Rooney didn't score when he had a chance to win. Manchester United fans are not only sorry, but also worried, because there seems to be an irregular rule on the pitch, and the side who missed the chance will often be killed by the opponent.
The situation of Chelsea is similar to that of Arsenal before. They have to win. There is little hope for a draw. If they lose, there is basically no hope for the championship.
In such a situation, although Manchester United's counterattack made Chelsea very frightened, but the players of Chelsea still bravely forward, attacking around Manchester United.
In the 40th minute of the game, Drogba shouldered Vidic to give the ball back to Lampard, and Lampard made a burst shot 27 meters away.
Lampard's long-range shot was excellent and it went straight to the top right corner of the goal.
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar did well today as he jumped up and hit the bottom line with his fingertips.
This save made Manchester United fans almost burst into tears. Edwin van der Sar was 41 years old immediately. This kind of state is really supernatural. Without Edwin van der Sar's several saves, maybe Chelsea have scored.
Lampard was very depressed. He roared at the snowflake sky and quickly ran to the corner flag area to serve the corner kick.
The goal of Manchester United can't be broken in sports. The hope of Chelsea lies in the set pieces. All the players who can grab the header come to the forbidden area of Manchester United.
Lampard made a quick, spinning corner.
Such a ball is not easy to judge the landing point, but the threat is greater after the top.
This time, Chelsea put in a lot of troops in the penalty area, even the players with average heading ability also ran to the penalty area to interfere with the defense of Manchester United players.
High input brings high harvest. Ivanovic snatched the landing point. He was teased by Gao Xiaodong today, and his heart was on fire. The header was full of strength. Unfortunately, he didn't grasp the opportunity. The ball hit him on the forehead, and the ball flew high out of the bottom line.
At the moment, the first half of the game is drawing to a close. Van der Sar has rich experience. The little boy at Stamford Bridge quickly threw the ball to him, but Van der Sar didn't pick it up. Instead, he ran behind the goal to pick up the ball that Ivanovic headed.
Van der Sar's delay caused a burst of boos from the Chelsea fans.
Edwin van der Sar didn't kick the ball any more, but passed it to full back Evra.
Evra is also a veteran on the pitch. His idea is the same as that of van der Sar. Now that Chelsea are attacking so hard, Manchester United should delay for a while and drag the one goal lead to the second half.
After Evra received the ball, Anelka quickly grabbed it, but Gao Xiaodong also recovered to his side of the penalty area to receive Evra.
Evra passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong didn't dribble forward. When Anelka came, he immediately passed the ball to Evra.
Evra almost gave Gao Xiaodong a thumbs up. From this pass, Evra knew that the Chinese young man was very good at reading the game. He knew that it was time-consuming now, so he didn't move forward as fast as before and gave the ball back to himself.
Ivan Ivanovic, who is still in charge of the centre back, is still pushing forward.
Evra believed in Gao Xiaodong's ability to control the ball and then passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.
When Gao Xiaodong catches the ball, Ivanovic has arrived. Gao Xiaodong can't pass it to Evra again, and the middle pass line is blocked. Gao Xiaodong is brave. He immediately turns around and supports his arm to protect the ball from Ivanovic.
Ivanovic thought that his height and strength, steal the back of the ball Gao Xiaodong should be no problem, but two people contact, Ivanovic found that his strength does not need Gao Xiaodong strong, Gao Xiaodong arm backward expenditure, Ivanovic unexpectedly can not squeeze Gao Xiaodong's side.
Ivanovic pushed Gao Xiaodong to the side, waiting for his teammates to attack him.
Gao Xiaodong is a person who is calculating others all day. He can't see Ivanovic's thoughts. When he sees the linesman running over, Gao Xiaodong suddenly yells "foul".
Ivanovic was stunned for a moment. He didn't think he had fouled, but in Ivanovic's amazing effort, Gao Xiaodong knocked the ball under Ivanovic's crotch with his heel and turned around Ivanovic from the side.
Ivanovic is a full back, let Gao Xiaodong past, the whole right is empty, he quickly reached out to pull Gao Xiaodong's shirt.
Gao Xiaodong's jersey is a special material. After Ivanovic caught it, he just felt that his hand slipped and he didn't hold it.
After Gao Xiaodong broke through Ivanovic, he immediately killed the half of Chelsea at high speed.
Opportunities come, of course, can not continue to consume time, as long as one more goal, victory will be guaranteed.
Gao Xiaodong made a rapid advance from the side, and his speed reached the peak, which did not give the defender and midfield of Chelsea time to defend.
Gao Xiaodong this wave of rapid progress, the beginning of Manchester United players to keep up with only forward Rooney, others were left behind.
Gao Xiaodong wanted to pass from the bottom, but he suddenly saw Nani on the other side following him, and there was no one to defend. Ashley Cole didn't know why he didn't come back.Gao Xiaodong immediately gave up the idea of the bottom, a long pass transfer found Nani.
Nani sent the ball forward, unloaded the ball in front easily, accelerated a few steps and got into the penalty area.
"Single ball! Single shot
"Nani! Shoot him
"Seize the chance!"
"Pass the ball!"
……
Cech has been attacking when Nani unloads the ball. He quickly approaches Nani and reduces Nani's shooting angle.
At the moment, Rooney in the middle of the road has made a half position lead, he quickly raised his hand to shout for the ball, as long as Nani can pass the ball, Rooney is playing empty.
Of course, Nani certainly didn't pass. It's not that Nani didn't want to pass. Cech came up too fast. Nani didn't observe the time around.
Nanishu shook for a moment and immediately pushed the arch of his foot into the far corner of the goal.
It was a very simple shot, but Cech had a lot of experience. He judged that Nani wanted to play in the far corner, and he fell down and threw the ball in his arms.
Another single ball didn't score, Nani squatted on the ground with his head in his arms.
Nani patronized the chagrin, not in the first time to stop Cech serve, but Cech is full of attack, he picked up from the ground holding the ball, at a glance to see the late Ashley Cole.
Although Ashley Cole's defense is too slow, but Ashley Cole's attack is still very reassuring, not to mention Nani did not go back.
Cech found Ashley Cole with a quick long-range throw.
Ashley Cole quickly dribbled the ball down the wing to fight United's counter attack.
Ashley Cole's attack power is really very strong. O'Shea came to defend, but the gap behind him was too big, and Ashley Cole used his speed to rush directly.
When Ashley Cole rushed to the side of the penalty area, he saw that Drogba had already got ahead of Ferdinand and entered the area. Another centre back Vidic was coming to make up the defence. Ashley Colmar's last curve ball went to the area to find Drogba.
The ball passed accurately, and Drogba jumped high to head the ball in the opposite direction.
Vidic is a bit late for Drogba, but he can't watch Drogba snatch. Knowing that it's useless, he can only jump up and fight for it.
Unfortunately, in order to keep his balance, Vidic's arm opened to one side and Drogba's header hit Vidic's arm.
After Drogba landed, he immediately raised his hand and called for Vidic's handball.
Referee Atkinson also saw the handball, he immediately whistled and ran over, pointed to the penalty spot, and showed Vidic a yellow card.
However, when Atkinson recorded the yellow card, he suddenly found that Vidic had already got a yellow card, so he took out the ruby card and gave it to Vidic.
