Chapter 346: The only tactic to prevent counter-revolution!
In the home team's locker room, Conte is reminding Chelsea players what to pay attention to in today's game: "Young guys, we are about to face the team with the strongest attack power in Europe, so don't be dissatisfied. Manchester United's goal ability and ability to create shooting opportunities are the strongest this season. At present, no one in Europe can compare with them in this regard."
"As the opponents of the league, we have long known this team very much. The most threatening person in their team is China Yang No. 7. Others have to be a level compared to China Yang, so he is still the one we need to focus on in today's game!"
"Today our tactics are still about defensive counterattacks, but in the midfield and backcourt, I arranged seven people to defend, and five defenders... Englo, your main task is to cover your defense in more areas! Organize the offense, we don't need to do it today's game, here in the midfield... Arthur, you should still pay attention to intercepting the opponent's passes. If you have the opportunity to get the ball, send threatening passes to Vitolo, William, and Alvaro in front as quickly as possible, without having to make any high-quality attacks towards the organization. That doesn't mean to us, because we have too little power to attack."
Kante, named by Conte, nodded. They will be the midfield combination of Chelsea today, but the characteristics of these two people are just opposite. Kante is better at defense, and Artur is actually better at organizing offense. His point will also be the only point that the "Blues" can give Morata, Vitolo and William the threatening ball to the front-line attack line today.
Mama!
When talking about his team's offense, Conte wanted to curse himself. Everton's guys are really not a thing. Even though they knew that their team was about to play in the Champions League semi-finals with Manchester United, they fought to the death of their team in that game. If they won, they would win. Why did they hurt the main center of our team?
Lukaku is a very important piece in the offense for Chelsea today. Conte also formulated many tactical routines around him. As a result, at this most critical moment... nothing is used!
When Lukaku was there, Chelsea could still attack Manchester United with home advantage, but now... don't even think about it!
With Morata, Vitolo and William in positional battles, they don’t have the ability to suppress Manchester United at all. It is impossible to rely on the three of them to suppress Manchester United in the game.
When he thought of two rounds of games, he had to play defensive counterattack at home, which was a waste of his home advantage. Conte felt...he was frustrated!
It's so frustrating!
It is obvious that the two home and away games are good now... I have to play defensive counterattacks in both games, and the initiative is directly handed over to the opponent.
After calming down his mood, Conte took a deep breath and made his final instructions to his players: "Young men, this game will be a even game. In such a game, don't forget the importance of set pieces. Don't miss it when you have the opportunity to create set pieces. That may be the moment that determines the outcome of the game!"
Conte didn't know if his players would remember what he said, but as long as a few people remembered it and could make more set pieces in the game, maybe... the results of the game would be different, right?
At Stamford Bridge Stadium, when both players from both sides had already entered the game, the on-site commentator was still dissatisfied with the "arrangement" of the game: "I believe there must be many fans like me. I think the rules of the Champions League should be changed. The national teams should enjoy the principle of priority avoidance before the Champions League final! Look at our semi-final civil war, it can almost be said that whoever wins the Champions League trophy will eventually win! Whether it is Juventus or Monaco, their strength is really a big gap compared to Manchester United and Chelsea!"
The commentators from England are having fun here, and the commentators from other countries are not in the mood, especially the commentators from Germany and Spain. Their own teams have been wiped out and they can only watch.
In the past few years, Spain's two giants took turns to win four consecutive Champions League trophys. Going forward, Bayern Munich won the Champions League. In the past two years... With Manchester United's strong recovery, the Premier League has led to a strong rise in the Premier League again.
The scale of Stamford Bridge Stadium is not large, and the number of tickets Manchester United fans still receive today is still only 5%...2081!
On the contrary, when Manchester United played with Chelsea here a week ago, the number of tickets was given 3,000 according to the regulations of the FA!
So just looking at the scene, the square formation formed by Manchester United fans today was much smaller than the last time Manchester United came to Stamford Bridge to play, but this did not affect the momentum of the "Red Devils" supporters. They waved the five-star red flag early, and the number even exceeded that of Manchester United's team flag, but Manchester United fans felt... it didn't matter!
Now Manchester United fans have absolutely unprecedented support for Yang Xiaozhuang, and they even surpassed the "King" Cantona at that time. After all, Cantona's goals and role on Manchester United have not yet reached the level of Yang Xiaozhuang.
It was fine last season. Under Mourinho, Manchester United used Lukaku as the offensive core to build the center tactics. Although Yang Xiaozhuang scored a lot of goals, it still sounds a bit icing on the cake.
But this season is different!
After selling the three major stars Pogba, Lukaku and Matic, Manchester United can now defend the Premier League championship and reach the semi-finals in the Champions League. That is definitely Yang Xiaozhuang who has carried Manchester United to this day with his own strength.
This also means that the current "Red Devil"... cannot be without Chinese Yang!
If China Yang is lost, the competitiveness of the "Red Devils" on the field will decline sharply, and no one can replace him!
Similarly, the first leg of this Champions League semi-final...it depends on how well China Yang can perform!
Since we are pointing at Chinese Yang, then let Chinese Yang be in a good mood early, and his condition will definitely be better... Is there any problem!?
At about 20 o'clock, the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals between Chelsea and Manchester United at home, with the referee Harten'an from Romania blew a long whistle, the battle officially kicked off...
Chapter completed!
