Chapter 855: Missed Opportunity

After scoring the goal, Rooney rushed towards Gao Xiaodong and threw Gao Xiaodong to the ground with a tiger pounce.

The Manchester United players who came in immediately also ran over and crushed Rooney and Gao Xiaodong in the penalty area.

The few Manchester United fans in the stands also cheered loudly, extremely excited for Manchester United's away goal against Chelsea.

The on-site commentator Andy Gray exclaimed: "Go in! Manchester United has scored! Rooney! Lu ambition has scored! The assist was Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong passed Ivanovic and gave Rooney a nanny-like Assist! Rooney's shot can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and Gao Xiaodong's previous pass was really beautiful, and the knife-wielding defender Ivanovic was not fooled at all."

In the VIP box, Manchester United's young club Joel stood up and applauded with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with Manchester United's performance.

Abramovich's face turned gloomy. Although he didn't value the league very much now, with such a huge point gap, it would be difficult for him to accept losing to his old rival at home again.

Zhukova frowned. She was also very dissatisfied with the competition, but her best friend Emma. Watson's face was calm, as if Chelsea were not lagging behind.

When Edward saw Rooney scoring the goal, he raised his hands and shouted, and looked at Emma proudly. Watson seems to be saying, look, we, Manchester United, are the dominant players in the Premier League.

Manchester United's goal broke the balance on the field. After Chelsea kicked off in the center circle, they quickly launched a fierce counterattack against Manchester United.

Ramirez directly found Drogba with a long pass. Drogba stopped the ball on his chest. Under Ferdinand's personal marking, Drogba still passed the ball to the wing to find Malouda.

Although Nani had returned to the edge of his penalty area, he was not close to Malouda. Malouda knocked the ball to the center and followed up with a long shot.

Malouda's kick was very powerful, but the angle was not controlled well, and the ball flew out of the sideline against the goal post.

Manchester United took a goal kick. Van der Sar was experienced and did not take a big kick. He passed the ball to full-back Evra and organized the attack from the backcourt.

After Chelsea lost the ball, they pressed hard in the high post. Evra got the ball and Anelka quickly pressed it. At the same time, Ivanovic and Essien also came to surround Gao Xiaodong and prevent Evra from passing the ball to him. Gao Xiaodong.

Evra had no choice but to pass the ball to his centre-back Ferdinand.

Chelsea pressed Ferdinand equally fiercely. Drogba rushed directly to grab him, and Ramires also went to grab Vidic.

Drogba was too close, and Ferdinand did not dare to take a big kick, so he could only pass it back to Van der Sar, allowing Van der Sar to take a big kick.

Van der Sar kicked the ball forward, and the ball fell to Chelsea's feet again, and Chelsea continued to attack.

Chelsea continued to attack from their left wing. Ashley Cole took the ball forward and passed it to Malouda. Malouda moved forward and Ashley Cole crossed to the front of the penalty area.

Malouda made an emergency stop and passed back, looking for Ashley who was crossing. Cole.

Nani steals forward and misses the ball, Ashley. Cole caught the ball in front of the ribs of the penalty area and volleyed.

The kick hit hard and went straight to the near corner. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar barely saved the ball, but Malouda quickly rushed from the side and followed up with a supplementary shot to push the ball to the far corner.

This time Vidic made a contribution. He kicked the ball out of the penalty area on the goal line.

Chelsea's army was pressing forward, and they got the second goal, and then launched another wave of attacks.

At this moment, Manchester United's formation is very flat, and almost all the players are concentrated in the thirty-meter area. Chelsea cannot penetrate and cooperate at the front of Manchester United's penalty area. However, Chelsea is not a team that likes to embroider near the opponent's penalty area. They mostly compete for headers after powerful long-range shots from the front of the penalty area and crosses from the wing.

In the 27th minute of the game, Lampard passed Fletcher in the middle and fired directly from 28 meters away. The ball flew straight to the left side of the goal.

Van der Sar was shot by Chelsea continuously, and his condition was brought out. He jumped and hit the ball to the sideline with both fists. Evra did not dare to be careless and kicked the ball towards the frontcourt with a big kick.

Terry hit the ball back into Manchester United's penalty area, Drogba headed the ball over, and Essien followed up with another long shot. The ball was very powerful, but it went over the crossbar.

Manchester United took a goal kick, and Van der Sar continued to pass the ball to his full-back Evra, hoping to slow down the pace of the game, but Chelsea's pressing was still tight. After Manchester United passed a few kicks in the backcourt, the ball fell again. At the feet of Chelsea.

Malouda and Ashley this time. Cole made a one-two. Ashley Cole passed the ball to the penalty area. Drogba and Vidic failed to compete for the header. The ball was pushed out by Vidic. Carrick tried to relay the header. The ball went farther, but it hit the feet of Ramirez. Ramirez passed it to Lampard. Lampard made a long shot, dunked past Carrick, and then made a cross pass to find a fast forward. The inserted African buffalo Essien.

Essien also has the ability to shoot from a long distance. Vidic did not dare to be too far away from Essien and quickly rushed over to prevent Essien from taking a long shot.

However, Essien did not take a long shot, but took the ball and forced it past Vidic towards the penalty area.

Vidic wanted to block Essien's route with the ball, but Essien was very explosive and accelerated and squeezed past Vidic.

Once Essien entered the penalty area, the consequences would be disastrous. Vidic had no choice but to reach out and grab Essien's jersey.

Essien was dragged to the ground. Referee Atkinson did not hesitate to take out a yellow card to warn Vidic and awarded a free kick.

Ferguson rubbed his temples on the sidelines. He had a headache. Chelsea occupies the home court advantage today and has a fierce offensive. If Manchester United wants to win the game, it needs to rely more on the strength of the defense. Vidic's yellow card will have a great impact on Manchester United.

Lampard and Ashley Cole stood in front of the free kick. Ascol flicked the ball and Lampard raised his foot to hit it.

The ball hit the wall and bounced out. Malouda grabbed the landing spot and tried to lob the ball into the upper left corner of the goal with a curve ball, but the ball was a little slow and was confiscated by goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Unable to control the ball in the backcourt, and with the risk of being intercepted by the opponent in the frontcourt, Van der Sar simply gave up passing the ball to the defender and went directly to the frontcourt to look for Rooney.

Although Rooney was strong, he had no advantage in competing with Chelsea defenders for a header. The ball was grabbed by David Luiz, who passed the ball to Lampard and continued to siege Manchester United's penalty area.

During this period, there was a lot of noise in the front of Manchester United's penalty area, and the ball could be lost at any time. The hearts of Manchester United fans were almost in their throats. They were very scared, because the time had just passed thirty minutes, and they were playing so passively. They wanted to hold on to a goal. Advantages are just too hard.

On-site commentator Andy Gray also said: "This is not the solution. Even if you are beaten by your opponent, you must counterattack. Without counterattack, you will definitely not be able to defend."

Of course, Manchester United will not defend in a tight formation. When they defend tenaciously, they are always looking for opportunities to counterattack. However, Chelsea's morale is high, they press too hard and return to defense too quickly. Manchester United's counterattacks always fail midway.

However, Chelsea's defense line has not been much threatened due to continuous attacks. Chelsea's defense line is slightly lax.

In the 35th minute of the game, Chelsea winger Malouda made a pass from the wing. Vidic headed the ball to the center. This time the ball was snatched by Scholes. He quickly separated the side before Essien arrived and passed it to Gao. Xiaodong.

Anelka quickly came over to press Gao Xiaodong, Essien also came over to defend, but Gao Xiaodong stood there motionless. No one knew what kind of medicine Gao Xiaodong was selling in the gourd, and they wondered why Gao Xiaodong didn't go up to catch the ball. , after being double-teamed, can you still bring the ball out?

However, when the ball reached Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong did not stop the ball and volleyed the ball directly behind the Chelsea defender.

At this time, everyone saw that Rooney had quickly inserted behind Chelsea center back Terry.

Terry and David Luiz were too late to catch up. Goalkeeper Cech quickly rushed out of the penalty area and tried to clear the ball with a header before Rooney.

However, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball very badly, with some backspin. It flew to the highest point and then slowed down. Cech rushed out, but Rooney was one step behind.

Rooney used his head to move the ball to one side, trying to bypass goalkeeper Cech, but Cech was not slow to react and moved sideways like a defender to block Rooney's shot angle.

At this time, the central defender was desperately trying to defend. Rooney had no time to get past Cech. He volleyed directly into the empty goal.

However, Rooney's volley was far different from Gao Xiaodong's. Facing the huge empty goal, the ball flew close to the goal post and flew out of the baseline.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United people, including Rooney, believed that the ball would definitely be scored. Who would have thought that the ball would fly close to the goal post and fly out of the baseline.

Rooney hugged his head in disbelief, and Manchester United fans also let out a sigh of disappointment.

The Blues fans burst into applause and shouted "Well done!"
