Li Kang felt his brain was empty.

He stood there愣 for a few seconds.

The Yin shadow energy was so easily depleted by the bald-headed David module and the Morata connection?

"Li, how was my passing timing?"

Morata had already rushed over, hugging him excitedly.

In this year, Eastern Xuanhuan fantasy had already swept Europe.

Before sending out the assist, he vaguely saw a curly-haired figure gesturing and directing the direction of the chip pass.

Could it be that he had obtained a grandfather figure?

In the away stands, the Chelsea fans who had traveled with the team cheered to their hearts' content.

Next to the goalpost.

Ederson, who was in a 'high-speed growth period,' looked茫然, inwardly conflicted: Was he not yet adapted to the Premier League?

After reviewing the defensive process, Kompany quickly raised his hand to apologize to his teammates: If he were a little笨一点, and didn't think so much, would he have been牵制 by Li in the side肋 space! He should have cleared the ball during the 3v2!

David Silva agreed: Even during his peak, his performance in虐菜 games was unstable, and ordinary center-backs wouldn't think so much.

The ball was placed back on the center circle.

The game restarted.

Aguero passed the ball back to Fernandinho.

Chelsea's frontcourt launched a high-pressure press.

They didn't adopt a low-block defensive龟缩 posture after taking the lead.

Tuchel had the players expend their energy during this period to disrupt Manchester City's passing and advance.

Some say: The essence of soccer is a turn-based game, with the initiative in the attacking turn, and the counter-attack in the defending turn. Different styles of coaches and players fill this turn-based game with countless variables.

The ball was repeatedly pushed back into Manchester City's half.

Manchester City wasn't in a hurry, and the pressure on passing in their own half was greatly reduced because Morata was "gentler" than Diego Costa.

Guardiola gesticulated wildly, trying to get the entire formation to move forward.

Like this, like that, and then like that… The local attacking group attracted a large number of interceptions on the strong side, and then David Silva or De Bruyne, with their excellent footwork, would switch the play, long-passing to the weak side for a错位 attack.

Time ticked by.

Manchester City executed two complete attacking chains, but the killer pass was either headed away by Cahill or blocked by Azpilicueta.

After disrupting several of the opponent's 'incomplete attacking chains,' Chelsea's defensive line also failed to seize the counter-attacking opportunity.

Because goalkeeper Caballero couldn't shoulder the responsibility of being a 'direct ball-playing point in the backfield.' If he insisted on fulfilling the tactical requirement, he would have to step out of the penalty area and stand parallel with David Luiz and others to ensure the accuracy of his long passes.

Therefore.

Chelsea's backfield passing system seemed to have regressed to the Hiddink era, unable to seize the opportunity for transition attacks, having to turn and guide and导 before the center-backs took charge of playing the ball out.

It wasn't bad.

It just seemed too passive among the top teams of this season.

Clubs weren't national teams.

Among the powerhouses, whoever lagged behind, whoever had a weakness, would suffer.

"David Luiz's back pass… passed to Stones?"

"Ah! Chelsea's backfield passing during the transition attack is too slow, giving Manchester City plenty of time to complete their positioning."

"The attack is initiated by the goalkeeper…"

Livestream.

-

[What does a goalkeeper have to do with the team's attack?]

-

[Here, it's talking about 'killing the opponent's attack near the penalty area and our side getting a safe ball-playing environment, with the goalkeeper becoming the starting point for the transition attack.' The probability of the prerequisite appearing in the game is high, and the subsequent result requires more from the goalkeeper's attack.]

-

[Before the 2017/18 season, you could see many powerhouses pursuing this in their warm-up matches. Chelsea spent 250 million to buy Li Mingdeng, but the goalkeeper went on strike.]

-

[Wasn't Cech also the same for Arsenal's "Treble" last season?]

-

[Don't talk nonsense, Cech's special skill – super hand pass – can break the tactical need for a goalkeeper to play the ball… Besides, his footwork isn't bad either.]

-

[The development of the tactical framework is stagnant, but the development of tactical details is too fast.]

-

[It's not that the development is fast. Someone proposed as early as the 1970s: "The goalkeeper is the starting point of the attack."]

The 69th minute of the match.

Manchester City made substitutions.

"Very rare!"

"Guardiola has made two substitutions in a row!"

"Gündoğan, replacing Fernandinho!"

"Bernardo Silva, replacing Jesus!"

"It's not giving up on defense, it's because Chelsea's defensive line can't guarantee the rhythm of the transition attack, so the Sky Blues are fine-tuning the resource weighting."

Duan Xuan wasn't wrong.

Gündoğan in this period of history didn't have Fernandinho's defensive toughness, but his attacking attributes were stronger.

He was suffering from spondylolisthesis.

He entered his second "transformation growth period."

His nicknames were "Manchester City混子," "Guardiola's 親 son," and "Always making forward runs, not as useful as Yaya Touré."

During this period, Eastern fans didn't like him very much: because this guy was always flirting with 272, and the two Turkish-German descendants were even preparing to participate in Turkish elections together, almost writing '******' on their faces.

Fortunately, Manchester City repeatedly warned him: Focus on soccer, don't shoot straight.

Pa pa!

Tuchel crushed the water bottle.

It was coming.

The opponent was making a 'resource weighting adjustment' at this juncture.

The Chelsea coach didn't let Cech take off his suit, but gestured to have Fabregas drop back to the defensive line.

A fallback change.

It would be fine against other teams.

Against teams like Guardiola's Manchester City and Barcelona's Barça, Chelsea's backfield passing system determined the quality of their transition attacks.

Regardless of winning or losing.

To become a top team, you have to have the requirements of a top team.

The game resumed.

Manchester City's midfield advanced evenly.

Five midfielders with一流 footwork, while spreading out the attacking width, also executed a series of beautiful local vertical runs and passes to avoid the opponent's绞杀 and confrontation.

And there was also Kyle Walker, who was active on the right flank.

"Li Kang disrupted Gündoğan's advance."

"The ball lost control."

"Stones pressed very deep, passing the ball to B Silva before Kante could intercept!"

"Oh no, B Silva didn't get past Rüdiger. It seems he hasn't fully adapted to Manchester City's system yet, squeezing De Bruyne's run. Guardiola is furious on the sidelines!"

"Thank goodness!"

"Rüdiger's clearance didn't kick the ball out of bounds! Walker scrambled back possession. Manchester City regained possession!"

Li Kang tried to retreat to the defensive line.

But he saw Tuchel and Dino gesticulating wildly, frantically stopping him.

"Chelsea didn't spend 250 million to buy a laborer!"

"Once you've completed your midfield and backfield interception task, hurry back to your position!"

"If the opponent isn't attacking your defensive area, don't run around! You're not a flying Superman!"

"You need to be a midfield passing point and support point for the transition attack, don't drop too far back."

"If you also drop back, then Chelsea will lose the threat of their transition attack."

Full defense and partial defense, neither is right nor wrong.

The allocation of resource weights in the team during the game often has no right or wrong, it just depends on what kind of role you play in the team.

It had nothing to do with experience.

It had nothing to do with soccer IQ.

Tuchel's voice was instantly drowned out by the cheers of the Sky Blue fans.

For some reason.

The Chelsea coach found that even when his controlling impulses acted up, his tone was much gentler.

Gradually.

As Manchester City launched an offensive, the cheers of the Sky Blue fans grew louder and louder!

Dino leaned close to his ear and shouted, "Boss, didn't you say before the game that everyone had to fully participate in the defense?"

The 74th minute of the match.

Manchester City's attack was fruitless. Gündoğan reorganized outside the penalty area.

The ball was quickly passed around.

David Silva and B Silva slipped through Chelsea's left and right wing-back areas.

The outside of the Blues' defense tightened, and the middle loosened.

Any defense will have flaws. Manchester City was very good at exploiting flaws, and Chelsea was very good at patching them up.

Pa!

Gündoğan sent a ground pass with the outside of his foot!

The arc was very small.

It looked more like a through ball.

Inside the penalty area, Aguero leaned on Cahill with his back to the goal, and raised his right foot to touch the ball with the outside of his foot as well.

"Perfect layoff!"

"Unpredictable through balls and layoff cannons!"

Pa!

Two irregular arcs disrupted Chelsea's defense.

De Bruyne appeared at the end of the second trajectory. Aguero had already set up the cannon, and De Bruyne was about to reproduce his long-range shot posture at the Etihad Stadium!

Pa!

A 蓬蓬 head covered the Manchester City core's vision.

De Bruyne only felt the strong smell of hairspray...coming at him.

"David Luiz defused the danger!"

"He seems to be saying: Chelsea's defense isn't that easy to shake!"

"They only have ball-playing problems, not defensive problems!"

David Luiz didn't clear the ball directly!

His attacking desire was very strong.

If there was a passing opportunity, he wouldn't clear the ball!

Pa!

With a 插花脚 push!

The ball rolled to Fabregas on the left parallel position!

That's right, it was Fabregas, who had been called to the defensive line by Tuchel!

It was an instruction to temporarily solve the problem of playing the ball out of the backfield!

Except for De Bruyne and Sane, all of Manchester City's attacking players had penetrated into Chelsea's penalty area.

Fabregas burst out.

He made a long-passing posture in an undisturbed position on the edge of the penalty area.

Bang!

The ball was like a cannonball.

It crossed the entire half.

From the edge of the penalty area to the opponent's half-court center circle arc!

"A streak of sunshine piercing through the clouds!"

"A 47-yard counter-attack guidance missile!"

"Pedro and Hazard have both crossed the center circle!"

Kompany, Otamendi, and Stones quickly folded back to defend.

Pa!

The moment the ball landed, it deflected to the right!

Pedro, who was running, controlled the ball and continued to run.

He felt like he was a little younger.

Even after playing for more than 70 minutes, he still had the energy!

"Manchester City isn't panicking!"

"Not a big threat."

"Ederson's positioning is very good, his coverage is too large!"

"He can completely cooperate with Otamendi to defuse this attack!"

"As expected."

"Pedro, who has lost his sprinting space, can only slow down and pass the ball back… In this way, Manchester City's other players have plenty of time… Wow!"

Li Kang appeared in the lens.

Several Manchester City defending players were following behind him.

He adjusted his direction and faced Pedro's pass sideways.

Bang!

The moment the ball touched his right foot, it seemed to be given life.

It lifted off the ground!

Spinning towards the right front!

"Thunder in silence!"

"Li Kang's arrival was too timely!"

"A one-touch transfer!"

"Unbelievable."

"A beautiful arc cutting through the Etihad night sky."

"Another cruise missile."

"Hazard!"

"One-on-one!"

Tuchel stood there愣, gazing痴痴 at the falling ball.

Satisfied.

His tactical ideals were fulfilled at this moment.

Li is the most perfect forward support point in my transition attack.

On the other side.

Guardiola looked a little沮丧.

The 后置 Fabregas and the 前置 Li could easily change the direction of the attack in a large space, using top-level guided long passes.

Hazard was very selfless.

Even though he had a good shooting opportunity, he wanted to give it to a teammate with a better shooting environment.

Here it comes.

Morata, who was sprinting over to support, exuded a heroic and majestic light!

Hazard chose to shoot himself.

Bang!

The ball once again rippled Manchester City's net.

Ederson lay on the grass, his fingertips slightly numb, wanting to cry without tears.

1:3!!!

The home stands were silent.

The Chelsea young fans who had traveled with the team seemed to have turned the Etihad into Stamford Bridge.

"Another goal!"

"Hazard!"

"Chelsea, who seemed to be behind on the field, are now leading by two goals!"

"Two beautiful dark blue arcs! Amazing Britain!"

"Li Kang's assist!"

"Chelsea's 250 million has created three goals in this strong match!"

Livestream.

-

[A master's demeanor!]

-

[Chelsea: I'm just slow in playing the ball out of the back, not bad at defending!]

-

[I just wanted to criticize Li Mingdeng's defense for not being deep enough and not being active enough.]

-

[After Manchester City brought on Gündoğan and B Silva, their ground attack was very good. The coaching staff probably thought that their defensive line's positioning speed was much better than Chelsea's ball-playing speed in the transition attack, so they took off Fernandinho. They didn't expect Tuchel to have Fabregas drop back, and also leave a Li Mingdeng in the front to become a transition node.]

-

[Like this, like that, and then like that, Li Mingdeng is awesome!]

Chelsea's celebration was at the coaching bench.

Tuchel was overwhelmed by the flying disciples.

"Quick, get the tactical board over here!"

"I want all of Europe to know that I'm the head coach who knows how to use Li the best!"

He didn't say the second sentence out loud, he just muttered it in his heart.

The stubborn Tuchel didn't think he would say such a second-grade sentence.

Dino seized the opportunity to peel a banana and forcefully shove the banana meat into Li Kang's mouth.

A moment later.

A surprising scene for the audience occurred.

Chelsea, who were leading by two goals, actually unfolded a large tactical board in the command area. The coaching staff and players were constantly talking to each other, as if the team was two goals behind.

Guardiola couldn't help but want to go forward to communicate, but was tightly held back by Arteta.

In the following game.

Chelsea played very "pragmatically."

Manchester City, who were two goals behind, still insisted on high pressing.

"This game may be the epitome of the 2017/18 Premier League season."

"The coaching staff of other Premier League clubs should be very busy at the moment. They are probably surrounding the large screen in the conference room, quickly analyzing the weaknesses of Chelsea and Manchester City."

"As viewers, we are happy!"

"Penalty?"

"Oh no, it's a fake fall! The referee pulled out a yellow card for Pedro!"

"From the slow-motion replay, it is indeed a dive!"

"…"

"Aguero and David Luiz have clashed!"

"…Why is Fabregas getting a yellow card? Slow-motion replay, oh! From this angle, he趁乱 gave someone a cheap shot again!"

Finally.

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Manchester City 2:4 Chelsea!
