Chapter 153 A Fight at the Beginning

Since the final between the Red Army and the Red Devils in March 2003, the English League Cup has never attracted as much attention as it does now - Chelsea vs. Manchester United, the upstart who leads the league by 6 points challenges the former hegemon. The fame alone has firmly captured everyone's attention, not to mention the extremely rare full lineup of the two teams in "tasteless" events.

Originally, this was supposed to be a thrilling life-and-death battle, but the good expectations were likely to come to nothing. In order to get a ticket to the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff in March, both giants were on defense, waiting for the other to make mistakes and "holding" the hope of the championship.

Manchester United's starting lineup is:

Goalkeeper: Howard

Defenders: Brown, Ferdinand, Silvester, Heinze

Midfielder: Ronaldo, Keane, Scholes, Fletcher, Rooney

Forward: Dong Fangzhuo

Chelsea's starting lineup is:

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech

Defenders: Johnson, Ferreira, Terry, Gallas

Midfielder: Lampard, Makelele, Thiago

Attacking midfielders: Robben, Duff

Forward: Drogba

Compared with the first round of the game, Manchester United replaced goalkeeper Howard and left back Heinze, while Chelsea replaced goalkeeper Cech, defender Johnson and forward Drogba. At the same time, Robben, who returned from injury, replaced Joe Cole.

Ferguson can actually start Giggs and Gary Neville, who have just recovered from minor injuries.

But he still chose insurance. Although the lineup seems to be at a disadvantage compared to Chelsea, its combat effectiveness is still very strong.

Both teams are rushing to the finals. No one wants to lose the game. If either team loses, they will be eliminated. If it is a draw, Manchester United can qualify as long as they do not concede two goals, while Chelsea must score at least three goals.

Unless they want a penalty shootout...

Both sides showed restraint in the tunnel. However, Drogba had a fierce look in his eyes when he saw Dong Fangzhuo. He seemed to be still worried about what happened in the first round. However, Dong Fangzhuo's mind was not on him, but on walking in front of him. Terry in front of Drogba.

The past week has been really quiet, and there is no news about Terry and Bridge. This means that Bridge did not ask Terry for a showdown, or that Bridge does not believe that there is such a thing? Or maybe Bridge just endured it without saying a word?

Anyway, according to the normal development of the storyline, these two people should have a fight and make the headlines of the news media!

Seeing Terry standing here properly, Dong Fangzhuo felt that Bridge was not a man...

As the two sides walked out of the tunnel, the Old Trafford stadium became noisy, using their most unpleasant words to welcome the Chelsea players.

Dong Fangzhuo and the others were insulted by Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge in the first round, and now Manchester United fans will not let Chelsea players go.

The first to bear the brunt was Drogba: "African monkey!"

"Come, come, come, eat a banana! It's free."

The fans near the tunnel entrance seemed to be ready. They actually broke open a banana and dangled it next to Drogba.

Drogba's complexion is dark, so you can't tell how dark his face is, but his clear eyes are full of murderous intent, and his broad shoulders are shaking slightly. This was angry, he was clearly irritated. However, he still walked out of the court with determined steps.

As a professional player, if you can't control your emotions, going to any home court will be a big trouble. Drogba is restrained enough. Although he is angry, he wants to put his anger on the court!

"..."

At the kick-off, Rooney and Ronaldo were standing behind Dong Fangzhuo. These two people were the biggest support. Ferguson has already tasted the sweetness. These three people are the biggest support for Manchester United's offense.

However, Chelsea’s frontcourt trio is either strong or weak. The combination of Duff, Robben and Drogba has everything in terms of technique, shooting skills, height and speed...

"Judging from the formation of the head coaches of both sides, I think this will be a battle between two wingers, Robben and Ronaldo."

"Robben is a strong player with great vision. If you compare him to Ronaldo, Robben is older, so the end result is his vision and being able to deliver the right final pass. .In another two years, I am sure that Ronaldo can do the same. Ronaldo is always improving, but he is only 19 years old. Manchester United should give him more time to learn how to make the right decisions, especially The final pass. He still makes the wrong call sometimes, but he's always a constant threat to United."

Lineker believed that the difference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Robben was only in vision, especially in the last pass, but he changed the subject and fell on Dong Fangzhuo again, "Chinese Dong has been playing in several games in a row. Without scoring goals, he may be a more dangerous figure!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the referee called the game.

Manchester United, like they did against Liverpool, left a lot of space for Chelsea.

However, Chelsea did not press forward. They also hoarded troops in the midfield and backfield. It seemed that neither side dared to launch a big offensive first to avoid being attacked by the other side. This is the first time this season that both sides have become very cautious! Or is it tempting the other party to attack?

At the beginning, both sides were just kicking back and moving, and did not pick up the rhythm.

However, Chelsea still got the chance first.

Only 2 minutes into the game, Lampard made a long pass from the midfielder to Duff from the right, and then he suddenly rushed forward!

When Duff got rid of Heinze, he had actually rushed into the Manchester United penalty area.

This guy is an offensive maniac!

What's terrible is that he actually grabbed the landing point of Duff's pass. Lampard grabbed a shot with his right foot before Ferdinand from 12 yards in the middle, but unfortunately the ball missed the near corner.

Ferguson was immediately dissatisfied and shouted several times from the sidelines.

Damn it, how could Lampard be allowed to play like this! He passed the ball out in the midfield and then ran into the penalty area to grab the ball. If Lampard had scored, everyone would have been in the pig cage.

However, Ferguson didn't have time to be angry for long. When Lampard was holding his head and regretting that he missed the shot, Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack. American goalkeeper Howard immediately threw the ball to captain Keane. Keane did not pass the ball to Scholes at all. Or Rooney and Ronaldo on the wing, but directly hit the back of Chelsea's entire defense!

What is needed is firmness, decisiveness, and surprise!

Quite brave!

Dong Fangzhuo was moving like a rabbit near the midline. When Keane took a shot, he also started at the same time.

The strong muscles of his legs gave him explosive starting speed, and when he just rushed up, he immediately got rid of the nearest Ferreira, leaving only Terry.

Ferreira was definitely careless, thinking that Terry was guarding him behind him and he could not be so focused. Who knew that the ball really came to him, and Dong Fangzhuo's speed was much faster than he imagined.

boom--

Dong Fangzhuo and Terry collided solidly, and both fell down.

beep--

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

As soon as the game started, Dong Fangzhuo had sex with Terry.

Terry is not Ferreira, he can't let Dong Fangzhuo rush over, and he only needs to focus on Dong Fangzhuo throughout the game. Just when Dong Fangzhuo rushes up, he prevents Dong Fangzhuo from breaking through, so He simply collided with Dong Fangzhuo without any unnecessary movements.

If this collision can scare Dong Fangzhuo away, it is a victory.

Unexpectedly, the two people's fighting skills were evenly matched!

Farke! This guy's bones are so hard...

He lay on the turf, feeling the strong collision from Dong Fangzhuo.

Dong Fangzhuo's expression was as painful as his, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart...
