I'll put the link in the description first. Half of this game was very technical with both teams enjoying a similar amount of possession and practically neutralizing each other's game plans. Man City had a very complicated formation in this game and that made it quite difficult for Chelsea, especially in the first half, to contain. manchester

wing bags were trying to cover the two benches of the manchester city wing while n'golo kante played between the lines to cover the open spaces in midfield and this is where raheem came into play sterlina and taurus who were playing more like the two number 10s in this game, raheem sterlina and torus constantly dropped into the midfield to create an overload and make a 2v1 position against angola khande, this 2v1 position often she was forced in golocante to cover one of raheem's fighters, they are taurus and leave the other guy totally free to receive the ball from her center backs the three forwards are trying to pressure the three center backs of Manchester City and the full backs are trying from covering both Manchester City full-backs Billy Gilmore moves up to cover Rodrigo and Angolo Kante. playing between the lines billy gilmore moved up while angola kante played between the lines chelsea full backs were busy covering manchester city full backs often leaving angola kante in a 1v2 position against raheem sterlina and doris and man city were easily able to move the ball using that midfield man again, the three forwards are trying to put pressure on Manchester City's three center backs with billy gilmore also moving to cover rodrigo rodrigo took billy kilmore and raheem Sterling fell abruptly to get the attention of angolo kante and that means that taurus is now totally free to receive the ball from ederson thanks to that 2 on 1 position against Rangolo Kante since then, golocante was being outnumbered at midway, so that Chelsea decided to leave Rodrigo and Billy Gilmore was asked to stay with Angolo Kante. to cover for taurus so that angola kante could cover for raheem sterling teemo wonder was asked to look after rodrigo while billy gilmore was now tracking doris' runs but manchester city was still able to isolate angola kante as gabriel jesus now began to descend deep to maintain the same 1v2 position against Angola kante taurus takes billy gilmore and angola kante is once again in 1v2 position and gabriel jesus easily receives the ball and that is when thomas force decides to make another change to stop the midfield lord against rengolo kante chelsea decided to use rudiger to cover taurus every time he dropped in midfield antonio rudiger would leave his line to cover taurus and that way angolo kante could concentrate on raheem's fight with billy gilmour covering rodrigo again at the three forwards of the three midfield defenders that once was billy gilmore was again allowed to come up to cover rodrigo because rudiger is now leaving his line to cover torus with angolo kante covering him with sterling and this way chelsea can neutralize man city's overload by giving rudiger the license to come out of his defense. to cover the three midfielders of Manchester City and now Manchester City no longer has that overload and here we can see the complete image of Chelsea's formation without the ball, the three forwards pressed the three central defenders of Manchester City with the two rears covering.

Manchester City's two full-backs, Billy Gilmore, were trying to cover Rodrigo with Angola Kante and Raheem Sterling and Rudiger was asked to leave his line to cover Torus, but it didn't take long for Manchester City to break Chelsea's structure. manchester city under Guardiola mainly likes to dominate possession with short passes, but to break this Chelsea pressure structure Guadula had to change his style of play a little as Antonio Rudiger came off his line to cover Taurus and the full-backs moved in. They concentrated on covering the two Manchester City. The full-backs left a gap in Chelsea's defense that Gabriel Jesús and Agüero tried to exploit and Manchester City tried to exploit those spaces in defense by playing long passes for the first time from defense, which is not what we normally see in a team. directed by pep guardiola alonso is eliminated by gonzalo and rudiger is eliminated by tauro and ruben diaz immediately tries to release gabriel jesus in the open space ruben d has gabriel jesus who throws the ball into the path of tauro to attack the open space in the chelsea defense and now manchester city has a 2 on 2 position on the counterattack and taurus should have done better and this was manchester city's pattern of play for the rest of the game, there are long passes over the top that chelsea found very difficult to deal with again Taurus is dropping in the midfield and is forcing Roediger to come off his line to open up space in the defense and Rubén Díaz immediately tries to release Gabriel Jesús into the space behind Rudiger again.

Rudiger was taken out and Man City once again have a 2v2 position at the back and that's how Manchester City scored the first goal and Rudiger came out again to cover Taurus and Manchester City now have a position back andreas christensen was unable to clear the ball and Manchester City scored the first goal of the match already that Antonio Rudiger was being dragged off his line, so to help Rudiger, Thomas Tucker decided to leave one in midfield to cover Rodrigo and thus Billy. gilmore and angolo kante could concentrate on taurus and raheem sterlina and antonio rudiger could stay in their line teemo wonder is now dropping in the midfield to cover rodrigo and that way billy gilmore and angolo kante could easily cover tauro and raheem sterlina what It helped Rudiger stay on defense and that's why the first half of this game was so

tactical

as both coaches were making change after change to react to the opponent's movement.

The first half was a very

tactical

game, you could feel that we were a little tired and a little slow. in the decision making, a lot of changes on their part, a lot of changes on our part, so the game was a bit stagnant tactically, Manchester City could have easily had a two goal lead at half time, but Aguero's cheap mistake meant City only led by a goal at half-time and then the game totally changed in the second half as Manchester City found it very difficult to deal with the much improved intensity of Chelsea's play. City without the ball mostly had a 5131 formation, so Agüero often found himself outnumbered against Chelsea's double pivot, which made it quite easy for Chelsea to move the ball through the middle, so that at times manchester city's wild fingers often approached agüero to help him against the overlord, but that left chelsea's white centre-backs completely free to receive the ball during the construction phase here we can see in formation 5131 of the Manchester City without the ball, City's wingers narrow to help Agüero against the overlord and now Chelsea can easily build the play using their white centre-backs.

Christian Pulisic lets the dream fall and drags. nathanae off his line to open the space in the defense that angola kante immediately tries to exploit the christian policy takes out ak and that james takes out mandy and that opens the passing lane for the explainer to pick angolo kante in the open space rhys james is not completely free to cross the ball into the area, this time Raheem Sterling comes out to cover the explainer and Billy Gilmore runs into the wide area to take Gundugan away and that opens the passing lane for Exliqueta to pass the ball to Georgini Chelsea moving the ball.

Right through the middle of the field with such ease, Manchester City's three defenders kept a very tight man marking Chelsea's three forwards, so in the second half Chelsea decided to push their full-backs very high with the wingers at slight. dropping into midfield and forcing the Manchester City centre-backs to come off their line to open up spaces in the defense for the Chelsea full-backs to attack Race James especially did a wonderful job against Benjamin Mendy Reese James took on Wendy in a position 1v1 on eight different occasions and only twice was Mendy able to stop priest james while the other six times reese james was able to easily dribble past manly and golo kante had a very important role yesterday nathan alias and benjamin mendy kept a very tight marking christian politics and race james so chelsea tried to use that man marking to take the two defenders out of their defense to open up the space in man city's defense which was mainly exploited by angola gandhi christian polisseni takes ak and rich james takes mandy and that opens the passing lane for aspiration to choose angulo kante in the open space vs james is now totally free to cross the ball into the area here again christian pulisic serves ak and angolo kante is once again the man to attack open space while receiving the ball from race james this was without a doubt the

best

tactical

battle

of the

season

, it actually felt like a chess game with one coach making a move and the other coach reacting immediately to neutralize the move from the first manager who has now won thomas tucker consecutive matches against pep guardiola and it is safe to say that we will also see many technical details in the champions league final.
