I almost helped Manchester United revive, but I chose to run away

Chapter 7 Brother Chen, go through fire and water!
“…I think this idea is correct, but the two most difficult points are how we can ensure the best scorer’s condition and use tactical means to deliver the ball to him as efficiently as possible.

Ancelotti and Zidane have done a great job on this point, and we can adjust their tactical ideas to suit our current lineup..."

Li Chen's words seemed to still echo in his ears. At first, Carrick thought it was just general talk, but now it seems that Li Chen has incorporated the corresponding adjustment plan into the tactical drills some time ago!
Is there anyone who dares to say that Li Chen’s new lineup is a poor imitation of Real Madrid?

Carrick finally understood that the focus of Li Chen's adjustments was not on the so-called replication of the starting lineup and tactical play.

It’s about putting these starting players in positions and tactical environments where they are really good at!

Freed from the complicated defensive tasks, Matic can shine on the offensive end!

Martial, who was given trust, provided a tactical fulcrum and completed a timely transfer of the ball!

Without being closely pressured by opponents, Sancho's excellent vision and technical ability were demonstrated!
Last but not least.

That is, Ronaldo, who returns to the left wing, can really beat Chalobah and find a chance to score!
Even though he doesn't have an advantage in terms of body shape, C. Ronaldo has so much game experience!
Against a young defender like Chalobah, Ronaldo only needs a few attempts to be confident of taking advantage of the header from the wing.

On the contrary, if Ronaldo continued to play as the No. 9 position and faced Thiago Silva in this game, it would be difficult for Ronaldo to get such a smooth jumping opportunity.

Thiago Silva is not like Chalobah and Rudiger who have fits from time to time. The Brazilian central defender is also a veteran on the field with great strength and experience.

Letting Martial act as a tactical fulcrum in the middle and replacing Silva's defensive energy is a very cost-effective deal.

The more Carrick thought about Li Chen's intention of arranging the troops, the clearer it became in his mind, and he also had a preliminary recognition of Li Chen's coaching ability!
At this moment, Li Chen naturally did not notice the change in Carrick's eyes when he looked at him. He kissed Ronaldo's head hard, then patted his shoulder and asked him to continue to play well!

He reuses Ronaldo not because of his personal relationship with Ronaldo, but because Ronaldo's current hot form should be supported by the team's tactics!
It is very intuitive and clear to talk about a set of data.

Recently, Manchester United has only achieved one win, one draw and two losses in the Champions League and league.

Except for the match against Manchester City where Ronaldo failed to score, he scored in the other three matches.

Including a double equalizer in stoppage time against Atalanta in the Champions League and the first goal against Villarreal.

In the league match where they lost 1-4 to Watford, it was Ronaldo who assisted Van de Beek to score a face-saving goal!
It can be said that Ronaldo's personal performance is crucial to Manchester United now.

It cannot be said that no one at Manchester United will be able to score goals without Ronaldo, but there is one thing Li Chen is very sure of.

That is, if Ronaldo does not perform to turn the tide now, he will have to use at least 3-5 league games to rebuild Manchester United's offensive system.

If this situation really happens, it will be a fatal blow to Manchester United's performance!
And the facts have proved that there is no problem with his tactical deployment.

How difficult is it to restrict Ronaldo who is currently in good form playing without the ball?

The problem Manchester United had on the offensive end before was simply that the midfield and Ronaldo could not establish an effective connection.

With Rashford starting, the other Manchester United offensive players thought too much, the ball was dispersed, the offensive core could not be determined, and it would be strange if there were no troubles.

These are the two problems Li Chen needs to solve on the offensive end now.

The whole team should first clarify Ronaldo's position as the core of the offense, and based on this point, solve the problem of constructing the ball path in the midfield.

How to organize the attack starting from Matic, how to play when B Fee comes in from behind, and what is the complete routine of Sancho's series of moves to the side.

It is certainly difficult to solve the root problem of the offense in a short time, but it is not a big problem to start from scratch and arrange new offensive routines in the midfield according to the playing habits of different players. Such tactical means are not very clever, but the tactical routines that Li Chen has come up with are new enough!
If it is a new thing, then the opponent can only suffer the loss in silence, and it takes time to find a solution!

No matter how powerful Tuchel is, he cannot immediately curb Manchester United's new offensive style of play unless he chooses to shrink the formation and consolidate the defense first.

But is he willing to do that?

Are you willing to keep your composure and focus on defense even after conceding a goal at home?

Tuchel quickly gave his answer.

He must continue to intensify the suppression and use offense instead of defense!
After Chelsea, who played 343, pressed forward with all their strength, they had an absolute advantage in the number of attackers in the frontcourt.

In this situation, Manchester United certainly cannot afford to pursue the victory, and can only continue to defend well. Inevitably, Martial and Sancho will have to retreat further to assist in defense.

But in Li Chen's eyes, this passive game scene is full of opportunities!
To put it bluntly, Chelsea only has two players in the middle of the midfield. After they spread out their formation and launched the attack, no matter how the three forwards in front rotated their positions, they had to find a way to make some moves near Manchester United's penalty area.

The wing positions were naturally left to Marcos Alonso and Reece James.

This style of play is indeed conducive to Chelsea's frequent penetration into the bottom.

But with Havertz and Mount both sitting on the bench due to physical fatigue, the finishing efficiency of Chelsea's new front trident was too low.

Seeing Ziyech's consecutive long shots from outside the penalty area all missed the goal frame, and Werner's shooting accuracy was also poor, Li Chen felt a lot more relieved.

The game time continued to pass, and Manchester United did a good job in defense today and did not give Chelsea too many opportunities.

This also caused the Chelsea players who were besieging to become gradually anxious!

In the 29th minute of the first half, after receiving Werner's pass, Odoi changed direction and wanted to dribble the ball to the bottom!
But Dalot, who was cautious in defense, was not at a disadvantage in terms of speed. After positioning himself, he decisively passed the ball back to Lindelof who had raised his hand.

After completing the observation, the Swedish central defender sent out a long pass for a counterattack that was barely accurate!

At this moment, Martial took the initiative to retreat to the side and withstood the defensive interference of Jurgen Klopp and scored a goal!

The next second, Martial knocked the ball to the middle, and B Fee, who was desperately running forward, quickly advanced with the ball!
At this time, Ronaldo changed his position to the middle and raised his hand to ask for the ball. When B Fee saw Silva who was close to Ronaldo, he did not pass the ball to him. Instead, he looked left and right and paused for a moment.

Under the gaze of all the fans at the scene, Matic once again advanced without the ball into Chelsea's defensive third zone!
Before Jorginho could press, B Fee passed the ball to Matic.

After getting the ball, Maradona just observed it for a moment, and then used his left foot to send a lob pass into Chelsea's penalty area!

It was at this time that Ronaldo moved to the right side of the penalty area.

Matic passed the ball to him, and he just made a diagonal run. He stretched his body to face the football that had not yet landed, and completed a stunning volley!

The football almost brushed past Mendy's palm and went into the net in the lower right corner of Chelsea's goal!
At this moment, countless Manchester United fans who were watching the game in front of the TV were roaring with excitement!

Under the gaze of the live camera, Li Chen waved his fist at the visiting team's fans section that were going crazy once again!
And in China, far across the ocean, a large number of Manchester United fans are also celebrating at this moment!
They left messages in the live broadcast room of the game:

"Go through fire and water, Brother Chen!!!"
