in the past two weeks there were two big games first was bayern munich playing against leverkusen and man city playing against chelsea . first off i will try to analyze man city chelsea game . before i write about the game let me talk about something first . i dont give stats any meaning but one stat is there which is very important is the rate of complete passes by each team and you could see that man city had the highest percentage of passes completed in the game . you can see in the game the type of chances that chelsea missed because the weight on the ball was not perfect and that is why the chance which was there was wasted . i had already said that to be tactically efficient you have to be technically world class and that is the difference between enzo fernandez and gallagher.
chelsea started the game with 4-3-3 while man city started the game with the same formation .there was news in the midweek where on gary neville called gaurdiola team not that pleasing to the eyes . to be honest although gary neville is stupid but i do concur that gaurdiola's atleast man city is not that pleasing to the eyes . man city are technically very good and are very good at keeping the ball but let me tell you they dont know as to what to do in the final third or near the box . gaurdiola's team can keep the ball but i havent seen them just open opposition defense at will or murder teams . the game started with man city dominating the possession and chelsea sitting back . there is isnt much in the game to write except cole palmer's performance . this kid was able to keep the ball and play some very good balls to release players in the space . had these chances been taken properly then the result would had been different .
while watching the game i was intrigued with some points which i want to write over here . chelsea must had practised as to how they are going to play against man city . just as they had practised defense didnt they practised offense so when they practised offense cant they get the players to practise proper weighted passes so as to make the play simpler and enable them to create more chances or finish the chances that were created . just look at the number of chances that chelsea created and how many were wasted because of the wrong passes. secondly there are instances where on players try to overdo things particularly the wingers and forwards . they could see that they could get close down by two players then they should just pass the ball instead of just trying to overdo it and trying to dribble those two players . there are many a things that need to improve for chelsea if they are to achieve something .
bayern played leverkusen, lazio and bochum in a week and lost to all . the idiots in the media had be questioning about kane's curse but none had been talking about touchel's tactic's . bayern under nagelsman was feared in europe . they were playing a very direct game and it was quite effective . touchel had just abandoned it altogether they are slow and one dimensional under touchel . he is struggling on both ends . let me just give you an example in match vs leverkusen adli was continously exploiting the space left by kim . touchel should had made the necessary adjustment as to close that gap that was left by kim . these are little adjustment that need to be done . he has not delivered on that and i am just reading the news that they are going to replace him next season.
