The snow is still falling, but the Reds and Blues clash between Manchester United and Chelsea is still going on as scheduled.

The 41,000-seat Stamford Bridge stadium was not empty due to the bad weather, and there were many Gao Xiaodong fans who flew from Asia to London to watch the game, holding bright red Chinese flags and chanting Gao Xiaodong's name.

Chelsea owner Abou and his wife Jukova, Zhukova's best friend, world star Emma. Watson was also on the scene, and they were joined by Manchester United's young clubs Joel and Edouard Edouard.

Abu is cautious and Joel is calm and capable, neither of them speaks, only Edward keeps talking to Emma. Watson was courteous and chattering.

On the field, the snow has been cleared, but there are still sparse snowflakes falling in the sky, but they are quickly disappeared under the trampling of the players on the field.

The game had just been played for five minutes, and at this time the on-site commentator Andy. Gray just started to introduce the players to the starting line-up for the game.

This is also Andy. Gray's characteristic, he doesn't like to introduce to fans through the starting list before the game, because the starting list is very different from the position of the players in the actual game, especially Gao Xiaodong, a very versatile player, he pushes forward, that is the forward, and pulls back, that is the defender, and the specific position formation can only be determined after the game.

"Manchester United are a 4-5-1: goalkeepers 1 Van der Sar/22 O'Shea, 5 Rio Ferdinand, 15 Nemanja Vidic, 3 Evra, five midfielders: 18 Scholes, 24 Fletcher, 16 Carrick, 17 Nani, 10 Gao Xiaodong, single striker: 7 Rooney......"

"Judging from this formation and the performance in the first five minutes, Manchester United mainly attacked on their left side, Gao Xiaodong partnered with Patrice Evra, and the auxiliary attack was Nani on the right, so the right-back behind Nani is O'Shea, not Rafael, which should be said to be Ferguson's cautious move, after all, from 02 to now, Manchester United has only won one game at Stamford Bridge. ”

Fletcher, Carrick and Scholes, who started in the middle, can also see Ferguson's prudence, Fletcher and Carrick partner in the back, Scholes sits in the midfield to command, in fact, Scholes and striker Rooney also have good defensive ability. ”

'Manchester United's starting XI is decent, and it's hard to say if they can win, but it's probably not easy for Chelsea to win. ”

"Let's take a look at Chelsea's starting line-up, it's a 433 formation, goalkeeper 1-Cech, back four: 2-Ivanovic, 4-David Luiz, 26-Terry, 3-Ashley Cole, three midfielders: 5-Essien, 7-Ramirez, 8-Frank Lampard, three forwards: 15-Malouda, 39-Anelka, 11- Didier Drogba: This starting is no novelty, no highlights, no faults, it fully reflects Ancelotti's steady and conservative tactical style, this starting even fans can guess, Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson will certainly not be worse than our fans, but Ann Fat is this ability, even if you completely guess his starters, or even if you guess his tactical play, you may not be able to win him. ”

"We've finished the starters on both sides, now let's look at the game, from the first five minutes of the game, both sides have seen the opponent's tight defense in the middle, both looking for the opponent's space from the side, but now no one has been able to attack the opponent's penalty area, just fight in the midfield, now we watch patiently to see who completes the first shot first......"

Before Andy Gray could speak, Chelsea launched a dangerous wide attack.

Essien cut off Carrick's pass to Scholes down the middle and fired a long ball past Anelka.

Anelka saw that Gao Xiaodong had no time to return to defense, and he stopped the ball and singled out his compatriot Evra.

Anelka made two feins to rush forward, did not get rid of Evra, made a gesture to dribble the ball, and suddenly crossed to the edge of the box.

Anelka's two feints didn't shake Evra, but he shook his team-mate Drogba into the box, Drogba brought both central defenders into the box, and Fletcher defended Lampard in front of the arc of the box, no one noticed that Malouda suddenly ran sideways from the wing to the edge of the box, and with no one defending, pushed the ball towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar has been watching the movement of the opponent's players, Malouda cross-cut he has noticed, he wanted to call his teammates to mark, but his teammates did not follow, Van der Sar was worried about giving him a powerful volley, so close, it is difficult for him to react at his age, seeing Malouda push the angle, Van der Sar was overjoyed, he flew and jumped and blocked the ball in front of the goal line.

Despite failing to find the back of the net, the Chelsea fans gave Malouda a round of applause

Andy Gray, the on-site commentator, said: "Good shot, better save! Malouda's run is top-notch, but it's not enough to break Van der Sar's ten-finger barrier." ”

Chelsea were more proactive after a shot on goal, and in the ninth minute, Ramirez passed the ball and Essien took two steps before being caught between a trio of Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Nemanja Vidic.

Essien didn't pass the ball and he lifted his foot to hit a powerful volley.

Vidic stretched out his foot to block, and the ball hit his foot and changed the line and flew straight towards the goal.

Vidic was shocked to see this effect, but luckily the ball flew straight for goalkeeper Van der Sar, who easily reached out and picked it off.

United didn't get a shot on goal for almost ten minutes, and the players also stepped up their running, and in the 13th minute of the game, Ramirez was pressed by Carrick, mixed garlic under his feet, and Gao Xiaodong suddenly ran over to steal the ball.

Ramirez was afraid that Gao Xiaodong would fight back, so he fell to the ground and hooked Gao Xiaodong with his outstretched foot.

It was a classic tactical foul and a yellow card according to the rules, but referee Atkinson was known as Chelsea's referee, and the United players were nervous and feared that Atkinson would not play according to the rules.

However, Atkinson did not favor Chelsea this time, nor did he care about the pressure at home, and he directly took out a yellow card to warn Ramirez.

Seeing this, Manchester United's players and fans are much more relieved, as long as the referee's whistle is not biased or dark, Manchester United has a chance to win.

Manchester United sent a free kick in midfield, Scholes passed directly to Gao Xiaodong, Evra boldly stepped forward, and Gao Xiaodong ran to the Chelsea half one after the other.

Gao Xiaodong was extremely fast, and he rushed straight to Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball and dribbled the ball very quickly, and Chelsea winger Anelka was not far from Gao Xiaodong, but he didn't catch up with Gao Xiaodong, so he could only watch Gao Xiaodong single-handedly challenge Ivanovic.

Gao Xiaodong accelerated all the way to the bottom line, and finally completely shook off Ivanovic and swept the ball towards the small penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong was too fast, but Rooney at the back point was not outflanked, and the ball slid past the goal and was blocked by Manchester United's full-back Ashley. Cole grabs in front of the touchline.

It's a good time to switch between offense and defence, Ashley. Cole launched a quick counter-attack, Drogba split the ball in front of the goal, and Anelka fired into the right flank of the United penalty area from a tight angle, but the ball also crossed the goal.
