Chapter 508: Victory

'Frank Lampard clears the ball with a big foot'

When Frank Lampard passed the ball, everyone thought it was just a clearance, and they didn't think it would be any threat, but when they saw the white figure rushing forward in front, everyone realized the threat.

Because that's Zhang Tiehan!

"Don't let him catch the ball!" The commentators at Old Trafford subconsciously shouted this, but his shouting had no effect at all, and the players on the field of Manchester United also knew that Zhang Tiehan could not be allowed to get the ball, and they couldn't stop it at all - now chasing the ball is completely a sprint game, not a football game, and except for Vidic, no one else is even qualified to join.

Nemanja Vidic is all United hope for.

It's a pity that Vidic lived up to this hope, he was thrown away by Zhang Tiehan at the first time, and then it was visible that the distance between him and Zhang Tiehan was getting farther and farther away, and the feeling was not close at all, until Zhang Tiehan stepped on his body and then started forward, Vidic still fell behind Zhang Tiehan.

At this point, the Reds realised that it was unrealistic to count on Nemanja Vidic.

So who else can they count on?

Edwin?

No, no, no, the goalkeeper can't stop Zhang Tiehan, which has been confirmed in countless games, and in this somewhat desperate state of mind, the game is also developing as they imagined, Zhang Tiehan faced Van der Sar and calmly kicked the ball into the goal.

There is no suspense in the goal!

“Goooooooooooooooooal!!!”

"The ball is in! The ball is in! ”

"Zhang! Sheet! Sheet! Sheet! Zhang's goal! He finished a pinpoint lob shot from Van der Sar, and the only thing Van der Sar could do in the face of that shot was to watch the ball lob into the back of the net."

'Chelsea are leading again! 2:1! ”

Sky TV commentator Alfi was shouting and the Chelsea fans were celebrating wildly, having been depressed in the second half. With United completely in the ascendancy and scoring the equaliser, they can now start celebrating again as Zhang Tiehan took advantage of just one chance to put Chelsea ahead again.

They excitedly shouted Zhang Tiehan's name in the audience stands.

"Zhang! Sheet! Sheet! ”

The shouts were endless, watching the excitement of the Chelsea fans, and even the dissatisfied Manchester United fans couldn't help but cheer for the goal. When Zhang Tiehan played for the England team in the World Cup, many Manchester United fans were also cheering for Zhang Tiehan from the bottom of their hearts. has the imprint of Manchester United, Manchester United fans are still very friendly to such players, and at the same time, thinking of Zhang Tiehan's situation, Manchester United fans will also be very helpless.

In the past, there have been players from Manchester United's youth team who left Manchester United to go to other clubs, but when they are famous, most of them choose to return to Manchester United if they have the opportunity. This is the sense of pride and cohesion of Manchester United.

Even if these players are no longer Manchester United players, their hearts are still at Manchester United. There is a chance that I will return to Manchester United.

Zhang Tiehan is different.

Now it is not a question of whether he wants to come back, it is that his value is difficult for Manchester United to pay, and his only hope for returning to Manchester United is to wait for his contract to end, and he will be transferred to Manchester United on a free transfer.

It's too hard.

It is estimated that Zhang Tiehan will have a chance when he retires soon

This is also the reason why Manchester United fans are depressed. Of course, their mood did not affect Chelsea, and the Chelsea fans were excited to celebrate the goal, and they kept shouting Zhang Tiehan's name at the same time. Chelsea's players were also celebrating, with Zhang Tiehan surrounded by his team-mates and everyone coming forward to congratulate him on his goal.

Manchester United's side.

C-Ronaldo looked at the celebration opposite, feeling a deep powerlessness, he is different from Zhang Tiehan, he has been a famous talent in Portugal since he was a child, in his early 10s, his outstanding performance attracted the attention of the local national club, so C-Ronaldo became a small star of the national team.

In 1998, Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon was also impressed by C-Ronaldo's talent, and they brought in 13-year-old C-Ronaldo for a low price of 1,500 pounds. Probably Sporting Lisbon didn't expect that after 5 years, C-Ronaldo's value would increase by nearly 10,000 times. In the first few months of joining Sporting Lisbon Juniors, Cristiano Ronaldo's Madeira country accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital, and for this reason he had a high self-esteem, and he once clashed with his younger teammates who imitated his speech. Cristiano Ronaldo was almost kicked out of the team because he grew too fast, because the coach thought he was too clumsy.

At Sporting Lisbon's Alcochete training camp, C-Ronaldo received 5 years of rigorous and scientific training, and his unremitting efforts made C-Ronaldo gradually become the best among his peers.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player in Sporting Lisbon's history to enter the club's Under-16s, Under-16s, Under-18s, second-tier and first-team teams in the same season, becoming the only player in the club's history to play in five different divisions in a single season.

Before the 2003-04 season, with the excellent leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo, Sporting Lisbon beat their opponents 3-1 in a friendly against Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo's football skills impressed the Manchester United players on the pitch at the time, and they strongly recommended Ferguson to sign the talented player, which attracted the attention and affirmation of Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson.

A few days later, Manchester United officially announced the purchase of Cristiano Ronaldo for a transfer fee of 12.24 million pounds, replacing David Beckham, who transferred to Real Madrid, as the new owner of the "7" shirt.

The 18-year-old's transfer fee of £12 million was a record for a youth transfer fee at the time, and United even gave the legendary No.7 shirt to a fledgling kid, which caused quite a stir at the time, and Ferguson was not worried at all. He believes that Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely become the ace of the team.

This is Cristiano Ronaldo a few years ago.

In comparison, Zhang Tiehan is just a player who is not known in the Manchester United youth team, the two are really different in the eyes of others, C-Ronaldo has never looked down on Zhang Tiehan, and after being a little jealous that Zhang Tiehan can score in the Manchester United team one step ahead of himself, he has a conflict with Zhang Tiehan. After that, C-Ronaldo also felt that there would be no more intersection with Zhang Tiehan, but what he didn't expect was that the two would become opponents at that time, or Zhang Tiehan became his life rival, and he may not be anything in Zhang Tiehan's eyes, at least for now.

Zhang Tiehan's career has reached a peak, and he is the same age as C-Ronaldo, who is now well-known. He has become Portugal's most famous young star and a world-class talent, but now in the game, you can see the difference between the two.

The gap between C-Ronaldo and Zhang Tiehan's table is quite obvious, Zhang Tiehan almost dominated the game with his own strength, and C-Ronaldo, the table xiàn is only a little better than the average player, when playing against other teams. C-Ronaldo tends to be the protagonist easily, but now there is only one. That is Zhang Tiehan.

Even the media that support Manchester United are constantly praising Zhang Tiehan, and rarely mention C-Ronaldo, even if it is mentioned, it is to mention the confrontation and comparison between the two, and then the words are not very interesting.

"C-Ronaldo and Zhang are both geniuses, but there is still a big gap between the two, maybe C-Ronaldo should be more in the game. Learn more from Zhang"

C-Ronaldo felt helpless, and so did the rest of the Manchester United players, who scored a goal after attacking for so long, and the opponent, a burst, also scored a goal.

Chelsea are ahead again.

The most helpless in this situation is the head coach Alex Ferguson. He arranged all kinds of tactics, did all kinds of preparations, he looked down on Grant, and the facts also proved that this Israeli coach and Mourinho are not at the same level at all, and he cannot be his opponent at all, and his judgment of Chelsea is still very accurate.

The only problem is that his judgment of Zhang Tiehan is also very accurate, this is a player who can decide the outcome of the game, no matter how to prepare, Manchester United still failed to limit Zhang Tiehan's play, allowing him to score two goals in the second half, and Manchester United did not score more than Zhang Tiehan alone, so there is the current situation - Manchester United is one goal behind.

Ferguson was helpless, but he also knew there was nothing he could adjust.

Manchester United have played well enough, they have completely suppressed Chelsea on the pitch, Chelsea have one less player, and if they still lose the game, who can do anything?

As a result, Manchester United's tactics remained unchanged and continued to attack Chelsea's half.

At the same time, Chelsea are still strengthening their defense, in the final stage of the game, Manchester United in order to be able to score, almost all of the attack, in this case, even Zhang Tiehan has to go back to defend, he also knows very well how to defend is the most effective - back in the box, stand in front of the goalkeeper, do the last direction, stick to the penalty area.

He's defending like a defender.

Now at this moment, as long as you hold the goal, you can win, in order to be able to win, you can do anything, and Zhang Tiehan's choice is also correct, relying on his physical advantages and judgment of the football landing point, he stands in the penalty area, which can make Manchester United's many passes to the penalty area useless, so at the end of the game, the most said by the commentator at Old Trafford is-

"It's Zhang again! He cleared the ball! ”

Later it became, "Pay attention to Zhang's position!" Don't pass the ball near him! ”

Zhang Tiehan is on the defensive side, and it is really strange that the result was talked about so critically, but the game is like this, in the face of Chelsea's intensive defense in the retracting penalty area, long-range shots and high-altitude balls have become extremely important means of breaking goals, and Zhang Tiehan stands in the penalty area, his personal defensive ability is too strong, and his play is much better than Terry.

The commentator of the Old Trafford stadium even made a bitter joke during the report, "Maybe Zhang can become the world's top player by playing as a defender"

Sky TV commentator Alfer said. "Zhang is the best in any position, and he has brought Manchester United back again and again."

The tone was as if Chelsea's defense was entirely the work of Zhang Tiehan alone, and it was estimated that other Chelsea players would have a little idea in their hearts when they heard his words, but they must admit that Zhang Tiehan was very good at defending seriously. Maybe his position is not very good, it should be said that he doesn't understand it at all, but his personal ability and physical advantages are too good, which is enough for him to play well.

Zhang Tiehan's frequent headers cleared the siege, which was the final picture of the game between Manchester United and Chelsea.

In the end, Chelsea won 2-1 at Old Trafford to win Manchester United, a significant league fixture

After this game, the whole of England was covered with coverage of the game.

Zhang Tiehan won unanimous praise for his dominating table, scoring two goals of his own that almost decided the outcome of the match. In contrast, the rest of Chelsea's players were more likely to defend the whole game.

It's like some media commenting, "Grant is relying on the defense left by Mourinho and Zhang Tiehan to succeed!" ”

It's an irony, but it's also a fact.

In this Chelsea and Manchester United game, the whole process is completely to verify this fact, Chelsea relied on defense to allow Manchester United to score only one goal, while Zhang Tiehan scored two goals completely on his own ability. Helped the team to a 2-1 win over Manchester United.

Grant was criticised after the game, with the media arguing that he did not bring a bit of 'personal character' to Chelsea.

'If you can coach Chelsea like that. Everybody on the planet can do it because he didn't do anything, and he could win just by playing as a team. ”

"It also proves that Chelsea are really strong now, and when Mourinho's defense is combined with Zhang, even Manchester United have to bow down at Old Trafford, and I don't know what Jose Mourinho will think when he is far away in Italy."

Soon a reporter interviewed Mourinho. Jose Mourinho also knew the outcome of the Manchester United and Chelsea clash and the 'madman' commented on the game: "I also admire Zhang, but unfortunately he came after I left. ”

As a matter of fact. On the topic of Zhang Tiehan, Mourinho is reluctant to say more, this is a rare stain in his coaching career, and the outside media also believe that the biggest reason for Mourinho to leave Chelsea is Zhang Tiehan, which is where the difference between him and Abramovich lies, and Zhang Tiehan's table proves that Mourinho is wrong.

Next to Grant, Mourinho just pouted, "That Israeli, I hope he can succeed!?" The questioning tone and the smile on his lips prove that Mourinho is not at all dismissive of Grant.

At the same time as Grant was criticized, the Chelsea players' table xiàn was also criticized, this season including Zhang Tiehan, Chelsea has eight newcomers, in addition to Hilario, Bora Rouz, Mikel and Kalou, Ashley Cole has also tasted the "English season battle" as early as Arsenal, Zhang Tiehan is not to be tested at all, because he has too much experience with Arsenal and Manchester United.

What really needs to be tested in this decisive battle is Ballack and Shepchenko, who have been under pressure since the season.

Grant's attitude towards the two superstars can be seen from the timing of the substitutions.

Shepchenko was substituted early as always, and apart from Grant's patience for 10 minutes, nothing changed from the previous Ukrainian slump; Ballack held out for 90 minutes before the Germans were applauded by Patrick Ferreira in the final moments.

Speaking before the game, Grant expressed his confidence in the two 'BigGame' newcomers throughout Chelsea. The Ukrainians continue to enjoy the care of their teammates, and Drogba has gone out of his way to say that they are getting better together.

Ballack's position in this game was very clear - to organize the midfield, responsible for feeding the cannonballs up front. However, the most eye-catching thing for the German at the beginning of the game was his defense, and Chelsea's overall table was also defence, and in summary, Ballack's hard table was still very good, while Shepchenko continued the slump since the season.

In his playing time, Shepchenko barely contributed anything.

This game is another defeat for the Ukrainians.

The Sun said, "I remember when Zhang was in Rome, many people compared him to Shepchenko, and they all thought Shepchenko was better. Now that the two are on the same team, the comparison is clear at a glance, maybe we shouldn't expect so much from the Ukrainian, he just needs to play normally" (to be continued......)
