After the start of the second half, Chelsea discovered Manchester United's personnel adjustments. Berbatov replaced Giggs, who was omnipresent in the first half, and appeared at the center position, while Rooney retreated to the midfielder and acted as the frontcourt commander.
It is obvious that Sir Alex Ferguson will have to fight Chelsea in the second half, otherwise he will not replace Berbatov, a pure center forward.
Because of the incident in the locker room, Chelsea naturally did not make personnel adjustments, and the main lineup was still used to fight.
Since Chelsea had no tactical guidance, they continued to use possession of the ball to press their opponents as they had done in the first half. However, they encountered Manchester United's tenacious fight and implemented a full-court press from the front. Chelsea was caught off guard and continued to play.
The ball was intercepted twice and the counterattack was made. Although no goal was scored, it was still embarrassing.
After Chelsea appropriately contracted, Manchester United also gradually attacked, and the two teams began a fierce offensive battle. For a time, the rhythm on the court was extremely fast, and the two sides played a wonderful attack.
However, in the midfield, Manchester United still has a certain gap with Chelsea. In order to block the pressing attack, both Carrick and Anderson paid the price of yellow cards. However, this cannot last long. If the two get yellow cards again,
Then there is definitely no hope for Manchester United in this game.
Faced with this situation, Sir Alex Ferguson immediately made personnel adjustments. Hargreaves replaced Anderson, and Park Ji-sung retreated into the midfield. The two of them protected Carrick and used their numerical advantage to fight against the Blues.
This adjustment is indeed very effective. At least the fierce defense of the South Korean international made Deco a little bit overwhelmed. However, Essien would not see his teammates suffering such a loss, so he immediately retaliated and knocked down Park Ji-sung with a fierce tackle. Although he got
A yellow card, but it suppressed the opponent's arrogance.
When the game reached 70 minutes, the situation gradually developed in a direction favorable to Chelsea, and physical factors became an important factor restricting Manchester United's performance.
Chelsea won the league championship three rounds in advance, and they had 20 days in between to reserve physical fitness and adjust their condition. But the same cannot be said for Manchester United. If they give up the last three rounds, then whether they can get a place in the Champions League is a question.
Coupled with the FA Cup and other competitions, the physical condition of the entire Manchester United team is not particularly ideal. When compared with Chelsea, the disadvantage is immediately highlighted.
Although there are physically strong players in the Manchester United team, such as the South Korean international who is known as San Lung Park, they are not the ones who can influence the form of the game. Sir Alex also saw the situation, but he had no choice. He wanted to advance in advance at the moment.
Manchester United won the championship in three rounds. Then they have enough time to recover.
Chelsea's offensive opportunity, Prince received a pass from Deco. He immediately launched an offensive from the wing, attracting two players from Manchester United to defend. However, Prince used his excellent skills to cut in from the wing.
, there are still a few steps to enter the restricted area.
However, the obstacle in front of him was Ferdinand. The prince was not sure enough to break through while the defenders were looking around, so he immediately passed it to Lampard next to him, and then quickly inserted into the penalty area.
Lampard understood the situation and received the pass directly into the penalty area, sending the ball right into the running route of the prince.
The prince did not wait for his opponent. He kicked directly to hit the goal. However, the moment he took the kick, the prince felt that the situation was not good and did not kick the right part.
Sure enough, the football flew lightly into Van der Sar's arms.
The prince kicked the turf under his feet hard, looking very annoyed, and then quickly gave Lampard a thumbs up. The tacit cooperation between the two also made the Blues fans at the scene burst into cheers.
The midfield was unfavorable. Ronaldo and others in front of Manchester United didn't have many opportunities. In addition, Ronaldo didn't seem to be in good condition today, so the threat to the Blues' goal was small to a certain extent.
The prince looked at the huge timer on the sidelines and saw the clear reality that the normal game would end in less than 20 minutes. The final champion would be decided in less than 20 minutes, and he felt uncontrollably excited.
After thinking about it, it seems that I still have a sure-fire goal. When I faced Barcelona, I originally planned to use all the five remaining opportunities, but in the end I got a free kick opportunity, so I only had one chance left.
Isn’t it meant to be used here?
Look, if you really can't score in the end, you can use skills at any time. This is the prince's decision.
Thinking of this, the prince came back to his senses and found Park Ji-sung holding the ball in front of him and looking around, feeling a little unsure of how to play the ball.
Good opportunity!
"The fearful tackle"
The prince secretly shouted, and used a standard sliding shovel to scoop the ball away from the foot of the Korean stick. At the same time, he also brought down the stick that he didn't like. It was not a foul anyway.
Immediately afterwards, the prince stood up quickly, dribbling the ball towards the Manchester United half-court. The speed of the start made Hargreaves, who was still close to him, desperate to catch up.
Amidst the cheers of the fans, the prince used his speed to the extreme. He did not even need complicated movements when running and was able to pass Manchester United players such as Carrick, Evra, Vidic, etc. just by pressing the button.
In the art of the perfect combination of the prince's speed and technology, he was continuously thrown away, and until he was in front of Ferdinand, the prince finally slowed down and successfully returned to the earth.
Ferdinand saw the prince slowing down and thought that the prince was afraid of his defense. He was secretly proud of himself and could not help but be a little careless. He directly tackled the prince in front of him. He hoped to directly cut off the ball from the prince's feet and then launch a fast break. If he could score
ball, then his contribution is infinite. Everyone will know that the best player in the Champions League final is him.
Just when Ferdinand fell into fantasy, the prince's speed suddenly dropped sharply. A light ball passed by and he dodged Ferdinand's upper grab. After winning the ball, he was already facing the gate guarded by Van der Sar.
At this time, everyone's hearts were in their throats. There were only ten minutes left before the end of the game. If the prince scored at this time, then Manchester United would be really passive. Only scoring a goal in this last time would help.
It's very difficult for the game to go into overtime.
At this time, the prince had forgotten everything. He only had the football in front of him and the goal not far away in his mind. As for the Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, who stood between the two, he directly ignored it.
Without any suspense, the prince surpassed Van der Sar and directly brought the football into the gate of Manchester United in front of the eyes of the world. At that moment, it seemed that time had stopped.
After the goal, the prince recovered from his ethereal state, clenched his fists and ran to the stands where the Chelsea fans were. He passionately performed five consecutive backflips, causing the fans to cheer and scream, which lasted for several minutes.
Teammates gathered around. The timing of this goal was really good. If Chelsea can defend well in the end, the Blues will finally defeat Manchester United with this score and reach the top of Europe for the first time in history.
At this time, both the fans and the players were so excited that they could not control it. It was not until the referee came to intervene that the early celebrations were stopped.
The morale of the Manchester United team has dropped to the extreme, and there is not much time left. Although there is still no hope at all, it is obvious that the chance is slim. Even Ferguson has a dark face and is chewing gum in his mouth.
After the restart, Manchester United completely gave up defense under Ferguson's instructions and launched the most violent attack on the Blues. At this time, defense was meaningless. In a game that determines the outcome, the winner and the loser are the same.
Losing, losing two is also a loss. If you can really get it back, long live it.
Moreover, Ferguson immediately made personnel adjustments. The Argentine beast Carlos Tevez, who had been on the bench for this game, came on the field. At this time, the high-impact tank combination formed by him and Rooney will definitely exert great power.
With the addition of World Footballer Ronaldo, Manchester United is not completely without a chance. If any one of them has a flash of inspiration, there will be no problem in overtime.
If Scolari continues to choose to attack at this time, then he will really be a fool. Putting aside what happened in the locker room, the Brazilian quickly came to the sidelines and waved vigorously towards the backcourt. The meaning could not be more obvious. Blues
We need to defend. As long as we hold on to the last ten minutes, we will get the championship trophy.
The Blues players were instructed to return to the half court except Prince to participate in defense. Only Prince was left wandering in front looking for opportunities. As for his defense, although it is now around 50, it is still not worth relying on.
In the 82nd minute, Rooney dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and his final shot was interfered by Terry. Terry knew his national team teammates very well and had already taken strict precautions.
In the 83rd minute, Tevez passed the ball from the left side of the penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo did not pass it to Rooney who was in a better position inside the penalty area in the middle penalty area, and finally hit the ball.
Cristiano Ronaldo shook his arm, looking very impatient and annoyed, while Rooney, who had not received the pass, looked very ugly and was on the verge of exploding.
In the 85th minute, Tevez faked a shot, deflected the blocking Carvalho, and hit the goal directly. However, Van der Sar made a contribution at this time and was able to block the ball when it was about to fly into the goal.
Although the opponent was given a corner kick, it greatly boosted Chelsea's defensive momentum.
In the 86th minute, Manchester United took a corner kick. Berbatov and Didier Drogba were completely defeated in the fight for the header. Not only did they fail to grab the point, but they also fell in such an embarrassing state that people couldn't help but complain.
During this period, Manchester United seemed to be attacking like crazy, which once overwhelmed Chelsea and almost evened the score.
At the last moment, Chelsea fought back.
Drogba gave the header to Deco. The Portuguese midfielder did not look at the situation on the field and hit the frontcourt with a big kick, allowing the prince to play freely. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome
