Chapter 177, Gains and Losses

Oscar turned around to protect the ball and passed the ball to Hazard behind him on the left.

When the ball was passed to Hazard, Kanter also rushed from the side, but he did not come towards Hazard, but ran towards Hazard's forward route. He intended to block Hazard's line of attack.

And Hazard looked at the direction and strength of the ball passing, and then at De Gea's position, and he made a decisive decision.

"William made a quick change of direction and passed Evra. This is a good opportunity for Chelsea!"

"What will Oscar do with the ball received near the penalty spot?"

"He passed the ball back to Hazard and Kante went up!"

"Hazard took a long shot! The goal is in!!!"

"1 to 1, Chelsea equalized before the end of the first half!"

There was a deafening cheer from the whole of Stamford Bridge, the whole audience was ignited by this goal, and there was nothing more exciting for Blues fans than to equalize at the end of the first half. The Chelsea fans present were ecstatic, they shouted their team's name and Hazard's name loudly. Chelsea fans in blue jerseys cheered in the stands, like a huge wave and spray, flooding the entire Stamford Bridge stadium.

After scoring the goal, Hazard yelled and rushed to the corner flagpole, and made a wonderful slide in front of the fans of the home team, his stern face looked full of domineering. Teammates rushed up to hug Hazard, shouting and shaking their fists, celebrating the goal together.

At this time, Raman was still praising the goal in the studio: "When Hazard received the ball just now, Kanter had already run towards him quickly. He didn't have any time and opportunity to go into the penalty area. If there was a slight pause , then this great offensive opportunity was wasted. At the moment of receiving the ball, Hazard looked up at De Gea's position in front of him, Ferdinand happened to be in front of the two of them, so he decisively kicked Shot. The ball made a beautiful arc in the air and hit the far corner of the goal, and De Gea barely reacted because he was blocked from view. It was a beautiful goal!"

At this time, the Chelsea coaching bench was full of joy, and the home team staff was also very excited. But Mourinho on the sidelines didn't react. He just smiled and said to the assistant coach beside him: "This is just Hazard's normal level. He just equalized the score now. The good show is still going on." behind."

Everyone in Kintag was also very helpless when they saw this goal. This goal was beautifully scored, which is completely a manifestation of Hazard's personal ability. From observing the situation on the field before receiving the ball, to decisive and precise shots, Hazard is almost impeccable.

Kintag thought to himself: Hazard deserves to be called "the third person after the Melo era" by many people in later generations.

The strength is really outstanding, he is in excellent form today, it seems that this game is much more difficult than imagined.

Not long after Chelsea equalized, the first half was over. In the first half, the players on both sides fought very hard, so the physical exertion was serious. The head coaches of both sides made substitution adjustments during the intermission.

In the home team dressing room, Mourinho told everyone that he was going to make some substitution adjustments in the second half.

At this time, several veterans sitting on the bench looked at Mourinho expectantly, especially Lampard.

But Mourinho is not going to replace Lampard, he still trusts young people more. He made Mata ready to play in the second half. Mata will replace Oscar, who is physically exhausted, and continue to strengthen the offensive ability of the frontcourt combination.

Lampard didn't speak, his eyes were full of disappointment.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintiger said to Evra: "You played well in the first half, let's rest in the second half."

This is Jin Taige's speaking habit. He seldom reprimands his players. Even if the players perform poorly, he will comfort him by saying "the performance was good in the first half". It is the head coach who is not satisfied with his performance.

The goal that Manchester United conceded in the first half was William breaking through Evra from the right. Evra bears a lot of responsibility for that conceded goal.

Jin Taige looked at his bench. According to common sense, he would usually replace Alonso, but not today. Alonso's offense is strong and his defense is weak. Even if he plays, it will not help the team's defense much. Therefore, Kintag replaced Phil Jones and asked him to play as a left back. Phil Jones can play any position on the defense line except the goalkeeper, so Kintag is very relieved of him.

Jin Taige also specially instructed: "Pay attention to defensive actions, try not to take cards."

Jones nodded.

Then Kintag asked Raphael again: "How do you feel?"

Before the game, Raphael had some slight vomiting and discomfort, but he said that he could persist, so Kim Tag let him continue to start.

But now when Jin Taige asked, Raphael shook his head: "I still feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach."

Kintag thought for a while: "You should also rest in the second half. Salah, you replace Rafael in the second half and play the right winger position in Valencia. You withdraw to play the right back."

Valencia nodded very calmly, but Salah was very excited. He patted De Bruyne's shoulder next to him: "Brother, remember to pass the ball to me in the second half."

"Yeah." De Bruyne nodded honestly.

Salah asked again: "Just like when we were training, give more advance, don't worry that I can't catch up with the ball."

"Okay." De Bruyne looked at the excited Salah with a smile on his face.

I will definitely give you a comfortable pass in the second half, just like the feeling we had during training.

The second half of the game has begun.

But just five minutes into the game, Rahman was a little surprised and said: "Although the two teams have made substitutions and adjustments, the rhythm of the two teams is exactly the same as at the beginning of the first half. I even wondered if I traveled back to an hour ago?"

And Morris is full of expectations: "Maybe Manchester United can be like the first half in the second half. Although they seem to be at a disadvantage on the scene, they opened the scoring with a quick counterattack. Let us wait and see how the two teams will play in the second half."
