In the season when the world first guard was offline, Ye Yifeng did not encounter the problem of extreme individual defense in the Premier League and Champions League this season.

If there is only one defender standing in front of him, there has never been a moment when he is helpless.

Even if you must have been successfully intercepted by the broken ball, there are always ideas and ways to complete the single kill.

At Stamford Bridge today, there were signs that he could face the strongest defence he has faced this season.

In the second half, Manchester United and Chelsea changed sides.

Chelsea, who defended successfully in the first half, grew more confident.

When Ye Yifeng came to join forces with Marcus Rashford on the left to try to break down the Azpilicueta defence, Kante returned to the box in time.

The foundation of the defense is, of course, to compress space.

Ye Yifeng could only create chances in the limit space and avoided going head-to-head with N'Golo Kante.

Kante, who has developed from a full-time defensive midfielder to a central midfielder or even a forward midfielder since the Sarri era, can be said to have taken a detour and wasted his youth.

The use of him in the Frank Lampard era is back in the past, after all, Lampard was a player with the likes of Claude Makelele and then Essien, and he knows how good N'Golo Kante is as a defender and how important it is to the team's defence.

However, I have taken a detour before, and it will take some time to come back again.

N'Golo Kante has been getting back on track this season, but Frank Lampard has not been able to make it to spring.

Tuchel continued Frank Lampard's use of N'Golo Kante after taking over, or allowing him to do what he does best.

Shi Yikan started in good shape today, suppressing and freezing B fees one after another, and from time to time he could make Pogba, who was inserted behind, look helpless.

Despite not contributing much to the attack, N'Golo Kante's form is improving rapidly.

Even a little crazy!

The expressionless and unsmiling French little black egg shuttled back and forth in the backfield, with a very wide range of defensive coverage, and the wonderful interception at the critical moment was also an alternative enjoyment in the eyes of the audience.

On the other hand, Manchester United's attack went from finding rhythm to finding form, vividly interpreting what it is to be in a situation of struggle after being restrained by defense.

When Ye Yifeng started to go to the flanks to try to play a local advantage, Kante also began to concentrate on defending him.

As for B Fei and Pogba, due to the restraint in the first half, they are now almost completely pinning their hopes on Ye Yifeng.

Whenever United are in such a predicament, Pogba subconsciously refreshes in their minds what Jose Mourinho once said.

They are only beneficiaries of heroism.

Their years are quiet, and it is Ye Yifeng who is moving forward with a load!

Ye Yifeng repeatedly faced Azpilicueta, and Kante blocked his outside line, so he could only go to the inside line close to the bottom line.

It's too easy for your opponent to predict success.

Marseille rotated on the spot, turned around with his back to break through, and suddenly the scorpion swung his tail to pass the ball, and Ye Yifeng tried his best to create no obvious threat.

Cesar Azpilicueta was solid, N'Golo Kante was crazy today, Chelsea with a back three had two defenders and full-back Hudson-Odoi at back.

Manchester United's disadvantage in the first half almost laid the foundation, and the second half was also against the wind.

Ye Yifeng experienced the difficulty of playing center.

Once you can't play early, it's really difficult to improve later.

Chelsea's defence was almost airtight, but the counter-attack was still unthreatening.

It seems that their defenders have removed the words offense, goals, and wins from their minds.

Tuchel has tweaked this Chelsea team to start with defence.

Hone your strongest defense first, and then think about offense.

It's going to be a single-game knockout game.

The crowd could barely see Chelsea's desire to win.

But every time he defended successfully, Tuchel applauded his team on the sidelines.

Carrick was confused.

Is Chelsea out of contention?

Or is it that against Manchester United, Chelsea are so low that they can be satisfied with a draw at home?

He couldn't figure it out.

The game went to 75 minutes.

Both teams made substitutions.

Ye Yifeng hung up.

Although Ye Yifeng knew in his heart that if he didn't invite the gods to come today, he might not be able to settle Chelsea.

But he still chose the new prize pool with a lot of iron.

I hope that my enthusiasm for scratching the prize can move the plug-in.

Then the plug-in gave him an Arsenal Ramsey.

Ye Yifeng's egg shattered to the ground.

Now it has really become a character.

Manchester United brought on Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani.

Chelsea, on the other hand, replaced Callum Hudson-Odoi, who had received a yellow card, for James.

Olivier Giroud was also brought on Timo Werner.

Christian Pulisic replaces Hakim Ziyech.

Chelsea's extreme counter-attacking play has remained even more unchanged, and even the fulcrum of the center forward is gone.

Ye Yifeng singled on the left side, and the problems he encountered before were not solved.

A new problem arises again.

Chelsea further compressed the midfield, causing Manchester United to want to pass the ball to Ye Yifeng, but it was also blocked very tightly, and Ye Yifeng's position retreated very deeply, and then launched an offensive forward, and the defense line in front of him was even more impermeable!

And after the retreat, he faced N'Golo Kante head-on.

The French little black egg rushed directly to force one after another when he was in possession of the ball, and if Kante, who was in explosive form, was a little higher, I am afraid that he would have to ride Ye Yifeng's face output!

Ye Yifeng wanted to cooperate with his teammates, but B Fei and Pogba were both offline.

In the last few minutes of the game, Ye Yifeng tried his luck to seize the opportunity to shoot a long shot, but he was also a little hasty, and two consecutive planes made Tuchel applaud constantly on the sidelines.

The final whistle blew.

The two teams exchanged blanks.

Manchester United will be full of resentment.

Back in the dressing room, whining and cynical at Chelsea's lack of wanting to win.

Ye Yifeng listened and listened, and suddenly realized that Chelsea seemed to be back in the ranks of the top teams.

If the top teams don't want to win, they can't lose!

Carrick didn't comment on Chelsea after the game, instead saying that United needed to take stock of their problems.

A lot of Manchester United players were not up to par in this game.

The midfield is the hardest hit.

Basically no one is qualified.

Ye Yifeng can also use the center to turn to the winger as a shield.

And B Fee and Pogba, as well as the British Emperor Star are not good.

B fee is good, but not the best.

Even Kevin De Bruyne, the strongest midfielder, will be helpless against N'Golo Kante today.

It's harder to get back up after you've been suppressed.

As for whether Chelsea will accept a draw at home and whether they have thought about scoring, of course, they will be left behind by Manchester United.

More realistic in front of them was Manchester City's 2-1 home win over West Ham United.

Manchester United lost the top spot!

The advantage of nine points ahead of Manchester City is gone.

Now they are in turn one point behind Manchester City!

Fleet Street once again used public opinion to put pressure on Manchester United.

Carrick bore the brunt of the attack.

Labeled him indecisive.

Using the games in which United have dropped points this season, they have not kept the win when the wind is down, and they have been too slow to adjust when there is a headwind.

However, the Reds are backing Carrick.

The reason used is rather bizarre.

Manchester United are more dynamic now than they were in the past, and they are playing better games.

Examples of games were their slaughter of Leeds United and Southampton.

This seems to be an untenable reason.

Because competitive football is definitely about the result.

Just because United have won the title in the last two years doesn't mean the bar is changed.

But whoever made Carrick a former team-mate of the Reds who are now active in the commentary table.

If you don't support it, you can't justify it.

Is it possible to step on a stone when you fall into a well?

A week later, Manchester United will travel to the Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City.

Carrick was focused on preparing for the battle.

Then the unexpected came.

De Gea took a sudden leave of absence in the middle of the week, citing "personal matters" and for an ominous length.

David De Gea has not been seen on United's training ground since Wednesday.

Manchester United will inquire.

I thought that De Gea had done a big job outside the court, sent himself into the bureau or got into a lawsuit.

turned out to be the same reason as Ye Yifeng.

Wife gives birth to a baby.

This reason for taking a leave of absence is too hard!

With Ye Yifeng's precedent, Carrick can only grant leave, and he can't have the slightest emotion.

Only Anthony Martial cursed behind his back.

knew that he would also wait for Carrick to take office before letting his wife have children.

Ahead of the Manchester derby at the weekend, Michael Carrick announced David De Gea's absence in his pre-match press conference, without specifying the reasons for his privacy.

He expressed his trust in Dean Henderson.

At the same time, it also depresses himself and the team.

The result of the Manchester derby does not mean that the Premier League title race is out of suspense.

He had the words to say: "Even if we win against Manchester City, with 11 games left in the Premier League, anything can happen and no other result will lead to the title tomorrow. ”

To put it bluntly, he's a little cowardly now.

The mid-season big advantage turned into a headwind, and everyone had to be intimidated.

Conceding points in a row doesn't embolden a manager.

Pep Guardiola is back in the spotlight.

It seems that he has shown a handsome demeanor again.

Manchester City have been unbeatable in recent times.

From before Christmas last year to the beginning of March this year, Manchester City won 15 consecutive league games!

How is this record not strong?

It's no wonder how they managed to catch up with Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola is in a good mood, the team's morale is like a rainbow, and he has an invincible posture.

If he hadn't played Manchester United next, he would have had to work hard to stop going crazy.

He had a near-similar tone with Carrick before the game.

The result of the Manchester derby is important for the title race, but it does not immediately decide the winner!

He's also very low-key.

Based on Manchester City's form in the last three months, who is not a father beating his son?

just ran into Manchester United, to be precise, Ye Yifeng, Guardiola was uncomfortable everywhere.

The wound that had been cut began to hurt again.

In fact, he could accept a draw in the Manchester derby......

It seems that this is what he thought in the first half of the meeting.

But in the end, he was killed by Ye Yifeng.

But he still thinks so.

The draw means Manchester City remain one point ahead of Manchester United.

How can you guarantee at least one draw?

Alas.

If only I could borrow Chelsea's world and use it.

Although Chelsea was also criticized for being too conservative in the last round, N'Golo Kante's terrifying defensive statistics were blown to the altar again after a long time!
