Chapter 881 Collective return to the peak

Guardiola is ruthless enough, and Manchester City's bumper harvest last season was enough to make him even more arrogant.

Trailing 0:1 in the first half, Lao Gua directly changed three for three at halftime. Zhuo Yang, Dias, and Gomez came on the scene, replacing Sane, Gundogan, and Foden.

Zhuo Yang had nothing to say, but Dias and Gomez appeared in front of Chelsea's aggressive madness at this moment. According to common sense, Lao Gua didn't plan to take this game.

After the third siege in the first half, Ruoniao passed the ball to the wing, and Ma Alonso passed the ball. The Saber pulled the front point, and Sloppy scored with a standard header in the middle.

Frankly speaking, Chelsea played like this in the first half and it was 1:0. Manchester City was very lucky.

If Chelsea continues to show such strength in the new season, it will really be enough for Manchester City to drink from the Premier League. Lao Gua doesn't know what tricks Sarri has that can quickly improve the team's tactical status in such a short period of time.

Sarri is also in a cloud. Although the team is not playing all his stuff now, no coach does not want his subordinates to be as passionate and powerful as they are now. White cat and black cat, the one who can lick the plate clean has a good tongue.

Sarri hurriedly arranged the key points of the second half of the game without making any substitutions, so he quickly took out his cigarettes and lit them, wanting to light two at a time. Only a ghost would chew tobacco if given a choice.

During the fifteen-minute intermission, Zhuoyang finally pulled out of the panic of the Surrey cigarette press. Turning into a demon at a glance, he expressed deep sympathy for his Chelsea counterpart.

As for the game, Zhuo Yang didn't think too much. His current "truth" style of play doesn't care too much about who his teammates are and how his opponents play.

But after walking onto the field to start the game with applause, Zhuo Yang found that he had thought wrong. Being there on the court is different from watching it on the sidelines.

After closing my eyes and opening my eyes a few times, I couldn't find the Chelsea lineup's line of 'making something out of nothing'.

However, it is not that the Chelsea team's formation and movement are perfect, because this thing is a relative thing between offense and defense, and there is no 100% without any gaps. It's just that for Zhuo Yang, Chelsea left no gaps.

The entire formation was aimed at Zhuo Yang, and only him.

Such as Cesc Fabregas. Xiaofa can be regarded as one of Zhuoyang's oldest rivals in today's football. They have fought fiercely with each other since they were still in Madiburg and Arsenal. Zhuoyang knows how much he weighs.

Although the top midfielder is a top-notch midfielder, he is obviously not good enough for Zhuo Yang in terms of midfield defense and positioning. It's not even good enough for Guardiola, otherwise he wouldn't be pushed forward by Lao Gua in Barcelona.

Moreover, Fabregas has long passed his peak period. He has not been included in the squad for this year's World Cup, and he has basically stayed away from the Spanish national football team in 2019.

However, today at Wembley, the 31-year-old Fascination seems to have returned to his second spring in competitive sports, especially his defensive sophistication, which even Zhuo Yang couldn't help but marvel at. Not too close, not too far, not even two and a half steps, not even the slightest bit exposed.

There is also Barkley, who had no choice but to leave Chelsea when Everton's midfield was filled with No. 10. Before, the three-legged cat could not get into Zhuo Yang's eyes, but today he also seems to be an all-round midfielder who is unmatched in offense and defense. Zhuoyang's flanks are watertight.

There is also Jorginho. This guy was already very good, but now he is even more powerful and exaggerated. He is more skillful in marking Zhuoyang's footsteps than Kanter.

The rest of the Chelsea players are basically like this. They are all defending against Zhuoyang regardless of distance. They have excellent tactical awareness and formation distance. They are in extremely good condition and collectively appear at the peak of their career.

Eleven people are united as one, even if Zhuo Yang becomes an immortal, he will not find a chance for the time being.

Of course, in this way, there will be more opportunities for other Manchester City players. Therefore, Zhuoyang did not rush to go it alone, but became a team player in a down-to-earth manner.

In the 50th minute, Ruoniao and Zhuoyang faced each other, and the football ran to Dias' feet. The young man was smart enough to break through diagonally and pass to the center.

This kind of space does not belong to Zhuoyang, but to Akun, but it is not entirely his, because the Argentine shooter who just experienced the summer's frustration missed the ball.

Although they didn't succeed, this was the time when Manchester City's offense was back to life after a strong attack in the first half.

Five minutes later, seat B passed azp with flying speed, and his ribs went straight into the penalty area. Akun got the ball again, and used his small body to pass Caballero, who was more unlucky than him this summer. But because the angle was too small, the inverse shot hit the side netting.

Seeing that he was not smart enough and that Akun was also an aging veteran, he no longer tried to force himself to gain merit. The fifth one is the same. After attracting firepower from the flank, he makes a wonderful pass towards the center.

The 18-year-old Gomez missed the opportunity to become famous with a goal. His shot was soft and was confiscated by the veteran Kaba who fell to the ground.

For ten minutes, the sluggish Manchester City and the hot Chelsea played back and forth, and they seemed to be alive. However, Zhuo Yang is basically a person who disappears into the open.

Under the strict defense of Chelsea's "unity type", his containment effect is very strong, but there is no performance in the statistics.

Chelsea's entire team is in good form and is, after all, the top team in football. The only one that slipped through the net against the background of Manchester City's bumper harvest last season, it can not only block Zhuoyang with all its strength, but can also create opportunities in front.

On the first pass, Sloppy, who was also out of form, turned around and shook off Laporte, heading the ball in the air.

The handling of this ball, whether from the technical point of view or the consciousness, I am afraid no one will believe that Sloppy is not a top center.

There was an open space in the Sabres penalty area, and the ball hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net. Bravo didn't move and silently cursed.

0:2, the score is a bit eye-catching.

Lao Gua was obviously angry. Without a word, he replaced Laporte and Debich with Kompany and Otamendi. The Charity Shield allows six substitutions, and in just about 60 minutes, Manchester City made five substitutions.

It was impossible for Sarri not to be overjoyed. He felt that he could win this game. Perhaps it was because of the opening of the next door to make substitutions and adjustments, and substitutions were made when leading by two goals.

Odoi, who played a relatively small role on the field, was replaced by Drinkwater. In fact, just look at the fact that Odoi is only three months shy of turning 18 years old. He performed very well today. If this continues, he will definitely have no problem establishing himself in Chelsea's first team.

Not to mention the 28-year-old Drinking Brother, who was an indispensable puzzle piece for the Blue Fox miracle. Although his performance after that was not very energetic, and he was abandoned by the England national team for both the European Cup the year before last and this summer's World Cup, but he was still okay after moving to Chelsea last year. Kong Erluzi admired him very much.

According to the team's performance pattern today, he should be equally unambiguous.

In addition, Drinkwater is called Drinkwater Brother, not only because he has plenty of water, but also because his last name ‘drkwater’ literally translates to ‘drink water’. I don't understand what happened to their ancestors.

However, when Brother Drinking Water ran onto the court, Sarri scratched his head a little and replaced the winger in midfield. This did not seem to be his approach.

No matter what, the situation is looking good anyway. Sari stopped worrying, took out a cigarette and started chewing it.

Zhuo Yang doesn't think the situation is great. If he can't play football without getting angry, why should I come?

After more than 20 minutes of touching the ball and running, he fully adjusted his body into the game state. It was time to cause some trouble for Chelsea.

Manchester City kicked off, Akun poked Zhuo Yang, and he rushed forward with the ball.
