Premier League, Manchester City won 1-0 at home to Chelsea, after this game, Manchester City led Chelsea by 13 points, it seems that this year want to lose the title, unless the main team is all injured, of course, this game is actually very representative, representing two different ideas of tactics, Manchester City's core tactics are change, Chelsea's core tactics are unchanged, from this point of view of this game, maybe Chelsea lost is deserved.
The main reason why Chelsea is the constant tactic is that Chelsea's tactics now look too decent, resulting in some players not being able to play well
Chelsea are now encountering a bottleneck, that is, Tutchell's tactics are a bit decent, there is really no change, this is the problem. This is a typical case, the Chelsea defender looks like it is because of the injury, but some players can not play does make the team's back line problematic, basically this team is necessary to Ludiger and Silva plus Christensen combination to have the best three center-back effect, the wing-back needs at least one of Chilwell and James to have a good effect, one of these players does not play, the team is prone to problems, which is why Chelsea is now unchanged, because many of the substitutes can not be used, not good. Rudiger played right centre-back this time, there were many problems, Alonso played wing-back, but also made a lot of mistakes, basically was beaten by Sterling. Coupled with Tutchell's high requirements for tactical discipline, this is a bit helpless.
Another midfielder and attacking player to look at, Chelsea is also too formatted, this game has more problems
Tucher's midfield tactics are based on having a good defensive midfielder Kante plus an all-round midfielder Jorginho to play, after all, the wing is the impact point, the midfield is the organization point, this can see ThatKovacic play is average, so this team has no creativity, Kante is not in good shape, and some of this defense is also a mistake. The problem of the front line is also caused by the same, Pulisic and Ziyech look really bad, running position and attack are problems, Lukaku is running position and then shooting according to this tactic, but the actual effect is that he is not technical enough under his feet, and there are many problems in this game. But the team's tactic is to pass the ball to Romelu Lukaku, Lukaku completed the fatal blow, the result is the effect of this game, as long as the opponent's defense can keep up, Lukaku's foot technical defects are exposed. Because the team's attack and defense are carried out at a glance, this is the reason why Chelsea do not change and lose, in contrast, Manchester City's thinking is to change.
The biggest change in Guardiola's team this year is that the team's offensive and defensive core is not fixed, this game once again illustrates this matter, on the one hand, the team's Position of Cancelo is constantly changing, not only playing full-back, but also playing full-back, Walker is in average form, but this game has Silva constantly running, helping the team attack and defend. In this game, Manchester City actually still has no center forward, but this is the upgrade, in fact, as the game progresses, De Bruyne is a bit like a center forward, even Silva is like a center forward, this team is still constantly changing positions, this is the change, causing Chelsea's defenders to be really tired, De Bruyne's goal looks like this, sudden acceleration, it completes the goal. Kante failed defensively at this time, and then De Bruyne scored, this team really doesn't know who can score this season, this is the change, and it is also the reason why Manchester City, without a center, has always been able to win recently. So Guardiola's system is really to keep players in place and finish scoring.
So in this game, Chelsea lost normally, their tactics are a bit decent, the players also lack creativity, although Manchester City is still not a center forward, but relying on their own constant substitutions, can complete the scoring.
