"This is the first time Mancini has played 4-3-3, but players like Silva and Milner are more midfielders. I am really worried that such a change will cause Manchester City to be in chaos."
"In fact, it can also be understood as finding a way out for yourself. Even if he loses this game, Mancini can also say that he chose to change his formation in order to defeat Chelsea, but he still failed."
"Hehe! This is also a reason."
"Okay, the players from both sides have already entered the stadium. Those wearing blue uniforms are the Chelsea team playing at home, and those wearing white uniforms next to them are the Manchester City team visiting Stamford Bridge."
"This should be Manchester City's third away jersey. On the white jersey, there are two black and red lines slanting down, just like the red ribbon that our Chinese model workers wear when receiving awards."
"It's a bit interesting. Let me continue to introduce to you the starting lineup of the home team today. Ancelotti also arranged a 4-3-3 formation for this game, with goalkeeper No. 1 Petr Cech.
The four defenders from right to left are No. 24 Azpilicueta, No. 4 David Luiz, No. 26 Terry, and No. 3 Ashley Cole.
Midfielder No. 8 Essien,
The two central midfielders are No. 8 Lampard and No. 10 Toni Kroos.
The forward trident is No. 7 Xiao Yu, No. 9 Torres and No. 21 Salomon Kalu. "
"Anelka and Drogba both sat on the bench, as well as Azpilicueta, De Bruyne, Kante and Malouda. I have to lament the depth of Chelsea's current lineup."
"Chelsea can definitely field two first-class starting lineups. If you think about this lineup carefully, the defending champion is indeed worthy of it."
The game started with a whistle from referee Foy, and the first to kick off was the visiting Manchester City team.
However, today Manchester City chose to play it safe and did not choose to attack at the beginning. They seemed not to panic at all. The players kicked each other backwards to attract Chelsea's formation to press on.

In the 17th minute of the game, Azpilicueta completed a precise steal near the midline. He was as quick and sharp as a cheetah hunting, taking the ball away from Barry's feet.
