Chapter 179, Between Victory and Defeat
About 60 minutes into the second half of the game, Manchester United's offensive gradually picked up. With the benefit of Kintag, De Bruyne's position completely overwhelmed the midfielder and cooperated with the three technical players in the frontcourt. With the addition of De Bruyne, Mahrez, Martial, and Salah are even more powerful.
In the 68th minute of the game, a pass from Chelsea was cleared by a header from Van Dijk, which fell right at the feet of Valencia. When it came to Van Dijk's header, a very precise mid-air ball passed to De Bruyne in the middle.
At this time, Ramirez rushed up and blocked De Bruyne's ball route. At this time, De Bruyne looked up and saw that several frontcourt players were accelerating forward from the midfield. It is not a good time to pass the ball. opportunity. So De Bruyne made a passing motion, pretending to pass the ball to Mahrez on the left.
When Ramirez saw it, he hurriedly stretched out his foot to block it, but he fell into De Bruyne's trick. De Bruyne pretended to pass the ball to the left with his right foot, but the sole of his foot just slid over the ball, and then the center of gravity of his body suddenly turned to the right, and he swiped the ball to the right with the right outer instep, and immediately passed Ramirez!
"This is a beautiful move! De Bruyne's movement is like playing the violin!"
"De Bruyne passed Ramires, and there was an open field in front of him!"
"Now Van Persie is still at the top, Mahrez and Martial are also rushing forward, but they are surrounded by Chelsea defenders, and De Bruyne has no good options to play the ball."
"Chelsea left-back Azpilicueta came up, he didn't have Manchester United's offensive players on his side, and now he is the only one who can step up and stop De Bruyne from going forward."
"De Bruyne paused, he passed the ball behind Azpilicueta. But there are no Manchester United attacking players behind him?"
"Wait, there's a player on the right going forward at high speed! It's Salah!"
"He helped Valencia defend on the right just now. When Valencia passed the ball to De Bruyne, Salah was running forward desperately! He seemed to know that De Bruyne would pass the ball to De Bruyne. right!"
"Azpilicueta stretched out his foot to block, he didn't block De Bruyne's pass!"
"Salah cuts in at high speed from the wing and dribbles straight into the penalty area."
"Three hits two in the penalty area! Terry and Cahill are very afraid of Van Persie and Martial around them, and dare not step forward easily!"
"Goalkeeper Petr Cech strikes,
Go to Salah! Salah buckled to the side! Passed Cech! "
"Small angle goal! The ball went in!!!"
"Salah scored Manchester United's second goal of the game and Manchester United are leading 2-1 away!"
At this time, the away fans who came with the team suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. At Stamford Bridge, where the number is not dominant, their voices still trembled the entire stadium.
Scholes and Phelan embraced and cheered loudly.
The staff of the Manchester United club also rushed to the sidelines excitedly to celebrate the goal.
At this time, Jin Taige waved his fists and looked up at the sky, as if he saw the team taking three points from Stamford Bridge!
Mourinho's face was livid on the sidelines. He didn't expect Manchester United to advance so fast. In such a short time, they overtook the score. He looked at the bench: "Torres, you are ready to play!"
Although he scored an overtake goal, Kintag still calmly reminded the players on the field to keep calm and pay attention to the defensive formation.
The game continued, Torres came on and replaced the midfielder Ramirez, and Chelsea's formation became 4132.
Now that the time has come to 70 minutes, both teams have used two substitutions respectively, and the situation of both sides has changed again. At the beginning of the game, Manchester United defended and Chelsea attacked. Just now Manchester United started to attack gradually, but now the two teams have changed their appearance again, and the two teams began to fight each other on the court. Needless to say, Chelsea are one goal behind and have no choice but to continue to attack. On the Manchester United side, Kintag told the players on the field not to retreat and continue to attack! If they retreat at this time, Chelsea is likely to equalize or even overtake in one go, and it will be difficult to score goals by then. So taking advantage of the current Manchester United offensive, seize the opportunity to score another goal, and the game will be stable.
In the 78th minute of the game, Mata dribbled through the frontcourt continuously. At this time, Jones, who came up from the defense, shoveled him to the ground. The referee stopped the game and gave Jones a yellow card. Chelsea got a set piece in the frontcourt.
The ball is about 35 meters away from Manchester United's goal and can be passed or shot. Chelsea's two free-kick masters Hazard and Luiz both stood in front of the ball.
Attacking players headed by Eto'o and Torres all rushed into Manchester United's penalty area, waiting for a header.
Ferdinand commanded the players in the back line, paying attention to marking the Chelsea players to prevent them from getting headers from the back row.
The Manchester United players on the field thought that Hazard would throw the ball into the penalty area, but unexpectedly, Hazard just stepped on the ball lightly, and Luiz next to him ran up a few steps, and then kicked the elevator ball very simply. , The ball went straight to the corner!
De Gea fought hard to save, but the ball was too fast, and he still couldn't touch the ball.
"Look at this free kick! It's David Luiz's shot! Goal!"
"2 to 2! Chelsea equalized the score! They scored a goal tenaciously amidst the cheers of the home fans!"
The home fans cheered and celebrated wildly again. They shouted the names of each player loudly, looking forward to scoring another goal in the last ten minutes, scoring three points, and returning to the second place in the standings!
Mourinho on the sidelines was also infected by the atmosphere of the fans. He shouted to the players: "Keep attacking! Win the game!"
But Jin Taige next to him didn't show any expression, even if Ferran stomped his feet in annoyance, he remained indifferent.
Jin Taige knew in his heart: the loss of the ball was really accidental, not the problem of his players on the field, so as long as the players continued to attack, the victory of this game must still belong to Manchester United!
At this time, the Manchester United players on the field all looked at Kim Taige on the sidelines. They wanted to see what tactical arrangements Kim Taige had, but what they saw was a head coach standing on the sidelines like a pine tree. , He didn't have any expression, he didn't express his annoyance at losing the ball, and he didn't give any instructions for the next step.
But all the Manchester United players understood what Jin Taige meant and continued to attack!
When we were leading by one goal just now, the boss asked us to attack with all our strength, but now that the score has been tied, of course we have to continue to attack!
At this time, all Manchester United players on the field were unwavering.
Take Chelsea! Go home with three points!
