Chapter 701: Half-Time Draw

After the goal, Iello was very calm, and did not run to the corner flag area to raise his arms and shout as excitedly as Cristiano Ronaldo, he just turned to face the northeast of the pitch and pointed his finger at the LCD screen.

Immediately, the score on the big screen changed from 1:0 to 1:1 as if following Iroh's order.

The score changed, and Iroh smiled and turned again and hooked his finger at Modric, who provided him with a subtle assist, meaning to celebrate with him.

After the run-in in the first half of the season, the cooperation between Modric and Ello can be said to be more and more tacit, and each other can basically pass the ball in place without looking at the ball, just like David Silva and David Villa in the Valencia era, and this time it is not far from ten, Modric suddenly accelerated past Carrick and Fletcher's defense in the midfield, and passed a very chic outside instep pass, which gave a large amount of advance and was very suitable for a speed-type player like Elloh to sprint, In the end, Hargreaves was able to get rid of the tackle and single-handedly face goalkeeper Van der Sar.

This qiē is all thanks to Modric's scalpel-like precision.

Ten seconds after the goal, the camera was always focused on Iro, who scored the goal, so the commentators in the live studio focused on Iro.

'It was a very beautiful midfield attack, and the essence of the goal was the Chelsea midfielder's quick pass in midfield, and Croatia international Luka Modric, who joined Chelsea this season, also played an important role, especially after receiving Drogba's return pass, choosing to force his way through the Carrick and Fletcher defence, allowing him to face the entire Chelsea backline...... The most important thing is the last pass, which is very in tune with Ai's running, which is often referred to as a tacit understanding of passing and running, so that Ai can take the ball and face goalkeeper Van der Sar single-handedly, and then easily break the net. ”

The commentator of Croatian national television said excitedly.

This is a high-quality midfielder from their country, and Modric's ability to play such an outstanding level for Chelsea in his first season against a world-class team like Manchester United is enough to make him feel a great honor as a commentator, especially as the league deepens, Modric and Iello are more and more cooperative, and his future must not be underestimated.

As the number of players joining in the celebration increased, the live director also replayed the whole process of the goal in slow motion.

Zhan Jun, who sat down again, was still excited, and shouted: "Iroh's speed is vividly reflected in this moment, he forcibly overtook Hargreaves between lightning and flint, and then relied on his own characteristics of running faster and faster in the case of malicious fouls behind the opponent's back, so that Hargreaves shoveled into the air, and he was calm and terrible in the face of the goalkeeper, easily sent the ball into the far corner to help the team equalize the score on the field!" ”

'We could see the chemistry of several of Chelsea's midfielders in this brilliant goal, with a series of touches that made the United midfield defence look like nothing, and Luka Modric's escape was the finishing touch...... The following right-footed outside instep pass was dashing and precise, prompting Ai's pace to be perfectly reflected in this attack again, and Hargreaves' speed was like a scrapped Jetta in front of him, slow ......"

BBC commentator Lineker said humorously.

"Wonderful and nice break-through and passing!! Ai's acceleration is still amazing, in this world, it is estimated that no defender can keep up with his sprint speed, it is too amazing, Hargreaves behind him is ready for a red card, but still did not let Ai stay in place, and let him chase the football, easily face Van der Sar and send the ball into the goal, this is the omnipotent Ai we are familiar with! ”

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray is just as excited.

Thousands of miles away in China, those fans who support Iello and Chelsea are happy like children, excited, while those fans who love Manchester United from the bottom of their hearts seem very helpless and entangled, according to their imagination, Ailo is excellent, and Manchester United won the game, but according to this situation, it seems that Chelsea has a tendency to turn defeat into victory......

……

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was standing in the Chelsea defensive half, and Rooney looked at each other tacitly, and they could see a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes, this is the omnipotent Iro! When you punch him in the face, he'll quickly pull him back......

Although Ferguson was very dissatisfied with the goal, he did not yell at the backline, Hargreaves was mentally prepared for a red card, and he did not stop Elloh, what can be done? Angry at Hargreaves for being too slow?

No kidding, it's a natural speed! The day after tomorrow is impossible to make up for coming back!!

But...... Fletcher and Carrick can knock and knock, and the defense just now is the reckless pursuit of Drogba by the two, ignoring Modric on the last pass, otherwise Modric will not be used.

※※※

When the game restarted, Manchester United took advantage of the kick-off to quickly organize a wave of attacks, wanting to quickly overtake the score again, but Chelsea's defenders were not vegetarians, and their attention was very concentrated, and goalkeeper Cech was also holding his breath and waiting for the battle, without the slightest relaxation.

The attack also ended with a shot from Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney's non-stop shot went straight wide of the post.

Mourinho's facial expression on the pitch has improved significantly, and in his mind, picking up a point at Old Trafford is also a good option, and it is perfectly acceptable to maintain a four-point lead with a game in hand.

Of course...... To beat Manchester United away would be even better!

After all, the Champions League knockout rounds will start at the end of February, and the League Cup final with Manchester United in early March, the FA Cup, will be ...... Fighting on multiple fronts, it is still unknown whether you can maintain the advantage of the league, and you must win it steadily when you grasp the points.

Manchester United were beaten by Chelsea in a series of competitions last season, and it is inevitable that this season will not burst into a stronger fight.

Winning the game is urgent.

United had learned the lesson of conceding goals before, and the players on the pitch were very self-adjusting, and there was no recurrence of Modric's calm breakthrough with the ball, which meant that Chelsea's attack was temporarily limited.

The attacking threat had to rely on Iro's individual ability again to create a chance to open the scoring.

However, in the remainder of the first half, Iroh created a lot of free space, but unfortunately it was wasted by Drogba and Modric......

Iello himself wanted to get a direct shot on goal, but the United defenders didn't give him that chance at all, not even a well-placed free-kick, and it was clear that Ferguson had a targeted plan for the game before the game, and also made a record of the team's equaliser after the goal.

Similarly, Chelsea's defenders have been very tight against United's attacking heart Cristiano Ronaldo, and they are no less than the level of United's defensive Arlo.

As the core players of both sides of the game were confined to each other, the game instantly became much duller.

The shots that appear on camera are the defenders fouling Iello or Cristiano Ronaldo.

This situation lasted until the end of the first half.

Referee Webb blew the whistle for the end of the first half without giving a second of stoppage time.

Listening to the referee's whistle, Iroh reluctantly stepped on the football on the sole of his foot, and with a toe pick, the football was held in his arms, walked to Webb, handed the ball over, and complained about the foul on him by the Manchester United players without giving a card.

This would have given the referee Webber the impression that he would be more mindful of such fouls in the second half.

"Police referee Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the two sides entered the dressing room 1-1, and it has to be said...... Except for two wonderful goals in the first half, the rest of the time was relatively boring, and the attention of both sides of the game was more on defense, but then again, this is normal, after all, this is the focus of the championship and no one can afford to lose......"

With the referee's whistle, Zhan Jun nodded and said.

It is worth mentioning that before the players of both sides entered the tunnel, there was a scene of Eelo and Cristiano Ronaldo high-fives and encouraging each other.

BBC commentator Lineker said: "Before the two sides entered the dressing room, the aces of both sides were still in the mood to high-five, which means that they were more satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but I don't know if the two sides were still in such a mood to high-five after the game?" Let's wait and see the second half after the break of fifteen minutes......"

As the home players entered the dressing room, all eyes were on manager Alex Ferguson.

In a sense, their table xiàn is okay.

But if you look at it from the point of view of defensive attention, it is that there was a fatal mistake, especially the combination of Carrick and Fletcher in the middle, which was too weak.

Lack of defensive power.

What they didn't expect was that Ferguson did not rant at the players who made mistakes in the first half, but expressed his lack of anticipation before the game, and finally explained the tactics of the second half.

Ferguson handed over the responsibility of defending Iroh to South Korean Park Ji-sung, because his physical fitness is the best in the team, and the Korean has always been known for his fighting spirit, so handing over Iroh to him to defend should be twice the result with half the effort.

The offensive tactic is to require Cristiano Ronaldo to use his ability to grab points and insert more into the penalty area, not to stay outside the box all the time.

From Ferguson's understanding of Cristiano Ronaldo, the closer he gets to the box, the more dangerous he is.
