Moses has plenty of energy, can go up and down, is strong and fast, but his passing ability is a bit poor. Two consecutive passes from the right were easily pushed out of the penalty area by Van Dijk.

Fortunately, Kanter and Matic chose their positions well, otherwise Manchester United would have launched a quick counterattack.

Hazard was closely guarded by Herrera and was unable to complete the breakthrough. The game time in the first half was getting shorter and shorter. Conte glanced at the scoreboard to show the time, frowned, and there was a war between heaven and man in his mind, not knowing whether to continue the attack. , or ended the first half safely.

It is possible to score a goal by continuing to attack, but the probability is not too high. Ending the first half safely can be said to be the safest way, and wait until the second half for a showdown.

However, he was unwilling to give in!

He lost 2:4 at home in the first round and he didn't want to lose again in the second round.

Evening the score can also increase the players' confidence in winning. Once they enter the locker room with a score of 0:1, the players' confidence may be completely gone.

As we all know, Manchester United, which is 11 points ahead, is almost guaranteed to win the league championship this season.

Only by defeating Manchester United as a guest can it be possible to reverse and win the league championship, because in addition to the league mission, Manchester United also has the Europa League and FA Cup missions.

Defeating Anderlecht 3:1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals basically means advancing to the semi-finals in advance. The FA Cup semi-finals are held at Stamford Bridge. Conte is confident that he can lead Chelsea to defeat Manchester United at home. Advance to the finals.

In this context, Manchester United, which is fighting on the third front, has a probability of collapse of the league, thus achieving a league reversal.

But the prerequisite for a reversal is to defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford and reduce the gap to eight points.

Conte thought it through and decided to take a gamble.

What if?

To put it another way, if you lose to Manchester United in the league, wouldn't you still be at the bottom of the FA Cup semi-finals?

After clearing his thoughts, Conte suddenly became enlightened, crossed his arms across his chest, and looked at the court calmly.

The fanatical atmosphere at Old Trafford remains the same, even if the first half reaches the last minute, the fourth official comes to the sidelines with an electronic sign indicating one minute of injury time and waits for the last few seconds before holding up the electronic sign.

Chelsea continued the offensive situation in these few minutes. After the attack on the left was not smooth, Matic and Kanter transitioned to the right, and Pedro or Moses completed the cross.

Luke Shaw, with the cooperation of Fellaini and Lingard, blocked Moses' passing angle. When the space for the ball was getting smaller and smaller, the latter suddenly started to drive the ball to the baseline, using his explosive advantage to win. Good cross opportunity.

The quality of the cross was good, and Van Dijk also chose his position very well. He judged the placement better and beat Diego Costa to push the ball out.

The football flying outside the penalty area flew towards the area where Fellaini and Matic were. Both of them were over 1.9 meters tall and were entangled with each other. In the end, neither of them hit the ball. The football fell to the ground and bounced off the ground. , Herrera, Kanter and Hazard rushed to the landing point at the same time.

Herrera, who was in a better position, leaned over from the side and dived to the top, pushing the football that bounced to waist height to the right.

Valencia had quick eyes and feet and stopped the ball. Azpilicueta and Kante rushed over at the same time. As soon as Valencia looked up, he saw Van Carey approaching the right sideline and stretching out his hand. The arch of his right foot was touching. Hold the football forward.

The football rolled quickly towards Van Kerry. Azpilicueta and Kante missed it. A huge shout like a tsunami erupted from the sky above the Old Trafford Stadium:"Kerry! Kerry!! Kerry!" Rui!!!"

Upon hearing this, Azpilicueta and Kanter's scalps instantly went numb and they realized something.

※※※

Standing in the visiting team coach's command area, Conti's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart pounded, and he felt something was not good.

Azpilicueta, Kanter and Matic are all out of position, leaving only the three central defenders Cahill, David Luiz and Zouma in the defense. The three-on-one seems to be an advantage, but Manchester United still has other players.!

Rashford and Lingard, who had the advantage of speed, saw the football rolling towards Van Kerry close to the ground, and they both moved forward at high speed along the left and center in tacit understanding.

With the outside instep of Van Carey's right foot, he led the football from Valencia in the attacking direction. Cahill rushed over aggressively. Van Carey didn't use any fancy moves and directly used his toes to poke the football along the right path more than ten meters away. , then started speeding along the right sideline and chased the football that was poked out.

Cahill didn't care so much, even if Van Carey poked the football out in advance, he fell to the ground and shoveled during the acceleration process, trying to keep Van Carey in place.

Mourinho was furious when he saw this action and felt ashamed that he had coached Cahill!

Football went out and kicked someone like this. He completely wanted to destroy Fan Kerry! damn it!

Conte didn't expect Cahill to come like this, and was stunned for a moment.

"woowowowoooooooooooo——"

The frenzied atmosphere at Old Trafford was instantly filled with exclamations.

It's too late, but it's so fast. The time from starting to full speed is very short. Cahill looks very fierce when he shovels from the side, but in fact he only shovels a ball of air. The extremely explosive Van Kerry is like a squirrel at the critical moment. Flashing by.

David Luiz is not fast, and Zouma, who has a certain speed, is far away from Van Carey. There is still a David Luiz missing between them.

Van Carey, who was running at high speed along the right sideline, was like a red supercar with the accelerator pressed to the bottom. He passed by the center line of the field at high speed, closing the distance with the football at a speed visible to the naked eye, while also widening the gap with David Luiz and Zouma. horizontal line.

Standing at the penalty spot, Courtois was panicking and didn't know what to make.

The probability of death waiting in front of the goal is 100%, and the probability of saving the team by abandoning the goal is not necessarily high.

The shouts at Old Trafford replaced the exclamations and quickly swept the entire stadium:"aoaoaoaooaoooooooo——"

Fan Kerry's lightning-like speed was fully demonstrated at this moment. He led the football towards the ribs with the inside of the instep of his right foot and headed towards the penalty area.

"Oh-My-God!"

BBC commentator Lineker exclaimed:"Kerry is so fast! Chelsea's defensive players were all left behind by him! incredible! Can Thibaut Courtois stop him from extending the lead before half-time?"

David Luiz and Zouma looked at Van Kerry a few meters away, anxious. Just a few meters on the football field are heaven and hell.

Van Kerry, who was dribbling at high speed, came to the top of the penalty area, and David Luiz, who was running in a straight line, was still far away. There were two meters, but Van Carey's speed did not slow down. When he was still more than two meters away from Courtois, he directly used his speed advantage to force a breakthrough from the right side.

Courtois, who was 1.99 meters tall, moved at a slow pace and could only watch helplessly. Watching Van Carey break through from his left side

"Van Carey passed Courtois!"

As Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai shouted, Van Carey completely broke through Courtois and got an angle to hit the empty goal. He pushed hard with his right foot and the football quickly rolled against the ground towards the unguarded goal. It was nonsensical. He hit the snow-white net...

Fan Kerry, who scored the goal, stood there with his eyes closed and his arms open, feeling the fanatical atmosphere coming towards his face, one wave after another.

Head coach Mourinho waved a wave with all his strength. Boxing, venting the joy of expanding the score.

The players on the bench jumped up again, raised their arms and shouted.

Ten meters away, the visiting team coach's command area and bench were completely silent.
