Soccer Super Marksman

Matic wanted to have an eye-catching performance. He started to dribble frequently, and then was surrounded by Chelsea midfielders Alonso and Kanter's defense to teach him to be a man again.

Cui Zhen understands Rooney's complaints in the past few years. When he started to look at the overall situation and pay attention to the changes of the team, instead of blindly caring about his own progress and strength, he felt very uncomfortable. !

At the beginning of each season, it is necessary to run in with new players to tolerate the "willfulness" of these players.

The reason why Pogba and Cui Zhen are young and mature is because they are team players. While working hard on the court, they always put the interests of the team first.

As for some new players, it cannot be said that they are selfish, but they are newcomers, have a stronger desire to perform, and hope to usurp the main position, so they pay more attention to their own performance. This is understandable, but for some teammates, it is either uncomfortable. , Choose to be tolerant and endure, or it is unbearable, and finally there is a decisive outbreak.

When Matic, Martial and Fellaini start, Cui Zhen will feel completely different from Herrera, Rooney and Mkhitaryan when they are on the court. They seem to be playing different football!
In the 16th minute of the game, Cui Zhen made a diagonal pass from the side to create opportunities for Fellaini. Fellaini had at least three options: cross to find Martial, pass back to Pogba in an inverted triangle in the middle, or break through the opponent's defender Lu Dig!

The best choice here is to pass it to Pogba. In this way, Cui Zhen, who is surrounded by Fabregas, Kanter and Bakayoko, has a little more space in the middle, at least Pogba If he goes forward, it will attract Fabregas' attention, and Fabregas will have to block Pogba. If Cui Zhen moves again, the attack in the middle will be a different situation.

It is not wise to find Martial in the cross. Martial wants to get rid of Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill in a small space and find a shot. It is difficult, but it does not mean that it is impossible.

The worst option is to break through defender Rudiger.

First of all, it is difficult to break through, and secondly, what happens after the breakthrough?Returning to the previous option, cross or return the inverted triangle. After all, Fellaini’s style of play is different from those of Morata and Hazard. Then even if he breaks through successfully, Chelsea’s defense will shrink. Less space.In the case of the same choice, the effect will be worse.

Fellaini chose to break through by himself, and he failed to break through at all. Defender Rudiger didn't go up and waited for Bakayoko to help defend when he retreated. Counting the sidelines, surrounded by three sides, Fellaini was thinking Looking back at the other passing options, the ball was poked away by defender Rudiger, then Bakayoko launched a counter-attack and Fabregas started to move forward.After Hazard responded from the side, he turned directly to the center and dribbled inward quickly.

Chelsea's counter-attacking was more adept than last season, when there was a lot of space.The crazy winger can cut inside with clarity and choose the right time to pass the ball.

After Hazard cut inside, the ball was passed to striker Morata who cut inside on the other side.

Morata dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area. Mata didn't dare to rush. Morata's pace was very fast. Maybe his kick became a foul. When Pogba came back to defend Mata, Morata suddenly flicked his ankle and put the ball straight into the penalty area.

The football that rolled past Bayi and Phil Jones was caught by Cesc Fabregas who went forward, and Pogba suddenly realized at this time: It's a leak!

Cesc Fabregas's running position is very decisive. With Diego Costa and winger Hazard as containment or cover, and there is no midfielder to block or interfere with him, he easily cuts into the penalty area, and then calmly pushes the ball. Ball sent - into the far corner of the goal.

Cui Zhen was very helpless, and then pointed to Pogba towards Fellaini, indicating that he should pass the ball to his teammates decisively, instead of making a breakthrough by himself!

Although Matic also failed a breakthrough and was hit back, Matic is new after all.

You can use his ignorance of Manchester United as an excuse, but Fellaini, who came to the team earlier than Cui Zhen, doesn't know what kind of team Chelsea is?

Losing the ball in the frontcourt is very dangerous!It can be said that in the game against Chelsea, one must be patient. What is pursued is not the number of attacks, or even the number of threats, but the quality of attacks!

You can't make mistakes in this kind of game, even if it's a mistake in the frontcourt that doesn't seem to bring any danger, it's actually not allowed!

Every attack either forms a shot or kicks the ball into the stands. In short, Chelsea cannot launch a counterattack storm in a flowing game. In that case, the more attacks, the lower the quality of the attack. More offensive opportunities, and what the hell is a good opportunity!

Fellaini kept his head down and did not speak. Maybe Cui Zhen did not understand his situation. In the one and a half years since he came to Manchester United, he has never been recognized by the head coach Mourinho!
Even though Mourinho has been defending and encouraging him in front of the media, he is still on the way to prove himself after all.

In the first half, Manchester United's offense was a mess. Cui Zhen was attacked from both sides. On the one hand, he was blocked by Chelsea's powerful midfield three. !This is the gap between top players and top players!

When Rooney was able to retreat in a wide range to free Cui Zhen through personal dribbling to break through the opponent's defense, Martial just stayed on the front line and waited for his teammates to feed him the ball.

When Mkhitaryan can participate in the defense or actively cooperate with the center, Fellaini still pays attention to his meaningless side breakthroughs and bottom crosses in this game.

When Herrera was able to cut into the middle and change positions with Cui Zhen actively to play the offensive and confusing effect of changing positions, Matic seemed to be unable to stand firmly on the side.

Even though Pogba intends to step forward to share the pressure for Cui Zhen and open up the unfavorable situation in the midfield, he himself is under tremendous pressure.

He's not Rooney, he doesn't have the domineering power of a man in defense.

If Chelsea's counterattack is just a traditional counterattack flow, that's fine, but Chelsea's wingers are all in-cut, which makes Mata a defensive line for side interception, so Pogba marks Fabregas' back Insertion is extremely critical, and Cesc Fabregas, who is already approaching a world-class star like Cui Zhen, will inevitably make Pogba use all his strength to mark.

If Cui Zhen has the space for Chelsea to attack and faces the same resistance, he is confident that he can completely blow Pogba, or he will not have a one-on-one chance at all, because the smart and decisive movement and timing can make him Pogba lost the opportunity to defend.

United conceded their second goal before the end of the first half, when striker Morata blasted Valencia out wide, then crossed inside the penalty area, cut inside and slammed the ball into the post, Hazard I outflank the ball and send the ball to the point behind the goal.

At the end of the first half, Cui Zhen walked up to Martial and communicated with him in a low voice.

Antonio Conte is firmly on the path he is pursuing. This year's Chelsea has no major player loss, their overall strength is stronger, and it is rumored that Chelsea is still trying to strengthen the midfield.

Manchester United's situation cannot be said to be quite the opposite, but at least the main attack group composed of substitutes and new aids performed poorly in the first half of this game, and the incidental consequence was that the defense was almost collapsed.

The reason is simple. Rooney, Herrera, and Mkhitaryan will not easily lose the ball to Chelsea to counterattack, and Chelsea counterattacked more, and the number of successes naturally increased over the same period, let alone With Rooney gone, Martial's new defense was weakened.

It's not easy for Cui Zhen to blame his teammates. He came to Martial and just told Martial a fact.

"If we want to beat Chelsea in a positional battle, this game is basically impossible."

Martial couldn't help but nodded when he heard Cui Zhen's words.

Manchester United's offense advanced to the dangerous zone of Chelsea, and the offensive formation was immediately cut by the opponent. The connection between the players became weak. If there is no super tacit understanding, it is difficult to play effective offensive cooperation, so positional warfare wants to fight. It is almost impossible to penetrate Chelsea's defense.

"Now the only environment we need to be able to play an offensive is: to play Chelsea's counterattack! Do you understand what I mean?" Martial nodded after pondering for a moment.

Positional warfare is cleaner and neater, since you don't have expectations, then simply give up.Focus on defense.Waiting for Chelsea's counterattack to come.Then after blocking with all his strength, he suddenly launched a counterattack!
Mourinho criticized the team's offensive performance after walking into the locker room, but he did not criticize Cui Zhen.

Cui Zhen was inconspicuous in the first half. Most of his passes were formulaic. His pass success rate exceeded 90%. Most of the missed passes were threatening passes, and no teammates could catch them.Of course, if the main player is replaced, maybe half of them will succeed.

Martial does not retreat, Pogba is getting more and more backward due to defensive pressure, Cui Zhen is like an outcast in the midfield area, facing Chelsea's three tough midfielders alone, what can he do?

It is irresponsible to pass a threatening ball without teammates to respond.

Mourinho could understand Cui Zhen's situation, so he didn't say a word of seriousness to him.

Matic, Fellaini, and Martial were taught a lesson by Mourinho.Mourinho repeatedly emphasized the team's offensive unity and cooperation, as well as actively involving running, and then encouraged the team to strive for improvement in the second half.

No one cares about the result of this game, but what everyone cares about is the process!

It is no exaggeration to say that with Manchester United's performance in the first half, once they meet Chelsea in the league or cup, they have to kneel once!
In the second half, when they returned to the field, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Cui Zhen simply retreated to the central midfield area and took the initiative to participate in the defense.

Anyway, he could see it. In this game, he either has the ability to go forward and abuse Chelsea in one go, or he can't rush forward in vain, and won't get effective support from his teammates at all.

Chelsea is still patiently counterattacking. In the 57th minute of the game, Chelsea once again had a counterattack storm. Morata sprinted forward on the right. He crossed the middle in front of Valencia. Mata went to block and Morata The tower took a step back, bypassing Mata, and attracted Pogba's replacement when he was about to shoot from a long distance, and then Morata passed the ball to Fabregas who inserted in the back.

As soon as Cesc Fabregas took the ball forward, Cui Zhen stepped down decisively to intercept the ball, Fabregas hurriedly protected the ball, Cui Zhen and him got into an entanglement, the two fought physically and neither retreated, finally Cui Zhen At the cost of losing his body balance, he poked the ball away from Fabregas' feet.

However, the stabbed football still rolled to the feet of striker Morata. At this time, Morata directly hoisted the ball into the penalty area. The Manchester United back line, who thought they had successfully defended, was moving forward. Unexpectedly, Chelsea's offense hit again. Come in, and so directly!

Diego Costa, who was always waiting for an opportunity, succeeded in anti-offside, grabbed the ball with a header before goalkeeper De Gea, and he pushed the football into the lower right corner of the goal.

De Gea is going crazy!He yelled at every player of Manchester United in a gaffe, this kind of defense is simply horrible!
