The 231st Hour of Crisis

After the resumption of the game, Chelsea's backline was very tight against him, especially Ivanovic's close marking made Jonk very uncomfortable, he was not familiar with the Serbian defender, and now it looks like he is indeed very strong.

However, the shot just now, although it didn't go in, still made Jonker's confidence greater, you know, in the first few rounds of the league, his feet were not very good, how to shoot no matter how he didn't feel it, but just now he felt good, when he shot that kick, he felt that the ball was there, but unfortunately, it hit the crossbar.

Jonker believes that as long as his form returns, he will always find an opportunity to score a goal with his skill and pace to attack the Chelsea defence. Today, he is the main point of attack for Manchester United, and of course, Owen can also play a role in containing the Chelsea defence, but the two are not tacit because they rarely partner together.

Nani's corner was driven into the box, Jonk pushed the ball into the no-man's land on the left side of the penalty line, Scholes stopped the ball slightly, faced Lampard's up-and-coming tackle, suddenly flicked the ball to the right, and then shook off the gap and fired straight at goal.

'Ginger Head' has the ability to score from a distance, his shot, although there is no angle on goal, but full of strength, Cech did not dare to hold the ball, in case he got rid of it, it would be troublesome, for the sake of safety, Cech lifted the ball off the crossbar.

There was a round of applause at Stamford Bridge, who certainly applauded Scholes' long-range shot, but for a brilliant save from Cech.

Nani took another corner kick and Jonker jumped to his feet and squeezed past Terry next to him to grab the spot. Shake your head and hit the goal!

Petr Cech lunged at the ball, but he didn't!

Chelsea fans in the stands were stunned. In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm, and the football was slightly over the crossbar.

Jonker sees the ball high. Depressed yelled, this sudden roar, startled Terry beside him, thinking that he was actually grabbed by Jonk just now, Terry shook his head, he felt that Jonk was really in good shape today, and it was not easy to deal with.

Although there is still no goal to score, but. Manchester United's attacking campaign has formed a siege of the Chelsea goal, especially with Jonker's good form, and the United fans in the visiting stands at Stamford Bridge finally feel their eyebrows raised. Jonker's watch is like a clarion call for Manchester United's counter-attack.

Although the number of Manchester United fans is small, the noise created by Manchester United fans is so powerful that it even makes people wonder if Manchester United scored the equalizer.

Manchester United's attacks followed.

Jonk receives a pass from Nani up front. With a padded chest, followed by a lob, he accelerated, breaking through Ballack.

Bosingwa came up at once. The two are entangled. Jonk held the ball at his feet, and Bosingwa had a hard time breaking the ball and was afraid of Jonck's free-kick. And did not dare to foul.

Branislav Ivanovic came up to help Bosingva defend, and he and Bosingwa went one after the other. He tried his best and couldn't get the ball off Jonker's feet.

'He's really good with the ball. The football was glued to his feet. Lineker exclaimed.

Seeing that Bosingwa and Branislav Ivanovic combined could not break the ball, Lampard also came, two did not work, then three.

At this point, looking down from the stands, it was almost impossible to see Jonker, who looked chaotic surrounded by three Chelsea players.

That's when people saw the football coming out, and it was an empty spot, and Owen was there.

"Unbelievable, how he got the football out!"

Jonker's pass was so sudden that the Chelsea backline was completely pinned down by him, and there was no one around Owen to defend, but Owen himself seemed to be unprepared for the ball, he beat the ball and shot with his feet, a little lacking in confidence, and Cech made a leap to save the ball off the line.

In the exclamation of the Chelsea fans for the rest of their lives, Ferguson on the sidelines jumped angrily, and Owen's single goal did not score, you know, this is the best scoring opportunity after the opening of Manchester United!

Irving was even more annoyed, he lowered his head and kicked twice, and then gave a thumbs up to Jonker, and the ball was passed beautifully.

Beautiful, indeed!

Slow-motion playback——

Caught between the three, Jonker keenly caught Owen's space and flicked the ball back with his left foot, which allowed Lampard to reach for the hook and then lick it with a beautiful heel that rolled out between Boshingwa's legs behind him and into Owen's feet.

"It's a wonderful, artistic pass."

Nani's corner was directly won by Cech this time.

When Owen shot just now, Scolari felt a chill and was relieved to see Cech save the football. However, the Brazilian coach also appreciates Jonker's performance, such foot skills and ball control, as well as beautiful observation, in his opinion, can only appear in Brazilian players, and Jonker's table is so good.

It can be said that Jonker, who has been in a slump since the start of the league, is worthy of the title of 'the world's No. 1 striker' at this time, of course, what he lacks is to score goals, and only goals are the most convincing.

During the summer transfer, Scolari also asked Manchester United about the possibility of a transfer for Jonker, but the result was a mess, and Ferguson was determined not to sell.

However, Chelsea's next attack almost extended the scoreline.

This is Deco rushing forward with the ball in front of Gary. Neville's defense, after Deco dummered a shot, really raised his foot and spun the football towards the goal. This is a bit similar to a free kick with inward rotation in the near corner, which makes the goalkeeper very uncomfortable, there are many people in front of the goal, and the goalkeeper does not dare to attack, but if he does not attack, it is even more uncomfortable to passively defend the opponent's header.

Van der Sar gritted his teeth, or attacked in advance, almost at the moment of his attack, Drogba jumped high, wanting to shake his head to attack the goal, and Van der Sar's reaction was faster than the fiber, a slap to shoot the football out, Drogba headed, however, Van der Sar did not shoot the football far. Anelka fell to the ground and slotted away, and this time Van der Sar couldn't do anything about it. Fortunately, the football rolled out of the bottom line by grazing the post.

Goal kicks.

Seeing that the first half of the game was coming to an end, the score on the field was still 1-0 up for Chelsea.

It was Chelsea attacking. But Joe. Cole's pass was tackled by Hargreaves and United quickly counter-attacked, Nani received Hargreaves' pass and used his speed to dribble the ball some distance, and in the face of Ashley Cole, who was chasing all the way, he made a sharp stop past the Chelsea left-back and then passed the ball.

The ball was passed to Jonker!

Jonk lifted his thigh and padded the ball forward, and then he was about to force a break through from Ivanovic!

Ivanovich's reaction was also not slow. He took a half-step forward and turned sideways to squeeze Jonker away, keep the ball behind, and at worst touch the ball off the touchline to stop United's attack.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! Unbelievable. The narrator was full of praise.

Just now, when Ivanovic was about to break the ball, Jonker deftly hooked the ball back, and then flicked the ball outward with his left foot. He flashed over the other side, then accelerated past Ivanovic.

Terry defends Irving on the other side, now. There is no Chelsea defender left in front of Jonker, and he is flat in front of him.

Single-handed!

Petr Cech made a decisive move, the Czech goalkeeper. Always considered one of the best goalkeepers on the planet.

Jonk is naturally aware of Cech's quality, but for him. Inside the forbidden area, is his territory. Not Cech, not without a goal against Cech?

There was a heat in his chest, and at this time, even two Cech couldn't stop him!

Jonk pulled the ball and lifted his foot to pretend to shoot, tricking Cech into falling to the ground to save, only to dunk the ball back and then volley.

Everyone saw the ball arc, hit the inside of the far post, and bounce into the goal!

“Gooooooooooooooal!!! Manchester United equalised!! Jonker! He scored his first league goal of the season! Break the goal drought! In today's game, his watch is like a different person compared to the previous games. He's in the right shape, he's going to score, he says he's going to score, and he's going to score! That's a lot of energy! ”

After the goal, Jonker broke free from his teammates' pull and ran wildly, he rushed to the corner flag like a fierce leopard, and then flew up and kicked the corner flagpole, and then he put his left index finger in front of his mouth and yelled: "Now, shut up for me!" ”

He told those who criticized and mocked him to shut up!

Scoring goals is the most powerful weapon to shut up these people!

The score of the first half of the game was finally fixed at 1:1, which was a fair score overall, and both teams had a good first half. Manchester United, in particular, has been in good form, which has led to the offensive of Manchester United.

Back in the dressing room, Ferguson's first words were a criticism of the defence at the back: "I don't know what you're thinking, the Chelsea attack can tear apart our defence. I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to it! Chelsea are more attacking than they used to be, I said that before the game, maybe some people disagreed, but now, no one has a problem. ”

The four defenders plus Hargreaves and Fletcher all bowed their heads and remained silent before the game, and before the game, Ferguson repeatedly stressed not to concede the goal, and the first thing in this game was not to concede first, but unfortunately, there were still goals conceded. Thankfully, Jonker's goal equalised late in the first half.

Speaking of which, Manchester United still has a psychological advantage when facing Chelsea, but the more this is the case, Manchester United really can't afford to lose this game.

The season has started poorly and a defeat to Chelsea would leave United seven points behind Chelsea with a game in hand. Although these 7 points are not too big a problem for the whole season, if Manchester United loses, their morale will inevitably be hit, and it is not known when they will be able to get out of the trough.

"In this game, I say it again, you must win, you have to show a little momentum, when you defend, you don't give an inch, and when you attack, it's like a hungry wolf biting food." Ferguson's stern eyes glared at everyone.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was a bit oppressive, and everyone was silent. In fact, in the first half their table was still good, although they conceded a goal. But in the end, it was also the equalizer before the end of the first half. And, in Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and missed. With Wayne Rooney suspended, it's even more difficult.

But. In the face of the current leader Chelsea, as well as the situation in the standings, Ferguson had to say harshly, Manchester United cannot afford to lose this game, this is not Ferguson's alarmism.

"Offensively, Michael [Irving], you need to be more active."

Owen looked up at Ferguson and lowered his head, but he didn't say anything to retort. He did have some trouble in the first half, especially the one-shot ball did not go in, which made Owen a little annoyed until now, it was not easy for him to get the chance to start, Manchester United's main striker who could not beat was the partner of Jonker and Rooney, if it were not for Rooney's suspension in today's game, Ferguson would not have sent Owen to start.

As for Jonker, his watch today made Ferguson happy, and the old Scottish man was more demanding. "Jonker, you also want you to step back a little bit and support some Owen appropriately." Jonker played an excellent first half of the game and the second half. Chelsea will certainly be more mindful of the marking of Jonker, which could be an opportunity for Ou Wenchuang.

Jonk nodded, indicating that he understood. Feed Owen the ball, it's nothing. He's fed Wayne Rooney before, of course. Most importantly, Jonk feels like he's in good shape and can do the job.

Ferguson explained some details to pay attention to in the second half, and at this time, the assistant coach reminded him that it was time to play.

"Alright, that's all! I repeat at the end that this game is important and must be won! Be sure to take it! Ferguson gave one final reprimand, then waved his hand and motioned for the players to come on.

On the other hand, Scolari was also cheering for his disciples, asking them to work harder and try to score as many goals as possible in the second half of the game to exceed the score.

He was quite satisfied with Chelsea's performance, and he didn't blame the players too much for the goal conceded, and the explosion of a star like Jonker is not something that 'manpower' can resist.

Scolari considered that although Jonker is in good shape, after all, Manchester United only has one real point of attack, and his attacking ability has been affected, so Chelsea still has to crush Manchester United with attack, besides, this is Chelsea's home stadium, and Chelsea will try to win this game.

As for Owen, the other scorer of Manchester United today, Scolari really didn't pay much attention to it, Owen's form has declined greatly, when was the last time he scored in the league?

At the start of the second half, Chelsea stormed but did not receive any results.

In this game, Ferguson's tactics for Manchester United were to focus on defense, and when Chelsea's attack was fierce just now, even Jonker took the initiative to retreat to his own half to assist in the defense.

Everyone understands that you can't concede any more goals, otherwise it will be difficult to play.

Manchester United are looking to counter-attack after holding on to what Chelsea have started.

As soon as one of Chelsea's attacks ended, United began to fight back quickly, Nani drove the ball forward at high speed, and he was pushed down from behind by Bosingwa, who desperately returned to the defense, but Nani still passed the ball out, referee Michael. Reire shouted a whistle and made a gesture to attack in his favor and the game continued.

Fletcher drove the ball into the box, which caused chaos in the Chelsea penalty area, Hargreaves wanted to head the ball at the front post, and under Terry's pressure, the back of the head rubbed, the ball flew to the back post, Jonker judged the right spot, and he showed an amazing bounce to beat Ivanovic's header, which was a header.

This time, though, luck was on Chelsea's side, as Petr Cech barely managed to hold the ball up, but it hit the crossbar and bounced back into the back of the net, where Petr Cech quickly rolled and crawled to hold the ball under him.

"Nice save! Despite the wolf's bèi, Cech kept Chelsea in the back of the net, but Chelsea had to be careful, as the Reds counter-attacked sharply. The London narrator said with trepidation.

Seeing that Manchester United's attack was over, referee Michael . Reire walked up to Bosingwa, who had just pushed Nani in his back, and showed a yellow card to the Chelsea right-back.

This drew a wave of boos from the main stand at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea manager Scolari was unhappy with the yellow card, and the Brazilian head coach protested loudly on the sidelines. Reire showed a yellow card. That's when I shut up.

The situation on the field has changed dramatically.

This way. Jonk almost scored his second goal of the game to put his team ahead of the score, the next moment. Chelsea's attack is back at us.

Deco delivered a beautiful scalpel-like pass and Drogba won the ball in the box.

Brown clung to Drogba, one hand still tugging at his clothes, just to prevent the Ivorian striker from turning around.

Drogba is already considered the world's top goalscorer, and one of the reasons why this African 'monster' can be favored by many people and score many goals is that he is not afraid to take the ball with his back, and he always has a way to turn around. Although the people are tall and big, but. This does not mean that Drogba's foot skills are not good, on the contrary, his foot skills are quite good, and with a strong physique, Drogba is like a heavy tank in the penalty area, and this tank also shows surprising dexterity.

Amid the huge cheers of the Chelsea fans, Drogba leaned on Brown, hooked the ball with his right foot and then spun around sharply, but the ball seemed to stick to his right foot. Almost at the same time, Brown broke the ball with his foot, but Brown, who was clearly half a beat slower, kicked right on Drogba's right foot.

Drogba screamed and collapsed in the box.

"Penalty!"

"Penalty!"

"Fake fall!"

"Die. Third-rate actors! ”

In the stands at Stamford Bridge, there was a sudden explosion and it was the Chelsea fans at home who shouted 'penalty'. Naturally, it's the away Manchester United fans who shout 'fake falls', but. The Manchester United fans were alone, and they shouted. Drowned in the blue ocean.

Referee Michael. Reel's whistle blew and he burst into the box and pointed to the penalty spot, which he gestured clearly and it was a penalty.

Brown shouted to referee Michael Brown. Reire defended that he knelt there and begged for mercy, "I didn't mean to, I went for the ball." ”

"I know you're going for the ball, but you tackle his foot!" Michael. As he spoke, Reley pulled into his pocket, and he was going to pull out the cards, not just the penalty ball, but the cards.

Jonk hurriedly rushed up to intercede for Brown, he saw that the penalty was immutable, and instead of dwelling on this irrevocable decision, it was better to intercede for Brown. Reire showed Brown a red card, and that was bad.

"Mr. referee, you also said that he didn't mean it, a yellow card is enough." Jonk shouted. However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Michael. Reelet pulled out the card in his pocket, and the color was red!

Jonker's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Hell! Damn it! He did it on purpose, will he be a referee!! Ferguson was furious on the sidelines, and he didn't expect Michael. Reire not only awarded a penalty, but also showed a red card straight to Brown.

'History is always a striking coincidence, last season Chelsea were awarded a penalty in the match between Chelsea and Manchester United, and it was also Brown who fouled Drogba, but Drogba was suspected of faking the penalty on that time. Let's take a look at the foul -- "it's a penalty!" Lineker said. There was nothing wrong with the penalty, it was right, but the red card was a bit too harsh. ”

"Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson spoke to Michael before the game. Reire was pleased to be the referee for the game, but I don't think Mr. Ferguson would say that after the game. Taibbi teased that he saw the referee Michael. Reire rushed to the sidelines, showed a red card to Alex Ferguson, who had just protested loudly, and sent the United manager into the stands.

As the saying goes: the house leak coincides with rain.

Nowhere is this more appropriate than for Manchester United.

Jonk was also dumbfounded, he was pleading for Brown, the referee ignored it, and after awarding a penalty, he sent Brown off with a red card, Brown had not yet walked to the sidelines, and the referee somehow rushed to the sidelines and showed a red card to Ferguson.

He didn't know what was going on, but I think it was Ferguson who was dissatisfied with the referee's decision and said something excessive, but Jonker didn't hear what Ferguson said. How could Reire hear that? I have to admire the referee's hearing.

"It's unthinkable, Michael. Rille awarded Chelsea a penalty that was fine, but he showed Brown a red card and now Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson has also been sent to the stands, which is a real blow to the Reds. Lineker said his words were full of concern for Manchester United, who in his opinion would be almost impossible to turn around once Chelsea had scored the penalty.

In such a heavyweight match, the difficulty of 10 players can be imagined, not to mention that Ferguson was sent to the stands, and Manchester United lacked the backbone. That's right, it's the backbone, and that foul-mouthed old Scottish man is the real backbone of Manchester United, and as long as Alex Ferguson is on the sidelines, the players on the pitch will feel a lot more at ease.

Now, for Manchester United, this game is really dangerous. (To be continued......)
