In the 33rd minute of the game, Hazard once again used his personal ability to break through Manchester United's defense on the left!
Valencia is 32 years old this season and is already starting to show his age!
In terms of speed and explosive power, he can't keep up with Hazard at all.
And Hazard is clearly at his peak.
He completely crushed Valencia with his body!
This makes Manchester United's right-side defense useless!
Mourinho frowned as he watched from the sidelines.
But this is the true strength of Manchester United this season.
The players' personal abilities are far from matching Manchester United's current record!
This is why Conte is very confident to catch up with Manchester United in the Premier League.
After Hazard got rid of Valencia, he cut inside and shot directly!
This kick was very sudden!
After all, Chelsea's previous routine was to pass the ball to Diego Costa, the fulcrum in the middle!
After seeing that the previous passes had no effect, Hazard obviously scored the ball directly by himself!
"boom!"
"Bang!"
Lin Feng was very focused. After a diving leap, he made an extreme save and blocked the ball.
The changed direction of the football hit the left post and bounced out.
"I'll go! It's so dangerous!"
"Hazard's shot is very threatening!"
"Manchester United's defensive problem on the right side should be solved!"
"If you keep it for too long, you will lose it!"
In the broadcast room, Zhan Jun said with some worry.
"That's true!"
"But Valencia is the only right back in Manchester United who can do anything!"
Huang Jianxiang also frowned.
Mourinho on the sidelines naturally noticed this.
"Fellaini! Pull back a little! Pay attention to protecting the back line!"
Mourinho shouted to Fellaini on the field.
In this game, Mourinho did not arrange a 4-5-1 formation, and he already felt a little uneasy at this time.
The reason why we play 4-3-3 is naturally because we hope to defeat Chelsea cleanly at home!
Mourinho still has resentment towards Chelsea in his heart!
If Chelsea is beaten twice this season, Mourinho will feel bad in his heart!
But now, Mourinho feels a little regretful.
I feel that Manchester United's plans for the entire season should not be compromised because of my own selfishness.
Under Mourinho's call, both Herrera and Fellaini retreated significantly and became the actual defensive midfielders!
Of the three midfielders, only Pogba is in front.
But as a result, Manchester United's midfielder is a bit out of touch.
0:0!
At the end of the first half, neither team scored a goal.
After Mourinho adjusted the formation, Manchester United's midfield was disjointed and the frontcourt offense lost its coherence.
Losing possession of the ball, Manchester United's situation became very ugly.
But it's not entirely without benefits.
Fellaini retreated to the midfielder position to strengthen the protection of the defense. Hazard's sudden breakthrough on the left was not so easy.
During the halftime break, the head coaches of both teams made tactical adjustments to their teams.
Conte was also dissatisfied with Chelsea's first-half performance.
The ball possession rate is up and the offense is coming out!
But it failed to produce a shot that could really threaten Manchester United's goal!
This is not the scene Conte wanted.
"David Luiz! Press forward decisively in the second half!"
Conte used his unique trick again!
Although the effect of David Luiz's central defender pressing forward was not good in the first match against Manchester United, Conte still wanted to try it this time!
At the beginning of the season, we didn't get along well, but it's different now.
Conte's three-centre-back formation is rare in the Premier League!
In addition, David Luiz, as a central defender, frequently presses forward, which makes many teams feel at a loss!
Often an opportunity to break the balance on the court is enough to change the entire situation!
"clear!"
David Luiz nodded solemnly.
As a unique central defender in the Premier League, David Luiz obviously enjoys this way of playing football.
It was Conte who discovered this ability of his and gave him the space to display it!
This makes David Luiz very convinced of Conte!
He can be considered a direct descendant of Conte in the Chelsea team.
"Hazard! When the breakthrough in the second half attracted many defenders from Manchester United, he passed the ball out in time!"
Conte warned Hazard again.
Hazard's breakthrough effect in the first half was undoubtedly very good.
As [Semési], Hazard is currently at his peak. He is indeed the man who can single-handedly change the situation of the war!
In the first half of the game, Hazard turned Valencia into a sieve!
It's just that there were some sticky balls, which resulted in a lot of wasted opportunities.
In fact, this cannot be entirely blamed on Hazard, but every time Hazard's cross was basically destroyed by Lin Feng's timely attack.
As for ground balls, it is often difficult for Diego Costa to control the ball smoothly.
As for high-altitude balls, Lin Feng is always accurate!
This made Azar very helpless.
However, in the face of Conte's instructions, Hazard still agreed.
Isn’t the role of a star just to solve problems?
Hazard has always benchmarked himself against Messi and Ronaldo, so he will naturally not back down at this time!
Moreover, if he can break through the goal guarded by Lin Feng, it will also have special meaning for Hazard!
At the beginning of the year, when discussing the Ballon d'Or, fans unanimously regarded Lin Feng as being alongside Messi and Ronaldo, which made stars like Hazard very dissatisfied!
He, a goalkeeper, why?
It is also Azar's wish to defeat Lin Feng head-on!
Because only in this way can Hazard confidently claim that I am the first person after Messi and Ronaldo!
But if Hazard can't even break through the goal guarded by Lin Feng, what is there to say?
The second half of the game begins.
Mourinho was silent at half-time.
He has been thinking about whether to change back to 4-5-1 in the second half!
Once upon a time, Mourinho would not have considered such a problem!
That's it!
But now Mourinho has changed a lot.
To put it nicely, it’s called [mature]!
To put it bluntly, it means that it has lost its original vigor!
"Done!"
"Get out of here in the second half!"
"Do you really think I can't play offensive football?"
Mourinho shook his head, his emotions were in place for a moment, and he suddenly made a decision!
"Second half!"
"attack!"
Mourinho issued a combat order to the entire Manchester United team!
Unify your thoughts!
Army attack!
With Lin Feng’s six team characteristic bonuses, it’s very stable!
