Chapter 223 Sliding on my knees and three bars, call me the car repair king!

Chelsea's wing attack was half-wasted, and they could only try to penetrate the middle through short passes to seek opportunities to advance further.

Kante's role was infinitely magnified.

He began to take on the organizational work on the right side, filling the offensive intensity of the wing for Chelsea.

Five minutes after Manchester United scored, Jorginho turned around and passed Pogba, making a short pass to Kante on the side.

The latter decisively made a long pass to William in the opposite direction.

In football, players with shaggy hair seem to have very good ball-stopping skills. William broke through Valencia with a series of stops and dribbles, and swept a low ball in front of the goal near the baseline.

Morata has a keen sense of attack.

He accurately judged the trajectory of the football and shot the ball before Maguire.

Unfortunately, the shot from the King of Double Left Foot flew directly out of the baseline.

The Chelsea fans in the stands had no time to express regret and were so angry that they even cursed their own people.

In their opinion, if a center forward, such as Chu Feng, was replaced, Chelsea might have already led 2-1.

Sarri adjusted the frame of his glasses on the sidelines. Chelsea's forward line did have big problems in this game. Morata could not integrate into the tactics at all, and Hazard played as a right winger, which he was not good at. Only William's performance was pretty good.

"If we replace two players in the first half."

Sarri just thought of a plan, but then decisively gave it up.

Because that would be tantamount to cutting off his own retreat. With Mourinho's ability to make on-the-spot adjustments, he would definitely be able to make substitutions at critical moments.

Now he just relies on the players on the field to make fine adjustments.

First, let Hazard and William swap positions. The former can create danger to Manchester United's defense by playing as a left winger.

Secondly, continue to increase Kante's proportion on the offensive end, with the three midfielders forming an inverted triangle position to strengthen the ability to hold the ball in Manchester United's hinterland.

However, Mourinho seems to have already had a solution.

Manchester United did not become confused by Chelsea's cross-position substitutions, but instead actively compressed the formation to increase the strength of the flank defense, continuing with a clear man-to-man marking tactic.

Chu Feng relied on his extremely high tactical freedom to maneuver among Chelsea's formations.

It's like a ghost that disappears without a trace.

He can always determine Chelsea's offensive focus in advance and run to the most suitable location for counterattack.

Rudiger looked at Chu Feng running around and felt like he was surrounded by a few buzzing flies. He could only remain highly vigilant at all times.

He has faced many difficult offensive players before.

Strong, fast, smart. But when a person has all the above qualities, it is extremely painful for the defensive player, who would wish he could give him a hard tackle.

Of course, Rudiger was just thinking about it.

After all, when the video of the post-match conflict between Manchester United and Madrid was released, most people noticed Chu Feng's agile skills, and he knocked down Diego Costa and Lemar in succession in just a few seconds.

Unable to defend and unable to attack, Rudiger must be very depressed now.

While Manchester United was defending with all their might, they also did not forget to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

There is no longer a frequent long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt, because this kind of attack is too inefficient and it is easy to give the ball to the opponent.

Manchester United chose to push forward from both wings.

Take a closer look at Manchester United's wing configuration. Valencia, Mahrez, Rashford and Ashley Young are all fast horses, and they compete on the efficiency of attack and defense transitions.

So in the final stage of the first half, Chelsea was instead pressed by Manchester United.

The cheers from Chelsea fans gradually faded and even became quiet.

Only then did they realize that Manchester United on the football field has been transformed and is no longer the team that could only rely on the explosive performance of its players last season.

The last minute of injury time.

Hazard received the pass from Kante on the right and rushed straight to the front of the penalty area with the ball.

According to CIES data last season, Hazard ranked first in the top five leagues with 6.4 dribbles per 90 minutes and a success rate of 75%.

As for the second place, it is Chu Feng, who makes 5.7 dribbles per 90 minutes with an 83% success rate.

It’s just that their dribbling skills are completely different.

Hazard's dribbling moves are relatively simple, mostly small changes of direction, flicks and pulls.

It is enough to proceed to the next step, and there is no need to force the defensive player to pass cleanly.

Of course, another important reason is that Hazard's absolute speed is not as good as Chu Feng's.

His extremely high step frequency and ball touch allow him to get rid of the defender before he kicks. His stable center of gravity and body allow him to remain resilient under high-intensity confrontations.

Especially his butt.

No joke, Belgium national team coach Martinez once said: "Why is Hazard so good at breaking through? His butt is the key. His butt helps him lower his center of gravity when passing through, and he can use the swing of his butt to complete a one-on-one escape."

“It’s a very special ability that other players can’t do.”

In fact, excellent dribbling players in football generally have tight and prominent hip curves.

For example, Sterling.

Facing Matic's fierce interception, Hazard suddenly changed direction to the left, and then moved to the right.

He completed two touches of the ball in the blink of an eye. His outstanding ball feel, delicate technique and quick stop in a small area allowed him to complete an unexpected pass.

The cheers at Stamford Bridge became louder again.

"Beautiful pass!"

"Break through the defense of Matic and Herrera single-handedly!"

"Hazard is still in hot form in the new season. Even if he has conflicts with head coach Sarri, it cannot change the fact that he is the strongest explosive point of the Blues!"

Zhan Jun hadn't finished speaking.

Hazard dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area, trying to use the same trick to get past David Luiz.

He wants to use a dragon to declare that he is the leader of Chelsea!

Although David Luiz is very familiar with Hazard's technical characteristics, there are some things that you cannot do just by knowing them. In this case, he can only stretch out his long legs.

Bang! Hazard changed direction at the critical moment! He ignored Morata who was shouting for the ball from the side. After all, who knows whether the king of the reverse foot will be happy?

However, something he didn't expect happened. The big player who looked stupid actually judged his intention to break through correctly.

The most difficult thing for an aircraft carrier is turning around, and frontal defense is absolutely reliable! When the formation is compressed and the space behind is small, Maguire can follow up and assist David Luiz in completing the frontal interception.

"Wow, a precise grab!"

"Maguire did a great job. He didn't choose to pass the ball, but took the ball forward himself!"

"His ability to advance is relatively good among central defenders."

Maguire also has a plump butt, does that mean he’s also good at dribbling?

really.

Although his stride frequency is not high due to his physique, his dribbling rhythm and ball sense are very good.

As long as you are not tackled, it is difficult to lose the ball.

Kanter approached and tried to steal the ball on the spot.

Maguire is used to getting rid of defenders by changing the ball's path, which requires good prediction and rhythm control, and he happens to have these two advantages.

And his left arm was slightly raised to block.

Kante immediately discovered a cruel fact: his legs were too short to reach the ball!

As for confronting Maguire? Let's look at a set of data to know the answer. Maguire weighs 99 kilograms and Kante weighs 68 kilograms.

After Maguire passed Kante, he heard a familiar voice.

I looked up and it turned out to be Chu Feng.

Due to the close defense of Rudiger and Gary Cahill, Chu Feng could only retreat to gain possession of the ball and then turn around to seek space for a breakthrough.

Maguire didn't hesitate at all and made a powerful short pass!

Jorginho wanted to intercept the ball halfway, but Pogba attracted his attention and he was a beat slower than before.

Rudiger pounced on Chu Feng frantically.

With the example of the previous goal in mind, he didn't dare let Chu Feng take the ball easily.

Sarri also waved his arms vigorously to signal Azpilicueta to come forward to assist in defense.

Before receiving the ball, Chu Feng observed the environment behind him. He had already anticipated Rudiger's interception and took the initiative to move backwards to block Rudiger's sight.

Next second.

There were continuous exclamations at Stamford Bridge.

Chu Feng was seen standing sideways, flicking the ball with his toes, and turning around at the same time!

The whole process is easy and carefree!

Before Rudiger could react, he saw Chu Feng leave in a leisurely manner, without even a chance to grab him.

Chu Feng strode with the ball while looking up to find his teammates.

As a result, he found that due to Manchester United's compressed formation, the two wingers also retreated to participate in the defense, which meant that he now only had two options.

Either go into the dragon's den alone, or slow down and reorganize the attack.

His body has already given the answer, speed up!!! Speed ​​up towards Chelsea's defense! Azpiquetá from the side and back strides over. His defense is not known for rough collisions and tackles, but he is very good at using experience to block and predict.

But Chu Feng took the initiative to bump to the side.

APZ suddenly felt like he had hit a wall. His balance was destroyed and he staggered and fell to the ground.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Blues captain, who is already at the end of his career, is in a very embarrassing situation.

He could only look at the figure that was already out of reach, and an inappropriate thought came to his mind.

Chu Feng's butt also seems to be quite perky.

Chelsea fans couldn't bear to watch any more, and Manchester United fans stood up and prepared to cheer.

Dribbling, acceleration, confrontation, and footsteps so fast that you can't see clearly! Every touch of the ball seems to have been calculated in a complex way!

In just a few seconds, Chu Feng completed a series of wonderful operations and came to Chelsea's penalty area! The only person standing in his way was Gary Cahill! This unknown defender was the winner in life. In just three years, he won all the major honors that a club player could get, becoming the fastest Grand Slam player in Premier League history.

Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA. Now it seems that the person most likely to break his record is only Chu Feng.

Although he is usually low-key, he is Chelsea's iron wall and screen, known for his tough defensive style and strong aerial and ground defense capabilities.

He knew that Chu Feng's fake moves were very realistic, so he didn't kick but just blocked the position to interfere.

But the problem is that Chu Feng didn't move at all, he just relied on his instantaneous explosive power to increase his speed to a higher level.

Chelsea's defense seemed to be shattered! Kepa has rarely seen such a brutal striker in La Liga! Even Neymar at his peak, his impact seemed to be inferior!

He lowered his center of gravity slightly and prepared to save the shot at any time, but his heart couldn't help but beating fast.

Because the most terrifying thing is that Chu Feng still perfectly maintains absolute control of the ball while dribbling at high speed, and he can make a move at almost every step! When he can no longer bear the impulse to pounce, Chu Feng suddenly stabs his right foot to the side! The strong calf muscles allow him to be more concealed when handling the ball! Kepa couldn't even touch the shadow of the ball, fell to the ground weakly, and looked back, the ball flew lightly into his own goal.

"This ball goes in!!! Chu Feng once again scored against Chelsea! He scored twice before the end of the first half!"

"Xiao Chu put on a super performance by taking on Chelsea's entire defense line!"

"I think this is not only a "science fiction" in the eyes of Chelsea fans, but also what Xiao Chu should be like in the hearts of Manchester United fans!"

“This is an amazing and perfect goal!”

"Everyone can guess whether Xiao Chu, who is in full swing this season, can take away the title of the Human King from Azar Ying?"

Zhan Jun's powerful voice came out.

Zhang Lu, who was standing next to him, saw a set of data and said teasingly, "By the way, from last season to now, Xiao Chu has the highest average number of dribbles and success rate in the games against Chelsea."

"I think it's not too much to call him the car repair king."

Stamford Bridge was also filled with two different emotions. The crazy roar of Manchester United fans reached the sky like an erupting volcano.

No one can see such a powerful goal and remain indifferent.

Chelsea fans' eyes widened in disbelief at what they saw. Once upon a time, they had the patent to take on the opponent's defense line alone.

Amid the deafening cheers, Chu Feng celebrated by sliding on his knees, crossing his arms across his chest in domineering style! Mahrez followed closely behind, carefully observing the trajectory of the slide, and approached Chu Feng and said in surprise: "Chu, you also have three stripes?"

Chu Feng glanced at him, with the corners of his mouth raised high.

He had practiced it before.

In addition to the two bars drawn at the knees, the third bar between the knees is drawn by the toe of the left foot.

Maguire looked down at his crotch in disbelief, subconsciously reached out to adjust his eggs, and muttered to himself: "This doesn't make sense! I don't believe it!"

The rest of the Manchester United players also came over.

“This goal was so cool!”

"It's a pity that the first half is almost over, otherwise Chu might be able to score a hat trick!"

"Chu, I want to learn this!"

Looking at the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among Manchester United players, Chelsea players fell into a long silence. They worked together to drive out Mourinho and Conte, and even forced several former teammates to leave.

Is this really correct?

No one can give them an answer. After all, they are their own choices and there should be no right or wrong.

The Manchester United players did not stop celebrating until the referee came to remind them.

With little time left in the first half, Chelsea blew the whistle shortly after kick-off.

Manchester United fans immediately gave warm applause.

They were already very satisfied with being able to lead Chelsea 2-0 away from home. Of course, it would have been even better if they could score another goal in the second half.

The Manchester United players walked towards the player tunnel, talking and laughing, where Mourinho gave everyone a hug.

However, when it was Chu Feng's turn, Mourinho ignored Chu Feng's resentful look and ruffled his black hair into a bird's nest. "You are always excited when playing against Chelsea. This goal was really beautiful!"

"Boss, I'm the man who's going to break the Premier League goal record!" Chu Feng said confidently.

The master and the apprentice walked side by side towards the player tunnel. Mourinho stretched out his finger and shook it: "What's the Premier League goal record? Break the single-season goal record in the top five leagues, and I will buy you a pair of shoes."

Chu Feng curled his lips: "Then this record is too cheap, right? Boss, are you going to give me a pure 24K gold boot?"

Mourinho laughed twice and changed the subject stiffly.

As for the Chelsea players, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable looking at the two men, thinking that if Mourinho had made changes earlier, things would not have developed to that point in the end.

When they returned to the home team's locker room, they heard Sarri's angry voice.

"Why did you all forget my pre-match arrangements and fail to execute even the most basic tactics?"

“Who can tell me the answer?”

"Eden, do you have anything to say?"

Of course, Hazard had nothing to say as Sarri forced him to take up the core position and play as a right winger, a position he was not familiar with at all.

He is full of resentment now.

Sarri was furious when he saw this. He is an old-school Italian coach and believes that players must obey the coach's orders unconditionally.

So he said in a hoarse voice: "A striker's mission on the field is to score goals. The coach has the right to replace any striker who is in poor condition!"

"I thought you were a leader at Chelsea but now it seems you are just an individual."

There were no merciless words, Hazard just shrugged his shoulders. He didn't care what Sarri said and would only focus on his football.

Sarri wanted to make an example of Hazard, but he didn't expect Hazard to ignore him at all.

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly dropped to freezing point, Sarri was so angry that he spoke in Italian. Chelsea, nicknamed the Iron Blues, actually lost their desire for victory.

After a while, he recovered and said, suppressing his anger: "From a tactical point of view, we are at the same level as Manchester United. They are not as strong as we imagined."

"We have to be motivated enough to win the game, with tens of thousands of fans coming to support us."

Italian coaches are all good at motivating players, but they ignore the fact that motivation must be combined with goals in order for players to generate inner motivation.

Moreover, Chelsea's situation is not suitable for forced encouragement. It would be better to let the old players lead by example.

At the same time, inside the visiting team's locker room next door.

Mourinho simply reviewed the first half of the game, telling each player their shortcomings and how they needed to improve. In fact, he used the second method.

The only difference is that the one he relies on is not the old players but Chu Feng.

The player who came from Manchester United's youth training system has a good relationship with most of the players and shows great fighting spirit in the game and in life.

Mourinho has become accustomed to giving up some of his say in the locker room by letting Chu Feng take on more responsibilities to push the rest of the players forward.

After all, it works pretty well this way.

The fifteen minutes of halftime passed quickly and Stamford Bridge became noisy again.
