Morris is the captain of Manchester City, the core of Manchester City, the most technically strong player, he has a strong leadership ability on the field, everyone in the team admires Morris, they will follow Morris's command to play.

Morris also has the most tacit understanding with Wansheng.

When Wansheng explained something, Morris was able to understand, and he passed the news to his teammates so that everyone on the court knew.

So when he told Morris, Wan Sheng exhaled slightly, but just telling the players can only give the players one more concept of 'defending more', in fact, the impact on the next game is not so big, so he has to do something else.

Substitution.

It wasn't a smart choice to make substitutions in the final ten minutes of the first half, but after seeing Chelsea score in quick succession, Wan Sheng knew the team had to step up defensively.

How to make substitutions is a key question.

In this game, Manchester City discharged a 352 formation, playing control and attack, since Torres joined, Manchester City has been adapting to this formation, when playing more targeted, Manchester City's offensive ability is enough to guarantee, and the defensive ability is not bad, the general team wants to break through the Manchester City midfield line, it is not easy to impact the back line.

But Chelsea are clearly not in the 'average team'.

Chelsea's overall strength is too strong, not counting the bonus of coaching skills, just talking about the player's own ability, Manchester City is still a little bit behind Chelsea.

Chelsea's strength lies in the fact that most of their players are both physical and technical, while Manchester City are not afraid to scramble. Not afraid of physical collisions, like Torres, Silva, Mesut Ozil, and even Morris, Ivan Crewe, etc. They are both more technical, they are very flexible in their football, which is why Manchester City can play 'the most flashy attacking football in the Premier League'.

Chelsea's overall strength, combined with their good performances in this game, made them a great threat to City's defence.

3:2。

It can be seen from the previous game that in fact, Manchester City's attack played well, and the first half has not passed. There were two goals, which is pretty good statistically, but it's a pity that Chelsea scored more goals.

So it's a top priority. The defense has to be strengthened, and the substitutions have to be considered in this aspect.

Replace whom?

Wan Sheng looked at the field of play, thought about it, and finally chose to replace Torres.

Fernando Torres is the frontline player. He also scored a goal for the team before. But since the first goal, Chelsea have been defending Torres tightly, and he has hardly had a few chances to touch the ball, and now Torres has become the 'least useful' player in the team, because he is at the front and is very defended by Chelsea.

In fact, Darren Bent was also heavily defended, but Darren Bent was more agile in his movement. Occasionally, he received a pass and combined with the midfielder a few times.

Wan Sheng decided to come down. The fourth official was notified of the preparation of the substitution.

Soon the fourth official raised his substitution card, and City opted for a substitution - Elano Brummer up, Torres down.

――――

City's substitution came in the 39th minute, a point in time that few would have imagined that City would opt for a substitution.

"Attention! Manchester City are going to make a substitution! ”

'It's Elano Brummer, who joined Manchester City in the summer and comes from Shakhtar Donetsk. Previously at Shakhtar Donetsk, Brummer was a little unknown, but he is actually a Brazilian international, and as early as two years ago, he was selected for the Brazilian national team with his consistent performance and good strength. ”

"So let's see, he's replaced ......"

"Torres ???"

"Torres !!"

"Wan Sheng replaced Torres with Bloomer, it's a bit unbelievable, Torres was replaced, he helped Manchester City score the first goal, in addition, we think that as long as the Spanish golden boy is on the field, it is a kind of deterrent to the opponent, Wan Sheng actually replaced him......"

From the tone of the commentator, it can also be heard that he is very puzzled by Manchester City's substitution, because no matter how he thinks, he also feels that Torres should not be replaced.

However, Manchester's media commentary didn't see it that way, "Brummer replaces Torres. The substitution was expected, and after Torres scored, he didn't perform very well, and he was at the front, so it was difficult to make much difference. ”

"Wansheng is obviously planning to strengthen the defense, and replacing Torres is a good choice......"

on the playing field.

Torres was also a little stunned when he realized that he had been substituted, he felt that his performance was not bad, and he also scored a goal for the team, but he didn't expect to be replaced before the first half was over?

He was a little confused.

Wan Sheng greeted him, he couldn't let the players have a pimple in their hearts, so when Torres came off the field, he gave Torres a hug and said in his ear, "Fernando, your performance is great, but the tactical adjustment requires you to come down, can you understand?" ”

Torres was a little dazed, but nodded anyway.

In any case, the manager did not choose to replace himself because he was dissatisfied with himself, and that was enough, as for whether it was a tactical requirement or something, it would be clear if you continued to watch the game.

――――

After a substitution, the game continued.

With Elano Brummer on the pitch, City's defensive hardness has obviously increased a lot.

In the previous 352 formation, there was only one central defender Kopelle Ferreira, and after making substitution adjustments, Elano Brummer spent more time in the backfield, and the team's formation was similar to the 451, which was equivalent to adding a central defender to the defense.

With a stable defense in the middle, Manchester City have also played a lot more steadily, and it will not be so easy for Chelsea to break forward or use counter-attacks to find opportunities.

Chelsea also spotted the problem after a few waves of attacks from both sides, but they didn't bother much because they were the one in the lead.

However, what they also failed to pay attention to was that after Torres's departure, Manchester City did not lose their attacking ability!

Before Manchester City was a five-midfielder, now it is still a five-midfielder, Torres is on the field, that is, a forward in front of him, and his contribution to the attack is not as big as imagined, so in fact, Manchester City's offensive ability has not decreased much, and it even makes people feel that Manchester City's attack is more orderly and more threatening.

Wan Sheng stood on the sidelines, also frowning slightly.

He also found the problem.

But soon after watching a wave of attacks, he had a sudden realization that the main problem was that there were too many players with strong technical strength in the team's frontcourt!

Fernando Torres, Darren Bent, Morris, Mesut Ozil, Silva, Ivan Crewe, Martin Petrov ...... The front court is almost all top-notch players, theoretically speaking, they are combined together, it must make the offense more gorgeous and make the opponent more unguardable, but the problem is that the football field is so big, the space near the opponent's penalty area is also limited, and the players with strong technical strength, too many of them, may not be able to play better, but after attrition (Torres), the offense will be more fluid.

Chelsea didn't notice this, and they thought that City had tightened up their defence and that the attack would definitely suffer.

So they didn't care at all.

It was even said that when Morris hoisted the ball to the left side of the penalty area, full-back Ferreira felt that it was a mistake: Torres was in that position before, but Torres was already off, and Manchester City only had one striker, what is this not a mistake?

But others don't think so, because they can see the game as a whole!

For example, the Stamford Bridge announcer was the first to realise the danger, and when he saw Morris's pass, he shouted, "Watch this ball!" Danger-"

The fans at the scene also noticed, they exclaimed from the stands, and many reporters in the media gallery stood up and shouted like the fans.

"Morris's pass! Golden opportunity! ”

With the shouting of George Woodgate, the BBC radio commentator, almost everyone looked to the figure of a Manchester City player following on the right.

Ozil!

After Torres went off, Ozil was almost running according to the team's usual tactical routine, and when he saw Morris getting the ball in the middle, he subconsciously ran towards the right side.

When Mesut Ozil got into position, the ball hung straight in front of him as if it had been rehearsed.

Mesut Ozil suppressed his excitement, glanced up at the direction of the goal, and swung his right foot directly after him.

――――

Wan Sheng stood up from the dugout, clenched his fists and stared at the direction of the Chelsea goal with wide eyes.

Many fans exclaimed from the stands.

Behind the Chelsea goal, the cameramen who took pictures were all constantly pressing the shutter, and the on-site media cameras were almost all aimed at the front of the Chelsea goal.

At the same moment, all the commentators who broadcast the game shouted -

"Ozil—"

"Shoot-"

"Look at this ball—"

In the midst of these sounds, Ozil's eyes seemed to slow down, the football hit the ground headfirst, the grass clippings flew and bounced again, and at the same time, his right leg was waving!

"Bang!"

A muffled sound!

The right instep and the football collide together!

The ball almost took a hard turn in mid-air, changing direction and heading straight for the goal.

"Volley!"

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech subconsciously raised his right arm to block the ball, but by the time he made the reflex, the ball had already rushed across the right.

――――

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooal！！！！！！！”

“3:3！ 3:3！ ”

"6th goal!"

'This is Chelsea's home game against Manchester City and we have six goals before the first half is over.

"It was German youngster Mesut Ozil who had just scored, and he helped Manchester City equalise! 3:3！ It was an amazing game, both sides were very efficient, and no one could have imagined before the game that there would be so many goals. ”

"After Mesut Ozil's goal, the two sides are back on the same page, and the rest of the game will be even more exciting......" (To be continued. )
