Football is equivalent to war. Every stage has its own tactics. After 80 minutes of the game, Manchester United's goal of playing less than one man has given up winning, but has become a draw.
It's also defensive counterattack. The counterattack that is ready to win will certainly invest more troops, while the counterattack that is ready to keep a draw will certainly not invest a lot of troops. The purpose of the forward in front is to suppress the opponent's defenders and prevent them from Crazy assists. At the same time, it will consume a little time. It's only ten minutes after the attack, and it's almost a drag.
In the fight for life at Chelsea, Ferguson once again made adjustments to the team, midfield all retreat, leaving only one Rooney in front, almost a 801 formation.
Manchester United such a rich team, rarely play such a formation opportunities, Rooney in front of very lonely, and some at a loss, the first time he got a long pass, two centre backs and a back three people came to attack Rooney, Rooney directly confused, because Rooney side a suitable Manchester United players are not, Rooney does not know whether to break or not It's time to pass the ball, or it's time to shoot. After a moment's hesitation, Terry's shoveling, Rooney's holding the ball a little bit bigger, and Essien's rushing to steal it.
Manchester United didn't know how many times to break through, so it was easy to pass the ball to Wayne Rooney. Unexpectedly, Wayne Rooney lost the ball faster than he passed it. Even without any delay, Ferguson was so angry that his nose was almost crooked.
Chelsea's attack continues. As time goes by, the score is still unchanged. The snow is falling more and more. It's hard to play on the ground. The people of Chelsea don't care about any tactics. They just break through the side and pass, hang in the middle and shoot from a long distance. No matter how powerful they are, they use the number of attacks to make United's defensive mistakes.
Chelsea is also an experienced team. Their tactics look simple and rough, but in fact they are very suitable.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Chelsea's tactical corner ball crossed to the front of the penalty area. Essien's 25m long-range shot caused van der Sar's mistake, and the ball fell directly on Drogba's feet. Before Drogba could make any action, the ball bounced to the goal.
Fortunately, the ball bounced from Drogba's foot and was not fast. Fletcher kicked the ball into the air on the goal line.
It's a chance for Chelsea, but it's not good enough. Drogba is not a competitive striker like Inzaghi. His reaction is slow. He didn't seize this opportunity.
The fans of Chelsea all sigh and regret that at this time point, such an opportunity can not be grasped, it is really difficult to win.
Abramovich in the VIP box almost screamed when the ball went to Drogba. Seeing that the ball was finally cleared by Fletcher, Abramovich slapped the table and sat down again.
Manchester United's young owner Joel secretly wiped a cold sweat, the heart that is about to jump to the throat finally fell to the stomach.
Zhu Kewa said to Emma: "Drogba's reaction is too slow, this ball for Sheva, Inzaghi have."
Emma is very familiar with Chelsea, said: "you can't use the sledgehammer as a sword, it's not the style of Drogba."
Although the fans of Chelsea are very disappointed, but in the case of the overwhelming advantage of the Chelsea people, time is short, but there are still opportunities.
After Fletcher drove the ball out of the penalty area, there were not many people in Manchester United who went to grab the spot. Apart from worrying about losing the spot, it was more because of the lack of physical ability. After playing for nearly 40 minutes, Manchester United's players were exhausted. They had to keep their physical strength to defend, and they had no energy to grab the second spot.
Gao Xiaodong comes out and steals, and is lively. Of course, this is not a good distribution of Gao Xiaodong's physical ability. He attacks in front and defends in back, and consumes more energy. However, Gao Xiaodong has a system. He just secretly bought a small tonic pill to eat, and his energy comes back in an instant, and he runs faster than anyone else.
Gao Xiaodong didn't get the ball when he came out. There were more players around the penalty area. Someone went to the front of Gao Xiaodong and he lost the chance to get the ball. As long as the opponent was more likely to get the ball than Gao Xiaodong himself, Gao Xiaodong had to run back to defend.
It was Terry who got the ball for Chelsea, who lifted it into the penalty area and continued to threaten Manchester United's goal from the air.
Terry's ball is not accurate, but there are many people in the penalty area, and the space of goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar is limited, so he can't come out to get the ball. He can only watch his teammates compete with the players of Chelsea.
The ball was snatched by Torres, who wanted to hit the goal with his head. He was hit by someone and the ball fell on guard Smalling's arm.
Torres and Drogba quickly raised their hands to signal a "handball foul" in the hope that the referee Atkinson will give another penalty.
There were a lot of people in the penalty area, but Atkinson and the linesman didn't see it. Atkinson gave a penalty to Chelsea in the first half and sent Vidic off. Even if he saw it now, I'm afraid he might not have judged it, let alone didn't see it yet.
Atkinson ignored the protests of Torres and Drogba and acquiesced in the game.
Torres and Drogba went to protest against Smalling's handball and didn't press for it at the first time. Nani kicked the ball forward to find Rooney.
This is the second time Rooney received the ball when he was in the front. This time, Rooney was not as confused as he was at first. He unloaded the ball on the instep of his foot. Before Terry came to block it, he took the ball to the baseline and ran to the baseline quickly.Rooney's choice is very good. No matter whether he can create shooting opportunities or not, time must be consumed in the past. Time is life for Manchester United.
However, Rooney was very diligent. He ran fiercely in the first half and the second half, and he kept fighting with the opponent's defenders in the front court. His physical strength had already been exhausted. After he accelerated, he forced to accelerate again, and then fell to the ground with cramps.
However, the Chelsie was already in a hurry, Rooney fell to the ground and was ignored. Terry caught up with the ball, made a big kick to Manchester United's penalty area and continued to attack.
Manchester United fans in the stands immediately booed and yelled "shame! Shame
Ferguson also rushed to Ancelotti angrily and yelled: "how can you do this? Is there any more sportsmanship? "
Ancelotti shrugged. "I didn't set it up before the game."
Ferguson said angrily: "this is not your training."
Ancelotti said: "the players are adults. You should go to the referee
Ferguson then yelled at Atkinson to stop the game, but Atkinson didn't seem to hear it.
Terry's ball went to the penalty area. Edwin van der Sar took two steps to jump up and beat Torres. He hit Torres himself and fell into the penalty area.
The ball fell in front of Lampard. Lampard wanted to shoot the empty goal directly, but he just stopped the ball with his chest and raised his foot to shoot it. Gao Xiaodong suddenly rushed over from the side, bent over to head the ball, pushed the ball out of Lampard's foot and turned Lampard to the ground.
Gao Xiaodong's rescue was too bloody. He was desperate and scared the Manchester United fans at the scene.
"Ah! God! Don't do that
"Gao, what are you doing?"
"Desperate!"
"Don't play like that! It's not worth getting hurt. "
……
Emma in the box also screamed with fright. She didn't know whether she was worried about Gao Xiaodong's injury or that she was worried about Gao Xiaodong's counterattack.
Of course, Gao Xiaodong didn't really fight for his life. He didn't wear super protective gear on his head, but when he bent down to grab the header, he still protected his face with his hand. However, he also touched Lampard's spikes with his flesh and blood. He pushed the ball out, but his forehead was still hung by the spikes, and the blood flowed down his cheek.
But Gao Xiaodong didn't notice. He got up and ran for the ball, ready to fight back against Chelsea.
At this time, however, Atkinson's whistle rang. He stopped the game and asked the team doctor to come in and treat Rooney. At the same time, he asked Gao Xiaodong to bandage the wound.
Although this reason is very good, after Gao Xiaodong grabs the ball, the counterattack is very threatening, which is tantamount to destroying United's counterattack opportunity. Ferguson is angry and scolds, and Manchester United fans in the stands also point at Atkinson and hiss at Atkinson.
Rooney was carried to the sideline treatment, Gao Xiaodong also came to the sideline to deal with the wound.
Manchester United fans are very satisfied with the performance of the two chubby players today. One is cramped and the other is bloody. Even if Manchester United lose this game, they are absolutely worthy of their jerseys.
Ferguson also had to make the final adjustment. Park Zhixing came on and replaced Rooney. Gao Xiaodong also came on again with white gauze.
Rooney, the original fulcrum, went down and Gao Xiaodong was pushed to the front.
Although Gao Xiaodong's defensive ability is also very strong, at this time, someone must be in front to suppress the defender of Chelsea and let Terry and David Lewis press into the penalty area to attack the header. Manchester United may not be able to stop it.
Gao Xiaodong is totally different from Rooney when he comes to the front court. Gao Xiaodong has a better awareness, a deeper understanding of the defender's intentions and tricks, and he has better physical fitness, faster speed and greater pressure on the Chelsea defender.
When the game entered 90 minutes, Gao Xiaodong grabbed the ball right once.
This is a big break in Manchester United's penalty area. Essien and Terry plan to block Gao Xiaodong and grab the ball one by one, but Gao Xiaodong's speed is too fast. Essien doesn't block it and Gao Xiaodong grabs the ball in front of Terry.
Terry thought that Gao Xiaodong would head behind him, so catching up would be a single shot, so Terry was ready for fouls. However, Gao Xiaodong didn't control the ball under his feet, so he directly headed to the side, and then started to catch up.
Terry has no choice but to go to chase Gao Xiaodong with Essien.
Gao Xiaodong is running to the side. Seeing that the two are catching up, he pushes the ball behind them and then runs to the other side.
When Gao Xiaodong was dribbling the ball in the front court, only Michael Essien and John Terry defended, and Louis, another centre back, came back to defend. Only park Zhixing came to meet United, and no one else came back.
Gao Xiaodong doesn't run to the bottom line, but runs horizontally, so the space is huge and won't be blocked by the defensive players. If he runs back and forth several times like this, even if he grabs the ball, it will take a minute. If he fouls after running several times, it won't be cost-effective.Essien has no choice but to try his best to catch up with Gao Xiaodong and try to push him down from behind. However, Gao Xiaodong has super glasses and is accurate in judging the distance between Essien and himself. When Essien is about to catch up with him, Gao Xiaodong suddenly buckles the ball and turns to the bottom line.
Essien was shaken almost spit blood, he rushed to the emergency stop, and Terry together to drive Gao Xiaodong to the side.
Gao Xiaodong has no choice but to run to the corner flag area with the ball. Even if he is robbed, Gao Xiaodong has to spend more time.
When Gao Xiaodong runs to the bottom line, Essien catches up first. Gao Xiaodong turns his back to him and protects the ball with his strong body to prevent Essien from stealing. Essien turns back and forth behind Gao Xiaodong to steal the ball, but Gao Xiaodong turns faster than him, Essien just can't get it.
Terry also came at this time, he wanted to steal from the other side, but Gao Xiaodong immediately protected the ball to the corner flag, holding the corner flag firmly, Terry and Essien could not get the ball without a foul.
Andy Gray, the commentator on the spot, said with tears and laughter: "the total time is 4 minutes. Gao Xiaodong spent more than one minute with the ball this time. If Chelsea fouled again at this time, it's really not worth it."
Gao Xiaodong is very strong with corner flag in his hand. He has support. Terry didn't grab it several times. He is also very smart. He immediately goes around the sideline to the opposite side of Gao Xiaodong to steal.
Gao xiaodongbitri is smarter. Seeing Terry around in front of him, he shouts at the linesman, then kicks the ball to Terry and pops up the bottom line.
"Terry touched it." Gao Xiaodong raised his hand and yelled.
The linesman saw clearly and pointed to the corner flag area.
Terry was so angry that he yelled at Gao Xiaodong and was mean.
Gao Xiaodong is complacent and doesn't care.
Manchester United got a corner and two minutes of four minutes' stoppage time passed.
Gao Xiaodong saw that Ferdinand, Smalling and other head kickers came straight to fight for the top, Gao Xiaodong said to Ferdinand: "brother Rio, you still want to score at this time, you'd better go back to defense, this game can be even."
Ferdinand was speechless, he felt a little humiliated, but at this time, losing was humiliated, others were not humiliated, so he took Smalling back to his own half.
However, Nani was the only player in the middle of United's corner. Park Zhixing wanted to go to the middle of United's corner, but Gao Xiaodong called him to serve a tactical corner.
Seeing this wonderful scene, Andy Gray was really stupid. He sighed: "it's really an eye opener. Manchester United's corner kick is also drunk. Now I'm thinking about it. Can Gao Xiaodong get through all the four minutes of make-up time by himself?"
Of course, Gao Xiaodong didn't serve the corner directly. He passed the ball to park Zhixing. Park Zhixing passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong again. Gao Xiaodong immediately turned around and protected the ball again.
This makes Essien very angry. He is so big that he has never seen such an obscene player. He has robbed him several times but failed to do so. He is furious and pushes Gao Xiaodong to the ground from behind.
Gao Xiaodong is waiting to touch porcelain. He lies forward and just lies on the ball.
The referee Atkinson's whistle doesn't ring, or there will be no kick.
United got a free kick again.
Seeing the free kick, even Ancelotti sighed, because it was three minutes in stoppage time. Gao Xiaodong consumed three minutes for Chelsea alone.
The Chelsea fans in the stands were infuriated by Gao Xiaodong and began to boo him.
Commentator Andy Gray said with a smile: "is this the new crouching tactic invented by Manchester United?"
In the VIP box, when she saw Gao Xiaodong's performance, Emma already had a stomachache with laughter. Even Zhu Kewa couldn't hold her face tightly, but she was afraid that Abu would be angry, so she couldn't laugh or cry on her face, which was very embarrassing.
When Gao Xiaodong sent a free kick, park Zhixing was still not far away from him. The players at Chelsea thought Gao Xiaodong was going to continue his crouching tactics. Four people wanted to come over and grab Gao Xiaodong. However, this time Gao Xiaodong opened the ball to his own half and went to find his goalkeeper van der Sar.
Van der Sar is also a veteran. Seeing Gao Xiaodong pass the ball to himself, he bumps the ball into his own restricted area, waiting for the players of Chelsea to come up and grab it and pass it to Evra on the wing. Evra took a few steps forward and made a big kick out of the sideline.
At the moment, the stoppage time has passed, but Atkinson didn't whistle and gave Chelsea a chance to attack.
However, Chelsea made a mistake. After Torres sent out a foul, Terry opened to Manchester United's penalty area and the ball was directly taken by van der Sar.
Atkinson finally blew the whistle at the end of the game, which was nearly five minutes in stoppage time.
Beep, beep, beep
Two short, one long and three whistles, Manchester United finally drew with Chelsea at half-time, keeping the unbeaten gold medal and 11 point lead.
