Chapter 1004

Glory's goal was the last straw that crushed Chelsea.

Before Ancelotti could think of any countermeasures, his team was already torn apart by glory.

With two goals behind and still facing Manchester City, it seems that there is no need to think about countermeasures.

This game... can Chelsea still win?

Unless Manchester City's own brain is disabled.

But in such a crucial game, how could they be messed up?
Ancelotti sighed, a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

He is not unfamiliar with this feeling, and he also felt this way in the 2007 Champions League final.He also felt it when the two sides played against each other in the first half of this season.

As long as you are fighting against Rongguang, you will definitely have this feeling-no matter how much effort you put in before the game, you will find that these efforts are unnecessary and all useless.

To be honest, although Ancelotti is very familiar with this feeling, he really, really hates this feeling.

Ancelotti returned to the coach's bench, sat down, and then looked at the court in a daze, without saying a word.

※※※

While Ancelotti was deeply helpless, the Manchester City fans at Stamford Bridge and those Manchester City fans in front of the TV were all cheering unscrupulously.

Scoring two goals in a short period of time, in their view, Manchester City has completely sealed the victory.

The rest of this game is completely under their control. Manchester City can go as fast as they want, and slow as they want. They basically have the final say on things like the pace of the game.

In such an important Tianwangshan battle, Manchester City was able to win Chelsea, and many people have really seen the hope of winning the championship!
42 years, the first championship of England's top league!
When Manchester City fans thought of this, their eyes were wet.

In the darkest period of Manchester City at the end of the last century, their highest goal was to be able to stay in the Premier League stably, not to be an elevator.As for such a thing as the Premier League championship, they dare not even think about it.

But now, this dream that I dare not dream at all has a great chance of becoming a reality...

Who said Jinyuan football is bad?
Can we buy Rong without gold dollars?
If there is no Rong, how can we have a chance to compete for the league championship? !
Manchester City fans are probably the least resistant to foreign capital right now.

When Murdoch wanted to acquire Manchester United, it aroused protests and concerns from Manchester United fans across the UK.Later, the American businessman Glazer bought Manchester United. Some angry and disappointed Manchester United fans simply organized a club by themselves. The name is "United Manchester United".They started from the lowest level of the league and wanted to turn this team into a team that truly inherited the spirit of Manchester United.

But when the same thing happened to Manchester City, only a small number of Manchester City fans protested, and such things as organizing a "City Manchester" club never happened at all.

Manchester United have enough glorious past to make their supporters proud of it, so they cannot accept capital tarnishing their beloved club.

But Manchester City didn't. Their life was too hard and they desperately hoped to get better.How to get better?Of course you need money!
Chelsea is actually a living example that Manchester City fans can see-how money can make Chelsea complete the transformation, from a league spoiler to a league champion.

This game is also a duel between the new and old upstarts of the Premier League.

It now appears that Manchester City, which spent more money than Chelsea, won this duel.

Today's football is really inseparable from money...

※※※

After Manchester City took a two-goal lead, the Chelsea players seemed a little distraught, not knowing how to play the next game.

attack?They scored a goal in one counterattack. Isn't it more and more behind if they continue to play like this?

Don't attack, they are two goals behind now, if they don't attack and keep this score until the end, won't they still be unable to escape the fate of losing?

So to attack or not to attack?

The vast majority of Chelsea players chose not to attack.

Because how did you lose the ball just now?

Isn't it because they were eager to equalize the score after falling behind and aggressively pressed the offense, so Manchester City seized the opportunity to fight back successfully?

We still have to attack at this time, because we really think we don't concede enough balls.

If you want to attack, at least you have to wait until this trend has passed...

So in the next game, Chelsea was not in a hurry to attack.

They shrunk their defense and tried not to lose the ball.

At this time, Benitez also made a substitution.

He replaced Sneijder with Martin Petrov.

Sneijder, who had just returned from injury, was in poor condition and poor physical fitness. In order to prevent him from being injured again, Benitez replaced him.

Anyway, there is no need for him to stay on the court now.

It's better to rest a little more, he will be needed in future games.

Sneijder also did not express his dissatisfaction with the head coach substituting himself in less than 10 minutes of the game, and he happily accepted the decision.

Now the team is leading by two goals, the team is playing the best defensive counterattack, and Glory is on the court, Sneijder is not worried about any unexpected situations at all.

He high-fived Martin Petrov in a lighthearted mood and walked off the court.

After Martin Petrov came on the field, because he has a faster speed than Sneijder and is a good side attack player, Benitez's thinking is very clear, that is, to play defensive counterattacks.

Relying on the speed and personal skills of Rong Guang, Petrov and David Silva, they threatened Chelsea's goal.

Any one of the three of them has good personal ability and strong individual combat ability.

So when counterattacking, you don't have to pass the football to Rongguang, but pass it to the other two people to threaten Chelsea's goal.

At the same time, the speed of the three players is very fast, and they can also cooperate with each other.

Keeping these three people on the court can make Chelsea dare not press aggressively in the next game.

We always say that "the best defense is offense", but many people always misunderstand this sentence, thinking that offense is the kind of attack in which the opponent is out of breath when a large number of soldiers press down on the situation.

But in fact, the best defense should be the adjustment made by Benitez now. It seems that the offensive players are replaced with the intention of strengthening the offense, but the actual effect is to stabilize the defense.

This is "the best defense"!
※※※

After Benitez made adjustments, Chelsea played even more uncomfortable.

Want to attack?
His backcourt was being targeted by three fast horses.

Not to attack?
That is to kill people with a blunt knife, grinding people to death little by little.

Ancelotti also made adjustments, trying to strengthen the offense.

But the effect is not good.

When the game progressed to No. 80 minutes, the score still did not change. The score of 1:3 was very eye-catching on the big screen at Stamford Bridge, so eye-catching.

Many Chelsea fans were silent, and the stands at Stamford Bridge were much quieter.

In the last 10 minutes, Ancelotti got up from the coach's bench and walked to the sidelines. He stood and watched the last 10 minutes of the game.

But his presence did not change the score.

In the last 10 minutes, Manchester City played very calmly, allowing Chelsea to bombard their half court indiscriminately, and they were not in a hurry.

Anyway, even if you concede a goal, you are still ahead of Chelsea by one goal.And it is more likely that they scored a goal through a counterattack before losing the ball...

Finally, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

"The game is over! Manchester City beat Chelsea 3:1 in the away game! From the point of view of the score, the gap is not very big, but from the scene, Manchester City should be able to score more goals, and the score should be even bigger! But it doesn't matter... The important thing seems that Manchester City won. In the process of competing for the league title with Chelsea, they won this very crucial game!"

"This Manchester City team is simply too strong to be defeated! If the opponent presses the attack, they will play a defensive counterattack. If the opponent shrinks the defense, they also have powerful weapons that can break through the dense defense! Who can beat them? Who can stop them?!"

At Stamford Bridge, in Chelsea's grounds, Manchester City's players ran to celebrate.

※※※

In his post-match press conference, Ancelotti refused to admit that the defeat was a serious blow to the team.

"We are now four points behind them, which is not a big gap. We have been behind them by as much as four points before, but in the end we caught up. It is too early to say that the league title belongs to Manchester City..."

Benitez also expressed the same point of view: "I am very happy to beat Chelsea, but the victory in this game has nothing to do with the league title. If we want to win the league title, we need to win the next ten rounds of the league."

Benitez is not pretending. He really thinks that now is not the time to be happy. There are still ten rounds left in the league. At the same time, Manchester City must also break into the quarter-finals in the Champions League.As the end of the season approaches, there is a lot of pressure on Manchester City from all aspects, and that is the real test.

So now you have to be careful.

And what Ancelotti said is naturally to boost the morale of the team so that they don't give up before the league is over.

There are still ten rounds left in the league, and now they are four points behind, and it is not time to give up.

This is his first season at Chelsea and he needs a league title to consolidate his position.He is very clear that the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich, is not a particularly patient person... Think about it, Grant led Chelsea to the historic Champions League final, but wasn't he still swept out by Abramovich in the end?
If he wants to stay in this team for a few more years and implement his own coaching ideas, then this first season must leave something to prove his strength.
