Chapter 913: Pocket Center
Including goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, captain Cesar Azpilicueta and even Marcos Alonso are blaming Tiemoue Bakayoko, who has been ridden off by Li Liang several times.
Conte, who couldn't take it anymore, immediately made a gesture, shouting for Kante to move forward and Tiemoue Bakayoko, who was clearly unable to contain Li Liang.
Charlton sighed lightly: "That No. 14 (Bakayoko) should be the first to be substituted, right?" β
Ferguson replied: "Antonio [Conte] must have wanted him to defend Lee, he is no match for Lee!" β
Li Liang took a corner kick of extremely high quality, and Pogba once again succeeded in grabbing the point under the cover of his teammates -
Li Liang once again confirmed that Courtois, who steadily caught Pogba's attack, has jumped to 92!
In the loud exclamations at the scene, Big Neville said excitedly: "Lee's corner kick reminds us of David (Beckham)ββ
We had a lot of headers and every time David stood by the corner flag, the opponent was very nervous! β
Henry laughed: "David personally taught Lee how to play football!"
Both sides played in the Champions League in midweek, and Bayern Munich and Barcelona are very strong opponents, and it is clear that Manchester United and Chelsea have suffered from their fitness.
It looks like Manchester United are in a better fit and they're getting better at home!
But there's a guy in the Chelsea squad and you never have to worry about his fitness! β
In the next round, Li Liang immediately saw the power of Kante.
Kante, who is not as tall as himself, is full of strength, and his style of play is extremely tough, and what makes Li Liang feel most uncomfortable is the opponent's super coverage ability.
After a few encounters, Li Liang even felt like Kante was defending himself with a doppelganger, and the Frenchman was almost everywhere.
He couldn't help but think of the joke circulating on the Internet - "In addition to water on the earth, all that remains is the area covered by Kanter!" β
As N'Golo Kante contained the heart of United's midfield, the Reds' successive attacks from the opening kick-off slowed down and Chelsea's squad as a whole began to press.
Lingard, who was on the bench, said helplessly: "N'Golo is the guy I don't want to face the most, that guy is too good to run!" β
Physical fitness coach Larin also shook his head: "If you play like this, Li Ke won't be able to hold on to the whole game!" β
The magic bird stared at the field without saying a word.
Faria hadn't opened his mouth yet, and when everyone saw the ball cut off and launched a counterattack, several of the Reds' frontcourt players were already in a completely different position!
The thigh returned to the forward position that Li Liang had been in front of him, and Li Liang ran to the right side of Lukaku, followed by Pogba!
Ferguson exclaimed: "Start changing positions so soon?!" β
Kante was in a dilemma, and after a little hesitation, he rushed in the direction of Li Liang, and Bakayoko strode towards his thigh.
The little monster retreated to make the ball, and his thigh grabbed the ball before Bakayoko and passed the ball to Pogba, who knocked the ball directly to Li Liang without stopping -
After a slight adjustment, Manchester United's No.7 faked a breakthrough in the full-court exclamation and shook off Azpilicueta, and then sent a low pass with his left foot -
The little monster who sprinted at high speed to grab the point and Courtois who was desperate to attack collided together, and the referee immediately blew the whistle!
Thierry Henry, who is also an assistant coach of the Belgian national team, stared at the field: "God......"
Carragher said: "Both team doctors have come in and hopefully these two are okay. β
Lukaku was picked up by Li Liang and Paul Pogba to the applause of the audience, and Kurzava on the other side looked similarly unproblematic.
Conte immediately called several disciples such as Azpilicueta, Kante and Hazard to the sidelines to set up nervously.
When the game finally resumed, Lu Yue said: "Chelsea have also changed their midfield position!
Eden Hazard stepped up to the midfield position, Alonso's position retreated to the defensive line, and they became a back five and began to defend intensively and wait for opportunities to counterattack! β
Faria said to Mourinho: "Jose, Antonio has figured out our tactics!
They took the initiative to compress the space in the backcourt like this, and it was difficult for Lee and Alexis to play! β
The magic bird remained silent, but took out a notepad and began to write.
The scene was in a stalemate, and it soon came to the 30th minute.
Xiao Yu, like the fans around him, began to get agitated when he saw the Red Devils players, especially Li Liang, repeatedly hit a wall in front of the Blues' dense defence.
Li Liang has been thinking nervously, and he is constantly trying to break the balance in his actions.
He could feel that, apart from the time when Tiemoue Bakayoko was in charge of defending himself, every on-the-spot adjustment was made against himself, his thighs and Pogba's attacking line.
In addition to the in-form Kurzawa, the Blues' three centre-backs were equally impressive, with fast and agile captain Cesar Azpilicueta, German big man Antonio Rudiger who combines speed and height and strength, and young Danish centre-back Andreas Christensen making it difficult for Romelu Lukaku to find a good shot on target.
The little monster is getting more and more impatient under close watch, and the fulcrum of the Red Devils in the front court has become less and less obvious.
The ties between Li Liang and his team-mates, who had been entangled like N'Golo Kante's plaster, were gradually severed, and Conte's tactics gradually began to gain the upper hand, and Chelsea's counter-attacks were getting sharper and sharper each time.
In the 37th minute, Valencia sent a long pass from the right side, and Willian launched a counterattack with the ball after clearing the ball with his header-
The Brazilian drove all the way to the midfield and dribbled to Eden Hazard before continuing to cut forward at high speed, who sent a delicate through ball in time for Willian to score with a volley into the box!
There was an uproar in the stadium, and the Blues fans who accompanied the team on the expedition celebrated wildly!
1:0οΌ Chelsea, playing away, were the first to break the deadlock on the pitch!
The Manchester United players were at a loss on the pitch, and the Blues crowd around Willian cheering and jumping!
Conte yelled at Uncle Bird, then walked to the sideline and shouted and applauded at his disciples.
The Magic Bird was grim-faced, and remained silent until the end of the first half.
Ferguson looked at Charlton helplessly: "This is an Italian-style defensive counterattack-"
Charlton replied: "It could be worse, Antonio has managed to make a mess of our new tactics!" β
In the home team's dressing room, Faria was still analyzing the goal just conceded, and the magic bird clearly saw that the disciples still did not get rid of the low state after conceding the goal.
After Faria finished speaking, the magic bird stood up: "Are you scared now?"
Are they scarier than Bayern, Manchester City and Liverpool?! β
Captain Valencia whispered, "I'm sorry, boss!
I'm to blame for that ball! β
Scott McTominay, who couldn't stop Hazard from delivering a lethal pass, lowered his head, and Ashley Young, who had been out of position when he conceded the ball, was equally remorseful.
Li Liang suddenly raised his hand: "Jose, I have an idea-"
At the start of the second half, neither side adjusted, and after a round Charlton and Ferguson focused at the same time -
Henry exclaimed in surprise: "I can't believe it, is this a new tactic from Jose?!" β
Carragher shook his head repeatedly: "Thierry (Henry), have you forgotten, this is not the first of its kind!"
Didn't ArsΓ¨ne (Arsene Wenger) arrange it that way?! β
Even Xiaoyu was surprised, Lukaku, who was 1.90 meters tall on the field, pulled to the right side, and only Sanchez, who was 1.69 meters, appeared in the center forward position!
