Chapter 1008： Conti's Life-saving Straw

Between the two Champions League games, Manchester United played a total of three games. These three games are a league, an FA Cup and a League Cup.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester United welcomed the underdog West Brom. They got a 3-0 score very easily in this game and continued to lead the standings.

In this game, Manchester United's substitutes ushered in an explosion, especially Sane and Ali. The two assisted each other and arranged for three goals in the game. Ali, who scored twice, became the best player in this game.

Recently, in the English national team, Southgate has become more and more important to Ali in the warm-up game. Now the offensive combination of Sterling, Harry Kane and Ali has become Southgate's absolute killer.

In the midfield position, Lingard also got a lot of opportunities. It was also because of his outstanding performance at the club that Lingard was also set high by Southgate.

During this time Manchester United also played a FA Cup game. This is the quarterfinal match of the FA Cup, Manchester United against Chelsea.

Chelsea are still swaying between the eighth and tenth in the league, and Conte has encountered great trouble this season. As if the Blues had run into trouble this season, their results have been ups and downs, and they have been unstable. If they go down like this again, they are likely to be a mess by the end of the season.

However, Conte now seems to have a meaning of breaking the jar. Now they have performed well in the Champions League and the FA Cup. The FA Cup reached the quarterfinals, and the Champions League also entered the knockout stage. In the eighth final, Chelsea defeated Sevilla 3-0 at home in the first leg, and they have already reached the threshold of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Now Conti wants to understand, if you want to recover the league points, it is almost impossible. Not to mention Manchester United at the top of the list, even Liverpool and Tottenham behind Manchester United, and Arsenal gradually returning to the track, it is impossible for Chelsea to catch up with them. Now only Manchester City and Chelsea are sympathetic, and the two teams are mingling in the league.

Therefore, the Champions League and the FA Cup have become Conti's life-saving straw this season.

In this context, Chelsea are stunned in the FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United. Conte played his best hand and they were ready to fight with Manchester United.

From the first minute of the game, Chelsea bombarded Manchester United's penalty area wildly, leaving Manchester United exhausted for a while, and there were almost no good offensive opportunities.

Manchester United still adopted a rotation strategy in this game. Although Kintag knew Chelsea was not good, he could not do it because there were two more important games waiting for them, so they must play a certain game. Rotation of amplitude.

However, in the first half, although Chelsea's offense was very fierce and Manchester United's defense seemed a little embarrassed, they still successfully resisted the Chelsea offense.

In this game Romero continuously contributed wonderful saves, the strength of the Argentine national goal is beyond doubt.

And because of Bailey's injury, the Red Devils' new England defense rotation partner-Maguire and Jones, both of them also performed very well. Maguire's card position, Jones's grab, the two of them even had a taste of Ferdinand and Campbell when they were in the national team.

Neither team scored in the first half. Players from both sides returned to the locker room with a 0-0 score.

In the second half, Gintag replaced Marshall in the middle and replaced him with the faster Mbappé.

This substitution had an immediate effect.

In the first half of the game, Manchester United still had some opportunities, especially around 10 minutes before the end of the game, Manchester United got three good chances to score goals, but when Marshall faced the opportunity, they were not positive enough, obviously At the start of May 5th, Marshal was all grabbed by the opposing defender, which made Jin Taige very dissatisfied!

Talent is super strong, but not actively fighting, this is Marshall's biggest problem.

During the intermission, Jin Taige replaced him directly, and then let his little brother of the national team debut.

Mbappe played just under two minutes in the second half and he got a good chance in a counterattack. Carrick's clearance ball passed directly to the frontcourt. Mbappe inserted it at a high speed. Rudiger couldn't prevent him, and finally pulled him in the penalty area.

Penalty! Manchester United got a great goal opportunity!

Although Mbappe scored the goal, Mbappe gave the penalty to the old captain Carrick.

Since this season, Carrick has also been injured and stopped. Although there are no major problems, after all, he is older, so at the beginning of the season, he still encountered injuries frequently.

Since entering 2018, Carrick has suddenly returned. He has played well in several consecutive starters, and it seems that it is getting older and more demon ~ www.novelhall.com ~ even Jintaige seriously asked him if he can postpone his retirement, but Carrick rejected it. .

Since the little brothers gave their penalty to themselves, Carrick didn't let it go.

In the face of Courtois, Carrick has always been cautious and hit a whistle penalty, which made Courtois unexpected.

Penalty into the net! 1 to 0! Manchester United lead the score!

Seeing Manchester United players excitedly celebrating on the field, Conte on the sideline was anxious!

Now that the game has reached the 66th minute, Chelsea failed to score for an hour, but the Manchester United attack was successful.

Conte no longer waited, and he replaced two forwards, Giroud and Pedro in one breath, allowing them to seize the final time and strive for a goal.

Giroud came to Chelsea only this winter transfer period. Because Lukaku was injured last December, Conte bought Giroud and wanted the French to replace Lukaku.

However, Giroud did not perform very well in the first few games; when Lukaku recovered, he returned to the bench.

This winter, due to Lewand's injury, Jintaige even played Giroud's idea, wanting him to come to Manchester United to play as a substitute to enrich his tactics, but after a private inquiry, Giroud directly rejected.

He doesn't want to sit on the bench at Manchester United!

Giroud left Arsenal and switched to Chelsea in order to get more opportunities, but he is still a substitute life, which is really regrettable.

However, in this game, Giroud showed the value of his French team's starting center. Soon after he came off the bench, he took a shot directly from the left side of the penalty area and turned the barb into the corner.

1 to 1! Chelsea equalised the score! They rekindled the hope of promotion again!
