Chapter 995

Every Manchester United player was a little nervous when he went to Stamford Bridge.

Here, they haven't won in nine years.

Even with Gao Xiaodong, in the first round of the league, Manchester United got a wretched draw by procrastinating.

Before the kick-off, when the players shake hands, the players of Chelsea are very confident. They constantly challenge the players of Manchester United with their eyes, expressions and actions, hoping to strike the confidence of the players of Manchester United before the game.

Manchester United players tit for tat, not polite at all, Gao Xiaodong and Ivanovic, whom he played in the first leg of the league, also scolded each other.

The two coaches, Carlo Ancelotti and Ferguson, were gracious. They shook hands and blessed each other.

Taking advantage of the gap of the pre match ceremony, sky sports commentator Andy Gray reviewed the starting and fighting situation of both sides in the first round of the league.

"Compared with the last red and blue war, the back line of Chelsea has changed a lot. The full back Ivanovic, who was teased by Gao Xiaodong last time, played at the centre back today. The full back has become Bosingwa. Malouda is replaced by Zhirkov, and Drogba's partner has become golden boy Torres. Both of them are the sufferers of Manchester United As for Manchester United, O'Shea is replaced by Rafael who is younger and more able to run. The forward is a combination of Rooney and Hernandez. In the middle, Ferguson made a bold decision. He put Scholes on the bench and used Fletcher, Nani, Valencia and Gao Xiaodong to partner in the middle of the midfield. The midfield is very fast, but not as powerful as Chelsea, and the technique is not better than Chelsea. We have to wait until the end of the game to comment on the effect

The first to kick off is Manchester United on the road.

At Stamford Bridge, Manchester United are almost the most hostile team. Even at the kick-off, the Blues fans were booing and shouting at Rooney to humiliate him.

Rooney seems to have psychological preparation ahead of time, ignoring the boos and curses of the Blues fans, quietly passing the ball and running.

Today's tactics of Chelsea are very clear, that is, they are stuck in the midfield. After Manchester United's kick-off, Drogba and Torres press forward quickly, and the midfield and defender also push the battlefield to the inside and outside of the central circle.

Manchester United knocked down almost seven or eight goals in a row. At last, under the pressure of Chelsea, they passed the ball back to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper van der Sar is not the ball control goalkeeper of Neuer. When the ball is passed to him, he does not have the correct way to pass it to the defender. Even if there is, van der Sar will not pass it. He just kicks a big kick to the front court.

The ball was easily snatched by Terry and Hernandez hardly interfered with him.

The ball passed to the midfield veteran Ramirez, who split the ball and Essien quickly pushed forward to kill Manchester United's bottom line.

Facing Essien's attack, Evra stepped back, waiting for Essien's Cross or the bottom.

Essien's nickname is African buffalo, but he is strong. There are still some ball dealers. Seeing Evra's good defensive posture, he can't break through casually. Nani is still interfering on one side. He decelerates decisively. Seeing Bosingwa's high-speed insertion from behind, Essien stops the ball, Bosingwa quickly breaks through Evra from the outside and passes the ball to the penalty area .

Today, Manchester United's centre back is Ferdinand and Vidic's best partner. They are very experienced. They are looking at the Snatchers and the wingers with their spare light. Ferdinand moves quickly in front of Torres when Bosingwa passes by Evra to defend the cross.

Facts have proved that Ferdinand's experience played a crucial role. When Bosingwa passed, Ferdinand was just ahead of Torres and headed the ball.

Ferdinand's breakthrough was praised by the Red Devils fans, and commentator Andy Gray also said: "if Evans came to defend, Torres would have won the spot."

However, Andy Gray's partner, the famous Liverpool player Souness, laughs: "if Vidic comes to defend, it is estimated that Torres will score."

Andy Gray naturally knows that Vidic defends Torres for three consecutive red cards. He laughs: "goals are not necessarily, fouls are for sure."

The left side easily let the opponent get a chance to cross, which made Manchester United captain Vidic very angry. He yelled to Evra and Nani repeatedly to let them not let go of the opponent easily.

Ferdinand's breakthrough point was obtained by Gao Xiaodong.

Seeing that the opponent was fierce and Gao Xiaodong didn't stick the ball, he quickly turned around and found Valencia on the side, so that Valencia could attack the defence of Chelsea with speed.

Against Manchester United, Chelsea are still very stable. Just after the attack, Bosingwa on the right side went up, and Ashley Cole on the left side didn't press so deep. When Valencia pushed forward with the ball, Zhirkov was overtaken, but Ashley Cole quickly retreated, compressing Valencia's dribbling space.

When Ashley Cole retreats to the side of the big penalty area, Valencia has to slow down, he continues to speed up, even if Ashley Cole does not defend him, he is afraid to bring out the bottom line.

Ashley Cole has rich experience and is waiting for Valencia to slow down. As soon as Valencia's speed drops, he immediately goes up.

Valencia has two ideas for slowing down. If Ashley Cole is up, he will speed up again. If Ashley Cole is not up, he will cross 45 times to let his teammates attack the defence of Chelsea.Seeing Ashley Cole coming up, Valencia immediately took the ball to the bottom line and accelerated to overtake from the outside.

Ashley Cole was known as the world's first left back when he was at his peak. Although he is past his peak now, his experience is still there. He also judged Valencia's intention ahead of time. Before Valencia took the ball, he fell down in advance and intercepted the ball.

Valencia stopped, turned around to grab the ball again, Ashley Cole fell to the ground, holding the turf to sweep the ball back to zherkov.

Hernandez and Rooney just want to steal a shot, in the two centre backs side, zherkov no return line, can only back with the ball.

In order to prevent the opponent from stealing from behind, Zhirkov stopped the ball in the opposite direction when holding the ball.

Although this movement is more than some, if someone steals it, it may be shaken.

However, after Zhirkov stopped the ball, he wanted to turn around. Gao Xiaodong had already inserted between Zhirkov and the ball at high speed and snatched the ball.

However, Gao Xiaodong adjusted his pace to prepare for long-range shooting. When Lampard arrived from behind, he pushed Gao Xiaodong down.

Referee marenko whistled, and United fans in the stands yelled for a yellow card for Lampard, but marenko ignored it and signaled Lampard for a foul, giving united a free kick from the front left of the penalty area.

As Gao Xiaodong recently often to grab points, Nani came to Gao Xiaodong side, "Gao, this ball you penalty?"

Gao Xiaodong looked at the distance and direction and said, "I'll try."

"Good." Nani retreated to the side of the penalty area to wait for his chance.

When Gao Xiaodong was preparing for the free kick, Edward, the son of Manchester United boss, and David Gill, the manager of Manchester United, came to the scene. He went into the box, put his bag on the table, and ran to the window to watch Gao Xiaodong's free kick.

The foul goal is not too far away, but it's a bit too far away. After goalkeeper Cech blocked the near corner, Gao Xiaodong only played in the back corner. However, the requirement for the accuracy of footwork is very high, and the goal is the world wave.

Although Gao Xiaodong has all-around left and right feet, Manchester United players still think Gao Xiaodong may pass the ball. Vidic and Ferdinand both came to the forbidden area to fight for the header.

The referee's whistle sounded, Gao Xiaodong ran up slightly, and the banana ball with his left foot hung in the back corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Cech has a hunch that Gao Xiaodong will choose this angle. He flies forward to intercept the ball, but Gao Xiaodong's arc is a little big, and Cech, who is tall and has a long arm, can't touch the ball.

Although he didn't touch the ball, Cech didn't worry. He didn't touch the ball, which means the ball can't go into the goal range.

When Cech looked back, he found that the ball was flying out of the baseline against the back post unexpectedly.

However, Cech is not happy, but secretly frightened. The ball is too close to the goal post, which is far from his judgment. If Gao Xiaodong adjusts the arc again, he may score.

The blue fans in the stands also exclaimed. It didn't matter when they were free kicking. After kicking, the ball was really hanging.

Chelsea goalkeeper Cech sends the goal ball, with Drogba in the front court. Cech makes a long pass to let Warcraft compete with Manchester United's defenders.

The 33 year old Drogba is no longer at the top, but his strength is still terrible. He is stuck in the position and Ferdinand just can't hold it open. He can only watch Drogba give the ball to Lampard in the middle.

Lampard stopped the ball in his chest and went forward, ready for a long shot.

Lampard has the title of the king of refraction goals. No matter how far the distance is, Fletcher dare not let him shoot. He snatched at the first time to block Lampard's shooting angle.

Generally speaking, players will get rid of the angle of shooting when they encounter the opponent's blocking, but Lampard scored more refracted balls, so he was confident in the face of interception and started to hit the goal directly.

Fletcher put his foot in a block, the ball hit Fletcher's foot, turned back and still flew to the goal.

Veteran Edwin van der Sar is still very strong, and his reaction is still very fast. When Lampard started, he was moving to the left. Seeing the refraction, he quickly turned back to move to the right.

Fortunately, the distance is far, Fletcher's interception also relieved a little bit of strength, van der Sar dangerous and dangerous to save the ball out of the bottom line.

Chelsea got the first corner of the game.

As a strong team, such an opportunity should not be missed.

The penalty kick was left back Ashley Cole. Terry, Ivanovic, Drogba and Torres all came to the penalty area to head the ball. Essien and Lampard prepared to shoot long-range shots at the front of the penalty area. Ramirez and Zhirkov scrambled to free the ball on both sides. Chelsea surrounded Manchester United's forbidden area in an all-round way.

Ashley Cole curve ball to the penalty area, you push me in the penalty area, chaos.

Torres fell in the crowd and Drogba headed off the bar.

"Foul, foul!"

"Vidic! Vidic

"Penalty!"

There was a lot of shouting in the stands. In fact, the fans didn't see how Torres fell to the ground at that time. They just coaxed and stimulated Vidic.

Referee marenko ignored and asked Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to serve.In the opening five minutes, both sides had shots, several times to attack each other's restricted area, and also had set pieces. The pace of the game was very fast. It seemed that neither side was satisfied with the other, and they all wanted to get the first goal and master the initiative of the game.

When Cech kicks off the goal, he always uses a long pass to find Drogba, but Van der Sar can't do it. Manchester United forwards Rooney and Hernandez are less than 1.8 meters tall, and the long pass is almost equal to giving the ball to the opponent.

Edwin van der Sar passed the ball across to Evra and slowly moved forward from the back.

Chelsea are very clear about the way Manchester United play. When van der Sar serves, they start to fight. Torres, Drogba, Zhirkov and Essien are fighting for the four defenders of Manchester United to prevent them from playing comfortably.

Chelsea's steals are quick and fierce, Drogba has the cunning of African black, and Torres has the shrewdness of European white. When they steal, they don't forget to fight with their opponents physically, reasonably or unreasonably take down their opponents, which makes Manchester United lack a receiving point.

The effect of this close down by Chelsea was very good. Manchester United's three legged pass didn't pass through the midfield, and then the ball came to Evra's feet. Evra's power of passing the ball to Fletcher was too small under the close down and was quickly started by Torres.

The Spanish golden boy went straight to Vidic with the ball. After years of confrontation, Torres preferred playing Vidic to Ferdinand.

Vidic is a top centre back and a tough guy. He is not afraid of any opponents, including Drogba. However, his technical characteristics determine that he is most afraid of Torres, a forward with quick start and quick response.

In October 2009, Manchester United met Liverpool in the league. Before the game, Vidic made bold words, never let Torres humiliate himself again. Of course, there is a reason for saying this. You know, Vidic was the PFA player of the year candidate and Manchester United's player of the year candidate of the previous season, but in the two rounds of the League against Liverpool, Vidic got a red card, and it was Torres who caused Vidic's painful memories.

However, the bold words didn't work. Vidic got a red card when he met with Torres. After that, Torres became the biggest shadow of Vidic's career.

All of a sudden, seeing Torres coming with the ball, Vidic was nervous and didn't dare to go to the top. He put two steps to Torres and let him hit the goal.

Vidic's choice makes Ferguson very dissatisfied. For the top strikers, shooting in this position is no less dangerous than breaking through.

Live commentator Andy Gray also said with a smile that Vidic really has a shadow, this distance can not put Torres so far.

If you buy other defenders, it is estimated that Torres will shoot directly, but in the face of Vidic, Torres is full of confidence. He made a fake move to the left and quickly accelerated to break right.

Under normal circumstances, such a fake is useless for the defender of Vidic's level, but Vidic is still too nervous. He moves nervously to the left. When Torres breaks through to the right, he is already passive.

Fortunately, Vidic kept two steps away, and fortunately, Torres' explosive power dropped after his big injury, which made Vidic carry Torres with his body before he reached the penalty area.

Torres in Vidic's body under the impact of imbalance, a staggering head into the penalty area, the ball was goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar attack to get.

"Penalties, penalties Vidic fouled! foul! Red card! Red card

For a moment, the Stamford Bridge Stadium was shouting like a tsunami.

Ancelotti jumped up and yelled at the court: "foul! Foul

Even Abramovich in the VIP box was startled. He suddenly stood up and stared at the referee to see how marenko decided.

Under the hiss and shouts of 40000 fans, the referee marenko didn't give a card to Vidic. Instead, he waved to Torres to get up.

Stamford Bridge Stadium immediately hissed, blue fans angry loud protest.

Chelsea's players are also very dissatisfied, all around marenko's side to question his decision.

Marenko didn't change his meaning, explaining that it was normal physical contact and not enough for a foul.

Andy Gray, the commentator, joked: "marenko is merciful. It seems that marenko also has sympathy for Vidic."

Souness complained: "it's nothing to give a free kick. It's the home of Chelsea. Maybe marenko really sympathizes with Vidic."

Vidic survived, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar dare not let his teammates in the back of the ball, he opened the ball to the front court, let Rooney and Hernandez to head the ball.
