Chapter 446: Tenacious Manchester United (Daily Transition)
Autumn is approaching and the leaves are falling more and more at the Cobham training base.
Chelsea players are doing warm-up exercises.
"More than a decade ago, I asked Totti how he managed to date five female celebrities at the same time."
"It's five female stars with hot bodies!"
"He told me that if I saw a girl I liked on TV, I would call her immediately."
"So one day, I called the same way."
"Guess what?"
"The female celebrity said to me: Oh! Totti, you imitate Buffon's tone! ”
"Hahahaha. Why don't you laugh? Isn't it funny? ”
Buffon's hearty laughter startled the two magpies in the treetops and flew away.
Dino led the staff to set up obstacles on the training ground, this time it was still a targeted "diamond hexagon", but the scope of the obstacles was expanded, and the effective offensive and defensive areas of the players would be narrower.
Tuchel had his hands in his pockets, his black cap under his black cap, and his face was unfathomable.
Manchester United are not weak, and even if they lose to Brighton, they are still third in the Premier League table.
When it is weak, it is weak, and when it is strong, it is strong, and the ultimate body hammer gang.
De Gea has been "sharpened" to become the goalkeeper ranked first in all statistics in the five major leagues.
Although he can't play the ball, he is still a T0-level goalkeeper in the minds of fans in this historical period.
The front court is picturesque, and the back field is De Gea.
Pseudo-nuclear Pogba, true nuclear De Gea.
A collection of various extreme saves made the audience addicted.
Anti-opposite, anti-Maguire, anti-Lukaku, anti-Luke Shaw, anti-Smalling.
Looking at the line-up on paper, Manchester United can be described as star-studded.
Carrington Training Base.
Surrounded by greenery and beautiful scenery.
"Paul, you're almost late again!"
"You were captured by the paparazzi of The Sun again last night!"
Although The Sun is a toilet paper, the relationships between men and women reported are generally true.
In the face of the ridicule of his teammates, Pogba looked grim and ignored it.
He lives a disciplined life and only goes to nightclubs twice a week.
The agent-Raiola helped him create a perfect public image, but the opinions of the marketing army were not unified enough: "Pogba never goes to nightclubs", "Pogba and Xiao Luo met in nightclubs, and beautiful women accompanied each other and talked happily. 》
"Cheer up."
'We're going to finish Chelsea at Old Trafford!'
Time is like a rushing river, and in the blink of an eye, it is a new round of Premier League matchday.
The Chelsea bus slowly pulls into Old Trafford.
Tuchel was led by his staff to the pre-match press conference.
Journalists have focused more on Jose Mourinho.
'Is there anything you would like to say about Chelsea again?'
'Are Manchester United sure they can withstand Chelsea's blue storm at the Theatre of Dreams?'
'How would you rate Chelsea this season? Can Tuchel replicate the great season of more than a decade ago? ”
The Premier League media are very harsh on Manchester United, because expectations are relatively high, and most people want the Red Devils to return to the top, rather than becoming the soil of lace resources.
Mourinho's expression was calm, he pointed at himself, and then stretched out three fingers!
VIP box.
The 76-year-old Ferguson took a sip of red wine.
It's really wine.
In recent years, whenever Manchester United lost, he would vent his anger by drinking, and occasionally when Manchester United won, he would invite opponents or old friends to have a drink.
As for the habit of inviting the opponent's coach to drink on the field, it is no longer maintained after retirement.
Old Trafford itself offered drinks to the guests, but it had to be taken down fifteen minutes before the game.
'I remember Lee's Champions League debut, at Old Trafford.
"It was the Champions League qualifying play-offs two years ago, Jazz"
"Qualifying Play-offs"
Unpleasant memories are filtered out by the brain.
Looking at the sea of red in front of you.
Alex Ferguson, the former ruler of the Red Devils dynasty, never imagined that after his retirement, Manchester United's dominance would fall to such an extent.
Player tunnel.
Players from both sides greeted each other.
It's too ripe.
Nemanja Matic, in particular, seems to be very enthusiastic about his old Chelsea friends.
As well as the French Black Egg Pie, the Belgian Pie, the Spanish Pie, and the Arsenal Old Friends.
Suddenly.
Li Kang saw a mouse pass under his feet, which immediately caused the little caddies to be overjoyed.
Rats are a legacy of Old Trafford's history, and they can occasionally be spotted on the turf during races.
Pogba's haircut today is more normal: a mohican hair dyed blue.
He silently glanced at the Chelsea queue, and the desire to fight suddenly spread throughout his body.
Distracted against a weak team.
Focus against strong teams.
Fans jokingly said: This is Pogba's forbearance.
"ESPN, ESPN, hello audience friends."
"Now you're broadcasting live the eighth round of the 2017/18 Premier League season."
'Manchester United at home against Chelsea.'
"The battle of passions is about to begin."
'The camera shows Hermione, the protagonist of Harry Potter, and a loyal Chelsea fan who has not taken on films or commercials in the last year, but has focused on feminist sports.
"At this point, the camera switches to the VIP box, it's Hilps, who played for Manchester United in 1994!"
The sea of red is churning.
In the midst of deafening cheers.
The referee team led the players from both sides out of the aisle.
The moment Li Kang stepped on the turf, the system prompt sounded quietly.
[Ding, Quest Trigger: Indestructible Dream Theater.] 】
[Mission Introduction: After Mourinho's training, Manchester United now has a more three-dimensional and solid defensive system, and the threat in the transition attack is extremely strong, of course. The premise is that their defenders can keep their heads clear. 】
[Reward: Manchester United Legends: Platinum Chest.] 】
"Here's a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."
"Manchester United are in a 4-2-3-1 formation!"
'Goalkeeper: David De Gea.'
"Defenders: Valencia, Maguire, Smalling, Blind!"
'Two midfielders: Herrera, Nemanja Matic.
"Central midfielders: Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial!"
'Striker: Romelu Lukaku.'
-
[I think this squad is on par with Chelsea, not much worse.] 】
-
[Herrera is Hazard's natural enemy, with a restrained style, and four encounters to seal the king of the ball are like Cruyff meeting a golden retriever. 】
-
[In the second year of Mu, the peak of combat power. 】
-
[Pogba and Li Kang's double pride duel, the two strongest talented midfielders of the younger generation. 】
'Chelsea's formation is 4-3-3!'
"Goalkeeper: Gianluigi Buffon."
'Defenders: Cesar Azpilicueta, David Luiz, Cahill, Marcos Alonso.
'Midfielders: Li Kang, N'Golo Kante, Cesc Fabregas.
'Forwards: Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata, Willian.
-
[This lineup actually does not have an absolute finishing core, and all attackers are selfless, resulting in an offensive design that makes the opponent unpredictable.] 】
-
[The impermanence of soldiers, the amorphous shape of water, the unfathomable Tuchel. 】
-
[This game must be avoided, the strangulation game will occupy a lot of time and the number of offensive and defensive rounds, and the big ball cannot be played. 】
-
[Li Mingdeng three dozen Old Trafford. 】
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The competition has officially begun.
Manchester United have the ball.
Lukaku twisted his fat body, kicked off with a backfoot, and passed back to Nemanja Matic.
Who would have thought that he was still a skinny little black egg last season.
Taking two steps sideways, he watched the ball pass before moving forward with the formation and invading Chelsea's half.
Fierce gaze, fixed on the Chelsea goal.
Thirty years in Hedong.
Thirty years in Hexi.
Don't bully young people into poverty.
Little Black Fat used to be a Chelsea player, why is the desire for revenge so strong?
The story begins in the 2011/12 season, when Villas-Boas did not include him in the Champions League squad, and as a result, Roberto Di Matteo led his side to victory.
'I didn't touch the Champions League trophy because I didn't win it myself. ’
Hate the house and the black.
In the years since, Lukaku has often vented his frustrations with Chelsea to the media, complaining about Chelsea players.
"Lukakula is on the side!"
"Blind pressed forward to the 40-meter area, adjusted slightly after receiving the ball, and made a long pass!"
"Diagonal bombing!"
Blind's oblique biography is quite profound, and he personally cast Van Persie's "Fish Leaping to the Top" world famous painting.
An Ajax academy masterpiece.
During the 2007 European Youth Championships, he was still a famous beautiful boy in Europe, known as "Berne Anderson on the green field", but unfortunately at the age of 20, he began to have cheeks and a receding hairline.
The soccer ball spun and around in mid-air.
The camera followed its trajectory and suddenly moved to the right half of Manchester United's attacking direction.
Marcos was in a timely position and interfered with Lukaku's catch at the landing point.
Pity.
Failed to withstand the impact of two hundred pounds!
Old Trafford, there was a round of applause.
The visual impact is too explosive: the elephant scares the leopard!
"Wow!"
"Lukaku squeezed Marcos out of the touchline with his ass!"
"Li Kang's supplementary defense!"
"Stuck in position, let the ball roll out of bounds, a reasonable defense, Pogba also responded in time."
'Chelsea's touchline ball.
Lukaku is like an elephant, frantically arching Li Kang's ass.
Why can't you turn over at once?
In the end, you can only watch the football go out of bounds.
Although he likes to speak ill of people, he is still a good boy.
Lukaku patted Li Kang's ass in a friendly way, and then pulled up Marcos, who had been ravaged by himself.
Li Kang touched his little braised egg.
Sidelines.
Tuchel sat in the dugout, his hands crossed over his chest, his expression calm.
Dino took notes carefully: "Sure enough, Manchester United will take the initiative to suppress Marcos's side, the right is false and the left is real, and after attracting defensive strength, Pogba will make a small arc pass and transfer by Pogba, who should respond to the past." ”
"Plus Sanchez in the middle of the wheel."
"Mourinho's autonomous attacking design is also very targeted."
The other side.
Mourinho looked calm, with one hand in his pocket and the other directing the defensive formation to move back.
Manchester United, who has been in the second year of Mu, has an average level of abuse, but is very good at playing tough battles.
The Premier League's tactical cracking research is progressing extremely fast.
The Reds have also learned the lesson of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur at this time: they can't go head-to-head with this Chelsea side for a long time in a high defensive position.
"Marcos throws the throw-in."
"Manchester United didn't give too much pressure up front, they were all out of the way, and even Romelu Lukaku had to cover the defense on the wings."
'Li Kang passed the ball to Hazard.
"Oops."
"Herrera is Hazard's lifelong enemy! Skin-to-skin closeness. ”
"Nice turn to get rid of!"
"Then give it to Morata in the middle!"
"I heard. He's backfoot on both feet! ”
"Wow!"
"Is this still Morata?"
A slap in the face sometimes comes quickly.
Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?
Morata with a moderate drop observed Maguire out of position before receiving the ball.
Golden opportunity.
Large voids.
Adjust your physical tendencies.
Swing arm.
Kicker.
Bang!
The 30-meter area exploded with a world wave!
Old Trafford let out a wave of exclamation.
The ball turned into a black shadow in mid-air and flew towards the United goal.
Scientists have done research: De Gea's reaction arc limit is 0.18 seconds, which is faster than the average lightning duration of 0.2 seconds!
The slender figure stretches out in mid-air.
White-gold gloves, clenched into fists.
Syllable!
The speeding soccer ball instantly calmed down and flew out of the bottom line lightly!
"Pretty, De Gea!"
"God pounced!"
"Heavy artillery with one hand!"
"Alvaro Morata has a powerful long-range shot, it's a pity."
'Chelsea's corner on the left!'
Single-handed heavy artillery is not a fantasy story, Cech has done it, Buffon has done it, Neuer has done it.
De Gea wanted to scold something, but he couldn't scold Ma Datou who was still scratching his buttocks.
Morata applauded and his confidence doubled.
William stood in the corner flag area.
Raise your hand.
Run up.
Syllable!
"Walk on the ground."
"Tactical corner!"
"Cesc Fabregas catches the ball."
"Manchester United's defence is starting to widen the pitch."
'I've heard that Thomas Tuchel's side will only practice set-pieces for a short time the day before the game.
"Cannon!"
"Li Kang!"
Cesc Fabregas may not be as brave as he once was, but his ability to read the defence is top-notch.
Syllable.
Light horizontal knocking.
It just caught the gap when the gap between the United defence widened.
Li Kang is on the left side of the top of the big arc in the penalty area, and shoots at the ball!
Bang!
The ball rises rapidly, spins violently, and is about to make a graceful arc.
But it hit a big face.
Mcguire!
"Full level frontal air defense at the beginning! 》
"It's dangerous."
"It's Maguire who comes out this time."
"Manchester United have escaped again!"
'Chelsea's ball on the left touchline!'
"The siege is about to begin!"
Maguire smiled and gave Li Kang a thumbs up.
Li Kang also gave him a thumbs up.
VIP box.
Ferguson had a mixed look, and he was pleased with the performance of his Manchester United players, but the home side had already told him in previous games that the group might be convulsive at a crucial moment.
Old Trafford is one of the few stadiums in Europe that likes to give applause.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Chelsea laid siege to Manchester United, and the fierce battle of positions grabbed the hearts of the spectators.
Applause overlapped with cheers.
At some point, Tuchel rushed to the command area and carefully gestured.
Mourinho's expression became more and more grim.
Dino silently took notes: "There are too many things to learn from Manchester United's low-post defense in the second year. ”
-
[It's been almost 19 minutes, and you still haven't scored? 】
-
[Don't worry, the show has just begun. 】
-
[Will this Lukaku play as a center forward?] Always pull the edge. 】
-
[The most complex offensive design VS the most meticulous low post defense.] 】
-
[Meticulous fart, Maguire's counterattack long pass smashed into David Luiz's face again. 】
Try to finish the game tomorrow.
