The last interlude in the spn locker room added a touch of relaxed atmosphere before the war started.
Afterwards, the players from both sides returned to the playing field and immediately started the second half of the game.
Ancelotti chose Manchester United's right wing as a breakthrough point. Chelsea's left wing Ashley Cole has a strong assist ability. Anelka is also active on that side, and Deco can also come to help.
The attack power is very strong.
Chelsea stepped up their attack on the left, and Ashley Colby was more active in the first half, constantly rushing forward to assist. After one attack, he didn't even go back, and just waited in the frontcourt for a chance to attack again.
Anelka kept cutting from the wing to the center, trying to attack Manchester United's defense and put pressure on Brown, Evans and others.[
Just a few minutes later, Ancelotti keenly discovered that Manchester United had no intention of attacking Chelsea, and with a wave of his hand, he once again conveyed to the team the tactical adjustment of increasing the intensity of the attack.
Since Manchester United is so conservative, Chelsea can attack more brazenly.
Is the situation on the field really what Ancelotti judged?
Manchester United seemed very cautious after the start and did not rush to counterattack. This is called waiting for opportunities!
Chelsea's offense is very strong.
"Lampard - he received Deco's pass - shot from distance - Van der Sar knocked the ball out - Anelka shot high again!"
"Deco's pass - Ballack's header was too straight and Van der Sar held him!"
"Barack's shot from Van der Sar... a great save!"
"Drogba's header was caught by Van der Sar. His performance today was amazing. However, if Manchester United remains so passive, it will be a matter of time before the ball is conceded!"
The commentator was still talking passionately about Chelsea's continuous attacks. The next second, it was discovered that Manchester United's waiting counterattack finally appeared.
Valencia lowered its center of gravity and made a feint, making Ashley Cole think he was going to cut to the center. When he made the move, Valencia swayed his foot, moved the football to the wing, and then passed the ball from Ashley Cole.
The other side of Lee Cole speeds past!!
The offense was going so smoothly that Ashley Cole seemed to have forgotten how to defend.
"The ball passed!"
"Take up the position! Don't let him pass the ball! Watch the man!" Cech stood in front of the goal, directing the defenders to step forward to intercept, and at the same time be careful about Rooney in the penalty area.
Carvalho rushed to intercept, but Valencia passed the football before he could pounce on him. It was Li Yu who sprinted over to catch the ball.
Barak immediately followed Li Yu's footsteps.
Li Yu caught the ball with his left foot and quickly knocked the football. The football rolled towards the penalty area. He then turned around and ran into the penalty area.
Ballack's turn was relatively slow. When he caught up, he was blocked by Li Yu. This made the German dare not make any moves easily. He could only follow Li Yu closely behind him, looking for moves to steal the ball.
Li Yu's abnormal body looked suspicious at this moment. Ballack followed closely behind him. Next to him, Lampard, who was returning to defense, also came up to intercept. However, the football firmly controlled Li Yu's feet. Ballack and Lampard
Germany had no choice but to block the space and angle for his passing and shooting.[
In the defense of two of the world's top players, Li Yu can still protect the ball steadily. Li Yu's ability to protect the ball is shocking.
When he kept moving forward, Li Yu observed the situation in the penalty area, Terry followed Rooney, and Carvalho was also running back to the penalty area. He was guarding Valencia and Carrick was outside the penalty area.
Li Yu leaned on Lampard behind him and pretended to turn around. Ballack immediately came up to intercept. At the same time, Li Yu's feet were quick, and before Terry could poke the ball, he quickly poked the ball with his toes and pushed the football towards the goal.
A red shadow flashed, and then everyone saw the football running up and being slapped out of the baseline by Cech.
Rooney suddenly stepped forward and shot before Terry could clear the ball. Cech reacted very quickly and made a wonderful save.
"Li Yu's pass was very concealed. Rooney stepped in and shot! It was very sudden! However, Cech was in equally good condition today. He saved the football! Manchester United's corner kick!"
"Watch your people! Don't let it happen again." Cech shouted at the defenders, and then he picked up the towel hanging on the net and wiped his gloves in displeasure. The goalkeeper must always keep his gloves dry.
Otherwise it would be easy to get rid of it.
A corner kick was taken. Valencia's corner kick was dropped into the penalty area. Carrick and Carvalho jumped up to top the ball at the same time. The football hit Carvalho's shoulder and left the penalty area. Carrick raised his hand to signal Carvalho.
Handball, but referee Atkinson ignored it and the game continued.
Ivanovic failed to kick the football far when he made a clearance. Fletcher jumped up and tipped the football to Valencia. After the Ecuadorian stopped the ball with his chest, he took it forward some distance and made a pass.
In the penalty area, Ashley Cole got up to fight for the top, but he failed to hit the football. The football accidentally hit him on the back of the head and lifted up. This caught Li Yu who was about to grab the point and Terry who was guarding him.
.
In front of the football goal, Carrick volleyed and shot. Such a close volley was almost certain to go in. The Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge were already holding their heads and did not dare to watch anymore.
However, Cech's reaction was faster than lightning!
The ball has arrived!
Arrived!
What happened almost instantly, the ball was knocked out of the penalty area by Cech with one palm! The Chelsea people escaped!
"Ah! God! Michael (Carrick)'s shot was perfect! But Cech's performance simply made the Manchester United people despair! The goalkeepers of both teams were saving their teams today, and the score in the second half remained unchanged.
,1:2, Manchester United is still in the lead!"
"Strike!" Li Yu kicked the billboard on the sidelines. He thought Carrick's shot must have been taken. Unexpectedly, Cech was able to save such a shot.
If Manchester United scores a counterattack goal and the score becomes 1:3, then Chelsea will really be doomed. They finally seized the opportunity, but unfortunately they didn’t score. It’s really worrying. Next, they have to face Chelsea’s attack.
The last thing a player like Li Yu wants to see is his team being besieged.
"Where's our offense?!!" Terry clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly, obviously dissatisfied with the team's sudden complete passivity during this period.
In the 63rd minute, Deco was replaced by Joe Cole, who celebrates his 28th birthday today. This game was also Joe Cole's 250th appearance for the Blues.
Two minutes later, Rooney connected with Valencia on the right and fired a low shot from the edge of the penalty area that missed the far post. Manchester United's counterattack prevented Chelsea from attacking like they did at the beginning of the second half.
Ancelotti is now fighting with his back against the wall. There is no way out at all. Even a draw cannot satisfy the boss Abramovich in the stands. What's more, Chelsea is still the lagging side and cannot be conservative anymore! [
Attack, Ancelotti was already standing on the sidelines, constantly urging the players to attack, Chelsea began to play hard!
Anelka deflected Evra's head-on defense and shot a cold shot from outside the penalty area, but Van der Sar pinned him down. Immediately, Fletcher midfielder gave a precise ball from behind, and Li Yu even stepped in and volleyed the shot from the edge of the penalty area.
It's a pity that it's too high.
With desperate attacks and efficient counterattacks, the rhythm is getting faster and faster. If you are a neutral fan watching this game without any personal color, you will definitely be hooked. The offense and defense displayed by the players of the two teams are absolutely outstanding.
It’s the world’s top level!
You come and go, it's so lively, the fans of the two teams also make various sounds from time to time, sometimes sighing, sometimes cheering, sometimes applauding the players' good performance, but Li Yu is still greeted by the huge Chelsea home fans.
boos, now mixed with a lot of abuse.
Li Yu was very unhappy, so he just booed. It was no big deal, but the fans were abusive, especially just now. It could be clearly heard in the stadium that they called him a son of a bitch!
No harm to his parents, wife and children. What he just said was beyond what Li Yu could tolerate. His anger was almost uncontrollable. He urgently needed a chance to shut them all up.
What made Li Yu even more angry was that Chelsea equalized the score at this time.
Joe Cole received Ballack's pass, and after a collision with Lampard beside him, he passed a very penetrating through ball.
After Drogba received the football in front of the penalty area, he suddenly cut inside. Facing Brown who was pressing to defend, Drogba did not hesitate and took a long shot directly from the penalty area line!
The powerful long-range shot of the African monster was finally saved by Van der Sar, and Chelsea won a corner kick.
Chelsea's corner kick was not taken directly. It was a tactical corner kick. Joe Cole passed the football to Ballack who came up to meet him. Ballack passed it to Essien behind him. Essien then immediately hit the center and received the ball.
Afterwards, Lampard adjusted his footing and took a long shot from about thirty meters away from the goal.
The shot was slightly over the crossbar, which startled Van der Sar. He shouted loudly towards the team's defense. He was very dissatisfied that no teammate came to block Lampard's long shot.
.
"It's Lampard's long-range shot, of good quality! His long-range shot is of a very high standard. Manchester United's defense should pay more attention to the opponent's long-range shot in front of the penalty area." Lineker said, professional is professional, Chelsea can't open it up
Under the situation, start trying various long-range shots.
After Joe Cole came on the field, Chelsea's attack picked up again. This time it was him who led Chelsea's attack. After he got away from Valencia, he split the ball wide.
Ashley Cole stepped in at high speed, took two steps forward, and knocked the football back to the center. Ballack used his foot to lift the ball along the route of the football, but did not stop the ball. The football continued to roll to the wing.
There, Drogba stepped in very quickly and moved the ball forward, which allowed him to avoid Anderson's tackle.
Then, Drogba immediately cut inside, changed direction and broke through Carrick. At the top of the penalty area, he raised his foot and fired an angry shot!
This time, Van der Sar once again made a beautiful save. He knocked the ball out of the baseline and gave Chelsea a corner kick opportunity.
Lampard's corner kick flew into the penalty area. Ballack jumped up but failed to hit the football. This caused chaos in Manchester United's penalty area. In the chaos, Drogba was among the people and stretched out his kick.
An unconventional sweep, the football was in front of and behind the goal, but it still rolled into the goal!
2:2!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Chelsea equalized the score!
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!" The announcer at Stamford Bridge burst out with unprecedented passion, "He scored! Great goal! He saved our team! 2:2! We equalized the score! The game restarted, Chelsea
There is still a chance to win the game!”
At this time, the camera was focused on the sidelines. People saw Irving, who had gotten up three times to warm up after the start of the second half, standing on the sidelines. He was about to play.
Li Yu looked at Owen on the sidelines and felt a sudden thought in his heart. Do you want to replace him? Could it be that his excitement made Ferguson aware of it?
Fortunately, he saw the number on the sign and it was Anderson who was to be replaced.
After Ferguson conceded the goal, he used a substitution to convey a clear message to the Manchester United players on the field. What the old man wants is not a draw, but a victory. Give me the rest of the time to attack!
Li Yuzhen is very grateful to Ferguson, and is very happy to be in Ferguson's Manchester United team. Manchester United has the courage and exception to win at all costs. This is exactly the overall temperament and offense that Ferguson gave to Manchester United. Isn't it Li
What arrangement does Jade need most now?
Come on? Those guys who are spouting shit, it’s time for you to humiliate yourselves!
Manchester United launched a fierce attack, and the most active one was Li Yu. It was almost the end of the game, but Li Yu broke out with amazing fighting power.
Driven by Li Yu, Manchester United's offense was getting higher and higher, but the goal never came. A discouraging scene happened in the 76th minute. Fletcher's beautiful interception in the backcourt was blocked by Arsenal.
Turkinson whistled to block Joe Cole's foul and gave Chelsea a free kick. Lampard took a free kick near the left sideline. Terry's head shook in the crowd and he hit the goal. Drogba stretched his leg in the offside position but did not touch the ball.
, but still shook Van der Sar, and the referee ruled that the goal was valid. Rooney immediately broke out in dissatisfaction and protested and received a yellow card. This conceded goal broke the perfect record of Manchester United, the only player in the Premier League who has never lost a defensive set piece.
"Offside, this is obviously an offside. The goal should not be valid at all. Maybe we cannot blame the referee. The responsibility should be more on the linesman on this side who made a mistake!" Lineker pointed out immediately.
The problem is, no one wants to see such a fierce competition ruined by a misjudgment.
Ferguson could no longer remain calm. He rushed to the sidelines and roared at the fourth official, "I saw it, I saw it. This was a conspiracy by the Londoners. It was a misjudgment. It was definitely an offside kick! You should stop this from happening."
!”
The fourth official is really unlucky. He was obviously a helper and nothing happened without him, but now it's bad luck. Ferguson's anger has been directed at him!
After Ferguson finished venting, he also knew that the score had become 3:2 and that nothing he could do would make up for it. With less than 20 minutes left, Ferguson walked to the sidelines and said, "Offense, get this ball back for me."
!”
After the restart, Li Yu took the lead and launched the attack.
Lampard pounced on Li Yu, and Li Yu protected the ball and continued to dribble. Lampard caught up with him, and he pulled back again, trying to prevent Li Yu from breaking through, but no matter how hard he tried, Li Yu still pushed the ball away.
Control your feet.
"Beautiful dribbling! It's like there's magic on his feet."
Lampard immediately made a tackle, but Li Yu pulled the football sideways and Lampard cleared it. He rushed to the outside and watched Li Yu continue to advance forward with the ball.
Barak is coming up.
In the past few matches between Li Yu and Ballack, he knew that the German was in good physical condition but was a bit slow to turn around. He immediately tapped his foot lightly and the football rolled quickly past Ballack. At the same time, Li Yu accelerated himself.
Passed by the other side of Barak.
Then, just when everyone thought Li Yu would continue to break through, he passed the ball.
Li Yu's pass is very good, because he does not pass it directly to the feet of Irving who is running forward, but to his front. This allows Irving to get the ball directly without slowing down, and to use Irving's starting speed.
The advantage of speed.
"Pass!!! Great!! Great pass!! Owen!! He got the ball! Chance for Manchester United!"
Owen knew that this was his chance!
He has longed for this moment for too long!
Now, the name Michael Owen has been forgotten by many people. Well, let's use this goal to evoke those good memories!
Owen quickly cuts into the penalty area, and Cech has already rushed out!
Owen took a deep breath, stepped hard with his left foot, raised his right foot, and slapped the football with the instep!
Under the floodlights of Stamford Bridge, a white light shot up!
At this moment, everyone’s hearts were lifted!
No one dared to speak, everyone looked at the white light, and everyone prayed. Manchester United fans prayed for a goal, while Chelsea fans prayed for a miracle. If a goal was conceded at this time, the two teams would be tied again.
Cech fell to the ground to save the ball, but did not touch the football!
And there was no sound of the football rubbing against the net... Cech turned his head and looked back, and saw the football sliding past the goal almost against the uprights!
When the football slid past, Owen couldn't believe his eyes. He heard the football hit the billboard behind the goal and made a muffled sound...
"Oh God, this goal actually... didn't go in... What a pity! Michael (Irving) still wants to score too much! He pursues angles too much!"
Owen's knees buckled and he knelt in front of the goal. He still couldn't accept the result that the ball didn't go in.
In the stands at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief, while Manchester United fans held their heads in regret and did not believe what they were seeing. At this moment, they were hoping that someone could step forward to save the team.
