Chapter 60 King's Landing Stanford 2
Chelsea is behind, so naturally they will not give Manchester United a good look, attack, attack, non-stop attack, in short, they will not stop until they score a goal against Manchester United.

However, Manchester United is not easy to get along with, otherwise they would not have scored first at Stanford, but Chelsea's wave was a bit too fierce. Obviously, the group of hunks were holding their breath. They were suppressed and beaten by Chelsea for a long time, and Manchester United finally got over it. angry.

Less than 10 minutes into the first half plus stoppage time, Manchester United formed a counterattack. Giggs sent a through ball. Rooney inserted a shot from the left side of the penalty area and was blocked by Petr Cech. The England striker who received the ball again had no choice. The ball was passed to Carrick who followed up in the middle, and the supplementary shot went over the goal.

But it’s not over yet, Petr Cech took a goal kick, Fletcher crossed the center line after stealing the ball from the backcourt, faced the defensive Lampard, and passed directly to Carrick in the middle, this time Carrick also did not choose to pass the ball , He shot from 27 meters in front of the goal. Unfortunately, his long-range shooting skills still need to be improved, and the football missed the goal.

However, just these two blows also stopped Chelsea's counterattack arrogance, and even impatience appeared in himself.Terry collided with Ashley Cole when he cleared the ball with a header. The two fell to the ground at the same time. Referee Atkinson stopped the game.

Although the old man was very dissatisfied on the sidelines, the referee did not say anything and still awarded the football to Chelsea, but the Blues were also considered generous and kicked the football to the Manchester United defender.

The first half ended with continuous anti-aircraft fire from both sides.

At half-time, Ferguson didn't give any instructions. What else can you ask for in the lead at Stamford Bridge?Let the players play on their own, and the most important thing is to stabilize the game.

However, Manchester United's players will not be satisfied with a one-goal lead, and they must show the away team's hard work in the away game, not to mention why Chelsea can lead in points.

So at the beginning of the second half, without waiting for Chelsea to attack, Manchester United took the lead. Fletcher made a cooperation with Carrick in front of the penalty area and then wiped into the penalty area. The football was blocked by Terry and Manchester United took a corner kick.

Giggs sent a tactical corner kick. Carrick received the pass from Giggs and passed it back to Giggs. The Welshman dribbled the ball up two steps and then decisively passed the ball into the penalty area. Rooney failed to grab it. The ball swayed past Terry, and the football flew to Anderson, who was pointing back. Unfortunately, the Brazilian's header was a bit taken for granted. The football flew over the crossbar and went out of the baseline.

Let Manchester United play like this for nearly 5 minutes, Ancelotti is also a little depressed, but Manchester United is too tight, and he can't change the status quo even if he deliberately adjusts.

In the end, he had to signal Deco to control the ball and stabilize the rhythm, so that he could slow down and counterattack.

Deco dribbled the ball through half-time himself, and both Fletcher and Anderson's pressing was unsuccessful.

Then Deco pulled the ball to the front of Manchester United's penalty area after pulling himself to the wing, which opened Manchester United's defense.

Brown missed someone in the middle, and Brown went up to press, but Lampard, who received the ball first, did not give Brown a chance to defend. Before Brown stretched his foot, he stabbed at the edge of the penalty area without warning.

After the halftime break, Thirteen's hands have already returned to normal. Facing this seemingly swift and tricky shot that is actually lacking in momentum, he doesn't need too much movement.

But then again, only players with quick reactions like Thirteen will feel this way. Many goalkeepers who are tall but not quick to react are actually the most afraid of this kind of ball. The movement is sudden, and the shot is often straight and tricky. The goalkeeper with a slower reaction basically has no choice but to disarm.

Although Lampard's shot did not turn into a goal, this sudden blow also eased Manchester United's offense a little. The two teams began a rapid offensive and defensive transition. high speed segment.

The same as Cech, the Czech goalkeeper did not dare to relax at this time, and he did not even dare to let Manchester United catch the ball easily in the penalty area, which obviously expanded his defensive range.

No matter how Manchester United suppressed Chelsea's counterattack, the Blues continued to break through Manchester United's defense.

However, this breakthrough may also be due to Manchester United's advance of the defense.

Although Manchester United does not use it much for offside, it is more effective against the fast Drogba. Of course, this may also be because Ferguson feels that the advantage of one ball is not safe enough and wants to let Manchester United expand the score.

But no matter what, Shisan enjoys this situation very much. Although he will be busy at such times, maybe he really has a tendency to be abused. If he is not busy, he will feel unhappy.

But he was happy, and Chelsea's striker was depressed.

No one can be sure whether Drogba and Anelka have collapsed.

Ballack shifted to the center, Lampard received the ball and went straight to the frontcourt. Seeing this, Brown retreated quickly. Drogba might feel it after receiving the ball, so it doesn't matter whether Anelka in front has started, 30 in front of the goal. Pulling out the foot at a distance of about one meter is a dull shot.

It's a pity that the two strikers of Chelsea may not have communicated enough. Anelka, who had suffered in the first half, didn't seem to tell his teammates that the guy in front of Manchester United likes to be whipped.

In fact, if Drogba's shot Thirteen didn't pounce, he wouldn't be able to score, because as long as the goal is not scored by Carlos, it must be missed. Unfortunately, Thirteen is very excited at this time, so it doesn't matter what the ball is. As long as he thinks he can take it down, he will never let it go.

When Drogba shot the goal, the kid was still standing in the center of the goal, but when the football flew to the small penalty area, he had already slid to the right side of the goal and took off.

Without any suspense, he stretched out his hands and grabbed the ball. Although he couldn't really pick it off, the football didn't go out of the baseline, and fell to the ground after a weak rebound.

It's a pity that Anelka is still seven or eight meters away from the ball, and besides Shisan, the closest one is Evans, the Northern Irish defender opened his hand very eye-catchingly, and then watched Shisan pick up the ball , and then Bigfoot drives out.

"Look, this is the problem. This kid always likes to fix these things. If one day he doesn't grasp it well and his hands are stiff, the ball will either be given to the opponent. A corner kick or a direct follow-up shot." Ferguson caught it again Thirteen's problems started to chatter to Tony.

"Okay, not everyone can throw this kind of ball. You have to look at his good side, and he is only now. What can you ask of him?" Tony said angrily. Last night, a few old guys I couldn't help but kill his family to bottom out his bottle of red wine that he had traveled so far, which made him depressed for a long time.

"Nonsense, of course I know him. If he dares to do this at the age of 28, I will replace him directly."

"Okay! If you can persist for ten years, you can change it if you want!" Feilan's eyes are about to smile, and he enjoys provoking a war between two old friends more and more.

Life has been small since ancient times, and these guys are afraid to stir up a new chaos in the Premier League.

"Whoever said that I can't hold on anymore, as long as I have the breath, I dare to stay in this position." After saying this, the old man didn't believe it himself, but he couldn't lose his momentum in front of his old partner, otherwise he would be in the future. How can we restrain this group of guys who are becoming more and more presumptuous.

"Di..." Just when Ferguson and others made a rare joke during the game, the referee stopped the game.

Chelsea's players all surrounded the referee, and it seemed that there was some controversy.

"Mr. Referee, this is a bad foul. I'm about to enter the penalty area. He tripped me up and down. Why didn't he take a shot?" Drogba felt that his fall was not worth it. A free kick, might as well squeeze in forcefully, it may be a yellow card and a penalty kick.

"Listen to me!" The referee stopped talking after saying this, but walked to the front of Manchester United's penalty area. Obviously this was just a free kick.

This time, the Manchester United players didn't protest much, because Evans did foul just now, and if Drogba stopped the ball, it would be single-handed.

"Evans? It seems to be very difficult! Drogba's impact is getting stronger and stronger now. It would be great if Ferdinand and Vidic were together!" Ferguson was a little helpless, no one should be sent off at this time , thought for a while and looked at Vidic sitting next to him, hesitated for a moment, and the old man stood up.

"Let's all warm up!" It was obvious that they were going to make a substitution, but they didn't know who they were planning to change at this time. The second half of the game only lasted for a quarter of an hour.

Drogba chose to kick this free kick by himself, but it is estimated that his mood has not calmed down, and the eager mood ended up hitting the wall, and the football went directly to Anderson.

The Brazilian was right, and blocked the ball back with a straight body.

But the football was won by Ballack. The German pulled to the right, quickly shook off the Manchester United players who rushed forward, and passed the ball to the goal from the edge of the penalty area.

Obviously, Chelsea had practiced this kind of cross. A big man in front of the goal blocked Thirteen. He couldn't attack, so he had to step back and prepare to pounce.

The football crossed the penalty area and went straight to the back point, where there was a Frenchman, Anelka.

This time the distance was less than five meters. Although the angle was a bit small, Anelka did not find it difficult at all.With a kick, he slapped the football.

Thirteen was in a bit of a panic this time, because Terry had a great influence on him. The England captain, who was used to defending, obviously regarded Thirteen as a defensive object.

However, Shisan is not a pure rookie. After all, he has also mixed in the youth team. A player who came out of a place where scuffles may occur at any time. Although the pressure Terry put on him was somewhat affected, he did not Use the normal way to save.

Don't you want me to hold the ball?Then I won't hug, can't I kick it out?

With this in mind, taking advantage of Terry's pressure on his upper body, Shisan stepped on his right foot and slammed his left foot up facing the football.

After hitting the football continuously from a short distance of five meters, the ball somewhat changed direction.

However, unlike the wonderful pass in the first half to launch a counterattack from the frontcourt, this time the football went towards the goal very strangely.It wasn't an intense arc, and Thirteen's heartbeat almost stopped.

"Bang" Gospel!

The football hit the left goal post and bounced miraculously in a straight line, bouncing back to Thirteen's chest.

This time, no matter what he said, he had to catch the ball, and he didn't know whether he was born with such strength or a sudden explosion. One stop ahead of Shisan actually made Terry, who was half hugging him, stagger.

With a roll of his left hand, the football was hugged by him, and his footsteps were still firmly established. Terry took the opportunity to bump and didn't let him fall into the goal.

After catching the ball, Thirteen hurriedly straddled the goal with both feet before turning his head and glaring fiercely at the England captain. Obviously, Thirteen didn't take Terry's deterrence seriously.

"Oh, it's not bad!" Terry licked his upper lip in a bloodthirsty manner, and then ran back to the backcourt a little funny.

"That kid is good!" Just like the excitement of discovering the New World, the England captain actually said something casually when he passed by Lampard in the midfield.

"Really, I want to try it!" Obviously Lampard has not felt too deeply.

"Hey, did Terry do something to him?" Tony said nervously, as if he was about to stand up and ask, but fortunately, Feilan who was next to him pulled him and realized that the coach was not You can go anywhere.

"What can he do? If this kid can really guard against a player like Terry, that would be great." Ferguson looked unimpressive. It seemed that only by belittling Thirteen could he show that his vision was correct. Is this right? What about self-comfort? !
Lampard acted quickly on the field, and I don't know if it was because of listening to Terry's words.

Ballack dribbled the ball from the side to Lampard in the middle, the England midfielder, took a step towards the penalty area, staggered Brown, and shot directly.

It's a pity that it's obvious that long-range shots can't pose a threat at any time. If you don't prepare well, this kind of shot is basically useless.Thirteen didn't need to move, the football was running towards his chest.

The continuous attack did not work, and Ancelotti finally adjusted the lineup first.

Joe Cole replaced Deco. The Italian is planning to go to the side. The continuous attack in the center ended with long-range shots. However, when Anelcara was on the side, he was more threatening. In this case, it is better to switch to a full-time side. Road players come up.

However, Manchester United will not wait for Chelsea to adjust before playing. When the opponent's position changes have not yet adapted, they will continue to attack.

In the 66th minute, Valencia returned a pass from the right side of the penalty area to the front of the penalty area. Rooney stepped in obliquely and shot with a kick. Petr Cech could not react in time and had already disarmed.

But when Rooney was still regretting, the football was sent to his feet again, almost in the same position. This time the England striker controlled the football, but Petr Cech was also ready, so a good shot met a good one. Flutter, the latecomers prevail.

The game seems to be entering Manchester United's time again, and Ancelotti is going to be depressed, but football is round, and it is normal for the situation to change in a blink of an eye.

Manchester United's attack failed, Terry pushed the ball out, and Ballack, who returned, received the ball and drove directly to the frontcourt.

The ball is a bit big, and the football is about to fly into the Manchester United penalty area.

Evans in the back, Drogba in front, the two took off at the same time.

The football was topped by Evans, but Drogba fell in the Manchester United penalty area.

Warcraft lay on the ground clutching his chest for a long time, the referee did not make a penalty, and then Warcraft yelled dissatisfiedly, and even found Evans to ask for an explanation.

This time, the referee's whistle finally blew, a yellow card.

"Drogba seemed very dissatisfied, what the hell happened."

"Oh... Evans, Evans looks quiet, this is really bad enough." The fans watching TV heard such comments.

The slow-motion playback showed that the Northern Ireland defender kicked Drogba hard on the chest.It's too dangerous.

"This ball is also Drogba, and he might go down with another person." This sounded like a compliment.

Yes, only a body like a monster can withstand such torture.

But he can only be wronged today, because the ball can only be seen by fans in one direction.Even the linesman was blocked by Evans' body, let alone the referee, who was still near the center line at that time.Blame can only blame Chelsea's counterattack too fast.

Perhaps such fouls were not caught, and Manchester United's players let it go more openly, but if they walk at night, they will hit ghosts. In the No. 705 minute of the game, Fletcher tackled Ashley on the side. · Cole puts his opponent down.

Lampard takes the free kick.

Run-up, kick-off pass, Manchester United leaked in the penalty area, and the unguarded Terry headed ten meters in front of the goal to grab a point and swing to the lower left corner of the goal.

The ball wasn't fast, and Shisan felt that he was sure of it.

However, just as he was about to fall, a foot suddenly stretched out from the door.

Shisan was stunned for a moment, his body tightened a bit, but soon Shisan cursed, "Bitch!"

It was Didier Drogba, but the guy who was supposed to be offside just wobbled and missed the ball.

Thirteen jumped out without thinking.

Before the football could barely enter the goal, he poked the football with his fingertips, causing him to change direction and roll out of the baseline.

"Shit!" This time it was Drogba's turn to be depressed. If he knew that this guy could touch the ball, he might as well poke it himself. Maybe the referee didn't see him offside.

At this moment, almost everyone stood up. It was so overhanging that the fans at Stamford Bridge were about to cheer, but it was a pity that their mouths were choked just like that.

"Corner!"

Almost all of Chelsea's players pressed forward. Although there are still 10 minutes to play, there is no time to wait.

But at this time, Thirteen was completely self-centered. It wasn't that he didn't trust his teammates, but that there were too many people in the restricted area. If there was confusion, he would only get drawn no matter how fast he reacted.

Although this is an idea that Ferguson criticized very much, Thirteen does have this ability. He has height, bounce, reaction and speed, which is OK. Of course, he must have the courage to attack and accurate judgment.

But Lampard's corner was taken off by him.

The Blues' counterattack continued, but Ferguson, who had long been unable to bear it, replaced Anderson with Vidic to strengthen the defense.

At the same time, Rooney was replaced with Mike, and Giggs was pushed to the front.

Obviously the task of Giggs and Mike is to hold the ball and delay the time. Both of them can walk the ball on the wing if they want to.

After robbing the ball helplessly, Chelsea finally got their last chance to attack, Ballack passed Lampard.

This time the England midfielder did not choose a long-range shot, but a through pass into the penalty area. Drogba, who succeeded in countering offside, ran over Manchester United like a tank and scored. Thirteen didn't come out. It was getting close, and he couldn't get out, but he still took a step forward.

Brown was putting pressure on Drogba. The Ivorian striker was really strong. Thirteen felt a little helpless, could it be that Torres shot again?
If that's the case, he feels that he really can't react at such a short distance.

But Thirteen was too worried, Warcraft is still weaker than the Spaniard in terms of ball control.He also chose to shoot, but the ball didn't hit the right part, just touched the football with his toe.

The football was a little floating, but it was still heading for the goal. Shisan knelt down to hold the ball very 'professionally', and then lay down on the ground very 'professionally' for more than ten seconds.

Delaying time may be considered an experience!

Manchester United completed the conquest at Stamford Bridge, although this is only what they think.

The Blues are definitely not convinced, but one thing remains unchanged. In the first half of the semi-finals of the small league, Manchester United took the lead with two wins and one draw.At the same time, it also reversed Chelsea in the standings and returned to the top of the list.

How long it will stay at the top this time is not guaranteed, but what Ferguson can be sure of is that Thirteen has won his heart, even though he won't admit it.
