At the beginning of the game, Manchester United, who took the lead in kicking off, only controlled it for a little while and started to attack. They did not have much burden in this game. After all, they were well aware of each other's knowledge. They also knew very well that the "Blue Army" was strong in defense and weak in offense, so they did not need to invest too much manpower in defense in this game.

In the 5th minute, Mark Tominayi passed the ball to the top of the penalty area with a pick-up pass. Yang Xiaozhuang jumped out from the side, stopped the ball in the air, and jumped directly to the front right into the Chelsea penalty area!

Bang!

Although Yang Xiaozhuang received the ball and did break into Chelsea's penalty area, he still had to complete the shot as soon as possible. Three Chelsea defensive players were already wrapped up by him.

The ball drew an arc deflecting to the left in the air. After bypassing Courtois, it ended up barely rubbing Chelsea's left post and falling out of the baseline...

"oh------"

There was a burst of exclamation at the Stamford Bridge Stadium. Chelsea fans are familiar with the Manchester United Kings. They know very well that Manchester United No. 7 is the most dangerous person in the "Red Devils". This kick just now... is really not far from scoring the goal!

"What a pity! What a pity! China Yang's slash run this time and his steady stop in the air allowed him to create this opportunity to shoot with his personal ability. It's a pity that this shot was disturbed by Chelsea players and pursued the angle too much, otherwise... there should be a certain threat!"

"Just just started the game, there were some problems with Chelsea's defense. Manchester United's No. 7 shot was very threatening. If the ball was 20 centimeters away from the right, the ball might hit the post and bounce into the goal!"

"Is Chelsea fighting at home? Or can't just defend, at least they have to fight back! I don't know what Chelsea's Italian coach thinks. Did he only arrange defensive tactics for his team and ignore the team's offense?"

"In the five minutes of the game, although Manchester United played away, they took the initiative in the game. If they continued to play like this, once Chelsea's defense made a mistake, Manchester United would likely score a goal!"

Conte, who was off the court, ran to the side of the court in a hurry and shouted: "Sign up! Staring up! You can't miss people anymore! Especially No. 7! Staring up! Staring up! Staring up!"

Although the game had just begun, Conte was really anxious. This game was originally due to Lukaku's injury, and the team's offense had been completely removed. Now there are only some counterattack routines left. It's really difficult to use this to break through Manchester United's goal!

So for this game, Conte had long known that his team still had to rely on solid defense to have a little chance, but now... the defense seems to be going wrong, so what's the point of playing this game!?

However, the "Blue Army"'s defensive ability is still very amazing. Manchester United failed to create any chance after Yang Xiaozhuang's shot. Until 7 minutes, Mark Tominai made a long shot, and the ball also became an anti-aircraft gun.

In 10 minutes, Chelsea got the opportunity to serve a set piece on the right side of the frontcourt. Artur took a precise arc ball to the centimeters and was beaten by Morata who rushed to the goal. It made the Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge Stadium beat their chests and stamped their feet.

At this time, Conte was not anxious. Seeing that his team's defense had stabilized, the players also began to create set pieces in the frontcourt. He wanted to use the set pieces to try to score, but he was not anxious at all.

At this time... it's useless to be anxious!

Everything we should say before the game has been said. When it comes to the game, the players have done everything they should do. Then... I'll wait for the result!

Anyway, Chelsea really has no other good idea now. Lukaku's injury has a great impact on the team's tactical strategy. Just like the ball just now, Morata's top was off. If it were Lukaku... this situation is definitely sure to win!

In the 15th minute, Manchester United attacked and hit the frontcourt. Mark Tominai divided the ball to Rashford on the right. As a result, the cross from "Master" was too close to the goal. Courtois directly held it. After the ball flew to the left, Azpilicueta kicked it out of the sideline.

"What a pity! Rashford's cross quality is really not very high. If the ball can be two meters away from the goal, China Yang, who is in line with the middle, will definitely be able to head the ball!"

"For a long time, Rashford has done a good job in retracement when breaking through on the right, and he often seizes the opportunity to enter the opponent's penalty area to shoot and score. However, his cross quality has never improved much. This opportunity just now is actually a rare offensive opportunity!"

"Since Manchester United's offense still likes to go to the sidelines, and China Yang from the middle lane is to surround and grab points, then we should actually work harder in this regard. At least the quality of this cross should be guaranteed!"

Manchester United's offense all seem quite threatening, but the Chelsea soldiers who have been through the battle for a long time are also calm. They have long been used to causing trouble for their opponent's offense through their tight defense, and they are also very clear that even if the opponent's offense is only slightly affected, the chance of scoring will become very low in the end.

Then... take your time!

While resolutely implementing Conte’s tactical arrangement in defense, Chelsea players are also actively creating set pieces on the court. They are very clear that because they lack the powerful center of "Little Warcraft", they have fewer tricks to play on the offensive end. At least it is not easy to threaten Manchester United’s goal, so they will resolutely play...setting pieces according to the head coach’s idea!

In the 22nd minute, Chelsea cooperated with Spanish winger Vitolo and Spanish left-back Alonso on the left. In the absence of tearing Manchester United's defense, Vitolo's cross was blocked by Varane from the baseline, and Chelsea once again got a corner kick.

When Alonso took the corner kick, he exchanged glances with Vitolo, who was ambushing near the free throw point in the middle, and the two Spaniards seemed to have reached some consensus in an instant.

Bang!

Alonso sent a corner kick, using a lot of strength, but... the ball did not fly!

The ball drawn by Alonso flew straight to Manchester United's small penalty area...

When the corner kick was taken, Vitolo, who was originally near the free throw point, suddenly rushed out. He should have had an agreement with Alonso, and rushed directly to Manchester United's small penalty area line on the left side facing the left goal post.

The ball arrives...the person arrives!

Because the speed was not fast enough, Vitolo chose to directly tackle the short body... Dong!
Chapter completed!
