Football: Invincible starting from krypton gold

Chapter 190
Chelsea's tactical arrangement today surprised Ferguson. Since the start of this season, Chelsea has been playing a 4213 formation. The power of the double midfielder is indeed very powerful. Those teams that have encountered Chelsea before have encountered problems when attacking. In fact, Ferguson has been studying Chelsea's tactics for a long time and has been preparing for today's game.

Chelsea chose a strange 4123 formation today. From the formation, it seems that they are going to play offensive tactics at Old Trafford. Judging from the players' positions on the pitch, Lampard seems to have mentioned that he and Thiago formed an attacking combination with a double attacking midfielder.

There is no change in Chelsea's starting lineup. The only change is that today's starter in the forward position has become Shevchenko.

While Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu were introducing the starting lineups of both sides and the highlights of the game, the starting players of the two teams had already taken their positions, and the referee standing near the center circle was also checking his watch frequently. It seemed that Chelsea should have won the right to attack.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the referee raised his hand to the fourth official on the sidelines, and then blew the whistle to start the game.

The focus of the 12th round of the Premier League, Chelsea's away game against Manchester United officially began.

From the first minute of the game, Chelsea showed an aggressive posture at Old Trafford. Under the command of Chen Xiao and Robben, the left and right wingers launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's defense. The overall feeling was that Chelsea was about to implement crazy offensive tactics.
And Manchester United, obviously, because of Ferguson's arrangement before the game, seems to be a little uncomfortable with Chelsea's fast and aggressive wing attack, because in the previous games against Chelsea, Chelsea's opening is always so cautious.

However, judging from the situation on the field, although Manchester United's offensive preparations against Chelsea were insufficient, the defense line was indeed a very good defense line. Under Chelsea's fierce attack, Manchester United's defense never lost its position.

However, the defense can only be a passive defense. The proactive Chelsea still created some good opportunities. In the 7th minute of the game, Robben and Thiago played a beautiful offensive cooperation on the left. Robben passed the ball to Thiago.

Thiago shot from a 45-degree position in the penalty area and went straight to the far corner of the goal. In the end, it was a pity that the football bypassed the goalkeeper but hit the post and popped out of the bottom line.

Less than 5 minutes later, Chen Xiao dribbled the ball to form a breakthrough on the right. Neville suffered a big loss in the match with Chen Xiao, and was forced to break through by Chen Xiao in the most brutal way on the side.

Seeing Chen Xiao fell to the ground, Mourinho on the sidelines quit. He stood up and ran to the fourth official to protest. Fortunately, Mourinho stopped when he saw it. Before the game, he told every player that Chen Xiao must not let Chen Xiao pass the ball easily. Ferguson didn't care about the methods the players used.

However, the referee gave Keane a verbal warning and awarded a free kick to Chelsea.

Because the distance was too far beyond Chen Xiao's shooting range, several Chelsea players with good headers stood in the penalty area, ready to fight for the header.This also made Manchester United's penalty area jittery.

But no one thought that Chen Xiao passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Lampard did not know when he appeared in that position, and Chen Xiao's pass was obviously aimed at Lampard. Lampard volleyed vigorously against the football.

Manchester United goalkeeper Howard Ford reached out to hug the ball, but what happened next made the Manchester United fans, including Ferguson on the sidelines, break into a cold sweat again, because Lampard's shot was not only powerful, but also had some spin. Howard once again performed a buttery hand in front of his team's fans, and the football rolled out of his arms. Ferguson, who saw this scene, almost swallowed the chewing gum in his mouth and ran to the field immediately Bian began to yell at the court, regardless of whether Howard could hear it or not.

Fortunately, Howard's second reaction was quick, and the Chelsea players in the penalty area did not expect this. Howard fell to the ground and made another save before getting the ball.

Manchester United really deserved to be known as the dominant team in the Premier League. After the opening 15 minutes, they slowly adapted to Chelsea's attacking intensity and methods. Under the command of Ferguson on the sidelines, they strengthened the press and physical contact with Chelsea players. In particular, Manchester United's midfielder Keane showed the strength of a world-class midfielder.

The battle between the two teams in the midfield was also very intense. As time went by, the players on both sides moved more and more, so for a while, the busiest player on the field became the referee, because the whistle sounded one after another.

The game between the two sides has gone on to the 30th minute. Judging from the various statistics on the scene, the two sides have basically maintained a level state. They have both offensive and defensive, and there are some excellent opportunities.
