Pellegrini: We always dominate Chelsea

He said: “No, it was just a decision”.

“Zouma is the fastest defender we have in the squad”. Manchester City is not going to hold back this Sunday and will put all the weight of its formidable offensive trident behind its relentless attacks. They flew straight off to Canada, and played three games in the US, none of which was particularly impressive.

The goal was a thing of a beauty, as Aguero wriggled free in a tight area and made Gary Cahill and Terry look like statues.

Such was Mourinho’s concern that he substituted Terry – the first time that has happened in 177 matches as Chelsea manager.

“John is a player I have total trust for”. I don’t think he was properly focused and we have spoken about that.

“All in all, it was a comfortable day, but mainly because we did everything right in preparation for this game“. “If the 1-0 was a doubtful result at minute 70, 3-0 is completely fake”. “They looked some way short against Fiorentina in their last pre-season game and again against Swansea on Saturday”, he added.

Jose Mourinho’s desired Chelsea dynasty won’t build or destroy itself but he must unstick the Blues, whom a refreshed Manchester City overran on Sunday at the Etihad, in order to take them to higher and further into the future.

Don’t get me wrong – when the buzzer goes in the dressing room for the players to go on to the pitch it’s all about running through a brick wall for the manager and doing a job for the team. It was a great performance. We have had a lot of criticism but we are always the most scoring team.

City have won their opening two games of the season 3-0 and are already five points ahead of Chelsea.

Pellegrini said: “In football, nothing is significant until the end of the season”.

Standard Sport brings you live coverage of Chelsea’s trip to Manchester City!

With a shaky midfield and unstable defense, a classy City made light work of last season’s champions, as Aguero and co mounted a credible title challenge.

Last season’s top scorer, Sergio Aguero, is in contention to start at the Etihad, after he had to make do with a spot on the bench against West Brom.

Sergio Aguero scored the first, Vincent Kompany had the second, and this goal by Fernandinho capped off the match.
