The biggest fanatic in football

Chapter 677 The strongest defense in the Premier League!

The most watched "Double Blue Club" has not even started yet, and off-site news is already flying all over the sky.

This time the news did not come from within England, but from distant Spain.

According to the famous Spanish tabloid "As", the Real Madrid club has reached an agreement with Hazard's agent. The Belgian football king will transfer to the Galacticos next summer window. Real Madrid will pay Chelsea a transfer fee of more than 160 million euros.

Or use Kovacic + 120 million euros to trade...

The media also revealed that a month ago, Hazard personally admitted that joining Real Madrid was a dream he had had since childhood, a true "son's dream"!

But he also promised that he is a professional player and has had a great time playing for Chelsea in the past few years, so he does not want to leave in a farce.

In other words, he does not want to force the club to agree to release him through strikes, strikes and other disgraceful methods.

Compared with Chelsea in history, the current Blues are very confident.

Chelsea executives expressed their understanding of Hazard's dream and promised:

"As long as the other party can come up with a suitable price, we are willing to let him go!"

-

After three days of intense preparations, the time finally came on the afternoon of December 9th.

"Since both teams participated in the League Cup match in mid-week, their current physical condition is not the best. This will need to test the depth of both sides' benches and the coach's formation ability!"

There is still a little time before the start of the game, and Zhan Jun is doing the pre-game introduction session.

Zhang Luze hit the point with his words:

"If Manchester City can win Chelsea today, then there will still be suspense in the league this season, but if they lose or draw, then it will be difficult for any team in the Premier League to hinder Chelsea's winning streak..."

What he said is also true.

After the first 15 rounds, Chelsea scored 45 points with a complete victory, while Manchester City, which ranked second, only had 36 points, a difference of 9 points. If this direct dialogue cannot narrow the points difference, then with Chelsea's

Stability, the score difference will only get bigger and bigger in the future...

Unless there is a large-scale injury wave in the Chelsea team, the Blues with Lee Polo will only continue to sing triumphant songs! -

"Dip~~~"

Martin Atkinson, England's current number one golden whistler, blew the whistle to start the game.

Lipolo, Hazard, Fabregas, Kante and others who had been sitting on the bench for two games finally appeared in the starting position. Everyone showed unprecedented positivity and enthusiasm. Manchester City

As soon as the ball kicked off, they collectively launched a pressing attack.

But the defenders, who had just finished playing in the League Cup three days ago, were a little tired.

The frontcourt players were too excited, but the backcourt players were a little undermotivated, and there was an obvious gap between the frontcourt and the backcourt.

If we encounter players like De Bruyne again, Seat D or Seat B, Chelsea may be in huge trouble!

But the good news is...De Bruyne was injured before entering the Devils schedule. This game can only be watched on TV while lying on the sofa at home...

Seeing Sterling and Mahrez turning such a huge gap in Chelsea's formation into nothing, Ding Ding was so angry that he wanted to smash the TV!

On the one hand, Manchester City's frontcourt still pursues "happy football" and has wasted several offensive opportunities. On the other hand, although there are gaps in Chelsea's midfield and backfield,... they also have a defensive midfielder named Kante!

Kanter, who had been rested previously, once again delivered an almost perfect performance in this game. He once again transformed into a ubiquitous ghost, appearing in every position where he should appear with active running!

Kanter's positivity also paid off.

In the 16th minute, Moses moved widely on the right. Although Hazard on the left caught up with the ball near the baseline, facing the close defense of two players, he was unable to break into the penalty area and could only feint a shot.

An inverted triangle cross came!

Li Polo, who was already in the penalty area, of course lost the opportunity to catch the ball. This does not mean that he is useless in this attack.

On the contrary, he suddenly moved two steps to the left immediately, attracting two defenders to unconsciously follow him and ran over. Unexpectedly, Li Polo had no idea of ​​catching the ball and allowed the inverted triangle pass to pass.

Rolled into the open space on the right side of the front edge of the penalty area...

What appeared in this area was not Willian and Fabregas, but... Kante!

I saw the French midfielder getting ahead of Gundogan, using a kick that seemed to be a shovel but not a shovel, and actually sent the football into the goal that was mostly empty!

1:0!

Kante, who opened the scoring for the team, obviously did not think about the celebration. He just grinned and was slapped on the head by the big hands of Fabregas and Remy!

Only Li Polo became slightly sulky:

[Kante, a defensive midfielder, has mastered long-range shooting skills? 】

【God, you are too partial!】

[How come after more than two months of hard training, my shooting accuracy rate has not reached half, and this little black guy, I have never seen him practice shooting at all, how come he can score with just one kick now?!]

【He is the real chosen one, right? 】

[Negative emotions from Li Polo, +66!]

-

After falling behind by one goal, Manchester City finally woke up from a dream and quickly launched a fierce attack.

It’s just that regardless of the close-range attacks of Sterling, Sane, and Jesus, or the long-range shots of Gundogan and Walker, although they formed consecutive attacks within 20 minutes, they almost did not attack the goal guarded by Navas.

Too big a threat.

Although the defense line composed of Rudiger, Christensen, and Azpilicueta cannot be said to be watertight, they need height, speed, and speed. With the help of the three of them, there was no such thing as too much trouble.

Big loophole.

After seeing the cooperation of the three of them, everyone couldn't help but nod:

"Old captain Cahill can gradually take a back seat!"

-

Compared with that game in the Community Shield, Manchester City today has obviously improved significantly.

The entire team's tactical execution has become more resolute, and the cooperation between players has become more tacit. New players, including Mahrez, have gradually integrated into Guardiola's tactical system.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester City's defense has been qualitatively improved.

Last season, Manchester City conceded 63 goals in 38 league rounds, averaging 1.66 goals per game. However, after the first 15 rounds of this season, they only conceded 7 goals!

The average is less than 0.5 per game!

Manchester City also relied on their excellent team defense to overpower Chelsea, which conceded 8 goals, and became the best defensive team in the Premier League!

——Of course, after today’s game, they will probably give up this honorary title!

In the 39th minute, Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho advanced with the ball. Kanter completed a clean tackle in a one-on-one duel and kicked the ball to the feet of Fabregas.

After resting for more than a week, my legs are full of strength now, and when I round my right foot, I can hit a through ball like a scalpel!

The ball whizzed across the turf and flew across half of the stadium, grazing Laporte's toes and penetrating Manchester City's defense.

“Beautifully delivered!”

Zhan Jun patted his thigh and couldn't help but praise Lao Fa:

"You are still older! Among Manchester City's two central defenders, Laporte's turning speed and tracking speed are obviously slower than Stones. Cesc Fabregas made the wisest choice!"

If he heard his evaluation, Fabregas might be speechless:

[Stones and Laporte... no matter how fast they are, to me, Brother Polo, is there any difference? 】

[As long as you dare to leave enough distance, no matter which defender is behind you, it is my brother Polo's racecourse!]

Like a whirlwind, Lee Polo passed by Laporte, then caught up with the football, caught up with Stones before he could catch up, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and hit goalkeeper Ederson with a kick

shoot!

Ederson spread his legs and hands to maximize the defensive area. The football was indeed thrown by him, but the huge force knocked his right hand away and still pushed the ball into the net!

2:0!

Ederson, whose wrist was numbed by the volley, fell to the sky and fell into the goal!

[Negative sentiment from Edson, +369!]

Manchester City, which had only conceded an average of half a goal per game in the first 15 rounds, had already conceded two goals in a row in the first half of this game!
