Chapter 1934 Another Asian Derby? Maya Yoshida: I will defeat him!
5 month 16 day.
Chelsea hosts Watford, who are ranked 16th in the league.
Although they are a team in the relegation zone, Watford is still very stable.
Of course, Chelsea, who are playing at home this time, naturally don't want to give them a chance.
In just 22 minutes, captain Terry opened Watford's goal with a header.
However, after the kick-off, Capoue equalized the score with a long shot in the 24th minute.
Immediately afterwards, future Chelsea captain Azpilicueta transformed into a defender with a knife, entered the penalty area and scored with a powerful shot.
Helped Chelsea lead 2-1 in the first half!
In the second half, the game changed sides and Chelsea's offensive continued.
In the 49th minute, Hummels made a beautiful long pass and accurately found Batshuayi on the front line.
The latter easily pushed and scored, extending the score to 3-1!
But in the 51st minute, Janmatt scored again, reducing the score to 3-2!
Chelsea fans are anxious to death...
What happened to this Watford team? Was he on drugs?
Why so fierce?
Just when Chelsea fans were anxious, Watford scored again.
In the 71st minute, Okaka replaced striker Niang.
Who knows, just three minutes later, Okaka broke through the door guarded by Oblak with a ground-breaking slash.
The score came to an incredible 3-3!
Could it be that Chelsea's title race is about to end prematurely?
Just when all Chelsea fans were nervous, the former Arsenal youth captain, Zhong Yifa, Cesc Fabregas stood up.
In the 88th minute, Fabregas made the final decision!
In the end, the score was locked at Chelsea 4-3 Watford!
Who would have thought that a game that everyone said before the game would have no suspense would almost have an accident.
This has also attracted great attention from Manchester United.
After all, Southampton is stronger than Watford in terms of ranking and paper strength.
Of course, like the last game, Manchester United also made a certain degree of rotation today.
Modric took the field in the midfield, and Valencia, Lukaku and other players who rested in the previous game also played.
But what remains unchanged are Ye Chen and De Bruyne in the frontcourt.
Only when they are all on the court can Mourinho really feel at ease.
The time is locked at 4:17 pm on April 8, local time in England!
In China, you have to wait until 2:45 in the morning to watch this game!
To be honest, even die-hard fans and Chelsea fans will not watch this game.
Before the game, Chelsea captain Terry also joked in an interview, "Our whole team is a fan of Southampton. I hope they can beat Manchester United at home!"
Many sincere words are often expressed in a joking manner.
Of course, De Gea no longer needs a clean sheet in this game.
Because Oblak lost the ball in the last game, De Gea has been determined to win the Premier League Golden Glove this season.
Just like Ye Chen's golden boots, there is no longer any suspense.
The current second place in the Premier League scorer list is Kane with 29 goals, which is only goals behind Ye Chen.
It may be necessary to add up Sanchez's 24 goals and Aguero's 20 goals, and there are still three missing...
But he is the top scorer of Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City!
Today's referee is also an old acquaintance, Mike Dean.
At the pre-match press conference, team coach Pierre made it clear that his team could not give up this game.
The team will give its best.
Of course, this is not for Chelsea to win the championship, it is just pure sportsmanship.
The Japanese national team captain Maya Yoshida of the Southampton team also accepted the interview, "I am looking forward to playing against Ye. He is the benchmark for Asian players. I will beat him and make this game my bragging rights!"
Yes, this is also an Asian derby.
And Ye Chen and Yoshida Ma will definitely have a head-on confrontation.
In the player tunnel, Ye Chen also saw a few familiar faces.
For example, England's national goalkeeper Fortes and Ward-Prowse, the Premier League's free kick master, are ruthless people who take free kicks as penalty kicks.
Later, Southampton was relegated, and Ward-Prowse joined West Ham United, playing 50 games and scoring seven goals and eleven assists!
There are also the former Barcelona genius midfielder Romeu, who later became the Ivy League player, Tadic who killed everyone in Ajax, and the Premier League veteran Raymond.
This lineup is indeed a gathering of stars.
As the game officially started, they really showed a good spirit.
Ligue 1 champion coach Pierre naturally has rich experience and knows how to face strong teams.
But Manchester United, who played away from home today, came here looking for three points!
Southampton obviously knew that Manchester United had to win, so they immediately came up with an iron barrel formation.
They wanted to bet on the poor footwork of Manchester United players.
It's a pity that Ye Chen's footwork is not a matter of smoothness, but that as long as he is given a chance to shoot from a long distance, he can score!
But the problem is that the opponent knows that Ye Chen's long-range shots are powerful, so they let Romeu stay close to him and prevent him from taking off!
Since the lower back likes to follow.
Ye Chen's approach is also very simple, that is, to expand the scope of activities.
Ye Chen, who was originally moving on the right side, appeared directly on the left side with Dembele.
8 minutes 24 seconds.
Dembele didn't pass the ball after he went down, but passed it to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen immediately chose to cut inside.
But in order to prevent him from cutting inside and shooting, the Southampton players directly knocked Ye Chen to the ground.
This is an obvious tactical foul.
However, perhaps considering that it was still early, Mike Dean did not directly show the yellow card.
It just gave Manchester United a set piece.
Ye Chen and De Bruyne stood in front of the ball.
However, there were huge boos from Southampton fans at the scene...
They tried to interfere with Ye Chen in this way.
"This ball is a bit close, but also a bit off. It's not easy to hit. Do you want to design it?" De Bruyne frowned deeply, covered his mouth, and asked Ye Chen next to him.
"Okay, this way, you push the ball to the right, and I will follow up and hit it!" Ye Chen nodded.
When a team is determined not to let Ye Chen take long-range shots, it is still difficult to think of kicking.
But there are always more solutions than difficulties.
Ye Chen is not in a hurry either...
"Beep!"
With Mike Dean blowing the whistle.
De Bruyne started immediately, and Ye Chen also ran sideways.
"Boom!"
Romeu, who was defending in the penalty area, already realized that something was wrong and immediately ran in the direction of Ye Chen.
But the next second, I heard a loud explosion!
"Oh!"
The football is like a white light, flying from bottom to top directly to the upper right corner of the goal!
Romeu, who made the save, was not touched, nor were the players on both sides of the penalty area.
Foster in front of the door was even more stunned!
His legs seemed to be filled with lead, motionless, and he could only look up at the football blankly.
"Shh..."
No surprises!
The football hits the net!
After scoring the goal, Ye Chen rushed to the sidelines immediately and made a "boo" gesture!
Fans at St. Mary's Stadium tried to disturb Ye Chen with noise.
But the result?
Southampton fans were like mutes, suddenly forgetting to make any noise...
