The glorious goal was the straw that broke Chelsea's back.

Before Carlo Ancelotti could figure out what to do, his team had already been torn apart by glory.

With two goals down and still facing Manchester City, it seems that there is no need to think about what to do.

The game...... Can Chelsea still win?

Unless Manchester City themselves are brain-dead.

But in such a crucial game, how could they possibly make a mistake?

Ancelotti sighed, a sense of powerlessness welling up in her heart.

It's a feeling he's no stranger to, and he felt it in the 2007 Champions League final. He also felt it when the two sides played each other in the first half of the season.

Whenever you're playing against Glory, you're bound to feel that way – no matter how much effort you put into it before the game, you're going to find it unnecessary, it's all useless.

To be honest, although I am familiar with this feeling, Ancelotti really, really hates it.

Carlo Ancelotti returned to the dugout, sat down, and then looked at the pitch without saying a word.

While Ancelotti was feeling helpless, the Manchester City fans at Stamford Bridge and those in front of the TV were cheering uncontrollably.

Scoring two goals in a short period of time, it seemed to them that Manchester City had sealed the win completely.

The rest of the game is completely in their control, Manchester City can be as fast as they want, as slow as they want, and the pace of the game is basically up to them.

In such an important battle of Tianwang Mountain, Manchester City was able to win Chelsea, and many people have really seen the hope of winning the championship!

Forty-two years, the first title of the English top flight!

Manchester City fans' eyes wet at the thought of this.

In the darkest period of the last century, when Manchester City were at their worst, their highest goal was to stay in the Premier League rather than be a lift. As for the Premier League title, they don't even dare to think about it.

But now, there is a good chance that this dream will come true......

Who says Jinyuan football is bad?

If we don't have gold dollars, can we buy Rong?

How could we possibly have a chance to compete for the league title if it weren't for Rong?!

Manchester City's fans are probably the least resistant to outside capital right now.

When Murdoch wanted to buy Manchester United, it caused protests and concern from Manchester United fans all over the UK. Later, American businessman Fraser bought Manchester United, and some angry and disappointed Manchester United fans simply organized their own club, called "United Mann", which happened to be the opposite of Manchester United, and the meaning was self-evident. They started at the lowest level of the league and wanted to turn this team into a team that truly inherits the spirit of Manchester United.

But when the same thing happened to Manchester City, only a very small number of Manchester City fans protested, and there was no such thing as organizing the "City Man" club.

Manchester United have a glorious past enough that their supporters are proud of it, and therefore cannot accept the tarnishing of their beloved club by capital.

But Manchester City didn't, their days were too hard and they desperately wanted to get better. How to get better? Of course you have to be rich!

Chelsea is a living example of how money has transformed Chelsea from a spoiler to a league champion.

This match is also a matchup between the old and new nouveau riche of the Premier League.

Now it seems that Manchester City, who spent more money than Chelsea, won the match.

Today's football is really completely inseparable from money......

After City took a two-goal lead, the Chelsea players looked a little lost and didn't know what to do next.

Offense, right? People scored goals in a counterattack, aren't they falling behind more and more if they continue to play like this?

Don't attack, now they are two goals behind, don't attack, let this score remain until the end, don't they still can't get rid of the fate of losing?

So is it to attack or not to attack?

The vast majority of Chelsea players opted not to attack.

Because how did you lose that ball just now?

Wasn't it because they were in a hurry to equalise after falling behind, pressing heavily on the attack, and as a result, Manchester City seized the opportunity to play a successful counter-attack?

At this time, we still have to attack, and we really don't think we have conceded enough balls.

If you want to attack, at least wait until this trend has passed......

So in the next game, Chelsea are in no hurry to attack.

They tightened their defence and tried not to concede any more goals.

And at this time, Benitez also made a substitution.

He replaced Sneijder with Martin Petrov.

Sneijder, who had just returned from injury, was not in good form and was not fit well, so Benitez replaced him in order to avoid another injury.

He doesn't need to stay on the pitch anyway.

It's better to rest more, and we will need him in the future.

Sneijder was also not unhappy with the manager replacing him after less than 60 minutes of the game, and he happily accepted the decision.

With a two-goal lead, the team playing the best defensive counter-attack, and glory on the pitch, Sneijder is not worried about any surprises at all.

He high-fived Martin Petrov with a relaxed mood and walked off the court.

When Martin Petrov came on the pitch, because he had more pace than Sneijder and was a good attacker on the wing, Benitez's idea was clear, and that was to play defensive counter-attacks.

Glory and the speed and individual skill of Petrov and David Silva threatened Chelsea's goal.

Any one of the three of them has good personal abilities and has a strong ability to fight individually.

So when you counter-attack, you don't just have to pass the football to glory, you can also threaten the Chelsea goal with two other people.

At the same time, the three of them are very fast and can also play cooperatively.

With these three on the pitch, Chelsea will not dare to press too hard in the next games.

We always say that "the best defense is offense", but many people always misunderstand this sentence, thinking that offense is the kind of offense that is overwhelming and overwhelming.

But in fact, the best defense should be the current Benitez adjustment, which looks like the change of offensive players, intending to strengthen the attack, but in fact, the effect is to stabilize the defense.

This is the "best defense"!

After Rafael Benitez made the change, Chelsea's game was even more uncomfortable.

Want to attack?

His backyard was targeted by three fast horses.

Not offensive?

That is to kill people with a blunt knife, grinding people to death little by little.

Carlo Ancelotti also made adjustments to try to strengthen the attack.

But it didn't work out well.

By the 80th minute, the score had not changed, and the score of 1:3 was very eye-catching on the big screen at Stamford Bridge.

Many Chelsea fans fell silent and the stands at Stamford Bridge were much quieter.

In the last ten minutes, Carlo Ancelotti got up from the dugout and walked to the sidelines, where he stood and watched the last ten minutes of the game.

But his save didn't make much of a difference to the scoreline.

In the final ten minutes, Manchester City played very calmly, allowing Chelsea to bombard their half without any rush.

Even if they conceded a goal, they were still one goal ahead of Chelsea. And it's more likely that they counter-attacked and scored before conceding the goal......

Eventually, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"It's over! Manchester City beat Chelsea 3-1 away! In terms of score, the gap is not very big, but from the field, Manchester City should be able to score more goals, and the score should be even more different! But it doesn't matter...... The important thing seems to be that Manchester City have won, and in the race against Chelsea for the league title, they won this very crucial game! ”

"This Manchester City team is simply too strong to beat! If the opponent presses the attack, they play defensive counterattacks. If the opponent shrinks their defense, they also have powerful weapons that can break through dense defenses! Who can beat them? Who can stop them?! ”

At Stamford Bridge, on Chelsea turf, Manchester City's players were running to celebrate.

In his post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti refused to admit that the defeat was a heavy blow to the team.

'We're four points behind them now, it's not a big gap, we've been four points behind them before, but in the end we caught up. It's too early to say that the league title belongs to Manchester City......"

Rafael Benitez echoed the sentiment: 'I'm happy to beat Chelsea, but the win has nothing to do with the league title. If we want to win the league title, we need to win the next ten league games. ”

Benitez isn't posturing, he really thinks it's not the time to be happy, with ten rounds left in the league and Manchester City definitely reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League. With the end of the season approaching, there is a lot of pressure on Manchester City in all areas, and that will be the real test.

So it's still time to be cautious.

And Ancelotti said this to naturally want to boost the morale of the team and make them not give up before the league is over.

With ten rounds left in the league and now four points down, it's not time to say give up.

This is his first season at Chelsea and he needs a league title to cement his managerial position. He is well aware that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is not a particularly patient man...... Think about it, Grant led Chelsea to a historic Champions League final, but wasn't he swept away by Roman Abramovich?

If he wants to stay with this team for a few more years and follow through on his coaching philosophy, he will have to leave something to prove his quality in this first season.
