Chapter 347 Crazy Set Meal
Not convinced!
Mourinho looked quite frustrated. When the young coach saw this goal, a fire of frustration burned in his heart.
How could Manchester United score a goal like this? None of it is fair.
Chelsea need goals.
Even if we lose this game, it won’t be a big deal.
but,
Can't lose!
Let alone lose like this!
Perhaps, it was still too conservative. Mourinho quickly denied himself.
Negating the plan he had formulated before, he should not give too much space to Manchester United.
Now, it's time to make a change.
In fact, he is not a very principled guy. On the contrary, he is very shameless. Even the tactical plan that you have firmly formulated before can be overturned in an instant.
So next everyone saw another Chelsea.
In the 35th minute, Del Horno assisted from the left, ran across the center line, received a pass from Lampard, and immediately passed the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area, but Drogba stopped the ball out of the baseline without pressure.
In fact, Del Horno's passing speed is a bit fast, and Drogba is not a speed forward. If he can stop the ball while running at high speed, it is already very good...
But he didn't. If it had been Dong Fangzhuo, it might have been a different result.
But a minute later, it was Chelsea who still controlled the ball.
The conceded goal had every one of their players roaring.
In the 36th minute, Lampard passed a free kick from the left into the penalty area. Ferdinand made another mistake. In the confrontation with Terry, he was diverted by Terry's header. The ball slipped out and Drogba, who was waiting in the middle, missed it. The ball, if he could stretch out his long legs, the ball would go in.
In the 38th minute, Essien made a pass from the right, Duff headed back to the center with a header, and Ferdinand made a timely clearance before Lampard.
Ferdinand seems to have contracted Sylvester's problem of being sometimes ineffective...
Chelsea's offense is too strong.
Manchester United only got an offensive opportunity in the 40th minute. Fletcher made a pass from the right, Gallas headed the ball to clear the ball, and Smith's volley from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Makelele.
But Chelsea counterattacked in an instant. In the 41st minute, Joe Cole passed the ball straight from the right. Drogba got rid of Ferdinand and broke into the penalty area on the right side of the baseline. He volleyed from a small angle and hit the side net.
Ferguson could hold back, but the Manchester United players in the stands couldn't hold it in any longer. They shouted Ferdinand's name from the sidelines.
"Ferdinand, get out!"
"Ferdinand, get out!"
The fans are putting pressure on Ferguson and letting such an unreliable Ferdinand continue to stay on the court is simply a torment for everyone. We don't know when this time bomb will explode. From the beginning of the game to now, we have made three serious mistakes. If Drogba and the others hadn't caught it, Manchester United would have been equalized long ago.
In half-time injury time, Lampard's low free kick from 25 yards in the middle missed.
The half is finally over.
In the last ten minutes, Manchester United's defense was really suffering...
But what can Ferguson do? Ferdinand is unreliable, so will Sylvester be reliable? This is not necessarily the case...
But it seems more dangerous if Ferdinand is not replaced.
So for the first time since Ferdinand joined Manchester United, he was replaced by Ferguson at half-time...
When the game restarted in the second half, Manchester United's central defender partnership became Vidic and Silvestre. Although Sylvester is even more unreliable, Ferguson can only hope that his condition today is better than Ferdinand's.
However, when the game restarted, Manchester United got the chance first.
After Chelsea kicked off, they passed the ball back. Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney pressed forward and directly attacked Chelsea's right wing. Del Honor was still a little panicked and had to make a clearance in the panic. As a result, the ball fell at the feet of Smith.
Smith passed the ball directly to Dong Fangzhuo. At this time, Dong Fangzhuo was not blocked by Gala and Terry. Because Dong Fangzhuo had just forced the ball and then ran back, there was no one around him to mark him in time.
But it was different when he turned around with the ball. Makelele quickly approached him, but Dong Fangzhuo forced his kick, and the ball finally hit Makelele and bounced out of the baseline.
It's not that Dong Fangzhuo accepted the challenge in a hurry. He chose this result just because of his confidence and kicked him. If you hit the goal, you might score, and if you hit the opponent, you might get a corner kick. It won’t be a big deal even if it’s shot away…
In the end, he won a corner kick on the left. Rooney's tactical corner kick was taken. Ronaldo quickly moved from the right to the left, and then he immediately forced a shot. This time the ball was blocked by Essien, but again It bounced to Rooney's feet! Rooney made a pass from the left, and Dong Fangzhuo in the middle took off from the right rib of the penalty area. Terry and he were on top of each other. This time Terry did not fail and finally restrained Dong Fangzhuo.
Chelsea immediately retaliated. Duff made a pass from the left. Joe Cole's shot in the arc of the penalty area was blocked by Park Ji-sung. Lampard's 25-yard shot in the middle was blocked.
In the 50th minute, Duff was so fast on the left that he reached the bottom line unstoppably and created a corner kick! He personally took a left corner kick, Vidic headed the ball to clear the ball, and Lampard's 20-yard volley from the center was blocked by Smith...
The two teams attacked at a very fast pace. Chelsea got more shooting opportunities, but obviously had no luck.
In the 53rd minute, Chelsea made a series of beautiful combinations on the right, but Ferreira's cross was unanswered.
Manchester United almost expanded the score 1 minute later. Rooney's 30-yard low shot from the left was blocked by Gallas. Rooney then passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Dong Fangzhuo didn't wait for the ball to land and passed the ball back to the center with the outside instep of his left foot. Terry had nothing to do about Dong Fangzhuo's action. Ronaldo's right-footed volley from 12 yards went over the crossbar.
"Ronaldo, Ronaldo, you were too anxious just now!"
"This kind of opportunity should not be wasted, not like Lampard..."
Mourinho finally couldn't hold it any longer and began to make changes. In the 55th minute, Gudjohnsen replaced Essien. Gudjohnsen once scored four goals against Manchester United. Perhaps Mourinho hopes that he can also bring luck to the team.
In the 57th minute, Duff passed the ball to the left. Gudjohnsen made a cross pass from the left side of the penalty area. Duff missed the ball in front of him. Drogba's shovel shot from 10 yards in the middle was blocked by Sylvester. Wipe the left column off the bottom line.
It looks like Sylvester is in better shape than Ferdinand today at least.
In the 59th minute, Smith fouled Gudjohnsen, and Drogba's free kick from 30 yards in the middle missed the crossbar.
In the 60th minute, Sylvester fouled Drogba in midfield. The Ivorian was dissatisfied with the penalty and was given a yellow card by Boll. Then Lampard's left-footed shot from 25 yards in the middle was blocked by Sylvester.
In the 61st minute, Del Horno made a pass from the left. After Joe Cole stopped the ball, he volleyed 14 yards from the left side of the penalty area.
In the 62nd minute, Dong Fangzhuo made a direct pass to Rooney, and Del Horno intercepted the ball.
In the 63rd minute, Park Ji-sung fouled Gudjohnsen and was given a yellow card. Lampard dropped a free kick from the left into the penalty area. Terry headed the ball back. Del Horno's left-footed volley from 16 yards in the right rib of the penalty area was blocked by Smith. Van der Sar confiscated the ball.
In the 64th minute, Fletcher fouled Lampard. Cristiano Ronaldo kicked the ball far away and was given a yellow card. Lampard's free kick from 30 yards on the left was blocked by Vidic.
In the 66th minute, Ferreira fouled the fast-breaking Ronaldo and was given a yellow card.
In the 67th minute, Fletcher fouled Terry. He was dissatisfied with the referee's penalty and was given a yellow card.
"Crazy, crazy, crazy yellow card package war! It's okay on Chelsea's side, only two people got yellow cards, but as many as five people on Manchester United's side got yellow cards! If Ferguson doesn't make substitution adjustments , something might happen later!”
Ferguson is not stupid, I still have two substitution places in my hand, and now he immediately threw them up. But five people have yellow cards, and he only has two substitutions...
In the end, Ferguson chose to replace the brave Smith, and O'Shea replaced Fletcher.
Chelsea's current attack is too fierce. It doesn't mean that Manchester United can attack if they want to. There is still a big problem whether they can defend it...
"It's a pity that Smith is dismissed. He is the most powerful guy in the game, as strong as Dong Dong. If he could, Ferguson would never replace him."
