The goal was snatched by Chelsea without any suspense, and Ivanovic headed the ball to Ramirez.
Ramirez passed the ball to Lampard under the pressure of Rooney. Lampard was forced by Gao Xiaodong and had to pass the ball back to his defender Ivanovic.
Ivanovic is tall enough to serve as a centre back, but his speed is at the level of full back. Seeing that the midfield is forced and there is no receiving point, Ivanovic rushes up with the ball.
Manchester United took a point-to-point defense in midfield, Hernandez did not catch up at the first time, Ivanovic with the ball inserted for a time, no one to defend, even if to defend, there will be free space, and not much difference.
After Ivanovic pushed the ball through half-time, Manchester United's defensive players increased, and Valencia's co defense contracted, blocking Ivanovic's way.
To this position, Ivanovic did not dare to break through, he is a centre back, not a full back, mistakes were hit back is very fatal.
Seeing right back Bosingwa coming up, Ivanovic passed the ball to Bosingwa and stepped back to defend, giving the attacking area to his team mate Ramirez.
Torres and Bosingwa made a subtle two two coordination on the right. Nani and Evra made defensive mistakes. Bosingwa hit the bottom line and passed the ball across the penalty area.
Vidic played well in the defense and heading. He grabbed the front point to block the ball to the sideline, but Torres intercepted the ball from the sideline and passed it to the penalty area again.
Torres had a high curve in his cross. No one touched the ball in the middle and the ball flew directly out of the sideline on the other side.
Manchester United full back Rafael sent a free kick. Ferdinand and Drogba vied for the spot. Ferdinand's elbow hit Drogba's nose. Drogba's nose was bleeding and he lay on the ground with his face covered.
Referee marenko has no mercy on Ferdinand, he directly took out the yellow card to warn Ferdinand.
The team doctor came on to give Drogba a simple treatment. Drogba blocked his nostrils with two cotton balls and continued to play.
The fans of the blue team were deeply inspired and gave their warm applause to the veteran of the blue team.
"Didier Drogba is really good. He is 33 years old and his fighting spirit is still so strong. In fact, the blues owe him a Champions League title now," said Andy Gray, the commentator
Andy Gray's partner Souness said: "in that case, Liverpool also owe Gerrard a league title."
The game continued, with a free kick from Chelsea, a curving ball from Frank Lampard into the penalty area and the ball headed out by Rio Ferdinand. Essien snatched the landing point in the middle and volleyed directly, but the ball didn't hit the right part and flew high into the stands.
In the first 10 minutes, Chelsea had the absolute advantage. Most of the ball was in the half of Manchester United. Manchester United didn't get many chances to attack.
However, this situation can not satisfy the fans of Chelsea, because there are not many goals and there is not much threat from them. Manchester United have played several fast forward players today, and their purpose is to fight back. In order to fight with Manchester United in the middle field and get the ball right, their defense is more advanced than usual. Once they are defeated, they will be defeated Manchester United seized the opportunity to fight back and the consequences were unimaginable.
Ferguson is still satisfied with the performance of Manchester United's players in the first ten minutes. It's normal for them to fall behind. It's not an accident that Manchester United failed to win at Stamford Bridge for nine years. The performance of Chelsea on this field is far better than usual. Manchester United's strength is similar to that of Chelsea. It's very difficult for Manchester United to defeat the extraordinary Chelsea.
However, Ferguson is not very satisfied with Vidic's performance. Vidic is only 30 years old and is at the peak of the centre back. Facing Torres, who has only been overhauled for a short time and has not scored in nearly 10 games, he is really sorry for his reputation and strength.
This is the devil!
But Vidic can only overcome it himself.
Ferguson has now put all his hopes of victory on Gao Xiaodong.
Compared with the last battle at Stamford Bridge, Gao Xiaodong's shooting skill has been greatly improved. Ferguson believes that Gao Xiaodong has the ability to break through the gate of Chelsea.
Now the semi-final of the Champions League is not the league. As long as Manchester United score, then Chelsea will definitely come out, so the fast horses arranged by Ferguson can play a role.
After standing up to the attack of Chelsea for a long time, the mentality of Manchester United players gradually calmed down. Edwin van der Sar served the goal, and he was just about to kick off, but Gao Xiaodong returned to the back position and asked for the ball from Edwin van der Sar.
Van der Sar passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and Torres came quickly for it. He oppressed Gao Xiaodong.
Drogba also cut off the link between Gao Xiaodong and Fletcher, forcing Gao Xiaodong to pass the ball back to the defender.
Gao Xiaodong is trying to pass the ball back to Vidic. Suddenly, Cruyff turns around and passes Torres who wants to win over Vidic.
After turning around, Gao Xiaodong's vision is more open. He passes one foot to the retreating Rooney, and Rooney does not wait for the opponent to come up and pass back to Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Nani again. Nani tried to break through. Zhirkov caught the trap in an instant. Nani was also kicked in the heel. Fortunately, full back Evra had rich experience. When Nani tried to cross, he followed up to make up for the defence and snatched the ball again.Evra passes the ball to Gao Xiaodong again. Gao Xiaodong controls the ball and then passes it to Valencia.
Although Gao Xiaodong didn't say anything, he was the core of the midfield. After receiving the ball several times in succession, his teammates immediately understood what he meant. It was to control the ball in the middle and back court, so Valencia didn't rush forward and passed the ball back to Rafael.
With Gao Xiaodong as the center, Manchester United kept passing the ball in the middle and back court, forcing Cher to put his forces into the front court to attack, destroying United's possession of the ball and seeing if there was a chance to break the ball in the front court to counterattack.
Manchester United's goal is not to control the ball, but to change the rhythm of the game. When he saw Chelsea's massive attack in the front court, Gao Xiaodong suddenly speeded up to get rid of Frank Lampard and cut through the midline in a flash and went straight into the restricted area.
Although Gao Xiaodong is still far away from the restricted area of Chelsea, the momentum is very fierce. Ramirez, the back midfield of Chelsea, is afraid to grab. He is afraid that Gao Xiaodong will break through and face the back line directly. He begins to step back and get close to the back line to reduce Gao Xiaodong's attack space.
Essien and zherkov tacit understanding of the inward, three people on the march of Gao Xiaodong formed a encirclement.
Although Gao Xiaodong still has space to carry the ball, Ramirez is close to the defender. If he can't break through the two layers of defence of Chelsea, he will be surrounded by four or five people.
Although Gao Xiaodong is young, he is by no means a reckless man. His vision and overall outlook are much better than they seem. After he compressed the defence of Chelsea, he immediately passed it to Nani on the side and let Nani use his skills on the side.
Nani broke through Essien's defense with two fake moves in a row, but Essien's speed was very fast. Before Nani took two steps, Essien came up from behind. Nani smashed the ball back to pass Essien again, but he was stuck by Essien when he wanted to turn forward.
As soon as his body collided, Nani couldn't stand, didn't do his action in place, and was knocked out of the sideline by Essien.
Gao Xiaodong compressed the space in the middle, waiting for Nani to break through the side and weaken the defense in the middle. Then as long as Nani passes again, Gao Xiaodong will have the chance to shoot directly from a long distance. But he didn't expect that Nani was so sticky to the ball that Essien destroyed it.
Gao Xiaodong scolded Shaobing angrily and ran to the side to take Nani's out of bounds.
Nani throws the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who is not happy with it. He runs to the empty position and wants to cooperate with Gao Xiaodong. However, after Gao Xiaodong makes a chest stop position, when the ball flies to his chest, Gao Xiaodong suddenly turns around to let it pass.
Gao Xiaodong's fake action makes Essien's close defense very embarrassed. He loses his defensive position and reaches out to pull Gao Xiaodong.
Starting with the Jersey, Essien felt his palm slip, just like catching a catfish and slipping out of his hand.
Gao Xiaodong got rid of Essien and took the ball to the middle of the court.
Ramirez and Lampard ran to block the ball one after the other to prevent Gao Xiaodong from crossing the ball.
However, Valencia suddenly stopped the ball from the right side of the box, with no one to defend.
Just now, Gao Xiaodong's horizontal frenzy has attracted the defense of Chelsea to the middle and left. Valencia has almost no obstacles at the bottom. When left back Ashley Cole makes up for it, Valencia sees Gao Xiaodong obliquely insert the rib of the restricted area, and Rooney and Hernandez also outflank the restricted area. He does not hesitate to pass the ball back to Gao Xiaodong.
has adjusted the pace of running in the high and small winter, and the right foot facing the ball is a burst of fire.
The shot was decisive, sharp, fast and fierce. The ball went straight to the right side of the goal, and there was no time for the goalkeeper to save.
When Valencia passed the ball, goalkeeper Cech was ready to save, but by the time he reacted and did half of the action, the ball had already gone.
When Gao Xiaodong shot, the heart of the Chelsea fans was cold. This action was too fast and too fierce. They couldn't imagine Cech could jump. However, what excited the fans was that the goalkeeper Cech became a decoration, but Gao Xiaodong's shot failed to pass the post. The ball hit the post and bounced out.
The goal trembles! Stamford Bridge Stadium was silent for a moment, only Gao Xiaodong gave out a cry of regret.
shot the ball as sure as a gun, almost concentrating all the essence of Gao Xiaodong's shooting. After the ball left his feet, Gao Xiao felt that he had shot the shot and was shot out by the post.
After the ball flew out, commentator he HUICAI burst out a "grip grass", "what a pity! It's a beautiful shot! Into the world is a wave! Cech can hardly react! Xiao Dong is lucky today! The Stamford Bridge curse is not so easy to break
