Since coaching Chelsea, Conte has never encountered such a serious situation. He used to win a championship. Although he only won the fifth place in the league last season, with Manchester United winning the Champions League, Chelsea finally qualified for the Champions League this season.

But this time... it's really different!

This season, Chelsea bought four stars including Lukaku, Teres, Artur, and Vitolo in the transfer market in accordance with Conte's request, with a total cost of about 200 million pounds. As a result, the top four in the league have not entered, and it is very lingering to compete for fifth place with Tottenham Hotspur. If they stop in the Champions League semi-finals, or finally reach the final and fail to win the cup, Conte's coaching career at Chelsea will really come to an end.

The Premier League champion team two years ago, invested 200 million pounds this season, but did not get the top four in the league... Who can explain this coaching result?

So now Conte is also dedicated to his life and death with Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium. If he loses... his coaching career at Chelsea will end, and he is even a failure in his coaching resume. He may have a lot of decline in his rankings on some coaching rankings.

But now the situation at Chelsea is getting more and more difficult. When I played against Manchester United at home, I only lacked a Lukaku on the offensive end. Although it is very important, it is just a person.

As a result, this time... the situation of the "Blue Army" is even more difficult than the last time!

William was injured in Chelsea's home game against Bournemouth. This time, Conte lost even the attack line composed of Morata, Vitolo and William!

When Conte arrived at the hotel in Manchester with the "Blue Army", the media from all over Europe were a little confused. They really didn't expect Conte to be in such difficulty now. In the last game against Manchester United, he also had an attack line composed of Morata, William and Vitolo. Although it was average, it was still complete and had the potential to explode.

But this time... William didn't come to Manchester!

The only attackers Conte brought were Morata, Vitolo and... Spanish veteran Pedro, who is now 31 years old!

Another thing is that Lao Jiro, who is already 32 years old and has only played in the "trash event" for Chelsea this season.

After seeing Chelsea's lineup, the reporters couldn't help but sigh for Conte... This is so difficult!

In such a critical game, Wu Feng was finally available. Speaking of which... Is this a matter of no specific and reasonable plan for the use of players during Conte's coaching process?

In fact, Manchester United's attack line thickness may not be stronger than Chelsea, Yang Xiaozhuang, Martial, Rashford, Andreas Pereira, and Demarle Gray who was bought for the winter transfer.

Manchester United's attacking line is only these five players, and in fact there are not many people in number. But the problem is that these attacking players from Manchester United are not old, they are in good physical condition, and there are few injuries. This is enough for Solskjaer to use. Chelsea's forward player is older and unexpectedly injured Lukaku, the main center. It can only be said that... it is fate!

After coming to Manchester, Conte was blocked by football reporters from various European countries in the hotel, and he had to accept an interview and answer some questions...

"Yes, we are in a very difficult situation now, which is very rare in my coaching career!"

"Changes... Because of the lineup, we don't have much to do now. I can only adjust as much as possible and line up a lineup that best plays the strength of the players, that's all."

"Who is more likely to win by us or Manchester United... I think the bookmaker has already given the answer?"

When Conte answered reporters' questions, he seemed to be quite depressed throughout the whole process, as if he was not optimistic about his team in the next Champions League semi-finals.

But that night, Manchester United's retired celebrity Ferdinand issued a warning on the self-media: Chelsea team will never give up easily, and Conte has always been a very resilient head coach. In an interview today, Conte expressed his pessimism about tomorrow's game. This is definitely a smoke bomb released by Chelsea. Ole and the young men must not be fooled, and must take the game seriously.

Being deceived?

How could it be!?

On the next day, on the morning of the game day, Solskjaer was leading the team to carry out some tactical training, and the main exercise was...setting ball!

The last time he played against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge Stadium, the opponent used a set piece to knock on Manchester United's goal first, which also made Solskjaer and Manchester United's coaching staff realize the huge role of set piece in such a key game.

In such an important game as the Champions League semi-finals, many times both sides will play a stalemate in the game, and often a successful set piece can break the deadlock on the court and cause a complete change in the game situation.

This time, Manchester United also practices set pieces!

For Manchester United, in fact, they don’t need to use set pieces to score goals in many games. After all, their attack line is really strong enough. Yang Xiaozhuang in the middle can often create opportunities again and again through his strong personal abilities. Every time the passing that seems impossible to have a chance in others’ eyes, it is likely to be converted into a goal when he reaches Yang Xiaozhuang!

It is precisely because of this ability that Yang Xiaozhuang can make up as many as 12.44 shots in each game this season. Without so many shots, naturally, there will be no more goals than Yang Xiaozhuang!

However, if you practice set pieces well, then there is a way to score goals in the game, which is always good!

These young players from Manchester United are not very famous, but their tactical execution ability is really strong. The main reason is that they are serious enough, so they practiced four or five sets of set pieces in the morning.

Moreover, Solskjaer is also trying to be foolproof this time. After all, Manchester United only tied 1:1 with Chelsea away. Although he had a home advantage when he returned to the home court this time, Conte was also a cunning person, and Chelsea... was definitely not as weak as he thought!

The most important thing is that the "Blue Army" now has no way out. If they want to play in the Champions League next season, if Conte continues to coach now, they must eliminate Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals and eventually win the Champions League final.

But... No matter Solskjaer or Manchester United players, no one doesn't want to win the Champions League!
Chapter completed!
