You know, the winning streak of 1 1 in the history of the Premier League is only 1, which was completed by Liverpool in the 20 13/ 14 season. It is worth mentioning that Kong Di won 14 league games in his first 17 league games, which has never been done by anyone in the history of Chelsea 100 years.
The question is, what is Kong Di's secret?
In the past 1 1, only two goals were conceded.
At present, the number of goals scored by Chelsea (35) ranks only the third among the top four (in the first round), one more than that of Manchester City, but in terms of goals conceded in 1 1, it ranks with Tottenham (16) as the team with the least goals conceded.
Kong Di's team hasn't hit the bottom yet this season. From the fourth round to the sixth round, the result was one draw and two losses, 2-2 draw with Swansea, 1-2 loss to Liverpool, and 0-3 bloodbath to Arsenal. But apart from these three games, Kong Di has never lost 1 point in other games.
If the first three consecutive victories are the three fires after the new official took office (the first two were simply won in the final stage), then the real transformation of Chelsea began after the losing streak.
After entering 10, Kong Di made some changes to the formation of the team. The accustomed 4 guards have become more 3 guards. More importantly, Kong Di put more emphasis on the balance between offensive and defensive in consciousness, even willing to sacrifice the advantages of the scene and pursue efficiency more.
As the champion team in the first group, the ball control rate of five consecutive games (1 1) was less than that of their opponents, among which Tottenham, Southampton and Crystal Palace were obviously weaker than their opponents, and the ball control rate even fell below 40% in the 3- 1 victory over Manchester City. On the other hand, Chelsea's possession rate in the first six rounds (including two losses and one draw) was all dominant.
In the face of weak travel, only 3 points are required.
Face up to the enemy and fight hard.
It is said that Kong Di is not like the traditional Italian coach, he is more aggressive and radical, but after the setbacks at the beginning of the season, Kong Di learned from the bitter experience and began to take a more pragmatic road.
1 1 Four of the winning streak are 1-0, and all of them have played in the last six games (the last three games are 1-0). The highest ranked of these four opponents is West Brom, who just won the Crystal Palace, and is close to the relegation zone. Kong Di doesn't care how the weak team can get the 3 points he deserves in a relatively safe and economical way.
Interestingly, in the face of direct champion competitors and strongmen, Kong Di showed great aggression.
Against Manchester United, the blitzkrieg was launched in the first 30 seconds, and against Manchester City, the opponent was crushed with a strong body. The two games were 4-0 and 3- 1 respectively. At this time, Kong Di didn't want to see it at all. He wants to completely destroy his opponent tactically and psychologically. It's inhuman. Facing all this, Mourinho couldn't help but pull out Kong Di's words after the game.
No one knows exactly what Mourinho and Kong Di said (the media said: It's 4-0 now, it's a shame for us to encourage the audience), but Kong Di knows that no one can influence what he wants to do. "Everyone says I'm an animal, right?"
Flexibility and creativity have surpassed Mu Shuai.
At the beginning of the season, the media once thought that "Kong Di is the poor version of Mourinho". Now it seems that his most hearty opponent is Magic Bird, plus Guardiola, who is equally famous with Magic Bird, and Pochettino, who rose suddenly last season, failed to beat him.
Kong Di has the shadow of a magical bird. He emphasized the team's running ability. Devil-like training allows players to extend their fighting to every corner of the stadium. His utilitarianism from time to time is just like the magic bird. However, Kong Di's tactical flexibility and bold changes seem to make Mourinho sigh.
Some people may say that Guardiola is a wise man who can come up with new ideas and things from time to time, but how can Guashuai see the ferocity of animals in Kong Di? You know, in the away game in Manchester City, the backward Chelsea was reversed by Kong Di's roar and wave.
At present, a 9-point lead in the first round means that Kong Di's team has locked in the top spot before Christmas. You know, Chelsea ranked first in the Premier League four times before Christmas and finally won the championship this season. What is even more frightening is that this team now shows the stability that its predecessors did not have. You wouldn't be surprised if Kong Di won the championship and more records at the end of this season.
