After the game restarted, Chelsea were unable to fight back at all, but were even more embarrassed.

This aspect has to do with the fact that Makelele was sent off, and Manchester United had just equalised, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and one less person was one less after all, whether it was at Stamford Bridge or not, which made Chelsea fall into a big disadvantage for a while.

Seeing this situation, Mourinho on the sidelines didn't care that the first half was about to end, he walked to the sidelines and asked the team to make adjustments, signaling all the players to return to the defense to stabilize the defense, don't rush to counterattack, and finish the first half.

At this time, Manchester United were in full swing, and they continued to attack Chelsea with their numerical advantage and the aftermath of goals, completely unconcerned that Chelsea would fight back, and at this time, all United teams were on their minds to score another goal.

Now, Chelsea's players can't play at their real level, this is the toughest home they have ever encountered, there is no way to fight with one less person in hell, and Barcelona is so consistent, at least Barcelona fans are much more 'Sven' than Manchester United fans, and much quieter, England is always popular 'gentlemanly demeanor', but these 'gentlemen' who come to the football field have completely become the craziest group of people in the world.

It was only three minutes after Manchester United's goal before United came close to scoring again.

A corner.

Ryan Giggs, who had just come on as a substitute, took a corner from the left and Rio Ferdinand, who had set up the assist, pressed over John in front of goal. Terry scrambled the ball and hit the ball straight into the back of the net, but fortunately Thomas was in the middle of the chaos and struck the ball out with both hands.

There was chaos in the penalty area, and the football was bouncing around in the pile. The hearts of the Chelsea players who were 'onlookers' were in their throats.

After a few 'random shots', the ball was finally cleared off the touchline by Frank Lampard with a big kick to declare the end of United's attack.

Jonk at the front of the Big Exclusion Zone. Looking at the chaotic forbidden area, he frowned tightly. He was unhappy with his team-mates' performances in the last few minutes. Although the environment of the stadium makes it difficult to show your strength, as a professional player, if you are so easily beaten, it is really the biggest joke.

After this defense, he couldn't help but turn around and shout to the backcourt: "Seriously, this is a game!" ”

said. He pointed to the fans in the stands around him and continued: "Look at them, they came to see us win? ”

I have to say. Chelsea fans are really the more honest part of the Premier League fan community, and now completely dominated by a handful of Manchester United fans at Stamford Bridge, they seem to be a little listless like the Chelsea players on the pitch.

After this shouting. Jonker instantly caught the eye of all the Chelsea players. They looked at the black-haired kid who kept reminding them, and they felt a kind of shame in their hearts, as a veteran on the court, his mental quality was not even as good as that of an 18-year-old young man, which was really unreasonable.

And when they saw Jonker, they found their backbone again, and in fact, Jonk has gradually become one of Chelsea's spiritual leaders. It's mainly because he scores too many goals. 'As long as Jonker is around, Chelsea can score'. This idea has been ingrained in the minds of many players.

After finding the backbone, Chelsea's defense was much more stable, and even Mourinho on the sidelines nodded with satisfaction with Jonker's 'off-field' performance.

When the team is panicking, it is very important to be able to take the initiative to take responsibility and lead the team to victory, which is much more important than just being good at the ball.

"Beep......

As the whistle blew and the first half ended, the Chelsea players breathed a sigh of relief, and in their opinion, those minutes of play were even more tiring than the entire first half, and they had not experienced such a feeling of passivity for a long time.

And Jonk also sat directly on the grass, and he finally found that it was not easy to win against Manchester United, which was bursting with all its strength.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho did not come up to criticize the performance of his players in the second half of the game, but instead made an unusual encouragement.

The Portuguese also knows that it is normal for his team to perform like this in the last few minutes of such a passive game, but that does not mean that he is willing to draw or lose. Now encouragement is more practical than criticism, in an environment with one less person, the players already have little morale, and if you criticize and attack, the second half will be even more difficult.

Thankfully, it was only a draw and United were not able to take the lead, so Chelsea still had a good chance of getting the win.

"Champions are waiting for us!"

In the dressing room, Mourinho was flat, but his words were not flat: "Today, the FA came in with a lot of officials, and they were holding the trophy in their hands. Yes, they are ready. ”

'And all we have to do is try to take it, that's the most valuable honour in the Premier League, we worked hard to win the honour all season, to leave the trophy and let them give us the trophy here......

Mourinho's witty words made the players below laugh together, but he didn't laugh, but moved his face again, and continued: "If we want to win, we must first defend well, Manchester United must attack aggressively at the beginning of the second half, so what we have to do is to survive the first 15 minutes, and then after the game, it will be our turn to counterattack......"

"Joe, you have to pay more attention to the defense, focus on the defense on the lower wing."

"Jonk! You have to pay more attention to looking for counter-attacking opportunities, don't stand too far behind, and know that attacking is the best defense. ”

“……”

It was only after the players were given the task that Mourinho relented and summed it up encouragingly: "There are a lot of people in the team who have been going on for a few seasons, you all want to win the title and now it's just around the corner. ”

'This is the first time in 50 years that Chelsea have defended their league title and all the supporters of Chelsea want it to be perfect. What I want to see is that it is won with a win and a win against Manchester United will make this title flawless, and if you lose, it's not just that the title is not perfect, but even the fans will not be satisfied. Do you want that? ”

"It's not hard to win the title, it's hard to defend it, and we did it this year. We want to make the championship look even better! ”

……

"Guys, defend well, and I'll take care of the offense!" After Mourinho finished speaking, Jonker said jokingly to his teammates.

Many of the players felt it very directly, after being eliminated by Barcelona, that kid talked more in the game or at halftime, and thought more actively for the team.

"That's right. Teach them a lesson, Jonker! You haven't scored yet! "Joe. Cole was also pleased.

"Don't worry, they don't want to score."

“……”

Just when the morale of the home team's dressing room was cheering each other on. In the visiting dressing room, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson is also setting the task for the second half, and the pressure on Manchester United is even greater for this game. The old Scottish man will never allow the dignity of the team to be trampled on: "At the beginning of the attack, take advantage of their unstable formation, and must attack in a big way!" ”

"The Portuguese must be guarding against this. But the first few minutes of the second half were the best time to score, and remember that we have the advantage and we will leave Stamford Bridge proudly to teach London a lesson! ”

"I don't want to say that the nouveau riche wants to defend the title and never get it from the Red Devils!"

"You don't want to see a 'pound team' ride on top of us, as long as we can score a goal. We're going to defend with all our might! ”

Alex Ferguson is clearly thrilled as Manchester United's iconic manager. This old man has dedicated almost the rest of his life to Manchester United, when it comes to his feelings for Manchester United, he is taller than any player, but these words are very useful, after the most difficult stage of the first half of the game, these Manchester United players found that Chelsea is not so terrible, they will also be pressed and beaten, in Chelsea's home stadium, they can, because they have one more person on the field, an insurmountable huge advantage, a greater advantage than the home advantage, victory is in sight, as long as you win Chelsea, There is no pressure on them this season.

This thought has fueled a surge in confidence among the Manchester United players, who can't wait to start playing.

…………．

In this round, it is not only the Chelsea and Manchester United matches that have attracted attention, but the other game has also attracted attention, and that is the Liverpool vs Middlesbrough match.

Without Chelsea, Liverpool's home game against Middlesbrough would have been the highlight of the round, but now it can only be a foil. The reason for the media to pay more attention to it is that as long as Liverpool lose, Chelsea and Manchester United will be able to win the league trophy as long as the result of the match is a draw.

However, whether Manchester United's dignity can be maintained or not is not much of a concern for the two teams, who do not have the self-consciousness to be the focus of attention.

At this time, the game was also at halftime, and the score hung on the pitch was 0:1, with the home team in front and the away team behind, and Middlesbrough leading Liverpool 1:0.

"If we win this game, we still have a chance to qu......alify for next season's Champions Cup," said McClaren, who led Middlesbrough to play hard.

On the other hand, for Liverpool, this game is irrelevant, and now Liverpool is firmly in third place in the league, even if they lose a game, their position is unshakable, and fourth place Arsenal has been thrown away by Liverpool.

So Benitez feels that there is no need for the team to fight Middlesbrough.

In this way, the two teams with some differences in strength did not see this point at all in the score.

This made Sir Alex Ferguson, who knew the current score of the two teams, his face a lot more gloomy, as long as Middlesbrough wins, then everything Manchester United does does does not seem so important, "Damn Liverpudlians! ”

…………

The break passed quickly, and both teams took to the pitch in full swing, and from this point of view, the political and ideological work of both coaches was very good.

In a VIP box at the stadium, Chelsea chairman Mr Roman Abramovich was watching the game, and next to him stood an old man with a bright head but a warm smile, and the two started chatting again when they saw the players walking onto the pitch.

"Congratulations, you're going to win the league title in a moment." The 'peculiar'-looking old man spoke.

A grin welled up on Abramovich's face when he heard this, and he has enjoyed talking about Chelsea lately. Because it was his pride, but out of politeness, he said, "Not necessarily." It's not over yet. ”

"You know, in the Liverpool game, the Reds are behind."

"Oh?" Mr. Abu turned his head, gave him a strange look at the person next to him, and said: "Why do you seem to want Chelsea to win?" ”

A smile flashed across the old man's face, and instead of answering directly, he spoke about Chelsea's recent form. "In these two seasons, two consecutive league titles, breaking the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League. It's just the appeal of the top superstars right now, and this defending champion is likely to bring you the results you want! ”

"Hehe....... Mr. Abu laughed straight and said bluntly: "You're trying to take advantage of the superstar Chelsea want." Who to take with you? ”

The old man didn't answer directly. Just a smile flashed on his face, and he stretched out his right hand and said, "We all have what we want from each other, and everything can be talked about slowly, isn't it?" However, I hope to have a good time working together! ”

Abramovich glanced at him and said, "Happy cooperation!" ”

The hand-to-hand handing over seems to be a direct announcement that Chelsea will have a big move to shake the football world ahead......

This old man. It is now the vice president of Galliani, who is at the helm of the current Serie A giants AC Milan.

…………

Chelsea's players decided at half-time to defend before attacking in the second half. At the beginning of the game, the team's formation retreated a lot, and even Jonker's position moved back a little, shrinking to defend with all his might.

As a result, the team's offense did not play smoothly. Kerr jumped into the attacking bar, and the two men simply couldn't break through United's blockade in midfield. Cole made a mistake and soon the ball was transferred to the feet of the United players.

As Mourinho had predicted, United launched a massive attack as soon as they got the ball.

On both wings, Ryan Giggs and Fletcher dribbled the ball sharply, and the two full-backs also stepped in, this moment of pressure, a few precise combinations, so that Chelsea's blockade in the midfield collapsed in an instant, the old and strong Giggs received the ball and ran on the left side to connect the two, and kicked a precise cross.

In the penalty area, Fan. Nistrooy once again beat John Terry to win the top and after returning from injury, he seemed to be sharper, and it only took a few games to re-establish the position of Manchester United's first centre-forward, but this time his position was not good, and Ruud van Nistelrooy was also very decisive, and he handed the ball to Scholes who was rushing behind him.

Scholes didn't go inside because Chelsea defended so well that he couldn't find the angle to pass the ball for a while, so he opted for a long-range shot that hit the woodwork and was also wide of the woodwork, but it was still saved by Cech.

The Manchester United players played exactly as the manager wanted, hoping to score in the first 10 minutes of the second half, and statistically the first five minutes and the last five minutes of the game are the most likely to score, as most of the players are not yet in the game, or are not focused enough, just waiting for the game to end.

However, Mourinho had already told the Chelsea players at half-time, so the players were extremely serious, and it was not easy for Manchester United to score a goal.

And now, due to Manchester United's heavy pressure, at Stamford Bridge, they may really be desperate to score, although the back is empty, but Chelsea's counterattack still can't play, because the ball is difficult to pass through the middle of Manchester United's blockade, several successive Chelsea passes were directly intercepted by Manchester United.

In the early stages of the second half, United had a big advantage.

'Rooney's shot is another Cech, it's so beautiful!'

"Giggs made a ...... shot, and the ball grazed the goal frame and went out of the bottom line, which is a pity......"

'The header was in Petr Cech's arms for a few minutes and Chelsea looked so embarrassed but they had a great goalkeeper and now I dare say the man who played the best game was Petr Cech, he was so good that in a few minutes he had saved a couple of dangerous balls. It seems that Manchester United will have to bring down this amazing goalkeeper if they want to maintain their dignity. ”

The game on the pitch was spectacular, and the BBC TV anchor praised Chelsea's goalkeeper, but on the other hand, he was unhappy with Chelsea's conservative style of play.

Many English fans have the impression that Chelsea are a team that relies purely on counter-attacking to win. And now this turtle-like team on the pitch really doesn't look like Chelsea's style, and football is all about attack. A lot of people are hoping that Chelsea can win the title at Stamford Bridge now, and they are certainly not happy with the conservative style of play at 1-1.

At this time, Jonker has been standing a little further back in the center circle, constantly observing the form of the two teams, trying to find opportunities to counterattack.

Now Manchester United are pressing as a whole, and although it will be difficult for Chelsea to break through the blockade in midfield, they will break through it. So for Jonker, Manchester United's backfield is simply a chance to score, and now Jonk believes in manager Jose Mourinho very much, and he thinks that as long as he can score another goal. Then the team will definitely win the title, and most of the Chelsea players think so, and it's that trust that keeps the defence going and everyone on the pitch is giving 100 per cent. Try to keep the goal without losing.

…………

In this form of competition. Fast forward to five minutes before the intensity of United's attack eased.

Although the formation is still very high, the Chelsea players can understand when defending, 'one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion', and the long-term lack of scoring has caused the overall momentum of Manchester United to decline a little.

In the 53rd minute, goalkeeper Petr Cech held Rooney's header in his arms and was safe. He quickly got up from the grass and looked up just in time to see Jonk watching him near the halfway. Running backwards on one side.

After a long period of understanding, Cech immediately understood what Jonk meant, and without hesitation, he drove the ball into United's half with a big kick.

At this point, United's half was so empty that even Rio Ferdinand, who was standing at the back of the pitch, was on the line of the penalty area, while the rest of the defenders were close to the halfway point.

The moment he saw Thomas kick off, Jonker ran towards the United penalty area, occasionally turning his head to see where the ball had landed in order to adjust his direction. However, Cech was only a goalkeeper after all, and his pass was really crooked, and the ball landed right at Rio Ferdinand's feet, which made Jonk grin unconsciously as he ran.

Ferdinand's strength is undoubted, and it is not easy to run over to catch the ball in advance with such a ball in the right direction, but Jonker still rushed over with a fluke.

"Hey, there's no chance this time, the ball is in Manchester United......"

Before the BBC TV commentator finished speaking, the football had already fallen to Ferdinand's feet, and he stretched out his right foot and lightly unloaded it-

"Stopped ...... big"

Ferdinand made a mistake and his foot stopped, and the ball slammed into his right foot and rolled to the feet of Jonker, who was running forward, and there was a chance to "Ah~~~~~~~hhhh

The whole stadium was in an uproar, most of the Manchester United fans stood up nervously, and the Chelsea fans all cheered, because Ferdinand was only Manchester United's goalkeeper Van der Sar behind him.

Faced with this opportunity from the sky, Jonker did not hesitate to meet the ball with a change of direction, and in an instant it was about to shake off Ferdinand.

However, when Ferdinand, who had been past Jonker, realised his mistake, he didn't let Jonker go so easily, knowing that it would almost mean that United were going to be behind, which was not what he wanted. In an instant, Ferdinand reached directly in front of Joan Kerk and reached for the blue shirt.

Jonker had been prepared for such a surprise attack for a long time, and in fact, he had to guard his feet in almost every game this season.

However, for Ferdinand's two attacks, Jonk still failed to react, although he was not tripped up, but he was still pulled, but at the same time, he looked at the white line behind him, the corners of his mouth twitched, and decisively gave up continuing to dribble.

"Beep......

Such an obvious foul, if the referee does not make a decisive decision, he will not have to enforce the law in the Premier League.

Yellow card plus penalty!

"Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, Joanke, Joanke"

Although there was no goal, all the Chelsea fans cheered, in the public's impression, the penalty is almost equal to a goal, and the other more than 1,000 Arsenal fans, also followed the schadenfreude, they came to see the purpose of this game, is to see Manchester United in their own Chelsea to win the trophy, now Chelsea can take the lead again, they can not mention how happy they are, but at this time the Chelsea players on the field are not very satisfied with the yellow card, in the first half of the Makelele foul gave a red card, And this time Ferdinand only got a yellow card, which is really unpleasant.

They stood next to the referee and protested, but the referee ignored him and simply motioned for Chelsea to hurry up and take the penalty.

This time, Jonker stood in front of the ball.

It was a very important game and the Chelsea players still believed in Jonker.

And Jonk did not disappoint, taking the initiative to take the penalty and facing the nervous old Dutch goalkeeper. (To be continued......)
