Soccer Dreams Set Sail

Chapter 37 Against Chelsea
Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home ground, and Manchester City's first Premier League trip today.

The two sides played one after another after warming up. Chelsea's players were mediocre, and Manchester City's young lads were more or less excited.

The game started and Manchester City kicked off first.

After Manchester City kicked off, the ball passed to Lu Seedorf in the middle. The controller of Manchester City did not choose to pass the ball forward, but passed back to the defender.

At the same time, the signal given is to stabilize first and not rush to attack.

Chelsea is still playing 442 today, so there are only two forwards running around slowly in front.

Manchester City began to show off their fast passing, basically two-footed ball, from the defender to the foot of winger Roberto Baggio in a few seconds, as a person who has played for many years, Baggio's ability to read the game is too strong.

He started suddenly. The rhythm of the game was slow and slow, but it was pulled up quickly. Roberto Baggio rushed along the wing. Chelsea could not let it go. But for Baggio, it is not necessarily useless to go one or two.

And the order given by Chelsea's bishop is to follow Roberto Baggio and not take the initiative to grab, but at the same time he has to interfere with Baggio.

When Messia was in the League One, although he used the side cut, he used it occasionally, and now Messia has finally sent a big killer.

Robert Baggio suddenly changed direction and slashed diagonally towards the penalty area in the middle, which completely disrupted Chelsea's defense.

It is definitely not possible not to go up to defend Roberto Baggio, but if one goes up, the entire defensive system has a loophole, and there is no way to go up to defend.

Robert Baggio's inside cut, Litmanen came up to respond, Ronaldo and Henry were involved in running positions, and Chelsea's penalty area was chaotic.

After Baggio attracted two defenders, he decisively played the ball to Litmanen. Litmanen played the ball to Henry who had already opened up the position. Henry took the ball and took two steps. After attracting the defense, a very fast The ground ball was passed to Ronaldo who had been completely empty, and Ronaldo tricked the goalkeeper into scoring.

The time is the 8th minute of the game, the score is 0:1.

Messiah's first step is done, because they know too little about Messia's team, even if they read all the League One last season, they still don't understand.

In the League One, Messia mainly relies on the player's own ability, coupled with cooperation, he rarely uses some threatening tactics, just to wait for the Premier League to use again.

Messia understands that after this year, it is no longer a new thing for wingers to cut inside, so something must be achieved this year.

Although Manchester City scored a goal, Chelsea did not feel too much frustration, but all of them were full of fighting spirit.

Chelsea kicked off, this time they didn't take the time to test, and immediately started to attack.

The way Messiah responded was to press the whole court, play defense, and kill Chelsea's will to fight.

Manchester City's sudden rush up disrupted Chelsea's coach's arrangement. After Manchester City stole the ball, it was passed directly to Seedorf. Seedorf started to backcourt, bringing Chelsea, who was just about to speed up, into Manchester City's mode.

The head coach of Chelsea kept walking around, and now there are only two options before him, one is to increase his speed and learn from Manchester City, and carry out a full-court press, but they have not practiced this, so they dare not.

The other is more than patience, slowing down the rhythm, making people uncomfortable, and as a young player of Manchester City, he does not believe that they can always maintain their current state.

It's just that if you do this, it's a bit passive and sabotage. I'm afraid it will provoke the referee, and the scene is also ugly. It's hard to say whether the fans will do anything.

As worthy of being the champion coach of last season, Mecia didn't know this. He didn't expect that someone could be more shameless than him in order to win.
