Chapter 227: The Last Struggle
The game resumed, with Chelsea taking the lead and Manchester United launching a frantic attack, with Jones in the centre circle not handing the ball back, but moving it directly to the right, where Eden Hazard cut in at high speed to catch the ball.
Manchester United also didn't expect Jones to dare to suddenly pass the football to the side of the front when serving in the middle circle, so the Manchester United players did not react, Hazard cut in at high speed to catch up with the football, and Smaling ran over in order to seal Hazard's position.
When Smarin ran over, Hazard suddenly stretched out his foot and picked the ball back, and the ball immediately flew over Smarin's head and flew behind him, Hazard quickly turned sideways, dodged the rushing Smarin, and then quickly picked the ball to the middle, and the ball flew quickly to the feet of Jones, who was inserted in the middle.
Jones slid forward with his head swinging rapidly, staring at the speeding ball, Valencia immediately pounced, ran past Jones, and he jumped high to top the ball.
But at this point, Jones jumped up before him, resisted Valencia in the air, came with a header and swung the ball back to Costa who was following in the middle.
'Oh, Eden Hazard's beautiful pick-and-roll, Jones' header against Valencia, Costa's quick follow-up to catch the ball, Chelsea's back-to-back play was just beautiful. The narrator explained.
"It's dangerous!" The Manchester United commentator exclaimed, and the United fans stared at the football in the stadium with wide eyes.
Costa, who came up from the frenzied impact, jumped high in the Manchester United penalty area and stopped the football in front of him with his chest, just landed, and directly pumped his right foot to the football, and the football smashed into the Manchester United goal.
De Gea in front of the goal did not react at all, and the football smashed on the crossbar of Manchester United's goal, knocking on the crossbar, and the Manchester United commentator also said with palpitations: "Today is really lucky, it seems that luck is on our side, otherwise, Chelsea would have come back to play us with a goal, this ball is simply very lucky, thank God!" ”
"Whew!" Manchester United fans flared their chests and exhaled a few big breaths, this ball is too dangerous.
"The three of Chelsea worked together very well, the passing and the shooting were very beautiful! Whether it was Hazard's lob pass, accurate long pass, or Jones's turning back Mochizuki ferry pass, or Costa's chest stop, and then the volley was very exciting, if this goal was scored, it would definitely be the best goal of the league, but unfortunately, luck was not on Chelsea's side. ”
Costa, who hit the football on the crossbar, covered his face with his hands and looked up and sighed, Jones walked over when he saw it and patted Costa on the shoulder: "Costa, you don't have to be sad, we still have a great chance." ”
Kodic, who was on the sidelines, saw the football popping off the crossbar and the bottom line, and he also turned around in place a few times angrily: "Damn God, this goal doesn't go in, you really want to help Manchester United." ”
Mourinho on the other side was startled, and couldn't help but get up and go over to command the team, Chelsea's attacking strength this season is really strong, it seems that the last few minutes can not be taken lightly, Mourinho immediately walked to the sidelines, signaled his players to cheer up, continue to strengthen the attack, score goals if they can, don't be scored by Chelsea.
De Gea got the ball and immediately sent it out and drove it up front, Cahill saw the ball flying over, jumped high and pushed it out from behind Lukaku, and the ball immediately flew to the feet of N'Golo Kante on the wing.
After Kante received the ball, he continued to dial the football, a few crazy changes of direction, and directly stunned the defenders who came up to defend him, seeing that Valencia had been shaken, Kante began to dribble forward, and after quickly passing Valencia, he ran quickly with the ball, and after a one-two with Costa, he quickly slipped away, and the Manchester United players were shocked and frantically pounced.
But at this moment, Kante immediately crossed with his feet, and the football flew into the penalty area, where Jones rushed in quickly, rushed to the flying football, swung his head to meet the ball, and smashed the football into the Manchester United goal.
Amid the screams of the Manchester United fans, the ball once again grazed the crossbar and Chelsea once again missed the goal.
"Jones found Cahill and said, we don't have much time captain, even if it is a draw, we will be surpassed by Manchester City, from now on we will press Manchester United in the backfield, we have to score first, as long as this game is won, the psychology of Manchester City players will definitely change, besides, other teams will not let Manchester City go so easily, and we must be the ones who win the championship in the end."
Jones dribbled the ball and was ready to break through as usual, but as soon as he started Bailly, he rushed up and hit him hard, Jones's center of gravity was unstable but his feet were not flustered, he was very experienced in protecting the ball, and did not forget to use this time to make a feint and dangle a shot.
Bailly was really fooled, before Jones's action was finished, Bailly's body was stuck in the direction of Jones's feigned breakthrough, he did not jam the direction of Jones's breakthrough, Jones had already skillfully handed the ball to Costa, who was already waiting in the center circle.
As soon as the ball reached Costa's feet, Valencia followed, Costa raised his right arm to cushion Valencia's impact, stepped on the ball with his left foot and turned, and a half turn successfully broke through Valencia from the left side, and his right foot kicked hard and rushed out, Valencia was still preparing to play a game of hard work with Costa, but he was left in place by a person.
Costa shook off Valencia's close defense and began to run wildly with the ball, Valencia could only look at the ball and sigh, Costa ran with the ball.
Valencia's breakthrough by Costa was something the United players did not expect, and apart from the shot just now, Valencia's defense against Costa was so easy that they almost froze Chelsea's attack by themselves.
But all of a sudden, Costa broke through his defence with ease, and suddenly put United's backline into combat readiness, and Valencia was already trying to catch up! He thought to himself that holding on for a while would be victory.
United were not slow to defend, and the Chelsea players were also very fast, with the two wings cutting forward at high speed to support, Cesc Fabregas exerted all his strength to disrupt the United defenders in the box, and Jones also pulled towards the gap on the left side of the United flank.
