Manchester United's heir apparent, but can't play football.

Chapter 147 Dogs, Cats, and Bees!

The camera focused on close-ups of several Chelsea players.

On the defensive end: His eyes were serious, and his face was bitter.

On the offensive end: they were eager to try and looked relaxed, showing no signs of dejection despite being behind in the score.

"The composure of the Premier League defending champions."

“Hazard, Diego Costa and others like them have always been very confident since their debut.”

The game restarted in the middle circle.

Diego Costa kicks off and passes the ball back into the backfield.

Chelsea's ability to create their own attacks when in possession is far superior to that of many defensively-minded teams.

The tactical role of "one core" is like a gacha game, constantly changing. Sometimes it's Diego Costa, sometimes Hazard, sometimes Willian, sometimes Oscar.

Depending on the battle situation, whoever you draw is who you get!

The tactical roles of the "two pivots" are also changing.

This is crucial, although the magnitude of the change is relatively small.

The tactical role of the "three attack paths" remains unchanged, but it will be affected by the two variables mentioned earlier, leading to different attack results.

For example, different combinations of elements result in different damage effects.

"With a one-goal lead, Manchester United did not choose to park the bus, but instead launched a high press."

"Very respectable."

"The aura that a wealthy family should have."

Van Gaal's high-pressing style differs from that of other factions.

for example.

General high-pressure tactics: 1. Frenzied pressing to counterattack; 2. High intensity throughout the game, without letting up; 3. Compact positioning.

'Woof woof woof.'

The high-pressing style of the head coach: 1. Precisely deploying traps to serve the defense; 2. Localized high intensity and precise application of force; 3. Flexible positioning.

Meow meow meow.

Then.

What kind of pressure does Lao Fan exert from his high position?

1. Prioritize regional blocking; I don't know why this service is being used.

2. Medium intensity, apply pressure as needed.

3. Wide-space positioning without possession of the ball, which violates common sense in football.

‘Buzz buzz~’

Although he is called Chef Fan, he can make any dish with any ingredients.

However, this guy relies heavily on the player's tactical execution, anticipation, vision, and reading ability on the defensive end.

VIP private room.

Abu's eyes were full of admiration.

His expression grew increasingly fanatical.

"The football that Manchester United is playing now is exactly what I want."

"Four years ago, I offered Van Gaal a contract, but he stubbornly stayed at Bayern Munich."

The passing of the football between the blue jerseys is very simple.

In an instant, it rolled to Oscar's feet.

In that brief moment, at the edge of the camera's view, Diego Costa charged like a heavy tank between Manchester United's two lines, sometimes poking Smalling's balls, sometimes flicking Blind's lobs, and uttering lewd remarks that made people blush.

This is the combat characteristic of a "top-tier dirty striker".

When Diego Costa played for Atletico Madrid, he was able to keep Pepe and Ramos on their toes when facing Real Madrid, and even get them both booked.

Moreover, what's more, they're facing Manchester United's "defensive dream team" at this moment?
"Diego Costa exploited the referee's blind spot."

"As usual, he will use his most familiar methods to restrain the opponent's center-back."

Oscar didn't hesitate, passing the ball back with his left foot to the onrushing Fabregas, and Chelsea's attacking chain was instantly linked.

at the same time.

Van Basseau's Manchester United's "bee press" has been launched!

Buzz!
Maranda swarmed Fabregas like a mad bee, using his physical strength to his advantage, using his left hand to chest out Fabregas to gauge his center of gravity, and his right foot to interfere with the passing motion.

Morata's lateral slide blocked the route for the former Arsenal captain to pass back to Matic, which was crucial. Everyone wondered: how could the Spanish genius be so smart?

Most fatally, Li Luo seemed to have anticipated Chelsea's kickoff logic, quickly cutting diagonally between himself and Hazard, severing their connection as much as possible.

Despite being attacked from three sides, Fa Zhongyi remained calm and composed.

After joining Chelsea.

He was reformed.

Simply put: the flaws were masked, and the strengths were brought into play.

Positioned further back, his top-notch vision and passing ability were fully utilized.

Unlike when he played in a daze at Barcelona.

Everything happened very quickly.

The moment Fabregas touched the ball with his left foot, he felt Maranda's push and caught a glimpse of Li Luo's anticipated positioning out of the corner of his eye.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the ball back with his left foot and turned around.

V-shaped pull, followed by Cruyff turn, followed by a shoulder drop step!
One of the experimental subjects of the La Masia number 4 position, he was brought to Highbury by Wenger at the age of 16, where he was injected with the DNA of a new school of thought. After experiencing the style of Barcelona and Chelsea clubs, he was painted with various colors.

"No wonder he was last season's Premier League assist king."

"And he's the assist king with a commanding lead over the second-place finisher."

Followed by.

Fabregas was violently shoved aside by the little black egg.
The ball was lost.

A few scattered boos echoed across Stamford Bridge.

"Oh dear, Fabregas shouldn't have made that mistake."

"Maranda completely dominated him in terms of physical confrontation!"

Studio.
-
What's going on?
-
Mourinho's individual attacking style can't break Van Gaal's high press? Impossible!
-
There aren't that many impossibilities. When watching football, if you don't take sides, there aren't so many "impossibilities" and "whys."
-
Some concepts belong to the realm of "unspeakable," not to evade the issue, but to acknowledge the limitations of language itself.
-
You bastards, don't be so righteous while watching the game!
-
[A reversal of fortune? Spin it!]

The football game is out of control.

Chelsea's versatile player, Azpilicueta, had taken precautions.

Before Maranda.

Charge forward.

It occupies space.

Receive the ball.

Bah!
With the outside of his foot like a blunt knife, he sent out a half-high ball that flew over Carrick's head and landed precisely on Willian's running path, perfectly breaking through the blockade!
Scattered applause broke out.

Mourinho once said: "I like players like Azpilicueta. If a team has 11 'AZPs', then that team can win the championship. Football is not just about talent, but also a contest of will and determination, and 'AZPs' have these qualities."

Manchester United's halftime.

William's nickname is "Ronaldo's successor".

However, after joining the Premier League, his playing style became more pragmatic, focusing more on simple movements and off-the-ball runs.

Run to the middle lane ahead of time.

After receiving the ball, there was no room for further adjustments.

It was quickly passed to Hazard.

Hazard receives the ball.

Stamford Bridge was no longer a library; young Chelsea fans erupted in a deafening roar of cheers.

"The Premier League King!"

"Azar!"

Excellent wing playmaker: During the initial attack (when the opponent's defense is positioned normally, their speed of dropping forward is normal, and there is not much space), after receiving the ball, make a high-speed forward run to a certain extent, then have to slow down the pace, watch the center forward's movement, wait for teammates' support, create a local numerical advantage, widen the attacking width, and then connect to the next step.
but.

Players like Hazard have a different fighting style.

He doesn't need to wait for anyone, and he doesn't need any conditions.

Solve the problem yourself.

"coming!"

"Lower the center of gravity."

"A beautiful big butt and thick thighs."

"His continuous touches of the ball easily disrupted Darmian's defensive rhythm."

Manchester United's full-back looked disheveled and attempted a tactical foul, but Hazard skillfully evaded it.

next second.

Hazard slightly lowered his left shoulder, suddenly accelerated, and pushed off with his right foot, instantly leaving Damian half a body length behind, heading straight for the left side of the penalty area!
Smalling quickly filled in.

Hazard made no predictions, no strategic maneuvering, and relied purely on instinct to execute his exceptional moves.

A perfect L-shaped dribble, a flawless breakthrough, and a charge into the penalty area!
At this moment.

Blind was tightly bound by Diego Costa.

Luke Shaw stumbled as he filled in.

Hazard locked his gaze on the near post, lifted his left foot, and tightened his ankle.

Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea quickly moved to the near post, spreading his arms to block the shot.

Secret Technique: K-shaped blocking.

But Hazard's choice was even more cunning!
The shape of the foot has changed.

Bah!
The football lifted off the ground, curved in an arc, and flew straight into the far corner, lifting the white net.

1:1! ! !

"The ball is in!"

"Azar!"

"The Premier League King!"

"I thought he would selflessly pass the ball to his teammate on the weak side again."

"I thought so too, the Oscars area is pretty empty."

"Hazard has always played unselfishly. He's a powerful winger, not just explosive, but he also has the ability to accurately pass the ball to the weak side after breaking through!"

"Chelsea's goal also demonstrates Mourinho's asymmetrical attack. Watch the slow-motion replay and pay attention to the positions of the two full-backs, Azpilicueta and Ivanovic."

Stamford Bridge instantly erupted in cheers.

Hazard ran with his arms outstretched, and Costa rushed over and pulled him into his arms.

Courtside.

Van Gaal appeared calm, but was inwardly somewhat frustrated.

His tactical deployment was clearly perfect.

He believes that 'wide positioning when not in possession of the ball' is a trend of the times and a trend in the development of football.

Giggs also thought Van Gundy was fine.

It's Manchester United's defensive problem.

Come to think of it, when Van Gaal invented the wide-field formation, he was leading Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga champion, the German Cup champion, and the Champions League runner-up defense.

Who are the players standing in Manchester United's defense right now? Besides, the opponents they have to defend against are Hazard, Diego Costa, and Willian.

The other side.

Mourinho smiled.

Teaching assistant Faria and others celebrated wildly.

“It’s too easy.”

"Shall we continue on defense?"

"Yes, Manchester United will definitely make a mistake."

The commentator and Coach Zhang both frowned:
Will Manchester United's next possession-based attacking style be able to work easily?

Hard to say.

Mourinho, when leading different teams, had repeatedly and decisively contained the "Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets" Dream Team, Basak, and launched counter-attacks that blew them away several times.

Moreover, Chelsea has many advantages in matchups.

Studio.
-
Are there players De Gea can't stop?
-
The attacking chain was too simple. Van Gaal insisted on attacking football, and the other Manchester United players didn't have time to get into position and track back, unlike against Barcelona. This isn't about the strength of the teams, but rather their fighting style.
-
[Eden Hazard, the face of last season's Premier League.]
-
[Could Manchester United really lose? They look like they can't beat them. Chelsea haven't even used their "Fáclav Link" yet!]
-
Of course, a Chelsea team in its normal form is no pushover.
-
When Manchester City and Arsenal both faced Chelsea, one played possession-based football while the other played a passing and cutting style, and both were badly countered on the counter-attack.

Li Luo didn't think there was anything wrong with Van Gaal's tactics, nor did he think that the Manchester United defenders were distracted.

It's purely because the opposing team's attacking players are in such good form today.

There is a disadvantage in the matchup.

In an unbalanced game, you can't blame your teammates.

It's not that we're weak, it's that our opponents are strong. We shouldn't be discouraged even if we're tied.

He caught the ball thrown by De Gea, and as he ran towards the center circle, he raised his arms and loudly encouraged his teammates.

Ten minutes later.

Matic has finally demonstrated the power of a Premier League midfield maestro.

"Oops! You, so-and-so, made a mistake with the pass!"

"Matic made a precise interception."

"Give it to Fabregas."

"A long pass!"

Diego Costa!

Fabregas launched a long pass directly from the backfield.

He kicked a shot with a precise trajectory that crossed the center circle. It flew straight into Manchester United's half.

"A rainbow pierces the sun."

The camera moves.

Diego Costa, fighting alone.

"That kind of ball control?"

"No wonder he's the man who competed with Messi and Ronaldo for the Golden Boot in La Liga!"

Diego Costa's judgment of the landing point was very accurate.

His ball control posture is also very strong.

With arms outstretched and his strong physique in hand, he pushed aside Smalling and Blind.

The soccer ball landed on the instep of the right foot.

In an instant.

He stomped his right foot down hard.

Unload the force steadily and properly.

The football instantly became incredibly obedient, as if it were glued to his foot.

Damian, who came to cover, was stunned.

He was Legnano's most outstanding talent from a young age.

Where is Legniano?

A small town in Italy.

Because of his exceptional talent, he joined AC Milan's youth academy, where he remained the strongest player and gradually became the captain of the youth team.

He made his first-team debut at the age of 16 years, 11 months and 25 days.

After going through untold hardships.

It has gone through countless hardships.

Strive to hone your individual abilities.

Finally, they received an offer from Manchester United.

He believed that no one in Europe could easily get past him.

He was once full of confidence: 'Defenders just don't get as much attention. My talent is on par with young talents like Lee, Neymar, Hazard, De Bruyne, Pogba, Çalhanoğlu, Lukaku, and others.'

'I will prove my ability in the 2015/16 Premier League season.'

结果
After arriving at Manchester United.

His experience was like a nightmare: first he was thrashed by Mane, then by Neymar in the Champions League, then by ordinary wingers in the Premier League, and tonight he faced Hazard and Diego Costa.
Heroes are as numerous as fish crossing a river; you may be a piece of gold, but the Premier League and the Champions League are full of gold. Gold will shine, and this place is dazzling with gold.

"One against three!"

"Diego Costa will probably stall for time and wait for his teammates to provide support."

"no!"

"A savage turn!"

"That was too domineering! Like a bulldozer, he single-handedly overturned Manchester United's defensive arsenal!"

"A fierce playing style."

"Facing my national team teammate - De Gea!"

"He unleashed an unreasonable, explosive shot!"

"DC Emperor!!!"

Blinder fell to the ground.

Smalling was knocked off balance and staggered.

Damian was like trying to stop a ferocious beast, but to no avail.

Bah!
The football, with its powerful and domineering momentum, smashed open Manchester United's goal!

2:1! ! !

At Stanford Bridge Library, thunderous applause erupted.

Diego Costa rushed to the corner flag area, pounding his chest and roaring excitedly.

In the away stands, Manchester United fans' faces were filled with helplessness and frustration.

"A classic law school connection."

"Chelsea, playing at home, have taken the lead."

"Next."

"Manchester United is in a difficult situation."

"Chelsea's bus will no longer be tempted."

"It will be very, very difficult for Van Gaal to change the score again."

Studio.
-
In that year's La Liga Golden Boot race, Diego Costa was sidelined with injury and ultimately fell short, winning the bronze boot: 4 goals behind Ronaldo and 1 goal behind Messi.
-
The strength of the reigning Premier League champions.
-
Chelsea are no longer in a rush; as long as they lead at halftime, almost no opponent can come back to win.
-
[I'm Louis van Gaal, and I don't even know how to play right now. If we bring on big men, Chelsea's players are also tall and strong, and they dominate the Premier League aerial duel success rate rankings.]
-
To put it simply, Chelsea's players are capable enough to win the Premier League title next season with a different manager. The only problem at the start of this season was the internal conflict stemming from the "team doctor scandal."
-
[Match ends: Chelsea 2-1 Manchester United.]
-
[Pragmatism is key; if Chelsea starts 1-0 up against Manchester United, the game will likely end 1-0!]

On the green football field.

The faces of Manchester United's defenders were filled with helplessness and frustration.

Carrick and Maranda felt somewhat guilty, believing they had failed to protect the defense.

Chelsea's attack tonight was simple and efficient, leaving Manchester United struggling to cope.

De Bruyne clenched his fist silently.

My brain raced, and based on the Chelsea videos I'd watched before, I began to carefully analyze the match:
'After Chelsea takes the lead, Mourinho will focus on a defensive strategy of stopping the bus and precise counter-attacks, using a 4-2-3-1 formation to tighten the defense. The core objective is to secure the victory and counter Manchester United's possession-based attacking style.'

'Defensively, the four defenders plus two holding midfielders form a six-man defensive group, dropping back 5-10 meters to compress the penalty area.'

'Terry is directing the defense, Cahill is focusing on Morata to limit their aerial advantage.'

'Fullbacks Ivanovic and Azpilicueta will tuck inside to help intercept crosses from the flanks.'

The midfield relinquished possession, employing a "surround but not press" zonal defense, relying on physical duels and tactical fouls to disrupt Manchester United's attacking rhythm. Upon winning possession, they immediately launched quick counter-attacks, reaching the attacking third in no more than 3-4 passes.

Their offensive capabilities have already demonstrated their terrifying threat.

Manchester United are in a difficult situation.

'Will Li be able to think of a solution?'

This question is very complicated.

"It's far more complex than the problems we've encountered in the Bundesliga."

Chelsea's defense is in high spirits.

Terry also joined in the celebration wildly.

Courtois gazed at Manchester United's half with a disdainful expression.

As long as we win the game.

Chelsea fans simply didn't care about the goal they conceded.

Hua Guoli.

Nothing more.

Like Cech, he was lucky enough to perform well in key battles, a star player created through marketing and packaging.

A gentle breeze along the Thames River ruffled her clothes and her black hair.

The noise around me receded like the tide, and the world suddenly fell into silence.

Li Luo looked completely at ease.

Manchester United's defense couldn't withstand a Chelsea team with a full squad and in good form.

One must utilize the spatial rehearsal power of the controller.

From God's perspective, the red threads symbolizing the direction of the situation trembled violently, constantly tightening under invisible tension, until they snapped with a loud crack, unable to bear the burden any longer.

next second.

Countless possibilities unfolded in his mind, and he began to analyze them in all aspects.

"."

No optimal solution was obtained.

Because Manchester United had a disadvantage in multiple matchups, they were getting all very low-probability results, making it difficult to shake that blue bus.

When Li Luo opened his eyes again, his gaze was calm.

The noise around me surged in like a tide from every corner of Stamford Bridge.

[Deconstruction complete.]

During the rehearsal, you found a highly probable answer.

The countless red threads that had been broken were revitalized and twisted into a crooked little Juninho, like a marionette.

Courtside.

Van Gaal was in a terrible predicament.

Giggs and his assistants kept talking about space, defensive depth, and complex ways to break the deadlock.

"Fuck, we're on the defensive."

"A team like Chelsea will amplify Manchester United's predicament to an extreme degree!"

"We have no easy way to restrain ourselves."

Everyone was very distressed.

sometimes.

They wish they could just copy a few outdated "broken bus" tactics from the internet, like cartoon writers do, to solve the problem and appease the audience.

If it were really that easy.

Will Chelsea be last season's Premier League champions?

The other side.

Mourinho stood confidently in the control area, hands in his pockets, looking completely at ease.

Everything will become very simple.

Chelsea's bench still has a few cards to play.

Manchester United fans around the world watching on television have mixed feelings.

They know Manchester United very well.

Under the onslaught of information, I've also gained a general understanding of last season's Premier League defending champions, Chelsea.

Once Chelsea takes the lead, it's really difficult for their opponents to come back.

Manchester United to intensify their attack? Push forward aggressively? Or resort to a last-minute gamble?

If a mistake is made, they could be overwhelmed by Chelsea's counter-attack, just like Arsenal did not long ago.

gradually.

The expectations of countless Manchester United fans have been slightly lowered: a draw, leaving Stamford Bridge unscathed, would be ideal.

The game restarted in the middle circle.

Morata kicks off and passes the ball back to the backfield.

Manchester United players focused intently on advancing the attack around Li Luolai.

They believe it.

Li Luo will definitely use complex and precise deconstruction methods to dismantle Chelsea's defense layer by layer.

"oops?"

"Why did Li Luo spread the word so directly?"

"Directly guide Morata towards De Bruyne's side?"

"They're positioned in Chelsea's two lines!"

"Morata!"

"Excellent ball protection ability!"

"And De Bruyne is there to support him!"

"Can it be transmitted?"

"He was taken down by Matic."

Manchester United have been awarded a free kick in the attacking third.

The commentator sounded puzzled.

One can't help but worry: Is Li Luo too anxious because he's lagging behind? It's rare to see a Chinese genius fight so directly and riskily during the advancement phase.

Coach Zhang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

However, he envisioned another possibility: relinquishing possession of the ball while still controlling the game.
On the green football field.

Matic was slightly shocked: this young Spanish striker was a bit difficult to deal with, and his ball control was excellent. He had to bring him down.

Morata got up, smiled, and gave Li Luo a thumbs up.

He also told his Manchester United teammates, "Li is definitely not in a hurry, he trusts me, and he has a great grasp of the timing of his passes!"

The referee took out foam spray and drew a white "U" at the location of the foul.

Li Luo caught the football that Morata threw to him.

Looking towards the Chelsea goal.

Courtside.

A Manchester United assistant coach expressed his concern: "Li's pass just now... was too hasty, young man."

"Hmph, shut up!"

Van Gaal retorted angrily.

He gazed intently at the number 7 figure on the pitch: "My and Lee's decisions are beyond question at Manchester United."

The barrage of comments flew by.
