Chapter 264: Chelsea in the FA Cup, Stamford Bridge Library!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the players of both teams wanted to lie down on the grass and fall asleep.

As for the result of the game? From the expressions of the fans of both teams in the stands, it is obvious who is satisfied and who is not.

"In the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid tied Manchester United 1:1. Although it looks like a draw on the surface, there is no doubt that Manchester United has the upper hand."

"Because of the yellow cards of Saul, Felipe and Diego Costa, they will be suspended in the second leg, which is very bad news for Atletico Madrid. It means that the strength of the left and right flanks will decrease."

"Obviously, Mourinho achieved his tactical goal."

Throughout the game, Atletico Madrid players ran 13% more distance in the first half, and the three yellow cards were all Mourinho's real intentions.

What's more, Manchester United also has a valuable away goal.

Chu Feng was quite satisfied with today's result. Although he did not score a goal, at least he got an assist.

Besides, under Mourinho's tactical tone today, he did not get too many tactical resources.

"Wait until we get to Old Trafford and then fire on all cylinders!" Chu Feng said secretly in his heart. He never concealed his desire for honor. The Premier League Golden Boot Award could no longer satisfy him.

Champions League Golden Boot Award. The Champions League Golden Boot Award has been monopolized by two great players in the past nine years, with Messi winning five times and Ronaldo winning four times.

And this season he wants to try to break the monopoly of the two.

However, it is much more difficult than the league's Golden Boot. After all, the opponents are basically European giants, and it is difficult for there to be a big gap in points between them.

Plus the boss's tactical approach.

"We can't waste this opportunity!" Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh, and then took his teammates to thank the team.

The Manchester United fans in the away stands did not leave. Instead, they waited until the Manchester United players stood in the stands and sang the Manchester United team song "Glory Glory Man United" in unison.

The generous and uplifting melody is full of heroic fighting spirit and passion, which makes people's blood boil when they hear it.

Chu Feng put his arm around his teammate's shoulders and sang along.

By the time of the post-match press conference, Simeone did not show any irritable or angry behavior because of the home draw.

On the contrary, he still said confidently: "Atletico will never give up the pursuit of victory. We will tell you with facts at Old Trafford."

In fact, he was not really panicked.

You have to know that since he coached Atletico Madrid, he has experienced many more severe situations than this, such as reaching the Champions League final twice but never winning the Champions League.

I can’t compete with the wealthy families, and I don’t have a lot of money.

Then continue the blood of the grassroots, take the grassroots personality, and do it without saying anything! This is Simeone's coaching philosophy! Mourinho didn't say much about it, just left a sentence "It's good to prove it with facts!" and left.

Late at night, the media began to report extensively.

"Atletico Madrid's new nemesis - Chu Feng!"

Neville: Three players are suspended, how will Atletico play in the second round? I think it is likely to be a tragedy!

"Simeone did not choose to give it a go at home, which doomed Atletico's Champions League journey to end!"

"Mourinho's utilitarian style of play is most suitable for the high-intensity Champions League!"

《.》

There is no doubt that the English media is biased towards Manchester United, and they are just short of belittling Atletico Madrid.

There are fewer media speaking for Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid has risen rapidly in recent years, it has not cultivated its own media outlets and is generally at a disadvantage in public opinion wars with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

However, Atletico Madrid players personally participated.

Morata posted an article on Twitter, the gist of which was that he has been an Atletico Madrid fan since he was a child and has always dreamed of playing for Atletico Madrid. Although Diego Costa was suspended, he is always ready to play!

Anyway, it's just to show loyalty to Simeone and try to get a starting spot.

This made Diego Costa feel very sick. He had never seen such a shameless person. He was even more shameless than himself.

But it’s hard to say anything.

After all, Simeone is even more ruthless than Conte. If he knew that I was causing trouble in the team, I would probably receive another "leave the team" text message.

After returning to Manchester, life became dull.

Manchester United's next game will be on February 19, the fifth round of the FA Cup, away against Chelsea.

Yes, Chelsea again.

The two teams had just finished the Carabao Cup semi-finals not long ago, and Manchester United reversed Chelsea in two rounds.

As a result, just a few days ago, the two teams met again by coincidence at the FA Cup draw ceremony.

I can only say that fate is so magical.

But Chelsea fans are not so happy. Matic, David Luiz and Kante have all been lured away by Manchester United. What can they use to play against Manchester United?

I don't know how the English Football Association arranged it! But the result is already determined and cannot be changed, so they can only accept it.

Interestingly, Sarri went from three packs of cigarettes a day to five.

Near the end of February, Chu Feng suddenly became busy. Due to the tight schedule, he had no time to review his lessons and could only apply for a postponement of the exam.

Now the deadline has arrived without me noticing.

You can't tell your teacher, "I'm going to play in the Champions League tomorrow, can I extend it for another half a month?"

Given his fame in Manchester, it might actually work, but Chu Feng didn't want to delay any further and wanted to finish the exam as soon as possible.

So recently, after training every day, I would take Maria to the library and enjoy the short college life.

I have to say that the business exams at the University of Manchester are very difficult.

The day before the fifth round of the FA Cup, Chu Feng finished all the overdue exams. After checking his transcript, he couldn't help but sigh: "This 60-plus points in a flash, I guess the teacher was lenient."

I'm not some genius who can't get full marks in such a short period of time.

But he is quite satisfied with this. As long as he doesn't fail the course, his focus has always been on football.

When Chu Feng went to the office to submit his midterm assignment, his instructor Spasoye Poulsen smiled and said, "Chu, you did a great job on your assignment. You have a talent for business."

"Thank you for the compliment, teacher."

Chu Feng said as he took out a Manchester United jersey from his bag, which was signed by all the Manchester United players and Mourinho, and then handed over a few tickets for the second round of the Champions League knockout round.

Paulson glanced down quickly and found that it was still the best VIP box, and the smile on his face became even more intense.

Who says foreign countries don’t practice social etiquette? — February 19th.

Stamford Bridge, FA Cup fifth round.

Chelsea vs. Manchester United! After six days of rest and adjustment, Mourinho sent out a 4-3-3 lineup, with Rashford, Chu Feng and Mahrez on the front line.

In midfield, Matic and Kante partner with McTominay.

The back line of defense includes Luke Shaw, Maguire, David Luiz and Ashley Young.

The goalkeeper is Romero.

It can barely be considered the main lineup.

Because Pogba, Valencia, De Gea and others have suffered injuries of varying degrees, Mourinho chose to let several people rest for a while in order to prepare for the League Cup final at the end of the month and the second round of the Champions League knockout round next month.

Compared with the previous one, Chelsea's lineup has basically not changed much, except that the center forward was replaced by Higuain from Giroud.

Beep!!! After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Chelsea made a fancy move, and the front players quickly advanced to the heart of Manchester United.

Then Rudiger kicked the ball towards that area.

Sarri has been smoking a lot recently and has studied a lot of tactics, hoping to steal a point at the beginning of the game by surprise.

It really worked.

Due to Kante's height and lack of air defense ability, he was strongly suppressed by Higuain and headed the ball.

But unfortunately, Hazard's follow-up shot was touched out of the baseline by David Luiz.

Wow!!! Chelsea fans became excited, waving their arms wildly and shouting at the top of their lungs.

In fact, the two teams have had many grievances over the past century. For example, in 2008, the first Champions League final in history was an English derby between Chelsea and Manchester United.

Terry's slip and Ronaldo's tears left an indelible mark in history.

In the 04-05 season, Manchester United lined up to welcome Chelsea to win the Premier League title ahead of schedule.

In recent years, the two teams have followed the same trajectory, gradually declining from their dazzling glory.

However, with Mourinho, who brought three Premier League trophies to Chelsea, taking over Manchester United, and Chu Feng who emerged in the "Second Year of Mourinho", the declining Manchester United was lifted up!

To be honest, Chelsea fans are envious, even to the point of jealousy.

They wanted to use failure to tell Mourinho that joining Manchester United was the wrong choice, but last season and this season, Manchester United never lost to Chelsea.

“Shhh!!!”

"Fuck Manchester United!"

"Judas, traitor!"

“.”

The powerful attack just now gave confidence to Chelsea fans who had turned from love to hate, so they all shouted harsh insults.

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

Mourinho listened slightly.

Compared to his rage last season, he seems very calm at this moment.

Because his feelings for Chelsea had long since disappeared without a trace, gone with the wind.

With the cheers of Chelsea fans, Chelsea's offensive on the field became more fierce. With midfielder Jorginho as the core, they pushed forward and kept looking for Higuain who was wandering in Manchester United's defense in the frontcourt.

The Little Smoker is a well-rounded center with good speed and footwork.

He can not only grab points in front of the goal, but also provide support, and he can also pull out of the penalty area to protect the ball and support teammates, and even directly intercept and participate in defense in the frontcourt.

It's just that none of his abilities are outstanding, so he was unable to compete with Benzema at the beginning.

After joining Serie A, he took to the field like a duck in water and won the Serie A Golden Boot and championship.

Now he has followed Sarri to Chelsea to tell those who criticized him that it is not him who is responsible for Messi’s failure to win the World Cup!

"Kovacic made a beautiful pass and Hazard broke through Ashley Young on the left!"

"Pass it horizontally to the front of the goal!"

"Higuain!"

Amid the hysterical shouts of Chelsea fans, Higuain seemed to have found the feeling of the World Cup and was directly intercepted by David Luiz who was trying to steal the ball.

“Fight back!”

David Luiz dribbled a few steps and yelled at the running Chu Feng! He is one of the best free kick players in the current football world, so there is no need to elaborate on his long pass skills.

Bang! The football crossed most of the field, spinning and landing accurately in front of Chu Feng.

He raised his knee and thigh high to unload the ball, and then kicked his right foot forward lightly. A rainbow seemed to appear on the green field.

"I've been fooled again!" Rudiger cursed in his heart, but his actions did not slow down at all.

He turned around, raised his right arm to hold Chu Feng's shoulder, and continued to pull with force with his hands.

Chu Feng felt the interference coming from behind, his core muscles tensed like steel, and he instantly burst out with powerful strength and speed!

Rudiger's eyes suddenly glared at him! He felt like he was being dragged by a raging rhinoceros. His body was constantly colliding and touching, and he soon lost his balance.

"One-on-one, pendulum, passing, and pushing into the empty goal!"

“The ball goes in!!!”

"Within 5 minutes of the game starting, Manchester United scored the first goal with a neat counterattack and Chu's unreasonable breakthrough!"

Stamford Bridge seemed to have turned into a library, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the wind.

Chu Feng ran to the away stand, raised his right hand towards the thousands of Manchester United fans, and threw a fierce uppercut! "Chu!!!"

"The pride of Old Trafford, the world has changed because of you!"

"When you stand on your own battlefield, you use your own way to knock down your opponent! Knock down!"

“.”

Manchester United fans sang the song written for Chu Feng.

They like this humble, serious and passionate player more and more, who has gone from the youth training camp to the first team and from a teenager to a young man.

"Awesome!" Chu Feng faced the crazy flashing spotlight and showed a mouthful of snow-white teeth!

From the first time he came into contact with football, he fell in love with the feeling of scoring a goal, as if the blood in his body was flowing faster.

"Why do we need a midfield? From now on, we can just drive our big feet to find Chu!"

Maguire ran over and screamed.

If you don’t know, you might think he was the one who scored the goal.

"If you can't speak, just shut up. No one thinks you are dumb!" Matic and McTominay said unhappily.

Even the usually shy Kante chimed in: "Without our midfield you'd be sifted through like a sieve, just like the streets of Manchester in the morning!"

Maguire looked at Chu Feng aggrievedly. A word he said unintentionally offended most of the players in the team.

"I think what N'Golo said makes sense." Chu Feng shrugged.

Chelsea players returned to their positions early, waiting for the game to resume in silence and frustration. Higuain remembered the bold words he had said to Jorginho before the game.

"He is the Premier League Golden Boot winner and I am the Serie A Golden Boot winner. If I had come to Chelsea at the beginning of the season, who knows who would win the Golden Boot this season!"

No wonder Jorginho had such a strange look in his eyes at the time.

Higuain felt tremendous pressure instantly, and then performed mediocrely in the following games. Otherwise, why do people say he is a coward?

But Chu Feng was the complete opposite, his state was extremely hot.

I didn't have a good time playing against Atletico Madrid a few days ago, but today I finally got a chance and rushed into Chelsea's defense! Before the first half was over, Rudiger was panting with his tongue out, like a tired loser.

Why does he feel stronger than before? Finally, in the 56th minute of the game, he inevitably let down his guard, and Chu Feng seized the opportunity to shoot, and the football hit the crossbar and bounced into the goal.

Scored twice!

He wanted to score a hat trick, but was replaced by Mourinho, "Boss, I haven't played enough!"

Chu Feng couldn't refuse to leave, but he was more or less dissatisfied.

"There will be the EFL Cup final in a few days, and the Premier League against Arsenal. I'll let you play the whole game then!"

Mourinho said helplessly.

Recently, he found that Chu Feng was abnormally excited and would get carried away from time to time, but he was clearly past puberty.

Didn't you see that the Chelsea players' eyes were already fierce? If they continued to play, they might get injured. It was better to leave this matter to Lukaku, who was thick-skinned and not afraid of injury.

"Okay." Chu Feng quickly calmed down.

As expected, Lukaku was targeted madly after he came on the pitch, but this also gave other teammates opportunities.

Rashford took advantage of the space created by Lukaku and broke into the penalty area and shot into the far corner in the 78th minute of the game, changing the score to 1:3.

A few minutes later.

Hazard and Higuain cooperated with each other through the wall, the former dribbled past the clumsy Maguire and lobbed the ball into the goal guarded by Romero.

Chelsea started to press high after gaining momentum.

"Pass it to me!"

Maguire moved forward a few steps, becoming the only passing point in the backcourt, and then shouted to Romero for the ball.

But Romero thought for less than half a second and decisively chose to kick the ball to the sideline.

The green field fell into silence instantly. Maguire widened his eyes in disbelief: "You don't believe me at all?"

"I'm afraid you'll catch it with your hands." Romero gave the most powerful reason, leaving Maguire speechless.

In the end, Manchester United held on to the score and defeated Chelsea to advance! (End of this chapter)
