Chapter 529 You still want to attack?
Since Chelsea and Manchester City participated in the Carabao Cup final, their 29th round of the league was scheduled to be the last game.
On March 3, before Chelsea arrived at the Etihad Stadium, the remaining nine games had all been decided.
其中，热刺主场2：0轻取哈德斯菲尔德，利物浦同样2：0击败纽卡斯尔联，曼联则在客场3:2逆转了水晶宫。
Only Arsenal continued to fall behind. They were defeated by "Seagull" Brighton 2:1, and they were one step away from the fourth...
At 4:30 in the afternoon, everyone was waiting in the player tunnel to enter the field.
Lee Polo glanced at the home team's lineup.
The goalkeeper was replaced by Ederson, Walker also returned to the right back position, and Zinchenko served on the left.
In the choice of central defender, Guardiola gave up Otamendi and Laporte, who had been toyed by Li Polo wantonly to the point of collapse, and let the old captain Kompany partner with local international Stones.
Gua Shuai gave up Fernandinho, the only midfielder, and chose De Bruyne, David Silva, and Gundogan to form the midfield.
As for the forward line, Aguero is in the center, and Sane and Bernardo Silva are separated on the left and right.
From 4231 in the League Cup final to today's 433, Guardiola has obviously made a new change in his tactics.
After suffering a miserable 3:7 defeat, not only did he not strengthen the defense, but further weakened the interception power of the midfielder, and instead strengthened the offensive ability of the frontcourt!
He still wants to play pass control football!
Li Polo couldn't help giving Guardiola a thumbs up.
[Stick to your own football philosophy, he is indeed the No.1 handsome player in football history! 】
[If you set up a bus like Mourinho, I will definitely look down on you! 】
-
"This is the second confrontation between the two sides after three days. It can be seen that both Conte and Guardiola have made considerable adjustments to the starting lineup."
Zhan Jun compared the lineups of the two sides:
"But the 433 lineup that Guardiola has arranged is a bit weak on the defensive end?
Although Gundogan has a certain defensive interception ability, if compared with Kanter, it is obviously not at the same level, and Silva and De Bruyne obviously cannot provide too much defensive contribution..."
Zhang Lu agreed with his analysis:
"Guardiola's tactical choices sometimes really surprise people.
This 433 formation seems to want to stick to their own tactics and use offense instead of defense! "
Zhan Jun's eyes fell on the visiting team's lineup again:
"Chelsea has adjusted two positions on the front line. Both Remy and Pedro are no longer at their peak, especially in terms of dribbling breakthroughs. Compared with Hazard and Willian, they are at least two grades behind. It can all fall on the shoulders of Li Polo alone. But... Fabregas, who called Li Polo the most, missed the game due to injury, and who can deliver the shells to him has become another problem..."
Zhang Lu spread his shoulders:
"It can't be helped. Both sides are fighting continuously, and it's a fierce final. The players are seriously lacking in physical fitness. I'm afraid that iron men like Lee Polo and Kanter are gritting their teeth to compete today, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Polo chasing De Bruyne, who was in possession of the ball, for more than 20 meters like an excited bull, and then a precise sliding tackle destroyed Tintin's advance.
De Bruyne, who was stuck in the grass, patted the ground regretfully, and got up panting heavily.
As we all know, he is not a player known for his physical fitness. Only when he maintains sufficient physical fitness can he fully utilize his dribbling and passing abilities.
Once there is a problem with his physical fitness, his control over passing accuracy will plummet!
Therefore, the goal must be scored as soon as possible, otherwise once the game is deadlocked, he can only become a burden to Manchester City because of lack of physical fitness! -
Chelsea's lineup looks like 343, but when defending, it turns into 541.
The 1 at the top is not Li Polo, but Remy.
Lee Polo will retreat deep into the midfield position, and take on the task of interception and sweeping with Kanter.
After playing professional football for so many years, Li Polo has become a super striker who can score goals, but he still misses his youthful years when he was able to kill all sides in the defense.
So there is no need for Conte to make special arrangements. After he joined Chelsea, he has been actively withdrawing and participating in the press in the game.
This is also an important reason why Hazard quickly gave up competing with him for the status of the locker room.
After all, after Li Polo retreated to defend, the tasks on Hazard's shoulders were greatly reduced. He only needed to concentrate on the offense!
What dissatisfaction does Hazard have with letting a Golden Globe winner and World Footballer willingly do the dirty work behind him?
Hazard, who was sitting on the bench watching the game, leaned back on his seat contentedly.
At this moment, he is like Vegeta watching the decisive battle between Kakarot and Majin Buu...
Seeing Li Polo, who was speeding through Manchester City's midfield and backcourt, Hazard silently expressed his appreciation:
"Come on, Li Polo, you are the strongest!"
-
Due to Remy and Pedro's lack of sufficient breakthrough ability with the ball, Chelsea's offensive methods had to rely more on Li Polo.
This also led to Manchester City's defensive focus being very clear:
The two central defenders, Kompany and Stones, kept within three meters of Li Polo at all times. Once he had the tendency to catch the ball, he could immediately close the door and beat the dog!
In the 7th minute, Alonso sent a cross from the left, and Kompany immediately blocked Li Polo's butt from behind, preventing him from facing the goal.
Li Poluo leaned back hard, but found that Captain Kong's lower body was very stable, and he couldn't squeeze out space under this leaning.
Seeing that the football had already flown overhead, Li Polo no longer hesitated, and directly jumped up on the spot, and headed the ball towards the goal with the back of his head!
"A header shot from the back of the head?"
Kompany, who watched this scene at the closest distance, was dumbfounded!
The header was sudden enough that Edson didn't expect it at all, but Li Polo was a bit unlucky. The football he pushed out flew to Edson's chest impartially and was caught by the Brazilian goalkeeper. Subconsciously reached out and hugged!
Edson, whose heart was beating wildly, had no time to calm down, so he threw the ball with one hand and launched a counterattack.
Walker strode away from Pedro on the right, and then he caught up with the football, crossed the halfway line, and killed Alonso in one breath.
Alonso, who is tall and long-legged, is not a wing back known for his speed, but Walker, who he needs to defend, can almost be called an English professional track and field player!
Just one of the simplest explosions, Walker penetrated Alonso's defense zone!
Alonso was not unresponsive, he even hit Walker with his shoulder, but the muscular Walker was as unstoppable as a heavy tank!
Alonso's impact could only slow him down a little, and he rushed out at full speed in the next second!
Fortunately, Rudiger, who replaced Cahill as the left central defender, reacted quickly, appeared in Walker's only way in time, and kicked the ball before the opponent chased the football!
Rudiger's siege was completely fired into the sky, seeing the height but not the distance, but just after flying over the middle circle, he fell back to the ground.
Manchester City only left Gundogan in the middle, while Chelsea had Li Polo and Kanter.
Of course, you can't count on Kanter to compete for high-altitude balls, but Gundogan, who is only 1.8 meters zero, is not Lee Polo's opponent at all!
Li Polo blocked the position with a lunge, then overwhelmed Gundogan to grab the landing point, and slid the ball to Pedro on the left.
The one who was supposed to defend this area...wasn't it Walker?
The small Walker tank is still more than 30 meters away!
The Saber drove the ball forward without pressure, and Stones had to leave the middle to make up for it, but before he got close, the Saber sent a cross!
Remy, who outflanked from the right, broke into the penalty area!
Kompany shoveled directly, trying to turn himself into a great wall of steel in front of the goal!
Although Captain Kong wanted to block the hole of the gun, Remy dunked the ball back, and then gently pushed it to the left rear!
Kompany, who was still shoveling on the line of the small penalty area, was dumbfounded!
Edson, who had already rushed to the near post, was struck by lightning!
Li Boluo, who was fighting for the high-altitude ball with Gundogan three seconds ago, has already appeared at the top of the arc in the penalty area...
Stones is on the left, Kompany is on the right, and Ederson has also lost his position. The No. 1 player of the Blues has time to adjust his pace and easily volley against the pass sent by Remy!
He didn't choose to shoot, because he was worried that some high-tech mechanism was set up on the turf in front of the home team's goal, and a lump of soil might suddenly push the ball up...
Keep the football off the ground to avoid such accidents!
"Whoosh!"
Edson, who had already fallen on the goal line, could only watch helplessly as the football flew into the half-empty goal!
1: 0!
Chelsea opened the scoring in the 11th minute!
