Chapter 0358 - Overtake
Mourinho kept walking back and forth, thinking of a plan.
He knew he had to adjust, and everyone knew it, but the question was how?
Nemanja Matic and Ramirez are crucial to the presence of the midfielder, without whom the attack would not have been able to play.
Especially considering that Manchester United is pressing so hard and fighting so hard now, replacing one will affect the team.
To be honest, he didn't expect Louis van Gaal to replace Juan Mata either.
Januzaj was a midfielder, but he went to play central midfield, and he went back to cut in the line.
And it seems that Van Gaal has not limited his area of activity, just now on the right side, this time, he turned around, and ran to the left side to find Herrera to cooperate, very active, but also very erratic.
Fellaini has a wide range of movement, and Matic and Ramirez can't hold him down either. In addition, Rooney alone has held back Chelsea's two central defenders, John Terry and Gary Cahill. As a result, Chelsea would have to have four players in the middle of the box and in the middle of the big box. But Manchester United only used two players. So, on the side, Manchester United has a numerical advantage.
"Tricks! It's really a trick! Mourinho shook his head and sighed.
He had to admit that Van Gaal's substitution was a bit risky, like a hurry, but it was very clever.
………………
Januzaj joined up Ashley Young on the right, who forced his way past Branislav Ivanovic before crossing again.
In the box, Wayne Rooney grabbed the first spot between John Terry and Gary Cahill.
But this time, he was crooked!
'We have to adjust as soon as possible, Ramirez can't hold on.' Assistant Teacher Rui Faria stepped forward to remind.
This season, Ramires has been plagued by injuries, playing games on and off, and his form has not been good.
And he only recently came back, he has played very few games, and he can't last long to deal with such a high-intensity game.
Mourinho also understands in his heart, but Ramires is down, how can the team's attack play? Who will partner Nemanja Matic?
But he is experienced in the end, and he knows that he can't hesitate at such a time.
"Go, put Cesc Fabregas and Oscar on the pitch and replace Ramirez and Willian!"
Rui Falia understood, but was a little strange, and asked, "Counterpoint substitution?" ”
Mourinho nodded and said: "Yes, try to give the ball to Oscar, and he will hold the ball in the front court and plan the attack!" ”
Rui Faria nodded and said, "Good! ”
………………
"Mourinho has also made substitutions!" In the box, Ferguson was explaining the game to Zeng Zhi, "It seems that he also has to adjust the attack, Oscar can hold the ball in the frontcourt, Willian cannot, as long as Oscar holds the ball, Hazard, Drogba, Fabregas, and even Matic can quickly plug in and participate in the attack." ”
Jose Mourinho has just made a substitution, and Van Gaal is also actively making adjustments.
After the restart, Cesc Fabregas was in Ramirez's position instead of being pulled to the wing.
There was also a change on United's side, with Januzaj moving forward and joining Marouane Fellaini to put pressure on Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas.
"Both sides are famous coaches, and the adjustment is very fast and timely!" Ferguson said.
As a veteran coach who has been coaching Manchester United for 26 years, although he has been away from first-line coaching for nearly two years, his vision has not deteriorated at all, after all, it is due to his decades of coaching experience.
Zeng Zhi can also understand it, he can see that Van Gaal means to let go of Oscar, focus on suppressing Matic and Cesc Fabregas, and disconnect Chelsea's midfield from the front line.
"There's a chance!" Zeng Zhi said with confidence.
………………
After a run-in period of substitution, the two sides soon re-engaged in fierce confrontation and competition.
One clear sign is that United have kept Chelsea's midfield under bay.
Although there is an Oscar in front, the problem is that the midfielder can't get the ball.
This made the Red Devils fans in the stands excited one by one, just waiting for the team to strike while the iron was hot and go to the next city.
The same goes for the players on the pitch and they all know it's an opportunity.
In football, momentum is important. It is not a problem to grasp the momentum and stage a big reversal in one go.
………………
Chelsea took the ball again, and Nemanja Matic broke free of Fellaini's grip and passed to Cesc Fabregas.
"Cesc Fabregas makes a long pass to Oscar ......"
"Smalling was in a good position, grabbed the first point and cleared the ball with a header."
There was a wave of boos from the stands, which was a bit of displeasure for the Chelsea fans.
It's the first time this is, or is it a long pass looking for Oscar, can't you change something fresh?
………………
Smalling's header fell to Carrick.
Drogba pressed up, Carrick blocked Drogba with his body, slammed his left foot, and passed diagonally to the left.
Di Maria picked up the ball on the flank, and Azpilicueta rushed to the top of the action.
Nemanja Matic was also active and decisive in defending to assist Cesar Azpilicueta.
Di Maria's performance in this game was very average under the joint efforts of the two. But this time......
"Di Maria takes the ball...... Start, the action is very fast, I want to go to the bottom, buckle sharply, and pass Azpilicueta! ”
"Beautiful! Matic defensively, one through the crotch, it's over! ”
I saw Di Maria skillfully control the ball with his feet on the left side, and he forced a bloody way out of the middle between Azpilicueta and Nemanja Matic.
Especially in the last one, I wore the crotch past Matic, which was very exciting!
This scene also made the Manchester United fans in the stands cheer!
"It's time to pass, Di Maria!"
In the face of Terry, who was decisive in the grab, Di Maria tucked his right foot horizontally. The ball almost grazed the line of the penalty area, from the left side of the arc area to the right.
Who to look for?
"Januzai !!!"
The stadium was in an uproar, with tens of thousands of fans shouting in surprise.
I saw Januzaj receiving Di Maria's cross at the edge of the penalty area.
"Stop the ball, stop!"
"Wayne Rooney, Rooney, Rooney, hit!"
"The ball is in!!!!"
……
Rooney picked Cahill in the box, rushed to stop Januzaj's through ball, and then pushed with his right foot, which grazed the right post and rolled into the bottom right corner of the Chelsea goal.
“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!”
"Rooney! Wayne Rooney's goal!! ”
"Manchester United! Manchester United were so good in the second half! ”
"In the 73rd minute, Manchester United assisted Wayne Rooney to score the winning goal with Januzaj's precise through ball!"
