Chapter 32 no.1

England was quite cold at the end of December, but the battle between the "Red Devils" Manchester United's away challenge to the "Blue Army" Chelsea at the end of this year has heated up several degrees of the entire England.

Two days before the game, the battle of words between Manchester United and Chelsea started. As two teams with poor performance last season, both ushered in an outbreak this season. The "Red Devils" Manchester United restored their youthful vitality because of the joining of Simon Grayson and Shaq, as well as the "brutal Simon" series of seemingly cruel transfer policies, while the "Blue Army" Chelsea was further strengthened because of Mourinho's careful training and successful signings.

It can be said that after half of this season, Manchester United's huge score difference of 11 points ahead of Chelsea has almost secured the championship. The "Blue Army" will be the last hurdle that the "Red Devils" need to overcome this season. If even Chelsea cannot stop Manchester United from moving forward at home, there will be no suspense in the Premier League this season, and Manchester United will definitely win the championship trophy.

Once Mourinho finds a way to defeat Manchester United and wins against Manchester United at home, Chelsea will provide others with a way to block Manchester United. After other teams follow suit, they may be able to pull Manchester United down again and again. At that time, the championship may be suspense again.

As Chelsea’s current number one star, Cavani is full of confidence in his team’s victory: “We have made all preparations and we can’t wait to play against Manchester United now. I believe that even if I can’t score in the game, I will contribute to the team’s offense!”

Having been at Chelsea for more than two years, the Uruguayan center has become an indispensable figure in the "Blue Army" formation. As Lampard, 36, is about to move forward, the old captain Terry is already 34 years old, and Cavani is already able to make his own voice in the Chelsea locker room.

French winger Jimmy Brian is more confident in his head coach: "Jose is a great coach, he will lead us to victory. No head coach can win so many championships and so many games like him! Everyone is talking about how outstanding Simon Grayson is, but in my opinion, Jose is no.1, and Jose is the real master coach."

The Chelsea stars here opened their mouths, and there were naturally some people who fought over Manchester United. Shaq didn't like to make noises. He always felt that it was meaningless, but "Little Fatty" didn't think so. Rooney, who was already fucked with a bad temper and fucked with a good moral, jumped out immediately.

"We will tear Chelsea completely at Stamford Bridge. We will use facts to tell them what kind of teams are qualified to win. Only teams like us led by head coach Simon and holding the banner of offensive football can win because we can score more goals than our opponents! Conservative 19th-century football is no longer suitable for today's world football!"

Nani also stood up to help: "Who is the best coach? Oh, does that mean? Of course, it's our current boss Simon, our Manchester United boss! Mourinho is indeed a good head coach, but his era has passed! Time is ruthless. Look at Sir Alex and Wenger. I think if Mourinho is smarter, it's better to retire and go home early."

After the stars of the two teams spitted on each other, England's football media came in. This time the game was a real top-ranking battle. Even the outcome of the game would not affect the rankings in the standings.

Last season, Simon Grayson coached the "Youth Guards", a team that was formed after years of training. Mourinho had just returned to England last year and received a ragged and trampled "Blue Army", so the fight between the two last season was completely incomparable.

But this season, Simon Grayson took over the stronger "Red Devils". Mourinho's team was finally made into a good position by him again, so the two of them had the opportunity to have a real conversation. Who is the No.1 in the English coaching circle? I believe there should be an answer this time.

As soon as the English media got involved, the top battle at the end of 2014 had a different color. Simon Grayson and Mourinho were the best, which became the biggest highlight of this game.

However, the media only focused on the confrontation between the two famous coaches, and they did not compare the players. The facts have long proved that the "Red Devils" have an absolute advantage in the quality of the stars.

Just a Shaq, there is no such powerful player in Chelsea. He scored 32 goals in 18 league games this season and 55 goals in 27 games in various competitions. In the face of such magical data, any player can only bow his head.

Originally, there was a "beast" Tevez who could compete with Shaq at the beginning of the season, but it was destroyed by Van Gaal himself. Now the fans of Leeds United oppose Van Gaal are already very loud. Last season's "four champions" were played by Van Gaal and only ranked sixth in the league. The Netherlands is much more urinary than Moyes. Moyes took over the old Manchester United, so he failed to achieve good results. But you, Van Gaal, took over a "Youth Guards" with a reasonable age structure and just set sail to create history!

In addition to Shaq, Manchester United's Rooney, Ganso, Papadopoulos, Nani, Flani, Van der Welcom, Jose Angel, De Gea, Van Persie and other stars are all very powerful and popular. Chelsea's players are all powerful players who are suitable for Mourinho's conservative tactics, and they are still at a disadvantage in the lineup competition.

There was a lot of noise outside the outside world, but the two parties involved, Simon Grayson and Mourinho, both seemed very silent. Simon Grayson was not a person who likes to spit. Mourinho seemed extremely low-key last season after returning to England. He was still the same this season, and it was a bit like a return to nature, but no one knew whether he thought so.

At 19:00 p.m. on December 31, the Stamford Bridge Stadium in London was already packed. The stadium that could accommodate 41,841 people had 41,829 spectators. The entire stadium had become a sea of ​​blue, except for the visiting stands with only a pitiful 2,000 tickets, which had a touch of red.

In the home team's locker room, Mourinho was still reminding his players with a serious expression: "Defense! Our defense must be stable! Every time you get a counterattack and rush up, you must carefully pay attention to whether it leaves a loophole in counterattack for the opponent! And when attacking, we must focus on the sidelines, so that we can get more time to complete the defense when they defend us!"

Chelsea players listened very seriously and very carefully. They came to Stamford Bridge Stadium not to enjoy the fruits of success, but to work with Mourinho, a coach with personality, to push the team to success again.

Among the 11 Chelsea starting players, except for Terry and Cech, there are no players Mourinho coached ten years ago. Even the younger Cech is already 32 years old, and Terry is already 34 years old. The two of them are just in good condition and can play the role of a stabilizing sea needle, so they have always occupied the main lineup. For example, Lampard is in poor condition because he is old and has no position in the first team this season. He is just waiting for the end of this season to announce his retirement.

At 19:45 pm, the top battle at Stamford Bridge Stadium, which was paid attention to by billions of people, finally began...

After referee Jon Moss whistled, the away team Manchester United took the lead in kicking off the ball, and the next step was to pass it "papapapapapapapapapa". Now Manchester United's ability to control the ball is getting stronger and stronger, and the pace of passing and controlling will not be too fast. Only when they find a good opportunity will they suddenly accelerate. This way of playing looks very chic and free.

But when the ball was sent from the left to Gansuo's feet, the Brazilian wanted to drive the ball to break through his national teammate David Luis, and was tackled by a friend who was very familiar with him.

When it was Chelsea's turn to attack, people found that the "Blue Army" was different from the past. In the past, Chelsea's offense always gave people a sharp and rapid feeling, but this time they always controlled the ball after taking the ball, took a few steps and then divided the ball to the side, then dribbled the ball, and passed the ball again. After Mata and Cavani all the way to the side and gave Balaz Rudzak to the left, Chelsea's offense suddenly turned from the side to the middle. Unfortunately, the cross from the Hungarian international was blocked by Van der Weill from the baseline...corner kick.

Chelsea's corner kick did not create any murderous intent, but Simon Grayson had already frowned. He was a little confused about the "Blue Army" today, or it should be said that he couldn't understand what Mourinho wanted to do today.

The "Blue Army" is quite normal when defending. It compresses the activity space of Manchester United players during attack by returning to defense. This is one of Mourinho's special skills, but it is very puzzling when attacking. Several of their midfielders always take a few steps after getting the ball, and then divide the side when attracting opponents to defend. Even when counterattacking, they always go on the side. Even when counterattacking quickly from the side, the players who are riding the ball will slow down and wait... What the hell is this playing?

The more Simon Grayson looked, the tighter his brows became. Mourinho's tactical arrangement today gave him a feeling of being crazy. This Portuguese seemed to have a short-circuited brain.

But just after the 18th minute of the game, Simon Grayson suddenly understood Mourinho's tactical intentions because Manchester United... lost the goal!

First, Chelsea No. 17 Jimmy Berian was knocked down by Jose and Angel outside the penalty area on the right, and then left winger Hungarian international Balatz Rudzak kicked a shocking World Cup with his left foot, directly hanging the ball into the blind corner of the Manchester United goal guarded by De Gea... 1:0, Chelsea, who played at home, took the lead!
Chapter completed!
