I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 248: The League Finals

In the end, Manchester United lost 3:4 at the Louis II Stadium, but the team was not too disappointed with this score.

Of course, there is also a big factor because Manchester United players have no time to continue thinking about this game, because just 65 hours later, Manchester United will face the Blues Chelsea at Old Trafford and compete for the Premier League this season. League champions!

For both teams, this is a game that cannot be lost.

For Manchester United, as long as they win this home game, they can lift the sixteenth Premier League championship trophy in team history after the game, and then spend less energy in the league in the following games. It will help them compete for the Champions League trophy.

For Chelsea, this is their last chance to stop Manchester United. Although it is almost inevitable to fail the championship with Manchester United this season, they will never allow Manchester United to step on their shoulders and steal the championship.

Therefore, this is destined to be a real decisive battle!

………………

At noon local time in the United Kingdom, Manchester United fans from all over the world walked out of their homes and hotels, and gathered in their hearts at Old Trafford, the holy place in their hearts.

There is no suspense, the tickets for this game were sold out early, and many fans can only get tickets for the game through scalpers.

All the Manchester United fans were singing and dancing. They had no doubts about whether the team could beat Chelsea at home, so they came to celebrate the team's victory and cup.

A small number of Chelsea fans seemed a little depressed. Although they came to the away game to cheer for the team, they knew very well that their team would experience another failed season and would miss the Premier League title again.

In the memory of Chelsea fans, it seems that it has been a long time since the team won the championship last time.

In fact, this is also the case, because the team they supported last won the championship seven years ago in the 2009-2010 season.

In the long river of history, seven years may be just a short moment, but for a fan, seven years is a very long time.

………………

Of course, Chelsea fans feel that it has been a long time since their team won the championship, but Arsenal fans and Liverpool fans think that Chelsea fans are lucky enough, because when their team won the top league championship last time,

more distant.

For Arsenal fans, 13 years have passed since their beloved team won the 13th top league championship in team history!

For Liverpool fans, it has been 27 years since their team won the English top league championship last time, which is two years longer than the history of the Premier League!

What makes them even more sad is that with Manchester United's current state, this dark age seems to have no sign of ending.

Originally, when the old Scottish man left Old Trafford, whether it was Chelsea fans, Arsenal fans, or Liverpool fans, there was a feeling of dawn.

In the season that the old man left, it turned out that they were right, and they really became a strong contender for the championship.

Although the three clubs all fell short in the championship battle, they really felt that the championship was getting closer and closer to them.

However, the fans of these clubs did not expect that at the end of that season, an incident would push them into the abyss of despair again.

That was the young Oriental who was only 29 years old. After 35 rounds of that season, he temporarily replaced the "genius coach" Moyes who was dismissed from get out of class and entered Old Trafford.

At that time, many fans of these three clubs also joked online that they should launch an action to protect Moyes, but they did not expect that it would become a prophecy. How good it would be to stay at Manchester United.

………………

At 2:55 in the afternoon, players from both sides appeared on the stage amidst the applause and boos of more than 75,000 fans at Old Trafford.

Chelsea wore a blue jersey and played the 343 formation that Conte is good at.

The goalkeeper is Begovic, the three central defenders are Cahill, David Luiz and Zouma, the four midfielders are Azpilicueta, Matic, Cesc Fabregas and Moses, and the striker trident is Argentine. Zall, Diego Costa and Pedro.

This is Chelsea's main lineup this season. In order to delay Manchester United's championship date, Conte is doing his best.

Manchester United also sent their main players to play in this game. The goalkeeper arranged for De Gea to start, and the defense line is a combination of Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker, plus midfielder Kanter, Manchester United's entire defensive lineup and three days ago. Monaco's lineup is the same.

Although 65 hours, excluding the travel time in the middle, is not enough to restore the physical fitness of these players to their best, but they are still young after all, and their physical fitness recovers quickly, so they can be regarded as able to cope with this game.

However, Manchester United's rotation in the midfield is very large. De Bruyne, who started the away game against Monaco, sat on the bench, and Mata and Bruno Fernandez partnered in the attacking midfielder. The striker trident is also fully rotated, with Vardy, Ibrahimovic and Rooney playing in rotation.

This is also the strongest lineup that Manchester United can currently arrange.

Chelsea adopts a three-back style of play. Facing Manchester United's four-three-three winger tactics, it still suffers somewhat, especially in the defense of the two wings. We will have to wait until the game to see how Chelsea arranges.

The referee of this game is the Premier League whistler Clattenburg. He is a referee with very rich experience in law enforcement. He told the players on both sides very clearly in the pre-match player channel that what he hopes to get is a game. Smooth game, I hope players on both sides can enjoy the fun of the game.

Ibrahimovic stood silently at the end of the Manchester United queue, slowly adjusting his emotions, allowing himself to gradually enter the state of the game.

The head coach Ye Su said that the first half will end the battle!

………………

At the corner area on the left side of Chelsea's half, Rooney put down the football lightly, stepped on the turf behind the ball, slowly backed away a few steps, stood upright, and looked straight ahead.

In the penalty area, several of Manchester United's players with high points and outstanding header ability have already stood in their respective positions.

Chelsea's defensive players are also pestering Manchester United's players as if they are facing an enemy. There are always some small harassment moves on hand, which makes the penalty area look chaotic.

In the stands of Old Trafford, every fan had a tense and dignified look on their faces.

It was the seventh minute of the game and United, unsurprisingly, had control of the situation and the ball from the start.

Chelsea retreated steadily in their own half, allowing Manchester United to attack, and they seized the opportunity to fight back.

Since Chelsea adopts a three-back defensive position, this makes their wing defenses relatively weak. The two wings composed of Luke Shaw and Vardy, Kyle Walker and Rooney are more threatening.

In just seven minutes of the game, Manchester United had already won three corner kicks.

The previous two times, one left and one right, were all taken by Mata. Without exception, Manchester United's corner kicks failed to create a threat. Chelsea obviously arranged for corner kicks.

In the seventh minute, Manchester United won the third time. Rooney took the initiative to ask for a change. After discussing with Mata, he took the corner kick.

In the past two seasons, Rooney has rarely taken corner kicks, but this does not mean that his ability to take corner kicks is poor. It is more due to the club's professional division of labor. The coaching staff believes that it is more convenient for Rooney to stay near the penalty area. threaten.

But fans who are familiar with Manchester United will be familiar with it. In Ye Su's first season at Manchester United, Rooney's corner kicks have frequently made contributions in Manchester United's games. So, when Rooney stood in the corner, the Manchester United fans immediately cheered.

………………

Rooney could clearly feel that the live broadcast camera behind him was always aimed at him.

He heard the cheers from the fans in the stands, which was encouraging but also stressful.

To become the number one football player in the world today, one must be able to bear this pressure.

He exhaled heavily, slowly raised his right hand, and pointed his index finger to the sky, as if saying something.

It took everyone's breath away, both on and off the pitch.

No one knows what that means, except the Manchester United players.

This is Manchester United's corner kick tactics in daily training. It seems to be one, but it is actually two. The index finger is the second finger, which represents the second set of corner kick tactics in Ye Su's training.

After the referee blew his whistle, Rooney took a deep breath and jumped out quickly, every step he took was very steady and powerful.

After the left foot stood on the left side of the football, the body formed a specific angle with the football, and the right foot popped out quickly like a bowstring, touching the football.

There was a muffled sound like an air explosion, and the ball flew out with lightning speed. The arc is not high, but the ball speed is very fast.

In the penalty area, players from both sides became a mess. Ibrahimovic, Maguire, Van Dijk and others all used their running positions and runs to interfere and attract Chelsea players' defense.

But Bruno Fernandez suddenly retreated to the penalty spot before Rooney made a free throw, and then suddenly advanced quickly to catch up with the previous point.

By the time Chelsea's defenders realized the danger of Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese midfielder was already in front of the goal, diving to the top, and Rooney's cross was headed into the goal guarded by Begovic.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLL!!!!!! Manchester United scored the first goal in the seventh minute!"

"Bruno! Bruno Fernandes scored the crucial goal! It's a corner assist from Rooneyang!"

"The quality of the corner kick was very high, Wayne Rooney landed almost on the head of Bruno Fernandes, after the Portuguese midfielder made a head, the ball changed direction and crashed into the goal. Begovic even There's no time to react."

Bruno Fernandez slammed his fists on the turf after seeing the header scored, jumped up from the ground, ran towards Rooney quickly, and hugged Rooney directly.

The two cheered wildly on the sidelines, shouting at the live camera and the Manchester United fans in the stands. Behind them, Manchester United's players also rushed out and surrounded them.

"This goal is too critical! Anyone who is familiar with football knows that in such a critical final, whoever scores the goal first will be able to control the initiative. Manchester United scored in just seven minutes in the opening game, which can be said to be great. To everyone's surprise. But that's football!"

"Rooney's corner kick is quite superb. The level of this corner kick is very high, and Bruno Fernandez seems to cooperate with him very well. After getting rid of the defender with a feint shot, he quickly chased forward and scored with a header."

"1:0, Manchester United at home temporarily takes the lead!"

………………

Conte grabbed his head hard, feeling as if he wanted to tear his hair out. He kept shouting at the players on the field, hoping that they could calm down.

For Chelsea, this Premier League is the final!

Conte immediately walked to the sidelines and made adjustments, hoping that the players could stabilize. At the same time, he also signaled that the left and right wings of Azpilicueta and Moses should retreat appropriately to help defend the two wings of the backcourt and stabilize their positions first. Besides.

Manchester United obviously knew Chelsea's wishful thinking and did not intend to just let the opponent go back like this.

Before the game, the Manchester United players knew the head coach's arrangements for this game. Ye Su's strategy was to take advantage of the victory and pursue, trying to end the battle in the first half.

This is a very wise choice, the main reason is that most of the players in Manchester United's starting lineup only fought fiercely with their opponents in Monaco for 90 minutes on Wednesday night, and their physical fitness is indeed not as good as that of Chelsea. Unfavorable, so we must gain enough advantage in the first half.

If there is no way to establish a sufficient lead in the first half, then the strategy and style of play must be changed in the second half, leaving enough room for retreat.

After taking a one-goal lead, Manchester United continued to press in the midfield. Especially in the defense against Cesc Fabregas, the defensive midfielder Kanter and the forward midfielder Bruno Fell are like a wall, blocking the Spanish midfielder firmly.

Especially Bruno Fernandez, the Portuguese teenager, in the 14th minute, when Fabregas wanted to break through with the ball, he suddenly made a fierce shovel and directly knocked the Spanish midfielder to the ground. .

The referee Clattenburg clearly gave a yellow card, and the Manchester United teenager did not argue, smiled at Clattenburg and backed away.

This is the one he gave to Fabregas. The action looks fierce and lethal. In fact, no one will be injured at all, but it is very deterrent.
