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.

Carrick's brilliant defense made the stands applaud thunderously.

This time the clearance is to keep the goal intact.

Xia Xing quickly ran to Carrick: "I was forced by the opponent's defense just now, it was my ...... question"

"No, no, no, it's not your problem," Carrick waved his hand, stopping Xia Xing and preventing him from going on, "Defending is the task of the whole team, you have defended Barkley perfectly, it's enough, we'll get used to the rest." ”

Looking at the mature and steady Carrick, Xia Xing seemed to have more hole cards in his heart.

It's like seeing a parent's child.

That's where the old captain comes in.

Rooney, Carrick, Xia Xing.

Jose Mourinho started three captains at the same time today, a rarity this season.

Moreover, it is also the last time that Manchester United's three captains are in the same frame.

After this game, Carrick will bid farewell to Manchester United and take up the coaching position.

Wayne Rooney will also leave after his final Champions League game.

Of the three captains, only Xia Xing was left to hold on.

This game is also a legacy for Manchester United.

Just now, Carrick's retreat defense did not spare his physical strength at all, and even twisted his body out when he cleared the siege, risking injury and trying not to give the opponent a corner.

Such a fighting spirit made Xia Xing admire.

And in the following period, Rooney's retreat defense also gave a lot of support to the midfield.

Since the late days of Alex Ferguson, Rooney has been constantly moving between central midfield and is no longer the pure striker he was at the beginning.

In this game, Rooney did not spare his physical strength and ran all over the field.

He was well aware that he would not be able to sustain a normal game.

But it is precisely because of this that he spares no effort and goes all out.

Do your best, although you still have no regrets!

Chelsea's side continued to attack.

The opening attack on the right side almost paid off, and Conte on the sidelines was ready to applaud and celebrate.

And in the next period, with Xia Xing defending heavily on Ross Barkley's side, Chelsea's attack began to unfold on the left.

Marcos Alonso began the onslaught.

Successive flank breakthroughs put Manchester United's right side defence under great pressure.

Juan Mata struggled to defend his international team-mates in the first line of defence, and Carrick was not as fast as Alonso.

After several rounds of onslaught, the pressure on the Manchester United defence was extremely high.

Plus David Luiz's frequent offense comes forward.

As a defender, defense is naturally a top priority.

But as a Brazilian defender, it's a different story.

Defending is one thing, but offense is also very important.

Toni Rudiger was in defence, with David Luiz cutting forward quickly and providing frequent assists.

Especially to assist Alonso on the left.

There is also the running of midfielder Tiemoue Bawardo, which also puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United.

However, even so, under Xia Xing's defensive organization, Chelsea still struggled to tear apart Manchester United's defence.

Now the scene has not changed, and both sides are waiting for a special point.

In the 30th minute, Chelsea were awarded a corner.

Eden Hazard stood in the corner flag area, waiting for the penalty.

At this time, Manchester United's highs are back, and they are defending with all their might.

Lukaku retreated to goal and retreated.

It was David Luiz defending Lukaku just now, now it's reversed.

Hazard took a corner kick, and sure enough, it was David Luiz!

The Brazilian centre-back takes off quickly!

Romelu Lukaku also jumped at the same time!

The two had a battle in the air!

David Luiz takes the lead with a header!

The ball hits Lukaku's arm and bounces off the touchline!

The referee's whistle blows!

It's a penalty, no doubt about it!

What is even more frustrating for Manchester United is that Romelu Lukaku is injured!

At the moment of landing, Lukaku did not stand firm because of the collision, and his ankle twisted!

Fall to the ground in pain!

Manchester United's team doctor hurried to the field!

Not to mention Manchester United's teammates, even Hazard is in a hurry this time!

Romelu Lukaku is the number one center forward of the Belgian national team, and if he is injured, then the next World Cup match will be really troublesome!

After inspection, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It didn't hurt the bones, it wasn't a major injury, and it shouldn't be a big problem to recuperate a little.

But even so, it is necessary to send to the hospital as soon as possible for further examination.

At the end of the pitch, the team doctor whispered a word to Mourinho.

"I don't think we can catch up with the Champions League final."

"Hoo ......"

Mourinho let out a breath and was in a bad mood.

The last thing he wants to see in this game is to lose the championship and hurt people.

Now Romelu Lukaku is injured and the personnel arrangements for the final are troublesome.

How to deal with the finals?

Mourinho has a big head.

And more important than that incident, the immediate personnel adjustment.

Who is on the bench?

Jose Mourinho looked at the impending penalty on the pitch and pondered his team's next move.

Hazard stood in front of the ball, took a deep breath and smashed the net with ease!

1 to 0!

Chelsea score first!

Excitedly, Conte raised his hands and celebrated with the Chelsea fans behind him!

On the sidelines, Mourinho couldn't afford to be annoyed by the goal he conceded and he needed to make adjustments as soon as possible.

Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial were the two centre-forwards on the bench.

Without hesitation, Mourinho sent Ibrahimovic.

This made Anthony Martial's face on the bench even more gloomy.

In the team, Mourinho doesn't like Anthony Martial, and everyone knows it.

Anthony Martial was on the bench today because the team wanted to rest the main players as much as possible.

Now, even if he rotates, there is no chance of Martial.

Anthony Martial looked at Mourinho with a knife in his eyes.

"Dude."

"Huh?"

"Score a goal!"

"Good!"

Mourinho and Ibrahimovic don't have many words, and everything is understood between master and apprentice.

Ibrahimovic ran quickly onto the pitch and stood in the center circle.

He and Xia Xing made eye contact, and they both read something from each other's eyes.

Then both nodded at the same time.

The race restarted, Ibrahimovic and Rooney passed in succession on the center circle and rushed up quickly!

Marcus Rashford and Juan Mata are up too!

Xia Xing's midfield four players attack quickly!

At this time, Xia Xing and Carrick were in possession in the midfield, and both were looking for opportunities.

What opportunities are you looking for?

A chance to kill with one blow, of course!

Jose Mourinho told them before the game that Antonio Conte's side would never stick to the lead, that was not his style.

Even if they are ahead, they have to attack, and they attack harder.

And at this moment, after Xia Xing handed the ball to Carrick, he suddenly sprinted quickly!

He pressed it too!

It's clear that Manchester United want to play a wave of suppressive onslaught!

Chelsea defend the summer with all their might!

Kante, in particular, is closely guarded against Xia Xing!

Bakayoko next to him is also helping to defend!

But Carrick didn't pass the ball to Xia Xing!

It was also not passed to Ibrahimovic, who came off the bench and was eyeing him!

He suddenly made a long pass and went straight to the front of the penalty area!

Wayne Rooney receives the ball on the edge of the box!

Stop the ball with the outside instep, turn around and shoot!

The ball hits the net!

Powerful and sinking!

Onslaught! (End of chapter)
