When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, all the Manchester United fans stood up and applauded, congratulating Manchester United on their victory over rival Chelsea.
Before this game, Manchester United were only one point ahead of Chelsea. After this game, Manchester United extended their advantage to four points.
Manchester United, Chelsea and other teams can only lose three or four games in a season if they want to win the championship.
Four points is a great advantage for the highly competitive Premier League.
What surprised Manchester United fans in particular was the draw between city rivals Manchester City and Fulham.
Manchester United are now at the top of the table with a two-point lead over Manchester City.
The Manchester United players were also surprised to win.
After the game, the core captain of midfield Gao Xiaodong praised the performance of his team-mates in the game. He thought that today's Manchester United played very well and it was proud to beat opponents like Chelsea.
Gao Xiaodong also paid homage to the tenacity of Chelsea. "Today, the performance of Chelsea is also excellent. They have the chance to score more goals, but their ball is not good."
Boas and Gao Xiaodong have worked together, and their relationship is good. Gao Xiaodong affirmed and praised boas's command today. "Villas is a talented coach, and his command is still excellent today. We once encountered difficulties, but their ability to grasp the opportunity is poor today. In time, if Chelsea cooperate with each other, they will win It will be stronger. "
In the end, Gao Xiaodong stressed that boas is a good coach, give him enough time, he can make Chelsea stronger.
Rooney, who is equally outstanding today, also accepted the interview. Rooney told reporters that Chelsea are Manchester United's biggest competitors. It is very important for Manchester United to beat them, which will give them a certain advantage in the championship competition.
Rooney is very satisfied with his goal. He thinks it's a beautiful goal. It's the pride of all the strikers to be able to break Cech's guard.
Rooney is cautious about whether Manchester United can succeed in defending the title. He said that Manchester United have changed from old to new this season, and their performance may not be as stable as before. Now Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are very strong, and it will take until the middle of the season to know whether they can defend the title.
Ferguson is confident. At the press conference after the game, the manager is very proud to hope that Manchester United can defend the league and the Champions League this season and become the first winner after the reform of the Champions League.
The reporter asked Ferguson to comment on Boas and his Chelsea, but Ferguson was not polite. In front of boas, he said boas was still young and didn't realize the cruelty of the Premier League competition. It's not easy to succeed here, it needs solid work to do it, and there is only one manager for Jose.
Boas is certainly not satisfied with the result of the game, but boas can't accept Ferguson's face-to-face preaching. After finishing the game, boas didn't answer the question that Lampard was replaced, but immediately refuted Ferguson.
"It's cruel and impolite for the winners to preach to the losers. Today we didn't play well and lost, but it's just a game. It won't have much impact on the Premier League Championship. In addition, although I am young, I know how to succeed. I don't want to succeed, I just want to be villa. Boas. "
Then boas answered why Lampard was replaced in midfield, "we need goals, we need players who can make threats to the opponent's goal, so I replaced Lampard with Anelka."
"Lampard has proved with his performance that he is a top player and one of the best in the team. When you look at what he has done at Chelsea in the past, you will see that he is a respectable player. There's nothing to make a fuss about the normal turnover of the team. We have to make adjustments when necessary
Boas thinks he made a normal substitution adjustment, but Lampard doesn't think so. If he wins or draws in the end, Lampard may not say anything, but after replacing him, Chelsea still lose the game, and Lampard certainly can't bear it.
Lampard said publicly that he was replaced expressed puzzled, and expressed the hope to play more games.
"There have been some changes in the team, of course we can all understand that some things will change over time, but the team's skeleton is very important
"I've always been focused on Chelsea because it's my club and I love playing for them. I want to play 90 minutes, it can't be hidden, I think the manager knows that
"Villas (boas) is the head coach, he chooses the team, but I've been here for many years, and I've always been a part of a successful team. When I start and play the main team, I feel much better, and playing regularly can also help me find the rhythm. When I play, I feel I can contribute. When I play, I feel better
"We lost the game, especially against Manchester United. No one will be happy. I can't change anything if I stay on the field, but I hope I can be with my teammates when the team is in troubleBoas deliberately used a very arrogant way to fight back against Ferguson in the post match press conference. In fact, he hoped to cover up the contradiction caused by Lampard's replacement with a verbal battle. However, boas's plan failed because Lampard publicly expressed dissatisfaction after the game.
After the game, when the major media reported the red and blue war between Manchester United and Chelsea, they all focused on the replacement of Lampard's midfield.
Some reporters speculated that there was a contradiction between Boas and Lampard, some added fuel to the argument that Boas and Lampard had a quarrel at half-time, and some reporters thought that it was because boas had a contradiction not only with Lampard, but also with the veteran players.
Although Manchester City are doing better now, in the eyes of Manchester United, Chelsea are their main rivals.
The more chaotic Chelsea is, the better it will be for Manchester United. If Chelsea can't cause too much trouble for Manchester United in the league, then it is really possible for Manchester United to achieve their goal of defending the double crown.
Manchester United face Stoke City in the sixth round of the league.
Stoke City is a team in the middle and lower reaches of the league, ranking 13th last season.
If Manchester United go all out to win such a team, it will be no longer a word, but in the middle of the week, that is, two days later, Manchester United will play Basel in the Champions League. Manchester United must keep the main players in good physical condition. Therefore, Manchester United used a substitute team in this game.
Stoke manager Pulis has the essence of muscle warfare. All his players are tough and tenacious. Manchester United wanted to win the game with the least cost, but they fell into a hard fight and fell behind by one goal in the first half.
In the second half, Ferguson still believed in his starting line-up and held his ground until the 65th minute when he saw that he still couldn't score. Then Ferguson sent Gao Xiaodong and Rooney on the bench.
Gao Xiaodong and Wayne Rooney made a penalty after they went on the court. Gao Xiaodong made a free kick to level the score for Manchester United.
But then Manchester United, like a demon, played three posts in a row and missed the chance to shoot in front of the goal. Finally, they were tied by Stoke City away from home.
