The strongest winger

Chapter 699
After scoring the goal, Aiello was very calm. He didn't run to the corner flag area to raise his arms and shout excitedly like Cristiano Ronaldo. He just turned around and faced the northeast of the field, pointing his finger at the large LCD screen.

Immediately, the score on the big screen changed from 1:0 to 1:1 as if following Ai Luo's order.

The score changed, and Ai Luo smiled and turned around again and hooked his finger towards Modric who sent him a wonderful assist, meaning to celebrate with him.

After the running-in of the first half of the season, the cooperation between Modric and Aiello can be said to be more and more tacit. They can basically pass the ball without looking at the ball, just like David Silva and David Villa in the Valencia era. Hargreaves under the shovel, single-handedly holding the ball to face goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

All thanks to Modric's scalpel-precision through balls.

About ten seconds after the goal was scored, the camera was always on Ai Luo who scored the goal, so the commentators in the live studio focused on Ai Luo.

"This is a very beautiful midfield attack. The Chelsea midfielder's continuous and fast pass in the midfield is the essence of this goal. The Croatian international Modric, who joined Chelsea in the new season, also played an important role, especially after receiving Drogba's back pass. He chose to forcefully break through the defense of Carrick and Fletcher, allowing him to directly face the entire Chelsea defense...The most important thing is the last pass. Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar, then easily breaks through the net."

The Croatian national television commentator said excitedly.

This is a high-quality midfielder from their country. Modric was able to represent Chelsea in the first season against a world-class team like Manchester United and still perform at such an outstanding level, which is enough to make him feel great honor as a commentator. Especially as the league deepens, Modric and Aiello cooperate more and more tacitly. His future must not be underestimated.

As the number of players joining the celebration increases, the on-site director will also replay the whole process of scoring in slow motion.

Zhan Jun, who sat down again, was still excited, and shouted: "Ai Luo's speed was fully reflected at this moment. He forcibly overtook Hargreaves in the blink of an eye, and then made a shovel by Hargreaves when the opponent fouled maliciously behind him.

"From this wonderful goal, we can see the tacit cooperation of several Chelsea midfielders. A series of touches made Manchester United's midfielders look like nothing. Luka Modric's escape is the finishing touch of this goal...The pass from the instep of the right foot is followed by a smart and precise pass, which makes Ai's speed perfectly reflected in this attack again. Hargreaves' speed is like a scrapped Jetta in front of him, slow..."

BBC commentator Lineker said humorously.

"Wonderful and beautiful breakthrough and pass!! Ai's acceleration is still amazing. In this world, no defender can keep up with his sprint speed. It is really amazing. Hargreaves behind him is ready for a red card, but he still doesn't let Ai stay where he is. He chases the football and easily faces Van der Sar and sends the ball into the goal. This is the omnipotent Ai we are familiar with!"

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray was equally thrilled.

Thousands of miles away in China, those fans who supported Aiello and Chelsea were as happy as children and excited, while those fans who loved Manchester United from the bottom of their hearts seemed very helpless and entangled. According to their imagination, Aiello performed well and Manchester United won the game. But judging from this situation, it seems that Chelsea has a tendency to turn defeat into victory...

……

Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney, standing in Chelsea's defensive half, looked at each other tacitly, and they could see a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. This is the omnipotent Aiello!When you hit him in the face, he will quickly pull it back...

Although Ferguson off the court was very dissatisfied with the conceded goal, he did not yell at the defense. Hargreaves was already mentally prepared for the red card and did not stop Ai Luo. What can be done about it?Rebuking Hargreaves for being too slow?

Don't be kidding, this is a natural speed!The day after tomorrow is irreparable! !

However... Fletcher and Carrick can beat and beat. The defense just now was their reckless chasing and defending Drogba, ignoring Modric who made the last pass, otherwise Modric would not have used it.

※※※

The game restarted, and Manchester United took advantage of the kick-off to quickly organize a wave of offense. They wanted to quickly overtake the score again, but Chelsea's defense players were not vegetarians, and they were very focused.

The attack also ended with Cristiano Ronaldo firing a shot and Rooney not stopping the ball and shooting straight wide of the post.

The facial expression of Mourinho standing off the field has improved significantly. In his mind, scoring a point at Old Trafford is also a good choice. It is completely acceptable to maintain a four-point lead even with one game less.

Of course...it would be even better to beat Manchester United away!

After all, the UEFA Champions League knockout round will start at the end of February, the League Cup final with Manchester United in early March, and the FA Cup. At that time... multi-line battles, it is still unknown whether they can maintain the advantage of the league. When they grasp the points, they must be sure.

Manchester United's series of competitions last season were inferior to Chelsea's, and it is inevitable that they will explode with stronger combat effectiveness this season.

Winning the game has become urgent.

Manchester United has learned from the previous loss of the ball, and the players on the field have a strong self-adjustment ability, and there is no situation where Modric can take the ball and break through calmly again, which means that Chelsea's offense is temporarily restricted.

A threatening offense has to rely on Ai Luo's personal ability again to create opportunities to score.

However, in the rest of the first half, Ai Luo's free space created a lot of opportunities, but it was a pity that they were wasted by Drogba and Modric...

Aiello himself wanted to get a chance to shoot directly, but Manchester United's defenders didn't give him such a chance at all, not even a free kick in a moderate position. It was obvious that Ferguson had targeted the game before the game.

Similarly, Chelsea's defense against Manchester United's offensive core, Cristiano Ronaldo, is also very tight, not losing to Manchester United's defense of Aiello.

With the core players on both sides of the game being restricted, the game became much more dull in an instant.

What appears in the camera is the defender's foul shot against Aiello or Cristiano Ronaldo.

This situation continued until the end of the first half.

The referee Webber blew the whistle to end the first half without even giving a second of stoppage time.

Hearing the referee's whistle, Ai Luo helplessly stomped on the football on the sole of his foot and picked it up with his toes. He hugged the football in his arms, walked towards Weber, passed the ball over, and complained about the Manchester United player's foul against him instead of giving him a card.

This can impress referee Webb and make him pay more attention to this foul in the second half.

"The police referee Weber blew the whistle to end the first half. The two sides entered the locker room 1:1. I have to say...except for two wonderful goals in the first half, the rest of the time seemed relatively boring. Both sides focused more on defense. But then again, this is normal. After all, this is the focus of the league championship.

Following the referee's whistle, Zhan Jun nodded and said.

It is worth mentioning that Aiello and Cristiano Ronaldo had a high-five and encouraging shot before the players of both sides entered the player channel.

BBC commentator Lineker said: "Before the two sides enter the locker room, the ace players of both sides are still in the mood to high-five at this time, which means that they are quite satisfied with the team's performance in the first half, but they don't know. After the game is over, the two sides are still in such a mood to high-five? Let us wait and see the second half after 15 minutes of intermission..."

After the home team players entered the locker room, their attention was on the head coach Ferguson.

In a sense, their performance was okay.

But if you look at the focus of defense, there was a fatal mistake, especially the combination of Carrick and Fletcher in the middle, which seemed too weak.

Insufficient defense.

What they didn't expect was that Ferguson didn't yell at the players who made mistakes in the first half, but expressed his lack of expectations before the game, and finally explained the tactics in the second half.

Ferguson handed over the heavy responsibility of defending Ai Luo to the Korean Park Ji-sung, because his physical fitness is the best in the team, and Koreans have always been known for their tenacious fighting spirit, so entrusting Ai Luo to him for defense should get twice the result with half the effort.

The offensive tactic is to require Cristiano Ronaldo to use his ability to grab points and insert more into the penalty area, instead of always staying outside the penalty area.

From Ferguson's understanding of Cristiano Ronaldo, the closer he is to the penalty area, the greater the threat.
