The figure of the 127th king
After the start of the second half, Manchester United's attack was still strong, the score was still 1-1, and the Manchester United did not want the Chelsea people to take away any points at all.
Ferguson chose Chelsea's middle as a breakthrough, because Chelsea's middle has a certain vacuum after Mikel is off, Rooney and Jonker are active in the middle, Scholes can also come over to help, Manchester United is now very attacking in the middle.
Manchester United strengthened the attack in the middle, Rooney was more active than in the first half, constantly asking for the ball in the middle, Lu Xiaopang is now more like a forward player, retreating deeply, helping Scholes mobilize Chelsea's defensive strength, he did not even appear on the front line after an attack, such a configuration also made Chelsea's defense a little messy.
Cristiano Ronaldo is constantly cutting from the wing to the middle, trying to attack the Chelsea defence, putting pressure on his national team teammates and Ben Haim and others.
After the start of the second half, Ferguson keenly realized that Chelsea did not want to press out against Manchester United, and once again conveyed to the team that the attack should be stronger.
Since Chelsea are so conservative, then Chelsea can attack with impunity.
I have to say that at halftime, Grant emphasized that Chelsea's players who received yellow cards should pay attention to their actions when defending, which is not to say that it is okay, after saying that, Chelsea's players did not dare to make too many moves on defense and became a little shrunken.
When Ferreira was defending Cristiano Ronaldo, he wanted to steal at the first time. However, I was afraid that my actions would be too big and I would be whistled for a foul. Therefore, after hesitating for a while, he grabbed it, and it was when he hesitated that Ronaldo accelerated to change direction and break through.
On the commentary bench, Lineker suddenly said to Eddie Gray, "No, Chelsea's defense is not as decisive as in the first half. ”
"I'm afraid of cards." Eddie Gray said. He's now focused on Jonker, and he wants to see how things look like for United looking even more aggressive than in the first half. Can Jonk surprise him and the fans?
Manchester United's attack is in full swing.
"Cristiano Ronaldo - he receives Rooney's pass - shoots from distance - Cech hits the ball - Ryan Giggs shoots again! It's high! ”
"Giggs! His pass - Carrick's header! That's right! Hold on to Cech! ”
"Rooney's shot! Petr Cech...... Nice save! ”
Jonk's header was clung to Cech. His appearance today is divine, but if the Chelsea team has been so passive, it will be a matter of time before they concede a goal! ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo. He's dribbling - is it a cross? No! A shot that seemed to be a pass flew directly to the goal...... Pretty! Petr Cech takes to the air again and lifts the ball over the crossbar! ”
Joe Cole is a well-known nerve knife among England players. He is often able to score some unbelievable goals, and he often squandered some good chances.
His long-range shot looked more like a cross, but it flew straight into the corner, thanks to a brave save! In fact, he did want the cross.
Of course, if Cristiano Ronaldo scores this goal. This goal will become a classic, and who cares if Ronaldo is going to shoot or cross at that time.
"The corner kick is taken. Tactical corners! Giggs passes the ball - Jonk shoots! Blocked out! Patrice Evra shoots again! Blocked out again! Cristiano Ronaldo passes the ball into the box! Ferreira! WOWOWOWWOOOO - His header cleared, almost owned, Cech subconsciously blocked it, Manchester United won a corner in a row! ”
Giggs took another corner, Ferdinand and Terry grabbed the point together, neither of them grabbed it, the ball flew to the back post, Jonk unconventionally paddled his knee and was waited for by Cech!
I have to say, fortunately, the Czech goalkeeper Cechdi was in quite good shape in this game. He was the busiest man at the start of the second half, keeping the Blues safe from the top of the pack.
However, despite Petr's excellent performance, United fans and commentators are still optimistic about the Reds.
Because blindly defending will not work, no matter how well the goalkeeper plays, it is just a passive defense. There is no unbreakable defense in this world, and after a long time, Cech is not a god, and he can always try to keep the door open.
Grant was on the sidelines, his expression was stern, and he kept making gestures, which were gestures asking everyone to return to the defense and participate in the defense, and the team was almost completely offensive, almost in an iron bucket formation.
'Chelsea, in this game, they can't even get a draw.' Lineker said.
"At the beginning of the second half, it was a complete retraction! Is Grant going to want the team to hold on for forty-five minutes? Is he content with a 1-1 scoreline? Eddie Gray said mercilessly, "You know, such conservatism is often broken with a big stick!" ”
"Where's Jonker? At this time, Manchester United needs someone to step up, someone needs to give a clear answer to this game! He had to stand up! ”
Jonker is in a bad mood right now, the team is in full swing, but the score has not been rewritten, and the rest of his team-mates have been given good opportunities, but the special care given to him by Chelsea's former team-mates has given him fewer chances.
Attacking is always about scoring goals, and the only way to win is to score goals!
But he sadly found that his position was very awkward, and he was at the front, to attract the attention of Chelsea's defense, and to fight for more opportunities for his teammates, which was really unpleasant, especially watching his teammates get good opportunities, and he could only watch!
Jonker's eyes rolled, and he was going to make a decision for himself.
Anyway, the head coach's tactics also said, it's all offense, and it shouldn't be a problem to retreat a little later.
At this time, Ronaldo was put down by Essien and left the field for treatment, taking advantage of this time, Jonk ran to Scholes, the Manchester United veteran today is extremely physically exhausted, tired and a little out of breath.
"Ginger boss, how do you feel? Tired or not? Jonk asked directly.
Scholes was panting heavily. When he heard this, he looked up at Jonker and said with a smile, "Go ahead." I'll leave it to me later! ”
A very simple sentence.
Jonk looked at the sweaty veteran. He didn't say anything, he just nodded towards Scholes and ran towards the front.
He found Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney again, told them to push forward again, and kept the space behind them to himself.
Jonk also gestured to Carrick, signaling him to work harder. Expand some of the defensive range, especially the space behind you, and you must not have a problem.
Unbeknownst to Ferguson off the pitch, Jonker was already assertive on the pitch. 'Fine-tuning' his tactics.
'Wayne Rooney's shot was denied by Chelsea again, how long can they hold on?'
'Chelsea managed to get the game up front of Manchester United, only to be kicked forward by Rio Ferdinand. Scholes takes possession. He was looking up at the shape ......"
As he spoke, Scholes passed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo in front.
At this time, in front, Ronaldo is on the right, Rooney is very close to Ronaldo, and Jonk is close to the middle. It will now be up to United to pose a threat.
Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled along the flank and attracted Ashley. After Kerr's defense. Pass to Rooney, who pulls the ball and turns around before suddenly splitting it.
In front of the penalty area, Jonk has the ball!
Seeing Jonk get the ball, everyone gets nervous.
Needless to say, the threat of Jonker!
What's more, in the first half of the game, Jonk has already scored a goal to show everyone that he is in good shape now!
Allowing Jonker to get the ball near the box is a huge threat in itself.
Terry came out to defend.
Jonk faced Terry, unhurried, he played with the ball at his feet, and suddenly pulled the football sideways, and at the same time picked up his right foot!
"Watch out for his long-range shots!"
"Block him!"
It's Grant shouting in front, and goalkeeper Petr Cech shouting in the back.
Jonk's long-range shooting ability is not bad, and everyone knows it.
Everyone focused on Jonker, thinking he was going to shoot from distance, but ignored Giggs, who was next to him.
It should be said that with Giggs's fame, it should not have been ignored, but, there is no way, Jonk's threat and prestige are even greater.
Jonk made a gesture to shoot from distance, but he was originally pumping the foot shape of the football, but he suddenly changed to stab, and stabbed the football out.
Ryan Giggs was already in place, but he didn't think Jonk would pass the ball to him after he wasted a great chance to score in the first half. Heart-to-heart, Giggs thought, if he was Jonker, he wouldn't have passed the ball.
However, football rolls over!
Watch the soccer ball roll over!
Giggs looked a little caught off guard.
At this time, Jonker's roar rang out, "Ryan!!" Shoot! ”
In a hurry, Jonk shouted in Chinese! The mother tongue always comes first subconsciously.
Giggs could not understand what Jonk was shouting, but he came back from his stunned stupor, and by this time, Benhaim had already rushed up.
I don't have time to think about it so much.
Facing the football, Ryan Giggs picked up his right foot and rubbed the football up!
He had just been running when he noticed that Cech was standing close to the left and was thinking about smashing into the top right corner of the net.
Cech did stand to the left, and by the time he realised Ryan Giggs was about to shoot, he flew into the air like a big birdie and pounced on the left.
His bounce is amazing, and his ability to stay in the air is also good!
He felt his fingertips touch the ball and Cech was overjoyed, he thought he could save it!
But the moment the football touched his fingertips, he realized that the football itself had a very strong spin and great power!
With the power of his fingertips alone, he simply couldn't pounce on the football!
Feel a tingling in your fingertips.
Then the ball broke through his fingertips and continued to spin forward, flying into the net!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!”
"The ball is in! It was Ryan Giggs who scored! ”
"Giggs! This time, he didn't waste Jonker's pass! ”
"Nice rubbing! Ryan Giggs has scored! ”
'It was Ryan Giggs' first goal for Manchester United this season! Two to one! His goal gave United the lead! Of course, there's nothing surprising about this! Manchester United have been besieging Chelsea. However, it is always a miss! This time Manchester United counterattacked, they finally succeeded! ”
"Brilliant goal! Strike! This time. Giggs shot beautifully, and of course, he had to thank Jonker for his pass! ”
'In the first half, Ryan Giggs didn't take advantage of that empty goal, but he scored a beautiful goal in the second half! Lineker also sighed and joked, "Ryan, he is only willing to score such a beautiful goal to prove that he is not old!" ”
'Ryan Giggs' goal. He wants to thank the people who passed the ball to him...... Jonk's pass was unusually beautiful! He caught Chelsea's defensive attention, whether it was Ben Haim or John Terry, the first time. They all thought that Jonker was going to shoot from a distance! "Eddie Gray is a die-hard fan of Jonker, and he is only a passing pass for Ryan Giggs who scored the goal, and he is not shy about praising the attacker.
When Ryan Giggs saw the football go into the net, he fell into ecstasy. To score a goal. It's definitely the most wonderful thing to do!
Besides, the goal gave United the lead and maybe even a winning goal, and Ryan Giggs was certainly overjoyed.
He started running to celebrate the goal, ran two steps, remembered the person who passed the ball to him, and he rushed towards Jonker.
"Thank you for the pass." Giggs shouted.
"It was a beautiful shot." Jonk laughed too.
Manchester United's new veterans raise their arms and their right palms strike each other in the air!
It was a beautiful goalscoring combination. Isn't it?!
More United players gathered around to celebrate the goal.
But. Jonk quickly withdrew from the celebratory crowd, not wanting to make the mistake of the first half.
At a time when the Manchester United players celebrated the goal like crazy! The Chelsea players had doubts about the Manchester United goal. They thought Ryan Giggs might have been in an offside position when Jonker passed the ball.
But, in reality, Giggs was not offside, and when he got the ball, John Terry was not far from him, half a body behind him.
In the dugout on the sidelines, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson stood up from his seat with a hard slap, very excited.
And Grant waved his hand a little helplessly, he didn't even know who he should be angry at, if it is exact, the biggest responsibility for this lost ball, it seems that the biggest responsibility is himself, the original plan to use the attack to contain the opponent's arrangement has not been implemented at all, has been in a passive situation, and it is only a matter of time before the goal is lost!
Grant looked at the celebrating Manchester United players, and scolded two British national scoldings in a depressed mood, can you not be depressed...... Because it was the most difficult time for my team at that time, it seems that I can't do it for a long time as a temporary worker, and results are always the first criterion of football, and it is useless to have no results.
Watching Jonker, who assisted, and Ryan Giggs, who scored the goal, high-five him to celebrate the goal, the Manchester commentator was particularly excited: "I can say that this is a kind of inheritance, a generation of veterans and a new generation of players at Manchester United, perfect cooperation, scored such a clever goal, the strength of the Red Devils will definitely continue, generation after generation!" ”
"Well done, there's no better goal than this!" Manchester United's fans erupted in loud cheers.
Manchester United has been taking the initiative to attack since the start of the second half, and the fans actually didn't expect the team to score a goal for so long.
Manchester United sealed the win in the 89th minute, Rio Ferdinand's long pass, Ben Haim tripped Cristiano Ronaldo in the box, referee Dean decisively awarded a penalty, and the Portuguese himself took the penalty and fired a low shot into the middle of the net.
3:1, there is no suspense about Manchester United's victory!
Chelsea in the Jose Mourinho era were Manchester United's nemesis, with only 1 win, 2 draws and 3 defeats in 6 league meetings, and 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat at home. Now that the madman is gone, Ferguson and his team immediately made a beautiful comeback, 3-1, thanks to goals from Jonck, Ryan Giggs and Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United leapt up to second in the table after beating Chelsea, pressing Arsenal.
Ferguson didn't rejoice about the win after the game, he was calm. Even for the opponent to complain. The gentleman said Mikel's red card and Cristiano Ronaldo's late penalty were both misjudged. 'I saw the red card [the process] and it was a bit sloppy. It was a deliberate foul that could have hurt Patrice Evra. However, some other referees may not give a red card. 'It's not Mikel who really deserves the red card, it's Joe Cole.' Joe Cole's tackle on Cristiano Ronaldo was a red card, the kind of foul that would have kicked him straight out of the game, and the referee only gave him a yellow card because he had already sent off a Chelsea player and he was balancing the first decision. ”
The penalty is similar to a red card, and United deserve it. But not the one Ronaldo scored. "[Joe Cole tackles Patrice Evra] United deserve a penalty and I think it was a penalty. The penalty awarded to Cristiano Ronaldo was a bit sloppy, but it was offset by Joe Cole's. ”
Manchester United won the match 3-1. It was the biggest win over Chelsea in all competitions in three years, but Ferguson was not satisfied, believing the victory should have been easier. 'In terms of the content of the game, United played very well in the first half hour. The penetration is great. The passing was great and we should have been two or three goals ahead in that period, but Cech kept making great saves from the start of the game. ”
"It's a quick word", this is the comment given to Evra by the person in charge of "Sky Sports" after the Manchester United Chelsea game, the evaluation seems somewhat lacking in enthusiasm, but it has already given the most important characteristics of Patrice Evra, for the French defender. Just give him space on the side and he'll be as fast as he goes. Make the opponent uncomfortable for 90 minutes.
Sky Sports only gave Patrice Evra seven points, and they seemed to have forgotten what Evra did in today's game, and it was not covered up with "just a quick word", because he was so fast and single-minded, some of the convinced Chelsea players were ruthless against him, and Evra used a little physical soreness in exchange for a favorable situation. As the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose 800 yourself, and although Evra is in some physical pain, the contribution he brings to the team is by no means as close as 1000 to 800.
Look at what happened in the 32nd minute, Mikel took the ball slightly bigger and was stopped by Evra, but Nigeria seemed to be going to block the opponent in the embryonic stage, and before Evra started, a two-legged flying shovel kicked directly towards Evra, Evra was dodging, referee Dean's eyes could not be avoided, Mikel a red card, the overall situation of the game immediately turned sharply from 55 to the Red Devils to grasp a qiē.
It is obviously too much to say that Evra is planning to earn Mikel, and the Nigerian's moves are full of anger, and whether Evra hides or not is already secondary.
More often, in addition to showing their own ability to block the opponent's side attack, the full-back also has to take the initiative to attack forward, which is Evra's forte, even if he doesn't actually cross the ball, two don't shoot the number of shots, running around like a lightning speed, you can make the opponent often can't grasp the balance in defense, in the 17th minute, Evra burst into the left side of the penalty area, Joe Cole shoveled it down, It was enough to deserve a penalty, but the referee either didn't see it, or had his own thoughts, and didn't give the penalty, otherwise Evra would have added an assist to his book.
Patrice Evra's position wobbly last season, mainly because of the presence of Heinze and Silvestre, but he also managed to make 22 league appearances, in which the Frenchman showed the power of assists that full-backs should have, with four assists and one goal in the season.
In this season's game, Evra has only directly assisted Giggs on the Community Shield before, and the opponent at that time was still Chelsea, and although there was no direct assist this time, but let the opponent pay a red card and a missed penalty for himself, such a contribution is much more valuable than playing a thousand miles against the weaker team, and it is no wonder that Ferguson, when he is currently left at left-back, is still using Evra in full attendance without hurry, because the French defender is too good to meet his pressing tactical needs.
Another player who has to be mentioned is Jonker, who perfectly showed the potential of the attacking core in the game, and Jonk called on the players to make targeted changes many times in this game, if Ferguson is the anchor off the field, then now Manchester United has another core in the game that can lead the team to victory.
