Mourinho's post-match spat with Antonio Conte escalated again.

"Chelsea's tactics are backwards! The posturing especially in the last few minutes of the game is disgraceful. Antonio Conte slams Tottenham for placing the bus. Look what his team are doing now? They will just be ugly Winning! But in front of a team that is really looking for beautiful football. Chelsea lost despite their two away goals, but we will prove at Stamford Bridge that Manchester United deserves to reach the Champions League semi-finals!"

"I don't know how Mourinho has the confidence to judge my team tactically, in my opinion, if Manchester United don't have No. 18 Cui Zhen, they will lose the game at Old Trafford!
Can anyone tell me that Mourinho trained Herrera to take a bad corner.Did Cui Zhen deliberately strengthen the second cross with his heel?Or did Mourinho train to pass the ball and asked Cui Zhen to use the scorpion tail to assist?Or the sideline ball deliberately smashed on the teammate to form an unexpected attack, which was also emphasized by Mourinho in tactical training?
Mkhitaryan's blank expression after turning around has told us the truth!Cui Zhen’s performance was wonderful, and he has made great progress. Today he deserves to be named the best player in the game. I praise his performance, but it does not mean that Manchester United’s tactics are more advanced or powerful than Chelsea’s. I am now Looking forward to playing Manchester United again at Stamford Bridge in a week's time! "

Cui Zhen and several players in the team with severe physical exertion were given a two-day vacation as an exception.For the past two days, Cui Zhen stayed in the apartment, and after eating, he slept and recovered his energy.

While he was resting, both Antonio Conte and Mourinho had to make a difficult choice.

The reason why the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season is extremely difficult.Because there is only one week between the two rounds of competition!
There is not much time left for the team to adjust and buffer.In the first round of the game itself, both Manchester United and Chelsea sent their main players to play in the previous weekend's league due to the stalemate in the league championship situation.

Neither team can take it lightly, any league loss or draw may ruin a season's efforts.

It can be said that the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals is the second game in 4 days!
On Saturday afternoon, there were six games in the 32nd round of the Premier League played simultaneously.

Among them, the game between Chelsea and Manchester United kicked off at the same time, and the suspense about how Manchester United and Chelsea will line up in the league is finally revealed.

Antonio Conte's Chelsea put most of the substitutes at Stamford Bridge, resting the main lineup in preparation for a stronger second leg of the Champions League.

Mourinho led the team to the Riverside Stadium and let the main lineup continue to fight!
The two coaches are the bosses of the team. No player will object to the decisions they make. In fact, the trade-offs and profit-loss considerations are not understandable from the player's standpoint.

There is no choice that maximizes benefits, and there is no choice that is foolproof and does not take risks.

Players certainly want to get the best results in all games, but the reality is that the physical consumption of sprinting at the end of the season will seriously affect the on-the-spot performance of key games.

After Cui Zhen rested for two days, his newly recovered physical strength was about to be used in the battle at the riverside stadium.

Middlesbrough led by Ettore Karanka did not expect that Manchester United would send all the main players to the battle. They thought that Manchester United would take into account the Champions League so as to restrain themselves in the league, so that the main players would have a chance to breathe and nourish their energy. Store your energy for the big battle in four days.

Middlesbrough have played well at home this season, and have played a steady counterattack in front of Manchester United. Manchester United's midfield organization with Cui Zhen as the core has the upper hand on the scene and launched an extremely oppressive attack.

Manchester United continued to attack Middlesbrough's gate with long-range shots, personal breakthroughs, and set-piece threats.With continued efforts, Pogba.Herrera, Mkhitaryan, and Valencia all shot long shots to show threats.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Cui Zhen responded to Pogba's pass in front of the penalty area, and a long shot hit defender Frye, which was refracted and flew into Middlesbrough's goal.

Goalkeeper Randolph felt helpless. His prediction was correct. He dared not say that Cui Zhen's long shot was 100% blocked, but he had great confidence after all. Unexpectedly, the football hit the shoulder of defender Frye and flew directly towards the goal. On the other side, Randolph could only look at the ball and sigh.

"Cui Zhen opened the scoring for Manchester United! He scored a key goal!"

The Red Devils fans who accompanied the team to the away game cheered for Cui Zhen, but Cui Zhen himself felt fatigued faster than usual.

Before he had enough rest, he fought another tough battle. He couldn't think about whether he could face the game with a full body and mind in the Champions League a few days later. The thing before him was to win this league victory!
There are only seven rounds left in the league!Middlesbrough continued their tenacious resistance at home and threatened Manchester United's goal with counterattacks.

In the second half of the game, Mourinho was thinking about whether to make a substitution on the sidelines, but the score of 1:0 was not safe, and he needed to be sure to win the game.

Manchester United continued to exert offensive pressure on Middlesbrough. In the 71st minute of the second half, Cui Zhen played for Herrera. Herrera shot diagonally to the goal. The ball is scored!
"Manchester United sealed the victory! 2:0, Rooney scored his 28th goal in the Premier League this season! Now he not only ranks first in the Premier League scorer list, looking at the top European leagues, Rooney is also the top scorer list The top scorer! He is very likely to defend the European Golden Boot!"

After scoring this goal, Mourinho made a decisive substitution. Cui Zhen, Rooney, and Herrera were replaced. The game only lasted more than 70 minutes, but Cui Zhen felt that he was close to being physically exhausted. degree.

The continuous consumption of physical energy in the latest stage is too serious. Moreover, every game in this recent game, regardless of the strength of the opponent, is a point-grabbing or a key battle, and the investment will be greater than that of the first half of the season.

Cui Zhen sat between Rooney and Herrera after leaving the field. The three of them were all sweating, drinking water while watching the game engrossed.

Manchester United began to defend with all their strength and reduce the pace of the game. Although Middlesbrough counterattacked with all their strength, their ability to attack tough battles was limited, and it was difficult to do anything in Manchester United's dangerous zone. No danger.

When the game was over, Cui Zhen saw his teammates and coaching staff whispering to each other.

He seemed to hear Chelsea's name, and then he was shocked, grabbed Rooney's arm and asked, "What? What happened?"

Wayne Rooney stood up straight away, pulled Cui Zhen into a hug with a smile on his face, and shouted excitedly: "Chelsea was tied by Birmingham at home! Now our two teams have the same points, but our goal difference is 3 more than Chelsea. ! Manchester United back to the top of the standings!"

When Cui Zhen heard this, he hugged his teammates and jumped up and down to celebrate, which relieved their tense nerves.

The leader who changed hands in the middle of the season is now back in the hands of Manchester United!Mourinho showed great joy after the game for a long time.

Stamford Bridge is shrouded in a fog of worry!Birmingham has nothing to desire, but it doesn't mean that Birmingham will kneel in front of Chelsea indifferently and give away three points!

In addition, Chelsea did not give their best in this round. When they encountered Birmingham's tenacious resistance, they seemed to be unable to score goals, and thus lost a victory that everyone thought should be achieved!

Antonio Conte said after the game that Chelsea did not lose the initiative to compete for the championship, because there will be another league match between Chelsea and Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. At that time, Chelsea can return to the top of the standings as long as they beat Manchester United.

Mourinho gave Antonio Conte a sentence that Antonio Conte once said after the game: Manchester United will not give Chelsea any more chances.

"The Times" focused on the report of Chelsea and Manchester United.

"As of the end of the 32nd round of the Premier League, Manchester United and Chelsea have raised the points to 81 points at the same time! The two teams broke through the 80-point average of the Premier League championship in the same period! 80 points, in the history of the Premier League restructuring 20 teams, has already It is very close or guaranteed to win the championship, but now the problem is: two teams have scored 81 points! This season is undoubtedly the most competitive and brutal season since the establishment of the Premier League! This is the season of this season The Premier League is unprecedentedly fierce and cruel!"

Even though Chelsea hold high the banner of defensive counterattack and have low consumption, but at the end of the season when the opponents with goals are also fighting for points, Chelsea must be more active, so the consumption in the league should not be underestimated!Such a cruel choice lies ahead!
After two games in four days, on the weekend, the third game on the seventh day, how will the two teams line up in the league?
Anyway, in the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week, which is the fourth game on the 11th day, it is impossible for the two teams to send substitutes!Absolutely all the main force will be dispatched, and elite soldiers and strong generals will be dispatched!
The key is that if in the third game, which is the 32nd round of the Premier League this weekend, will the two teams give the main players a rest?
Both Mourinho and Antonio Conte are having headaches, and Media City directly analyzed the current situation for the two teams.

"Manchester Evening News" listed the pros and cons of the situation faced by the two teams.

Manchester United is 2 points behind Chelsea in the league. With 7 rounds left in the league, according to Chelsea's stability and terror in the league, there is absolutely no room for losing points. This is one of them, which shows the importance of the league.

The second is that Manchester United took a 3:2 lead in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals. Even though it may take into account the away goal factor and the away disadvantage of going to Stamford Bridge in the next round, 3:2 really does not mean Nothing, but at least United are ahead.

The third is the league opponents. In the 32nd round, Manchester United will be a guest at the Riverside Stadium and challenge the host Middlesbrough there. This is by no means an easy game.

Middlesbrough has goals and ambitions. Under the leadership of the current Middlesbrough coach Ettore Karanka, Middlesbrough ranks seventh in the league and is expected to enter the UEFA Cup next season. The strength of Delsburg may indeed upset Manchester United. Randolph is the goalkeeper, defenders Fabio and Gibson are in the defense, Clayton, Forshaw, Downing are in the midfield, and Asong is on the front line. Baronga!

With Middlesbrough sitting at home like this, how can Manchester United have the confidence to send a substitute to defeat their opponents?

Chelsea is the exact opposite of Manchester United!Chelsea lead the league by 2 points!After losing in the first round of the Champions League, to reverse Manchester United in the second round, they must show stronger combat effectiveness at home!
This round of Chelsea will sit at home at Stamford Bridge against underdogs Birmingham.

It can be said that Birmingham has no pursuit. They have 37 points and are far away from the relegation zone. Even if they lose to Chelsea, no one will doubt that Birmingham can finally succeed in relegation. After all, there are still 6 games, and they only need to win 1 game Or 2 draws, basically it is locked to continue to survive in the Premier League next season!

The situation before Manchester United and Chelsea can be said to be stalemate and complicated but in some places it is the opposite.

Chelsea lead the league and Manchester United take the lead in the Champions League.

When the league and the Champions League compete at the same time, how to choose?

The choice of the two coaches will be announced when the weekend league kicks off at the same time!
