Football King Bale - Chapter 556
After reversing Braga at home to usher in the Champions League three-game winning streak, Manchester United has raised the Champions League unbeaten record to 30 games!
This is a great record, because in the Champions League, it is very difficult to maintain unbeaten games with more than double digits, let alone the number of 30 games.
The second longest unbeaten record in the Champions League is also maintained by Manchester United. In the Manchester United team led by Ronaldo, they have created a record of 25 undefeated horrors.
Five days after ending the third round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United once again ushered in a tough battle. In the 9th round of the Premier League, they will visit Stamford Bridge Stadium and challenge the Blues Chelsea.
This game is the top two teams in the league standings, and it is also the confrontation between the Premier League with the fewest goals conceded (Chelsea lost 6 goals in 8 league games) and the team with the most goals (Manchester United scored 31 goals in 8 league games). The only remaining three teams in the Premier League remain unbeaten. The other team that remains unbeaten is Manchester City (5 wins and 3 draws).
Missing the Premier League title for three consecutive years, Chelsea has a lot of pressure up and down. At present, they have a good record. As long as they beat Manchester United, they will overtake Manchester United to the top of the standings, which makes the Chelsea team’s fighting intentions very strong.
In this game, Chelsea’s Lampard and Terry were sidelined with injury and Torres took the single arrow. Manchester United side, except for the captain Vidic who will continue to miss many games due to injuries, there are no injuries, the lineup is relatively neat.
In the face of such a battle involving the top spot, Ferguson naturally did not dare to neglect, Manchester United played with the strongest lineup. In fact, on Tuesday night in the Champions League game, Ferguson sent a substitute lineup at home, just to stay focused for this focus battle.
Manchester United still play 433 formation on the road, goalkeeper De Gea, four guards from left to right are Evra, Evans, Ferdinand and Rafael. In the midfield, Carrick and Modric dragged behind. Ned was ahead, and the three forwards were a combination of Bell, Van Persie and Rooney. On the bench were Phil Jones, Valencia, Ashley Young, Kanter, Pogba, Giggs and Hernandez.
Chelsea are out of the 4231 formation, goalkeeper Cech, four guards from left to right are Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Ivanovic, Mikel and Lamy Luis partnered with a midfielder, Mata, Oscar and Hazard lined up, and Torres became the center.
………………
In the sound of Stamford Bridge Stadium, Chelsea launched an attack from the beginning. But it was Manchester United who first created the threat.
In the second minute, Manchester United played a fast attack. Bell, Van Persie and Rooney made three arrows. Carrick sent a very penetrating pass in the middle and penetrated Chelsea’s defense.
Van Persie received Carrick’s straight ball about 30 meters from the goal in front of the penalty area. Because Bell and Rooney were pulling on the wings, Van Persie faced little pressure. After seeing the ball, he saw a good chance and came directly A long shot.
Van Persie’s chance to hit the goal is good, but the quality of his foot shot is not too good. Although the strength and speed are not bad, but the angle is not widened, there is not much threat to Cech, who has experienced the battle, Catch the ball easily.
Chelsea immediately attacked, but their shot still did not threaten the goal guarded by De Gea. Instead, in the next attack, Manchester United unexpectedly took the lead on the road.
In the 4th minute, Manchester United played perfectly in the frontcourt. Sneijder scored in the middle and directly hit Ivanovic on the left. The Serbian defender couldn’t keep up with Bell at all. After Bell used Ivanovic to speed up, he grabbed Chelsea’s defender and put the ball to the right.
Rooney and Modric, who inserted later, cooperated on the right and rushed into the penalty area from the side to return to the right. Van Persie scored a right foot shot from 10 meters and hit the right post to rebound. The ball just hit David Louise. In the goal net, Manchester United relied on a goal of 1-0.
The Chelsea team at home is naturally unwilling to fall behind and continue to fight back. However, in the face of Manchester United’s high pressure, Chelsea is very difficult to play. Although I had the chance to hit the ball to the frontcourt, they were not very threatening. Ivanovic dropped a shovel on the side of the road and caused Evra to be injured. Ferguson got up on the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction.
In the 12th minute, Manchester United made a quick counterattack again. After Raphael scored the ball on the right wing, he found Bell, who had just changed position to the right. Bell took the ball to break through Ashley Cole, and then sent an accurate cross, Van Persie At 7 meters, he scored a right foot shot and scored his own seventh league goal of the season. It was also his 50th Premier League away goal. Manchester United led 2-0.
………………
As a guest, Manchester United led by two goals in just ten minutes. Such a score made Chelsea players very depressed, but I have to say that this Chelsea team is indeed very powerful. Especially in their midfield, not only do they have an advantage in numbers, but the players’ ability is also not weaker than Manchester United. Under the direction of Di Matteo, Chelsea and Manchester United competed in the midfield, and relying on the advantage of the number and the atmosphere of the home field, they quickly suppressed Manchester United in the midfield and won the dominance on the field.
In the 23rd minute, Carrick knocked down Ramirez and was yellow carded by the referee Krattenberg. After 1 minute, Ramirez took a free kick from 42 meters away and shot directly from the bottom left corner of the goal. De Gea was blocked by his foot. Immediately, the front edge of Hazard’s penalty area used a foot technique to shake the angle and shot 22 meters away from the right post.
Of course, Manchester United is not completely behind, they even nearly scored another goal, rewriting the score on the court to 3:0.
In the 30th minute, De Gea made a big foot kick. David Luiz made a poor header when Van Persie interfered. Rooney took the ball into the penalty area and shot was blocked by Cahill. Then he shot again and was blocked by Cole Out of the bottom line.
Lu Xiaofan’s condition is not very good today, and his mood is a little irritable. Just these two shots, in fact, if he handles a little calmer, he can score goals.
In the 35th minute, Chelsea also missed a great opportunity to score. Crossing near the bottom line of Mikel’s right, Evans made a clearance and nearly got an own goal.
In the next corner attack, Chelsea almost broke again. Cahill took Mata to take a corner kick to grab a header and was blocked by De Gea on the goal line. The ball rubbed the right post and jumped out of the bottom line.
In the 42nd minute, Torres took Mata to pass the header from the left side of the penalty area and was blocked by De Gea.
However, before the end of the first half, Chelsea scored. In the 44th minute, Mata took a free kick with a left foot from 24 meters away and scored a goal from the left corner of the goal. He scored 4 goals and assisted 5 times in the last 5 rounds. The Spanish midfielder is in good condition.
Immediately, De Gea’s big-footed ball was intercepted and the midfield was intercepted. Torres put the ball straight into the penalty area. Mata inserted a left foot shot at 8 meters and was blocked by De Gea’s body. Torres received a yellow card for a foul on Kanter during the anti-robbing process. 0
In the first half of the match, Manchester United led Chelsea 2-1.
………………
Chelsea continued to strengthen the offense in the second half and equalized in the 53rd minute.
At that time, Chelsea launched a siege in the midfield and Modric chose to pass back under pressure, but the deadly thing was that Evans appeared distracted on the court, allowing Mata to grab Modric’s return pass before him. Immediately, Mata passed the ball on the right and passed the ball. Ferdinand defensive Torres headed the ball to make a poor landing. Oscar took the ball on the left and passed the ball. Ramirez pressed Carrick on the edge of the penalty area and shot the earth overhead. .
Chelsea’s morale soared, and in the cheering of more than 40,000 home team fans at Stamford Bridge Stadium, a tidal attack was launched towards Manchester United’s goal.
As the situation tilted towards Chelsea, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
In the 63rd minute, Van Persie went straight to the ball to find Bell, and Bell, who started faster, grabbed the ball before Ivanovic. Ivanovic watched that Bell was about to slip away from the front, fouling from behind in anxiety.
All of this happened under the eyes of the referee Krattenberg~www.mtlnovel.com~ He of course bluntly showed a red card to Ivanovic and sent the Serbian defender off the court.
Di Matteo on the sidelines was extremely angry. He was very dissatisfied with the referee’s penalty this time. He thought it was just an inadvertent loss and he should not show the red card directly. He even hugged the fourth referee. But in the end, the head referee ignored the protest from the sidelines. Ivanovic was sent off the court with frustration, and Chelsea could only fight with 10 players.
Afterwards, Bell took a free kick. He took a free kick from 25 meters away and missed the goal slightly.
In the 65th minute, Ferguson replaced Rooney with Hernandez, while Bell’s position was withdrawn later, and the Manchester United formation was changed to the traditional 442. This seems to have weakened Bell’s threat to Chelsea’s goal, but he has gained more space for activity.
Chelsea was then forced to make adjustments, and Aspiri Quetta replaced Oscar.
Although Chelsea played one less player on the court, they did not admit it. In the cheering of the home fans, you came and went with Manchester United and did not fall.
However, it is said that people who are out of luck drinking cold water will stop their teeth, and Chelsea is like this today.
In the 68th minute, Torres scored from the right rib in the frontcourt. After Evans dropped the tackle, Torres fell. The referee Krattenberg whistled and Torres slammed and then gave a yellow card. Can play against 9 players.
Chelsea’s punishment for this penalty from Krattenberg was angered, and the Blues fans on the stands of Stamford Bridge Stadium even sent a booing booing to him.
Judging from the slow motion, the Blue Army’s anger may make sense. Because in slow motion, Evans did encounter Torres.
