Chapter 118 Fight Back
When Manchester United replaced an attacker, replaced a central defender, recovered the defense, and waited for an opportunity to counterattack, it was difficult for Chelsea to pose any threat to Manchester United's goal for a while.
Because Manchester United is playing one less player now, it seems natural when they do this.
Chelsea originally planned to use their superiority in numbers to strengthen their offensive and try to expand the score before the end of the first half.But Manchester United chose to shrink their defense.When Smalling came on the field, he passed on Ancelotti's request to the players on the field.
Ancelotti hopes that before the end of the first half, he will not concede again! !
As for things like overtaking the score, it is best to save it for the second half.Playing one less player is not a joke. If the two sides open up their stances to attack, Chelsea, who play one more player, will undoubtedly have an advantage!
However, Manchester United's recovery of defense is not as simple as accumulating numbers in the penalty area and posing a passive posture.Manchester United's defensive organization is very three-dimensional and flexible. And very hard.
As long as the football passes halftime, it will be very difficult for Chelsea to continue to pass forward.
It can be seen from Fabregas' expression how depressed the Chelsea players are now.
"Another foul!! Di Maria reached out and pulled Cesc Fabregas down!!"
"The content of the game during this period is fouls, falling to the ground, and the whistle sounds. It's like fragments, and they can't be connected at all."
"This is the eighth time Fabregas has been fouled. As the organizer of Chelsea's midfield, Fabregas obviously received special treatment from Manchester United players."
In fact, it's not just Cesc Fabregas, as long as the football passes halftime, any Chelsea player will be subject to such strict and tough marking.
In fact, the player who really received "special treatment" was Diego Costa.
There is no doubt that Diego Costa's behavior has completely angered Manchester United's players.Now Diego Costa basically doesn't dare to stay away from Manchester United's penalty area.Because as long as he appears in a less critical position, the Manchester United players will directly shovel over.
In fact, if Diego Costa is tougher, maybe Manchester United will have nine players to fight now, but there is another possibility that he Diego Costa was shoveled and left the field
This is of course not worthwhile in Costa's view. After all, he is a powerful striker who can score goals, so how could he miss the game.
Diego Costa thought for granted.Therefore, he only moves in and around Manchester United's penalty area-because if he fouls in these places, Manchester United players know what it means, either it will give Chelsea a penalty kick, or it will be another one that can create a lot of murder. Direct free kick.Although the Manchester United players are angry, they are not stupid.
If Chelsea’s offense is smooth, Costa is a center forward, and it’s okay for him to stand in the penalty area, but now it is difficult for Chelsea to pass through the midfield. Diego Costa is standing in Manchester United’s penalty area. Just out of touch with the rest of the Chelsea players behind him.
Manchester United shrunk their defense, but they were not without opportunities to attack.
Since Mata is now off the field, Manchester United's offense mainly relies on simple long-pass counterattacks. Although not many people have been invested, it once threatened Chelsea's goal.
In the 30th minute of the game, Herrera cut off the ball at Oscar's feet and made a long pass directly behind the right side of Chelsea's defense.
On that side, Di Maria was very fast, he grabbed the ball before Ivanovic, then made a feint to try to trick the opponent and break through, but Ivanovic was unmoved .
Di Maria has already sensed the news that Matic is coming, and now he has to pass the football, otherwise, when Matic kills and double-teams with Ivanovic, the chance of this counterattack will be lost. Gone.
Before he had time to adjust, he hoisted the ball directly into Chelsea's penalty area with his right foot.
Terry and Gary Cahill, plus another defender Azpilicueta recovered from the other side, have all received the penalty area to compete with Li Qingshan for the high-altitude ball.
The two central defenders were responsible for physical confrontation with Li Qingshan and interfered with his header, while Azpilicueta retracted and prepared to grab the second point.
Now that there is only Li Qingshan in Chelsea's penalty area, Chelsea's defensive strength should be sufficient to deal with it.
Li Qingshan also knows this. Although he is sure to grab the first point, it is difficult to directly complete the header. Under the obstruction of Terry and Gary Cahill, he wants to directly shake his head and break through the opponent's goal. The possibility of this is too low. After all, there is only one point in the penalty area now, and the opponent's defense can be focused.
Li Qingshan firmly occupied the position of taking off and competing for the top, while thinking about countermeasures.
After Mata left the field, the area on the right was all handed over to Valencia.Fortunately, Valencia is also a winger, and his offensive ability is also very strong.
After Herrera steals the ball, Valencia has already realized that this is a good opportunity to counterattack, so he ran hard to the frontcourt. If the speed of a single round is concerned, Valencia may be the fastest in the [-]-meter field. player, so he quickly ran through the half.
Although Herrera's long ball missed his route, he didn't back away from it. He turned a corner and continued to run towards Chelsea's penalty area.
For Li Qingshan, there is not much time left for him to think, he has to take off now - even if the probability of directly heading the ball into the opponent's goal is low, but if there is no other possibility, he still has to try , isn't it?
Just when he was about to take off, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Valencia's running position! !
"Di Maria passed the ball!! The ball was high and long, and Li Qingshan had already run into the penalty area. Although Li Qingshan had a good header, but he wanted to be in this isolation, and Di Maria's pass The ball doesn't allow him to borrow power."
Just when the commentators were not optimistic about Li Qingshan's forced jump to compete for the top, another Manchester United player appeared in the camera's lens.
“Valencia!!!”
Amidst the surprised voices of the commentators, Li Qingshan headed the ball to Valencia at the top of the penalty area.
And Valencia has already raised its bow and arrow at this time! !
"Valley!!!"
boom! ! ! !
The football is like a shooting star, flying towards Chelsea's goal.
Courtois flies up and flicks the ball with his fingers.
However, his heart is [-]%!
When he turned his head to look, the football was already lying on the goal behind him and beating.
In the 30th minute of the game, Manchester United scored again.Chelsea are one to two behind! !
