Chapter 668 The Powerful Blue Army

"A very crucial goal!"

"In the first 15 minutes, Chelsea did take the initiative, and the ball possession rate even reached 70.00%[-]. However, although the Blues had the ball possession rate, they failed to convert it into an effective offense."

"Manchester United quickly counterattacked in the game after overcoming the pressure of the first 15 minutes. In the next 6 minutes, Manchester United played many very threatening attacks."

"Before Yin Jun recently, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo had had excellent chances in a row, but Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot was once high under Terry's interference, and once it hit the crossbar, and Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot made Chelsea fans break out in a cold sweat!"

"And this time, Manchester United's cooperation on the left was very delicate, with continuous passing cooperation, and Evra crossed to find Cristiano Ronaldo who retreated."

"The Portuguese's header is also very comfortable, but the most important thing is Yin Jun's stop. Under the pincers of Gremi and Essien, Yin Jun stopped the ball and dunked the ball. Essien, the right-footed curve ball hit the goal, the whole process reflects Manchester United's targeted offensive routines, as well as Yin Jun's outstanding personal ability."

"Right now, the game is pretty bad for Chelsea."

………………

At this time, the live TV camera also pointed at the rich Russian owner of Chelsea who was in the stands to watch the game in person.Abramovich's face was livid, obviously not satisfied with the development of the game situation.

If Chelsea had the upper hand in the first 15 minutes, then in the next few minutes, Manchester United played a very threatening attack. This is definitely a big test for the Blues.

The most eye-catching one is of course Yin Jun, this Chinese almost changed the trend of the game by himself.Because of being rejected many times in a row, even if the Russian rich man doesn't like him at all, he has to admit that Yin Jun's goal is very beautiful.

Mourinho also frowned, because he found that Ferguson's tactics tightly strangled Chelsea's seven inches.

In this game, the Blues lacked wide players, and the center was too crowded. The positions of Drogba and Crespo overlapped a lot. Ferreira, Makelele, Lampard and Essien were not clear in the midfield. division of labor and cooperation.This makes Chelsea look very strong, but in fact they are too bloated and inefficient.

Seven's possession rate was 70.00%, but he failed to play a threatening attack. On the contrary, Manchester United created threats continuously in six 7 minutes, and the attack speed was also quite sharp.

In particular, Yin Jun, the core midfielder of Manchester United, not only helped Manchester United organize several high-quality quick counterattacks, but also helped Manchester United score a goal to break the deadlock at critical moments, which was too difficult to deal with.

It will be the biggest test for the Blues if Chelsea fail to equalize before the end of the first half.

But how to break Manchester United's tactical play?

Ferguson's team has a balanced offense and defense and is very comprehensive. The tactics themselves are mainly defensive counterattacks.Once the pressure is too high, Manchester United's quick counterattack will threaten Chelsea's goal time and time again.

How to do?
………………

After Yin Jun's goal, the game is still developing in a direction favorable to Manchester United.With the help of Yin Jun's super ball-handling ability and excellent passing ability, Manchester United's quick counterattack flourished.

The two wings of Manchester United, the young and energetic Ronaldo and Rooney are very threatening to Chelsea's goal. The Portuguese even wore Gremi's crotch once, and after rushing into the penalty area with the ball, he picked up a pass and assisted Rooney, but the latter The door was missed.

But just when everyone thought that Manchester United would end the first half with a score of 1:0, two minutes into No. 40, Chelsea suddenly launched an offensive.

Makelele crossed into the penalty area diagonally from the left, Gary Neville made a header error, and Drogba headed into the empty goal from 15 yards in the middle before the attacking Ray van der Sar, the Blues rewritten the score to 1:1 !

United's players were somewhat dismayed when referee Graham Ball blew the whistle to end the first half.It was supposed to lead by one goal, but it turned out to be scored before the end. Anyone who changed it would be a little emotional.

In this regard, Yin Jun is also very helpless.The hard power of this Chelsea team is definitely above Manchester United. When playing against them, Yin Jun is mentally prepared to concede a goal at any time.But when he really conceded the goal, he still felt disappointed.

………………

After a 15 minutes intermission, the second half of the game resumes.

Mourinho took the lead in making personnel adjustments. He replaced the game's starting left-back Del Horno with the Dutchman Robben nicknamed Peter Pan, and the Portuguese Ferreira was moved to the left-back position.

Obviously, Mourinho is aware that in the face of Manchester United's sharp attack on the wing, if they do not respond, their defense in the second half may face tremendous pressure.Therefore, Chelsea must strengthen its offensive power on the wing and press Manchester United back on the wing.

After being brought to the Stamford Bridge Stadium by Mourinho in the summer of 2004, the Portuguese has been on the decline. From the beginning of the main force to the bench, he only spent more than one season. Abandon him and choose Gallas, Gremi, Belletti and others.But Ferreira didn't give up, he still showed conscientiousness in training and limited game time, and the long-term substitute has cultivated his versatility and adaptability. In addition to his job right back, he can also play left back or even central back .

But at this moment, this defensive jack-of-all-trades was used by Mourinho as a left-back.

And Peter Pan Robbie, who came off the bench, has gradually become a controversial figure on the field this season. In January, Robben was sent off for two yellows and one red against Sunderland, and then was sent off for a clash with goalkeeper Reina in a match against Liverpool. The latter slammed as an "Oscar actor". In March, Robben viciously violated Greening in the game against West Brom and was sent off. After the game, he was suspended by the FA for 1 games

However, it has to be said that the strength of the Dutch is beyond doubt.His appearance has significantly improved Chelsea's offense.

After coming off the bench, Robben appeared in the position of right midfielder, that is, on the same side as Gremi.Mourinho's meaning is very clear, that is to fight Manchester United to the death on the strong side of Manchester United composed of Ronaldo and Evra.
