When leaving the field, Rooney trotted to Cui Zhen's side and began to discuss with him the details of the game.

"The penetration of our vertical attack made it difficult to break through the Chelsea defense."

"Well, I've also noticed this. The opponent's back line is very good at protecting the penalty area, which is different from the combination of two full backs and two center backs."

Fullback, as the name suggests, is a wingback. Although this role has the responsibility of assisting the defense in the penalty area, it will more or less pay attention to the defense of the outside line. However, today the four defenders in Chelsea's back line all have the attributes of a central defender, which makes them defend the outside line. If the enthusiasm of the team is reduced, it will be difficult for the ribs to appear.

There was communication within the Manchester United team, trying to find the code to break through the Chelsea defense.

Mourinho also fine-tuned the offensive strategy in this regard during the intermission. He asked Cui Zhen to be more active and directly threaten the opponent's penalty area. In combination, this cannot be discarded.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Chelsea seemed to have no change. They still relied on the tactics of the first half to shake Manchester United's defense.

Chelsea has honed this set of anti-anti-counter tactics skillfully, and it is almost a success!Barcelona was destroyed by Chelsea's counterattack storm.

Manchester United paid more attention to the wing attack in the second half.Instead of hitting the inefficient center, it is better to force a shot from the side. As long as the threat is played, Chelsea will be forced to adjust!Then catch the flaws that may be exposed during the opponent's adjustment process!
In the 57th minute of the game, Cui Zhen cooperated with Pogba before and after the midfield. He took the initiative to pull the side and then cooperated with Herrera on the left. The road cut across the middle, and Kanter kicked and shot without giving Kanter a chance to get close!

The football bypassed defender Kurt Zouma and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Courtois made a brave save!
"Goalkeeper Courtois rejected Cui Zhen's inevitable goal! The stability of Chelsea's defense is inseparable from Courtois' excellent performance this season. He definitely has the strength to become the world's number one goalkeeper! "

In the 60th minute of the game, striker Diego Costa once again singled out Manchester United defender Damian. After the two collided, the football lost control and became a [-]-[-] opportunity to compete. Fortunately, Valencia returned from the wing wisely. The defense zone will clear the football bigfoot, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Manchester United defender Darmian became the main target of Chelsea's attack. He worked hard to bear the pressure, but the more courageous forward Diego Costa inevitably made him feel dangerous.

In the 64th minute of the game, Cui Zhen played a one-two with Mkhitaryan on the right side. Mkhitaryan passed the football back to Cui Zhen and was destroyed by defender David Luiz and went out of the sideline.

The fans in the stands felt the stalemate of the game. This shocking battle between the Premier League duo was too fierce. Chelsea's defensive strength was an eye-opener for the fans, because most of the time, Chelsea played some middle and lower teams in the league. Not many neutral fans are willing to watch the game, because the game is too boring.

It is not accidental that Chelsea can become the team with the fewest goals conceded and the best defense in the league, even among the top five European leagues!
And it just so happens that Manchester United today has the strongest offensive firepower among the five major European leagues!This is really a spear and shield war!
The ball that was destroyed by defender David Luiz rolled out of the sideline and rolled into the hands of the little ball boy. Mkhitaryan ran to prepare to send the sideline ball, but he found that Cui Zhen took the ball from the little ball boy before him.

So Mkhitaryan gave up, turned around and walked towards the stadium. Defender David Louis was going to mark Cui Zhen, but now he focused on Mkhitaryan. After all, Mkhitaryan is the closest to Cui Zhen.

Mkhitaryan turned his back to Cui Zhen. He was actually moving. He glanced at his teammates in the distance. They were all far away. He guessed that Cui Zhen would wait for Pogba or Phil Jones to come up to respond. After all, he is caught in the siege, with Kanter in front and defender David Luiz on the side. Maybe the moment the sideline kicks out, he will be harassed by personal marking.

But without the Chelsea players and Mkhitaryan personally realizing it, Cui Zhen directly threw the ball from the sideline!
Defender David Luiz watched the football fly towards Mkhitaryan and posted it subconsciously, but he was startled after taking a step: Mkhitaryan didn't look back, he didn't realize it at all!

Mkhitaryan was really taken aback.

He felt hit by a football on his back, and then he looked back, thinking that Cui Zhen had rashly kicked the sideline, and there was no cooperation between the two.

But after he turned his head, Mkhitaryan saw that the bouncing football had been controlled by Cui Zhen who stepped into the field to stop the ball.

He consciously threw the football on Mkhitaryan's back!It was a fit that Mkhitaryan wasn't even aware of, and one that was absolutely unexpected.

Defender David Luiz was a little hesitant at this moment, and he couldn't wait for time. Cui Zhen would not pay attention to his reaction.Start directly.Kicking the ball with his left foot in the direction of David Luiz, David Luiz subconsciously combined his legs, but it was still too late!
The football rolled under his legs, and Cui Zhen overtook him at the same time!

After an unexpected sideline ball hitting the wall, Cui Zhen used crotch piercing to break through defender David Luiz coherently!
David - Luiz this time was clean!He was really played by Cui Zhen!

The sideline kick is an impact on thinking. After the rhythm is messed up, the offensive and defensive skills become very passive.

Listen to the thunder in the silent place, see the flowers in the colorless place!
At this moment, Cui Zhen personally tore apart Chelsea's stable defense line - an obvious crack was opened!

And this crack became bigger and bigger after Cui Zhen cut into the restricted area from the side!
Chelsea's defense suddenly panicked.The tight and orderly defense began to expose gaps.

After Cui Zhen cut into the inside, defender Kurt Zouma immediately moved over to intercept, Cui Zhen directly kicked the ball and swept the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Rooney is sprinting forward, and defender Azpilicueta follows him everywhere. Rooney watched the football roll past him, and he didn't regret that Cui Zhen's pass didn't reach his feet. He knew that Cui Zhen must have a target for the pass. !

But it shouldn't be me!After missing the outflanking opportunity in the middle of the penalty area, Rooney and Azpilicueta did the same. They turned their heads and looked towards the left side of the penalty area. They saw defender Gary Cahill, despite going full speed to the center to help defend, but another figure faster.Herrera kicks and shoots directly against the rolling football!
The area on the left half of the goal is completely empty. Goalkeeper Courtois just went to the other side to prevent Cui Zhen from kicking and hitting the near corner!

Soccer hits the net!The sky at Old Trafford sounded deafening cheers!
The Red Devils' ingenious and extremely fierce offensive caused a shock in the entire stadium and stirred people's hearts!
Herrera rushed towards Cui Zhen. After the two hugged each other, other teammates rushed over to surround them. This is already the most common celebration scene for Manchester United this season. They played team football and showed the world that they are Unity!
Mourinho exhaled and raised his eyebrows and waved his fists up and down. Antonio Conte looked solemn. He didn't know how Chelsea should restrict the opponent. This kind of attack seemed to be put into action on a whim.

If even Cui Zhen was not sure that he would do it 5 seconds before throwing the throw-in, how would Chelsea know?Antonio Conte is a master of details, he pays attention to details, the main routine to contain the opponent's attack.

But is there a routine for Manchester United's goal today?No trace!

Cui Zhen uses both hands and feet, heels, hands throwing the sideline ball, hard to guard against!
"Manchester United reversed Chelsea! Cui Zhen and Mkhitaryan used the sideline ball to deceive the world! Mkhitaryan used his back as a wall for hitting the wall. After Cui Zhen threw the sideline ball, he immediately regained control of the ball and then pierced the crotch Breaking through defender David Luiz, Chelsea's defense is completely messed up at this time!
The gap on the right was so big that someone had to fill it up. The gap that appeared during the filling process was caught by Manchester United's offensive players. Rooney missed the outflanking opportunity in front of the goal, but Herrera sent the ball into the goal !From falling behind in the opening game to reversing Chelsea, Manchester United showed the world their powerful offensive firepower and incredible charm in offense! "

Chelsea will feel extremely unwilling.They seem to have done everything the best, but they were still destroyed by the opponent's unexpected attack!
Antonio Conte is still on the sidelines with a calm posture. He should be more enlightened than his disciples.

Not to mention now, even in the future, under his command, Chelsea cannot think about whether the ultimate defensive counterattack is right or wrong!
This is a matter of principle, a matter of the team's development route, which cannot be shaken or questioned!
On the road of utilitarian football, Antonio Conte has come to this day, his persistence is no less than that of Mourinho, Wenger, it is this kind of lonely advancement and firm belief like a seeker Skywalker, so Only then can they stand on the top stage in Europe and become the most eye-catching top coaches in the world!
No matter any setbacks and difficulties, he can't shake his will, and the blue army's soul will not be a little bit lost!
Stick to your own path!Regardless of winter, summer and spring and autumn!

On the basis of being behind 1:2, Antonio Conte decided to start taking risks to change his style of play, which is to fine-tune the offense on the basis of defensive counterattack.

Of course, as the most powerful coach in European football, how could he not make two-handed preparations?
Won't fall behind at Old Trafford?What a joke!
If he really thinks this way, then he is not arrogant, but conceited!
After he sent a signal to the frontcourt players, Chelsea's counterattack routines have new changes.

Midfielder Eden Hazard and Oscar Junior began to dribble the ball directly from the wing and cut across the center in front of the dangerous zone, disrupting Manchester United's midfield defense!Forcing Pogba and Schneiderlin to have no time to distract to take care of the defense of the back line.

Then let the three offensive players with layers in the front and back of the middle get a new release.

Striker Diego Costa, midfielder Pedro and Fabregas!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Oscar Junior crossed the side and found an empty pass to the striker. Since Schneiderlin was forced to go up to intercept Oscar Junior, midfielder Pedro would not go directly to the striker To attract Pogba's attention, then when Fabregas rushed up to respond to forward Diego Costa's return ball, he displayed a threatening long-range power!

A shot blasted out. Although Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea blocked it, the football was still in the penalty area. Fortunately, defender Phil Jones decisively returned to the center and was able to clear the siege with a big foot. However, the change in Chelsea's counterattack routine did make Manchester United have a headache.
