When Hazard tried to cut inside with the ball from the left, Ivanovic got close to him, knocked him down, and stole the ball.
At this time, referee Weber did not call a foul.
The whole Intihad stadium was booed.
Suarez quickly caught up from behind, entangled Ivanovic on the left, and then savagely hit the Serbian defender.
In terms of height, Ivanovic is 1.88 meters tall, while Suarez is only 1.82 meters tall. He is at a disadvantage. Even if he fights with physical strength, the Uruguayan forward does not have any advantage.
But Suarez relied on such brute strength to hit Yinvanovic.
After all, the Uruguayan forward used the impact of his run-up. Although he could not knock away Ivanovic, he finally knocked the opponent away a step. He caught up with the football first, passed the ball back, and handed it to Gua.
Les Bell.
…
When Gao Shen saw Suarez snatching the ball back from the sidelines, he immediately joined the 50,000 Manchester City fans at the scene to affirm Suarez's counterattack with warm applause.
He likes players who are aggressive and enterprising.
More importantly, Suarez's successful counterattack at this time is very important to Manchester City.
It can be said that he avenged Hazard, or it can be said that he grabbed another offensive opportunity for Manchester City.
Chelsea began to press Gareth Bale who had passed the halfway line, but Hazard decisively retreated to respond.
Essien was like a mad dog, chasing and grabbing the ball. Gareth Bale had no choice but to retreat and find a gap. He moved the ball to the center of the defense and avoided Drogba.
, handed it over to Kompany who was behind at the end.
Kompany received the transfer ball from Gareth Bale in the center circle of his own half. He glanced ahead and looked for Javi Martinez first, but found Deco and Anelka.
Nearby.
The Spanish midfielder pointed to the right, signaling Kompany to pass into the gap.
The Belgian central defender immediately saw Rakitic retreating, passed the ball directly to the ground, and re-passed the ball into Chelsea's half, giving it to the frontier of the 30-meter area.
Rakitic retreated halfway, stopped the ball, turned around, and combined together, his movements were very skillful.
As soon as he turned around, he was flanked by three Chelsea players, but the Croatian midfielder was very skilled with his feet. He turned to the left, stopped the ball, and quickly sent a pass with his left foot to the unguarded David.
At the feet of Silva.
The Spaniard turned sideways to the right, stopped the ball with his left foot, turned around, and faced straight ahead. As soon as he took two steps forward, he saw Suarez, who was still on the left just now. At this time, he quickly rushed to the ribs and reached out to point.
to the front.
Obviously, he was hinting to David Silva: Pass in front of me!
The Spanish midfielder sent a through ball without thinking, and Suarez arrived just in time. Between Carvalho and Ivanovic who returned to the position, after receiving the pass from David Silva,
Suddenly he accelerated and dribbled the ball into Chelsea's penalty area.
"A quick attack from Manchester City!"
"David Silva made a wonderful through ball, and Suarez rushed into the penalty area with the ball..."
"Single sword!!"
"The ball went in!!"
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!"
"Suarez seized the opportunity very calmly. Cech's attack did not affect his judgment. He scored a light shot and scored Chelsea's goal!"
"In the 42nd minute of the first half, Manchester City opened the scoring!"
"One to zero!"
After Suarez scored, he rushed out of the stadium excitedly and ran all the way, accepting the roar of the fans in the stands. At the same time, he did not forget to turn around and greet his teammates around him, especially David Shee who sent him a wonderful pass.
Alva.
"Manchester City's attack was very rhythmic."
"We can see that during the counterattack from the left, especially Suarez's pursuit and counterattack, after the interception, Gareth Bale made a cross pass. At this time, Chelsea's entire defensive position tilted to their left.
"
"They all feel that Manchester City should play Robben's side."
"Rakitic obviously saw this, so when he received Kompany's pass, he turned his back to the right and stopped to the left. This created a reversal for Chelsea. David Silva
He also happened to appear in the gap in the ribs to connect, and Suarez also hit the gap in the ribs of Carvalho and Ivanovic."
"It can be said that Chelsea's entire defense was misled by Manchester City."
"Yes, Andy." Martin Taylor very much recognized Andy Gray's analysis. "Not only from left to right, but actually when Manchester City was pressed by Essien on the left, they chose to pass back to the central defender and withdrew.
, so at this time Chelsea's midfielder and frontcourt made an obvious move forward."
"But Rakitic retreated and took advantage of the gap in the right rib area of Chelsea's midfielder. At the same time, Manchester City's entire offensive rhythm suddenly accelerated, and the pass was very fast and accurate."
"This is the scary thing about this Manchester City team."
"Gao Shen once said that when you retract your fist, it will be more powerful when you punch it out."
"If Chelsea had not adjusted their defense in time, Manchester City would probably have played Robben's side, allowing the Dutchman to play Ashley Cole one-on-one. At this time, Robben and Suarez would have formed two more ribs.
The slash echoes, which is also a major feature of Manchester City's offense."
Andy Gray nodded, "Chelsea defended tightly for more than 40 minutes and declared failure before the end of the first half."
"Gao Shen is disrupting English football!"
…
"Gao Shen is disrupting English football!"
These words of Andy Gray rang in the studio of [Today's Match].
Many people did not have deep feelings about this, but the three famous England players, Lineker, Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer, looked at each other and nodded to each other.
The three hosts are all legendary players and play three different roles on the court.
Alan Hansen is a very traditional English central defender, Lineker is a traditional English speed forward, and Alan Shearer is a traditional English center forward.
Different roles give them different thoughts on the court and different understandings of football.
Now, they also have different opinions on this sophisticated Manchester City.
Although they have all pessimistically criticized Manchester City, Blue Moon has now won 14 consecutive games. Is there anything more convincing than this?
They have to admit one thing, that is, the sophisticated Manchester City is successful.
This should be a fact that the whole of England, and even the whole world, will not deny.
So why is it successful?
Some people think that this is because Gao Shen invested more than 200 million to create a very competitive team. However, it must be noted that Manchester City has also emerged this season with players such as Suarez and Gareth Bale.
Javi Martinez, Hazard and Sturridge are a group of young players who were originally unknown.
Some people also say that it is because Gao Shen has created a very advanced technical and tactical system for Manchester City. So the question is, where is the advanced?
Football skills and tactics are a very complex, complicated and detailed system. It is impossible to explain everything with just one sentence.
Fans and media outside can think so, but as people within the industry, they certainly can't understand it this way.
As professional players, the three of Lineker will also try to use their own understanding of football to think about the kind of football brought by Gao Shen, and the same goes for Andy Gray.
Therefore, Andy Gray said the sentence "Senior is subverting English football".
How to subvert?
He doesn’t want a high center anymore!
Manchester United has Berbatov, Chelsea has Drogba, Liverpool has Torres, and Arsenal has Adebayor. These are all irreplaceable main centers for their respective teams, but Manchester City's main center is Suarez.
"If it were me, there would be no place in Gao Shen's current Manchester City team." Alan Shearer shook his head and sighed.
This forced him to admit that times had really changed.
In the past, England's traditional playing style was a combination of one high and one fast, such as Heskey and Owen.
Alan Shearer is also a typical English center. He is not fast enough, but his scoring ability is strong enough and his physical condition is good enough.
When Gao Shen was at Naples in Serie A, he trusted Cavani and Pellet and both acted like traditional centers. Even though both centers were a bit weird, they were still in the center mode.
But after coming to Manchester City, Gao Shen obviously overturned this model.
Giroud is a traditional center with a very obvious tactical role, but in the current Manchester City, he is more of a tactical weapon rather than the core main force. Manchester City's real main forward is Suarez.
He is 1.82 meters tall. His body is not bad but not too strong. He is not too fast but not too slow. He has excellent foot skills and excellent personal ability. He has very smart running awareness and can even compete with David Silva.
, Robinho, Hazard and other players with exquisite skills played wonderful combinations. Let alone traditional centers such as Alan Shearer, even Inker could not play with these.
Forwards like Suarez are more flexible in their movements and have a wider range of activities. They are especially good at running between the two ribs and can also retreat to get the ball and support the organization.
It can be said that, except for his slightly poor ability to break through intensive attacks, he can do almost everything.
The sophisticated Manchester City is a technical school, but they play quite tough. Like when Suarez hit Ivanovic just now, tough guys like Xavi Martinez, Kompany and David Luiz play in Manchester City.
Everyone has a place.
But the key is that their foot skills are not weak.
"From forwards to goalkeepers, Manchester City are all out of the ordinary. Look at Neuer, does he look like a traditional goalkeeper?" Reinker smiled bitterly.
It would be wrong to say that Neuer has no strength. The performance of the German goalkeeper is the first among all goalkeepers in the Premier League.
That's his playing style, especially his tendency to rush out of the penalty area and his desire to dribble past others...
Anyway, it makes people feel very uncomfortable when they see it.
Can you please stop being so wasteful?
Don’t goalkeepers just stick to their jobs?
But what did Gao Shen say?
"This is the style I want!"
Yes, I dare to say that Uncle Gao likes Nuo Yin'er's wild energy.
"Manchester City's positional attack is the best in the Premier League. A very important point is that their attack is more three-dimensional and has more comprehensive methods, especially the attack on the two ribs. I heard that during the summer training camp, Gao Shen conducted offensive drills.
The most common thing is the attack and penetration of the ribs, which are very fine."
"So, we have also seen that Manchester City's positional warfare offense has really improved significantly. Even compared with Manchester City, other teams in the Premier League, including Wenger's Arsenal and Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea, have improved their offense.
It seems very monotonous and inefficient.”
If it weren't for Gao Shen, the Premier League's giants and famous coaches might not be so embarrassed.
