Chapter 257

As time goes by, the pressure on Chelsea is increasing.

The Manchester United players organized an orderly attack in the frontcourt, and Chu Feng also seized the opportunity to shoot, regardless of how many Chelsea players were blocked in front.

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa, whenever he sees Chu Feng kicking his feet, his heart can't help but tremble.

The main reason is that Chu Feng's shots are powerful and deep, and he can always find tricky angles.

The low and long shot from the first few minutes hit Rudiger's calf, broke the line and missed the right post.

At that time, Kepa was so frightened that he almost jumped up on the spot.

As Manchester United's offense became more and more intense, Mourinho also began to take command from the sidelines.

First, he moved from a wide range of movements to the left and right, to kicking on both wings. He took turns making crosses at an angle of 45 degrees, crosses from the base, inward crosses, etc.

Chelsea players are not given time and opportunity to adapt.

Matic was almost moved to tears at that time.

By the way, there is an unverified rumor.

For every man who has passed the age and is moving towards adulthood, a decent position and a stable high salary are almost a dream state of life.

For him, although leaving Manchester United is the best option, there is always a feeling of being abandoned.

So why are so many players willing to fight for Mourinho?

He once dreamed of becoming a Naples player, but without talent, he had no talent. Even the lowest level league refused to give him a professional contract.

"attack!"

After a game at Chelsea a few years ago, Matic was sulking in the shower because of poor performance. Mourinho handed him a piece of soap and said seriously: "I believe you are the best. Take a good bath and rest.”

He knew that his mentor would never give up attacking, and even if he lost the game, he could not lose in frustration. This was the case in Naples.

The Iron-blooded Blues, who have lost their tradition in recent seasons, finally found some sense today.

Chelsea players quickly set up their formation.

In those years, Napoli's whirlwind attack swept Serie A, and they were part of the championship group every year, but they always missed out in the end.

Kovacic listened to the familiar voices and looked at the familiar scenery around him.

If they continue to compress their formation, they still cannot change the situation on the field. When the Manchester United players catch their breath, they will still fall into a passive defensive state.

Because the long siege consumes a lot of physical energy of the players, and it also unintentionally relaxes the defense in the backcourt.

During this period of time, Chu Feng's powerful aerial and confrontation abilities were maximized.

If Kepa hadn't made several key saves in a row, Chelsea's goal would have been broken by Chu Feng.

The reason is self-evident.

Matic showed no mercy when facing his old teammates, and went directly to confront him without saying a word.

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines of the court, suddenly made a gesture to signal the Manchester United players to weaken their offensive intensity and move the entire formation fifteen meters back.

Hazard had already sneaked up to Maguire just now. He only needed a long pass from the backcourt to use his speed to overpower Maguire and help Chelsea create a scoring opportunity.

If you are physically strong, you won't suffer, and if you have solid feet, you can hit the ball.

But it's a pity
Mourinho really knows Hazard and Chelsea too well, as well as the key timing points of defensive counterattack tactics, so he asked Manchester United to actively slow down the rhythm in advance.

Now the dilemma becomes Chelsea.

Sari adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Hidden behind the thick lenses were a pair of stubborn and complicated small eyes.

He can accurately judge the placement of the football every time and has an absolute advantage in the confrontation with Christensen. Even Jorginho can't do anything to him.

Jorginho knew that his organizational skills were not good, so he passed the ball to Kovacic on the right, and he quickly moved forward to attract space for his teammates.

Maybe Chu Feng would hit another long-range shot and fly into the goal by mistake.

So he became a foreign exchange trader working in a bank.

Sarri conducted analysis with a precise vision, and the accumulation of experience made him more and more successful, and as a result, he was able to get job opportunities in financial centers such as London, Zurich and Luxembourg.

So he was unconvinced from the bottom of his heart and wanted to prove it to Mourinho.

Jorginho saw Sarri's gesture and shouted at the top of his lungs.

And the best way to prove it is to beat Manchester United.

Matic is Mourinho's favorite midfielder. He also believes that only under Mourinho can he reach his full level.

The eighth level league, the seventh level league, Serie D, Serie B, finally entered the Serie A of his dreams at the age of 55, and coached his childhood dream of Naples.

Even though there are serious problems in the Chelsea dressing room, at this moment, under the huge pressure exerted by Manchester United, they put aside their past differences and become united.

However, the premise of the formation will expose the space behind the defense, giving Chu Feng enough room to accelerate, and Mahrez is also difficult to deal with.

But far from being extinguished, the football seed in his heart thrived under the baptism of time.

Chelsea fans in the stands were also shouting loudly.

No matter what you choose, it's not perfect.

Sari tore the tobacco from his pocket, quietly stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it while many images flashed through his mind.

While Matic seeks physical confrontation, he is also blocking the passing route to the ribs.

But Kovacic played a clever trick, pretending to be inward but actually outward, passing the ball to the right.

"Azpilicueta is very fast and uses the change of pace to get rid of Luke Shaw!"

"Knock across the middle!"

"Azar!"

Chelsea No. 10 stepped on the ball with his back and pulled back, avoiding Maguire's long legs.

When he was about to turn around and shoot with his left foot, a force came from behind him. By the time he reacted, the football had been stabbed away by a little black egg.

"Damn, I hate Kanter!"

Azar cursed secretly and quickly chased back to grab him.

Kanter definitely couldn't outrun Hazard, so he didn't want to run at all. Instead, he waited until Herrera was in place, then took off and passed the ball.

"Get it!"

Jorginho roared and retreated close to Chu Feng.

There is no way, Herrera only needs to pass the ball to Mahrez, who can find Chu Feng with a simple cross.

Now Chelsea is in the transition period between offense and defense, and there is a disconnect between the three fronts as they move in a hurry.

If Chu Feng gets the opportunity to face the back line, he can choose to shoot from the outside or break into the penalty area, posing a huge threat to Chelsea's goal.

That's why he retreated instead of advancing.

Barkley heard this and quickly pressed forward. Herrera also gave up the through ball and instead passed the ball to the left to find Pogba who was retreating to connect.

Pogba looked back before receiving the ball and found Kovacic rushing towards him.

But as a result, a huge gap appeared on the left side of Chelsea, and Luke Shaw quickly moved forward with a delicate hairstyle.

Pogba decisively passed the ball.

"Manchester United's frontcourt attack routine is very beautiful!" "The 4312 formation will naturally gather opponents in the center, and because there are no wingers, the opponent's full-backs lack targets to mark."

"At this time, when Manchester United's two full-backs move forward, they can use the wide side space to coordinate the pass or dribble the ball forward!"

Although Neville doesn't have much ink in his stomach, he still has a relatively deep understanding of tactics.

The problem of Chelsea's third-line disconnect was exposed to the maximum extent.

Luke Shaw dribbled the ball about 15 meters before Azpilicueta came up to cover.

But Luke Xiao didn't give him a chance. He stopped suddenly on the left side of the penalty area and knocked the ball to the center with his left foot.

When the ball arrived, Chu Feng stopped the ball with his right foot and then twisted his body to hit the goal.

At Old Trafford, Manchester United fans held their breath and stared at Chu Feng nervously.

According to Sky Sports' big data records, Chu Feng shot from the left side of the penalty area with a success rate of 55.34%.

That means you can score twice if you shoot four times.

Manchester United fans also gave it the name "CF7 Zone", which is similar to the Maldini Corridor, Del Piero Zone, Van Nistelrooy Zone, etc.

Rudiger's vigilance was instantly raised to the highest level, and he quickly rushed over to block the shot with his legs raised high.

It's just that he was cautious and didn't throw all his weight away to prevent being deceived by Chu Feng's fake moves.

There is no way, I have suffered too many losses before.

Chu Feng did not choose to kick the ball, but used the arch of his foot to hit the midfielder of the football.

boom!
The football flew out with a dull sound, grazed Jorginho's calf, and went straight to Christensen.

Christensen was deeply confused.

If it is a pass, the power is too great. If it is a shot, the power is too small, making it impossible to figure out the true intention.

"Maybe it was a mistake."

Christensen had many thoughts in his mind, but his clearance speed did not slow down at all.

But just when he was about to kick the ball, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Mahrez wearing Manchester United's No. 8!

After more than half a year of training and competition, he and Chu Feng have become very close to each other.

When he saw Chu Feng's movements and eyes just now, he knew what Chu Feng's real intention was, so he accelerated and swerved into the penalty area.

The left foot steadily unloaded the ball in front of the body, and immediately connected with the push action!

Kepa thought Christensen could make a clearance, but Mahrez suddenly rushed out. When he subconsciously turned sideways, the football hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the goal.

"The ball goes in again!!!"

"The first half is not over yet, Manchester United equalized the total score!"

"At Old Trafford you can always trust Manchester United, well done to the lads!"

The headphones on Neville's head were shaking slightly.

As his loud voice rang out, Old Trafford was thrown into a frenzy.

Mahrez ran towards Chu Feng excitedly and said proudly: "Chu, this ball is me. If you were someone else, he could stop twenty meters away!"

"Who are you talking about? Lukaku?" Luke Xiao came up and joked, "He can stop the ball directly into the goal."

"Hahaha! But to be honest, Chu, your passing kick is really powerful."

Pogba said with a laugh.

"If I don't have enough strength, I will have to be intercepted by Jorginho halfway." Chu Feng replied without curiosity, "How can the pass reach Riyad's feet?"

The angle of his shot just now was blocked, and Kepa also stood near the far post. Even if the shot went out of the corner, it would be difficult to score.

So I had no choice but to take risks, and the results were pretty good.

When he passed the ball, he specifically looked for Mahrez's left foot, and the polo king's ability to stop the ball with his left foot is definitely among the top five in active service.

And it can also connect the next step well.

Occasionally when a flash of inspiration occurs, Chu Feng thinks he can't even do it.

"If you can score a goal, it's a good goal!"

Matic patted several people on the shoulders, with a joyful smile on his face.

He is playing really comfortably now. His defensive midfielder partners Kante and Herrera are both very mobile players.

He only needs to pay attention to high-altitude balls and physical confrontation.

Don’t worry too much about attacking in the frontcourt. Whether it’s Chu Feng or Mahrez, they rarely waste opportunities.

"There are three minutes left before the end of the first half. Let's work harder to take the lead directly!"

Wan-Bissaka shook his pigtails and said confidently.

"The boss said, strengthen the defense and we will talk about it in the second half."

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows towards the side of the court.

"Then let's do what the boss said." Wan-Bissaka laughed twice, but he did not dare to disobey Mourinho's wishes.

not far away.

All the Chelsea players looked downcast, their eyes looking confused as well as confused.

Every team must have a leader to unite the team members, but not everyone can become a leader.

Thankfully, Chelsea haven't faced this problem for a long time.

The Blues always have loud voices in the dressing room, such as Ballack, Lampard, Drogba, Cole, Cech and so on.

But these people have left.

Where is Chelsea's leader now?

Aspiquita?
He really doesn't have any captaincy at all. Kepa refused to be substituted some time ago, and APZ couldn't even persuade anyone to do so.

You want to try it as Terry, does Kepa dare to fart?
Or Gary Cahill, who can't even make the starting lineup, is he captain in the stands.

Hazard is even less likely. No one will obey a person who lacks professionalism.

Chelsea legend Mikel, who was invited to participate in the commentary, said to Neville: "Chelsea players now have no communication on the court, and no one assumes the responsibility of a leader. A team needs such a figure, and this is exactly what this Chelsea team is doing." Lack of."

“If we were down two goals in the first half, Terry would smash up the whole dressing room and mobilize us so that we could win the game when we got back on the field.”

Neville nodded in agreement. Chelsea was really strong during that time and caused a lot of trouble for Manchester United.

Originally he thought Manchester United would go the same way as Chelsea last season.
Neville said with emotion: "For a team, leaders are so important."

When the game restarted, the entire Chelsea team clearly had no goals and was confused as to what they were playing.

Sarri was walking back and forth angrily on the sidelines.

Fortunately, Manchester United did not take advantage of the situation to strengthen their offense, but calmly defended in the midfield and backcourt. I don’t know how long it took, but finally waited until the half-time whistle.

Chelsea players did not feel too relaxed, and they all walked to the locker room dejectedly.

In contrast, the Manchester United players held their heads high.
