Chapter 1,202 Defeat Chelsea

Chelsea had just taken some advantage in the middle, and Manchester United immediately made up for this shortcoming.

Chelsea could not continue to shoot in Manchester United's penalty area. They had no choice but to take long shots from the outside of the penalty area as they did in the first half.

However, Lampard, Chelsea's long-range shooter, is off the field, and Chelsea's midfielder's long-range shooting ability has declined. Their long-range shots are not as threatening to Manchester United's goal as they were in the first half.

Chelsea's attack was hampered, and Manchester United didn't just want to hold on to a two-goal advantage.

Manchester United hopes to score more goals against this old rival that has been competing for the championship for many years. It is best to crush the opponent and make them lose the confidence to compete with themselves.

Manchester United are always ready to counterattack.

In the 54th minute, Chelsea attacked and Sturridge passed the ball. Mata passed Valencia and shot into the near corner from outside the penalty area.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea is getting better and better, and he flew to save the ball.

The ball was obtained by Gao Xiaodong who actively defended.

Manchester United's long-awaited counterattack opportunity finally arrived.

Gao Xiaodong didn't wait for his opponent to press the ball in the high post and immediately passed the ball to Nani on the wing.

Nani took the ball and ran quickly along the wing towards Chelsea's penalty area.

Manchester United counterattacked quickly, and it was impossible for those behind to keep up. The only ones to respond to Nani were Rooney and Hernandez in front.

Chelsea defender Bosingwa blocked Nani in front. Nani played a two-on-one with Rooney in the middle and got rid of Bosingwa. Instead, he quickly crossed to the outside of the penalty area and shot hard.

Nani shot from outside the penalty area instead of crossing the ball, much to the surprise of Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech.

But Cech is Cech, and he subconsciously fell to the ground and hit the ball with his hand.

The ball that was supposed to fly into the net deflected slightly and hit the post and bounced out.

Nani's consciousness was very good. After shooting, he continued to follow up and prepared for a follow-up shot. The ball flew towards Nani. As long as Nani made another follow-up shot, without Cech, the ball would undoubtedly be scored.

However, Bosingwa also followed up. He was a little slower than Nani, but at this time, Bosingwa didn't care. He flew from behind Nani and headed for the ball that popped out.

Nani had already raised his foot to shoot, but before his foot touched the ball, Bosingwa's body hit Nani first. Nani was knocked down, and the ball hit Bosingwa and bounced out of the baseline.

Nani almost scored, but was knocked down by Bosingwa. He was so angry that he got up from the ground and signaled to the referee that Bosingwa had committed a foul and asked the referee to award a penalty kick.

However, the referee believed that Bosingwa had touched the ball, so there was no foul and only a corner kick was awarded.

Nani was very annoyed and continued to protest to the referee, but was awarded a "topaz card" by the referee.

Gao Xiaodong saw that Nani was still trying to make progress, so he hurried over and stopped him, "Nani, calm down, we are still two goals ahead."

Nani said anxiously: "He didn't touch the ball and hit me first."

Gao Xiaodong hugged Nani and said: "Forget it, we are still two goals ahead. Do you want us to beat one less person?"

After saying a few words, Nani calmed down and said angrily: "Damn, it's unlucky to meet a blind referee."

Gao Xiaodong laughed and said: "Forget it, just take care of the disabled and go get some points. I will serve the corner kick to the back."

Gao Xiaodong pushed Nani and went to take the corner kick.

Gao Xiaodong's corner kick went very high, passing all the players in the penalty area, and found Nani who quickly came in from behind.

Nani had just performed well and Chelsea players were keeping a close eye on him.

When Nani grabbed the backcourt, Chelsea midfielder Meireles quickly blocked Nani, shook his head and pushed the ball out of the penalty area.

Fletcher in the midfield grabbed the spot where the ball landed. He took two steps forward and followed up with a long shot.

Fletcher's long-range shooting skills were incomparable to those of Lampard and Gao Xiaodong, not to mention that the distance was still about thirty meters. It was even more difficult to hit a high-quality shot. The ball was not suppressed and flew high into the stands.

In the second half, Manchester United was scored by Chelsea at the beginning. Manchester United fans were shocked, but then Manchester United took control of the situation on the field and Chelsea never created a more threatening shot.

The Manchester United fans were very relaxed when watching the game. When they saw Fletcher firing an anti-aircraft gun, the Manchester United fans did not complain. They all laughed and said that Fletcher's kick was outrageous and the plane was about to be brought down.

Chelsea fans were obviously not in such a good mood. They were very anxious when they saw that their players could not score again for a long time. Many people began to shout loudly to encourage their team to score goals quickly.

When Villas-Boas saw the 65th minute, he became anxious and made another substitution adjustment. Young forward Lukaku came on and replaced Sturridge to continue to strengthen the offense.

At this moment, Chelsea already has three forwards on the court. The new youngster Lukaku is so strong that he is known as a little monster.

Lukaku is strong and has good physical fitness, Torres has superb shooting skills, and Anelka is experienced. The three of them besieged Manchester United's penalty area from three lines, once again putting great pressure on Manchester United's defense.

After the game entered the confrontation stage, Ferguson did not underestimate his opponent. He had been paying attention to the game, especially after Villas-Boas replaced Lukaku. Ferguson saw that the situation was not good, and he immediately made substitution adjustments.

Ferguson replaced veteran cool Berbatov this time.

Chelsea were very tight on Rooney and Hernandez and did not give them a chance to catch the ball, turn around or break through. Rooney and Hernandez have not had a chance to shoot for a long time.

Ferguson hopes to replace the experienced Berbatov and let him and Rooney hold the ball in the frontcourt to create opportunities for the players in the back row.

Ferguson's substitution idea is also a good one. Berbatov is a rare technical player in the Manchester United team. He also has a very tall stature and can compete for headers. If he and Rooney can play the ball, Gao Xiaodong, Wa With Lencia and Nani joining the attack in the back row, Chelsea's defense will never be too easy.

However, since Berbatov was snatched away from the starting position by Hernandez, he has been unhappy and has a mediocre training attitude. In addition, he does not like running that much. After he came on the field, Manchester United could not control the ball in the frontcourt and shot. There are fewer opportunities than before.

One after another, Chelsea's offense became better and better. Entering the last fifteen minutes, they continued to create good shooting opportunities.

In the 77th minute of Chelsea, Mata passed the ball from the wing, and Torres, who scored a goal, came into his own. He passed two people and then shot hard from the edge of the arc in the penalty area.

Manchester United's De Gea didn't dare to fly and save the ball.

Mata followed up with a follow-up shot but missed the ball.

Torres shot again from 12 yards, but the ball went over the crossbar.

When the game entered the 80th minute, Villas-Boas made the last substitution adjustment, midfielder Mikel replaced Meireles.

Soon Chelsea got another great opportunity in the 85th minute. Ramirez intercepted Berbatov's ball and passed it straight to Torres.

Torres turned his back and passed Manchester United centre-back Smalling.

Evans rushed over to cover, but he collided with Smalling. The two fell to the ground, and Torres easily dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

De Gea quickly attacked the ball at Torres' feet.

Torres did not shoot directly this time. He smashed the ball past De Gea who rushed too hastily.

At this moment, Manchester United no longer had a defensive player, and goalkeeper De Gea also fell to the ground. Everyone thought that the goal would definitely be scored. However, Torres surprisingly missed the empty goal and the ball flew out against the goal post. Bottom line.

Manchester United fans and players couldn't laugh or cry, and could only secretly sigh for God's blessing.

The Chelsea fans were stunned and cursed Torres angrily.

Torres missed the ball in front of an empty goal, which dealt a huge blow to Chelsea's morale. Later, Manchester United recovered significantly and Chelsea's offense was greatly reduced. They could no longer get a good shooting opportunity and could only accept the result of losing in the away game.
