Vesper 30,186 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Chelsea: Three key clashes in the match against Manchester City https://theprideoflondon.com/2020/06/23/chelsea-three-key-clashes-in-the-match-against-manchester-city/ In Chelsea’s upcoming match against Manchester City, there will be some key clashes to look forward to. These key clashes could determine the match. Thursday’s match against Manchester City will be an interesting one. There could be some really good clashes between the two clubs. N’Golo Kante going up against Kevin De Bruyne will be one of the more important key clashes to this match. Cesar Azpilicueta against Raheem Sterling will be another good one. And finally, how Mason Mount deals with Kyle Walker. N’Golo Kante vs. Kevin De Bruyne This is one of the most important clashes in the match. Kante is arguably the best center defensive midfielder in the world. De Bruyne, on the other hand, is arguably the best center attacking midfielder in the world. Both Kante and De Bruyne are their teams’ best players. Kante’s amazing defending ability and speed will be key to stopping De Bruyne from running City’s attack. The City attacker’s incredible passing ability is what sets up many of Manchester City’s goals. Depending on how well Kante locks up De Bruyne could be what decides the outcome of this match. snip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomiswave 6,117 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 We must play Kante as DM again, he did so well vs Villa mopping everything out. Go strong from the get go, be compact and murder them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,490 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Think we should be lining up like this Kepa; Reece Rudiger Zouma Azpi; Kante Kovacic Mount; Pulisic Willian Abraham Alabama 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pep's players are notoriously known for their press and expertise in blocking off channels. For goodness sake, we saw even against Villa how Kante struggled to create space for himself to allow a transition from defence to attack.

The last time Kante played sitting DM against a big team we were 3 down at half time. City will bait him into vacating his position to press and it will carnage, and that won't even be the biggest problem. If you see Kante's thread Nikki posted a clip where we were struggling to play out against Villa because Kante wasn't taking up the appropriate positions for a pass and this was against one of the worst sides in the league who weren't bothering to press us, imagine how it will go against City? Also as i'm assuming Tomori won't be starting we won't be playing with a technically astute CB which makes Jorginho or Gilmour (possibly both) an even bigger must. Furthermore Kante's been fine against the big sides at RCM, these type of games aren't where the current issues with him lie.

City will press no matter the condition and players, and if he can help the defence out then why not? Lets be honest this defence and the way they are setup gives us all nightmares, he could be a huge help vs city.

I would love to see Billy Kova and Kante in midfield in this game Because if he's infront of the defense we won't be able to play out effectively and the ball will keep coming back at us and eventually with all that pressure they'll crack us even if Kante has his best ever game. I can accept losing to City but i can't and won't accept more games like 17/18 where they toyed with us and we couldn't string any proper moves together.

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I'd try a midfield three of Kante/Jorginho/Kovacic. Mount at RW and Pulisic at LW Supermonkey92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
