The attention of the Chelsea defenders was all on Wayne Rooney, who played a brilliant one-two with Brown, and even captain John Terry was forced to pull out Rooney for a lateral dribble.

While his left foot isn't his usual foot, who's to say he won't hit a world wave unmarked?

So...... No one dares to take any chances!

At that moment, Rooney was close to the corner of the box on the right, but suddenly chose to cross with his left foot, which no one expected.

However, there are surprises in everything.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been partnering with Rooney for four seasons, knows Rooney's shooting, passing and other small actions very well.

Therefore, the moment Rooney's cross was raised, he found a good opportunity to cut back and get in front of Essien, who was ready to clear the ball, to head the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

"--Header on goal!!" The local commentator in Manchester exclaimed, and then it turned into ecstasy: "== The ball is in!" The ball went in!! Cristiano Ronaldo equalised for Manchester United in the 42nd minute of the game!! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo was thrilled after the goal, first bending down to avoid team-mate Carlos Tevez and then running to his friend Wayne Rooney, who provided him with a clever assist.

In the process of running, he also showed his excitement very well, his right fist was clenched very tightly, and waved back and forth, and his mouth was constantly roaring, as if he wanted to completely vent the unhappiness in his heart.

This season has been the best of Cristiano Ronaldo's career! He didn't want to let Iroh steal the limelight at this time.

And it was his 15th goal in the Champions League this season!

Two seasons ago, he would have gone down in Champions League history!

However, after three seasons of magical performances by Iello, 15 goals in a single Champions League season is not a waste, but it means a lot to him, and with that goal he counts, he has scored a staggering 55 goals in all competitions this season.

"The amazing Cristiano Ronaldo took his chances in United's toughest moment and headed the ball into the Cech-goal!"

"When Wayne Rooney pulled from left to right, everybody thought he was out of touch with Cristiano Ronaldo! But...... They sue everyone here! The distance of space does not hinder their tacit cooperation!! They are a golden partner for Manchester United!! ”

Cristiano Ronaldo had made a bet with Alex Ferguson two seasons ago that he would be able to score 40 goals in all competitions, and he did, and the two took another bet to increase their tally to 50 goals before the season, and the result was ...... Cristiano Ronaldo has done it again, he's a natural big-spec player! ”

The local Manchester commentator and pro-Manchester commentator went completely crazy at this moment.

Cristiano Ronaldo jumped directly on top of Rooney, then hugged him and said loudly: "Thank you, Wayne!! ”

※※※

For this conceded goal, Mourinho is very unhappy!

Ballack has no problem following Rooney to the left side of his own defense, after all, Ballack is only one person after all, and it is impossible to defend Rooney and Brown's consecutive two-twos, so at this time another midfielder or central midfielder is needed to supplement the defense, but at this time, it is ...... Neither Frank Lampard nor Claude Makelele are out of their place.

What made Mourinho even more angry was that Essien, who was marking people at the back point, chose to watch the ball instead of watching people at a critical time!

This is an extremely low-level defensive mistake!

If you lose it in normal times, you will lose it, but now it is different, this is the final of the Champions League! Any mistake could ruin the future of the team!!

Although Mourinho did not point out which players made mistakes in this goal, the parties involved knew it and secretly held back their strength, and they must let Cristiano Ronaldo know how good they are in the next time!

"Manchester United equalised, which means that the two sides are back on the same page in the final!! Maybe this final will be even more exciting......"

"Cristiano Ronaldo equalised for United before half-time and it was a big boost to their morale! I believe that after 15 minutes of adjustment at halftime, the final in the second half will be even more exciting!! ”

The neutral commentator said during the slow-motion replay of the goal just now.

It was a surprise for Ferguson to equalise before half-time, as he did not ask his side to shrink their defence after Chelsea's goal, but instead made a gesture to veteran Paul Scholes to continue to strengthen his attack.

Iroh was standing near his own half-circle, so he didn't have to go too far to re-kick off, just a few steps to reach the middle circle.

I don't know if Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney did it on purpose, and when they returned to their own half, they glanced at Iroh with a smile.

Of course, in Iroh's eyes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, in his cognition, it was all intentional!

When the game resumed, Chelsea took advantage of the kick-off and moved the formation a few metres forward, leaving only John Terry and Carvalho in the centre circle to prevent United from counter-attacking.

And the team's only full-time defender, Makelele, is actively moving forward, but he is not directly involved in the attack, but ...... Protect the football.

A good midfielder is about knowing how to position himself.

A midfielder like Claude Makelele, who has a very high ball quotient, demands that he protect the ball when attacking and the space when defending.

The ball was passed back and forth in United's half before getting to Elloh, but this time Hargreaves was able to get the ball into the spot, and stretched out his right foot to stab the ball into the position Rooney was fighting for, which would be a quick counter-attack for United if Rooney could get the ball.

However, at this moment, Makelle fully showed his sense of running to attack and protect the football, and from the back up, the ball that was about to reach Rooney's feet was broken off and moved forward quickly.

Carrick had no choice but to step forward to press, and Iroh hurriedly retreated to meet Makelele, who also knew that he was not the material to carry the ball, and passed the ball directly to Iro.

Hargreaves turned and rushed towards Iello again, this time not with the ball broken, but with Ielo himself holding the ball!

He...... Don't hesitate to foul!

He was well aware of the power of a quick counter-attack with a second break, and at this point his own defenders were not in good position.

But what he didn't expect was that Iroh had already observed Lampard's forward route in advance, so he slammed the ball back with his right heel very covertly at the moment of taking the ball.

Frank Lampard quickened sharply and pushed forward against the ball that had slammed into Ielo's heel.

"-Danger!" The local commentator in Manchester watched Frank Lampard move the ball forward and immediately stood out from the Reds' backline and went straight to face the defence of Rio Ferdinand.

Meanwhile, Rio Ferdinand spun half a beat slower and could only extend his left elbow to push Lampard to the canvas.

Beep――

Referee Michel then blew the whistle and gave Rio Ferdinand a yellow card.

Suddenly, Leo Ferdinand was unusually remorseful.

Because the location is very dangerous!!

About 26 meters from the goal, the position is slightly to the left, which is very suitable for a right-footed free kick master to take the penalty!!

With the United players terrified, Iello converted the direct free-kick, but unfortunately it went just over the crossbar......

"-What a pity!!"

Although the free-kick missed the goal, Iroh was not dissatisfied, after all, the goal was still a little close to him.

According to Ferguson's meaning, when Chelsea held high the banner of attack, he played against them, but people are not as good as heaven, Chelsea's players relied on the threatening attack of consecutive Zào, and forced Manchester United to play, with a posture of wanting to exceed the score again before the end of the first half.

Under the pressure of reality, Ferguson had to wave his hand and signal the team to shrink the defense and maintain the score until the end of the first half.

A minute later, Chelsea took a throw-in from the back, Drogba used his body advantage to get Brown behind him, then stopped the ball with his chest, pouted his ass to push the latter away, and sent the ball to Iello who cut forward along the touchline, who took the ball forward and then accelerated with all his might, Hargreaves quickly twisted around and grabbed the shirt behind Iro.

But the power of Iello's sudden activation was far greater than the power of Hargreaves' hands, who fell a dog in front of the 80,000 fans in the stadium.

Iello then crossed the halfway line and within two seconds he was 40 metres from United's bottom line.

Then there was another feint of the upper body to the left, and Leo Ferdinand, who was dragging at the end, had a move to move the center of gravity of his body to the right, and then used the change of his ankle to go to the right and cut in!

But for some reason, Ielloh, who has always been very steady on the ball, made the ball wide in disguise, which allowed Vidic to find an opportunity to slide the ball out of the ground.

"-It's a pity!" Lineker was still lamenting a second ago, but after a second, he was in a fierce spirit: "This is an opportunity!"

Vidic's down-and-down tackle didn't get the ball far but was headed over to Ballack by Frank Lampard, who was standing in the arc of United's half.

Ballack took advantage of the situation and the United player was very quick to drop back and saw that there was no chance to get up and shoot from distance before passing the ball to Essien, who was cutting in at high speed on the right flank.

Evra changed direction and rushed to Essien, who was holding the ball, and the latter slammed the ball to the left, which is the opposite direction of Evra, shook off the angle, and suddenly shot with his feet about 28 meters from the goal!
