Chapter 658: Chelsea is stronger than in history

　　 Manchester City can qualify for the first round of the group ahead of schedule, which is something that many people did not expect before the start of this season. After all, his team also has a Champions League strong team like Real Madrid.

If Manchester City’s performance in the Champions League last season was a complete rookie, after Gao Bo took over this season, Manchester City’s performance in the Champions League has been improved. The victory over Real Madrid in the two scenes has allowed Manchester City to advance. The basis for first in the group in one round.

　　 In the eyes of Manchester City fans, it is enough for the team to make it to the knockout stage of the Champions League.

In the league, they put Manchester United on their feet. In the Champions League, they also qualified one round ahead of the group, while the Manchester United group was a bit struggling. They first lost to Cluj by a zero to one at home and then went away. Lost to Galatasaray zero to one.

　　 Both the first and second rounds of the Champions League group stage were lost, which immediately made Manchester United's qualifying situation precarious.

Fortunately, in the last three rounds, Manchester United has won nine points in a row and ranked second behind Galatasaray who got 10 points. In the last round, they will have a life and death battle with Galatasaray. Manchester United lost, they may have difficulty even qualifying-because Cluj scored seven points behind Manchester United, the last round they played against Braga, the weakest in the group.

　　 Manchester City locked the group first in the first round, and Manchester United was in danger of being out in the final round.

　　 Such a comparison, Manchester City fans naturally feel proud.

　　...

　　 Gao Bo is not surprised that the team can qualify first in the group, he knows the strength of the team, it is not surprising that the first qualify in the group.

　　 In the Premier League, Manchester City can suppress Manchester United in the standings, which has already demonstrated the strength of the team.

　　 And he knows Real Madrid very well, and being able to draw a group with Real Madrid is undoubtedly very beneficial to Manchester City. Gao Bo knows how to deal with Real Madrid, he is too familiar with this team.

　　 The real test is after entering the top sixteen, that is, after the knockout.

The sixth round of the group stage will be held two weeks later, but that game is of little significance to Manchester City. It has already advanced to the group first. In the away game against the Celtics, Gao Bo does not intend to let the main players play. A game is considered to be training.

　　 is the knockout round, but the knockout round will have to wait until mid-February next year. There are still more than three months away from now. So now Gao Bo will not consider the knockout round. It will be fine when the group stage is over and the draw result comes out.

　　 What he considers is the league, this is the root!

　　 This season's league championship, Gao Bo is bound to win.

　　 However, winning a championship in the Premier League is much more difficult than in La Liga.

　　 In the thirteenth round of the league, Manchester City will usher in the biggest test since the start of this season!

　　 They are going to play Chelsea away! !

　　......

　　 Gao Bo never dared to underestimate Mourinho, this time Mourinho is in charge of Chelsea as well.

　　 After watching most of Chelsea's games this season, Gao Bo has a general understanding of Mourinho's Chelsea.

　　 Defense is still the soul of Mourinho's tactics, but when facing different teams, Mourinho's defense is not the same.

　　 Mourinho's current Chelsea team's main formation is roughly switched between the two formations of 4321 and 4312.

　　 After these two years of defeat at Real Madrid, Mourinho seems to have carried out a deeper reform of his football thinking.

　　 He pays more attention to defense! !

No matter which team he is playing against, he always has a three midfielder formation. The difference is that sometimes Mourinho will use a single forward, which is a 4321 formation, and in some games he will be a double forward, which is 4312.

　　Although the two formations are different, the tactical thinking is the same, that is, they pay great attention to defense. Mourinho's team will only plan the offensive when they ensure that they do not lose the ball.

Gao Bo has watched many of Mourinho's games this season. He has to admit that at Chelsea, Mourinho has built a team that is stronger than when he was at Real Madrid-from the perspective of individual players' abilities , Chelsea’s lineup will not be more luxurious than Real Madrid, but in terms of the degree of team integration, Mourinho’s Chelsea and Mourinho’s Real Madrid are not the same!

　　 Now this Chelsea team reminds Gao Bo of the team that Mourinho led Inter Milan to win the Triple Crown.

　　 At that time, Inter Milan also often put up a 4312 formation.

　　Motta, Cambiasso, Zanetti, these are the three midfielders often used by Mourinho, and in front of them, Sneijder, Sneijder is Eto'o and Milito!

　　 Such a lineup is extremely solid on the defensive end, and on the offensive end, Sneijder's counterattack efficiency with Eto'o and Milito is also shocking.

　　 Chelsea now also has a lineup not worse than Inter Milan.

Goalkeeper Cech, the back line is Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, David Luiz, Ashley Cole ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Ramirez, Mikel, Kanter, and in front of them, Mourinho sometimes uses Lampard, sometimes he also uses Oske and Mata, and then the striker. The striker combination Chelsea can provide is Drogba and Dembaba. , And Torres!

　　 Ramirez, Kanter, Mikel, three players composed of three midfielders, can be said to be the ultimate defensive end, especially Kanter, Gao Bo understands Kanter's strength.

　　 On the offensive end, this Chelsea team also has many methods. In addition to counterattacks, Lampard's long shots and the crosses from Ashley Cole and Ivanovic are also very threatening.

　　Because Chelsea has a combination of Drogba and Denver!

　　 Chelsea, who has a solid defense and a sharp offense, also has a cross in a positional attack. It has to be a headache.

　　 It can be said that the biggest opponent to compete with Manchester City for the championship this season, except for Manchester United, is Chelsea!

　　 Mourinho did not return to Chelsea after a few seasons, but returned to the team when Chelsea was the strongest. This makes Chelsea stronger than they were in their original history!

　　 So, during this time, Gao Bo has been discussing the game against Chelsea with the coaching staff.

　　 Chelsea are very strong, but Manchester City is absolutely impossible to say that they have surrendered-Manchester City is now at the top of the list, and Manchester City will not be afraid of their opponents.

　　 But in tactics, Gao Bo still attaches great importance to Chelsea.

　　 This is a stronger team than in previous history, so Manchester City can't help but take it lightly.
