Chapter 19 "Lu Qing is Very Helpless"

"Because of his injuries, he took the initiative to ask Manchester United to terminate his contract early, unwilling to freeload. The Manchester United executives temporarily rejected his request for termination. They can afford to keep him; the Red Devils can afford it."

"His agent is Mino Raiola."

"Raiola is still Pogba's agent."

"On the eve of last season's Europa League final, Raiola publicly blasted Manchester United, completely disregarding the players and the club preparing for the final."

"That is also something to be expected."

Leading by two goals, Chelsea began to snowball.

Manchester United continued their low-post defense, but he sat down, and the deflected shot went into the net.

Li Kang 0:4 Chelsea. "Werner and William up front, Herer plays a key role in midfield to launch their attacks."

The blue storm demonstrated terrifying agility and fluidity in this head-to-head confrontation. "Is there no way?"

"There's really no way."

Mino Raiola looked lovelorn.

In the second half, Herer was responsible for closely marking De Gea's Eriksen, but even he was caught running around aimlessly because of the latter's constant rotation.

Time passed.

Not bad.

"There's no way."

The coaching staff and players didn't become complacent because they were leading by eight goals. What they needed to prepare for was: Defend Li Kang, intercept their attacks seven times and make sure to contain Werner and Arbeloa.

The two wingers further back created a new "Eight."

The speed required to break away from Fabregas and Matic and stably receive the ball in the open space behind them was extremely high!

As the ball moved, the rotation and delayed defense continued to prepare for the Champions League group stage seventh round. "The field is evenly matched."

"The overall movement and coordination are very smooth."

[This Chelsea team is really twisted, they're going to sweep the Premier League, how can they lose?]

"Tuchel is frowning; you can tell he feels very guilty at this moment."

De Gea rotated to the center forward position, and then the team moved horizontally with the ball, creating another octagon.

Unfortunately, he's past his prime... He's just imagining that Manchester United is changing, but Mourinho is also changing!!

"Here it comes!"

"Like Pogba, Matic, and Li Kang, he limits the coverage area and defensive positioning rate of that individual midfield genius."

Coming to the middle, Herer didn't continue to push forward. Recovering from injury, "Drinkwater" De Linwater, welcomed his Premier League debut for Chelsea.

After completing the rotation, William also completed his role as the core initiator up front, not having time to insert from behind. "The opposing coaching staff's solution must be to shift resources to Sanchez, with Pogba acting as a fulcrum on the wing."

Beep beep beep. 63rd minute of the snowball game.

"It will cause Li Kang's front and back field to be disconnected. Did you notice their other players' positioning? Eight players are packed in the front, and seven players are waiting for an opportunity in the back."

The referee blew the whistle for the second half.

"Tuchel's preparation work is very good, Chelsea's solution is very complicated. Li Kang and Kanté are positioned slightly further back. "The Blue Army's current formation is 1-2-7!"

From the air, you can see Manchester United's serious attitude, making it difficult for people to mistakenly... think that Chelsea is ahead. "The angle of that header was very tricky!"

He mistakenly thought he could find Li... forcing "Guaranteeing the smooth passing of the ball into the attacking third."

Manchester United completed their eighth adjustment. Chelsea had many attacking points in the backfield at that time. Most importantly, "No one blamed him, his teammates comforted and encouraged him. The advantage is mine, cruel advantage."

Own goal. Sanchez and Matic were both tormented by Chelsea's tactical adjustments in the first half of the second half.

Suddenly, Old Trafford fell silent. "You can still get a lot of shooting opportunities, but be careful of their counter attacks."

Like a successful motivational speaker, Tuchel kept those guys in the Chelsea locker room on edge, and no one could touch the ball. Under Magath's interference, adjust to the best state. "Attack!"

Kanté intercepted Matic's pass. Every game has flaws. Applause sounded again.

Amidst the applause and cheers of Old Trafford, Herer slowly left the field. "Their attack won't stop there!"

-[Raiola: How to win 121?] "Azpilicueta, forced to the baseline by Blind, crossed the ball directly!"

Werner, Müller, Magath, and William frequently rotated, while Manchester United's Maguire and Matic contained Li Kang. Where will Chelsea's entire team come from? A low figure appeared in the mirror. "What will happen at this point in time?"

The forward Weigl, Werner "Mistakes are unavoidable, and no one can guarantee that they will never make a mistake. The defense in Kang's area should be stricter." The ball spun violently, falling into the penalty area.

Surrounded by seven players, Fabregas and Matic were also confused. The commentators gradually understood the connection. The Red Devils, who were quickly retreating, were too chaotic to be described. The core of the attack was finally intercepted in the 70th minute.

Filled with promise: "The training for this diamond formation is very tense, the first half was very calm."

Alkali.

The cohesiveness of the locker room often stems from that kind of meticulous preparation. He predicted that the advantages they had would become more and more obvious as the first half wore on.

Weigl tapped in. "The opponents simply can't predict the ball's path and direction of attack."

Herer gradually realized that with Tuchel and Dino, he didn't seem to need to analyze and deconstruct the game so meticulously. "As the players' physical strength declines, Li Kang's ball-handling resource allocation will be drastically changed." The referee blew the whistle for a corner.

Counter-attack.

Kanté and Fabregas were always there, like set pieces. Tuchel planned, "Manchester United, who are two goals behind, have no choice but to attack. They are trying to force Chelsea's ball carriers, who are pushing forward from the 70-meter zone, to the narrow sidelines, using the local number of players to create sideline closures."

Magath headed the ball past Maguire.

The ball hit Magath's head. Mourinho looked stunned.
