Chapter 854 Playing with Ivan

Manchester United followed the pre-match tactical arrangement, with Gao Xiaodong and Nani attacking Chelsea from both sides.

Gao Xiaodong faced Chelsea defender Ivanovic.

When he was at Inter Milan, Inter Milan faced Chelsea in the knockout round of the Champions League. Due to the absence of Ashley Cole, Chelsea's left back was a huge shortcoming. Mourinho arranged for Gao Xiaodong to play as a right winger. As a result, Gao Xiaodong beat Chelsea with a countdown.

This time Ashley. Cole came back and faced Ashley, who had speed, skills and quick turns. Cole and Gao Xiaodong obviously don't have much advantage playing on the right wing, so Ferguson asked Nani to contain Ashley on the right. Cole, let Gao Xiaodong attack Ivanovic on the left.

Serbian Ivanovic is 1.88 meters tall and can play as a full-back or center back. His ability is certainly not bad, but with such a height, he will definitely not turn around too fast. Ferguson uses his height of 1.73 meters to exert strength. Gao Xiaodong came to deal with him, which can be regarded as the right medicine. The most threatening counterattack in the 13th minute was Gao Xiaodong's pass that was completed by Ivanovic.

After a success, Manchester United tasted the sweetness. Soon Scholes passed a ball behind Gao Xiaodong, allowing Gao Xiaodong to use his speed to break through Ivanovic.

However, Ivanovic turned around slowly, but not at a slow speed. When Gao Xiaodong caught up with Ivanovic, Ivanovic had already turned around and started. Gao Xiaodong ran to the baseline and wanted to pass the ball. However, Vanovic was not thrown away by him and blocked the ball with one kick, blocking the ball out of the baseline.

Gao Xiaodong was a little surprised. He felt that he might have underestimated the tall guard's starting and accelerating abilities.

Gao Xiaodong took a corner kick, and Manchester United's two central defenders came up to fight for the top. Due to Chelsea's excellent air defense, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball extremely fast, and the ball was not obtained at several high points in the penalty area.

Rooney did not have the height to compete with the tall defender. He ran to the back point and thought he had no chance. Unexpectedly, Rooney jumped up and headed the ball, but the ball was too fast. Rooney jumped a little slower and the ball hit him. The baseline popped up on the shoulder.

Manchester United attacked Chelsea's right wing, and Chelsea also attacked Manchester United's right wing. Cech passed the ball to Ashley Cole. Ashley Cole dribbled the ball to the frontcourt under Nani's pressure. He and Malouda The tacit cooperation broke through the defense of Nani and O'Shea. Malouda saw the very buffalo Essien crowding Carrick forward and crossed to find Essien.

However, Gao Xiaodong quickly made up for it when Carrick fell to the ground. He cleared the ball before Essien.

The Chelsea army was pressing forward, and Lampard grabbed the clearance ball. The Blues' magic lantern fired a long-range shot from 30 meters away. The ball hit Scholes' leg and bounced out of the baseline.

Chelsea's corner kicks were very powerful. Terry, Luiz, Ivanovic and Drogba were all able to grab points. After Lampard drove the ball in, Ivanovic hit the ball, but after the defensive players Due to interference, the ball went slightly over the crossbar.

Manchester United attacked, and the ball was handed to Gao Xiaodong again. After seeing Ivanovic's speed, Gao Xiaodong no longer directly used his speed to force Ivanovic. He pretended to break through to the baseline, and immediately stopped and turned around, making a gesture. Cut across to the restricted area.

Just as Ivanovic turned around, Gao Xiaodong immediately made another Cruyff turn and tried to break through to the baseline. After turning around three times in a row, Ivanovic was shaken so much that he could no longer keep up with Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong went down to the baseline and passed the ball to the penalty area.

The players in Manchester United who grab points are not tall, and Gao Xiaodong does not give high balls. The ball is passed on the ground, and it is very fast. If the forward touches it, he will score, and if the defender touches it, there may be an own goal.

But Rooney had already inserted himself between the two central defenders, and Terry did not dare to let it go. He took the risk to intercept the ball, and the ball flew close to the goal post and flew out of the baseline, scaring the Chelsea fans into exclaiming.

CCTV's on-site commentator He Hui laughed and said: "Xiaodong is a thief when he plays football. Ivanovic's speed, strength and height are better than him. He turned around and shook Ivanovic to pieces."

In the VIP box, Emma whispered to Zhukova: "It looks terrible that Ivan can't guard against Gao Xiaodong.

"

Zhukova said: "This height is really annoying."

Gao Xiaodong then took a corner kick, but Chelsea's air defense was really good. The ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Terry. Carrick grabbed the spot and distributed it to the wing again for Gao Xiaodong.

Ivanovic had just defended a header in the penalty area. At this time, it was too late to cover the wing. Gao Xiaodong once again passed the ball into the penalty area to find Vidic who was advancing, but the ball was still pushed out by the defensive player.

This time the spot was snatched by Lampard, and Ivanovic was made angry by Gao Xiaodong. He quickly moved forward, trying to save some face with his offense.

Lampard knew how to take advantage of Ivanovic. He hit a long pass to the wing. Ivanovic jumped high and overpowered Gao Xiaodong to ferry the ball to the penalty area.

Gao Xiaodong was annoyed by Ivanovich's pressure. He pushed up and knocked Ivan upside down.

Drogba was well prepared. He rushed into the penalty area from the gap between Ferdinand and Vidic like an armored car and headed the ball into the dead center of the goal.

Van der Sar had no time to react, but the ball hit the corner between the crossbar and the goalpost and bounced out.

Abu and Zhukova were ready to open their mouths to cheer, but unexpectedly they hit the goalpost, and they both sighed in frustration.

Edward asked his brother Joel: "How did Gao defend the ball?"

Edward's voice was not low, and everyone in the box could hear it.

Joel glared at Edward and said displeasedly: "Given the height gap, how can we make up for it?"

Seeing the ball flying in front of Scholes, Gao Xiaodong immediately started to raise his hand to ask for the ball, hoping to counterattack Ivanovic before he got up.

But Anelka is also a veteran golfer. Seeing that the situation was not going well, he stretched out his foot to knock Gao Xiaodong down.

Referee Atkinson did not see it and did not stop the game.

Scholes wanted to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong was kicked down and had to counterattack quickly. He could only pass the ball to Nani.

Nani's wing breakthrough skills are better than Gao Xiaodong, but he is facing Ashley. Cole, facing the former best left back in the world, Nani failed to force a breakthrough, and the ball was shoveled out of the sideline by Cole.

Although Manchester United won a throw-in, they lost the opportunity to counterattack quickly. Both Gao Xiaodong and Scholes protested to referee Atkinson, saying that Anelka had fouled, but Atkinson ignored it.

Manchester United slowly organized a positional battle, and the ball passed to Gao Xiaodong's feet again.

Anelka came back to help defend Gao Xiaodong, Evra also assisted, and Manchester United formed a two-on-two situation on the wing.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong take the ball forward, Evra alertly cut inside, allowing Gao Xiaodong to take away Anelka.

Gao Xiaodong made a strong thrust and turned around, as if he was going to repeat his old trick. Ivanovic was worried that Gao Xiaodong would cross him, but he could only keep up.

As expected, Gao Xiaodong repeated his old trick, turned around with Cruyff, and headed towards the baseline again.

Ivanovic knew clearly that there was nothing he could do. He turned slowly and was too slow. He was thrown away by Gao Xiaodong and could no longer stop Gao Xiaodong from passing the ball. However, Ivanovic still had to chase to prevent Gao Xiaodong from getting inside the baseline. cut.

The opportunity to cross has come up, and most people will cross, but Gao Xiaodong is not the majority. He made a pass from the baseline, but then smashed the ball back.

This time Ivanovic was shaken and fell out of the bottom line, completely stunned.

"Beautiful! It looks so beautiful!"

"Who said you can't be taller than others!"

"The horror of Ivan is going to make him faint!"

…

There was a sound of exclamation in the stands and commentary box.

In the VIP box, Edward looked a little embarrassed, while Emma showed a mysterious smile.

Gao Xiaodong knocked down Ivanovic and immediately cut inside to the penalty area.

Chelsea center back John Terry had to move to the wing to prevent Gao Xiaodong from shooting from a small angle before goalkeeper Petr Cech blocked the near corner.

When Gao Xiaodong was dribbling the ball, he saw Rooney running quickly behind Terry, but Chelsea defender David Luiz failed to keep up. He immediately passed the ball back, giving Rooney a chance to hit a mostly empty goal.

Rooney lived up to Gao Xiaodong's trust. He pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and shot the ball into the lower left corner of the goal.

1:0

The two fat men joined forces to help Manchester United take the lead at Stamford Bridge.
