The Manchester United players warmed up and the players who had a good relationship with each other greeted each other.

For example, Pogba and Giroud, who are also teammates of the French national team, have a good relationship.

Another example is French national team teammates Cesc Fabregas and Juan Mata, who also hugged in a friendly way.

Belgians Romelu Lukaku, Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois also chatted together.

And after Xia Xing came on the field, the two friends quickly walked over.

“xia！”

"N'Golo! Danny! ”

It was N'Golo Kante and Drinkwater who were walking towards the summer.

Looking at the two friends, Xia Xing was in a very good mood, but there were joys and sorrows.

The good news is N'Golo Kante, who has developed into one of the best midfielders in the world at Chelsea.

Since joining Chelsea in 2016, he has been an absolute central midfielder for Chelsea.

Manchester United's summer trip, Chelsea's N'Golo Kante.

These two are definitely the best defensive midfielders in the Premier League, not one of them.

Of course, this is to treat Xia Xing as a defensive midfielder.

For example, some people regard Manchester United's Xia Xing and Chelsea's Eden Hazard as the strongest attacking midfielders in the Premier League.

Overall, Kante has a high status, both at club and at national team.

Drinkwater, on the other hand, is in a much worse position.

It wasn't Conte's intention to join Chelsea, so he didn't get much of a chance to play under Conte.

Not to mention entrusting it with a heavy responsibility.

He was still a substitute in this game.

In the year since joining the team, he has wasted his years, and it is rare to see the all-round midfielder with excellent running ability during the Blue Foxes period.

Looking at his old friend who was in a bad situation, Xia Xing felt deeply regretful.

But it's all their own path.

I have to go down even with my teeth gritted.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to the locker room.

Mourinho looked at the player in front of him, his expression and tone were calm.

It doesn't seem like it's a final, it's just a normal league.

Or the league that doesn't matter after winning the championship early.

"Lads, you're here again, and I'm so proud and proud of you.

"Manchester United is a big team, he has a super strong heritage and top team depth.

"So we have some important games, it is impossible for everybody to play.

"Believe me, I would even like each of you to start often, if I could,

"But that's not realistic,

"So, I gave you the stage for the FA Cup and the League Cup.

"And you have also given back to the team and the fans with a great performance for what they expect from you!

"The moment of winning the League Cup is still fresh in my mind, and the FA Cup is close at hand!

"We have immense confidence in all of you!

"After 90 minutes, let's lift the trophy again.

"Be the king of England this season!"

The phrase "King of England" is not a problem at all.

After all, Manchester United are on the verge of winning all the titles in England this season.

Premier League titles, League Cup winners, and even a Community Shield champion.

If they win the FA Cup this season, he will be England's domestic quadruple winner this season.

Defending all domestic championships.

For two seasons in a row, Jose Mourinho made Premier League history.

Soon.

So today, although it was only a substitute line-up, the United players were united in their hearts and looking forward to a big win.

At this time in the Chelsea dressing room, Conte also had an unexpectedly calm expression and a calm mind.

In the previous Premier League games, Conte still had a high-pressure management policy towards the team.

This is his characteristic.

Speaking of which, there are a lot of similarities with Chelsea under Jose Mourinho.

They are all strict in governing the army, they are all running in the field, and they are all fighting actively.

However, with his loss of control over the team, the players have become less listenable to him.

Especially in the last two league games, the players had poor tactical execution, which made Conte on the sidelines furious.

But now, he is emotionally unusually stable.

Looking at all the players, he spoke in a rare, eloquent tone.

'It's been two years since I've been at Chelsea.

"In retrospect, the press conference announcing my appointment was as if it had just taken place.

"Here, I have had many expectations and dreams,

"For example, helping the team win the Premier League, or leading the Blues to the Champions League.

'We did well last season, we were close to the Premier League title.

"I thought that this season's results would improve,

"But unfortunately,

"It's a pity.

'Now I can tell you definitively that this is my last game in charge of Chelsea.

"Huh.

"I'm sure some people are in a good mood.

"But I also believe that even people who are dissatisfied with me should only have different ideas.

"We don't have any hatred, do we?

"We're all in it for the team, right?

"So in this last game, our goal is the same.

"Look at the main lineup, some guys have been unhappy with me,

"But I didn't deliberately target or hide, and I still arranged for him to start.

'Because he's a good player at Chelsea and I'm also a professional coach.

"I won't do anything that is used for personal gain.

"So today, I want to see a fight where I can give it my all!

"It's hard to say if they can win Manchester United, after all, they have been too fierce this season.

"But I'm expecting you to give it your all and storm Manchester United!

"In this game, we not only fight to win, but also to fight!

'Hopefully our last time together, we will leave something precious to Chelsea!

"Come on, boys!

"Good luck to you and to us!"

Players from both sides run onto the pitch, the referee blows the whistle, and the game begins!

Manchester United still maintain the old tradition and play steadily.

The midfield line, in particular, is pulled very deep.

Solid in the opener, this is Mourinho's strategy in this game.

But Chelsea didn't care so much, they pushed fast and stormed the United half.

Two wings quickly forward to cut in!

Quite active!

In the 4th minute of the game, Buckley on the right side made the first attack!

He sprinted with the ball and broke straight past Rashford's tackle!

When Xia Xing was pressing, he decisively knocked horizontally!

The ball looks for Cesc Fabregas!

Cesc Fabregas doesn't stop the ball, just ask for the ball!

The ball is on the right again!

But I didn't look for Barkley!

It's about finding Cesar Azpilicueta who is quickly moving forward behind him!

Buck used his body to block the direction of Xia Xing's defense and create opportunities for his teammates!

This time they were very successful in defending Xia Xing!

Cesar Azpilicueta sprints quickly, catches the ball and crosses decisively!

His passing footwork is quite good!

The ball goes straight to the middle of the box!

But it wasn't picked up by a Chelsea player!

Manchester United vice-captain Michael Carrick quickly retreated and took the lead to clear the siege!

Manchester United escaped!

Wonderful defense! (End of chapter)
