Midfielder.

Chapter 444

In football, the person who has the courage to make a change is not an idiot, then he is a smart person.

Mourinho is not an idiot, he understands what he is doing, so the change brought about by this match-up substitution is that Chelsea began to completely suppress the pulse of Manchester United in the midfield, preventing the opponent from moving.

Makelele is stronger than defense, but his offensive ability is almost negligible. Even for penalty kicks, Mourinho sometimes does not arrange him, because this guy's shooting and passing are too inaccurate.

Although Essien does not have any beautiful footwork, his performance in forcing a breakthrough and participating in the attack is indeed much better than Makelele, and Makelele has a yellow card on him. Mourinho is also worried that this old boy will not Let Manchester United be overshadowed and replace Essien, which is to exert strength on both offense and defense.

Makelele had no doubts about such a substitution. Compared with Van Nistelrooy's gloomy face when he was replaced, this guy seemed very relaxed about being replaced. He knew what the team was going to do.

This guy was still shaking the towel in his hand on the bench, and yelled loudly at his teammates on the field, "Hey, you guys, beat those red devils hard for me!"

This is Mourinho's ability to dominate the team, and no one will question the adjustments he makes.

In a strong confrontation, whoever takes the lead first will become the master of the field. Both Ferguson and Mourinho understand this, but at the beginning of the second half, it was Chelsea who took the lead.

Their substitution adjustments disrupted Manchester United's tactical deployment in the midfield, and Ferguson was also a little melancholy.

Just like in the opening stage, Manchester United could suppress Chelsea under Ferguson's wily calculations.

When Mourinho decided to attack hard in a ten-on-ten situation, he also took the lead.

Ferguson used his seasoned experience and flexible tactical arrangements to allow Manchester United to take the initiative in the opening stage, but now, under the influence of Mourinho's strength, Chelsea are launching a fierce attack.

It cannot be said that Chelsea's strength is higher than that of Manchester United, but in the contest of individual positions, Manchester United is indeed at a disadvantage, especially their defense line full of loopholes, which is frightening.

Ferguson's aggressive attack at the beginning was also to make up for this loophole, but now it seems that after Sylvester is off the field, their weakness is more obvious. The three defenders and the double midfielder are not stable.

Neville returned from injury, but his condition has not returned at all, let alone O'Shea. If there is a good substitute, Ferguson will definitely not let him start the game. The only one who can rest assured is Ferdinand.

But Ferdinand may not be able to support Chelsea's offensive frenzy, not to mention that he has to keep an eye on Drogba. Although Chelsea are not flying on both wings, Lampard and Gerrard are sure to take O'Shea and Neville hard. Under defensive pressure, Ferguson could only ask the midfielder to retreat as much as possible.

Not to give up the offense, but before considering their own offensive efficiency, they have to hold the goal.

Essien's playing completely broke the balance of the midfield. He pressed forward very fiercely. This is what Mourinho had already explained during the intermission. He should have played a long time ago, but Ferreira's red card made him This substitution has been delayed, but it's not too late now, Lin Yi just needs a strong helper to disrupt the opponent.

And not only Essien wants to help Lin Yi as much as possible, Mourinho has specially warned Lampard and Gerrard in the midfield, aiming at Manchester United's three-back formation and attacking, using two ribs.

Both of them have strong personal abilities. As long as there is a chance, Mourinho needs them to penetrate from the weakest position of Manchester United's defense. The two ribs in the penalty area will be fatal to the opponent.

It is impossible for Manchester United's current winger to return to defense in such a timely manner after a half-time impact.

Moreover, Ronaldo and Giggs are not the kind of full-backs who are both offensive and defensive, they are more inclined to attack.

It is to seize the gap where their retreat is slow, and attack the two ribs desperately. In order to avoid Chelsea's bottoming, the opponent's two full-backs are bound to extend the entire defense line very wide.

The openness means that they can't take care of too much. Lin Yi's passing makes them have some scruples. The more the defense line is extended, the more prominent their loopholes will be. These two guys will have a lot of opportunities.

Mourinho is going to use such a gap to fight fiercely. Didn't the old Scottish man specially prepare such a three-back formation for himself?So now it is time for Chelsea to beat these three defenders hard!

Targeted attack, Mourinho has always been the kind of person who is targeted. He either does not adjust, as long as he adjusts, then he must have caught a certain defect of the opponent, and let this madman catch such a Gap, you can still expect him to let you go?Isn't that just dreaming?

Mourinho's tactical arrangement can be said to be immediate. Essien's insertion put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's double midfielder tactics. Can you ignore such a fierce guy?Obviously not, but if you spread your manpower to mark Essien, then there will inevitably be loopholes in Lin Yi's mark.

This made Manchester United's defensive players very painful. In order to draw Essien's attention, Scholes even had to withdraw from the frontcourt to coordinate the defense in the middle, but this almost cut off the offense.

Without the support of the midfielder, Ronaldo and Giggs can create very limited storms, while Lu Xiaopang is faced with the situation that no one is delivering shells, let him break through with the ball to find opportunities?That's really hard.

Originally, Ferguson specifically told his players in the midfield that if they don't want to continue to be overwhelmed by the opponent in the second half, they must find a way in the offense, at least to restore the usual offensive momentum.

But before Ferguson's tactical arrangement could be realized, Mourinho's substitution broke his idea. Mourinho's aggressiveness to attack to the end made Manchester United have to give up their offense.

They had been able to suppress the opponent in the first half, so there was no reason to give up this madness in the second half.

No matter how strong the defensive line is, there will be a possibility of collapse. Mourinho was worried that his defense would be broken by the opponent half an hour ago. Now it is Ferguson's turn to worry about this terrible problem.

And Chelsea's offense will not be weakened in the slightest because of Manchester United's defense. If they decide to attack, they will continue to attack to the end. Don't forget, there is a little lunatic in their midfield.

Ferguson would never forget who was the most dangerous. Essien came on the field to unleash the offensive ability of that dangerous person, but the old man's loud reminder from the sidelines was not as fast as that kid.

From the moment Essien came on the field, Ferguson was worried that Chelsea's change of formation would cause trouble for him. He also thought about making substitutions and adjustments, but he really didn't have a suitable candidate for his thin bench.

Maybe now only Fletcher can play to deal with it, but it's just to deal with it.

But to replace this guy, it is necessary to replace the offensive player. In that case, Manchester United's offense will become weaker, and if it doesn't hurt the opponent, then I will definitely become the one who is hurt by the opponent.

Ferguson could only yell at his two wingers, asking Giggs and Ronaldo to take care of the two wings as much as possible, and don't let them become Chelsea's offensive corridor, but his reminder was not as fast as Chelsea's. Manchester United is still trying to adjust the formation, but the opponent has suddenly started.

A standard time difference, when Manchester United was trying to make up for their own gaps, Chelsea's steel knives were accurately inserted into the most deadly places, and the Red Devils were defeated in an instant.

The second half lasted less than 3 minutes, and when the Manchester United players were still thinking about how to fight Chelsea, Lin Yi made another comeback. His sudden start in the middle completely disrupted Manchester United's defense Level, this time by his side, and Essien helping.

Originally South Korea's Big Plaster and Keane were waiting to team up to attack Lin Yi, but this time it was not Lin Yi who rushed up with the ball, but Essien, the strong African who suddenly started after getting the ball from the midfield.

The strong Essien got rid of Scholes' entanglement in a very direct way, but this time he was not as greedy as usual, and passed the ball to Lin Yi in time, and Lin Yi's feet were also very fast, He quickly knocked Essien back, and then moved, and the two guys had a standard two-by-two.

Extremely fast, accurate passing, and timely movement. When these most basic things are connected together, it is a perfect offense. Two-for-two cooperation is very common, but there are not many such precise and fast ones.

Essien and Lin Yi have never played such a smooth cooperation during training, but today, driven by Lin Yi, Essien, who has always been a bit rough, also played with embroidery techniques.

The big Korean plaster was completely dumbfounded this time. Essien, Lin Yi, those two guys just dangled in front of him, and Park Zhixing found out very sadly that he didn't pay attention to anyone this time.

Lin Yi slipped past him, and Essien made an unreasonable crushing breakthrough. Keane's reaction was very fast, but facing the assault of two people, even if he was a god, he could only keep an eye on him. one.

However, he still chose his old friend Lin Yi, and he knew very well that that kid was the most dangerous.

But Keane still miscalculated this time. Lin Yi did not continue to dribble at the moment he received the pass. He used a very concealed movement to knock the ball directly behind him, and Essien sent a through ball to meet the ball.

Everything was going so fast, neither Keane nor Park Ji-sung had time to stretch out their feet to intercept, Essien's pass had already torn through Manchester United's defense, if you watch the replay of the camera, you will find how fast it is, as if everything After careful rehearsal, every movement is perfectly connected.

"My God, it only took four passes for Chelsea to break through the United defense! What the hell is going on! Where's our defender? The bloody pass has penetrated the central defense!"

The on-site commentator's yelling was loud enough, and he was also reminding the Manchester United players that you have been penetrated by others, but such a reminder seems to have no effect at this moment.

A perfect inverted triangle cooperation, but this time it was not completed after going down the wing. This is how Lin Yi and Essien completed the cooperation in front of the Manchester United penalty area. The opportunity to cut in, O'Shea became the biggest tragedy this time, and he failed directly for offside.

It was also because Essien's pass was so fast that O'Shea didn't have time to react. When he recovered, Lampard had already cut into the penalty area and had successfully received Essien's pass.

And O'Shea became the tragic man who was dragged at the end and failed to cause offside. He could only watch Lampard directly singled out Van der Sar. Although the Dutch goalkeeper had already abandoned the goal at this moment, he opened the door. His hands can only cover half of the goal, and cannot block all the openings.

This is also thanks to Van der Sar's height of 1.9 meters. If it were someone else, he might not be able to stop even half of it.

For a guy like Lampard who was able to enter the top three scorers last season, such a one-on-one match is not difficult. He even has the opportunity to choose the angle of the shot after cutting in, and he can aim for it.

Van der Sar had done his best, and those United fans watching from the stands could see that the Dutchman was outstretched, trying to block Lampard's shot angle, but in vain.

In front of the shooting distance of only seven or eight meters, his blocking looked very pale and weak, even a bit like a mansman's arms. Although he judged the direction of Lampard's shot, he was powerless to stop the football.

Calmly push the accurate angle, in front of Lampard, a half-open goal is enough for him to rewrite the score, when the football bypassed Van der Sar's fingertips and got into the net, Lampard De has already waved his fist and rushed towards his teammates, he was roaring wildly to celebrate this goal!

Not only Lampard was so excited, even Mourinho raised his right hand on the sidelines, stretched out his index finger, and pointed directly at the sky, while the group of Chelsea players hugged wildly and shouted loudly towards the surroundings , "We are the fucking strongest team! See this goal!"

This kind of roar was not only on the field, but also the Chelsea substitute players off the field. Although this was Old Trafford, at this moment, they were fearless.

Arrogant, provocative, every Chelsea player's face looks hideous, this is a group of beasts.

They don't know how to respect tradition. In their eyes, only victory is the most practical thing, and the rest is just floating clouds. What kind of "dream theater", what kind of rich and powerful scenery, all go to hell!
Now it's time for Chelsea, only us guys in blue uniforms are the strongest!see it?Goal is the best counterattack to you!Stop expecting us to lose!

We have won fourteen games in a row!This is fucking No.15!You look good!

The Premier League winning streak will continue under Chelsea's name until you feel hopeless!

One to zero, a score that is enough to hurt Manchester United's self-esteem. This damn game should have been controlled by them, but now, they have become the one behind. I really don't know how many people want to make that crime Sylvester pulled out and beat him up, venting his anger.

Anyway, Ferguson must have this plan, but he can't show such a gaffe in front of the camera, but many people can guarantee that Sylvester, that idiot, will definitely not have a good life.

When the game restarts, all Manchester United fans will find that they shouldn't just be annoyed by the damn score, because those Chelsea animals don't intend to stop there.

They need to make the score continue to expand, so these animals don't care whose home game it is.

As long as they can win, they are willing to do those things that make things worse. What's more, this time they are playing against an old enemy with old scores. It feels great to be able to steal the victory at the opponent's home court.

When Chelsea led [-]-[-], they played more easily, intercepting opponents in the midfield, and then counterattacked on the spot. This is the tactical arrangement that Mourinho told them on the sidelines, how to counterattack, such problems, never It's not something Chelsea players need to consider, because there is Lin Yi.

As long as that little lunatic is around, Chelsea's front line will always have enough ammunition to turn those accurate passes into deadly shots and destroy the opponent as much as possible.

The balance on the field was torn apart, and the glory of Old Trafford became very fragile in the face of Chelsea's mad attack. They really wanted to counterattack, but Chelsea's fierce interception prevented Manchester United from counterattacking. Even if Ferguson has been trying to reverse this passive situation, he replaced Fletcher, replaced Scholes, let Giggs return to the middle, and sacrificed the formation of three midfielders.

But all of this is very futile in the face of Chelsea's offensive frenzy, and it even feels more like a final struggle. Substitutions, adjustments, and loud roars can't arouse Manchester United's bravery, which is like steel in Chelsea. In front of the strangulation, the last sniper has fallen.

The 45-minute game in the second half was almost such a scene dominated by Chelsea's offense. The only thing that comforted Manchester United fans was that their Red Devils were not defeated again.

The score of [-]-[-] was maintained until the final whistle. At that moment, many Manchester United fans felt not a sigh, but a kind of relief. They finally don't have to worry about continuing to lose the ball.

But that group of lunatics in blue uniforms have already won [-] league games and retreated from the devil's home court. Is there anyone who can stop these lunatics now?Or ask God.

It is estimated that only the old man who likes to watch the excitement can know what will happen in the future. At least on this night, in England, the teams that can beat this group of animals have already been wiped out.

Maybe there is only one team in the Champions League that can stop their crazy winning streak, but these animals now look fearless, no matter who they are, they have the confidence to beat.

Such a team is absolutely terrifying. . .
