Chapter 780 Although the Time Is Not yet Ripe
Sina Live Studio.
Zhan Jun seemed a little nervous. Since Sun Wu landed in the Premier League, his principle of fairness, fairness and openness has changed.
Even Baidu Encyclopedia has revised: Zhan Jun, fans of Liverpool and Sun Wu...
"Although Sun Wu used non-stop running and passing the ball on the left to create several breakthroughs for his teammates, he was still unable to threaten Courtois."
"Matic's coverage is very wide, and the barrier effect is very obvious." Zhang Lu also frowned, "Oscar has basically given up attacking. Anyway, Chelsea's counterattack basically relies on Fabregas' long pass."
In fact, the most important thing is that under the premise of Chelsea's bus, Manchester United's offensive number is insufficient, so even if a breakthrough is made from the wing, it is difficult for Manchester United players in the penalty area to grab a spot. Judgment on the landing point is very good.
In the first 20 minutes, it is surprising that Manchester United's best performer was Januzaj, Jia Baoyu's breakthrough and Chelsea's defense brought a lot of trouble.
In the 28th minute, Januzaj took the ball again and sent a cross. Sun Wu hit his right elbow back, and then accelerated his pace to receive the ball.
"Beep!" Clattenburg clearly noticed Sun Wu's foul.
After Matic leaned over to set the ball up, he immediately kicked off and passed it to Fabregas without getting up straight.
"Hurry up...Chelsea strikes back!"
The disadvantage of Carrick, who was unable to press forward due to his reduced running ability due to his age, was fully exposed at this moment. Fabregas swung his foot and sent a long pass without defense.
Although Alderweireld and Phil Jones were both in position, Cavani still managed to ferry the ball to the left. Hazard took the ball in two consecutive changes and knocked Coleman down abruptly!
The Blues fans in the stands at Stamford Bridge began to sing, but Mourinho on the sidelines was expressionless. He was not optimistic about this counterattack.
Sure enough, Schneiderlin, who returned to defense at high speed, used his strong body to drive Hazard to the side... In fact, if Hazard fell to the ground, he could get a foul, but the Belgian winger defended the ball tenaciously, and then was driven to encircle him Alderweireld broke the ball out of bounds.
Hazard waved his hand in dissatisfaction, yelled at the back, and made another gesture.
Sun Wu's eyes fell on Felipe Luis, the Brazilian left back cautiously did not go forward,
As a result, Hazard lacked support.
Sitting on the coach's bench, Pochettino licked his lips. He didn't know if the tactical deployment before the game would work, but at least the bait had been released!
"Manchester United's positional battle is difficult to open the gap, and Chelsea's counterattack is also difficult to threaten De Gea." Mortensen yawned boredly, "To be honest, this game will make neutral fans doze off. It has been more than an hour, and neither side has a shot within the range of the goal frame!"
"Oh, Rooney's goal? That really wasn't his active shot!"
"What I see is always Cesc Fabregas' long pass, Cavani fighting for the top, Hazard trying to break through..."
"There is also Januzaj's breakthrough that looks beautiful but is actually useless. Best's wide-range running pass catches the ball but is repeatedly robbed by Oscar and Matic..."
But in the stalemate, Sun Wu, who has been actively active in the middle and left, deliberately did not turn his head to look, but kept carefully observing Felipe's position from the "God's perspective".
There is a saying that most of the outstanding full-backs are wingers. This theory has the highest confirmation rate in Brazilian full-backs. Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Marcelo, Maicon, and Alves have all played. Wing forwards, which allow them to do everything they can on the wing, and can provide a strong boost to the offense.
Felipe Luis is no exception. He joined Real Madrid at the age of 20 and played as a left back in the Real Madrid B team, but before that, he played as a left winger or a left midfielder in Ajax.
The advantages of the Brazilian full-back are obvious. They have strong assisting ability, excellent crossing, good long-range shots, often have excellent free kicks, and have better dribbling ability than ordinary wingers.
But the disadvantages are also obvious. On defense, they often hug the sides and do not have enough protection for the center. This is the characteristic of their position selection due to their winger background.
This is the conclusion Sun Wu and Pochettino have come to after carefully studying all Chelsea's games this season, and Felipe's side can be used.
The right back Azpilicueta will choose a position slightly inside, and the outside will be handed over to Rooney who retreats, and he will check for omissions to fill in the gaps. This is why Januzaj has repeatedly made breakthroughs but can only cross and have no chance to shoot directly.
The left back Felipe's position is slightly outside. On the one hand, it is because of his own position selection characteristics, and on the other hand, because of that side, Manchester United deliberately did not attack at the end since the opening.
In fact, Mourinho has emphasized it in training. At the beginning, Felipe's position was relatively inside, but as the game progressed, the Brazilian's position began to change.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Hazard suppressing Manchester United's wing attack on that side.
But it is precisely because Hazard was unable to get support during the counterattack, Felipe's position was not only slightly on the outside, but also gradually moved forward.
Mourinho on the sidelines also noticed this, but he bit his lip and didn't stop it. If Hazard got a response, Chelsea would have a chance to steal a goal and lead 2-0. Maybe he could beat him for the first time. That Chinese!
In the 38th minute, Chelsea intercepted the ball in the backcourt. Although Sun Wu blocked Fabregas, this time it was Azpilicueta who sent a long pass.
The entangled Cavani and Alderweireld did not take off, the ball flew high above their heads, then bounced and passed over Coleman's head, the high-speed sprinting Hazard successfully stopped the ball .
Sun Wu noticed the change immediately, Oscar remained vigilantly by his side, Rooney accelerated on the right to meet him, and Felipe on the left suddenly accelerated his pace.
"Hazard...Schneiderlin and Coleman have both made up, one over two?"
"Back pass... Felipe came up, oh, direct diagonal pass!"
Although Felipe went forward, he cautiously kept the ball and sent a diagonal pass. Rooney, who has been hitting at high speed, appeared in the back point.
"Dangerous!" Zhan Jun shouted: "Rooney... De Gea has made a contribution!"
Knowing that Rojo behind him has followed, Rooney chose to shoot from a small angle without stopping the ball. De Gea stretched out his leg again and touched the ball. The ball barely touched the far post and rolled out of the baseline.
Mourinho on the sidelines was so angry that he smashed the water bottle in his hand on the ground, which made his face wet...
As long as the cross is passed, Cavani in the middle has already got stuck!
Sun Wu grinned. Facts have proved that his deliberate provocation before the game still had an effect!
Turning his head and glanced at Felipe who sent an exquisite oblique pass and then walked back, Sun Wu felt a little bit emotional, this guy is really cautious, he really has two brushes!
Although Felipe's positioning is a bit problematic, he is very good at choosing the timing of the front-running response, and he is not greedy for merit. He walks back as soon as the pass is over to prevent the gap behind him from being used.
Sun Wu, who has been waiting for the opportunity, feels that he is a bit too demanding for perfection.
Therefore, although the time is not yet ripe, Sun Wu knows that he should make some moves, seeing that there is not much time left in the first half.
