Chapter 358 Why didn't Neville and Keane come?(1/2)

Saturday, January 31, 2015, afternoon.

As a prime match on Saturday afternoon, Chelsea faced Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, becoming the focus of global attention.

This is not only a game between the BIG6, but also a strong dialogue between the top and second place in the Premier League. It is also a contest between the previous champion and the current leader.

Stamford Bridge was packed out early.

Although the jerseys of both teams are blue, of course at Stamford Bridge today, the darker blue has the absolute upper hand.

Wearing light blue jerseys, fans of the visiting team Manchester City were squeezed into a remote corner, like a light blue boat, surrounded by the dark blue sea!

Of course, Manchester City fans are not to be outdone and are still cheering for their team with their own songs and applause.

But now Stamford Bridge is no longer a "library".

They created even greater momentum and completely drowned out the voices of Manchester City fans.

It can be said that before the game even started, fans from both teams were already fighting in the stands.

"In fact, if it weren't for Chelsea who are in an almost abnormal state this season, Manchester City would still have a chance to compete for the league championship this season."

Three years later, on April 21, 2001, Haaland Sr. had moved to Manchester City and served as captain. Later in the game, Haaland Sr. controlled the ball in the midfield, and Keane rushed forward quickly.

"I really don't understand how Pan Yi, a native of the Dragon Kingdom, has such a long head, and why he can come up with so many unexpected tactics? It's like he is a supercomputer, which can store and calculate all the coaching tactics in the world.

…”

He dribbled the ball quickly along the wing and approached Chelsea's penalty area. Aguero came from the center and Nasri came from the right rib. The two of them rushed into Manchester City's penalty area at the same time.

Roy Keane did not come because the famous Manchester City guest who came to the live broadcast room today is named Alf-Inge Haaland.

Therefore, when Chelsea played against Manchester City today, Sky Sports invited the old Haaland to be a broadcast guest, but Roy Keane was also absent for some reason.

This is very important.

"Recycle! Recycle immediately! Position your defense and organize your formation!"

Chelsea missed another scoring opportunity.

Host Lineker said:

"This is definitely the most important game of the season, and the peak showdown between the two is undoubtedly quite eye-catching."

David Silva saw the opponent's Azpilicueta running towards him, and without waiting for him to get close, he passed the ball directly to Aguero.

But David Luiz in the middle reacted quickly and cleared the ball with a big kick.

After the old Haaland fell to the ground, Keane laughed at him to express his insult and vent his anger. Before the referee showed the red card, Keane returned directly to the dressing room without looking back.

Pellegrini also hurriedly shouted:

"You could say it's not a 3-4-3, but in terms of personnel mix it's still the 3-4-3 that Pan Yi is used to. But if you say it's a 3-4-3, it doesn't seem to be the same thing.

"

Therefore, Harland Sr. and Keane had a grudge, and in the end Harland Sr. did not forgive Keane.

Old Haaland said with certainty: "I will definitely let my son follow Pan Yi now. Even if he is no longer at Chelsea, I will hope that little Haaland will follow him no matter where he goes.

A team.”

Since when he played for Manchester City, Manchester City was only a mid-to-lower team in the Premier League, so he is actually not very famous in world football.

"The positioning of the personnel seems a bit confusing, but it seems that Pan Yi understood Pellegrini's tricks and then chose to deploy a large number of defensive forces on the opponent's strong side to stifle the opponent's offensive firepower."

The story first goes back to 1998, when Leeds United, where Haaland played for at the time, faced Manchester United. During the game, Keane tried to stop Haaland from dribbling, but instead severely damaged the cruciate ligament in his knee.

Lineker smiled and said: "I don't think you should worry about this yet. Pan Yi always tells us during the game that the basic formation on paper is for reference only, and the dynamic transformation in actual combat is worthwhile.

Let’s discuss the key points of research. So, let’s enjoy this focus battle first! Then we will do a detailed tactical analysis based on the game!”

——

With the referee's whistle, the much-anticipated battle between the top two teams in the Premier League finally began.

Fernandinho had already run to the left side at this time, and without stopping the ball, he directly knocked the ball to the left wing-back Clichy, who also quickly handed the ball to David Shee in front.

Alva.

They started really well today.

"Although it was 0:0, we saw a wonderful matchup during this half."

"Looking at Chelsea, it is also a 3-4-3. The front line is composed of Hazard, Lukaku and Bernardo Silva..."

"Manchester City's starting lineup today is a little surprising. Judging from this list, it feels like a 3-4-3?"

So he also began to constantly encourage his disciples on the field, letting them also boost their confidence and make them convinced that they can beat Chelsea, even if it is an away game today!

"Chelsea's offense has been fierce recently, but Manchester City's defense is very solid and did not give Chelsea a good chance."

"First of all, Manchester City's 3-4-3 is actually more like a 4-3-3 in actual combat. The left wing-back Clichy often recovers, and then uses this natural asymmetric transformation to allow Manchester City to play on the left wing.

, through the left center back, left wing position and the local numerical advantage of the left winger, many things can be done."

"Pay attention to Hazard and don't let him break through with the ball easily!"

Therefore, Pellegrini's confidence has also greatly increased.

But he has an outstanding product - his son Erling Harland, in other words, he is the father of the child-eating Majin Buu!

Because of this, we all used to call him Old Harland.

This greatly excited the away Manchester City fans.

"Man City's main midfielder Yaya Toure is not in the squad because he is representing Cote d'Ivoire in the 2015 African Cup of Nations. Although Mikel in Chelsea's squad is also from Africa, Nigeria did not enter this year.

finals, so Mikel can still participate.”

Haaland rushed to pass the ball before Keane could get close. Unexpectedly, Keane's goal was not the ball. He used the momentum of his forward move to make a flying tackle at knee height, which hit the right side of the old Haaland.

After receiving a huge impact, the latter flipped over in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

"The ball was caught by Kante, and he moved with his big foot, once again came to the left, and handed it to Hazard."

"Chelsea launched a counterattack, and the ball came to the left. Hazard made a cross, but his Belgian compatriot Kompany headed it over."

But Kanter's follow-up long-range shot once again hit Joe Hart's arms.

"In addition, we can see that Chelsea shot 11 times in the half, and 4 of them were on target, while Manchester City only shot twice, except for David Silva's shot in the opening game.

The volley was a counterattack shot by Aguero in the 40th minute."

Although the first attack failed to create a threat, Manchester City still controlled possession of the ball and still organized patiently.

After receiving the ball, Zabaleta sprinted forward. Seeing that Terry could not break through to defend, he passed the ball back to the left. At this time, David Silva followed up with a volley shot.

But the ball went a little higher and missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

They soon got another chance.

"What do you think?"

Gary Neville did not come because after Manchester United lost 0:8 to Chelsea, he announced his temporary withdrawal from Sky Sports and would no longer serve as a broadcast guest.



"Oh, it was so close, Bernardo Silva wasted a great opportunity! He pushed the ball wide!"



"It's just that the situation now seems to have been controlled by Chelsea. They are firmly in control of the situation of the game."

"In terms of ball possession rate, Chelsea has reached 58%. In other words, Manchester City, which has always been praised for its technical skills in the Premier League, has only a measly 42% ball possession rate in front of Chelsea."

Everyone also stopped chatting and looked at Lineker quietly.

Lineker joked: "It may not be a good thing for Arnold to stay in Liverpool. Maybe if he follows Pan Yi, he will become the next Beckham or Pirlo, but staying in Liverpool will

Be the next Carragher..."

"Speaking of which, today Kompany not only has to guard against Hazard's breakthroughs and passes, but also has to withstand Chelsea center Lukaku. These two fellows are really keeping him busy."

"We can see from the slow-motion replay that Bernardo Silva was interfered by Demichelis when he started, so he was not so comfortable when shooting, which also affected his power."

"But no matter what, I feel like I can congratulate you in advance." Alan Shearer also smiled, "As we all know, any young man who is favored by Pan Yi will be kicked out."

He can no longer bear to be humiliated in the live broadcast room!

At the same time, it has been attacked by netizens from all over the world.

Lineker concluded:

"Manchester City had the advantage in the first ten to fifteen minutes, but starting from the 20th minute, Chelsea slowly found its own rhythm and began to attack Manchester City again and again."

As Lineker listed the lineups on both sides, everyone could see clearly that it was really 3-4-3 versus 3-4-3!

At this time, Manchester City transformed into a defensive counterattack mode, waiting for Chelsea to make a mistake, and then use their star ability on the front line to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

They first passed the ball to Kompany, and then the captain passed it to Fernandinho who returned from the midfielder position.

On the sidelines, Pellegrini clapped vigorously and then shouted to the players on the court.

Even though it was just a shot and no score, it was not achieved through a quick counterattack and taking advantage of the loopholes in the opponent's defensive formation that could not be fully established.

After Lineker finished his opening remarks, Harland Sr. also put forward his own views:

"Although I hope Manchester City can win today's game, to be honest, I am really looking forward to Pan Yi's Chelsea."

"This time Chelsea broke through from the center and then split the wings. Marcos Alonso stepped in and shot straight away! Joe Hart reacted quickly and held the ball out with one hand."

"Yes, if the tactics can be copied, then teams around the world don't need to hire coaches. They can just copy others." Alan Shearer also scratched his head, "Besides, even if the tactics can be copied, the players on both sides will not

Is it the same? Can even the technology, coordination, and mental attributes be copied together?"

"The Portuguese also looked very upset and depressed."

On the football field, spirit is often more important than technique and tactics!

At this time, Chelsea on the field also began to fight back.

"They are the team that has really stood out in the Premier League over the past many years. Their playing style is so advanced, so advanced, and so surprising."
