our champion dream

Chapter 150 The decisive moment
In the dressing room, United's players were scrambling to dry themselves off before changing into dry shirts, a way to avoid catching a cold.

At the same time, Ferguson praised the performance of the players in the first half. Although everyone created a lot of opportunities, Ferguson was generally satisfied with the performance of the players.Especially the performance after the goal, the players did not relax their vigilance because of the goal.Instead, they are actively attacking, and on defense, they are also very focused. It can be said that for Manchester United, this is a fairly satisfactory halftime must-have.

After praising the players, it's time to talk about how they played in the second half.

Otherwise, praise alone will not win the game.

"... in the second half if Chelsea continue to play like this, we will continue to fight back."

The strategy for the second half was very simple.

Since Manchester United is leading, Chelsea, who are more anxious, naturally want to destroy Manchester United in one go, so Manchester United will avoid their edge and fight back.

At the same time, on the other side, the Chelsea coach is naturally dissatisfied with the performance of Chelsea in the first half of the team. Although they still have a two-point lead even if they lose the game, for Chelsea, two points It's just too dangerous to secure their next title.

He asked the players to make persistent efforts in the second half, and this game must not be lost.

Chelsea's performance in the first half cannot be said to be bad, but Manchester United's defense was very focused and did not reveal any substantial flaws, which prevented Chelsea from finding a chance.This is still a very intense game.

~
After the start of the second half, as Ferguson expected, Chelsea showed their fangs to Manchester United and continued to attack Manchester United's goal.As for Manchester United, in response to Chelsea's very intensive offensive, they also launched a defensive counterattack as expected.

Just after the start of the second half, Chelsea launched an attack from the right, and the football was passed into the penalty area.But Drogba, who followed up in front of the goal to grab a point, was half a beat too late, and missed the football! "Drogba—what a pity! If he can kick the football and ensure that the football is within the range of the goal frame, the goal will undoubtedly be scored!" The commentator Martin Taylor shouted regretfully.

After the football was passed to Manchester United, many Chelsea fans in front of the TV jumped up excitedly from their seats, raised their arms, and prepared to cheer for Chelsea's goal.As a result, Drogba did not touch the football, which made the jumping fans fall back to their chairs in disappointment, their raised arms were buckled down and hugged their heads, and they looked at the TV screen in disbelief—they dared not I believe that a high-level player like Drogba would not even touch the ball!
~~~~~~~~
The second half of the game had just started, and such a dangerous situation happened in front of Manchester United's goal, which really scared the Manchester United fans.

However, the Chelsea players on the pitch did not seem to be affected.

Within a few minutes, Manchester United played a high-quality counterattack.

After the football was passed all the way to the front of Chelsea's penalty area, Li Xiaoming passed it to Rooney with his heel at the front of the penalty area. Rooney inserted into the penalty area from the right and made a pass.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech flew to save and shot Berbatov's header!

"Oh--!" This time it was the turn of the Manchester United fans to exclaim.

"Berbatov header!! The Czech goalkeeper made a wonderful save!"

"Although they didn't score, Manchester United played a very high-quality counterattack! Facing Chelsea's aggressive offensive, Manchester United is not at a disadvantage at all!" He Ping was very happy. Manchester United's performance gave him hope.

Now that Manchester United is leading, if this score is maintained until the end, then Manchester United can narrow the point gap with Chelsea, and the two-point league points can be wiped out as long as one mistake is made.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Manchester United's counterattack scared the Chelsea fans and Naples fans enough, and then the Chelsea fans were enraged, and their shouts in the stands became even more crazy.And their madness was passed on to the Chelsea players on the pitch.

Chelsea did not restrain themselves because of Manchester United's attack. On the contrary, they attacked more fiercely.

And Chelsea, whose fighting spirit was aroused by this attack, was not to be outdone, and the two teams simply fought against each other.

Playing on slippery grass, both sides have many players who can instantly change nose cancer, and they will create many opportunities. At this time, whoever can seize these opportunities may be fatal.

At 7 minutes, Manchester United launched an offensive. Rooney got a chance on the right side of the penalty area, but his shot from 11 meters in front of the goal was blocked by the post!

"Wayne Rooney!! He missed a great opportunity to lead!"

Rooney, who failed to score a goal, put his head in his hands and was very annoyed.

Li Xiaoming patted Rooney on the back, indicating that it was a good shot.

Although there was no goal, such a shot must be able to boost morale and give confidence to teammates.

It is also true that Manchester United has not been affected by continuous threatening attacks but no goals.

After Chelsea attacked again, Horseface also launched their attack.

Since it was not a counterattack after stealing the ball this time, Chelsea had already prepared.

Beckham, who launched the offensive point in the backcourt, did not and did not rush to try to hit them behind with a long pass.

Instead, he chose to move forward with a short pass.

Advancing all the way to Chelsea's penalty area, Chelsea encountered huge defensive resistance.

It is difficult for them to send forward passes anymore, and they can only pass crosses or pass back more often.

Because the field is slippery, it is not easy to break through with the ball.

Li Xiaoming took the ball again, he gently moved the football forward, then caught up with the football, raised his right leg, and made a gesture to shoot directly from a long distance.

For this kind of solid defense, long shots are always one of the good ways to change the situation on the field.

So seeing that Manchester United was going to take a long shot, Chelsea's players immediately rushed up to be eye-catching.

In the end, Li Xiaoming was just a fake move. His right foot didn't really hit the football, and it fell down and passed the football to Nani not far to the left.

Nani takes the ball in the ribs, he can also choose to break through with the ball or take a long shot or cross.

He didn't do this, because after he received the ball, he saw Li Xiaoming suddenly go forward, and at the same time, the opponent's defenders all turned their eyes to him who had the ball, and the level of marking Li Xiaoming suddenly dropped.

Nani realized that this was an opportunity to pass the ball, so he passed the football without hesitation.

"Two passes and one hit the wall to cooperate!"

Amidst the exclamation of the commentator, Li Xiaoming received the ball again.

At the same time, with football, the defensive attention of Chelsea defenders has returned to him.

Li Xiaoming just caught the ball with his right foot, and immediately pushed the football out with his right foot.

This time he passed the football to Berbatov diagonally forward.

And at this moment, as Li Xiaoming got the ball twice in a row, he attracted the attention of the Chelsea defenders, Bale was able to run the butcher into the space between the two defenders, where he received the ball and almost shot directly !
"Chance for Manchester United!"

When Li Xiaoming passed the ball, He Ping shouted excitedly.

There was a huge exclamation at the scene.

Chelsea's defenders quickly turned and went to attack Berbatov.

But Berbatov did not shoot. The Bulgarian, who was sent to Brother Xiaosha, stabbed the football obliquely with a clean instep of his right foot, and the football rolled back to the feet of Li Xiaoming who was going forward!After passing the ball, Li Xiaoming did not stop to stand and watch Berbatov's performance, but continued to run forward, because Berbatov helped him attract the defender, so now he is in a completely unmarked situation Got the ball!
When Li Xiaoming took the ball, he was already near the penalty spot, and then faced a huge goal and a goalkeeper Petr Cech alone.

All eyes were on him. If there was warmth in his eyes, he should have been ignited by now...

I saw Li Xiaoming swung his foot, this time it was no longer a fake move, he kicked the football with the instep of his right foot!

With a bang, the surrounding air was blown away, passing through the somewhat damp lawn.

The football flew to the lower left corner of the goal!
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech jumped sideways, his reaction was fast, when Li Xiaoming shot, he had already thrown it out and judged the right direction.

But Li Xiaoming's shot was very low, and the ball quickly crossed the lawn. Although Cech's hand touched the football, he couldn't save it. He only changed the direction of the football slightly. Dash into the goal behind him, hit the net...

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!" Martin Taylor raised his arms and shouted excitedly. "Li Xiaoming! He took the lead again for Chelsea!!! 2:0! It's Li Xiaoming again, he is like a Chelsea killer."

"Beautiful two-to-one cooperation in a row, Manchester United knocked down Chelsea's iron wall! You really deserve to be the key man of Manchester United!" He Ping also quips. "Manchester United took the victory of this game into their own hands!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After scoring the goal, Li Xiaoming glanced at the football in the goal and confirmed that he had scored a goal. Then he ran towards the corner flag with open arms. A long trace.

Li Xiaoming seldom does such a wild celebration, but he also knows how important this ball is to Manchester United. …

Li Xiaoming just wanted to turn over and get up, but he was pushed down from behind and lay on the ground again. Then he felt someone lying on his body, and then more people pressed up...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While the Manchester United coaches and players were all excited to celebrate a goal, it wasn't the Chelsea fans who saw their team concede the ball, but the Chelsea players on the pitch, who were most saddened and frustrated.When the football flew into the goal, many Chelsea players held their heads in their hands and stared blankly at the TV screen.

The whole process of Li Xiaoming's goal was being shown on TV, while the commentators were analyzing why Qierxi suddenly conceded the goal. Originally, they were not at a disadvantage in the scene, and there was no sign of conceding the goal at all.

"...Manchester United suddenly speeded up the pass in the frontcourt. Li Xiaoming and Berbatov's two-for-one disrupted Manchester United's defensive rhythm. It can be said that this sudden speed-up made the Manchester United players a little dizzy. It's a waste of time, otherwise they really shouldn't have missed Li Xiaoming in the restricted area..."

"Li Xiaoming's pass to Berbatov is actually very good. If Berbatov shoots directly, it is possible to score. That's why the Chelsea players are so nervous and rush desperately. Berbatov. This gave Li Xiaoming the opportunity to insert the space, and the way Berbatov played was very chic as always. He cleverly passed the football to Li Xiaoming, who was in a better position than him. Goal..."

Li Xiaoming, who was pulled up from the ground by his teammates, was already covered in mud and grass clippings. There were a lot of mud spots on his face, which looked a bit embarrassing, without any glorious image of a goal scorer.

But the smile on his face makes people automatically ignore the not-so-beautiful image.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manchester United's goal deeply hit the morale of the Chelsea players.

They began to have a suspicion deep in their hearts-why we still failed to win Manchester United, aren't we very strong?

This kind of suspicion may not be obvious at first, and everyone just flashes in their minds.

But once this kind of idea arises, it will be like a seed, buried in everyone's heart, and then wait for the right time to break out of the ground.

While Manchester United's players celebrated their goal, there was dead silence on Chelsea's side.

Ancelotti, who is still the head coach of the team, reacted immediately. He realized the blow to the morale and confidence of the team.

So he quickly stood on the sidelines and kept yelling at the players on the field, giving orders to cheer them up.

When Li Xiaoming scored the goal, it was the No.601 minute of the game, and there was still half an hour before the end of the game. Now is not the time to give up.

Chelsea still have to continue to attack!

In other words, now there is only one way to continue to attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally speaking, in Manchester United's situation, after regaining the lead and facing aggressive opponents, the leading team should shrink their defense and play a defensive counterattack.But when the game restarted, Manchester United did the opposite, once again showing the world their unreasonable style of playing cards.

Manchester United, which regained the lead, did not shrink back to defend, but continued to attack!

They collided with Chelsea's offensive head-on, and the offensive was even faster than the lagging Chelsea!
This really caught Chelsea off guard.

Originally, after Chelsea lost the ball, their confidence and morale were shaken. Relying on the authority and arrangements of the head coach Ancelotti, they were forcibly boosted, but the situation of weak foundation has not been improved.

Then, in the game, they ran into Manchester United's surging offensive tide. Under the impact of the two sides, Chelsea was smashed to pieces immediately, turning into countless water droplets and being blown into the air by the wind.

And Manchester United took advantage of the momentum just scored to regain the initiative of the game.
