Ferguson immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted something to Vidić and Carrick, signaling to tighten the defense and not give Chelsea a second chance.
On the MyScore platform, Chelsea fans finally have an emotional outlet.
"Iron Blood of the Blue Bridge" said, "Drogba, Manchester United is an eternal nightmare! Although this goal can't change the result, it at least shows us the blood!"
"Eternal Beast" said, "We scored against Manchester United for two consecutive seasons. Drogba was born for such big scenes. It's a pity that his teammates didn't do their best today."
"Red Devils Guardian" said, "Drogba is too strong. Vidić fought with him the whole game, but in the end he seized the opportunity."
"Football Poet" said, "Drogba's goal reminds me of Hemingway's words, a person can be destroyed but cannot be defeated. Ivory Coast is the old man who cannot be defeated today."

In the 68th minute, Manchester United completed the first substitution adjustment. Park Ji-sung replaced Giggs. The purpose was to strengthen the midfield running coverage and stabilize the team's midfield control.
When Park Ji-sung came on the field, the Old Trafford fans gave him warm applause. This South Korea midfielder has a special place in the hearts of Manchester United fans.
In the 71st minute, Scholes fouled Ramires during a midfield interception, and Atkinson was shown a yellow card.
In the 72nd minute, Chelsea made a substitution adjustment, and Malouda replaced Sturridge to enhance the impact of the wing attack.
In the 76th minute, Rafael pulled Malouda's hand to block the breakthrough while defending on the wing, hindering the opponent's offensive progress. Atkinson was shown a yellow card. This foul resolved Chelsea's potential single-handedness risk in time.
In the 80th minute, Chelsea made another substitution. Torres replaced Meireles. He strengthened his ability to finish in the penalty area and launched a point-chasing offensive.
When Torres came on the stage, Old Trafford's home team fans gave sporadic boos, because this Spain golden boy has been Manchester United's opponent in the past few years.
In the 82nd minute, Zhang Kuang held the ball in the midfield to advance and organize the attack. Terry brought it down for a tactical foul and deliberately blocked Manchester United's offensive rhythm. Atkinson showed a yellow card to Terry, and Manchester United received a set kick in the frontcourt.
Zhang Kuang's free kick was blocked by Chelsea's wall this time and did not pose a threat.
In the 85th minute, Manchester United made its final substitution adjustment, with young Pogba replacing Hernández. The 18-year-old France came on as a substitute. All Manchester United fans stood up and applauded, encouraging him to get the chance to play in two consecutive league rounds.
Pogba made a clean interception in the midfield with his first touch of the ball after coming on the field. He blocked Mata from the side and passed the ball to Carrick.
Manchester United took advantage of the situation and launched a counterattack. Although the counterattack did not result in a goal, Old Trafford still received warm applause.
Martin: "Pogba! The 18-year-old youngster completed a key interception as soon as he came on the field. He handled it very confidently. He is winning the trust of Ferguson and his teammates little by little."
Neville said, "He is playing more and more time in the first team. This is a return of trust given to him by Ferguson. This child's talent is visible to the naked eye and his future is limitless."
He Wei said, "The appearance of Pogba allowed us to see the future of Manchester United. An 18-year-old young man completed the interception without fear in front of Old Trafford 75,000 people. This kind of psychological quality is the prototype of a superstar."
Zhang Lu said, "Ferguson's ability to train young people is indeed top-notch, and Pogba will definitely be able to excel under him."
In the 88th minute, Lampard tried a long-range shot, but Ferdinand flew to block it and successfully blocked the shot route. Chelsea's corner kick was resolved by De Gea.
The game entered injury time. Zhang Kuang wasted time controlling the ball in the frontcourt. Chelsea's players had lost their enthusiasm to get the ball back.
When Atkinson blew the final whistle, the eye-catching score was displayed on the big screen of Old Trafford, Manchester United three to one Chelsea.
Manchester United players high-fived and hugged each other. Zhang Kuang stood near the center circle, bent over and gasping for air. He ran 12.3 kilometers today, shot two and passed one, and was undoubtedly the best player in the game.
At this time, a tall figure walked over.
Drogba took off his blue jersey and walked naked to Zhang Kuang, handing over the jersey.
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment, then took off his red shirt and handed it over with both hands.
The two exchanged jerseys and shook hands.
Drogba patted Zhang Kuang on the shoulder and said in English with a strong French accent, "Your breakthroughs, long shots, headers, and free kicks are all very powerful. You are the real football king."
Zhang Kuang smiled and said, "That's because you didn't have the conditions of our era when you were young. If you had trained like we did when we were young, you would have been better than me."
Drogba showed a rare smile and turned towards the players' tunnel.
This scene was captured by all the cameras on the sidelines, and the fans in the West Stand applauded the two forwards.
Manchester United players went around the field to thank the fans, Zhang Kuang walked in the middle of the team, and the singing in the west stand did not stop throughout the game.
He walked along the sideline and kept waving to the stands. The fans shouted his name. Some people threw pens and notebooks down. Zhang Kuang picked them up, signed them and threw them back.
After the game, Zhang Kuang won the best of the game. After all, he scored 2 goals and passed 1 pass, which is amazing enough.
But when he was being interviewed after receiving the award, the reporter's question caught him off guard.
Reporter: "Zhang Kuang, you only scored two goals, why did your form decline? Is your opponent stronger?"
Zhang Kuang: "Ah, does scoring two goals in a game mean that your form has declined now? Is the competition so big?"
Reporter: "It is now said that you must average three goals per game this season. If you do not score three goals, your form has declined..."
Zhang Kuang interrupted the reporter, "Wait, wait a minute, who said I must average three goals per game this season? Who made it more difficult for me? Why didn't you inform me?"
Reporter: "Hey... everyone wants to know how you avoided Lampard's shovel and stepped on his foot as a counterattack? What is China Kung Fu of yours? This is not a human reaction. How did you develop such an inhuman reaction?"
Zhang Kuang: "If it is an inhuman action, how do I, a human being, do it? Is it possible that I am not a human being?"
As for how it was done, I can't explain it. It's talent, and a natural reaction. It's not China Kungfu, it's just the reaction after being tackled after practicing hard.
I have been practicing this since I was a child, because my first football teacher told me that the most important thing for a football player is to protect his feet. If his feet are injured, he will basically say goodbye to football.
Therefore, I have practiced various movements since I was a child and tried to avoid movements as much as possible after being tackled. Over time, I have developed a conditioned reflex. That's it, this is a talent."
Reporter: "..."
At the post-match press conference, Ferguson and Vidić attended.
Ferguson said with a glow on his face, "Victory always makes people feel good, especially winning in a direct conversation with a championship team like Chelsea is even better. Manchester United has been winning. Recently, the doctor said that my heart is much better."
So, you don't need to ask me how I feel, I feel very good. And you don't need to ask me how I evaluate my team and players. This is the best team in the world and the best players in the world. There is nothing better.
As for the opponents? They are very strong. Ever since the Russians took over Chelsea, they have been a strong team competing for the championship. Their tactics and players are top-notch.
They also caused some trouble for Manchester United today. For example, they scored a goal for Manchester United, but if they want to take the championship from Manchester United, they need to be stronger."
Reporter: "Sire Sir Alex, how would you rate Zhang Kuang's performance today? He only scored two goals today. Has his condition declined?"
Ferguson: "Zhang Kuang's performance? I'm at a loss for words. Two shots, one pass, and the free kick. Did you see Čech's expression?"
He's a world-class goalkeeper, but he picked the ball out of the net twice today. This kid is making history of his own.
I don't understand that he has behaved like this, are you still dissatisfied with anything? Why is his condition still slipping?"
Reporter: "Everyone says that Zhang Kuang possesses China Kung Fu, otherwise he would not have been able to dodge Lampard's tackle today and make such a fast counterattack. What do you think of this?"
Ferguson: "Wow, it's China Kung Fu again. Maybe Zhang Kuang is good at it, but I've never seen him use it or practice it.
You have to ask Zhang Kuang about this, it's useless to ask me, because in normal training we don't need players to explain whether they know China Kung Fu, nor do we require players to know China Kung Fu before they can play on the field, nor do we force players to show everyone what they know.
We only ask for one thing: football training and technical practice, tactical tasks are completed, and then the physical test is met and everything is OK."
Reporter: "Mr. Vidić, you are the captain of the team. Has Zhang Kuang ever shown anything similar to China's kung fu when the team members communicate with each other? Including the super-fast reaction he showed today, such as back-tapping the player who tackled his feet, has he shown it before?"
Vidić: "Never, at least I haven't seen it, and no team member said they have seen it."
Reporter: "..."
After Manchester United's release event ended, Boas came belatedly with Terry.
Boas sat down and started talking. "When I was the assistant coach of Chelsea, I knew how difficult it was to compete with Manchester United.
And since Zhang Kuang joined Manchester United, this Manchester United has become even more difficult to deal with, because as you can see, that China is simply not a human being. How many people in the world can easily dodge and counterattack after being tackled?
A player like this is inhuman, averaging more than two goals per game, and this season he is almost averaging three goals per game. Who can stop him?
Therefore, if you put aside his two goals and one assist, it is not necessarily Manchester United who won today. I don't want to say anything else. Chelsea performed perfectly. All tactical actions were perfectly implemented, and the players also performed to their due level."
Reporter: "So you mean Chelsea only lost to Zhang Kuang, not Manchester United?"
Boas didn't answer, just shrugged and made a 'everyone knows' expression.
Reporter: "Mr. Terry, you directly faced Zhang Kuang in defense. Do you think he is a subhuman player?"
Terry: "He does have some extraordinary abilities, such as his reaction speed, and his small body but his resistance ability is several times stronger than Drogba.
Yes, after I had a physical confrontation with him, I found that this was a bit abnormal, because under normal circumstances, a certain body type has its own resistance ability. Zhang Kuang is incredibly strong, and his speed is a bit too fast.
Including his strength, he is very big and his jump is very high. Yes, no one can surpass him in these. In this way, these extraordinary abilities are really indescribable."
Reporter: "So, you mean he is not a human being? Including the fact that he can have sex with multiple women every night, there are not many men in the world who can spend time like this for a long time, right?"
Terry: "I don't know about this. I'm just a player. I can't define anything else. I just think he is really scary in many aspects."
Reporter: "..."
After the release meeting, Martin raised his chin towards Neville during Sky Sports's program.
Martin: "Gary, Zhang Kuang's performance on the field, especially the reaction to Lampard's shovel. And the descriptions of Boas and Terry. Do you think Zhang Kuang is not a human being?"
Neville: "Ah? Not a human being? This..."
Neville was stunned for a moment.
Neville: "He is just a little stronger than ordinary people. He has done urine tests and various tests before. He has not taken any medicine, and he has not left the category of human beings.
Martin, does anyone need an excuse for losing, and this happens to be a very good excuse? If Zhang Kuang was not a human being, I am afraid it would have been discovered long ago.
And, Martin, if you were a non-human being, say Superman, would you become a football star to make money playing football? Wouldn't it be better to be a super Hero?"
Martin: "Haha... that's true. If I were a non-human being, then I... well, um, there is some humanity that I don't want to show in the show."
Neville:"Haha..."
--
After the game, the headlines from major media outlets were overwhelming.
The front page of "The Sun" is a photo of Zhang Kuang stepping on Lampard, with the title "Is this a non-human being?"
"The Guardian" released a photo of Zhang Kuang and Drogba exchanging jerseys, with the title "Blues is stabbed twice by the Oriental Blade, the Beast is unable to stop Red Devils for five consecutive victories".
The title of "Daily Mail" is "Zhang Kuang Fengshenye, Manchester United trident combined to detonate Old Trafford".
The title of "Manchester Evening News" is "Zhang Kuang conquers Chelsea with two shots and one pass, Pogba comes on as a substitute to show his talent".
The headline on the front page of "Titan Sports" is "Theatre of Dreams becomes a god, Zhang Kuang shoots two and passes one to Chelsea for class".
The title of "Sina Sports" is "Premier League Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Zhang Kuang scored two shots and one pass to assist Manchester United three to one Chelsea, personal number of goals in the season has reached 20 goals".
The title of Hupu Football's hot post is. "Zhang Kuang vs Drogba, when we exchanged jerseys after the game, I saw the replacement of old and new generations of strikers."
The title of "Marca" is "Manchester United continues to lead Premier League, Zhang Kuang's performance makes Real Madrid Barcelona wary".
The title of "Bild" is "Premier League red and blue battle was one-sided, Manchester United defeated Chelsea three to one, Zhang Kuang dominated the game with two goals".
After the battle between Manchester United and Chelsea, Manchester United started a wave of "mediocre" events, that is, games without any major highlights or attention points.
For example, in the third round of League Cup on September 20, Leeds United played against Manchester United. Zhang Kuang did not participate in this game. In the end, Owen, Park Ji-sung, and Welbeck scored, and Leeds United won the away game 3:0.
There was also the 6th round of Premier League on September 24th. Stoke City played against Manchester United. For this kind of mid-to-lower team, Zhang Kuang made a proper harvest, and finally ended up with Zhang Kuang scored 3 goals, Rooney and Berbatov each scored 1 goal, Crouch of Stoke City scored 1 goal, the final score was 1:5, Manchester United scored three points in the away game.
On September 27, in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester United faced off against Basel at home. At first, everyone thought it was an easy game to crush, but no one expected that Manchester United was almost fucked to death.
If Zhang Kuang hadn't turned the tide, the result would have been hard to say. In this game, Manchester United won 5:3 at home against Basel, Zhang Kuang 3 goals, Rooney and Hernández each scored 1 goal, and Basel's Stocker, Yarra, and Carvalho each scored 1 goal.
This game was mainly caused by Manchester United's midfielder and backfielder's desertion and underestimation of the opponent. After the game, Manchester United's midfielder and backfielder Smalling and Phil·Jones made several mistakes.
However, teammates such as Ferguson and Zhang Kuang are speaking for them, saying that it is normal for young players to make mistakes, and they hope that public opinion and fans will give them time and space to grow.
On October 1st, in the 7th round of Premier League, Manchester United played against Norwich at home. Manchester United won very safely, Zhang Kuang scored 2 goals, Ashley Young and Berbatov scored 1 goal each, and finally won Norwich 4:0 at home.
There will be 14 days of international competitions next, and China Hong Kong will also usher in the third round of the World Cup qualifiers Asia district top 20 group stage. The opponent is Iraq Team. Zhang Kuang flew back to Hong Kong early in the morning on October 2 to prepare for this important game.
Because... the points after two rounds of the Group A group stage are: China Hong Kong ranks first with 6 points, Iraq ranks second with 3 points and has a goal difference advantage, Jordan ranks third with 3 points, and China National Team ranks fourth with 0 points from two games.
This is something that all China fans never expected. After losing to China Hong Kong Team 0:4 in the first round, they lost to Iraq 0:1 in the second round. In the third round, they will face Jordan Team at home, who was tortured by Hong Kong Team., this time they vowed to score three points, but China National Team only lost 4 goals to China Hong Kong Team, while Jordan Team lost 7 goals, so in theory China National Team should beat Jordan Team by 3 goals.
This algorithm is very powerful and gives many fans confidence.
But more fans pay more attention to China Hong Kong Team's game, because China Hong Kong Team can score 9 points if he wins one more game, which is only one step away from qualifying.
"Those fans who are still calculating the theoretical qualification of China National Team, please don't forget it. For a team that has lost two consecutive games in the group stage, where do you have the confidence to calculate the possibility of qualifying? Don't you have any self-awareness?"
"Why can't it count? China Hong Kong Team can qualify, why can't we? Besides, which team in this group dares to pat its chest and say that it will completely crush the national team in terms of strength?"
"I'm dizzy. You lost two games in a row in the group stage and didn't score a single goal. How do you get the confidence to say that others don't have the ability to overwhelm you? Are you evenly matched with your opponents, or is there only a small difference in the number of goals scored?"
"Oh, don't destroy the dreams of some people. They like to climax in theoretical calculations and become hysterical after the hopes of the national team are shattered. These people are crazy."
"Fuck, upstairs, why are you peeking into my heart?"
"Haha, I also think he was right. No matter how difficult it is for the national team, as long as we calculate the theoretical qualifications, we will remain optimistic and positive enough, unless..."
"Unless, after China national football team tortures you thousands of times, you will also scold them, right? Then the next time you have a chance to qualify in theory, you will be full of confidence? How many years has it been? Still like this?"
"You don't understand, this is called China national football team abusing me a thousand times, I treat China national football team like my first love!"
"Brothers, the good days are coming. Hong Kong Team doesn't have to calculate any bullshit theoretical chances of qualifying. Instead, he can just watch Hong Kong Team push all the way and qualify. Isn't this delicious?"
"Oh... I can't let go of China national football team for a while. Isn't it bad to fall in love with someone else?"
"Still flirting? Let me ask you, is it better to have your first love or a rich goddess who combines youth, figure and beauty?"
