Chapter 1200 Halftime Three Goals
Gao Xiaodong is the core of Manchester United's offense. He has extremely broad vision and precise passing.
It is most dangerous to let Gao Xiaodong get the ball when attacking.
Chelsea's players have a clear division of labor. Some go to surround Gao Xiaodong, while others block Gao Xiaodong's possible passing routes, trying to prevent Gao Xiaodong from launching a counterattack immediately.
Gao Xiaodong had already observed the situation on the court when grabbing the ball and knew the position of his teammates well.
Before the Chelsea players arrived, Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball and passed the ball diagonally, directly finding the right back Phil Jones who ran up from behind him.
Phil Jones has average defensive ability and good offense. After receiving the ball, he took advantage of Chelsea's defensive players not coming back and rushed towards the opponent's half non-stop.
Phil Jones was in good health and fast. He passed half the field, and only when he reached the 30-meter area did someone from Chelsea come over to intercept.
Phil Jones ran excitedly with the ball and was about to break through Ivanovic who came to intercept. At this time, he heard someone shouting his name.
Phil Jones saw Gao Xiaodong, who was following closely. Gao Xiaodong was raising his hands and calling to him.
Phil Jones got excited, calmed down, and immediately passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. He continued to move forward, intending to take away a defensive player for Gao Xiaodong.
However, Gao Xiaodong was not prepared to dribble the ball forward himself. He then passed the ball behind Ivanovic and played a two-on-one with Phil Jones.
Phil Jones was pleasantly surprised. He was running slowly, but when he saw Gao Xiaodong passing the ball, he immediately accelerated and ran to catch Gao Xiaodong's pass.
The weight of Gao Xiaodong's pass is very good. The ball's rolling route is beyond Ivanovic's control, but Phil Jones will not be unable to catch it.
Phil Jones caught up with the ball before the baseline. While running at high speed, Phil Jones was unable to stop the ball and directly hooked the ball into the penalty area.
Phil Jones exerted force when hooking, trying to keep the ball's flight path away from the goal. His goal was not to pass it to Rooney who was outflanking him in the middle, but to pass it to Gao Xiaodong.
This is not because Phil Jones has any objection to Rooney, but when Rooney is advancing, Terry is following him closely, and Phil Jones is afraid that Terry will destroy his pass.
However, the ball was so fast and Phil Jones ran so fast. It was difficult for Phil Jones to control it well, and the ball still ran in front of Rooney.
Chelsea leader Terry has rich experience, is tall and has long legs, and has a huge interception range. Phil Jones's deliberate hook failed to escape Terry's interception.
However, Phil Jones's passing speed was fast and far away from Terry. Terry reluctantly flew out to block the ball.
Terry's block was very clever, and the ball hit the leg of Gao Xiaodong who came up at high speed.
Gao Xiaodong ran very fast, and the ball was blocked by Terry very quickly. Gao Xiaodong was unable to react, and the ball bounced out like a free electron.
What's even more unfortunate is that the ball accidentally bounced in front of Rooney who was about to return to defense.
For Rooney, this is absolutely pie in the sky.
Rooney stopped the ball, half-turned and volleyed, and the ball flew straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
The position of Rooney's shot was near the penalty spot. At such a close distance, goalkeeper Cech could not react.
In a hurry, Cech tried to intercept with his legs, but the ball still flew from Cech's legs into the net.
3:0
Rooney scored his 10th league goal of the season and almost sealed the victory for Manchester United.
It was a happy thing to be able to break through Chelsea's goal at Old Trafford. After scoring, Rooney excitedly ran towards the stands with his arms raised.
Although Rooney had many scandals before the season, he is still the most popular person besides Gao Xiaodong and the hero in the hearts of local fans in England. Seeing Rooney score, Manchester United fans were all happy and stood up to support Rooney. Little Fatty clapped and cheered.
Ferguson didn't seem to expect to score the third goal. After all, Chelsea's 3-goal lead at halftime was a bit beyond imagination. After Rooney scored, Ferguson jumped up excitedly, "Okay, okay! Wayne! Well done! Good boy!" Nice fight!"
The on-site commentator also stood up and applauded, "Rooney scored! Manchester United scored the third goal! It is simply unstoppable! Rooney's goal is beautiful! This is because God did not want Xiaodong High School to be more beautiful than before, and gave Rooney a good Chance! There is no suspense about the outcome now. Manchester United scored 3 goals in the half. Even if they play worse in the second half, Chelsea will probably have a hard time making a comeback at Old Trafford! Compared to making a comeback, I think the Blues still have more Think about how to avoid a tragedy, you know Arsenal conceded 8 goals here..."
Undoubtedly, Chelsea people are reminded of the game when Manchester United beat Arsenal, after all, they are very close.
Chelsea coach Villas-Boas is no longer confident, no longer as proud as a little rooster. His face is ugly, his lips are trembling, and all the strength in his body can only support him standing.
Lost! Completely lost!
Conceded three goals in the half! This is an absolute disgrace!
Villas-Boas can imagine what kind of pressure he will face if he continues to concede goals and return with a disastrous defeat.
Villas-Boas is not Wenger, the professor is a meritorious coach of the Gunners, and Villas-Boas is just a small coach who has made some achievements in a small club. He has made no contribution to Chelsea and has little capital to make Blues fans forgive his defeat.
But if he doesn't organize a counterattack, bloody Chelsea fans will still not forgive him as the head coach.
After Chelsea conceded the third goal, there were only three or four minutes left in the first half. During these three or four minutes, Villas-Boas had been weighing and did not give any instructions on the game.
Chelsea owner Abramovich, who was sitting in the VIP box, was so angry that he slapped the table on the table after seeing Rooney score the third goal.
Sending away the famous coach Carlo Ancelotti and bringing in the rising star Villas-Boas is a gamble in itself.
Abramovich hoped that he could find another Mourinho, but judging from the opening games and the content played by Chelsea, Abramovich was disappointed. He felt that he might have made a wrong bet and that Mourinho could not have a second one. .
Perhaps, he should put down his dignity and directly invite Mourinho back instead of hiring a replacement.
Joel, the son of Manchester United owner Glazer, was very happy in the VIP box. Facing a strong opponent like Chelsea, no one expected that the victory would be sealed in the first half.
It's great to have players like Dongao and Rooney. Joel is truly happy for his team.
After the Manchester United players celebrated, the game continued.
After Chelsea players lost the ball continuously, their thoughts became confused. Some wanted to take revenge and attack fiercely, while others were afraid of losing the ball and wanted to defend. Their thinking was not unified, the offense did not pose a threat, and the defense lacked coordination.
After Manchester United's players scored three goals, these young players felt that they had a chance to win and played a little laxly. They did not pass when they should pass and did not shoot when they should shoot. Individual performance trumped teamwork. Chelsea did not catch Manchester United's laxity. opportunity to regain the score, but Manchester United did not seize the opportunity of Chelsea's inconsistent thinking to expand the score.
The first half of the game is over. Players from both sides return to the locker room to rest. After 15 minutes, they will change sides and continue the contest again.
