Chapter 347: Establishing the Winning Momentum is Responsibility, and Standing Up for Your Teammates is Equally Responsible!

Ten minutes before the game was played, Manchester United were breached by Chelsea, and this familiar scene saw countless Red Devils fans in front of the TV subconsciously cover their heads.

The tens of thousands of Manchester United fans at the scene were even more numb, because they themselves couldn't remember how many times Leon had scored Manchester United's goal at Old Trafford!

Van Gaal couldn't hold back, stretched out his hands and roared at the Manchester United starters on the field!

He can accept the fact that Chelsea take the lead at Old Trafford.

Because he knows in his heart that there is a huge gap in strength between Manchester United and Chelsea right now.

But he couldn't accept that his tactics were ineffective at such an early juncture!

This not only represents the failure of his tactical intention to use the defensive four midfielders to consume the physical strength of Chelsea's attacking players, but also represents his serious "mistake" in tactics and starting player selection!

The veteran players of Manchester United, led by Wayne Rooney, are now wishing he led the team to a heavy defeat.

They have basically torn their faces apart, and with his temper, make him now bow his head and admit that he still has to rely on Rooney and Carrick and the others?

Then he'd rather just resign and leave!

It was impossible for him to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

No matter how good he has been with some of the players in the past, if you want to be out of the woods with him, you have to accept the fact that you are a substitute in his team!

Van Gaal, who had a calm face, called Ashley Young and Januzaj off the bench and told them to go straight to the sidelines to warm up.

The two United players are still closer to the coaching staff, while Juan Mata and Valencia, who are closer to Rooney, are not even a glance at Louis van Gaal.

Fellaini, who had just sorted out his emotions on the pitch, saw Van Gaal call the substitutes to warm up on the sidelines, and the psychological pressure also increased suddenly.

After all, his defensive misposition was very serious for the goal just now, even if he was subjectively very active and active in defense, but if he wanted to find the man who was behind the blame, he would definitely have to take the blame for the team's goal!

Louis van Gaal's move was also a wake-up call to several other Manchester United starting midfielders.

Competence is now a secondary issue and they have to show the positivity on the pitch that will satisfy Louis van Gaal.

If anyone completely disappoints Louis van Gaal in today's game, it is very likely that he will be sent to the bench at the back.

There's no time to complain or frustrate until Chelsea have celebrated their goals and the game is back up.

United's four midfielders quickly showed their 'positive attitude'.

Playing normally, their lateral coverage and sweeping speed were destined to be ineffective in stopping Chelsea's attacking penetration.

In order to be able to effectively disrupt Chelsea's attacking tempo, they had to think outside the box of normal play.

What should I do if I can't kick a ball?

Kick people directly!

This method is very unethical, and it is completely impossible to put on the table.

But it has to be said that in many cases, this vulgar and direct lethal tactic is indeed very effective.

Herrera and Schweinsteiger may still be relenting.

But Fellaini and Schneiderlin were not polite, and they went straight to Kroos and Hazard, who had a slightly weaker confrontation ability, and went straight to the black foot!

Fellaini's first attack on Cross was still relatively hidden, and Leon was far away from the place of the incident and did not see clearly, and by the time he passed, Cross had already gotten up on his own with his teeth bared.

But two minutes later, Schneiderlin's black-footed tackle on Hazard's ankle from behind was clearly seen by Leon!

Leon rushed much faster than the referee this time, and Schneiderlin finished the tackle behind him and stood up from the turf, and Leon pushed him directly out of the sideline!

"I'm going to kill you!!"

After overthrowing Schneiderlin to the sidelines, the angry Leon wanted to raise his foot and kick him, but was hugged by Matic, who was closer to him!

"Calm down, brother! You have to calm down! This is unstoppable! Kick you and go down with him......"

Little Brother Ma loudly persuaded him in Li Ang's ear.

At the moment, other Chelsea and Manchester United players who were relatively close to each other also rushed over to separate Leon and Schneiderlin.

But what is a little funny is that the Manchester United players who gathered around were also trying to persuade Li Ang not to get too excited.

It may be that they know that they are wrong, but few Manchester United starters will stand by Schneiderlin and shout at Leon.

Such a scene is really a bit funny, after all, as long as there is a dispute on the court, no matter who is right and who is wrong, the players of the same team must at least stand together and unite with each other.

Not to mention the Red Devils players of the generation of Cantona and Keane.

Just say that the group of Manchester United players led by Wayne Rooney in previous seasons will never be cowardly when they encounter such a conflict on the field, they will only step forward and be tough!

A "san" Manchester United may be praised by the FA and some of the sports media.

But at the moment, their performance has once again chilled the Manchester United fans at home!

In contrast, Leon's straightforward temper and strong style for his teammates are more in tune with old-school fans.

That is, Hazard was finally seen standing up normally again under the rapid treatment of the team doctor.

Otherwise, Li Ang is fighting for a ban today, and he must teach Schneiderlin a hard lesson!

The referee was also relieved to see that Hazard had no major problems with his ankle.

He first called Leon aside, repeatedly emphasized the injustice of the violence on the court, and gave Leon a verbal warning.

Then he called Schneiderlin to his side with a serious face, and under the nervous and nervous gaze of the Manchester United fans at the scene, he pulled out a yellow card to Schneiderlin.

Such a penalty is reasonable, after all, it is still at Manchester United's home stadium, and it is no problem to take care of Manchester United a little.

Leon was still a little dissatisfied, but after the referee had already set the penalty scale, he didn't say much, took a deep look at Schneiderlin, and turned to Hazard.

"He'll pay the price, I promise you, Eden!"

Leon gave his promise to Hazard, he was not joking, he was serious.

Hazard was of course very moved, but he was also afraid that Leon would do something out of the ordinary.

"Of course I believe you, Boss! But I really don't feel any discomfort right now, don't be impulsive, we'll give them back in the way of a game! ”

Hearing Hazard say this, Leon smiled and patted him on the shoulder and nodded.

The game quickly returned to normal, with Chelsea's attacking midfield players playing a more aggressive pace.

Li Ang pressed very forward, and he was also very active in running to ask for the ball, and it seemed that the desire to attack was very strong.

Just three minutes after the game resumed normal progress, Leon blasted two powerful long-range shots from outside the Manchester United penalty area!

Although the brave De Gea successfully saved both of Leon's long-range shots, the Manchester United defenders who felt the amazing speed of Leon's long-range shot at close range were still apprehensive!

"Don't give him a chance to get off his feet easily! Damn it! Finish him off outside the third zone! ”

De Gea yelled unceremoniously at his team-mates at the back.

He is usually quite composed and does not lose his temper as often as other goalkeepers.

But at this moment, he really felt the threat of Leon's long-range shot, but now there is no Ferdinand and Vidic in the backline.

Relatively old, he also has to take on more defensive responsibilities at the moment, roaring and reminding his teammates to cheer up!

Leon saw that De Gea's form was indeed very explosive, so he no longer tried too many long-range shots.

However, his attention was then turned more to Blind at the back.

Blind may be able to become a good defensive player with more versatility in the future, but his best position will definitely not be a central defender!

Don't look at the short legendary central defenders in football, but their strong physical qualities, especially their jumping ability, are not comparable to Blind.

The scene where Suarez pressed Blind to complete the top shot resurfaced in Leon's mind.

Leon started thoughtfully and then retreated.

The Reds didn't pose much of a threat in attack when they got the ball, after all, their midfield today was packed with more muscle than technique.

Lukaku's attempts to break through after winning the ball up front can be seen, but he is only one man and the Chelsea defenders know him too well.

After the three-board axe, Lukaku could only be caught up in Chelsea's defensive strangulation, and Manchester United provided him with too little passing support, and he ended up being alone.

After receiving the ball from Nemanja Matic again, Leon began to signal for Eden Hazard to return to the attack, and he also consciously divided the ball between the wings.

Hazard and Salah immediately understood Leon's thoughts.

In their attacking routine, once Leon starts to dominate the delivery of shells to the flanks, it means that Chelsea will be playing set-piece tactics!

As for the main two-wing Qi Fei attack tactics, Leon will hand over the playmaking power to Kroos, and when the two wide defenders follow suit, he will move more in the opponent's half.

Leon's running and receiving the ball is different, so Chelsea's on-field attacking tactics will also be fine-tuned.

You can't see it from outside, but the players in the Chelsea first team are all too familiar.

Romelu Lukaku also had the heart to remind the defenders at the back.

But when he thought about the "alienation" of the Manchester United players during this time, he suddenly didn't want to be sentimental anymore......

Eden Hazard and Mohamed Salah's ability to take the ball was on full display during this period.

Luke Shaw can still fight against the incompletely evolved Salah under his hard support, but Damian is completely a head-off against Hazard!

With his strength lacking, Darmian could only start to take tactical fouls.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Darmian brought down Hazard again on the right edge of the Manchester United penalty area, giving Chelsea a great set-piece opportunity!

De Gea nervously instructed his team-mates in front of goal to adjust their positions.

Three of Chelsea's previous set-pieces were a threat to United's goal.

Especially Kurt Zouma, who started in place of Maguire today, is also a ruthless header!

Just three minutes earlier, Kurt Zouma had beaten Chris Smalling in a corner and almost headed the ball into the middle of the United goal!

Had it not been for David De Gea's concentration and another brilliant save, United would never have trailed Chelsea by just one goal at this time.

Seeing Kurt Zouma squeeze into his own box once again, De Gea had to pick up 100 per cent to deal with the troublesome header...

Ten seconds later, Kroos observed the position of the players in the United penalty area, raised his right arm, and then got up and passed the ball into the United penalty area!

All of a sudden, the top players of Chelsea and Manchester United were in a tough confrontation!

Not to mention De Gea at the moment, the defenders in the Manchester United penalty area and the vast majority of Manchester United fans in the field were all focused on Kurt Zouma, who had played exceptionally well in the previous aerial battle.

And in the passionate roar of the English Sky Sports commentator, Zouma once again beat Smalling in front of Manchester United's penalty area this time, occupying an absolute advantage in the top position!

However, the football was high above his head after the jump, and it spun further into the middle of the Manchester United penalty area!

De Gea was shocked and quickly adjusted the direction of his perspective.

But faster than him, it was Leon's head-shaking action after he knocked Blind away!

This time, Leon pushed the ball to the top of the near corner of Manchester United's goal!

De Gea was supposed to focus on the Chelsea players in the middle of the box and in the far corner, but was so pushed by Leon that he had to turn back and rush back to the front post.

But the fraction of a second he wasted in the process doomed his save to be a failure!

De Gea stretched his fingertips as far as he could to touch the ball, but in the end he didn't touch anything!

The ball plunged headlong into the net above the near corner of the Manchester United goal!

When the net was swinging, thousands of Chelsea fans erupted in roaring cheers that overwhelmed tens of thousands of Manchester United goals!

Li Ang didn't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, he roared a few times in the direction where Schneiderlin was, and then slapped the team emblem on his chest and ran to the bottom line of Manchester United's half!

Roaring, slippery kneeling, celebrating, Leon's celebratory moves are all in one go!

But then he threw his fist into the air in a celebratory gesture that slammed it into the face of all United supporters!

It hurts, it's embarrassing, it's angry!

But Manchester United fans are also helpless.

As soon as this goal was scored, Manchester United basically couldn't escape defeat again!

It took several minutes of celebration before the Chelsea players returned to their own half with Lee in full swing.

With just over a decade of play remaining in the first half, Chelsea stopped attacking the Reds and started playing with passing in midfield.

Humiliation? Objectively speaking, it is not true, because Manchester City plays this set more often.

At this moment, in fact, all fans understand that the players on the field of Chelsea are subjectively humiliating Manchester United!

Laughing at these players who represent Manchester United for not having skills, and losing the fighting spirit of the Red Devils!

Kicking someone without being able to play the ball on the pitch is not the spirit of the Red Devils, it is just a sign that you can't afford to lose!

Manchester United's players were angry with the walk, and Louis van Gaal was equally angry from the sidelines.

But what can anger do?

At half-time, Louis van Gaal gave the Manchester United players a lot of blood, hoping that they can really fight blood!

However, after the start of the second half, United were aggressive, but Chelsea continued to control the ball in their own half.

After the bloody start of the second half from United's players, Chelsea continued to press hard.

However, Chelsea pressed a little higher and gave United the opportunity to play on the counter-attack.

In the 66th minute of the second half, the pressure-resisting Manchester United finally grabbed the ball steadily at the back.

Herrera was clever enough to turn his back to the ball and pass back.

Smalling received the ball and then sent a powerful through ball, and the ball penetrated the Chelsea forwards' counter-tackles and came to Schneiderlin's feet with more precision.

The French back was overjoyed, and when he received the ball, he turned around and began to advance with the ball!

But less than a second before he dribbled the ball, a sharp pain came from his heel, and the pain made him fall to the ground and start covering his feet and screaming in pain!

The cheering momentum at Old Trafford almost stopped at this moment, but the next moment, the crazy boos swept through the stadium and went straight for Leon!

Leon stood up from the turf with a very calm expression, and without even looking at Schneiderlin, who he had tackled, he turned to meet the Manchester United players who were rushing towards him angrily.

However, his team-mates went one step further and built a "wall" of isolation between him and the angry Manchester United players!

Leon looked directly at the emotional Manchester United players, and he didn't feel the slightest shame or regret in his heart.

He's very open!

He understands that he has made a mistake and has broken his own professional ethics.

But he never regretted making Schneiderling feel the pain that Hazard had felt in the same way!

Maybe he'll pay the price, but he'll still choose to stand up for his teammates!

And the rest of Chelsea's players are also supporting their captain with a resolute protective move at the moment!

Chelsea and Manchester United's players collided head-to-head.

The referee on duty looked stupid, he really didn't expect Li Angren to fake a compromise in front of him, but he endured it for half an hour and then retaliated back, and he was so "retribution" in private!

With a terrible whistle, the referee rushed to the middle of the players of the two teams who were chaotically clinging, separating the players on both sides.

"Leon!"

In the referee's solemn summons, Li Ang looked over, and a dazzling red was held high, which also means that he was sentenced to death by the referee!

But the mood in Leon's eyes was still very stable, and he did not choose to appeal, but took off the captain's armband on his arm.

"Eden, I'm sorry, please..."

After putting the captain's armband on the vice-captain Hazard on the field, Leon held his head high and walked off the pitch in the face of all kinds of insults and boos from tens of thousands of Manchester United fans on the field!

Scoring twice to help cement the win at Old Trafford is his responsibility as the heart of Chelsea's attack!

But at the same time, it is also his responsibility to help the bullied teammates come out and make the opponents with black feet pay!

That's his responsibility as captain of the team!
