Chapter 228 Manchester City bites his ass, Mu Shuai makes a decision [Ask the bigwigs to subscribe!] 】
'Chelsea don't have the slightest intention of slowing down the tempo, they keep the United under pressure in attack!
Leon is still inspiring his team-mates to move forward, and Moyes needs to figure out how to do it defensively..."
Zhan Jun didn't show his joy too much in the studio of Sina Sports, and said a few words for Manchester United more objectively.
But how can Moyes, who is standing on the sidelines, do anything to contain Chelsea's strong attack in the middle?
How to play this game? What kind of tactical style to play, it is not up to him to decide at all, and the top management of Manchester United has given a dead order.
Moyes was still thinking of grabbing a start in the opening game to see if he could score a goal as soon as possible.
But it now seems impossible to realise that unrealistic idea at Stamford Bridge, and Lady Luck is not on United's side today.
If the attack fails, if you want to defend, you can only follow Moyes's original tactical plan, and limit or delay Chelsea's threatening attack as much as possible through the advantage of the number of defenders in the middle.
If David Moyes can call the shots, he can make tactical adjustments right now.
It's a pity that he can't do this, and this game has basically set the end of the game since Sandezi found Moyes before the game.
In fact, it's not that Manchester United's top management and Sandezi are too stupid.
From their point of view, how could Manchester United, who had won five Premier League trophies in the previous seven seasons and won the Premier League title last year, pull their hips like this after just one summer window?
Even if there are some problems with these players, this is a real championship team.
Ferguson is retired, but if you change a reliable coach to continue to lead Manchester United, not to mention winning the championship right away, it must be no problem to stabilize the top four in the league this year, right?
So in their opinion, there is no big problem with the player, and they also brought in Fellaini, and now Manchester United has not even scored in the top six, then it is 100% Moyes's problem!
Therefore, this group of senior executives of Manchester United really TM don't understand the ball.
The Glazer brothers don't talk about it, they only know business and dividends, and they know a hammer football.
Now they got the front desk to run the club's Sandezi, who is also a businessman.
He may be very good at running the club and expanding the commercial side of the club.
But when it comes to football, even if he knows more than the Glazer brothers, it's not much.
Do you expect these people to be able to know about the problems in United's current squad, as well as the ungodly tuning and tactical support of Alex Ferguson's previous tenure?
So it's not that the United hierarchy are stupid enough to do the kind of thing that Moyes has to play Manchester United-style football.
It's just that they were so well protected by Ferguson before.
It's good that even if they don't have to put any effort into building their squad at all, they can watch United win one or two titles a year.
They themselves only need to rely on Manchester United's aura of honor to continue to enhance Manchester United's brand value in the commercial field, and use it to take away a large amount of pounds and dollars from Manchester United every year.
So much so that now that Ferguson has retired, the Manchester United executives, who are accustomed to the previous hands-off model, are still looking at Manchester United's results this season according to their previous habits.
They even thought that Moyes would only need to imitate Ferguson and copy Ferguson's previous tactical thinking to lead the current United back on track.
This is a kind of habitual thinking at work.
Of course, football will teach such operators enough lessons.
This year is just the beginning.
After all, Manchester United will slowly fade from the halo of the Premier League's No. 1 giant, which Ferguson has built with great difficulty, because of the various strange operations of this group of strange high-level executives.
And now Mourinho, after feeling Moyes's involuntarily, no matter whether he will stay at Chelsea in the future and become Chelsea's Ferguson, he will never go to the troubled waters of Manchester United again.
'David Moyes has been cheated hard enough, I don't believe he will make the tactical decision to attack at our home stadium, it's not his style of play at all!'
Holland was very embarrassed and sighed.
David Moyes has been one of the most well-known managers in English football.
From the young coach who amazed the entire English football scene back then, to the well-known coach who led Everton to qualify for European competitions all year round last year.
David Moyes should have had a more steady ascent in charge.
If he hadn't chosen Manchester United, no one in the English football scene would have questioned Moyes' brighter managerial future.
But now it has only been half a year, and Moyes has exhausted the good reputation he has accumulated over the years because of this period of chicken feathers.
It's really. What a wickedness!
Holland didn't say the rest of the words, but Mourinho nodded with deep sympathy.
Watching his disciples on the pitch excitedly attacking Manchester United, Mourinho's desire to slow them down was gone
"Let's help Moyes get rid of it sooner..."
After finding a very good reason for himself in his heart, Mourinho sat in the coach's seat and watched the attacking performances of his players.
If you don't have a face, there's no point in paying attention to this now.
After all, it was Manchester United who didn't give Chelsea face today, and the extra goals were purely brought on by Manchester United.
At Stamford Bridge, thousands of Manchester United fans were not discouraged at first, constantly cheering on their players.
After seeing the players they were most familiar with being kicked by Chelsea and unable to fight back, they gradually became cold.
From last season's Premier League title to this season's chances of not even finishing in the top four, this psychological gap is really difficult for Manchester United fans to accept.
No matter which team you change, last season beat the rivals in the same city to win the championship in advance, and this season the team suddenly collapsed to the seventh and eighth positions in the league, and it is difficult to climb up, and the fans will not be able to stand it.
But the reality is that countless Manchester United fans have to force themselves to accept such a psychological gap.
On the contrary, the Chelsea players are having a lot of fun on the pitch at the moment.
Leon, like his teammates, was enjoying the game early.
can crush Manchester United, which was still known as the No. 1 giant in the Premier League last season, with such a big difference in strength.
It's a joy for all the Chelsea players.
Perhaps there are some personal feuds between Chelsea veterans such as Frank Lampard and John Terry and Manchester United from the fierce rivalry of previous years.
But Leon doesn't have much of a preconception about Manchester United.
He doesn't like Manchester United as a club, but it's far from hating.
For him, Manchester United is a Premier League giant.
It's like Bayern and Dort in the Bundesliga, Benfica and Porto in the Portuguese Super League, Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A.
The fame of these clubs is such that all fans will be reminded of their place in European football as soon as they hear about it.
But that's about it.
After all, fans have their own preferred clubs.
For example, Leon only likes Chelsea in the Premier League, and after he has a preconceived idea, he goes to see Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United, and it is all with the same attitude, which is no different from watching other big teams.
Even if Leon doesn't like this group of senior executives of Manchester United, he has no ill feelings towards Manchester United.
But now each is in charge, and there is a chance to slaughter such a giant on the court, for Leon. It's also a novelty feeling.
When he played against Manchester United at Real Madrid last season, Manchester United still had Alex Ferguson in charge, and it was still a proper European football powerhouse.
At that time, Real Madrid could only be regarded as a relatively stable win over Manchester United, and it was true that there was an advantage, but the result of the game could only be regarded as a complete victory, far from a massacre.
The fact that Mourinho did not stop their aggressive attack today already shows that Mourinho also tacitly tacitly said that they can play a big win without mercy.
His teammates were eager to give it a try, and Ang was not going to be the one to spoil the atmosphere of the game.
After steadily suppressing the Manchester United midfield, Leon and Nemanja Matic nailed the United half.
However, the biggest difference between today's game and the usual game is that:
In the past, Chelsea would rely more on the flanks to draw up opposition defences and create opportunities for central Leon and Frank Lampard to cut in.
But today, Chelsea are more likely to attack from the middle, force Manchester United's midline defense, and then split the wings to the wings, with two wingers choosing to go down or cut inside into the Manchester United penalty area to complete the final threatening pass or finish a blow!
This approach has given Ibrahimovic and Eden Hazard more shots on goal.
Chelsea's goal in the opening thirteen minutes was the culmination of Leon's split and Eden Hazard's finish.
As for threatening passes, with Kevin De Bruyne on the right, there is no need to worry about it at all.
In the twenty-seventh minute of the first half, Leon quickly swept past Carrick's defense zone again by cooperating with the retreating Ibrahimovic's one-two.
It wasn't until Phil Jones dropped his defensive area to make up for it that Leon quickly pushed the ball across to Hazard, who had withdrawn to the left side of the United half.
As for Januzai? That lad is still in the Chelsea half, waiting for the ball to attack.
Counting on him to defend himself?
First, he doesn't have the enthusiasm to return to defense, and second, he just has to defend himself, and it can't help anything.
When Moyes saw this scene, his whole heart was cold.
Before this game, he still had some dislike for Cleverley, believing that Cleverley was a four-dislike midfielder.
The offense couldn't go up, and the defense couldn't be dragged behind alone, so he could only follow Carrick and help Carrick do a little bit of everything.
But now seeing Januzaj's performance, Moyes feels that Cleverley is a very good young midfielder.
At least Cleverley knows his position, is active defensively, and can help Carrick play the ball.
It's a pity that now Cleverley is injured, Moyes doesn't want to use Shinji Kagawa, so he can only use Januzaj to play the front midfield.
But now the talented striker, who has high hopes from Manchester United fans, can't provide much help to Manchester United at all.
His performance on the pitch even played a certain negative role, Manchester United's central defense was completely a sieve, and Leon could burst as much as he wanted.
Without Cleverley's active protection, Carrick's disadvantage of being too slow was infinitely magnified in front of Leon.
Phil Jones wanted to stand in the middle and help Carrick withstand Leon's onslaught.
However, Chelsea's left winger Eden Hazard has completely pinned down his team-mate Rafael.
If he doesn't care about defending on the wing, Hazard can cut inside with impunity or pass the ball to Ibrahimovic along the way.
The dilemma Phil Jones could only run from two ends, just like this defense, and when Leon got past Carrick, he had no choice but to come over and make up for it.
But with his supplemental defense, Leon scored the ball, and Hazard was able to directly and smoothly enter the Manchester United penalty area again.
After a simple cycling motion, Hazard suddenly accelerated again and rushed past Evans, who was defending him.
Evans and Rafael were both completely unable to contain Hazard alone, and a large number of Chelsea fans in the audience cheered excitedly again!
Hazard then sent the ball to the running Ibrahimovic with an inverted triangle pass.
In the face of Vidic's close marking, Ibrahimovic did not rush to turn around and look for space to shoot this time.
Instead, he was very solid to block Vidic's defensive interference with his back first, and then sent the ball under his feet to the line of the Manchester United penalty area!
In this kind of offensive routine, Li Ang, who has long been in tacit cooperation with Ibrahimovic, naturally appeared on the path of Ibrahimovic's pass.
His long-range shot was crisp and unrelenting, and it was a powerful shot that flew straight into the far corner of the United goal.
Mourinho on the sidelines was already on his feet at this point, fully ready to applaud Leon's goal.
However, Manchester United's goalkeeper De Gea gritted his teeth and made a shocking save!
His save was a testament to his superior goal-line skills and physical talent.
Leon thought his long-range shot was powerful and fast, so he was surprised to see De Gea's thrilling one-handed long-range shot.
But in the next second, when De Bruyne appeared on the right side of Manchester United's penalty area to meet the ball and draw again, De Gea, who fell to the ground, couldn't do anything!
Mourinho went from standing up to hugging his head in surprise and then clapping in surprise, changing several movements in just a few seconds.
Fortunately, the final result was good, and Mourinho's applause was successfully sent.
Leon touched the back of his head, glanced at the United goal with some pity, and then ran to De Bruyne, who was waving his arms and yelling, with a smile.
"Kevin, what about your celebration?"
After Leon happily hugged De Bruyne, he asked a little puzzled.
After all, it's a general celebration. Even if you don't have your own unique moves, isn't it common to jump and swing your fist or slap your knees in the corner flag area?
How to get to De Bruyne here is just waving his arms to encourage his fans to cheer.
"Ah, aren't I already celebrating?"
De Bruyne's answer did not surprise Leon, and Leon could only cover his mouth and say a few words in the ear of his little brother in the end.
Two seconds later, as Leon and De Bruyne celebrated together, the Chelsea fans in attendance burst into even louder cheers!
However, in the hearts of the Manchester United players at the moment, all that is left is bad emotions.
Rooney crossed his waist to look at the dazzling 2:0 on the huge electronic scoreboard on the scene, and thought about how much time had passed since the game, so he could only purse the corners of his mouth and keep shaking his head.
There wasn't too much anger and excitement, and all that was left in Rooney's heart now was helplessness.
Speaking of accolades, he has reaped enough club accolades since he moved to Manchester United 10 years ago.
Not as good as Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, but he has won all the domestic titles in England and the Champions League.
Walked to the top, enjoyed the glory and sought after. Even if the current downhill is difficult, Rooney doesn't feel how painful it is to endure these failures.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that he didn't know where the new United would go after losing Alex Ferguson and the last remnants of the Manchester United dynasty.
David Moyes can't save Manchester United, and no amount of well-known coaches will be able to get Manchester United back on the right path.
This point was clearly understood after the conversation with Sandezi broke up.
But he's just a player, a star who has passed his prime.
Maybe he can save his beloved Manchester United in the occasional game, but what about a season? And what about the next two or three seasons?
Is Manchester United's downfall really inevitable?
Rooney was confused, he found himself unable to find the answer, the same as him, Carrick, Evra, Vidic......
There is no unity of thought in the whole Manchester United team.
Even if David Moyes made a clear tactical request before the game, they must play with the style of Manchester United and attack.
But the current Manchester United players can't even control the ball well, so how can they attack?
This phenomenon of complete separation between tactical instructions and the actual situation on the pitch has made Manchester United more and more dilemma on the pitch.
By the 36th minute of the first half, Li Ang received a cross from Kevin De Bruyne and scored with a header from Ibrahimovic in the Manchester United penalty area.
Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic began to curse angrily, and his scolding also scolded the last trace of anger in the hearts of Manchester United's midfielders.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Ibrahimovic made a short pass with Hazard on the left side of the Manchester United penalty area, helped Hazard cut into the bottom line of the Manchester United penalty area, ran to receive Hazard's cross, and easily grabbed the next city!
As soon as the goal was scored, thousands of United fans at Stamford Bridge were completely disillusioned and began to leave the pitch in protest against the team's poor performance.
David Moyes began to make substitutions, replacing Januzaj with Shinji Kagawa and Welbeck with Robin van Persie, who had just returned from injury.
It looks like he wants to make a last-ditch push on the offensive end.
Next door to him, Jose Mourinho also started to make substitutions.
Jose Mourinho replaced Leon, who scored a goal today, with Oscar, and Ibrahimovic with Romelu Lukaku.
Let the team's two biggest goalscorers rest today.
Such a substitution is actually equivalent to Chelsea having to pay for it.
The Chelsea players who had been instructed by Jose Mourinho also began to recycle their formation from the United half.
United's new arrivals Shinji Kagawa and Robin van Persie are still working hard to save face by scoring a goal or two for United in attack.
However, the strength of the two of them is also declining very badly.
Within minutes of coming on the pitch, the pair were lost in the tight defence of Chelsea's shrinking formation.
However, in the second half, Chelsea, who played a defensive game, scored the final goal in the 84th minute of the game!
Lukaku received David Luiz's counter-attacking long pass, accelerated past two United defenders in succession, and finally buked David De Gea to score Chelsea's fifth goal of the game!
In the end, Chelsea's score at home to Manchester United was also fixed at 5-0!
It was a massacre without a doubt!
However, after the game, no Chelsea player raised five fingers to boast of his record to the world like Pique did back then.
It's not that it's about accumulating character or anything, but because the relationship between Chelsea and Manchester United is not a mortal enemy at all, and there is no need to humiliate Manchester United fans so harshly.
However, after the big celebrations, when they received the news that Manchester City had beaten Cardiff City 5-1 at home, the mood of Chelsea fans suddenly became not so good.
And Mourinho looked at being bitten by Manchester City, and now Chelsea and Manchester City are only six points apart, and he also made a quick decision in his heart......
