Chapter 466 You Need to Imagine Yourself as Jiang Walker came to the right baseline and challenged Ashley Young is completely manageable for Ashley Young. The Englishman is very fast, but he is a defender after all. Snapped! Walker made a horizontal pass and the ball was given directly to Jiang Yuan. Okay, now it’s Valencia’s turn, but he is not defending Walker, but Jiang Yuan who suddenly runs up from the left. Jiang Yuan challenges Valencia! Although their position was still relatively far back, Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry and gradually narrowed the distance between himself and Valencia. “Here!” Hazard cut in from Valencia's left side, and the sound of his shouting made Valencia turn his head to take a look. It's an opportunity! Seeing Valencia turn his head to look at Hazard, Jiang Yuan directly passed the ball to his left foot and rushed out from Valencia's right side with a burst of speed. "wow!!"
The fans began to cheer. It’s this familiar feeling when it comes to blasting down the wing! Coming near the bottom line! "Take a look!" Rangnick was cheering wildly on the sidelines. Jiang Yuan is a two-foot player who can both cross the ball and cut inside to shoot directly. The consequences of letting him enter Manchester United's bottom line will be very serious! Manchester United can't afford this risk! Of course, Bailly had already run towards Jiang Yuan without Rangnick's reminder. Standing with one foot in front of the other is a standard side defensive move. We'll guard one way and release the other, and see which way Jiang Yuan plans to go! Facing Bailly, Jiang Yuan first did a few bicycle kicks, and after observing and feeling that his hope of getting to the bottom was slim, he started to cut inside. But Jiang Yuan didn't notice Valencia catching up from behind. Valencia and Bailly directly trapped Jiang Yuan who cut inside. I rely on! Jiang Yuan tripped and fell to the ground. The referee decisively awarded a free kick! Damn it! Jiang Yuan slammed his right hand on the grass. He was a little annoyed by his opponent's foul. "Come!" Valencia pulled Jiang Yuan up from the ground. The referee was drawing the line and Jiang Yuan held the ball in his hands. He was thinking about how to take advantage of this ball opportunity. Direct shot or cross?
With his hands hanging naturally at the edge of his shorts, Jiang Yuan made a thumbs-up gesture to his teammates in the penalty area. This is Jiang Yuan’s secret signal, meaning to knock on the door directly! "Jiang Yuan, take a run and shoot directly!" "De Gea hit the ball out!" “But it wasn’t cleared!” "Kante takes the ball off and passes it to Pogba!" "Pogba kicks it!" With a loud bang, Pogba's long shot hit the crossbar heavily and the ball flew out again. "I come!" Zouma shouted, pressed down Matic, and successfully headed the ball over the crossbar. "Jesus!" After three failed attempts at goal, Tuchel didn't know what to say. In the camera, Zouma covered his face with his hands. Ibrahimovic came over and patted him a few times, signaling Zouma to return to defense quickly. The camera turned to Rangnick on the visiting team's bench, and Rangnick's expression now seemed a little more relaxed. Chelsea's offense is very strong, which will put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense. But if Chelsea players didn't wear shooting boots today, it would be easy to deal with! It just so happens that after Rashford's rise, Manchester United has reached its peak level this season. From this perspective, it seems that they can indeed compete with Chelsea? "It's too far, come back!" "Move! Movemove!" The coaches of both sides were giving instructions. Mkhitaryan tackled Pogba who was dribbling the ball and Chelsea switched from offense to defense. Jiang Yuan did not run back immediately because he felt that Mkhitaryan seemed to have committed a foul. There was no foul in the end! Damn it! Without saying a word, he quickly retreated, and Mkhitaryan dribbled the ball forward on his own with a decent speed. Directly to Rashford! "Rashford, Rashford is pulling to the side!" "Lukaku has already run to the middle, but Chelsea's defenders are keeping close to him. At the moment, Manchester United don't have any good chances." "Look at Rashford's one-on-one fight with Walker!" Rashford first did a few simple bicycle kicks, then used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball inside, and after Walker's center of gravity moved sideways, Rashford suddenly made a cut and passed the ball to his left foot.
!!! Walker knew he had made a mistake and reached out to pull Rashford down, but he didn't touch the latter at all. Rashford came to the baseline and cooperated with Matic who came over to support him. After Rashford had created some distance between himself and Walker, Matic returned the ball to Rashford. Rashford kicked the ball into the penalty area in the middle! Lukaku! boom! Lukaku's header hit the post and flew out. "call……" Tuchel raised his hands. so close! Almost made it in the true sense. In the 30th minute of the game, Chelsea had 66% of the ball possession, but neither side had scored any goals. The score is still 0:0! [Neither side can shoot, right?] [This is how strong teams play against strong teams. There aren’t many chances to begin with, and they can’t grasp them.] [Can Chelsea give Manchester United a penalty? I feel like Xiao Jiang can’t play unless he falls behind] [God damn, I won’t play unless I’m behind. Although Jiang Yuan is indeed stronger when the score is behind…] [Can you get stronger? Jiang Yuan was already very C in this game. Even if you replace him with Ronaldo, he probably won’t be able to play as well as Jiang Yuan.] [It's not an estimate, it's a certainty. Jiang Yuan and Hazard's cooperation has been practiced to the point of being integrated. The two of them pass the ball really fast.] [Rashford is so awesome, he is so good at the age of 20, his talent overflows the screen] [He is really good, but I feel Rashford is not as good as Jiang Yuan when he was 17 years old] The first half of the game continued and the expressions of both head coaches were a little unhappy. Tuchel looked unhappy because Chelsea players were not in good shooting form today. Rangnick's expression was not good because he was confused. In theory, high-pressure pressing means taking the ball from the opponent's offensive players and then launching an attack yourself. Manchester United is implementing a high-pressing tactic, and several forwards are indeed running hard on the field. The question is, why does Chelsea's possession rate remain high? Rangnick thought for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. Because the players on the opposing team are too abnormal, Kante, Hazard, and Pogba.
7000 million, million, 9000 million, how can Manchester United break Chelsea's midfield? Just as he was thinking about the opposing midfielder, Pogba made a long pass and accurately hit William. William stretched out his right foot and stuck the ball firmly on the instep, showing his excellent ball sense to the home fans. “Ohh!!” The first choice when getting the ball on the wing is of course to go down the wing, but William did not do that, mainly because Manchester United had too many defensive players on the wing. It looks like a three-defender formation, but in order to restrict Jiang Yuan and William, Manchester United's lineup on the field gradually evolved into a five-defender formation. Ashley Young and Valencia just stayed near the baseline and didn't come out! But going down the rim is certainly not the only option. After observing for a while, William passed the ball back to Walker who was coming from behind. Walker ran towards the right baseline, while William moved towards the middle. Chelsea's left side is the stage for Jiang Yuan and Hazard, while the right side is the collaborative performance of William and Walker. However, Walker just came here this season, and William just returned from injury, so the cooperation between the two of them is a little bit unfamiliar. But it doesn’t matter, Manchester United’s defense itself has flaws. "Walker dribbled the ball to the wing and William ran to the middle" Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel. "Yes, Chelsea needs to play this kind of cooperation now" "Because compared to Manchester United's overall open and aggressive style of play, Chelsea's passing and control is relatively smooth. Of course, I am not denying Chelsea's long pass ability, but what I mean is that Chelsea's passing and control are top-notch in the entire Premier League." "Tuchel's tactics don't emphasize passing the ball too much, but the Blues players have formed a tacit cooperation." "Let's take a look, just give it to the wing!" "William has the ball and can now go to the right. There are many people on Manchester United's back line. William can take Walker with him. This is an idea." "Move to the right, Manchester United's pressing is very strong!" "There's no other way, William can only pass the ball!" "Give it to Kante" Kante caught the ball kicked by William and then quickly advanced forward with the ball. This was a long-range shot opportunity. If it was Pogba, he would have shot directly, but Kante's way of handling the ball was a little conservative. To Hazard on the left. Seeing that it was Hazard who got the ball, Jiang Yuan ran directly to the middle and passed the ball to Azpilicueta who was running up at the left bottom line. It was a very strange move that Chelsea concentrated all their attacking players in the middle. Jiang Yuan ran in front of Hazard, who gently pushed the ball forward and then ran to the left. This was a perfect cross-run, Chelsea dispersed the offensive players that had just been concentrated in the middle! Chelsea's attack was smooth, but Manchester United was a bit at a loss. Bailly, who had just run to the middle with Jiang Yuan, now didn't know whether he should go back. Forget it, just keep an eye on Jiang Yuan! Looking back, Jiang Yuanren was gone!
??? Looking back, Jiang Yuan had already reached Manchester United's penalty area! Snapped! Hazard made a long pass to the right, Walker stopped the ball and then continued Manchester United's defense. Manchester United now has at least 7 players in the penalty area! The players are all in the penalty area, so there is a position that must be fought for. Top of the arc! Running out of the penalty area, Jiang Yuan was about to take a position at the top of the arc, but Bailly was right next to him. Try a physical confrontation. Can't hit it! There was no one at the top of the arc, and Walker felt a little uncomfortable, so he threw the ball into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic and Smalling compete for the header. The two people are about the same height, it just depends on who has a better timing in jumping! boom! Smalling headed the ball out. "Give it to me!" Jiang Yuan volleyed the ball directly into De Gea's arms. "Fuck!" Ibrahimovic and Jiang Yuan shouted at the same time. "No way..." People in the Chelsea camp felt a little uncomfortable, while Manchester United breathed a sigh of relief. There is an element of luck involved. But you just tell me whether you have kept it or not! "Chelsea!" "Chelsea!" The fans were cheering, and Jiang Yuan thought carefully on his way back to defense. The failure to score goals may not be entirely Chelsea's fault. Rangnick is very smart. He makes Manchester United's backcourt players shrink together every time he defends. The defensive players were standing closely together, which led to Chelsea taking continuous long shots. The success rate of long shots is very low, Chelsea needs better opportunities! “Let’s go!” At the end of the first half, the Blues players came to the sidelines. Ibrahimovic washed his hands and face with mineral water, and then smashed the mineral water bottle to the ground. "Fuck! Damn!"
Tuchel and Azpilicueta walked towards Ibrahimovic together and put their hands on his back, which was just a simple consolation. Jiang Yuan didn't go over after seeing the situation, because his own condition was not very good. "it's okay no problem" Hazard handed Jiang Yuan a bottle of mineral water and said: "Their play was disgusting. If we make some adjustments in the second half, we will have a chance." call…… With a long sigh, Jiang Yuan quickly ran back to the locker room. …… In the away team's locker room, Rangnick came in and closed the door. "I still say that, pressing, you can't just press a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time is not pressing" "Why is the ball always at the opponent's feet? It's because our high pressure has not been fully implemented yet." "Jiang, Hazard, and William, these three players are very strong. I know you are under a lot of pressure. The best way is to prevent them from getting the ball. Press them and force them to make mistakes." Rangnick quickly moved the magnetic flag on the tactical board: "Especially Jiang, he is very good, but his ball sense is actually average. If you go up and press, he will make mistakes, believe me." The Manchester United players in the locker room didn't say anything, they all listened very carefully. Among them, Rashford has the most positive attitude. He was just promoted to the first team last winter and is now only a small player. Now is the rising period, Rashford's salary is very low compared with the entire Manchester United team, he needs to stabilize his starting position! "Our opponents like to cross-run, you should have noticed that. You played a little hesitantly in the first half, but let me explain here that in the second half we will just mark the players. It doesn't matter if Jiang and Hazard run around everywhere. The people defending Jiang should keep an eye on Jiang, and the people defending Hazard should keep an eye on Hazard. You need a clear division of labor so that you can improve the overall defensive efficiency." wow—— Rangnick pushed the tactical board away and the wheels rolled very smoothly on the floor. Before the start of the new season, the locker room at Stamford Bridge was renovated and the equipment was brand new. His eyes turned to De Gea, then to Matic, Valencia, Rashford, and Lukaku. These are Manchester United's starting players today. "You need to be more confident. The opponent is not necessarily stronger than us. We have a chance to win, and this chance is not small. Our probability of winning the game is very high!" Walked up to Rashford: "Marcus!" Ok? Rashford raised his head and looked at Rangnick: "Is there anything I need to do?" “No, you don’t need to do much.” Rangnick put his hands on Rashford's shoulders: "The second half of the game is about to start. You play on the left, and Jiang also plays on the left. Do you understand what I mean?" "You need to imagine yourself as Jiang, think about what he did, and your ability can help the team!" Unable to find a breakthrough through normal play, Rangnick decided to try hypnosis.
