Glazer sat in the VIP seat, and Ed Woodward sat on his right.

Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, was also present in the stands at Old Trafford.

The two bosses smiled at each other, and then they both turned their eyes on the field.

Abdo glanced at Chu Ge a few times.

He was curious.

Pei Xiaowei was so busy with the dragon mother set in front of him that he forgot about the game for a while.

And the game has begun.

……

'Chelsea's formation should be 3421.'

After a few minutes of observation, Zhan Jun could see the position of the Chelsea players clearly.

'Antonio Conte has brought a back three to the Premier League this season, and for an Englishman who is used to 442 or 433, his attempt is bold and fresh. At the same time, it is also relying on the style of play of these three defenders that Conte has gained a firm foothold in the Premier League. ”

"At the beginning of the season, Chelsea's results were inconsistent and even a little poor due to the lack of adaptation to the new tactics, and there were rumours of Conte's resignation. However, after a period of adaptation, Conte and his team got better and better, winning more than a dozen consecutive victories at one point and holding the top spot in the league table for a long time. At this time, it became his opponents who did not adapt to this change of tactics. ”

"The back three often works wonders for a formation that restricts the front three, such as Manchester United's 433."

"This is because when the winger's style of play encounters the traditional four-back formation, the connection between the full-back and the central defender often becomes the weakness of the winger's breakthrough. Although there will be a central midfielder to fill in, the central midfielder's defence is often stretched thin when it comes to breaking through with a winger with superior individual ability. In a back three, there will be a strong defender who will always get stuck in the line of the winger cutting in, keeping the threat out of the box, so there will be a kind of restraint. ”

'It's probably for this reason that Premier League wingers have been muted when they meet Chelsea, and that's probably one of the reasons why Chelsea have been so good this season.'

'In this game, it was Manchester United's wingers' turn to meet Antonio Conte's back three, and I don't know how Ferguson's side will respond.

'At the moment, the lads at Manchester United are really having some difficulties. Nearly 10 minutes into the game, United still couldn't find a good chance to score. They had two shots, both from outside the box. Chelsea, on the other hand, fought back well. ”

……

Ferguson sat in the dugout, keeping a close eye on the game.

He was thinking.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte on the sidelines kept moving left and right on the sidelines, shouting and directing the players on the pitch from time to time.

The coaching styles of the two coaches are very different.

……

Boom!

The soccer ball flew from behind the side.

Such a ball, which is fast and is still a half-empty ball, is difficult for ordinary players to handle.

Especially when the opposing defenders are close together.

However.

For Chu Ge, it's pretty simple.

The body blocked Azpilicueta and quickly lifted his right foot.

The outside instep gently held the football, and the ball was immediately removed by him as if it were glued to his foot.

Lean forward and make a feint to speed up the ball. At the same time, with a buckle on the inside of the foot, it immediately stops and presses the football under his feet.

Azpilicueta was about to speed up to chase Chu Ge, but when he saw Chu Ge stop suddenly, he immediately stopped his pace.

At this time, taking advantage of this long time, Chu Ge suddenly drove the football away, instantly ahead of Azpilicueta by one position, and sprinted forward with the football.

Azpilicueta hurriedly followed Chu Ge as well.

His breath was a little rapid.

Chu Ge's change in the rhythm of dribbling made the defender a little breathless and out of breath.

After taking three steps, Chu Ge saw the position of his teammates and found a passing gap, and he immediately got up and crossed.

Azpilicueta quickly stretched out his leg to block.

However, due to being one position behind before, although he struggled to stretch out his right leg, he was not able to block Chu Ge's pass.

The ball was passed to Marcus Rashford.

The young youngster faced Cahill's defence and took the lead with a low shot.

He didn't choose to stop the ball, but didn't make adjustments, and chose to shoot at the first time.

Boom!

The ball was fast and went straight to the near corner of the goal.

"Good time!"

Courtois was very nervous.

From the time Chu Ge dribbled the ball, he had been observing the movement of several Manchester United's attacking players. As soon as Marcus Rashford had a shot on goal, the goalkeeper reacted immediately.

He sinks down on his knees, lowers his focus, and quickly stretches out his left foot.

Boom!

Just before the ball slipped into the net, it crashed head-on into Courtois's feet and flew off the ground.

After an arc in the air, the ball flew off the pitch from the bottom line near the corner flag.

"Beautiful save!"

Zhan Jun exclaimed.

"Marcus Rashford's shot, although not very fast, is relatively close, and the angle selection is more tricky, so it is very difficult to save such a shot. If the goalkeeper chooses to fall to the ground and save with his hands, there is a high probability that he will not have time to block the football in time and let the football fly against the post and into the net. ”

"Courtois arguably made the most reasonable choice."

"First of all, he was in a good position, and secondly, he made the right choice the first time when he faced the shot, stretching his leg to block the football. The save showed the goalkeeper's solid fundamentals and quick reflexes. ”

'That's probably why Chelsea can feel comfortable letting go of Cech and putting Thibaut Courtois, who just turned 25, right.'

'Thibaut Courtois is a player with a lot of quality and potential. With him, Chelsea won't have to worry about the goalkeeper position for at least ten years! ”

……

"Chu, you passed it very well. It's a pity that I didn't grasp it. ”

After missing a goalscoring opportunity, Rashford looked a little frustrated.

Chu Ge smiled and touched Rashford's head.

"You've done a good job."

After speaking, Chu Ge glanced at Courtois.

"This guy is really strong." He thought to himself.

Marcus Rashford had a bit of a rush to shoot, but the quality of his shot was not low at all.

If he were to be Chu Ge before, he might only be a little stronger than him.

In other words, the shot just now was replaced by the previous Chu Ge, and he would basically be rejected by Courtois.

"Atletico Madrid is really a team with good goalkeepers." Chu Ge sighed a little.

'I don't know if I'll be able to score against him today.' Chu Ge glanced at Courtois again.

He wanted to try his SSS-level shots.

Of course.

The premise is that there are good shots on goal.

Otherwise, forcing a shot will not be effective.

……

Corner kick taken.

Diego Costa grabbed the first point and cleared the ball out of the box.

United's attack was over.

Then.

Two Argentines in the stands started chatting.

"Gabi, is that the talented player Chu Ge you said?" One of them, with long blond hair, pointed to Chu Ge, who was starting to defend on the field, and asked his companions beside him.

"Yes, Gabi." The companion said with a smile.

Both are named Gabi, and both are called Gabriel.

"It's interesting." Golden Gabriel looked at Chu Ge with a smile, his eyes full of appreciation, "No wonder people say that he will be the second Leo." He just passed the Chelsea defender and I thought he was Leao. ”

'He's the hope for our revival at Manchester United.' The other Gabriel laughed.

……

Eden Hazard takes the ball.

He pulled the side and pulled the United defence apart so much that the distance between the defenders was loose.

'Chelsea are starting to step up their attack.' Zhan Jun observed the situation, "They have invested a lot of troops in the attack, and the Manchester United players need to pay attention. ”

Then.

Hazard suddenly pulled the ball past Valencia and dribbled sideways down the middle.

When N'Golo Kante and Ander Herrera came over to press, Hazard suddenly swooped in with a straight shot.

The ball slipped through the four Manchester United defenders.

"Good shot!"

"Attention Costa!"

Zhan Jun just shouted twice, only to see Costa suddenly appear in the restricted area.

He met the ball and stabbed it out.

De Gea rushed to the ground to save.

And the ball went right under his armpit.

0：1！

Diego Costa scores!

……

Looking at the Chelseas rushing to celebrate, De Gea ducked his waist and lowered his head.

He was a little frustrated.

Equally frustrated are the 70,000 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford.

This goal silenced all Manchester United fans.

Throughout the stadium, only a few thousand away fans were celebrating, and everyone else was silent.

"David, it's not your responsibility."

A voice rang out in front of De Gea.

De Gea looked up.

Chu Ge was standing in front of him.

'You have no problem making the save, it's not your responsibility to concede the ball. Chu Ge emphasized again, patted De Gea on the shoulder, and then turned around.

'You made an offside mistake just now, you didn't keep an eye on Costa, you didn't stop Hazard in time. This conceded goal is a reminder to stay tuned and vigilant! He clapped his hands vigorously and reminded his team-mates at the back.

"Be sure to guard against them next time!"
