Chapter 231 Manchester City Bites the Ass, Mourinho Makes the Decision [Please Subscribe! ]

"Chelsea has no intention of slowing down the pace. They keep suppressing Manchester United on the offensive end!

Li Ang is still encouraging his teammates to attack forward. Moyes needs to think of a way on the defensive end..."

Zhan Jun was not too happy to show his joy at the moment in the studio of Sina Sports, and he said a few words for Manchester United in a relatively objective way.

But what can Moyes, who is standing on the sidelines, do to curb Chelsea's strong attack in the middle?

How should this game be played? What kind of tactical style to play is not up to him at all. Manchester United's top management has given a death order.

Moyes originally wanted to grab a start at the beginning of the game to see if he could score a goal as soon as possible.

But now it seems that this unrealistic idea is impossible to realize at Stamford Bridge, and the goddess of luck is not on Manchester United's side today.

If the attack fails, if you want to defend, you can only follow Moyes' original tactical idea and use the advantage of the number of defenders in the middle to limit or delay Chelsea's threatening attack as much as possible.

If Moyes could make the decision, he would be able to make tactical adjustments right now.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make the decision. The outcome of this game was basically determined when San Dezi found Moyes to pass on the message before the game.

In fact, it's not that Manchester United's top management and San Dezi are too stupid.

From their perspective, how could Manchester United, which had won five Premier League trophies in the previous seven seasons and the Premier League championship last year, become so bad after just one summer window?

Even if these players really have some problems, this is a real championship team.

Ferguson has retired, but if a reliable coach continues to lead Manchester United, not to mention winning the championship immediately, it must be no problem to stabilize the top four in the league this year, right?

So in their opinion, the players don't have too many problems, and they have also introduced Fellaini, but now Manchester United has not even made it into the top six, which is 100% Moyes's problem!

So, these Manchester United top management really don't understand football.

Let's not talk about the Glazer brothers, they only know business and dividends, they don't know anything about football.

Now they have brought Sandezi to the front desk to run the club, and he is also a businessman.

He may be very good at running the club and expanding the club's business field.

But even if he knows more about football than the Glazer brothers, it's not much more.

Do you expect these people to know the many problems in Manchester United's current lineup, and the amazing coaching methods and tactical blessing effects of Ferguson's previous coaching?

So it's not that Manchester United's top executives are too stupid to make Moyes play Manchester United-style football.

But they were protected too well by Ferguson before.

So good that even if they don't need to spend any time on team building, they can watch Manchester United win one or two championships every year as a hands-off boss.

They only need to rely on Manchester United's halo of honor to continue to enhance Manchester United's brand value in the business field, and use this to take away a large amount of pounds and dollars from Manchester United every year.

So now that Ferguson has retired, the Manchester United executives who are used to the previous hands-off mode are still looking at Manchester United's performance this season according to their previous habits.

They even think that Moyes only needs to imitate Ferguson and completely copy Ferguson's previous tactical ideas to lead the current Manchester United back on track.

This is a kind of inertial thinking at work.

Of course, the football world will give such operators enough lessons.

This year is just the beginning.

Manchester United will eventually lose the aura of the Premier League's top giants that Ferguson has worked so hard to create because of the various weird operations of these weird executives.

And now Mourinho, after feeling that Moyes is helpless, no matter whether he will stay in Chelsea and become Chelsea's Ferguson in the future, he will never go to Manchester United's muddy water again.

"Moyes was really pitted. I don't believe he will make a tactical decision to take the initiative to attack at our home court. This is not his tactical style at all!"

Holland sighed with emotion.

Moyes has always been a well-known head coach in English football.

From the young coach who amazed the entire English football world, to the famous coach who led Everton to qualify for the European Cup all year round until last year.

Moyes should have had a more stable and upward coaching path.

If he had not chosen Manchester United, no industry insider in English football would doubt that Moyes would have a brighter coaching future.

But now, in just half a year, Moyes has exhausted the good reputation he has accumulated over the years because of this messy road to the top.

This is really a sin!

Holland did not say the rest of the words, but Mourinho nodded in agreement.

Seeing his disciples excitedly attacking Manchester United on the field, Mourinho's original intention to let them slow down was gone.

"Just think of it as helping Moyes get rid of his anger earlier..."

After finding a good reason in his heart, Mourinho sat in the coaching seat and watched his players' offensive performances with peace of mind.

It doesn't make sense to care about face now.

After all, it was Manchester United who didn't give Chelsea face today, so the extra goals were purely Manchester United's own fault.

At Stamford Bridge, thousands of Manchester United fans were not discouraged at first and kept cheering for their players.

After seeing their most familiar players being kicked by Chelsea without any ability to fight back, retreating step by step but unable to organize a counterattack, they gradually became disappointed.

From last season's Premier League champion to this season's possibility of not even making the top four, such a psychological gap is really hard for Manchester United fans to accept.

No matter which team comes, last season, they beat their rivals in the same city and won the championship in advance. This season, the team suddenly fell to the seventh or eighth place in the league, and it is difficult to climb up. The fans will not be able to bear it.

But the reality is that countless Manchester United fans have to force themselves to accept such a psychological gap.

On the contrary, Chelsea players are playing happily on the court at this moment.

Like his teammates, Li Ang has been enjoying this game early.

Being able to crush Manchester United, which was hailed as the top Premier League team last season, with such a big gap in strength.

This is an extremely happy thing for all Chelsea players.

Perhaps there are some personal grudges between Chelsea veterans such as Lampard and Terry and Manchester United left over from the fiercely competitive years in previous years.

But Li Ang does not have too many prejudices against Manchester United.

He does not like Manchester United as a club, but he is far from hating it.

For him, Manchester United is a Premier League giant team.

Just like Bayern and Dortmund in the Bundesliga, Benfica and Porto in the Portuguese Super League, Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A.

The great reputation of these clubs allows all fans to quickly remember their status in European football as soon as they hear them.

But that's all.

After all, fans have their own preferred clubs.

For example, Li Ang only likes Chelsea in the Premier League. After the first impression, he goes to see Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United with the same attitude, which is no different from watching other giants.

Even though Li Ang doesn't like the top executives of Manchester United, he doesn't have any bad feelings towards Manchester United.

But now they are each serving their own masters, and it is a novel feeling for Li Ang to have the opportunity to slaughter such a giant on the court.

Last season, when he played against Manchester United in Real Madrid, Manchester United still had Ferguson in charge, and it was still a strong team in European football.

At that time, Real Madrid could only be considered to have defeated Manchester United relatively steadily. It was true that they had an advantage, but the result of the game could only be considered a complete victory, far from being a massacre.

Today, Mourinho did not stop their active attack, which means that Mourinho also acquiesced that they could win a completely ruthless victory.

The teammates were all eager to try, and Li Ang would naturally not be the one to destroy the atmosphere of the game.

After stably suppressing the Manchester United midfield, Li Ang and Matic nailed the Manchester United half.

However, the biggest difference between today and the usual games is that:

In the past, Chelsea would rely more on the two-wing attack to involve the opponent's defense line, creating opportunities for Li Ang and Lampard's back-up in the middle.

But today, Chelsea chose to launch an attack from the middle, force Manchester United's central defense, and then divide the sides to the two wings, with the two wingers choosing to go down or cut into the Manchester United penalty area to complete the final threatening pass or the final blow!

This offensive method gave Ibrahimovic and Hazard more shooting rights.

Chelsea's goal in the 13th minute of the game was achieved through Leon's pass and Hazard's finish.

As for threatening passes, with De Bruyne on the right, there is no need to worry.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Leon quickly passed Carrick's defense again through a two-on-one match with Ibrahimovic who was retreating.

It was not until Phil Jones put down his defense to make up for it that Leon quickly knocked the ball to Hazard who was retreating to the left side of Manchester United's half.

As for Januzaj? The young man is still in Chelsea's half waiting for the ball to attack.

Count on him to return to defense?

First, he is not that active in returning to defense, and second, even if he returns to defense, he can't do anything.

When Moyes saw this scene, his heart was cold.

Before this game, he was a little disgusted with Cleverley, thinking that Cleverley was a midfielder who was different from others.

He couldn't attack and couldn't defend alone, so he could only follow Carrick and help Carrick do everything.

But now seeing Januzai's performance, Moyes thinks Cleverley is a very good young midfielder.

At least Cleverley knows his position, defends actively and works hard, and can help Carrick pass the ball.

Unfortunately, Cleverley is injured now. If Moyes doesn't want to use Shinji Kagawa, he can only use Januzai as a front midfielder.

But now this talented front midfielder who is highly expected by Manchester United fans can't provide much help to Manchester United at all.

His performance on the field even played a certain negative role. Manchester United's central defense has become a sieve, and Li Ang can break through as he wants.

Without Cleverley's active protection, Carrick's disadvantage of being too slow is infinitely magnified in front of Li Ang.

Phil Jones wants to stand in the middle to help Carrick withstand Li Ang's impact.

But Chelsea's left winger Hazard has completely suppressed his teammate Rafael.

If he doesn't care about the wing defense, Hazard can cut in and shoot or pass the ball to Ibrahimovic.

Phil Jones, who is in a dilemma, can only run in both directions, just like this defense. When Li Ang passed Carrick, he had no choice but to come to make up for the defense.

But when he made up for the defense, Li Ang passed the ball, and Hazard was able to directly and smoothly break into the Manchester United penalty area again.

After a simple bicycle kick, Hazard suddenly accelerated and rushed past Evans who was defending him.

Evans and Rafael couldn't double-team Hazard alone, and a large number of Chelsea fans at the scene cheered excitedly again!

Hazard then used an inverted triangle pass to smoothly pass the ball to Ibrahimovic's feet.

Facing Vidic's close defense, Ibrahimovic did not rush to turn around and look for shooting space this time.

Instead, he first blocked Vidic's defensive interference with his back, and then sent the ball to the Manchester United penalty area line!

In this offensive routine, Li Ang, who had already cooperated with Ibrahimovic tacitly, naturally appeared on the path of Ibrahimovic's pass.

His long-range shot was very straightforward, without any hesitation, and this powerful shot flew directly to the top of the far corner of Manchester United's goal.

Mourinho on the sidelines had already stood up at this time, fully prepared to applaud Li Ang's goal.

However, Manchester United's goalkeeper De Gea gritted his teeth and made a stunning save!

His save fully revealed his superior goal-line technology and super physical talent.

Li Ang thought that his long-range shot was powerful and the ball speed was very fast, so he was also surprised when he saw De Gea's thrilling single-handed long-range shot.

But the next second, when De Bruyne appeared on the right side of Manchester United's penalty area to meet the ball again, De Gea, who was lying on the ground, was helpless!

Mourinho changed several actions in just a few seconds, from standing up to holding his head in surprise, and then clapping in surprise.

Fortunately, the final result was good, and Mourinho's applause was successfully sent out.

Li Ang touched the back of his head, looked at Manchester United's goal with some regret, and then ran towards De Bruyne who was waving his arms and shouting with a smile.

"Kevin, what's your celebration action?"

After Li Ang happily hugged De Bruyne, he asked a little puzzled.

After all, for general celebrations. Even if there is no exclusive action of his own, jumping up and punching or sliding on his knees in the corner flag area is also very common?

How come De Bruyne just waved his arms to encourage his fans to cheer?

"Ah, am I not celebrating already?"

De Bruyne's answer was not beyond Li Ang's expectations. Li Ang could only cover his mouth and whisper a few words to his younger brother.

Two seconds later, after Li Ang and De Bruyne made a masked celebration, the Chelsea fans at the scene cheered even louder!

However, at this moment, all that was left in the hearts of the Manchester United players was a bad mood.

Rooney put his hands on his waist and looked at the dazzling 2:0 on the huge electronic scoreboard at the scene. After thinking about how much time had passed in the game, he could only purse his lips and shake his head.

Without too much anger and excitement, Rooney now had only helplessness in his heart.

Speaking of honors, he has harvested enough club honors since he transferred to Manchester United 10 years ago.

Not as good as Giggs and Scholes, but he has won all the domestic championships in England and the Champions League.

Having reached the peak, enjoying glory and admiration, Rooney did not feel that it was painful to endure these failures even though the road downhill was difficult.

What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that he did not know where the new Manchester United should go after losing Ferguson and the last remnants of the Manchester United dynasty.

Moyes can't save Manchester United. No matter how many famous coaches come now, they may not be able to lead Manchester United back to the right path.

Rooney has clearly understood this after the unpleasant conversation with Sandezi.

But he is just a player, a star who has passed his peak.

Maybe he can still save his beloved Manchester United in an occasional game, but what about expanding it to one season? What about expanding it to the next two or three seasons?

Is the decline of Manchester United really inevitable?

Rooney is confused. He finds that he can't find the answer. Like him, there are Carrick, Evra, Vidic...

The whole Manchester United team has no unified thinking.

Even if Moyes made clear tactical requirements before the game, they must play the style of Manchester United and attack.

But now the Manchester United players on the field can't even control the ball well, so how can they attack?

This phenomenon of complete separation and confusion between tactical instructions and the actual situation on the field makes Manchester United more and more in a dilemma on the field.

In the 36th minute of the first half, Li Ang received a cross from De Bruyne and scored with a header in the Manchester United penalty area with the help of Ibrahimovic.

Manchester United captain Vidic began to curse angrily, and his curse also cursed away the last bit of spirit in the hearts of Manchester United's front and midfield players.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Ibrahimovic made a short pass with Hazard on the left side of Manchester United's penalty area, helped Hazard cut into the bottom line of Manchester United's penalty area, ran to receive Hazard's cross pass, and easily grabbed another goal!

As soon as the ball was scored, thousands of Manchester United fans at Stamford Bridge completely gave up and began to leave one after another to protest against the team's poor performance.

Moyes began to make substitutions. He replaced Januzaj with Shinji Kagawa, and then replaced Welbeck with Van Persie who had just returned from injury.

It seems that he wants to make a last-ditch effort on the offensive end.

And next to him, Mourinho also began to make substitutions.

Mourinho replaced Li Ang, who scored a goal today, with Oscar, and replaced Ibrahimovic with Lukaku.

Let the two goalscorers of the team today take a good rest.

Such a substitution is actually equivalent to Chelsea calling it a day.

And the Chelsea players on the field, who received instructions from Mourinho, began to gradually withdraw their formation from Manchester United's half.

Manchester United's new players Shinji Kagawa and Van Persie were still working hard, trying to help Manchester United score one or two goals on the offensive end to save face.

However, their strength has declined greatly now.

After playing for a few minutes, the two were directly lost in the tight defense of Chelsea after the formation contracted.

It was Chelsea who played a defensive counterattack in the second half, and scored the final goal in the 84th minute of the game!

After receiving David Luiz's counterattack long pass, Lukaku accelerated and dribbled past two Manchester United defenders, and finally shot De Gea in the face, scoring Chelsea's fifth goal of the game!

In the end, Chelsea's score against Manchester United at home was also fixed at 5-0!

This was undoubtedly a massacre!

However, after the game, none of Chelsea's players arrogantly raised five fingers to boast about their achievements to the world like Pique did back then.

It's not to accumulate good character or anything, but because the relationship between Chelsea and Manchester United is not a deadly enemy at all, there is no need to humiliate Manchester United fans so harshly.

However, after the big celebration, when they received the news that Manchester City also bloodbathed Cardiff City with a big score of 5:1 at home, the mood of Chelsea fans suddenly became not so wonderful.

Mourinho, looking at the situation that Chelsea and Manchester City are only six points apart, also made a quick decision in his heart...
