Chapter 307 Post-Match Analysis Meeting (70100)

Duncan is relieved that Manchester City has no cowards on the road to victory in this narrow encounter.Although Chelsea is iron and blood, we also have hardness!

At this time, all techniques and tactics are secondary, only the will, only the will to win!
Kick-off again, Chelsea is still tenacious, they played wave after wave of offensive towards Manchester City's penalty area.

With Fellaini, the team's air defense has been greatly strengthened, and Chelsea's aerial bombing tactics have lost their final effect.

When the time came to 90 minutes, the fourth official raised a sign on the sidelines: 3 minutes of extra time.

Hiddink came over and spread his hands: "Mr. Referee, there were a lot of fouls in the second half, and there were many interruptions. At least 4 minutes of stoppage time..."

"Sorry, Mr. Coach, a few minutes of extra time, this is the decision of the coaching staff, you have no right to interfere..."

"But didn't you see it? The 3-minute stoppage time is really not enough!" Hiddink explained loudly.

In order to match his emotions, he waved his hands and arms vigorously.

"Please pay attention to your tone, otherwise I will write it in the referee's report after the game..."

The fourth official is obviously not easy to mess with.

Chelsea's assistant coach quickly pulled Hiddink away.

Chelsea's offense is getting more and more urgent, surrounding Manchester City's penalty area, using various methods to siege, long shots, headers, personal breakthroughs...

But the mentality was too impatient, and on the contrary, he became more and more impatient in cooperating with the details.

And Chelsea itself is not the kind of team that can embroider.

On the other hand, Manchester City, after once again expanding their lead, played very methodically. After a clearance, the frontcourt actually formed a single goal, but Samaras' shot after passing Cech was a bit too weak.

Terry, who returned to defense, made a successful clearance on the goal line.

After the end, Terry also fell into the goal because of inertia.

This seems to be the epitome of Chelsea's embarrassment throughout the game.

The game finally came to an end.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game without adding a second.

Hiddink approached the fourth official again, complaining that stoppage time was too short.

But it doesn't help.

Although Chelsea tenaciously beat Manchester City 4:4 at home, their 1:3 defeat in the first round made them eliminated.

The total score is 7:5!
The Manchester City players are also celebrating this hard-won victory.

Although they came to Stamford Bridge with a 3:1 advantage in the first round and opened the scoring for the first time in this game, Chelsea's tenacity almost pushed Manchester City to a dead end.

It's not easy!

After shaking Hiddink's hand, Duncan turned and walked onto the court, hugging his players one by one.

In such a fast pace in the second half, the players were still able to work hard to control their team without losing their sense of proportion.

Duncan has felt that the team is gradually maturing.

This is a team that has been kneaded!

With such a group of players, why worry that the team will not achieve good results?

"I think it's a matter of course for us to enter the semi-finals." At the press conference after the game, Duncan also said: "We showed a stronger will to survive than our opponents. Played to the fullest. I think, this is a well-deserved game."

"The players worked very hard. As for conceding four goals, we also scored four goals." When commenting on the four conceded goals, Duncan said: "Both sides have a lot of chances to score goals, and they all seized them. I think it was a pretty good game for the fans."

…………

When the team wins, it is natural to take a day off as usual to give them some time to soothe their nerves and recover their strength.

And the draw with Chelsea was a big test, both physically and mentally.

Although the players took a break, the coaching staff did not. They were reviewing the game.

"Actually, I think Chelsea won this game because of their will, and we won this game because of their physical strength." Jim Cassel said: "When Chelsea scored the fourth goal, many people were actually unable to run. But The stamina of our players was good until they were exhausted and there was still energy left to run. I think that was the key to our ability to score two goals in the end."

"Actually, there is a premise for this." Andy Cole said: "Hiddink's opening tactics are actually at a disadvantage compared to us. Before the game, Duncan mentioned that Hiddink is likely to continue to win the game. The tactic in the last 10 minutes of the half-time game. It turned out that Chelsea really did it, which gave us the upper hand from the beginning. This goal, in fact, came very inevitable."

"However, Chelsea's reaction after conceding the ball was beyond my expectation." Duncan smiled and said, "I didn't expect it either. Hiddink's team seemed to start with three tricks, but in fact they played nearly the entire game. , They are all insisting on this rhythm. If it is not for the physical fitness of the players, it is not enough to support the high intensity of 10 minutes. I think the result of the game is likely to develop in another direction."

"Hiddink's use of Robinho has some problems." Jim Cassel said: "Robinho's characteristics are a bit unsuitable for Chelsea. If it is used as a supplement, it is fine, but as a starter, his performance is a bit bleak. .”

Duncan nodded, and he also agreed with this view: "Obviously Hiddink wanted to use Anelka to stick Robinho and Drogba together, but the effect was obviously poor. They almost did their own thing in the frontcourt, and Robinho's The indirect assist was the only bright spot in that game."

"Perhaps Hiddink's use of Robinho was at the behest of Chelsea boss Abramovich?" Jim Cassell said, "I heard that Abramovich likes to intervene in team affairs."

Robinho is a heavy signing in Abramovich's heart, and it may be at this time that Hiddink will be asked to send Robinho.

"It's a good thing that Xia Chuang didn't bring in Robinho." Andy Cole said, "Otherwise, with 4000 million on the bench, the head coach might be under a lot of pressure, right?"

Duncan chuckled and didn't answer.

They don't know that ten years later, it will be commonplace for Mr. 8000 million or even Mr. [-] million to sit on the bench.

"And Aguero's performance in this game is really perfect. He not only has strong individual combat ability, but also can connect for the team." Andy Cole said: "His physical training has also improved a lot , The penalty we scored, Ivanovic almost danced with him face-to-face, but he still couldn’t stop him, and finally had to foul.”

Duncan smiled. Regarding Aguero's growth, he actually saw it clearly in his previous life.

Aguero not only has a perfect striker skill tree, but also has explosive mental attributes, especially in big competitions.

As long as he plays, he will gain something.

At the beginning of the season, Aguero performed well and flashed again and again. In fact, Duncan can definitely identify Aguero as the main forward.

But Duncan didn't do that.

On the one hand, it is for fairness, and on the other hand, it is to grind Aguero.

If the growth environment is too peaceful and smooth, a person will lose a lot of opportunities to learn, and it is also not conducive to facing setbacks.

And Duncan deliberately ground Aguero, letting him have a period of dormancy.

Over the past half season, Aguero's outstanding sense of teamwork and his gradually growing strong body are the capital he can gain a foothold in this arena.

As for personal ability, shooting skills and the like, last season, the 20-year-old Aguero was already the third shooter in La Liga.So this aspect is not what Duncan is worried about.

What Duncan thinks is to give Aguero greater responsibility.

Because Manchester City's next Champions League rivals...

It's Barcelona.
