Chapter 1009

Manchester United is a very experienced team. After attacking for more than ten minutes, they saw that Chelsea kept retreating and finally retreated to the 30 meter area. They soon gave up the siege against Chelsea, contracted back, controlled the ball in the midfield and waited for them to attack.

Manchester United's practice won the praise of the commentator on the spot. "It's very mature. Manchester United has the advantage of a hemisphere. It shouldn't press Chelsea to play at all. Manchester United is not the team that Barcelona and Arsenal are good at short passing penetration. It's not good for them to press their opponents to play. It's time to make room for them. Only with space can Manchester United play wonderful cooperation 。”

If Manchester United shrinks the ball, then Chelsea can only attack. If they want to advance, they need to score two goals. It's not easy for a team like Manchester United to score two goals. They must seize all the time to score one goal in the first half and put pressure on Manchester United to make mistakes.

Chelsea's attack is very simple, that is to attack two flanks, looking for Torres and Drogba in the middle. Torres and Drogba directly attack the goal, or serve as midfield players in the back, mainly Lampard.

Although the tactics of Chelsea are simple, there are super strikers like Drogba and Torres in the front and goal scoring machines like Lampard in the midfield, so the threat of this tactic is great.

In the 20th minute of the game, Ashley Cole successfully broke through O'Shea and passed the ball across the penalty area.

Torres nodded in front of Vidic and the ball flew back.

Kalou dived into the area from the side and headed back to the front of the area.

Kalou's pass was a surprise. Manchester United and Chelsea players thought he wanted to attack from a small angle.

The ball passed behind Lampard and Gao Xiaodong, but it gave Ramirez a chance to get in the middle. Ramirez saw the goalkeeper van der Sar moving to the left, and he immediately started to shoot at the top right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar has tried his best to block the left side of the goal. When Ramirez shoots the right side of the goal again, he has no way to come back. He can only stop and watch.

Ramirez shot almost without interference, but his shot was still a little poor, the ball flew out of the bottom line close to the right post.

Manchester United escaped the disaster and there was a scream from the United fans.

On the spot commentator Andy Gray questioned Ferguson's starting right back for O'Shea. "Rafael is not well. Sir Alex wants to use O'Shea to play right back to increase the height of the back line, but Manchester United has the height, but the speed and flexibility are gone. In the face of Ashley Cole, as long as his team-mates can't coordinate in place, O'Shea has no way to go on like this "The right side of Manchester United will be burst

When Ferguson sent O'Shea to play, of course, he took this into consideration. Ferguson didn't expect O'Shea to defend Ashley Cole. It was Valencia who defended Ashley Cole.

Valencia has speed, explosive power and strength. Ashley Cole can't take advantage of Valencia at all. Just now, Ashley Cole's breakthrough took advantage of Valencia's not coming back and made a sneak attack, so Ferguson is not worried.

When Edwin van der Sar was serving the goal, Ferguson called Valencia over and asked him to put the defense in the first place and assist again under the condition of ensuring the safety of the back line. At present, what Manchester United need is not to score, but to prevent the opponent from scoring.

After Valencia's steady defence, Ashley Cole's side can't open. Chelsea can only turn the ball to Ivanovic's side, hoping to break through Evra's defence with Ivanovic's strength and speed.

But today's Rooney although plays is the vanguard's position, but he withdraws very fiercely, more looks like an attack and defense simultaneously the edge vanguard.

Rooney's strength can completely fight against Ivanovic, Kalou can't eat Evra, and Chelsea can't create any chances to break the goal.

Chelsea play on two sides. After two sides are strangled, their attack becomes headless.

As time goes by, there is no chance to score. As a result, Chelsea have no choice but to attack from the middle. Lampard and Ramirez take turns to move forward with the ball and cooperate with the striker to attack Manchester United's penalty area.

Chelsea don't really think they can break through Manchester United's defence from the most intensive middle. They want to attract Manchester United's wingers to the middle and then attack from the side.

However, Chelsea's wishful thinking failed.

Before the game, Ferguson made the most careful arrangement on how to contain the attack of Chelsea. Instead of Scholes in the back midfield position, the attacking power was slightly inferior, but Michael Carrick and Fletcher, who have stronger defensive ability, are partners in order to prevent the attack of Chelsea in the middle.

Gao Xiaodong is the first barrier of midfield defense. Michael Carrick and Fletcher form a defensive triangle behind him. Every attacking player in the middle of Chelsea will be defended man to man, including the players inserted. Let alone the penetration ability of Chelsea, it is difficult for Barcelona and Arsenal to do so.

If Chelsea can't pass the three legged ball in the middle, it will be destroyed or robbed immediately, and then Manchester United will launch a quick counterattack from the side.

In the 27th minute of the game, Lampard kept passing the ball to Drogba. Drogba returned the ball and Ramirez was robbed by Gao Xiaodong.As Gao Xiaodong is the organizer of Manchester United's Middle Road, he was surrounded by Lampard, Drogba and Ramirez when he won the ball.

Gao Xiaodong made a V-shaped pull ball, then pushed it through Lampard's crotch and passed it to Carrick.

When Carrick was in midfield, he didn't have the ability to catch the ball.

Carrick took the ball and looked forward, saw Rooney's forward run, he immediately made a long pass to the right to find Rooney.

Carrick's pass was very accurate, right behind Ivanovic.

Rooney's high-speed sprint away from Ivanovic, with the ball high-speed into the bottom line of Chelsea.

When Rooney ran to the side of the penalty area, he saw that Hernandez had been running with the speed of the middle defender of Chelsea, and Rooney was no longer at the bottom of the box, but directly crossed the penalty area to find Hernandez.

Hernandez in Rooney's pass when suddenly accelerated out of the edge of the small penalty area bent head hammer attack.

Cech was well prepared for United's attack, but pea's shot was too close for him to react and the ball flew from his side into the net.

Hernandez got up and ran to the stands with a roar, but he immediately noticed that the Manchester United fans in the stands hissed after half a cheer.

Hernandez subconsciously looked at the linesman, which found that the linesman had raised the flag to indicate that he was offside.

Hernandez is very angry. He is aiming at two centre backs. How can he be offside? He rushed to the referee, Portuguese Ben quirenka, to protest.

Hernandez is running too fast, and benquilenka is running this way. Seeing Hernandez running, benquilenka wants to avoid pea, but he slips to the ground.

After getting up from the ground, benquerenka was a little annoyed. Seeing that Hernandez was offside to BB, he took out a yellow card to warn Hernandez.

Ferguson on the sidelines was very angry when he saw this scene. He saw clearly that Hernandez was not offside just now. A good goal was misjudged and a yellow card was taken. Manchester United were really at a loss.

Ferguson then protested to the fourth official, but the fourth official patted Sir Alex on the shoulder and said, "come on, it's inevitable. Manchester United have a great advantage. Let's continue to watch the game."

Ferguson has no choice but to show his hand and smile bitterly.
