Chapter 791 Pentakill

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea took advantage of their first kick-off and launched an attack on Manchester United, and continued to exert pressure and took the initiative on the field.

Mourinho curled his lips. I really didn't see that Lampard was not satisfied with the 1:0 lead and wanted to score a goal. How much he looked down on his master.

Yes, although Manchester United was one man short, Mourinho still had confidence in his team. Manchester United with ten people was not something Chelsea could underestimate.

Chelsea's offensive routine was very simple. They frequently used the side to cross the ball to find the middle. Chelsea's French center Giroud is 1.93 meters tall and has the strongest header ability in the world. Although he is 33 years old, he is still a well-known air tyrant in the world of football today.

However, Mourinho is not worried about the team's air defense. Manchester United's two central defenders Van Dijk and Maguire are both tall and have excellent header ability.

In addition, Dutch defender Luke Shaw is also good at heading, so although Chelsea's high ball from the wing was very lively, it did not really threaten Manchester United's goal.

"If it were me, I would focus on the middle." Mourinho said to his assistant Faria, "We only have Kante in the middle, this may be a breakthrough."

Faria thought: "Why doesn't Frank do this?"

As Mourinho's assistant for many years, Faria is also very familiar with Lampard and is a little puzzled.

"This is the difference between an ordinary coach and a genius coach." Mourinho smiled and said, "Ordinary coaches will only use the fixed tactics they have formulated for the team to conquer the world, and will not formulate better plans on the spot."

Faria ignored a shameless guy and asked, "What if Chelsea really does this?"

Mourinho said proudly: "Don't worry, we have Kante."

………………

Jorginho tried to pass the ball directly to William, but his passing intention was predicted by Kante, and the pass was cut off by Kante, and Manchester United took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!

Kante passed the ball to Bruno, who did not choose to dribble the ball himself, but made a long pass forward!

In the frontcourt, Harry Kane held off Chelsea defender Azpilicueta, and he jumped high to head the ball, and the ball flew diagonally behind.

There, Rashford was rushing in at high speed!

Chelsea was thinking about scoring another goal, and they pressed very high. At this time, the entire Chelsea backcourt only had central defenders Zouma and Rudiger.

Chelsea goalkeeper Caballero was so angry that he jumped and shouted for help.

When Chelsea pressed just now, he didn't feel it, but now he reacted and panicked: Why is our backcourt so empty?

"I'll go." Zouma came up and signaled Rudiger to stay behind as the last line of defense.

Zouma decisively chose a tactical foul. Anyway, there was Rudiger behind him, and at most he would get a yellow card, not a red card.

Facing Rashford's breakthrough, Zouma chose to slide, but the French defender underestimated Rashford's dexterity and skills. Before Zouma's sliding tackle touched the football, the ball was poked away by Rashford, and then the young Manchester United star jumped lightly and avoided Zouma's flying tackle.

"Beautiful!"

"Breakthrough!"

Rashford drove straight into the penalty area with the ball. Harry Kane was running and raised his arm to signal Rashford that he could pass the ball.

Rashford, who had already entered the penalty area with the ball, looked at the situation in the penalty area and chose to sweep the ball out.

………………

"Manchester United's counterattack... Rashford is very fast! Beautiful, Zouma was broken through - Rashford, he passed the ball! Harry Kane, shoot! Saved it... Make up shot!!" Andy Gray spoke very fast, like a machine gun, and the audience's hearts were lifted.

Harry Kane held Rudiger and poked the ball in front of the goal, but Chelsea goalkeeper Caballero made a beautiful save. He stretched his legs to block it and the ball bounced up.

Before the Chelsea players cleared the ball, Mbappe rushed up smartly and shoveled the ball into the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

On the side of the court, the players on the Manchester United bench cheered, and Mourinho also clapped hard. His tactics were correct.

Lampard's face was not very good. He was still thinking about expanding the score and trying to beat Manchester United by a large score, but he didn't expect that Manchester United would equalize the score now.

Thinking of Manchester United's sharp counterattack, Lampard was also very worried.

At this time, he finally sobered up. He realized that even if one person was sent off early, Manchester United was still not something Chelsea could eat in one bite. This is the Premier League overlord.

Lampard decisively decided to be timid. The score of 1:1 is also good. If this score is maintained, the game will enter overtime, or even a penalty shootout.

At present, Manchester United and Liverpool are competing fiercely for the league championship. Lampard believes that if overtime really comes, the situation will be inclined to Chelsea.

………………

With Lampard's order, Chelsea began to shrink their defense.

Manchester United became more and more courageous and began to frequently attack Chelsea's goal. Their offensive started.

After a long period of attack, Mourinho chose to give it a try. He replaced Cancelo with Mata, and Manchester United changed its formation to 333 and continued to put pressure.

This substitution and gambling-style attack paid off. In the 86th minute of the game, Manchester United got a chance for a set-piece in the frontcourt. Bruno took the free kick and drove it into the penalty area. Harry Kane headed the ball and the ball bounced off his back. Chelsea defender Azpilicueta did not clear the ball completely, so Mata rushed up and kicked it. The ball suddenly jumped up and swept into the net from above the goalkeeper's left hand.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"2:1! 2:1! Juan Mata! Juan Mata! This former Chelsea player helped his new club reverse the old club!"

"Interestingly, it was Mourinho, the head coach of Manchester United, who sold Mata to Manchester United. Now Mourinho is taking Mata with him and may be able to complete a five-kill against Chelsea in one season!"

"Mourinho's substitutions and adjustments have a miraculous effect. Mata scored and Manchester United overtook the score. This is really unexpected. Manchester United was one man short for nearly 80 minutes, but now they have overtaken the score!"

On the sidelines, Mourinho raised his fists to the sky. Behind him, the people in the coaching and substitutes' benches rushed out, waving their fists and cheering.

………………

The next day, The Guardian published a photo of Manchester United coach Mourinho raising his fists to the sky in celebration, with the background of the photo showing the excited Manchester United players running past him...

"Nothing can stop them from moving forward!"

The Guardian highly praised this victory. With the goals of Mbappe and Mata, Manchester United reversed the game 2:1 and won the game despite being one man short for more than 80 minutes of the game, and entered the FA Cup final for five consecutive years.

At the same time, this is also the fifth time Manchester United has defeated Chelsea this season. They have achieved a five-kill against Chelsea, the former Manchester United nemesis, in four events: the Premier League, the FA Cup, the League Cup and the European Super Cup!

Although this game was very difficult to win, it is precisely because they were able to win the game under such difficult circumstances that the Manchester United media and fans can proudly say: Nothing can stop Manchester United from moving forward!

However, the Guardian's bold words were soon slapped in the face by reality: in the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester United did not win West Ham United at home!

………………

On the afternoon of July 22, a focus match of the 37th round of the Premier League was held at the Millennium Stadium.

Since this match was less than 70 hours away from the FA Cup semi-finals, and the Premier League has maintained a high intensity of two matches a week since the resumption of the game, Mourinho had to rotate Manchester United's lineup in this game, but Bruno continued to start.

Manchester United launched an active offensive after the opening. Although winning this game does not ensure that Manchester United will win the league championship in advance, the Red Devils still hope to keep the 3 points at home. In that case, unless Manchester United loses more than a dozen goals in the last round at the King Power Stadium, they can win the championship smoothly.

Moreover, in everyone's opinion, West Ham United, which is deeply trapped in the relegation zone, cannot stop Manchester United's progress!

In the 3rd minute of the game, Bruno passed the ball, and Mahrez's shot from the right side of the penalty area was saved by Fabianski, and then Greenwood's supplementary shot in the penalty area was also saved.

Five minutes later, Manchester United's offensive came back. Bruno and Mata passed the ball, and Mahrez shot from 25 yards away.

Then Mahrez passed the ball, and Bruno's shot in front of the penalty area also missed.

Until the first half of the game entered the injury time, although Manchester United had a steady control of the situation, they had not been able to take the lead.

During the injury time, Noble took a free kick, Rice fired a heavy shot at the door, hitting McTominay's arm. The referee on duty awarded a penalty kick, Antonio deceived De Gea and scored, and Manchester United fell behind 0:1 at home.

Although Manchester United scored a goal by Greenwood 6 minutes after the start of the second half to equalize the score, facing West Ham United, who set up an iron bucket formation and vowed to get 1 point away from home to complete the relegation cause, the Manchester United attack group led by Bruno was at a loss.

In the end, Manchester United drew 1:1 with West Ham United at home, and the Hammers got 1 point as they wished and successfully relegated one round ahead of schedule. And Manchester United's desire to continue to maintain 3 points before the final round was shattered.

Manchester United's failure at home gave Liverpool great motivation. Two hours later, they defeated Chelsea 5:3 in a strong match at Anfield, narrowing the gap with Manchester United to 1 point.

The suspense of the Premier League championship competition was kept until the last round!

In the last round, both Manchester United and Liverpool will play away games. Manchester United will play away at the King Power Stadium to challenge Leicester City, which has performed well this season and is currently ranked fifth in the standings and still has the hope of competing for a Champions League spot. Liverpool will play away at St. James' Park to challenge Newcastle, which is ranked 13th in the standings and has no desire at present.

Who will win the Premier League championship in the end? We have to wait for 4 days!
