Chapter 1011

At half-time, Ferguson didn't make too many adjustments to the lineup and playing style. He just corrected some details of the players in the first half and asked them to attack first at the beginning of the second half to see if they could attack one. If Chelsea are ready, they will continue to defend and fight back.

Ancelotti also did not change his lineup and playing style. In the first half, although he did not achieve his goal and scored a goal, the attack in the second half was still very threatening. It was very close to the goal. Ancelotti thought that it was not his tactical problem that did not score, but his bad luck.

After the start of the second half, Chelsea wanted to take advantage of the momentum of the first half to continue to attack, but did not expect Manchester United, contrary to the conservative situation in the first half, suddenly launched a full court press.

Chelsea is not a team with delicate skills. They are also the owners of hard bridge and hard horse. Manchester United's sudden close down caught them off guard and made a mistake immediately. Alex passed the ball directly to Carrick under the close down of Rooney.

This is very dangerous. Among the midfielders of Chelsea, only Gao Xiaodong and Carrick have the ability and vision to pass the ball. It's easy to create a direct threat if they get the ball. If other players want to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong to organize.

Carrick's vision is very wide, he received the ball to see the position of Hernandez, immediately a straight pass to find Hernandez.

Hernandez's position is between Terry and full back Ivanovic. When he catches the ball, Terry and Ivanovic quickly approach him to stop Hernandez from entering the penalty area.

However, Hernandez has always been known for his quickness and flexibility. Before Terry and Ivanovic got close to him, Hernandez led the ball into the penalty area and directly faced goalkeeper Cech.

It's a single shot, the best chance except for an empty goal, even better than a penalty.

Hernandez is very excited, very excited. He knows that it's time to be a hero. As long as he scores this goal, it will block the way for Chelsea to advance and send Manchester United to the final.

Excited, Hernandez even forgot to fake action, he took a look at the goal, arch a push, the ball shot to the lower right corner of the goal.

Hernandez shot decisively, but Cech is a very experienced goalkeeper. When Hernandez subconsciously aimed at the goal, he judged his shooting intention. When Hernandez shot, he stretched out his foot to block the ball out of the bottom line.

Manchester United fans are looking forward to the scene, to see the ball was saved by Cech, are very sorry to sigh.

When Hernandez saw the ball rolling out of the baseline, he just woke up. He patted his head in chagrin and hated that he had wasted the best opportunity. If he made a fake move or swung past Cech, he would have scored the goal.

"I missed the chance to be a hero!" Hernandez is heartbroken. Now he admires Gao Xiaodong even more. He is one year older than himself. He is still a midfield player, but he is really calm when shooting.

Hernandez's single goal does not enter, actually also has won a corner kick opportunity for Manchester United.

Manchester United have to fight back today, and they also pay great attention to the corner kick.

Manchester United have no advantage over Chelsea in the high-altitude ball, so when designing the corner tactics before the game, in addition to the direct pass, they also designed the long-range shooting tactics outside the restricted area for Gao Xiaodong.

Of course, the tactical design is more complicated, because Gao Xiaodong's current fame and status, he will be watched wherever he stands. If he wants to create shooting opportunities for Gao Xiaodong, he must create an illusion and can't pass it directly to Gao Xiaodong.

It's Michael Carrick who takes the corner kick. In Manchester United's starting line-up, Carrick's footwork is very reliable.

Gao Xiaodong stood in front of the top of the arc in the restricted area, it seems that he is ready to take the team mate's header and rub it.

Essien doesn't think it's the power of the African buffalo, except for the speed of the African buffalo.

Ancelotti is also a wise man. In the Chelsea team, the only one who can compete with Gao Xiaodong in physical fitness is Essien. But what Ancelotti doesn't know is that although Essien's physical fitness is better than Gao Xiaodong, he is not as cunning as Gao Xiaodong.

Before Carrick's run-up to the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly ran to the corner of the forbidden area near Carrick.

Essien thinks that Gao Xiaodong wants to cooperate with Carrick. He catches up and stops Gao Xiaodong's next move.

However, Gao Xiaodong just ran two steps, suddenly stopped, pushed Essien's back, and then this force quickly ran in the opposite direction to the corner of the forbidden area on the other side.

Essien is trying to catch up with Gao Xiaodong. He is pushed to the sideline by Gao Xiaodong. When he stops and turns around, he is several meters away from Gao Xiaodong.

Carrick's pass is to find the point at the far end of the big penalty area, because he has practiced many times before the game and cooperated very well. There is no mistake. Gao Xiaodong arrived and the ball just came.

It's very difficult for ordinary players to hit the ball directly from Carrick, but Gao Xiaodong has the secondary volley skill, so it's not difficult for him to deal with such a ball.The ball came quickly, Gao Xiaodong stepped back a little, adjusted his pace and swept the ball.

The ball came fast, flew back faster, straight as lightning, over the crowd in the penalty area, straight to the top left of the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong was shooting, some of the players blocked the ball, but they couldn't touch the ball when they jumped up.

Cech didn't pay attention to Gao Xiaodong at the beginning. After all, the threat outside the penalty area can't be greater than that inside the area.

But when he saw that the ball was not flying to the penalty area, Cech immediately realized that the ultimate goal of United's corner tactics was to find Gao Xiaodong.

Although Cech has psychological preparation, Gao Xiaodong's violent shot is not defensible.

When the ball left Gao Xiaodong's feet, Cech judged the direction of the shot with his rich experience. He made a jump, then jumped up sideways and clenched his fist to hit the ball.

The speed of the ball was too fast and the strength was too strong. Cech worried that his palm could not stop him, so he used his fist. But when he jumped up, he saw that the ball was a little far away from him, so his fist might not be able to touch him. Cech immediately straightened his finger and poked the ball.

Cech's experience and reaction are absolutely top-notch. He can only touch the ball after straightening his palms. Gao Xiaodong's shooting power is really great. Cech touches the ball, and his finger is as painful as breaking. Fortunately, after the ball is touched by Cech, it hits the post and bounces out.

However, Cech saved Gao Xiaodong's shot and paid a great price. His middle finger was swollen by the ball and couldn't be straightened.

This is the most crucial moment of the game. Without such an experienced goalkeeper as Cech, there would be no chance for Chelsea. Therefore, Cech did not leave the game. After he closed the game, he continued to stand in front of the goal to guard the last line of defence.
