The strongest winger

Chapter 781 Listening to Thunder in a Silent Place

Aiello's long-range shot was of high quality, but it was a pity that Van der Sar's position was good. His body moved two steps to the left at the same time as Aiello flicked the ball to the right. Then Ailuo's powerful long-range shot went straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Van der Sar rubbed his sore right palm after rolling two laps to unload the force after landing. He also knew that the biggest reason why he was able to catch the ball was because of his good defensive positioning. Otherwise, Cristiano Ronaldo helped the team reduce the score to one goal and then expand it to two goals.

Very thrilling!

"Ai Luo's long-range shot is powerful and heavy, forcing Van der Sar to make a difficult flying sideways attack!!" He Wei shouted in the commentary: "But I have to say that this is a very wonderful long-range shot!! It is similar to Cristiano Ronaldo's previous long-range goal, but it is a little pity."

"Van der Sar's save saved Manchester United!"

"Brilliant shot, beautiful flutter!!"

"Ai sounded the alarm for Manchester United's defense with this long-range shot!"

……

After the football lifted the crossbar, countless commentators gave their comments one after another.

When the ball was not scored, Ai Luo did not show a frustrated expression, but spit it out with a mouthful of saliva.

Chelsea's subsequent offense was much stronger than before Ballack came on the field. The addition of a controlling player in the midfield made the team's offensive and defensive transitions much smoother.

Sometimes Lampard and Ballack can take turns to control the rhythm, and both of them have a strong ability to push forward, plus there is a precise long pass under their feet, which makes Manchester United have to weigh it when pressing the attack, and the threat is greatly increased!

Aiello is very free behind Drogba, and the entire midfield is his activity area.

This also puts a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense, because Aiello's activity area is very large, and too much attention to his personal marking will result in a partial situation where less is played and more is played, which will not only affect the overall operation of the team, but also lead to chaos in the team's defense.

In the end, Ferguson had no choice but to choose a zone defense. Whoever is closer will defend.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite for this, that is, no matter where Ai Luo is, there must be someone around him to mark him, and he must not be given too much free space, otherwise it will be a disaster for the entire defense line.

The two sides also slowly and gradually pay attention to the performance of the defensive end, so the score has not changed, it is still 2:1, Chelsea leads.

When the game reached No. 70 minutes, Ferguson knew it was time to increase his offensive strength. He replaced Park Ji-sung, who was average on both offense and defense, with Nani, who was strong in offense and weak in defense.

"Ferguson finally played the second card of the game. He replaced Park Ji-sung with Nani. This is a signal to strengthen the attack!"

Lineker said.

The guest Phil responded: "That's right, Nani's breakthrough ability is obviously much stronger than Park Ji-sung's, which is an obvious signal to strengthen the offense, but...he has a fatal flaw, that is, he doesn't like to participate in defense, which is why he chose to use the hard-working Park Ji-sung instead of the stronger offensive Nani in such an important Champions League final!"

※※※

Nani's play immediately had an immediate effect. Whether he was active on the left or right, he was able to use his excellent dribbling ability to bring changes to the offense and continuously created opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney.

But a few minutes later, Ashley Cole and Ivanovic both adapted to his attacking rhythm, and Manchester United's wing attack fell into a misfire again.

Ferguson glanced at the timer. The game was only in the 76th minute. He was still unwilling to make a final effort with 4 minutes left before the game.

At this time, Manchester United just launched a wave of threatening attacks.

Nani and Rooney change positions, from the right to the left.

After receiving a pass from Giggs, he directly faced Ivanovic's frontal defense.

Facing the tall and strong Ivanovic, Nani did not rush to break through with speed, but patiently showed off his excellent foot skills. However, he was disappointed that he continued to step on the bicycle without being moved.

He wants to use the change of rhythm to throw off Ivanovic's defense.

Sure enough, Ivanovic pulled out because of Nani's cross and blocked the cross.

Seeing this, Nani slammed his right foot towards the football, trying to break through from the bottom line. He believed that his fake fax dunk would definitely knock Ivanovic down.

But what he didn't expect was that Ivanovic's second reaction was very fast, the center of gravity of his body dropped rapidly, his left foot kicked towards the turf, and he shoveled out. He extended his right foot to block the football, and Nani fell forward due to inertia.

Ivanovic did not make an excited gesture to signal his innocence to the referee, because he knew that he had not fouled at all!When he fell to the ground, he threw the ball to Mikel, who was standing on the defensive right rib, and the latter passed the ball directly to Ballack after getting the ball.

At this time, Lampard and Modric run separately, and the positions are available for Ballack to pass.

Ryan Giggs robs Ballack decisively.

Naturally, Ballack would not wait for Giggs' attack, he directly passed the ball to Modric who was out of the space, and then stepped forward to meet it.

Giggs couldn't stop the car because he had rushed too hard before, so he could only watch as Barak stepped forward to meet him.

During the half-time break, Ferguson once ordered the Chelsea players to grab the ball as soon as possible when the team switched from offense to defense, and then to mark the offensive organizer Modric, so after Ballack passed the ball to Modric, Carrick rushed forward, even if he committed a foul.

Only by keeping the football in place can we ensure that the team will not lose the ball again before the score is equalized!

However, Modric, as if he had eyes behind him, sent the ball directly to Ballack, who was responding, and Carrick couldn't hold his feet because he jumped too hard, so he had to bite the bullet and continue to grab Ballack.
And Cristiano Ronaldo is also ready to assist Carrick to press Ballack.

It's just that Ballack has no intention of holding the ball to organize an attack. He knows that he is getting older now, and although he is conscious, the frequency and speed of touching the ball are slow. He immediately passed the ball back to Modric who had flashed past Carrick.

Mourinho was very satisfied with the continuous passing of the backcourt. This is one of the effects of his replacement of Ballack. One more midfielder can revitalize the entire midfielder and backcourt. Facing Manchester United's aggressive frontcourt, he can play consecutive "two over two" and gain more space.

※※※

"Wonderful two in a row!"

With Clive Walker shouting, Modric took the ball and turned around in one go.

This also directly made it difficult for Fletcher, the last barrier in the midfield, to choose. He didn't know whether to turn around to find Ai Luo or go up to grab Modric.

Of course, what he is most worried about is that Modric will easily dodge his attack. At that time, Chelsea's offensive line will directly face Manchester United's entire defense line.

Thinking of this, Fletcher didn't wait for Modric to come, and turned to look for Ai Luo.

However, at this moment, Modric found Aiello with a long pass nearly 20 meters on the ground.

O'Shea, who was standing on the right side of the center circle, quickly stuck up to Ai Luo to prevent him from turning around with the ball, but Ai Luo had no intention of turning around with the ball at all, and he stepped on the football with his back against O'Shea.

Fletcher's distance is getting closer, he is waiting for support! !
Drogba was so restricted by Rio Ferdinand and Vidic that he couldn't cooperate with Aiello at all.

If Aiello tries to break through easily, then Manchester United will use a foul to stop the attack, which is not advisable.

Just when Fletcher was still five meters away, Aiello supported O'Shea with his left elbow, and with the thrust between them, he dodged the angle and passed the ball to Modric who was forward.

Fletcher originally wanted to defend Aiello, but this time he had to turn around to defend Modric, because he had already entered his own half, and it would be very dangerous for the opponent's core players to control the ball without marking.

Especially Modric has a powerful long shot that doesn't match his figure!

The advance of Drogba and Aiello stretched Manchester United's overall defense to 30 meters, but Modric, who was holding the ball, hesitated a little. Both Aiello and Drogba were close, and passing the ball was not a good choice.

At this time, Ballack, who had not played for a long time, actively stepped forward to participate in the assist, and Modric passed the ball without hesitation.

But this also means that Chelsea's fast break is stillborn.

This scene also made Ferguson on the sidelines heave a sigh of relief.

The Chelsea fans in the stands thought that the team would pose enough threats in this counterattack. Even if they couldn't score a goal, they would at least form a shot, right?But the result was disappointing...

The loud shouts that erupted also subsided instantly, like a deflated ball.

Ballack made a long pass without stopping the ball to find Drogba, who was parallel to the last Manchester United defender Vidic. Drogba relied on his strong body to get stuck in the running position, and then pressed Vidic at the top of the penalty area to return the ball to the top.

Drogba's return to the top coincides with Aiello's forward line. O'Shea is two shots slower due to space, and another central defender, Rio Ferdinand, defends frontally.

O'Shea and Rio Ferdinand are ready to make dumplings!

The pressure followed!

However, Ai Luo's brain suddenly had a flash of light, and he quickened his pace, stabbed his left foot fiercely under the football's landing point, and then swung his foot directly towards the football.

"Boom-!!!"

A muffled rumble sounded particularly crisp at the Olympic Stadium in Rome, just like a sudden burst of thunder in a quiet field, attracting attention!
