Manchester United's attack showed signs of recovery, and before Mourinho, who was standing in the home team's command area, could not give a warning, the players on the pitch began to adjust themselves, and Essien consciously increased his control of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Physical, not slow and physically strong, it is perfect for a player like Cristiano Ronaldo

But as long as the football is at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, he will be able to play a lot of tricks, which will double the pressure on Essien, but with the help of his national team teammate Bosingwa, it is difficult to create good chances, and it is even more difficult to score himself.

But then again, his subtlety caused the excitement of the Manchester United fans who came to the scene to cheer, and the cheering and shouting have increased significantly, but under the suppression of the home fans, there is not much to do.

'Cristiano Ronaldo has been very active and active on the ball during this time, and Essien, who was in charge of marking him at half-time in this game, looked struggling and if this high pressure situation continues, there is a high risk of a lack of concentration......

As soon as Zhan Jun's words fell, Fletcher passed the ball directly to Cristiano Ronaldo, who retreated to a deep position, at the arc of the Chelsea defensive half, only to see the latter turn around, Essien pounced without thinking, this is the defensive task assigned to him by Mourinho, and Cristiano Ronaldo must not be allowed to kick his own rhythm, otherwise it will cause a lot of pressure on the team's defense.

Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to be prepared, seeing Essien rushing up, pulling the ball back with the sole of his left foot, and then flicking the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot, his body turned 90 degrees, looking like he was going to pass the ball to Berbatov, who was retreating.

Sure enough, Essien instinctively stretched his left leg to cut off Cristiano Ronaldo's passing lane.

However, after Essien stretched out his left leg, he regretted it, and Cristiano Ronaldo hurriedly pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot, and used the skillful little technical action of his foot to pass through Essien's small goal - after pulling the ball back with his right foot, he then flicked the ball towards Essien's goal with the outside of his right foot.

"--Beautiful!" The local commentator in Manchester chanted.

In his eyes, Cristiano Ronaldo's action is really handsome.

Of course, what excites him the most is that there are no Chelsea players behind Essien, only Bosingwa is pressed on his right side ready to defend, as for the left rib area, it is equivalent to a vacuum, and many years of commentatorial career made him realize that this is a great opportunity!

Essien instinctively moved to the right, trying to use a foul to block Cristiano Ronaldo's breakthrough.

Because he was aware that there was no one behind him, he had to rely on his ability to stop Cristiano Ronaldo.

But I have to say...... The ideal is skinny, but the reality is cruel, and Cristiano Ronaldo clearly anticipated Essien's next move, so he made a big turn to the left, completely out of Essien's control.

In the end, Essien had to throw his entire body out in an attempt to knock Cristiano Ronaldo to the ground.

There is no doubt that this is a standard move for a yellow card.

Deliberately committing a foul while losing control of a defender.

Webber, the referee who played the game against the Kings, has already put the whistle in his mouth, and as long as Cristiano Ronaldo falls to the ground, then he will not hesitate to stop the game.

In the past, Cristiano Ronaldo would have sat on the grass and complained to the referee, but now he will not, after physical contact with Essien, he did not choose to fall to the ground, but staggered forward.

"Dangerous !!" Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker realised it was a very dangerous defensive action.

Seeing his national teammate Cristiano Ronaldo stumbling on his feet, Bosingwa realized that this might be a great opportunity for him to shine when he first joined Chelsea, and rushed forward without hesitation, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who stumbled under his feet, used the strong explosiveness of his feet and the support of his hands to stabilize his body, and poked the ball to Berbatov, who was pulled to the arc of the penalty area, at the moment when Bosingwa stepped forward, and then slammed forward.

Berbatov has a very strong sense of making the ball, never sticking the ball at his feet, and before he can get on top of Terry, he has the space to attack the left flank, that is, behind Bosingwa.

Terry cursed Bosingwa for his brainless behavior, but he didn't hesitate at his feet and turned to close the hole.

By the time Bosingwa realised he had made a tactical mistake, Cristiano Ronaldo was already speeding past him like a red bolt of lightning.

Cristiano Ronaldo faced Terry's reinforcement and first made a feint cross, taking advantage of the change in tempo to continue to move the ball towards the baseline.

By this time, Chelsea already had two points in front of goal, Berbatov and Wayne Rooney, which put Carvalho and Ashley Cole under double the pressure.

Petr Cech watched Cristiano Ronaldo, who had broken through to the bottom line, and it was clear that he wanted to take advantage of his height to pick up the ball early.

There was chaos in front of the door.

Cristiano Ronaldo slid the ball to the bottom line and the edge of the penalty area on the left side of the box and suddenly an inverted triangle pass was passed to the ground, and Terry fell to the ground to block it for half a beat.

Carvalho and Ashley Cole's attention was focused on Berbatov at the front point, and they didn't notice the sudden retreat of Rooney in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo's pass was very comfortable, it can be said that it was a man to the ball, Rooney directly picked up his left foot at the penalty spot and shot!

Ashley Cole and Carvalho subconsciously fell to the ground to block, and Cech quickly moved from the near corner to the far corner.

But Rooney's ball was kicked fast and tricky, and the ball flew into the net almost against the inside edge of the right-hand post.

※※※

The entire stadium at Stamford Bridge became incredibly silent at this moment, as if the pause button had been pressed and there was no sound.

It was only a half-time before the Chelsea fans in the stands erupted in a neat boo as they saw the annoying Manchester United players flaunting their might right under their noses.

Rooney was very excited after the goal, remembering the boos from the stands during the warm-up, and he rushed to the bottom of the Chelsea fan gathering area, shouting and putting his right index finger to his lips to shut them up.

Of course, the Chelsea fans in the stands won't shut up because it's their home stadium, so how could they be silenced by the visitors' actions?

An even more shocking boo followed.

After the celebration, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo consciously looked in the direction where Iroh was standing, and then the corners of their mouths went up.

Iroh rolled her eyes, it was clear that it was...... Provocation!

But...... You have to let them know the consequences of provoking on their own turf!

Immediately, he gave Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo a thumbs up.

At the same time, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the thumbs-up Ailo in surprise, because they had the impression that Ailo would not admit defeat so lightly.

That's impossible!

Sure enough, half a second later, Iroh turned his thumbs up upside down again.

Now it was Rooney's turn and Cristiano Ronaldo rolled their eyes.

They knew that Iroh wouldn't give up so lightly.

……

When the replay restarted, it was already the 35th minute of the first half, which means that there were only about ten minutes left in the first half, and the maximum of injury time was 11 minutes, after all, there were no injuries in the first half, and the net game time was very long.

This kick-off, the backward Chelsea did not directly hit the ball directly into the Manchester United half, but handed it over to Modric and Frank Lampard to patiently organize the attack and advance layer by layer.

"Oh? Chelsea were very patient after conceding the goal and did not rush to deliver the ball to Manchester United's half, which is the essence of a strong team because they tend to score the ball in unexpected situations, so there is no need for aggressive attacks, bluffing......" Sky TV commentator Andy Gray nodded in praise.

Since Chelsea is not in a hurry to attack, Manchester United players are not in a hurry to attack, anyway, they are leading the score, the opponent is not in a hurry, what are they anxious about?

That's it...... The two sides started the game in midfield.

In order to ensure that the number of people in the midfield is not at a disadvantage, Malouda in the winger position has returned to the wing-back position to assist the defense on the wing and press the attack when attacking.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, time came to the end of the first half.

Ferguson sat in the dugout with his legs crossed, clearly pleased with the situation on the pitch and confident that his team would head into the dressing room with the lead.

At this point, Elo, who had been back in response to Frank Lampard's pass, suddenly noticed that Hargreaves, who had been defending him, was much looser than when his team was behind, and he realised that this was a good opportunity!

Want to get into the dressing room with a lead? Don't even think about it!

Iello raised his hand for the ball about 40 metres from the touchline, and Lampard didn't hesitate to pass the ball over before running forward to meet it.

Hargreaves glanced at Frank Lampard before quickly looking at Iro, who had received the ball, ready to defend.

Iro, who received the pass, did not stop the ball in place, but suddenly started violently on the spot, and the outside of his right foot moved the ball to the right, with great force, which was ...... The rhythm to break?

Hargreaves guessed correctly, Iello is just going to break through!
