Chapter 496: No, buddy, you have inverse feet?
In this game, Manchester United only fielded half of their main players.
It's completely different from Mourinho's determination before the game.
In fact, there is a reason for this.
Although Mourinho attaches great importance to this game, he attaches even more importance to the European Super Cup game a few days later.
After all, that game was a European championship, and the opponent was Real Madrid, so it was very important.
Therefore, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Carrick and other veterans have not entered the main roster.
This game is still 4-2-3-1.
Goalkeeper De Gea,
Back four Luke Shaw, Smalling, Phil Jones, Damian,
Double defensive midfielder Pogba and Matic,
The three front midfielders are Xia Xing, Lingard and Mkhitaryan.
Center Lukaku.
This starting lineup looks very young.
Of course, it's also more impactful.
Especially facing the oppressive Chelsea coached by Conte, tit for tat.
Conte still uses a three-back formation today, which is the way he is good at arranging his troops.
Goalkeeper Courtois,
Three defenders: Gary Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta,
Midfield four: Marcos Alonso, Bakayoko, Kante, Drinkwater,
Attacking midfielder Cesc Fabregas,
Double forwards Hazard and Morata.
This lineup is very unique.
Especially the trio, each with their own strengths.
Cesc Fabregas' passing and long shots, Hazard's dribbling and ball control, Morata's movement and final blow.
If the three of them can show their strength, they will definitely be the top trident.
However, judging from their performance in pre-season friendly matches, the three are still getting used to each other.
Not only are there some problems with the coordination of the three, but the three of them are not in very good condition.
For example, Hazard is involved in rumors about moving to Real Madrid and is obviously mentally unstable. Moreover, the transfer window has not yet closed, so anything is possible.
Cesc Fabregas was not bad but Conte asked him to try closer to the goal and he is still getting used to it.
Since Morata transferred to the Blues, he has not yet shown the strength of a top center, and his shots are sometimes ineffective.
But even so, Conte still has great expectations for him.
After all, he spent a lot of money to buy a center, so he can't let it go to waste.
In the midfield position, a new pair made their debut.
Former Leicester City midfielder duo-Kante and Drinkwater.
On the court, the two of them walked in the direction of Manchester United and greeted Xia Xing enthusiastically.
Xia Xing also trotted over and hugged the two of them tightly.
"Xia!"
"guys!"
Looking at Kanter and Drinkwater in front of him, Xia Xing was speechless.
"I really didn't expect that both of you guys have joined Chelsea. One is the best defensive midfielder in the world, and the other is the top all-around midfielder in the Premier League. If you two are combined together, it will be difficult for Chelsea to play in the new season."
"Stop talking nonsense, if Manchester United has you, it is equivalent to poaching half of Leicester City's team."
"Exaggerated..."
"You are even more exaggerating. Where is the best defensive midfielder in the world and the top all-around midfielder in the Premier League?"
"Well, the statement that he is the best defensive midfielder in the world is indeed a bit excessive, but the statement that he is the top all-around midfielder in the Premier League is okay."
"..."
"Hahahaha!"
The three brothers were smiling together, and they even forgot that they would soon become rivals, fighting each other with swords.
Those blue years of Leicester City were really wonderful for them...
After the warm-up time was over, they took a short break in the locker room and then the two sides returned to the field.
The head coach's whistle sounds and the game officially begins!
Chelsea took the lead in kicking off the ball. They passed the ball in the midfield and handed the ball to Hazard.
Although Fabregas is the core of Chelsea's frontcourt passing and is responsible for distributing the ball, Hazard is still the soul of Chelsea in the hearts of his teammates.Hazard, once known as "the third man under Melo", his strength should not be underestimated.
Excellent in passing and shooting, and dribbling at a super level, this kind of star is top-notch in the Premier League.
Taking the ball on the left, he passed directly past Pogba who was attacking.
In the defensive midfielder position, Pogba was quite defensive today.
But even so, he failed to intercept the ball at Hazard's feet.
Hazard advances quickly on the left!
Damian goes for it!
Hazard cuts inside decisively!
Damian couldn't keep up with the speed in this small area!
And Hazard didn't get greedy and continued walking in. He kicked off the goal line and shot into the far corner!
I chose the outer instep of my left foot to tease!
This shot is very hidden!
De Gea fought hard to save and hit the ball with both fists!
This shot was beautiful, and this save was equally wonderful!
2 minutes later, it was Hazard's wing attack again.
This time he directly chose to take the middle road and advance quickly!
Both Mkhitaryan and Lingard who were chasing after him were passed by him in succession!
Facing Matic's physical confrontation, Hazard once again used Lingbo Weibu!
Matic missed the point!
Although the Serbian midfielder quickly chased back and did not let Hazard run too far, it also gave the opponent a chance to shoot!
Let's take a long shot!
The arc angle of this shot is extremely high!
Go straight to the far corner!
It was De Gea who chose his position in advance again and steadily pushed the ball over the crossbar!
Chelsea missed a goal again!
After two consecutive shots, the faces of Manchester United's defensive players were a bit ugly.
In the following period, their defense against Hazard increased significantly, and physical confrontation also increased.
Although Hazard is not weak physically, he is still worse than tough guys like Matic and Smalling.
During this period, he had no chance to move forward or attack the goal.
But even so, he is still working hard to create opportunities.
In the 11th minute of the game, Hazard created another crossing opportunity.
Because Smalling's forward pressure prevented Hazard's forward penetration, it gave Morata an opportunity to take advantage.
When Hazard was in possession of the ball, Morata had already begun to accelerate!
Phil Jones was left behind!
Hazard passes the ball at the right time!
Morata pushed with his right foot in the penalty area!
The ball went wide of the goal.
Manchester United escaped.
Five minutes later, Morata got another chance.
This time it was Manchester United's corner kick defense, and even Lukaku returned to the penalty area to help fight for high points.
And this time he did get it.
The ball was tapped!
But the second point is still at the feet of Chelsea players!
It's Morata!
During the header challenge just now, Morata was not in front of the penalty area.
Although he is tall, his header is not particularly good, and his footwork is better.
So he has been waiting for the opportunity outside the crowd.
Now, here's your chance!
The ball flew in front of him!
Morata volleyed!
The left foot is fully exerted!
hit high.
The ball flew into the stands, and Manchester United fans booed.
Such a good opportunity, even Xia Xing felt a little pity for Morata.
And Lukaku even trotted over, his face full of disbelief.
"Just now you pushed with your right foot and missed.
“Now you volley with your left foot, high.
"No, buddy, do you have inverse feet?"
