Chapter 369 Overtime Penalty Shootout

In fact, Manchester United's recent tight schedule has caused Cui Zhen's body to be seriously overdrawn.No Manchester United person would accuse Cui Chen of hitting the plane with a volley shot, but when Cui Zhen fell to the ground and reached out to Rooney to help him, all Manchester United people were stunned!

Mourinho seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue, and he looked at the place where Cui Zhen was with concern.

Even if Cui Zhen couldn't run anymore, he didn't even think about replacing Cui Zhen, because maybe Cui Zhen's one-footed pass on the spot could be transformed into a goal for Manchester United!

Even though Antonio Conte would not curse Cui Zhen in his heart, it would be better if he was seriously injured and fell to the ground!But at this moment, he still hopes that Cui Zhen will not be able to persist in the game. Looking at all the players in Manchester United, when it comes to creativity, no one can compare with Cui Zhen!

In the two games, Cui Zhen directly participated in all Manchester United's goals, 5!

Four direct assists and a personal goal!The presence of such a threatening player on the field will definitely make Antonio Conte feel like a man, and he also pays close attention to Cui Zhen nervously.

Rooney came to Cui Zhen's side and knelt down on one knee to ask him about his condition. Cui Zhen's face was covered with sweat. He didn't know whether it was sweat from physical exertion or cold sweat from pain. He told Rooney about his situation.

Rooney didn't dare to lift Cui Zhen's leg to help him relieve the cramp in his calf, so he could only let Cui Zhen's right leg lie flat on the turf, and then he pressed Cui Zhen's sole to straighten his foot, Relieves cramps in the calves.

When the team doctor came to Cui Zhen's side, after checking the condition of Cui Zhen's right leg, the team doctor made a gesture in the direction of Mourinho on the sidelines.

Substitution!Mourinho put his right hand on his forehead, then slapped his thigh, and immediately walked to Lingard.

Antonio Conte let out a heavy breath.For some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief at this moment.

Probably Cui Zhen's threat is too great!God knows what this player who came from the far east to the west and rose like a comet will do!

"Oops! Cui Zhen, the core midfielder of Manchester United, was replaced due to injury. We all know his contribution to Manchester United in the recent games. His physical energy consumption is too high. Excessive overdrawing of the body will increase the probability of injury. It goes without saying. Doubt!

Look at our favorite Owen, he is still so young, but he has started to get injured frequently. This is the price of overdrawing his body when Liverpool used Owen!Cui Zhen stood up.He didn't stand still and nearly fell down. Fortunately, the team doctor helped him. He gently pushed the team doctor away and seemed to be limping towards the sidelines. "

Cui Zhen walked towards the sidelines with a calm expression. The team doctor knew that Cui Zhen was a strong person. As long as he could walk alone, he would not need others to help him, so he only followed the rhythm of Cui Zhen's steps on both sides. Potential.They will help.

Cui Zhen felt great loss and regret in his heart, he didn't know what was going on in this scene.How many fans who like him are worried, and even fans who are too emotional will be heartbroken.

As he walked to the sidelines step by step, there was a huge applause from the stand where the Stamford Bridge visiting fans were, and every Manchester United fan applauded him with admiration.

They don't ask for too much, and Cui Zhen's figure looks so strong, and he will definitely not be reduced to the point where he should be sympathized or pitied.

Lingard, who was standing on the sidelines with his head upright and ready to replace him, kept staring at Cui Zhen with reverence in his eyes!

Yes, reverence!

How many people in the green world worship Maradona?Bailey?Maldini?Ronaldo?Zidane?

Those superstars who are currently or have been at the top are naturally successful, and their success is enviable.

But in a sense, that is also a bit far away.Just like everyone knows that Bill Gates built the Microsoft empire and the spiritual significance of the Rockefeller family in the United States.

so what?That seems to be a typical example of high-spirited talk, which is far higher than life and divorced from reality.

The environment around everyone is the most contagious and the most influential!

In Lingard's eyes, whether Zidane or Ronaldo, they are great, but they are not real. What he can see, and what makes him feel the deepest, are his teammates around him!Especially teammates in similar age groups.

Cui Zhen has never squandered his talent. He used his sweat to realize his football dream. The tenacity he showed is also the foundation of his success!Now listen to the endless applause from the fans of the visiting team, which represents Cui Zhen's success.

Lingard admires Cui Zhen from the bottom of his heart, especially after witnessing Cui Zhen's great contribution to the team on the bench, he is even more convinced.

He is indeed a role model for young players in Mourinho's mouth. This is not a shame, but it should be done!

When Cui Zhen walked in front of Lingard, he hugged Lingard gently, Lingard whispered something comforting in his ear, Cui Zhen nodded slightly and walked out of the scene.

Lingard ran into the field with firm eyes. Cui Zhen took the vacant position he replaced. Although he dare not say that he will definitely perform better than Cui Zhen, but when the team's battle with Chelsea reaches this stage , He also has a strong will to defend the team and help the team win!

Cui Zhen sat on the bench, took the water bottle handed by the assistant coach to drink, and the team doctor began to treat his right leg.

Although Mourinho is concerned about Cui Zhen's injury, he is still not sure whether Cui Zhen will be absent for a long time in the future. Right now he needs to focus on the game.

Of course, Mourinho can see Chelsea's wishful thinking. If Manchester United is in good physical condition and in excellent condition, then Mourinho will insist on letting the team attack!

But in the current situation, if you do this again, you must be throwing yourself into a trap. You know that the other party has dug a hole for you to jump into, but you still think you are very heroic and jump down. That is not brave, it is stupid.

After Lingard played, Manchester United's formation also began to shrink, not giving Chelsea a chance to fight back.

What exactly do you rely on to win?Everyone is fighting back!Manchester United can't afford to waste their positions, so they can only shrink back to fight counterattacks.

Chelsea knew that once Manchester United scored a goal, then they were almost finished!

Manchester United scored one more away goal than them. If they want to reverse the situation, they must score one more goal, that is, two goals!

Therefore, in the last few minutes of 90 minutes of regular time, the game was a peaceful and tepid situation. Finally, after the stoppage time, the two teams will start an overtime battle!

Cui Zhen was sitting on the bench, with an ice pack fixed on his right thigh. It wasn't until he was sitting here that he felt great frustration, the kind of mentality that he could only watch his teammates sweat and give, and he couldn't help even if he had a clear conscience. It is simply a torment.

"The Champions League quarter-final between Manchester United and Chelsea unexpectedly went to extra time, the two teams played 180:5 in two regular 5-minute games, the same away goals, both goals.

Chelsea has the advantage of the home court, but if Manchester United can score another goal, Chelsea must score two more goals to eliminate Manchester United. I don't know how Mourinho and Antonio Conte will make a choice in overtime. "

Antonio Conte envisioned that in overtime, as long as Manchester United dared to attack, then Chelsea would be able to drag Manchester United down in the tug-of-war.

He prepared a set of tactics for Chelsea to weaken the defense and attack suddenly, from three midfielders to double midfielders, and even finally to single midfielders.

But when the overtime started, Antonio Conte was shocked to find that Manchester United had played the ultimate defense!

Rooney, who is at the front, is almost walking. His physical fitness is already exhausted, and now he can only accumulate strength while waiting for a good opportunity to come.

Mkhitaryan also withdrew to the backcourt to participate in the defense. Manchester United's counterattack relied on two points: Lingard and Memphis Depay.

If the two can penetrate Chelsea's defense and create good opportunities for Rooney, Manchester United's counterattack threat will hit Chelsea's goal!

Mourinho has put aside all concerns at this moment and can only let nature take its course.

If Manchester United takes the initiative to attack, the probability of losing in the round-trip of offense and defense is bound to be extremely high. Now it only depends on how Chelsea responds.

He hopes that Chelsea will think they have an advantage in physical fitness and take the initiative to press and attack.

But Antonio Conte hesitated. You must know that in the early days of Mourinho's leadership of Manchester United, Manchester United's most determined tactic was defensive counterattack.

Antonio Conte knows that Chelsea's ability to attack tough battles is not enough.From the time he took over the team to today, Chelsea actually has only one style of play: anti-reverse!

positional warfare?Having played does not mean knowing how to fight!Besides, the opponent is still at the level of Manchester United.

The tables turned!In the regular 180-minute two-round game, Manchester United seemed to have the initiative on the field.But in terms of creating offensive threats, Chelsea has an advantage. Manchester United will always expose the backcourt space because of offense, allowing Chelsea to seize the opportunity to counterattack and play the offense they are good at.

After extra time, Chelsea had the initiative at Stamford Bridge, but Antonio Conte understood that this initiative was only the surface situation on the field, and if he thought that he would definitely win the game if he took the initiative to attack.Then he is definitely not a staunch supporter of anti-counterfeit utilitarian football.

And once Chelsea go to play an offense that they are not good at, and the defense is exposed, then who is the dominant side?

Manchester United!

Mourinho directed the team's defense from the sidelines, while Antonio Conte continued to wave his arms on the sidelines to command the team to retreat, which also strengthened the defense!

He was overturning the strategic plan he had laid out a few minutes earlier.

Because Manchester United's change surprised him, Antonio Conte, who is so bright-eyed, can only wait now. Defensive counterattack is a late-strike tactic. He has to compete with Mourinho for patience. Chelsea and Manchester United will see who can't hold back first!

Overtime games are boring.Even Cui Zhen kept shaking his head while watching from the bench.

Both teams have their own fears. Manchester United may take the initiative to attack but cannot recover, allowing Chelsea to launch a fatal counterattack.

Chelsea worried that their offensive strength was not strong enough to shake the dense defense line put up by Manchester United, and then they were defeated by Manchester United's counterattack.

So the game was in a stalemate, and no one created a good chance and came to an end.

"After the boring overtime, the two teams will enter a penalty shootout!" Mourinho was helpless.Antonio Conte is also helpless.

Maybe Mourinho, in addition to helplessness, also has contempt for Antonio Conte.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea did not dare to take the initiative to attack. They could only dare to defend and counterattack.

In this way, Antonio Conte is always showing off in front of the media, which Mourinho despises.

Cui Zhen sat on the bench and watched Mourinho arrange the penalty list. His teammates encouraged each other. He also stood up, walked slowly to the sidelines, patted Pogba's arm, and looked at Rooney. Nodding firmly, he hugged Lingard again, and walked to Memphis Depay to exchange a few words.

When the penalty shootout came, Cui Zhen and his teammates stood on the sidelines, waiting for the roulette to be played together.
