Chapter 434 The battle for supremacy, the blue army with a strong counterattack

Christmas carols were blared from the stands at Old Trafford, with Manchester United fans revising some of the lyrics and celebrating with singing and dancing.

Although it is suspected of losing character, it is too early to be happy, but it may not be a way to put psychological pressure on Chelsea.

Manchester United's offensive and defensive system is getting better and better. Before Chelsea can't play better results, Manchester United's defense can withstand Chelsea's offensive without new changes.

"We have been saying that under Antonio Conte Chelsea's strongest defense is the counter-attack, and the winger tactics scare European football, but there is also a saying that Antonio Conte's team lacks creativity in attack. At least they don't have a classic organizational midfielder. Fabregas' comprehensive strength is very strong, but in terms of creativity alone, there is a clear gap between him and Manchester United's core midfielder Cui Zhen.

Chelsea's advantages are bravery, blood, steely will and unity.But in an offense that needs to tear apart the opponent's mature defensive system, when the muscle impact cannot play a key role, they obviously lack offensive creativity, the offense is not concealed enough, and the probability of the attack being predicted to succeed is also higher. When the game reaches 70 At the minute, Manchester United and Chelsea had entered a state where both sides knew each other well, but Chelsea was behind in the score. They needed to work harder and play some offensives that caught Manchester United off guard. "

After 75 minutes of the game, the physical consumption of the two sides has reached a critical point, but because Manchester United's overall lineup is weak this season, even with Mourinho's reasonable planning and strict control of physical consumption, compared with Chelsea, which is stronger and stronger, Manchester United is still slightly inferior.

The game should have reached a watershed stage. In the final closing stage, the leading Manchester United should be conservative. There is no way to do this. The overall strategy of the strong dialogue is basically the same, especially when the other side has a lead. There are a lot of changes in a draw.

However, before the final overall contraction defense to ensure victory, Manchester United will still try.It's not a last-ditch effort, but just a routine choice before shrinking in the closing stage. After all, at this point in time, Chelsea, which is lagging behind, may be the stage with the weakest overall will, and there may be a situation where the overall thinking is not unified.

Lukaku took the initiative to retreat, Lingard passed the ball to the left in the midfield, Herrera made a response and passed the ball to Cui Zhen, who retreated diagonally to the left side of the front waistline Lukaku.

After Lukaku's lateral pass attracted Drinkwater, he passed the ball diagonally to Mata on the right.

At this moment, Herrera cut inside the penalty area along the left, forming the first sharp knife on the offensive line to penetrate into the hinterland of Chelsea's penalty area, tearing and restraining the defense.

Mata faced Zapacosta again. He knew the significance of this attack and he would not undertake the task of breaking through, because Herrera was already on the other side to contain the opponent's forces in the penalty area.

He made sure he contained defender Zapacosta, opened up space in the penalty area, and immediately crossed the ball.

Lukaku ran diagonally past Drinkwater, and Drinkwater actually focused most of his attention on Cui Zhen.

But he was wrong in his prediction.Manchester United's attack this time did not pass through Cui Zhen at all during the advancement process.

Lukaku moved forward after controlling the ball. After coming to defender Gary Cahill, Lukaku saw Cui Zhen's running position, then stopped the rhythm of possession, and then moved the ball horizontally to the right, making Ah Spilicueta had to defend with Gary Cahill behind closed doors. Just before the gates of the two iron gates closed, Lukaku poked the ball directly behind Azpilicueta with his toe!

Cui Zhen is about to form a single sword!

Although in the eyes of all the audience, Cui Zhen is about to form a single sword, but Cui Zhen knows that he is facing strong pressure. Kanter, who was on guard against Mata and cutting in, has not completely relaxed.

The moment Cui Zhen rushed into the penalty area, Kanter's tackle also came from the side!

Kanter Yigao is bold. Through his understanding of Cui Zhen, he already knows that Cui Zhen's impact speed is the limit!So he is not worried that Cui Zhen will suddenly accelerate to make a preemptive touch or shot, or be awarded a penalty kick for a foul by himself.

Cui Zhen didn't try to grab the shot at the last step, he knew it was too late, maybe it was only 0.1 seconds late, but it was too late, Kanter's toes took the lead to poke the ball away, so Cui Zhen chose to jump up in the last step, just from the Kanter Te's body rolled over.

At the moment of passing, Cui Zhen closed his eyes for a second, showing a regretful expression.

The good opportunity for this attack is gone!Perhaps letting Mata cut inside and Herrera to support is the most perfect configuration for this offense.

But on the football field, there will never be the established complex offensive routines in sports warfare. 99% of the time, they are improvised on the spot to generate team chemical reactions, rather than copying a tactical movement or coordination design according to the scriptures.

There was a loud sigh at Old Trafford.

The singing in the stands stopped abruptly, most Manchester United fans held their heads and felt sorry for Cui Zhen, what a great opportunity this is!
Just as Cui Zhen rolled from the ground, goalkeeper Courtois had already passed the ball to the right, and defender Alonso ran forward to catch the ball, and then immediately launched Chelsea's counterattack.

Forward Pedro's lightning-fast waving speed allowed Chelsea's offense to suddenly advance to Manchester United's half, which caused a fault in Manchester United's overall formation.

Cui Zhen, Lukaku, Herrera, and Mata were all unable to support the backcourt defense at this time.

However, Manchester United's defense is still very calm.

Moses, Morata, Pedro, Fabregas.

4vs6?

Lingard already has a certain amount of experience in defending Fabregas. He calmly observed Fabregas's running position, predicting in his mind when Fabregas will accelerate forward, and will go forward again. Which empty area.

Chelsea's offensive still needs new offensive points in order to truly shake Manchester United's current tacit defensive system.

When striker Pedro forced Lindelof not to directly enter the inside line along the wing in the frontcourt, and turned to the inside line before the two met to make Pogba be contained, Chelsea's new offensive point appeared!

Antonio Conte has always been calm and serious, until this moment, he couldn't help clenching his fists, raised his chin slightly, and his eyes showed sharp colors.

There is a player he has focused on cultivating this season and has high hopes for. The outside world has criticized Chelsea's lack of change in offense. Doesn't Antonio Conte know it?

He knows the Blue Army he built by himself better than anyone else!

winger flow?
No!from this season.The Blues Chelsea will be three-way!
Not only Cesc Fabregas who hit the world's number one midfielder, but also an Antonio Conte who dared to take away the midfielder who performed well last season to support the new beast waist!
Drinkwater!
He is not just a defensive midfielder!He can advance, attack and retreat!

When striker Pedro crossed the ball, it was not given to Cesc Fabregas, but was killed from behind, like a rhinoceros from the sky wantonly disrupting Manchester United's defensive formation. After Drinkwater got it, Manchester United's defense line Really all of a sudden there was huge confusion.

Lingard becomes hesitant to switch targets from man to man.

He knew that if he went to intercept Drinkwater, whether he could catch up was one thing. After he left, Fabregas was liberated and became a new threat!And it is more threatening than the dribbling and advancing Drinkwater!
Pogba retreated to the penalty area to block Drinkwater, Pedro made a strong inside cut, and Drinkwater decisively passed the ball directly to Morata.

Morata took the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, almost ignoring Damian's defensive pressure, forced a 90-degree turn and then slanted the ball behind Sedamian and Lindelof!
Forward Pedro just right offside success!At this time, he leaned towards the goal and decisively rubbed the shot to the inside of the far post!

Goalkeeper De Gea swooped and blocked the ball with a single palm, but the football just bounced back with a 30-degree change of direction.

Before the football bounced off the ground, it was volleyed by Moses, who was originally outflanking the back of the goal from another wing, and sent the ball back to the goal.

Goalkeeper De Gea fell to the ground, helplessly watching the football fly into the goal from the upper left side of his head!
The atmosphere in Old Trafford suddenly dropped to freezing point.

The Blues fans began to roar passionately, Moses was surrounded by the Blues generals on the sidelines, and Antonio Conte also shook his fist fiercely with a slightly ferocious look.

Mourinho frowned slightly, but it wasn't the end of the world.

The score was equalized, but what Mourinho thought was more: If this season did not finish two league games with Chelsea in the first half of the schedule, but in the second half of the season, maybe Manchester United's situation would be very bad.

First of all, Antonio Conte will definitely try to make up for the flaws of the left back. Drinkwater was trained by Antonio Conte to inspire greater abilities.

In that case, Manchester United, which has a thin lineup, will be distracted by the Champions League knockout match in the second half of the season. If they encounter direct rivals Chelsea in the league again, the consequences will be really unimaginable!
There is a little bit of luck.

I originally thought that the FA's schedule was very bad. Looking at it now, it may be more beneficial to Manchester United in terms of the championship between Manchester United and Chelsea this season.

"Chelsea equalized the score! Chelsea's fast-break counterattack this time was so beautiful that it exploded! They pushed the attack to the danger zone with lightning speed, and then the former Pedro, Drinkwater, Morata finished. A nice triangular passing fit.

Pedro cuts into the box to form a shot, De Gea, like Courtois, two goalkeepers who have performed well are the most painful players of the game. They both have world-class performances in their saves, but they can't hold back The opponent's second attack!Moses, who was replaced by Antonio Conte, became a surprise player. His volley shot blasted the ball into the Manchester United goal!With 13 minutes left in the game, Manchester United and Chelsea drew 2:2. In the final time, will there be a lore?let us wait and see. "

Manchester United's situation after conceding the ball is not good.It's not that they have no fighting spirit, but that compared to Chelsea, which is stronger and more defensive, their overall physical fitness is indeed inferior to the opponent.It's not to such an extent that they can't keep up with Chelsea, but this kind of peak duel and a slight difference in physical fitness will be fatal factors, and Manchester United is quite powerless.
