The Tigers shot at the beginning, Ronaldo and Messi begged me to retire!

The game continues!

Chelsea are like a small sampan, swaying in the rough sea.

Although Courtois blocked several threatening shots from Manchester City in a row, the reality of Chelsea's siege remains unchanged.

Chelsea couldn't fight back, couldn't fight back, and the tactical arrangement didn't allow it.

Even if Courtois' save boosts morale, for Chelsea, all they can do is stay firmly in the back.

Courtois can save once, save twice, even save three times or four times....

But can he guarantee that he can block a firepower Xu Ning throughout the game?

Don't say anything about Xu Ning's bad form, Chelsea's defensive line just now is almost a take-and-ask for him.

The only two reasons for not scoring goals were bad luck and Courtois.

But Xu Ning can't be unlucky all the time, and Courtois can't keep hanging all the time!

This means that Chelsea's goal could be lost at any time under Xu Ning's bombardment.

Xu Ning's attack power alone was worth thousands of troops.

But today was indeed a bit of an evil door, and Chelsea's entire first half could be described as fatal.

Manchester City attacked like crazy, and several major attackers took turns, among which Xu Ning was charging ahead.

But until the end of the first half, Manchester City still failed to break through Chelsea's goal.

This feeling is really difficult to accept.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City contributed a total of 23 shots on goal, but none of them hit!

Chelsea held the goal so hard that they crossed the halfway line only a handful of times.

The home fans felt incredible that such a situation would not have been visible in last season's game.

Jose Mourinho's team was so resilient that Manchester City were caught off guard.

When they walked off the pitch, the Chelsea players had tired expressions on their faces, but the sense of conviction made people sigh.

Xu Ning walked beside Drogba and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Kind of interesting!

The difficulty of this competition was much higher than Xu Ning expected.

This kind of iron barrel array is indeed not an easy task!

Although a draw is not an unacceptable result, at the Etihad Stadium, there is always an explanation for the home fans.

I'm afraid I'll have to think more about it in the second half.

Back in the dressing room, Xu Ning saw a serious-looking Manuel Pellegrini, and it was clear that the Manchester City manager was not very happy with the result of the first half.

However, Pellegrini understood that the result of the draw in the first half was not the responsibility of the players, and the players were not to blame.

So after some morale, Pellegrini also made personnel tactical adjustments according to the situation of the game.

Sergio Aguero replaced David Silva and pulled De Bruyne's position to the right, changing the overall formation to a three-centre-forward 433.

Bolder and more aggressive, almost abandoning the defense in full attack.

Of course, if Chelsea don't come out in the second half, it's undoubtedly a very targeted adjustment.

Sergio Aguero's presence means doubling the attacking power in City's penalty area, and although Aguero's tactical role is not as obvious as Dzeko's, he is more flexible and more likely to make a contribution, especially in scuffles.

At the same time, it can also liberate Xu Ning's energy, and the location can be arranged more flexibly, causing greater threats.

Thanks to the strong configuration of Manchester City's squad, Pellegrini's various tactical experiments have been realized, and the engineer is already the happiest manager in world football, and probably not one of them.

Xu Ning also has his own plans.

It's better to score goals with the strength of the whole team.

If he can't, he'll have to find a way to go it alone!

It may seem unreasonable, but to score a goal in order to win is really nothing.

And in the end, if Courtois is still like an open hanging, then Xuning can only use the last resort.

Take the initiative to apply for a yellow card, and then the yellow card will be killed!

This method was almost a means that Xu Ning had abandoned.

After all, in the face of the vast majority of opponents, there is no need for Xu Ning to use these system tricks, relying on upright strength is enough to solve it.

But now Chelsea has given Xu Ning a sense of urgency and has to find a way.

There is no talk of meanness, after all, it is all for victory.

The system, like luck, is part of the ability, isn't it?

Walking out of the dressing room and from the tunnel into the stadium, the fans in the stands burst into enthusiasm and cheers again.

Although City have not yet taken the lead, City fans believe the team can win.

After all, the team has never let them down since last season.

Xu Ning looked at the opposite Chelsea players and found that Mourinho had not made personnel changes.

After all, Chelsea defended extremely well and tenacious in the first half, and there was no reason to make hasty adjustments.

It is difficult to say whether it can improve the quality of defense or whether it will be counterproductive.

However, Mourinho was aware of Manchester City's active adjustment and had to react passively.

Sergio Aguero's arrival means Manchester City have to do more in the box, where Chelsea must impose a more intensive lockdown.

As for De Brunella on the right at the same time, it also means that Manchester City's central organization will become correspondingly weak, and they only need more forward insertions to defend Yaya Toure, rather than doing more in the middle.

Chelsea don't need a goal, they don't even need a senseless attack, they just need to keep City from scoring a goal.

However, even if Courtois can contribute like a god throughout the game, it is already difficult for Chelsea to do what they want.

Because Xu Ning was already a person who surpassed God.

At least in this green field, no one can really stop him from moving forward.

When the game came to the 63rd minute, Dzeko and Sergio Aguero desperately squeezed Chelsea's space in the box, De Bruyne and Nasri kept pulling Chelsea's defense on the left and right wings, and when Yaya Toure kept pounding in the middle to create a threat, it was Xu Ning, who had always seemed erratic, who completed the fatal blow to Chelsea with a flash of light.

Oscar, who has stronger mobility ability, has always been inseparable from Xu Ning, but Xu Ning's erratic movement has always made Oscar fearful.

If he was taken by Xu Ning to the key point of defense, Oscar would not only help the defense, but also help Xu Ning create loopholes.

It was as if this time, in Xu Ning's highly mobilizing counter-run, Oscar was taken out of place, leaving Matic overlapping.

Xu Ning received a pass from De Bruyne and immediately made a pass to Yaya Toure.

Oscar and Nemanja Matic had tacit problems in a moment, and the two moved their focus at the same time to defend Yaya Toure.

But in fact, Xu Ning just shook a shot and rushed forward directly with the ball!
