Chapter 158: Qingshan is not having a good time
Li Qingshan did not wait for the head coach to adjust and made his own assertions, and it turned out that he was right.
Because Chelsea were on the attack very quickly!
Chelsea's players are also seasoned stars and they know that United are in the most precarious period of the situation, with the balance of formation having been upset with a man fresh out of midfield, and Chelsea will certainly be looking to capitalise on this chaotic period for the Reds to score early.
However, when Li Qingshan and Mata returned to the midfield, Manchester United's defense did not weaken much, and Manchester United still seemed to have enough manpower to participate in the defense in the midfield.
Eden Hazard fell to the right of the attack, very far from goal, so Chelsea did not intend to play a free-kick, but instead played the ball back to the back line and prepared to organise another attack.
N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic are the big men in midfield, and their presence makes Chelsea's central defence unusually solid, but it can be difficult for them to organise attacks.
So Chelsea's attacking play is like to play wide, their two wing-backs are good in attack, and in the forward line, Chelsea's two wingers, Willian and Eden Hazard, have super individual ability. With such an advantage in attacking from the wings, Chelsea's two wide corridors have been the source of their attack this season.
Right central defender Azpilicueta took the ball, and Rashford, who was in the forward position, stepped forward to grab the ball in a harassing nature, most of the purpose of this kind of robbery is to try his luck, because in the case of one less player, Manchester United will never take the initiative to press high, if Manchester United's formation presses up, for Chelsea who plays one more person, Manchester United's defense is behind a flat grassland, whether it is Willian or Hazard, they are always staring at the space behind Manchester United's backline.
Marcus Rashford's harassment had little effect, as Cesar Azpilicueta played the ball to Moses who came back from the flank.
Marcus Rashford is ready to keep coming back.
"Don't come back!!"
Li Qingshan said behind him.
"In front of their centre-backs!!"
Even with one man less, United need someone to keep Chelsea's centre-backs at bay and not leave Chelsea's backline without any pressure, so they can attack more recklessly.
Marcus Rashford continued to stay up front, alongside three of Chelsea's centre-backs.
Chelsea's centre-backs were not in a hurry, and Azpilicueta had intended to press with him, but after seeing Marcus Rashford, he changed his mind, and even if the centre-backs didn't press, Chelsea's attack had plenty of men involved.
Moses receives the ball and turns, he is ready to create Willian in the frontcourt, Chelsea's wide attack is not complicated, the wingback looks for a winger, the winger takes the ball or breaks through, or attracts the defense and then finds a wingback who is inserted. The two wide players took turns attacking the opposition's defence, always finding some holes.
However, Pogba cut off the line between Moses and Willian, and Moses did not plan to make a long overhead pass to find a winger, because such a success rate is not high, and it will be difficult for Willian to move forward even if he gets the ball. Now Chelsea have a numerical advantage, so they don't plan to take any chances.
Moses was about to find a midfielder to transition to respond, but at this time, Li Qingshan came up and blocked his pass to the midfield.
At this time, Moses could actually choose to continue to pass back to central defender Azpilicueta, but at this time Rashford's role was reflected, he stood next to Azpilicueta, so that Moses did not dare to pass back.
Moses stopped the ball, and he looked at Li Qingshan, who was approaching him.
In fact, at this time, Moses has a more safe way to deal with it, that is, to pass the ball long to the left side, or directly forward long pass, so that the striker of his side can try his luck.
However, after seeing Li Qingshan, Moses changed his mind.
Nigerian Moses was originally Crystal Palace's leading scorer, that is, this guy was originally a striker.
However, after being brought in by Chelsea, Moses struggled to compete with Chelsea's big-name players in the attack, so he was frequently loaned out and played for Liverpool and Stoke City. Moses returned to Stamford Bridge in 2016 but still had few appearances.
But after Conte took over Chelsea, he transformed Moses, who was physically strong, physically fit, and had decent speed, into a wing-back! Moses' strong physicality and excellent longitudinal commuting ability earned him a place in the main force.
However, despite playing as wing-back, there are times when Moses still shows his striker attributes.
For example... The adventurous nature of the strikers.
This time Moses' choice made Conte angry, and instead of choosing a safer pass, he chosen... Anyone.
It was Li Qingshan who he was going to pass.
Moses looked at Li Qingshan coming towards him, and thought to himself: "It's good for you Li Qingshan to play as a striker, but I haven't heard that you can play in the midfield and make defensive contributions." ”
Moses looked at the space behind Li Qingshan, as long as Li Qingshan was passed, Chelsea's offensive situation suddenly opened up, and Moses himself could even dribble the ball through the half, and then Manchester United's improvised patchwork defensive system would definitely be chaotic.
The temptation to succeed led Moses to ignore the consequences of failure.
Strikers, always adventurous in their bones...
This guy wants me?!
Li Qingshan read the other party's meaning from Moses' eyes.
He looked at Rashford's position and was ready.
In fact, Li Qingshan's defensive skills are very bad, but he can't stop his prediction.
Moses stepped on the bicycle several times in front of Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan did not move.
And when Moses was about to flick the ball forward and lead the ball away, Li Qingshan stepped out.
With his long legs stretched, Li Qingshan left the ball with his right foot, and the ball at Moses' feet was suddenly hooked away by Li Qingshan, and he stumbled on Li Qingshan's feet with one foot!
Lost the goal!! Worst!!!
Moses then remembered the terrible consequences of conceding the ball in this position.
He hurriedly stepped forward, ready to entangle Li Qingshan.
But what Li Qingshan left Moses with was a hard back.... Moses rushed forward and hit Li Qingshan's back, and fell to the ground after being knocked to the ground.
Moses spread his hands and protested that Li Qingshan was a foul, but Oliver waved his arm and motioned for Moses to hurry up!!
At this time, no one paid attention to Moses, and Li Qingshan moved forward with the ball!!
Marcus Rashford runs sideways along Chelsea's centre-back line when Cesar Azpilicueta comes up to intercept Li Qingshan!!
Li Qingshan pushed his feet... Rashford plugged in in reverse!!
"Marcus Rashford!!"
