Chapter 384 Manchester United’s Nemesis

Although Manchester United pulled a goal back. However, they failed to regain their disadvantage on the field. Facing Chelsea's fierce offensives one after another, they could only parry and had no power to fight back.

In the 27th minute, Blind made another defensive mistake. Pedro cut in from the right side of the penalty area and passed to Costa. De Gea reached forward and stretched his legs to intercept.

Blind made another mistake 1 minute later. Hazard made a pass from the right side of the penalty area, but Costa's close shot from the front point was saved by De Gea.

In the 3th minute, Chelsea took a corner kick, and a Manchester United player was not far away from the clearance. Hazard hit the goal from the front of the penalty area, and Costa intercepted the ball in the small penalty area. Then he suddenly half-turned and fell after being let go by two Manchester United players. After hooking the shot, goalkeeper De Gea couldn't react in time and could only watch the ball go in, 1:!

In less than forty minutes, the score was already 3:1, with a total of four goals scored by both sides!

For the audience, such a game is of course a good-looking game. But for Manchester United players and fans, it is very confusing.

Why did they, who had eight consecutive wins in the league and 13 consecutive wins in all competitions at the beginning of the season, and were considered invincible, unable to fight back against Chelsea's onslaught, completely led by their opponents?

Could it be that Chelsea is really Manchester United’s nemesis?

在英超，切尔西是唯一一支面对曼联成绩占优的球队。双方近10交战，切尔西取得5胜5平，其中5个主场取得4胜1平。

曼联近14次联赛做客斯坦福桥仅胜1场，其余13战5平8负。各项赛事18次客战切尔西仅胜2场。

双方英超历史交锋48场，切尔西取得16胜19平13负，其中主场10胜9平5负。

Under such circumstances, there is a widespread saying that Chelsea is Manchester United's nemesis.

Now, Manchester United once again visited Stamford Bridge Stadium, but was beaten dizzy, which naturally made Manchester United players and fans think of this statement.

………………

When Costa scored the football with a beautiful overhead kick, Bruno shook his head helplessly.

The whole team is out of shape, no matter how hard he tries, it won't work. After all, football is a holistic sport.

Everyone was dazzled by the victory and completely ignored Chelsea. After all, in the eyes of most Manchester United players, mortal enemies like Manchester City and Liverpool have been stepped on by Manchester United. How can Chelsea, which ranks sixth in the league, be Manchester United's opponent?

If you underestimate such an opponent, you will pay the price.

During the halftime break, Mourinho severely criticized the team's performance, thinking that everyone was sleepwalking. He asked the team to strengthen their offense in the second half.

So after the start of the second half, Manchester United stepped up their offensive.

In the 50th minute, Rashford shot a powerful shot from the front of the penalty area. Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois did not dare to hug it directly and punched the ball out with both hands. Bruno, who followed closely, also fired a volley, but his The shot flew directly into the stands.

Two minutes later, Manchester United made a comeback. This time it was Lingard who received Rashford's cross in the penalty area, headed the ball towards the goal, and was hugged tightly by Courtois.

Manchester United's continuous attacks finally paid off.

In the 58th minute, Bruno launched an offensive. After taking the ball in the midfield, he did not pass to Lingard or Rashford but chose a sudden direct pass. The ball penetrated Chelsea's midfield and back line, and finally fell to Ibrahimovic's feet.

Just when Ibrahimovic turned to shoot, he was knocked down by Chelsea defender David Luiz in the penalty area. The referee awarded a penalty kick and also gave Luiz a yellow card.

The penalty kick was taken by Bruno. He kicked the football into Chelsea's goal and the score was tied at 2:3.

………………

Next, Chelsea coach Conte replaced Pedro with defensive midfielder Chalobah to strengthen the defense. Mourinho replaced the out-of-form Fellaini with Mata and continued to strengthen the offense.

There was now only one goal difference between the two sides. Manchester United saw the hope of equalizing the score or even winning, so they pressed forward aggressively, while Chelsea took advantage of this and started a defensive counterattack.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Chelsea took advantage of Manchester United's aggressive pressure and eagerness to score and equalize the score. They scored two goals in four minutes and finally fixed the score at 5:2.

When the final whistle was blown, the Stamford Bridge stadium, which can accommodate 41,000 people, burst into warm cheers and applause.

Chelsea fans would love to see the latest talking point fall at their feet.

No matter how powerful you are at Manchester United, you still have to bow before Chelsea!

Chelsea, playing at home, gave Manchester United a slap in the face, while Mourinho, who was eager for revenge, had unavenged old grudges and added new grudges at Stamford Bridge.

Looking at the painful expressions of the players because they lost the ball, Mourinho sighed and thought that he was still in trouble!

With the whole team mentally unbalanced, such a failure is inevitable. But losing at the beginning of the season is better than losing at the end of the season.

I hope that the loss of this game can teach everyone something.

He turned and walked toward the tunnel, where the media were waiting to interview him in the mixed area.

He knew what questions these media would ask. Many people were waiting to see his team's jokes. Now that they saw it, how could they let him go?

………………

Although Manchester United lost, and it was a disastrous defeat, Bruno's personal performance was not bad. After all, both goals scored by Manchester United were related to him. The first goal was a direct assist, and the second was a penalty kick he scored. Therefore, after the game, most of the Manchester United players did not score high, Bruno scored the highest score in the team - 8 points, second only to him was the team's midfielder Kanter, although Manchester United lost miserably in this game , but Kanter's performance was quite normal, and the media gave him a 7-point rating.

<divclass="contentadv">Except for Bruno and Kanter, no other Manchester United player scored 7 points.

In the UK, the disastrous defeat of Manchester United also attracted the attention of the media.

From this incident, we can also see the media’s clumsy nature. Even the most authoritative media cannot escape this trait.

………………

Ferenc Campbell, who will go to middle school next year, spent a long time reading in front of the newsstand and finally decided not to buy this Monday edition of "Echo". Firstly because the price of 85p is not cheap, and secondly because his favorite team lost, and lost miserably.

Because of this fiasco, there were no good voices in the media, which made him very angry.

As a young fan who lives in Liverpool but falls in love with Manchester United, this kind of experience was not uncommon in the past, because you can hardly expect the "Echo" to say good things about Manchester United.

Take a look at what is written on the cover headline of "Echo". From the headline on the front page "How fast dreams are shattered!" to every word in the report, there is a sense of schadenfreude.

The media is like that, always like that. When you win, they praise you and blow you to the clouds. And when you lose, they scold you and throw you into hell.
