Of course, this is more beneficial to Chelsea, who finished the Champions League group stage on Tuesday...

Compared to Manchester United, who had three days of rest, Chelsea players had five days of rest.

However, Manchester United fans are not worried about Chelsea players waiting for work. Three days ago in the Europa League group stage, Mourinho made a lot of adjustments to the lineup, obviously to prepare for the next red-blue war.

French player Kanter played against Van Kerry in the World Cup qualifiers. Except for a brief advantage at the beginning, he was almost beaten in the subsequent games. He didn't know if Van Kerry would show off his power when he faced him again. , but he will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

Taking into account Van Kerry's strong breakthrough ability and abnormal scoring ability, Chelsea coach Conte decided to hold firm in the home game against Manchester United and then wait for opportunities.

He knows that offense is not Mourinho's characteristic. Giving the initiative to the opponent may actually cause Manchester United to make mistakes!

Manchester United was able to defeat Liverpool with a big score on the road, relying entirely on efficient and quick counterattacks.

Giving the initiative of the game to Manchester United is the magic weapon to win at home!

"Beep~"

Chelsea, who had the advantage of kicking off, played more carefully at the beginning. Hazard received the ball and passed it directly back to Matic in the middle. The latter passed it to the central defender Cahill, and the formation opened up.

Manchester United opened up. The opening strategy was to focus on stability, but once the ball passed the center line, the midfielders and frontcourt players immediately started to press, and Chelsea, who was tentatively attacking, returned the ball to the backcourt. When the time came to

28 seconds, Marcos Aaron Suo made a long pass from the left side of the backcourt. Unexpectedly, there was a misunderstanding between Manchester United defender Smalling and goalkeeper De Gea at the top of the penalty area.
