Italian football is famous for its defense, so it always gives the world a sense of being law-abiding. Italian coaches also have a stereotyped impression, but this is just an illusion. At least, Ancelotti is not stereotyped.

Whether in AC Milan or Chelsea now, Ancelotti has shown strong adaptability. In other words, he can always find ways to play the cards in his hands to the extreme. The grand occasion of the four top ten in the Milan era playing at the same time is Ancelotti's most talked about. Chelsea this season also benefited from Ancelotti's ability. Not anyone can compete with Ferguson Wenger and others as soon as he arrives in the Premier League, even if he coaches a giant.

But even so, Ancelotti was not arrogant.

so……

When Ancelotti suddenly realized that his opponent was not Ferguson, Wenger, or Benitez, but a Chinese named Linsen, he admitted that he was indeed a little surprised. Before coming to England, he never thought that one day he would have to fight a coach under 30 to the top, and it was after more than a dozen rounds.

However, although it is unexpected, this does not mean that Ancelotti is despising Linson and his Manchester City.

Although Ancelotti's impression of Linson is not very good, it is at least not bad, just like the relationship between Chelsea and Manchester City.

To put it absolutely, the enemies of both clubs are both the old pattern of the Premier League. Although Chelsea has now become one of the new pattern of the Premier League, for veteran teams such as Manchester United and Liverpool, Chelsea has never been an ally. Therefore, the two clubs with no conflicts in history, and the similarity of their rise methods, compared with other clubs, the relationship is definitely not bad.

Of course, relationships are limited to off-field. On the court, both sides still need to show their true meanings under their feet.

Ancelotti lost only two games this season, but neither is a strong team. Once, Wigan and the other is Aston Villa, they are both unpopular. In the confrontation with the strong team, Ancelotti's record has won all the best so far. Whether it is Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez, Redknapp, they can't get a little advantage from him. Linson will be the last opponent to complete the "kill" against all the strong teams in the first leg of the league.

So, how could Ancelotti underestimate Manchester City, which has remained unbeaten this season?

For Lin Sen, who has just returned from Madeira Island, Portugal for only two days, he is far more than two days in preparation for Chelsea. Although he has not yet won the starter, most of Chelsea's starters in this game are actually not difficult to predict.

Goalkeeper Cech, Ashley Cole, Tri, Carvalho and Ivanovic lined up in line with the back line, and the midfield is the most enviable four King Kong Essin, Barack, Lampard and Deco, and Anelka and Drogba are partnered on the forward line. Four and four, balanced offense and defense, and good offense and defense... This is the starting lineup that Ancelotti has set for Chelsea after a brief running-in. Whether it is the game against Manchester United or the game against Liverpool, Ancelotti is the starting lineup.

In the last round against Arsenal, although Ancelotti made two adjustments to this starting lineup, that is, Mikel and Jocco replaced Barack and Deco, who were more balanced in offense and defense with one offense and one defense, and also won a big victory, Linson did not think he would continue these two adjustments in today's game. The reason is very simple, because Manchester City does not have Fabregas. The purpose of Ancelotti made such adjustments to Arsenal is to limit Fabregas, just as Linson used Vidal to limit Fabregas before.

Less than a minute after Given saved Drogba's shot, Given faced the second test.

It was Deco, the Portuguese passed the ball over the top. Drogba saw that he had no chance to control the ball under David Luis's care, so he directly chose to turn the ball to the front of the penalty area. At this time, Kompany was restrained by Arnell, while the two midfielders Vidal and De Jong were closely watching the opponent's Barack and Lampard. No one noticed that Ivanovic would suddenly enter from the back row at this time.

The Manchester City defender in the penalty area could only watch Ivanovic make a shot without any interference. At this time, Jiwen once again showed his excellent reaction, but he saved Ivanovic's shot, but the ball fell to Anelka's feet without death.

Kompani didn't have time to make a defensive move, and Anelka had already accepted the gift with a smile.

One to zero. Chelsea took the lead in breaking the game deadlock.

Looking at the cheers from Chelsea fans in the east stand, Lin Sen's face was calm on the sidelines. It was a little earlier to concede the ball in the seventh minute. However, Manchester City still had enough time to equalize the score and even surpass the score. Disappointment is inevitable, but there is no need for nervousness and impatience. What's more, the problem with the goal just now is not Manchester City's defense. It can only be said that Ivanovic is too thief.

Originally, Bell had already suppressed Ivanovic, but now it seems that this rain has indeed had an impact on the Welsh people.

Lin Sen called out Robben, who was closest to him, and whispered to him in a low voice, saying that it was not only for Robben, but also for Bale. Lin Sen asked Robben and Bale to cross-over attack from time to time, further putting pressure on Ivanovic. He could not let an opponent's full-back always shoot from the front of the goal without any hesitation.

The game started again, Manchester City, who lost the ball, was even more determined by the shouts of home fans. In the eleventh minute, the nineteenth minute, the twenty-eighth minute, and the thirty-seventh minute, Manchester City forced the opponent's goalkeeper Cech to make a wonderful save. Faced with Manchester City's aggressive momentum, Ancelotti's face on the sidelines still had an easy-going and calm expression, but in Lin Sen's eyes, Ancelotti had obviously had a hint of solemnity on his body.

What made Ancelotti solemn was not Manchester City's offense, but Chelsea lacked the due response to Manchester City's offense. After that goal, after the opponent's crazy counter-snatch, he could not afford to organize a decent attack. This is not what Ancelotti wanted to see.

Sure enough, just as Ancelotti was thinking about how to change, the situation suddenly changed.

Manchester City launched a counterattack, and Ivanovic, who rushed to the frontcourt to participate in the attack again, failed to keep up with Bale's pace this time. After Bale passed the ball to David Silva, he realized that the wrong thing was that Essin was decisively preparing for a tactical foul, but his foul did not stop David Silva from passing it to Adriano. The referee continued to attack based on the principle of favorable attack.

Adriano, who was pulled to the left, attracted Carvalho to leave the penalty area and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Robben, who was inserted in the back row, shot before Terry. Facing this shot that was directly hung to the far point, Cech was powerless.
