Martin·Tyler's voice almost lifted the roof of the studio. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang! Free kick directly scored!
In the stoppage time of the first half, Manchester United expanded the score to 2-0! Zhang Kuang scored twice! This ball deceived everyone! Čech was completely misled by his eyes and running direction!
The way this free kick was handled was a textbook psychological game. Zhang Kuang was performing the whole process from placing the ball to running up. He made Čech believe that he was going to hit the far corner, and then changed his footwork at the last moment!"
Neville said, "This is the top set-piece psychological game! Zhang Kuang's stance, approach, and leg swing are all pointing to the far corner.
But the moment he touched the ball, he changed his footwork and hit the near corner. Goalkeepers of Čech's level were completely deceived. You can only applaud this set-piece technique!
What I was most afraid of when I was playing football was this kind of free kicker who could perform. You can't predict it in advance, you can only rely on betting, and Zhang Kuang won the bet today."
He Wei's voice echoed in the CCTV live broadcast room, "Zhang Kuang's second goal today! The first is a violent long shot, and the second is a curved free kick. The two completely different scoring methods show the same fact. This young man is turning his talent into dominance.
Free kick is the most romantic way to score on the football field, because it requires precision, courage and imagination, and the kick just now by Zhang Kuang has these three elements at the same time.
The arc he drew with his right foot was more precise than any paintbrush, and the way he deceived Čech was better than any magician. This is not playing football, this is writing poetry on the court, a perfect combination of strength and beauty.
This is his night, and it's just begun."
Zhang Lu said, "Čech is quite depressing today. Both goals were world-wide waves. The first one was a violent long shot from 30 meters, and the second arc free kick was completely impossible to guard against. Even ten goalkeepers couldn't save this kind of ball."
Zhang Kuang now has his own way of taking free kicks. He will no longer hit the same direction with every kick like last season. He will observe the goalkeeper's position and then make different choices. This is a mature performance."
Zhang Kuang kneeled passionately after the ball hit the net, and then punched the sky several times.
Teammates ran over one after another. Although Carrick and Scholes did not join the pilgrimage, they all smiled and patted Zhang Kuang on the shoulder.
Giggs ran over and ruffled Zhang Kuang's hair. Ferdinand slowly ran over from the backcourt and applauded.
Pogba on the bench stood up and applauded vigorously, and Welbeck whistled.
The Chelsea fans in the South Stand were silent, some had their arms akimbo and some shook their heads. Terry looked at the sky expressionlessly. I wonder if he was missing his teammate Bridge's wife. Poor that child, she aborted it in order to cover up others' misunderstandings.
Čech picked up the ball from the goal, kicked it towards the center circle, then clapped his gloves without looking at anyone.
Ferguson stood up from the coaching bench, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the celebrating crowd, unable to hide the smile on his lips.
Boas stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a solemn expression. He shouted a few words into the court to signal the players to stabilize their emotions and not be affected.
Fans' comments on the MyScore platform have completely exploded.
'Red Devils Little Fatty' said, "Hahahahaha, Zhang Kuang is so awesome, Zhang Kuang is going to be the king of Old Trafford!"
"Manchester's Red" said, "Two goals and two world waves. Chelsea was beaten by Zhang Kuang alone today. Terry said before the game that he knew how to guard against Zhang Kuang. Does his face hurt now?"
"Blue Bridge Never Dies" said, "Čech is not in bad shape today, but Zhang Kuang cannot save these two goals. I admit it, but there is still a chance in the second half, and Drogba hasn't exerted his strength yet."
"Just Watch Football Without Speaking" said, "Zhang Kuang's state is too outrageous. He has scored 13 goals in five rounds of the league. If this information is placed in the game, it will be said to be cheating."
"MyScore Editor" posted a pinned message: "At the end of the first half, Manchester United led 2-0, Zhang Kuang scored two goals, and all four shots were on target. The efficiency was horrific.
MyScore rating, Zhang Kuang scored 9:8 at halftime, the highest in the game."
Atkinson blew the half-time whistle after two minutes of stoppage time in the first half.
--
In the locker room, the atmosphere at Manchester United is relaxed and focused.
Ferguson stood in front of the tactical board, the expression on his face was much more relaxed than at the beginning of the first half. He said, "Two to zero, I am very satisfied, but the game is not over yet.
Chelsea will definitely fight hard in the second half. They will replace Torres or Malouda to strengthen the attack. Carrick, you drop deeper in the second half to help the defense handle high balls.
Scholes, control the rhythm and don't follow them. Zhang Kuang, if you continue to rush at Ivanović, his mentality has collapsed. The more you rush at him, the more panic he will get."
Zhang Kuang nodded and was wiping the sweat on his face with a towel.
Ferguson shrugged and said he had nothing else to say. Everyone began to chat quietly and relax, and the physical therapists began to help the players relax their thighs.
The atmosphere in Chelsea's locker room was depressing and dull.
Boas stood in front of the tactical board, his tone still calm but with a hint of urgency. "The restriction on Zhang Kuang in the first half failed completely. This is not a problem of one person, but a loophole in the entire defensive system.
Adjusting tactics in the second half, Tuncay is ready to come on and replace Meireles. We change to 4, 3, and 3 to strengthen the attack. Kevin, please pay attention to help defend the left wing, and you can't let Zhang Kuang break down the entire defense line by himself."
Terry said, "Boss, we still have a chance. Drogba is here, and we can come back with just one ball."
Boas nodded and said, "Yes, one ball is enough, but the premise is that you can't lose the ball again. Čech, you are in good condition today, keep it up."
"..."
Boas explained in detail how each player moves, how to respond to Manchester United's attack, etc.
After a few minutes of commercials, Sky Sports's broadcast signal cut into the midfield commentary session.
Martin·Tyler and Gary·Neville are sitting in the studio, with a huge tactical screen in front of them.
Martin·Tyler said, "At halftime, Manchester United led Chelsea two to zero. Gary, what do you think of the first half?"
Neville said, "Zhang Kuang completely dominated this game. One of his two goals was a violent long shot and the other was a precise free kick. The two completely different scoring methods showed his unstoppable offensive ability.
Chelsea's defense couldn't keep up with him in terms of speed. Ivanović was passed by him at least three times, and Terry's help defense was always a beat slower.
Boas's tactics completely failed. When the high defensive line encounters a fast winger like Zhang Kuang, it will be a loss."
Martin said, "Do you think Chelsea still has a chance in the second half?"
Neville said, "There is a chance, but the premise is that Boas must adjust his tactics and can no longer press. He needs to recover the defense line and then place his hope on Drogba.
Drogba created a threat with two shots in the first half. He is Chelsea's only hope. In addition, Chelsea needs to control the foul. Lampard already has a yellow card. If he gets another card, he will be sent off."
At the same time, CCTV's halftime commentary is also in progress.
He Wei said, "Manchester United led 2-0 in the first half, and Zhang Kuang scored twice. What does Director Zhang think of this half?"
Zhang Lu said, "Manchester United played very well today. The 433 formation operated very smoothly, especially the cooperation between the front three was becoming more and more tacit.
Zhang Kuang's two goals are the ultimate display of personal ability, but more importantly, his running and passing are equally threatening. Hernández's single goal was passed by Zhang Kuang.
Chelsea has more problems here. Boas's high-post press didn't work, but Manchester United grabbed the space behind him. If we don't adjust in the second half, we may still lose the ball."
He Wei said, "Manchester United The relationship between the three attackers in the frontcourt is very harmonious."
Zhang Lu said with a smile, "The relationship between the players is good and a tacit understanding on the court is enough. Manchester United's offensive combination is Premier League's most terrifying one right now."
--
MyScore platform was not idle during the intermission either.
"Manchester's Midfield" said, "Zhang Kuang scored two goals in the half, feeling like a hat trick is already on the way."
"Blue Army Never Gives Up" said, "Boas had to change formation in the second half. 442 couldn't beat Manchester United's 433. The midfield was completely out of control."
"Football Commentator Old Li" said, "Manchester United's trident today was too scary. Zhang Kuang scored two goals. Although Rooney and Hernández did not score goals, they made great contributions. Europe couldn't find a second one with this kind of attacking firepower."
"MyScore Editor" posted a piece of midfield data. "Halftime data statistics, Manchester United shot seven times, shot five times and scored two goals, Chelsea shot four times and shot two times on goal.
The ball possession rate of Manchester United was 54%, and that of Chelsea was 46%. Zhang Kuang ran 6.2 kilometers throughout the game, and all four shots were on target."
--
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea really stepped up its offensive.
In the 48th minute, Lampard tried a long shot from outside the penalty area and the ball went over the crossbar.
In the 49th minute, Zhang Kuang took the ball from the left and cut inside to shoot. Čech flew over and saved the ball from the baseline.
In the 52nd minute, Ivanović committed a defensive foul on the wing and knocked down Evra. Atkinson was awarded a common foul without a card.
Martin: "Ivanović did not commit a big foul this time. It is reasonable for Atkinson not to play a card, but Chelsea has accumulated a lot of fouls today. If this continues, some players may get a second yellow card."
Neville said, "Chelsea's players are a little impatient now. They need to control the scale of their actions, especially since Lampard already has a yellow card. If he fouls again, it will be dangerous."
In the 58th minute, Manchester United's third goal came, which was a perfect connection between the front three.
Zhang Kuang got the ball in the midfield, Lampard came up from behind, but he passed the ball to Carrick one step ahead and sprinted forward without the ball.
Carrick directly distributes the ball to Rooney on the right without stopping.
Rooney took the ball and cut across the middle, attracting the attention of Terry and David Luiz. At the moment when Chelsea's defense line moved to the right as a whole,
Rooney pushed with his right foot, and a precise diagonal ball passed through the gap between Terry and David Luiz, and was sent to the feet of Zhang Kuang who was inserted on the left.
Zhang Kuang did not stop the ball. He pushed lightly with his left foot and passed the inverted triangle back to the center of the penalty area.
Hernández rushed to meet the ball and pushed. Čech went to the ground to save but the distance was too close. The ball went under his arm and hit the net.
The ball went in!
3:0.
Martin said, "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Hernández! Three to zero! Manchester United's perfect linkage of the frontcourt trident!"
Zhang Kuang points the ball, Rooney passes through, Zhang Kuang knocks back, and Hernández shoots, all four actions are done in one go! This is a textbook level of teamwork!
I have been commentating for so many years, but I have rarely seen the movement and passing of three offensive players reach this level of synchronization. There is an almost telepathic tacit understanding between them."
Neville said, "The movement and passing of the three people were completely synchronized. Chelsea's defense was completely out of position under the pull of Zhang Kuang and Rooney. Hernández finished calmly and decisively. The trident combination of Manchester United has evolved to the point where no verbal communication is needed. There is a natural tacit understanding between them."
Look at the timing of Rooney's pass. It happened to be when both Terry and David Luiz were looking at him. He deceived the two central defenders and then passed the Zhang Kuang line. This is the vision of a top player."
He Wei: "If you don't see it, the Yellow River water comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return. Manchester United's attack is like the torrential Yellow River water, flowing from From the initiation of Zhang Kuang to the transfer of Rooney, from the knockback of Zhang Kuang to the end of Hernández, every link is as smooth as a well-written poem.
The most beautiful thing on the football field is not the personal Hero's solo breakthrough, but the silent understanding between three people in an instant, which is a kind of spiritual resonance that transcends language.
The three of them run and pass individually, but together they are a perfect offensive machine."
Zhang Lu said, "This goal is so beautiful. The three people each run their own positions and pass the ball, but together they form a complete offensive system. Boas watched it from the sidelines and shook his head.
Hernández's movement was so smart. He knew that Zhang Kuang would definitely knock back, so he prepared his shooting posture in advance, which shows that they have practiced it countless times in daily training."
After Hernández scored, his first reaction was to run towards Zhang Kuang. He jumped up and jumped on Zhang Kuang, put his arms around Zhang Kuang's neck and shouted.
Zhang Kuang hugged him and spun around, Rooney ran over from the other side, and the three hugged each other again in front of the penalty area.
Giggs ran over to join the celebration. Carrick and Scholes also ran over one after another. A group of people formed a circle and everyone was patting each other on the back. Pogba on the bench, Welbeck, and Park Ji-sung all stood up and applauded. Ferguson stood up from the coaching bench and applauded gently again. The smile on his face was more obvious than before.
The West Stand was boiling again, with red flags surging like a sea and singing voices neat and loud.
Some people were singing the old tune "Manchester United is the champion", and some were shouting the slogan "Trident". Near the corner flag area, several Manchester United fans lit red smoke bombs. The red smoke slowly rose in the dusk. The scene was spectacular and enthusiastic.
Chelsea The Expeditionary Force stand fell into complete silence. Some people sat down, some lowered their heads, and only a few people were still applauding to cheer the team.
On the MyScore platform, Manchester United fans went crazy.
"Red Devils Dynasty" said, "Three to zero, Chelsea was completely defeated, Zhang Kuang shot two and passed, Rooney assisted, Hernández scored, everyone in the trident contributed. This is the most terrifying thing about Manchester United!"
"The sky is red in Manchester City" said, "Pogba is warming up on the sidelines, Ferguson is going to train in advance, Chelsea is out of business."
"Blue Army Never Gives Up" said, "Where's Drogba, give the ball to Drogba, we didn't get the ball much in the whole second half, what are Boas doing."
"Tactics Master" said, "Boas's tactics completely failed. The high defensive line was smashed to pieces by the speed of Zhang Kuang and Rooney. Chelsea couldn't control the ball in the midfield today."
"..."
In the 64th minute, Mata got the ball in the midfield and sent a through ball. The ball penetrated Manchester United's midfield defense and accurately found Drogba at the top of the penalty area.
Drogba held Vidić with his back, moved the ball with his left foot, rotated his body half a circle, and directly stuck Vidić to his side, freeing up space for shooting, and then shot low with his right foot.
The ball flew close to the ground towards the lower left corner of the goal. De Gea went down to save but the distance was too close. The ball passed by his fingertips and hit the inside of the side netting and bounced into the goal.
3:1!!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOAL!!! Drogba! Got a goal back for Chelsea! He scored against Manchester United for two consecutive seasons!
The Beast is indeed worthy of the title of Manchester United's nemesis! This is Drogba's third Premier League goal this season and the ninth goal he has scored against Manchester United in his career. He really knows Red Devils's defense very well."
Neville said, "Vidić was out of position this time. He was turned around by Drogba and took him away from the shooting angle. Drogba played the ball too calmly. He did not use force but chose to shoot low into the blind spot.
This is how a top center handles the situation. Vidić was fighting with Drogba throughout the game, but with just a moment of hesitation, Drogba seized the opportunity."
He Wei said, "Drogba scored a goal. That man once again broke through Manchester United's goal. You have to admire his tenacity and calmness. Even when the team was completely suppressed after falling behind 2-0, he was still able to seize the fleeting opportunity to complete the fatal blow.
Veterans never die, they just wither away, but today Drogba told everyone with this shot that his fangs are still sharp.
This is the twilight of Drogba's career, but he is still writing his own legend in the most top-notch way."
Zhang Lu said, "Drogba played the ball smartly. He knew that Vidić had a high center of gravity, so he chose a low ball and hit it from the opposite angle. De Gea saved it very quickly, but it was still a step too slow.
Vidić actually defended very hard this time, but Drogba's turn was too fast and his power was too great. In this level of confrontation, who loses and who wins is a matter of seconds."
Drogba didn't celebrate wildly after scoring a goal.
He ran towards the goal, picked up the ball from the net, held it in his arms and ran to the center circle. There was no smile on his face, only a kind of intense concentration.
When he ran past Vidić, Vidić patted him on the back, and Drogba nodded slightly without any unnecessary communication.
The bench of Chelsea was boiling. Boas rarely stood up and shook his fist in celebration. He shouted to the field to ask the players to go back and restart the ball.
The Chelsea expeditionary force in the South Stand finally had an outlet to vent their anger. They shouted the name of Drogba, and the blue flag finally started to flap.
