Chapter 644 Tough Defense

Manchester United players came in to warm up, and players with good relations between the two sides said hello.

For example, Pogba and Giroud, who are both teammates of the French national team, have a good relationship.

Another example is French national team teammates Cesc Fabregas and Mata, who also hugged each other in a friendly way.

There were also Belgians Lukaku, Hazard and Courtois who also chatted together.

After Xia Xing came on the stage, the two friends quickly walked over.

"Xia!"

"N'Golo! Danny!"

It was Kanter and Drinkwater who came to Xia Xing.

Looking at his two friends, Xia Xing was in a very good mood, but he was mixed with joys and worries.

Fortunately, Kante has grown into one of the best defensive midfielders in the world at Chelsea.

Since joining Chelsea in 2016, he has become Chelsea's absolute core midfielder.

Manchester United's summer trip, Chelsea's Kante.

These two are definitely the strongest defensive midfielders in the Premier League, bar none.

Of course, this treats Xia Xing as a defensive midfielder.

For example, some people regard Manchester United's Xia Xing and Chelsea's Hazard as the strongest attacking midfielders in the Premier League.

In general, Kanter has a very high status, both in the club and in the national team.

Drinkwater's situation is much worse.

It was not Conte's original intention for him to join Chelsea, so he did not get many playing opportunities under Conte.

Let alone being entrusted with important responsibilities.

He is still a substitute player in this game.

In the one year since he joined the team, he has wasted time, and it is difficult to see the all-around midfielder with excellent running ability during the Blue Fox period.

Looking at his old friend in a bad situation, Xia Xing felt deeply regretful.

But this is the path they chose themselves.

I have to go on gritting my teeth.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

Mourinho looked at the players in front of him, his expression and tone were calm.

It seems that this is not a final, but an ordinary league game.

It's still a league that won't matter after winning the championship early.

“Boys, you’ve made it this far again, I’m so proud and so proud of you.

"Manchester United is a wealthy team with a strong foundation and a top-notch team.
  “So in some of our important games, it’s impossible for everyone to play.
  "Believe me, I would even want each of you to start more often if you could.

"But that's unrealistic,

"So, I leave the FA Cup and League Cup to you,

"And you have given back the expectations of the team and fans with your outstanding performance!
  “The moment of winning the League Cup is still fresh in my mind, and the FA Cup is just around the corner!

“We have tremendous confidence in all of you!
  "After 90 minutes, let's win the championship trophy again.

"Become the King of England this season!"

There is nothing wrong with the phrase "King of England".

After all, Manchester United is about to win all the domestic championships in England this season.

Premier League champions, League Cup champions and even a Community Shield champion.

If they win the FA Cup this season, he will become England's four domestic champions this season.

Comprehensively defended various domestic championships.

For two consecutive seasons, Mourinho made Premier League history.

soon.

So today, although they are only on the bench, the Manchester United soldiers are united and looking forward to a big victory. In the Chelsea dressing room at this time, Conte’s expression was unexpectedly calm and his mind was calm.

In the previous few Premier League games, Conte still had a high-pressure management policy for the team.

This is his characteristic.

Speaking of which, there are many similarities with Chelsea during Mourinho's time.

They are all strict in running the army, they are all running in the whole field, and they are all fighting hard.

But as he lost control of the team, the players no longer listened to him so much.

Especially in the last two league games, the players' tactical execution was very poor, which made Conte furious on the sidelines.

But now, his mood is unusually stable.

Looking at all the players, he spoke in a rare and eloquent tone.

"It's been two years since I came to Chelsea.

“Looking back, the press conference announcing my appointment felt like it had just happened.
  "Here, I have had many expectations and dreams,
  "For example, helping the team win the Premier League championship, or leading the Blues to win the Champions League,
  "We did pretty well last season and were very close to winning the Premier League.

“I thought my results would improve this season.

"But unfortunately,

"Unfortunately.

"I can tell you now unequivocally that this is my last game at Chelsea.

"Ha ha.

“I believe some people will be in a good mood.

"But I also believe that even those who are dissatisfied with me should just have different ideas.

“We don’t have any hatred, do we?

“We’re all about the team winning, right?
  “So this last game, our goals are the same.

"Looking at the main roster, some guys have been unhappy with me.

"But I didn't deliberately target or hide it, and I still arranged for him to start.
  "Because he is an excellent player at Chelsea and I am also a professional coach.
  “I will not do anything that uses power for personal gain.

“So today, I hope to see a hard-fought game!

"It's hard to say whether they can win against Manchester United. After all, they are so strong this season.

“But I expect you to go all out and storm Manchester United!
  “In this game, we not only fight for victory, but also for fighting spirit!
  “I hope our last collaboration can leave something valuable for Chelsea!

"Come on, boys!

"Wish you and us good luck!"

Players from both sides ran onto the court, the referee blew the whistle, and the game began!
  Manchester United still maintains its old tradition and plays steadily.

Especially the midfield line, which is very far back.

A solid start was Mourinho's strategy for this game.

But Chelsea didn't care so much. They advanced quickly and stormed into Manchester United's half.

The two wingers move forward quickly!
  Quite active!

In the 4th minute of the game, Buck rate on the right took the lead!
  He sprinted with the ball and directly broke through Rashford's tackle!
  When Xia Xing pressed for the ball, he hit him decisively!
  The ball goes to Fabregas!

Fabregas didn't stop the ball and just asked for the ball!
  The ball comes to the right again!
  But I didn’t find Barkley!
  Instead, look for Azpilicueta who is quickly advancing behind him!

Buckley blocked the direction of Xia Xing's defense with his body and created opportunities for his teammates!

This time their defense against Xia Xing was very successful!

Azpilicueta sprinted quickly, received the ball, and passed decisively!
  His passing skills are quite good!

The ball went straight to the middle of the penalty area!

But it was not picked up by Chelsea players!

Manchester United vice-captain Carrick quickly retreated and took the lead to make a save!

Manchester United escaped a catastrophe!
  Wonderful defense! (End of chapter)
