Chelsea's league game starts one day earlier than Manchester City.
When Manchester City defeated Liverpool 4-0 at home, several Chelsea players were taking advantage of their rare holiday time to relax in a high-end fan bar in London.
The most attractive thing about this bar is that Chelsea players often visit it, so there are live broadcasts of matches on the dance floor and in the boxes. It was in the boxes that Chelsea players watched the live broadcast of Manchester City.
Reborn!
This is the most intuitive feeling of Chelsea players about Manchester City's performance this season.
Last season, in addition to the veteran Arsenal, Chelsea, coached by Carlo Ancelotti, was also one of the three most famous technical teams in the Premier League. However, the one with the strongest ball control ability was Manchester City.
The worst is also Manchester City.
Even though they lost Ballack, Deco, Joe Cole and other technical players this summer, Chelsea under Ancelotti still averaged over 70% of the ball possession rate per game and scored six games in two consecutive games.
Zero's amazing record.
Manchester City does not lose to Chelsea in terms of ball possession rate, but unlike last season when their offensive ability was too poor, this season with the addition of Su Dong, Manchester City's offense has become very sharp.
The score was 3-0 in the first round, and another 4-0 in the second round. This made Manchester City only trail Chelsea after two rounds of league play, and it was still at a goal disadvantage.
But you must know that Manchester City's opponents are Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, both of which are strong teams capable of competing for the Premier League championship, while Chelsea's opponents are West Bromwich Albion and Wigan Athletic.
The strength is obviously much inferior.
This made several Chelsea players in the box feel very unbelievable.
Who would have thought that Manchester City would be so strong in the new season?
I originally thought that Chelsea was good enough, but I didn't expect that Manchester City's performance was not inferior.
"Su Dong is Su Dong. Wherever he goes, he is still Su Dong!" Drogba praised.
He really admired Su Dong.
When he was still playing for Marseille, he competed with Su Dong in the Champions League. He respected and feared Su Dong.
Even after arriving at Chelsea and becoming famous, he still couldn't defeat Su Dong.
It is no secret that Drogba wants to suppress Su Dong, but he has to admit that even if he is on the scorer list, the possibility of suppressing Su Dong is probably very low, and it may even be short-lived.
Drogba worked hard to score five goals and three assists in the first two rounds, while Su Dong seemed to be very relaxed, scoring four goals and three assists, and he was still far away in the middle of the week.
When I went to Romania to play a game, I had two shots and one pass.
After the start of the league, Chelsea can leisurely play one game a week, but Manchester City has to play one game in the middle of the week due to the qualifiers, which puts more pressure on them.
Anyone who has never played a double match a week will never understand the pressure.
The most intuitive feeling is that Chelsea can have a day off after playing Wigan Athletic. After Manchester City plays Liverpool tonight, they will continue to train tomorrow to prepare for the second leg of the Europa League qualifiers in midweek.
For a team that plays double games every week, 996 is indeed a blessing.
"Didier, you have to work harder, he will catch up with you soon!" Ashley Cole said with a laugh.
"Su Dong is really good. He doesn't need to adapt. He integrates into the Premier League as soon as he comes."
"Who says not? Sometimes I think about it, he went from the Portuguese Super League to La Liga, from La Liga to the Bundesliga, and now to the Premier League. Does he need to adapt? It seems that he is the core wherever he goes, and the whole team revolves around him.
"
"This is his advantage. Because he is the core, he naturally does not need to adapt."
"It's not that simple. If the core didn't need to adapt, there wouldn't be so many sky-high-priced parallel imports in the world."
"Then tell me, why can Su Dong perform well?"
In the box, everyone in Chelsea was talking about Su Dong.
This is also the hottest topic in the Premier League right now.
As the number one player in world football, after Su Dong joined Manchester City, it was interpreted by the outside world that he wanted to go back to Maradona's path of becoming the No. 1 player in Naples. So many people are looking forward to whether he can succeed?
Judging from their performance in the first two rounds, Manchester City is still very capable.
Especially Guardiola's tactics, after receiving strong support from Sudong, Toni Kroos, Pepe and Marcelo, the overall strength has been further improved.
In this game against Liverpool, Guardiola passed and controlled the ball, constantly pulling Liverpool's defense left and right, and looking for loopholes.
And Su Dong is undoubtedly Manchester City's best player, and also the most critical and important player.
But why is it possible to achieve success every time you join a new team?
When Zidane went to Real Madrid, he still needed half a year to adapt. Why didn't Su Dong use it?
Everyone obviously lacks an answer to this question.
There was a brief silence in the box. As players, it was difficult for them to answer this question.
"Because he is very comprehensive, very good and comprehensive!"
The sudden words surprised all the Chelsea players in the box.
Turning around, I found that the person speaking was Paulo Ferreira.
This player from Porto in the Portuguese Super League was often "bullied" by Su Dong on the court.
Even later, according to what Cristiano Ronaldo revealed in an interview, he and Su Dong took pleasure in "bullying" Paulo Ferreira on the court, saying that he was a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied, and that he
Want to marry Cristiano Ronaldo and have a child for Su Dong...
When it comes to "deep hatred", who can compare with Paulo Ferreira?
This is related to a lifetime of innocence!
But now, he actually said that Su Dong was good enough and comprehensive. Are you sure he wasn't being sarcastic?
Everyone present was the top professional player in the world. After thinking about it for a moment, they immediately understood the meaning of Ferreira's words.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From his debut to the present, Su Dong has always been known for his comprehensiveness.
But his comprehensiveness is completely different from other people's comprehensiveness.
Su Dong was the kind of comprehensive person who scored ninety-nine points in every subject.
If you don't think about some things on a daily basis, you really don't think it's a big deal, but if you really have to think about them deeply, it will really make you collapse.
Because they can easily find that Su Dong is the best in every aspect.
This kind of player is just like a BUG!
He was not supposed to appear in this world, but he happened to appear.
Maradona is still limited by his height and strength, but what about Su Dong?
There is a saying that is right, the comprehensiveness of technology will bring richness of tactics.
When Su Dong is comprehensive enough, he doesn't need to adapt to anything at all. He can handle any kind of situation and emergencies with ease. This is a disaster for other players who are not comprehensive enough, but for him,
It doesn't matter at all.
What's even more disappointing is that Su Dong is not only more comprehensive and better than everyone else, but he also works harder than everyone else.
According to media reports, after Su Dong joined Manchester City, he was still the earliest to arrive at Carrington and the last to leave every day. The personal coaching team is still providing services to him, as it has been for many years.
The difference from Bayern is that now he is picked up and dropped off by a driver hired by Manchester City.
His fiancée went to Oxford University to study.
Speaking of which, this is an enviable thing.
Looking at the world of football, who's wife or girlfriend is more beautiful than Su Dong's fiancée? Can he have the education and knowledge of Su Dong's fiancée?
When they thought of this, everyone in Chelsea's box suddenly lost interest.
So desperate!
…
I don’t know how long the silence lasted before captain John Terry coughed heavily.
"Didier, you have to work harder. Our whole team supports you. We can't let Su Dong catch up with you no matter what. You have to save face for us and can't lose!" Terry said in a deep voice.
Everyone was also aroused and nodded immediately.
"You're right. We might not be able to defeat him in a one-on-one fight. Is it possible that we can't defeat him as a whole team?"
"Yes, our entire team supports you, Didier." Malouda also expressed his stance.
The players present are all players who have played for Chelsea for many years. They are very familiar with each other, get along well, and have a sense of dependence on Chelsea. Naturally, they all hope that Drogba can maintain the lead over Sudong and compete for Chelsea.
tone.
"Our first game against Manchester City this season is on the road. If we can maintain our lead over Manchester City, it will be more beneficial to our away game," Terry analyzed.
Everyone thinks it makes sense.
This kind of strong dialogue often not only examines the on-the-spot performance of the two teams, but also the overall league background behind the game, that is, the team's ranking and championship situation.
Manchester City is now beating Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, two powerful teams, and is very popular, but its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, they have more tasks in the game and greater pressure.
Chelsea's situation will be better. The schedule is very favorable. They basically did not encounter strong opponents in the first five rounds, so they can continue to run in and adjust their status through games, and then start from the sixth round to face their opponents with their best side.
.
"Before the sixth round, you'd better suppress Su Dong. In this case, his mentality will definitely be more anxious, which is good for us." Terry continued.
For a scorer, mentality is undoubtedly very important.
Many players' goal drought often comes not from the physical body, but from the mental level.
It's like a layer of window paper that breaks when you poke it, but before it breaks, you can't see the other side at all.
Drogba saw his teammates were so supportive and immediately said no more.
"Okay! For so many years, I have always wanted to have a good competition with Su Dong. Whether it was in Marseille or in our team, I never beat him. But this time, it is rare that he comes to the Premier League.
, came to our home court, there is no reason to let him go like this!"
When Drogba said this, he stood up excitedly and waved his hand, "Next, you try to pass the ball to me, I will not leave any chance to Su Dong!"
