Chapter 346: Excited Father
Just 3 minutes after Liu Yun scored, Mourinho made a decisive substitution!
Jose Mourinho replaces Lukaku with Victor Lindelof! Replace a striker and bring on a defender. Mourinho's intentions are clear, strengthen the defense! Defend the advantage of 2 goals!
When Victor Lindelof came on the pitch, he conveyed the manager's intentions to the veteran captain Valencia. Valencia then made a gesture to his teammates β to defend with all their might.
Liu Yun and Ibrahimovic both shrank into their own half to participate in the defense.
Chelsea seem to be looking to save some face in front of 40,000 home fans. They attacked the United defence in a frenzied manner for the remaining 25 minutes.
Even Blues defender Luiz had already made it to United's half.
In the 73rd minute, Chelsea made a substitution, replacing N'Golo Kante and replacing Eden Hazard, who had just returned from injury.
Eden Hazard is the man known as the "successor of Messi". Recently, the team just offered him a big contract with a four-year salary of Β£300,000 a week. Hazard seemed eager to prove his worth as soon as he came on.
In the 75th minute, Hazard made a clever pass to Morata in the penalty area, and Morata headed the ball into the goal, but the ball was saved by De Gea.
In the 77th minute, Eden Hazard fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box, and the ball bounced off Bailly's body.
Corner kick!
Eden Hazard's corner is headed straight to the back post. At the back post, Pedro got up under Valencia's close marker and the ball flew off.
After a long period of attack, Chelsea's players are becoming more and more impatient. The action is out of shape, and the quality of the attack is getting worse and worse. The smell of gunpowder on the field gradually became stronger.
In the 83rd minute, Bakayoko pulled Blind. The referee decisively pulled out a yellow card.
In the 85th minute, Moses unexpectedly flashed the spikes when he tackled Ibrahimovic. Another yellow card.
Valencia, worthy of being the old captain of Manchester United, directly surrounded the referee with Blind and Lindelof to protest that the penalty was too light.
The referee put his hand in front of his chest pocket, meaning that if you pester, I will have to pull out the cards.
Valencia's purpose of stalling for time had been achieved, and she immediately shrugged her shoulders and returned to her place with Blind and Lindelof.
Now for the players of Manchester United, it is a second to be able to drag it out. Procrastination is always the only way for the leading team to keep the victory at the last minute.
There were two minutes of stoppage time in the second half.
With Cesc Fabregas' long-range shot over the crossbar, the game was over!
Manchester United won the red and blue battle! Brought home three points from Stamford Bridge! Old lieutenant Liu Yun helped Manchester United win the victory with a brace!
As soon as the game ended, Mourinho rushed to the field with the coaching staff and substitute players to hug and celebrate with his players! The significance of the red-blue clash was far-reaching, and to be able to win this game was to pull the first stone on the road to rebuilding Manchester United.
Liu Yun, who scored two goals alone, was thrown into the sky by his teammates.
The father's game was won, and on the other field, the daughter's game was nearing the end.
St Amphy's only needs five more points to win the overall English Secondary School Olympiad!
Liu Xiaoyan rushed to answer! The answer is correct! St. Anffei's College wins! Liu Xiaoyan hugged her teammates from St. Anfe School!
The UK Secondary School Mathematics Olympiad Finals is an open competition. The paparazzi at The Sun were the first to get the news to Stamford Bridge.
At the post-match press conference, The Sun grabbed the first opportunity to ask questions.
"Hello, old lieutenant. I just received the news that 10 minutes ago, your daughter and her classmates won the All England Secondary School Mathematics Olympiad. What do you think of this victory for your daughter? β
The Sun is the most authoritative source of lace journalism in the UK. Their problems are completely out of the scope of the Premier League's red-blue matchup.
Liu Yun's phone was left in the locker room. He didn't know his daughter had won. When he learned the news from the reporter of The Sun, he was incoherent with excitement!
Liu Yun has been in the UK for quite a short time, and he has already learned to deal with a media in fluent English in his post-match press conferences. But now he stammered and replied, "Championγγγγγ That's really γγγγγ Oh my goodness! β
Liu Yun paused: "Please forgive me, is it okay for me to calm down and answer your question?" β
There was a round of goodwill applause in the press room. Old lieutenant Liu Yun, the No. 1 tough guy in the Premier League, showed the gentle side of being a father in front of a group of reporters.
Everyone knows, just over a month ago. For the safety of his daughter, the old lieutenant Liu Yun fought with armed robbers!
Liu Yun smiled and continued: "I've never been so excited about a match. Never! β
The Sun reporter knowingly asked: "Old lieutenant, do you mean the game against Chelsea or γγγγγ β
Liu Yun replied: "Of course it's my daughter's game!" My daughter is my pride! Being able to win the competition is the result of her own hard work! I'm so happy for her, and I'm happy for myself to have such a wonderful daughter! β
Liu Yun's warm words seemed to dilute the smell of gunpowder in the post-match press conference of the red and blue battle.
Conte, who was holding back the fire in his belly, even stretched out his hand to the old lieutenant Liu Yun beside him: "Congratulations, old lieutenant." I think the championship that your daughter won is no less than winning the Big Ears Cup in your heart. β
"Thank you!" Liu Yun said.
Mourinho also stretched out his hand: "Old lieutenant! When I got back to Manchester, I went to the hotel I was renting. I'm driving a celebratory ladder. One is to celebrate the victory of the red and blue battle, and the other is to celebrate your daughter winning the championship! β
Liu Yun lowered his voice and said, "Boss, can I withdraw from the press conference in advance." Picked up my daughter from Eton College. β
Mourinho nodded, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile: "Friends of the media. Excuse me, our old lieutenant was in a hurry to pick up his daughter from Eton College. Everyone's understanding, is it okay to let him leave early? β
A group of media reporters responded with applause.
Liu Yun got out of Stamford Bridge, took a taxi and went straight to Eton College in the suburbs of London.
In the auditorium of Eton College, an award ceremony is underway.
The presenter turned out to be Stephen Hawking! After all, this is an all-British Olympiad for secondary school students, and it is not unusual to invite a heavyweight award presenter like Stephen Hawking.
Hawking gave a short lecture in a wheelchair on the relationship between mathematics and physics. His assistant then hung five medals around the necks of five St. Anfe students on his behalf.
Liu Xiaoyan was so excited that she couldn't help herself.
Liu Yun sat on a chair in the auditorium, tears welling up in his eyes. Her daughter had been severely ill, but now she has grown up and achieved thisγγγγγ Liu Yun wanted to cry, but he couldn't.
Isabella, who was sitting in the first row, sent a text message to Liu Yun: "Do you know what Hawking said to our daughter just now? He said to our daughter: Oh, you are a good girl! β
