Chapter 624: Take the lead

"-Oh-oh! Ai's beautiful heel knocks the ball over!! ”

"Oh my God, Cristiano Ronaldo teased Essien in the same way!"

"Ai used a direct and brutal force to break through Brown this time, and during this time he was like a puppet, constantly being humiliated and humiliated by Ai!"

"Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo hit the ball in quick succession from the edge of the box!"

……

Iroh and Cristiano Ronaldo seem to have been on the same page during this time, completely treating the opposing defenders as stakes, over and over again, and the interesting thing is that the success rate of the two breakthroughs is still 100% so far!!

The amazing success rate of the breakthrough also made the fans in the stands excited!

During this time, not only the on-site commentators couldn't stop, but even the fans in the stands and in front of the TV did not dare to divert their attention, they were afraid that they would miss a wonderful shot if their attention was suddenly diverted!

Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson looked at such a 'vulnerable' backline, and they didn't know whether to praise or criticize at this time......

The 'vulnerable' appearance of the respective backlines is not that the defenders themselves are bad, but that Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo are in really good shape!

100% success rate, how to prevent people?

Therefore, the backlines of the two sides in the final were crushed by each other, and there was no reason for the complaints of the respective coaches.

Ten minutes into the game, the offensive rhythm of the two slowed down slightly.

"In the 11th minute, Ai and Cristiano Ronaldo finally slowed down the tempo of their attack...... Sky TV commentator Andy Gray said the voice of the commentator in the live studio.

Only then did they have time to quench their thirst by grabbing a drink or mineral water from the commentary table.

Otherwise, if Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo continue with the attacking rhythm of 10 minutes ago, it is estimated that no commentator will be able to hold on to 20 minutes with a witty word.

※※※

Although Iroh and Cristiano Ronaldo slowed down their own breaks, their team-mates will consciously prioritise passing the ball to their own attacking left flank, thus putting invisible pressure on the opposition backline in the first place.

Mourinho's starting line-up for UEFA officials an hour before the game was four-three-three, but the actual formation was four-four-two, with Malouda, who was placed as a right winger, spending more time actively involved in the team's defence, keeping the four players in the middle parallel position.

Such a position can reduce the speed of the opponent's two flanks as much as possible, especially Cristiano Ronaldo's feints to make a stop-and-go change.

But there is a fatal flaw!

That is, the two wing-backs did not protect the ribs defensively, so Cristiano Ronaldo found an opportunity in the first ten minutes with his proud pace and realistic feints.

As Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo's break-through slowed, the tempo of attack and defence on both sides also slowed, but this was just for the usual game.

It's actually not slow.

Of course, when the attacking right side is free, the ball will also be handed over to the right side.

In this regard, both Chelsea and Manchester United have masters of long-form ball transfers.

Perhaps, the players of the Premier League team will not have too high individual skills, but when it comes to using physical confrontation, the Premier League recognizes the second, and no league dares to recognize the first.

Before you know it, half of the Champions League final has quietly passed halfway.

In general, the two sides were offensive and defensive in the final, and it was a little regrettable that they did not score.

During this time, the tempo of attack and defense on both sides changed very quickly, which made the fans in the stands and in front of the TV watch a lot of high tides.

And the chanting in the stands didn't stop for even a second.

※※※

Chelsea and Manchester United are arguably the two best teams in the entire European league in the 2007-2008 season, especially Chelsea, who are unbeaten in 38 league games, and Manchester United's table is not far behind, with a staggering 98 points in the season!

This is a secure league title in any league......

It's just that they've met a more perverted Chelsea team!

And the wonderful performances of Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo are also the epitome of the two teams in this final.

……

Ailo was basically active on the side in these 20 minutes, although he was very active, and at the same time drove the team's offensive rhythm, but it was too far away from the goal, which reduced his actual power by more than half, so Mourinho couldn't sit still in the coach's box, he took advantage of a dead ball opportunity, and shouted at Ailo on the field: "Ai, run more to the two ribs, don't stay on the side all the time, get closer to the goal!" ”

Iroh waved his hand to show that he understood, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to the ribs, it's that every time he gets to this position, the central midfield duo of Carrick and Scholes will always get stuck in the path of his teammates passing the ball to him, and sometimes Hargreaves will follow very deep vertically, not giving him the slightest space, with or without the ball.

But then again, Mourinho has rushed to the sidelines to remind him, which means that Iroh can only run according to his arrangement, and as for whether it can achieve results, he has no bottom in his heart.

Just a minute after Jose Mourinho was on the sidelines, Iroh received a ball from Ballack on the left flank.

Hargreaves and Carrick were stern on the left and right.

Iroh stepped on the ball on the spot, and his upper body shook left and back continuously, but neither of them blindly grabbed up, just stared at the football at his feet.

So Iroh had no choice but to cross the ball to Frank Lampard, who stepped forward to pick it up, and then continued to cut forward.

As before, Carrick went to defend Frank Lampard, while Hargreaves continued to follow Iello forward vertically.

This is the way Ferguson came up with to defend Iello in the Champions League final, the man-to-man defence in the semi-zone, that is, after entering the 30-metre area, Hargreaves has changed from a right midfielder to a full-time midfielder.

Iroh was also a little hot now, so his forward thrust was not a slow forward, but a sharp forward acceleration, actively seeking change.

"--Ai accelerates!" Lineker said subconsciously.

As long as fans who know something about Iroh know that the Iroh who accelerates is the most dangerous Iro!

Hargreaves had studied this very thoroughly, so he followed it the moment he noticed Iroh's activation.

The Chelsea fans in the stands chanted.

However, Iroh staggered as Hargreaves started to move forward, flicked a shot forward, and used the advantage of explosiveness to twist back.

Hargreaves braked hard and reached out to try to grab Ielloh's jersey, knowing the consequences of losing Iroh in this position.

Michael Carrick is defending Frank Lampard, while Paul Scholes is helping to defend the far end and the ball carrier, while Cristiano Ronaldo is simply not directly involved in defending, focusing more energy and energy on attack.

However, Hargreaves underestimated Iroh's explosiveness, his quick stops, twists and turns were very coordinated, and he started very quickly on the spot, and Hargreaves only grabbed a ball of air.

Vidic showed his anticipation at this time, and when facing the defender head-on, he rushed forward and made up for the defense.

Meanwhile, Frank Lampard, who was on the ball, didn't make any fancy moves to pass the ball directly to the dummy Elo.

"- Ai!" Frank Lampard regretted the pass as soon as he got the ball because ...... Vidic, who was still standing on the right side of the arc of the penalty area, rushed to Iello who was about to receive the ball.

If the ball is broken in this position, it is very dangerous!

Seeing that Vidic's long legs were about to break the ball, Lampard had to turn around and mark the heart of Manchester United's attack, Paul Scholes.

But at this moment, Iroh slammed his left leg in the direction of the ball in the process of running back, and the whole person stopped Vidic's forward path, the latter subconsciously slowed down, clinging to Iro, grabbed Iro's shirt with his left hand, and tried to destroy the ball with his right foot.

The United fans in the stands have opened their voices and will be chanting as soon as Vidic breaks the ball.

However, Iroh made them keep the shouts alive in their throats.

He leaned to the left, and with his right heel slamming back against the ball, the ball rolled between Vidic's legs.

Wear the crotch!!

Then, using Vidic's body as an axis, Iroh turned to the left.

Ai Ai Ai -

A loud shout erupted from the stands.

Iroh's whole move was done in one go, without any sense of disobedience, so the head of defender Vidic had not yet reacted.

How did you get by?

Immediately after, Iroh's left foot took the opportunity to move the ball in front of him.

Seeing this, Ferguson, who was sitting comfortably chewing gum in the coach's seat, almost swallowed the gum, and his whole face was red.

"-Leo!!"

Van der Sar exclaimed.

"--Iroh has passed!!" It wasn't until Iroh smoothed the ball that Huang Jianxiang reacted.

Rio Ferdinand didn't hesitate to step up to the plate.

However, Iroh picked up his right foot without warning from about 23 meters in front of the arc of the penalty area.

Leo Ferdinand, who was almost five metres away from Iro, could only watch as the ball flew towards the goal.

Iroh's shot did not blindly choose to exert force, but consciously used the instep of his right foot to make an arc.

Because when the goalkeeper stands in front of the goal, he will subconsciously stand in the direction of the ball carrier, trying to block the near corner, which makes a big hole in the far corner.

And his purpose is - the far corner!

Van der Sar was completely unprepared, and with the ball still flying towards the far corner of the goal, his heart suddenly cooled, just like the shot that Elo had in the opening two minutes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

Soon, in the silence of the stadium, shouts erupted from the sky above the Luzhniki Stadium.
