Chapter 492 The king is in danger!
Chapter 492 The King is in danger!
After attending the pre-match press conference, Yaldim returned to the visiting team locker room at Old Trafford Stadium and began to give his players the final tips...
"We must minimize mistakes in today's game! Especially in terms of defense, our defensive work is not doing well at the moment, but the schedule has begun to become more intense, and we have no time to readjust."
After the start of this season, the "Blue Army"'s defense line is really not stable. They have conceded 8 goals at present, but they have just played four games in the league. In addition to the 0-0 game with Leicester away, it would be fine to concede the ball against Liverpool and Arsenal, but even against Huddersfield, Chelsea also conceded the ball!
The problem is that Chelsea’s current defense line is not bad!
Upamecono, Skriniar, Azpilicueta, Augustinson, and Kante, who is at the peak of the golden age, judging from the "Blue Army" defensive lineup, it is not easy for any opponent to break through their defense, but the result is... it seems that anyone can score their goal!
But goalkeeper Courtois's performance is not bad, and his performance in every game is very steady!
This situation made Yardiim scratch his head even more. He didn't even know how to adjust his team's defense line. After all, these players did not make obvious mistakes in the game. Even Yardiim didn't see what went wrong in defense!
After reminding the players to pay attention to the team's defense, Yaldim continued: "In addition to the efforts to defend, I have also said before that Manchester United's attack power is very strong, and it is almost impossible to not even want them to score goals! So if we rely solely on defense, we will definitely not have any chance to win the game, and we must also strengthen our offense, especially pay attention to seizing fleeting opportunities! When the opportunity comes out, don't hesitate, shoot when it is time to shoot, be more determined and more decisive!"
Lewandowski, Lemar, Leon Bailey, and Hamien Harriet nodded together... The four of them were Chelsea's offensive lineup in today's game. Lewandowski was at the front, Lemar, Harriet, and Leon Bailey lined up from left to right behind him, and they would provide shells to Polish shooters.
In the midfield, Yaldim only arranged two people, Sergei and Kante, both of whom are all-around midfielders who can attack and defend. The two of them can not only provide enough protection for the defense line, but also organize the team's offense a little. Of course, most of the time, they both play the role of "transfer station".
The atmosphere in the away team's locker room was solemn, and the home team's locker room seemed very relaxed. After Manchester United players came to the familiar home team's locker room of Old Trafford, they were chatting and laughing. Even Solskjaer did not stop him from coming back from the pre-match press conference. He just went to find Yang Xiaozhuang...
"Yang, how do you feel today?"
Yang Xiaozhuang laughed and said, "Boss, don't worry, no problem!"
Hearing such confident words from Manchester United's "King", Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also laughed and patted Yang Xiaozhuang on the shoulder: "Yang, come on!"
“OK!”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer turned and left, and then went to talk to coaches such as Rui Faria about Chelsea's roster to see if anyone needs to pay more attention.
Overall, whether it is the head coach, assistant coach, and every player, everyone is in a stable mood, in a stable state, and in a stable mentality... It's just a stable situation!
After all... The "Red Devils" have dominated the Premier League for three consecutive years, and have also dominated the entire European football world for three consecutive years!
For Manchester United, today's Chelsea game is just a Premier League game, and there is nothing special. Manchester United players who have long been used to big scenes will not care about who the opponent is. It should even be said that... the opponent just needs to know that this game is playing against the "Red Devils".
In fact, the Manchester United team is still very young. The oldest De Gea is only 29 years old and the younger one... there are three people, including Adam Myers, Jack Bailey, and Rayford, and they are only 17 years old!
Even the team's captain "God Yang" is only 20 years old, but this young team has really seen countless big scenes, and they are even confident enough to continue to dominate the Premier League. So... what's wrong with Chelsea?
Manchester United players are very confident, but they are also very clear about the current situation in the Premier League. Among the twenty teams... no, it should be said that among the nineteen opponents, there are not none of them who can challenge Manchester United!
But there is and only one opponent... Guardiola's Manchester City!
At present, the only one who can challenge Manchester United, or who should be qualified to challenge Manchester United's throne, is the only one who has won the league runner-up three times in the past three years!
Although Manchester United has absolute confidence and is not that arrogant and arrogant, they do not underestimate the "Blue Army" in front of them, but after long-term confidence, it is inevitable...there will be negligent in some details.
Because they didn't know Chelsea very well, Manchester United still conducted some cautious tests after the game started, and they did not start the attack gradually after 10 minutes...
In the 11th minute, Yang Xiaozhuang received a long pass from the fatty boy Adam Myers in front of the penalty area on the right, but he was about to drive the ball into the Chelsea penalty area. Chelsea's left-back Augustinson and central defender Upamecono had already arrived in front of him, and... there was a Shikriniar in the penalty area in the middle and also retreated!
Chelsea's defense line retreats in a timely manner, so Yang Xiaozhuang would not have a good chance. Even if he wants to drive the ball into the opponent's penalty area, he may not use tactical fouls to intercept the opponent.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In desperation, Yang Xiaozhuang pushed the ball horizontally to the right, rushed forward and forced himself to get rid of Augustine. When he wanted to send a cross, he found that his teammates had not followed him yet, so he wanted to shoot directly in the direction of the goal... Unfortunately, the ball flew out of the crossbar in the air.
Because Chelsea played away in this game, the tactics that Jaldim arranged for the team were defensive counterattacks, but they were completely different from the defensive counterattacks that Conte had coached before. The Portuguese head coach's skills in details are still worthy of recognition.
In the 15th minute, Chelsea played the most threatening attack in this game...
After receiving the ball blocked by Upamecono, left back Augustinson dribbled the ball from the left and ran forward a few steps, then passed the ball with a diagonal pass to Lewandowski in the middle circle.
Although the Polish scorer's job is to score goals, he is now 32 years old, and his overall situation is also very obvious. When he received the ball, he signaled the Moroccan midfielder Harriet who followed behind him to continue rushing forward, and then Lewandon received the ball, turned around, and passed it "bang" and kicked the ball directly to the right side of the top of the arc.
Harriet's speed is not fast. His main advantage is his good skills and excellent offensive awareness, which made him the team's frontcourt core when Schalke 04.
While running forward, Harriet also took a diagonal line. In addition, Lewand's pass line selection was very smart, which made Harriet, who was not very fast, catch up with the ball before the chase back Tuanzebe, and took the ball forward and entered the Manchester United penalty area.
Bang!
When Tuanzebe caught up and prepared to tackle, Harriet finally completed the shot, but due to interference, the angle of this shot was not tricky, so he just knocked De Gea out with both fists!
It seems that this attack has made Chelsea who are playing away. Just four minutes later, when the home fans at Old Trafford were still glad for the danger just now, the "Blue Army" made a comeback.
This time, Chelsea's offense played a very exciting routine...
After Augustinson dribbled the ball from the left, he found that there was no chance of crossing, so he passed the ball back to Sergei.
The Serbian star pushed Harriet horizontally from the left penalty area again. The Moroccan star suddenly flashed at this moment. He stretched out his toes and made the ball jump up. Then, with his back to the goal, he turned around and kicked the ball directly into Manchester United's right penalty area.
Originally, both players were about to withdraw from the penalty area, Belgian star Leon Pele saw the ball passing and rushed back immediately, and kicked the ball horizontally near the free throw point without stopping.
At this time... Polish scorer Lewandowski rushed out of the crowd. It seemed that he had a premonition that the ball would have a chance. He kicked the ball into the upper left corner of Manchester United's goal before everyone.
"ah--"
De Gea jumped up and saved the ball, but the angle of the ball was really tricky, and it was impossible for him to touch the ball!
However, because the angle was so tricky, the ball eventually hit the left goal post and bounced back into the penalty area on the left.
Bang!
Lemar rushed to the landing point, kicked the ball to Manchester United goal again, but the result... the luck was so bad!
De Gea had just gotten up from the lawn and his legs were not standing straight yet. As a result, the ball flew in front of him again, so he rushed forward again and held the ball firmly in his arms...
"Oh————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Chelsea's attack, these two shots... are simply too threatening. They seem to be able to score goals at any time. Fortunately, we are lucky, and the goal and De Gea saved the team in succession."
During this time, I stood up with the ball in my arms again, and even walked to the goal post, kissed my good "companion" enthusiastically... Luckily!
The "Blue Army" who missed two consecutive chances to score has also retreated to its half, but the faces of each player were gloomy... How rare is such an excellent goal opportunity!
What's more, it happened twice in just a few seconds, but in the end... it didn't even score a goal!
