When Chelsea defended the set-piece, in addition to the midfielders and defenders gathered at the edge of the box, the two players above the attack, Drogba and Shepchenko, also recovered to the edge of the box, but they did not participate in the battle for the top. Like Yu Liang, they are also operating on the periphery.

When Terry cleared the ball, Drogba and Shepchenko immediately made a clear division of labor.

Shepchenko continued to push forward and Drogba rushed towards Yu Liang.

Shepchenko started quickly and was able to reach his peak speed faster, which allowed him to get closer to the United goal faster.

Although Drogba's start speed is a little slower, Drogba's peak speed is not slow. With his explosive power and excellent physicality, he is even more of a threat when he rushes up. The huge body carries the wind when it runs, which brings a stronger shock effect.

When he watched Yu Liang pick up his right leg, Drogba accelerated and then immediately stretched out his right foot and stabbed the still falling football.

With huge inertia and tall stature, Drogba stabbed the ball out before Yu Liang.

When he picked up his right leg, Yu Liang had already calculated the passing route, and he even thought of the celebration after Rooney's goal. However, just as he was about to kick the football, the football disappeared and was replaced by a foot.

It was too late to close his feet, and Yu Liang kicked directly on Drogba's calf.

There was no screaming.

He picked up his right leg just to pass the ball, not to shoot, so it wasn't very powerful.

But even if the force is not great, it hurts to be kicked in the calf like this.

Looking at Drogba's indifferent look, Yu Liang was a little stupid.

How strong is this physical fitness?

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Yu Liang found that he could no longer control his center of gravity. As Drogba rushed in front of him, Yu Liang was directly knocked down by the huge impact.

Backbite!

Webb's whistle sounded just in time.

Yu Liang also thought that he had kicked Drogba's calf and fouled.

But when he looked at Webber, he realized that Webb's finger was pointing at the Chelsea goal, and Drogba stood beside Webber with his hands spread out with a confused expression.

"Did I foul?"

Drogba looked at Yu Liang lying on the ground and looked at Weber suspiciously.

"I didn't foul me!"

Looking at Drogba's bewildered look, Webber smiled, and then gave Drogba a thumbs up: Boy, your acting skills are good!

Then he pointed to his eyes: "I can see clearly!" ”

Drogba knew that there was no way to change the referee's decision at the moment, but he had to state the facts: "Referee, I didn't even touch him!" ”

Listening to Drogba's words, Webber frowned.

I'm also a whistle, how can you fool me like this? You didn't touch him, how did he fall? Could it be that the wind is blowing?

"I really didn't touch him! Oh yes, he kicked me in the shin! ”

Drogba looked at the referee's disbelief and continued to argue.

Webb had a look on his face that I knew I knew, but on second thought, "What did you say, he kicked you in the shin?" ”

"Of course!"

With that, Drogba began to roll up his socks, as if to prove it to Webb. But except for the dark muscles on the calf, there is no trace to prove that he was kicked in the calf by Yu Liang just now.

"Hey, it kicked me in the calf, why didn't it hurt at all?"

Looking at the smooth calves, Drogba also wondered. It doesn't hurt much, but it should be bruised!

Now there are no scars at all.

Thinking of this, Drogba glanced at Yu Liang, and a trace of contempt appeared on his face. Before the game, Makelele also reminded them to pay attention to Yu Liang, do you need to pay attention to people with such poor confrontation ability?

After Weber glanced at Drogba, he glanced at Yu Liang who got up.

Now he feels that Drogba may not be lying, because Yu Liang's body is too thin compared to Drogba. But he only chose to trust his eyes, and what he saw was that Drogba knocked down Yu Liang when he was scrambling.

Manchester United were awarded another free-kick in the middle of the pitch.

This time it was a free-kick that Manchester United had on goal. Giggs's free-kick went around the wall and found Wayne Rooney in the box, but Rooney's header was too straight and was held by Chelsea goalkeeper José Cudicini.

Chelsea's main goalkeeper, Petr Cech, broke his skull after being hit by the knee of Hunt in the opening 20 seconds against Reading in October, but fortunately there was no fear for his life.

It was United's first goal since the opening kick-off.

While United fans were still lamenting Wayne Rooney's goal, Chelsea had launched a counter-attack.

Cudicini tossed the ball straight to Lampard.

Manchester United will not sit back and watch their opponents counter-attack.

In the front court, they started pressing on the spot.

Fletcher rushed straight towards Lampard, who turned sideways and grabbed Fletcher with his body, then flicked his ankle and sent the ball straight to the feet of Ballack on the right.

Yu Liang, who was closest to Barak, blocked in front of Barak for the first time.

Yu Liang did not go up to grab directly, but stuck Barak's inside line sideways, maintaining a body distance from Barak. Ballack's speed is not fast, which prevents Ballack from breaking through, while also being able to continue to disrupt Ballack and buy time for his teammates to defend. The most important point is that with just one step, Yu Liang can block Ballack's forward passing route.

Yu Liang's choice may be fine against the average player, but he is facing one of the world's top midfielders, Ballack.

Soon after the opening, he was pierced by a hairy boy, and Barak's anger has not yet dissipated.

Now another hairy boy appeared in front of him, wanting to block his attack, he was really bullied by the Germans.

Seeing that Yu Liang always maintained a position with him and stuck the inside line, a smile appeared on Barak's face.

He's laughing?

Yu Liang glanced at Barak and frowned.

Why is he laughing?

Does he think my defense is ridiculous?

Yu Liang stared at Barak more cautiously.

Barak, who felt Yu Liang's changes, lightly knocked the football with his right foot as before. After pushing forward for some distance, Ballack gently knocked forward again, and after three consecutive times, Ballack suddenly exerted force, and the outside of his right foot smashed the ball straight out.

Although Yu Liang had a good idea, a sideways body could block Ballack's passing route.

But he was still a beat slower.

He didn't move his body until Ballack knocked the ball out.

And just as he was moving his body, Barak rushed straight from the other side. The pressure brought by the impact of the body directly pushed Yu Liang out of the sideline and completely lost his position.

Barak easily got rid of Yu Liang.

Because when Terry cleared the siege before, Shepchenko had already stepped forward. It's just that Drogba was whistled for a foul because of his pressing, so he stopped when he was about to cross the halfway line. This time Manchester United's attack was stopped by the goalkeeper, and Shepchenko was already waiting for an opportunity to prepare for a counterattack, so the whole person was cruising back and forth in front of United's back line.

When Ballack got rid of Yu Liang, Shepchenko immediately moved from the wing to the middle. As soon as he moved, he directly retracted the Nemanja who was following him towards the middle. Vidic's harvest is not a problem in normal times. But at this point the problem is bigger.

Because fullback Heinze and midfielder Fletcher were unable to return to the defensive position, and Yu Liang lost his position, he was not able to fill the position when he recovered, and there was a big gap on the side.

Such a big gap was like a flat horse in front of Barak.

However, Ballack did not continue to dribble the ball, and made a direct pass to the gap in the ribs. Shepchenko, who had been moving towards the middle, ran backwards, went directly behind Vidic and chased the football...... (To be continued.) )
