Chapter 473 When the Big Bus Was Born

Slow-motion replay showed that Chelsea's situation inside and outside the penalty area was simply terrible. The footage showed that Dong Fangzhuo was entangled with Terry and Gala in the penalty area, and then rushed out of the penalty area to receive the ball. As a result, Terry bumped into him, and the two men confronted each other. Together, Terry knocked down Dong Fangzhuo. During the fall, Dong Fangzhuo's right foot stepped on Terry's tibia.

After watching the replay, Lineker breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There is no problem. The kick was not intentional. Terry was asking for trouble."

"Such confrontations will occur throughout the game, with both sides fighting for their lives."

Soon, the Blues captain stood up again and continued to participate in the game. He is indeed a strong man in the eyes of Chelsea and England.

The whole audience burst into applause!

"You can still come back."

Dong Fangzhuo glanced at Terry and ignored Terry. He stood by the wall with his back to the goal. Ronaldo stood in front of the free kick for a long time and finally fired the anti-aircraft cannon.

Chelsea won the ball back, and Dong Fangzhuo quickly retreated, trying to prevent Robben from dribbling the ball on the right, but Robben was like a gust of wind, dribbling the ball across the half-court. Dong Fangzhuo finally gave up the chase, but E Fra then simply brought down Robben!

Chelsea also won a free kick. Robben passed a direct free kick from the right. Galas's header from far away was cleared by Vidic in front of the goal.

Chelsea, who were gaining momentum and scoring points, continued to apply pressure, trying to kill Manchester United at once. In the 14th minute, Essien made a direct pass. Drogba knocked Ferdinand away from the right side of the penalty area and then shot hard from a small angle on the edge of the penalty area, but the ball missed. out.

A minute later, Drogba returned to the center and leaned on Carrick to pass the ball straight to Robben. Robben used his violent speed to instantly get rid of Vidic and broke into the right rib of the penalty area to volley from 14 yards!

But being too fast prevented him from kicking the ball, and his shot lacking power and angle was easily confiscated by Van der Sar.

Chelsea's offense was too strong. Although Manchester United was one goal behind, they had to retreat to strengthen their defense.

Drogba, who has played for nearly two seasons, has become very comfortable in the opponent's penalty area. Although Vidic and Ferdinand take turns serving Drogba, and other teammates help, Drogba is still like a dinosaur in Manchester United's penalty area. Mix in the restricted area.

In the 18th minute, Giggs fouled Drogba in the backcourt. Lampard's free kick from 30 yards on the right was blocked by the wall.

It wasn't until the 21st minute that Rooney made a breakthrough on the left and was tackled by Ferreira. Ronaldo took a direct long-range free kick from 30 yards, but the ball was confiscated by Cech at the left post.

"Although they were beaten by Chelsea, Manchester United has not lost confidence so far. Just like when they played against Chelsea before, they knew they were suffering a loss, but they still held on to their defense. With Dong on the court, they seemed to be particularly cohesive. "

Two minutes later, Rooney staggered and passed the ball to Carrick surrounded by Ferreira and Makelele. Carrick immediately handed the ball to Ronaldo on the right. Facing Essien, C Ronaldo chose to run wildly in the middle, and Terry had to step forward to block it. Ronaldo fired a long shot in advance. Cech fell to the ground and saved the ball. Dong Fangzhuo dragged Gallas to Cech, but Cech The reaction was quite quick, and he punched the ball again...

Essien, who rushed back to the penalty area, did not dare to neglect and cleared the ball.

call,

There were exclamations in the stands.

But the danger in Chelsea's penalty area has not been resolved yet! The Manchester United players still got the ball. Park Ji-sung intercepted the ball on the right and immediately handed it to Giggs who came to meet him. Giggs went straight to the left side of the penalty area. At this time, Dong Fangzhuo only had one Gallas next to him!

Gallas followed Dong Fangzhuo, but Terry was still on the right and couldn't catch up at all. Dong Fangzhuo would not miss such a one-on-one opportunity, and while leaning Gallas behind him, he broke into the left side of the penalty area.

Although Gala did not follow him, he could not stop Dong Fangzhuo from taking action.

The latter did not observe any more, but directly passed the ball to the middle from a small angle! Cech actually failed to block it! Cristiano Ronaldo, who was outflanking the empty goal in the middle, almost knocked the ball into the goal!

"gooooal!"

"goooooooooal!"

"The score is even,

Both sides are back on the same starting line! "

"Dong's pass, Ronaldo scores!"

Stamford Bridge fell silent for a moment, with only a small group of Manchester United fans cheering. A goal scored by an away team can always silence the home fans.

"This equalizer brought out the spirit of Manchester United and reflected their tenacious fighting spirit. This is what they should be. They have played very well all season. They cannot be denied just because they lost one game!"

"Go on, as long as they win against Chelsea, they will be champions."

"Look at Mourinho's expression now, he must be very nervous..."

Ronaldo looked very happy and roared in celebration.

His poor performance in the Champions League semi-finals was widely criticized by the media. Now he can finally vent his emotions.

The game resumed and Chelsea continued to maintain a high level of pressure on Manchester United.

Ferdinand made a mistake in passing the ball in the backcourt. Essien intercepted the ball and tried to pass it directly to Drogba, but his partner Vidic made a key tackle and interception.

A minute later, Manchester United launched a quick counterattack. Rooney's vision was very broad and he directly dispatched the ball from the left to the right. He seemed to pass and shoot from 28 yards on the right. Cech calmly confiscated the ball.

In the 29th minute, Giggs passed a direct pass to Park Ji-sung on the right side of the penalty area. Gallas stretched out his kick and poked the ball out while running. Cristiano Ronaldo immediately followed up with another pass that was beautifully blocked by Ferreira.

Manchester United finally launched a sustained offensive. Mourinho was so anxious on the sidelines that he had to let the team retreat again, and then got a chance to counterattack.

Robben crossed Giggs on the right, quickly advanced along the right sideline, and then passed diagonally to Lampard in front of the penalty area. Lampard passed back immediately, and Essien shot wide from 25 yards in the middle.

After Van der Sar picked up the ball, he immediately kicked it to Neville. Neville rushed forward bravely and cooperated with Park Ji-sung twice in a row to reach the edge of Chelsea's penalty area, but Joe Cole blocked his shot in time. Moving forward, Neville finally knocked Park Ji-sung back, and then Makelele knocked Park Ji-sung down!

Makelele returned at the cost of a yellow card, finally stopping Manchester United's offense.

But now Manchester United clearly have the advantage.

In the 43rd minute, Rooney made a pass from the left. Carvalho tried to intercept the ball, but accidentally slipped!

The ball fell to Dong Fangzhuo's feet. Gala once again guarded Dong Fangzhuo alone. What he could do was to knock Dong Fangzhuo down immediately.

He is afraid!

Terry is not around and he lacks confidence!

The referee ran over and gave a verbal warning.

Cristiano Ronaldo directly took a long free kick. The ball hit Terry and failed to pose a threat. However, the ball bounced out and was passed by Giggs from the left. Ferreira headed the ball to clear the ball. Rooney was 25 yards from the right. The powerful shot was blocked by Cech and then confiscated.

Chelsea in the stands screamed for help. Manchester United's offensive momentum during this period was so strong that Chelsea almost went into hell.

"Well, if we can play with such momentum against Barcelona, ​​why worry about not making it to the final?"

"Is it true that without Dong, I won't be able to play football?"

In injury time, Giggs made a pass from the left, Vidic headed back, and Park Ji-sung headed over from 7 yards...

The first half is finally over!

1:1, both sides can't stand each other.

"..."

I don’t know why, but the Manchester United fans in front of the TV were not so happy, “Why did you go so early?”

"To beat Barcelona with such an attitude, ugh."

"Look at Dong Yi standing on the field, Rooney and Ronaldo seem to have changed."

"England is worried. Rooney is now accustomed to playing on the left wing. If you let him return to the center, he really can't play football."

※※※※

"Just fight like this!"

"Chelsea can't stand it anymore!"

“Stay focused and do your best!”

"The champion beckons!"

"Go and prove to the fans that we can win!"

Ferguson saw the hope of victory again and instilled the hope of victory in the players in the locker room.

On the other end, in the home locker room.

Mourinho is furious.

"have a look,"

“We’re a season ahead!”

"Are you going to give up the league championship in this game?"

"Go tell them not to dream!"

"To hell with them!"

"..."

※※※※

The second half restarted with no substitutions from either side.

However, Mourinho's tactics have changed, and Manchester United's drastic changes have also caused Chelsea's tactics to change dramatically.

"call,"

"Rarely."

"It's really rare."

"This is the first time I see Mourinho really using the bus tactics. "

"You see, apart from Drogba and Joe Cole and Robben, no one else is coming up."

"This is something you have never seen in previous games."

Dong Fangzhuo was caught in a tight siege and felt that Chelsea's heads were all around him. He also felt Chelsea's tactical changes. In two years, I have never faced a Chelsea team like this.

Is this the legendary bus tactic?

His teammates could no longer get the ball to his feet easily...

Mourinho's bus tactic was only really formed in Mourinho's second period, but today, it's earlier?

In the 48th minute, Rooney tried to break through Carvalho from the left, but the Portuguese made a key interception. A minute later, Dong Fangzhuo ran back to catch the ball and passed the ball, but Ronaldo missed the long shot.

Three minutes later, Neville passed Park Ji-sung, and Galas was given a yellow card for an intentional handball foul in the middle.

In the 53rd minute, Lampard fouled Giggs in front of the penalty area...

Mourinho's team almost gave up offense and concentrated on defense...

I have to say that this trick is very effective. Faced with the bus tactic, Manchester United has always been unable to score goals. In this era, the tactic that Mourinho figured out is still very new...

Ferguson kept raising his hand to look at his watch, and the time passed by minute by second.

In order to win the league championship, Mourinho's team played defense to the extreme.

Manchester United's players never gave up, patiently playing with the ball outside Chelsea's penalty area, trying to open up the defense and find a chance to score.

But Chelsea's defense is still impeccable.

Manchester United's attacks failed again and again, either being cleared away or being stopped by Chelsea's early foul in the midfield...

beep,

beep,

beep,

The whole game is over.

"Pooh!"

"It's so ugly..."
