Chelsea, who played back and forth with Manchester United in the first half hour and even had a slight advantage, certainly would not be frightened by an inexplicable goal. Instead, they launched a more powerful counterattack. Therefore, it seemed that this goal had a huge
It was like magic, and the atmosphere of the whole game suddenly changed. Especially when we returned from the second half after another 15 minutes of futile attacks, the score still did not change.
If the first half-hour of the game was still a confrontation between the coaches, captains, players and even offensive and defensive organizations of both sides, then after this goal, in the atmosphere that gradually became tense, an additional item was added to the competition between the two sides: the lower limit of morality!
Although this is the most watched game in the Premier League this round, many cameras are pointed at the 22 people in this game, which limits the most malicious fouls, but general malicious fouls and ordinary fouls are not something that the players are afraid of.
Within the scope, yellow cards were flying everywhere.
The first person to receive a yellow card was Drogba. After being brought down by Silvestre, he was dissatisfied with the referee Bol's failure to show a card. However, the referee followed suit and gave him one.
The recipient of the second yellow card was Smith, who fouled Gudjohnsen for the third time. Bol could no longer bear it.
The third yellow card was given to an excited Fletcher. He hit Terry with the ball. The linesman said it was a foul and awarded the ball to Chelsea. He kept chattering to receive one.
The fourth card was awarded to Gallas. He was troubled by the nimble young player Cristiano Ronaldo, who was already quite shameless at a young age. He was unrelenting in attack and fell to the ground when defending, so he decisively knocked him down.
The yellow cards continued and the two sides were still fighting, but as time went by, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the home team. The stands at Old Trafford began to sing. Although Manchester United's performance this season was average, they were king.
The possibility is unlikely, but for Manchester United fans, if they don't claim to be the king, it would be good to trip up the king.
Manchester United's regular and experienced back line, balanced offensive and defensive formation, and Ferguson's on-the-spot mobilization all made Chelsea's offense seem more than brave but lacking in skills. Gudjohnsen, who was originally responsible for the variable element in the frontcourt, also because of many wonderful performances
Ferguson noticed that Smith's almost personal and high-intensity defense made it difficult for the Iceland forward to perform.
Jose on the sidelines put his hands in his pockets and observed the changes in the situation with gloomy eyes. Ferguson, who was wearing glasses and was tightly wrapped in a windbreaker, had a slightly relaxed expression. The two of them sometimes looked at each other secretly on the sidelines.
At first glance, if they accidentally meet each other's eyes, they will pretend to have bad eyesight and look away.
No matter how much vicious saliva they have in their mouths, victory or defeat will ultimately speak for themselves.
Chelsea's offensive initiative in the frontcourt is losing, whether it is Lampard's two direct free kicks, multiple long-range shots, Drogba's lobs, volleys, Duff's crosses, long-range shots,
Gudjohnsen's breakthroughs, clever passes and other methods were all resolved by his opponents one by one.
What I can do next is to repeat myself in vain.
Jose clearly felt that the four frontcourt players he arranged had no choice, and their confidence in winning was wavering. Now what supports them in continuing to fight hard has become the players' professional ethics.
If the opponent doesn't make low-level mistakes and plays conscientiously for 90 minutes under the watchful eye of that hateful old man, Chelsea will be unable to recover.
All undefeated records and winning streaks will end here. Then just wait for this vicious old guy to ridicule you after the game!
Jose suddenly walked towards the fourth official: Substitution, two at the same time!
Jose is going to fight!
When Wright and Wang Ai stood up at the same time, threw off their coats, and warmed up urgently, Jose took out a small piece of paper from his pocket and hurriedly wrote a few words, asked Wright to put it in his hand, and pointed at
Captain Terry and Wright nodded frequently when he heard this. Then he called Wang Ai over and instead of pointing to the field, he suddenly turned and pointed at No. 20 with curly brown hair on the Manchester United bench.
"Wang, have you seen that No. 20? He once came on as a substitute and scored four goals in 20 minutes. This is Old Trafford, this is his home court, show him your skills!"
Wang Ai knows Solskjaer. After his first appearance against the Champions League rival Porto, the media compared him with Solskjaer. After hearing what Jose said, he looked serious on the surface, but almost laughed in his heart. Jose
He was also anxious, completely ignoring the glares from the Manchester United bench, and even fooled Solskjaer with his feats.
Ferguson glanced expressionlessly at Jose, who was dancing with no one around, and at Wright, who had caused a lot of trouble for him in the same city's rival Manchester City last season, and even at the silent Chinese! His team
There is also a Chinese player in the team, but he was loaned to Belgium and his performance was not bad, but compared to the one in front of him, Dong still needs a long time to practice.
Damn the Russians! Originally, I was optimistic about him and wanted to introduce him!
He heard from Dong that this boy who was under 18 years old was already the captain of the Chinese national team. Of course, the strength of the Chinese team did not matter, but the identity of the captain proved that he had already won the top spot with his strength in that football desert country.
From the Football Association, the head coach, the coaching staff, down to the players, and the general recognition of the fans. It is not easy for any country to settle so many forces, even a country with a high level of football. On the contrary, it is even more difficult for such a country to settle some things.
easy.
It can be seen from Dong's report that he fully acknowledges his status as captain and even somewhat admires him.
Oh my, hateful Russians!
In the 74th minute of the game, Wright and Wang Ai came on the scene at the same time, replacing Joe Cole and Del Horno respectively. This was Jose's second formation change in this game. The last substitution was 20 minutes ago.
Jose unexpectedly asked Gudjohnsen to replace Essien, one of the two defensive midfielders, thus changing the team from 451 to 442, playing a double forward. This substitution once again replaced a full-back.
, starting from playing three forwards 343!
Otherwise, we can say that Jose and Roman are connected by a thin thread. The idea is the same. The Russians have a proverb: When encountering resistance, the iron rod sweeps across; when the resistance increases, the iron rod becomes thicker. Jose's approach is:
If the offense is not effective, add a striker; if that doesn't work, add a striker!
To put it simply: add a striker! Add a striker! Add a striker!
If there were only three substitutions, he would dare to give you 11 forwards!
After Wright came on the field, he first ran to Terry and handed over a small piece of paper. Terry lowered his head to read it carefully and nodded to the sidelines. Then, Terry ran to Joe Cole's right wing, while Wang Ai directly
Running towards Drogba and Gudjohnsen!
One of the three forwards of 343, this is the role played by Wang Ai in this game, and he is also the front arrow!
