Football: Starting from being abandoned by Barcelona

With Li Lei's double goal, Chelsea is already leading Manchester United 3:0 in this game, which makes Manchester United coach Moyes a little uneasy.

"In the 51st minute, Manchester United coach Moyes started making substitutions."In the Sky Sports live studio, Keane saw Manchester United start making substitutions and analyzed:

"Yes, judging from this game, Manchester United's defense really has too many problems, and it is reasonable to make substitutions."Jones, the commentator next to him, said

"Chris Smalling replaces Patrick Evra"

"Trailing by 3 goals, Manchester United is clearly at a disadvantage. Moyes hopes to boost the team by making substitutions"

"But Chelsea's attack was so fierce that Manchester United's defense was on the verge of collapse"

"Their defence was disorganised and several Chelsea players were able to penetrate it easily."

"The defense on both sides was also extremely weak, and was almost played around by Hazard and Li Lei."

"The overall defense system lacks coordination, and the various defense modules are seriously disconnected."

"The defense was on the verge of collapse when facing Chelsea's continuous attacks."

"If the defense cannot be strengthened quickly, I am afraid that Manchester United will suffer a disastrous defeat in this game."

"A goal might narrow the score, but to turn the game around, Manchester United needs more decisive adjustments."

"Chelsea has established a clear advantage. If nothing unexpected happens, they are likely to win the game."

"At the same time, Manchester United must also seize the new opportunities brought by the substitutions, otherwise the fourth goal or even more goals will be inevitable."

"Head coach Moyes should also reflect on his defensive deployment, which needs to be improved in the Champions League and the next league game."

The commentary of Keane and Jones undoubtedly made Manchester United fans feel heavy-hearted.

If they lose this game against Chelsea again, the team will be squeezed out of the top 6 in the standings.

Smalling, who came on as a substitute, did not bring a turnaround for Manchester United. In the 55th minute, Ramirez and Li Lei on the right side of Chelsea began to try to organize an attack.

After two goals conceded on the left, Manchester United's defense line clearly tilted to the left, and Lampard and Hazard were the targets of defense.

But before an effective breakthrough was made on the right, Ramirez was maliciously tackled to the ground by Manchester United midfielder Valencia.

The referee immediately showed Valencia a yellow card. The big score behind made Manchester United players a little angry.

Taking this opportunity, Moyes made another substitution adjustment, replacing Ashley Young with center forward Javier Hernandez.

This is obviously to strengthen the offensive force in order to equalize the score.

Moyes made this adjustment, obviously hoping that Hernandez's offensive style can bring an impact to Chelsea.

In contrast, Mourinho was much calmer and just stood on the sidelines to watch the changes, and did not follow the opponent to make countermeasures.

Manchester United's substitution adjustment finally showed results. As time went on, the physical fitness of the players on both sides declined, and Hernandez began to show his strength with abundant physical strength.

He first used his speed to disrupt Chelsea's defense, and then seized a counterattack opportunity to finally blast open the door guarded by Cech.

The score on the field was also chased to 3:1, which allowed Manchester United to successfully intercept Chelsea's offensive momentum.

"Manchester United finally scored! Hernandez scored a wonderful long-distance run and tied the score to 3:1!"

"Moyes's adjustments paid off by making substitutions to strengthen the attack"

"But Chelsea still controls the tactical initiative and cannot slack off in defense"

"Although it was just one goal, it boosted Manchester United's morale to some extent."

"They will now chase and intercept with all their strength, Chelsea must stick to their own rhythm"

"Mourinho is also considering strengthening the midfield to prevent Manchester United from winning again"

"The situation is still favorable for Chelsea, but we must remain sober and decisive at the critical moment"

"As long as the defense is stable, Chelsea can continue to control the victory in their own hands!"

Seeing Manchester United scored a goal through substitutions, which made their momentum rise, Chelsea coach Mourinho responded immediately.

He replaced two defenders and a defensive midfielder at a time, and changed the formation to a stable 541. He told everyone very clearly that he was going to defend the 2-goal lead.

As the game came to an end, Chelsea successfully stabilized the victory again by strengthening its defense.

Manchester United was not so lucky and could no longer fight back, and failed to score again until the end of the game.

Unfortunately, near the end of the game, Manchester United players began to retaliate with malicious fouls. Their emotions were obviously anxious, but such dirty tricks should be condemned.

The referee did not indulge them and showed two cards in succession to prevent the game from getting out of control and injuries.

Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic maliciously violated Chelsea players twice in a row in the final stage of the game, and was directly expelled from the game by the referee with two yellow cards and one red card.

In the end, Chelsea defeated the Red Devils Manchester United 3:1 at home, and their winning streak continued
