On the training ground just now, Lampard saw Carrick. The two are teammates of the national team, so they had a friendly chat.
The last time they played against each other in the league, both of them were starters, and they all sat on the bench in this game.
Carrick moved his wrist and said, "I'm a few years older. I'm really not as good as before. I sprained my wrist during training a few days ago, and it still hurts a little. I have to play as a substitute today."
Lampard asked with concern: "Is there any serious problem?"
"The team doctor looked at it and said it's all right. It will be fine after a few days. How about you, Frank, why didn't you start? Are you also injured?"
Hearing this, Lampard was a little embarrassed: "I was not injured, I was only a substitute because of tactical needs."
Carrick understood in his heart. He also heard about Lampard's recent situation, so he couldn't say anything else.
Lampard thought about the conversation with Carrick just now, and he felt a little sour in his heart.
As a veteran midfielder, Carrick has won the trust and respect of the head coach, and at Manchester United, Vidic and Ferdinand have also received due respect. On the other hand, several veterans in the Chelsea team, they themselves were defeated by Jose Mourinho. Ao Xuezang, Ashley Cole, Torres, and Essien were all sidelined.
When I think about it, it is really embarrassing.
At the same time, in the dressing room of the visiting team, the Manchester United soldiers laughed again and again.
Kintag waved his fists: "Guys, today's game is very special. In the first half, Chelsea almost took away three points at Old Trafford. We played very thrilling in that game. I still I remember that it was Kevin who passed the ball at that time. The pass was so exquisite, but luckily Hazard hit the post. Today I am relieved because I have poached the best player from Chelsea in the last game. "
The players roared with laughter, and De Bruyne scratched his head embarrassingly.
Jin Taige smiled and said to De Bruyne: "Kevin, how about we make a bet? I have a hunch today that you will not only have wonderful assists, but also score a goal. Whoever loses will please How about going to eat French food?"
"Take a bet!"
Salah and Rafael said it at the same time. After half a month, the pistachios in the two teams became good friends. Hearing what Kim Tag said, Salah said excitedly: "Kay Wen, you have to bet with the boss."

Raphael also catered and said: "Yes, anyway, no matter who wins, we can all eat French food."
"That's right, hahaha."
The players immediately became excited.
De Bruyne saw Kintag looking at him expectantly, and he nodded: "Okay boss, I will bet with you, I hope you can win the bet."
"It's great! We will definitely create assists and scoring opportunities for you!" Rafael said happily.
The other players also looked at De Bruyne with a smile.
After making a few jokes, Jin Taige also took the time to arrange tactics.
"We need to be steady at the beginning of this game. Chelsea has been very strong recently. They are likely to take advantage of the home court advantage and attack at the beginning. If we can stabilize the opening ten minutes, then Chelsea will definitely return to defensive and counterattack. At that time, we will still go two wide, using speed and explosive power to break through Chelsea's defense. Their frontcourt combination today is very impactful. Hazard, Willian and Oscar are young and impactful players. With Eto'o up front, Chelsea's attacking combination is not to be underestimated."
"On the field today, you should pay attention to Luiz's point. He likes to step up and assist. Once he goes up, there will be holes in Chelsea's defense. At that time, you will hit the point behind him. Mahrez, Martial, You all have speed and although Terry has a lot of experience, he is old and his slow turn is his weakness, you can make good use of it."
"The last sentence, we must return with three points,
Continue to put pressure on Manchester City at the top of the list and march towards the Triple Crown! "
Encouraged by Kintag, the morale of the Manchester United players was high. They clenched their fists, with firm eyes shining in their eyes, eagerly looking forward to the start of the game.
After a 15-minute break, players from the two teams walked onto the court. Outside the player tunnel, Kinteg and Mourinho shook hands.
Mourinho said meaningfully: "Tiger, I didn't expect you to let De Bruyne start. I have more confidence in this game."
Jin Taige smiled slightly: "Jose, Kevin will definitely surprise you today."
"Hopefully the surprise is three points."
"Then you will only be disappointed."

"Viewers, this is Sky TV, and I'm your friend Morris. Now I'm broadcasting for you a game in the twenty-second round of the Premier League. Manchester United will play away against Chelsea. The game is about to start. This game is this round The focus of the Premier League game is a lot to watch.”
"Let's take a look at the current position of the top four in the Premier League standings: Manchester City is at the top of the list with 51 points, Manchester United is second with 44 points, Chelsea is close behind with 43 points, and Arsenal is starting to fall behind with 38 points. Therefore For the most part, this game has decisive significance for today's two teams. If Manchester United wins the game, they will continue to maintain a threat to Manchester City at the top of the list. If Chelsea wins, they will surpass Manchester United and become the league leader. Second place, there is still hope to win the championship. Therefore, in this game, the two teams will definitely fight to the death."
"Another highlight of this game is Manchester United's new winter aid De Bruyne. He moved from Chelsea to Manchester United after the winter transfer window opened. This game is his first time facing his old club. During Chelsea's half of the season, he played a total of 5 times and only started once, which was the game against Manchester United at the beginning of the league. After that, he was sidelined by Mourinho and even entered the substitute list. Not much. But I didn’t expect that as soon as the winter transfer window opened, he would join the giants Manchester United and become a favorite under Kim Tage. It is said that Carrick was slightly injured in this game, so Kim Tage sent De Bruyne started the game. I don’t know if De Bruyne will usher in the abyss or redemption in this game against the old owner? Let us wait and see.”
Although the atmosphere in the stadium is very enthusiastic, Kim Tago is very steady. He is sitting on the coach's bench at the moment, chatting with the two assistant coaches beside him.
Scholes said curiously: "Captain, I find that you like to bet with people more and more now."
Ferran was very happy: "It doesn't matter whether we win or lose, anyway, we are sure to have a French meal."
Kim Tag smiled and asked the two: "Do you know why I made this bet?" (Successor of the Red Devils)
