When it came to Stamford Bridge, every Manchester United player was a little nervous.

Here, they haven't won in nine years.

Even with Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United got a lewd draw here in the first round of the league by delaying time.

Before kick-off, when the players of both sides shook hands, the Chelsea players were very confident, constantly provoking the Manchester United players with their eyes, expressions and movements, hoping to hit the confidence of the Manchester United players before the game.

The Manchester United players were-for-tat and not polite at all, and Gao Xiaodong and Ivanovic, whom he had played in the first leg of the league, also scolded each other.

The two managers, Carlo Ancelotti and Alex Ferguson, were very gracious, shaking hands with each other and blessing each other.

Taking advantage of the gap in the pre-match ceremony, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray reviewed the start and match of the two sides in the first round of the league.

"Compared to the last red and blue matchup, Chelsea's backline has changed a lot, with Ivanovic, the full-back who was played by Gao Xiaodong last time, playing at centre-back today and Bosingwa as a full-back. Midfielder Malouda was replaced by Zhirkov, and the partner of the monster Drogba was also turned into the golden boy Torres, both of whom were bitter for Manchester United...... For Manchester United, O'Shea was replaced by the younger and more capable Rafael, with Rooney and Hernandez a fast and strong combination up front, and Ferguson made a bold decision in the middle by putting Paul Scholes on the bench and partnering in the middle of the midfield with Fletcher, Nani, Valencia and Gao Xiaodong. This midfield is fast, but not as strong as Chelsea, and not as technically strong as Chelsea, so how effective it will be will have to wait until the end of the game to comment. ”

The first kick-off was the away side Manchester United.

At Stamford Bridge, United were almost the most hostile of the team, and even at kick-off, the Blues fans were booing and chanting to humiliate Rooney.

Rooney seemed to be mentally prepared in advance, ignoring the boos and scolding of the Blues fans, and silently responded to the pass.

Chelsea's tactics today were clear, which was to smash the midfield to the ground, and after Manchester United's kick-off, Drogba and Torres pressed forward quickly, and the midfielders and defenders also quickly moved forward to push the field inside and outside the central circle.

Manchester United poured almost seven or eight shots in a row, and finally passed back to the goalkeeper under the pressure of Chelsea, goalkeeper Van der Sar is not the kind of ball-holding goalkeeper like Neuer, the ball passed to him, he did not accurately pass to the defender's footwork, even if there were, Van der Sar would not pass, he just kicked a big kick to the front.

The ball was comfortably grabbed by Terry and Hernandez barely caused any disruption to Terry.

The ball was passed to midfielder Ramirez, who split the flanks and Essien quickly dribbled forward to the bottom line of Manchester United.

In the face of Essien's attack, Patrice Evra stepped back from the side and waited for Essien to cross or go down to the bottom to block.

Essien is nicknamed the African Buffalo, but he is strong and strong, the ball quotient still has to see that Evra maintains a good defensive posture, not can break through casually, Nani is still interfering on one side, he decisively slows down, sees Bosingwa inserted at high speed from behind, Essien plugs the ball to a side, Bosingwa quickly forced a breakthrough through Evra from the outside, and passed the ball to the penalty area with a kick after getting down.

United's centre-backs today are the strongest duo of Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic, with a lot of experience, watching the players on the edge and the players on the wing, and as Bosingwa passed Patrice Evra, Ferdinand moved quickly in front of Torres to defend crosses from the wing.

Rio Ferdinand's experience proved to be crucial, as Ferdinand got in front of Torres and headed wide when Bosingwa's cross was delivered.

Rio Ferdinand's clearance was praised by Red Devils fans, and on-site commentator Andy Gray also said: "If Evans were to defend, I guess Torres would have grabbed the spot." ”

However, Andy Gray's partner Liverpool legend Souness laughed and said: "If Vidic comes to defend, it is estimated that Torres will score." ”

Andy Gray naturally knew that Vidic defended Torres and received three red cards in a row, and he smiled: "Scoring may not be, fouls are certain." ”

The ease with which the left flank allowed a cross annoyed United captain Nemanja Vidic and he shouted at Patrice Evra and Nani not to let them go.

Ferdinand's clearance was obtained by Gao Xiaodong.

Seeing that the opponent was menacing and Gao Xiaodong did not stick to the ball, he quickly turned around and sent a kick to the side to find Valencia, allowing Valencia to use his speed to impact the Chelsea defence.

Against Manchester United, Chelsea is still very steady, just that wave of attack, Bosingwa on the right went up, Ashley Cole on the left did not press so deeply, when Valencia stepped forward with the ball, Zhirkov was overtaken, but Ashley Cole quickly retreated, compressing Valencia's space with the ball.

When Ashley Cole retreated to the side of the penalty area, Valencia had to slow down, and he continued to accelerate and rush, even if Ashley Cole didn't defend him, he would probably have to take him out of the line.

Ashley Cole is experienced, so he waited for Valencia to slow down, and as soon as Valencia's speed dropped, he immediately went up.

Valencia had two ideas for slowing down, if Ashley Cole went up, he would speed up again, and if Ashley Cole didn't go up, he would cross at 45 degrees to let his team-mates attack the Chelsea defence.

Seeing Ashley Cole coming up, Valencia immediately took the ball to the baseline and accelerated from the outside to overtake.

Ashley Cole was called the world's No. 1 left-back at his peak, and now although his peak is over, he still has experience, and he also judged Valencia's intentions in advance, and before Valencia stepped into the ball, he fell down early and intercepted the ball.

Valencia made a sharp stop, turned around and grabbed the ball again, Ashley Cole fell to the ground and swept the ball back to Zhirkov, who came back to pick it up.

Hernandez and Wayne Rooney were just trying to shoot at goal, but they were next to the two centre-backs, and Zhirkov had no way to return the ball and had to take the ball with his back.

In order to prevent the opponent from stealing from behind, when taking the ball, Zhirkov stopped the ball in the opposite direction.

Although this action is a bit excessive, if someone steals, it may be shaken.

However, after Zhirkov stopped the ball, he wanted to turn around, but Gao Xiaodong had already inserted between Zhirkov and the ball at high speed and stole the ball.

However, when Gao Xiaodong adjusted his pace to prepare for a long-range shot, Lampard arrived from behind and pushed Gao Xiaodong down.

Referee Marenko blew the whistle and United fans in the stands chanted for a yellow card for Frank Lampard, but Marenko ignored it, signalled for a foul on Lampard and gave United a free-kick in front of the left side of the box.

Because Gao Xiaodong has often gone to grab points recently, Nani came to Gao Xiaodong's side, "Gao, do you punish this ball?"

Gao Xiaodong looked at the distance and direction, and said, "I'll try it." ”

"Good. Nani retreated to the side of the box and waited for his chance.

When Gao Xiaodong was about to take a penalty, the son of the Manchester United owner, Edward, and Manchester United manager David Gill came to the scene, he walked into the box, put the bag on the table, and quickly ran to the window to watch Gao Xiaodong's free kick.

This foul goal is not too far, but it is relatively biased, after goalkeeper Cech sealed the near corner, Gao Xiaodong only played the back corner, but the requirements for footwork accuracy are very high, and it is a world wave.

Although Gao Xiaodong is all-powerful with both left and right feet, the Manchester United players still think Gao Xiaodong may pass the ball, and Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand both came to the box to fight for headers.

When the referee's whistle blew, Gao Xiaodong ran slightly, and the left-footed banana ball hung in the back corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Cech had a hunch that Gao Xiaodong would choose this angle, and he flew forward to intercept the ball, but Gao Xiaodong's arc was a bit big, and Cech, who was tall and long-armed, was not able to touch the ball.

Cech wasn't worried about not touching the ball and his inability to touch it meant it couldn't go to goal.

When Cech looked back, he saw that the ball had unexpectedly flown off the line against the back post.

But Cech was not happy, but secretly frightened, this ball was too close to the goal post, and there was a lot of difference from his judgment, Gao Xiaodong adjusted the arc again, and he might score.

The Blues fans in the stands also exclaimed, feeling that it didn't matter when they took the penalty, and when they looked at it after the kick, the ball was really hanging.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech sent a goalball to Drogba in front, and Cech made a direct long pass with a big foot for the monster to fight with Manchester United's defenders.

The 33-year-old Drogba is no longer at his peak, but his strength is still terrifying, he is stuck in position, Ferdinand just can't get it up, and can only watch Drogba play the ball to Frank Lampard in the middle.

Frank Lampard chested the ball forward and prepared to shoot from distance.

Frank Lampard has the title of the king of refracted goals, no matter how far away, Fletcher did not dare to let him shoot, he pressed over at the first time to block the angle of Lampard's shot.

Usually players will get rid of the angle of the shot when the opponent blocks the shot, but Frank Lampard scored more deflected balls, and he was very confident in the face of interception, and he hit the goal directly.

Fletcher stretched out his foot to block, and the ball hit Fletcher's foot and flew back towards the goal.

The veteran Van der Sar was still very quick to react, and when Frank Lampard got up, he was moving to the left, but when he saw the refraction, he quickly turned around and moved to the right to pounce.

Fortunately, the distance was long, and Fletcher's interception was a little unloaded, and Van der Sar narrowly saved the ball off the line.

Chelsea were awarded the first corner of the game.

As a header powerhouse, such an opportunity should not be missed.

The penalty was taken at left-back Ashley Cole, Terry, Branislav Ivanovic, Drogba and Torres all came to the box to grab a header, Essien and Lampard were ready to shoot from the edge of the box, Ramires and Zhirkov grabbed the ball on both sides, and Chelsea surrounded the Manchester United penalty area in all directions.

Ashley Cole curled the ball to the penalty area, and you pushed me in the penalty area, and people were in chaos.

Torres went down in the crowd and Drogba headed over the crossbar.

"Foul foul!"

"Vidic!

"Penalty!"

There was a lot of shouting in the stands, in fact, the fans didn't see how Torres fell to the ground at all, they just heckled and provoked Vidic.

Referee Marenko ignored it and let Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar serve the goal.

In the opening five minutes, both sides had shots, both attacked the opponent's penalty area several times, and both had set-pieces, the pace of the game was fast, and it seemed that neither side was convinced, and both hoped to score a goal first and grasp the initiative of the game.

Petr Cech took the goal kick to Drogba, but Van der Sar couldn't do that, and Manchester United strikers Wayne Rooney and Hernandez were both less than 1.8 meters tall, and the long pass was almost equivalent to giving the ball to the opponent.

Van der Sar crossed the ball to Patrice Evra and slowly pushed forward from the back.

Chelsea were well aware of United's path and began to scramble when Van der Sar served, Torres, Drogba, Zhirkov, Essien, four people grabbed Manchester United's four defenders and did not let them play comfortably.

Chelsea's tackles were fast and ferocious, Drogba had the cunning of a black African, Torres had the shrewdness of a white European, and both of them did not forget to physically confront their opponents when they tackled, and put down opponents reasonably or unreasonably, leaving United without a receiving spot.

Chelsea's pressing worked well, as United's three-footed pass went past the midfield and then the ball went to Patrice Evra, who had too little power to pass to Fletcher and was tackled by Torres on a quick start.

The Spanish golden boy went straight to Vidic with the ball, and after all these years of encounters, Torres preferred to play Vidic compared to Ferdinand.

Nemanja Vidic is a top centre-back and a tough guy who is not "afraid" of any opponent, including Drogba, but his technical characteristics determine that he is most "afraid" of a striker like Torres who starts quickly and reacts.

In October 2009, Manchester United faced Liverpool in the league. Before the game, Vidic made a bold promise not to let Torres humiliate himself again. Of course, there is a reason for saying such things. You know, Nemanja Vidic was a candidate for PFA Player of the Year and Manchester United Player of the Year the previous season, but Vidic received a red card in both legs against Liverpool, and it was Fernando Torres who caused Vidic's painful memories.

However, the rhetoric did not work, and Vidic was red-carded again on that meeting, and scored a red hat-trick against Torres, and Torres has since become the biggest shadow of Vidic's career.

Suddenly, seeing Torres coming with the ball, Vidic was nervous, didn't dare to go over, put two steps to Torres, let Torres hit the goal, and didn't let him break through.

Vidic's choice has upset Ferguson, who is no less dangerous than a breakthrough for a top striker.

Andy Gray, the on-site commentator, also laughed and said that Vidic really has a shadow, and this distance can't be so far from Torres.

If you buy it against the other defenders, Torres would have shot straight at goal, but in the face of Vidic, Torres was full of confidence, and he made a feint to dribble to the left, accelerating sharply to the right.

Such feints would normally be of little use to a defender of Vidic's level, but Vidic was still too nervous, and he nervously moved to the left, and by the time Torres broke through to the right, he was already passive.

Thankfully, Vidic had two steps to go, and Fernando Torres' explosiveness dropped after the injury, allowing Vidic to carry Torres before he could reach the box.

Torres stumbled into the box under Vidic's squeeze and staggered into the box, where goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar stepped in to get the ball.

"Penalty...... Vidic fouls, fouls, red cards, red cards!"

For a while, the Stamford Bridge stadium shouted loudly, like a tsunami.

Carlo Ancelotti jumped up and yelled at the pitch: "Foul! foul!"

Even Abu in the VIP box was alarmed, and he jerked to his feet and stared at the referee to see how Marenko would decide.

Amid the boos and shouts of 40,000 fans, referee Marenco did not show Vidic's cards, but instead waved to Torres and motioned for him to get up.

The stadium erupted with boos at Stamford Bridge and the Blues fans shouted in angry protests.

Chelsea's players were also very unhappy, crowding around Marenko to question his decision.

Marenco didn't mean to change, explaining that it was normal physical contact and that it wasn't enough to foul.

Andy Gray, the on-site commentator, quipped: "Marenco's men are merciful, and it seems that Marenco also has sympathy for Vidic." ”

Souness complained: 'It's not a free kick, it's Chelsea's home stadium and maybe Marenko is sympathetic to Vidic. ”

Nemanja Vidic was so desperate that goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar didn't dare to let his team-mates possess the ball at the back, and he drove the ball forward for Rooney and Hernandez to grab the header.
