'Chelsea made a substitution for the underperforming Shepchenko and Joe Cole, and it seems that Mourinho is looking to strengthen his team's attacking capabilities on the flanks.

Joe Cole is a right-footed player, but he can play on both flanks, with great skill at his feet and excellent dribbling ability from his feet, as well as good crosses from the right and kickbacks from the left. Especially when he was pulled down the left flank, the inside cut was a big threat to the opposition.

Not only will his presence enrich Chelsea's attacking tactics, but more importantly, he will be able to use his own attack to suppress United's attack on the flanks.

Following Graremi's departure, Chelsea's right flank essentially became United's attacking corridor. Many of their attacks were launched from the left, with Ryan Giggs' breakthrough largely unstoppable. Unfortunately, Chelsea's defensive prowess in the middle has been too prominent, and even with strikers like Wayne Rooney and Saha, they haven't been able to break down the door.

The effect of Joe Cole's coming on was clear.

He cut inside on the left to attract Yu Liang's defense and knocked the ball across the middle.

Turning his head to see that Lampard had already bent his bow and arrow, Yu Liang immediately pulled his leg and rushed towards Lampard, trying to block Lampard's shot with his body.

Frank Lampard, on the other hand, seemed to spot Yu Liang's intentions, and instead of shooting directly with his right foot, he gently slammed the ball into the goal. Frank Lampard picked up his right foot again after deflecking Yu Liang and fired a powerful shot straight into the far corner.

Unable to block Lampard's shot, Yu Liang felt a chill in his heart.

Frank Lampard's long-range shot is a megatron, and as the most prolific midfielder in the Premier League, he has scored more than 10 goals in the league for three consecutive seasons, including 16 in the league last season.

With such a goal efficiency, at a distance of less than 25 meters from the goal, he played a high-quality shot, can Yu Liang not be nervous in his heart?

But when he turned his head to look at the goal, he saw Van der Sar leap forward, like a big peng with wings spread, and directly dialed the ball out of the bottom line with both hands.

"Yay!"

Like all Manchester United fans, Yu Liang was surprised by Van der Sar's miraculous save. After cheering for Van der Sar, Yu Liang immediately returned to the penalty area and began to participate in the defense of corner kicks.

Van der Sar is an excellent goalkeeper who is able to play the role of a savior in times of crisis.

It's like a miraculous save just now.

But no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he can't block every attack of the opponent.

Frank Lampard's corner went straight to Carvalho, who was at the far post.

Carvalho is not very tall, but he has a good header, thanks to his judgment of where the ball will land. In the face of Heinze's interference, Carvalho still took the lead in grabbing the point and beat Heinze to complete the attack.

The ball spun towards the near corner of the goal, and Saha, who had been guarding the near post, immediately jumped to his feet to clear the ball. However, the ball smashed on his head and not only did not fly towards the goal, but only made it more difficult for Van der Sar to save.

The ball smashed on Saha's head, changed direction, and spun straight into the goal.

1-1！

Chelsea equalised.

Such an outcome is unacceptable to Ferguson.

As the Chelsea celebrated their goal, Alex Ferguson immediately began to adjust the set-up on the sidelines. Under Ashley Cole's defence, Ronaldo's role on the right side is relatively limited. Ferguson went straight for Park Ji-sung and he hoped the South Korean could open up the right flank.

However, after making substitutions, the team's attacking situation on the right side did not open up. On the contrary, it also boosted Ashley Cole's assist morale. After all, compared to Ronaldo, Park Ji-sung is much less threatening in their minds.

Seeing this, Mourinho immediately made the third change of the game, replacing German Ballack with full-back Ferreira, and the team's formation changed to a more attacking 433.

Watching Mourinho strengthen the team's attack, Ferguson glanced at his bench and immediately showed a bitter expression. Whether a team is strong or not depends not only on the team's main lineup, but also on the thickness of the bench is an important indicator of the strength of a team.

Is Manchester United's bench thick enough?

That's for sure!

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Wes Brown, O'Shea, Ji-Sung Park, Richardson, Silvestre, Alan Smith......

They are all members of the bench that make up Manchester United's bench and they are some of the best footballers in this world.

But this is the case where all health is guaranteed.

The only players on the bench now are Wes Brown, Alan Smith and Sylvester, with the rest of the squad coming from the reserves.

"Boss, should we strengthen the team's defense?"

After Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba had two shots in quick succession, Queiroz walked up to Alex Ferguson with the tactical board.

Fortify your defense?

Ferguson looked inside the field.

At the moment United were on the attack, and the ball was at the feet of Paul Scholes.

Scholes pushed forward with the ball and after meeting Claude Makelele, it was difficult to keep going. But Makelle couldn't get a stab at Scholes' feet for a moment, and the two were at a standoff there.

Seeing that Scholes was stalemate there and unable to advance, Yu Liang immediately rushed up to respond.

Scholes immediately knocked the ball back to Yu Liang.

"Michael ......"

After Makelele saw Yu Liang receiving the ball, he immediately frowned and shouted to Essien, who was not far from Yu Liang: "Michael, look at that guy!" ”

In the second half, because Yu Liang did not participate in the attack, it was almost forgotten that he existed, especially those Chelsea players who looked down on him, and he never existed at all.

After hearing Makelele's shout, although Essien rushed towards Yu Liang, he didn't pay attention to Yu Liang at all. With such a thin body, can it fight him? He looked at his body and smiled disdainfully.

Yu Liang didn't care what Essien thought.

When receiving the ball, there was no one to defend, so he took advantage of this effort to observe the movement of his teammates in the front court. Ryan Giggs is the biggest threat to Chelsea in this game, so with Pacos Ferreira at his side at the moment, Joe Cole is also cruising around the distance, ready to form a trap at any time.

On the other hand, because Ashley Cole didn't take Park Ji-sung in his eyes at all, there is a big distance between the two. That's enough distance for Park Ji-sung to make a cross or something else.

Yu Liang can see such a big gap, and of course Esin can see it.

Park Ji-sung is closer to the goal, has a large gap, and can choose to pass the ball and break through with the ball and shoot himself.

If Yu Liang is allowed to pass the ball over, the threat will definitely be great.

Seeing this gap, Essien didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sped up his pace and rushed towards Yu Liang, wanting to stop Yu Liang from passing.

Seeing Essien rushing towards him, Yu Liang's right foot landed slightly, rubbed the ball to the right with the outside instep, and then quickly broke through from the left side.

The ball is divided.

Essien never thought that he would be broken through by Yu Liang.

He didn't expect Yu Liang to choose to break through at this time.

So he wasn't prepared at all.

When Yu Liang rushed past him, he was still stunned with incredulity written on his face.

"Damn!"

Maklay watched Esin being easily shaken, and after scolding secretly, he immediately rushed towards Yu Liang.

Seeing Makelle rushing towards him, Yu Liang immediately distributed the ball to the unguarded Scholes. Makelele immediately turned around and pressed towards Scholes, who knocked back, and the ball came to Yu Liang's feet again.

Chelsea's players never imagined that their vaunted central barrier could be breached so easily.

Terry watched Makelele lose his position, and immediately rushed towards Yu Liang, throwing Rooney to his teammates.

Looking at Terry rushing towards him in front of him, Yu Liang did not hesitate to pass the ball to Saha, but Saha was stuck by Carvalho and couldn't turn around for a while.

Terry saw Yu Liang pass the ball to Saha, and instead of running after the ball, he continued to rush towards Yu Liang. John Terry made the right choice, at least for now Saha can't get the ball to Yu Liang or Paul Scholes.

For a moment, all eyes were on Saha and Carvalho...... (To be continued.) )
