Star Card System

In the Manchester United dressing room, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Losing three goals in the first half was very frustrating.

Especially since they were playing very hard and everyone was in good shape.

What was even more annoying was that they had just had a conflict with their opponents.

"I really wanted to fight them just now! It was a good fight!"

Phil Jones said fiercely.

Goalkeeper De Gea frowned slightly: "Man, if you fight, we will have one less player and there will be no chance in the second half."

"But they are too fucking! We should..."

As he was talking, Mourinho walked in and the players shut up.

Behind him, Xia Xing followed into the room.

They were the last two to come back.

Xia Xing closed the door with his backhand, and the dressing room was completely quiet.

The noise of those Chelsea fans was isolated outside the door.

Mourinho looked at the players, and the players were looking at him quietly at this time.

Some people were indignant, some were depressed, and some felt guilty.

Mourinho looked around and nodded slightly.

"Boys, I have to tell you something,

"You played really damn well in the first half!

"I'm not being sarcastic.

"I observed each of you very carefully throughout the first half,

"Everyone worked very hard, the front court, the middle, the defense, all tried their best,

"I'm very satisfied with your performance!

"Well... basically satisfied, except for Ashley Young's silly mistake,

"It's really too stupid, I can't wait to kick your ass."

Mourinho said this, and the players laughed.

Everyone knows the style and personality of the Portuguese. As long as they say this, it proves that they are not really angry.

Ashley Young also stood up embarrassedly: "Coach, I did a little bit in the first half..."

Mourinho motioned him to sit down.

"Young, don't talk about the first half, you performed very well in the first half.

"Except for that mistake, the performance at other times was top-notch, and the defense was impeccable. No problem.

"You all did a great job, I am proud of you.

"But we still fell behind, and we fell behind by three goals.

"This is a matter of luck, not our strength.

"After all, we kicked the crossbar and the goal post in the first half.

"There was another time I thought it was a penalty but it was not awarded.

"If all these goals could go in, then we would be 3-3 now.

"Of course, these words are a bit nonsense.

"After all, there are not so many ifs in the world.

"So in the second half,

"I hope you can continue to maintain the fighting spirit of the first half!

"Especially keep your confidence!

"We are the top of the Premier League, we are the Premier League champions!

"Luck can't always be on Chelsea's side.

"As long as you keep fighting in the second half, your luck will definitely come back!

"Because you are the best team in the world in my heart! "

Mourinho's words immediately boosted the players' morale.

He attributed the team's loss of the ball to luck and praised the players' performance.

This gave everyone a lot of confidence.

In addition to verbal encouragement, Mourinho also made several tactical changes.

"Pogba, in the second half, you should move a little further back to allow Xia to attack more. We will change the position and candidates of the attack to make Chelsea uncomfortable and strive to grab points earlier. "

"Phil Jones, in the second half, you should follow Diego Costa more closely. He likes to move farther away from the goal. Don't give him too much space. "

"Valencia, you should reduce the number of attacks appropriately, keep an eye on Hazard, and defend more fiercely! He just recovered from injury a while ago. If you kick harder, he will have more taboos! "

"Carrick, you fought hard in the first half and consumed a lot of physical energy. In the second half, you should take a break and Herrera will come on as a substitute. Herrera, I need you to sweep a large area! If there is a chance to attack, you can alternate with Xia and Pogba to advance! Change the attack type! "

...

Mourinho's continuous adjustments are very targeted.

The players walked out of the player tunnel and came to the court one after another.

Both sides used a substitution quota.

Manchester United replaced Carrick with the all-round midfielder Herrera.

Chelsea replaced the defensive player Matic with Fabregas.

Seeing Chelsea's substitutions, Mourinho's eyes lit up!

There is a chance!

At this time, Xia Xing on the court also looked at him. The two looked at each other and saw joy in their eyes!

Great!

If Conte sent defensive players to defend in the second half, then The game will be difficult to play.

With three goals in hand, Mourinho should be desperate.

But Conte didn't.

He just had a conflict with Mourinho, and he was eager to overthrow him in this game!

Give him a humiliating performance!

And this is exactly what Mourinho wants to see!

As long as you dare to press forward, we have a chance!

Come on, come on!

Chelsea took the lead in the first half, and it was Manchester United's turn in the second half.

In the center circle, Ibrahimovic and Rooney, two veterans, heard the whistle and passed the ball quickly.

Then, rush to Chelsea's half!

And Pogba and Herrera also started the offensive mode!

The two passed the ball continuously in the middle, and the ball was handed to Mkhitaryan on the right, and it came back soon!

Mkhitaryan also sprinted up the right wing!

Herrera looks ahead from time to time, as if he is about to pass a long pass!

Chelsea's pressing tactics throughout the game remained the same, with the midfielder pressing very high!

And the defense line is also in good condition!

Chelsea has made a plan. As long as you pass the ball, it will be offside!

However, Herrera didn't make a long pass, and he suddenly made a move!

Pogba didn't stop the ball and passed it diagonally!

The ball did not find the fast sprinting Mkhitaryan, but flew to the left!

Fly to Xia Xing!

On the sideline, Xia Xing suddenly accelerated and the ball flew towards him accurately!

“Isn’t the advance of this ball a little big?

"Can xia receive it?

“He caught the ball on the sideline!

"Xia and Pogba work together very well!

“This advance is just right!

"Moses on the right comes forward!

"He wants to squeeze Xia out!

"Xia picked the ball lightly and the ball flew over Moses' head!

"Go around behind you and sprint quickly!

“Run diagonally and go straight to the frontcourt!

"Fabregas steps up to defend!

"Can he block Xia's attack?

"This is about 38 meters away from the goal...

"Xia actually kicked off!

“It’s an elevator kick!

"The ball hit the net!

"World wave!

"This is incredible!

"So far away from the goal,

"Xia's shot is very comfortable!

"It hit the middle and lower part of the ball, and the ball rotated with distance!

"Quickly lifted into the air, and then fell quickly after crossing the Courtois finger barrier!

“Excellent!

“The second half has just started and Manchester United got a goal back!

"1 to 3!

"I like this kind of opening very much!"
