Although Van der Sar was 'bombed' off the field by Elo's shot, it did not affect his next game status, because as early as four years ago in the group stage of the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, he had a kick to break the main goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national youth team into a broken finger.

In the second half, it was easy to play again, but in the first few minutes of the game, the on-site commentators almost exclusively focused on the topic of the departure of Van der Sar, the shooting guide of Ailo.

Of course, the biggest reason is that the drama that happened on the pitch did not attract too much attention from them.

The first five minutes were nothing to look forward to, moving forward as if the two sides were agreed, and there was no attack as open in the first half, even with Iroh and Cristiano Ronaldo, moving slowly with the overall tempo of the team.

It seems to be accumulating, and it seems to be drifting with the flow.

This situation is no problem for Chelsea who are ahead, but it is extremely unusual for Manchester United, who are behind because the unhurried forward attack will not allow them to equalise the score at all, and even deplete them to the last bit of morale.

It wasn't until the seventh minute of the second half, the 52nd minute of the game, that the long-dormant United launched their first truly threatening attack, pushing through guò layers to burn the flames into the 30-metre area of Chelsea's defence, with left-back Patrice Evra pressing onto the touchline in the second half to participate in the team's attack.

Patrice Evra glanced up at his team-mate's movement in the box, then grabbed a cross before Bosingwa, Cristiano Ronaldo fought his way through Terry's iron-blooded defence, jumped sideways to head the ball, Cech pressed down in a hurry, stretched his long legs, blocked the ball, Ashley Cole twisted a big foot and kicked the ball forward.

"What a pity!" The Manchester United TV commentator said regretfully.

Mourinho saw that his team lacked enthusiasm after the start of the second half, so he called Modric in the warm-up area to come over, and he wanted to use the tacit understanding between Aiello and Modric to extend the score.

The 2:1 score is too unsafe, and it always feels like there will be conceding goals in defense again and again.

Unconsciously, Mourinho's coaching style has gradually changed and developed in the direction of attack.

Sometimes he himself will be surprised, from his coaching Benfica to Porto, and now Chelsea, his firm defensive concept has changed qualitatively with Chelsea's attack, but this change is not to make him a pure attacking style like Wenger, but to increase the support for the attack in the case of stabilizing the backline, especially when Iello has super personal ability in the front court, a one-goal lead can no longer satisfy his appetite, and he must win!

In the 62nd minute, Modric replaced Ballack to strengthen the attack.

"Oh? Mourinho took the lead in making substitution adjustments, replacing Ballack with a stronger attacking Modric, which is definitely a signal to strengthen the attack, can't a one-goal lead satisfy Mourinho's appetite? Do you want to beat Manchester United at the new Wembley Stadium? ”

Lineker said suspiciously.

Immediately, his commentator nodded and said: "According to this substitution adjustment, it is very possible, Manchester United is now weak in midfield organization, there is no way to organize an attack that makes Chelsea feel threatened, take advantage of this time to strengthen the attack, maybe it is really possible to expand the score on the field, and then you can control the game comfortably." ”

"I really can't see it, Mourinho chose to strengthen his attack at this time, this is to force Manchester United to death!"

At the same time, Liu Jianhong said: "Mourinho's intention to replace Modric is very obvious, using the tacit understanding between Modric and Ailo to expand the score, so as to win this final safely!" After the Carabao Cup final, they have the second leg of the FA Cup quarter-finals and the Champions League quarter-finals, and they still have two league games and a make-up game to play before the two international games at the end of March and the beginning of April......

※※※

Ferguson, who was sitting in the coach's seat, couldn't sit still a little and beckoned his assistant to bring Hargreaves and Berbatov over in the warm-up area and wait for the dispatch.

However, Ferguson did not dare to use up two substitutions at one time, because Van der Sar's end has already used up one substitution, if two are replaced at one time, and then there is an injury, then it is very cost-effective to play more with less.

After a brief period of contemplation, Ferguson decided to put Hargreaves on first, his defensive qualities were not possessed by the veteran Stells, and coupled with Scholes's age, who struggled for more than an hour in the final, it was time to enjoy the applause of the United fans in the stands.

Two minutes later, United made the second change of the game, bringing on Hargreaves for Paul Scholes, who had dropped significantly.

It is worth mentioning that when Scholes left the field, fans on both sides in the stands subconsciously applauded him and paid tribute to the 35-year-old veteran!

Hargreaves' presence has strengthened United's defensive hardness in the middle, and with Park Ji-sung's cooperation, it will be difficult for Arlo to break through and face the backline directly.

Hargreaves, who had just come on the pitch, was very clear about not allowing Iello to play his rhythm.

Of course, in the face of Hargreaves, who came to find confidence as soon as he came on the field, Iroh also had his own way of dealing with it, that is, using his role as a magnet to pull out the space for his teammates to pass, and his own role has also changed from a finisher to a creator.

In the 69th minute, Modric suddenly accelerated to get rid of Carrick's defense and quickly passed the ball to Eiro, Hargreaves and fullback Park Ji-sung instinctively approached Elo, but Airo suddenly pushed with the arch of his foot, passed the ball back to Modric, and then accelerated forward.

Park Ji-sung and Hargreaves instinctively followed Arlo back, only for Modric to move the ball down the middle with the outside of his right foot.

This frightened the two central defenders and left wing-back Evra, Carrick was easily passed by Modric, but Park Ji-sung and Hargreaves chose to follow up with Ailo because of their habitual thinking, and at this moment they seemed to forget that Modric also has a strong dribbling ability.

Patrice Evra had to reclaim to the right flank and prepare to fill in when centre-back Nemanja Vidic stepped forward.

And this choice of position also directly led to a clear gap on the left side of Manchester United's defense, Anelka saw the opportunity to suddenly cut forward from the right rib of the attack to the direction of the baseline, and Modric did not hesitate to pass a through ball.

Nicolas Anelka sprinted hard and Patrice Evra had to pull back to the left side of his defence from the box.

However, Modric's passing angle was very tricky, and Evra, who had recovered into the box, had to twist and turn before he could rush towards Anelka, whether it was blocking a cross or a tackle, he fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Unless...... Anelka made a mistake on his own.

It's just that the likelihood is too low.

Luka Modric's passing was very comfortable and Anelka didn't need to stop the ball to cross directly.

Patrice Evra flew to block but didn't tackle the ball, which flew towards goal.

Foster glanced up at the soccer ball in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and did not choose to attack the ball.

Drogba, who was in the middle, looked at the incoming trend of the football and did not jump, the football flew to the back point, that is, the route where Ilo was inserted, but he did not stand in place and watch Iroh top the ball, but retreated two steps.

With Harrow now stuck in the middle between Hargreaves and Park Ji-sung, it is still unknown whether he will be able to get the ball on the ball, and it will be more difficult to get a direct hit.

Park Ji-sung and Hargreaves were stuck on the inside with one person on the inside, while the other was following closely behind Arlo, and he was tugging on his jersey from time to time to cause additional distraction.

As a result, they don't have much time to stare at the soccer ball in mid-air.

Iello suddenly accelerated about 10 meters from the baseline on the left side of Manchester United's defense, and Park Ji-sung behind him instinctively reached for the shirt behind his back.

At this moment, Aelo, who seemed to be running all the time, stretched out his right hand and waved it back, just knocking off Park Ji-sung's palm that wanted to pull the jersey.

What's worse is that Hargreaves, who was stuck on the inside line, didn't know what was going on behind him until Foster moved from the far corner to the near corner, and he realized that there was an unexpected difficulty in defending this time, and the pressure from behind him also surged!

By the time Hargreaves turned his head to interfere with Iroh, the latter had already taken the lead, which frightened Hargreaves, but he was relieved to look at the football in mid-air again.

According to his prediction, jumping now is an early jump, and it is impossible to reach the football at all.

But what he didn't expect was that there were exceptions to everything, and Iroh was like this, when he jumped to the highest point, he didn't fall down at the first time, but suspended in mid-air like a helicopter, 'waiting' for the football!

Leo Ferdinand and Hargreaves, who subconsciously turned their heads to look at the spot where the football landed, 'clicked' at the same time.

They all know that something bad is coming......

However, they were still a little lucky, because Iroh was only five meters from the baseline, and the angle of the shot was not 30 degrees, and the header score was not possible.

However, they fell into a fixed mindset again, and Iroh did not choose to head the ball into the goal, but shook his head to the penalty spot in the United penalty area.

"Danger!"

Goalkeeper Foster's pupils shrank sharply, his body instantly tensed, Drogba picked up his left foot without stopping, and then kicked the ball firmly under the exclamations of the fans at the scene.

Due to the proximity, Foster did not react, but instinctively followed the football sideways.

Then, the ball plunged headlong into the arms of the net......
