Chapter 203 Suppressive First Half

"Beautiful!! Signature header!! Li Qingshan helped Manchester United take the lead!! Andy Gray was in the commentary box, and like the fans around him, he also stood up and spoke in a rather emotional tone.

'Courtois couldn't do anything about the ball, a header from such close range. He saved several must-score chances in quick succession, but Courtois couldn't do anything about it in the face of such a powerful header!! Duan Xuan was also excited, "Now Manchester United is ahead!" This game looks like Manchester United have a lot of hope of winning!! ”

"If we can lead the second place by six points, there is basically no suspense about the Premier League title this season!!"

Duan Xuan was right, that's why the Manchester United players after the lead were so excited.

In the TV screen, Manchester United's players Li Qingshan were pressed under him, and the players pressed together, forming a pile, like a pile of grain in autumn. The players on the bench also rushed up, roaring and jumping up, making the pile even bigger.

Manchester United's coach's bench was also not calm, Ancelotti rushed out, but the old Italian man was obviously too fat, the field that was watered before the game was a little slippery, and Ancelotti, who was wearing leather shoes and trousers, slipped to the ground and rolled around on the field.

Ryan Giggs quickly helped the manager up, but Ancelotti didn't care that the image of him falling was seen by thousands of fans, and he and Giggs hugged and celebrated.

The stands were already boiling over, and the United fans cheered, waving towels, waving the United flag and singing Manchester United songs.

Champion!!

The Premier League champions are coming their way!

Several United casualties in the stands also rose from their seats, and cameras quickly found them.

Everyone at Manchester United is celebrating.

And every Chelsea person is frustrated.

Conte was not angry, he just rubbed his stiff face after Li Qingshan headed the ball into the goal, and turned to his assistant with a wry smile.

What can he do, before the game starts, he knows that Chelsea will be difficult to resist Manchester United's attack, so he wants Chelsea's attack to play and use the attack to suppress Manchester United.

But Chelsea was soon pressed back by Manchester United, under the leadership of Li Qingshan, Manchester United's attack in the front field was very sharp, and quite stable, relying on Li Qingshan, the fulcrum of the front, Manchester United has a lot of ways to push the ball to the front of the Chelsea penalty area.

In the face of Manchester United's continuous attack, Chelsea's goal miss was expected...

......

When the game resumed, United were even more excited after the goal, while Chelsea's side were battered by conceding goals and completely suppressed in attack, and it looked like morale was already a little low.

In the 38th minute, Carrick picked up the ball near the centre circle, combined with Pogba to push the ball across the half court, and then sent a through ball near the centre circle.

Li Qingshan turned his back to the goal and got the ball near the top of the arc of the penalty area.

In the face of the close pressing of the opponent's central defender, Li Qingshan protected the ball, and through the corner of his eye, he saw that there were Chelsea players on his left and right sides to take care of, he wanted to turn around and break through the goal, but now seeing this situation, he also gave up his plan to come hard.

Since you don't come by yourself, you naturally have to pass the ball.

Li Qingshan saw the position of Mata, who first ran vertically, and then suddenly came horizontally, temporarily getting rid of the pursuers.

Li Qingshan sent the ball in time, and the ball was very comfortable, allowing Mata to shoot directly without adjusting his pace.

Sure enough, Juan Mata picked up his left foot in the middle of the run and volleyed the ball!

The ball was pressed low and the ball slid against the turf towards the goal.

"Mata shoots!!"

There was cheering from the stands.

However, the ball ended up hitting the feet of Max Alonso, who retreated to the goal line to defend, and went out of the line!

"Mata..... Yes!! Andy Gray exclaimed. United missed another chance to score when Juan Mata struck a defender and off the line. Max Alonso's defense this time is very crucial! It's a goal-line rescue! ”

.....

In the 40th minute, Manchester United's attack became more ferocious.

In the Football Cup, United were ripe for a pass down the left flank, and Marcus Rashford received a pass close to the bottom line, then adjusted slightly before slotting it into the box.

However, David Luiz at the front post headed the ball out of the box first.

Pogba, who was outside the box, stopped the ball, then shook his upper body and suddenly shot at his feet!

A kick to shoot!

He was aiming for the back post of the goal, and the ball went through the defenders in the box and went straight to the back post.

The shot was actually very sudden, and everyone thought that he would only shoot after opening the angle laterally, but he only did half the action and shot straight at the goal.

However, Courtois was very focused, and because it was a clever shot, the ball was not very fast, so he could reflect it in time.

However, in the face of such a shot at a tricky angle, Courtois was able to reflect well, so he could only barely pull the ball off the line with his fingertips.

Next up is a Manchester United corner!

Juan Mata was in charge of the penalty.

In the face of Manchester United's corner, Chelsea's side was like a big enemy, everyone came back to participate in the defence, even Willian stood next to the goalpost, leaving only Hazard in front of the field to see if there was a chance to counter-attack.

However, Hazard standing in front and waiting for a counterattack is destined not to wait, and no one can grab a point in this situation to grab Li Qingshan.

"The first point is still Li Qingshan's!!" Duan Xuan's tone was a little regretful, but he still praised Li Qingshan's performance.

Li Qingshan jumped high, but he couldn't get the goal on target due to the interference of two defenders.

The soccer ball rises over the crossbar.

Even so, the Chelsea players were taken aback.

The first half was drawing to a close, but the Chelsea players were not thinking about equalising but about getting as long as possible because the Reds were so ferocious.

Courtois slowly put the ball in place, and at the urging of the referee, he drove to the front with a big foot.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United also started the final attack of the first half.

With Valencia's final cross out of the touchline, referee Oliver looked at his watch and blew three whistles to blow the whistle for the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Chelsea 1-0!

The players from both sides walked off the pitch, and the first half of the game could be seen from the expressions of both sides.

The United players had smiles on their faces, they chatted with each other and they walked out of the pitch with all the smiles on their faces.

Most of the Chelsea players looked grim and their faces were crumbling.
