"The camera showed Ibrahimovic in casual clothes in the stands."
"My expression is very helpless."
"Because he was seriously injured, he took the initiative to terminate his contract with Manchester United in advance and was unwilling to take advantage of his salary. Manchester United's senior management temporarily rejected his application to terminate the contract. Just keep him as long as he can. The Red Devils can afford it."
"But his agent Raiola doesn't give up and hopes Manchester United will give him a pension contract."
"Raiola is also Pogba's agent."
"On the eve of last season's Europa League final, Raiola publicly criticized Manchester United, completely ignoring the impact of his remarks on the players and the club's preparations for the final."
"This may also be one of the reasons that prompted Manchester United's senior management to introduce a new core."
...
Chelsea, with a two-goal lead, started to snowball.
Manchester United cannot continue to defend low, they cannot sit still and wait for death.
Tuchel stood in the command area with a calm face, making gestures and lining up his troops.
The advantage is mine.
Li Kang and Kanter's positions are slightly behind.
Morata and William frequently retreated and participated in the series.
Hazard cuts into the center position.
As the football moves, the position changes.
Blue Storm showed extremely terrifying flexibility and fluency in head-on mobile battles.
Dino is full of confidence: "The training advantages of diamond hexagons and small tennis balls have been realized."
...
time flies.
I gradually understood the explanation.
"Manchester United, which was two goals behind, had to attack. They tried to drive Chelsea's ball-handlers from the 40-meter area to the side with narrow vision, using the partial number of people to create a side blockade."
"The overall formation moves very well."
"Tuchel's preparations are very thorough and Chelsea's solution is very simple."
"The Triangle of Resistance breaks the blockade."
"Morata and Willian retreated, and Li Kang created the first 'big' triangle pass in the deep position of the midfield."
"Fabregas, who is positioned further forward, and the two back fullbacks are set up, and then create a new "small" passing triangle."
"Hazard, who rotated to the center position, then moved laterally towards his teammate's side holding the ball, creating another triangle."
"Ensure the smooth progression of football into the attacking third."
"This style of play requires extremely high standards for Li Kang and Fabregas to get rid of the ball and pass the ball with stability!"
"It is simply difficult for the opponent to predict the passing path and the direction of the attack."
"Derived from the late core and the front core..."
...
Applause rang out again.
The football emerges from the crowd.
A tall figure appeared in the lens.
There is an open area ahead.
"coming!"
"Azpilicueta!"
...
Li Kang did not continue to rush forward.
Chelsea have too many attacking points in the frontcourt in this timeline.
As the initiating core behind, there was no time to move forward.
What he and Kanter need to prepare at this moment is: if Manchester United counterattacks, the two of them will intercept in time to help the team create a second offensive opportunity.
Fight against each other.
Snowball.
Tushi Chelsea is a professional.
"The Blues' current formation is 1-2-7!"
"cruel!"
"radical!"
"No mercy!"
"Azpilicueta was forced near the baseline by Blind and made a direct pass!"
The football spun violently and fell into the penalty area.
Point forward Willian and Morata.
Later, David Luiz and Hazard.
There are also Fabregas and Marcos at the outer two points.
Among these people, no one touched the ball.
The football hit Smalling on the head... and flew into the Manchester United goal.
0:3!!!
Suddenly, Old Trafford fell silent.
De Gea looked hopeless.
Mourinho looked stunned.
"Own goals."
"Smolin killed the game."
"The angle of this header is very tricky!"
"There's nothing De Gea can do."
"Smolin lowered his head and it was obvious that he felt guilty at this time."
"No one complained about him. His teammates stepped forward to comfort and encourage him."
"Mistakes are inevitable. No one can guarantee that they will never make mistakes. We should give Manchester United's defense a little more tolerance..."
...
-【Tolerant for several seasons...】
-[De Gea: How to win 1 against 21?]
-【You have misunderstood, Manchester United in the game is...very awesome.】
- [This Chelsea team is really abnormal. They are sweeping the Premier League. How can they lose? The bench is so thick. 】
...
Beep! Beep beep~
The referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The red line of God's time is closing rapidly.
Li Kang gradually realized that with Tuchel and Dino here, he didn't seem to need to use his deconstruction ability in the game.
Both Sanchez and Matic were "invisible" by Chelsea's tactical adjustments in the second half of the first half.
Herrera, who was responsible for closely guarding Hazard, also fell into "running blindly" because of the former's crazy rotation.
It feels like you don’t have to use your brain much.
not bad.
Easy.
the other side.
Maguire took out a small book and pen and carefully analyzed Chelsea's tactical adjustments with his Manchester United teammates.
"Is there a solution?"
"No."
...
Chelsea dressing room.
The coaching staff and players did not feel complacent about being three goals ahead.
Tuchel's serious attitude can easily be misunderstood... Chelsea is behind.
"Our matchup advantage will get bigger and bigger in the second half."
"Pogba, Matic and Lee, midfield talents of their size, will not be able to maintain coverage and defensive coverage at the end of the game."
"Little guys like Kante and Cesc Fabregas will gradually gain the upper hand."
"What will happen at most of the time?"
"Weakness in midfield matchup."
"This will cause Manchester United's front and backcourts to be in a state of separation. Have you noticed the positioning distribution of their position structure? Six people are hoarding the backcourt, and four are waiting for opportunities in the frontcourt."
"We can continue to get a lot of shooting opportunities, but we have to be careful about their transition attacks."
"As the physical fitness of different players declines, Manchester United's allocation of ball-holding resources will change significantly."
"The solution of the opponent's coaching staff must be to... allocate resources to Sanchez, while Pogba becomes a rib fulcrum."
"..."
"Chelsea's offense doesn't end here!"
Although some players don't understand it well, they feel that the head coach is very powerful.
Like a success lecturer.
The cohesion of the locker room often comes from this messy factor.
....
The second half of the game was particularly intense.
Not only is Tuchel changing, but so is Mourinho opposite you.
Change around.
Can't stop the players' magical performance.
The 63rd minute of the game.
Kanter intercepted Matic's long counterattack pass.
Passed the ball to Li Kang immediately.
The Red Devils, who were moving forward, had no time to get into position and were in chaos.
A flaw that appears in almost every game of Manchester United... a perfect replica: the defensive thinking of the back line is not unified.
An overhead kick went through Maguire's back.
By the time he completed his turn...William had also completed his shot.
Boom!
De Gea quickly went to the ground and predicted it perfectly.
Unfortunately, it was too late to switch to the best hand type, and the opponent's shot was too powerful, causing it to miss.
Morata grabbed the spot and made a follow-up shot.
But under Smallin's interference, it was difficult to adjust to the best state.
Empty center pillar.
The football refracts into the net.
0:4!!!
...
The 70th minute of the game.
Li Kang quickly left the field amid applause and cheers from Old Trafford.
Drinkwater, the "water drinker" who returned from injury, made his Premier League debut for Chelsea.
Immediately afterwards.
Tuchel started the third adjustment.
Prepare in advance for the second round of the Champions League group stage.
