Van Kerry helped Manchester United expand the score before the end of the first half. The Manchester United fans at Old Trafford were as excited as a child, dancing and celebrating the goal.

Manchester United's meritorious coaches Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Bobby Charlton, who were sitting in the VIP seats, laughed very happily. Once they beat Chelsea at home, the point difference between them would widen to 14 points. There are still six rounds left in the league, which basically means there will be no surprises. occur!

The 14th league championship in the Premier League era will soon come to Old Trafford again!

Chelsea coach Conte and his players were shaking their heads and sighing, obviously not expecting to concede another goal before the end of the first half.

Being down by two goals is a disaster compared to being down by one goal.

The current Manchester United is no longer the same Manchester United in the first half of the season. With Van Dijk, the entire defense has undergone earth-shaking changes. It has gone from the top six teams conceding the most goals to now conceding the least goals.

It is very difficult to score two goals against Manchester United like this.

The hardest thing to do is not to score two goals, but to score goals while ensuring that the defense does not concede any more goals.

Van Kerry is in excellent condition. The most direct problem caused by strengthening the offense is the lax defense...

I think that the Chelsea players here are listless. After the restart of the game, they lost control of the football after just a few passes. Manchester United switched from defense to offense. Fortunately, The referee Oliver blew his whistle to signal the end of the first half:"Beep~"

Mourinho, who was still waiting for Manchester United to take a three-goal lead, spread his hands in frustration, obviously dissatisfied with Oliver blowing the whistle so quickly. I think we should wait until Manchester United's attack ends before declaring the end of the first half.

Of course, he was just complaining and showing his attitude. Leading Chelsea 2:0 at halftime was already a very good result.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. Chelsea took the lead in making adjustments before changing sides in the second half. Fabregas replaced Moses who was carrying a yellow card. The formation also changed from 343 to 352. Diego Costa and Hazard was high and fast, Azpilicueta and Pedro each hugged one side.

Chelsea, whose formation was widened, got consecutive opportunities, and Hazard, who was hidden behind Diego Costa, performed well and felt like a duck in water.

Mourinho had no worries standing in the home team coach's command area. He believed that Herrera could complete Hazard's defense, just like he did in the first half. as expected!

Herrera lived up to Mourinho's new appointment. After adapting for a few minutes, he completed the defense of Hazard and froze him again.

Hazard is Chelsea's offensive accelerator and an important offensive point. He was frozen by Herrera, and Chelsea's offensive threat was greatly reduced.

Mourinho turned his head and looked at Conte, who was shaking his head and sighing, and murmured in a low voice:"Conte, I didn't expect it~ In addition to Kerry and Virgil Van Dijk, Manchester United are in excellent form, and Ander Herrera is also in excellent form. Good."

Fabregas came off the bench to increase Chelsea's midfield organization and long-pass dispatching capabilities, but he is strong in offense and defensive in weakness. Chelsea's defense relies more on Matic and Kante.

The offense was unable to pose a real threat to Manchester United's defense, and Manchester United began to organize attacks that threatened Courtois' goal.

First, Van Carey cut in from the left and his long shot missed the goal post, shocking the Chelsea fans who came to watch the game with the team into a cold sweat.

Three minutes later, Rashford's volley in the penalty area was saved by Courtois's divine performance.

"aoaooaoaooooooooo——"

As Van Kerry and Rashford came close to scoring two consecutive shots, the fanatical atmosphere at Old Trafford showed signs of surge again, with waves of violent shouts like a tsunami.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, the on-site director gave Chelsea coach Conte a close-up shot of his face.

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai said:"Manchester United is getting closer and closer to scoring. Chelsea, which is behind in two periods, should continue to make personnel adjustments to put some pressure on Manchester United's defense, otherwise they will have to accept the result of losing to Manchester United in the away game."

Chelsea has not yet made the second substitution adjustment, but Mourinho made the adjustment first.

Veteran Carrick replaced Lingard, and the formation changed from 4231 to the 433 that has been used recently.

Conte raised his eyebrows, obviously aware of Mourinho's intention to adjust.

On the surface, it is defense in the middle, but in fact it is to increase the efficiency of counterattack!

Carrick's long pass is what Manchester United needs most at the moment!

In the 59th minute, Chelsea made their second adjustment. Willian replaced Matic, who was carrying a yellow card, in an attempt to pose a comprehensive threat to Manchester United through the wing.

In Conte's view, the suppression of Chelsea's offense is largely due to the fact that Hazard was frozen by Herrera. Then replacing Willian with the same breakthrough ability will solve the problem and even reactivate Hazard.

It's just that in many cases the results are very different from what was imagined. William, who came off the bench, did perform well, but it just passed by like a meteor.

On the other hand, Manchester United played an efficient offense amidst the continuous roars of the home fans.

Carrick has rich experience and has unique insights into the tactics deployed by Mourinho. He retreated to the center circle and received Van Dijk's forward pass. Willian and Hazard surrounded him without grabbing it, which caused him to Have extra time to understand the situation on the field.

At this moment, he saw a red figure advancing at high speed from the attacking left rib.

That figure is... the number [7] raised behind him tells the world who he is!

Without making any adjustments, he almost instinctively uses precise long-passing kicks to kick the football at his feet.

The football shot up from the center circle and flew towards the left rib of the penalty area.

The on-site director quickly cut to a long shot, and a red No. 7 voice was highlighted in the lower left corner of the clear picture of the fans sitting in front of the TV. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai's voice suddenly rose an octave:"Fan Kerry——"

Meanwhile, Old Trafford was abuzz.

Van Carey passed Zuma at high speed at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was exactly the same as Carrick's long pass!

Zuma thought that Carrick's long pass was slightly stronger and the football would fly out of the baseline. When he saw a red figure flashing out from the left out of the corner of his eye, his heart skipped a beat, and his big black and white eyes almost popped out of his head.

Van Carey, who was running at high speed, used his chest to gently stop the football in the direction of running. Courtois, who abandoned the goal and attacked, looked like an octopus and pounced on it with open arms.

Fan Kerry looked at Courtois who appeared in front of him. He didn't panic at all. He connected very quickly. With the instep of his right foot, he swung the football that had dropped to waist height to the left front, narrowly avoiding Courtois's attack. , the body moved towards the baseline, and the speed dropped suddenly. Those starry eyes stared at the football that dropped to the height of the forehead. He raised his right foot, and the arch of his foot pointed the fallen football towards the goal.

"aoaooaoaoaooaooaoooooo——"

The fanatical atmosphere at Old Trafford was about to reach freezing point, but just one second later, 70,000 Manchester United fans chanted hysterically, creating a huge roar like a mountain and a tsunami.

"Van Carey——"

BBC commentator Lineker shouted hoarsely:"Goal! Goal!! Goal!!! Hat trick! Kerry's sixth hat this season! surpassing Alan Shearer's five in a single season in the 1994-1995 season. Hat-trick record! Became the player with the most hat-tricks since the establishment of the Premier League! From today on, please call him the hat-trick king!"
