Soccer Super Marksman

The excitement of returning to the top of the standings will bring Manchester United a certain amount of mental stimulation, allowing them to go to Stamford Bridge with a better mental outlook and mental state, but this will not effectively improve their main lineup, and the physical consumption of continuous combat in the near future situation.

Chelsea host Stamford Bridge, Manchester United against Chelsea.

Stamford Bridge was full of seats, and Chelsea fans cheered for Chelsea hoarsely in the stands in a state of sadness.They are afraid of a result: Chelsea's double-line collapse at the end of the season!
With such an outstanding performance in the league, it may become the team with the highest points in the history of the Premier League, but it was not expected that Manchester United will keep pace with Chelsea in the standings this season, and Chelsea will be placed in second place with the advantage of goal difference.

Chelsea have a lot of goal difference, but they rely not on goals, but on defense. They have conceded nearly 20 goals less than Manchester United, but Manchester United's strong offensive firepower this season makes it impossible to score goals even if they concede more goals. Leading Chelsea and even the major European teams, they achieved a goal difference advantage of 3 points.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United temporarily leads Chelsea with a total score of 3:2. Blues fans worry that if this game fails to win the expected victory, then Chelsea will probably only have one League Cup title this season as a consolation .

After all, they were out early in the FA Cup.

In the player channel, Chelsea's generals seemed to contain an aura of underdogs fighting, while Manchester United's whole team came to Stamford Bridge with a sharp edge.

Although Mourinho declared before the game that Manchester United was facing the game in the best condition, in fact he knew that Chelsea's physical condition would be better than Manchester United.

Antonio Conte ruthlessly appeared on the court, obviously already creating the best record in Chelsea's history in the league.It may also be the best record in the Premier League excluding Manchester United during the same period, but Chelsea is now No.2 in the standings, not No.1.

In any case, this game cannot be lost!
Manchester United exchanged the physical cost of the main players in exchange for the result of overtaking Chelsea in the league. If Chelsea recharged their batteries to face the second round of the Champions League knockout round, but could not show a stronger place than Manchester United, then Antonio Conte might become the winner. laughing stock.

"The exciting second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin. Manchester United leads Chelsea 3:2 on aggregate. Today's game at Stamford Bridge should be Chelsea's last stand. Only a week has passed, and the situation between Chelsea and Manchester United has changed. There have been drastic changes. A week ago, the Premier League leader was Chelsea, and a week later, the Premier League leader became Manchester United. This game may be a watershed in the double-line competition between Chelsea and Manchester United!
Unlike the previous starting lineup, Antonio Conte made two personnel changes in today's starting lineup, that is, the right back was replaced by Marcos Alonso, who is more capable of assisting.And Matic is back in the midfield, obviously.Chelsea need to score!
Chelsea started 433.

Goalkeeper: Courtois.

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso, Gary Cahill, Kurt Zouma.

Midfield: Fabregas, Kante, Matic.

Forwards: Diego Costa, Hazard, Oscar Junior.

Manchester United started 4231.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Phil Jones, Valencia, Bailly, Damian.

Midfielders: Pogba, Cui Zhen, Herrera, Mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin.

Forward: Rooney.

Well, the game will start immediately, and Chelsea will kick off first! "

From the start of the game, Chelsea looked more proactive than in the previous game, their midfield was more fluid than the previous game, and the attacking organization was moving quickly.

Because Matic did not play in the last game, this offensive and defensive midfielder is Chelsea's main player this season, but he was absent due to a minor injury in the last game. After returning to the starting lineup today, Fabregas was liberated even more. At the same time, it ensures that Chelsea's midfield has stronger control.

Manchester United seems to be relatively passive, Cui Zhen's position is relatively low, and he is actively participating in the defense.

Through his observation and feeling of the game, the reason why Chelsea seems to be able to make the offense faster and more smoothly is not because Chelsea has made too much qualitative change, but because Manchester United's rhythm has slowed down!

Due to the accumulation of fatigue, the physical condition is not as good as that of the opponent. In the league four days ago, Manchester United was exhausted, but Chelsea's main force was not exhausted. In addition, today is the game at Stamford Bridge.

Between the ebb and flow, Manchester United's overall disadvantage on the field is more obvious.

Mourinho couldn't help frowning on the sidelines. The physical gap between the two sides was more serious than he imagined.

Chelsea were significantly faster than Manchester United into the game.The team with poor physical condition, coupled with the away game, will take longer to adapt to the game atmosphere and enter the state.

What is clear is that demanding team play is much more difficult when teammates are not on the same beat.

Cui Zhen worked hard to control the rhythm of the game. He could not interact with his teammates in a dangerous zone, otherwise it would be fatal if he lost the ball and was hit fast break.

But in the midfield area, Chelsea players swarmed and countered like tigers and had a huge impact, which made his organizational work extremely difficult.

In the opening 15 minutes, Manchester United did not even play a decent attack.

Chelsea's physical advantage is fully reflected!Their offensive and defensive state is unified and tacit, like a tide, rushing to the frontcourt when attacking, and retreating to the half court when defending, with a very strong sense of rhythm.

Cesc Fabregas's performance today was much better than the previous game. He scored the ball in the middle of the midfield and was very efficient.

In the 19th minute of the game, Chelsea, whose offense continued to hit the Manchester United defense area with simple routines, once again sent a threatening ball through a 45-degree cross from the left by striker Hazard. The cross flew quickly to the rear point of the penalty area .

Damian was taken by striker Diego Costa in the retreat. Costa's performance in the second half of the season was more eye-catching than the first half of the season. This represents his progress. This time, he jumped high and headed the ball Attacking the goal, it was like smashing the ball with his head, and the football flew straight to the dead corner of the upper right corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper De Gea flew to the extreme but was powerless!

"Chelsea scored the first goal, forward Hazard assisted Diego Costa with a header! Chelsea showed a strong fighting power at home! Bailey's absence has had a great impact on Manchester United. If it was Bailly, this goal would never Letting Diego Costa take it so easy, Damian is still not out of the nightmare that Diego Costa brought him!"

It is undeniable that after the end of the last round, the offensive and defensive matchup in which Damian was crushed by Diego Costa was deliberately amplified by the media, which will have a great impact on the mental state of young players!
Herrera and Pogba have to encourage Damian to cheer up and prevent him from getting worse. If he becomes another Blind of Manchester United, then Manchester United will not say this game, maybe the next game will reach Mian would be a ticking time bomb.

When striker Diego Costa broke the deadlock on the field and equalized the total score for Chelsea to 1:0, and after Chelsea led Manchester United with an away goal advantage, the entire Stamford Bridge fell into a huge carnival.

Antonio Conte paced the sidelines with vibrating arms and a grim face, then immediately gestured to the Chelsea players, telling the team to play a defensive counterattack!

In Cui Zhen's view, this was an unwise decision by Chelsea.

Because if Chelsea take advantage of the victory to pursue and use their physical advantages to speed up the tempo to drag down Manchester United, perhaps Manchester United's disadvantage in this game will become impossible to turn around.

But Chelsea is a team that is good at defending and counterattacking, and it is understandable that Antonio Conte made such a change.

This gave Cui Zhen more room to relax and the Manchester United team to buffer. After the re-kick-off, Cui Zhen did not immediately launch an offensive. Under the situation of overall instability, aggressive attack will only be inefficient, and at the same time, the offensive and defensive system is fragmented. .

He worked hard to interact with his teammates and create a situation where Manchester United was not chaotic.

After 10 minutes of stabilization and state adjustment, Cui Zhen began to instigate a team-based threat attack.It is difficult to play in the middle. Compared with the previous game, Chelsea's defense in the middle of this game has once again improved to a higher level.

Cui Zhen took the initiative to pull the side and launched a threatening offensive with Mkhitaryan on the right. The two pushed the attack to the bottom line by hitting the wall. La formed a chance to attack, and defender Azpilicueta nodded in the back to make a clearance, which made Herrera sigh.

"Chelsea's defense today is more targeted than in the last leg against Manchester United. They are familiar with Manchester United's cross strategy. Look at Azpilicueta's running. Tich goes back to block Rooney's front point, and then he goes to block the back point of the penalty area! Chelsea counterattack!"

Defender Cesar Azpilicueta's header was picked up by full-back Marcos Alonso. The Spanish full-back has a strong assist ability and strode forward when Herrera couldn't harass him. Carry the ball forward along the sidewalk.

Oscar Junior pressed Valencia to keep them from moving. When Marcos Alonso rushed through the half, Schneiderlin had to help defend. At this time, Marcos Alonso crossed the ball Passed, Fabregas slanted forward to take the ball, and Pogba immediately moved laterally to expand the defensive area.

Cui Zhen can't form an effective defense in the pursuit. Once Cui Zhen is in the danger zone of Chelsea when attacking, then when Chelsea's quick counterattack that shocked Europe is completed, any player in the frontcourt who returns to defense is actually doing useless work. But Cui Zhen still has to run, at least to block the possible rear insertion point, Matic or Kanter.

Otherwise, it might be wise not to run once, twice!three times!There is always a heavy price to pay for not returning to defense.

In the process of dribbling the ball diagonally, Fabregas saw the ball diagonally in the middle of the penalty area at the right time.Forward Eden Hazard cut inside to receive a pass from Cesc Fabregas and played it out to striker Diego Costa.

Diego Costa did not cooperate with Hazard to hit the wall. Instead, Hazard ran towards Diego Costa. Diego Costa confuses Damian by pretending to turn around. After the center of gravity moved, Diego Costa crossed the ball, and Hazard slammed the ball from the other side of Damian's body directly into the penalty area!
After the ball entered the penalty area, Hazard took a direct shot!The football hangs straight to the upper left corner of the goal!
"The Belgian genius Hazard scored the second goal for Chelsea! Chelsea led Manchester United 2:0 at Stamford Bridge, and the total score reversed Manchester United 4:3!"

Mourinho's face changed several times on the sidelines, Chelsea's counterattack was too strong!
