Five hundred and forty-two, the last hope
A thin drizzle of rain hits everyone.
Many people looked strangely at the sky over Moscow, which had been clear not so long ago.
In the rush, the poor foundation at the Luzhniki Stadium has made it difficult for Manchester United, who have been sticking to the ground attack.
Mistakes keep coming!
To make matters worse, the stadium became muddy.
While Manchester United's players with ill-fitting boots had to take turns on the sidelines to change their boots, Chelsea players don't seem to have either.
Quite a few people have noticed this.
The same goes for Alex Ferguson, why don't Chelsea have to change it, obviously, they're wearing it on their feet.
Could it be that Chelsea already knew it was going to rain?
Damn, the weather forecast doesn't say it's raining, how could they.
At least for now, the mystery is unexplained.
The sudden rain left many fans unprepared, and they had to enjoy the rain, as most of the stands were uncovered to help keep the rain out.
Platini was a little embarrassed, and the roof of the Luzhniki Stadium naturally had to take care of the VIPs, but it was precisely this kind of care that made Platini feel embarrassed.
What has become of his image to a global audience?
However, Lynn and his Chelsea had little heart to understand Platini's feelings.
Manchester United made another pass error!
Substitute Ryan Giggs didn't get on the end of Paul Scholes' pass and a puddle of water blocked the ball.
Alves reacted quickly and rushed over first.
Giggs stamped his foot in frustration, but didn't chase back.
The counterattack is coming.
Alonso swooped forward after receiving a pass from a defender.
United defender Michael Carrick came up to intercept and Alonso gave the ball to Van Bommel.
Van Bommel turned his back to the attacking direction and did not turn with the ball, but flicked the ball to the left. Pass to Frank Lampard!
Frank Lampard also didn't continue to dribble the ball, kept the ball and passed it to Alonso, who was following up.
At this point, Manchester United's defence can't keep up with the rhythm.
Too fast.
Frank Lampard and Van Bommel accelerated to cross runs, which made the United players a little anxious, do they still have to pass like this?
Or did he dribble the ball into the middle of the pitch himself?
It's a pity that it's neither!
Alonso has a direct pass!
Cristiano Ronaldo, who had been active on the wing, suddenly cut in diagonally and rushed behind Vidic, where he received Alonso's through ball.
"Nice pass, Cristiano Ronaldo !!"
The narrator roared.
In the shouting of the commentators and the Blues fans, Ronaldo picked up his legs and shot straight away!
Van der Sar had no way of preparing in advance, like a football suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Although he moved and waved his hand to fight, he caught nothing but air.
The soccer ball had slammed into the net behind him!
Everyone was stunned, this time the goal came too suddenly. Everyone's thinking didn't keep up.
Just now, Manchester United are still making steady progress to make a comeback from the disadvantage.
The opponent suddenly scored.
"Ahh The ball is in! The ball is in! The narrator was a little incoherent, and they were surprised.
"Oh God! Chelsea have scored again! The score became 2-0! ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo!! Moment of truth. His shot helped Chelsea consolidate their advantage significantly. It was his second goal of the game! ”
'Manchester United are getting further and further away from the trophy they were hoping for'
After the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo raced to the stands of the Blues fans. Keep throwing flying kisses at the fans!
I don't know and think that he used this way to please the fans.
In fact, Chelsea insiders know that this guy's little girlfriend is sitting in the stands.
And the location of the people is easy to find.
There was a bush of flowers on the top, and it was the girlfriends and wives of the Chelsea players, all of whom had umbrellas with them.
Ronaldoser's thoughts didn't last long, and he was soon caught up by his teammates and ravaged again.
Things are getting worse and worse on the pitch.
The clearly ill-prepared Manchester United players still kept slipping.
The Luzhniki Stadium turned out to be artificial turf. The drainage capacity is average, and after replacing it with new turf, it has not improved, and now such a heavy rain is washing down. This is a natural occurrence.
Of course, United are not without the ability to resist.
As an old English team, the kind of skill that is imprinted in the bones can still be picked up.
Long pass rush hanging!
After being scored again by Chelsea, United began to frequently send long passes from various positions into the box, looking for Wayne Rooney and Tevez.
Neither of them is a tall center, but there is no problem at all in terms of impact.
Of course, Terry, Pepe and others resolutely withstood the pressure.
Both are some of the best centre-backs in the world, and if they can't withstand that pressure, how can they be embarrassed.
Chelsea's defence did well, especially with a two-goal lead, which made them solid.
As the minutes ticked by, the game heated up.
Rain didn't have an impact on Chelsea either, and the sharp edge of their counter-attack was passing.
Similarly, their passing accuracy has been greatly affected.
On several occasions, the counter-attacking players were in good shape, but the football flew elsewhere.
It's been more than seventy minutes, and Ferguson is anxious.
Unable to break through Chelsea's defence, United are doomed.
At this point, two people from the Chelsea bench came up and they ran to the warm-up area, which was about to make a substitution.
Ferguson's eyes were fixed, Falcao and Palacio, two players who are also very capable of fighting alone.
In the last few minutes, under the repeated impact of Cristiano Ronaldo and Ribery, their physical condition has been greatly reduced, and in the heavy rain, the physical consumption of the players is even greater.
What's more, it is still the end of the season, and the players' physical reserves have long been exhausted.
Maintaining the intensity of the counterattack, Lynn's mind was simple and direct.
Ferguson was helpless to respond.
He glanced back at his bench and couldn't help but sigh, the cards in his hand were much worse than Lynn's.
Soon, Ronaldo went off the pitch amid applause, and he became the hero of the game. Two valuable goals helped Chelsea almost lift the trophy.
Similarly, although Ribery did not score, however, his role on the pitch can be erased.
Despite the heavy rain, Lynn greeted the two lovers on the sidelines and handed over the towels that had been prepared long ago.
Rather than letting them go straight to the locker room, Lynn told them to stay on the bench and wait for a moment to celebrate when the victory came.
Ronaldo and Ribery didn't want to go back to shower and change clothes at all, and the fools went back at this time.
The addition of two new forces. Chelsea's counter-attacks increased dramatically, leaving the United players feeling the pressure on them.
Drogba retreated, allowing Falcao and Palacio to step forward to form an inverted triangle.
This combo is full of attack power!
In particular, Drogba's retreat suddenly pulled Manchester United's already unsafe defense into pieces.
Two times in a row, it was Manchester United desperately defending. to avoid being pierced by others.
United's fiery attack was curbed all at once.
Naturally, Ferguson will not raise his hand in surrender, that is not his character.
Manchester United's attacking pattern has also changed.
Side Assault!
Ferguson opted for a tactic that seemed hopeless.
But Chelsea's full-backs soon felt the pressure. It's not small. Wayne Rooney ran to the wing and switched positions with Ryan Giggs.
If it were Giggs himself, Alves wouldn't have had much difficulty, but the little fat man was different.
His impact was even more powerful, and the Brazilian gradually became a little unable to resist under the impact of Rooney.
Eighty-sixth minute. Rooney forced a breakthrough, and Alves used both hands and feet, almost pressing the whole person on Rooney's body.
That is, Rooney was strong enough to rush into the penalty area with Alves.
Seeing that it was not good, Alonso was ready to come over to help the defense. But late.
Rooney finally threw himself on the ground.
The whistle blows the same blows, penalty!
Manchester United fans finally have the right to cheer, it's not easy.
Lynn roared from the sidelines!
This time, though, it wasn't the referee, it was the Chelsea players, who were careless, and it was clear that the Chelsea players didn't respond to the changes after Manchester United's tactical changes.
It was a simple question, Alves was under too much pressure, and the other players took the initiative to help, but no.
That's why Alves can't hold it up.
If Lynn doesn't react, these bunnies won't turn the sky upside down, not to mention, the result is not very good, penalty, which is tantamount to putting Chelsea in danger.
With a few minutes to go, if United make another attempt to equalise, Lynn won't have to guess and the danger of Chelsea's collapse has increased.
The Chelsea players didn't know what Lynn was shouting, and Lynn didn't shout anything himself, he just wanted the players to know that the manager was angry, so you all have to be careful and don't make a mistake.
"Wayne Rooney won a penalty for Manchester United! Now the situation is more complicated and Manchester United is hopeful'
The commentators are well aware of the penalty that Chelsea's victory has become less reliable.
Although the Chelsea players approached the referee to argue, it was not intense, and they also knew that the penalty was not a big problem, the main thing was to delay the time, and in addition, not to let Alves eat the card.
The referee didn't actually want to put Alves in any way, and the action was not bad.
It is enough to give a penalty.
'There was no problem with the penalty at all, Alves did foul! Chelsea players still have to theorize, it doesn't make sense! ”
Ferguson rushed out, clenched his hands, and waved vigorously!
Lynn, who was across from him, just shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, looking regretful, and as a head coach, he had to take that position.
The confusion was quickly quelled, and the referee's wise decision could not be questioned, and the evidence of the penalty was conclusive, and it stood up to scrutiny, and everyone saw it clearly.
When the Chelsea players exited the penalty area, many people were shocked!
The hand of time had reached eighty-nine minutes, and several minutes had passed.
Insidious! Shameless! There are no gentlemen
Manchester United fans, both in Luzhniki and in the pubs in Manchester, have been scolding Chelsea for hooliganism.
Of course, the Blues fans naturally have a villainous grin.
However, when they saw Scholes standing at the penalty spot with a football in his arms, they couldn't laugh anymore, and the penalty still had to be taken.
The fourth referee held up his card and made five minutes of stoppage time.
"Damn it!" Almost everyone on the Manchester United side followed Ferguson's curse. (To be continued......)
