"Friends in front of the TV audience, everyone! Welcome to today's game. I am Morris, and Raman is sitting next to me. This game is the final of the English League Cup this season. Chelsea will face Manchester United at home. The venue for this match is Stamford Bridge."
"The two teams that played against today have performed very well this season. They have fought on four fronts this season, and they have all achieved good results. Now they retain the possibility of competing for the championship on every front, and today's game The game is a head-to-head confrontation between them!"
"In this game, Manchester United is still in the familiar 4-4-2 formation: the goalkeeper is De Gea; the defense is Smalling and Vidic partnering the central defenders, and the left and right sides are Alonso and Rafael; The field is Kanter and Lampard, Mahrez and De Bruyne one left and one right; the striker is a combination of Lewandowski and Griezmann. The seven substitute players are: Alisson, Jones, Ashley Young, Nainggolan, Kroos, Valencia and Icardi."
"As for Chelsea, they have formed the strongest lineup at present. 4-2-3-1 formation, the goalkeeper position is Courtois; the four defenders from left to right are Felipe, Terry, Cahill and Ivanovic; the two defensive midfielders are Fabregas and Matic; the three offensive midfielders are Hazard, Cuadrado and Willian; the center position is the Spaniard Diego Costa The seven substitute players are: Mikel, Schurrle, Zouma, Cech, Oscar, Drogba, Christensen."
"Today, the main players of the two teams are all out, and their strength is strong; and the substitute players on both sides are also strong. This game must be a big battle between sparks and earth!"
"The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!"
"In the first half, Manchester United kicked off first, and they launched a fierce attack towards Chelsea's half from the beginning. Lampard cooperated with De Bruyne in a series of short passes in the midfield. De Bruyne broke through Fabre. Garth!"
"He passed the ball back to Lampard! Lampard's long shot!"
"The ball went off the crossbar! Courtois didn't react! If the ball hit the goal frame, then Chelsea would have conceded the ball and the Blues escaped!"
"This game has just started, and Manchester United's offensive is very fierce. The core of their attack today is still Lampard. The offensive routine just now is a big goal for Manchester United this season. It has been tried and tested. However, Chelsea fans should pay more attention to this routine. Familiar, before this season, Lampard's powerful long-range shots used to be one of their favorite scenes to see. Seeing Lampard performing so well in a Manchester United jersey, I don't know what Chelsea fans feel. "
Before the game started, Kintag was still slightly worried about Lampard. He didn't doubt Lampard's professional attitude, but worried that Lampard couldn't bear to attack Chelsea. But when he saw Lampard's shot just now, all his worries were dispelled.
No matter who the opponent in front of him is, Lampard will definitely be able to crush the opponent! Even if the opponent is Chelsea!
The best Lampard is now at Manchester United! Here I am!
In this game, Chelsea's defense is very solid. They have played Mourinho's defensive football to the extreme this season.
In fact, when Mourinho was in Real Madrid, he was pressured by the club and fans. He used to play a lot more openly, and the team also played beautiful offensive football, but the offensive football did not bring Magic Bird the desired championship. , Although he brought the "Champion League Sixteen" into "the semi-finals every year", but in the confrontation with the powerful Barcelona, his offensive football failed.
After returning to Chelsea, Mourinho re-raised the banner of defensive football and resumed becoming a pragmatist. After the running-in of the lineup in the first season, Chelsea have achieved good results on all fronts since this season. They have played very steadily this season and are currently likely to win championships in various competitions.
And in this game, they are also firmly holding the defense line, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack.
Manchester United's powerful attack suppressed Chelsea for more than 20 minutes,
Still nothing. Manchester United's frontcourt attacking combination is facing Chelsea's intensive defense. There is really no way. Mourinho is a master-level figure on the bus. Today's Chelsea is like an iron wall.
At this time, Jin Taige stood up from his seat, and he knew that he should make some changes. He came to the sidelines, waved at the players on the field, and made a gesture.
The players on the field immediately understood Jin Taige's thoughts.
Before this game, Kintag had already told the players: If the opening game has been unable to start, then the team will try to use personal skills to seek breakthroughs; even if they cannot score goals, it would be good to get more set kicks . After all, there are limited ways to break the dense defense. In addition to long shots and crosses, the use of set kicks is the only way.
Manchester United's left and right wide players all have strong breakthrough capabilities. Mahrez has now become a candidate for the best left winger in the Premier League. In the two seasons he joined Manchester United, he repeatedly got opportunities through sharp breakthroughs, crossing or shooting, which is a typical winger representative; and De Bruyne is even more The representative of the offensive core in the midfield, although his speed is not fast, his dribbling rhythm is very good, and his passing is also world-class; striker Griezmann also frequently withdraws to respond, his dexterous running position and excellent passing and shooting, He has also repeatedly contributed to Manchester United.
Kintag let the players make more use of their personal skills to create opportunities, and Manchester United has become more aggressive in the past ten minutes. Several offensive players created multiple murderous intentions through personal dribbling, which made the defense led by Chelsea captain Terry complain endlessly.
Terry kept telling the back line: "Guys work harder, don't let them easily break into the penalty area!"
In the 32nd minute of the game, Manchester United got a good chance on the left.
Mahrez's continuous change of direction made Ivanovic dare not step forward. He retreated and tried his best to block Mahrez's progress. But Mahrez suddenly made an inward cut, swaying Ivanovic away in an instant, and he slanted into the penalty area diagonally!
At this time, Chelsea's defense suddenly turned pale with fright! Terry rushed up to stop Mahrez from continuing to go in!
But Mahrez did not try to break through Terry. He knew that although Terry was old and his speed was not as good as before, his one-on-one ability and physical fitness were still world-class. Mahrez just made two fake moves in the penalty area, waiting for his teammates to respond. He glanced at the far end with the corner of his eye, then flicked his ankle, the ball was passed diagonally to the back of the penalty area, and a red figure was rushing forward...
