Before the defeat to Arsenal, Manchester United were unbeaten in 34 games, two games in a row, the players were also a little tired, and Manchester United fans were able to accept that no team could never lose, but the fans could not accept a home defeat to Chelsea.

First, this is a home game, and the fans also want to save face, maybe they bragged in front of relatives and friends, but they lost, the second is that after losing, the points advantage is only two points, which is very dangerous, and the third is the consequence of Ferguson's full bench lineup, it can be said that the home team admits defeat, how can the fans not be annoyed.

After the game, there was a wave of accusations, complaints and complaints on the Internet, and the spearhead was pointed at Ferguson.

There are two main complaints from Manchester United fans, one is that Manchester United is almost secure to win the league title by drawing Chelsea, but Ferguson is on the bench to create suspense. Second, the advantage of Manchester United in the Champions League semifinals is actually not small, and there is no need to substitute all in the league.

The European media also had mixed reviews on Ferguson's choice, and the praising media believed that Ferguson's choice was very smart, although the advantage of the league became smaller, but the last two rounds of playing two relegation teams, the certainty of winning all was great, and after consuming Chelsea, the certainty of Champions League promotion was even greater.

The accusing media thinks that Ferguson is playing tricks, the league and the Champions League are very stable, but the home team loses like this, and the Champions League doesn't know how much it can increase the chances of winning, but the league championship is unstable, which is almost like death.

Alex Ferguson is a coach with a wealth of coaching experience, who is deliberate before making any decisions, and the outside comments have had no bearing on him, and he is now fully focused on the Champions League semi-final in midweek.

In Ferguson's 33 years in charge, he won 14 league titles, but only won two Champions League titles, for a coach of Ferguson's level, a few more league titles can not improve his historical status, and he can only rely on the Champions League to improve his position, so Ferguson now prioritizes the Champions League, then the league and the FA Cup.

Although the Champions League advantage is not small, with a 2-1 scoreline away from home being ideal, Chelsea will need to score two goals at Old Trafford to qualify, and Manchester United will not be allowed to score.

But Chelsea and Manchester United are at the same level, their desire for the Champions League title is stronger than Manchester United, and the advantage of one half is not impossible to catch, so Ferguson would rather trade the advantage of the league for the advantage of the Champions League.

Of course, Ferguson is also under a lot of pressure, and if there are really extreme situations and the league and the Champions League are reversed, he will become a big joke.

After the 36th round of the league, the attention of fans around the world has returned to the Champions League.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals begins with a match between Manchester United and Chelsea, with Manchester United waiting for Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Chelsea's morale has been boosted after beating Manchester United in the league at the weekend, and they are determined to beat Manchester United away to reach the Champions League final.

Rumours in the media that Chelsea owner Abou Abou gave manager Carlo Ancelotti an ultimatum before the game that he must win this semi-final or Ancelotti will have to step down.

Although this is just a rumour, fans believe it is likely to be true, and with Abou's character, he can definitely do it, and judging by Chelsea's performances this season, Ancelotti should indeed be sacked after losing this game.

Carlo Ancelotti clearly understands his situation, and after the end of the league he did not rest at all and immediately began to prepare for the Champions League game.

Carlo Ancelotti also made a rare call to the final in his pre-match press conference, calling on fans to support Chelsea at Old Trafford.

Three days later, Old Trafford finally welcomed Manchester United's old rivals Chelsea once again.

Different from the last league game, this time Ferguson lined up all the main lineup, with Rooney and Hernandez starting in the front, Gao Xiaodong, Fletcher, Carrick, Valencia in the midfield, Evra, Vidic, Ferdinand and O'Shea in the back, and goalkeeper Dutch Giraffe veteran Van der Sar

Most of Chelsea's main players played in the 36th round of the weekend against Manchester United, but this time Ancelotti had no other choice and still fought his entire squad to the end.

In the stands, flags flew and fans were packed, with Manchester United fans making up the vast majority and only one Chelsea fan in the stands.

The three sons of the United owner, Joel, Avram and Edouard were all in attendance to see for themselves their side reach the Champions League final for the second time since the takeover.

However, Chelsea owner Abou was not confident of qualifying, fearing humiliation by his opponents after exiting, so he did not come to the scene, but chose to watch live TV at home.

Once the game began, Manchester United, who were leading on aggregate, did not defend the counter-attack, but instead launched an attack on Chelsea first.

The Chelsea were not surprised, as they saw United field their full bench at the weekend and knew they were staying in the Champions League, and now they are waiting for their work, of course, to drag down their fitness with pressing and attacking.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is certainly not an idle man, he has guessed United's intentions and is ready to respond.

In the face of Manchester United's onslaught and full-pitch pressing, Chelsea did not adopt attacking tactics, they adopted a steady counter-attacking tactic, reducing their own consumption and trying to break the Manchester United goal with counter-attacks.

United didn't play Paul Scholes or Ryan Giggs in midfield today, but Carrick and Valencia, and Ferguson's aim was simple, to play fast and concise, while increasing the pace of the return to prevent Chelsea from attacking them.

Don't look at Manchester United without high school forwards, but Gao Xiaodong and Rooney are strong like a small tank, and the impact is very terrifying, although Hernandez does not have the strength of Rooney and Gao Xiaodong, but his running position is very flexible and fast, with the containment of Rooney and Gao Xiaodong, Hernandez can always run out of a better shooting position.

In the third minute of the first half, United took advantage of the pressing to get a chance.

Under pressure from Manchester United, Chelsea centre-back Alex stopped the ball a little too much, Rooney cut in from behind at high speed, knocked down Alex and stole the ball.

The Chelsea players all raised their hands for a foul on Wayne Rooney, but the referee ignored the Chelsea players' protests and allowed the game to continue.

Rooney, who broke the ball, only had the goal in mind, and under the pressure of Terry, Rooney quickly smashed into the penalty area along the ribs.

At this time, Gao Xiaodong had already arrived at the first time, and as long as Rooney passed back or horizontally, Gao Xiaodong could shoot directly.

However, Rooney didn't pass the ball, he changed the rhythm of the ball and suddenly got up and shot at goal.

Rooney's change of tempo deceived centre-back John Terry, who followed him, and when Rooney got up to shoot again, Terry didn't have time to block.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech was well prepared as he blocked Wayne Rooney's shot and the ball hit his side and was single-handedly slotted out by Cech.
