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

Chelsea's action on the sidelines caught Guardiola's attention.

When he noticed Pedro warming up, Guardiola knew Chelsea were going to change.

From the point of view of formation changes, Conte's idea is no problem.

But the personal strength of the players has become the direct cause of the poor results.

The road ahead of Conte is also very clear-either trust the players on the field, or change in time.

As Pedro began to warm up, it meant that Conte chose the second option.

The formation of 352 was switched to 343, and it seemed that there was not much change. When Hazard returned to the left, it reminded Kyle Walker that he needed to be more vigilant.

Although Kyle Walker had an advantage in the previous match, the game was not decided in one round.

The game restarted, and Chelsea's advancement suddenly accelerated, which made Manchester City a little "panic".

After a while, Manchester City quickly adapted to the rhythm of the game. Their position was established, and Chelsea was dragged into the position again.

Although this is not what Guardiola wants, he is also quite clear that after taking the lead, Manchester City can switch to another way to play.

Especially against the opponents of BIG6, their strength should not be underestimated, so it is not unacceptable to give up part of the ball possession time.

Another point is that against those teams that are good at playing defensive counterattacks, giving up the ball possession time appropriately and forcing the opponent to attack, this will help Manchester City to catch the opponent's mistakes.

This is the case at the moment.

Chelsea got the position vacated by Manchester City, and they pressed higher. At this point, Li Feng joined hands with Sane and other frontcourt players to put pressure on Chelsea to watch the ball.

Sterling's side seems to be weak, but behind him is the younger Special Olympics. This full-back who landed in the Premier League for the first time, although he is not so experienced in terms of experience, but his unyielding energy is his strength. The reason for securing Manchester City's starting left-back.

Pedro on the right and Azpilicueta hit the wall with a wonderful match.

Azpilicueta made a pass and the ball landed very precisely on Morata's head. This was another chance for Chelsea to score.

But this time the header ended up flying out of bounds against the goal crossbar.

Missing good opportunities to score consecutively made Morata very annoyed.

Manchester City's goal kick.

Taking the ball from the ball boy, Edson Morais took a look at the situation in the frontcourt. He didn't rush the ball, especially when he noticed Morata's position.

The more cautious Edson Morais knows that once he is negligent, Morata will inevitably seize this mistake.

Noticing Li Feng's position in the frontcourt, Edson Morais drove forward.

The football landed precisely in Li Feng's area, and Li Feng, who was under strong confrontation, once again controlled the ball. Manchester City's fierce offensive will come in the next time.

Li Feng returned the ball to De Bruyne, who sent the ball straight through without stopping.

Li Feng, who went forward, even got rid of the defender.

The extremely fast Li Feng took the first step to control the ball and had a chance to shoot with his right foot.

This is not good news for Li Feng.

Whether to choose to shoot with his right foot made Li Feng hesitate for a while, and this hesitation allowed the opponent to seize the opportunity.

Courtois's sudden attack caught Li Feng by surprise. Before he had time to make adjustments, the ball was directly hugged by Courtois who was attacking.

Regarding Courtois' choice, Li Feng just wanted to say, "This is really brave!"

Courtois' choice made Zhang Jun couldn't help but sweat for the goalkeeper.

"The risk of such an attack is really high. If one is not careful, Courtois may really get stuck here."

"Fortunately, Li Feng stopped his movements. Otherwise, Courtois would have a high probability of being carried off the court if he hit the ground."

Zhan Lu also interjected at this time.

"The stakes were huge, but this time his gamble paid off."

Chelsea's attack spread out again.

This time their advance was more cautious.

Time is also passing by little by little in this kind of combing.

When Mattkinson blew the whistle in his mouth, it meant the end of the first half.

The end of this time point also allowed Manchester City to enter the second half with a 1-goal lead.

Although the advantage is not big, it is conducive to Manchester City to make targeted adjustments. After all, they still need to consider the physical fitness of the players in multi-line combat.

The first half of the game is over. At this point in time, fans or commentators who pay attention to the game from all sides are expressing their opinions.

[From the point of view of the scene, Manchester City is more dominant, but this is also because Chelsea's defense is really problematic!I believe that as time goes by, Chelsea can rebuild a top defense! 】

[Christensen is a softie, I don't understand why Antonio Conte chooses him to defend Li Feng?Shouldn't Rudiger be the best choice? 】

[Manchester City did a good job defending in the first half, especially Kyle Walker. I have to admit that this guy is really strong. The famous nightclub guy can still maintain such a good state on the court. This guy is really outrageous! 】

[Li Feng is also constantly "evolving", and now he is more selfless, which also proves that the current Manchester City team is the most favorable competitor in the Premier League this season. 】

[However, what I'm more curious about is why Teo Hernandez can secure the team's starting left back?This is simply a gamble! 】

【.】

For the first half of the game, the fans expressed their views, that is, they all believed that Manchester City this season is the biggest favorite in the league.

Guardiola has always sneered at such statements, but now he realizes a problem, he doesn't care, and those "old guys" don't care.

Then this can affect only those young people.

In order to avoid too much fluctuation in the mood of the young people, Guardiola asked Soriano to find a psychiatrist to prevent such things from happening.

"Everyone performed very well in the first half. Let's give ourselves a little applause first. We need to pay attention to the second half."

The head coaches of both sides are making adjustments to the team, especially the one behind. Conte even made the most "extreme" adjustments in this short 15 minutes.

When the door of the locker room was knocked, Conte realized that the game was about to start again.

The players were quickly back on the field and play resumed at Mattkinson's whistle.

Manchester City kicked off in an away game.

Li Feng was not in a hurry to move forward, but was waiting for feedback from his teammates.

After several passes, the ball came to Kevin De Bruyne again.

Before receiving the pass, De Bruyne had already observed the situation on the pitch.

There didn't seem to be too many opportunities, so De Bruyne didn't choose to pass the ball at the first time, but moved forward and continued to look for opportunities.

Noticing that his teammates did not pass the ball, Li Feng also moved to tear Chelsea's defense.

When pulling to the left, Li Feng "rarely" "collided" with Rudiger.

It was also at this time that Li Feng felt the strength of the opponent.

In terms of pure strength, Rudiger is not weak, but his weight seems to be a bit light, which is also compared to Li Feng.

At present, Li Feng's static talent is top-notch, with a height of 1.8 meters nine and a weight of [-] kilograms, coupled with the flexibility that does not match it, this has created a monster-level player.

The "operation" of resisting Rudiger's forward advancement was naturally seen by De Bruyne. The midfielder naturally chose to give his teammates the best support-passing the ball!
De Bruyne's long pass fell on Li Feng's head accurately as if he had followed a set ball.

Header!

Manchester City's attack once again threatened Chelsea's goal.

Fortunately, Chelsea's goalkeeper is Courtois. He is tall and long.

Manchester City's corner kick.

It is another opportunity to directly threaten the goal. For Chelsea, their defensive pressure is still there.

Li Feng stood in the penalty area, and the player next to him was replaced by Rudiger. This may be Conte's arrangement, but in the process of confrontation in the air, Rudiger may not be able to do anything to Li Feng.

The "choice" to take the corner was given to Kevin De Bruyne.

For the judgment of the situation, De Bruyne has his own understanding, especially when Li Feng occupies the most conspicuous position in the penalty area, how to send the ball effectively has become a problem that De Bruyne needs to think about.

When De Bruyne raised his hand, "you" in the penalty area were ready.

The ball drew a wonderful arc in mid-air. For Chelsea, they smelled a crisis.

The ensuing scene validated their feelings.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 62nd minute of the game, Manchester City relied on the connection between De Bruyne and Li Feng, and they expanded the score. This is not good news for Chelsea."

"At home, down 0-2, with 28 minutes left in the game."

Zhang Jun did not continue to open his mouth for the rest.

Theoretically speaking, Chelsea have the ability to equalize the score, whether it is from the remaining time or the overall strength of the team, they can do it.

But what the actual situation is, it depends on the next "change" of Chelsea.

The 2-goal lag is bad news for Conte, but he also has to admit the fact that his "operating" ability is not as good as Guardiola's in the same multi-line combat situation.

In other words, the thickness of Manchester City's lineup determines the trend of their game.

Even in the last Champions League group match, they also arranged a starting lineup, but someone on their bench was able to stand up!

This is what they do better than Chelsea.

Many times on the court, it is a competition of willpower and physical fitness. No matter how good your skills are, when your physical fitness has problems, then it is time for you to have problems!
For this game, Conte also intends to let the players toss themselves.

"Let William warm up!"

Noticing that Morata's presence on the court is not strong, then it is time to make new adjustments at this time.

Five minutes later, William's debut brought another change to Chelsea's frontcourt.

The emergence of a set of "small, fast, and smart" frontcourt forced Manchester City to pay more energy on the defensive end.

Especially when Hazard reached the false nine position, his threat was more direct.

Although he doesn't have any advantage in height, his "territory" is low and he can hold his position.

The three highly flexible players in the frontcourt made Manchester City's midfielders afraid to easily press on.

But time waits for no one.

Several impacts failed to get a chance to shoot, which made Chelsea's pressure even greater.

When Hazard's shot was saved again, Guardiola chose to make a substitution on the sidelines.

Such a choice is not very understandable.

"Substitute Li Feng at this time? Is Guardiola going to defend to the death? There are still 10 minutes until the end of the game!"

"10 minutes can also change the situation of the whole game!"

Although it was a matchup substitution, Zhang Jun still couldn't understand Guardiola's thoughts.

Judging from the strength of the players, Jesus is not weak, but if he wants to achieve the effect of Li Feng on the court, it must be impossible.

"Maybe he just wants Li Feng to take a break!"

Zhan Lu's words opened up another way of thinking for Zhang Jun. Perhaps sometimes the substitution is simply to allow the starting players to get enough rest time.

Chelsea's corner kick still failed to convert into a goal. At this point in time, Manchester City launched its own attack again.

The midfielder got rid of it continuously, David Silva sent a through pass, and Jesus, who went forward, got a chance.

It's a pity that the opponent didn't give him a chance to shoot.

Manchester City's offense came to an abrupt end.

The counterattack that turned around was caught well by Chelsea.

Midfielder Cesc Fabregas got rid of consecutively, and he tore a hole in Manchester City's midfield defense.

At the moment when De Bruyne made up the defense, Fabregas sent the ball.

Marcos Alonso's performance on the wing was good enough, he got rid of consecutively, and he caught a trace of the loophole exposed by Kyle Walker.

In the inverted triangle pass, the ball was passed, but it is still more important for Chelsea whether they can seize this opportunity.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 89th minute, Chelsea pulled back a goal. Now they are still 1 goal behind Manchester City, and there are still 3 minutes left in the time (this includes injury time)."

"Manchester City kicked off and Chelsea made a fierce attack. They want to seize this last chance and try to equalize the score as much as possible!"

"drop!"

"drop!"

"drop!"

The whistle sounded for the end of the game.

Chelsea, who played at home, lost 1-2 to Manchester City who came as a guest.

This game is another victory for Manchester City, which is their constant paving of the "foundation" for their championship.

Judging from the goals Guardiola set for himself, this season, his focus is still on the league. The unbeaten early season will help them participate in the subsequent league championship competition.

After all, the league looks at the points, not the gains and losses of a game!

If they want to win the championship, Manchester City needs to remain unbeaten in the BIG6 civil war as much as possible. Now that they have taken a solid step, how to go next depends on Guardiola's arrangements for the game! (end of this chapter)
