Chapter 344: The Battle of Tianwang Mountain (Page 1/1)

"Heh, I've finally waited for this battle of Tianwang Mountain." Lineker arrived early and watched the Old Trafford stands with great interest.

'There was no defect to Alex Ferguson today and the United fans were friendly. After all, they deserve the utmost respect for a meritorious coach who has brought 19 years of glory to Manchester United. ”

'Chelsea have been even more terrifying this season than last season and they are unbeaten so far. Seven points ahead of second-placed Manchester United, who were only five points behind in November last year, Chelsea are in a tight league position and there is no team that can stop them, and as with last season, they look like they are going to win the league title again, and although the season is long, it really doesn't look like any other possibilities. ”

Lineker is also very confident that Chelsea can have the last laugh in the league, second place Manchester United is 7 points behind, the game is over, if Chelsea win Manchester United, the points gap will be widened to 10 points, such a gap, no team can fill it, unless Chelsea planted it themselves.

Of course, Manchester United are also very competitive, winning 5-1 away at Middlesbrough in the last round, stopping the team's decline and rebounding strongly to face Chelsea at Old Trafford.

What is slightly less perfect is that Ronaldo has a negative impact due to the bow incident, and everyone has expressed concern about whether Ronaldo will be able to play in the game.

But Ferguson chose to believe in Cristiano Ronaldo today and put him in the starting line-up. In the starting lineup of 433, Ferguson has made the lineup extremely young. Relative to Chelsea, Manchester United simply have no advantage at all.

Lineker got the starting lineup, and Ferguson had already abandoned 442 and resolutely played 433: Van der Sar; Barnsley, Ferdinand, Vidic, Richardson; Fletcher, Smith, Park Ji-sung; Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo.

United's veterans were all on the bench, with Keane, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs sitting close together, each with different eyes. Keane's eyes remained focused on the pitch, Scholes looked around, and Ryan Giggs simply lowered his head to play with his fingers.

It can be seen that the mood of the three people is quite complicated. It seems that it was so many years that three people did this on the bench at the same time.

In the face of such a life-and-death battle, they can only watch their teammates play on the field from the bench, and they can only cheer......

This is perhaps Ferguson's most helpless choice, not that he does not believe in the veteran, but that he must believe in the winning squad, because Ferguson has nothing to lose, Manchester United must win.

And if you want to win, you have to rely on the starting lineup from the previous game. The only change was the replacement of Scholes with Smith. This is something that Lineke does not understand.

'Paul Scholes was good in the last game, so why didn't he start this game? Is it because Smith is younger? Personally, I think Skox's role in midfield is unmatched by Smith, and it's a bit risky to do so. Although Smith is strong defensively in the backcourt and has a lot of running range, he doesn't have Scholes's playmaking ability. ”

Chelsea's line-up was also 433: Cech; Ferreira, Gala, Terry, del Horno; Makelle, Essien, Lampard; Joe Cole, Duff, Drogba.

Chelsea lost to Real Betis in the Champions League in midweek, but the Blues remain unbeaten in 40 league games, with Didier Drogba and Duff coming in for Gudjohnsen and Arjen Robben respectively.

Del Horno replaced Carvalho at left wing-back, with Galla moving to the middle to partner John Terry, with Crespo and Arjen Robben not included in the squad.

Chelsea have won one and drawn two of their last three visits to Old Trafford.

'Maybe for Manchester United, against a strong Chelsea, they have the advantage of courage and youth. The 5-1 win in their last game allowed them to regain their sense of scoring goals, which is perhaps their biggest source of confidence. ”

'You never know what kind of fighting power is going to come out of a United like this, both teams have been in a pretty delicate phase lately.

'Even Spinach didn't dare to mess around with the market, they just gave a draw, which means both sides have a good chance of winning, Manchester United certainly can't afford to lose, and Chelsea may only need a draw because the gap between the two sides is now seven points.'

Dong Fangzhuo wore the captain's armband and Terry stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, both of whom were captains on the field today. But this time there was no war of words, and both sides appeared very silent and did not look at each other.

Dong Fangzhuo knew in his heart that this time against Chelsea would definitely not be easier than last time, Terry and Galla would definitely defend him more tightly, and he would get fewer opportunities.

John Terry seems to have settled the Friends Wife incident, and he has been even more impressive this season than he was last year, even putting Rio Ferdinand on the bench for the national team. In the face of such a Terry, Dong Fangzhuo was mentally prepared.

With the referee's whistle, the world-renowned game officially began.

Manchester United were the first to deliver the ball, and Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo immediately fired a three-shot shot into the heart of Chelsea's heart.

In the first minute, Smith slipped the ball down the middle to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, and Ronaldo immediately volleyed from 30 yards on the right, but the ball was ridiculously wide and Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech made no saves at all.

Fortunately, it is Manchester United's home stadium, otherwise Ronaldo would probably be booed.

Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear to be affected by the bow incident, and he immediately ran to the left to form a cross with Wayne Rooney, and after Park Ji-sung blocked a Chelsea pass, he got the ball again.

In the face of compatriot Ferreira, he used his speed to break through to the bottom line and then directly crossed with his left foot, but the effect of the cross was not ideal, and the ball flew directly over the big penalty area and flew out of the bottom line.

Obviously, he wanted to find Dong Fangzhuo directly, but the idea was too simple, and he didn't master the footwork well......

He is now desperate to present himself in front of the United fans and earn back their respect and trust.

Against Manchester United's youth team, Chelsea played relatively conservatively. They seemed to have temporarily conceded space to give United the chance to attack.

The Manchester United players are certainly not welcome, and if they don't take advantage of the opportunity to attack now, Chelsea could be even more difficult to play in the back.

In the 7th minute, Dong Fangzhuo quickly came back to meet his teammates, he tried to answer Park Ji-sung's pass, but Makelele instantly rushed in front of him, blocking his way back, and behind him, the figure of the African buffalo Essien appeared!

Only then did he realize that he was not only surrounded by Gala and Terry, but also by Makelle and Essien......
