Chapter 397: Manchester United in Control of the Ball

was attracted by Hazard to take away a defender, Manchester United's backline players have more space, at this time Ashley Young has not returned from the front, Manchester United only has Valencia, Smalling, Lindelof three left in the backline!

It is obviously impossible for three people to take care of such a wide defensive line, so after Valencia was pulled away by Hazard, Lindelof did not dare to divide one person to go to the other side road after Smalling, in this case, they could only focus on defending the middle!

After receiving the ball, Jones pushed forward a few meters and passed the ball to the other side, and he was cutting forward into the box, at which time Willian rushed up from the right side, and Jones's pass was just right to his forward route.

Chelsea have played football into the Manchester United penalty area! At this time, the leakage of Manchester United's back line made Mourinho start to feel angry, Willian has already won the ball on the side and dribbled the ball into the Manchester United penalty area, while the other Manchester United players, they are still desperately trying to defend!

The situation now is Chelsea three against three, Willian, Jones, Hazard, and at the moment Willian is dribbling the ball and there are no defenders around him! As a last resort, Pogba desperately approached Willian and tried to stop Willian from dribbling!!

Willian entered the penalty area, cut inside and then made a gesture to shoot, Pogba couldn't control so much at this time, he fell directly to the ground, trying to block this William's shot.

Which Cheng thought that William didn't want to shoot at all, he directly passed diagonally to the other side! Hazard is killed!! Valencia was left behind by him!!

At this time, Smalling in the penalty area had to put down Jones and pounced on Hazard, and several people passed the ball in succession, raising the speed of the counterattack to the fastest!

These few rather fluid passes left the United players too late to return to the defense, and Hazard swung his calf and shot straight at goal! At this point, United had only three players in the box, including goalkeeper David De Gea, who did not dare to leave his goal.

Smalling slid at Hazard and fell to the ground, Smalling turned his whole body sideways to block the angle of Hazard's shot, but Hazard still shot the ball before Smalling could kick it!

"This time Chelsea's attack, Chelsea's attacking line is three against three, we saw the quick pass between Jones and Hazard and Willian, played this quick counterattack, Manchester United's goal is dangerous! It was a test for De Gea. ”

"Actually, if De Gea chooses to attack at this time, Hazard should be able to pass the ball, but we see that our goalkeeper De Gea is still standing firmly near the goal line, and he has no intention of attacking." Manchester United's commentator explains.

De Gea looked at the football that flew quickly to the other side, De Gea had no time to run at this time, so he could only seize the first place, jump to the right with all his strength on the spot, to intercept Eden Hazard's shot.

De Gea's luck! Although it happened suddenly, he picked a good position, and De Gea, who was in the air, eventually touched the ball with his hand.

As soon as the ball touched De Gea's hand, it immediately changed direction, smashed on the crossbar and bounced out!

'A perfect save from De Gea! De Gea kept the ball out with an incredible reflex that should have been a must-have shot!

After hitting the crossbar, the ball fell back into the United penalty area, and the danger was still not lifted! ”

Nemanja Matic rushed to the ball spot, but he couldn't control the ball and Willian grabbed it! However, under the siege of Lindelof and Ashley Young, Willian could not shoot directly on goal, and he chose to pass the football to Jones.

"Jones got the ball! Will he be able to shoot the ball into David De Gea's goal? Jones falls to the ground and shoots! The ball flew towards the goal. ”

At this time, De Gea has not gotten up yet, this time the shot is too close, De Gea has no time to get up to save, then put his hands on the ground, and then kick the ball to the football, the football was blocked by De Gea again with his foot, and then flew out of the bottom line!

"Wow! It's so exciting! It's incredible! In the space of just one minute, De Gea made two great saves! Especially the second save, which was a world-class save! This save is sure to be a classic save in the league! ”

The corner was taken, but N'Golo Kante's corner was so close to goalkeeper David De Ge that he leaped high to pick the ball off with ease, without giving Chelsea any chance to score.

For more than 10 minutes, neither team was able to create any more chances to score.

Even after three minutes of first-half stoppage time, both teams were unable to find the back of the net and Chelsea went into the break with a 1-0 scoreline.

Chelsea's players had a psychological advantage in the second half, after all, Chelsea were one goal ahead! So in the second half, the Manchester United players were holding back their energy to attack, which made the game start to open up.

Then Manchester United's attack became more and more sharp, and in the sixth minute of the second half, Lukaku's shot went high over the crossbar, 1-0, and this game was important for Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho was sitting in the dugout, the situation on the pitch was going in the direction he envisioned, and now the most important thing was to score goals, and Manchester United took advantage of the slackness of the Chelsea players to start attacking and it really worked well.

Chelsea's players wiped their sweat and felt that they couldn't stop Manchester United's current onslaught, and the second half was just ten minutes into the game, and the opponent had two shots on goal when they scored, so they could only try to do anything else, and if the score was pulled back, then the game would be a bit hanging.

Manchester United deserves to be a strong team in the Premier League, especially when Manchester United is behind, and when Chelsea is a little slack, Manchester United begins to attack!

Then Kodic began to go to the sidelines to direct the players, let the players stabilize their mentality, now for Chelsea, the most important thing is not to concede the ball, now the game time is still long, and Manchester United's two consecutive shots, so Chelsea's goal is a little dangerous, therefore, first seek to stabilize the defense, try not to let the opponent score!

Even Jones dropped back into the half-time to get involved in pressing on Manchester United's players, and with Chelsea consciously dropping back to defence, it wasn't easy for United to score.

Manchester United began to take control, they kept passing the ball, constantly tearing apart the Chelsea defence, and most importantly, the defensive Chelsea players could only keep moving with the football.

Defence-based players had to make a lot of runs to keep their formation intact and compact, with the ball in possession and with the ball at their feet, they made the most of the width of the pitch, with the ball at their feet, and in midfield, Nemanja Matic and Pogbag, who were in control, began to consume Chelsea through left and right movements.

Manchester United moved to the left, and Chelsea's entire defence had to move to the left, which meant that Manchester United only needed a pass to make all Chelsea players have to move their positions, although United did not score, and the passive defensive Chelsea were much more expensive than Manchester United.

A lot of players are starting to gasp, especially N'Golo Kante and Drinkwater, who are mainly responsible for defending in midfield, who need to run more and therefore consume more.
