Chapter 481: The Strongest Chelsea and the Strongest Vardy
It's fitting to describe Jamie Vardy's powerful long-range shot.
No one expected that Vardy would suddenly get up and hit a half-volley with a blast, let alone that the goal would actually go in the end.
In the eyes of Chelsea fans, that wonderful trajectory is so terrifying that people scream in horror.
Jamie Vardy has never felt so excited on the pitch, even if he won the Champions League last season, not as excited as he is now.
Tough, incredibly tough, probably the toughest game Vardy has ever played!
Forging ahead, in the infinite predicament, Vardy did not give up, Manchester United did not give up, they held on to the last hope, as if standing on the top of a mountain in the early hours of the morning, waiting for the newborn sunrise.
Vardy stood proudly, looking up to the sky and roaring, venting all the excitement from the bottom of his heart.
Teammates rushed over to hug Vardy tightly and formed a circle, and even goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar joined in the celebration with a rush of 80 metres.
The Chelsea players looked at Jamie Vardy with blank expressions, and the incredible shot kept replaying in front of their eyes, hitting their hearts and minds, and it was a fatal blow that they simply couldn't bear.
At that moment, Red Devils fans all over the world jumped up from the sofa and burst out with a roar from the bottom of their hearts, Long live Manchester United!
This goal meant a complete reversal of the situation!
Manchester United equalised away at 2:2, plus 3-2 in the first leg, and the Reds are already ahead of Chelsea in terms of total goals, and if they finish the game with this scoreline, they will knock Chelsea out and advance to the Champions League final.
It was a decisive goal!
Even in the worst-case scenario, Chelsea score another goal in regulation time and the two teams will be back on the same page, with the same number of away goals going to extra-time or even penalty shoot-outs.
Jamie Vardy really single-handedly changed the game, and he was still the brightest of the stars on the pitch, and all the brilliance was eclipsed in front of him.
War of the Gods!
Even if Manchester United is out, there is only one king in this game, and that is Manchester United Vardy!
......
After the celebration, the United players no longer seemed to resign themselves to their fate, and now they are ahead, a lead that Vardy fought back with a never-say-die spirit, and they will not allow Vardy's efforts to be wiped out in their hands.
Maybe they won't be able to help Vardy more in attack, but defensively, if they really work hard, then no one can easily shake their position.
Chelsea can score, but first step over their bodies!
So after the game started, the Manchester United players did not need Ferguson's instructions, and all returned to the penalty area to build a defensive line and hold the last game, which has become their only insistence.
Chelsea went on a rampage, everyone rushed towards the United penalty area like crazy, and with more than ten minutes left in the game, even centre-back John Terry pushed into the United penalty area, with only Carvalho trailing near midfield.
Chelsea are going to be desperate, either attack or die, they have no choice.
The match was as it was in the last minute of the previous leg, with Mourinho fielding all the attacking players he could must, as if it were yesterday.
In the last leg, at Old Trafford, United held on and held the lead until the end of the game.
The only difference now is that the two teams have travelled from Old Trafford to Stamford Bridge.
In the 84th minute, Robben crossed from the right, although his cross was not very reliable, but at least it came out, Drogba grabbed the header before Ferdinand, and the ball went over the crossbar;
In the 86th minute, Essien received the ball from 10 yards outside the penalty area and fired a shot, but unfortunately it was too straight and was saved by Van der Sar;
In the 89th minute, Lampadla crossed from the left, Terry and Drogba doubled to grab the point, but the two grabbed together, and the ball was cleared by Vidic;
Chelsea had chances to score until the final minute of regulation time when Ballack's rare in-cut shot was left wide of the goal.
By the time the fourth official on the pitch lifted the stoppage time sign, the Chelsea players were already in a frenzy, and United's goal looked like a boat in a storm, ready to be submerged at any moment, but the boat was still drifting to this day.
Desperation pervaded the entire Stamford Bridge, with players and fans already clasping their hands into fists and praying for a miracle, even though they knew it might not work.
Mourinho was already kneeling on the sidelines emotionally, a scene that reminded Vardy that he had done this in his previous life, but the ending was not perfect.
In the third minute of stoppage time, United unceremoniously resorted to delaying tactics after Ballack's long-range shot slid out of the net, and even goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar received a yellow card, but the punishment was insignificant in the face of victory.
Finally, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and a classic pinnacle duel came to an end.
Manchester United held Chelsea to a draw away and a home win saw them knock out Chelsea and reach the Champions League final for the second consecutive season.
At that moment, the Chelsea players collapsed to the ground weakly, their eyes glazed out, and they tried their best in this game, but they still could not beat Manchester United, and the heavy blow made them feel that the whole world had lost its color and was gray.
The Chelsea fans in the stands had tears in their eyes, and no one wanted to accept the cruel reality that they could not bear it.
The Manchester United players raised their fists and roared, embracing each other passionately, and this victory in the face of infinite adversity made them extremely excited and unable to vent.
It was one of United's toughest games of the season and no one fancied them, no one thought they could knock out Chelsea, and maybe God was on Chelsea's side.
But in the end, Manchester United won, and they had the last laugh.
Pride, infinite pride!
Several of his team-mates rushed to Vardy and threw him to the ground, and everyone swarmed up to stack Rohan, but even though Vardy was crushed at the bottom, he was thrilled.
Finally won!
Jamie Vardy felt like he had lost his life, and this game was definitely the most serious game he had.
Chelsea are strong, ridiculously strong, and even Vardy did his best to take advantage of the Blues, and if it weren't for his own systematic help, United would have been out of the tournament.
Without two brilliant goals of their own, Chelsea would have had the last laugh today.
This is a team that deserves respect!
Vardy stood up and walked towards Frank Lampard, who was sitting on his knees cross, dejected and lonely.
Vardy bent over and stretched out his hand, the smile on his face not frivolous, but full of sincerity.
Frank Lampard looked up slightly, and behind Vardy, the stadium lights shone brightly, filling Vardy's body with a halo of light, like a god, and Lampard froze in place.
Vardy smiled and reached forward again.
Frank Lampard reacted by taking Jamie Vardy's hand and straining himself up.
The two old rivals who loved and killed each other hugged each other tightly.
"You guys did a great job, you almost won!" Vardy genuinely complimented.
Frank Lampard sighed, a little unwilling, a little dismayed.
"It was probably the best game of the season but we still lost, we didn't lose to Manchester United, we lost to you!"
That was Frank Lampard's real idea, Chelsea could have won and eliminated Manchester United, but in the end, Vardy made it all come to naught.
Manchester United is not scary, it is Vardy that is scary!
Vardy smiled and was noncommittal, taking off his shirt and handing it to Frank Lampard.
Frank Lampard didn't hesitate to pull off his shirt and hand it to Vardy, who took it from Vardy and slung it over his shoulder.
This is the first time that the two national team teammates have had a calm exchange on the club field, but they feel sorry for each other.
This is also the two of them taking off each other's jerseys after resembling each other's pants, full of affection.
Vardy would even be tempted to shout at Frank Lampard's back – 'I'm going to invite you next time!' ”
Manchester United players came to the visiting team's fan zone en masse to thank the fans who accompanied the team on the away team, Vardy just wanted to throw his shirt in the stands, but suddenly remembered that it was not his own jersey, very embarrassing, and finally simply took off the shoes on his feet and threw them up, once again attracting the fans to scramble.
Yes, Vardy's original sneakers can sell for nearly 10,000 pounds, and if you pick them up, you can make a windfall!
......
At the post-match press conference, Mourinho has adjusted and has come out of the loss and returned to his former image of a madman, but in the eyes of reporters, he is just holding on.
'It's a shame that Chelsea lost the semi-final, it's a disappointing result!'
'Our players played really well, even if it was the best game they played.
"It's just that Manchester United have the best player in the world – Jamie Vardy, and he changed the tide of the series with one great performance."
"I never felt like a player could do that much on the pitch, not even Ronaldo and Zidane."
"I believe in football as a whole, but today, I feel the power that stars bring to the world, and I think that the football that I insist on is about to change!"
'I'm envious of Mr. Alex Ferguson, who can coach an incredible player like Jamie Vardy.
"Luckily, winning or losing a game isn't the end of the world, we'll do it again next season!"
"Now, I'm sorry, gentlemen, I'm going to comfort my players! Good bye! ”
With that, Mourinho got up and left the press conference room directly, leaving only the reporters to look at each other on the ground.
It seems that this is the style of a madman, even if he will face UEFA's punishment, but he still goes his own way.
However, Ferguson happily accepted the interviews with reporters and answered all questions, fully showing the demeanor of a winner.
Of course, Ferguson did not forget to praise Vardy, in fact, the boss also admitted that without Vardy, Manchester United would have gone home long ago!
The next day, the whole world of football was shaking for the game.
Manchester United is coming!
Vardy is here!
