King of the start, I'm the new king of the Azzurri

The upcoming BIG6 civil war, for Manchester City, this is their second duel with the Premier League giants.

If they can win the first round, Manchester City will still be a strong contender for the league title this season.

For Conte, this game is his battle of revenge, especially last season when Chelsea fell to the final championship, which is very uncomfortable for Chelsea.

And the upcoming league gives them a chance for revenge!

Guardiola is also clear about this, which leads to Manchester City needing to go all out in the next game. They need the championship to prove that they are one of the best teams in the Premier League.

The smell of gunpowder between the two sides had already begun at the pre-match press conference.

"Antonio, this is the first time this season against Manchester City, do you think you can put this Manchester City together?"

Hearing this, Conte pondered for a moment. For him, this game is more important.

For Conte personally, he made Manchester City finally complete the reversal last season and lost the Premier League championship that seemed to be coming soon, so there are some "disputes" between the two sides, which are limited to "collisions" on the field.

"We will try our best to beat them. They are the best team in the Premier League now. It will not be easy to beat them, but we will try!"

To the reporter's surprise, Conte expressed his approval for Manchester City.

It can be seen from the recent games that Manchester City has been in a good state.

Facing a strong and state-of-the-art team, Conte is naturally aware of the difficulty of defeating the opponent, especially as their seemingly "lost" striker has gradually "recovered" their state recently.

Therefore, Manchester City at this stage is one of the strongest teams in the Premier League.

If you want to be the best team, then Chelsea need to beat the best team at this stage. If you can't even do this, then Chelsea will only have slogans left!

"Antonio, will you defend against the connection between Kevin and Lee in Manchester City?"

It's a commonplace topic again, for Li Feng, Conte is naturally aware of this guy's strength, especially at this stage Li Feng is one of the best No. 9 positions in the Premier League.

For Conte, the most frightening thing about Li Feng is his age. At this stage, he has gradually become the best No. 25 in Europe.

"Yes, they are the biggest danger to prevent us from winning. If we want to win, we need to make them not play so well!"

At the press conference before the game, Conte expressed his importance.

This has attracted Guardiola's attention. Manchester City did not play easily in the match last season.

Now that both sides have gone through a summer window of reinforcement, then this match is a test of which team will complete the run-in faster.

Judging from the performance at this stage, Manchester City seems to be the better team.

Especially Special Olympics, his growth rate is somewhat beyond Guardiola's expectations.

As the schedule progresses, Guardiola is also beginning to give Theo Hernandez heavier "tasks".

The game came on schedule.

"Welcome to."

The game commentators are still familiar Zhang Jun and Zhan Lu. As commentators, their strength and game reading ability are very strong.

Coupled with Zhang Jun's years of experience in commentating the Premier League, he has a better understanding of the current Premier League.

From the perspective of team personnel configuration, Manchester City is one of the best teams at this stage. Chelsea is not bad, but their offensive ability is worse than Manchester City.

This is mainly reflected in the center position. Although Morata is very strong, when he is compared with Li Feng, he is much inferior.

If Conte wants to win this game, then he needs to give Hazard more "freedom" so that he can get a better space to play.

But Manchester City's side defense is Kyle Walker, one of the best right backs in the Premier League at this stage. What kind of fireworks will the two collide on the field, it still needs to wait for the start of the game.

"The referee of this game is Martin Atkinson. The FA usually arranges referees they trust to whistle the game in key games."

"For both sides, this game is the first league game after the Champions League group stage. Both sides have physical problems."

Physical issues are issues that both Conte and Guardiola need to consider. Unlike Chelsea, Manchester City has a relatively deep bench lineup. They can give the main players a certain amount of rest time in the case of multi-line combat.

So Zhang Jun's view on this game is very clear-Chelsea mainly focuses on defensive counterattacks!
As for Manchester City, after the rotation in the last game, Manchester City's key players have been effectively rested, and their performance may be even better than Chelsea's performance.

"At the beginning of the game, Chelsea, who are at Stamford Bridge, took the lead in attacking. Conte adopted a 352 formation in this game. This is Conte's specialty."

"The goalkeeper position is still Courtois starting, the three central defenders in front of him are left central defender Gary Cahill, center Christensen, and right central defender Rudiger;

Marcos Alonso on the left wing and Azpilicueta on the right;

Kante plays right midfield, Fabregas left midfield, Bakayoko in the center;
The double forwards are played by Morata and Hazard. "

The midfield has hoarded a lot of power, but whether Bakayoko can take on the task of dragging the midfielder needs to be observed carefully.

However, the key factor in this game is still to look at the performance of Chelsea's midfield.

Judging from past fights, Christensen, who was promoted to the starting lineup, may not be able to restrain Li Feng.

"Manchester City is still familiar 433;

The left winger Sterling, the center position is Li Feng, the right winger is Sane;”

Seeing this, Zhang Jun paused, he was a little confused, Sterling and Sane switched positions, did they want them to cut inside?

Before he had time to think about it, Zhang Jun continued to introduce the remaining starting players of Manchester City.

"Left midfield: David Silva, right midfield: Kevin De Bruyne, behind is Fernandinho;

The central defenders are familiar Otamendi and Stones, the left back is rookie Theo Hernandez, and the right back is Kyle Walker;
The goalkeeper position is Edson Morais;
Since the new aid joined Manchester City, he has quickly locked the position of the starting goalkeeper, which means that Bravo, who was introduced with a lot of money last year, will spend time on the bench. "

Zhang Jun is very envious of Manchester City's wealth.

Also rich, Manchester City and Manchester United's operations in buying people are in two directions.

If the management more often buys people in response to the requirements of the head coach, then Manchester United's strength will be even more terrifying.

It's a pity that Manchester United's management is a bit "messy", otherwise the most competitive derby in the Premier League will appear in Manchester!
Chelsea's advancement is very stable, which also gave Manchester City enough time to settle down.

Falling into position in the blink of an eye, although the ball was awarded to Azpilicueta, Li Feng was in a position that made Chelsea's return pass uncomfortable.

Continuously getting rid of, Azpilicueta gained the upper hand in experience.

The cross from the side is very accurate. Whether Chelsea can seize this opportunity, we need to see if Morata can grab this first spot!
There was an unexpected scene in the confrontation between Morata and the central defender.

"Stones overwhelmed Morata to complete the clearance, this?"

Referring to Morata's performance in Real Madrid, he should be able to grab this first spot.

However, this result is surprising, but the ball is still controlled by Chelsea.

The ball was passed back again and Chelsea started to organize again.

At this time, Li Feng's running put pressure on Chelsea's midfield.

Li Feng's pressing was very targeted. He was staring at Fabregas' movements. According to the announcement before the game, the "task" given to him by Guardiola was to create pressure on Fabregas.

As for Bakayoko and Kante, they are not that important!

Faced with the pressure brought by Li Feng, Fabregas passed the ball back again, and this pass gave Manchester City a chance.

Chelsea's organization has returned to near the center line. For Chelsea, they need to slow down and reorganize their offense.

"Chelsea's advancement has encountered a big problem. Facing Manchester City's pressing, they can only be forced to give up their positions."

"Manchester City pressed very hard, and it was difficult for them to maintain such a force."

"Christensen drove forward, this is not a rational choice!"

Zhang Jun's words hadn't finished yet, and there were some changes on the court.

Morata won this confrontation, and with his ferry, it was Hazard's performance moment.

Hazard got rid of consecutively, and he failed to get rid of Kyle Walker's defense.

Kyle Walker, who has fast speed, good confrontation and excellent defensive positioning, has become Manchester City's defensive gate on the right. Guardiola values ​​Kyle Walker's defense more than offense.

In the most direct confrontation, Hazard failed to make a breakthrough, which forced him to return the ball to Fabregas who was plugging in.

Fabregas picks a pass.

The behavior behind the hit is obvious. The current opening depends on whether Morata, who is going forward, grabs the chance to shoot, or Otamendi, who is supplementing the defense, clears the ball.

But there are always exceptions.

Morata, who grabbed the ball, hadn't had time to shoot, and a whistle interrupted Morata's advance.

Li Feng followed the whistle, and the lineman "as expected" raised the flag in his hand.

Offside!

This is something that strikers will inevitably face.

But after this offside, Manchester City will get the ball, and this is Manchester City's offensive round.

Manchester City, aiming to defend their title, will inevitably strive for victory in the "civil war" of BIG6.

The offside penalty made Conte a little angry, but it didn't help.

The game restarts.

After observing the position of the frontcourt, Otamendi moved forward with a big foot, and the goal was very clear-Li Feng!
Li Feng, who was in the frontcourt, quickly got stuck, and his excellent confrontation allowed him to quickly get stuck behind Christensen.

Sensing the strength coming from behind, a strangeness flashed in Li Feng's eyes.

The strength is not weak, but it is far from enough to shake Li Feng.

The first landing point of the ball was successfully grabbed by Li Feng.

"When the header is returned, Li Feng's fulcrum is very obvious."

"De Bruyne split sides, Sane's performance came!"

"Croquette, Sane dunks the defender, he uses his speed to tear apart Chelsea's defence."

Although Marcos Alonso held his position, Sane took advantage of his characteristics and he tore a hole.

Noticing Sane's breakthrough, Li Feng also gave enough support in the middle.

The wall-slamming cooperation between the two made Gary Cahill a little "overwhelmed". He was relatively bulky and could only watch Sane cut into the penalty area.

"Sa Nei Nei's instep pass!"

"Li Feng made a pick, turned around and volleyed!"

"Courtois reacted quickly and the ball was saved out of bounds."

"Man City get a corner."

There are not many opportunities for Manchester City to use corner kicks to score goals this season, so at this stage, we need to see how Chelsea defend on the left.

In Zhang Jun's view, the plan to restrict Li Feng through Gary Cahill and Christensen failed, so now there is another one left in front of Conte, Rudiger.

Compared with Christensen, Rudiger's confrontation ability is excellent, and his speed is also faster. The only problem is that Rudiger is relatively "rough". If you are not careful, you may give your opponent a better chance.

Out of this consideration, Conte chose to use Christensen as the main force to limit Li Feng.

Judging from the situation just now, Christensen is not qualified enough. If he continues to do such things, he might become the next Senderos.

In order to avoid such a situation, Conte quickly passed new instructions to the players on the field.

Manchester City's corner kick was still given to Kevin De Bruyne to take the penalty.

This is Manchester City's regular choice. There are not many "objects" for De Bruyne to choose from in the penalty area, which makes De Bruyne look away.

Most of the time, the change happens in an instant.

De Bruyne takes a corner kick.

The arc of rotation is very beautiful, which makes the offensive and defensive sides in the penalty area constantly put "pressure" on each other.

But the choice of this ball is really clear-outside the penalty area at the back point.

Azpilicueta's "missing man" gave David Silva a chance, and the latter's push drew a beautiful arc in mid-air.

"GOALL LLL!!!!!!"

"In the 32nd minute, Manchester City took advantage of a set-piece and they rewrote the score. They are now ahead in the away game!"

Manchester City took the lead in scoring again in the first half, which means that they are likely to continue their "state" in this game-unbeaten in the league so far.

This undefeated is not simply talking about away games or home games, but in the home and away games of the league, Manchester City has not lost.

"Antonio, should we remove Timoue?"

The assistant coach made Conte an offer.

Conte did not give a response, which gave the assistant coach a chance to perform.

"We are behind now, why not remove Timoue, and the last offensive player will fight for his life!"

After pondering for a moment, Conte responded.

"Let Pedro warm up!"

"Yes!" (end of this chapter)
