Chapter 0448, Brave Attack
Less than ten minutes into the game, players from both sides brought the night to a climax.
Eden Hazard and Xia Xing scored in the same way, with both using brilliant individual skills to link up several people before scoring the back of the net.
It's wonderful.
On the pitchside, Conte had just finished celebrating when Mourinho jumped up and threw his fist.
Even Carragher was happy: "It was a fun game, the two managers were even more eye-catching than the players. Regardless of the outcome of the game, the camera sense of today's game is completely full."
Both sides scored one goal each, and the game continued to heat up.
Cesc Fabregas continued to cooperate with his teammates' short passes, and suddenly picked up the pass into the penalty area!
Diego Costa quickly stepped forward and successfully countered offside!
Volley from inside the box!
De Gea knocks the ball out with both fists!
Manchester United's goalkeeper is back in power!
A few minutes later, it was Chelsea's wide attack again.
Hazard passed Fellaini, who was robbing, and decisively passed into the penalty area!
Willian plugs in at the back post and stabs it in!
Roll the ball into the net!
The referee's whistle blows!
Offside, goal nullified!
Although they couldn't change the scoreline, Chelsea's two attacks were dangerous.
Compared to Chelsea, United's backline is indeed their shortcoming.
Looking at the defenders in front of him, De Gea was worried......
However, Manchester United are also on the offensive.
Pogba, who had just assisted Xia Xing, came with a kick of his own this time.
After receiving the ball, he faked the tape and passed Cesc Fabregas's defence.
A kick-up shot from outside the box!
Courtois save!
The ball bounces back into the goal!
Terry grabs ahead of Ibrahimovic and clears the siege with a big foot!
A few minutes later, it was Xia Xing's activity on the left side again!
This time he crossed at an angle of 45 degrees!
Looking for Eevee!
Ibrahimovic leaps high and smashes Terry's header into the net!
The ball goes high over the goal and United miss a great opportunity!
It wasn't a matter of Ibrahimovic's header, it was John Terry's defensive success.
Even if he doesn't have the bounce power of Ibrahimovic, it's not as good as it used to be, but Terry has a lot of experience.
Squeezing Ibrahimovic underneath him, Daebon-sen couldn't use all his strength, and the angle of the header was not controlled in the end.
The two attacks, although they did not score, also made the Chelsea defence break out in a cold sweat.
In this way, the two sides continued to attack fiercely, and the first half was very good.
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the fans in the stands were even a little dazed.
What?
That's the end of the half?
How do I feel like I'm just getting started......
The score of 1 to 1 is not particularly big, but the fans are very happy to watch.
Back in the dressing room, many players were tired.
"It's one of the toughest games of the season."
'Yes, the whole Chelsea team did a great job today.'
The players were chatting, and Mourinho was not in a hurry to talk about tactics, so let's calm down.
It was two minutes before he spoke.
"Guys, you played well in the first half,
"We weren't ahead, but I saw your fighting spirit,
"I'm happy with your performance.
"But in the second half, I want you to be more aggressive in defense and more resolute in attack!
'Chelsea had two attacks in the first half and our defence was out of position.
"If it was Cesc Fabregas and Willian in their prime, they would have scored.
"We didn't concede a goal, it's definitely a matter of luck.
"In the second half, I asked the midfield line to be closer to the defensive line and more running!
"And when you fight back, you must also be resolute,
"Xia and Pogba are doing well, Fellaini you can take some risks, it doesn't matter,
"In the 42nd minute of the game, you were in a better position to counterattack, but you still passed to Xia,
"If you rush up, Xia can completely retreat to fill the position, and he has already started to retreat,
"But you ended up passing the ball to him, and he didn't have a better time to deal with it.
"So, guys, be brave in the second half!
"After 45 minutes, leave the victory at Old Trafford!"
In the second half, the two sides still fought fiercely.
In the second half more than in the first half, the scramble took place more in the midfield position.
Manchester United players, led by Xia Xing, listened to Mourinho's new request to expand the defensive range.
Xia Xing and Fellaini are both in good shape and excellent defensively.
Pogba was also smart and very positive today.
The hand-to-hand combat between the three midfielders made it a bit difficult for all four of Chelsea's midfielders.
And after a series of broken goals, Manchester United finally ushered in a good opportunity.
In the 66th minute of the game, Xia Xing put a shovel in the middle, and Hazard was overjoyed!
This tackle was too reckless!
Hazard only needs to flick to the left to get past the summer trip!
For a moment, Hazard felt confident.
They say you're talented and have excellent defensive skills, but I think it's average.
This level of defense can't stop me!
But just after Xia Xing's shovel was empty, Hazard suddenly felt a gust of wind coming!
Straight ahead, Valencia sprints quickly and tackles are coming!
Manchester United two tackles!
Only then did Hazard understand that Xia Xing did not plan to carry the ball by himself, but wanted to force himself into Valencia's defensive range!
He guessed right!
Hazard was very active during this time, and Xia Xing needed midfield organization, and it was impossible to mark man to defend.
Even with the help of Fellaini and his teammates, it was difficult to defend against him.
So Xia Xing simply pretended to sell him a defensive hole!
Hazard has been hit!
Manchester United fighter Valencia spared no effort to tackle the ball and cut it off.
At this time, Chelsea's midfield is pressed higher, and the back air defense is weak!
Valencia didn't hesitate to get up and sprint with the ball!
As Jose Mourinho said at half-time, attack boldly and crisply!
Valencia sprinted with the ball, and at this time, Xia Xing in the middle also accelerated to keep up!
Mkhitaryan in front pulled and ran, and cooperated with Valencia with a few consecutive passes!
Chelsea's defence is disrupted!
Passing the ball again to Mkhitaryan on the edge of the box, Valencia runs inside!
And after Mkhitaryan received the ball, he kept the ball back and handed it to Valencia again!
At this time, Mkhitaryan quickly rushed to the penalty area and stretched out his hand to demand!
And Valencia can pass the ball!
Sure enough, he hit the ball quickly!
But it was not passed to Mkhitaryan, but to the middle lane!
Looking for Xia Xing!
Xia Xing, who quickly stepped forward, had already come to the top of the arc of the forbidden area at this time!
All the attention of the Chelsea defence was on Mkhitaryan who stepped forward, and no one noticed Xia Xing's accelerated run!
No, someone noticed, Kante did.
But despite the all-out sprint, Kante still couldn't catch up with Xia Xing!
Xia Xing watched the ball roll over, and he didn't hesitate!
The body turned slightly sideways, and he pulled out his feet and shot angrily!
The ball hits the near corner of the goal!
Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was defending Mkhitaryan at the moment to avoid him receiving the ball and shooting.
But he didn't expect Xia Xing to shoot at the other
Side!
The shot is very accurate, absolutely dead ends!
