Chapter 328 Everything is for Bai Piao(2/3)
——
Soon, Manchester United launched another offensive.
Now teammates in the frontcourt and backcourt are coming to support, which gives Kanter more time and space to display his offensive talents.
Because at this time the attention of Manchester United players is on Kante and Lukaku!
In the penalty area, Jones and Smalling were surprised. The former didn't even care about Lukaku and quickly attacked.
Even at the start of the second half, Fellaini, who had already put on his coat, said something to Pan Yi with a wry smile:
Being three goals behind at halftime was undoubtedly a huge blow to Manchester United's morale.
But just when he was about to intercept Kanter, the little Frenchman suddenly stopped, changed direction, and spiked the ball toward the center.
Since Fellaini on the left was watched by Zouma, Van Gaal ordered Carrick to move the ball more consciously to Mata's side, allowing the "dexterous team" here to use technology and footwork to
move forward.
But he is fast, William is faster than him.
Although the two of them have not been working together for a particularly long time, they have already established a tacit understanding and trust between each other. David Luiz did not ask too much, but suddenly patted Kanter on the shoulder and said with a bad smile.
:
But Carrick is different. He needs more Chelsea players to help defend, to pressure or induce him to pass the ball where Chelsea wants.
Therefore, Carrick will sometimes open his position wider to avoid Kanter's frontal interception, and then find opportunities to wash the dirty ball, or pass the ball directly to the frontcourt for counterattack.
Of course, the most critical role in this is Kanter.
The sudden change surprised all Manchester United players, including Valencia.
After the game restarted, the Red Devils launched a more intense offensive, putting more pressure on Chelsea.
At this time, Chelsea's wing-back Marcos Alonso has also pulled out of the space to the left.
"The most painful defeat in recent years was the 1:6 loss to our city rival Manchester City, which was also at Old Trafford!"
This actually surprised Pan Yi.
A big foot passed the ball to the back point!
William also rushed forward and at that moment, a small, undefended area was formed at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.
The ball rolled into Manchester United's goal again, and the score became 0:3!
At this time, the entire Manchester United midfield and backfield were actively pressing forward, preparing to cooperate with Carrick's pass to organize the attack, but unexpectedly they were suddenly intercepted and then counterattacked, catching everyone off guard.
When the ball reached Ivanovic's feet, the Manchester United players' defense quickly moved this way to prevent him from continuing to break into the penalty area.
He was just a little surprised that Kanter, a black boy who was usually taciturn, actually made a request to him today, and he still wanted to attack!
Did he discover any defensive loopholes in Manchester United?
Fellaini does have to be watched, but this task is left to Zuma alone and has nothing to do with anyone else.
Not to be outdone, Valencia immediately followed Kante closely, trying to get the ball back.
All of this happens in an instant.
So after seeing center back Smalling pass the ball to Blind on the wing, Carrick pulled over to prepare to receive the ball.
"You are also a restaurant owner, and you have scored goals now. Tell David later that you won't ask for money if I go to your restaurant to eat. You are both good people..." This is what Kanter said to William.
They didn't even have any intention of retreating, but stood up to the Red Devils' offensive in the midfield and then pushed them back.
This is a signal to strengthen the attack in the middle, and it is also a denial of his "big circle tactics" in the first half.
Van Gaal on the sidelines was already a little furious.
After all, Fellaini really had no effect at all under Zouma's defense in the first half.
"William, the hero of the attack, rushed over and hugged Kanter tightly, and the two celebrated this beautiful goal together!"
When defending, Kante will fight and retreat, retreating all the way to the central defender position, a bit like what Pan Yi told him to do when he was in Milan;
When attacking, he will speed up and jump in to provide sufficient fire support for the frontcourt.
That is, after falling behind by one goal, Manchester United shifted its forces to the center, and Herrera moved further away from the wing.
This whole process was completed so quickly that Manchester United's defense did not react at all.
Being powerful means being so tyrannical!
Of course, Chelsea doesn't dare to be careless about Manchester United's key figures.
The duel between the two sides was originally one of the highlights of this "rare tactical duel".
"The biggest defeat in Manchester United's history occurred around the 1930s, when they lost three games 0:7. But this is already too far away."
But before everyone thought about it, Kanter quickly launched a counterattack.
In front of the goal, Manchester United defender Smalling and Chelsea center Lukaku rushed over together.
"Well played! Kante!" Pan Yi shouted into the field and gave him a thumbs up.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Midfielder David Luiz's eyes flashed with surprise, but he nodded firmly: "No problem."
He also saw his teammate Lukaku moving forward into the middle, preparing to receive his pass;
He even kicked a bottle of water away from the sidelines and was given a warning by the referee.
The originally chaotic scene caused by fierce fighting seemed to suddenly become clearer, and every route of dribbling or passing the ball could be clearly understood!
He saw Manchester United's centre-back Smalling rushing toward him;
He saw another central defender, Jones, moving towards the center of the penalty area and getting ready to help defend;
He also saw that at the far end, William was also moving forward quickly.
But Kanter quickly got over and directly entangled Valencia who was dribbling the ball.
David Luiz is a central defender, and it is his job to defend him from the front and back of the midfielder. This is of course not a problem.
Even Zhang Fei can do embroidery, let alone Kanter who is already very versatile!
On the field, after Kante cut inside to get rid of Valencia's defense, his whole body seemed to suddenly light up.
Marcos Alonso also understood the situation clearly. Facing the incoming ball, he made an overhead ball without thinking and flicked the ball directly in front of Kante.
For example, their forward Rooney.
Keep an eye on Carrick, this is what coach Pan Yi has emphasized time and again to Chelsea players in the past few days.
"He received a wonderful pass from Hazard and shoveled the ball into the Manchester United goal!"
"In the 30th minute, Chelsea broke Manchester United's goal again!"
But Kanter posted it right away!
As soon as Carrick got the ball, but before he could stop the ball, Kanter appeared in front of him.
Although Rooney is nearly 30 years old this year and his physical condition is far inferior to that of his youth, his experience and shooting skills are still there, and his impact is not weak.
And what David Luiz said after kicking Kanter's butt was: "Damn you, you didn't even score the ball for Bai Lao, right? You also passed the ball to my restaurant partner, how treacherous!"
——
After celebrating with his assistants on the sidelines, Pan Yi also set his sights on Kanter.
If he is allowed to face the goal near the penalty area, it will also be very dangerous for Chelsea.
At Old Trafford, trailing by three goals at halftime!
——
"Damn it, really damn it!"
There, Lukaku had already made a diagonal run, successfully countered offside, and then quickly sprinted forward from the other side.
De Gea made a flying save, but how could he stop this close shot?
And Kanter completed his task very well.
Marcos Alonso dribbled the ball down the left wing and passed the ball to Hazard.
At this time, Manchester United midfielder Herrera also came over.
This surprised Valencia, who quickly turned around and chased after him.
"From stealing to launching an attack, to advancing into the Manchester United penalty area, and then to the final pass, Kante destroyed Manchester United's entire defense by himself!"
This time it was initiated by Valencia and Mata on the right.
Van Gaal really needs to seriously consider whether to stick to this style of play...
Many viewers even only saw Carrick take the ball, and then the ball reached Kante's feet, but they failed to see clearly how Kante made the move.
Therefore, Manchester United's backcourt is very empty at this time!
William reacted quickly after receiving the ball. He did not choose to dribble the ball, but passed the ball directly to the left side of the front edge of the penalty area.
To be continued...
