Chapter 159: Offensive
"Marcus Rashford!! Single-handed!! ”
Marcus Rashford slipped past David Luiz in one step, but he also took the ball out a little bit and Rashford's main foot was right-footed, so he was used to putting the ball in the right-footed position before shooting.
But this is the moment when the pace slows down, and the experienced centre-back Gary Cahill is pressing!
"Marcus Rashford was delayed for a short time, and the chance for a single shot was gone."
The Chelsea fans in the stands were a little relieved that Stamford Bridge was intimidated when Marcus Rashford scored a solo goal before.
"Well done!! Gary!!!! ”
Fans in the stands near the side of the goal cheered for Gary Cahill.
Now it's Marcus Rashford and Gary Cahill going head-to-head!!
Marcus Rashford didn't have time to frustrate that he had just made a big move, because even if it was one-on-one, the advantage was now in the hands of the attacking side!!
However, Rashford's time is running out, Azpilicueta and David Luiz are already running back, once they are in place, it will be difficult for Rashford to have such a good chance again!!
Gary Cahill stared at the young Rashford, he has a lot of experience in defense, the center of gravity is low, he does not intend to rush to break the ball directly, for the defender, as long as the opposing striker is entangled, there will naturally be his teammates to fill the holes in the defensive line, which Gary Cahill is very confident in his two partners.
Gary Cahill jammed Rashford's inward line and let go of the perimeter.
And goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was quick to figure it out, he stuck in the near corner and didn't come out completely.
As well as Chelsea's defenders are in high gear, United's attacking players are also running forward at high speed, and if Courtois throws the ball away, if Rashford passes the ball, United have a chance to go into the empty net.
Rashford could already feel David Luiz's rapid breath running towards him.
I'm running out of time!!
Marcus Rashford pedaled a bike and then dribbled the ball to the outside line.
As Gary Cahill expected, but Gary Cahill is here for age after all, even if he guesses where Rashford is going, the rhythm still can't keep up!!
Marcus Rashford's handling this time was very detailed, and his stroke was not too big, which allowed him to complete the rest of the move smoothly.
After he took a step on the outside to get past Gary Cahill, he quickly turned around and went inside!!
The holeshot that Gary Cahill didn't follow up in time was caught by Rashford!!
'Marcus Rashford !!!!!!!'
In the roar of the commentator, Rashford pushes a shot!!
Thibaut Courtois was defending the near corner, while Marcus Rashford did come from the outside.
But then Rashford's move startled Courtois, and he rushed out to block the angle of Rashford's shot!!
The Chelsea fans behind him collectively hugged their heads as if they had been remotely controlled.
And then there was a burst of exclamation from the Chelsea fans....
Courtois!! Courtois made a world-class save !!! ”
'He kept Rashford's shot out with his calf!! Marcus Rashford.... He still has to learn more from Li Qingshan in shooting... This is a one-on-one chance!! ”
Rashford, who had lost a single knife, jumped on the spot, his expression like constipation.....
"Courtois has made a meritorious service!! Chelsea are in trouble!! ”
Conte, who was drinking water on the sidelines, held a water bottle that was still there, and the water was left on the Italian's black suit, but Conte, who had a piece of empty head, did not notice it. It wasn't until Courtois blocked the ball that Conte breathed a sigh of relief and put the water bottle in his mouth, but the water in the bottle was almost finished...
This was followed by a corner for United, this time in the hands of Juan Mata.
At the back post, Liaoyama Lia, David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta headed the ball down the middle, Pogba cut in the middle and volleyed the ball over the crossbar!!
"Oh...... Manchester United have once again missed a great chance to score!! In the space of two minutes, United had two great chances to change the scoreline, but Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba missed the chance to score! Andy Gray chanted from the commentary box, 'If Chelsea think they can easily beat Manchester United with a numerical advantage, then they need to be ready to lose!' ”
"This is Manchester United!!"
yes, it's Manchester United!
Thibaut Courtois and David Luiz looked at each other with horror in their eyes, and the expressions of the rest of the Chelsea players were not much better, with United's attack coming suddenly and nothing in the making.
The feeling for the Chelsea players is that when United want to score, they can create those chances every minute. It's also a big deal for Chelsea's players to be scared.
After being scared, the Chelsea players immediately got their fighting spirits up.
There are only ten of them left, and if we can't win, then we're too incompetent!!
Chelsea's squad is full of stars and the stars certainly won't admit they are incompetent.
So when the game resumed, the pressure on United's backline increased.
"William !!!!!"
Coming back, Willian cut inside on the right flank past Paul Pogba and curled a curling shot!!
The ball looks like it's heading for the goal, and the commentators are already stretching their pitches, ready for a goal!!
"De Gea!!!!! World-class saves!! ”
However, the brewing of emotions immediately turned into a praise for De Gea.
Like a carp leaping out of the water, De Gea flew up and slapped the ball out of the corner with one palm!!
"A good goalkeeper tops the top half of the team!! Two minutes earlier, Thibaut Courtois had saved Marcus Rashford's one-on-one goal, and Willian was followed by an unbelievable long-range effort from David De Gea!! Duan Xuan said, "Manchester United's defense is indeed difficult to withstand Chelsea's attack, after all, now Manchester United has one less player, Chelsea can easily create space through passing, maybe for Manchester United, shrinking the defense in the penalty area is safer." ”
From a Chelsea corner, Nemanja Matic cut in from the back and headed straight at the goalkeeper and the ball went wide of the post, startling the United fans.
Two threatening attacks in a row gave Chelsea a boost of confidence and they started to push in attack and prepare to score a goal in the first half!
Eleven against ten, the Chelsea players are very confident in that.
'Chelsea's offensive is going to pick up.... After all, they are ahead in numbers. Willian's strike led Andy Grey to believe Chelsea were soon on the verge of a wave of attacks.
