The moment Iello passed the ball, the entire home fans at Stamford Bridge jerked to their feet, their pupils narrowed, their arms raised and their mouths shouted in unison.

Ashley Cole stomped his right foot on the right side of the soccer ball about 30 centimeters to the sound of chanting from the stands, waving his arms and feet in one go.

Leo Ferdinand is very familiar with Ashley Cole, why doesn't Ashley Cole know Leo Ferdinand? Both are teammates in the national team and know each other very well, so at this time, the two are competing for a temporary change in the rhythm of the game from the body.

Ashley Cole was very familiar with Rio Ferdinand's down-and-down blocking, so he consciously hit a half-high ball and the ball flew over the thigh of Rio Ferdinand, who was blocked.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar hastily moved from the near corner to the far end, but after all, he is old and his ability to move is not as good as when he was young, so he chose to give up after running two steps, because according to his career of more than ten years, as long as the ball hits the target, it is basically impossible to save.

The football was in the anticipation of the home team fans throughout the stadium, and it hung in the far corner of the goal.

Suddenly, the Stamford Bridge stadium poured out like a flash flood at the scene, and it was out of control.

The stadium director switched to the remote lens of the host position at the first time, and the blue stands of the whole perspective were wildly waving their fists and blue scarves in their hands.

The same is true for China, thousands of miles away, even though it is almost two o'clock in the morning, and those Chinese fans who have become Chelsea fans because of Iroh have burst out of their energy at the moment of scoring.

The camera returns to Stamford Bridge.

Ashley Cole was thrilled to score, and as a very fast full-back, he had so few chances to score that he almost forgot the time of his last goal.

Many times when attacking corners on the side because of the fast factor, they are generally arranged by the manager to protect the defenders of their own corner kicks, and when attacking directly, they are more direct side crosses, and rarely get the opportunity to shoot directly, plus Mourinho is a coach with a very strong desire to control, and there will be no situation where the fullbacks are allowed to squander the opportunity directly, and this quick counterattack is more of a temporary intention, so ...... Being able to score this goal has a lot to do with your motivation.

Of course, it has more to do with Iro, who assists him in scoring.

So he ran to Iello in excitement as soon as he scored, then jumped on top of the latter, waving his fists at the Chelsea fans in the stands and showing his strength.

The response from the home fans was very enthusiastic, and Manchester United were thrilled to lead league title rivals by one goal at home, which means that if the game is finished according to this scoreline, as long as they don't lose in the next round, they can win the league title early! This will be a great help for the team in the FA Cup final and the final stage of the Champions League!

When the time comes...... The terrifying quadruple is not as difficult as imagined!

Mourinho, who was standing in the command area of the home team, hugged his assistant Villas-Boas and another assistant coach, Faria.

They all know the significance of the goal, and the rest of the pressure is on Manchester United, who will have to press hard if they are to win the league title this season, and then Chelsea's good game of quick counter-attacks will come into play, and it will not be difficult to kill the game completely......

Only the aging Ferguson stood on the sidelines, constantly giving the latest instructions to the players on the field, but ...... There is only one ultimate goal, and that is - attack!

※※※

'Chelsea scored in the 27th minute of the first half when their top scorer Ai assisted full-back Ashley Cole to score 1-0 with the home side in front and the visitors behind, meaning the game was tough for Manchester United and they would have to score four goals in the next game if they were to win the league against Chelsea......

The local commentator in Manchester put it mildly, knowing that this is basically impossible, and that there is no team on the planet who can score three goals against Jose Mourinho's side.

Maybe it will appear later, but now, no!

In addition to the commentators who supported Manchester United, Ashley Cole gave Chelsea praise after his goal, and some commentators even awarded the Premier League title to the home team in advance.

……

In the following games, Cristiano Ronaldo increased the number of entries into the box, while United's two wings also increased the number of crosses, consciously taking advantage of Cristiano Ronaldo's ability to grab points in the box.

However, the centre-back duo of John Terry and Carvalho worked very well together and had a clear division of labor, so none of the intensified attacks during the period when United were behind posed an actual threat to Cech's goal, at most it was a few waves of attacks that made the fans in the stands scream.

Playing time flew through United's attacking campaign, and Chelsea's backline became more effective as they got used to United's attacking tempo.

Therefore, Ferguson on the sidelines had to call the midfield to reorganize an effective attack, for a mature team, the attack must be diversified, and the style of play is too monotonous to be easily figured out by the opponent, that is to say, a single attack will cause half the effort, and the power will be greatly reduced.

Without the support of two wings, Cristiano Ronaldo withdrew from the penalty area and began to increase his long-range shots from the middle distance, but the success rate of this attacking method was too low, too far from the goal, leaving plenty of time for the goalkeeper to react.

During this time, Chelsea also organized two quick counter-attacks, but Hargreaves and Vidic will consciously take care of Arlo in the process of the team's transition from attack to defense, so after controlling the most important part of Chelsea's counterattack, the quality of the home team's counterattack dropped directly by two notches.

"Manchester United deserves to be the best team since the beginning of the Premier League, the score fell behind soon and quickly adjusted the mentality into the attack, with the previous goal conceded, the defenders also began to adjust themselves, Chelsea's effective counter-attack point control, thus increasing their own attacking time, if the attack continues, maybe the balance of victory will really be in favor of the away team Manchester United......"

This is the line of the neutral narrator.

Ferguson's overall temporary adjustment of Manchester United was very successful, but Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is not a vegetarian, although the adaptability on the field is not the best in the world, but the top three can still be ranked, he repeated the old trick, let Iroh drag to the center of the position, by the temporary wingers Drogba and Kalou to the two ribs to help defend, increase the defensive level in front of the team's backline, so that Manchester United lost the space for penetration in the middle and long-range shots, so they had to start playing two wings.

This result was expected by Mourinho, so the defensive efficiency was very high, coupled with the active return of the header Ballack, the success rate of the high ball clearance was almost 100%.

In the blink of an eye, the clock was at the end of the first half.

After a long period of attacking frenzy, not only were the visitors feeling a little tired, but even the attacking Manchester United players were a little tired, as Chelsea's defensive system gave them the illusion that they couldn't find the back of the net.

As Cristiano Ronaldo, who had pulled out of the box, gave Wayne Rooney a long-range shot that flew over the crossbar, referee Webber blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

※※※

At the same time as Webb blew the whistle at the end of the first half, many commentators in the studio found that their mouths were extremely dry, and they had been attacking Chelsea during the time when United were behind, and the game was very exciting, they all focused on the game, not realizing that they were very thirsty, and it was not until the end of the first half that the central nervous system received the signal of thirst, which spread to the brains of the commentators.

As the players from both sides of the stadium entered their respective locker rooms, the fans of both sides in the stands also temporarily left their seats and went to the outside of the stadium to buy some hamburgers, cola, coffee and other foods to replenish the energy consumed by the shouting and cheering during the game...... In the second half, they continued to create a terrifying home atmosphere for the home team in the stands.

The Chelsea players were in a good mood when they entered the dressing room, cheering on each other's team-mates.

Unprecedented unity!

Last season, because of the collapse in the second half, we lost the league championship, and this season, in the case of occupying the initiative of the league championship, we will never allow another collapse!

Even if not for the honor, but for the 50 million pounds promised by the boss Abramovich!

The prize money for the main players will definitely not be less than three million pounds!

It's equivalent to an extra year's salary!!

Mourinho, who returned to the dressing room, saw that his players were in very good spirits, and did not have the same harshness as when they played Liverpool away in midweek, directly praising Ello for the assist and Ashley Cole for the goal, and praised the team's backline.

After the words of praise, Mourinho turned the topic to the second half of the game: "I believe everyone here already knows the current situation in the league, as long as we win this game, then as long as we get points in the next round of the league, we can win the championship in advance, think about the huge bonus promised to us by the boss...... Isn't it particularly exciting? So...... We're going to keep the score going in the second half, of course...... If we have the chance, we have to take the opportunity to extend the score, only then can we win the game safely!! ”

Boas, the assistant standing next to Mourinho, nodded, worthy of being a psychologist! The love of the team members is very appropriate!
