Football: King of Midfield! Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are crying

After the game starts.

Manchester United kicked off first.

However, at the beginning, the defensive position of Chelsea players.

It’s very eye-catching!

Although Chelsea has a 442 formation in this game.

But look at where their players are now.

The midfield shrinks back very obviously.

Not so much the formation is 442.

It’s better to say 802!

The four players in the midfield are lined up.

Very close to the defenders on the back line.

Going a little further back, they almost stick to a line!

There are only two forwards in the frontcourt, Hazard and Diego Costa.

But even so.

The two strikers are also positioned further back.

It seems that he is also preparing to support the defense at any time!

As soon as Chelsea opened the game, they put in so much effort on the defensive end.

This is really unexpected.

You know at the press conference before the game.

Coach Mourinho emphasized it very categorically.

Chelsea will go all out to win this game!

He will give everything to win.

Those bold words also made many fans subconsciously think so.

In this game, Chelsea may have to adopt strong offensive tactics on the field!

A high press, followed by a sharp counter-attack.

Fans believe that this is what they are likely to see on the court.

However, looking at Chelsea now, they are almost defending with a bus.

The fans were in deep thought.

This contrast is too great!

Even commentator Martin Taylor and David Beckham.

At this time it was also about the positioning of Chelsea’s opening players.

Very surprised!

Because they all remember it clearly. early in the season.

The match between Manchester United and Chelsea in the league.

Mourinho's tactics are relatively conservative during the game.

There is a suspicion of setting up a bus.

As a result, he was spurned and criticized by Chelsea fans.

Unexpectedly, less than a season has passed since then.

At this time, 27 Chelsea started the game as if they were driving a bus.

The result was judged by the emotions of the Chelsea fans at the scene.

No one raised any objection to Mourinho's opening tactics!

The Chelsea fans in the stands were still cheering for the home team and were in high spirits.

It seems to them.

Chelsea adopted a bus defense from the beginning.

It’s completely expected and reasonable!

Although the contrast of this scene is very strong, it also makes people feel emotional.

But if you think about it for a moment, it’s actually not difficult to understand.

At the beginning of the season, the two teams met together.

At that time, Chelsea was still the defending league champion last season.

Manchester United was only fourth after performing relatively well last season.

The positioning between the two teams is completely different.

The defending league champions faced the fourth-placed team in last season's league.

Using the tactic of showing off a bus will naturally make the fans very dissatisfied!

But now, the situation and positioning between the two teams are completely different!

Manchester United is now the Premier League champion this season.

Not only that, but he also has the ability to win the Champions League!

Chelsea has fallen to tenth place in the league and has suffered a complete Waterloo this season.

The development of the two sides this season can be said to be worlds apart!

Every Chelsea fan knows this very well.

Manchester United's overall strength this season has already completed a complete transformation!

Any fan who has watched Manchester United's games this season.

No one is stupid enough to think that Chelsea is facing Manchester United today.

How dare you implement any more aggressive tactics at the beginning.

Facing today's Manchester United, the most reliable tactic is to set up the bus and hold on first!

Mourinho's conservative tactics this time.

Not only did it not attract resentment and criticism from fans.

Instead, he received the support of the vast majority of Chelsea fans!

Such contrasting changes.

It also makes Manchester United fans feel a little bit laughing!

"Good guy, is it the wrong way I opened it?"

"I still remember when we played against Chelsea at the beginning of the season, they pressed the whole game from the beginning and were very aggressive!"

"How did you end up in this situation now?!"

"Stop scolding people upstairs. Chelsea is 10th in the league this season and can't even qualify for the Champions League. It's already miserable enough!"

"Chelsea has collapsed this season and is no longer the team that Manchester United faced at the beginning of the season!"

"One is the league champion and the Champions League champion."

"And another team that is tenth in the league and cannot even qualify for the Champions League next season"

"If you look at this line of logic, it's very clear. You said that when the latter faces the former, if they don't open the show, do they still have to open the attack?"

"To be honest, placing a bus at the beginning is the best solution to Chelsea's current tactics!"

"Manchester United are averaging more than three goals per game in the league this season"

"How can Chelsea's defense withstand such terrifying offensive firepower?"

"If it were me, I would definitely set up the bus like Mourinho!"

"Chelsea's most realistic problem now is to withstand Manchester United's strong attack."

"Then look for opportunities to score goals!"

"When a weak team faces a strong team, doesn't it just have to be a bus? Mourinho's mind is, to be honest, relatively clear-headed!"

When Chelsea's defensive posture was set up at the beginning, even Chelsea fans subconsciously felt that the team set up a bus to defend at the beginning.

Then more than half of the problems on the defensive end should be solved!

The rest needs to be solved The main focus is on offense.

Think carefully about how to find offensive opportunities in the current situation.

And the current situation on the field is basically in a relatively stable situation.

Manchester United's offense is behind Chelsea's In front of the defense, we can only find opportunities through passing.

For a moment, it seemed that there was no huge loophole in Chelsea's defense.

But at this time, Mourinho on the sidelines looked at the court, but his expression was still serious.

As a top player Head coach.

He obviously sees further than the fans in the stands!

The current situation on the field does seem to be in a certain balance.

Chelsea has set up a bus defense.

The number of personnel in the backcourt and the density of defensive players.

It can be said that they have reached their peak.

In this case,

Manchester United's offensive space is very small!

After the offensive players get the ball, the choices they can make are also very limited!

This is undoubtedly the biggest defensive restriction for Manchester United players..

Although it seems that Manchester United's offense has been successfully contained by Chelsea.

But Mourinho's sharp vision can see that the situation on the field seems calm at this time.

That is because Manchester United has not fully developed on the offensive end. Strength!

For Chelsea at this time, the best solution they can do on the defensive end is to set up a bus to defend.

In other words,

Chelsea, who has already set up a bus, has reached the highest point of their defensive efforts..

But now Manchester United. may not have brought their offense to the extreme!

Or it can be said with certainty.

Now Manchester United has not used all its strength in offense at all! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this time As for Manchester United,

Long Fei, who is the core of the team's offense, is still in Chelsea's half, patiently passing the ball to his teammates.

Chelsea put up a bus defensive posture at the beginning.

This also surprised the players on Manchester United's side..

But this surprise did not last long.

Because Chelsea adopted full defensive tactics at the beginning.

In fact, it was also what Manchester United expected before the league.

After all, the strength gap between the two teams is already very obvious.

The opponent in this game,

It is very normal to be on the defensive most of the time. The defense of the bus also has a very targeted role for Manchester United. That is to greatly limit the possibility of Long Fei launching an attack with a long pass! [] After all, Chelsea now has a lot of defensive personnel in the second half. Coupled with Manchester United's defense, during the continuous attack, they can often press Chelsea's half. In other words, except for Manchester United goalkeeper De He Ya. The remaining 21 players in the entire stadium are conducting offensive and defensive drills in Chelsea's half. With so many players gathered in the half-court area, Manchester United's offensive space has basically been compressed to a very small level! In such a narrow space, Long Fei's long pass instigated the attack. Basically, there was not much room and scenarios to play! Long Fei could clearly feel it at this moment. This may be Chelsea's bus-style defense. The greatest intention! The last time we played against Chelsea. Chelsea asked Mikel and Matic to defend Long Fei together! As a result, in such a tight and tight situation. Long Fei can still find ways to pass the ball out! Use his long pass to help his teammates score goals. This time, Mourinho simply took a more direct approach. If Long Fei's ball cannot be evacuated, it will be restricted. Then just pass the long ball to Long Fei and directly complete the stranglehold! If Long Fei didn't even have a long pass situation. Then even if he has a chance to pass the ball. There won’t be any long passes either! From the beginning to now. Although Manchester United has maintained absolute possession of the ball. But Manchester United has never launched a threatening attack. Especially the threatening long pass attack. It is precisely because of Mourinho's bus tactics that it plays a huge role in this angle! And this is something that many fans didn’t see immediately! Chelsea's results this season are very sluggish. There are also endless problems in the team's locker room. Many Chelsea fans have great doubts about Mourinho's coaching ability. But anyway. Starting from today's game against Manchester United. Mourinho obviously made a lot of preparations before the game. He also adopted a very effective tactical response to how to deal with Manchester United and Long Fei's offensive ability! Just from this point of view. There is actually nothing wrong with Mourinho's coaching ability! He is still the world's top coach! Long Fei was seen holding the ball many times. There was no long pass attack either. Mourinho knows it very well.

That's precisely because of the effect shown in his defensive tactics!

Although Long Fei's long-pass offensive ability has indeed been curbed.

But Mourinho is still very worried about 997 Yu Longfei.

Because he knows.

In front of me is the genius of the Dragon Kingdom who just won the league's best player.

The potential and energy in him are by no means limited to this level!

But the Chelsea fans at the scene were optimistic.

The team starts the game with a bus tactic.

It also makes the fans believe it.

Manchester United's offense has fallen into the quagmire of Chelsea's defense!

Next, Chelsea only needs to think about how to find opportunities to counterattack! but.

Just when Chelsea fans thought that there were no loopholes on the defensive end.

The situation on the court suddenly changed dramatically!

19th minute of the first half.

Long Fei received a pass from his teammate in the midfield.

Decisively choose the middle road to advance!

Chelsea's defensive players still put on their usual defensive posture.

In their view, Long Fei no longer had any space for long passes.

The threat intensity of this game has been significantly reduced!

At this moment, Long Fei took the ball and advanced in the middle.

This is obviously not a wise choice!

Under the premise that Chelsea sets up a bus.

The defensive density of the defense can be said to be quite high.

Is it possible that this Dragon Kingdom player still wants to break through with the ball?

This is obviously the stupidest way!

Chelsea midfielder Mikel.

Immediately stopped in front of Long Fei.

And behind Mikel.

Chelsea's defense has also taken up its position!

Long Fei is in this offensive position.

There is no time to break through with the ball.

There is also no possibility of playing long passes.

With the football at his feet, there is no threat at all!

Just when Mikel was about to take the initiative and cut off the football from Long Fei's feet!

Long Fei suddenly passed the ball forward with his right foot.

The football flew past Mikel at extremely fast speeds!

Long Fei's pass caught Mikel off guard!

He didn't expect it at this moment.

Long Fei can actually send a short pass!

Moreover, the direction of Long Fei's pass also puzzled Mitchell!

The direction behind him is full of Chelsea defensive players!

The Longguo man passed the ball in this direction.

That is simply preparing to hand over the ball!

However, what Mikel and all Chelsea defenders did not expect was.

Long Fei's short pass not only passed through Mikel.

He also passed directly through the gap between the three defensive players!

Chelsea's defense seemed impregnable just a second ago.

In the next second, he was immediately penetrated by Long Fei's short pass!

How can this be?!.
