Chapter 682: Side Attack

All the on-site commentators were praising Iroh for his spiritual sling.

Of course, this is not the case with the local commentator from Manchester, who is looking for all sorts of excuses to accuse Chelsea of using conspiracy to infringe on Manchester United's legitimate rights.

"I really can't understand how a goal like this can be approved by the referee? Oh, my God! This is definitely the biggest scandal in the history of the Premier League! Didn't you know that attacking players had to listen to the referee's whistle before they could take a set-piece? It's common sense!! According to FIFA regulations, Webb could have invalidated the goal, but he didn't! If Manchester United lose their chance to the top because of this goal, then Webber will bear the brunt of the blame!! ”

However, the Manchester United players on the field accepted the result after the yellow card of captain Gary Neville, everyone is a professional player, and they know the rules of football very well.

In the end, it was the players on this side who were collectively distracted.

'Ai has been a surprise this season, having scored six goals in just two of the five league games, and is now just one goal less than Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo's seven! Sure enough, he is the first person in the world!! BBC commentator Lineker said excitedly.

According to Eyroh's current numbers, it does make him worthy of the title of the world's No. 1, in the third round of the league at home to Tottenham Hotspur, he only played four goals, and this game scored two goals before half-time, that is to say, he scored six goals in more than 100 minutes of play, an average of one goal in 17 minutes, which top league player in the world has such a level?

Not at all!

So Lineker fully agrees with his own statement.

It was already the 45th minute of the first half when the game resumed, so it wasn't long after United had kicked the ball out that referee Webb would blow the whistle for the end of the first half.

"- The referee blows the whistle, and the first half is over!" Zhan Jun exhaled a long breath, just now because Ai Luo was too excited about the goal table, and only now did he breathe a sigh of relief, and then he said: "Ai Luo equalized the score on the field twice when the team fell behind twice!" It is really worthy of the title of Mr. Key!! ”

Chelsea TV commentator Clive Walker said at the end of the first half: 'Chelsea's form has dropped significantly this season compared to last season, especially at the back, with the 30-year-old Carvalho no longer the steady, super Ricardo and defending more often with fouls than his own awareness...... Therefore, the first five rounds of the league, have lost five, an average of one per game, especially against a strong team, the problem of the back line is infinitely magnified, the third round of the league is not Ai's senior happiness, it is estimated that the game will be more hanging, if this game is not Ai, half time will be two goals behind......"

……

Villas-Boas closed the locker room door, and the noise coming in from the pitch came to an abrupt end.

Mourinho's face was very ugly, but he didn't vent it directly, but took out his small notebook to record the details of the game, and then read it......

As more and more names were pronounced, the faces of the defenders became more and more ugly, because Mourinho recorded these details were problems with their games, especially Carvalho, who came from Porto with Mourinho, had a very ugly face.

Of course, Essien, one of the team's single midfielders, has the same problem, but he has a strong ability to self-correct and a fighting spirit.

Finally, Mourinho spoke about the team's attack.

He first criticized Drogba for being too hesitant to take the ball forward, and then expressed his dissatisfaction with the French international Malouda, because throughout the first half, he had not seen Malouda fly up on the wing a few times, and the team's attack in the first half was basically created by Arlo himself, at most Frank Lampard and Modric and Drogba played a role, and the other players seemed to have become full-time defensive players, which should not be for a mature team.

Changes had to be made in the second half.

※※※

The United players who returned to the dressing room were generally not very emotional, because the goal conceded before the end of the first half was very demoralizing, and any player who was aware of Elo's intention to take a quick free-kick could have avoided it if he interfered slightly.

But at this time, everyone made a fixed mindset, thinking that about 30 meters of free kicks Iroh would wait for the wall to line up before kicking.

So...... This opportunity was seized by Iroh.

Especially Van der Sar, who was hung from the goal, although his teammates showed signs of distraction when he lost the goal, but in the final analysis, he did not stand in front of the goal to arrange the human wall, but chose to come forward to complain, which was an extremely low-end mistake.

There was no doubt that Ferguson, who entered the dressing room, turned on his 'hair dryer' plug-in to refresh the players who were distracted in the first half and prepare for the second half.

After talking about the problems that arose in the first half for almost five minutes, Ferguson began to explain the attacking tactics of the second half.

……

The fifteen-minute break at halftime was fleeting, but there were plenty of empty seats in the stands.

It's not that the fans who came to the scene were dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field, but they cheered and cheered for 45 minutes in the first half, and the energy on their bodies was too much, and they also had to supplement some throat lozenges, otherwise they would not be able to continue to contribute to the team in the second half.

Although there were plenty of empty spots in the stands as the players from both sides came to the pitch from the dressing rooms, the cheers were still loud.

Especially the moment when Iroh appeared, the energy that erupted from the stands reached its peak.

It's been four years since Iello debuted, and he has his own set of ideas on how to build a good relationship with the fans, smiling and giving a thumbs up to the Chelsea fans in the stands to show them how well they are.

Immediately, the shouts in response to Iroh reached the climax of the audience.

The second half of the game began on a high note under the cheers of the fans in the stands.

In the first five minutes, both sides were cautious, not rushing to get the fire into the opposition half, but relying on the individual qualities of Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo to test the opponent's defensive level.

As the game progressed, the fans who had left their seats to buy food had returned to their seats and started cheering on the fighters on the field again.

The first shot of the second half came when Iello received a through ball from Luka Modric and struck a long-range shot before Rio Ferdinand came up, but it was of poor quality and was held tightly by Van der Sar.

The game slowly enters the process of coming and going.

However, there was still a lack of shots that really threatened the goal, and both took care of each other's core players Airo and Cristiano Ronaldo, thus neglecting their own attack.

For speed-type players, the most basic need is space, no space is equal to no space to play punches, which is completely equivalent to being tied by others and kicking awkwardly.

This is the case with the current Iroh and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Off the pitch, Mourinho and Alex Ferguson are struggling to figure out how to make tactical adjustments, because the half-time adjustments have been invisibly cracked by the opponent, and if no tactical changes are made, it is likely to become a big hole for the team.

This is an outcome that no one wants to see.

※※※

In the 15th minute of the second half, the 60th minute of the game, the two sides made tactical changes, with Chelsea replacing Croatian international Luka Modric, who had clearly declined in physical confrontation, with Mikel to strengthen the confrontation and defensive hardness in the middle.

Manchester United's adjustment is to replace Nani, who has a longer obvious role in South Korean international Park Ji-sung, with a stronger running ability, to strengthen the protection of the middle.

"Chelsea and Manchester United's substitutions are all about revamping the team's midfield, compared to Modric and Nani, Park Ji-sung and Mikel, who have just been replaced, are biased towards defense, what does this substitution mean?" Zhan Jun frowned, obviously not seeing the meaning of Mourinho and Ferguson's substitutions this time.

After a while, Zhan Jun nodded thoughtfully and said: "Although Mourinho and Ferguson's substitution adjustment are both defensive players, it indirectly liberates the two full-backs, allowing the two wing players to get more offensive opportunities and enriching the attack in the frontcourt. ”

Sure enough, both sides began to take advantage of the width of the pitch to play to the wings, allowing Arlo and Cristiano Ronaldo, who have strong point-grabbing ability, to try their chances.

After all, a single offense is easy to figure out, and it is very simple to defend, and the goal break rate is even lower.

In the third minute of the change, the 63rd minute of the game, Chelsea made a substitution, and they were the first to create a dangerous attack that caused the fans in the stands to go high!!

Iello used his breakthrough ability to compress the space on the left side of United's defence very narrowly, and full-back Gary Neville reverted to the corner of the box to prevent Arlo from taking advantage of his speed disadvantage.

In this way, the attacking space on the left side is directly leaked.

As soon as Iroh sent the ball into the air with the arch of his right foot, the commentators in the live studio became excited and shouted in unison: "Ashley Cole plugs in at high speed, this is your chance!" ”

Ashley Cole's crosses are of great quality, fast and curled from the inside out, which is more conducive to the competition of his own players.

The fans in attendance had already risen from their seats, arms raised in the air, as if they had expected a goal.

Standing on the field, Ferguson's heart 'clucked', and he sensed the possibility of conceding the ball.
