Chapter 229 The First Goal

In this game, Chelsea and Manchester United played in line with their styles, which also meant that the Red Devils were destined to attack more.

After both sides tested each other at the beginning of the game, it was the Red Devils players who took the first step in attacking.

As the team's organizing core in this game, Carrick plays differently from Shinji Kagawa and Scholes. With his outstanding physique and strong confrontation ability, he is not afraid of the pressure from the opponent's midfield and frequently carries the opponent to the best position before passing the ball.

This undoubtedly reduced the consumption of excessive useless running of the strikers. From the tenth minute of the game, Carrick made a beautiful through pass to Van Persie, who shot directly but hit the post. Qin Hu and Van Persie became the two most watched people on the court.

"Another pass forward, Van Persie took the ball with his back and passed it directly to Qin Hu on the right. Qin Hu! He also chose to shoot!"

"Oh!"

In the 13th minute of the game, after the opponent's goal kick was snatched away by his own midfielder and passed back, Qin Hu also made a super long shot. This time, Cech reacted quickly and made a difficult save to lift the ball out of the baseline.

Immediately after the team's corner attack, Qin Hu grabbed the ball and passed it to Carrick who was running through the middle. The midfielder in excellent form also made a volley, but it unfortunately slipped past the goal.

With three shots in five minutes, each one was extremely threatening. This series of attacks by Manchester United not only made the Blues fans at Stamford Bridge hold their heads and scream, but also put tremendous pressure on Chelsea's defense.

And there is no sign that this pressure is dissipating.

"He took the ball thrown by the goalkeeper and kicked it out directly. Chelsea had a chance to counterattack. What could they do? Alas! Hazard was knocked away by Valencia and the ball was taken away. The referee did not signal a foul!"

The 21-year-old Hazard just joined the team this season. Although he is getting better now, the fierce confrontation and direct physical confrontation in the Premier League are still difficult for him to adapt to in a short period of time after his debut in Ligue 1.

Before he completed the training to build muscle and improve his confrontation ability, he would definitely suffer a loss if he met a veteran like Valencia.

Valencia dribbled the ball and turned around to face the Blues goal again. He kept looking around and finally chose to kick a long pass to the front left.

"Nice pass! Qin Hu pulled back and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area. He pulled the ball to avoid Mikel's interception. His movements were very smooth and he accelerated directly with a forward kick!"

As Di Matteo's key defensive target, Qin Hu's action of dribbling past the opponent and accelerating towards the penalty area directly attracted the attention of most of the defensive players. They quickly surrounded him and tried to stop Qin Hu from handling the ball.

Unfortunately, this is still a bit too difficult.

"He accelerated and dribbled the ball, changing direction to the left. Qin Hu came to the left sideline of the penalty area. He took the initiative to walk away from the goal. It seems that Van Persie! That's right, Van Persie has come over to meet the goal!"

"Shu~"

With a lateral pass, Qin Hu passed the ball accurately past the three people who were surrounding him.

At the critical moment, Van Persie did not stop at all. He briefly pushed away David Luiz who was following him and shot the ball to the right side of the goal with the outside of his foot.

"DUANG!"

"Cech didn't catch the ball, but his shot still hit the post and bounced directly into the small penalty area. Wait wait wait! David Luiz, oh, Luiz, Luiz!"

"Shu~"

"Shh!!!" Zhan Jun's excited voice could not directly reflect the scene that happened in a flash on the field. When the ball hit the net and the referee blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid, the Blues fans in the stands opened their mouths in silence.

"Hahaha, the ball rebounded too fast. Luis, who was trying to block the ball with a flying tackle, failed to block the shot and was hit by the rebounding ball. The ball bounced into the net again. It was an own goal."

David Luiz stood up and felt like crying but had no tears. Cech in front of the goal was scratching his head, not knowing what to say.

"1-0, what a fantastic start. Who would have thought that the first goal of this heavyweight match would be an own goal~"

Thousands of Manchester United fans who had traveled with the team began to cheer, and Van Persie, who had created the own goal, walked back happily surrounded by his teammates.

Along the way, Van Persie did not forget to pat Qin Hu who was following him. The pass sent by the opponent after mobilizing most of the defensive force was really wonderful.

On the other hand, the goal lost did not bring too much of a blow to the Blues, but the way the ball was lost made everyone feel stunned. However, the entire Chelsea team quickly regrouped and returned to their respective positions.

In the 18th minute of the game, both teams stood up again and sent the ball around again.

When the ball was kicked out, Chelsea's possession was obviously not as stable as at the beginning. A team that focuses on defensive counterattacks is afraid of a score of 0-1, and many times this will make the team in a dilemma as to whether to go forward or not.

Di Matteo has certainly considered this. Unlike some teams that do not have good attackers and have to play defense and counterattack, the Blues also have many breakthrough players, and their main goal is to make a big splash if they do not make a move.

Now that the team was behind, with Di Matteo waving his hand on the sidelines, Chelsea launched a direct attack forward after a brief pass after the restart.

"Oscar won the direct encounter with Carrick. He was very fast and kept moving forward. Cleverley was already around~"

Oscar, who plays with a tough style of play, was not afraid of Carrick's threat at all. Confident in his own strength, he met the opponent's feet and successfully dribbled the ball past the opponent.

When he saw Cleverley rushing over, the Brazilian midfielder calmly passed the ball diagonally to the right.

"Mata got the ball and rushed directly from the right to the bottom line. His speed was very fast. Rafael couldn't intercept him head-on and chose to chase him side by side!"

The experienced Rafael finally completed his task. He kept pushing the opponent outwards, forcing Mata to stop and not choose to break through from the right.

However, when Mata suddenly stopped and kicked the ball to Ramirez who was rushing towards him from behind, Ramirez became a player who was briefly unguarded.

"Just kick the ball at a 45-degree angle and it will fly to the middle, Torres!"

"Oh!"

"DUANG!"

Under the joint attack of Vidic and Ferdinand, Torres, who headed the ball, still created a beautiful header. If De Gea had not been quick enough to punch the ball and cause it to hit the left post and bounce out, the ball would have really come.

"It was a very threatening shot. Chelsea showed their strong offensive power in their first attack after the restart. The game is not over yet!"
