Chapter 247 Stamford Bridge
April 12, Stamford Bridge Stadium, London.

Also known as the Stamford Bridge Library in London.

As for why it is called a library by fans, the reason is actually very simple. Stamford Bridge is not a very fanatical stadium. How could this happen in that kind of fanatical stadium.

Of course, one of the major reasons for this quiet situation is that Chelsea is located in a place with a lot of high society in London, England, and the fans who watch the game are naturally many middle-class people, and they seldom shout yell.

So the name of the Stamford Bridge Library was called that.

However, although many people know this stalk, Stamford Bridge is definitely not a library. After all, it is only said to be a library when it is playing against a weak team without any waves, and when Chelsea is facing a strong team. , Just like today's game against Manchester City, it will never be like a library.

For the Chelsea boss, Abramovich has not been able to enter the UK since May this year.Naturally, it is impossible to come to the scene to watch the game.

This is a big blow to the fans.

To say that the boss who is most popular with the fans of this team, Abramovich can definitely be ranked first in the Premier League. Of course, this list, 12 years ago, Abramovich may not have been in the forefront, but since Chelsea won the UEFA Champions League in 12. Since then, it has completed the transformation from a rich team to a wealthy team. Abramovich's status in the minds of Chelsea fans has risen sharply.

And since entering the 21st century, Chelsea is actually the most successful Premier League team in England. Whether it is the number of Premier League titles comparable to Manchester United, they have won the Champions League once.

Finally, judging from the number of times they have entered the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea is undoubtedly the one with the most Premier League teams in the 21st century, so in terms of defending the honor of the Premier League, Chelsea is undoubtedly the first.

And the Chelsea team does have an iron-blooded temperament. Of course, many people will say that this is Mourinho's football legacy.

But now in the 18-19 season, this legacy seems to be gone.

The football that Chelsea is playing now is not the kind of tough football.

Under Sarri's leadership, Chelsea have played without a striker many times this season.

There is no Zhengyin center forward.

As for the starting lineup of this game, Sarri still followed this style of play.

"Chelsea is playing a 433-[-]-[-] formation in this game. The goalkeeper is Kepa, the defense line from left to right is Alonso, David Luiz, Rudiger and Azpilicueta, and the midfielder is Kova Chic, Jorginho in the center, Kante on the right, Willian on the left, Hazard in the center, Pedro on the right."

"Manchester City's starting lineup is that the goalkeeper is Ederson, the defense line from left to right is Zinchenko, Laporte, Stones and Walker, and the midfielders are Fernandinho and Danny. David Silva is on the left, De Bruyne is on the right, the left side of the frontcourt is still our Wang Yi, the center forward is Aguero today, and the right side today is surprisingly Bernardo Silva. "

"Today's starting list, Manchester City's change is that Aguero has returned to the starting position. Guardiola may definitely face a strong team or Aguero with stronger attacking ability is better, and there is no choice on the right. Sane, who performed very well before, did not choose the regular right winger Sterling, but chose the Portuguese player Bernardo Silva who can play on the right and midfield. Diora has her own considerations."

"Okay, the focus of this round of the Premier League has officially started."

It was Chelsea who kicked off first.

Wang Yi hasn't watched Chelsea's games this season, so he's a little curious to see Hazard playing in the middle.

But after the game really started, I realized that Hazard was only standing in the center position, but he didn't want to go to the front to charge, and his body couldn't do it.

In actual combat, Hazard actually plays the position of a free man in the frontcourt. More often, William and Pedro charge forward in the frontcourt, while Hazard organizes and connects behind him, and encounters good opportunities. Sometimes it will be plugged in later.

This is what Chelsea's attack showed in the first 10 minutes.

Wang Yi originally thought that Chelsea's style of play, which is different from Liverpool's speed, strength and skill, would not pose any threat to Manchester City.

But the problem happened in the 20 minutes of the first half.

William broke through with the ball from the left and suddenly passed it to Kanter, who was inserted in the midfield.

Kanter is a typical runner who can't die, but I didn't expect that Kanter's extraordinary is also very good. When facing Fernandinho, Fernandinho has long been very angry about Kanter's remarks about what can't be done. Disgusted, he felt that he was no worse than Kanter as a midfielder.

This time, however, Kante went straight past Fernandinho.

Fernandinho's interception ability fell short in front of Kanter.

As a world-class defensive midfielder, Kanter has first-class defensive interception ability, but this season Sarri did not let him play the position of the midfielder, but instead arranged him in the right midfield position, allowing Jorginho, Sarri's love will play the midfielder position, which will liberate Kanter's offensive ability. However, Kanter's performance and performance were very average before, but he did not expect this game to explode directly.

After passing Fernandinho, Kanter arrived in front of the defense, and at this time Laporte stabilized, Stones made a move, Kanter dribbled the ball laterally, and suddenly passed the ball in reverse to the back. Hazard on.

Hazard took the ball and entered the penalty area and shot a low shot.

Chelsea scored first.

"Kante!"

"Nice pass, Hazard shoots straight!"

"The goal is scored! Beautiful! Kanter's dribble, Hazard completed the final blow! Chelsea lead Manchester City 1-0 at home."

Wang Yi stood there speechless. He couldn't blame Fernandinho, after all, Kanter's performance was so amazing.

At this time, Guardiola on the sidelines looked at Anderson speechlessly.

"You said that Kanter's performance was so mediocre when he changed his position this season. How did he play so well against us?"

"In this game, it seems that he is more responsible for advancing the task, but isn't Kovacic better at advancing and dribbling? Is it to let Kovacic organize it?"

"But Kanter is already like this. If Kanter is to be restricted next, it is very likely that Kovacic will be replaced to advance."

Guardiola has a decision.
