In fact, after the first half of extra time, the referee did not immediately ask the players to change the venue.

Instead, he turned a blind eye to the players on both sides of the final to drink water on the sidelines of the front court, press a massage or something, and by the way, listen to the coach's arrangements for the second half of overtime.

Of course, the most important reason is that the referee Michel himself is tired and needs to receive a physical treatment on the sidelines, otherwise the referee will cramp and fall to the ground, and he will definitely become a big laugh in this season's Champions League final.

As the referee of UEFA's current training, he is not willing to leave a stain on his career.

At this time, correspondent Faria also got the latest tactical changes from Mourinho.

Interestingly, the live director had a very wide field of vision, and while the players on both sides were resting, he just caught Faria, Chelsea's fitness coach and assistant, running to the stands where Mourinho was, who then handed Faria a note, and soon the on-site studio commentator gave his own comments.

'Even though Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands, he was able to see further there, so he was able to put pen to paper when there was a problem with the team......

'If Chelsea, who have one man to play, win the Champions League this season, then Faria, who plays the role of guest correspondent, will certainly be a big deal!'

'Chelsea must have made the latest changes at this time, Mourinho used to record the game in his notebook, so the team will definitely have a big change in the second half! Maybe there will be a tactical suppression of Manchester United!! ”

……

After Faria conveyed the latest tactical concept to the players at Mourinho's request, referee Michel also blew the whistle to signal the players of both sides to return to the field immediately and start the fifteen-minute battle in the second half of extra time.

"The players from both sides are on the pitch again, which means that their Champions League journey is in the final stages, and if they can't score in the remaining 15 minutes, then ...... The final will move on to the final stage of the evening - a penalty shoot-out! ”

BBC commentator Lineker said lightly.

Chelsea made one final change before the start of the second half of extra-time, and it was a completely unexpected one, with Joe Cole replacing centre-forward Didier Drogba.

Seeing this substitution, Ferguson was very surprised, Joe Cole's technical characteristics are here, with a certain speed and dribbling ability, it can be said that the body has no body to defend the ability to defend, the role is not as big as Drogba, and Drogba can also help the team when defending.

Joe Cole? But it doesn't work!

Regarding this substitution, Huang Jianxiang also has the same doubts: "Is this substitution adjustment in accordance with Mourinho's requirements?" It stands to reason that Chelsea, who have one less man, should replace Drogba with a defensive player to add depth to their defence, but ...... Replacing technical midfielder Joe Cole is debatable......"

However, they soon learned how this substitution worked.

After a defensive fatigue in the first half of extra-time, Iello stepped into the centre-forward position, using the fit-bodied Joe Cole as a harassing wing-back on the flank, while the actual defence was done by the three fierce men of Frank Lampard, Ballack and Mikel.

When switching from defense to attack, the football was not handed over to Iroh for the first time, but to Joe Cole, who had just been substituted on the field!

Joe Cole's individual ability ensures that he can keep the ball under the two-man defense and pass it out calmly.

In this way, Chelsea's possession rate began to slowly rise, in stark contrast to the situation of being besieged by Manchester United in the first half.

"Chelsea's substitution is not blind, but purposeful, for the absolute disadvantage in the first half of extra time to make a targeted arrangement, using Joe Cole's abundant physical energy to participate in the defense, and then using his superb skills to control the ball well at the feet when switching from defense to attack, so as to enhance their own possession time, that is, directly increase the number and quality of their own counterattacks, which can completely change them from passive to active!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said thoughtfully.

※※※

Chelsea showed clear signs of a comeback in the second half of extra-time, and despite having one man less on the pitch, they had the advantage of slipping.

Whether it's offensive or defensive, you can be very calm.

Manchester United, on the other hand, made a lot of mistakes after the start of the second half of extra time, and even Cristiano Ronaldo was no exception.

In the final analysis, the physical consumption is very strict.

The perfect play of technology is still based on abundant physical fitness.

Of course, this aspect is mutual.

However, because of the spikes, they are better than the Manchester United players in terms of stopping and changing direction in the same physical situation, which means that there is no need to worry about slipping and falling when changing direction during the emergency stop.

In the third minute of extra-time, Chelsea created a killer when Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo's intent was so clear that Essien had anticipated the pass and then cut it off before passing it to Frank Lampard in front of him, who did the same, and the arch of his foot was at the feet of Joe Cole.

The speed of advancement is very fast!

Carrick rushed towards Joe Cole and wanted to break the ball, but the latter had already prepared, using his abundant physical strength to stop the ball directly, and then dunk the ball to the left to widen the distance between him and Carrick, and then use the advantage of speed to eat Carrick raw.

Right-back Brown realized that Joe Cole was going to speed up with the ball, so he rushed forward without hesitation, but at this moment, the latter made a sharp stop, and Brown subconsciously followed the brakes, but the slippery turf did not stop him at the first time, but slid forward half a meter.

Joe Cole was clever enough to take advantage of Brown's sliding distance to get the ball in the opposite direction of Brown.

Breakthrough!

Right-back Brown was broken through, meaning that the entire right side of the defence was forcefully broken, and Rio Ferdinand said hello to Nemanja Vidic and stepped forward to defend his national team-mate Joe Cole.

At the same time, Frank Lampard in the middle was also plugged in at high speed, and the game lasted more than 100 minutes, and with such physical fitness, it is estimated that only the iron man Lampard can get it on the field!

Hargreaves had to keep an eye out for Joe Cole from passing the ball to Frank Lampard from behind, so it was only Nemanja Vidic who defended Ello head-on.

As soon as Rio Ferdinand left the right centre-back position, Iello consciously stepped forward in the open space where the former had left.

Joe Cole's next handling of the ball showed his cleverness, as he deliberately sent a high ball to the right flank of United's defence in order to get the ball around Rio Ferdinand.

Irolo's slam start left Vidic behind in the blink of an eye, but fortunately, Joe Cole's pass was relatively wide, and he still had the possibility of chasing back.

And the game has been going on so far, Iro's physical fitness has also declined very obviously, in order to be able to smooth the ball, he did not directly stop the ball forward like in the regular game, and then chase the ball, but chose to stop the ball firmly at his feet.

When Iroh was about 30 yards from the baseline to take control of the ball, Vidic got stuck in his inside route.

Vidic's defensive strategy was to give up the flanks to block Aillo's inside lane.

For these, Iroh could see at a glance.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and his feet began to move.

The right shoulder sank to make a feint to hold the ball and cut inside, the deceitful Vidic's center of gravity shifted to the left, and then his right foot quickly crossed the football, and the outside of his left foot pushed the ball to the left front, Vidic was not slow to react, and his left foot kicked towards the turf, and the reaction force allowed him to pull his center of gravity back.

But Iro's movements were not finished, after his body followed the movement of his left foot, he violently used the inside of his left foot to buckle the football back, and then the arch of his right foot gently pushed the ball back again, and the football drilled between Vidic's legs.

Vidic watched as the ball rolled under his feet as he moved, and his left foot subconsciously swept over, but he soon realized that something was wrong, because his feet were long and slow, and they stretched out longer, and... The speed of the soccer ball is noticeably faster, which is ......

“oh-my-god!! Crotch !!! Chelsea TV Clive Walker exclaimed.

Vidic's left foot swept and all the weight of his body was gathered on his right foot, and it just so happened that the turf in this area was particularly slippery, and the right foot did not step on it solidly, and slid forward.

"--Whoa"

There was a burst of exclamations from the stands.

And Iroh also gave way to the body, from the side to the guò, that is, to the left of Vidic's body.

Seeing this scene, Ferguson subconsciously took a step back, but fortunately Queiroz helped him.

When the camera returns to the field, Vidic is experienced and naturally knows the consequences of Iroh's past, so it will definitely be a lore!! So...... He couldn't let Iroh pass!

Vidic fell backwards at the same time, his left foot consciously lifted up, wanting to deliberately kick Iroh to the ground, the latter didn't know Vidic's thoughts, wanted to jump up to avoid the foul, but helplessly due to the obvious decline in physical fitness, the height of the jump was not enough, the surface of the left foot was brought by Vidic's toes, and he instantly lost his body center of gravity in mid-air and fell on the turf.

Beep――

Immediately, the referee Michel's whistle also sounded.

All eyes were on him again.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it was Nemanja Vidic who committed the foul, which means he will receive at least one yellow card.

However, the worst thing is...... He already had a yellow card on him.

This is...... The rhythm of 10 to 10?
