Chapter 182: Blue Bridge Storm

Dai Zhiwei was also running with all his might to chase back at this time, and Cesc Fabregas's aggressive return allowed Kante's tackle to turn directly into a counter-attacking opportunity for his team, and he was holding the ball while looking up to observe the situation of his team-mate in the front court.

Suddenly, Cesc Fabregas felt a burst of pressure, and without looking back, it was clear that a player was chasing after him.

If he was in the mood to look back, he would have seen a railroad train rushing towards him at high speed—the small Herrera slamming into him in a sideways collision that resembled that of a rugby player.

Herrera arrived at United as Spain's iconic technical midfielder, with a lot of creativity as a striker, precise short and through balls, and good dribbling.

But in the later stage, he was transformed by Mourinho from a technical midfielder into a desperate Saburo, who had to fight hard for every ball, in the Premier League, although his figure did not seem to be strong, but he was actually more than 1.8 meters tall, and he still had the traditional fighting spirit of the Basques.

Collision!

Collide again!

Fabregas didn't expect that as soon as his thoughts fell, he felt a leg between him and the football, and then Fabregas, who was unstable and wanted to fall to the ground, saw a pair of black sneakers poke the ball forward.

"Bang!" With a thud, Fabregas fell on the lawn and almost ate a.

Fabregas, who thought he could get a free-kick, didn't make a sound.

He looked up at the referee in anger, only to be pointed to his own half of the goal, meaning that the ball was still in the hands of Manchester United.

This immediately caused dissatisfaction among Cesc Fabregas and the Chelsea fans in attendance, and the earth-shattering boos immediately rushed to Fabregas's feet, and quickly rushed to the referee, trying to argue with him.

But Mkhitaryan, who received the ball poked out by Herrera, didn't care about all this, he saw that Dai Zhiwei had chased back to the center circle line, and hurriedly handed the ball to Dai Zhiwei again.

This time, Dai Zhiwei received the ball without hindrance, and then with a flick of his face, he rushed towards the Chelsea half with a blank face.

Kante, who had just stopped his forward running trend, saw Dai Zhiwei running menacingly again, and kept smiling bitterly in his heart, and kept cursing Fabregas for the trouble he had caused.

"Damn, why is it here again? Doesn't he feel tired? Kante said to himself.

However, Kante could only grit his teeth and watch Dai Zhiwei's movements and rhythm intently to decide when he would pounce.

It is impossible to adopt the tactics of following, Dai Zhiwei's speed has completely rushed, and it is simply impossible for him to run with his speed.

"Then we just have to see if we can hit it with one hit!" Kante made up his mind in his heart, constantly calculating the speed and distance, as well as Dai Zhiwei's footsteps, when he suddenly saw an opportunity, and he pounced again.

"Humph! It's still the same set, do you think I'm so stupid, Saint Seiya won't lose to the same trick! Dai Zhiwei snorted coldly in his heart, but he really didn't know how he thought he was a saint warrior.

What a patient with deep middle and second diseases!

Seeing Kante constantly approaching the ground, Dai Zhiwei's feet suddenly accelerated the frequency, like a racing car at extreme speed and launching rocket jet equipment, accelerating faster in extreme speed, without using any breakthrough people, just by virtue of the second acceleration, he directly stepped past Kante's side.

At this point, Kante was completely distracted and desperate.

Secondary acceleration?

Oh my God, can you accelerate twice with such a fast run?

Having Dai Zhiwei's previous speed with the ball is an unattainable luxury for many players, and this guy can really accelerate twice?

Dai Zhiwei's breakthrough immediately made the Chelsea position panic, and the two counterattacks and counter-counterattacks back and forth in a row made almost all the Chelsea defenders on the field stunned.

After getting past N'Golo Kante, Dai Zhiwei can almost be considered a flat horse, and maybe the goal will come immediately......

Just when everyone thought that this was the case, a blue figure suddenly rushed out of the oblique stab, the speed and time were calculated very accurately, and Dai Zhiwei, who was constantly accelerating, collided fiercely.

"Bang!" Almost all the players on the field blinked at this moment, avoiding the most amazing moments.

Dai Zhiwei curled up in pain and rolled on the grass, while the blue figure next to him also hugged his lower abdomen, curled up in some pain, and only the players who were close to him would see that his body was trembling.

There was silence in the stadium, and everyone was stunned by the violent collision, where was the two people colliding together? It's like two locomotives slamming into each other!

If you get closer, if you squirt some more blood between the two people, then the visual effect is even more impactful.

It's really a matter of watching things, and I'm not afraid of making things big!

It turned out that just when Dai Zhiwei was about to step into the top of the arc of the penalty area, Cahill, who was originally on the side, made a quick diagonal insertion and took the first step to put Dai Zhiwei over with his body.

It's just that Dai Zhiwei's forward force is so great, and Cahill was also directly knocked to the ground by Dai Zhiwei.

There was no doubt that it was a foul and a free-kick was indispensable, but unfortunately there was Cesar Azpilicueta in the box, so the referee only gave Cahill a yellow card.

However, all the Blues players gave Cahill a thumbs up, and if it hadn't been for Cahill's 'takedown' and Dai Zhiwei had burst into the Chelsea penalty area, the goal would have been almost secure.

What Dai Zhiwei's shot from inside the box means, almost everyone who knows him well knows.

Moreover, this time Cahill's foul was very close to the penalty area, and it was very difficult for the free kick in this place to hit the goal frame under the interference of the human wall, even Dai Zhiwei, who has curve shooting skills, usually played ten times before two or three times can turn into the goal.

After sobering up, Dai Zhiwei knew that it was Cahill who collided with him, but he didn't expect this old guy to collide directly with him regardless of his physical condition, and couldn't help but show respect to him in his heart.

In fact, Cahill was also scared at this time, he originally thought that when he appeared, Dai Zhiwei would subconsciously reduce his speed, but he didn't expect Dai Zhiwei not only to slow down, but also to feel that he was still accelerating at the moment of collision, trying to overtake.

At the moment when he was knocked away, Dai Zhiwei's elbow was directly on Cahill's lower abdomen, and the huge pain made Cahill feel that his stomach was almost torn, and he even wondered in his heart whether Dai Zhiwei had hit him on purpose.

However, when he saw Dai Zhiwei's painful appearance on the ground, he immediately dispelled the doubts in his heart.

Still, when he thinks back to the collision, Cahill still feels a little scared.

But if time could be repeated, what would Cahill choose?

He knew he had no choice because he was a fighter!

This time, Dai Zhiwei took a tactical free-kick after discussing with Rashford, and he distributed the football directly to Rashford on the right, but unfortunately Rashford's shot was directly kicked away.

Seeing Rashford's shot almost hit the back of the net, Dai Zhiwei was first excited and then waved his fist in regret.

After the incident, the first half was over quickly, with United returning to the dressing room with a 1-0 lead.

Back in the dressing room, Mourinho asked about Dai Zhiwei's injury, even though he had asked the team doctor many times on the sidelines.

After learning that Dai Zhiwei was indeed fine, Mourinho couldn't help but teach him a few lessons, because now Dai Zhiwei is an indispensable baby in the eyes of the Portuguese coach.

The second half of the game kicked off again.

This time, there was no more temptation between the two sides, but gradually increased the pace of the game, and Manchester United slowly shrunk the lineup at this time, anyway, at Stamford Bridge, so Mourinho is not afraid that too many reporters will accuse him of playing defensive counter-attacks after taking the lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Conte signaled that the team's three lines could be properly pressed, after all, they were still one goal behind, and Chelsea's defense was "tortured" by Dai Zhiwei in the first half, but this also meant that the intensity of Manchester United's attack may not be able to maintain the whole game.

The move forward also had a certain effect, with Nemanja Matic and Ander Herrera having much more defensive duty, with Chelsea keeping the Reds high for the first 10 minutes, with Nemanja Matic and Herrera busy and Dai Zhiwei and Marcus Rashford up front.

And that all improved after Mourinho's first substitution on 69 minutes.

Jose Mourinho replaced Mkhitaryan with Jesse Lingard and Marcus Rashford dropped back to a shadow striker position, which allowed the Reds to strengthen their midfield and counter-attack.

Lingard is not as good as Mkhitaryan in terms of playmaking ability, but he is more defensive and aggressive than Mkhitaryan.

Chelsea's attack, combed by the combination of Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas, began to put pressure on United in layers, almost in waves.

On many occasions, United's defence looked like it was about to collapse, but thanks to the constant running of Ander Herrera and Nemanja Matic in midfield, coupled with the extraordinary play of Phil Jones and Smalling, it was only time and time again that the opposition was able to defuse the attack.

United's attack was no slouch either, with occasional sneak attacks from the start of the second half – Dai Zhiwei's long-range shot and corner kick almost broke Courtois's goal.

After that, Rashford and Dai Zhiwei pressed frantically in the front court, which brought endless troubles to Chelsea's defenders, which also indirectly disrupted Chelsea's attacking order.

Under the competition between the two sides, football has changed hands frequently.

"Dai, do you only talk big things? You've got the ability to pass me the ball, damn it, you haven't given me an assist in a while! Although there are opportunities in the forward line, Rashford still feels that there are too few, and Dai Zhiwei is very lacking in support for him at this time, which makes Rashford very dissatisfied.

"Shut your mouth! I'll pass you when I want to pass the ball, as long as you don't waste your chance! Dai Zhiwei has never been polite to Rashford, and after more than two years of playing abroad, he knows that all he gets from being humble here is kicking his nose in the face.

Listening to Dai Zhiwei's words, Rashford didn't care, the quarrel between the two was almost every day, and the appropriate "intimacy" could make their cooperation more intimate.

And at this time, something happened on the field that became a turning point.

Ashley Young suddenly signalled to the United dugout to make a substitution, perhaps because something went wrong during the confrontation, and Mourinho hastily replaced Ashley Young with him after Martial was only a hurried warm-up.

Ashley Young frowned from the moment he came off the pitch, which also made Mourinho a little uneasy, and it must be the kind of injury that can no longer hold on to the veteran's request to be able to take the initiative to go down.

However, Mourinho does not have time to think about this anymore, because Chelsea have regarded Manchester United's left side as an assist target at this time, and Manchester United is also playing a back three today, before Ashley Young returned to the left side, and there is not much problem with the wide defense, and Martial has not had enough time to warm up, and he will be under great pressure as soon as he comes up, and Bailly must not pay attention to their side at all times.

And Dai Zhiwei and Rashford also consciously put some pressure on Hazard on the wing when attacking, so that he did not dare to press the assist on Martial's side at will.

However, Chelsea's ability to catch such a machine was too strong, with the focus of Cesc Fabregas and Tiemoue Bakayoko, and Anthony Martial's left side immediately signalling a crisis.

Cesar Azpilicueta dribbled the ball to assist, Martial's thin body immediately lost his position under Azpilicueta's constant squeezing, and Martial's speed suffered greatly in this high-intensity confrontation, and soon could not suppress Azpilicueta's breakthrough.

As a last resort, Bailly could only passively step forward to fill in the position, and at this time, the last thing Manchester United wanted happened.

Cesar Azpilicueta's first step into the box was a cross and Morat, who had been wandering around the game in search of an opportunity, was finally rewarded by his tireless efforts.

Morat's diving header at the back post was met by De Gea's fingers on the ball with incredible power, which changed direction slightly and headed towards the top right corner of the net.

"Bang!"

This time, De Gea couldn't get it all out of the way, but it was denied by the post and bounced back onto the turf in United's six-yard box.

Smalling, who reacted in time, drove the football big foot directly out of the bottom line, at this time it is the most important thing to destroy the ball first, if you turn around and kick the ball, who knows what will happen, and it will be dangerous to protect the Red Devils' goal.

Chelsea corner!
