477. Goal and equalised

"You can magnify your courage in the second half! Drag the ball forward boldly from the midfield! They put too much attention on Ding Ding. At this time, not only does he need support, but you can also make an article on the offense!" During the halftime break, Wen Sheng asked Dembeleer for the draw. After all, he was a little unwilling to give up on the draw. Dembele had a beautiful breakthrough in the first half, but he still used support most of the time, and his offensive investment could be a little more.

The players' reaction to the first half was still positive, and Chelsea had more threats, but overall, it was Manchester City's side to control the situation. Everyone firmly believed that if they persisted in the second half, they could score better goals.

In addition to Dembele, Wensheng has also put forward new requirements for the full-backs on both wings. The attitude of pressing should be relatively positive. Don't always worry about the power of Hazard and William. At the same time, Wensheng has also made new requirements for Fabregas' defense. He did not adopt a man-to-man tactic in the first half. In the second half, he asked Dembele to step up his defense against Fabregas without the ball. Whether it is a positional war or a counterattack battle, Fabregas is a pivot point.

The second half came soon. Coincidentally, Mourinho, Chelsea, was not very willing to be a point. He was not a head coach who was used to taking risks, but the temptation to defeat Manchester City was always like a carrot hanging in front of a donkey, which made Mourinho feel itchy.

As a result, the two sides attacked after the opening!

Manchester City adopted a high-level defense strategy, moving upwards when the ball is on, and unwilling to retreat immediately when the ball is off.

Chelsea did not take a high-level defense, but their formation was obviously moving forward.

"This is an unexpected start to the second half!" After a quick pass by Manchester City, Milner threatened Chelsea's goal with a long shot, Sones in the live broadcast room exclaimed an accident.

"I feel that your 100 pounds may not be too stable!" Neville teased Carragher.

The two teams were very active in the second half, which could be seen with a clear eye. In the second half, only five minutes were played, both sides had a good chance of scoring, and both sides did not rely too much on control in the operation of the ball, and everyone played relatively simple.

Carragher didn't understand the idea of ​​the two teams at all. Neville didn't look at it. He thought Wensheng and Mourinho were both famously conservative since the beginning of the game. The probability of such a strong dialogue was very high. Now that the two teams are relaxed, it is a bit beyond Neville's expectations.

Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a serious expression. He and his coaching staff devoted themselves to the mid-week game where Manchester City beat Borisov. It should be said that he has studied Manchester City's offensive play style very thoroughly. He also hoped that Wensheng would adopt a radical game attitude like mid-week in the first half. However, Wensheng did not. Chelsea occupied an absolute position for a period of time, but Manchester City's control was still very strong at other times.

Mourinho did not expect Wen Sheng to start in this way in the second half.

"We are so sympathetic?!" Mourinho smiled bitterly in his heart.

Mourinho was not alert to Dembele's tactical changes in the literary victory system at this time. In the 62nd minute, Dembele suddenly started after intercepting the ball in the midfield, passing Fabregas and Ramirez in succession, and then sent a diagonal pass. Guedti received the ball, dribbled the ball, and threw Cahill away with speed. Then he shot in the far corner in the penalty area. The young man had a very strong shot and used his outside instep to shoot. A very obvious arc bypassed Cech, who was blocking the close point, headed straight to the far end. The ball hit the post and bounced into Chelsea's goal.

"yes!" Bob shouted loudly, yelling with his companions in the bar.

"Good! Guideti!"

"I really didn't expect that he broke the deadlock on the court again!" Fans were delighted by Guideti's performance in the last two games and praised the young player.

Guideti once again shone on the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea was really careless this time, especially the defense against Dembele is not strict. Fabregas's defensive ability is relatively weak, and his own speed is his disadvantage. When he was crossed by Dembele, his return speed was much slower than Dembele who dribbled the ball. Ramirez tried to use his body to fight Dembele in defense, which was obviously a mistake.

"It's so fucking beautiful!" Wensheng applauded vigorously to like his players. Dembele's breakthrough is crucial. Guideti also found the essence of running on the Chelsea defense line. With De Bruyne's restraint, Manchester City finally tore open the opponent's goal.

When the plot was like a roller coaster ride, less than two minutes passed, Dembele intercepted the ball again, but this time the Belgian national football team dribbled a little bit of a mess. Unfortunately, he lost the ball in the midfield. In order to prevent Chelsea from counterattacking quickly, he had to tackle Ramirez who intercepted him as soon as possible after conceding the ball. The tackle foul from behind. Dean gave him no dispute. The problem is that Dembele received a yellow card in the first half.

So the two yellows turned into one red, and Dembele was sent off.

Wensheng was almost madly angry by this guy. Manchester City's midfielder was equipped with four players, Kimmich, Casemiro, Dembele and Fernandinho. Now Fernandinho is injured and doesn't even make the roster. Dembele is also doing his own fault. In the next game, Wensheng only has Casemiro and Kimmich.

Bob hit the bar hard. Without the analysis of the players, Manchester City fans, such as Bob, know what it means to Manchester City next. There is no suspense. Manchester City will be in a passive situation next. Chelsea itself is not a soft persimmon. With one person missing, it may be difficult for Manchester City to play pass control easily even if they want to play pass control.

Wensheng could only let Milner reach the midfielder and partner with Casemiro, and De Bruyne's position also began to retreat. Chamberlain and Guideti became double strikers, and the formation was fully recovered and entered a defensive counterattack state.

Mourinho is not lacking in decisiveness. After Manchester City lost one person, he immediately gave the players full-scale attack instructions. At this time, it rained again in the sky in Etihad. Mourinho's tactics are very simple. He will not let the team guide too much. They rely quite on Costa. Costa has a good ability to take the ball with his back and fight. Chelsea often uses long passes to find Costa, otherwise Hazard will make a splash alone!

It was still so rough, but Chelsea was very good in defense without the ball. Their formation was indeed difficult for Manchester City to fully control the ball. Ten minutes later, in the 72nd minute, Felipe Luis made a cross, and Costa and others rose in the penalty area. Hazard at the back point dribbled the ball horizontally and cut inward. He shot several fake moves and finally got a gap open, and shot violently, and they equalized the score.
Chapter completed!
