Cole, Malouda, Drogba; Officiating in this Champions League final is Slovak referee Mitchell, the old man who is the referee that UEFA has focused on training. and being able to officiate the Champions Cup final shows that its golden whistle is full of color.

Amid the tsunami cheers of the audience, Jonk followed the team onto the turf of Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium. Although at this time, the night in Moscow has become a little cold, but everyone still felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, and the whole stadium was almost boiling.

Next is the two sides lined up, shook hands, and the captain exchanged team flags and picked sides. The result was that Manchester United were given the right to kick off.

All the procedures were completed, and the players from both sides stood in their respective halves, with Jonker and Rooney in the center circle. Jonk took a deep breath. With a soccer ball under his feet, he waited for the whistle to start, and at this time, Jonker even felt his breathing unusually fast.

The pitch has always been noisy and lively. Also quiet down at this time.

Say that someone is waiting. Waiting for the whistle of the referee Mitchell, waiting for the rotten stage that is about to begin!

Jonker slammed the ball forward, Rooney turned and knocked the ball back to Scholes, who passed it back again, Vidic came up to catch the ball, but he didn't stop the ball and instead passed it back to Scholes, who split it with his heel. Cristiano Ronaldo came up to catch the ball.

Makelele immediately came up to interfere, and everyone knew about it. Once the Portuguese is getting up to speed, it is not easy to stop him.

Cristiano Ronaldo stepped the ball forward, then lifted his right foot, made a gesture to drive the ball to the front, and when Makelle jumped up to block, a low ball was passed.

The ball rolled towards the front court on the turf, and Jonk raised his right foot against the ball, but only stepped over the ball, did not stop the ball, and he leaked the ball!

"Beautiful leak!" The narrator shouted.

On the commentary seat, many commentators didn't even have time to admire, they saw the football roll to the right, and then a red figure rushed up, directly with a volley!

This is Rooney, Jonker's leak is quite ingenious, deceiving the Chelsea backline, so that when Rooney shoots, no one has time to come up and block it!

"Rooney shoots!" The little fat man's shot was a low flat ball, the ball was against the turf, and the ball was very fast.

Petr's vision was blocked and there was nothing he could do when he tried to pounce, but Terry fell to the ground in time to reach out for a tackle, and the ball hit his spikes and bounced off the line.

"Corner! The game has only been played for 1 minute. Manchester United scored a corner with their first shot! ”

Manchester United fans at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow shouted the name of Rooney, who shot the goal, and although the shot did not go in, the momentum of the team came out all at once after it started.

And when Rooney shoots, the football rolls towards the goal quickly, the Chelsea players' veins are tense, no one thought that Manchester United had such a threatening shot at the beginning of the game, if this goal is scored, Chelsea fell into passivity at the beginning of the game, considering that this is such an important game as the Champions Cup final, if you are under pressure at the beginning, the game shape is quite not optimistic.

Paul Scholes' corner was sent into the box and Carrick jumped to grab the spot, but his header was too high and the power was too great, and Cech took the ball down the air.

Chelsea fans also applauded Cech's solidity.

Grant sat in the dugout, and when Rooney's shot jumped him off, he leaned slightly and saw Terry knock the ball out. only to breathe a sigh of relief.

Grant's tactics for the team are to take the lead and take control of the game in their own hands, which will be difficult if they concede the first goal at the beginning of the game.

Petr Cech hugged the football, yelled and patted Terry on the shoulder, a thank you for the captain's crucial save.

Petr Cech threw the ball in his hand and Carvalho looked in front of him, a big foot drove the ball away, and Ballack fought for the top and got in front of Fletcher to ferry the ball to Essien. The latter chested the ball and held the ball at his feet, and Evra had no choice but to come up and intercept it. Essien, however, passed the football to Joe Cole.

After Joe Cole won the ball, he first burst past Giggs with a change of direction, and then when Scholes came up to grab the ball, Joe Cole abruptly split the ball.

There, Barak and Drogba did a two-by-one with the wall, and then, Ballack took two steps. About 35 meters from the goal, he suddenly started to shoot.

Everyone knew that Ballack had a long-range shot, and the fans watched the flying football with wide eyes. However, the football did not continue to fly. Instead, it hit a Manchester United player directly.

Then, everyone saw the ball pop off the sideline, and Brown, who was hit by the ball, looked like he had been hit by a bullet. Straight down. Lying on the turf and convulsing.

Jonk and Scholes rushed over, and they saw that Brown seemed to be having trouble breathing and was convulsing.

"Referee! Doctor! Hurry up!! We need doctors! Scholes shouted at the referee that there have always been sudden deaths on the pitch in recent years, and everyone was a little scared to see Brown like this. The Champions League is important, but no one wants to see an accident with their team-mates.

Jonk glared at Barak fiercely. Although he also knew that it was not Ballack's fault, no one knew that Ballack's powerful shot would actually hit Brown directly. However, it will still be a little mustard.

Ballack also looked a little anxious, no one wants accidents, it is the nature of professional players to pursue glory, however, no one would think of hurting their own opposing players.

Frank Lampard came up and tapped Ballack on the shoulder to reassure his team-mates, who knew it was just an accident.

Referee Mitchell hurriedly ran over, saw that Brown was still convulsing, and quickly waved for the stretcher and the team doctor to enter the court.

'Chelsea's attack! Ballack got the ball, he shot hard - O'Shea went down, he was hit by a powerful volley from the Germans, it seemed like an accident happened, we don't know what the situation was yet, it was chaotic - the team doctor came in, God forbid, don't have any surprises. ”

"God, it's like Brown has been hit by a missile, it's terrible, the team doctor is in the field, I hope something doesn't happen......"

Manchester United team doctor Jeffs hurriedly ran to the field, but did not dare to move Brown, at this time, it is strictly forbidden to move the injured, no one knows whether Brown was hit by the ball, or has a heart problem.

Jeffs let the players around him spread out to make sure they could breathe air.

"How? Is it possible to move? Referee Mitchell asked Manchester United's team doctor as he looked at his watch, and the game had been interrupted for five minutes.

"It's not clear, wait and see." Jeffs said. Hearing him say this, referee Mitchell couldn't say anything, the game is important, but the health and life of the players are the first priority.

At this time, the fans on both sides in the stands of the final stadium also stopped making noise, let alone boosing. Although the fans of both sides are also mortal enemies and hope that their teams will win the championship, they are now also praying for Brown.

Ferguson was also anxious on the sidelines, however, he couldn't get in and there was nothing he could do, so to be on the safe side, he asked the veteran Gary to be on the sidelines. Neville warmed up on the sidelines.

Fortunately, Brown, who was lying on the court at this time, slowly opened his eyes, he was just hit by that powerful shot just now, and he had chest tightness and distraction, and when he relieved his breath, there was no big problem.

However, for the sake of safety, referee Mitchell insisted that the Manchester United right-back be carried off the pitch on a stretcher and carefully checked before making a decision.

A minute later, Brown raised his hand to the referee from the sidelines, Van Del hooked his hand to signal that he was ready to play, and there was a round of applause from the stands to welcome O'Shea's return, and the TV cameras could be seen clapping not only Manchester United fans, but also Chelsea fans, and reporters in the press box also clapped hard at the stands.

'The world fans are one' is a good topic.

"Are you alright?"

Jonker saw that Ballack took the initiative to find Brown and said this, and the two shook hands, which gave Jonk a new understanding of Balak's character, and the captain of the German national team was really good.

'Ballack and Brown shake hands, that's what we want to see, they're rivals on the pitch, they're fighting for wins and titles, but their morals are high. A commentator said loudly, and those who didn't know thought he was making a political report.

Manchester United attack.

Jonk pedaled two bikes in a row. Suddenly, an acceleration shook off the stubborn Carvalho. He passes the ball to Hargreaves, who is inserted on the left.

Hargreaves took a few steps and passed the ball to Scholes, who came up to pick it up, and Scholes took two steps later. Picked up a half-high ball and knocked the ball towards Cristiano Ronaldo on the right.

The Portuguese is an absolute danger to Manchester United, Grant knows the danger of Jonker, but he will never relax his defense against Ronaldo, and before the game, Grant specifically told the players. Pay attention to the close pressing of Manchester United's No.7 and don't let him dribble lightly.

So, Makelle immediately pounced. Intending to take advantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's stoppage to stab the football, perhaps because it was the Champions Cup final, the veteran Makelele also expressed his unusual excitement. His speed is not inferior at all. An acceleration rushed to Cristiano Ronaldo's side.

Cristiano Ronaldo faced the football and lifted his right leg, but did not stop the ball, but let the football roll past him!

Leak ball!

Makelle was taken aback, and before he could react, Cristiano Ronaldo made a turn, swept past him and caught up with the football.

Facing the football. It was a deft kick that cut through a beautiful arc. Flying towards the top left corner of the goal, Cech jumped up like a kangaroo and was able to block the football......

"Nice clever shot...... Incredible save! That's great! Cech! He reacts faster than fiber! 'The commentator Cech's save was full of praise, and although the Chelsea goalkeeper's save was very wolfy, the reaction was quick and beautiful.

Ferguson watched from the sidelines as Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly spun into the back of the net with an imaginative shot that the old man clenched his fists in front of his chest. Ready to jump up and cheer at any moment, then he saw that Cech actually pounced on the football, and the godfather of Manchester United waved his hand in annoyance, sat down in the dugout, and sighed regretfully.

Scholes's corner, in the box, Jonk jumped high and hit a beautiful lion's header, which was extremely powerful, but it flew off the crossbar.

Since the start of the game, there has been a camera following Jonker, for Manchester United No. 25, everyone is very concerned, and according to the "Team Newspaper", if Jonk can help Manchester United win the Champions Cup, then the strongest contender for this year's European Footballer of the Year is undoubtedly Jonk.

At this moment, when Jonk was in the air, he turned his head and watched the football fly out against the beam, and the regret and unwillingness on his face were clearly captured by the camera at the scene.

Frank Lampard made a good tackle in his own half and immediately shifted the ball to Essien, who split it diagonally, and from there, Joe Cole chased it towards it.

The England midfielder caught up with the football, then poked his toes and accelerated himself past Carrick's side.

The stands of Chelsea fans at Moscow's Luzhjini Stadium thundered with joy as the blue ocean erupted into a rolling wave.

Carrick immediately chased back, he made a vicious tackle from behind, seeing this action, Ferguson on the sidelines changed his face, if this shovels someone, it will be a red card, this is also Carrick's first European Champions Cup final, Carrick is too nervous!

Chelsea fans cheered, Joe Cole seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, lightly flicked the ball, dodged Fletcher's tackle, referee Mitchell had already put the whistle in his mouth, ready to blow for Fletcher foul, now seeing that the back tackle failed to win, he did not blow the whistle, his hands were raised, and the game continued.

For no reason, I was also relieved to see that Carrick didn't shovel anyone.

Joe Cole, who dodged Carrick's backtackle, continued to take two steps, attracting Brown to come up and defend himself, and suddenly a diagonal pass, the ball passed through the space between Brown and Ferdinand, and flew towards the right corner of the penalty area, everyone saw that Drogba was rushing there like a wild elephant.

A scalpel-like precision ball!!

Drogba didn't stop the ball at all, and directly lifted his right foot to volley!

It was a brilliant shot that went past Van der Sar's right-hand side and hung towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Just when the Chelsea fans were already standing up and raising their arms in celebration of the goal. A red figure rushed up and jumped so high that it could even be felt clearly. There was a noticeable glide in the air as he slammed the ball into the net and slammed it out before it went into the net.

"Paul Scholes!!!!!!!"

Manchester United fans erupted in frantic shouts!

Scholes's rescue was simply too critical and morale-boosting, like a block in a basketball game, which suddenly lifted the atmosphere to a high and high tide.

"Beautiful shot. Great defense! This sentence of the commentator is the best summary of this attack and defense.

The game went on for 23 minutes, and the score was still 0:0!

Jonk gets the ball up front. He looked at Makelle, who had come up to defend him, and calculated the offensive line, and by Makellele's side, Essien was also ready to grab at any time. After Jonk shook a shot. Knocked the ball to Patrice Evra, who came up to pick it up.

Patrice Evra and Nemanja Vidic played a wall-to-wall link and the ball returned to his feet, but instead of passing, Evra suddenly accelerated to break through, much to the surprise of the Chelsea players, and after Evra broke through a few dozen metres along the flank, a big foot hoisted the ball into the box.

Carrick's header is ferried, Jonk has the ball. John Terry immediately came up and pestered him, with the Chelsea captain consistently touted by the English media as the best defender. It's a bit of an exaggeration, but John Terry is the best man to keep an eye on Jonker at the back for Chelsea.

Jonker stomped the ball under his feet and suddenly turned around with a pull ball, but Terry's reaction was not slow, the Chelsea captain took a step forward and stuck his position, and after Jonker made an illusion of a breakthrough to the left, he gave the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo on the right.

Cristiano Ronaldo, under the close interference of Carvalho, pulled the football beautifully, dodged the angle of the shot, and shot with his feet, the angle of the shot was very awkward, Cech tried his best to jump up, and barely saved the football from the bottom line.

Manchester United's 3rd corner since the break!

Paul Scholes took a corner and he drove it from the front post, but it was flat and the ball was headed out by Frank Lampard in front of the post.

The ball didn't go far, Essien came up and drove the ball out, but Vidic came up, he chested the ball and hoisted the ball into the box again, Carrick headed the goal, but the ball hit the back of Ballack's head and bounced out, Scholes chested the ball on the touchline, he looked up and saw Jonk reaching out in the middle of the box to ask, and Ginger Head immediately crossed the ball over.

Immediately after the pass, Scholes ran towards the penalty area, his movement attracted the attention of the Chelsea backline, and Jonker also stepped on the ball with his right foot, knocked the ball to the left with his heel, and then turned and ran past the left side of Terry, who was defending him, and at this time, the ball also came in, less than half a metre in front of Jonker.

"Incredible fit! Manchester United showed a breathtaking display of artistic football. The commentators had to shout in amazement as they saw Jonker's heel knock the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who also knocked the ball with his heel, a beautiful heel knock against the wall.

Jonker flicked the ball to the side, and then an acceleration passed past Makelele, and then just when everyone thought Jonk was going to cut inside, Jonk got up and passed the ball into the box with his right foot.

The ball flew over the heads of a group of Manchester United players and Chelsea players, and on the flank, everyone saw Wayne Rooney coming up to receive the ball, while the Chelsea defenders were behind Rooney!

A Chelsea player raised his hand to signal that Rooney was offside, but the linesman at the far end was unmoved, and he saw it clearly that when Jonker's pass was kicked, Rooney was still half a step behind Lampard, who was defending him, but when the ball fell, Rooney suddenly stepped forward and left Lampard behind while winning the ball.

"No offside! No offside!! Jonk's pass was just rightly timed! Their best buddy!! Manchester United's chance! ”

Wayne Rooney stopped the ball well and cut inside the box before Frank Lampard could interfere from behind.

There was chaos at the back of the Chelsea defence, with John Terry shouting for his team-mates to defend, and he kept Carvalho in front of goal while he headed for Wayne Rooney.

Rooney lifted his right foot and made a motion to shoot, Terry immediately blocked, the little fat man was just a feint, his right foot touched the ball, but a low flat ball was passed, the ball was fast and flat, and rolled towards the back point.

Carvalho stretched out his leg to stop and the ball rolled past his feet!

A red figure appeared at the back post, and he stabbed his foot before Cech pounced on the football!

The ball swept past Cech's fingertips and into the net with a screak of brushing!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAL!!!!!” (To be continued......)
