"This attack was initiated by Hazard on the left. As Chelsea's most threatening point, Hazard has always been very stable in previous games.

Manchester City's right defense needs more attention!

In addition, Costa in the middle is also very good at finding opportunities.

Pedro's second-point ability, positioning and shooting skills on the right will cause a lot of trouble for Manchester City's defense.

These three people should not be underestimated.

Manchester City must stabilize the defense while attacking.

Being counterattacked by Chelsea is very fatal!"

"This game is destined not to be an ordinary dull game!!

Manchester City's midfielders and frontcourt players also have strong impact.

Super Zhao has shown a very strong level of confrontation and ability to grasp opportunities after returning to the center position!"

With Azpilicueta and Zhao Yi back on the court, both sides have returned to their strongest form.

When Manchester City organized the attack, Chelsea's three central defenders began to retreat, and with Alonso Moses, Chelsea's defense once again became an iron wall.

This time, not only David Luiz, but also Cahill and Azpilicueta focused on Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was alone in the penalty area, and even gods could not do anything.

Chelsea's double defensive midfielders blocked the area in front of the penalty area, including Pedro and Hazard who retreated very deep.

There was only one Costa, and he did not move too far forward, always maintaining a tight formation and being able to support defense at any time.

Manchester City could only seek opportunities from the wing, allowing Sterling or De Bruyne to cooperate with Kyle Walker Delph to create some gaps.

However, Chelsea's defense was very tight. After a wave of consecutive victories, Chelsea's confidence and temperament have been improved.

The defense was very tenacious.

Everyone spared no effort to fill the gap.

In a small space, it was very difficult for Manchester City to find a gap.

Unless it was close to the sideline, there would be loopholes, but in that place, it was impossible to shoot directly.

If it was passed into the penalty area, it would be cleared by three central defenders.

It was too difficult to find Zhao Yi.

After the two goals at the beginning, the defense of both sides was upgraded to a higher level.

No more good opportunities were found.

In the 20th minute of the game, Manchester City's possession rate reached a terrifying 70%.

This was against Chelsea.

Conte was determined to play a defensive counterattack.

"Zhao Yi... came out of the penalty area. Manchester City now has no center forward...

Is this going to change the style of play?"

Zhao Yi ran out of the penalty area, and David Luiz and Cahill followed.

Sterling ran into the penalty area and interspersed.

But the opportunity was not good.

On the periphery, after Zhao Yi and Silva passed the ball continuously, De Bruyne swung a kick on the left side of the penalty area, but the effect was not very good and was blocked by Azpilicueta.

Fabregas got the ball near the penalty area line and immediately moved sideways.

Manchester City players responded and moved at the same time, cutting off Fabregas's passing route, while Gundogan and David Silva double-teamed Fabregas.

Zhong Yifa showed the strength of a top midfielder at this time, with great footwork.

He actually got rid of the entanglement of the two and kicked the ball out.

Moses got the ball on the wing and started sprinting along the sideline.

Delph on the left blocked the inside line, delayed the attack, and let his teammates return quickly.

Moses's impact ability is quite strong, and he crossed the center line with the ball.

"Chelsea counterattacks quickly... pass it to Pedro!

Pedro... can't break through Kante's defense... pass back to the middle..."

Although Matic and Fabregas are speeding up to help, Pedro obviously does not trust Matic's organizational ability and directly kicks it to Fabregas.

Fabregas successfully passed Gundogan and passed the ball to the left!

Hazard got the ball and rushed quickly.

But this time Manchester City's right side is Kyle Walker.

Kyle Walker speeds up, faster than Hazard.

Hazard wanted to use the change of rhythm to shake off Kyle Walker and cut inside.

He didn't want to waste this fast break opportunity.

But Kyle Walker stood still and used his relatively large body to block Hazard. Hazard couldn't break through or cut inside.

Gundogan came back in time, and Hazard was completely locked in.

Alonso quickly passed by Hazard, and Hazard passed the ball to Alonso.

Kyle Walker followed immediately.

At the same time, Kompany also retreated from the middle to support the entire right side.

The two sides had a very fast rhythm and rushed to Manchester City's half.

"This counterattack... should be gone..."

Alonso ran all the way to the bottom line, and Kyle Walker followed very closely.Hazard inserted forward and tried to cooperate with Alonso, but Kompany and Gundogan quickly cut off the passing route.

Alonso could only pass the ball to Fabregas who responded.

"Chelsea's counterattack was very fast, but Manchester City's retreat was even faster. This time Chelsea couldn't seize the opportunity and it was difficult to find Costa who followed up in the middle.

Costa had a gap, but all the passing routes were blocked.

Manchester City's defense is very flexible!"

"Chelsea organized the attack."

Fabregas took the ball back to the middle.

Zhao Yi stayed in his own half, and David Luiz and Cahill followed not far away.

Azpilicueta supported and helped organize the attack.

Manchester City's backcourt players began to consciously press forward.

Fabregas, Alonso, and Hazard passed the ball several times, but Chelsea still wanted to find a breakthrough from the left.

Soon, Kante on the left of Manchester City supported to the right.

Relieve the defensive pressure on his teammates.

Manchester City began to gather people on the right side, putting enough pressure on Chelsea's attacking players.

"Alonso... find Fabregas, Fabregas... Fabregas!!! Mistake!! Kante cut it off!!"

Kante had short legs, and poked the ball with his left foot from the side, then quickened his pace, stretched his right leg forward, and poked the ball out completely.

Fabregas stumbled and tried to rush to the ball.

Gundogan blocked Hazard who wanted to interfere, and kicked the ball.

The ball flew across the sky and headed for Chelsea's front court.

It was the left side.

Because Zhao Yi stood on the left, David Luiz and Cahill stood close to Manchester City's right side because they had to cooperate with their teammates' left-wing attack.

Zhao Yi ran as if he was on a hot wheel.

"Is there a chance... Zhao, two people are chasing back..."

But because Luis stood further back, Luis chased back directly along the middle.

He didn't even think about trying to snatch the ball from Zhao Yi, because he knew he couldn't outrun Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi crossed the center line and headed for the left, while David Luiz and Cahill were chasing him along the center.

When Zhao Yi got the ball, David Luiz had already run in front of Zhao Yi, blocking Zhao Yi's breakthrough route.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhao Yi had already made a burst of movement and was ready to break through along the left!
