Football: Banned for life, forced to travel to Europe

August [-], Wembley Stadium.

Pellegrini deployed a relatively conservative 442 defensive formation. The two new aids Mangala and Fernando sat on the bench, and Kompany and Yaya Toure were the starters.

Another central defender, Pellegrini, still chose Nastasic, who is more familiar with making wishes. Demichelis, Zabaleta and Aguero have just returned to the team because Argentina entered the World Cup final Soon, the status has not been adjusted, and the big list has not been entered.

From this point, we can see the motivation of the players. Schurrle, who also entered the final and won the World Cup, ended his vacation early and even went to China with Chelsea.

The same is true for the Brazilian players who were defeated in the semi-finals. Oscar, William and Ramirez came back earlier than Schurrle, and they have been working with their new players for half a month now.

As for the defensive midfielder, Pellegrini chose Fernandinho, who also returned to the team early. He trusted Navas and Nasri more in the two full-backs, and David Silva sat on the bench.

The double striker is Dzeko Gajovetic, a combination of high and fast.

Chelsea's starting lineup has been fixed, that is, the starting lineup against Evergrande and the national football team. Mourinho only adjusted one position. He let Azpilicueta, who is more familiar with the Premier League, replace Felipe Luis in the starting lineup.

After the start of the game, the two sides did not test, Chelsea directly shrank the defense, and Manchester City controlled the football at their feet.

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong, Chelsea's defense line was higher!

Anyone who is familiar with Chelsea knows that they are best at low-post defense, especially when facing strong teams. Usually Mourinho will take the initiative to give up the ball and let the players fall within the 30-meter area to fight back.

But today is different. Wishing is still at the front, but Oscar, Sanchez and Hazard who are in charge of the second line of defense are near the middle circle.

And Chelsea is no longer passive defense, they began to try to control the ball, after Stones and Cesc Fabregas joined the team, the backcourt has a stable ball point, coupled with Oscar, Hazard and Sanchez returning frequently Withdrew, Chelsea's possession of the ball played well.

At least 15 minutes before the opening, they had the same ball possession rate as Manchester City, which surprised all the commentators. This is not the Chelsea they are familiar with!

Not to mention that the commentator is not familiar with it, nor are the Manchester City players.

According to the experience of last season, as long as they press a little bit, Chelsea will open their feet, so that they can regain the ball by encircling and wishing.

But today was different, they robbed several times, but they couldn't get the ball.However, the Manchester City players do not believe in evil, and they are ready to continue to press.

When the game progressed to 8 minutes, five players in the frontcourt of Manchester City pressed Chelsea's defense.

Under the conduction and command of Stones and Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea used seven passes to pick the ball out and hit Sanchez on the right at the same time.

Sanchez passed the ball to Fabregas who followed up, avoiding Nasri's entanglement.

After Fabregas received the ball, he looked up and observed, and he was not in a hurry to pass the football. He was looking for a better point of delivery.

Fernandinho leaned forward while Fabregas was observing, intending to steal the ball.

But Fabregas seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, knocked and pulled, and then turned around, leaving Fernandinho behind and protecting the football in front of him.

After Fernandinho made the attack, there was an empty space in Manchester City's midfield, and Oscar just ran into this empty space.With a light push, Xiaofa passed the football.

This is actually Harvey's way of playing football. He uses the ball to attract the opponent's defensive players to press him up, creating space for his teammates, and then he uses his ability to escape to pass the ball into the space.

Fabregas has been playing beside Xavi for so many years, and he has more or less stolen some lessons. When he was in Barcelona, ​​he didn't play the core position and rarely used it.

But after arriving at Chelsea, it was different. Mourinho entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, relying on him to judge the ball in the backcourt and deal the cards, so he naturally used the tricks of his old teammates.

After Oscar got the ball, he buried his head and rushed forward. This was the task assigned to him by Mourinho to help the team advance.

Nastasic immediately stepped forward to defend, and Kompany was also on the verge of a formidable enemy. Chelsea's top three players had been playing against the wall for a season, and they knew each other very well.

But this time Oscar did not pass the ball to Wishing, but passed the ball over the top to the left. Hazard blocked the Manchester City teenager Dedrick Boyata, who replaced Zabaleta, and received it first. football.

If a full-back is stuck on the outside by a winger, his presence in this offense will be very low, it can be said to be almost none.

Of course he can foul, but for a teenager, the most important thing for a young player to gain a firm foothold in Manchester City where big names gather is not to be frizzy.

So Boyata hesitated, and then he lost the best opportunity to foul, Hazard broke into the penalty area.

The next thing is very simple, Kompany can only give up the wish to defend Hazard, Hazard pushed lightly, and the wish got the chance to shoot without anyone defending.

He would never miss this kind of opportunity, it happened overnight, 1 to 0!Chelsea took the lead.

"Huh! He scored Chelsea's first goal in an official game of the season, and his form is very good!"

That's right, although everyone doesn't take the Community Shield seriously, it is really a regular game. After all, it has a history of more than 100 years, and there are trophies, which are more or less gold.

So the fans in the stands got excited and shouted the name of the wish.

Mourinho is very satisfied with the team's performance, and being able to finish the attack with such an easy shot is exactly what he is after.

Chelsea's commentator is shouting goals, while Manchester City's commentator is worried about the team, "Chelsea is a bit different from last season, Pellegrini should adjust as soon as possible, the team is too passive if this continues."

There is nothing Pellegrini can do. When he plays a defensive 442, it means that he has been persuaded.

Football games, especially strong-strong dialogues, sometimes the fight is all about momentum, and the head coach shows weakness when he comes up. It's no wonder that the players can play well.

Pellegrini was killed four times by Mourinho last season, and his mentality collapsed early, otherwise he would not have made a foolish move to let Manchester City players defend.

In the next game, neither side played well.

Chelsea has not fully adjusted, the cooperation between the old players and the new aid is still a bit rusty, not at one point.

Manchester City players are a little at a loss, unfamiliar tactics, unfamiliar style of play, and they make more mistakes than Chelsea.

Especially Yaya Toure, who made the most mistakes.

After Côte d'Ivoire was eliminated in the World Cup group stage, he has been busy looking for a home, and he didn't train well at all.

In this game, his enemy made a wish and took the lead in scoring the goal again. Yaya Toure wanted to show himself even more. He did not pass the ball to a teammate in a better position twice in a row, but chose to shoot from a long distance. Outrageous.

After Yaya Toure kicked the ball into the stands for the third time, Pellegrini finally couldn't bear it anymore. He changed his elegant and easy-going image in the past and cursed on the sidelines...
