Benitez is not trying to surrender, he has no conditions to surrender, Chelsea are currently in third place with 49 points, but there are also Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal are their rivals, Benitez's task is to lead the team to Champions League qualification, and every remaining game does not allow him to give up easily.

At eight o'clock in the evening of the 27th, the last game of the 27th round of the Premier League started at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City's side is usually in the 442 position, Wensheng rotated some positions, Dzeko was replaced by Drogba, Yaya Toure was replaced by Dembele in the midfield position, Melo continued to start, Zabaleta as a right wing-back, Klich as a left wing-back, the center-back partner as Kompany is still not back, the iron man Van Dijk and Savic continue to sit, and the goalkeeper position is the starting goalkeeper in the League Cup final. Hart continued to serve as a starter.

Chelsea, for their part, continued with a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Cech

Defenders: Branislav Ivanovic, Cahill, David. Louis, Ashley. Cole

Midfielders: Ramirez, Lampard, Mikel

Forwards: Juan Mata, Eden Hazard, Demba Ba

One of the important reasons why Chelsea chose to let Benitez replace Di Matteo as head coach was Torres, Torres's most glorious time was when he was playing under Benitez, but after such a long time, Torres still failed to recover the original state of blocking and killing Buddha, so now Benitez has been completely disappointed in him, put him on the bench, and the starting center has become Demba Ba.

Demba Ba is not an unknown person, he was one of the feared Huocun Trident back then, and his performance was also very good after transferring to Newcastle, and someone recommended Demba Ba to Wensheng last summer, but Wensheng did not want to be ripped off by Newcastle, in January this year, Demba Ba still left Newcastle and joined Chelsea for 7 million pounds, and Chelsea made a good deal.

Chelsea's squad is actually quite good, but they have really not been smooth this season, Terry and Frank Lampard have been seriously injured, and Chelsea's central midfield lacks a leader-level figure, resulting in the team's form ups and downs.

After Benitez took office, how to say this state, not as good as imagined, Wen Sheng feels that he is not as good as Di Matteo with the team, it has been three or four months, Di Matteo led the team to 13 rounds and won 25 points, Benitez led the team to play 13 Premier League games and got 24 points, recently they have been in a really average state on all fronts, very average, and his transformation of Chelsea is not as good as he imagined.

The pre-match ceremony ended, and the match between the two sides quickly got into the main topic.

Chelsea played very aggressively after the opening, and of course it had a lot to do with Wen Sheng's tactical choices in this game.

He has always paid attention to details, for example, in this game, Dzeko's absence directly affected the team's tactical development.

Dzeko is on the field, generally Wensheng likes to let him retreat, and let Aguero top the front as the arrow of the striker, Dzeko is on the pitch is conducive to Manchester City's control in the midfield, but replaced by Drogba, this will not work, Drogba's running ability has declined, he can't help the midfield control as often as Dzeko, so Wensheng can only let Aguero retreat, Aguero is lazy, does not like to run, is not conducive to midfield control.

Therefore, Wen Sheng will not be too obsessed with the midfield and the opponent to control this game, on the contrary, he will be like in the Champions League against Malaga, when necessary, through long passes, wings with crosses to attack Chelsea's central defenders, Chelsea's central defenders Cahill and Luiz are not very reliable at least this season, Terry is not on the field, they can make a lot of mistakes, otherwise how could Chelsea's results be so bad?!

And Chelsea's creative ability in the front field is actually quite good, Hazard is particularly good, Mata's passing organization level is also quite good, Lampard's forward shot is also very threatening, Chelsea is really a reliable center forward, Demba Ba's level is not enough, Torres is as bad as ever, Manchester City's side can just stabilize their defense and limit their attacking space in the frontcourt.

The attacking patterns of the two teams were different, which naturally gave fans the feeling that City seemed to be below in control, at least from the opening kick-off.

In the third minute, Hazard played Zabaleta on the wing, Zabaleta used his hand, Chelsea drove a set-piece, David. Luiz headed home Chelsea's first shot of the game.

Wen Sheng beckoned De Bruyne to his side, "You have to wrap up Hazard, especially Ashley. When Kerr is already up, they are a big threat to us on this side, but it's also an opportunity for us to intercept them at the back and you can take advantage of that counter-attack! Risk also means opportunity, it seems that you are suppressed, we are under pressure, but opportunities can also appear inadvertently, you have to be closer to Pablo! ”

"Understood, boss!" De Bruyne nodded.

Wen Sheng did not criticize him, but he knew that Wen Sheng was a little dissatisfied with his lack of deep retreat, and De Bruyne was very convinced of Wen Sheng, so he retreated a lot deeper to help Zabaleta and Melo defend on this side.

Today's luck seems to be on Chelsea's side, and before the two sides can let go of their means, Manchester City's side was sentenced to death by referee Oliver.

In the sixth minute, Chelsea attacked the 30-metre area of Manchester City and Juan Mata's cross from near the bottom line hit Savic's arm, and Oliver awarded Chelsea a penalty after believing that Savic was deliberately blocking the ball's path.

This penalty is a bit unjust, it can be seen from the slow motion, the ball did hit Savic's hand, but Savic has a backhand action, it is a bit unreasonable to really award a penalty, but a group of players at Chelsea are arguing, Oliver doesn't know if it is because of this pressure or if he thinks so, in short, this penalty was awarded.

Wen Sheng was depressed, the penalty could change the course of the game, and his tactical plan may need to be adjusted.

Joe. Hart is not very good at saving penalty kicks, and Wen Sheng even regrets it a little, if it is Navas, Wen Sheng feels that the possibility of saving is a little more likely, after all, Navas depends on reaction to survive.

Frank Lampard ran and sent the ball into the bottom left corner, to the delight of Wensheng, Hart saved in the direction of the left, Lampard's penalty was still quite strong, but Joe Hart flew to block and directly saved Lampard's shot.

Wen Sheng's excitement was no less than Manchester City scoring a goal, and he applauded Hart's performance, this time Hart really saved the team!

"It seems that luck is still on our side today!" Wen Sheng was full of confidence in this game for no reason.
