Midfielder

Everyone wants to be a great finisher, especially when Chelsea has won twelve consecutive games. If we can really win against them in any game, this will definitely be an opportunity to make a name for ourselves.

It is estimated that many people have imagined that they will become the greatest terminator, but the reality is cruel.

Twelve teams have already fallen victim to being crushed by Chelsea's steel chariot.

Even giant clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal failed to stop Chelsea's ferocious progress.

These guys really look like German armored soldiers during World War II. Wherever they go, corpses are everywhere.

"Cruel Chelsea, they are like a swarm of terrible locusts, harvesting victory everywhere."

This is how the Times described Chelsea. The actions of these guys are indeed no different from locusts. Every victory in every game seems to be obtained by ruthless plundering.

And in many games this season, Chelsea has changed from last season's appearance of being satisfied after 1:0. Even if they are leading, they will use their strong strength to try their best to expand the score.

Many Chelsea fans will even shout at many opponents, "Our Chelsea is the most gorgeous team in the entire Premier League! You guys are the conservative 1:0ists!"

Although no one admits that Chelsea plays gorgeous football, no one can deny their offensive ability. This group of madmen has now occupied the top spot in the Premier League in terms of goals scored, and the same goes for the goals conceded.

The most effective offense coupled with the toughest defense. With these two unique weapons, Chelsea is indeed difficult to beat. At least from now on, there are not many teams that can defeat them.

Of the other seven teams remaining, only Manchester United are most likely to end their winning streak.

Or in other words, among the traditional powers in the Premier League, Manchester United is the only one that has not yet been defeated.

But with one draw and one loss against Chelsea last season, Manchester United actually does not have any advantage.

But now that Chelsea is wreaking havoc, they can only count on Ferguson to be a sniper.

And many people have already placed high hopes on the Red Devils led by Ferguson. After all, Manchester United successfully attacked the previously undefeated Arsenal last season, and they have rich experience.

Looking at the remaining teams, only Manchester United has the strength to do such a thing.

Compared with Manchester United, the remaining teams may only continue to add to Chelsea's winning streak.

The coaches and players of those teams have publicly stated that it is really difficult to snipe Chelsea. They have no intention of really fighting Chelsea to the death. Instead of fighting Chelsea to the death to win a great opportunity. , it is better to save your energy and fight with opponents of the same level.

After all, winning or losing a league game will not affect whether they are relegated or not. No one is willing to fight against those lunatics at Chelsea, not to mention that even if they fight, they may not be able to win against Chelsea's lunatics.

And Chelsea's recent form is so fierce, who wants to fight them? That is courting death.

After provoking a group of lunatics, you really don't expect them to let you go. These animals will definitely chase you to the end. Those teams in the middle and lower reaches really don't want to have a decisive battle with Chelsea.

If they had that determination and ability, they might as well go head-to-head and kill a few opponents in the relegation circle.

Now the only team that has high hopes is Manchester United. Their second position in the league looks like a qualified opponent. If they want to win the championship, the Red Devils have no way out except winning.

And Manchester United fans are also waving flags and shouting, "Manchester United will defend the glory that belongs to the giants!"

There is nothing wrong with saying this, but looking at the results of the two teams now, it seems more like embolden people.

At least Chelsea fans won't roar like this, because they are now the leading side, while Manchester United has now become a traditional giant that needs to defend its dignity. This gap is actually a bit embarrassing.

Originally, Manchester United fans were disdainful of upstarts like Chelsea last season, but a Triple Crown has equaled the miracle created by Ferguson, which made many Manchester United supporters feel depressed.

And after the start of the new season, supporters who support Manchester United will be depressed to find that they have been left behind by their opponents from the very beginning. Looking at Chelsea's current posture, they are preparing to defend their title.

It now seems very difficult for Manchester United to achieve a lead in points, and the eight-point gap is not that easy to close. What's more, with Chelsea's current state, there is no possibility of losing.

Maybe it really can only be achieved by Manchester United winning Chelsea when the two strong teams meet to bring the score closer.

However, Ferguson didn't have a good impression of those guys who were ready to watch the fun. He wanted to teach Chelsea a lesson. After all, it was these guys who made him experience a season without a championship.

Moreover, Chelsea is not only frustrating Manchester United on the field, but they are also stretching their hands off the field. With Kenyon causing trouble behind the scenes, Manchester United's several transactions have not been completed.

Not only was it delayed in replenishing the strength of the first team, but Chelsea also took advantage of the players who were interested in the reserve team. Now the guys at Stamford Bridge have begun to attack the youth training.

Not only Manchester United, but also Arsenal was affected. The two youth team players they had previously taken a fancy to were not received by the account, but were directly intercepted by Chelsea through operations.

It is no wonder that the old man Wenger would denounce this kind of robbery without naming names, but the old French man also knows that this kind of competition for reserve forces is terrible, and Chelsea's financial resources will sweep everything.

Ferguson also stood beside his old opponent for the first time, and even he himself felt the crisis.

However, compared with those things in the future, Manchester United is about to collide with Chelsea.

It is really a very dangerous thing to go head-to-head with Chelsea at this time. The fighting power of those guys has soared at a speed that makes people feel frightened after the start of the new season. It is really terrifying.

Ferguson was not scared. He once faced the once powerful Nottingham Forest and Liverpool without fear, and Manchester United was the winner who laughed to the end. He is not afraid of such a challenge, but Ferguson now has more problems to consider and does not want to start the decisive battle immediately.

Only one-third of the league has been played. Even if Manchester United successfully ends Chelsea's winning streak at this moment, it does not mean that they can surpass their opponents. After all, there is still a full eight points difference between them.

A victory can at most narrow the points gap between the two teams, and will not bring more benefits.

As for the saying that Manchester United can defeat Chelsea and make the opponent collapse, Ferguson will definitely tell the person who said this, "Has your head been squeezed? How can you have such an idiotic idea?"

Ferguson knows very well what kind of person Mourinho is. The guy who won the treble is a tough opponent who will not be easily defeated, just like himself. A defeat will only make him more fierce. Knock him down? Maybe only God or the devil can really knock this guy down.

Although Chelsea has encountered some troubles recently, Ferguson does not think that it can stump Mourinho. Looking at the guy's full of energy in the war of words, can he be in trouble? Damn it!

Even if Manchester United can snipe Chelsea at home, it can only get three points, which will not shake their confidence. Ferguson knows Chelsea very well, just like he knows Manchester United.

That is a team that makes people feel scared. Anyone who joins it seems to be cast in steel. It always makes people feel embarrassed and they don't leave any opportunities for others.

And the main reason why Ferguson doesn't want to face Chelsea now is because of that crazy little lunatic. Lin Yi's collapse since the start of the new season is simply unbearable.

"Did that kid take stimulants?" Ferguson asked Ronaldo this question more than once.

Ronaldo couldn't answer the old Sir Alex's question, because even he himself couldn't explain the kid's recent crazy state. From the national team to the club, he seemed to be tired.

In the last two games of the national team, the kid didn't get a chance to play, and he was even a little dissatisfied.

"God, I swear, if that kid peels off that layer of human skin, he must be a robot!"

Even Deco, Lin Yi's old partner, said that Lin Yi is now several times crazier than when he was in Porto. The energy he bursts out seems to destroy everything.

Except for Mourinho's few insults, no one knows why Lin Yi has exploded so crazily recently. If they knew, the opponents who were trampled by Lin Yi would be very depressed. They would be speechless to find that they were completely defeated by a little girl.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that after a summer, that guy is even sharper than last season.

Whether it is attacking or organizing, he has become more comfortable, and even ball control seems more mature.

Figo said with emotion after watching Lin Yi's training and games in the national team, "The performance of that little guy reminded me of an old friend. He seemed to bring me back to the World Youth Championship."

Everyone knows who Figo is talking about, but no one feels strange. After all, since the day Lin Yi debuted, some people have said that this kid's passing and organizational skills are very similar to Costa.

It's just that he doesn't have the elegance of Costa on the court. If that kid suddenly gets ruthless, he's like a living bandit. He can snatch all the possibilities of winning from you.

But probably no one knows that when Lin Yi came this summer, he wrestled with Costa on the training ground for almost a month, and his home is still piled with videotapes given to him by Costa.

It's obvious that Lin Yi has begun to gradually understand every word Costa told him before breaking up. Being a commander on the court doesn't necessarily mean that you have to solve problems yourself every time.

Trust your teammates, trust every pass you make, and make yourself the starting point of the attack.

Being a good finisher can only make you a threat to the opponent's goalkeeper, but when you become a qualified conductor, your every move will make your opponent feel pressured. They must be fully prepared to intercept your every move. Such blows and pressures are fatal.

More organization and passing can also keep yourself away from injuries. Although Lin Yi will still dribble and break through to find opportunities in the new season, he is more likely to use passing to tear open the defense.

As Mourinho said of him, "The kid is starting to try to read the rhythm of the game."

Indeed, Lin Yi is gradually learning how to read every detail of the game.

Maybe this is not something that can be learned overnight. It requires more of a game accumulation process, but with the guidance of Costa and Mourinho and others, this kid has begun to figure out the way to it on his own. He seems to In the recent competition, I gradually got the hang of certain rhythms.

Just like the game against Newcastle United, although Chelsea did not score many goals in the second half, the rhythm of the entire game was always firmly controlled by Lin Yi, giving the opponent no chance at all.

Although Newcastle United has a strike combination like Owen and Shearer, they have never been able to organize an effective attack in the midfield. In every midfield confrontation, Lin Yi used the cooperation of his teammates to successfully snipe the group of "magpies" , starving the opponent's forward combination to death in the penalty area.

Throughout the game, Lin Yi made a total of 130 passes, with a success rate of more than 95%. What a terrifying scene. Bowyer and Solano could only rely on fouls to stop his progress.

What is rhythm? This means doing everything according to one's own ideas and disrupting the other person's thoughts.

Understand the rhythm of the game and then grasp it in the palm of your hand. This is a qualified commander and a standard court brain. Being reckless will only make you a shooting star on the green field.

As Lin Yi began to get stronger, he also began to deliberately avoid some injuries.

After all, the feeling of lying in a hospital bed is indeed very unpleasant, and it is also difficult to live without a ball to play.

Although Mourinho didn't say anything clearly, Lin Yi knew very well that most of Chelsea's offense now comes from his own passing and running. If he doesn't want the team to get into trouble, he'd better maintain a stable state. There is also the need to ensure that you are not entangled with injuries and maintain your attendance rate.

Ferguson's biggest headache now is probably this. After watching the videos of Lin Yi's dozen games, he can feel the terror of that kid more and more. He really doesn't want to meet this little lunatic.

Especially when Manchester United's recent record is not outstanding, Ferguson does not want to become the best candidate for a terminator. If he loses this game, the pressure on his shoulders will be even greater.

Everyone expected Manchester United to be the finisher, but no one thought about what would happen if Manchester United lost.

It is estimated that only Ferguson knows whether this kind of pressure can defeat him. The team he has served for twenty years is now going through a period of turmoil, and Ferguson does not want to become a piece of history.

You have to know how many people were in the newspapers advocating the news that Sir Alex Ferguson was about to be dismissed when Manchester United lost to Middlesbrough in the first two rounds of the game, as if this old Scottish man was no longer good.

Many people said, "Ferguson has been at Manchester United for too long. He no longer has the passion he once had. Especially when his 1992 class began to fade away, it is time for this old man to step aside."

Many people have even begun to speculate on what kind of replacement the American boss will find for Ferguson. From Hiddink to Hitzfield, even Scolari has entered the big list of those reporters.

Anyway, from the day Ferguson entered the Manchester United team, this season may be his most difficult period. The club changed hands, and the expectations of the new owner came from the hopes of Manchester United fans and players.

All this pressure makes Ferguson feel bad. The only good thing is that they are now ranked second in the league and still have a chance to win the championship. But in the Champions League, they are not so lucky.

At the bottom of the group, this may be Manchester United's worst result in the past ten years. They even allowed Benfica to complete a home and away double play. This is the main reason why those reporters clamored for Ferguson to be sacked.

They may tolerate Manchester United's downturn in the domestic arena, but many people did not expect that the Champions League could play so poorly before the start of the group stage. After all, they are fully capable of entering the top 16.

It can be said that Manchester United's failure in the Champions League became the trigger for Ferguson's current situation.

But the old Scottish man is famous for his stubbornness. Even in the face of such great pressure, Ferguson still dared to curse. However, in addition to failing in the Champions League, Manchester United still maintained a three-front battle.

Perhaps because Ferguson wants to remain competitive enough on multiple fronts, Manchester United is also very rare to perform very strongly in both the League Cup and the FA Cup. They even eliminated themselves in the FA Cup. His old enemy Liverpool, this result finally relieved Ferguson's pressure.

But now they are facing Chelsea head-on. This kind of pressure is probably greater on Ferguson than on Mourinho.

If Chelsea loses, it will at most end their winning streak and will not affect anything else. But if Manchester United loses, it will be almost the end of the world for Ferguson and his team.

Ferguson likes to take risks, but today is different from the past. This time in the upcoming game at Old Trafford, he may have to bet on his future with Manchester United. The success or failure depends on this battle.

But this stubborn old Scottish man may not know that Mourinho's mind is not focused on Manchester United right now. The guy in the office is holding the list of the top 16 of the Champions League.

This guy with a frown on his face was calculating the many possibilities of the Champions League round of 16 group draw. However, no matter how he looked at it, Mourinho had a bad feeling in his heart. He couldn't tell what it was, but when the names of the second-placed teams in the group were arranged in front of him, he could always smell the crisis.

Damn the group, Mourinho can only curse the weird second-placed teams in this Champions League. It seems that Chelsea didn't get much benefit from qualifying as the first in the group.

The days of defending the championship are not so easy. . .
