City overcame Chelsea`s concrete

Blog of 24 football tips

Manchester City continued his way to the title after winning Chelsea`s 1-0 home. The only goal was Bernardo Silva at the very beginning of the second half. Londoners relied on an extremely defensive tactic that gave the result before the break when largely neutralizing the opponent`s offensive players. The strange thing was that after the goal, Conte`s team did not take the lead, continued to play cautiously until the end and logically left to defeat Etihad. Chelsea finished the match without a straight shot in the outline of the opponent`s door, which is the first time this season.

`Citizens` have an 18-point lead on top of second Liverpool and are already calculating the exact date they will secure their title. Chelsea`s situation is rather complicated. The Blues are now losing five points from the fourth Tottenham and their chances to play in the Champions League next season are beginning to decline with each round.




Chelsea went out to Etihad with the idea of not allowing a goal and by the middle of the first half he successfully managed to attack Manchester City`s attempts. Guardiola`s team had a tremendous advantage in knowing the ball, but the defensive lines of the guests were able to resist them. Still, City managed to threaten Courtois`s door. After 20 minutes Leroy Sane broke, the ball reached Aguero, who found Bernardo Silva, and his shot went just over the door. Later on, Aspilikuta had to kill the goal. Sane received the ball from De Bourne, mastered her and fired. Curtoa was overcome, but the Spanish defender took the position of the goal and managed to prevent the attack.




At the very beginning of the second part, the whole tactical conception of the Conte collapsed. 35 seconds after the game via football livescores resumed, David Silva centered alongside the goal and Bernardo Silva caught the ball on the far beam. After the goal Chelsea briefly attempted to take the lead, but generally played the same way, waiting for the right moment.

In view of the tactics of the Londoners, the match was devoid of beautiful plays and worthwhile football moments. City held the ball and played it calmly, and with a run of minutes he refused to attack much, and his rival did not endanger Courtois at all.

Eden Hazard was totally isolated in the front row, playing the ball several times throughout the game. At the end of the match, the rain was raining, and both teams showed little desire to play. The hosts were pleased with the outcome, and Conte`s team seemed unlikely he could achieve anything.
