I'm the Red Devil's savior

Chapter 42 The Peak Showdown
However, before the two teams play against each other, there is still a game to play.Chelsea are in the Champions League on Tuesday night and Manchester United are in the Europa League on Thursday night.

From this point of view, when the two teams play against each other on the weekend, Chelsea has a physical advantage. After all, they have two full days of rest time than Manchester United.However, Manchester United's two games are at home, so they don't have to run back and forth, which can be regarded as regaining a little bit of physical fitness.

Although the weekend will usher in the top battle with Manchester United, despite the current top spot in Group G of the Champions League with one win and one draw, even though the opponent is only the underdog Maribor, Mourinho is still at the best of the best at Stamford Bridge, just let The aging Drogba takes turns.

However, starting striker Remy did not live up to expectations. After helping Chelsea open the scoring in 13 minutes, he was injured in less than 3 minutes. Mourinho had to replace Drogba.

In the end, Chelsea beat Maribor 6-0 at Stamford Bridge, and in the middle of the game, Mourinho replaced the two core midfielders of the team, Fabregas and Oscar, to make room for the weekend's red and blue battle. force.

For Manchester United, in Thursday night's game against Tripolis, Ye Su did not dare to hold back at all.Because once Manchester United makes a mistake in this game, it will lose the initiative to qualify for the group.

In this game, Manchester United just let Mata sit on the bench and De Bruyne served as the team's midfielder.

For such an arrangement, Mata also understands very well, he knows that it is the head coach who asked him to recharge his batteries for the weekend match with Chelsea.He is also looking forward to this, he wants to show himself in the best condition in front of his former teammates, in front of the man who is not optimistic about him.

………………

Facts have proved that when Manchester United puts out [-]% energy, even Tripolis, who is ranked at the top of the group, still cannot stop the progress of Manchester United.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United were on a killing spree.In particular, Vardy performed extremely well, scoring a hat-trick with overhead kicks, and the other two goals were scored by Bruno Fernandez.

Also in this game, De Bruyne staged a hat-trick of assists, Rooney also sent an assist, and the last assist was sent by Kanter.

However, despite a superlative home win, United failed to climb to the top of their group as Besiktas thrashed Partizan Belgrade 4-0 away at the same time.

In the case that the two teams have the same points, the same number of goals, and the same outcome of the match, with the advantage of the number of away goals, Besiktas overwhelmed Manchester United and ranked first in Group C of the Europa League. Manchester United ranked second second seat.

After losing to Manchester United, Tripolis ranked third with 4 win, 1 draw and [-] loss with [-] points, and Partizan Belgrade ranked bottom in the group with [-] draw, [-] losses and [-] point.

However, for the time being, it can only be said that the three teams of Manchester United, Besiktas and Tripolis have a greater chance of qualifying, but the Belgrade Partizan did not exit early.

The qualifying situation in Group C is still a bit chaotic.

However, Ye Su didn't plan to think about qualifying for the Europa League group for the time being, because the summit match with Chelsea was imminent.

………………

The game against the Blues will be at 10pm on October 26th, British local time.

This is the penultimate game of this round of the Premier League, and the final game will be played at [-]pm on Monday, with Queens Park Rangers taking on Aston Villa.

In the games that have been completed before, the record of the strong teams is not very good.Manchester City lost 1:2 to the Hammers West Ham in London, Liverpool drew a goalless draw with Hull City at home, and Tottenham lost 1:2 at home to Newcastle. Only Arsene Wenger's Arsenal lost 2 :0 took down Sunderland the Black Cat.

On the other hand, Southampton continued to show the attitude of a super dark horse. They defeated Stoke City 1-0 at home, with 6 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses and 19 points. red devils.

In such a pinnacle battle, neither Ye Su nor Mourinho dared to relax in the slightest.

For Manchester United, the staff is unprecedentedly neat, and there are no injuries in the team.For Chelsea, the injury situation is not serious, but the absence of Diego Costa makes the expected direct confrontation between the two super shooters in the league miss.

At present, Costa leads the scorer list with 9 Premier League goals, but Rooney's performance is not bad at all. He also scored 8 goals in the first 8 rounds of the Premier League, ranking second in the Premier League scorer list.

In this game, Ye Su continued to use the 4231 formation used in most games this season. Goalkeeper De Gea, back four Kyle Walker, Maguire, Van Dijk and Luke Shaw, Carrick and Can With the special partner in the midfielder and the forward line, Vardy, Mata and De Bruyne lined up, and Rooney shot forward with a single arrow.

Chelsea also formed a 4231 formation, with Drogba as the center forward, Felipe replacing the suspended Azpilicueta, Terry ushered in the 430th Premier League game, surpassing Lampard to become the player who played the most Premier League games for Chelsea .

………………

这是曼联和蓝军历史上的第171次交锋，此前的170场比赛里，曼联72胜50平48负占有较为明显的优势，联赛中曼联59胜43平42负则是稍占优势。

However, what is embarrassing is that although Manchester United is the well-deserved overlord of the Premier League era, in the previous 22 Premier League seasons, Chelsea was their well-deserved sufferer.In the 44 matches between the two teams in the Premier League, Manchester United has 13 wins, 16 draws and 15 losses.

Especially in recent seasons, Chelsea has taken advantage of the two sides. In the past 7 games, Manchester United has only lost 1 game, and the remaining 6 games have 4 wins and 2 draws.

However, at Old Trafford, Manchester United did not fear the Blues. In the past 6 home games against Chelsea, they only lost 1 game, and the remaining 5 games had 3 wins and 2 draws.

But Mourinho has good memories at Old Trafford. He coached Chelsea twice and visited Old Trafford 8 times and only lost 2 games.

Of course, these are meaningless to Ye Su. He has never played against Chelsea or Mourinho. What's more, what makes him more at ease is the savior system and the cards given by the system .

After winning 11 main games this season, Ye Su has accumulated a lot of messy cards in his hands, among them is a chicken blood card that brought him wonderful memories last season.

………………

This is the confrontation between the two teams with the fiercest offensive firepower in the Premier League this season. Chelsea has scored 8 goals in 23 rounds of the league, which is the most firepower in the Premier League.And Manchester United scored 8 goals after 20 rounds of the Premier League, which is not inferior to the Blues.

At the same time, it is also the only match between the two unbeaten teams this season. The current record of the two teams is 7 wins and 1 tie.

I don't know who can keep the golden body after this game.

After the game started, Manchester United took the lead in attacking Chelsea's goal.Ye Su knew that if Chelsea got the upper hand and they retreated, Manchester United would be in dire straits.

However, the first shot was done by Chelsea.Manchester United, who attacked the frontcourt, was quickly blocked by Chelsea's iron wall.Chelsea attacked with the ball, but Van Dijk's header went directly to the opponent. Drogba passed the ball, and Oscar shot from the front of the penalty area, which was blocked by Kanter.

Immediately, Chelsea quickly took a corner kick, Hazard passed the ball, and Oscar's shot from 6 yards from the left rib was once again blocked by Manchester United defenders.

Manchester United immediately launched a quick counterattack. After passing through the midfield quickly, Mata passed the ball to Vardy on the left.Vardy took two steps to attract the defensive attention of the Chelsea players and then sent a through pass. Rooney kicked the ball from 8 yards from the left rib. The ball was blocked by the Chelsea defender. Kanter knocked the ball with his back and heel 5 yards from the goal. , the ball was blocked again.

Then Manchester United organized an attack again, Mata picked a pass from the front of the penalty area, and the unguarded De Bruyne volleyed high with his left foot from 10 yards from his right rib.

Ding Ding was very dissatisfied with his shot, and at the same time raised his hands to apologize to his teammates on the field.

………………

During the start of the game, the offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides were rapid, and the game time was also passing quickly.However, neither side had the chance to rewrite the score on the field, because both teams showed excellent competitive status, with wonderful offense and beautiful defense.

The applause and cheers of the fans continued to ring out at Old Trafford, with bursts of exclamations interspersed.

After 20 minutes of the game, Manchester United, who were playing at home, finally gained the upper hand and threatened Chelsea's goal continuously.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester United played a wonderful cooperation on the wing. Vardy broke through the entanglement of the defensive players and sent a through pass. Rooney broke into the left rib with a left foot shot from 12 yards, but Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois showed a world-class goalkeeper. With excellent defensive ability, he attacked in time to block Rooney's shot.

After 1 minute, Manchester United made a comeback.De Bruyne sent a precise cross from the right and found Rooney in the penalty area.However, Lu Xiaopang's head-shaking attack ten yards away from the goal was once again rejected by the Belgian goalkeeper who played bravely.

After being suppressed by Manchester United for a period of time, Chelsea launched a counterattack.

In the 34th minute, the high-pressured Chelsea completed the steal in the frontcourt. William used the method of going around to steal the ball from the tall but clumsy Maguire, and then dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area.Fortunately, another Manchester United central defender, Van Dijk, showed excellent defense. In a one-on-one situation with William, he snatched the lost ball back.

In the 36th minute, Chelsea got a free kick in the frontcourt.Fabregas took a free kick from the wing, and the ball went out of the baseline. Ivanovic, who fell in the penalty area, asked the referee for a penalty. Judging from the slow-motion playback, Maguire hugged Ivan's arm in defense neck.

The first half was coming to an end, and both sides stepped up their offense in unison.But Drogba's unguarded shot was saved by De Gea, and at almost the same position, Vardy's shot hit the side net, but Mata fired an anti-aircraft gun.

At the end of the first half, the two teams tied 0:0.
