Chapter 41: Matic's Iron Spirit

"Di Maria!"

I saw Di Maria calmly push with his left foot and accurately pushed the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal. Courtois, despite his height and long legs, is also beyond the reach of a whip.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

"Angel Di Maria, he scored the winning goal."

"The plot is so similar, it's the same as the Community Shield in the summer."

At that time, King Dong and Di Maria also overtook Manchester United. However, the game ended in a draw, and the two sides were decided on penalties, but there will be no penalty shoot-out today, only 90 minutes. ”

"Di Maria's speed is too fast, he was still sending a long pass from the back just now, but he didn't expect to rush to the front to outflank the score, there are a bunch of speed freaks in the Manchester United team!"

"The first half is coming to an end."

Old Trafford was in complete frenzy. Many fans stood on their chairs and waved their United scarves.

"Angel!"

"Angel!"

"Angel!"

The cheers shook the snowflakes on the roof.

Manchester United staged the final frenzy of the first half.

2:1, on the big screen, the score is really real, even in the face of Chelsea and Ronaldo, Manchester United still did not let the situation fall to Chelsea. Messi led Manchester City to try, and now it's Ronaldo's turn and Chelsea's turn.

But Dong Fangzhuo and Manchester United are still the winners.

Beep

Beep.

The first half finally ended......

Mourinho licked his shriveled lips and stood on the sidelines looking at his disciples, not immediately stepping away, but waiting for the disciples to walk to the pitch.

“well done,”

“well done,”

“……”

He patted the disciples on the shoulders and backs one by one, and at this time he couldn't wait to motivate the disciples.

Chelsea did not play badly, he was not unhappy with anything, although he conceded two goals, but both were acceptable.

He walked at the end and finally walked into the dressing room.

"It's strong next door, we have to admit it."

"But let's not forget that we're just as strong, and that's what they think."

"We have to put down our baggage and fight with them for the last 90 minutes."

"Shou, we have to show a resolute attitude,"

"Attack, we also have to show 100% motivation!"

"If he can get into one of us, we can get into one of them!"

"We must not fall first!"

"They're still chasing and we're not under pressure."

"Remember, we're the team at the top of the table!"

……

In the home dressing room, Ferguson's words were reversed.

"They're scared,"

"They can't wait to get back to Stamford Bridge,"

'As long as we score one more goal, they will doubt life.'

"We were approaching them and they were feeling a lot of pressure."

"After tonight, they will be so frightened that they will even sleep and dream that we are nearby!"

"Go, give Stamford Bridge a nightmare!"

※※※※

Chelsea's side has already made some moves, Willian came on to replace the inactive Oscar, and Manchester United is still holding on.

In just 1 minute of the opening game, Chelsea played a beautiful attack, Matic sent a long pass, Hazard played Valencia on the left side, and then dribbled the ball straight into the Manchester United penalty area, at the edge of the penalty area, Hazard calmly inverted the triangle pass, Ronaldo rushed to the horse, raised his left foot, but it was a false shot, and then a left-footed buckle, dodged Jones, and then volleyed with his right foot!

Bang –

The angle was already good, but it was still held up by De Gea's hands.

Boom!

At that moment, everyone's heart chuckled, and they almost had a heart attack.

Ronaldo's kick is too domineering, if it weren't for De Gea, the goal would probably be pierced.

But that's not all!

Willian rushed up from behind, didn't make any adjustments, and bounced with his right foot before Smalling!

Smack-

De Gea, like a miracle protector, actually got up from the turf again, slapped it with one hand, and sealed the ball even more.

"Whew!"

"That's amazing!"

'Invincible De Gea, two saves in a row.'

Knock knock!

The Manchester United's heart raced twice more. I'm really going to be scared to death.

Bang –

Schneiderlin kicked the ball far away, straight across the half-court and off the touchline.

Chelsea's attack really scared the hearts of the United.

Playing like this, he failed to break through the gate guarded by De Gea, and Mourinho turned 180 degrees and looked helplessly at the sky.

Alas......

Ferguson roared directly from the sidelines, for the first time today.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Manchester United's defense, and what he had just explained seemed to have become a deaf ear.

It's only been a few minutes, and he almost has a sudden cerebral infarction.

Not excited, not excited, not excited......

After venting, he comforted himself like this, but if he had a seizure, he wouldn't have died early?

Of course, this is only for the defence, not that Manchester United's attack is wilting, and United will soon return the color.

Chelsea organised an attack again, but Willian's pass was too taken for granted and wanted to pass a ball directly to Ronaldo, but Schweinsteiger saw through it and cut off the ball. Schweinsteiger immediately transferred the ball to Mata, who shook Azpilicueta in small steps, and then cut inside with the ball to the middle, Nemanja Matic stepped forward to block, but Mata suddenly plugged behind Azpilicueta, and Mbappe whizzed wide.

That's it, Azpilicueta couldn't catch up.

syllable

Mbappe passes a high ball.

Dong Fangzhuo outflanked the middle lane and jumped high. Cahill and Kurt Zouma didn't stop him either.

Bang –

The angle was good, but he didn't have the power to push out due to the influence of the bag. This time it was Courtois' turn to play, and he grabbed the ball firmly with both hands!

Awesome.

It opened with a big threat from each side, as it did at the start of the first half.

"The goalkeepers on both sides are too good."

"It's not human!"

"It's hard to knock on the door with a seemingly average shot."

After the horror, the two sides fell into a period of caution. The midfield competition was fierce, with Nemanja Matic, Mikel, Juan Mata and Schweinsteiger receiving yellow cards one after another.

In the 60th minute, Ronaldo took the ball in the middle to create an excellent position of the front set-piece, Ronaldo personally took the penalty, Old Trafford fans did not dare to squeak, for fear of affecting De Gea's play, and Chelsea fans also stretched their necks to pray that Ronaldo could score, but Ronaldo's ball almost knocked down F35.

Chelsea are still 2-1 down. They began to move forward, with Cesar Azpilicueta and Branislav Ivanovic pressing forward frequently, and Di Maria and Juan Mata being temporarily suppressed. Ferguson began to shoot.

Marcus Rashford came on to replace Juan Mata.

After Rashford came up, the effect was immediate, Rashford's speed was also first-class, and Azpilicueta did not dare to make a mistake. If he comes up, he will definitely run back, one Mbappe has already caused a headache for the Chelsea backline, and another Rashford, they can only concentrate on defending, and it takes a lot of courage to rush up.

Of course, Chelsea's side retreated, and Manchester United didn't have to rush and play steadily. They can play defensive counter-attacks. Chelsea's star Cristiano Ronaldo was locked down the middle, and Chelsea now rely on Willian and Eden Hazard to create chances.

Dong Fangzhuo retreated a little and shifted to the right, making a certain tactical arrangement for Hazard's side, which means that Hazard's back has become the main attack direction of Manchester United, not only Dong Fangzhuo, but also Rashford, Mbappe can come over at any time.

Manchester United is too targeted, Chelsea are not attacking, and it is difficult to defend. It was United who sent Chelsea into a cold sweat in the 67th minute, when Schneiderlin went straight to Marcus Rashford, who and Mbappe sprinted at the same time.

Azpilicueta and Kurt Zouma can't stop it!

Marcus Rashford passed the ball to the back of the Chelsea penalty area near the baseline, and Di Maria knocked the ball back to Dong Fangzhuo in the middle in the air, and Dong Fangzhuo also directly met the ball and fired a low shot into the bottom right corner of the goal!

Courtois flew to save and lifted the ball out with one palm!

Another god-level save, Courtois and De Gea both performed against the sky today. Seeing Courtois so awesome, De Gea, who was standing in front of the door opposite, was also surprised. You can't have two great goalkeepers in a game, there is always a loser......

Corner kick.

There weren't many people in the Chelsea penalty area for Manchester United, with only four men, Dong Fangzhuo, Schweinsteiger, Marcus Rashford and Kylian Mbappe. After all, it is necessary to prevent Chelsea from playing a counter-attack.

Di Maria took a corner kick and looked for Dong Fangzhuo, but unfortunately Dong Fangzhuo was surrounded and didn't grab a header. Chelsea tried to hit back, but Marcus Rashford was soon fouled on the edge of the box.

Despite a yellow card, Chelsea's counter-attack was not successful.

Mourinho glared fiercely off the field, Manchester United's kid is bad, this Chiguoguo's tactical foul. I don't know why, he remembered that Dong Fangzhuo many years ago, and he was so hateful at that time......

Turning into a positional battle, the ball reached the feet of Hazard, but lost speed, and all the Manchester United players returned to defense, Hazard could only choose to break through alone, Ronaldo kept wandering in the middle, and finally pulled out to try to meet Hazard, but Hazard did not wear it, but wiped the ball to the bottom line before pulling the ball out, but was calmly kicked out of the sideline by Jones.

Cesar Azpilicueta finally got up and threw a depth charge directly on the touchline that landed in the United penalty area.

Branislav Ivanovic grabbed the lead.

Knock –

A lion flicked his head, and Smalling didn't catch up with his reaction, half a beat slower, and the ball went straight to the near corner of the goal. De Gea subconsciously slapped it, but the ball still didn't go in!

However, Willian rushed in with a left-footed hook and the ball flew straight to the far post!

"Ah, there it is!"

Lineker shouted.

Seeing that the ball was about to fall into the Manchester United goal, Dong Fangzhuo jumped up at the back post.

With a snort, his head lightly touched the ball, and he pushed the ball out of the bottom line.

"God,"

"It's a shame he's not a defender."

"It's really too cool to clear this time, will Chris Smalling and Jones be ashamed?"

'But Chelsea still have a corner.'

The Old Trafford fans immediately gave Dong Fangzhuo a round of applause, what are they not satisfied with such a captain and a king? Both offense and defense are impeccable.

Branislav Ivanovic, Mikel, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nemanja Matic all ran to the same spot, all appearing at the back post, and they looked like they were going to warm up.

They still dominate at the high point, and the United players suffer from their height. Seeing the other party's posture, Dong Fangzhuo hurriedly beckoned his teammates to come over.

"Keep an eye on them."

Whichever tall one will pull over, even Rashford ran away, and he himself ran to Ronaldo's side and personally watched Ronaldo.

boom

Eden Hazard took a corner and it was a shot over their heads.

There was chaos in the Manchester United penalty area, with almost everyone jumping.

But the highest jumpers are always Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo, even if they are not the tallest.

But they have the most awesome bounce!

Knock –

The heads of the two people smashed on the ball at the same time, and it seemed that Dong Fangzhuo still had a slight advantage. Because the ball flew out diagonally, but it didn't roll far.

"And!"

'The ball fell to Marcus Rashford and Nemanja Matic.

Rashford just wanted to lift his leg, but Matic was more playful, bent down directly, and his head went away with the ball first!

Marcus Rashford's right foot slammed into Nemanja Matic's head, but the referee didn't blow it because the ball rolled to Willian's feet, who took advantage of it.

Knock –

This time De Gea really had no choice.

The ball hangs straight into the top left corner of the goal.

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“!”

"William!"

'Willian equalised.'

“2:2。”

'Chelsea's comeback goal.'

'Too bad Manchester United were still scored by Chelsea.'

'It was an important goal and the draw brought both sides back to the same starting line. It's hard to tell who will continue to score goals, and the game has entered a white-hot phase, with either side likely to continue scoring. ”

"I don't believe that's the end of the game, there's more than 20 minutes left, everything is possible."

'Chelsea's luck has come, what about Manchester United?'

"Nemanja is still on the ground and looks injured?"

"He's bleeding from the corner of his eye, he's bleeding nonstop, and he's paid a huge price to get the ball."

'That's the iron spirit of Chelsea!'

The Chelsea doctor rushed into the pitch and lifted Nemanja Matic out of the pitch and bandaged him immediately. Soon, Matic's head was wrapped in white tape several times.

Instead of chanting Willian's name, the excited Chelsea fans chanted Nemanja Matic.

"Matic!"

"Matic!"

"Matic!"

Nemanja Matic traded his life for the goal.

In contrast, Rashford was a little slow to react just now, of course, it can also be said that Rashford is not as brave as Matic, if he also dares to use his head, maybe Matic will not be able to seize the opportunity.

"Ah,"

"What a damn guy!"

"He's too fierce."

Even Manchester United fans have to admire Nemanja Matic, Nemanja Matic's bravery shows Chelsea's iron spirit!
