the midfield, don't be fooled!" Carragher shouted seriously.

Wensheng didn't dare to let his defender oversight. Mourinho's wingers on both sides today were William and Hazard, who had very strong ability to carry the ball and propel, so he had to be careful.

A few minutes later, Manchester City finally completed the first shot. Guideti was the one who completed the shot. De Bruyne was the one who launched the attack. In the 14th minute, Chelsea had problems with the right defense. Chamberlain received a pass from De Bruyne and forced Ivanovic to succeed. He passed the penalty area across the line. Guideti snatched the shot from the front point, but his position was completely unsure and turned into a clearance. The ball blocked the baseline.

Perhaps because of the fact that Manchester City has thoroughly understood the way and state, Chelsea has changed a few times. They began to try to control, push forward in an oppressive manner, and siege Manchester City. Wen Sheng is still looking forward to this kind of scene. However, when Chelsea made several threatening passes, Manchester City was unable to make a successful counterattack.

In order to curb Chelsea's offensive, Manchester City had to use foul tactics when defending in the backcourt, and Dembele also paid the price of a yellow card in the 18th minute.

Wen Sheng looked anxious on the sidelines, but in fact he was not panicked. He was not anxious until Manchester City felt that he could not suppress his opponent.

Since joining Chelsea this summer, Costa has been in good shape. He has scored 6 goals for Chelsea in various competitions, all of which have been scored in the league. With excellent physical condition, he did not fall below in the confrontation with Albiol and Van Dijk today.

The coaching team's preference for Costa's football has been analyzed quite thoroughly. Albiol and Van Dijk are also very clear about these things, but it is still a bit difficult to defend. With Costa as the fulcrum, Chelsea's offensive quality is still quite good.

"Stay steady, keep calm, don't rush to get the ball! Don't rush to get the ball!" Wen Sheng shouted loudly in the court. Chelsea obviously had the upper hand. At this moment, what Manchester City needs to do is not to rush to counterattack. They should control the ball, stabilize and let Chelsea deflate first!

This proposition is undoubtedly correct. Next, the defense line started to move, and De Bruyne began to retreat frequently. Hazard, William and others tried to press at high positions, but they were helpless. Instead, because their formation was too high, Dembele and De Bruyne crossed the positions, and his long-distance raid almost penetrated the gate guarded by Cech.

Then Chamberlain's side also caused trouble for Chelsea by relying on his own speed, and Guideti's several handling of the ball was also very reasonable.

This situation scared Mourinho. He quickly adjusted the tactics again while he had not lost the ball. Both sides returned to the old routine, and the game was a little boring again.

The first half ended quickly, and the two sides really played 0:0.

"Take it, bring it! Don't be foolish!" Turn off the microphone in the live broadcast room, Neville immediately stretched out his hand to Carragher.

"I won't give it to you! I won't give it to you!"

"Don't blame me for finding fault with you on social media tomorrow!"

Carragher reluctantly took out his wallet, took out a few twenty pounds of notes from it and handed it to Neville.

"Do you still bet with me?" Neville shook the banknotes in his hand pride.

"What about mine?" Sones also smiled and stretched out his hand, "I said I'll stand with Gary!"

"Fake, are you there?! I only bet with Gary!" Carragher cursed.

"There are audiences to prove it!"

"Then I only bet a hundred pounds! Well, you win, you go and ask Gary to share the money!" Carragher cheated.

"Are you still gamble?" Neville shouted again.

"Gambling, why don't you? I bet a hundred pounds and they will be a draw!" Carragher was timid.

Neville and Sones laughed. Given the mediocre first half between Manchester City and Chelsea, the draw seemed like a very likely thing to happen.
Chapter completed!
