Chapter 155 I’ll Take This Ball!
"God, what the hell! Got attacked by Chelsea!"
"Just say you can't get too close. Chelsea people are too bad."
Seeing Manchester United's great situation, but instead of taking the lead, they fell behind. The Manchester United fans in the stands were really pissed off.
"Isn't it true that this season, one team is trying to overpower the other? Why are you so dumb today?"
They were unhappy with Chelsea's behavior.
This season Chelsea is unstoppable on the field. No matter what team they play, their 4321 formation almost always crushes their opponents to win. But today, Mourinho is very conservative, so conservative that he is not at all like Chelsea before.
Perhaps the round of games taught Mourinho a lesson, so that he became much more low-key.
Ferguson's players were in better shape during the game, but they temporarily suffered a bitter taste...
Dong Fangzhuo silently returned to the center circle.
In fact, he didn't need Terry's stimulation. Falling behind can directly ignite the flame of every fighting heart.
Dong Fangzhuo knows what failure means.
If Manchester United loses this game, it means saying goodbye to the League Cup final.
To be honest, Dong Fangzhuo doesn't really believe that Manchester United can reverse the league and win the league championship. Anyone can embrace fantasy, but he won't. He prefers to fight down-to-earth for the League Cup final.
The game had only lasted thirty minutes, and Manchester United still had plenty of time to equalize the score, but it was just very difficult.
Rooney and Ronaldo also returned to the center circle without saying a word.
Their faces were covered with sweat from hard work, showing pain and unwillingness.
In the first half hour, it seemed that everyone performed better than Chelsea, but the result was not satisfactory. It was Chelsea who scored first.
Ronaldo spat on the turf, seeming to vent his depression and dissatisfaction. Rooney's eyes were fixed on the distant Chelsea goal.
It seems that everyone is working hard to continue with Chelsea, and it is even crazier than before.
On the other side, Lampard's goal completely reassured his teammates. They were no longer anxious, no longer anxious about scoring, and no longer worried about scoring first.
When Lampard was celebrating just now, he also specifically encouraged his teammates to play more calmly.
Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, also grabbed his old player Thiago and whispered several words in his ear, asking him to give new tactical instructions to his teammates when he returned to the court.
Mourinho quickly calmed down after celebrating. He needed this victory and reached the final of the League Cup. This will be his first final after taking charge of Chelsea, and he needs to prove himself with a championship.
The situation is very good at the moment. With the lead, Manchester United must not be given a chance to equalize.
Now, it's your turn to set up your formation and wait for Manchester United to attack. Lampard, Thiago and Makelele are lying in front of the penalty area to see how you jump. Robben and Duff in the frontcourt are for counterattacks. The best tool...
He had already thought about it. Even before the game started, he had already set up every tactic. He just asked Thiago to remind the players again on the court.
He became more confident and calmer...
Conceding a goal really makes people feel very bad and anxious. At this time, half of the Manchester United players on the field are actually very young and have not experienced many big scenes. It is inevitable that their mentality will fluctuate a bit.
While Mourinho was whispering to Thiago, Ferguson was speaking to only one person.
That person can only be Keane, not even the ginger-headed Scholes.
Although there has been a lot of unhappiness with Keane this season, and there has been no progress in Keane's new contract, the two of them still have the same mind on the battlefield.
As Manchester United's midfield commander, Keane's next moves will determine the success or failure of the Manchester United team. The moods of people like Ronaldo, Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo, and even Fletcher may fluctuate greatly, but Keane will never. He must continue to manage Manchester United's midfield in an orderly manner and continue to play his role.
Keen's face was stern and he kept nodding.
This wasn't the first time Ferguson told him something. Even if Ferguson didn't say it, he knew what to do.
Manchester United is once again at a time of life and death.
Keane only slightly increased the tempo, and the battle did not reach the crazy stage at the end, but Ronaldo and Rooney obviously accelerated the tempo of the frontcourt attack, but the effect was not good. Chelsea's defense in the backcourt was still very solid. .
In fact, Chelsea's style of play has not changed, there is no forward pressure, no retreat, just like before.
In the 32nd minute, Drogba got a chance to shoot instead. After receiving a long pass from Lampard, he forced a shot 2o yards from the left and missed.
Ronaldo and Rooney looked a little crazy.
Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who fell behind in the score and once again fell into a solo fight of personal heroism. Several dribbling attempts were interrupted.
When Rooney came to support him, he didn't see Rooney, or in other words, he simply ignored Rooney.
Of course, when it was Rooney's turn, Rooney did the same, no different from him.
It looks like my head is really throbbing!
Dong Fangzhuo observed all this and tried to retreat. Helping his teammates, he also wants to wake up these two crazy partners.
In the 37th minute, Lampard fouled Cristiano Ronaldo in the backcourt. Manchester United finally got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, but the Portuguese's free kick from 28 yards on the right went straight and missed the far corner. This opportunity was Vanished.
In the 38th minute, Gallas tripped Rooney in the penalty area. The referee still refused to award a penalty kick, which caused violent boos from the Old Trafford fans. But the video showed that Rooney did intentionally dive. Anxious Rooney also started to play tricks.
In the 42nd minute, Scholes passed the ball from the center to the left side of the penalty area. Rooney got out of the way of Makelele and shot angrily, and the ball flew into the stands.
The game finally entered injury time. After Ronaldo broke through to the middle, he was brought down by Lampard again...
As the first free kick taker, Ronaldo once again stood at the penalty spot.
The penalty spot is about 25 meters away from the goal, slightly to the right, but the angle is still very good.
It looks like Ronaldo is going to get bored again.
Grass!
At this time, Dong Fangzhuo took a step forward.
"This ball, I'll do it!"
He stood in front of Ronaldo, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, his tone was unquestionable, not like a request.
Ronaldo was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Dong Fangzhuo would ask him for a free kick.
He hesitated and handed the ball to Dong Fangzhuo.
This scene is indeed surprising.
Both his teammates on the field and Queiroz and Ferguson off the field found it incredible.
"Dong came to take the penalty?"
