Chapter 142: The deafening boos at Trafford! (First update)
Chu Feng knew that Kante’s task today must be to limit himself, so he was even willing to let Pogba on the other side play freely.
I have to say that Conte's display design is very clever.
Drinkwater's defensive ability is definitely not as good as Kante's, but he has an excellent vertical long pass ability, which can connect with Hazard in the frontcourt.
Hazard's breakthrough ability will pose a great threat to Manchester United's defense, forcing Pogba to take on some defensive work.
There was no time to think, Chu Feng moved quickly to catch the sideline ball thrown by Luke Shaw, and then passed it back to Matic sideways, leaving no chance for Kante to steal the ball.
When facing a player like Kanter, you have to be quick and decisive when handling the ball. Any hesitation will be caught by Kanter.
The last time we fought.
Chu Feng had clearly passed Kante, but a few seconds later Kante appeared nearby again.
It's really difficult. So how to get past the "unbeatable Kante"? Chu Feng had studied this problem carefully before.
That is to make tactical changes, using lateral scheduling and vertical pulling to induce Kanter to change the direction of movement, making him lose the role of defensive barrier.
But it is easier said than done.
Of course, there is another way, which is to break through through personal ability.
But behind Kanter's wide defensive area is his outstanding frontal defensive ability. He can use his low center of gravity and fast movement speed to complete steals accurately and quickly.
Chu Feng must be more interested in the second method because he is best at dribbling.
However, he did not find a suitable opportunity in the following games and could only wait patiently.
Before we knew it, the game had reached the 12th minute.
Christensen, who had played extremely well in the last Champions League group match, recovered his form and accurately intercepted Mata's pass to Lukaku, then made a diagonal pass to the left before Lukaku could counterattack.
Drinkwater passed the ball to Marcos Alonso on the side with his back.
Since Chelsea's three-center-back formation can naturally utilize the width of the field, they basically attack from the flanks. Players with the surname Alonso have good dribbling skills.
Marcos Alonso is no exception.
When he got the ball, there was a deafening roar of boos at Old Trafford.
As for the reason? In 2011, Marcos Alonso was fined 61,000 euros and banned from driving for 40 months when he caused the death of a 19-year-old girl in the passenger seat due to drunk driving.
Therefore, whenever he plays away from home, he will definitely be targeted by the home team's fans.
With boos, middle fingers and curses coming one after another, it’s not easy for him to hold on until now.
Alonso showed off his footwork to get rid of Bomata and quickly moved forward along the sideline, then crossed to the middle after entering the 30-meter area.
"Hazard vs Pogba one-on-one!"
"Continuous center of gravity changes."
"Beautiful! He made room and squeezed right through!"
Zhan Jun didn't finish his words.
Manchester United’s No. 33 took a leap forward with incredible force.
David Luiz! Those who like him call him "an aggressive center back", while those who hate him call him "a nervous knife with good and bad moments".
That's why he was beaten 7-0 by Germany at home that year.
If David Luiz were to partner with Smalling or Lindelof, Manchester United's defense would probably become a sieve.
However, after the experience in France, David Luiz gradually calmed down and was not as impulsive as before when defending.
Of course, it's also very nerve-wracking.
Moreover, Mourinho did not build a defensive system around David Luiz, but instead centered it around the more stable Phil Jones. He was able to fill in the gaps for David Luiz to a large extent, allowing him to demonstrate his overall defensive capabilities.
For example, what is happening on the green field.
David Luiz's timing and route of the attack were impeccable, and he accurately snatched the ball from Hazard's feet.
"pretty!"
"David Luiz showed no mercy against his old club and made a crucial steal, passing it directly to Matic on the left!"
"Manchester United took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!"
at the same time.
Chu Feng signaled Luke Shaw to move forward quickly, while he himself moved from the right to the center. As Manchester United's strong point with the ball, Chelsea must invest manpower to limit him.
So Kante and Azpilicueta both subconsciously moved towards the middle, leaving space on the wing.
Matic decisively kicked the ball diagonally to the side.
Bang! The football rolled quickly along the grass.
Luke Shaw suddenly burst out with terrifying speed and ran along the sideline with the ball.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
When he debuted, he was known as "Bale's successor" because his sharp movements often made opponents doubt their lives, and sometimes he didn't even give them a chance to cross the ball.
His strongest point is not defense.
But speed!
Especially the speed of dribbling the ball forward, it was like a flying bullet.
But since his tibia was broken by a scissor kick from an PSV player in the Champions League group stage two years ago, his explosiveness and speed have been weakened to a certain extent.
It also left me with sequelae, with a serious injury every year.
Luke Shaw enjoyed the wind blowing past his face and had a lot of feelings in an instant.
Because the treatment process after the injury was so painful, he even thought about retiring.
But what made him even more desperate was the mental torture.
When he returned to Manchester United after going through all the difficulties, Van Gaal, who signed him, left and Mourinho was about to take over.
Mourinho questioned his training methods, attitude towards the game, and even his professionalism.
It nearly destroyed him.
Although Mourinho's goal is to stimulate the players to become better, it has to be said that his approach is unreasonable and can easily make the players unable to get out of it.
But Luke Shaw held on!
I saw that his speed was getting faster and faster, and he seemed to be catching up with my 19-year-old self.
"Just kick the ball directly from the left side of the penalty area!"
"Forehead"
"After all these years, Luke Shaw's crossing quality is still the same as before."
"He passed the ball straight to Courtois."
"If Luke Shaw had Trippier's crossing skills, he would have a good chance of competing for England's or even the world's best left-back."
Zhan Jun sighed.
The fans in the live broadcast room discussed it lively. - [The tactical confrontation between Kong Erlangzi and Mourinho was very exciting! ] - [But it seems that both teams have big problems. ] - [Manchester United's problem is very simple, the midfielders are too tall and the attack is slow. ] - [Before, Chu Feng was allowed to explode on the wing to forcibly increase the speed of attack, but now he is restricted by Kante, which has caused Manchester United's attack to stagnate. ] - [Yes, and Mata can only provide organization and transfer on the right side, resulting in Chelsea's defensive pressure on the other side not being strong enough. ] - [There will definitely be follow-up adjustments next, so just wait and see! ] - [.]
