In order to break the curse of nine years without a win at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United made the most detailed arrangements before the game, including how to deal with the lead and fall behind.

With 20 minutes left in the game, Chelsea have time to equalise or even overtake.

And in order to break through Chelsea's door, Ferguson surprised two veterans, hit Chelsea by surprise, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, the two veterans cooperate tacitly, the attack is excellent, but the athleticism is poor, the defense is not good, if you can break the goal, how to use these two veterans to prevent Chelsea's last-minute counterattack, to keep the victory, is also the Manchester League before the hard study.

Obviously, it is very difficult to replace defense with attack, and in the face of desperate Chelsea, no one dares to say that they can defend, and finally Ferguson and the coaching staff came up with a good idea, which is to fall in the back, kill time, and if Chelsea press high, play Chelsea's counterattack by the way.

Manchester United's player skills are indeed not delicate enough, but Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Scholes, Giggs, and Fletcher have worked together for six or seven seasons, and the tacit understanding is very good, and the game has reached more than 70 minutes in the second half, and Chelsea's frontcourt pressing is certainly not as strong as at the beginning, so it is completely conditional to achieve the backfield.

When the game resumed, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Manchester United.

The new Malouda was full of fighting spirit, and he quickly used his physical and technical advantages to shake off Valencia and cross directly from the side of the box.

Drogba attracted a lot of firepower, Torres quickly grabbed Vidic's chest to stop the ball, and before Vidic could get close, the Spanish golden boy turned and volleyed directly.

This set of maneuvers is very difficult, the shot is very stretched, but unfortunately it failed to hit the right part, drew to the lower part of the ball, and the ball flew high into the stands.

It was time for Chelsea to come back and although there was no goal, it was a morale-boosting move and the fans in the stands gave Torres a round of applause.

Manchester United did not open a big kick when he served the goal kick this time, the old goalkeeper Van der Sar understood Ferguson's intentions, now is the time to control the football to consume time, he put the ball thrown by the caddie and did not pick it up, pretended not to see it, ran to the outside of the field to pick up the ball, took the ball into the field, saw the ball thrown in by the caddy, quickly went to the corner of the small penalty area to drop the ball, and threw another ball out.

The fool can also see that Van der Sar is killing time, but this waste is very reasonable, and the referee has no way to award him a foul.

Andy Gray, the on-site commentator, sighed: "There is an old man in the family, and it is so uncreative to see how subtle Van der Sar's way of delaying time is, and the young man will lie on the ground when he gets the ball." ”

Souness said sarcastically: "There are three veterans like Manchester United, all of them are old demons, each consumes three minutes, and ten minutes passes." ”

Andy Gray smiled: "If you want to talk about the obscene style of play, it is still Xiao Donggao, in the first round of the league, it was Xiao Donggao's obscene delay Dafa who took away a point from Stamford Bridge." ”

As he spoke, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar played the ball to Patrice Evra, Mikel quickly pounced to press it, and Evra crossed the ball to Rio Ferdinand.

When Drogba pressed Ferdinand again, Gao Xiaodong had already run out of position, and Ferdinand easily passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong was about to pass to Fletcher, who was in a better position, but quickly turned sideways to pass the ball to Giggs.

Gao Xiaodong's feint not only deceived Frank Lampard, but even Giggs was fooled, but Wang Laoji's stopping skills were superb to the point of turning into a situation, he easily stopped the ball, brought out a space, and passed it to Scholes.

Faced with a succession of Manchester United's midfield back-to-back, Chelsea had to press hard, compressing United's passing space and forcing United to make mistakes.

Of course, there are pros and cons to doing this, Manchester United is not the kind of small and fast team, the style of play has always been wide open, now is just a special period to play occasionally, as long as the space is compressed, Manchester United's passing will inevitably be wrong, and the threat of stealing and attacking directly in the front court will be much greater.

But after the three lines were pressed, Chelsea's half was empty, Manchester United's rapid counterattack was very scary, Scholes, Giggs can make long passes, Gao Xiaodong and Valencia are extremely fast, and Rooney's speed is only a little slower than the two of them, and the three of them are impacted, and Chelsea's defenders are also difficult to block.

This style of play is a double-edged sword, but Chelsea has no choice, the opponent gets an away goal, even if Chelsea equalizes, it is equivalent to falling behind half a goal, if you lose the game, from the historical record, the team that loses 0:1 at home, the probability of promotion is no more than 10%, and Chelsea's chances are equal to being eliminated.

Sure enough, after Chelsea pressed hard, Manchester United's passing space became smaller, and even the passing of players such as Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Patrice Evra did not guarantee a success rate. After all, they don't play fast football, and this kind of passing is not for them.

In the 75th minute of the game, Scholes made a mistake when receiving a pass from Fletcher, and Fletcher was a little deflected by the opponent's interference and was tackled by Ramirez.

Ramirez crossed Drogba, Drogba burst into the right side of the box to hold Ferdinand and shoot from a tight angle, Van der Sar hurriedly blocked the ball with his foot.

Corners were also invaluable for Chelsea, with players who could attack coming to the box to get involved in the build-up.

Frank Lampard whipped in a corner and Nemanja Vidic showed great courage to press Fernando Torres to clear the ball out of the box.

However, the ball was still controlled by Chelsea, Mikel crossed to Frank Lampard, Torres pulled wide in the box, Lampard crossed, Torres knocked the ball to the bottom line, and turned to get past Vidic.

Torres used the quick start to eat Vidic raw, and now I want to eat it again after the overhaul, but it is not as easy as it used to be, although Vidic is half a body slower, he resists Torres with his body, and secretly pulls a small handful of his hand, slowing down Torres's speed, Torres did not get the ball under Vidic's interference, and the ball rolled out of the bottom line.

Vidic was thrilled to defend Torres twice and celebrated with a fist.

Scholes came over and patted Vidic and praised him for his defense, and Gao Xiaodong also gave Vidic a thumbs up.

Subsequently, under Chelsea's strong pressure, Manchester United still continued to make passing errors, but fortunately, most of Manchester United's players were in their own half, Chelsea broke the ball and counterattacked, Manchester United also had an advantage in the number of defenders, and Chelsea's attack did not create much of a threat.

Manchester United, on the other hand, have not yet had a chance to counter-attack, but on several occasions they have come close to winning the game, only to be ruined by Chelsea's tactical fouls.

However, Manchester United's players are not in a hurry, they know that there is so much space at the back that they can break through the Chelsea goal again and seal the win if they are given a chance, and even if they concede, the result of a 1-1 draw away is completely acceptable.
