Chapter 507: This Is Speed!

Manchester United fell behind by one goal in the first half, and Ferguson said a lot to the players at half-time, and the most important thing was to stimulate the morale of the Manchester United players, so at the beginning of the second half, the United players were playing like they were red-eyed.

It was just a league game, but now it's a bloody battle.

They have to go for the score, even for the win. At the start of the second half, United pressed forward a lot as a whole, as Grant said, and United started the siege on the Chelsea half at the start of the second half.

This is the best option.

They need to use the opening time to get back on the scoresheet so that they can be on the same level as Chelsea and have the possibility of going for the win, and if they are behind, then the mentality of both teams will be different at the end.

Under Manchester United's attack, Chelsea's formation was a little disorganized.

"Pay attention to the location! Look at the people! 'Captain John Terry kept shouting at his team-mates to remind his team-mates that he is the captain of the team and a defensive stalwart at the back, and that he needs to command the whole backline and that he is the commander of Chelsea's last defence.

After Manchester United's burst of attacking prowess, they kept Chelsea at bay for a long time.

Even Zhang Tiehan has to admit that this Manchester United team is much stronger than last season, and Chelsea as a whole has a gap with Manchester United, and the reason for the gap is not the strength of Chelsea players, but the confusion of the overall tactics.

Now Zhang Tiehan has already been able to calmly analyze the game, as a member of the game, he can deeply understand this, that is, the chaos of Chelsea's overall tactics, such as in the midfield position, Frank Lampard, Barclayle, Ballack are all on the field, and the three are actually fierce players in the middle of the midfield. Their strength is very good, but they are often a little negligent in the defense of the wings, they are not wide players after all, they do not have real wide players, whether it is offensive or defensive.

And that's just halftime.

It's the same at the back and up front, with Chelsea just continuing last season's squad. There is no actual adjustment in the tactics at all, he himself sometimes doesn't know what to do in the game, so the game without a clear division of labor is the root cause of the team's confusion in formation, it feels like being on the playing field, you can play freely, it may be a good thing to play freely alone, he likes this feeling very much, but the whole team is free to play. The game will be a mess.

Fortunately, Chelsea's teammates are all world-class players, and their strength and strength are very good, but compared to Manchester United's front and rear midfielders, the team's current football still seems naïve, and this gap has caused the current situation - Chelsea are very suppressed and can't counterattack.

In this case, Zhang Tiehan must also retreat to participate in the defense.

Forty-seven minutes. C-Ronaldo receives a pass on the left side and shakes off Ballack to rush forward. Immediately after a straight cross into the middle of the penalty area, Carrick got rid of Carvalho and tried to find a shot in the box, but Terry arrived in time, and he and Carvalho were caught in front and back, giving Carrick a close door. Carrick had no choice but to force a shot at goal, and the ball was kicked off the line.

Fiftieth minute later, it was Carrick again, who was in front of the box in the middle and fired a long-range shot straight into the goal. Terry blocked the flight path with his body, and the ball hit Terry and bounced at the feet of Rooney, who got the ball and fired a big volley, which hit slightly high and flew out of bounds over the crossbar.

A minute later, United had another good chance, Scholes received a pass from Ryan Giggs in front of the field and pushed it straight into the left corner of the penalty area, C-Ronaldo followed up with a volley, but fortunately Zhang Tiehan returned in time to block C-Ronaldo's shot with his right leg.

United's back-to-back attacks have overwhelmed Chelsea's defence.

Even if Zhang Tiehan retreated to participate in the defense, in the face of this kind of attack, it was impossible to do everything, and as a result, in the 57th minute, Manchester United finally scored -

"Saha!"

“Gooooooooooooal!!!!”

A tsunami of cheers rang out at Old Trafford as United finally broke Chelsea's goal to level the scores, scored by French striker Saha.

It was a corner.

After Scholes' long-range shot was saved, Cristiano Ronaldo took up on the left corner flagpole and Saha slammed the ball into the back of the net against Terry's defence.

"It was a brilliant goal!" The Old Trafford commentator excitedly said, "Saha! He helped Manchester United equalise! It was the 57th minute of the game, and it was only 10 minutes into the second half, and seeing Saha's goal, we can be sure that United are back in form! We look forward to more exciting performances from Manchester United in the future! ”

Manchester United fans are looking forward to it.

Chelsea's lead in the first half gave them no hope, but now Manchester United equalised, which proves that even if Chelsea have Zhang Tiehan, United have a good chance, at least in the second half United played a pressing advantage, and Saha's goal was even more logical, of course, it also proved Saha's form and quality.

To be precise, this is Saha's fourth season at Manchester United.

He arrived at Manchester United in January 2004 and has been injured ever since, and his three years at Fulham were the starting point for Sahaden, who was the absolute mainstay of Fulham's forward line and scored 53 goals in 116 appearances, a goal that eventually impressed Ferguson, and when he arrived at Manchester United, he was worth 18 million euros and set a record for Fulham, and he was also the best in the transfer of French players in recent years.

But Saha was almost out for a full year in 2005 and has been trying to get back to his best ever since.

Saha's performance last season was not bad, he scored 15 goals in 45 games, and even pushed Van Nistelrooy to the bench, and now he is a regular in United's attacking line, which is also expected by fans.

Now Saha has once again proven himself to be good.

Not every striker can score a Chelsea goal, and not every striker can score a Chelsea goal at Manchester United, and being able to score a Chelsea goal is an honour in itself, even though Manchester United and Chelsea meet every season, but the games are all together. There aren't many goals, and now Saha has one.

Ferguson also smiled on the sidelines.

Obviously, the old jazz is still quite satisfied with Saha's appearance, and what he is most looking forward to is Rooney's outburst, after all, Rooney is still young, there is still room for growth, and his strength is also a world-class star. But Sahabi Rouni is in more stable form

After Manchester United's goal, the game got more intense, at least for the neutral fans, and it was not interesting if it was a one-sided and pressing game, so that both teams had a goal and they could look forward to the next game.

That's what many commentators say.

'Manchester United equalised, the two teams are back on the same page, so the rest of the game will be up to who can play better.'

'Manchester United have the advantage. The goal they scored was the equalizer, and a lot of the numbers showed that the team that scored later was easy to win."

'But Manchester United have to be careful because Chelsea have a shirt'

"Maybe that's what Chelsea can emphasise right now, Sheva has been very poor since joining Chelsea, Didier Drogba is not scoring consistently, and Chelsea are now winning thanks to Zhang's play."

'Chelsea's results are good, but the league has suppressed Manchester United. The Champions League has largely been qualified, but we haven't been able to see any change from Grant's arrival at Chelsea. Their win was entirely due to the defence left by Mourinho and Zhang's goal."

“”

There was a lot of media commentary, there was anticipation of the game and criticism of Grant, but in the end, no matter what you rely on, both teams have a chance.

It was in their comments that there was a dramatic scene in the game.

Makelele and Scholes fight for the ball. As a result, the Frenchman stretched his foot and tripped in front of Scholes's leg, and Scholes fell directly to the ground, which was an unconscious foul, but it is not wrong to say that it was intentional, in short, Scholes fell. Makelle was also a bit big, and the referee showed him a yellow card.

Grant stood up directly in the coach's seat.

The rest of Chelsea had a few words with the referee, and even Zhang Tiehan went over to persuade him, but the referee Webber insisted on the original decision, because Makelle had received a yellow card in the first half, and the next two yellows turned into one red, and Makelele was sent off directly.

Chelsea had to play with 10 men.

Ten against eleven, still away, the original passive situation, in this situation is even more disadvantageous.

'Claude Makelele was sent off and Chelsea had 10 men against Manchester United and the game was tougher for them. If Manchester United try harder in this game, they can beat Chelsea head-on! ”

"Webb's penalty was a bit harsh, but Makelle made a big move."

'Scholes didn't fall lightly, it's perfectly fine to say it's a yellow card, but the important thing is that Claude Makelele was sent off and I don't know what Chelsea will do'

The big camera is on the Chelsea dugout.

Grant was already standing on the sidelines, he comforted Makelele who walked off the field, and shouted loudly to pay more attention to defense, the Israelis were a little annoyed and a little panicked, which everyone on and off the field could see, in contrast, Ferguson on the other side was sitting with an old god, not in a hurry at all, and the comparison of the looks of the two could see the current situation

Makelele's sending off may be the turning point of the game, and many media and fans think so.

But Zhang Tiehan will not admit defeat lightly.

After the restart of the game, his position was much earlier, he knew very well that the team was currently on the defensive, in fact, there was nothing more than him, the Manchester United players basically would not give him a direct chance to steal, and his continuous running in the backfield was not very effective.

If you have a chance to score, that's the best help for the team.

Manchester United's attack is very relaxed, they have one more man than Chelsea now, and the overall attack is suppressing Chelsea, all they need at the moment is a goal, they are already invincible, most of the players think so.

The United fans in the audience cheered a lot louder.

The coaches, the players, the fans, all the Manchester United people, the Manchester United supporters, all think that the team has to score a goal, then the victory is definitely guaranteed, but now Chelsea, there is no ability to score goals, in the case of one less, the disadvantage is too obvious.

For Chelsea, Grant also replaced Shepchenko with a defender, so it was clear that Chelsea were on the defensive.

With more than 20 minutes to go, it's better to defend and hold on to a draw than to lose.

That's what Grant thought.

Manchester United also knew the Israelis' intentions, but they were not willing to draw with Chelsea, and they had to fight for victory when they had this opportunity, so their attack was much more fierce, but what they didn't notice was that Zhang Tiehan had been running near the halfway line, even if the football reached the vicinity of the Chelsea penalty area, Zhang Tiehan had no intention of retreating to defend.

If they had paid attention before, but now they don't care - isn't it normal for a striker to stand up front?

Maybe yes.

But the only difference is that it was Zhang Tiehan who stood in front, not other players, so when this wave of Manchester United's attack was suddenly tackled, Lampard drove the ball to Manchester United's half with a big foot, and saw the figure on the pitch sprinting forward quickly, Manchester United finally knew that something was abnormal.

Just because that's Zhang Tiehan!

At this time, Manchester United's half was very empty, their suppressive attack played very forward, when Zhang Tiehan ran, there was only one Vidic around him, he surpassed Vidic between two or three steps, and when the football rose to the highest point and fell, Zhang Tiehan had completely thrown off Vidic.

If it seems to the average person, this ball will definitely not be able to chase.

But Zhang Tiehan's speed is quite fast!

At this moment, many people's minds were blank, and they all stared blankly at the white figure on the field, he was like a bolt of lightning, directly inserted into the Manchester United half, and many fans in the audience held their breath, whether it was Manchester United fans or Chelsea fans, no one wanted to miss this scene.

Old Trafford was strangely quiet for a while.

In this silence, Zhang Tiehan ran almost as fast as he could, with his legs on his legs, and he moved forward, and then forward, and Vidic behind him had been pulled back several meters.

Seeing Zhang Tiehan at this moment, everyone understands what speed is!

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds

The football fell from the air to the grass and bounced high, Zhang Tiehan also came to the back of the ball at the same time, but the position was still a little behind, and he couldn't catch up at the first time, but he was still in hot pursuit.

The ball bounces high and hits the ground again.

At this time, the position of the football has reached the left corner of the penalty area, and then bounce forward may go directly out of bounds, at this time Zhang Tiehan also caught up with the ball, he stepped on the ground, nailed the football in place, and then moved smoothly to cut the ball inward, towards the direction of the Manchester United goal.

Behind him, Vidic was still more than two meters behind Zhang Tiehan

Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar finally realised the danger and rushed out of the net when Zhang Tiehan stopped the ball.

But it was too late.

When the football is controlled at the feet of Zhang Tiehan and there is no one to defend, what can a Van der Sar do?

Facing Van der Sar, Zhang Tiehan just gently lifted the ball into the air, followed by the football flew over Van der Sar's head, like a precise missile, and fell directly into the goal. (To be continued......)
