Chapter 274: Deep Irony

In the final stages of the first half, as Chelsea's attack intensified, United's defence became more and more difficult, and the Chelsea players were holding back their strength when they were behind, which made the team's attack more and more fluid, and almost a minute to complete a shot, which really made Ferguson scared and unbearable.

Even with stoppage time, it was only three minutes before the end of the first half, but the old Jazz still chose to make a substitution, and in Ferguson's mind, victory is the most important thing.

In the 44th minute, taking advantage of a sideline kick, the fourth official raised the substitution card for Manchester United: No. 6 Wes. Brown replaces No. 18 Paul. Paul Scholes comes on.

Wes. Brown, many people may not have heard of his name, but at just 26 years old, Brown is already a veteran centre-back for Manchester United, having played for the club for seven and a half seasons. Back in '03, Alex Ferguson said of Brown: "He's undoubtedly the best defender the club has had in years. ”

This kind of praise from the old Jazz is really rare, and it completely speaks to Brown's defensive strength.

Obviously, he replaced Wayne. Brown's aim is to strengthen the defense, and even the old Jazz has a hunch that if he doesn't do something, Chelsea will tie the score!

The veteran Scholes who was replaced didn't say anything, and in the Manchester United team, with Ferguson's status and prestige, there was no need to think about other people's ideas, so that every time Manchester United made a substitution, he was very decisive. Even if these players are a little depressed, they rarely say it directly.

Seeing this substitution, the narrator Creed. Peswak commented: "Manchester United couldn't stop Chelsea's attack, they brought on a defender instead and it was clear that the old Scottish man was worried about their goal! ”

"Before the game, this old man kept saying that he wanted to play a wonderful offensive game with Chelsea, and it turned out that they didn't have that strength, and they immediately became turtles on the field, this is Manchester United, the 'giants' who will only win by despicable means! It can be said that from now on, the Premier League has entered Chelsea time, and Manchester United is a thing of the past!! ”

At this point, the crowd of Blues fans was also excited, because in the past, Chelsea could only be regarded as a powerhouse compared to Manchester United - a powerhouse could never threaten the status of a big club.

But now, even though Chelsea were behind on the pitch, the real Manchester United were unable to fight back and forced them to make substitutions late in the first half to supplement the backline, which brought tears to the eyes of many elderly Blues fans - they had waited for this moment for too long!!

The excitement of the Blues fans was so much that in stoppage time, the cheers from the crowd grew louder and hotter, with the East Stand, led by a Chelsea Supporters' Association president, singing the thrilling song "Blueisthecolour"!!

Even though the referee had already whistled to signal that the first half was over, the fans still consciously did not stop, and even the Chelsea players who had just breathed a sigh of relief also sang along, waiting for the assistant coach to call them back to the dressing room.

……… Wayne walked slowly back to the locker room from the bench next to the players' tunnel. Rooney looked at the enthusiasm on the pitch and couldn't help but say to his teammates next to him: "These fans are so cute! ”

"yes, as cute as a Manchester United fan! Today, though, we're going to let them down. "Roy. Keane followed, patted Rooney on the shoulder, and said.

"Haha...... victory is a must because we are Manchester United!" Rooney said with his fists clenched, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, because in this game, Ferguson had no intention of letting him play at all, and if he replaced Scholes, he should be the most suitable, but the old Jazz replaced a defender, which made him feel that he had no chance to play.

"Come on, we're Manchester United!!" Speaking of the word Manchester United, Roy. Keane's eyes grew firm.

……… The few minutes that scared Manchester United finally passed, and the players from both sides returned to the dressing room, but the blue singing in the stands was still loud, a kind of persistence, faith and determination!!

When Jose. When Jose Mourinho walked into the dressing room, the Chelsea players were somewhat disappointed. In the first half, they won the game, but lost the score, and even Wang Li sat in a corner dullly, silently recovering his physical strength.

But there was not much loss on the face of the Portuguese, in the form of the first half, if Chelsea continued to maintain this attacking intensity, it was only a matter of time before he scored, besides, Chelsea have won nine in a row, even if this game is lost, it has nothing to do with him, it is all the fault of the team's face-loving chairman, isn't it?

However, Mourinho certainly won't throw in easily, clapping his hands and attracting the attention of all the players, before starting to plan for the second half.

'In the first half, everyone played well, even if they were behind now, it was nothing, and in the second half we continued to play with that attacking posture, and it was impossible for the United defence to withstand our attack.

"Alan, in the second half, your position is slightly precedent, walk more in the middle, reduce the number of passes appropriately, and find opportunities to shoot yourself."

Obviously, compared to other frontcourt players, Mourinho has more trust in Wang Li, at least his offensive efficiency is much higher, and he will not waste many opportunities in vain, after he hesitated a little after speaking, he reminded: "Frank, you must always pay attention to the backfield while organizing the attack, to prevent the opponent's counterattack, if they let them sneak attack again, the game will not be good." ”

Frank Lampard nodded knowingly, signalling that he would pay more attention, and then Mourinho continued to set the rest of the squad on the task.

In the heart of this 'madman', every player is a small part of the team, as long as they do their part and do their job exactly according to his tactical deployment, then the game will be tilted in the direction of Chelsea's victory, of course, the goal still depends on some luck, which can only increase the probability of winning.

After the tactics and tasks of the players in the second half were arranged, Mourinho glanced at the players present with his eyes and asked calmly: "Manchester United is undoubtedly the most successful club in England in the past 20 years, they have won many honors, but why do many stars still choose to join Liverpool, Chelsea and even other teams?" ”

Listening to Mourinho's words, the players below all frowned and thought about it, and only Wang Li grinned and said: "Because I believe that even in Chelsea, you can win the championship!" ”

At the time of the transfer, Wang Li felt that with his own strength, as long as he joined a team of players who were likely to win the championship, he could fight for various honors, so he replied without hesitation.

The Portuguese was clearly pleased with this answer, and he gave Wang Li an appreciative look and continued: "Alan is right, as a professional footballer, the reason why you joined Chelsea is of course the treatment, and more importantly, you feel that you can get the honour at Chelsea!!" ”

'So, in a moment, the second half is going to be played and Manchester United are the opponents who stand in our way, what do we do?'

Jose Mourinho rarely agitates players in the dressing room, but he has a strange charm in his own right, which makes these players more or less revered and afraid of him in their hearts, which makes it difficult for Chelsea players on the pitch not to play hard.

And now, the words of the 'madman' have the same sensational effect!!

"Defeat them!!"

"Let them know it's awesome!!"

"We'll win!!"

…… Jose. Jose Mourinho is very good at grasping the hearts of the players, very few professional players will have a sense of belonging to the club, only things related to their own interests will they care more, if it is for Chelsea to win the title, maybe half of the players will not have much interest, but when it is said to win the title for themselves, then the interest will increase greatly.

"Boss, don't worry, I'll score in the second half!!"

After the enthusiasm of the players' answers dropped, Wang Li said word by word, however, compared to other players, this sentence is the most convincing, no football player dares to be sure that he can score in a competition of the same level, but Wang Li can, with the assistance of martial arts, he fully believes that he has this ability!!

Looking at Wang Li's confident face, the locker room was silent for a long time, and after a long while, Brigitte said jokingly: "Alan, I appreciate the way you say this the most, every time there is a silver aura spreading around you, no wonder so many English girls come to cheer for you!" ”

"Fuck off, that's called self-confidence!"

The haughty scene was ruined by Bridget, and Wang Li became angry and kicked Bridget to the ground.

“**! You don't have to be so strong!! ”

On the floor, Bridget rubbed her ass and stood up grievingly, causing a burst of laughter in the locker room.

……… The Chelsea dressing room has turned from loneliness to laughter, while the visitors' dressing room is the complete opposite.

Originally, at Stamford Bridge, even though the first half had been pressed and played, it seemed that there was no style of a giant at all, but Manchester United always had a one-goal lead, so these players were in a good mood, and they believed that with Sir Alex Ferguson's tactical adjustments, the game would be won.

But after the old Jazz laid out the tactics, the laughter of the Manchester United team no longer existed, but the whole was lost. Just because, Ferguson's tactics in the second half were - defensive counterattack!!

How ridiculous it is that Manchester United, the Premier League's biggest clubs, who were clamoring for a hearty battle with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge before the game, had to play a counter-attack after taking a one-goal lead!!

Deep irony!!
