Chapter 205: The Situation Changes

A drizzle enveloped Old Trafford, but with the enthusiasm of the United fans in the stands, the stadium was like a furnace, melting away the cold rain.

"The second half of the game between the two sides is about to begin!!" Andy Gray said from the commentary box, 'All around me, the United fans were so excited about him, their side took a 0-0 lead over Chelsea in the first half and completely suppressed them for almost the entire first half! Manchester United have shown great control on their home turf!! ”

Li Qingshan stood near the middle circle and moved his wrist, he looked at the drizzling rain falling from the gloomy sky, and the continuous missed opportunities in the first half made Li Qingshan feel a little uneasy.

It seems that the second goal should be scored as soon as possible in the second half, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a lot of dreams.

At this point, both players were already on the pitch, and the two managers were seated in their respective dugouts.

Cesc Fabregas stood on the sidelines.

"Chelsea are going to make a substitution!!" Duan Xuan raised his voice, "Fabregas is standing on the sidelines, this is a signal to strengthen the attack... Cesc Fabregas came on and he came on for ... William? That's right, Cesc Fabregas replaced Willian!! ”

"In that case, Chelsea are likely to adjust their formation to 352!! Take off a striker and strengthen the team's midfield control! Antonio Conte's substitutions were also regular, and Chelsea's three strikers really didn't make a difference in the first half, they didn't even touch you a few times!! Xu Yang added on the side.

Soon, Chelsea made a substitution and the second half officially began.

United attacked as soon as the second half began, and their attack looked even more ferocious than in the first half.

In the 48th minute, Carrick took the ball in the center circle and stuffed the ball straight to Pogba on the left side of the field!

Pogba deftly turned, dodged the Chelsea defenders and sent a through ball down the middle!

Li Qingshan took the ball in the penalty area and forced a shot that hit Terry's foot and went out of the bottom line!!

Then Manchester United was Manchester United's corner, and in the face of the bombardment of Manchester United's high-altitude ball, Chelsea's defense trembled, but fortunately, Pogba got the ball and the ball flew out of the bottom line above the crossbar!

Manchester United have created a very big attacking threat from the start, and Conte's substitutions have not yet had time to show their effect.

Soon, though, Chelsea's side was on the attack!

Cesc Fabregas picked up the ball in midfield and was protected by N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic on the left and right, and all he needed now was a wonderful pass for Chelsea's attackers.

That's what he's good at.

Cesc Fabregas spun with the ball and then picked up a cross behind the United defence.

Eden Hazard stopped the ball in an offside position, but Valencia wasn't slow at this point, and Eric Bailly also came up to get involved in defence.

Eventually, Valencia brought Hazard to the ground and Chelsea were awarded a free-kick.

Cesc Fabregas came to take the free-kick on the right side of the box, and instead of a high ball into the box, he played a low ball to Diego Costa in front of the box.

Diego Costa faced the close defence of Manchester United's players and shifted the ball to the feet of Moses on the right!

Moses took the ball and dribbled it down, but just as he was getting down, he suddenly got up and crossed!

The football flew high towards Manchester United's goal!!

Hummels jumped up to clear the ball with a header, but he jumped on the back leg and he didn't jump high enough and was crushed under Diego Costa!

"Diego Costa!!"

Accompanied by the commentator's long-pitched roar, Diego Costa hit the ball on the line of the six-yard penalty area.

The ball quickly changed direction and flew towards the goal.

De Gea, who moved backwards with the rush point, almost reflexively, waved his right arm and knocked the ball off the crossbar!!

"Oh.... Dangerous!! Diego Costa's header almost found the back of the net and David De Gea made a world-class save to tip Diego but his close-range header over the crossbar!! Duan Xuan finally felt his heart pounding. The moment Diego was his header, he almost felt his heart stop beating!

If Chelsea equalise soon in the second half, the game will turn in Chelsea's favour. Duan Xuan is not a fan of Manchester United, he doesn't like Chelsea too much, and according to CCTV's character, he should be neutral. But Manchester United has Li Qingshan, so he prefers Manchester United, and he hopes that Manchester United can win.

"De Gea!! Manchester United's goalkeeper!! He is the most quality defender in United's defence and no striker can easily break through his handles!! Andy Gray on the commentary bench was also shocked by De Gea's performance.

De Gea saved the close-range header and even Diego Costa couldn't believe it, he didn't know what to say as he watched the ball fly off the line.

However, it also led to a corner for Chelsea.

All three of Chelsea's centre-backs came to the box to take part in the corner, and Li Qingshan also returned.

Hazard came to take the corner, and he looked at Li Qingshan's position, and Li Qingshan was standing in the middle at this time.

Eden Hazard made a gesture with his right hand, which is clearly a set-piece tactic trained by Chelsea in-house!

Manchester United's players are on the verge of being a big enemy.

Hazard's corner kick flew to the back point, Li Qingshan wanted to go back to clear the siege, but at this time there were two Chelsea players next to him in front of him, Moses stood on the way for Li Qingshan to go back, if you want to go to the back point, you must bypass Moses - otherwise if you hit it directly, Li Qingshan is afraid of giving the opponent a penalty!

A couple of Chelsea's highs went to the back post, and it was John Terry who got the ball in the end!!

His header flew just over the crossbar and this time De Gea couldn't make a save and had to turn his head to send the ball off the line.

"Oh........." A figure of inhalation sounded in the stands.

Chelsea fans are thrilled that they are finally on the counter-attack after being suppressed by Manchester United for half the game!!

'Manchester United went on a series of attacks in the first half and missed a couple of chances that were almost a must-score, and I think that would leave a problem for the second half of this game... Wasted opportunities will be rewarded! ”

In the next game, it is indeed no longer Manchester United who has the upper hand.

The two sides have offense and defense against each other, you come and go, and the two teams have started an offensive battle!
