This is a real opponent!

***********
On May 2007, 5, the 4th round of the league, Manchester City VS Manchester United, Manchester Derby, Manchester Municipal Stadium.

At the end of the 90 minutes, the whole stadium erupted in boos.

This Manchester derby ended with Manchester United winning 1-0 in the away game. However, although Manchester United won, they also paid a big price. Cassano was rejected because of a conflict with Manchester City veteran Distin in the game. Carrick was sent off with a red card.

In this game, after the whistle started, the smell of gunpowder was quite strong, and the players on both sides moved more and more on the court. The referee Wilson of this game was completely unable to control the scene of the game. The game was not normal from the very beginning. on track! !
**********
The only goal of the game was scored directly by Cristiano Ronaldo from a free kick in the 16th minute of the game.

In view of the increasingly heated game scene, during the intermission, Li Rui was replaced by Solskjaer by Ferguson.If Li Rui was injured in this derby at this time, it would be an unbearable loss for Manchester United.

For Manchester City, midfielder Ireland was sent off with two yellow cards for a foul on Park Ji-sung at the beginning of the second half.

In this game, the referee Wilson on duty showed a total of 10 yellow cards and 2 red cards.From this figure, one can imagine how fierce the competition is.

***********
In the 70 minutes of the second half, Ferguson used up all the substitutions. The goal hero Cristiano Ronaldo was replaced, and the defender Vidic was also replaced.

In the post-match press conference, Ferguson expressed his anger at Manchester City's rough play, and of course Manchester City was not to be outdone. They accused referee Wilson of missing a penalty for Manchester City.

The head coaches of the two teams were extremely dissatisfied with Wilson, the referee on duty for this game. The reason for Ferguson's dissatisfaction was that veteran Scholes and Park Ji-sung both received yellow cards. With the suspension of the crucial make-up match against Chelsea in the middle of the week, coupled with Cassano who received a red card in this game and Carrick who was injured and left the field, Manchester United will also employ personnel in the game against Chelsea. It will be stretched, especially in midfield, and no one will be available.

***********
On May 2007, 5, Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home game against Manchester United.

Since Manchester United is currently 3 points ahead of second-ranked Chelsea, in this game, as long as Manchester United can beat Chelsea in an away game, Manchester United will also win the league championship one round ahead of schedule, so the English FA even brought the league championship trophy to Stanford. Qiao, intends to award the trophy directly after the game is over once Manchester United wins away.

Of course, this kind of situation is definitely something Chelsea does not want to see. In the last season, Manchester United almost took away the league championship from Chelsea. The difficulty of successfully defending the title at Stamford Bridge can be imagined.

In fact, this game is also a make-up match. The English Football Association did not expect this make-up match in advance, and it was able to immediately decide the title of the champion!
***********
"GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!! Wayne Rooney! Goal!! Goal! The game has just started and Manchester United scored in the away game!! 1:0!!!"

"Oh - this goal, Rooney is very lucky, but, anyway, this goal is counted on Rooney's head, this is a lucky, but also crucial goal, now, Chelsea stand On the edge of a cliff!!!”

This is Li Rui's long-range shot, which hit Lampard, changed direction and went out of the baseline. Manchester United's corner kick, Giggs drove the corner kick into the penalty area, Ferdinand headed the goal, and the football was pounced by Petr Cech After a bit, Terry tried to clear, but kicked Rooney in the chest, and the ball bounced back and rolled into the net.

Ferguson on the sidelines also looked very excited. The old Scottish man waved his fists with a red face. He high-fived Rooney who ran over to celebrate.

***********
This goal, and such an unexpected conceded goal, suddenly pushed Chelsea into a desperate situation, and Chelsea had to save themselves.

There is no need for Mourinho to speak, everyone knows what to do——

Except for goals!

In addition to winning this game!Chelsea has no other way!
After conceding the goal, Chelsea launched a frenzied counterattack. Their offense was like a tide, and the offensive wave after wave almost flooded Manchester United's penalty area. For a period of time, Manchester United could not breathe.

***********
Lampard first got a good chance. After receiving a pass from Robben, he cooperated with Essien to hit the wall, and then he directly kicked away about 30 meters from the goal. Shot, the football was bravely saved by Van der Sar.

Immediately afterwards, Robben took the corner kick, and Lampard grabbed it again. His header hit the crossbar hard! !Loud! !
Although there was no goal, the next action of the Chelsea team waving his arms towards the stands to encourage the atmosphere caused the Stamford Bridge to explode. All the Chelsea fans went crazy and exploded. They stamped their feet vigorously and shouted. Roar! !
************
Li Rui was watching Lampard's actions, and he had to admit that Lampard is indeed a tough guy. When Chelsea needed someone to stand up, he bravely stood up. As a midfielder, Lampard Standing up, compared to Terry as the captain, from the perspective of morale, it seems to have a greater impact.

Immediately afterwards, Essien also took a long shot. The quality of this long shot was extremely high. It almost touched the post and went out of the baseline, which shocked Van der Sar into a cold sweat.

In today's game, due to Scholes' suspension, Park Ji-sung's suspension, and Carrick's injury, Manchester United were stretched out in midfield, with Giggs, Cristiano Ronaldo, Solskjaer and Fletcher's temporary collocation, especially Solskjaer, who has been out of battle for a long time, appeared in the midfielder position, and his performance was very poor. It was difficult for Manchester United's offense to organize an effective offense. The personal ability of the players, or the tacit understanding between Li Rui, Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, three young people, can carry out some cooperation in a short distance.

***********
In the 35th minute of the game, Robben started a crazy performance. The Dutchman dribbled the ball from near the middle circle, and then Robben drove straight in. Relying on the perfect combination of speed and technology, he broke through Fletcher and Ryan Giggs successively. , and then passed Heinze on the edge of the penalty area, successfully cut inside, pretended to shoot, attracted Manchester United's defense, but passed the football to the back point, and Drogba, who had already penetrated in place, scored a powerful header. There was nothing Desa could do, the score was tied—

1:1! ! !

After scoring the goal, Drogba looked extremely crazy. He undressed and rushed to the stands in celebration, which caused a riot at Stamford Bridge. !
"Damn! This idiot!!" Mourinho waved his arms on the sidelines when he saw this scene, and cursed bitterly. No wonder he was excited. Drogba had already received a yellow card in the previous league. With the addition of this yellow card, Ivory Coast Warcraft will have to be suspended due to the accumulated yellow cards in the final game of the league. This will definitely have a great impact on Chelsea.

Although he was angry, there was nothing Mourinho could do. Things had already happened, what else could he do?To blame can only be blamed on Mourinho, who did not expect the experienced Drogba to make such a low-level mistake, and to blame Chelsea for needing this goal so much that it was too late after Drogba scored. Excited! !
***********
In the 39th minute of the game, Manchester United scored again!
This time it was Cristiano Ronaldo after a long run on the right, and then a beautiful kick to send the ball into the penalty area.

There is already a tacit understanding between Li Rui and Cristiano Ronaldo. When Cristiano Ronaldo breaks through the right, Li Rui has been cruising in the frontcourt, and his running position is very strange, ranging from offside Between being onside and not offside, this made Chelsea's defenders uncomfortable and nervous.

The commentator who commented on this game also sighed when he saw this situation, and said that Li Rui's running position this time has the demeanor of Inzaghi.

At the moment when Cristiano Ronaldo passed the ball, Li Rui broke out suddenly, broke free from Belletti's pull, rushed up to meet the football and rushed into the penalty area, then made a slight adjustment, and kicked to hit the goal.

At this moment, Terry rushed from behind Li Rui, a tackle fell to the ground, and Li Rui knocked the ball to the ground with the tackle.

***********
"Flopping!!!"

"Penalty!!!"

Chelsea fans, players and Manchester United shouted at the same time, the difference is that Chelsea shouted a flop, while Manchester United jumped up and shouted 'Penalty kick! ! '

Everyone looked at the referee Boll of this game, the England Golden Whistle who will retire after the end of this season. The penalty at this time was very decisive, and his gestures were also very firm. He shouted the whistle and pointed to the penalty kick— —

penalty! ! !

***********
Chelsea captain John Terry, who had tackled the ball just now, immediately came over to appeal to the referee Boll. Other Chelsea players also pleaded with the referee, while the Manchester United players were already celebrating happily. Cristiano Ronaldo pulled Li Rui up. The man hugged him, and the little fat Rooney rode on Li Rui's back all of a sudden, waving his arms vigorously towards the stands.

What responded to him was the cheers of the Manchester United fans, and of course the overwhelming boos of the Chelsea fans at home!

However, Li Rui knew that he didn't flop, and he didn't need to. Li Rui was about to take a shot just now, and he knew that if his kick was shot, it would be quite stretched, and there was a great possibility of scoring. , At this time, he will not think about flopping, and Li Rui has never done flopping in his career so far.

Although Terry's tackle was aimed at the football, Li Rui made a slight adjustment before shooting, which caused Terry's tackle to first hit Li Rui's left leg, and then the football. So, there is no problem with penalty kicks.

However, the referee Boll of this game dared to award a penalty kick for the home team's foul so decisively in such a crucial game, and people had to pay respect to this Mr. Golden Whistle.

***********
"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, oh - there is no doubt about the penalty kick. The first thing Terry hit was Li Rui's left leg support leg. It's definitely a penalty kick!"

"Poll's penalty is very accurate, and his penalty is also very firm. Thanks to the referee, this game is also the last Premier League game that Poll will enforce. Thank you!!"

"Who will take the penalty kick? Li Rui never takes the penalty kick in regular games. I don't know if he will change this decision now. Oh, we saw that it was Christia standing on the penalty spot. No Ronaldo! He came to take this penalty!!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo - Shot!! Towards the center! Cech dives to the right! Goal!! Brilliant shot!! 2:1!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!! Cristiano Ronaldo!! He scored the penalty created by Li Rui!! Manchester United took the lead again!"

"Chelsea played at their own home court. The luck was really not very good. First, Terry hit the football on Rooney when he made a clearance and conceded a goal. Then the captain of Chelsea fouled Li Rui and was given a penalty! This is really bad luck!"

**********
Unlucky enough indeed!
Terry looked annoyed and looked at Manchester United celebrating the goal.The first half of the game so far has been a nightmare for him.

Mourinho on the sidelines raised his fingers in displeasure, muttering something, and the commentator who captured this detail also joked, who is the 'madman' scolding?
***********
However, Mourinho's unhappiness quickly turned into ecstasy!

Arjen Robben's goal leveled the score again in stoppage time in the first half.

This is Brown's foul on Shevchenko. The referee Ball awarded a free kick. Shevchenko's free kick hit the wall and popped out. Essien hoisted the football into the penalty area and Drogba headed the ball Attacking the goal, Van der Sar threw it with a single palm, and Ferdinand cleared the football out of the penalty area.

But the football fell to Robben's feet. The Dutchman pulled the football horizontally, dodged the angle of the shot, and shot directly to the far corner. The angle of this shot was really tricky. Can touch football! !
2:2! !
Chelsea leveled again shortly after falling behind for the second time.

After scoring the goal, Robben grimaced towards the stands. In fact, this season is definitely not going well for Robben. The Dutchman was injured first, and his condition has not been able to return to the peak after the injury. This game This goal in the game is also Robben's fourth goal this season. It is conceivable that the Dutchman is depressed this season.

***********
During the intermission, the score on the scoreboard at Stamford Bridge did not change, Chelsea 2:2 Manchester United at home!

During the intermission, Ferguson criticized the lack of concentration of the players. When Drogba headed the goal, there was no one around him to defend. Although Robben's breakthrough caused Manchester United's defense Chaos, however, before the game Ferguson had specifically told Ferdinand to mark Drogba, so this kind of mistake should not have occurred.

As for Chelsea's second goal, Ferguson didn't say much. This goal is completely a manifestation of the star's personal ability. Robben's magical foot is indeed beautiful and cannot be criticized too much. Defensive player.

After criticizing his team's defence, Ferguson called for a full-court press against Chelsea in the second half.The current 2:2 draw is not unacceptable for Manchester United. If the game is tied, then in the final game of the league, Manchester United's home game against Leeds United's 'War of the Roses', Manchester United The team only needs a draw to secure the championship. What is anxious now is Chelsea. The Chelsea people will start to attack wildly in the second half of the game. Therefore, Ferguson asked the whole team to start pressing in the second half, defend first, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack tactics Still very appropriate.

Of course, if there is a chance to win this game and win the championship one round ahead of schedule, Manchester United will of course work hard to fight for it!

***********
On the other side, in the locker room of the home team at Stamford Bridge, Mourinho first praised his players. It was really not easy to equalize the score after falling behind twice, especially the two Chelsea players. Conceded goals, one is that Terry almost gave a big gift to Rooney, and the other is a penalty kick, which is very damaging to morale. Under such circumstances, the Chelsea players can equalize the score as soon as possible, of course they should be praised.

Of course, praise is not enough. Mourinho then cheered for the players and encouraged them to win the game. He even encouraged the players by saying that the team fell behind twice in the first half and equalized twice. Said it was God and was moved by Chelsea's fighting spirit, Chelsea will win.

Uh——Although this is a bit idealistic and superstitious, no Chelsea players feel that there is anything wrong with saying this from Mourinho's mouth. At least many players still believe it. Neo has this magical power to convince players!

***********
It's time to play, Mourinho is making the final mobilization——

"This season, we have three titles to go! The FA Cup, the League. The Champions League, maybe we can do a treble, maybe two, maybe one, maybe nothing, but I will say, Last season Manchester United stole the title from us, yes they did, they stole it from us!! Then, you got scolded for a season! They said you got nothing, said you this , Talk about yours!!"

"Now, there is such an opportunity, right in front of us, a chance for revenge! Yes, it is a chance for revenge! Last season, Manchester United snatched a championship from us. Now, God gives us a chance, from Manchester United Stealing three championships in my hands!! This opportunity! Maybe I will never come across it in my life! Now that there is such an opportunity, what should we do, answer me, Chelsea men?!! Answer me loudly!!!!" Murray Neo almost roared out!

"Snatch it! Snatch it!!! Snatch it away!!! - Snatch it all!!!" Chelsea players roared loudly.

boom!With a bang, Mourinho slammed his fist on the table, and then swung his hand vigorously, "So, what are you waiting for? Let's start with the league championship—the Triple Crown!!!"

"Triple Crown!!"

"Triple Crown!!"

"Triple Crown!!"

***********
Returning to the visiting team locker room at Stamford Bridge, Ferguson is also making the final mobilization!

"Last season, we snatched the league title from the Chelsea people, otherwise we would have won nothing. We won the league title, and the Chelsea people got nothing. No one will feel embarrassed about doing this." Ferguson said.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Now, God has once again placed an opportunity in front of us, three championships!! If we work hard, we will be able to snatch three championships from Chelsea! Tell me, what should you do!!"

"Snatch it! Snatch it!!! Snatch it!!! - Snatch it all!!!" Everyone shouted loudly.

"That's right! For your opponents, your enemies, what we have to do is not to crush them once, but twice, three times, and more times. Only in this way, people will think that you are a well-deserved strong! !"

"Manchester United, no one has been called a 'dynasty' for a long time, you have to believe in yourself, today's game will be the beginning of the birth of a 'dynasty'!!"

"Triple Crown!!!"

"Triple Crown!!!"

Its momentum is so powerful that it reaches the sky! ! !
