Chapter 258: There is no limit in the Dream Theater, three goals overtaking!

Fifteen minutes passed quickly and no one knew what Sarri said, but when the Chelsea players came out, everyone's face was extremely gloomy.

Sometimes, motivation needs to be combined with the actual situation. It is difficult to achieve a good effect by just verbal stimulation.

Sarri really needs to learn from Guardiola, Mourinho, Klopp and others in this regard.

And someone needs to stand up and set an example. Chelsea used to have Terry and Drogba, but who else can be called "iron-blooded" now? Beep!!! The referee blew the whistle to start the second half. Hazard kicked the ball back to Jorginho, who then passed it to Kovacic.

Kovacic wanted to dribble the ball forward, but found that there were no teammates nearby to follow up.

How the hell can they play like this? With 45 minutes left in the game, Chelsea players had already lost their fighting spirit and it was unlikely that they would be able to force a draw and fight for penalties with Manchester United.

Kovacic suddenly regretted coming to Chelsea.

There is an old saying: "He who keeps company with vermilion becomes vermilion, and he who keeps company with ink becomes black."

In an environment where everyone is giving up, it is difficult for you to stick to your original intention.

If I had known I shouldn't have come to Chelsea.

Kovacic complained inwardly and passed the ball back to Azpilicueta.

"Move the formation upwards, defend in the middle and high positions, and get the ball back as soon as possible!" Chu Feng waved his hand and led the charge.

Since Chelsea is in bad shape, they have to take advantage of the situation and try to end the game within regular time.

After all, penalty shootouts not only test strength, but also involve a lot of luck.

Not taking penalties unless absolutely necessary was the primary goal Mourinho set for Manchester United players during the half-time break.

Limited by the natural weakness of the 4312 formation in defensive width, Manchester United did not put all its strength on high-pressure pressing, but instead restricted the opponent's passing routes through the running of frontcourt players.

From God's perspective.

Chu Feng, Pogba and Mahrez stood in parallel to form an interception line.

"I'll do it!"

Chu Feng signaled Pogba to stand in the middle and took the initiative to rush towards Azpilicueta.

His running route was very sophisticated, intentionally or unintentionally exposing the space in the middle, as if to lure the opponent to pass the ball.

"Everyone, look carefully, the positioning of Manchester United's three midfielders is much forward than before."

Neville thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Mid-lane pressure trap!"

Carragher next to him also echoed: "Mourinho's classic tactical play!"

As soon as the two finished talking, Azpilicueta passed the ball, and Jorginho was reminded by his teammates before he received the ball.

“There’s someone behind us!”

Kante stuck close like a thorn in the flesh.

It wasn't until the two became enemies and faced off head-on that Jorginho realized how difficult Kante was to deal with.

He couldn't turn around to get the ball away, so he could only bear the Kante's left foot pass.

The football rolled quickly to Barkley on the left.

This guy was originally a famous genius in FIFA, but he seemed very bad when he actually played in the game.

Chelsea fans gave him a nickname: "Offensive Terminator!"

Herrera kept muttering to himself, and didn't stretch his legs even after getting close to you, just constantly putting psychological pressure on you.

Barkley did not disappoint Political Commissar E's expectations and made a passing error in his panic.

“Oops, he wanted to find Jorginho again, but Kante went straight forward and intercepted him halfway!”

"Barkley's pass was so random!"

"Let's see if Manchester United can seize the opportunity!"

Neville even pretended to shake his head, which made Mikel next to him feel disgusted. He thought that it was no wonder that Neville was unpopular.

Carragher observed Mikel's expression, guessed what he was thinking, and felt a sense of sympathy.

The commentary was brilliant, and the action on the field was no less exciting.

After completing the interception, Kante did not pass the ball easily, but went straight to the penalty area.

His idea is simple.

The ball attracted some of Chelsea's defensive strength and created a more comfortable offensive environment for his teammates.

"Keep a close eye on Manchester United's No. 7!" Rudiger, who was closest to the team, left a word and rushed towards his former teammate fiercely.

However, the sound behind him made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

Chu Feng was like a sharp dagger, slashing diagonally from the sideline to the left side of the penalty area, which was the space left by Rudiger's forward header.

Azpilicueta ran wildly behind with his arms swinging, but the distance between him and the opponent did not get closer but got farther and farther.

In terms of explosive speed within 10 meters, who in the entire Premier League can compare to Chu Feng?

Azpilicueta couldn't think of the answer. He definitely couldn't do it, even if he was a few years younger.

Kante's eyes were full of surprise as he looked at Chu Feng's agile movement.

You can't let yourself down.

He kicked his right foot upward with force, and a rainbow seemed to appear in the sky above Old Trafford.

Rudiger quickly stopped and jumped up on the spot.

But the football just passed by his head and seemed to have hit his scalp.

Rudiger now regrets having a flat head.

Chu Feng looked back to observe the trajectory of the football, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed Christensen on the right, who was desperately rushing towards him.

Stopping the ball first and then shooting will definitely not work.

In the fierce Premier League, the pace is faster than ordinary people can imagine.

How can you have so much time to adjust? Whoever can make the highest quality processing in the shortest time can become a superstar player.

“Opportunities are fleeting!”

Chu Feng's body was seen tilted to an exaggerated angle, and his right leg was almost parallel to the ground.

The purpose of this is to suppress the shot and prevent it from hitting the air due to excessive force.

Bang! The instep of the right foot made full contact with the football, making a dull sound.

Having watched the match between Manchester United and Arsenal some time ago, Kepa knew that Chu Feng had a special trick of aiming far and hitting the target close up, so he deliberately moved closer to the left goal post when positioning himself.

But who knew that Chu Feng would play by the rules today.

The power of the swinging leg was fully transmitted, causing the football to fly along the ground at an extremely fast speed and hit the side net of Chelsea's goal.

3-0!

Less than 10 minutes into the second half, Manchester United took the lead.

"Chu!"

Neville ignored the strange looks from others, stood up abruptly and yelled at the top of his voice: "Two assists and one goal! Although the game is not over yet, I dare say he is the best player, no doubt about it!"

"His grasp of opportunities is simply terrifying. I don't think there is anyone in the entire Premier League or even Europe who can surpass him."

"Compared to last season's eye-catching continuous breakthroughs, Chu has now become more comprehensive and mature. He can switch positions at the right time, adapt to the team's overall tactics, and seize the opportunities created by his teammates."

The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford also stood up with Neville.

The red flags waving in the stands intertwined to form a bright and vast ocean, which seemed to dye the entire Manchester sky red.

After falling behind by two goals away from home, it was not an easy task to score three goals in a row when returning home.

But that's what makes it exciting.

Manchester United fans have been accumulating emotions for such a long time, and finally they can vent them all out at this moment.

"Manchester United! Manchester United! Manchester United!"

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

“The sky’s the limit at Dream Theater!”

"Caradalcanal Cup final, go ahead!"

Chu Feng and his teammates ran to the nearby stands, listened to the repeated praises, and high-fived the fanatical Manchester United fans.

Tonight, everyone wearing a red jersey had a bright smile on their face.

There were also two different scenes on the sidelines of the court.

There was complete silence on the Chelsea bench. No one wanted to risk their life and get into trouble with Sarri at this time.

And they didn't have any expectations for this game.

Even if Chelsea only needed to score one goal, they could drag the game back to penalties.

Sarri wanted to leave the field, but he stopped when he turned around. After a long silence, he said in a deep voice: "Giroud, Marcos, you two should take the time to warm up!"

Since he became a football coach at the age of 30, he has moved from the seventh-level league to Serie A and has never given up any game.

Today too.

Even if the players have lost confidence, the game must go on.

After Mourinho next door finished celebrating, he saw Sarri's lonely and desolate back and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Sarri is too stubborn. He always insists on putting Kante in the front midfielder position and always sticks to the 433 formation. His on-the-spot command and flexibility during the game are not very good."

Mourinho didn't have anything nice to say about Sarri.

Faria continued: "If you want to use the old tactics to rebuild Chelsea and conquer the Premier League, the final result will only be washed up on the beach by the waves."

However, if Sarri had not been so stubborn, Kante would not have chosen to leave Chelsea.

So Manchester United can be considered the ultimate beneficiary.

After Faria finished speaking, I suddenly felt that Sarri was quite pitiful. He did not have the rebelliousness of Mourinho, the prominent experience of Guardiola, or the popularity of Zidane. He came from a grassroots background and got to where he is today by observing and learning.

Just when he wanted to leave, he realized his responsibility. The cowardice and responsibility he showed in the end were just like many ordinary people in life.

Soon, Giroud stood on the sidelines, ready to replace Hazard.

To be honest, he felt that it was useless for him to play. Maguire and Luiz in Manchester United's defense were both very good at defending high balls, and there was Kante sweeping in front.

"You only look for me when there is a crisis. Why don't you let me start?" Giroud couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, he still worked very hard after coming on the court. After all, his professionalism is very high.

After leaving the field, Hazard went straight back to the locker room. As to whether he went there to secretly eat a hamburger, only he himself knew.

After the game resumed, as Giroud thought, Manchester United began to strengthen their backcourt defense, and in the 70th minute, replaced Mahrez with Rashford and Herrera with McTominay.

Both are positional substitutions.

Then Manchester United entered a medium and low defense, using defensive counterattack as the main tactic.

The two fast horses in the frontcourt suppressed Chelsea's defense, the formation in the middle and backcourt was compressed to build a tight defense, and the hinterland was left to Kante to clear.

Time passes by every second.

Only the shouts of Manchester United fans remained at Old Trafford, but Chelsea fans never left the stadium and insisted on fighting with the team until the last moment.

But this did not inspire Chelsea players to fight back, and their offensive tactics in the frontcourt began to become mindless crosses.

As for whether he can get the ball to land? That is the problem that the center should worry about. This made Giroud very tired and he cursed many times behind his back.

Beep-beep-beep! Finally, when the ball was cleared out of the sideline by Maguire, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Theatre of Dreams witnessed another comeback as Manchester United advanced to the League Cup final !

In another Carabao Cup semi-final, Manchester City played away against Tottenham. The scoreboard showed 0-1 and Manchester City temporarily took the lead.

The Tottenham players were like crazy, launching a fierce attack in the final countdown.

Because Manchester City was 2-1 behind Tottenham in the first leg, they had to score at least two goals to drag the game into overtime.

But all Manchester City players defended in their own half.

Kane's long shot was blocked by Otamendi and bounced to De Bruyne on the right side of the field. After receiving the ball, Ding Ding made a long pass.

The football accurately cut through the night sky and landed accurately at Foden's feet.

Trippier tackled Foden in a hurry, and the latter lay on the ground to delay time. Ali was so angry that he grabbed Foden's collar and muttered to himself.

Anyway, what I mean is, don't delay, or I'll beat you up no matter how good or bad you are.

The players of the two teams suddenly had a violent conflict, pushing and insulting each other, causing the game to be forced to be suspended for several minutes.

By the time the referee had dealt with the players' dispute, the game was over after only a few minutes.

So far, in the 2018-19 season, both Manchester City clubs have advanced to the Carabao Cup final.

The two teams will decide the winner of this season's League Cup at Wembley at the end of February.

This result was not too surprising.

According to the fans' plan, Liverpool should have been able to enter the semi-finals, but they met Chelsea in the third round and were defeated by Hazard in stoppage time in a 1vs3 victory.

However, Liverpool's focus this season is not the EFL Cup. Being eliminated early allows them to focus on the league and the Champions League. —— "Manchester United beat Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate, making a strong comeback and advancing to the EFL Cup final!"

"Chu Feng scored two goals and made one assist, with a score of 9.4, the highest in the game!"

"On the pros and cons of Manchester United's 4312 formation and Mourinho's tactical philosophy!"

"Guam-Mu's fight is about to begin again!"

The English media reported extensively after the game, and fans of each team also expressed their opinions. - [Manchester City won the League Cup last season. Let's see if they can defend the title this season! ] - [I looked at the schedule of the two teams in the second half of February. Manchester United will play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on the 13th, Chelsea in the FA Cup on the 19th, Arsenal in the Premier League on the 23rd, Manchester City in the League Cup on the 26th, and Crystal Palace in the Premier League on the 28th. It's not much easier than January. ] - [It's difficult for Mourinho to arrange his troops! ] - [In fact, Manchester City is similar, but the opponent is weaker than Manchester United. ] - [The main reason is that Manchester United will play Atletico Madrid, so a large number of them will be injured? The subsequent games will become very difficult. ] - [It's impossible to save strength in the Champions League, otherwise they will be defeated by Atletico Madrid and eliminate the suspense directly in the first round. ] - [It depends on how Mourinho arranges his troops. If it doesn't work, keep the league and the Champions League, and put the rest aside, such as the FA Cup. ]
