Chapter 443

Just as Ferguson feared, Sylvester's stupid red card completely changed the trend of the game. Manchester United's previous crazy attack also disappeared after Ruud van Nistelrooy left the field.

Without such a fulcrum support, Lu Xiaopang alone challenged Terry and Carvalho, this little fat man still looked a little immature. This kind of joint flank attack cut off Manchester United's central attack.

As long as Manchester United is playing a single arrow recently, it is rare to take advantage of their opponents. Although Ferguson himself is aware of this problem, the fact that there is one less player now makes him only so stubborn.

Not only that, the Chelsea team, which had finally breathed their breath, began to contain the frequent breakthroughs of Giggs and Ronaldo on the two sides. Although Del Horno may not be able to keep up with Ferreira in terms of experience, this guy is in the confrontation of speed. The game didn't suffer, and Ashley Cole also began to return to normal performance.

After more than 30 minutes of impact, Giggs' speed also slowed down. After all, he is already in his 30s, and he is no longer in the wild state he was at the beginning. Even if he wants to sprint, he still needs to take a breath.

Only Ronaldo is still desperately competing with Chelsea, but the storms he can make alone are limited.

What's more, Ashley Cole is not a vegetarian. In this kind of one-on-one duel, it is quite difficult to keep him steady. Ronaldo's bottom crosses and inside cuts are beginning to be affected. Clamp.

In the confrontation in the middle, after experiencing the bombing of the opponent for almost half an hour, Makelele finally had a chance to breathe, and Scholes had lost the sharp feeling in the opening stage.

There is no difference in strength between these two people, so fighting like this is just about half a catty.

The pressure on defense has dropped sharply, which allows Chelsea to finally let go and fight the opponent's offense. Ten to eleven may suffer a little loss, but ten to ten, it is not sure who will have a headache.

Although there is no impact speed of Robben and Duff on the wing, but with the powerful bodies of Lampard and Gerrard as the pioneers, and behind him is equipped with a Lin Wing who has begun to go crazy, Chelsea are in the first half. 10 minutes before the end of the game, there was also a wave of powerful attacks under their control.

That exquisite free kick cooperation can be regarded as the start of Chelsea's counterattack mode. Finally, these animals don't have to endure the crazy bombing of Manchester United, and they can also press out and smash the opponent.

No. 306 minutes, Lampard once again took a free kick from the left and passed it directly to the penalty area. Terry ambushed the ferry of the header from the far post, the football slid across the goal, and Drogba missed the opportunity in the middle.

But this attack was considered the most threatening attack. There were no Manchester United players to mark Drogba. Ferdinand, who had been sticking to his post, was abruptly blocked by Carvalho.

If it wasn't for Drogba's slowness in keeping up, this would definitely be a good opportunity to single out the goalkeeper.

The distance from the goal is less than five meters, such a distance, even if Van der Sar is keeping the goal, he can't stop him.

Fortunately, Drogba missed such an opportunity at the last minute. Terry's header was indeed a bit too fast, and the tusks of the African elephant and Van der Sar's hands could be regarded as passing by.

Even the on-site commentary exclaimed, "God, if Drogba touches it, this goal may be scored."

But God still chose to take care of Manchester United at this time. Finally, they did not let their goal fall shortly after they were sent off, but this deadly threat was always lingering.

Manchester United's defense, which has been calm since the start, is now beginning to feel strong pressure.

From Ferdinand to Neville, including Van der Sar, everyone began to look nervous, even at a loss.

Van der Sar's roar in front of the goal and Ferguson's loud reminders from the sidelines did not stabilize the team.

Two minutes later, Gerrard suddenly chose to break through from the right and made a low pass. Drogba headed the ball back to the center at the far post. Lampard inserted a long shot from the back row. It was Park Ji-sung who blocked the ball with his back. eye-catching.

If it weren't for the luck of the Korean's position selection, this long-range shot would probably make Van der Sar depressed.

But Park Ji-sung also paid the price for his own blockade. He was almost overwhelmed by Lampard's heavy bombardment. Such a volley can be regarded as a real bullet-blocking, and the impact is not weak at all.

However, the replacement of the Koreans did not make up for Manchester United's current chaotic defense. After they blocked this attack, they gave the opponent another chance in the corner kick scuffle sent by Chelsea.

It's just that Carvalho's shovel shot in front of the goal failed to escape Van der Sar's hands, or it can be said that this is the footwork of a defender. If a forward is replaced, the result may be difficult to say.

Moreover, after Van der Sar blocked Carvalho's shot, he wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but just as he threw the ball to Ronaldo, Makelele and Ashley Cole jointly launched a steal .

Although Ronaldo tried to get rid of their pincers with his own fake action, the result was very sad. He swayed Ashley Cole's kick, but he had no chance to avoid Makelele's fierce interception again.

After Makelele stole the ball, he did not pause, and accurately passed it to Lin Yi, who had already started in the middle.

In less than 1 minute, Chelsea's offense made a comeback again. Lin Yi got rid of Park Ji-sung's marking in the middle and sent a precise direct pass. Drogba used his body as a cover to get rid of Ferdinandla, broke into the right side of the penalty area and kicked. , but the shot ended up hitting the side netting.

Although Drogba's shot missed, many Manchester United fans still exclaimed.

If the African elephant's volley moves a few centimeters further in, Van der Sar may not be able to catch the ball.

But Chelsea's continuous attack really put Manchester United under tremendous pressure. In these ten minutes, Van der Sar made at least three decisive saves, each time extremely thrilling.

This made Van der Sar, who seldom roared in previous games, also yelled at his back line.

"Keep them away from the goal! Damn!", the roar of the Dutch also reveals a kind of anxiety.

In the previous 10 minutes of the game, he had never suffered such a fierce bombing, but in just these few minutes, his hands had already blocked several threatening shots. Scoring a goal, Van der Sar has now felt the crisis.

He doesn't want to repeat what happened to Fulham last season. In those two games against Chelsea, he almost forgot how many times he was helplessly picking up the ball from inside and outside the goal. He finally came to Manchester United. There was that kind of nightmarish experience, so the roar of the Dutch goalkeeper revealed impatience.

Not to mention Ferguson's roar, he didn't stop until the end of the first half.

But Ferguson's roar, like Van der Sar's roar, reveals a kind of anxiety amid tension.

They are all afraid that Chelsea's offense will score in such a short period of time. If after such a frantic attack, the opponent scores first, then Old Trafford's unbeaten home game may be dead.

However, the last attack in the first half belonged to Chelsea. After Lin Yi cruised to the wing, he dribbled the ball past Neville's marking. Lampard got a chance to launch a long-range shot, but in the end he missed it.

With tens of thousands of fans watching nervously, Van der Sar once again saved the team with both hands on the goal line.

But his saves were no longer as chic and calm as before, and he even seemed a little embarrassed.

Compared with Van der Sar's expression at the moment, Petr Cech standing in front of the gate on the other side is much happier.

The Czech goalkeeper finally survived the most painful half an hour, and it was his turn to be elated this time. Seeing his Dutch counterparts in such a mess, Petr Cech was definitely feeling secretly refreshed at this moment.

Such frequent attacks have weakened the singing in Old Trafford a lot. Many Manchester United fans are watching the game so nervously that they even forgot to use singing to cheer.

Including the on-site commentary, they were sweating for Manchester United. "The downturn of Ferguson's team before the end of the first half allowed Chelsea to seize many opportunities to attack. Fortunately, the opponent failed to score."

However, such an explanation does not sound like cheering for Manchester United. It is more like saying that Manchester United's ability to keep the tie depends more on luck. They are already at a disadvantage in the scene.

In just over ten minutes, the situation on the field has come to a big reversal. The Chelsea team, which had been forced into an embarrassing situation before, has now revealed its viciousness in killing those [-] teams.

If the referee hadn't blown the whistle to end the first half, who knows what these madmen would have done.

Such a fact may no one wants to admit, especially Ferguson and Manchester United fans.

But this is something that cannot be changed. In the first three 10 minutes of the game, Manchester United played well. It can even be said that they have done everything except not scoring.

From offensive suppression to tactical execution, Ferguson's pre-match arrangements may have all been realized, but they were just one goal away, and for this reason, they lost their best chance.

Originally, they could beat Chelsea to death with a single stick, but they missed the chance to score goals repeatedly. It was indeed a waste of the most critical time, wasting the absolute opportunity of eleven against ten that they had so hard to grab.

When Sylvester was sent off, perhaps Ferguson regretted it the most. He was only a few centimeters away from choking Chelsea's life, but this gap was gone forever.

Returning to the track of confrontation with the same number of people, Chelsea finally got rid of the disadvantage of being suppressed.

In particular, Lin Yi's spirit of not wanting to die really made these animals return to their usual ferocity. If they were extremely violent and fierce, it is estimated that ordinary people would not be able to bear it, including the Manchester United team. It is also a bit difficult to keep a full retreat in front of them.

However, the commentators and Manchester United fans at the scene also hope that Ferguson can make the team look like the opening stage during the intermission. After all, this is their home court, and they have every reason to kill this group of dressed people at the door. The beast in the blue uniform, Ferguson should also have this ability.

"Although Chelsea launched a very threatening attack in the final stage of the first half, they failed to break through Manchester United's goal. We can expect that after a midfield adjustment, Manchester United will recover."

"As long as we can maintain the offensive momentum of the first half hour, we will definitely break through Chelsea's goal. This is the home of the Red Devils, and it is the undefeated theater of dreams! Manchester United will win in the end!"

Maybe this is the only confidence that this live commentary can give the fans, they all believe in Ferguson.

I believe that this old man who once led Manchester United out of the downturn can also create miracles for the team.

However, in the 10 minutes before the end of the first half, only Ronaldo and Lu Xiaopang played two counterattacks in the Manchester United team. Although Ferguson kept roaring on the sidelines, the results have already been seen.

His roar did not change the team's situation. Only Ronaldo used his speed and the two cooperation with Lu Xiaopang, which gave Manchester United two chances to counterattack, but his shot at the last moment The choice, and Lu Xiaopang's shot in the middle, did not pose a threat.

In the face of Chelsea's tight defense, Manchester United's attack lost the sharpness of the first three 10 minutes.

In order to stabilize his midfield, Ferguson can only bear such a result, but the consequences of replacing Ruud van Nistelrooy have begun to appear, lacking enough offensive threats, Chelsea has already started its own counterattack.

Ferguson is a great coach. Even Mourinho has no objection to this. Even Mourinho has said in private that in the Premier League, Ferguson and Wenger are very difficult opponents, but only Ferguson can make it easier. He felt very strong pressure, this old Scottish man was very tough.

But this kind of toughness will not make your players super strong. After all, the current staffing and individual combat capabilities of the Manchester United team may be the weakest in the past ten years. Let these guys mature or become younger in a short time.

Giggs and Scholes are old, although they are still old, but they are not at their peak after all.

The same is true of Keane, who has always been very tough. The new generation of players in the Manchester United team have not yet had the absolute ability to support the backbone of this team.

Look at yourself, and then look at Chelsea's strong lineup. Ferguson has exhausted his brain cells to prepare for this game. He almost counted everything in, except for the red card.

If there is no damn red card, maybe Chelsea are only a matter of time before they are scored.

But it was Lin Yi's seemingly unreasonable breakthrough and rush shot that instantly reversed Manchester United's advantage. When this little lunatic started to start, the Red Devils also became wilted.

Ferguson really didn't know if he had any grievances with Lin Yi in his previous life, or if he owed this kid?Why is this little lunatic popping up every time he tries to win?

For Lin Yi, Ferguson can only say that he loves and hates him. The complicated feelings almost catch up with the bloody romance drama written by Mrs. Joan. He really regrets not being able to recruit Lin Yi to his command.

But it's best to save this kind of feeling for after the game. During the ten minutes of the intermission, Ferguson had to activate all his brain cells so that he could think of a way to keep his home court advantage.

Not only did he want to start his own hair dryer to encourage the courage of the players, but he also hurriedly thought of a way.

The consequences of relying on this group of players and Chelsea to die can be imagined, but now Manchester United have any changes, maybe even those fans who are familiar with it can't find it, Ferguson is also looking for it, I hope The ten minutes of rest allowed the old man to find a solution.

No one knows what this tough old man will roar in the dressing room, but after the intermission, Mourinho obviously made adjustments to Chelsea's lineup one step ahead of Ferguson.

Essien stepped in and Makelele rested. It is estimated that when Ferguson saw this scene, he could only curse in a low voice, "That Portuguese is a fucking madman, no wonder he can teach such a crazy person like Lin Yi. Boy." Mourinho's substitutions have already explained everything, what he wants is not a draw, even if there are only ten players, he still wants to win at Old Trafford!

Although Makelele's defense is more solid, Essien's midfield interception ability is not weak. More importantly, compared with the French iron waist, Essien's offense and defense are more balanced, and he can insert in the back row at any time.

Essien's offensive ability is obviously more threatening than Makelele's. From long shots to breakthroughs, his strong body can win enough midfield advantage for the team. Mourinho just asked him to disturb the midfield.

Lin Yi was constantly entangled by Keane and the Koreans. Mourinho had already noticed it. His substitution was to put a helper beside Lin Yi and let Essien help him get rid of the other party's entanglement.

Essien, who is both offensive and defensive, wants to provide Lin Yi with more offensive support at this time. Mourinho wants to completely liberate his tactical core, untie this dangerous element, and just want to win!

After being under the pressure of Manchester United for almost half an hour, Mourinho has made up his mind. In the 45 minutes of the second half, Ferguson's team will never let Ferguson's team continue to control the rhythm. He wants to be the master!

Even if this is Old Trafford, this is the home of the Red Devils, he still has to make a fuss!

Isn't this the "Dream Theater"?Then you all look good!Chelsea's blue chariot is going to stage a perfect show for you here, and we want to take away fifteen consecutive victories here!

No matter who it is, it can't stop Chelsea's determination to win at this moment, even Ferguson and his Red Devils can't do it!Mourinho stood on the sidelines and waved his hand vigorously.

attack!Goal, Manchester United's goal!break it!Go away with victory from here! ! !

(The national football team finally did some personnel work, prayed twice for the dead, and finally has a little conscience.)
