November 1st
The fourth round of the League Cup arrived as scheduled.
According to the draw, Manchester United will once again travel to London to face Chelsea there.
Before the game, the coaches of both sides unanimously praised their opponents for their good performance in the league.
The two also said that games like the League Cup are very important to the team, but many players are unable to play due to injuries.
It not only gave the FA face, but also gave the other party eye drops.
The routine is almost the same!
Just when the media thought that both sides would give up the League Cup, both sides coincidentally sent out at least 70% of their main players.
In this wave, it can be said that both sides predicted the opponent's prediction due to a combination of circumstances.
But the result of the game was beyond the expectations of both parties.
Manchester United made adjustments on the back line, allowing Smalling to partner with Lindelof.
In the midfield, the positions of the three main players were maintained.
The adjustment on the forward line looks more like a rotation, Lingard, Greenwood and Linmo.
[Sanlin Combination] made their debut in the League Cup.
Originally Mourinho planned to use a 4-4-2 formation to strengthen the midfield, but Linmo took the initiative to find Mourinho and asked him to start.
"boSS, I need more games."
At that time, Mourinho replied directly without thinking: "The team must give those young people some opportunities. .."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Mo interrupted him directly: "boSS, I am 17 years old!"
In this way, the original 442 made McTominay appear in the game. It was changed to a 433 formation or a 4141 formation.
Lin Mo simply didn’t want to let himself get more playing opportunities and use his data to beat those white leftists in the face.
No matter who it is, as long as his body allows and his tactics are okay, Lin Mo will fight for himself.
Don’t they like to talk about data?
Lin Mo is going to slap them in the face with data!
The most critical factor in determining this game was Mourinho letting Lin Mo come to the left.
It was only the third minute of the game.
Lin Mo opened up space on the left. Zappacosta, the idle player Chelsea bought for 25 million euros last summer, could not guard Lin Mo at all.
With smooth dunks and accelerations, Costa, who played as a right back in the midfield, almost fell to the ground.
With the Stamford Bridge fans exclaiming, Lin Mo almost stepped on a tightrope and reached the goal by sticking to the bottom line.
Goalkeeper Kepa stood in front of the near post and blocked all shooting angles, even the inverted triangle.They were all blocked by Cahill and others.
But at this time, Lin Mo used a pass to bypass Chelsea's entire defense.
Greenwood on the far end easily headed the ball in.
0 to 1
Chelsea fell behind by one goal
Since this League Cup match was not broadcast, many domestic fans watched the pictures and texts at 4 a.m. Live broadcast and take a swig of beer.
●Greenwood (Assist: Lin Mo)
Mourinho on the sidelines made a small fist-pumping gesture to celebrate. In his opinion, this There is a chance in the game that you can advance smoothly without losing any blood.
At this time, Faria seemed to have gotten some information and stepped forward to speak:
"The selection has just come out. Lin Mo, Kante, and Maguire were selected for the Premier League Team of the Month. , but the best player was still given to De Bruyne. The team selected Linmo as the best player with 5 goals and 5 assists in October."
"The best player in the Premier League is only because of the last round of the Premier League. He didn't score against Everton and was defeated by De Bruyne with 1 goal and 4 assists."
Mourinho frowned: "That shouldn't be the case, at Lin Mo's age. Performance should be able to offset it."
"But he doesn't look 17 years old..."
Faria's words caused the two of them to fall into silence.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Indeed, if we didn’t see Lin Mo’s face face to face and the figure running on the field, it would be difficult to tell how old the 188-inch tall man is in the camera.
"Forget it, what did the club say?" Mourinho continued to ask while watching the game on the field.
"We are negotiating a new contract. These idiots have to pay a huge price for their previous attitude. Father Lin directly asked for the maximum salary this time." Faria shook his head, seeming to sigh with the pig. How difficult it is to work with the same teammates.
"20?"
"Yes, the current maximum salary in the team is De Gea's 200,000 pounds, and Rashford seems to also have this weekly salary."
Mourinho was silent. Judging from the current performance on the field, Lin Mo's role is greater than Rashford. If the two have the same annual salary, then the club's decision is simply stupid.
Unfortunately, the authority to renew the contract does not lie with the head coach at this time.
After a long while, Mourinho shook his head: "I will talk to the club's senior management tomorrow."
At this time, Lin Mo still didn't know what was happening on the sidelines. The situation is changing rapidly, and he must concentrate on dealing with it.
Chelsea, who were one goal behind, launched a crazy counterattack, but this counterattack played into Manchester United's hands.
Although the central defender has changed to a new combination, Manchester United's defense seems to be awkward after the thickness of the midfield is increased.The blade is more than capable.
Chelsea's offense seemed to be getting better and better, but the most threatening thing was only Cesc Fabregas' long shot in the 26th minute.
De Gea, who was in excellent form, stopped the football with one palm on the goal line, which aroused the pity of the fans at the scene.
After overcoming Chelsea's attack, Manchester United once again seized the opportunity.
The 36th minute of the game.
De Gea handed the ball to Herrera from outside the penalty area, who directly passed the ball to Chelsea's half with a long pass.
This was an abnormal counterattack by Mu's team. Instead of walking on the ground, he made a long pass with his big feet, which was very British.
At this time, the young Greenwood showed his advantage of having no reverse foot. He swayed Emerson with his left and right feet continuously and then shot directly into the far corner.
Goalkeeper Kepa flew to save the ball, but Lingard followed up and took the opportunity to miss it, expanding the score to 2-0.
Anti-counterattack in the cup is Mourinho's strength. Manchester United after leading by one goal is a nightmare for many teams.
Manchester United ended the first half with a score of 2-0.
When Mourinho walked back to the tunnel, discordant voices sounded. It seemed that because they could not afford to lose, Chelsea fans began to criticize Mourinho:
" Fuck off mourinho! ”
“Fuck off mourinho! ”
“Fuck off mourinho! ”
Mourinho pursed his lips and said nothing. back to the locker room.
Lin Mo didn’t know whether he was sad or angry. His teammates were also angry when they saw this situation.
After Mourinho calmed down, he asked a large number of substitute players to go out to warm up.
In the second half, he will insist on anti-counterattack tactics and hand over the ball to the opponent, which is the best way to protect players.
But Mourinho still made a mistake.
In the second half, Chelsea replaced Hazard and Willian consecutively to strengthen the attack.
Under such circumstances, Mourinho's tactics were very correct, but Luke Shaw was still injured.
The 68th minute of the game.
Luke Shaw was brought down by Fabregas in the counterattack, and slow-motion replay showed that Fabregas' foot seemed to stamp on Luke Shaw's ankle.
When Lin Mo stepped forward to check, he found that Luke Xiao’s eyes were closed tightly and he was gasping.
This was an obvious injury. If he still had the energy to yell, he wouldn't be so worried.
Mourinho's heart suddenly "thumped" when he saw Lin Mo waving eagerly.
"This is too bad luck..."
Chelsea used a yellow cardIn exchange for Luke Shaw's fate!
But they did not notice the anger in Lin Mo's eyes.
