Chapter 53
Before the game, Kintag mobilized the players in the locker room: "You must remember that this is Old Trafford, not to mention Mourinho's Chelsea, even Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus Come on, let's do the same, they will admit it!"

After Jin Taige's mobilization, the morale of the players was high, and they rushed out of the locker room screaming and came to the court.Jin Taige followed behind them and walked out of the player tunnel together.

Scholes, who followed him, found it very interesting.Usually in work and life, Kintag almost never swears, and he is always calm and decisive, but once he arrives in the locker room or on the court, he seems to be a different person, full of passion and high morale.

The only constant is his courage and determination, as well as his love for football.

Jin Taige took the initiative to come to the coaching bench of the visiting team and shook hands with Mourinho. The two did not talk and took their places.

"With the first-half whistle, the game started. Manchester United wore their home red shirts, while Chelsea wore their blue kits, a very eye-catching red-blue match in the second round of the Premier League. Great battle."

"The game was kicked off by Manchester United. They accelerated the pace of possession as soon as the game opened. All attacking players were all on the opponent's half."

"Carrick split the side and gave the ball to Giggs on the left. Look at the cross!"

"The cross is headed over by Chelsea captain John Terry. It's a Manchester United corner!"

"Giggs puts the ball forward and Wayne Rooney heads it! Oops, it's too high, Manchester United miss a chance to open the lead."

After the opening, Manchester United kept suppressing Chelsea. In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United had already had three shots. Two of these three shots were within the range of the goal frame. If it weren't for Petr Cech's brave performance , Chelsea have already conceded the ball.

Mourinho on the sidelines commanded the players loudly: "Keep in good shape, don't let them kick easily!"

After resisting Manchester United's onslaught at the beginning, Mourinho's team gradually stabilized. They organized the defense effectively, and Manchester United could not find a suitable offensive opportunity for a while.Chelsea put up a classic iron barrel formation, which is Mourinho's "bus tactic", sealing the entire defensive area airtight.

As long as Giggs and Nani two full-backs come to the edge of the penalty area, they will be surrounded by two or three opponents, and it is difficult for the ball to pass into the penalty area.Occasionally, a kick or two was passed, and they were all cleared by a group of defensive players in Chelsea's penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Jin Taige came to the sidelines and shouted loudly: "Raphael, go forward boldly."

Raphael was waiting for this sentence.The blood of attack is flowing in the body of Brazilian players. When he heard Kintag's arrangement, he immediately moved his position forward.

At this time, Nani just got the ball. Seeing Raphael coming up, Nani immediately kicked his heel behind him, passed the ball to Raphael, and then turned around and ran to the baseline.

Rafael didn't stop the ball either. He rubbed the ball up, bypassed the heads of Chelsea Ashley Cole and De Bruyne, and passed it directly to Nani's feet.

After Nani received the ball, he glanced at the penalty area and was about to pass the ball into the penalty area.

But just as he was about to kick, the linesman's whistle sounded—offside.

A good offensive opportunity was wasted like this, Nani was a little depressed, but he did not forget to give a thumbs up to Rafael behind him, indicating that he passed the ball very well just now.

Although the ball was offside, Kinteg saw the team's hope of scoring. He called Rafael and Evra again and asked them to step forward to assist.

After a period of time, Manchester United's attack improved somewhat, but it was impossible to open the situation by relying on the tactics of crossing from the wing.Moreover, Van Persie and Rooney are not pillar-shaped centers in the traditional sense. In addition, there are many Chelsea defensive players in the penalty area, and Manchester United has not ushered in a goal for a long time.

Several of Chelsea's defensive players are also very smart. In the whole game, except for Ramires who received a yellow card near the center circle, Chelsea did not give Manchester United any free kicks near the penalty area.

The two magic weapons to break the dense defense, crosses and free kicks, all failed.Therefore, until the end of the first half, Manchester United did not finally open the situation.Looking at the impenetrable bus in front of Chelsea, Kintag gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

During the intermission, Kintag told the players to continue to speed up the offensive rhythm in the second half, pass more balls to find gaps, and choose long-range shots when appropriate.

As soon as the second half started, Kintegger made tactical adjustments. He replaced Carrick with Anderson. He wanted to use Anderson's skills to tear apart Chelsea's central defense in front of the penalty area and make the offense more varied.

Anderson served as a substitute for two consecutive games. He was already a little dissatisfied. He didn't understand why Kintag would use the combination of Kanter and Carrick. When he and Carrick were together, Carrick defended and attacked by himself. This is how he won the championship last season.But why did Jin Taige not trust himself.

Anderson looks down on Kanter. He always thinks that technology is paramount. Only by suppressing the opponent with strong attack power can he take the lead on the scene. Even if the opponent scores three goals, he can lead the team to score four. The ball overtakes the opponent.What he advocates is that the offense is to score more goals than the opponent; while the offense that Kintag advocates is to push forward after setting up the defense line.The two concepts are fundamentally different.

Therefore, after Anderson came on the field, he only had one idea: to score key goals and then prove his worth.

Anderson's old problem was repeated. He rushed left and right in the frontcourt, trying to break through Chelsea's defense with his own ability.

But he thought of himself too well, and he also thought of Chelsea too weak.This line of defense was personally arranged by Mourinho. Terry and midfielder Ramirez on the back line formed a central defensive axis for Chelsea, supplemented by several defensive players on both sides. Not even a fly can fly in front of the door.

Anderson is still fighting alone, and his teammates have run out of space several times, but Anderson still does not pass the ball, which finally leads to the end of the offense.

Jin Taige was so angry that he dropped his water bottle on the ground.

But what he didn't expect was yet to come.

After Anderson broke through and was intercepted, Ramirez directly handed the ball to Lampard beside him.At this time, Kanter rushed forward immediately, trying to block the attack.

But Lampard didn't stop the ball. He made a long pass and went directly to De Bruyne on the wing.

When De Bruyne received the ball, the only defenders in front of him were Ferdinand and Smalling. At the same time, Chelsea's Hazard and Oscar rushed forward.

Chelsea 3 against 2!

Manchester United are in danger!
