Chapter 399 I Like This Opening
In the Manchester United dressing room, the atmosphere was a little somber.

Conceded three goals in a row in the first half, which is very uncomfortable.

Especially they are still playing very hard, and everyone is in good condition.

What's even more disturbing is that he just had a conflict with his opponent.

"I really wanted to fuck them just now! Have fun!"

The reckless Phil Jones said harshly.

Goalkeeper De Gea frowned slightly: "Man, if you do one game, we will lose one player, and the second half will be completely useless."

"But they're too Fxxk! We should just..."

As he was talking, Mourinho walked in, and the players shut up.

Behind him, Xia Xing followed closely into the house.

The two of them were the last two to come back.

Xia Xing closed the door behind his back, and the dressing room was completely quiet.

The noise of those Chelsea fans was blocked outside the door.

Mourinho looked at the players, and the players were watching him quietly at this time.

Some were resentful, others were depressed, and still others felt guilty.

Mourinho looked around and nodded slightly.

"Boys, I have to tell you something,

"You guys played a damn good first half!

"I'm not being sarcastic.

"I watched each of you carefully throughout the first half,

"Everyone is working very hard, the frontcourt, the middle, the defense, all doing their best,
"I am very pleased with your performance!
"Well... I'm basically satisfied, except for Ashley Yang's silly mistake,
"It's so stupid, I can't wait to go up and kick your ass."

When Mourinho said this, the players roared with laughter.

Everyone knows the style and character of the Portuguese, and just saying that proves that there is no real anger.

Ashley Yang also stood up embarrassedly: "Coach, I was a bit..."

Mourinho motioned him to sit down.

"Yang, don't talk about the first half, you performed very well in the first half.

"Besides that turnover, the rest of the time the performance was top notch, the defense was tight, no problem.

"You all did a great job and I'm so proud of you.

"But we are still behind, and by three goals,
"It's a matter of luck, not our strength,
"After all, we had one crossbar and one post in the first half,
"Another time I thought it was a penalty and it wasn't awarded,

"If those goals go in then we're 3-3 now.

"Of course, these words are a bit of nonsense,

"After all, there are not so many ifs in the world,
"So in the second half,

"I hope you continue to maintain the fighting spirit of the first half!

"Especially keep your faith!
"We are the top of the Premier League, we are the Premier League champions!

"Luck can't always be on Chelsea's side,
"As long as you keep fighting in the second half, luck will definitely return!
"Because you are the best team in the world in my heart!"

Mourinho's words made the players immediately gain momentum.

He attributed the team's conceded goals to luck and praised the performance of the players.

This gave us a lot of confidence.

In addition to verbal encouragement, Mourinho also made several tactical changes.

"Pogba, in the second half, your position is slightly lower, so that Xia can attack more. Let's change the offensive position and players, so that Chelsea can't adapt, and strive to grab points earlier."

"Phil Jones, in the second half you keep up with Diego Costa, he likes to move away from the goal, don't give him too much space."

"Valencia, you should reduce the number of attacks appropriately, stare at Hazard, and defend more fiercely! He just recovered from his injury a while ago, if you play harder, he will have more taboos!"

"Carrick, you fought hard in the first half and consumed a lot of energy. In the second half, you come down and rest, and Herrera came off the bench. Herrera, I need you to sweep a large area! If you have a chance to attack, You can alternate forward with Xia and Pogba! Change the type of attack!"

……

Mourinho's continuous adjustments are very targeted.

The players came out of the player tunnel and came to the court one after another.

Both sides used a substitution quota.

Manchester United replaced Carrick and replaced him with the all-around midfielder Herrera.

Chelsea replaced the defensive player Matic and replaced Cesc Fabregas.

Seeing Chelsea's substitution adjustment, Mourinho's eyes suddenly brightened!
Have the opportunity!
At this time, Xia Xing on the court also happened to look at him. The two looked at each other, and they both saw joy in their eyes!

Very good!
If Conte sends out defensive players in the second half and sticks to it, then the game will not be easy to play.

With three goals in hand and the bus, Mourinho should be desperate.

But Conte didn't.

Just had a conflict with Mourinho, he desperately hopes to overthrow him in this game!
Give him a shameful strength!

And this is exactly what Mourinho wants to see!

As long as you dare to press it out, we have a chance!
come on!

Chelsea took the lead in the first half, and it was Manchester United's turn in the second half.

In the middle circle, Ibrahimovic and Rooney, two veterans, heard the whistle and passed it quickly.

Then, head to the Chelsea half!

And Pogba and Herrera also turned on the offensive mode!

The two passed consecutively in the middle, and the ball was handed over to Mkhitaryan on the right, and he came back soon!
Mkhitaryan also sprinted up the right!
Herrera looked ahead from time to time, as if about to make a long pass!
Chelsea's full-court pressing tactics are still the same, and the midfield is pressed very high!
And the line of defense is also fast!
Chelsea has made a plan, as long as you pass the ball, it will be offside!

However, Herrera didn't make a long pass, he suddenly made a horizontal kick!

Pogba doesn't stop the ball and passes directly diagonally!
The ball did not find the fast-sprinting Mkhitaryan, but flew to the left!

Fly to Xia Xing!

On the sideline, Xia Xing suddenly increased his speed, and the ball flew towards him accurately!
"Is the lead of this ball a bit big?

"Can Xia receive it?

"He caught the ball on the touchline!

"Xia and Pogba cooperate very well!
"This advance is just right!

"Moses on the right goes up!

"He wants to squeeze Xia out!
"Xia picked the ball lightly, and the ball flew over Moses' head!

"Go around behind and sprint quickly!
"Slant run, go straight to the frontcourt!

"Cesc Fabregas stepped forward to defend!

"Can he block Xia's attack?

"It's about 38 meters from the goal...

"Xia actually kicked her feet directly!
"It's an elevator ball!

"The ball hit the net!

"World wave!

"This is incredible!
"At this distance from the goal,

"Xia's shot is very comfortable!

"It hit the middle and lower part of the ball, and the ball carried a distance of rotation!
"Fast up, then down after Courtois!
"Excellent!
"The second half had only just begun and Manchester United came back with a goal!
"1 to 3!

"This kind of opening, I like it very much!"
