Chapter 0043
Although neither side failed to score a goal in the first half, no one could deny it. This was a dull first half. Anyone who watched the game knew very well that both sides played extremely high technical and tactical standards in the first half. Failed to score, it can only be said that both sides were not only good at the offensive end, but also in defensive end.
If any of the two teams were replaced with another team, maybe the remaining team in the first half had already scored goals, or even more than one goal.
During the halftime break, major media were talking about the game, the players on both sides, and the head coaches on both sides.
If in the past, many people still doubt Ye Su's coaching ability and Manchester United's strength this season, such voices have been reduced a lot after this half.
Being able to fight the powerful Chelsea in this way, being able to wrestle the experienced Mourinho, and even leading Manchester United to gain a certain advantage, Ye Su's ability has been recognized by truly knowledgeable people, and Manchester United's strength has also been recognized.
Many people are saying that after the end of this game, no matter what the final result is, Ye Su will definitely disappear at the forefront in the coach's dismissal rankings, and Manchester United's odds for winning the championship will probably change greatly.
Only by fighting against a real strong man in this way can you be recognized as quickly as possible.
……………………
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United still took the lead in the attack.
In the 50th minute, Manchester United played another wonderful cooperation in the midfield. Mata dribbled the ball and broke through Chelsea's strangle in the middle. Chelsea midfielder Fabregas saw that the situation was not good, decisively used a tactical foul to knock down Mata. Although he received a yellow card, it also prevented Manchester United from a very threatening attack.
In the 52nd minute, after cooperating with Mata, Vardy passed the ball and found Rooney in the penalty area. However, Lu Xiaopang was unable to shoot under the opponent's close press, so he had no choice but to pass back.
De Bruyne, who was at the top of the penalty area, received a pass from Rooney, but he adjusted a little more, giving Chelsea players time to defend, and then his shot missed the goal under the opponent's close interference.
Just when Manchester United besieged Chelsea, there was a short-term problem with the defense, which gave Chelsea a chance to counterattack.
In the 53rd minute, Chelsea launched a long pass counterattack in the backcourt. Hazard and Drogba played against the wall and cooperated with each other and broke into the penalty area for 8 yards, but the shot was saved by De Gea.
Chelsea got a corner kick opportunity, Fabregas took a corner kick from the left, Drogba headed the ball from 6 yards at the front point, and Chelsea scored 1:0 Manchester United.
During this loss of the ball, Luke Shaw had some problems with his defense. He failed to keep an eye on Drogba and gave his opponent a chance to grab the lead.
The lagging Manchester United quickly launched a counterattack, while Chelsea used fouls to organize Manchester United's offense. Although Oscar and Ivanovan paid the price of getting yellow cards one after another, Manchester United's offensive was also successfully disintegrated by Chelsea.
……………………
Seeing that the game was about to enter 70 minutes, Ye Su and Mourinho made the choice of substitution.
In the 67th minute, both sides substituted, Chelsea strengthened defense and Manchester United strengthened offense.
On Manchester United, Bruno Fernandez made a substitute Carrick, Manchester United changed to 433, Kanter played a single midfielder, Mata and De Bruyne played as double midfielder, Valdy and Bruno Fernandez were pushed onto the front line.
For Chelsea, Mikel replaced Oscar, one of the offensive cores.
However, Ye Su has not activated the chicken blood card yet.
Because the chicken blood card has obvious sequelae, Ye Su dared not leave a gap in the final stage of the game in confrontation with experts like Chelsea. Therefore, he did not plan to use the chicken blood card before 75 minutes.
In the past few minutes, Manchester United players have to rely on their own abilities to fight. If they can equalize the score better, if they can't, they can only wait 75 minutes before the game arrives.
Chelsea's defense is indeed strong. After all, Mourinho's bus is an internationally well-known trademark. Despite the continuous attacks by Manchester United, they still failed to break through Chelsea's city in the 75th minute of the game.
……………………
In the 75th minute of the game, Ye Su no longer hesitated and decisively activated the chicken blood Technique Card.
There are only 15 minutes left in the regular game, even if it is 5 minutes of injury time, it is enough for a chicken blood card that lasts for 20 minutes.
The Manchester United player who was stimulated by the chicken blood card was shocking on the court.
Many people think that at this time, the players' physical fitness has reached a limit and the rhythm of the game on the court will slow down. However, the Manchester United suddenly exploded and suddenly raised the rhythm of the game.
However, the Muslim bus is extraordinary after all. Facing Manchester United's fierce attack, Chelsea seemed a little embarrassed on the scene, but it still withstands Manchester United's bombing.
In the 78th minute, Manchester United launched an attack from the left, Vardy broke through and passed back, Luke Shaw made a pass, and Rooney shot from 8 yards on the left rib was saved by Courtois.
In the 79th minute, Bruno Fernandez cut inside from the right and shot with his left foot from the front of the penalty area.
In the 80th minute, Kyle Walker made a cross from the right, and Mata headed the ball from 12 yards from the right rib and shot high in the far corner.
...
As Manchester United's offensive became more and more fierce, Chelsea's defense looked shaky. However, the Blues showed extraordinary resilience.
Since winning the Premier League in the 2009-2010 season, the Blues have been away from the Premier League championship for four seasons. This is also an important reason why Abraham invited Mourinho back.
After missing the league championship for many years, Chelsea players are also full of desire for the championship. Therefore, in the face of Manchester United's strong attack, they will fight for every inch of land. They will not give Manchester United players a comfortable opportunity to get the ball, nor will they give Manchester United players a comfortable opportunity to take the ball.
At this moment, Chelsea has entered the defense of all its members, including Drogba and Hazard on the front line, all of which have been put into defense, and it is not just a show.
In the 88th minute, in order to stop Manchester United's attack, Hazard directly knocked down Manchester United's right-back Kyle Walker, and for this reason, the Belgian midfielder received a yellow card.
……………………
Seeing that the regular time is about to end, although the Manchester United are still attacking tirelessly, many people are no longer optimistic that Manchester United can equalize the score, let alone win in a reverse way.
Mourinho also took the initiative to delay time at this time.
In the 90th minute, Mourinho replaced Hazard with Schuller, which dragged down Manchester United's offensive time for about one minute.
However, Manchester United also completed a substitution during this period, and Ye Su replaced Mata with Fellaini.
After Peng Pengtou appeared, he directly hit Chelsea's goal. It was obvious that Ye Su planned to bombard the bombing to the end in the last few minutes of injury stoppage time.
However, Chelsea has accumulated too many players on both sides in the penalty area, so it is difficult for Manchester United to get any good shooting opportunities.
When the game reached the 93rd minute, with only the last minute left to stop the injury, Mourinho made another substitution and delayed the time.
Many Manchester United fans were already desperate and stood up to leave.
At this time, under Ye Su's command, Manchester United slightly changed its tactics. Bruno Fernandez and Valdy on both sides strengthened their running and breakthroughs.
Especially when facing Bruno Fernandez's Ivanovic, he was almost exhausted at this time. Facing Bruno Fernandez who only appeared in the second half, there was still a problem with the defense of the Chelsea defender. He reached out to the Portuguese when he was broken through by Bruno Fernandez.
The referee showed a yellow card, and Ivanovic had already received a yellow card before, so the two yellows turned red, and the Chelsea defender was sent off.
In the last minute, Chelsea will have one less player to fight.
……………………
Mourinho didn't care much about this, and Chelsea did not plan to attack in the last minute.
The only problem is that Chelsea has used up the substitution quota, and Mourinho can no longer replace the defender to strengthen the defense.
But Chelsea's defense has always been very strong, and others should be able to withstand Manchester United's last blow.
Because this free kick is on the left side of the stadium and Mata has left the field, Rooney takes the free kick.
Ye Su also switched the free kick card to Rooney without hesitation.
Ivanovic's choice of foul is very particular. This place is more than 30 meters away from the goal and the position is relatively off. Rooney has little chance of shooting directly.
Rooney did not choose to shoot directly, but chose to pass the ball.
At this time, Manchester United had too many headers on the court, especially the three highs of Fellaini, Van Dijk and Maguire, which were simply a nightmare for Chelsea's defense.
While Rooney took a free kick, both players rushed forward, Manchester United players wanted to grab the landing point, while Chelsea players wanted to clear the ball before Manchester United players.
In the chaos, Manchester United's three absolute highs still show great power.
Van Dijk and Maguire attracted most of Chelsea's defensive attention at the front point. Although they failed to jump and compete for the top under the opponent's pull, they also created opportunities for their teammates behind them.
In the end, Fellaini grabbed the landing point and headed the ball 6 yards away from the goal.
Courtois's performance today was indeed very brave. Facing Fellaini's powerful header that was close to him, he still responded, almost instinctively blocking Fellaini's header.
However, among the chaotic players on both sides, a red figure was obviously half a beat faster than the other players. He flew to the ball landing point, stretched his feet in a very strange posture to block the ball that Courtois blocked into the goal again.
In the 94th minute, Vardy scored a goal in front of the goal, drawing Chelsea!
Chapter completed!
