Since Manchester United is still the top team, then risking a strong attack in the away game, the opponent is still an expert in defensive counterattack, isn't this courting death?
Antonio Conte, as long as Chelsea can score a goal, Manchester United will have to attack, maybe the result will be a Chelsea victory!
But if Chelsea can't make a strong attack, and Manchester United's counterattack advances by one goal, then Chelsea may have to attack and score two goals. Can Chelsea complete such a task?
Mourinho gritted his teeth, he has some regrets, if a few days ago before the second round of the Champions League, he ordered the team to play this kind of game that doesn't care about the situation, as long as the ultimate defense of victory, maybe Chelsea would not take the lead Scoring a goal, but only awakening after failure, this kind of thing is too commonplace.

Antonio Conte broke out in cold sweat on the sidelines!Do you want to attack Manchester United hard, or let the situation stalemate and watch Manchester United retreat?
He knows that if Chelsea win this game, they will almost lock the league title.But conversely, what if Manchester United win?Then Manchester United can also be declared a success!
Because Manchester United's lead will be extended to a goal difference!They have a goal difference advantage, as long as there will not be a big defeat later, even if a small defeat occurs, Manchester United will still be on Chelsea's head.

Antonio Conte has not given instructions for a long time. Chelsea players can only implement the pre-match strategic deployment step by step. Of course, they mainly focus on defense and counterattack. It is difficult to make waves in Manchester United's dense defense zone.

Antonio Conte weighs the pros and cons and must think carefully before making a decision.Chelsea's lack of creativity is naturally related to their tactical drills.The reason why their defense is fast and sharp is actually related to the lack of change in the overall tactics.

This includes the basic strategy of player positioning.

For example, Manchester United's offensive creativity is rich, and it is based on a kind of disorder that relies on the tacit understanding established by the players for a long time. During the movement, players change positions frequently and change roles, which makes it difficult for opponents to guard against.

Chelsea's defensive counterattack actually has relatively low requirements for players to move. In order to ensure the efficiency of the counterattack, the offensive players have strong requirements for the control of their respective areas.

Once there is space, when the backcourt players pass the ball forward, they will immediately see the teammates in that area and send the pass immediately, ensuring the speed and efficiency of the counterattack and achieving a smooth and fast effect.And this is the most powerful part of their counterattack. It looks monotonous, but it is also difficult to exert great power.

And this kind of requirement has become a kind of thinking restraint in Chelsea's positional battle. There are very few changes between players. Except for wingers to wingers, it is actually just a change of environment for personal performance. However, in a positional battle, they want to rely on point-to-point passing without the threat of further player changes and running passes to shake Manchester United's tight defense.

For example, when Manchester United broke through the dense defense, the attacking midfielder changed to a winger, the winger cut the attacking midfielder, the forward turned into a winger or a second forward, and the fullback attacked the front line and turned into a forward. With teamwork, can Chelsea play well?

Can't get it out!It's not a question of ability at all, but the shackles of thinking and tactics!

The more Antonio Conte thinks about it, the more pessimistic he is. His Chelsea wants to break through Manchester United's defense when breaking through the dense defense. If they can't pay the attack price of at least 6 players, it is almost impossible to touch Manchester United's goal.

And if there is a lot of space in the backcourt and there are only three or four people defending, God knows what kind of good show Memphis-Depay and Rooney will perform.

It wasn't a game Mourinho liked, but it was one he had to see and order.

Chelsea is strong in defense, and Manchester United will not take the initiative to tear the opponent's defense.

He has to wait, wait for Chelsea to take the initiative to weaken the defense, take the initiative to expose its flaws, as long as Chelsea dares to take risks!

The first half ended with a dreary 0:0.

The Chelsea players walked quickly into the tunnel, expecting Antonio Conte to come up with a good way to break through Manchester United's dense defense.

Will Antonio Conte run out of tricks?

No!He has a way!But all methods are based on not talking about matching, but at least the difference between the number of offense and defense is not big!
Manchester United is committed to at least eight active defenses. Memphis Depay is full of energy. He participates in both defense and offense in the midfield. Only Rooney acts as an arrow in front and does not participate in defense.

Chelsea wants to destroy Manchester United's defense with four offensive players, isn't it whimsical?

Only with more offensive players can the offense generate more changes, but at the same time, more offensive players mean that the number of defensive players will decrease.

6 people attack, then the backcourt is counterattacked, there are only 4 people.

If 7 people attack, there are only 3 people left in the backcourt!
In the case where both teams are handy against the counterattack, this kind of arithmetic problem is very simple.

As for the success rate of offense and defense, no matter whether Chelsea intends to invest 6 or 7 people, or more to shake Manchester United, they will be at a disadvantage due to the limited space of the field and the confrontation of frontal attacks. Manchester United will definitely have a wider counterattack. space.Either 2 or 3 people.They are more efficient and more threatening than Chelsea's offense!
Antonio Conte knows the essence of this gamble, which is an unreasonable gamble in exchange for a lower offensive success rate at a higher defensive cost.

But his Chelsea, in fact, used this kind of thinking to achieve dazzling results this season!

They forced their opponents to weaken the attack to attack, and then Chelsea had a greater success rate on the counter-attack, and he became the winner.Chelsea became a new terror force in Europe.

When the position is reversed, will Chelsea dare to gamble?

Antonio Conte returned to the field with a somewhat ugly face. He did not make any changes and emphasized that the team should defend well.

If neutral fans hear it, they will definitely find it ridiculous!In the first half, Chelsea did not threaten Manchester United's goal, and Manchester United also did not have the slightest threat to Chelsea's goal.

Strengthen defense?Where?Antonio Conte is actually afraid that if the players can't hold back their offense, they will be hit hard by Manchester United's quick counterattack!

He thought about the schedule for the next five games.Chelsea have an uphill battle at the Emirates Stadium and other than that, they won't face too much of a challenge.

Manchester United is different. Manchester United not only has to play a game with their arch-rival Tottenham.And the Merseyside duo of Liverpool and Everton may attack Manchester United!

It can be said that Manchester United's closing schedule is much more difficult than Chelsea!Chelsea can't afford to bet their lives with Manchester United now!
Antonio Conte thought so.Mourinho felt dispirited and sighed inwardly: An ugly game!
The duo, which each scored 5 goals in the two rounds of the Champions League, has high expectations for the championship battle between them. Everyone hopes that the two teams can stage a fierce battle, and then the world will collapse.

Unfortunately, the trend of the game was completely eye-popping, the fans in the stands felt drowsy, and the momentum of cheering before the game was loud and loud. In the last 20 minutes of the game, Stamford Bridge almost fell into an incredible silence.

Of course, the fans yelled for more than an hour, and their voices were almost hoarse!

As a result, Manchester United and Chelsea have been shrinking in their own half of the court, and the occasional offense is like a scratch in the boots, which makes people feel unmotivated. Who can stand it?Who can sustain the enthusiasm?
When the full-time whistle ended, neither Mourinho nor Antonio Conte looked at each other and left the field.

"Chelsea missed the chance to reverse Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Antonio Conte's team will defend to the end and never risk attacking if there is no chance to counterattack. Manchester United today is a bit like fighting back. , they are more like Chelsea than Chelsea. At the end of the dreary 90-minute game, Chelsea and Manchester United shook hands with one point each. Manchester United led Chelsea with a goal difference of 3 points. Both teams scored 82 points. The competition for the championship depends on the performance of the two teams in the last five rounds."

Cui Zhen got up after the game to applaud Manchester United's performance.

In terms of scene performance, Manchester United and Chelsea are not worthy of applause.Chelsea did not show enough courage, and Manchester United abandoned their pursuit.

However, after Manchester United was out of the Champions League, their ideals and pursuits seemed too far away. The reality is that they need to retreat at Stamford Bridge in order to maintain their advantage in the league title.

Manchester United did it and that's enough.

He and Lei Tianjiao left Stamford Bridge and returned to Manchester for dinner.

Lei Tianjiao asked for a month's leave, while Cui Zhen didn't want to affect her studies too much, and being able to get a few days of company and spiritual comfort was already a luxury for him.

There is still a game for Manchester United in the middle of the week, the FA Cup semi-final!
In this game, Mourinho dispatched a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

Cui Zhen is still watching from the sidelines. He is already able to play, but his physical condition is still a little dangerous. The fatigue accumulated in a season of fighting in the South and North cannot be recovered simply by resting for a few days.

Lingard and Schneiderlin formed a double midfielder, Martial served as the second striker, and Rooney continued to play.

The FA Cup semi-final is played at the neutral ground at Villa Park.

Lingard has become a little quieter since being out of the Champions League. He has worked harder than usual and seems to have matured a lot.

In the FA Cup semi-final, he showed an all-round level in midfield, performing well both defensively and offensively.

Rooney's appearance in the game today is quite a bit of work, which is what Mourinho requested.

He only needs Rooney to act as a target to attract firepower, and then create opportunities for other teammates.

It can be said that Rooney at the front and Lingard at the backcourt together create opportunities for the three of them.

The Blackburn club made a major mistake in their strategic deployment. They paid too much attention to Rooney's marking, and there was a problem with the center of gravity of the guided defense.

Pogba, Memphis Depay, and Martial each scored a goal to destroy Blackburn. Manchester United's road to the FA Cup this season is very easy.

The result of another semi-final was announced. After the Premier League BIG4 monopolized the League Cup and the league championship this season, the FA Cup has not escaped the clutches of this powerful group.

Manchester United will join Arsenal in the FA Cup final!
