Chapter 718: Unlucky Bosingwa
The stands at the new Wembley Stadium are packed. (Good Novel)
Chelsea in the dressing room.
"At the beginning of the game, you have to attack. Hius looked at his players and said, "Against Manchester United, we can't play with them. We must take the initiative. ”
On the other side, Alex Ferguson was making the final arrangements in the dressing room.
"The first fifteen minutes of the game should be when you are at your most stressed. Either way, I don't want to see a goal conceded, even if it's at the expense of the attack, I have to defend it. Once you let the opponent score first, the game is not good. ”
He continued: "Lads, we have to admit that we are tired now, while our opponents are resting well, they have been waiting for this game for a long time. Fitness, that's a difficult one we need to face and our opponents want to take advantage of that. ”
'So, this game, we have to play at our own pace and not be led by the nose, Hiddink is a cunning coach and if we are forced to follow their rhythm then it will be very difficult. ”
At this time, Ferguson saw that Yang Fan didn't listen to him and looked absent-minded, so he smelled, "What's the matter." You're absent-minded. ”
"Uh...... No. ”
"I don't want the 'mess' in the newspapers to affect the game, and if that's the case, I'll put you on the bench. ”
"No ......"
"And what's the matter with you?" Ferguson was furious.
Yang Fan hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "When I think that this is your last game, I feel a little absent-minded......
Ferguson immediately turned out that the problem was still with himself...... However, the old man was a little proud in his heart, and it was not easy to let such an unruly horse have feelings for him.
He looked at his players, and the family was looking to him. Only then did he see the same affection as Yang Fan in the eyes of those players.
"Don't overthink it. It's just a normal game. Ferguson said, seeing that everyone was looking at him, and then he laughed himself, "Okay, this game is not ordinary! This is the FA Cup final, and if we win this game, we will win the quadruple!"
"Quadruple Crown! This is something that no one has ever been able to do! So I kept thinking, you guys are amazing!" Ferguson waved. 'Chelsea are a good opponent. He laughed. "We're not going to be seen as unconvincing because we beat them. Winning this opponent would make our quadruple glory even more brilliant, wouldn't it?"
Alex Ferguson was clearly reluctant to dwell on the topic of his 'final game' and directed attention to other aspects of the game's important 'sex'. He was successful and the players were gradually mobilized by Ferguson.
"Win the game, win this game, win the next game, win the next game, keep winning!" said Ferguson, "this is my Manchester United!"

In the huge cheers of the football 'fans' of the whole field, the players of both sides lined up to play, and after shaking hands with each other and 'handing' the team flags, the two sides picked sides.
Rio Ferdinand won the wing, so possession of the ball belonged to Chelsea, and Hiddink was pleased with the result, meaning Chelsea had a chance to take the initiative from the start of the game.
Once the game began, Chelsea used their kick-off advantage to take the initiative on the pitch. However, after two successive attacks were blocked by Manchester United, the Reds quickly relented and began to put pressure on Chelsea.
Manchester United began to exploit their advantage on the flanks as much as possible in this game, and they frequently played on the flanks, breaking through and passing the ball into the box.
Faced with Manchester United's strength on the flanks, Chelsea abandoned their wide defence at one point, curtailing their main defensive cross from the middle. Their centre-backs Terré and Carvalho both have good header ability and are still relatively confident in defending high balls.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was dribbling the ball down the flank, used a feint to scrub past Chelsea midfielder Mikel before suddenly cutting inside. Ballack stretched out his foot to break the ball, but the speed of his foot was not as fast as Ronaldo's change of direction, and Ronaldo was tripped.
The referee blew the whistle for a foul on Ballack.
The foul sent all Chelsea supporters out in a cold sweat – as the foul was committed just a stone's throw from inside the box.
Just half a metre further on, Cristiano Ronaldo collapsed in the box, and in fact, the Portuguese star did just that, falling into the box. It's just that the referee 'Bo' Ermin wiped out everything and saw clearly that this was not a penalty, just a free kick.
Ballack looked furious, and he had no objection to being awarded a foul and a free-kick, but the reason for his anger was that Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to want to fall into the box and cheat the penalty.
The angry German star rushed up and yelled at Cristiano Ronaldo, "Do you want to cheat the penalty?
The referee was next to the two, and before the conflict between the two sides escalated, he separated the two and the other players from both sides, verbally warned Ballack, and then warned Cristiano Ronaldo with his eyes, telling him to see more and not to play 'tricks'.
Cristiano Ronaldo's face was a little blue.
He then stood at the penalty spot and he was going to take the free-kick himself.
In fact, the free kick in this location is not very easy to 'shoot' directly at the 'goal', because it is too close to the 'goal' of the ball, it is not easy to pass the wall, but it is not easy to kick.
However, this time Cristiano Ronaldo obviously didn't intend to pass the ball, so he came up directly in the corner of the big penalty area with a 'shot' and 'goal'!
The shot went around the wall and completely deceived Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech, who had yet to make any saves when the ball grazed the post......
"Oh oh oh! what a pity!" exclaimed the narrator. "It's just a little bit off. ”
There was also a huge sigh in the stands.
Manchester United fans sighed that if this goal was scored, Manchester United would be 1-0 ahead, which would be an extremely favorable situation for the more tired Manchester United team.
Seeing the football slide past the 'goal', Cristiano Ronaldo also looked a little annoyed, he looked up at the sky, and kept muttering in his mouth.
This 'shot' and 'goal' made Hiddink jump in shock, and he was relieved to see that the goal did not go in. For Manchester United, he is not careless at all, although the media is also saying that Manchester United has just played the Champions League final with Barcelona, fighting fiercely, and after returning to England, the two-day celebrations have also made the treble champion very tired, Manchester United's physical fitness will definitely not be ideal, in this regard, Chelsea who are waiting for work has a big chance of winning. However, Guus Hius is well aware of how difficult it will be for Chelsea to win. This is Ferguson's last game in charge of Manchester United, and with a win in this game, Manchester United will have won the Quadruple for the first time in history, whether it is for the retiring Ferguson or for the glory of the Quadruple, it is impossible for Manchester United not to fight hard in this game.
"Be careful when you foul and stay away from the box...... Hiddink shouted into the field.
The ensuing game was a bit of a disappointment for Hiddink, as his team was not able to take advantage of the first kick-off to take the initiative on the field, but was instead dominated by Manchester United, who even besieged Chelsea's goal. This forced Hiddink to make an impromptu adjustment to his tactics and allow the players on the pitch to play defensive counter-attacks.
This set of tactics is naturally familiar to Chelsea's players and is very handy, which is the usual tactic of Chelsea in the Mourinho era.
Seeing that the Manchester United team has taken the initiative, the Manchester United football 'fans' in the stands cheering for their team are very loud, and the Manchester United football 'fans' in the stands today, in addition to playing the slogan of looking forward to the team winning the quadruple, are grateful to Ferguson and express their gratitude for the retirement of Manchester United's godfather, which is also a theme expressed by Manchester United football 'fans'. They desperately wanted the team to win, and to give Ferguson a win, another title, a quadruple as a gift, to thank the old Scottish man for his dedication to Manchester United.
But twenty minutes passed, and United's indiscriminate bombardment had little effect. Chelsea's dense defense made Manchester United's attack many times fruitless, but it was a counterattack from Chelsea, directly looking for Drogba in front, the Ivorian star carried Ferdinand, and then successfully squeezed into the penalty area, came to a powerful 'shot' 'goal', if it wasn't for Van der Sar's concentration, he should have saved the football very quickly, Chelsea would have almost succeeded.
※※※※※※※
The deadlock was broken by a low-level mistake from each side in less than half a minute.
"It's on the top!" exclaimed the narrator.
It was the 25th minute of the game and Chelsea launched a long ball and O'Shea tried to clear the ball with a header, but he couldn't get on top of the ball.
Didier Drogba was not going to miss the opportunity, and he then rushed up and got ahead of Vidic, who was in the middle of the fill-in, to give the ball to Joe Cole. After the latter caught up with the football, he chose to hang the 'goal' in the face of the attacking 'goalkeeper' Van der Sar.
It's just that Joe Cole's 'color' hanging 'goal' did not score, and the football hit the 'goal' post, which shocked all Manchester United people into a cold sweat, and if Chelsea scored first, this game would be even more difficult to play.
After the football hit the post, it did not go out of the bottom line, and was picked up by Van der Sar, who was shocked into a cold sweat, and then, Van der Sar did not waste time, and threw the ball directly and vigorously to launch a quick counterattack.
United's attack advanced up front and Wayne Rooney's pass was blocked by Mikel's outstretched leg and there was a line change.
This slight change of line made Bosingwa make a big mistake, and the Portuguese defender seemed to be a little distracted at that moment, he was going to come up to clear the siege, but he kicked a defect, not only did the kick fail, but also directly 'sent' the football to Yang Fan who was far away from him.
In the face of such an opportunity that is almost sent to the 'door', how could Yang Fan miss it.
He chased straight up and attacked with the ball. As he passed by, he even said 'thank you' to Bosingwa in English.
When the rest of the Chelsea players didn't react, they could only watch Yang Fan suddenly appear in front of their 'goalkeeper' like that.
"Oh hell, oh......," the London narrator shouted on his feet.
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech had no time to complain about his defenders' low-level mistakes, and he had no choice but to attack.
The shaking of Yang Fan's upper body deceived him, and then easily picked the football away from Cech's body, and then he didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground with a volley 'pump' and 'shot', and the football entered the goal without any suspense.
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaal!”
Amid the frantic shouts of the Manchester commentators, the London commentators were eager to hit their heads against the pillars, scolding Bosingwa, "Hell, hell, our left-back, are you sure you're not an undercover agent for Manchester United?"
