Manchester City's away game against Chelsea, from the beginning, everyone discovered that Chelsea was on the defensive...

Chelsea, who played at home, actually defended from the beginning of the game

Moreover, they were very tight when defending, and they were completely like... defending their way.

Even commentator Motson and commentator Alan Hansen were very strange - with Chelsea's strength, they shouldn't be so low at home...

"I really suspect that the two teams wore the wrong jerseys... Even if Manchester City has been in a strong position recently, it is not like this, right?" Alan Hansen complained.

"Maybe it was affected by Liverpool's home loss to Manchester City..." Motterson analyzed. "After all, before that, Liverpool was in par with Chelsea in the standings..."

Although it is surprising, the effect is pretty good.

In the whole first half, Rongguang really did not score in the defense of the entire Chelsea team, and even shot only three times, which was much worse than his usual performance in the game.

After the first half, the first half was discussed in the studios of the broadcast stations.

"... Both sides played a dull half-time game, and neither side scored a goal. Manchester City didn't score because Rong Guang, as the core of the team, was basically frozen by Chelsea in this half. Rong is Manchester City's well-deserved core. Once there is a problem here and the operation is not smooth, Manchester City's offense will easily have problems... This first half has proved this. Chelsea did not score because they spent all their energy on defense Rong, and naturally they would not invest much force in offense..."

"Although the scene is quite ugly, the effect is good... But I have a question. Is Chelsea satisfied if they plan to win a draw at home? Although Manchester City beat Liverpool and Aston Villa one after another, objectively helping Chelsea... But Chelsea's current position is still not stable..."

"I think Hiddink should first be on the verge of not losing the ball in the first half. Next is the rest. Maybe Chelsea's tactics will be adjusted in the second half... They should be waiting for an opportunity to attack. In fact, this game forces both sides to be more patient..."

※※※

After analyzing it, after the second half of the game began, I found that Hiddink had no intention of adjusting his tactics, and Chelsea was still defending his life.

It seems that he is determined to defend a draw at home...

"So timid," Alan Hansen said disdainfully.

Because he is afraid of losing, he is so timid. It is completely in line with his football aesthetics. He believes that football is a pure manly sport. Even if he knows he will lose, he should bravely face it and face the opponent head-on.

So he looked down on Hiddink.

But I have to admit that this is quite effective. At least Rongguang has not scored since the beginning of the second half...

Television broadcasts frequently give close-ups to Glory and Hiddink, meaningful.

It seems that Hiddink is trapped in Glory...

If you don't consider the issue of Chelsea winning this game at home... from this point of view, Hiddink is actually doing well.

You should know that the head coaches of many teams rack their brains and think about how to curb glory in the game. In their opinion, glory is Manchester City. As long as they can curb glory, they can curb Manchester City.

Hiddink's tactical approach now may provide you with a new reference and idea...

So in this game, there are actually many coaches of the team who are paying close attention to it.

The coaches who did not have a game at that time were watching the live broadcast. The coaches who had a game at that time could not see the live broadcast of the game at the first time, and would ask their assistants to record the game and wait until they go back before studying it slowly.

Judging from the close-up of the TV, Hiddink's expression has always been calm and calm. On Manchester City, Benitez stood on the side of the court, frowned and looked at the stadium, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the team's delay in scoring.

This scene really made many Manchester City fans sigh - in the first half of the season, Manchester City was able to make Chelsea play at their home court almost without even the power to fight back. Only Rongguang scored a goal to save face for the team, avoiding the embarrassment of the team being shaved by Chelsea.

At that time, Manchester City fans never thought that one day they would beat Chelsea, the second-place Chelsea in the league, and were dissatisfied with not being able to score a goal...

Is this really the Manchester City team last season?

Their team has become so powerful without realizing it

Although the team has not yet been able to win the game, it feels... quite good to just watch them bombard the penalty area under Chelsea.

But... if you can score a goal and win, it would be even more perfect.

※※※

The game is in the 75th minute, and there are still fifteen minutes left before the game ends, and the score is still 00

Chelsea seems to be determined to defend a draw at home.

In Hiddink's view, even if he can't win this game and draw, he still has a point to get, but if he loses the game, he will not even have this point.

To be honest, Hiddink doesn't think his Chelsea can do it. Now, as long as he can hold the second place in the league, it will be a very good result.

It's really not good, and it must be in the top four of the league, although Hiddink believes it's not difficult to stay in the top four of the league.

In this case, a point is also very important.

Under such circumstances, Rongguang received a pass from his teammates at the front of Chelsea's penalty area.

This time, he finally was able to face Chelsea's goal head-on.

But ahead of him were densely packed with people, including Chelsea’s defensive players and Manchester City players.

Everyone was crowded in the penalty area and there was no room for him. Even if he wanted to reuse the same trick, he would score in the same way as he played against Liverpool.

Faced with such a situation, Rongguang only has a long shot, but Chelsea players are very close to him. As long as he swings his feet and shoots, the time to accumulate strength will completely break the football away from his control, enough for Chelsea players to break the football - he has tried long shots before, but under the opponent's close control, his long shots cannot threaten Chelsea's goal.

This time, Chelsea's defense is still very tight, and it can be regarded as "unwind".

Chelsea have a tradition of good defense, and they are stress-free when adopting such extreme defensive tactics in this game.

When Rong Guang was not under his feet, he was a little anxious because there was not much time left in the game, and he had not scored a goal and the team did not take the lead, so there was no hope of winning.

He hopes to beat Chelsea away because his goal is to qualify for the Champions League in the top four in the league.

Because Manchester City owes too much debt in the first half of the season, even if they are chasing all the way, they are still in the seventh place, and there is still a 10-point gap from the top four of the league. If you want to have ten rounds left... if this game is not counted, there will be only nine rounds of the league. To catch up with this 10-point gap in these nine rounds of the league, the victory of each game is very important.

Especially when directly talking to the top four teams in the league, it was a victory, which was a win of six points.

So this game must be won. No matter what difficulties he encounters... it is not a reason to watch the three-point become one point and be indifferent.

When there was no ball under his feet, Glory seemed anxious, but once the ball fell to his feet, he calmed down.

His brain is running at high speed, thinking about solutions.

And it was very short time for her to think about countermeasures, and it might not take two or three seconds, and maybe he would come up with a plan within one second.

He also knew very well what was going on in front of him now.

Without time and space, the two most important elements in football games are gone under his current situation.

So how to break the deadlock?

Just kick or turn the football back?

None of these are what Glory wants.

He looked at the densely packed people in the penalty area and suddenly thought that this was just a wall of people?

It is the wall of the free kick, but there is only one wall of that kind. Now there are many walls of Taoist people in the penalty area. While blocking their shots, they also block the Chelsea goalkeeper's sight.

If you play this ball like a free kick, can you bypass the "human wall" in these penalty areas and let the football fly into the goal...

The only problem now is that the free kick seems to be running, and he doesn't want to assist now, he may be able to break the football under his feet...

So he must shoot the football out at the fastest speed before the opponent reacts...

Rongguang thought that he happened to be practicing free kicks on the penalty area line recently.

At that distance, with his foot strength, there is no need to run up, so he almost always kicks on the spot during practice. At the same time, in order to control the speed, height and the arc of the football, his legs will not swing too much. It mainly depends on the strength of his calves, and this alone is enough.

A bold idea came to his mind - can I use the method of kicking a free kick to deal with the situation I am currently facing?

This idea is very bold because no one has tried it before, and Rongguang himself hasn't tried it himself, so I don't know if it will succeed.

However, even if the current situation fails, there will be no worse results.

Then why not try it?

As soon as this idea pops up, it is difficult to suppress. Rongguang must try it. He personally likes this kind of challenge very much.

Rong Guang's heart has been twisted and turned, but in fact only one second has passed.
