Losing the ball is the most irritating thing when you have the advantage of the field.
After the kick-off again, the mood of the Chelsea players was obviously impatient. They wanted to break Manchester United's goal immediately.
If it is the original cunning Manchester United team, it is estimated that it will shrink to fight back against Chelsea.
But now this Manchester United is very young, energetic, in front of tens of thousands of home fans, let alone the scene, even in the momentum is not willing to fall behind.
Chelsea attack, Manchester United attack, the game began less than 10 minutes, the two sides fight in midfield.
In the 11th minute, Bosingwa and Mata from the right side of Chelsea won a corner from the side.
Marta came to the corner flag to take the corner kick.
Manchester United's players are all focused on defending Chelsea's snatch in the penalty area. Unexpectedly, Mata made a small move on the corner. He played a tactic with Bosingwa. Mata passed the ball to Bosingwa. When Bosingwa passed it to Mata again, Manchester United's defensive formation was in a mess.
Marta saw Torres run outside the penalty area, in an open position, and he immediately passed the ball to Torres.
Torres headed back to the penalty area from a distance to take advantage of the chaos in the area.
This is a corner tactics designed by boas for Chelsea. Manchester United players were not prepared enough and were caught off guard by Mata.
However, Manchester United such a strong team, even if the lack of preparation, there are also players can come forward to defuse the danger.
Goalkeeper de GEA, who had been questioned before, judged Torres's intention ahead of time. He made a bold attack and flew the ball out of the penalty area.
The players of Chelsea are very active in the fight for the second place. Ivanovic snatched the ball. He wanted to pass it to big brother Lampard, but the players of Manchester United keep a close watch on Lampard, so Ivanovic had to swing it by himself.
Ivanovic's foot didn't hold down and the ball flew straight into the stands.
Although the attack of Chelsea did not cause too much threat, it succeeded in breaking through Manchester United's defence.
It gave the players a lot of confidence and then they launched a higher quality attack.
Sturridge, who had performed well before, launched an attack from the right side. United's left side defense was very difficult. Nani had to use foul tactics to contain Sturridge's attack.
In the 15th minute of the game, Sturridge quickly sent a free kick to Marta, who broke through the middle with the ball. Anderson and Fletcher failed to stop Marta.
After Mata broke through, the Manchester United centre back had to come up to intercept him.
Marta didn't have a dribble. He saw Evans come out and immediately crossed to Torres.
Torres carried Smalling's defense into the penalty area to shoot.
Smalling extended his foot to intercept. Although he couldn't touch it, he interfered with Torres and the ball flew out of the baseline.
When Manchester United kicked off the goal, seeing that Chelsea were so aggressive, Manchester United wanted to beat down their opponents.
De GEA passed the ball to Evra, and Evra, Evans, Gao Xiaodong, Fletcher and others fell several feet in a row under the pressure of the Chelsea players without making mistakes.
When the ball reached Anderson's feet, Anderson began to think about Ramirez, but when he saw that Ramirez was too fast, I was afraid of making a mistake. Anderson wanted to pass the ball again.
This hesitation, Anderson pass a mistake, the ball was back to the defense of the Chelsea striker Torres off.
Even if the back line is complete, it is very dangerous to be intercepted by the opponent in his own 30 meter area.
In a hurry, it's hard for the defender to stop the opponent's attack.
However, Torres didn't cooperate with his teammates after breaking the ball. He was eager to score. After breaking the ball, he pulled the ball and turned around and immediately started to shoot from a long distance.
Although Torres is not known for his long-range shot, goalkeeper de GEA is not careless. He throws the ball to the sideline with both hands.
The Chelsea winger grabbed the ball and then went into the penalty area.
Ramirez put in at high speed and headed near the penalty spot.
Ramirez had a great steal, but the header was terrible. He put the ball directly into de GEA's arms.
The ball bounced out, and de GEA went on to press it under him.
After the top of the ball, Ramirez looked annoyed. As long as the angle of the ball is a little bit off, he will definitely score. He even hit the goalkeeper, which really made all the Chelsea fans speechless.
Chelsea have the upper hand on the scene, offensive, Lampard's defense reduced a lot, the blue army's magic lamp also began to show Manchester United's young people his long-range shot.
In the 18th minute, Sturridge's breakthrough on the right side of the penalty area was blocked, and he immediately passed the ball to the middle. Lampard stopped the ball and shot from 30 yards away.
Lampard's long-range shot was hard and accurate and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Seeing the ferocious ball coming, Evans didn't dare to let it pass. He didn't trust goalkeeper de GEA enough. Evans decisively extended his foot to block, and the ball hit Evans's leg, reflecting the left baseline.When Marta sent the corner again, Manchester United players did not dare to neglect and were ready to defend Chelsea's tactical corner.
Mata is not dead. Last time he played a corner, this time he changed the corner tactics and went straight to the penalty area.
There are a lot of players who can fight for the header at Chelsea. Manchester United players are under a lot of pressure. In addition to leaving Hernandez and Gao Xiaodong to fight back, others have come back to participate in the defense.
Even so, the ball was headed by Chelsea defender Ivanovic.
Manchester United's defense put a lot of pressure on the attacking players of Chelsea in the penalty area. Although Ivanovic got the landing point, he still couldn't hold the right part and the ball flew out against the crossbar.
Under the aggressive attack of Chelsea, although Manchester United fell into the disadvantage, they did not show weakness. They also constantly threatened the restricted area of Chelsea.
In the 20th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong connected with Nani in a wide range, Gao Xiaodong received the ball and cut inward. Under the encirclement of the opponent, Gao Xiaodong skillfully picked and passed the forbidden area, and found Hernandez who was flexible.
If Hernandez volleys directly, there is no way for the Chelsea defender to interfere.
However, this position volley is very difficult, Hernandez wants to stop the ball and then hit the door.
With such a small space in the penalty area, there is no time for Hernandez to stop the ball and play again. As soon as Hernandez's ball is unloaded, the Chelsea defenders arrive, and it's two people.
In the two defensive players under the packet clip, the ball is not stable Hernandez has no time to shoot.
Hernandez couldn't pass the ball. He wanted to smash the ball past the defender and then shoot. But the Chelsea defender didn't give Hernandez the chance. Terry rushed over and grabbed the ball.
Hernandez fought back and kicked the ball out of the baseline.
In the case of similar strength, the side with stronger attack desire will play better.
In the 26th minute, Chelsea created a great opportunity again.
Mata straight pass, Torres pulled to the left side of the penalty area to pass, no one defends Ramirez high-speed plug, facing most of the empty goal of a single shot.
Goalkeeper de GEA once again showed great skill, he came back to save and blocked the ball out of the baseline.
Old Trafford applauded, while former Manchester United goalkeeper Schumacher and his son were smiling in the stands to send applause to de gea.
