If you discuss which of the current five major leagues is the most interesting, the Premier League may bear the brunt of it, from the current overall competitive situation in the Premier League, the competition between teams around the Premier League Champions League has reached the point of death. From the 8th place Wolves to the fourth place West Ham United, including Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, the five giants, have the hope of impacting the Champions League, almost every team manager, the impact of the top four of the Premier League as their own must complete the task, in the white-hot Champions League ticket battle, the Fourth Place in the Premier League has changed hands several times, so far no one can be sure who can represent the Premier League in the next season's Champions League. The competition for the 4th place in the Premier League is fierce, and the competition around the top of the Premier League table is particularly quiet, in fact, today, Manchester City is firmly at the top of the Premier League with twelve consecutive wins, Liverpool and Chelsea have almost become the only teams that can endanger the status of Manchester City, and because of this, the battle of Tianwangshan, which was previously launched in the battle between Chelsea and Manchester City, has become a grand event that the Blues fans in the Premier League have attracted.
The Tianwang Mountain soldiers were fiercely in danger, and Tuchel ushered in a life-and-death battle
Before the start of this match, Chelsea fans still remember how Tuchel's predatory Blues defeated Manchester City on their own strength in last season's Champions League final, making Guardiola's year's hard work in vain. In this game, fans are still looking forward to the Chelsea players can regain their original courage and give the Blue Moon Army a head-on blow, and as Manchester City fans, they are also convinced that the Blue Moon Army's winning streak has become unstoppable, and Chelsea is about to become their background wall.
This game, whether it is Guardiola or Tuchel, attaches great importance to the game, all send the most elite squad, Chelsea by Lukaku, Ziyech, and Pulisic joint forward line start, it is reasonable to say that this lineup is also quite luxurious, looking at the five major leagues, few teams dare to say that they can resist their output, in short, Chelsea is indeed playing this round of Premier League matches as a "Premier League final".
The game hadn't started yet, and Tuchel had already lost half of it
However, in fact, before this game, the status and situation of the two teams have actually been made public in advance, although the Chelsea fans are like a tsunami, cheering for their home team, only Tuchel and his players know in their hearts that they actually have no certainty in this game, not to mention that the venue of this game is the Etihad Stadium, and they hardly have any advantage. It can only be pinned on Lukaku's inspiration on the edge of the penalty area, and can have the opportunity to create miracles.
Chelsea's pre-match thinking was good, Tuchel's platooning did not see any grooves, and the only problem was that they seemed to underestimate Pep Guardiola's Manchester City. Manchester City, which has been the most promising team in the Premier League this season, has become the most promising team in the Premier League, compared to Tuchel who lost himself, Guardiola has insisted on passing control play for many years, and the pass control system has truly implanted the genes of Manchester City, and now it is finally ushering in the harvest period. For Manchester City, Chelsea today pose no threat to them. Perhaps in the last Champions League final, Chelsea won the Champions League Big Ears trophy from Manchester City by relying on a bloody defense, and this time, Guardiola wanted to let Tuchel reacquaint himself with Manchester City.
In the half, the two sides made a clean deal, but they were already strong and weak
The manager's anxiety quickly spread into the dressing room, the game began, the picture was a bit of a surprise, Chelsea began to show a state of full power outage, Ziyech passed frequent mistakes, Lukaku in the box scramble was crushed, none of them could help the team to complete the goal, in addition to successive mistakes, Lukaku basically played a passerby role in other time periods, Chelsea fans looked at Lukaku to create miracles, but in the end they just waited for disappointment.
On the Manchester City side, almost ignoring Chelsea, playing at their own pace, while occupying the advantage of possession, they began to use the repeated passing of the ball to put the battlefield on the Chelsea side, creating threats many times, and at first glance, Guardiola has a deep understanding of the essence of "Nine Yang Shengong". From the scene, the Manchester City side rarely made mistakes in almost the whole game, but the Chelsea side, although it has always been known for its defense, played dangerously throughout the game, and the Chelsea fans on the scene were even more heart-wrenching. After the first half of the match, although both sides did not take an aggressive approach out of caution, the score was 0-0. However, judging from the actual situation of the game, the difference between strong and weak has been determined.
The master's duel is only between a millimeter, and Manchester City will eventually defeat the enemy in one move
The duel between the masters, whether it is martial arts or ball skills, in the final analysis, it is not who moves more gorgeously, the key to determining life and death, often depends on who makes fewer mistakes, in this game, Manchester City's performance is stable and fierce, there are few mistakes, they play the whole game, the whole process is actually looking for a one-hit opportunity,
When the game went to the 70th minute, Manchester City finally waited for this opportunity, Guardiola's love will de Bruyne stepped forward, after the Manchester City midfielders twice, De Bruyne burst into the box with the ball, although at this time the Chelsea backcourt players reacted equally quickly, there were already as many as 6 players trying to intercept between the lightning and flint, but before this, Chelsea's backcourt players did not expect De Bruyne to appear, and in the end, De Bruyne's right foot on the outside of the box was completely destroyed. From this moment on, the game completely lost its suspense.
The superstar effect was once again apparent, and De Bruyne struck a blow
Many fans after watching the game, think that this game is not even as good as the confrontation between the second-rate teams, so that these games are more lively and exciting, in fact, from the surface, the game is played "dull", but between the two sides, one move at any time, can determine life and death, every move of any player, there is an undercurrent of surging, De Bruyne's goal, after kicking out, flew over the head of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa, the latter can be described as helpless, such a blow, non-human can stop. Only such a blow can successfully knock Chelsea back, and Manchester City's victory is both accidental and inevitable.
Objectively speaking, there is a considerable gap between this game and the battle of King Mountain imagined by Blues fans, although it is not a ups and downs, but it is extremely important, after this battle, almost no one in the Premier League can defend Manchester City's rule this season. At the same time, because Manchester City won this game, they won their twelfth consecutive Win in the Premier League this season, so manchester City has led Chelsea by 13 points, although Jurgen Klopp's Premier League Reds Liverpool are still eyeing it, but it is believed that Manchester City will not give them this opportunity.
Guardiola will eventually turn Manchester City into the Barca of yesteryear
In The history of Manchester City, the first 22 rounds of the game can achieve a high score of 56 points, which is the only season in the past Manchester City has achieved such an achievement, throughout the last five seasons, Manchester City under the leadership of Guardiola, enough to win four Premier League titles. Apart from Liverpool, who won 42 unbeaten matches, to have a chance to get involved once, Manchester City, the most serious in-house Premier League, has almost achieved a monopoly on the league title. After solving the problems within the Premier League in advance, Guardiola's sword will be directed at the Champions League, perhaps in Guardiola's eyes, he was able to lead Barca to the top of world football, and today he will lead Manchester City again to replicate the miracle at Barca. In the author's opinion, a strong team, perhaps the investment of the club occupies a very important position, but the top management of the club needs to have a long-term vision, since it is optimistic about a manager, it should be patient to let him slowly show his talents, endure fire for ten years, and finally become a sword.
