When Chelsea relied on their midfield advantage to constantly attack Li Lei in front of Manchester United's goal, Manchester United did not have a chance to counterattack.

Compared with Arsenal this season, this Chelsea midfield is certainly strong enough, but after all, it is still inferior in field control, and it can't be like Arsenal did before, almost pressing Manchester United at Old Trafford.

In doing so, United's attack also launched a fierce comeback against Chelsea in the final stages of the first half. Ryan Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo have all tested Chelsea goalkeeper Jonathan Cudicini with their shots, but unfortunately, the Chelsea goalkeeper was just as good in front of goal today, successfully protecting the door behind him with his own hands.

In addition, Scholes was forced to the ground by Makelele in the Chelsea penalty area in the 44th minute of the first half, which was undoubtedly a scene that shocked the Chelsea defense into a cold sweat.

It's a pity that no matter how the Manchester United fans on the scene, the Manchester United players on the field and Ferguson on the sidelines complained and protested, Bennett, the referee of the game, did not award Manchester United a penalty, but warned Scholes with a yellow card.

It is disputed whether Scholes's fall this time was a fake, but Scholes himself was directly replaced by Ferguson because of this yellow card. Fearing that Scholes would be sent off, causing him to miss the FA Cup final through suspension, the anxious coach didn't even wait for the end of the first half, and directly replaced him with Saha, showing his attitude towards the strategic abandonment of this game vividly.

The substitution also led directly to United's attacking performance in the second half, and even less than the performance in the second half of the first half, and the threat to Chelsea's door was really lackluster.

In such a situation, Chelsea naturally did not take it lightly and immediately increased their investment in attacking front, trying to open the deadlock first in the second half.

It's a pity that although Manchester United's attack is due to Scholes's downfall, the defensive level has not been weakened much.

And the weakness of their slightly blunt offensive style is clearly revealed at this moment. Due to the lack of necessary flexibility, once the opponent's defense has adapted, it must be honestly increased little by little, but it is often ineffective and half the result.

And outside of the first time, after continuous saves in the first half, Li Lei's self-confidence and state in the second half have improved again, and it is still a problem that they can't solve.

In the 58th minute of the second half, Chelsea crossed diagonally from the right side of the penalty area, Gudjohnsen directly chested the ball past Brown, and then directly buckled Phil Neville with his left foot, and made a beautiful way out of the defenders in the Manchester United penalty area, which amazed everyone.

But it was in Chelsea's best scoring opportunity so far that Gudjohnsen, who had a one-on-one chance, fell at the feet of Lee Lei again.

That's right, it's at the feet, and it wasn't Li Lei's hands that made the final save this time.

Against Li Lei, this time Goodjohnsen's solo chances were significantly better. Because at this time, Li Lei was still waiting to stay on the goal line, and did not attack in front of the Danish striker before his shot as he did in the first half against Glen Shial, and there were obviously more options in terms of shooting routes and options.

In addition, Gudjohnsen is obviously much calmer than Glen Charles when facing Li Lei. Pushing the goalkeeper's feet, Icelandic skates calmly chose the most embarrassing route and footwork for the goalkeeper in the face of this one-on-one opportunity.

However, Li Lei's maturity and calmness were obviously unexpected by him.

At the beginning, in the daily training, after practicing the kung fu on both hands almost completely, Li Lei did not have any ambition to be complacent, and soon put more effort on his feet. During that time, the splitting and stretching that made him miserable every day became his unforgettable memory.

However, even so, Li Lei did not give up. In terms of flexibility, which is his weakness, he has been working on it continuously.

Because he knows very well that although the goalkeeper's gloves are his most iconic and exclusive equipment in football, sometimes the feet are often better than the hands.

And this moment is undoubtedly the best reward for his hard work in the past.

In the face of Gudjohnsen's push, he immediately reacted, twisted his waist to the right, and while arching his right leg, his left foot instantly straightened at an angle closest to the ground, maximizing the defensive area.

In the end, Li Lei's left toe managed to get Gudjohnsen's push into the far corner to roll off the line and pass the far post.

Such a steady, comfortable and invincible performance on the goal line made the Manchester United fans at the scene can't help but give Li Lei a warm applause, and at the same time, it also dealt a heavy blow to the self-confidence of Chelsea's attacking players.

Is this all right?!

At this moment, Goodjohnsen's stunned movements and expressions of holding his head and covering his face seemed to be silently expressing his helplessness towards Li Lei's indestructibility in front of the door at this moment.

He is by no means the only one in the Chelsea squad who feels this way about Li Lei.

After Ferguson unabashedly showed his intention to use up the last two substitutions of the game in a row after the 65th minute of the second half, replacing Phil Neville and Cristiano Ronaldo with Kleberson and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, the number grew rapidly.

After Manchester United came close to signalling that they would take the gold, Chelsea did not give up. Compared to Manchester United, who have already devoted themselves to preparing for the FA Cup final, Chelsea, who have only the last two league games left this season, including this one, are still quite obsessed with winning this game.

For them as upstarts in the Premier League, it is of extraordinary symbolic significance to defeat Manchester United, who have dominated the Premier League since its inception, even if they have now entered a rebuilding period and officially bought Manchester United.

So, after Manchester United's on-field lineup was weakened again, instead of reining like a gentleman, they stepped up their attack.

The departure of Ronaldo and Phil Neville made Manchester United's already weak midfield completely crushed in front of Chelsea like a torrent of steel, and the situation completely entered Chelsea's control.

The almost one-sided situation got the London TV commentator excited: "Manchester United have given up on this game and it is only natural that Chelsea will score next. ... Oh! Chance, Joe Cole catches the ball with his beautiful back to get rid of, does not adjust, and crosses directly! Frank (Lampard)! It's Frank!! He suddenly appeared in the box and the United defenders were unguarded! Opportunity! Opportunity!! Shot!! Ball in—"

The moment Frank Lampard turned to receive the ball in the box, the commentator was already shouting for the goal.

But at this moment, a agile figure that suddenly rose in front of Manchester United's goal, stretched out, directly surprised him.

The tall figure, as tall as an eagle with flapping wings, is insurmountable, and comes roaring with despair!

Hopelessness of powerlessness!!

Naked * naked despair!!
