Chapter 348: Ending the Blues' 40-game unbeaten run (Eighth Update)

"If Manchester United can't stand it at the last moment, it must be because there are too many yellow cards and non-combat attrition! Smith used this game to prove that he is fully qualified for the role of midfielder, and perhaps Ferguson can reconsider Smith's future, although he lost in the battle with Chelsea for Ballack, but also saw a different Smith in this game. ”

"If Smith can play at this level every time, what else is he thinking about Ballack, you can even forget it." Lineker began to advocate for Smith and offered to recommend Smith as a midfielder to Ferguson.

Admittedly, Smith did perform very well today, with little to no fussiness, and if he hadn't had that yellow card on him, he would have played the whole game.

Now he can only sit on the bench and watch his teammates play with concern.

Chelsea's onslaught continues.

In the 68th minute, Duff passed into the box from the left, Drogba stopped the ball with his right foot, that is, he flicked his left foot and turned, cleverly got rid of Vidic, who rarely made mistakes in the game, and then passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area, and Frank Lampard's push from the left edge of the small box was blocked by the attacking Van der Sar, and Chelsea once again missed a chance to score.

Frank Lampard had eight shots on goal in the game but couldn't find the ball in Van der Sar's goal. And Van der Sar also opened up today, and his performance was amazing. He's saved more than a dozen Chelsea shots......

In the 69th minute, Frank Lampard took a corner from the left, and this time it was the turn of Dong Fangzhuo, who returned to the defense, to clear the header, but his header was not far away, and Joe Cole volleyed from the edge of the box on the right!

But the ball was blocked and cleared by Park Ji-sung who flew up again!

Call!

The Manchester United fans could no longer sit still, and the United had now been bombarded by Chelsea for more than 20 minutes, the goal was shaky, and they could not sit and watch the game at all.

All they have left now is to hope that United can withstand Chelsea's frenzied attacks and not expect another goal.

Ferguson was walking around the sidelines, and the mood of the United fans in the stadium was no different, he didn't expect his 19th anniversary to be so crazy.

It was perhaps one of the craziest games of his life, like the 1999 Champions League final.

In the 70th minute, Duff's cross from the left was finally uneasy for Silvestre, and Del Horno's flying stab from six yards in front of the middle of the goal went just over the crossbar.

'Chelsea missed another equaliser!'

"Del Horno still couldn't get the ball into the back of the net! Chelsea's players are going crazy! ”

In the 71st minute, Duff crossed from the left, O'Shea headed it clear, and Joe Cole stopped the ball on the edge of the box in the middle and then reluctantly turned and volleyed it to be confiscated by Van der Sar.

In the 72nd minute, Manchester United finally got a chance to counterattack, the ball passed to the feet of Ronaldo, and Ronaldo used all his strength to break through Del Horno! He then immediately crossed the middle and Rooney scrambled down the middle to finish 30 yards ahead of Lampard!

After the shot, Rooney fell straight onto the turf.

He gave it his all and the game was only 72 minutes into it. One can imagine how fierce the game was, and how much Manchester United paid in the passive situation.

Wayne Rooney's shot went just over the crossbar and didn't pose any threat to Chelsea, who were making a comeback.

In the 74th minute, Del Horno blasted Ronaldo on the left side, after passing Ronaldo, he saw Duff in front, and then quickly passed the ball to him, Duff crossed, Joe Cole's shot from 14 yards in the middle of the penalty area was blocked, Lampard passed back near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and Park Ji-sung cleared the bottom line before Drogba!

Jose Mourinho covered his head on the sidelines, unable to believe that such an attack had been sabotaged by Manchester United again.

Wright Phillips then replaced Joe Cole, who ran out of stamina but still raced off the pitch as time was running out for Chelsea.

In the 77th minute, after Phillips came up, he immediately broke through Park Ji-sung with speed, even if Park Ji-sung could run again, he couldn't keep up with Phillips in absolute speed, so he chose to pull Phillips down.

At this time, Dong Fangzhuo had already withdrawn from the big penalty area and joined the team's defensive camp. Now Manchester United must come together to ensure that the goal is not conceded.

Duff's free-kick from the right flank is crossed into the box and Gudjohnsen nods it over......

"Drogba!"

"Dong!"

The main strikers of both teams collided with each other, and neither side flinched in the slightest.

As a result, neither of them got any favors.

The ball landed at the feet of Silves and he cleared the ball.

Mourinho then used a third spot, with Carlton Cole replacing Del Horno, who also brought Mourinho's "little note" to captain John Terry......

In the 79th minute, Gala was yellow carded for a foul on Ronaldo.

In the 80th minute, Duff crossed to the left side of the penalty area, and Gudjohnsen's breakthrough was shoveled out of the bottom line by Vidic.

Duff takes a corner, but the ball is cleared by the United player again.

In the 81st minute, Wright Phillips' powerful shot from 26 yards on the right was confiscated by Van der Sar.

"Wardfack."

"A few minutes to go!"

Anxious United fans are constantly urging time to go faster.

They've never seen such a long game, and it's United being pressed and beaten by their opponents.

I've watched Manchester United play for so long, I've never seen it.

In the 84th minute, O'Shea made a long pass in the midfield, Terry barely cleared the siege under the pressure of Park Ji-sung, Dong Fangzhuo was alert to grab back, and his low shot from 22 yards in the middle was blocked by Ferreira!

And after this attack, everyone found out that the only players who Manchester United put into the attack were Park Ji-sung and Dong Fangzhuo, and even Ronaldo did not come up......

When he got this corner, Vidic also chose to stay at the back and did not come up.

In the Chelsea penalty area, as long as the pitiful, Dong Fangzhuo and O'Shea.

Rooney took a corner kick from the left side, Carlton Kerr rubbed the ball in front of the point, and the ball was suddenly changed direction, but Dong Fangzhuo missed the ball from a distance, and it can be seen that Dong Fangzhuo was also a little unbearable......

In the 87th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had become more and more silent, tripped Gudjohnsen in front of the penalty area, and Lampard's free kick from 25 yards on the left side hit the wall and bounced off the bottom line!

"Can you keep an eye on it?"

"There's only a few minutes left."

'Manchester United's big box is full of heads and it's hard for Chelsea to find chances.

Duff whipped in a corner from the left and was immediately cleared by Vidic's header, but it landed at the feet of Makelele, who volleyed in from 25 yards down the middle!

Deviation ......

In the 90th minute, Gudjohnsen's breakthrough cross from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by O'Shea.

4 minutes of stoppage time!

This stoppage time is too long.

Dong Fangzhuo had already retreated into his own half, and he used what strength he had to try to stop Chelsea's advance on the front line.

In the 93rd minute, Chelsea were still attacking and they still didn't give up.

Ferreira, on the right, stubbornly rushed up and finally got the ball......

Bang –

Dong Fangzhuo rushed over and used his last strength to knock Ferreira down.

Referee Bol took out the last yellow card of the game and gave it to Dong Fangzhuo......

In the end, Chelsea lost by one goal away.

It was Chelsea's first defeat of the season, and the Blues' 40-game unbeaten run came to an end at Old Trafford.

Manchester United finally beat Chelsea at home at the cost of seven yellow cards......
