Chapter 520 FA Cup Red and Blue Battle ([-]) Goal

On May 5th, Wembley Stadium was full of seats.

What was held here was the 17-18 season, the FA Cup final.

The opponents are Chelsea, who were second in the Premier League last season and fifth in the Premier League this season. Their opponent is Manchester United, who won the Premier League last season and successfully defended it this season. They also won the FA Cup last season and continued to reach the final this season. .

Both sides have important player injuries. Chelsea's side is Drinkwater, who was transferred from Fox City at the beginning of the season and cost the Blues 3790 million euros.But after he came to the Blues, he suffered from constant injuries. He played 22 games for the Blues this season and scored 1 goal.

Interesting, he grew up in the Manchester United youth team.

On the Red Devils side, there is also one on the injury list, Fellaini.

Muscle damage.

Belgian player Fellaini's tactical status in Manchester United is as tall as his stature.

When you are behind, go to Fellaini.

When leading, go to Fellaini.

Conte took Chelsea's small ball tactics and achieved some success. At least, under the strength of Manchester United, they also reached the finals, but the league results this season may make Abramovich unhappy.

According to Abramovich's temper, Conte may encounter the same treatment as Mourinho after the season and be laid off.

However, that's not what he's thinking about right now.

A lot of people were criticizing his small ball, his 3-4-3, and Conte made some compromises.

In this game, he arranged a 3-5-2 tactic.

Goalkeeper Courtois, three defenders, Azpilicueta, Cahill (captain), Rudiger, five midfielders, Alonso, Bakayoko, Fabregas, Kante , Moses, double strikers Hazard and Giroud.

Morata, William, Pedro and others sit on the bench and stand by.

Manchester United, 4-3-3.
Goalkeeper De Gea, defenders Valencia, Ashley Young, Smalling and Jones, three midfielders Herrera, Matic and Ye Tian (captain), three forwards, Lingard, Ibrahimovic, Sanchez.

Martial, McTominay, Mata, Bailly, etc. are on standby on the bench.

After various entrance ceremonies, representatives of the armed forces, salutes, official sponsors, etc., group photos, coin guessing, etc., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, Manchester United kicked off, and the last red-blue battle of the season officially started .

After Manchester United's inversion in the midfield, they tentatively gave a long pass forward on the left. Sanchez failed to catch the ball. Courtois and Azpilicueta teamed up to get the ball.

Subsequently, Chelsea's test was initiated by Hazard on the left bottom line.

Facing Herrera's marking, Hazard remembered some uncomfortable pasts, did not rush, and distributed the ball back to Alonso in the corner of the penalty area.

When the defense came up, Alonso gave the ball back to Hazard again, the linesman raised the flag, and Hazard was in an offside position.

It seems that Hazard is still under some pressure when he sees Ai's guidance.

Conte's task is not only to win the team, but also to make the players better. Therefore, he arranged more ball possessions for Hazard, hoping that the players can break through his shadow.

Hazard also understood the coach's intentions very well, and started running in a wide range.

This kind of player's wide range of running must be effective.

Soon, he got a chance to push forward quickly, and at this time Herrera had just switched from offense to defense, and he was still 5 meters away from him!

Hazard received a through ball from Fabregas and charged towards the Manchester United penalty area.

Jones watched from the side, Smalling quickly returned to the defense in the middle, and the others followed all the way back to maintain the integrity of the formation, but they had no direct defensive effect on Hazard at this time, but they just held Hazard. Just the route.

Hazard's characteristic is that he is fast and happy.

Jones can only prevent him from changing his direction and completely throwing himself away, and blocking part of the shooting angle by the way.

Almost a direct conversation between Hazard and De Gea!
Hazard shoots with his left foot!
After De Gea went to the ground, his right foot blocked the ball out of the goal!
Matic, who retreated from the outside of the penalty area, got the ball, and Manchester United resolved the crisis.

On Manchester United's side, Ye Tian encountered a tight guard, Kanter was inseparable, and Bakayoko was watching from the sidelines.

Mourinho's tactic is to let Ye Tian take away part of the defense and give other players room to play.

Therefore, Herrera pretended to advance towards Ye Tian, ​​and after attracting the attention of the Chelsea players, he gave the ball to Valencia on the right, and the latter transferred it to Ashley Young on the left in a wide range, and then Professor Yang made a long pass to In the frontcourt, look for Sanchez who can run and jump.

In fact, their first attempt was this routine.

Sanchez still didn't get the first point this time, but with his efforts, Azpilicueta protected the ball and went out of the baseline.

But the referee believed that Sanchez finally touched the ball.

Then, again, this time it's Maticma's forward pass, a high-altitude ball.

Sanchez puts Azpilicueta behind him to gain a good position.

Azpilicueta behind him pulled and pulled, but failed to stop him from stopping the ball with his chest.

After stopping the ball, Cahill has come to double-team.

Sanchez immediately re-provoked the football that had not yet landed, and picked Cahill.

But when he ran past Cahill, he was tripped by Cahill!
This is within the restricted area! !
Just when everyone thought it would be a red dot set meal, the referee signaled Sanchez, you hot chicken, hurry up, everyone else, the game continues!

Blind referee!

Sanchez was cursing in his heart, but his body had already stood up and joined the defense.

Because in a blink of an eye, the ball has come to the other side, Chelsea players have all pressed on, and Sanchez is in an offside position.

Chelsea's offense here is also very sharp.

From the cooperation of Fabregas and Bakayoko, the former passed through to Bakayoko who sprinted into the penalty area.

Then, when Herrera was defending Bakayoko in the penalty area, there was a push in his hand, and Bakayoko fell to the ground!

The ball was taken by Herrera!

The referee turned a blind eye to this again!
This made the fans very happy!

Because they may have grasped the criteria of the referee, well, he should be a boxing referee!Basic hand-to-hand combat is normal. As long as the players don't suffer from concussions, kicks in the face, and the use of amputated children and grandchildren, etc., they should not blow his whistle!
But such a penalty scale made the coaches of both teams very dissatisfied!
This kind of game may look intense, but what if my players are seriously injured?
Especially Mourinho is even more annoyed, because he still has a more important Champions League final to play, and, the age of the players on the field, his team is too high.A 38-year-old Ibrahimovic has experienced serious injuries...

The Manchester United players obviously thought of this, and their actions on the field began to restrain themselves.

As for Chelsea players, after this game, the club game is over, and after a period of rest, some players will go to Russia, and some players will start to take vacations.

The mentality of both parties began to change, and the balance began to tilt.

Manchester United continued to find Sanchez to attack, but they all gave high balls, the effect was not good, and they were pushed out of the penalty area.

In the subsequent scramble for landing points, Azpilicueta knocked the ball across to Fabregas who was waiting in the middle.

Fabregas immediately made a long pass, crossed the center line from the backcourt, and accurately found Hazard on the right.

Hazard's technique of stopping the ball is excellent. As soon as he touched the ball, the ball was changed direction and ran towards the penalty area.

This stop of the ball was beyond Jones' expectations. His position selection just now did not take into account a direct breakthrough in this direction!

The game turned into a race between Hazard and Jones!

Obviously, Hazard is better than Jones!

Jones was thrown away by Hazard. When the latter touched the ball and adjusted, Jones took the lead in sliding tackle!

Hazard had expected this shovel!
Once the ball is received, the foot is hung up!
The two slipped and fell on the grass together.

De Gea hugged the ball helplessly first, and Smalling, who had already returned to the defense, put it on his waist, followed Herrera who returned to the defense, turned around and raised his hand, shouting at the referee No foul, Giroud in the middle raised his hands, Indicating that if the ball is not fouled, haha...

The referee had already run over and pointed to the penalty spot with one finger!
Then, he began to draw cards from his trouser pocket.

Jones sat on the ground, dazed.

Smolin hurried up to intercede at this time.

Fortunately, it was a yellow card.

In the opening 20 minutes, Chelsea got a penalty and the Manchester United defender got a yellow card.

Yellow card, okay, okay.

Conte couldn't stop protesting off the court, the red dot must be damn it!
On the pitch, Chelsea players also protested around the referee. Didn't this Nima have a red card?
Smalling, Matic, Yang and others were on the sidelines to help the referee to say a word in a timely manner to gain a wave of favor.

Two minutes later, the referee blew the penalty whistle, and Hazard tricked De Gea into throwing to the left, hit the ball to the right, and easily scored the goal!
In the 22nd minute of the game, Chelsea 1, Manchester United 0.
