Chelsea made a good start at home and Manchester United wanted to beat their opponents back. Soon Gusto killed the right pass in four minutes. After being blocked, the ball bounced 15 yards to the center, where Galagher scored directly.
There were holes in the United wing at the beginning, which led to Chelsea being able to insert them here at the same time.Then, in the middle of the cross, United retreated too deep, leaving the waist and abdomen free.Chelsea easily scored after mastering those two gaps.
There was more pressure after Chelsea took the lead.Manchester United wanted to fight back, but Chelsea's midfield transition was faster than before.They were quickly assigned to the wings and then played the ball.However, United's midfield pressure and tackling ability are not good, so they can't catch Chelsea.Instead, when defenders want to come forward, they get hit.Defenders will also play diagonally on the wing and even drag Marla to the wing to defend.The key is that the division of labor between Manchester United's back waist and midfield is relatively open, and they can't create pressure together in the midfield to affect Chelsea's goals.
The match lasted 18 minutes. Cucurella received Mudryk's pass and burst into the penalty area from the left. Antony was chasing him, but Antony failed to kick the ball at the last minute. Instead, Cucurella touched the ball and fell to the ground. He was blown 12 yards by the referee and sent off by Palmer to give Chelsea a 2-0 lead.。
In fact, the ball can not be entirely blamed on Andy.Manchester United defender Wan-Bissaka was taken away to defend Mudryk, and the gap between him and the central defender was not repaired at the back.Andy did his job by coming back into the box, but Cucurella had good time getting forward and Andy was too reluctant to kick the ball to the goalkeeper in that situation.The ball rolled forward, so he never kicked it.In fact, he can follow him and make Cucurella pass, but he has to destroy the ball before doing so.In fact, he has fulfilled his responsibilities beyond that of a winger.
Then Chelsea continued to attack, and Manchester United fell into the same problems as before.When Garnacho hit the left wing, the passing was not as good as the right wing, while Antony had been forced back by Chelsea and the strength of the front field was very sporadic.However, Chelsea made a mistake with a pass after 33 minutes when Caicedo turned the ball over to Badiashile, allowing Garnacho to steal away and break into the box to score.
Chelsea seemed to be in disarray. Manchester United increased their momentum. They prevented Chelsea's very dangerous attack from launching a counter-attack. Annie pushed the ball to the left front and back. Dan came up to catch the ball. B inserted a header into the far post and let Manchester United suddenly chase a 2-2 draw.
Chelsea were still on the attack, with Gallagher hitting the post from 13 yards on the right side of the penalty area before the end of the first half, while Mudryk also had a good attack.
At half-time, Manchester United replaced Varane with Evans. Obviously Varane was injured. At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United had played well, but Evans was injured soon. Tenhag was forced to replace Evans with Kambwala, while Rashford withdrew Højlund.
Initially, Manchester United should be more and more unfavorable, but after the substitution, they immediately attacked quickly.After 67 minutes, Antoni picked up the ball on the right halfway line and played a long pass to the penalty area with one foot.Garnacho gave chase at high speed and scored with a head tap on a bouncing ball before the goalkeeper attacked.United beat their opponents 2-3 in 67 minutes.
Chelsea then began a succession of substitutions, with Chukwuemeka and Sterling coming on, Caicedo and Mudryk being withdrawn, and then Gilchrist and Chalobah coming on for Disasi and Gusto.
