Chapter 678: Fatal Loophole
"Gooooo!!oo
The local commentator in Manchester shouted hoarsely.
Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was so beautiful, facing Terry's defense and slamming the ball to the right with his left heel, and then suddenly volleying on the line of the penalty area, Cech was half a beat slow to react because he was blocked by Terry, and the football hung in the top right corner of the goal.
After the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo excitedly turned from the spot, ran to the corner flag on the left side of his attack, and then pulled up his trousers and exposed his well-developed thigh muscles.
Naturally, the Chelsea fans in the stands were very upset, and immediately burst into a shrill chorus of boos.
However, this action is very domineering in the eyes of Manchester United fans, especially female fans, whose eyes are full of stars, obviously guilty of nymphonia.
Cristiano Ronaldo's appearance is very handsome according to Western standards, and he has developed muscles, and his appearance in bed is definitely good, plus a few days ago, the "Sun" broke the news that he crippled five female daughters overnight, which made more Manchester United female fans affectionate to him.
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, was very dissatisfied with the conceded goal, Essien's defensive position was obviously problematic just now, and when Lampard stepped forward to interfere with Fletcher, he also stepped forward recklessly, and was used by Fletcher, decisively passing a penetrating diagonal through ball, which made the entire back line in a panic.
Ferguson, who was standing not far from the next door, was very excited, his whole face was flushed, and his fists kept waving, like a passionate young coach.
Immediately, the on-site director gave the camera to the two head coaches.
The local commentator in Manchester turned his voice and joked: "Cristiano Ronaldo's goal not only helped Manchester United break the deadlock, but also made Ferguson much younger. ”
There was really nothing Cech could do about the goal he conceded, not to mention that the goal was obscured by John Terry, and the angle and power were superior.
Next, the camera panned to Iroh's face again.
Everyone knows that Cristiano Ronaldo and Iroh have always been in a competitive relationship, and in the past season, Iroh pressed Cristiano Ronaldo hard under him, and now the latter is showing signs of counter-pressing, so ...... The live director also hopes that Iroh can find his way back on the field at his home turf!
In the camera, Iroh had a stern expression and was a little surprised by the team's goal in the sixth minute.
Immediately after, the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc.
Seeing this smile, Zhan Jun recovered from the regret of conceding the ball at Chelsea and said: "I believe that the fans sitting in front of the TV at this moment must know very well about this smile of Ielloh, right? This is a precursor to his strength, which has been proven in many games! So...... Let's hold our breath and gather our minds... Focus on TV! ”
Before resuming the game, Mourinho called the errant Essien to his side and explained a few words until the latter nodded his head and let him go.
※※※
The game resumed, with Chelsea taking advantage of the kick-off to quickly turn the flames into United's defensive half.
However, Manchester United are well prepared for Chelsea's comeback at home, and the defensive arrangement is orderly, although not to the point of being airtight, but at least it can press Chelsea's front-hand players to pass the ball accurately.
As a result, Iroh switched his attacking thinking and moved his position back by about ten meters to shorten the distance between him and Modric.
As the run-in time with Modric increased, the tacit understanding between the two also climbed.
However, United have relied on the video footage of Chelsea's home win over Tottenham Hotspur to effectively restrict the passing routes of Luka Modric and Elo.
In the ninth minute, Iello approached Luka Modric, who was holding the ball in the middle, on the left flank, who immediately passed the ball over and then moved in the same position that the two had trained to run before the game.
As soon as Iello attracted Fletcher's defence, he immediately slammed the ball with his heel on Modric's running path, and then, suddenly activated on the spot, forcing the defending Hargreaves to pull Arllo's shirt with his hand.
But what he didn't expect was that Iroh would stagger, take a step back, and then take advantage of the moment Hargreaves let go, and Modric's ball was also passed.
Fletcher had to play a cross-play with Hargreaves, with the former chasing Ailo and the latter running to Luka Modric on the other side.
Iro's long legs stretched out and stopped the ball steadily, and Fletcher, who rushed up from the side, slammed into his shoulder, but Iroh was well prepared to withstand Fletcher's impact, but he still couldn't avoid stumbling two steps.
Rio Ferdinand saw the opportunity and tried to steal from the side, but Iello poked the ball with his toe as if he had an eye on the side, and stabbed the ball to Drogba in the arc of the box.
Nemanja Vidic took his position and made small movements behind him to avoid Drogba's comfortable turn and shoot.
But Drogba didn't intend to shoot, but pushed the ball back with the arch of his foot.
Whew-w
At the same time, a burst of chanting erupted from the stands.
Because it was Aelo who appeared in Drogba's ball-making position!
Left-back Patrice Evra knew something was wrong and rushed to fill in the position of Leo Ferdinand, who had rushed forward.
But what he didn't expect was that Iroh would pick up his right foot directly from the right position at the top of the arc of the penalty area and shoot from a distance!
"--Shot !!"
With a 'bang' sound, the ball flew from the right side of Evra's body, which made the blocking action, to the goal.
Veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was ready when he saw Elo's shot, but when he saw the ball disappear in front of his eyes, he instinctively raised his arms up and just fired a powerful shot high over the crossbar.
Immediately, an exclamation erupted from the stands.
“oh-shit!! Almost!!! Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker commented with a look of regret.
A frightened Van der Sar patted his chest and then high-fived Vidic in celebration.
Looking at the football that was pounced, Iroh pouted helplessly, and then looked up to the sky and sighed.
"From Iro's expression, we can clearly see that I feel very sorry for the unmarked shot just now and didn't score!"
Zhan Jun immediately blurted out.
Ferguson is much worse off the pitch than the Manchester United players on the pitch.
His attention was on the team's defensive leakage, and if it weren't for Van der Sar's instinctive quick reaction, the score would have been equalised......
Once or twice you need a goalkeeper to defuse the opposing player's shots, it's fine, but if that's the case, there will be a problem with the strict zhòng.
So Ferguson ran to the side and shouted at Hargreaves: "Keep an eye on No. 9, don't let him take the ball and handle the ball lightly!" ”
※※※
With Hargreaves marking Airoh full-time, the pressure on United's backline is immediately much less, so to speak...... Immediate results.
However, the most feared thing on the football field is the word 'change'.
As the number of games increased, Iroh became more and more experienced, and he also had his own set of rules for man-to-man defense.
Hargreaves is one of two central midfielders in United's four-four-two formation, meaning that Vidic and Rio Ferdinand are now left with only one in front of Fletcher to keep an eye on Elo, which is not enough for the formidable Chelsea midfield attacking group.
Iroh consciously reduced the number of dribbles he had on his left or right rib and switched to his teammates making the ball.
Slowly, Ferguson also noticed the changes on the field, and he immediately realized that if Hargreaves continued to target Arrow, it would definitely cause unexpected results, maybe ...... will also take care of one or the other, but ...... But he couldn't make up his mind.
In his subconscious, Iroh is even more threatening!
In the eighteenth minute, Modric dribbled the ball in the middle and suddenly passed the ball to Ielloh, Hargreaves instinctively stepped forward to defend, but Ailo did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball back.
Just as Hargreaves was about to turn around and continue to get stuck in Iroh's inward route, Modric, who was holding the ball, approached Iro, and in an instant, multiple thoughts appeared in his mind.
Is it from here to break through, or continue to seek opportunities to cooperate? Or help Iroh out of trouble?
However, reality did not allow him much time to think, and at five metres from Eiro, Modric played the ball to Frank Lampard on the right flank, a change that caused another centre-back, Fletcher, to become nervous and move sideways to stand in front of Frank Lampard to prevent a long-range shot.
However, Lampard had no desire to shoot on his own, and only provided the assist for tactical coordination, so he directly crossed the ball back, but the power was too great.
Modric was now unmarked and Hargreaves was hesitating to move laterally to defend Modric when the latter's legs were spread wide and the ball leaked.
Frank Lampard is passing to Ielloh!
Hargreaves didn't hesitate to stick to Iroh to prevent him from turning to face the goal, but Iro's next choice made him undecided.
Iello made a right-footed arch with his back to goal and the ball rolled onto Modric's path.
Interestingly, Modric's path was only a short two metres away from Hargreaves, as if to draw him up to defend.
In the flash of lightning, Hargreaves still decided to defend Hargreaves with the ball, because if he was allowed to pass, then the back line would be dangerous!
Before we knew it, there was a fatal hole in United's solid defence.
