SPN referee Atkinson added another 2 minutes of stoppage time after restarting the game.
In the last 2 minutes, the players from the two teams still fought fiercely. It seemed that no one could care about the final score, but in the last 2 minutes, no one could change it again.
The fierce battle ended with a score of 3:3.
Neither team was a loser, or in other words, they both won, each scoring 1 point. It was not perfect, but it was acceptable to everyone.
As soon as the whistle blew, the two head coaches stood together and started talking.[
"You have a good player!" the Italian coach praised a player in the Manchester United team bluntly. Although he did not name the player, Ferguson also knew who Ancelotti was referring to.
Li Yu, he equalized the score for Manchester United at the end.
Ferguson held the Italian's hand and then said: "He is good, but the game is still a draw!"
"Then I will compete next time! This is the hardest game I have played since I came to the UK. Your team is very strong!" Ancelotti said this not to compliment his opponent. Of course, as a top coach, he
I hope to fight an opponent like this again next time.
"Thank you for the compliment, we will compete next time!" Ferguson immediately agreed.
The two head coaches were always smiling in the camera, as if they were good friends they hadn't seen for many years. However, in fact, neither one was convinced by the other, so the two of them completed another appointment with such warm faces!
The players on the field began to leave the field, and the two head coaches also came to the entrance of the tunnel to encourage their players.
After a hug and a pat on the shoulder, when it was Li Yu's turn, Ferguson said: "You are the best player today!"
"Thank you boss, we should have taken away three points!" Li Yu has always been worried about the misjudgment in the game. Otherwise, Manchester United should have left as a winner.
"The game is over, have a good rest, don't think about other things anymore, I'm here to ask for an explanation!" Ferguson said as he motioned to Li Yu to go back to the locker room quickly, but don't catch a cold.
As soon as he entered the locker room, Li Yu noticed that everyone was looking at him and asking, "What's wrong?"
"Just listen to the singing of the fans outside and you will know!" Rooney gave the answer to the question.
"Our king is No. 9, he can bring us victory..."
"Please use a champion to crown our king..."
"I have heard such a song, it once belonged to No. 7 in our team!" Giggs said as he was already immersed in memories of the past.
"L, you can't do anything without a treat this time! Your Majesty the King, you must have a big banquet for all the officials!" Rooney said so excitedly that he even made a standard knightly salute.
"Stay there, I went to take a shower, I'm covered in stinky sweat!" Li Yu knew Rooney was joking, so he wasn't polite. He kicked Rooney as he spoke. It was all a joke, but he wouldn't really use it hard.
Who would have thought that Rooney definitely had a talent for acting, and he took advantage of the situation.
He immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you going to abandon your subjects?"
"Damn it, why don't you treat me to a treat?" After saying that, Li Yu finally walked into the shower room.[
As soon as Li Yu entered, the other Manchester United players couldn't hold back any longer and all started laughing loudly.
"Yeah! Sign up now for the best 3-star restaurant in London!" Rooney said with a victory sign.
"Then do we have to express something? It's not our style to eat and drink for free!" It was Anderson who spoke. This kid had a bad smile on Rooney's face, and Rooney looked thoughtful.
showed a smile.
"Yes!"
Hearing Rooney's words, the Manchester United generals knew that something good was about to happen again!
Li Yu, who was taking a shower, felt more and more strange the more he took a shower, why no one else came in for such a long time? There was definitely something strange!
He quickly washed his hands and feet, and when he came out, he found something strange. All his clothes were gone, except for a pair of red underwear. Li Yu didn't think so. He also realized that these people didn't go too far, at least they still had some clothes left.
I got a pair of underwear.
After Li Yu came out wearing red underwear, the Manchester United generals were already laughing so hard, "Our supermn, did you just save the earth?"
Rooney's voice set off another climax in the locker room. Anderson was so exaggerated that he even rolled on the ground!
Li Yu knew at a glance that it must be these two guys' idea and they didn't run away!
"Don't run away, supermn is going to fight monsters today!" Li Yu said, and his men started to prepare to rob the guy. But when he didn't, he took off his slippers, which was regarded as plundering the guy, and immediately chased after him.
What a treasure, the Manchester United dressing room has never been so happy again. Li Yu's pair of red underwear is particularly eye-catching.
"Hmm... um!" Hearing this, the joyful atmosphere immediately calmed down. Rooney and Anderson stopped running. Li Yu flew out with a slipper. Ferguson just watched and relieved his anger first.
As soon as Ferguson entered the door, he was stunned by what he saw. He backed out and took a look. It was the visiting team Manchester United's dressing room. Then he came back in and deliberately made a noise!
"Did you win the game?" Ferguson said and made the players lower their heads.
"However, your performance today can be called a victory. We can walk out of Stamford Bridge with our heads held high. So, I didn't see anything just now. Guys, just keep going and don't let reporters take pictures!"
Ferguson turned around and left the locker room, and heard the fracas in the locker room again.
"A bunch of bastards!"
…
The Manchester United players were in a good mood, but problems still arose after the game, and the problem still originated from the game against Chelsea.
A highlight match in the 12th round of the Premier League was between Manchester United and Chelsea. As a result, the Blues drew 3-3 with captain Terry's unwarranted header. Their lead over the Red Devils in the standings remained at 2 points. However,
There is controversy over the legality of this goal.
After the game, Manchester United coach Ferguson and main forward Rooney criticized the referee Atkinson, but perhaps it was because the penalty was indeed wrong. The FA, which had punished Sir Alex Ferguson not long ago, chose the net this time.
Open one side.[
In the 76th minute of the game, Manchester United midfielder Fletcher made a clean grab for the ball but was called for a foul by Atkinson. Everyone knows what happened next. Terry received Lampard's free kick and scored the winner.
Kill, Chelsea finally won 1-0 with this goal. After the game, an angry Ferguson accused the free kick that it did not exist at all, and believed that Drogba fouled Brown in the penalty area, which led to the goal.
"Obviously, Fletcher got the ball and Ashley Cole didn't touch anything, he just jumped up. After the free kick, Drogba brought Brown down and that's how we got the goal.
," Ferguson angrily accused Atkinson, "Judging from his position, it is extremely ridiculous for him to make such a penalty! Because there is a Chelsea player (Joe Cole) standing in front of him on the right.
Didn’t even move!”
Judging from the slow-motion replay, Fletcher did grab the ball first, but this only made Ferguson more disappointed because the result of the game could no longer be changed. "That was a stupid penalty, but what can you do to him?"
What to do? Sometimes, the level of referees really makes people lose confidence in them. This is really terrible, that goal should not have happened at all."
This is not the first time that Ferguson and Atkinson have feuded. Last year, Manchester United was eliminated by Portsmouth in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Atkinson was also the referee of that game. After the game, Ferguson angrily scolded the latter.
He was a "robber". Sir Alex Ferguson's deputy at the time, Queiroz, also joined in the bombardment. Later, both of them were charged by the Football Association, but in the end they were exempted from punishment.
Also dissatisfied with Atkinson is forward Rooney. In a TV interview after the game, the little fat man said directly to the camera, "The referee is Chelsea's 12th man." This plot is very reminiscent of last season's Champions League.
In the second round of the semi-finals, Chelsea forward Didier Drogba cursed Norwegian whistleblower Tom Herning in front of the camera. After that incident, UEFA banned Warcraft for four games, but according to "Sky Sports"
"Daily Mail", "Daily Telegraph" and many other media reported that Rooney is now exempt from any prosecution, and he is also exempted from punishment along with coach Ferguson.
You know, the FA has always attached great importance to protecting its referees, and the FA has never been soft on coaches and players who attack referees. The most well-known and recent example is Ferguson's bombardment of the referee against Sunderland.
Willie, the referee in the first game, was "physically unqualified." However, faced with the same party and similar circumstances, the FA made a decision not to pursue the case this time, which was equivalent to acquiescence in Atkinson's free kick penalty.
There are indeed mistakes.
The red-blue battle at Stamford Bridge was heated at times, and the fourth official on the sidelines had to give explanations and advice to the head coaches and assistant coaches of both teams. However, after the game, Ferguson still asked head coach Martin Atkinson
Come on, although Sir Alex Ferguson has been quite angry recently, Atkinson's penalty in this campaign is indeed controversial. Coincidentally, Atkinson has publicly stated that he is a Chelsea supporter!
Of course, we must first review the controversial penalty in this focus battle between Chelsea and Manchester United. In the 14th minute of the opening, Ashley Cole lost the ball, Valencia dribbled the ball from the right side into the penalty area, and Terry fought after tugging on the jersey.
His midfoot was unstable and he fell down, taking advantage of the situation to bring down the Ecuador winger. Atkinson did not make a penalty. Regarding this suspected penalty kick, ESPN said this: The referee always judges penalty kicks in such major games.
We will be very cautious, if the penalty call this time will appear to be too harsh.
The first time Ferguson got up on the sidelines was a short-term double-standard penalty by Atkinson in the 40th minute. After Terry accidentally collided with teammate Ashley Cole, Atkinson subsequently controlled Chelsea.
Instead of stopping the ball, the whistle was blown when Manchester United intercepted the ball and prepared to counterattack. The result made Sir Alex Ferguson and Rooney very dissatisfied.
But then Manchester United was also "taken care of" by Atkinson. In the 73rd minute, Drogba was suddenly kicked by Evans in the penalty area when he was fighting for a high-altitude ball. As a result, Warcraft fell to the ground in pain, but this time it was extremely
The bad foul did not cause Evans to be sent off. Instead, Drogba was given a yellow card afterwards. The Chelsea assistant coach immediately negotiated with the fourth official after receiving Ancelotti's instructions. The result changed the result of the game 3 minutes later.
A penalty occurs.
At that time, Fletcher grabbed the ball on the right side of the backcourt and prepared to launch a counterattack after stealing the ball. However, Atkinson whistled to signal that the Scots had committed a foul by grabbing the ball. Ferguson said after the game: "Fletcher won the fight and Ashley won the fight."
- Cole was not touched by the ball at all, he just jumped up." There are still three major controversies about the goal caused by this controversial penalty. First, Drogba fell while fighting for the ball in the penalty area.
Brown, and after Terry's header, Warcraft, who was suspected of being offside, kicked in front of the goal to shake Van der Sar. In addition, in an interview after the game, Anelka took credit and claimed that he touched the ball. It seemed that the goal should be counted.
On the head of the French.
Then in the 82nd minute, the situation got out of control again. Carvalho fouled Rooney when he got the ball in midfield, but the Portuguese continued to dribble the ball and deliberately delayed the time. As a result, Evans knocked down Carvalho from behind with obvious anger, and then Fletcher
Joe Cole was kicked away again, and Evans received a yellow card, which can be said to have escaped another disaster.
In stoppage time, Lampard blocked O'Shea's cross with his hand in the penalty area. In addition, bb also made a joke on Atkinson. The fourth official of this campaign held up a sign to indicate 4 minutes of stoppage time, but Alex
A full minute was wasted when Anelka was replaced, but Atkinson blew the whistle at 4 minutes and 03 seconds. The British media therefore joked, "Manchester United lost dozens of seconds because of this."
However, it is indeed doubtful to let Atkinson enforce this game, because the Yorkshire-born enforcer has publicly stated that he is a Chelsea supporter, and has made many unfavorable penalties against Chelsea opponents. In 2007
In August, The Sun reported that Atkinson was removed from the officiating list because he failed the physical fitness test, and that his officiating style is to "create" many free kicks for Chelsea before the goal, even when the opponent is watching.
The decision was made without foul play.
Of course, in addition to Atkinson, the focus of this round of refereeing is also the match between Wigan and Fulham. Clattenburg, the original referee on duty, was replaced by Dodd just before the game, and the official did not give an explanation. However,
One thing that must be mentioned is that this man was demoted to the English League One immediately after officiating the match between Manchester United and Bolton Wanderers to "practice" for a game.
Although it was the referee's help that allowed Manchester United to go from 3 points to 1 point, many problems still cannot be avoided. Manchester United did have major hidden dangers in the defense this season, even when the main players Ferdinand and Vidic were on the court.
Likewise, Manchester United's set-piece defense has made people worried, as they have allowed their opponents to score more than one goal in two consecutive games.
"The third goal we conceded was unbelievable. It was a set piece that hit the back post and was headed in while being marked. It was the first set piece we've conceded in a year. For us,
It's a good reminder, especially when we face Chelsea away on Sunday and we're going to have a lot of set pieces."
It can be said that Sir Alex Ferguson was aware of it before the war, but failed to prevent it. In a strong dialogue and such an important game, set pieces often play an extremely critical role, even if Muri left England and went to Italy.
Neo, many years later, when talking about Manchester United, also mentioned that "Manchester United is very strong in terms of set pieces, in terms of offense and defense." After this game, Ancelotti even specifically mentioned this point, "It is difficult to beat Manchester United.
, the game was evenly matched for 90 minutes, and it was difficult to score. We relied on set pieces, and sometimes we conceded goals because of this. Tonight we relied on this to score, which is very important."
Although the set piece in this game was full of controversy, judging from the two rare mistakes this week, the team's defensive command has indeed dropped to a level after Vidic and Ferdinand were absent. Brown and Evans although in the sports battle
A big flaw, but the overall command is obviously far weaker than the first two.
Defending set pieces requires teamwork. It can be said that the lack of a backbone has really caused fatal loopholes in Manchester United's strongest link in the past. In addition, Ferguson often bombarded the referees, which also brought disadvantages to the team. In addition to the referees taking special care of Manchester United,
, the players' emergency response to the referee's penalty during the game and their attention investment are also much worse than before.
After talking about the unfavorable referees and defense, we have to talk about Li Yu, Manchester United's leading striker. He has saved his players with goals one after another. In the minds of Manchester United fans, Li Yu has surpassed Ronaldo and is chasing the hurdles.
Such was the trend that after the game against Chelsea, the away fans of Manchester United actually sang the King's Song.
When Ronaldo was in the team, the Portuguese had never enjoyed such courtesy.
Li Yu is moving towards Manchester United's throne step by step. After the game, Chinese domestic media pointed out that Li Yu is now the best forward player in the world. If he can make further achievements in the national team, the throne of the football king will definitely be
It won't be a dream.
Perhaps, the Chinese media has exaggerated a bit.
However, in addition to the British media, European media also gave relatively high evaluations. "L'Equipe" has pointed out that in the absence of international football matches, the winner of this European Golden Ball Award will definitely be among Li Yu and Ronaldo.
, Messi, among the three, Li Yu is the youngest one. He can even participate in the selection of the European Golden Boy Award. People have seen his performance on the court. It is hard to believe that only such a player can
21 years old.
In the past, when it comes to popularity in international football, Li Yu was slightly lower than the other two competitors, but after this time, no one can cover up the glory of Manchester United's No. 9!
