Chapter 201 The offensive is like a tide

Although Chelsea had a couple of attacking starts on the line, it was the Reds who were playing at home in the end who had the upper hand as the game wore on.

Amid the shouts and cheers of the Old Trafford fans, Chelsea, who wanted to play against Manchester United, gradually began to be unable to withstand Manchester United's attack, and they were forced to shrink back.

Because under the strong impact of Li Qingshan, Manchester United's attack is obviously more threatening!

In the 23rd minute, Manchester United broke the ball at the back, taking advantage of the gap behind Chelsea's attack to defense, Manchester United immediately launched a quick counterattack!

Li Qingshan retreated to the center circle to get the ball, he stopped Hummels' long ball at the back perfectly at his feet, and then he passed the ball diagonally to Pogba's running line!

Chelsea's left flank, as Moses had just stepped up to assist, was an open area on their right, which was on the left side of United's attacking direction.

Responsible for defending Li Qingshan is Chelsea captain John Terry, if Li Qingshan stands still, he may not be able to bargain for anything at Terry's feet, but Li Qingshan just didn't give Terry such a chance, he passed the ball out, and then ran forward by himself.

If the elderly Terry is running between the two sides, he can't keep up with the rhythm of the young Li Qingshan!

Therefore, he was quickly overtaken by Li Qingshan, and at this time, Kante's defensive range was very large, and the French midfielder was in hot pursuit, staring at Li Qingshan.

At this time, Gary Cahill also followed from the left side, ready to intercept Li Qingshan, who was about to rush into the penalty area, but as soon as Gary Cahill came from the left, there was a gap on the right side of Manchester United's attacking direction.

David Luiz went to fill in Moses' position, and Chelsea's three central defenders were not in his place at this time!

Pogba didn't want to get rid of David Luiz, he looked to the right, on the side of Juan Mata.

Pogba!! Nice long pass!! ”

Pogba's long pass is not high, but the ball speed is very fast, and more importantly, the ball is rotating against the direction of the football, and when it flies to the destination, the originally fast-flying football quickly slows down and falls to the ground quickly under the action of gravity.

It was a comfortable pass that made Mata very comfortable!

Juan Mata stopped the ball at his feet and Marques Alonso, who had just returned from the pitch at this point, rushed up to intercept Mata's cross.

However, Mata didn't mean to cross, and just as Max Alonso threw himself out to slide, Mata nudged the ball towards the baseline and then jumped up to avoid Marquez Alonso's tackle.

Now the Chelsea wing-back has no effect on the United attacking players because by the time he gets up from the ground, Valencia has already dribbled the ball into the box from the bottom line!!

In the penalty area, Kante gave up defending Li Qingshan, but gave Li Qingshan to Gary Cahill to mark, anyway, with Kante's height, it is difficult to limit Li Qingshan's header, and if Valencia, who is allowed to take the ball into the penalty area, does whatever he wants and does not defend, fools can know what the consequences will be!

Valencia didn't cross directly, he played the ball back to the unguarded Juan Mata in the corner of the box!

"Be careful!!

Chelsea fans were on their toes.

Gary Cahill was taken away by Li Qingshan, Matic participated in the attack in the front court and did not come back, at this time Mata had an open opportunity to shoot!

Mata didn't hesitate, he took a left-footed shot straight into the corner of the box and curled a shot!!

The ball went around the defenders in the box and around the palms of Courtois's flying hands.

It's a pity that it also bypassed the column at the far end and went out of the bottom line!!

Mata shoots!!! Ah... This ball is a little bit close!! ”

.......

Three minutes later, United's attack was back!!

Carrick sent a through ball in the midfield! Passed to Rashford who ran diagonally up front!

For Manchester United's attack this time, Chelsea's side made preparations in advance, and Matic who followed the defense was one step ahead of Rashford to get stuck in the line of Rashford's advance. As long as Rashford has the intention to catch the ball, he can definitely bump into him.

Marcus Rashford only had football in his eyes and he didn't really notice Nemanja Matic waiting for him where he received the ball, so it was no surprise that the two bumped into each other.

But the ball also hit Rashford's heel and bounced back to the left!

Left wing-back Alex Sandro cleverly cut forward to control the ball before distributing it to Pogba who ran to the left!!

Pogba played a fancy move this time, he passed the ball with his heel to Li Qingshan, who received in the middle!

Li Qingshan was about to shoot directly, causing Terry in front of him to make an outstretched foot to block the ball, but Li Qingshan let the football roll to his right, and then he moved sideways, and after bypassing Terry's defensive area, he picked up his right foot again!

This time it's for real!!

A Kick Shot!!

The ball flew past Terry and headed straight for the top right corner of the goal!

"Li Qingshan!!!"

To the commentator's exclamation, Courtois jumped almost reflexively, and he flew sideways to pounce on the ball over the crossbar!

"Pretty!! Courtois's brilliant save!!

"During this time, Manchester United had a succession of shots on goal!! Almost every time they can threaten the Chelsea goal!! They look like they're just a little bit away from scoring!! But even that little bit didn't get the ball on the back of the net for Chelsea, who were very resilient and their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was perfect!! It's no surprise that it's a title race and the Chelsea players have to do their best..."

The fans in the stands were quite excited, and during this time Manchester United were almost pressing Chelsea to play, and their attacking attacks can create a very big threat in every round, which gave the fans hope of scoring!

Chelsea really haven't been able to get any advantage during this time, on the field, Manchester United has had several consecutive attacks that threaten their goal, but Chelsea's counterattack cannot be organized, Hazard and others have not had a chance to get the ball for a while!

This made the Chelsea fans in front of the TV and in the stadium very anxious, but there was nothing they could do but hope that Chelsea would withstand the Manchester United attack first.

However, Manchester United's attack did not mean to cut in the slightest, and a Manchester United corner was kicked out of the box by Courtois.

But the periphery was still in the hands of Manchester United, and Carrick stopped the ball and continued to organise the attack!

Manchester United's attack was pouring into the Chelsea penalty area.
