At half-time, Ferguson didn't make too many changes to his line-up and style of play, he just corrected some of the details that came up in the first half of the players, telling them to attack first at the start of the second half to see if they could sneak one up, and if Chelsea were prepared, they continued to defend and counter-attack.

Carlo Ancelotti also did not make any changes to his line-up and style of play, although he did not reach his goal in the first half, scoring a goal, but the attack in the second half was still very threatening, close to the goal, Ancelotti believes that the lack of a goal is not a problem with his tactics, but a little bit of bad luck.

At the start of the second half, Chelsea wanted to build on the momentum of the first half, but they did not expect Manchester United to reverse the conservative stance of the first half and suddenly press the whole field.

Chelsea are not a team with delicate skills, they are also the masters of hard bridges, Manchester United's sudden pressing, Chelsea was caught off guard, and there was an immediate mistake, Alex was forced by Rooney, and passed the ball directly to Carrick's feet.

This time is very bad, among Chelsea's midfielders, only Gao Xiaodong and Carrick have the ability to pass the ball and vision, and it is easy to create a direct threat when they are picked up by the two of them, and if others say, I am afraid that they will have to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong to organize.

Carrick had a wide field of vision, he saw Hernandez's position when he received the ball, and immediately found Hernandez with a through ball.

Hernandez was positioned between John Terry and full-back Branislav Ivanovic, and when he received the ball, Terry and Ivanovic quickly moved on to prevent Hernandez from getting into the box.

However, Hernandez has always been known for his quick and agile nature, and before Terry and Ivanovic could get close, Hernandez dribbled into the box and faced goalkeeper Petr Cech.

It was a one-on-one goal, the best chance other than an empty goal, even better than a penalty.

Hernandez was very excited, very excited, and he knew that the time had come to be a hero, and if he scored this goal, it would be a blockade for Chelsea to qualify and send United to the final.

In his excitement, Hernandez even forgot to fake, he glanced at the goal, pushed the arch of his foot, and fired the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Hernandez shot decisively, but Cech is a very experienced goalkeeper and judged Hernandez's intention when he subconsciously aimed at the goal, and when Hernandez shot, he reached out and blocked the ball just off the line.

The Manchester United fans at the scene were looking forward to it, and they sighed with regret when they saw the ball saved by Cech.

Hernandez woke up from a dream when he saw the ball roll off the line, patting his head in frustration and hating that he had wasted a great opportunity that would have gone in if he had done a feint or flicked past Cech.

"I missed the opportunity to be a hero!" Hernandez was heartbroken, he now admires Gao Xiaodong even more, he is a year older than him, he is still a midfielder, but he is really calm when shooting.

Hernandez's one-on-one effort won a corner for United.

Manchester United had to play counter-attacking today and take corners very seriously.

Manchester United did not have much advantage over Chelsea on high balls, so when designing corner kick tactics before the game, in addition to direct crosses, they also designed long shots from outside the penalty area for Gao Xiaodong.

Of course, this tactical design is still more complicated, because of Gao Xiaodong's current fame and status, he will be marked by anyone wherever he stands, and if he wants to create a shooting opportunity for Gao Xiaodong, he must create an illusion and cannot be passed directly to Gao Xiaodong.

It was Michael Carrick who took the corner, and in United's starting line-up, Carrick's footwork was still very reliable.

Gao Xiaodong stood at the top of the arc of the penalty area, looking like he was ready to receive his teammate's header back.

Essien followed Gao Xiaodong's side, which was specially arranged by Ancelotti, who believed that except for the African buffalo, no one else could watch Gao Xiaodong, who had good strength and speed.

Ancelotti is also a good person, in the Chelsea team, only Essien can compete with Gao Xiaodong in physical fitness, but what Ancelotti doesn't know is that although Essien's physical fitness is better than Gao Xiaodong, he is not as cunning as Gao Xiaodong.

Before Carrick could reach the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly ran to the corner of the big penalty area close to Carrick.

Essien thought that Gao Xiaodong was going to cooperate with Carrick, so he hurriedly followed up and stopped Gao Xiaodong's next move.

However, Gao Xiaodong only ran two steps and suddenly stopped suddenly, and pushed on Essien's back, and then this force quickly ran in the opposite direction to the corner of the big penalty area on the other side.

Essien was chasing after him, but he was pushed by Gao Xiaodong and rushed directly to the sideline, and when he stopped and turned around, he was already a few meters away from Gao Xiaodong.

Carrick's pass is looking for the point at the far end of the penalty area, because he has practiced many times before the game, and the cooperation is very tacit, there is no difference, Gao Xiaodong arrived, and the ball happened to pass.

The ball passed by Carrick is very difficult for ordinary players to hit the goal directly, but Gao Xiaodong has second-level volley skills, and it is not difficult for him to deal with such a ball.

The ball flew quickly, Gao Xiaodong stepped back slightly, adjusted his pace, and swept sideways to meet the ball without hurrying.

The ball flew fast and flew back even faster, straight like lightning, past the crowd in the penalty area, straight to the top left of the goal.

When Gao Xiaodong shot at goal, a Chelsea player blocked it, but they jumped up and couldn't touch the ball.

Petr's attention was not on Gao Xiaodong at first, after all, the threat on the outside of the box could not be greater than the threat inside the box.

But when he saw that the ball was not flying towards the penalty area, Cech immediately realised that the ultimate goal of Manchester United's corner kick tactics was to find Gao Xiaodong.

Although Cech was mentally prepared, Gao Xiaodong's violent shot was not something that could be defended and defended.

Cech had a wealth of experience in judging the direction of the shot as soon as it left Gao Xiaodong's feet, and he jumped to his feet, then jumped sideways, clenched his fists to get the ball out.

The speed of the ball was too fast, the power was too strong, Cech was worried that his palm would not be able to block it, so he used his fist, but when he jumped up, he saw that the ball was a little far away from him, and the fist might not be able to touch, Cech immediately straightened his fingers and poked the incoming ball.

Petr's experience and reflexes were absolutely top-notch, he straightened his fingers to touch the ball, Gao Xiaodong's shot was really powerful, Cech touched the ball, his fingers hurt as if they were about to break, fortunately the ball was touched by Cech, smashed to the post and bounced out.

However, Cech also paid a big price for saving Gao Xiaodong's shot, and his middle finger was swollen by the ball, and the pain was too much to straighten.

It was the most crucial moment of the game, and without an experienced goalkeeper like Cech, Chelsea would have no chance at all, so Cech did not come off the pitch and continued to stand in front of goal to hold the last line of Chelsea's defence after playing closed.
