Restricted Superstar

After Gao Xiaodong scored, Chelsea were very impatient and they could not accept the result of the loss.

Chelsea speeded up the attacking rhythm, under the command of coach Boas, Chelsea increased the number of shots by midfielders.

Lampard, who has the strongest long-range shooting ability in Chelsea's midfielder, took a shot at about 30 meters first, and the ball was saved by goalkeeper De Gea.

Subsequently, Manchester United increased the marking of Lampard and did not give Lampard a chance to start easily.

Then Chelsea's Mata, Ramirez and Mereles all began to look for opportunities to shoot, instead of making the ball for the striker.

Ferguson saw Boas’s intentions, the old coach did not delay, and immediately let the defense line out to the premise, the forward line was recovered, not giving Chelsea players a chance to shoot from the front of the penalty area.

Although the front pressure of the defensive line can weaken the threat of Chelsea players from long-range shots, the space behind the defensive line is large, and the difficulty of opponent penetration is reduced.

It's just that Chelsea's midfielder is constantly shooting from long range, and even full-backs Ivanovic and Ashley Cole are looking for opportunities to shoot. Manchester United has to press it out. It will be troublesome if the opponent gets in.

Manchester United changed the defensive mode, but the impatient Chelsea people did not notice, or did not even think about changing their tactics accordingly, and they continued to "fight planes" outside Manchester United's penalty area.

Anderson and Fletcher are both very good running midfielders. Gao Xiaodong has a larger coverage area. Only Nani's defense is close to the midfielder. He has also become the main direction of Chelsea's attack.

First, Ivanovic relied on his physical superiority to press Naniche to the corner of the penalty area and volley vigorously. Then after Mata and Sturridge cooperated, Sturridge completed another kick to the side net. Shot.

Manchester United left-back Evra is an experienced veteran. He saw that Nani was struggling to defend and he immediately came to help defend.

The positions of Anderson and Fletcher also lean towards Nani, supporting Nani and preventing Nani from being attacked by opponents alone.

Manchester United's defense continued to adjust with Chelsea's offense, Chelsea missed a hit, and then there was no chance.

Manchester United's tight defense has given Chelsea a headache, but what makes them even more headache is Manchester United's efficient counterattack.

Chelsea often missed a two-footed threatening shot, and then was met with a high-quality counterattack from Manchester United.

As Chelsea put a lot of troops into the offense, although Manchester United counterattacked a small number of people, often only two people, Nani and Rooney, sometimes with Gao Xiaodong and Anderson, but there are not many players that Chelsea can come back to defense, and Manchester United has room to attack. It's big, and always get a good shot.

In the 40th minute of the game, Rooney received a score from Gao Xiaodong and nearly broke Chelsea's gate with a shot from Cech.

Under this blow, Chelsea's fanatical brain finally calmed down, and they realized that if they continue to fight like this, they will continue to lose the ball before the first half is over.

As far as the starters on the field are concerned, Chelsea is older than Manchester United and has more experience than Manchester United. After calming down, Chelsea reduced this inefficient long-range tactic and began to do short pass penetration at the front of Manchester United's penalty area.

Chelsea, like Manchester United, are good at hard bridge and hard horse play, and don't like short pass penetrating play. This is why Chelsea did not think of using it for a while after Manchester United gave Chelsea space.

However, Chelsea is not a player without exquisite skills. Mata is one of the more unusual in the Chelsea lineup, but now he is not the core of Chelsea. The core of Chelsea's offense is Lampard. Without Lampard's support, Mata is in control. Can't play Chelsea.

Now that Chelsea began to penetrate short passes, Mata's role immediately became apparent.

After continuous patient cooperation, Mata made a pass from the left, Lampard and Sturridge attracted Manchester United's defensive attention, Ramirez received the ball from the edge of the penalty area, and then vigorously volleyed with his left foot.

However, Ramirez's footwork is still not as good as that of the striker. This powerful shot went above the crossbar and did not pose too much threat to goalkeeper De Gea.

After De Gea opened the goal kick, the ball was snatched by Terry and the ball returned to Chelsea's feet again.

Terry passed the ball to Lampard. Lampard trusted Mata and passed the ball to him again, allowing him to create a shot.

Mata took the ball and broke through the wing. After attracting Anderson to help defend, he immediately crossed the ball to Lampard. Lampard stepped forward and made a shot, and then crossed to the wing to insert. Ashley Cole.

At this moment Gao Xiaodong was also attracted to the mid lane. After Ashley Cole came up, full-back Phil Jones was inexperienced. He felt that Gao Xiaodong was in the mid lane. He only defended against Ashley Cole's bottom. He didn't expect Ashley Cole. Make a quick cross cut, rubbing a shot at the back corner of the goal in the corner of the penalty area.

This is a very beautiful shot, the timing is very good, Gao Xiaodong desperately returned to intercept but failed to touch the ball.

Ashley Cole's footwork is very good, this kick is not strong, but the angle is very difficult, he hit the left corner of the column and the beam.

As Chelsea’s offense turned to Manchester United’s right side, De Gea also moved to the right. When Ashley Cole took another shot and shot to such a tricky position, De Gea could not go back.

De Gea could only stare at the trajectory of the ball and pray desperately: God bless God! Never enter, never enter!

Maybe it was De Gea's prayer that came to light, maybe it was Old Trafford that guarded the Red Devils, and Ashley Cole's inevitable kick hit the corner between the post and the crossbar again.

Bang!

The ball bounced out.

This small muffled sound was like a sledgehammer hitting the hearts of the Blues fans, and the hearts of the Blues fans were shattered like glass.

After the Manchester United live commentator exclaimed, they were very embarrassed and said: "Chelsea's luck is too bad, otherwise, the score should not be 2:0, it should be 2:2, it seems that Old Trafford Stadium is indeed not Chelsea’s blessed land, as a rookie coach, it is too difficult to win here. After all, Jose Mourinho is not the real Mourinho."

And He Hui’s comment is a bit murderous. He Shiren said: “Chelsea finally found the direction of attack. In fact, they should have done this a long time ago. After opening Manchester United’s defense, they should infiltrate, attack and infiltrate. Combination may create a greater threat, but now it is not a good phenomenon to hit the goal post frequently, because if you hit the goal post without scoring, it is very likely that the opponent will score a goal. This is a godsend and it will be a disaster."

Poet He did not make false claims, because after the ball hit the goal post and bounced out, it landed not far from Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong and Ramirez were going to grab the spot together, and Gao Xiaodong was faster. Under the pull of the two, Gao Xiaodong threw away Ramirez and got the ball one step ahead.
