Chapter 398: Snatching the ball back

However, Jones also knows very well that the second half of the game has only started for ten minutes, and it is too dangerous if his teammates have no physical strength now.

Who knows if their team's backline will be able to withstand Manchester United's attack at the end? And it was a game at Manchester United's home stadium......

After the restart, Manchester United did continue to attack, after Martial received a side ball from Matic on the right side, facing Alonso and Rudiger, who came from the defense, Martial did not hesitate!

He first controlled the ball, and after stepping lightly on the bicycle with his right foot, he suddenly accelerated in the direction of the baseline and rushed out of the bag between the two.

After Anthony Martial caught up with the football, Martial did not cross the ball, but continued to dribble the ball towards the Chelsea penalty area, and after observing the situation in the box, Martial chose to knock the ball across the door!

At this time, Lukaku and Sanchez were already in front of the Chelsea goal, Lukaku at the front point was a little half a beat slower, and the football passed in front of him, but Sanchez at the back point was already following!

At this time, Azpilicueta beside Sanchez made a move! He risked kicking the ball into his own door and made a tackle first! This tackle allowed him to touch the ball before Sanchez!

After the ball touched Azpilicueta's feet, it almost went straight to the goal! At this moment, many Chelsea fans chose to close their eyes, because they didn't want to see an own goal!

And Manchester United fans are shouting in their hearts, hoping that the ball will fly into the goal! It's a pity that God wasn't on Manchester United's side, Azpilicueta tackled the ball and then grazed the post and missed the goal!

'Azpilicueta almost scored an own goal! Fortunately, the ball went wide of the goal at the end! However, we have to encourage Azpilicueta's defensive spirit! Without his brave defence, Sanchez behind him would have sent the ball into the Chelsea goal without a doubt! The Chelsea commentator was shocked and then praised Azpilicueta!

The Manchester United fans in the stands let out a sigh of regret! Kodic was also shocked by Azpilicueta's tackle, but after coming to his senses, he also gave Azpilicueta a round of applause for this defense.

Obviously, he also encouraged his players to defend bravely, and in his opinion, even if the ball was actually kicked into the goal by Azpilicueta, Cordic would not blame them too much, because as the commentator said, if Azpilicueta didn't touch the ball, the probability of Sanchez flying such a shot was too low!

Courtois also expressed his gratitude to Azpilicueta for this clearance, he walked over and pulled Azpilicueta up and gave him a hug, Azpilicueta was more calm as the captain of the field, and after he got up, he began to direct his teammates to set up again, because Manchester United got a corner kick!

The ensuing Manchester United corner didn't pose much of a threat to Chelsea, and the ball was headed out of the box by Andreas Christensen! But it didn't take long for Manchester United's attack to make a comeback!

This time it was Sanchez on the left who launched the attack, after Sanchez got the ball on the left side, Moses stepped forward to defend, and after Sanchez's continuous feints, Moses showed his flaws!

Sanchez seized this opportunity, cut directly to the edge of the penalty area, and then hit the goal directly! Fortunately, Courtois in front of the goal was very focused and fished out the ball from the bottom line!

The United fans let out another sigh, and after withstanding successive waves of attacks from Manchester United, the Chelsea players gradually attacked.

First up was Drinkwater, who launched a counterattack with a long pass after cutting off Nemanja Matic's pass to Sanchez! Drinkwater's long ball found Willian on the right with pinpoint accuracy.

When Willian faced the defense of Kaashley Young, Willian shook the ball several times, and he finally shook a gap and then sent a cross into the box!

The cross was of a very high quality, and after drawing a wonderful arc in the air, it flew right towards Jones, who was outflanked in the middle, but Jones was not having a good time at this time, and Smalling and Lindelof sandwiched him in the middle!

Although Jones finally jumped up and grabbed the point, Jones's body struggled to exert power, and he ended up with the ball directly in De Gea's arms.

Although the attack did not pose a substantial threat to United's goal, it did successfully disrupt United's successive possession, and Chelsea launched another attack in the 64th minute of the game.

Eden Hazard and Alonso, who provided the assist, combined continuously on the left flank, and after Hazard got rid of McTominay's defense, Alonso sent a very comfortable through ball, and Hazard caught up with the ball at high speed and crossed!

Although the football was pushed out of the penalty area by Lindelof first, it was still the Chelsea players who appeared on the spot! Willian cut in right at the edge of the penalty area, and he didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground before he volleyed!

Willian's long-range shooting is still very high, he has scored three league goals this season from long-range shots, and this time, the quality of his long-range shots is also extremely high! The ball flew straight into the top right corner of the Manchester United goal!

However, De Gea in front of goal used his super fast reaction speed to take a step sideways and pounced hard to fish the ball out of the bottom line!

"De Gea once again saved Willian's inevitable long-range shot, for this goal, we can only say that Willian shot beautifully, De Gea saved brilliantly!" The narrator exclaimed.

The Manchester United fans in the stands also let out a burst of exclamations, they were already ready to celebrate, but they could only withdraw their hands stupidly, when he kicked the ball out, he felt very good, and the feeling of playing football for so many years told him that this ball should have it!

His feelings didn't deceive him, the quality of the shot was very high, but unfortunately he was facing De Gea who was in outburst!

Seeing that Chelsea slowly took the initiative on the field, the magic bird on the sidelines also walked to the sidelines, loudly expressing their dissatisfaction, Mourinho's shouts obviously made the Manchester United stars on the field feel the pressure.

After the game restarted, Manchester United gradually regained the initiative on the field through their frantic attack, Lukaku took the initiative to retreat to the outside of the box to receive the ball, and then after shaking off the gap, he directly volleyed with his left foot!

The shot was powerful and sudden, but unfortunately the angle of the shot was not tricky enough, and after being held by Courtois, who was in good position, he took it into his arms!

In the 69th minute of the second half, Anthony Martial on the right side completed a shot from the edge of the penalty area! Anthony Martial's shot was a low shot that went straight into the near corner!

Courtois fell to the ground, touched the ball with his fingertips, and the ball changed direction slightly, before slamming the post!

Lukaku and Sanchez, two strikers, rushed to the football almost at the same time, but the football was stabbed out of the bottom line by Christensen!

'The post denied Anthony Martial's brilliant shot! But if we continue to attack like this, I believe Manchester United will definitely have a win! Manchester United's commentator shouted.
