I am the king of football

Chapter 484: The Transformation of the Blue Army

As the game progressed minute by minute, Chelsea fans in the stands began to cheer loudly again to support the team. Thirty minutes into the game, the Blues, who had abandoned their opening style of play, did make several good attacks.

However, the Manchester United defense, which was on high alert, did not give them any chance to threaten the ball. The cooperation between Fletcher and Fellaini became more and more tacit, and both of them had the ability to pass the ball forward. Chelsea's midfield attack did not dare to completely suppress the opponent every time. One of Lampard or Osk had to be careful of the opponent's counterattack at any time.

Relying solely on Hazard's breakthrough ability is obviously not enough. Evra, the experienced veteran, defended very tightly. He only gave Hazard the occasional opportunity to create space and pass the ball. The rest was quite difficult.

In the 40th minute of the game, when Hazard tried to break through again and failed and directly bumped into Evra and fell to the ground, the young genius was a little overwhelmed. After getting up, he pushed Evra in anger, which earned him a yellow card.

"Hazard is still too young. Facing the experienced and in-form Evra, his temper has been completely aroused."

Zhan Jun also shook his head. In this Chelsea team, Hazard is definitely a top talent, otherwise there wouldn't be the story of the team winning the Europa League after failing in the Champions League and the league. But it is obvious that the young player still lacks experience.

When the game opened up again and Manchester United kicked the ball, Chelsea did not create any chances because of their mentality problems on the left side. They controlled the ball at Manchester United for several minutes before taking it away, and ultimately did not score an equalizer in the first half.

The players of both teams returned to the locker room with different mentalities. The Manchester United team, which was temporarily leading by one goal, was in high spirits, while the Blues team, which was defeated by the opponent in a head-on collision and was at a disadvantage, returned to the locker room under the leadership of Mourinho with a stern face.

Back in the locker room, Ferguson naturally didn't have much to say to his players. In his opinion, after two consecutive league victories, his players had gradually got into the form, and as long as they could maintain that in the second half, victory would be theirs.

As for Mourinho, the madman started to scold fiercely in the locker room. He was not satisfied with the team's defense and offense, especially when neither of them was effective and he received two yellow cards instead.

"Use your brain to play football, use your brain! Don't let your emotions control your brain. This is unchampionship and unprofessional."

Patting the folder in his hand, Mourinho even took a special look at Hazard. This young player usually has a good temper, and he didn't expect that he would explode today.

"In the second half, Hazard and Schurrle swapped positions, and then you continue to do what you should do, try to break through and create opportunities, believe in yourself, you have the ability to do it all."

Mourinho did it very skillfully, and Hazard nodded repeatedly. Young people need some encouragement and recognition, which is unchanging.

Mourinho then turned his attention to the team's midfielders and singled out the team's captain, Lampard.

"In the second half, Frank, you should be bold enough to make a run when the team is attacking and threaten the opponent's goal with your long shots. Don't be timid. We are already 0-1 behind. Defense is not that important. The most important thing is to equalize the score as soon as possible."

"Understand coach!"

After nodding, Kuang Tian looked at the entire team.

“I believe you didn’t come here for the second place. Now we are behind. Let me see your attitude in the second half. Don’t let down the fans who support you!!!”

"understand!"

The halftime break passed quietly, and the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel again. Manchester United, still confident and proud, and Chelsea, inspired by the madman's words, missed their championship trophy again. A new 45 minutes arrived, and the battle continued.

"Shhh!!!"

"Okay, Torres kicked the ball. The center forward played very averagely in the first half of this game. He didn't get any good chances. I hope he can change in the second half."

Toni, this is the most intimate name given to him by the fans. In the hearts of Chelsea fans, he is the best striker of the team today. In last season's Europa League final, it was his goal that helped the team break the deadlock and ultimately secure the victory.

In the first half of the game, Torres was also trying hard to find opportunities, but the help he received was too little, not to mention that Hazard gradually became too excited and hardly cooperated with him.

However, everything was different after the start of the second half. The position swap between Schurrle and Hazard was definitely a brilliant move. Compared with Evra, Rafael's defensive ability and experience were obviously inferior, and Hazard also changed his thinking. He was no longer obsessed with successful breakthroughs, but was committed to creating good opportunities for his teammates.

As the game gradually opened up and entered the fifty-minute mark, Hazard ran all the way along the wing after a one-two combination with Oscar. Before Rafael came up to defend, he made a direct pass to the middle.

"A beautiful pass, after pulling apart the opponent's defense, Torres finally turned sideways and used his chest to take the ball off, and scored a point for Lampard who was inserted in the middle, and the blue light shot directly!!!"

"Oh!"

Lampard's shot was perfect with great force and from a tricky angle. It would have been even better if Fellaini hadn't been standing beside him with a grin on his face, pushing him hard at the moment of his shot.

"De Gea saved the ball! Fellaini's interference was very successful. The young Manchester United player seemed to have endless energy~"

After De Gea flew and hit the ball out of the baseline, all the fans at the scene exclaimed. Chelsea's performance changed directly after the start of the second half, which made the game confusing again.

"That's it, use your abilities to defeat them!"

In the coaching area on the sidelines, the energetic Mourinho waved his fist excitedly. He was very satisfied with the team's transformation after the start of the second half.

"Don't panic, keep your defense steady, don't give No. 9 a chance to touch the ball!"

Ferguson on the other side was not idle either. He was calm and composed before, but began to shout to remind his disciples on the field to be careful. The Manchester United players were also not vague and retreated back to provide protection in the subsequent corner kick defense.

When Oscar kicked the ball out of the corner, Torres was lost in the double-team of Fellaini and Vidic. The ball was finally cleared by Ferdinand on the side, and the game entered the 60th minute.
