spn October 8, 2009, Stamford Bridge, London, England.
The streets are empty of people.
This season, the two teams leading the standings will start a battle involving 6 points.
There is still more than an hour before the start of the game, and there is already a huge crowd outside Stamford Bridge in London. They are all fans of the two teams waiting to enter the stadium. Manchester United fans are very enthusiastic about this game.
, although the entire English media was optimistic about Chelsea before the game and believed that Chelsea would score at least one point or even three points at home, Manchester United fans firmly believed that their team would not let them down.
Or, to be precise, they believe that this magical boy Li Yu will bring them good results.[
Fans held various banners, most of which were related to Li Yu. One of the big "Li Yu caricatures" was particularly eye-catching. In just over a season, Li Yu completely conquered Manchester United fans. Now
The favorite number among Manchester United fans is not the traditional number 7, but the number 9 worn by Li Yu!
Two police officers stood next to their police cars, watching the crowd of fans passing by them. One of them heard a loud noise in the air and looked up into the sky. A helicopter was hovering in the air.
This is a helicopter rented by Sky TV. It is constantly hovering in the sky. Ordinary leagues will dispatch helicopters to report. It is definitely a rare scene.
Kent, Kent... "Attention, attention, Chelsea fans are coming." The intercom rang.
"Received, received."
A group of Chelsea fans were walking towards an entrance to the Stamford Bridge stadium. The location where the Chelsea club is located is actually a wealthy area in London. Many Chelsea fans are well-known local figures in London. People who usually behave in a rigid and gentlemanly manner, once wearing
When wearing Chelsea fan uniforms, their behavior becomes arrogant. This is also a good way for them to vent their pressure. One Blues fan raised three fingers at the Manchester United fans, which means that Chelsea will beat Chelsea 3-0 in this game.
Manchester United.
"Hey, hey, you Manchester bastards, this game will let you see the real giants." An elderly fan shouted loudly.
Chelsea has always been attacked by fans of other teams. Fans of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal do not recognize Chelsea's status as a giant.
Now, facing the traditional giant Manchester United, Chelsea fans hope that it will always be Manchester United in the standings, because, no matter how you say it, the giant Manchester United is the follower behind Chelsea!
The Manchester United fans only responded with a middle finger. When it comes to quarrels, how can a bunch of fans from affluent areas do better than Manchester United fans?
"Wait, Cockney!"
"Li Yu will help us teach you a lesson."
For Manchester United fans, they believe that Li Yu can educate the London guy well in the game. As one of the top shooters in football, any defense will be defeated against Manchester United's No. 9. Li Yu this season
Really an enemy!
Seeing the possibility of a conflict between fans from both sides, security personnel quickly dispatched to separate the two sides. Fans from both sides were not allowed to approach before the game. This has been the focus of prevention in various Premier League stadiums, and this was done even after the game.
Watching Chelsea fans pass their 'defense zone', a local London police officer said, "Chelsea, here we come."
The other policeman smiled and said, "Yes, Chelsea is here."
Soon after, the Manchester United team bus also arrived at Stamford Bridge, causing a burst of cheers from Manchester United fans outside the stadium.
Li Yu opened the car and made a "V" sign symbolizing victory to the fans, which triggered a burst of crazy whistles and cheers.
"Lee, teach the Chelsea people a lesson"[
"Manchester United...Manchester United"
A reporter from Sky TV gave a close-up of Li Yu. The face of this young man who had high hopes from Manchester United fans was a confident smile. This confidence seemed to spread, dispelling the uneasiness in the hearts of Manchester United fans.
On the Manchester United bus, another person who attracted much attention was Rooney.
Rooney, who had just been promoted to father, had already said before the game that he would use goals as a gift to his newly born child.
Manchester United's two main strikers are both full of desire to score goals. This is the scene that the media most wants to see. If you have fighting spirit, will such a game be good to watch?
The players from the two teams changed players in the locker room and immediately started warming up.
The fans of the two teams who had already entered the stadium started a confrontation in the stands. The Manchester United fans sang songs, while the home Chelsea fans shouted the names of the players loudly.
Even before the game started, the atmosphere in the stadium was already extremely heated. This focus battle always touched the hearts of the fans of both teams.
The Football Association of England also paid more attention to this focus battle and sent Atkinson to officiate the game.
The players are warming up, and the referee, leading the referee team, is inspecting the stadium's playing facilities, cheering on the players, and looking at the goalposts.
The battle is about to break out, and the players from both teams have returned to the locker room to make final preparations.
At this time, in China, far in the east, the live broadcast has just begun. The players have not officially entered the field, and the live game pictures have not yet appeared. The commentator in the live broadcast room can only chat for a while.
Huang Jianxiang and Su Dong were both expressing their own opinions.
"The game is very crucial, but I have to say that Manchester United does not actually have an advantage in the predictions of all parties before the game. It can be said to be at a disadvantage, but I don't think so, although all parties say that Chelsea will be undefeated at home.
But I think Manchester United will definitely get 3 points and catch up with Chelsea as they wish. The key is Rooney and Li Yu. In fact, the game is quite simple. Whoever scores more goals wins. I believe in the combination of Li Yu and Rooney!"
"Jianxiang! This is a cult of personality! Manchester United's recent games have been quite ups and downs. Once Li Yu and Li Yu are restrained by their opponents, coupled with the instability of the defense, the game will be hard to predict. My point of view is,
draw!"
"Haha, the opinions of the two of us are exactly opposite to the mainstream opinions. I concluded that Manchester United is undefeated!"
The Chinese commentator was expressing his opinion, while the on-site director was constantly using the camera to find out the key figures present in the game, letting the camera take care of them in advance, and watching the reactions of these people during gaps or when goals were scored.
In fact, the director wants to find Jenny. There is news that Li Yu's girlfriend is in London. Knowing that her boyfriend has a game, will she go there to watch the game?
After searching for a long time, I couldn't see the person I wanted to see.
However, Abramovich and his girlfriend saw it. This is not surprising at all. As the owner of Chelsea, Abramovich will definitely appear in such an important game.
Players from both teams began to enter the field, and Abramovich would applaud his players just like the home fans.
Chelsea's new head coach Carlo Ancelotti also stepped onto the court. He is very different from his two predecessors.[
The appointment of Scolari, a veteran Brazilian coach, may be due to the personal wishes of owner Abramovich. Scolari focused more on controlling the ball and the so-called "beautiful football". As we all know, Abramovich
Qi emphasized 'beautiful football', while Mourinho was too utilitarian in football, so even though he won the championship, he could not avoid the fate of leaving.
Chelsea led by Ancelotti has a very solid defense, but also lacks passion in offense. This is almost very similar to his tactical play during his time in Milan. The slight difference may be that Chelsea's personnel configuration is stronger than Milan's and the ball is strong.
The three lines of the team are guarded by generals.
Atkinson blew the whistle and the game started.
At the beginning of this game, Chelsea took advantage of their home court advantage to launch a very fierce offensive. Now Chelsea is both offensive and defensive, which is definitely a tough nut to crack. Before the game, Manchester United was fully prepared and faced the opponent's opponent immediately.
Despite the intense offensive, the Manchester United players seemed quite calm.
As soon as Chelsea's attack passed and Manchester United was about to launch an attack, Lampard made a fierce tackle on Valencia from the backcourt and threatened the opponent. Then, the Chelsea fans in the stands refused after the ball flew out of bounds.
The ball was handed back to O'Shea who was about to take a throw-in, which fully reflected the characteristic of "every ball must be fought for". Only with the help of security personnel did Manchester United "wrestle" the ball back.
The football finally reached the midfield, and Li Yu stopped the ball with his chest. He used his skills to slightly control the rhythm of the game. Manchester United was suppressed by Chelsea from the beginning, and the game continued to play at Chelsea's pace.
At this time, Manchester United must stabilize and slowly restore the situation on the field.
Ballack came up to grab the ball.
Li Yu protected the ball, allowing Barakur to take action. Just when he was about to commit a foul, Li Yu passed the ball, and the target was Valencia, who came up to receive the ball.
When the team was completely passive, Manchester United showed the calmness that a giant should have in dealing with changes, and started to deal with Chelsea in the midfield.
Ferguson placed Li Yu in the midfield for this game, allowing Li Yu to lead Manchester United's three major midfielders to jointly control the midfield situation.
As for Chelsea, the players they have lined up are also very strong. Ballack, Essien, Lampard and Deco can definitely be used to describe Chelsea's midfield line today as luxurious.
Manchester United's midfielders Anderson, Carrick, and Fletcher will definitely have a difficult time facing such a midfield duel. Fortunately, Li Yu was added today, and the little fat Rooney also came back to help occasionally, and now they are evenly matched on the field.
Both teams want to control the midfield and use the midfield as the foundation to continuously deliver firepower.
The fighting is extremely fierce, but the movements are very clean. In strong duels, such scenes often occur.
The scene was hot, but there were few fouls. This was a duel between high-level teams.
After receiving the ball, Valencia moved forward and started dribbling the ball along the wing. The Ecuadorian was quite fast. Chelsea's defensive player here was Ashley Cole, who is also fast.
players.
Valencia saw that Li Yu had crossed into the frontcourt and was about to pass the ball. At this time, Ashley Cole had already selected his defensive position extremely accurately and made a tackle to shovel the ball out of the sideline.
A counterattack by Manchester United was ended in this way.
After seeing this scene from the sidelines, Ancelotti nodded with satisfaction.
Everything was as he expected. Although Manchester United became the team with the most goals outside of Chelsea in the league, Ancelotti easily discovered a crux of Manchester United. The players who scored goals were very concentrated. It was accurate.
It is said that almost 90% of the goals are directly related to the strikers Li Yu and Rooney. The first focus of this game is to control the midfield and the dominance of the game. The second is to return to defense, no matter what method is used.
Cut off the connection between Manchester United's No. 10, No. 9 and other players.
He asked Chelsea to put pressure on Manchester United across the board from the beginning, in order to create a sense of passivity and oppression for Manchester United. In this case, the team would panic. Looking at it now, it is not easy to cause Manchester United to panic.
But it does a pretty good job of cutting off the core connections.
Another Chelsea attack. Deco finally got rid of Fletcher's defense, but he didn't dare to take another step. Fletcher's defensive experience is very experienced. Although he has been injured recently, his defensive ability is absolutely unacceptable.
Regardless, Fletcher can make up for the lost position immediately. Deco himself also knows that speed is not his advantage. As long as he is half a beat slower, Fletcher may get caught again.
After getting rid of Fletcher, Deco looked ahead and sent a through ball.
Drogba received the football, but Warcraft did not stop the ball and directly knocked the football horizontally.
Anelka appeared in people's field of vision.
Pulling the ball, turning around, and leaning on Evans who came up to defend him. Anelka knew that Evans was guarding Lampard just now, and now Evans is guarding himself, which means... Lampard,
Empty!
Anelka has been criticized for his unique withdrawn character and his two money-grubbing brothers, but he is indeed a very capable striker.
Without any hesitation, Anelka immediately passed the football.
"Lampard has no one to defend him!" Lineker jumped up.
Lampard had already nocked his bow and arrow. He faced the rolling football and volleyed directly!
This shot was powerful and fast. Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar fell to the ground to save the ball, but still failed to touch the football. Before he completely fell to the ground, the football had already passed by quickly and flew into the ball behind him.
net.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!"
The home announcer roared with excitement!
"Frank Lampard he scored!"
"A beautiful kick to the world!"
"Chelsea turned their advantage from the start into goals. They led Manchester United 1-0 at Stamford Bridge at home!"
Following Chelsea's goal, Stamford Bridge instantly erupted. Chelsea fans celebrated wildly. Many fans sang songs praising Lampard, "We have Frank. He is very good. He is super good. He has scored again."
!Manchester United, Manchester United, don’t cry!”
At this time, the camera was very interesting and immediately gave Li Yu a close-up.
Li Yu, who frowned, did not expect that Manchester United would concede the goal so quickly today. The makeshift defense was not very effective!
Brown and Evans, one has a long-term injury and the other is a young player. If Chelsea is allowed to continue playing like this, I really don’t know how many goals they will concede!
"Wayne!" Li Yu called Rooney to him, "Come back to the midfield and help us control the midfield and defense..."
Although Li Yu didn't say it clearly, Rooney also understood the meaning. The defense was not strong, which reduced Chelsea's chances of directly facing the defense.
"The two stars of Manchester United are standing together to discuss something at the moment. From this small detail, we can see a lot of problems. Li Yu is not like a young man who just joined the team now, but more like a big brother on the court, taking the initiative to convene
Teammates, try to change the situation on the court!" Lineker looked at this scene with joy. Li Yu was growing up again, and his responsibilities in the Manchester United team were also increasing.
Small details in this game may have a major impact on the future of this team.
Although it was just a feeling, Lineker believed in his intuition.
At this time, the game restarted in the stadium.
The Chelsea people didn't realize that Li Yu had rearranged their positions on the court. Even if they knew, they wouldn't take it to heart at the moment. Their morale is high. Is it normal for Manchester United to retreat!
In Chelsea's subsequent attack, Drogba's shot was scored by Van der Sar. Van der Sar hugged the ball and roared loudly. He was blaming the central defender's position for giving his opponent an opportunity to attack.
After venting his anger, Van der Sar kept pressing down with one hand to signal the defenders to stabilize. Then he threw the ball to Brown, who kicked the ball to O'Shea on the wing!
O'Shea controlled the ball, looked in front, and found that there were no players from Manchester United in the frontcourt, and Essien's press had arrived. Now O'Shea was a little shaken!
"Here!" Li Yu's voice sounded at the critical moment, and he took the initiative to step back and catch the ball.
O'Shea immediately chose to distribute the ball. Li Yu took the ball and passed it to Valencia, and started to advance forward.
It's different. Everything about Manchester United in today's game is different from before. Even Lineker couldn't tell how Manchester United's attack should unfold next when Li Yu retreated so deep.
Chinese fans are even more surprised. When did Li Yu play in the midfield? The team is lagging behind now, so he should be in the frontcourt!
After Ferguson lost the ball, he did not rush to the sidelines and yell because he was also observing Li Yu's actions. Now it seems that Li Yu has done a good job in his homework these days and has taken the initiative to stand up and assume the responsibility of connecting the team.
, this young man’s talent is so amazing!
Offense is not just about offense. The young man Li Yu seems to have little potential. Ferguson is very interested in what kind of changes he will bring to Manchester United next.
Let’s start with this game!
Ferguson sat calmly on the coaching bench, watching the game, looking forward to Li Yu's performance in the next game.
