Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

The frustrated players today were not only Ronaldo who just missed a penalty for Manchester United, but also Rooney who had only three shots so far, and the only one on target was blocked by the goalkeeper.

At the same time, Drogba of Chelsea also played very depressed. He had few chances to touch the ball throughout the game. Except for the header in the first half, he hardly appeared on camera, because the two central defenders of Manchester United took turns to closely guard him, and the other one had to provide protection from behind.

So let alone performance today, African Dehua didn’t even have many chances to touch the ball. After all, Ferdinand always went around to intercept the ball, which was so annoying!

However, when Manchester United's defense was running low on energy, Drogba got a chance to show up by chance not long after Ronaldo missed a penalty.

In the 78th minute, Joe Cole was double-teamed by three Manchester United defenders during a counterattack, and Giggs finally poked the ball away with his left foot, but it fell right into the feet of Drogba who was retreating to receive the ball.

Drogba was immediately confronted by Vidic when he received the ball with his back to the goal. Ferdinand, who had just suffered a cramp, was protecting him not far behind him.

The African Edward chose to dribble the ball horizontally and entered Hargreaves' defense area, while Malouda and Joe Cole rushed into Manchester United's penalty area from both wings;

So, worried that Ferdinand was in poor condition and that his two legs were no match for four legs, Vidic had to leave Drogba to Hargreaves to defend, and he quickly retreated to Manchester United's penalty area to complete the defense. After all, Hargreaves' defensive skills were impeccable. Although he was a little fragile, he was more ruthless than Park San-fei.

Hargreaves' first defense was very successful. Drogba dribbled the ball sideways to a position near the left wing. He was nearly 30 yards away from the goal and wanted to shoot with his left foot to vent his frustration in the game.

However, due to the interference of Hargreaves and the rainy night in Moscow, Drogba slipped and fell to the ground. He almost hit his own ball before he kicked the ball out...

But after all, African Dehua is also a decent person, oh, a nimble beast, and the moment he fell to the ground, he passed the ball to Ashley Cole who was making a forward run.

Therefore, Manchester United's defensive focus would naturally not be on Drogba lying on the grass, but on surrounding Ashley Cole who had the ball, including Li Qi who returned to defense and Hargreaves who chased the ball.

But I don't know whether Ashley Cole was smart or had a premonition that being double-teamed would not end well, so he didn't stop the ball and directly kicked it to Drogba who was just about to get up.

When Drogba stood up, the ball just reached his feet. At this time, the Beast had a rare moment when he was not marked. There was no player around him who could directly entangle him. He was right in the middle of the triangle formed by Li Qi, Hargreaves and Carrick.

So Drogba did not hesitate. He took the ball and shot a curved shot from 30 yards in front of the goal on the left side, completing the unfinished act of venting his anger!

The ball shot out from between Hargreaves and Carrick, and then drew an extremely beautiful arc, bypassing Ferdinand's block, and also bypassing Van der Sar's ten fingers that flew to the limit...

Bang! A loud noise echoed in the stadium. Drogba's powerful shot hit the left post of the goal and bounced out of the sideline.

The power of this heavy shot was so great that the audience could see the entire goal frame shaking after the ball hit the goal post...

Drogba held his head in his hands and missed the opportunity with great regret, while the Red Devils were lucky to escape.

This is the Warcraft. Give him a little space and he can cause trouble or even deliver a fatal blow.

After this goal, Manchester United continued to tighten their defense on Drogba and could not give him any more chances.

Sir Alex Ferguson also continued to make personnel adjustments, replacing Rooney, who performed poorly in this game, with Tevez.

Originally, Ronaldo, who missed the penalty, was one of the targets of Sir Alex Ferguson's substitution, but Ronaldo quickly came out of his lost mood and began to participate more actively in fighting and running. His forward breakthroughs were still the weapon for Manchester United to tear open Chelsea's iron defense.

And for the possible overtime, Sir Alex decided to keep the last substitution...

After that, the two sides entered a stalemate phase. On the one hand, the physical strength of both sides decreased rapidly on the slippery field. On the other hand, Manchester United played more cautiously after conceding a penalty. They needed to let Ronaldo regain his confidence and rhythm, and also needed to guard against another powerful shot from Drogba.

At the same time, Chelsea's iron-blooded attack was becoming less and less effective under Manchester United's strict defense, and it was even difficult to get through Manchester United's defense. So it was back to Manchester United controlling the ball and Chelsea defending and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

At the end of the game, Tevez, who came on as a substitute, was still relatively active and cooperated with Li Qi several times, but his shooting accuracy was not much better than Rooney's.

At the same time, although Ronaldo's breakthroughs were still sharp, his mentality was still affected to a certain extent. He was a bit too hasty, or it might be related to his decreased physical strength. Several of his operations near the penalty area were ridiculously off-center, and it was unclear whether he wanted to pass or shoot.

Of course, according to Li Qi's understanding of Tsundere Luo, the probability of a shot is definitely high, but the shot was a bit embarrassing and not as good as the penalty kick just now.

After Drogba's two consecutive free-kick crosses were blocked, the referee blew the whistle. The two sides tied within 90 minutes and went into overtime!

Before the extra time started, Chelsea made the first personnel adjustment, replacing Malouda, the Stamford Bridge weirdo who had disappeared for a while, with Kalou.

Chelsea, who replaced their new players, created a threat shortly after the start of extra time.

In the third minute of extra time, in the 94th minute of the game, Kalou, the little cheetah who had just come on as a substitute, received the out-of-bounds ball thrown by Ashley Cole in the frontcourt and broke through Wes Brown on the left.

It was fruitless, but he successfully sent the ball behind Li Qi who was assisting in defense, and gave it to Ashley Cole who was running forward after throwing the ball out of bounds. He took the ball and made a fried meatball to dribble past Hargreaves who came to defend.

The latter broke into the right side of Manchester United's penalty area, faced with the blockade of Ferdinand and Carrick, and decisively passed the ball back to Ballack at the top of the penalty area.

Before the ball arrived, the German captain had already drawn his bow and arrow, ready to shoot the ball from the favorite position of all midfielders!

But facing Ferdinand and Vidic who flew forward to block him, Ballack's realistic fake shot and real pass fooled everyone, and he easily knocked the ball to Lampard who sneaked into the penalty area to prepare for a follow-up shot but was unmarked.

Fortunately, Lampard was obviously deceived by Ballack's feint and was not prepared. After all, Ballack really loves to take long shots and he took seven or eight shots in this game.

So the ball was stopped behind Lampard. He could only lean on Hargreaves who was in position to defend and protect the ball and make adjustments.

But the Dunk is worthy of being England's ace midfielder. His eight-pack abs show great strength in his waist and abdomen. Before Li Qi and Vidic could double-team him, he turned 180 degrees and shot the ball.

The speed of the ball was not fast, but it was only about thirteen yards away from the goal, and the angle was extremely tricky, heading straight for the upper left corner of Manchester United's goal.

In addition, due to Hargreaves' defense, Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar's vision was blocked and he was completely unable to react immediately to Lampard's cold shot as he turned around and kicked on the spot.

Van der Sar could only turn sideways and watch this wonderful left-foot shot go straight into the far corner of the goal...

Bang! Chelsea's shot was once again ruthlessly blocked by the goal frame! Joe Cole, who was already exhausted, made a supplementary shot from the corner of the small penalty area, and the ball bounced in the air and hit it directly into the stands.

Manchester United escaped again! Tonight, the goddess of fate seems to be more on the side of the Red Devils.

In the same way, Chelsea will be punished for missing the opportunity.

On the Manchester United side, it was Li Qi who stood up again!

After all, Ronaldo just had a chance to score the winning goal with a penalty kick, but it was useless!

Therefore, to complete this final step to win the championship, you have to rely on yourself.

After all, Li Qi doesn't want to drag the battle into a penalty shootout, as shooting penalties is not his forte; and Manchester United seemed to have bad luck on penalties today, as Cech had already saved a penalty. Who knows if he will suddenly ask Saint Toldo to possess him and turn all the players here into uncrowned kings?

Li Qi was determined to end the battle in overtime. After all, just one more goal would be enough!

So to score a goal in overtime, first of all...

calm down!
