Facing ridicule and cynicism from the outside world.

Chelsea responded on the pitch!

2 is better than 1!

Not only did Chelsea win a strong team for the first time this season, but they also pulled down the mighty Manchester City!

Mancini was triumphant in the opening stage. In the 2nd minute, he rushed out of the coaching area to celebrate Balotelli's lightning goal. Around 12 minutes, the visiting team fans sang, and the Italian waved to them, looking very complacent. .

However, apart from the first 20 minutes, Chelsea was in full swing in the rest of the time, with 16 to 7 shots, 5 to 1 corner kicks, and 22 to 11 crosses. The key statistics were all dominated by the Blues. The possession rate in the last 45 minutes was 57.2% to 42.8%. , Di Matteo's team pushed the opponent into a corner.

In the 29th minute, Di Matteo and Drogba whispered a few words and asked each other about their injuries. One minute later, he called Mata to the sidelines to arrange tactics.

Chelsea equalized in the 34th minute. Former Manchester City winger Sturridge passed Clichy and broke into the right side of the penalty area.

Chelsea overtook the score in the 82nd minute. Lampard passed the ball. Sturridge shot from the right side of the penalty area and hit Lescott. Lampard shot a penalty kick into the net.

The blue army has won this mighty civil war!

I finally exhaled and raised my eyebrows!

At the juncture of life and death, Di Matteo made some changes immediately after taking over the team.

He first adjusted his high-post defensive strategy. In the past few games, Chelsea played a pragmatic shrinking defense, compressing the space between several lines.

Against Valencia, the Blues achieved a 34-goal victory with a 3% possession rate. Against Manchester City, the opponents did not have many opportunities.

Di Matteo said after the game: "We have found a way to press moderately. The players feel very comfortable. Between our lines, the space is compressed. The team's defense has been good recently."

In the past 4 games in all competitions, Chelsea only conceded 1 goal against Manchester City. Compared with the beginning of the season, Chelsea's defense has improved greatly.

After passing the hell, Di Matteo can continue to challenge the world with full confidence, and let Neville, Nasri and other Manchester United and Manchester City people shut up.

Di Matteo said: "You can search the Internet and it's all criticism of Chelsea, criticism of the players. Saying our players are not good, saying these players are not competitive. But we won Newcastle away, we won Valencia The fact that we finished first in the group and we won the league leaders shows that these players can pull through and that Chelsea are competitive!"

Chelsea must be competitive, after all, the league has not yet passed halfway.

At the same time, other championship teams now have to thank Chelsea. Whoever can beat the league leader and let the leader lose points, other teams are naturally happy to see.

With 15 league rounds over, the competition for the top of the Premier League standings has become extremely fierce.

Manchester City 37 points.

Liverpool 36 points.

Manchester United 35 points.

Chelsea 31 points.

Arsenal 29 points.

Even Chelsea are only 6 points away from Manchester City!

The championship competition of the Premier League this season seems to have entered a pattern of chaos and competition!

Fleet Street is the most exciting. The suspense of the Premier League is not like the past two seasons. Liverpool has established a large advantage in the middle of the season. Although it will not kill the suspense of the league championship, it also makes people foresee the future. The trend, people were looking forward to Liverpool's Waterloo, but that didn't happen.

This season is over, and the good show of the powers fighting for hegemony has begun to be staged again!

For other giants, the devil's schedule of the Premier League has not yet begun, but Liverpool's has already begun, because they are going to the Club World Cup.

Liverpool went to Asia in five days, defeated Al Sadd with a relatively conservative lineup in the Japanese prime minister, and then sent the strongest lineup to defeat Santos in the final to win the championship!

This consumption is very detrimental to Liverpool.

In the 16th round of the league, Manchester City will face Arsenal, which has a good record recently, at home, which makes Fleet Street think that Manchester City's leading position may not be guaranteed!

Once Manchester City fails to win Arsenal and Liverpool wins again, the Premier League leader's throne will change hands.

However, Chelsea, who played first, did not continue the state of winning four games in all competitions in the past. Probably the Premier League teams have also awakened: Chelsea is not a dog in the water, anyone can swing a stick and beat them.

It is better to show the humbleness and prudence that one should have when facing a strong team.

Wigan Athletic drew Chelsea 1-1 at home.

When the opponent also began to shrink the defense line and focus on defense, Di Matteo's Chelsea's ability to play positional warfare is still a shortcoming.

He is the exact opposite of Boas, the Portuguese marshal is too aggressive, while he is too pragmatic.

Manchester United won the Queen's Park Rangers 2:0 in the away game. Since the disastrous defeat to Manchester City and Liverpool, Manchester United has exploded under the control of Ferguson. The fighting power is amazing, and the stability of the state is terrifying!

Liverpool was a guest at Villa Park. After returning to England, with the excitement of winning the Club World Cup, Liverpool was in good condition. Although it was a difficult battle, they scored with Qin Xiong's world wave from outside the penalty area and Gerrard's goal from a corner kick. , Liverpool won Aston Villa 2-0 away.

At the end of this round of the league, the finale has begun.

Manchester City VS Arsenal at home!

In this thrilling confrontation, players from both sides created a lot of scoring opportunities, but the final result was Silva's golden goal to help the Blue Moon Army pull out of the quagmire and continue to score in the league. Soaring to the top of the list!

Manchester City beat Arsenal 1-0 at home!

This season's fiery Arsenal striker Robin van Persie could not save Arsenal's defeat in this game.

He is the focus of the field, and can even be said to be the focus of the Premier League now.

Because many clubs want to get Van Persie with consistent goals, and because Van Persie is in Arsenal, he is not as unavailable as other stars.

Just like the Manchester City fans shortly after the start of the game, the Blue Moon fans on the sidelines sang a song about Van Persie and mocking Arsenal as if they had discussed it beforehand: "Van Persie is ours, you are just our satellites. The club, Van Persie is ours..."

Mancini, who won this mighty civil war, also got worse after the game and played Van Persie's idea.

"There is no doubt that Van Persie is incomparable. His role is like the importance of Aguero to our team. His performance recently is simply fantastic, scoring all kinds of unparalleled goals."

And the Manchester City players also added fuel and vinegar, as if they were sending a friendly call to Van Persie.

Defense general Richards said: "Van Persie is simply too important. His 33 goals this year are amazing. If Arsenal can always keep Van Persie, then they will have the hope of considering competing for the championship."

Iron Gate Lescott said: "Although I would not trade him for any striker in our team, it is great that he can play for us. We welcome any world-class star into the team, and Van Persie is one of them. He is the biggest and main threat to this Arsenal team at the moment."

Wenger estimated that he would be furious after hearing the remarks of the Manchester City general, and at the same time hated Manchester City. (to be continued~^~)
