Chapter 994: Opportunity to Seal Victory

In the 80th minute of the game, Ancelotti saw that Drogba's tricks were too familiar to Manchester United players and restricted Drogba very hard. He replaced Drogba with Anelka.

Drogba was suddenly substituted when he was in the middle of the game. As a meritorious player of the Blues, he was substituted at a critical moment of the game. Drogba felt very humiliated. When he came off the field, he did not shake hands with Anelka, nor did he He high-fived Ancelotti, treated Ancelotti like air, and went straight back to the dressing room.

Ancelotti's substitution also caused huge controversy. Commentator Andy Gray said: "Drogba was replaced! This is incredible. We are only one goal behind now. This is not the time when Drogba is needed. Ah, if we really have to change, we should change Torres, right? Besides, when is this happening? Shouldn’t Fatty An use Anelka for a defender? Is it risky to have three forwards? The back line has already mentioned the center circle , this is already very risky!”

Souness, Andy Gray's partner, said bluntly: "Ancelotti is a typical Italian. He has no courage. He was like this in World War I and World War II. When allies are in difficulty, he surrenders when there is danger. At this time, Ancelotti Ti Qiuwen's weakness of not taking risks has been completely exposed. Let's imagine, if Mourinho is now coaching Chelsea, who will Mourinho give this substitution spot? I think it will definitely not be Drogba. of."

Originally, Ancelotti lost all four, leaving only one Champions League to compete for. Fans complained about Ancelotti. Now seeing that the only Champions League champion may have lost hope, the fans have given up, and everyone has stopped applauding and cheering. , started to mock Ancelotti.

"Ancelotti is a good coach! Except for substitutions on the spot!"

"Is it time to go to the back at this time? Why go to Anelka?"

"Substitution! There's nothing wrong with it! Being behind by one goal against the Premier League hegemon in an away game is acceptable, but what? This is home court!"

"At this moment, I think Ancelotti must be thinking about the night in Istanbul!"

Although the fans' comments could not reach Ancelotti's ears, Drogba's performance just now made Ancelotti very unhappy. After 80 minutes, wouldn't it be okay to replace the main forward? Besides, Drogba's physical fitness is almost the same. Manchester United fans are really demanding!

After Anelka came on the field, Chelsea also reduced long passes and unlimited crosses, and began to use the personal skills of Anelka and Torres to break through from the wing and make trouble in the ribs of the penalty area.

I have to say that Ancelotti's approach is very thoughtful, because Manchester United is now densely defending and cannot grab points in the middle. Manchester United's central defense must be stretched from the wings and then attacked in the middle.

Faced with Chelsea's tactical adjustments, Manchester United still adhered to its practice of controlling the ball in the backcourt to kill time.

The difference is that because it is too dangerous to control the ball in the backcourt, Manchester United's approach became to control the ball in the frontcourt.

This is what Gao Xiaodong, the king of wretchedness, started doing first.

It turned out that when Scholes made a long pass to Rooney, Rooney turned his back to get the ball, but Chelsea players always kicked him with the ball from behind. The referee saw that Chelsea was lagging behind at home and paid little attention to the small move. , so Rooney never gets the ball.

Rooney saw that his teammates did not give him long passes, and his physical fitness also declined. When there was no ball, he often shrank to the midfielder position to defend. However, Gao Xiaodong bought a small supplement pill, and his physical fitness remained the same. He and Rooney Changed positions and reached the front to get the ball.

In the 81st minute, Scholes was forced to control the ball in the backcourt and was unable to turn around. Before he could pass the ball, he turned around and kicked towards the frontcourt.

This kick was not intended for Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong used his speed advantage to grab the landing spot.

Gao Xiaodong didn't have to get the ball in the middle like Rooney. He jumped up and used his chest to stop the ball back, and then dropped down to grab the ball and take it to the wing.

If Gao Xiaodong walks to the middle, he will definitely be greeted by several double-teams, including tactical fouls. But if Gao Xiaodong walks to the side, all the players in the middle will not dare to follow Gao Xiaodong, and only Mikel will follow closely. Gao Xiaodong, force Gao Xiaodong to the corner.

Gao Xiaodong was not in a hurry. He took the ball in a diagonal direction and ran straight to the corner kick area.

When he came to the corner flag area, Gao Xiaodong grabbed the flagpole with one hand and raised his butt to protect the ball, preventing Mikel from grabbing the ball.

Mikel made a tackle with his foot and the ball was shoveled out of the sideline.

The linesman was watching next to the two of them, and he could see it very clearly. No matter how loud the Chelsea fans in the stands were, the linesman could not pretend not to see it, and he awarded the foul ball to Manchester United.

It was Rooney who came to serve the throw-in.

Rooney threw the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and Lampard was very smart in defense. He wanted to hit Gao Xiaodong from behind and knock the ball out of the sideline. According to the referee's recent penalty rules, it is very likely that the ball will be handed over to Gao Xiaodong. Chelsea.

However, Gao Xiaodong is not Rooney. When Rooney passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong was already standing up and hunched over, waiting for the defensive player.

In such a shameful posture, Lampard couldn't hit his back even if he wanted to, but could only hit his butt.

Lampard couldn't care less and wanted to hit Gao Xiaodong's butt, but Gao Xiaodong put his weight back so much that Lampard didn't hit Gao Xiaodong.

Lampard did not knock down Gao Xiaodong immediately. Gao Xiaodong took the ball and took it to the corner flag area. Holding the flagpole in his hand, he protected the ball at the angle between the baseline and the sideline.

Chelsea fans are all too familiar with this scene. Manchester United did this in the first round of the league, or Gao Xiaodong did this. This time he did it again. This is simply humiliating Chelsea.

There were boos in the stands, and the on-site commentator Souness also frowned and said: "Mr. Golden Ball actually did this, isn't it a bit cheap?"

Andy Gray explained for Gao Xiaodong: "This is his style, and he played this way when he won the Golden Globe Award."

Zhukova in the VIP box smiled and said to Emma: "This kid is here again, so shameless! Is he also like this when chasing girls?"

Emma looked amused and said, "How do I know."

Zhukova said: "I don't believe he hasn't chased you."

Emma said: "We have only met a few times, why is he chasing me?"

While talking, the situation on the field changed again.

The corner flag area was too small to be guarded by two players. Chelsea center back Terry anxiously walked outside the baseline and went around to the opposite side of Gao Xiaodong to grab the ball.

Gao Xiaodong is not a blind person. He saw Terry coming around and the central defender was missing someone. Gao Xiaodong used his super glasses to see clearly. Except for Lampard and Mikel behind him, the corner The flag reached the restricted area and there was no one there.

Gao Xiaodong took advantage of Terry's approach to attract everyone's attention. He suddenly knocked the ball back with his heel, piercing Lampard's crotch, and then turned sharply towards the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong was hunched over to protect the ball. Neither Lampard nor Mikel could see where the ball was, and their attention was also attracted by Terry. Gao Xiaodong immediately turned around after his heel went through his crotch. Lampard was leaning on Gao Xiaodong with a ball. Called to reach for the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly turned around and threw Lampard towards Terry.

Lampard eagerly reached out to grab Gao Xiaodong's jersey, trying to hold Gao Xiaodong back, but Gao Xiaodong's jersey was also specially made and was slippery, making him unable to grab it. Lampard and Terry happened to bump into each other.

Mikel was also attracted by Lampard and Gao Xiaodong. He did not see the ball at the first time. Instead, Rooney, who was standing further away, noticed the ball being passed out first. He grabbed the ball before Mikel.

Gao Xiaodong got rid of Lampard and Terry, and one side of the penalty area was already blank.

Gao Xiaodong quickly rushed into the penalty area and shouted: "Wayne, give me the ball."

Rooney quickly passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong before Mikel pounced on him. He also ran towards the penalty area, shouting as he ran: "Pass it to me! Pass it to me! I haven't broken through Chelsea's goal in ten years."
