"In this game, Ancelotti sent Torres and Drogba as partners on the forward line. Xiao Yu should still play the attacking midfielder position. He has been very comfortable in this position in recent games, scoring many goals and assists. . However, two young players were deployed on the back line. I wonder what kind of medicine An Shuai is selling in this gourd."
"Maybe Ancelotti thought that Chelsea had already won four championships and would give Sir Alex Ferguson a chance this time."
"Haha! That's not the case. Chelsea's young players have also proven their existence in major competitions. I think they are enough to provide a stepping stone for Sir Alex Ferguson."
"That's true. Let me talk about Manchester United's roster. Ferguson also arranged a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper No. 1 veteran Edwin van der Sar,
Defenders No. 3 Evra, No. 15 Vidic, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 22 O'Shea,
Midfielder No. 25 Valencia, No. 11 Giggs, No. 16 Carrick, No. 17 Nani,
The forward combination is No. 10 Rooney and No. 9 Berbatov. "
"Manchester United has basically put together its strongest lineup at the moment. Park Ji-sung, who was injured in the last Champions League game, also continues to be injured."
"Ouch! Thinking about how he was injured at that time, I feel the pain for him."
"Okay! The players on both sides have already taken their positions, and the game is about to begin. In this game, Manchester United still kicks off first. Berbatov gave the ball to Rooney, and Rooney... Rooney hit the goal!"
"Hey! What a sudden idea! But Cech was in a good position and got the ball easily."
"The kick-off went straight to the goal. This is not a five-a-side football match."
"However, Xiao Yu does have a record of scoring directly in the opening game."
"Yes, yes, it also set the world's fastest goal record of 1.37 seconds."
"It can be seen that there is a lot of pressure on Manchester United."
"Cech took the goal kick."
"Hey! Shoot directly!" Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu almost screamed in unison.
"besides!"
"Torres shoots back!"
"Ha! How exciting!"
"Oops! Van der Sar has made a meritorious service again!" Zhan Jun sighed and immediately answered.
"Xiao Yu's kick was too sudden. He didn't even stop the ball. He caught Cech in the air and hit the goal directly." Zhang Lu also said.
"The two teams are so tense today!" Zhan Jun couldn't believe what just happened on the field.
"At the beginning of the game, Manchester United scored with one kick, and Chelsea directly responded with two kicks. Today's game will be good to watch."
"Yes! The attitude of both sides is very clear, that is to attack, and a confrontation is inevitable. Let's see if Chelsea can take over Manchester United's attack on their last remaining championship spot. To We know that there is no second leg in this FA Cup semi-final, so as long as we lose this game, there will be no chance."
After Xiao Yu saw Van der Sar save his and Torres' shots in succession, he shook his head repeatedly and said to himself: It is true that this old man has great ambitions. Van der Sar's prediction is simply amazing.
Although he did not use the must-goal card, just relying on his 93 shooting and 99 shooting power, as long as he hits within the goal frame, it is difficult for ordinary goalkeepers to defend.
In the next 10 minutes, Xiao Yu completed two more long-range shots.
As a result, one kick missed and the other was once again denied by Van der Sar.
It seems that he needs to think more about it. The threat to Van der Sar from long range shots is really not too big. Of course, this refers to the situation when Xiao Yu does not use the shot to score.
Of course, it was not just Xiao Yu who shot on Chelsea's side. Drogba, Torres, and Lampard also launched attacks on Manchester United's goal.
Even right back teenager Azpilicueta completed a long shot from outside the penalty area.
But Manchester United's defense was really like an iron wall. No matter how fierce Chelsea's attack was like a storm, they were able to resolve them one by one.
Although there were several crises, they were all turned around under the full defense of Van der Sar and two experienced central defenders.
The closest to scoring in the first half was Manchester United.
Although they only had 5 shots in the first half, and only 2 of them were on target, including Rooney's opening shot, Giggs' pass to Berbatov almost allowed Chelsea to be breached. .
At that time, Berbatov received the pass and broke through Terry's defense in a flash. Then facing Cech alone, he chose to calmly push into the far corner.
A shot came out, and although Cech tried hard to block it, he still didn't touch the ball.
Seeing that Cech was helpless, Van Dijk suddenly blocked the ball outside the goal line with a sliding tackle. Cech also rushed over and hugged the ball tightly.
In fact, thinking about this rescue is still very scary. Van Dyke's sliding tackle also has a high probability of blocking the ball into the goal. It can only be said that Van Dyke is a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers.
However, as time passed, the game gradually entered a stalemate stage.
In the final stage of the first half, with such a high-intensity offensive battle, both sides had some physical problems.
The two teams also entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.
In the first half of the game, Chelsea completed a total of 17 shots, 13 of which were on target. Such a high number of shots and a ratio of shots on target made Ancelotti quite satisfied.
"Xiao! How did you feel in the first half?" Ancelotti called Xiao Yu out of the locker room alone and asked him.
"Today they were indeed well prepared. It was difficult for us to enter the penalty area, and it was difficult for us to break through Van der Sar's ten-finger pass with long shots. It was indeed a bit troublesome." Xiao Yu also told the truth.
"What do you think?" Ancelotti continued to ask him.
"I'll play forward and let A Kuan, Ding Ding or Wang Chu cooperate with me." Since Ancelotti asked him what he thought, Xiao Yu naturally said it politely.
"Okay! Let's change the formation for the second half." After speaking, Ancelotti patted Xiao Yu's shoulder: "Go and rest for a while, I have to rely on you for the second half!"
"Yeah!" Xiao Yu nodded and walked into the locker room.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, with Chelsea taking the lead in making personnel adjustments.
Lampard and Mikel came off and replaced by De Bruyne and Wang Chu.
The change immediately breathed new life into the game.
Wang Chu's agility and De Bruyne's creativity have brought new possibilities to Chelsea's offense.
However, what surprised people was Chelsea's kick-off. When Drogba pushed the ball to Xiao Yu, he actually hit the ball towards the Manchester United goal.
"Oops! Xiao Yu also kicked Manchester United in!" Zhan Jun explained in disbelief.
"This is called repaying the other person with his own way. Xiao Yu also has a problem and doesn't hide it. The matter is over now. If you are in the first year of junior high school, you can be in the fifteenth year of my junior year." Zhang Lu explained.
"Although I'm just copying the gourd, Xiao Yu's kick is much higher quality than Rooney's opening kick. Just looking at the embarrassing look of Van der Sar barely blocking the ball off the crossbar is enough."
"Van der Sar is 41 years old. He jumped back and fell into the goal. I'm really worried that something will happen to him."
