At the Etihad Stadium where the mountains and tsunamis are thundering, the battle of the King of Heaven in the Premier League has officially begun.

Perhaps it is because Manchester City has been in too strong momentum in recent times, or perhaps it is because Mourinho himself is not a coach who likes to attack, and the game fell into a tone from the beginning.

That is, Manchester City has completely controlled the ball and began to attack Chelsea's defensive position.

In this kind of scene, Mourinho seemed relatively calm, which was the rhythm of the game he was very accustomed to.

But Chelsea has not found a better counterattack line yet. In fact, Mourinho has buried the counterattack players, whether it is Hazard, William or Diego Costa, they are experts in counterattacking. If Chelsea gets the opportunity, Manchester City's defense will be very uncomfortable.

Of course, Manchester City is the more advantageous side.

Pellegrini seemed to have made Chelsea's tactics clear, so he sent Dzeko and Aguero to attack.

With all the two forwards in the market, Manchester City's offensive is naturally very fierce.

In the fourth minute of the game, after Xu Qi and Yaya Toure completed the cooperation in the middle, Yaya Toure divided the sides to David Silva on the right.

David Silva decisively used his exquisite footwork to send the ball into the penalty area.

Dzeko jumped high and almost pushed the ball into the net.

However, the goal post at Etihad seemed to be not very proud and blocked the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Manchester City continued to siege Chelsea's goal.

It was not until the sixteen minutes before the game was played that Chelsea really used the counterattack to create a good opportunity.

After intercepting the ball in the backcourt, they passed the ball to Diego Costa.

Diego Costa forced the ball and passed it directly to Hazard on the left.

Hazard, who was extremely fast, dribbled the ball and advanced quickly, and directly passed Sanya and rushed into the penalty area.

However, Sarnia's pursuit was quite fast, so Hazard could only reduce the speed, and then took advantage of Sarnia's time to slow down and a kickback passed Sarnia.

Then he directly raised his feet and passed to the right road.

The ball was passed just right, just in front of William who was unguarded.

Unfortunately, William followed up with a powerful shot and missed it, and Manchester City escaped.

Xu Qi glanced at William from a distance and said to himself: "This guy is still like before, he is a little panicked when shooting."

As William's old teammate, Xu Qi also knows William very well, and his shooting attributes need to be improved.

So when Xu Qi saw that William was following him, he felt a little relieved, feeling that William would not be able to kick in.

Sure enough, he really didn't kick in.

Mourinho on the sidelines was naturally very angry when he saw William not making the ball and cursed on his territory.

On the bench, Xuerle and others were looking forward to getting a chance to play.

However, although Chelsea did not score in this goal, it also gave Manchester City a great warning, making them dare not siege unscrupulously.

Chelsea's counterattack efficiency is too high, and it almost got it in just one opportunity.

Manchester City has been besieging for so long, and Dzeko's header is just a threat.

In this way, Manchester City has no advantage in offensive efficiency.

It seems that they have control over the ball, but it is still hard to say who wins and who loses.

"Sure enough, this is Mourinho's way of playing. Although Chelsea is a bit ugly on the scene, it still has a very good counterattack opportunity, especially for teams like Manchester City with more fierce offensives. The loopholes in the defense may be greater than some teams ranked lower in the Premier League." Liu Jiayuan gave some small summary of the content of the game for more than ten minutes.

In his opinion, the content of this game is still very rich.

From the content of these ten minutes, we can see that this is definitely a collision of two different techniques and tactics.

Moreover, the technical content of this game is also top in the Premier League.

After all, it is a direct dialogue between two teams with four consecutive victories.

The two teams are split equally, which may determine the ownership of the Premier League champion this season.

"Thanks to you just now, otherwise we would be behind." Seeing his old teammate William walking past him, Xu Qi laughed and teased.

Of course, although the two are old teammates, they are enemies on the court.

Therefore, Xu Qi said this not just a joke, he wanted to influence William's mentality as much as possible and make his performance even more abnormal.

William glanced at Xu Qi without replying.

He also knew that there was nothing good about Xu Qi, this guy, getting close to him on the court.

Seeing that William was so vigilant to him, Xu Qi smiled slightly and then retreated.

William appeared on the right side of Chelsea in this game, just in time to face Xu Qi, who appeared on the left side of Manchester City. The two of them had to confront each other many times in this game.

Because Chelsea's counterattack made Manchester City a little afraid, Manchester City's offensive was not as fierce as the first start.

After getting the ball, Xu Qi never got a better chance to break through, so he continued to hand it over to his teammates to organize the offense at a slower pace after getting the ball.

Their two full-backs dare not push too far. After all, Hazard and William both have quite fast speeds, and if they are not careful, these two full-backs may be overtaken.

The two full-backs, Kolarov and Sabaretta, will inevitably face a huge test today.

Especially Sabaleta, guarding the right side.

While defending Hazard with his close body, he had to put Hazard down from behind because he was overwhelmed by Hazard, and received a yellow card in twenty minutes.

This has also become a hidden danger for Manchester City in this game. After all, he still has to continue to bear the pressure brought by Hazard's rapid breakthrough.

Compared with Kolarov, with Xu Qi's assistance, he was not particularly struggling.

Of course, the two major central defenders Kompany and Mangala are under a lot of pressure, and Diego Costa is notoriously difficult to deal with.

As soon as I came to the Premier League, many people suffered a lot after the Premier League.

Xu Qi had a deep impression of Diego Costa because during Xu Qi's time at Valencia, he played against Atletico Madrid.

At that time, Diego Costa got the opportunity to play because of Aguero's injury. He was not the main player at Atletico. After Aguero left Atletico, Diego Costa did not take the lead, and Atletico introduced Falcao.

It was not until Falcao left that Diego Costa truly became Atletico Madrid's forward player.

I have to say that Xu Qi and Atletico Madrid's forward are also very destined to be together.

Aguero, Falcao and him have both been teammates.

And Diego Costa and former Torres and Xu Qi have also fought.

Speaking of Torres, Xu Qi had a fight last season, but he is no longer at Chelsea this season.

Because his performance was difficult to satisfy Mourinho, Chelsea loaned Torres to the "care home" AC Milan.

The first half of the game has reached the final stage, and the score has not changed.
Chapter completed!
