Chapter 0397, this kind of opening, I like it very much
In the United dressing room, the atmosphere was a bit dreary.
Conceding three goals in a row in the first half was very unpleasant.
Especially since they are still playing very hard, everyone is in good shape.
What's even more irritating is that he has just clashed with his opponent.
"I really wanted to them just now! Happy! β
Phil Jones said fiercely.
Goalkeeper De Gea frowned slightly: "Man, if you do one game, we will have one less player, and the second half will be completely out of play." β
"But they're too Fxxk! We should ......"
As he spoke, Mourinho walked in and the players shut up.
Behind him, followed by Xia Xing, who entered the house.
The two of them were the last two to return.
Xia Xing closed the door with his backhand, and the locker room was completely silent.
The noise of those Chelsea fans was kept out of the door.
Jose Mourinho looked at the players, who were quietly watching him.
Some are indignant, some are depressed, and some are guilty.
Mourinho looked around and nodded slightly.
"Boys, I must tell you something,
"You guys played really well in the first half!
"I'm not sarcastic.
"I watched each of you very carefully throughout the first half.
"Everyone worked very hard, up front, in the middle, in the defensive line, they did their best.
"I'm very happy with your performance!
"Hmm...... I'm basically satisfied, except for Ashley Young's somewhat silly mistake,
"It's so stupid, I can't wait to go up and kick your ass."
Mourinho's words came out loud and the players burst into laughter.
Everyone knows the style and character of the Portuguese, and just saying that proves that there is no real anger.
Ashley Young also stood up embarrassed: "Coach, I did ...... a little in the first half"
Mourinho motioned for him to sit down.
"Yang, don't talk about the first half, you played very well in the first half.
"Aside from that turnover, the rest of the time was top-notch, the defense was leaky, no problem.
"All of you have done a great job and I'm so proud of you.
'But we're still behind, three goals behind.
"It's a matter of luck, not of our strength.
"After all, we kicked the crossbar and the post in the first half.
"Another time I thought it was a penalty but it wasn't awarded.
'If we can score these goals, then we are 3-3 now.
Of course, these words are a bit nonsense,
"After all, there are not so many ifs in the world,
"So in the second half,
"I hope you keep up the fighting spirit of the first half!
"Especially to keep faith!
"We're the top of the Premier League, we're the champions!
'Luck can't always be on Chelsea's side,
"As long as you keep fighting in the second half, luck will definitely come back!
"Because you're the best team in the world in my heart!"
Mourinho's words made the players suddenly gain momentum.
He attributed the goal conceded to luck and praised the performance of his players.
This gives everyone a lot of confidence.
In addition to the verbal encouragement, Mourinho also made several tactical changes.
"Pogba, in the second half you were a little bit further down and let Xia attack a little bit more. We changed the attacking position and the person to make Chelsea uncomfortable and try to steal points earlier. β
'Phil Jones, you follow Diego Costa in the second half, he likes to move away from the goal, don't give him too much space.
"Valencia, you appropriately reduce the number of attacks, stare at Hazard, and defend more fiercely! He just recovered from an injury a while ago, if you are more ruthless, he will have more taboos! β
"Carrick, you fought hard in the first half and you spent a lot of energy. You come down for a break in the second half and Herrera comes off the bench. Herrera, I need you to sweep the area! If you have a chance to attack, you can alternate with Xia and Pogba! Change the type of offense! β
β¦β¦
Mourinho's continuous adjustments are very targeted.
The players walked out of the tunnel and onto the pitch.
Both sides used one substitution.
Manchester United, for their part, replaced Carrick and brought on the midfielder Vermando Herrera.
Chelsea replaced defensive player Nemanja Matic for Cesc Fabregas.
Seeing Chelsea's substitution adjustments, Mourinho's eyes lit up!
Here's a chance!
At this time, Xia Xing on the court also happened to look at him, and the two looked at each other, and they both saw joy in their respective eyes!
That's great!
If Conte sends defensive players in the second half and defends, then the game will not be good.
With three balls in hand, Mourinho should be desperate.
But Conte didn't.
He has just clashed with Jose Mourinho and he desperately wants to knock him off in this game!
Give him a humiliating strength!
And that's exactly what Mourinho wants to see!
As long as you dare to press it out, we have a chance!
Come on, come on!
Chelsea opened the door in the first half and it was United's turn in the second half.
In the centre circle, two veterans, Ibrahimovic and Wayne Rooney, heard the whistle blow and made a quick pass.
Then, rush to the Chelsea half!
And Pogba and Herrera are also in attacking mode!
The two passed continuously in the middle, and the ball was handed to Mkhitaryan on the right flank, and soon returned!
Mkhitaryan also sprinted up the right flank!
Every now and then, Herrera looks ahead, as if to make a long pass!
Chelsea's pressing tactics remained the same throughout the game, and the midfield was pressed very high!
And the defense line is also fast premise!
Chelsea are ready for it, as long as you pass the ball, it's offside!
However, Herrera didn't have a long pass, and he suddenly made a cross-kick!
Pogba doesn't stop the ball, and passes directly diagonally!
The ball didn't find Mkhitaryan, who was sprinting quickly, but flew to the left wing!
Fly to the summer line!
On the sideline, Xia Xing suddenly picked up speed, and the ball flew towards him accurately!
"Isn't this ball a bit too early?
"Can xia pick it up?
'He got this ball on the touchline!
"Xia and Pogba work together very well!
"That's just the right amount in advance!
"Moses on the right side of the road is up and grabbing!
"He wants to squeeze Xia out!
Xia picked the ball lightly, and the ball flew over Moses' head!
"Get around and sprint!
"Diagonally to the position, straight to the front!
"Cesc Fabregas stepped forward to defend!
"Will he be able to stop Xia's attack?
"It's about 38 metres from the goal......
"Xia actually got up directly!
"It's a lift ball!
"The ball hit the net!
"World waves!
"It's incredible!
"At such a distance from the goal,
"Xia's shot is very comfortable!
"It hits the lower middle of the ball, and the ball carries the rotation of distance!
"Quickly lifted into the air, and then fell quickly after crossing the Ten Fingers Pass of Courtois!
"Wonderful!
"Just after the start of the second half, Manchester United pulled a goal back!
"1 to 3!
"I like this kind of opening very much!"
