Chapter 825 The power is like a broken bamboo!

Chapter 837 The momentum is like a broken bamboo!
to be frank!
When the halftime whistle sounded!
Mourinho was greatly relieved!
Because his team only conceded one goal in the first half, a gap of one goal, pay attention to let Chelsea see a chance to equalize or even overtake in the second half! !
Regarding this point, although Mourinho is also somewhat lacking in confidence, at least hope is retained!
The narrator thinks so too.

When the half-time whistle blew, Letkinson said: "The first half is over!! Chelsea is [-]-[-] behind, Manchester City is one goal ahead at home, and the difference of one goal is a catch-up distance for both sides!"

"In the second half of the game, Chelsea still have a chance! Whether Manchester City can win the 24-game winning streak in the league, I am afraid there is still suspense!!"

Even Letkinson doesn't want to see Manchester City continue their winning streak.

Nobody wants to see City win all the time, except City fans.

After all, for the people who eat melons, they always win, especially the aesthetic fatigue!

Now the public opinion in the media has gradually changed from "when will Manchester City end the winning streak" to "when will Manchester City win"!

Some people are getting impatient with Manchester City's constant winning!

When the halftime whistle sounded, the cheers from Etihad were still warm!

But all over England, I don't know how many people, let out a sigh of disappointment!
Manchester City puts too much pressure on other teams!
Inside the visiting locker room!

Mourinho didn't get mad at you for conceding the ball, he showed off his players instead.

"We did a good job in the first half. Although we conceded a goal, the gap of one goal is not irreparable!"

Mourinho said calmly in the locker room.

His face is full of confidence, and he hopes to send the signal to the players that everything is under control.

Of course, just to say this, the players are not fools, even if they fall behind by one goal, they are still falling behind, and the opponent is still a strong team like Manchester City!
Therefore, Mourinho must have a more convincing statement.

"Their goal was no big deal, it was undeniably a very good goal, but... that's it! Apart from that goal, we were no worse than them in the first half! Our defense was rock solid!"

Mourinho said firmly!
Chelsea's players are somewhat incomprehensible.

Why is the beautiful goal just that?
Mourinho immediately gave an explanation.

"Their goal is beautiful, but in the future, can they replicate such a goal?"

Mourinho said firmly.

"This is like a world wave. Playing a world wave already requires some luck, so it is impossible for them to copy it. No one can specifically copy a world wave!!"

Chelsea's players were at the end of the half-time, panting.

Therefore, not many people think deeply about Mourinho's logic.

Yes, Chelsea only conceded one goal, but this cannot conceal the fact that Chelsea were completely passive in the first half!

In the first half of the game, Chelsea didn't even have a decent shot
However, Mourinho has a high prestige at Chelsea, and the players habitually trust the head coach.

On the other side, the home team locker room.

Gao Bo actually regretted that the team failed to expand the score in the first half.

But other than that, he was very satisfied with the team's overall performance in the first half.

The opponent is Chelsea with a very strong defense. It is just a pity that there are no more goals.The point is, Manchester City now has a goal!
What Gao Bo is best at is to use the leading advantage to lead the advantage to victory!

No.20 five consecutive victories!
Gao Bo is bound to win! !
"Everyone did a good job in the first half. We completely took advantage and completely suppressed Chelsea, one of the most powerful teams in the league. This shows our strong strength!!"

Gao Bo praised the players when facing them.

The players also laughed when they heard this sentence.

The coach's appreciation continues to inspire the team's confidence.

"The only problem with the first half, though, was that we didn't score the second goal!!"

Gao Bo asked a question.

"In the second half of the game, we need to continue to pursue goals. As long as we score the second goal, the game will be stable! However, we also need to prevent the opponent from jumping over the wall. At the beginning of the second half of the game, try to be cautious and don't give them an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Gao Bo estimated that in the second half, Chelsea is likely to seize the opportunity of kick-off, attack a wave, and then continue to go back to defend-this is Mourinho's style.

Mourinho has used it with considerable success.

But now, he has gradually fallen behind!
Today's players are different from those of the past.

The current environment is even more different from the previous football environment.

Relying on high discipline and iron defense to build a team that can win the championship by relying on counterattacks is becoming more and more unrealistic-the current environment has made it difficult to cultivate players who are willing to be green leaves and obey orders.

Mourinho's set of tactics cannot be said to be tough, but... With the changes of the times, his set of tactics has already appeared to be somewhat successful.

Gao Bo knew that in the history without him.

Mourinho would win his last Premier League title at Chelsea, and then go on for years without winning a single top-flight trophy.

This is already very good at explaining the problem!

Mourinho's debut was amazing, and he is already going downhill now!

The second half of the game will start soon!
Sure enough, as Gao Bo expected, Mourinho's team did press the attack at the beginning of the second half!
If you want to rush to attack, you will lose your footing against Manchester City!
Gao Bo looked contemptuously at Mourinho who was not far away.

Offense is not just a word of mouth to attack.

A mature offensive routine requires intensive offensive training.

Chelsea must have done a lot of defensive training in order to deal with Manchester City, but the attack.
Mourinho has not long been known as an attacking coach.

His defense often relies on discipline and tenacious will, and he can do well.

But the offense is the same.

Mourinho's offense comes from the personal performance of the players, and from the flashes of some talented players.

Of course, when you have players like this, you can.

Just like when Mourinho was at Inter Milan.

The connection between Milito and Sneijder can indeed create a great threat in the counterattack.

But, in Chelsea!
He no longer has Drogba!
Lampard is old too!

Sneijder. It's not the same Sneijder back then!

Eto'o is not Milito, and Eto'o is not even Eto'o back then!
Generally speaking, professional football is still a very physical sport.

When you are old!
When your physical fitness and your confrontation ability are not enough, no matter how good your skills are, you have to leave this field.

The body is the foundation of this type of exercise!
and so!
When Eto'o took the ball in the penalty area and planned to use his technique to shake the opponent away from the goal.

He was directly carried by Umtiti!
Facing the young and vigorous Umtiti, Eto'o's game experience has no room for such direct head-to-head physical confrontation.

This was also explained by Gao Bo before the game.

Let Umtiti compete with Eto'o in terms of game experience.

Go directly to the physical confrontation, so that he can't hold the ball in the penalty area!

This is Gao Bo's request to Umtiti!

In the first half of the game, Eto'o didn't have many chances to get the ball, so he didn't face Umtiti face to face.

And just now, after Eto'o planned to take the ball, he made a fake move to prepare to fight with his body, and waited for Umtiti to react before looking for a chance to shoot.

But as soon as he got the ball, Umtiti came up directly.

This made the series of tricks that Eto'o thought before useless!

The other party has no intention of fighting wits with you at all!
If he was a few years younger, Eto'o's reaction could be faster, but now, he can only watch the football being stabbed away by Umtiti
"Stolen the ball!! Umtiti broke the ball at Eto'o's feet!!" The commentator shouted!

Umtiti didn't let the football delay at his feet, and directly passed the football to David Silva who came to meet him!
at the same time!

Eto'o sat on the ground, raised his hands, and signaled to the referee that Umtiti had fouled him, but the referee didn't pay any attention to it!

And Mourinho on the sidelines was extremely angry!
He yelled accusations, saying that the referee blacked out a penalty for his team!
Mourinho in battle always thinks he will be targeted by the whole world.
However, the referee ignored Mourinho, and the fourth official came over to talk to Mourinho.

In the end, of course, it was impossible to change the foul.

Moreover, the referee has no time to care about what Mourinho is doing on the sidelines now!
Because Manchester City's counterattack has already started, he must keep up!

Just started!
Manchester City got a sharp counterattack opportunity! !
David Silva puts a long ball and finds Sanchez diagonally!
Sanchez dribbles forward! !

He passed the ball before Ivanovic came up to intercept!

Kolarov who plugged in got the ball!
Kolarov strode forward, and at this time Mikel came to defend! !

"Mikel defends Kolarov Kolarov passes the ball back and Sanchez Sanchez passes Ivanovic!!! He passes!!!"

The narrator shouted! !

at this time! !
Sanchez runs with the ball! !

Terry did not expect that Ivanovic would be so easily broken through.

In fact, Ivanovic's turning speed and reaction speed at this time have dropped a lot compared to his peak period, which is also an important reason why he lost his main position later.

Terry hurried forward to block!
Face Chelsea's captain! !
Sanchez took the ball straight forward and roared past Terry!

A short-distance sprint burst!

This is Sanchez's forte! ! !

"Terry's side is also lost!!!"

Sanchez passed the two and continued to run forward!

Sanchez's dribbling continued to attract the attention of two Chelsea players.

David Luiz and Kante had to make up to prevent Sanchez from dribbling directly into the penalty area and shooting at the goalkeeper - it was suicidal to let the opponent's attack go!

Sanchez did not bottom out, nor did he forcefully cut inside!

David Luiz and Kanter are guarding against his move! !
The Chilean star found the pass between the two and poked the ball in between David Luiz's legs after a bottom feint that shook David Luiz
Griezmann hit the horse! !

This is an attack from the back, so it is absolutely impossible for Griezmann to be offside!
Taking advantage of the gap that Chelsea had pressed heavily just now, there was a little space in the defense, and Manchester City launched a sharp counterattack!

A chance to face the goal directly! !

Griezmann accelerated again after receiving the ball, wading past the last defender in front of the goalkeeper.

Matic's turning speed can't match the speed of Griezmann's waving ball!

at this time!

Cech rushed out! !
Instead of forcing a shot, Griezmann crossed the ball past Cech's feet!

Hazard appeared in front of the door. ,

Facing the empty goal in front of you, why hesitate?
Hazard pushes the ball slowly into the net
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!!! The second goal!!! The second half just started, Manchester City played a very classic fast counterattack!! Such a counterattack can be written into the textbook!! Accurate diagonal long pass, winger and full-back cooperation! The pass in front of the goal! Fast! Sharp!!!"

"Griezmann assisted Hazard and scored a goal, two to zero! They are now two goals ahead of Chelsea!!"

"Griezmann assisted Hazard to score, very, very wonderful and fast counterattack! The tacit understanding, skills, and speed displayed by several Manchester City players during the counterattack are simply amazing!!"

At this time, on the court, Manchester City players hugged and celebrated the goal! !
Manchester City's bench is also full of jubilation.

Many players rushed out of the bench, applauded, waved towels, and shouted in celebration.

And Gao Bo gave his assistant a high-five to celebrate.

The head coach of Manchester City had a smile on his face, looking proud and excited.

As he wished, Chelsea really wanted to attack, but Manchester City seized this opportunity and played a beautiful counterattack after successfully stealing the ball! !
Chelsea came out of the dressing room still full of ambitions, but now they are immediately hit in the head!
Morale has completely plummeted!

And Manchester City's counterattack!

It is like a sharp saber! !
Potential like a broken bamboo! !
fast!
quasi!
ruthless! !
