The strongest winger

Chapter 798
After Chelsea and Manchester United finished the fourth round of their respective Champions League group matches, they quickly focused on the upcoming Premier League national derby. Mourinho and Ferguson both knew the significance of this game, so no matter who they were, they had to regard this game as the most important game.

Because the team that wins the game will take the lead in this season's league championship.

Of course, a draw is also beneficial to Chelsea.

However, Mourinho will not choose to draw with Manchester United at home, because in the second half of the season, there will be a scene where Manchester United is still clinging to the points. At that time, the guest at Old Trafford will be passive.

For the rich teams, the more the league reaches the end of the season, the more important the league will be. It is also a test for the players' physical reserves and status. In order to be able to focus on the more important UEFA Champions League, try to expand the lead in the early and middle stages of the league when the pressure is not high...

Ferguson's thoughts are exactly the same as Mourinho's. Manchester United has trailed Chelsea by two points in the past [-] rounds of the league. If they can win the away game, they will overtake Chelsea by one point and take the lead in the next home game. It is not impossible to achieve a double play.

At the regular press conference on the day of the game, Ferguson brought the top scorer in the team, Cristiano Ronaldo, to the scene. Facing the ridicule of the London media, Cristiano Ronaldo showed great confidence: "That's right! Manchester United and I are behind Chelsea and AI in the league standings and league scorer list, but this doesn't mean anything, because we will start a direct confrontation, a real battle! The winner is undoubtedly the great Red Devils!! I - Cristiano Ronaldo will also return to the league after this league shoot Top of the list!"

Listening to Cristiano Ronaldo's rhetoric at Stamford Bridge, the media from Manchester were very excited. Let alone the final result, you must have this kind of courage before the game, otherwise the game will be unnecessary.

Following the home team’s regular press conference, Mourinho brought Aiello, the team’s top scorer, to attend. The European mainstream media passed on the previous Cristiano Ronaldo’s remarks in a friendly manner. Aiello laughed it off and didn’t pay too much attention. Points!"

Aiello's words naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the local media in Manchester, and there was a lot of ridicule and sarcasm afterwards, but the data analysis made by Mourinho made him speechless.

※※※

The 2009th round of the English Premier League in the 2010-12 season started at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea played at home against Manchester United. More than an hour before the start of the game, almost the entire stadium was occupied by blue Chelsea fans, leaving less than [-] seats for the visiting team Manchester United.

According to incomplete statistics before the game, more than 130 media from various countries came to the scene. It is really hard to imagine that the Stamford Bridge Stadium, which is only 4, can accommodate so many reporters.

From the first minute of the game, both Chelsea and Manchester United's offenses were driven by the core of their respective teams, Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo, to launch a fierce attack on the opponent's hinterland, which attracted continuous cheers from the fans in the stands.

"Brilliant! Cristiano Ronaldo! Long shot!! Beautiful----!"

"Ai's signature free kick over the wall! OH-MY-GOD!! The crossbar, the crossbar blocked his goal!!"

"Corner! Cristiano Ronaldo!!! Oh-Shit!! Soccer denied by the goalposts!!!"

……

The game lasted less than 10 minutes, and the commentators from various countries in the on-site commentary booth have not had the opportunity to take a break. They are completely focusing 100% on the game commentary, because every touch of Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo can cause a huge threat.

Especially after two consecutive seasons of huge failures, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be enlightened. Every time he handled the ball very reasonably, he was very decisive when he should shoot, and he was not procrastinating when he should pass.

Messi, who is far away in Catalonia, is watching the live broadcast of the game. Sitting next to him are Pique and Iniesta.

"Leo, who do you think will score first? Will the home team Chelsea win the game or the away team Manchester United?"

Halfway through the first half, Iniesta turned to Messi.

"It's hard to say. Judging by the state, both of them are very good." Messi said: "If they win, it is even more difficult to say... The game is a battle of eleven people. The excellent state of the two can only drive the overall offensive and defensive rhythm, but it will not determine the final result of the game."

"but……"

Just when Messi was about to make a supplement, the on-site director followed the movement of the football and gave the camera to Aiello. Aiello received the football about 35 meters away from the Manchester United goal. Anderson and Fletcher immediately appeared in front of him. Carrick stood by and looked like he might step forward to help defend at any time.

Everyone's attention was subconsciously focused on Ai Luo who was holding the ball. In the past 20 minutes or so, many fans had suffered such a loss, so they were full of attention at this moment!

Facing the defense of Anderson and Fletcher, Ai Luo did not make any physical fake moves. He directly flicked the ball to the right and used the advantage of starting to wipe it away from Fletcher, who was closer to the middle.

Ai Luo slammed the ball back with his right foot. Fletcher rushed too hard and had no time to brake. Anders quickly turned over and tried to destroy the ball, but he was an offensive player after all, and he was more like a wooden stake when defending.

Ai Luo's next movement was very fast, and the arch of his left foot pushed the football dunked by his right foot between Fletcher and Anderson.

Fried meatballs!

Anderson had no choice but to shovel, but...he only shoveled a cloud of air!
Carrick and the central defender, who were supplementing the defense, rushed up immediately to block Aiello's dribbling space, while the central defender Rio Ferdinand on the other side recovered with Drogba's forward drive, and Evra recovered into the penalty area according to the pre-match tactical requirements.

In this case... Manchester United's defense is squeezed like a twist.

"Danger--!!"

The local commentator in Manchester exclaimed fiercely.

When Fletcher and Carrick were about to arrive, Aiello stopped suddenly and flicked the ball to the right. He rubbed the inside of the instep of his right foot and passed Manchester United to defend the left rib. Ivanovic inserted at high speed.

Seeing this, Ferguson suddenly stood up from the coach's bench.

Then there was a huge cheer from the stands, as if a goal had been scored.

※※※

Ivanovic took the ball and flicked towards the penalty area. Evra quickly retreated to block Ivanovic's route of continuing to cut in. The two central defenders squeezed Drogba, who was grabbing the forward point, in the middle, and the midfielder instinctively went in. Fletcher did not forget his goal. He and Carrick squeezed Aiello in the middle.

However, at this moment, Ivanovic suddenly passed an inverted triangle pass in the direction of the penalty spot close to the baseline. At the same time, Ai Luo made an emergency stop and retreated, and swung his right foot to hit the goal.

Fletcher and Carrick instinctively fell to the ground to block, but Aiello didn't kick the football, but missed the ball. Modric stepped in and volleyed directly. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn't respond and watched the football fly into the net.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal——" the DJ shouted on the live broadcast: "The goal is——Luka"

"- Modric!"

The Chelsea fans in the stands also erupted at this moment. Tens of thousands of fans chanted the name of the scorer, and the atmosphere reached its first climax since the start of the game.

On the contrary, the die-hard fans who came to Stamford Bridge to support Manchester United were quite helpless at this time.

Also showing helplessness was Ferguson standing on the edge of the visiting team's technical command area. In all fairness, Chelsea's offensive cooperation was very wonderful, especially the offensive initiator Aiello, who used his dribbling ability to attract enough attention, forcing Manchester United's defensive system to compress into a ball of twists.

Not far away, Mourinho waved his fist. This attack is his imitation of Barcelona's tactical play. Even if Ai Luo leaves in the future, as long as the team adapts to this technical and tactical play, then Ai Luo will buy a winger with strong breakthrough ability after leaving.

Modric, who scored the goal, first signaled Ivanovic to pass the ball, then jumped directly on Aiello's back, and shook his fist at the Chelsea fans in the stands to show his strength.

Ivanovic admired Ai Luo more and more. His pass was intended for Ai Luo just now, but what he didn't expect was that Ai Luo could see that there was an unmarked Modric behind him. The No.1 in world football really didn't come out of it!

Cristiano Ronaldo and his friend Rooney looked at each other, and a trace of helplessness could be seen in each other's eyes. Facing Chelsea's cooperation, it was really incomprehensible.

But the next moment, Cristiano Ronaldo clenched his fists and secretly vowed in his heart that he would equalize the score in the subsequent game! !
