Chapter 206: Confrontation
Chapter 206 Confrontation
The United fans in the stands were not as optimistic as they had been before, and they were starting to worry about the team's defence.
However, United's players did not strengthen the number of defenders in defence, but continued to attack.
For Manchester United, if a goal is scored at this time, it can not only suppress Chelsea's attack, but also help the team expand the score!
Of course, attacking is a risk, and sometimes it depends on how the team chooses.
Li Qingshan, as a striker, of course, hopes that the team can continue to attack, so that he can have room to play.
In the 61st minute of the game, United launched a fast attack.
Marcus Rashford burst forward on the left flank and Moses had to bring him down to stop him, only to receive a yellow card for the foul.
"The third yellow card of the game appeared!! Moses!! The Chelsea right wing-back was booked for defending Marcus Rashford and now the two sides are completely in tune with the tempo and the game is very fast-paced and the scene is spectacular!! United's wide burst was sudden and successful..."
Victor Moses halted United's fast run with a yellow card, followed by a free-kick from the left side of midfield.
Left wing-back Alex Sandro came to take the free-kick and he drove it into the Chelsea box. However, the ball was not served well, the ball speed did not rise, and Courtois attacked and won!
Instead, it was Chelsea counter-attacking and Thibaut Courtois tossed the ball to Moses, who then passed it to Cesc Fabregas in midfield.
Cesc Fabregas was quick to pass the ball and he immediately moved to the left of the attacking direction, where Eden Hazard was responding!!
Hazard dodged Valencia's save with a deft turn, and then faced the menacing Cramer who came over with a very deft turn to avoid Kramer's tackle!!
Boos erupted from the stands, and Belgian Eden Hazard was facing Manchester United's backline straight after he got past Kramer!
Eric Bailly stepped forward to defend and he and Hummels formed a deep formation!
However, Hazard did not choose to continue the pass, he took the ball sideways and the ball slipped past Bailly!!
Diego Costa cut in diagonally from the other side, and he took a step to get the ball out of the way and past Hummels.
Hummels didn't dare to reach out for a foul because he was already on the edge of the penalty area, and if he fouled in this position, the referee would lose more than he would lose if he gave a penalty...
However, despite Hummels' tallness, his turn is not slow at all!!
Before Diego Costa could turn around, Hummels was already following.
Diego Costa wanted to get in and shoot straight at goal, but Hummels followed so closely that he didn't get up and shoot. However, Costa couldn't do anything, so he immediately used another trick.
He immediately separated the ball from Hummels with his body, and as soon as Hummels got on it, Diego Costa screamed and rolled on the ground several times, startling the United players.
The referee, Oliver, was not deceived by Diego Costa's tricks, he saw that the football had been kicked out of the line, and he immediately blew the whistle and ran to the scene of the incident.
Yellow Card Warning!!
"Oliver gave Diego Costa a yellow card, I have to say, Diego Costa's performance is too clumsy...."Duan Xuan was indignant.
Diego Costa doesn't matter, he's a striker anyway, he's not a defender, and he's got a yellow card.
Diego paid for his fake-and-roll fall, and then the enraged United immediately responded with attack.
Li Qingshan returned to the midfield to get the ball, he took the ball and turned around, Terry did not keep up with his rhythm, and just before the other Chelsea players came to make up for it, Li Qingshan passed the ball to the right side!!
Juan Mata received the ball and faced Max Alonso who pounced on him, Mata picked the ball up, and the ball flew over the head of Max Alonso, who fell to the ground, and the ball also crossed Gary Cahill's defensive area!
At the edge of the Chelsea backline, there is a tearing strip between Gary Cahill and John Terry, where there is hardly a single Chelsea player!!
Only a red figure rushed up!!
Marcus Rashford!!
'Marcus Rashford !!'
Rashford led the ball towards the goal at the shouts of the commentator, and he had formed a one-on-one momentum!!
Courtois is out of the door!! The decibels reached the highest point since the start of the game, and the fans of Manchester United cheered desperately!
"Marcus Rashford!! Marcus Rashford!!!!! Andy Grey keeps repeating Rashford's name!!
It's a single-edged ball!!
Conte's eyes were almost protruding, his eyes widening at what was happening in the penalty area!
If the goal goes in and the score becomes 2-0, Chelsea will be in danger.
Even if Chelsea equalise and draw away to Manchester United in the following period, it will not quench Chelsea's thirst and they must win this game!
The current situation is really exciting for Conte...
Marcus Rashford soon met Thibaut Thibaut in the box!!
'Rashford !!!'
The fans in the stands were ready to celebrate, and Carlo Ancelotti looked into the box with anticipation.
Now the other players of Manchester United have no time to rush to the penalty area, Li Qingshan has withdrawn to the midfield, and he will not be able to arrive for a while.
Marcus Rashford has to come on his own!
He crossed left and right, pedaled a bike, and then slammed into the cornerline. He's going to get past the goalkeeper!!
However, Courtois was not fooled by his feints, he quickly fell to the ground and slid the ball away from Rashford's feet!!
The United fans in the stands sighed, and Rashford also held his head in his hands with a look of regret.
"Ahhhhh Rashford was too hesitant to handle the ball with a single shot!! Duan Xuan also regretted very much, the TV broadcast camera was still showing the scene where Rashford dealt with the one-knife ball just now, but before the replay was finished, there was a sharp boo on the TV screen!
The TV screen immediately cut back to the live picture!
'Chelsea's counter-attack!! Eden Hazard takes the ball!! Duan Xuan exclaimed.
Duan Xuan in the commentary box saw it more clearly than the audience in front of the TV, and after Courtois fished the ball away from Rashford's feet, he immediately threw the ball into the midfield!
Eden Hazard now received a pass from Cesc Fabregas and dribbled past Carrick before diving straight into the box!!
Chelsea only had two players in the box, while Manchester United had four players in the box, and they had the advantage in numbers, but there was still a boo in the stands at this time, because two of the four players in the United had just returned to the box, and in fact the only ones who could stop Hazard were goalkeeper David De Gea and central defender Hummels!!
Hazard didn't make a feint, he cut inside in the middle and his pace was very fast!!
Hummels didn't follow up and Hazard was quick to finish with his right foot!!
The soccer ball goes behind the goal...
De Gea fell to the ground to save, but the ball slipped over the palm of his hand...
