Standing in the home team's coach's command area, Ferguson with his arms crossed over his chest, his body straight, his mouth constantly moving and chewing gum, you can see his composure and composure from his side, as well as the planning of this game.

In the 25th minute of the second half, Manchester United were still leading the game, 2-1, and with the advantage of the number on the field, he couldn't find any reason to let them go at this time, remembering the humiliating record against the damned Portuguese Mourinho in the past.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him!

Ferguson, who was on the sidelines, waved his hand and signaled the players on the field to continue to strengthen the attack!

As the pace of Manchester United's attack increased, Chelsea's backline began to make noise, but fortunately their ability to adjust was first-class, and after the lesson of the goal just conceded, they quickly adjusted themselves, allowing United to play the ball on both sides, but not allowing the inside to cut close to goal.

With United's two strikers, Wayne Rooney and Carlos Tevez, not the kind of strong attacking strikers, it will be difficult to get a header between John Terry and Ben Haim.

Chelsea's two wings, Ashley Cole and Pacos Ferreira, were defensive and kept their own side open to Cristiano Ronaldo and Ryan Giggs, giving them space to pass, but as previously stated, Rooney and Tevez are not the kind of strikers who are purely point-grabbing, they are the kind of strikers who have a lot of range of movement, which means they need space to get the most out of themselves.

Of course, the quality of the cross is not in the ranks, but the odds are still too low.

Now that Chelsea have players inside and outside the box, where is the space they need?

Therefore, Manchester United also changed their attacking thinking, no longer blindly crossing from the wing, but using the combination of the side and the middle, and if there is a chance, Carrick and Stels will take a kick in the middle to try their luck.

Can...... As a result, it was not good.

In the blink of an eye, it was the 80th minute of the game, and the situation on the pitch was still skewed in favor of the home team, after all, there was one more player on the field, which meant that there was one more route when passing and receiving the ball.

This advantage becomes even more evident in defence, because Chelsea used wingers to replace central midfielders in order to make up for Mikel's dismissal, so they are destined to invest not too many troops in attack, and it is difficult for Elo, Shepchenko and Joe Cole to knock on the door of Manchester United.

※※※

Jose Mourinho glanced up at the big screen above the pitch, it was the 81st minute of the game, and then he turned his head to look at the situation on the field, Manchester United still dominated the field, even the two central defenders of Rio Ferdinand and Vidic had already pressed past the halfway line, and the two full-backs Brown and Patrice Evra acted as wingers, which ......

Seeing this, Mourinho seems to see hope of an equaliser, because Manchester United have pressed Chelsea for a long time, which has led to a psychological laxity in defence, so that two rib gaps when switching from attack to defense are left.

Of course, Ferguson could see such a glaring rib gap, but the team's prolonged pressure also made him choose to ignore it, as United had been putting pressure on the Chelsea backline for more than five minutes in a row.

And in the nearly half hour of the second half, Chelsea's counterattack did not play a few times, and was basically strangled in the cradle by the players on the field, and Elo, who was known as the biggest threat to Manchester United's backline, did not even touch the football a few times, so it ...... Ferguson was also a bit careless.

Mourinho quickly turned around and shouted at his assistant Boas: "Call Claudio and Salomon to get ready to play!" ”

Yes?

Boas was subconsciously stunned, and when he was pressed and beaten away, he also replaced two forwards to strengthen the attack? This...... Crazy?

It's not like the Jose Mourinho he remembers.

Today...... It seems even crazier!

"Questions?" Mourinho asked when he saw that Boas was stunned.

"Huh? No, no, no, no......" Boas came to his senses, shrugged his shoulders and ran to the warm-up area, calling Pizarro and Kalou.

Jose Mourinho looked at Villas-Boas's back and shook his head, then turned his head to continue looking at the pitch.

Two minutes later, Pizarro and Kalou stood next to the fourth official, waiting to come out.

Since there was no dead ball on the field, the only way to make a substitution was to wait for the next dead ball.

The Old Trafford Stadium director reacted quickly, and it was Michael Carrick who had the ball on the pitch, and he was about 35 metres from the Chelsea goal, so he switched a shot to the fourth official on the sidelines.

This change of footage immediately caused the analysis of commentators from various countries in the studio.

"Is Mourinho finally ready for the last fight? But that's right, with one less player on the road, it's a goal down, and if you lose one goal anyway, you lose two goals and you lose by two goals, so why not replace two defenders to strengthen the attack? Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to hit two more of them, and one of them is possible! ”

"Pizarro and Kalou are both ready to play at the same time? This...... This is a clear signal to intensify the attack, it's just ...... Which two players are replaced? Will you take two defenders off and replace them with two forwards to change the pattern on the field, or will you make no adjustments? …… However, in this case, it will inevitably weaken their overall defensive ability. ”

'Chelsea will make personnel changes, which two players will be replaced? It is impossible for Iroh to change it, because his deterrent power is the greatest, and he is not physically exhausted now, and he can still rush, so ...... Shepchenko? This is very likely, after all, he was too idle in these 80 minutes, and Pizarro replaced Shepchenko, so ...... What about Kalu? Replace the unreliable full-back Pacos Ferreira? ”

……

Commentators are all engaged in speculation about Chelsea's upcoming substitutions.

※※※

The United players on the pitch also seemed to know how Chelsea's substitution was going to go, so Scholes opted to shoot directly from 30 yards down the middle, and although it looked a bit blind, the quality of the goal was really good, just two goals away from the post.

Then the referee blew the whistle and made a substitution on the sidelines.

The result was Joe Cole and Shepchenko, Pizarro and Kalou, replacing a centre-forward and a midfielder with two strikers to strengthen the attacking numbers up front.

"Want to fight to the death?" When Ferguson saw this substitution, the corners of his mouth had a clear curvature, and he was obviously full of ridicule at Mourinho's substitution.

Jose Mourinho's substitution will inevitably change Chelsea's formation from a previous four-three-two to a current four-two-three, which means that as the game progresses, Chelsea's forward position will be disjointed.

However, Mourinho obviously thought through the path and did not think of passing through the midfield at all, but directly launched a long counterattack from the back to reduce the time of football in the midfield.

After all, Iro, Pizarro and Kalou are all more than 1.8 meters tall, except for the slight disadvantage in the middle of the battle, the header duel on the two wings is still very dominant, especially on the left side where Iroh is located, he has good bounce and prediction, and Brown can't bargain on him at all.

The rest of the game was at odds with that of many commentators, as Chelsea's tactics moved from complex to simple, the threat became greater and the division of labour became clearer, with the attack going to Elo, Pizarro and Kalou, while the defence was handed to the back four and two midfielders.

On the contrary, the threat of attack has increased dramatically.

Elo's fighting power was also gradually showing, and after scoring the first goal, he became quiet and began to slowly show his worth at Old Trafford.

Brown played the ball to Pizarro, who kept shaking the outside of his foot to make a one-two, and then suddenly fired a long-range shot from 30 yards out, but for Van der Sar's brilliant save, Chelsea would have equalised.

Then in the corner kick attack, he used his perverted bounce and judgment to get ahead of Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand to head the ball towards the goal, this time it was Van der Sar's brilliant save to save the ball.

No one thought that at the end of the game, Chelsea would be the main opponent with one less player!

In the 87th minute, John Terry pushed Cristiano Ronaldo out of the box and got stuck on Makelele at the edge of the box, making it impossible for Paul Scholes to step forward, and then passed the ball to Sidwell, who pulled out the space, who kept the ball straight to his own attacking left flank.

Brown, who had gradually given up his career as a winger, tensed his whole body and was stepping back with Iro, ready to fight for the ball.

Of course, in the process of retreating, his right hand secretly dragged on the back jersey of Iroh, as long as he made a slight movement, he was mercilessly pulled to the ground, and when he fouled in this place, the referee would not show his cards at all, and he would not even give a warning.

Brown slowly retreated with this thought, but Elo's next move caught him off the rails, as Eloh suddenly stopped as he slowly retreated, leaned his back against Brown, and looked up at the ball.

This change made Brown depressed, but he also looked up at the flying football, which was too high.

Are you really so confident in your bouncing power? Even if you have the current bounce power and Yao Ming's height, you can't stand up to football, right?

However, Iroh's next move made him stunned.

With his back to Brown, Iroh looked up at the soccer ball in the air, looking like he was about to jump to the top of the ball, but ...... Then he slammed to the right.

Brown was originally going to interfere with Iroh's jump, but Iro's sudden dodge just now made his body subconsciously crash into Iro, but was Iroh so easy to knock away?

The answer, of course, is no.

Brown's blow not only didn't knock Iroh to the ground, but it also caused the rhythm of his feet to become chaotic, and everything was going in an unpredictable direction.

In addition to the balance ability of Iro's own 84 and the flexibility of 88, it fully shows its due effect at this time.

Seeing that he was about to lose his center of gravity, Brown realized the consequences of Iroh rushing forward, so he squeezed the weight of his entire body on Iro's body, trying to knock the latter to the ground, but he ignored Iroh's explosive power.

In particular, the short-term burst of energy was quite amazing, and Iroh's right elbow was close to his body, resisting Brown's impact and accelerating forward.

As Iello moved forward, Brown's center of gravity shifted and eventually ...... All that awaited him was to fall to the ground.

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from the stands.
