Soccer Super Marksman

Mourinho glanced at Antonio Conte, his head high and confident, before kick-off resumed.He silently turned around and walked to the bench, called Martial up, and asked the assistant coach to submit the substitution list.

Herrera was substituted and Martial came on.

In the hearts of fans, this is a positive signal.

At least in terms of attacking tendencies, Martial is more inclined to attack the goal, while Herrera is a more comprehensive wide player.

In other words, Manchester United has increased the number of forwards, which seems to be the performance of the team striving for victory.

But the Manchester United players on the field understand: Mourinho played a trick.

Replacing Martial is not a signal to strengthen the offense, but a signal to strengthen the defense.Perhaps because today is the Christmas game, Manchester United sits at Old Trafford and cannot be too timid at the end of the game.Or the actual situation is also a protracted battle with Chelsea, Manchester United's overall strength may not be the opponent.

Antonio Conte was excited after seeing this substitution.Are Manchester United stepping up their attack?

Ha ha, good, good!
Antonio Conte is not afraid of Manchester United's offense, he is never afraid of any team's offense, because Chelsea is the team that lives behind the opponent's offense!
But after the re-kick-off, he watched the game for 5 minutes, and his expression suddenly changed.

Falk!Mourinho is playing me!
Martial is on the stage, almost forming a double forward with Lukaku.

But Mata retreated to increase the defense of the midfielder, Cui Zhen sat in the central midfielder, Lukaku and Martial were very close to the top, pressing Chelsea's back line and ready to seize offensive opportunities at any time.

Manchester United's overall formation is actually adding strength to the defense.The posture has become anti-reverse.

Chelsea was embarrassed.

With Cui Zhen and Lingard as the core ball handlers in the middle, who will Chelsea rely on to grab the ball?
Because Manchester United has begun to control the scene, if they cannot create a clear offensive opportunity, Manchester United will not launch an attack suddenly, or will end the attack when there is a good opportunity to threaten the opponent with a long shot. Premise: The stability of the line of defense!

The embarrassment for Chelsea is that with only Cesc Fabregas, can Morata succeed in countering the frontcourt?

Drinkwater and Kanter will not rush forward and stay away from the defense zone.It is necessary to defend Lukaku and Martial together with the back line. If you are an ordinary opponent, you can take a risk, but against Manchester United, I dare not!

It's not that Moses and Pedro cannot participate in the frontcourt counterattack.First of all, the efficiency of anti-robbing is very low, and they are not doing this kind of work themselves.In addition, Pedro also has physical problems. Now he only participates in offense and does not care about defense at all.

Antonio Conte's face turned livid at the sight.

Mourinho used Martial to cover up Manchester United's offensive and defensive posture changes, which can not only give a proper explanation to the Red Devils fans who are celebrating the New Year, but also stabilize the situation when the situation is already unfavorable, killing two birds with one stone.

It's really hard to lose a game that a top team doesn't want to win!

Will Antonio Conte take the bet?Don't look at Manchester United now controlling the ball, but the dominance of the situation is in the hands of Chelsea instead.

As long as Chelsea breaks the boat to attack, Chelsea may not have a chance to kill Manchester United.

After all, Damian on Manchester United's back line was bullied by Morata and surrendered his knee long ago.

It’s just that Chelsea is more afraid of Lukaku. Cui Zhen does not need to run long distances to create murderous intentions in the central midfielder position. Maybe Chelsea’s defense line has obvious gaps. His precise through ball can create a match with Lukaku that belongs to Manchester United. The lore goal!

If they are killed by Manchester United, it means that Chelsea have been double-killed by Manchester United in the league this season!

Antonio Conte could not bear such a heavy result, and he watched with dismay as the game came to an end in a thunderous attack.

"At the end of the game, the defending champion Manchester United faced the second-placed Chelsea in the Christmas game. After 90 minutes of intense and exciting fighting, the two teams shook hands with a score of 2:2. The home and away games of the two teams in the league this season The game is over.

Manchester United has achieved 1 win and 1 tie, which makes Manchester United still lead the standings by 4 points. For Chelsea, this is certainly not a time of despair. There are still 20 rounds in the league!Three days later, the second game of the Christmas Express battle will be staged. What kind of answers will the two teams produce in the short-term devil's schedule?Let's wait and see, viewers, and happy new year to everyone before goodbye! "

When the game is over, the expressions of Chelsea generals.Just like their coach Antonio Conte, he is not reconciled but also a little depressed.

Manchester United fans were relieved quickly in the stands at Old Trafford. Although they were a little disappointed that they did not win the game, they were able to get a draw. They played against Chelsea twice in the league and got a superior result, which is enough to spend happily It's Christmas.

Cui Zhen saw Fabregas walking towards him unexpectedly. Fabregas walked in front of him, with a natural expression on his face, he asked to exchange jerseys.

Cui Zhen took off his jersey, and the two handed their jerseys to each other at the same time, then turned around and left, but gave each other a thumbs up tacitly.

They are not only the core of the team's midfield between rivals in the Premier League, but also competitors for the world's number one midfielder.

Cui Zhen has been listed by the European media as one of the contenders for the European midfield king in the new generation!

The moment Fabregas and Fabregas took each other's jerseys and gave thumbs up to each other when they turned around, was captured by many photographers on the sidelines, and listed this as one of the classic scenes in the Premier League.

In an interview after the game, Mourinho expressed regret that he did not win the game, and he had nothing else to comment on. He had a mentality of seeing Chelsea and Antonio Conte.

Anyway, the league is over. As for the other games, the FA Cup, Manchester United is powerless. If they really meet Chelsea, they might give up with half-resistance. The thickness of the bench is really not comparable to that of the opponent. If it is the Champions League again Come, let's talk about it then.

He will now focus on the devil's schedule ahead.Antonio Conte complained a few words when he left Old Trafford. On the one hand, it was to put pressure on the boss, hoping to spend more money to strengthen the lineup, so as not to let the left back's flaws continue to escalate. It is mockingly saying that Manchester United does not have the determination and will to win at home.

There is a gap in the overall strength of the Premier League BIG4. This gap is mainly reflected in the endurance of long-distance running in the league. Chelsea must have the strongest overall strength, but in terms of the strength gap in a single game, perhaps there is no difference between the BIG4 There is a clear gap between who has the absolute advantage and the opponent.

This made the Manchester United players understand from the bottom of their hearts that it is a pity that they failed to win Chelsea at home, but there is no need to worry about it. A draw is an absolutely acceptable result.

On the second day after the Christmas game, Cui Zhen held a small party at home, and invited Lukaku, Lingard and his girlfriend, Martial and his girlfriend, this is a very good personal relationship in Manchester United teammates.

Lei Tianjiao prepared a sumptuous dinner for the guests. Cui Zhen, Lingard, Lukaku, and Martial drank two bottles of good wine and sat down to chat after dinner.

Lingard discussed his future development direction with everyone. He is currently studying the style of Juventus midfielder Cristiano Ronaldo.

Of course, Lukaku has no worries about competitive factors. What he discussed with Cui Zhen was the future development of Manchester United.Even world-class stars need good helpers. Now Manchester United's tactics around Cui Zhen and Lukaku are working very well, but the lineup is too thin, and some long-standing minor problems must also be considered.

For example, Mata cannot maintain a stable state this season, Fellaini still cannot gain the trust of his teammates at critical moments, and Matic has taken too long to adapt to Manchester United and so on.

There are also weak links in the team's defense, which cannot be ignored.

Cui Zhen talked with Lukaku for a long time, and he expressed his views.First of all, in the current configuration of the team.Martial deserves more chances.It is not because of the friendship that Martial speaks well, but among the many offensive methods, but in terms of efficiency, Martial can make containment and cover on the front line, which is the most efficient.

As for the replacement of wide players, Matic is a question mark, and Fellaini is indeed unconvincing. The team needs at least two more capable wide players to join Manchester United in the future. Otherwise, next season, Manchester United will be really dangerous, and it is impossible to always rely on Lukaku and Cui Zhen to solve the problem.

Martial's participation in the team is not too high, he is not a stable main player, he can only be said to be a main substitute.

In the end, Lukaku suggested that Cui Zhen and him put pressure on the club at the right time, hoping that the club would make some changes in signings.

Cui Zhen verbally agreed to Lukaku, but sighed deeply after sending these teammates away.Perhaps Lukaku forgot one thing: Cui Zhen's contract renewal is still pending.

After another day of rest, the second league game of the Christmas Devil schedule came as scheduled.

Under the leadership of Cui Zhen and Lukaku's excellent performance, Manchester United continued to sit at Old Trafford. 5:0 bloodbathed the relegation team Portsmouth, and at the same time, 19 league games in the first half of the Premier League ended.Manchester United won the half-time league championship.

After 19 rounds of the league, there is only one day off. On December 12, the 31th round of the league will continue. Manchester United will be a guest at Villa Park. This game is extremely difficult.

Aston Villa was a guest at the farmer Fulham in the 19th round, and they played an earth-shattering 3:3 against their opponents. They were exhausted when they returned home, and their league ranking was close to the relegation zone. Barrel array.

Manchester United's overall physical condition is also very bad. In the third game of the devil's schedule, after the first two games, there is only a total of 3 days of rest. In addition, this game is an away game, and the team's state is bound to be negatively affected. .

Cui Zhen and Lukaku almost desperately took away the victory with a score of 1:0 at Villa Park.
