In the 6th minute, Zhang Kuang once again took the ball from the left. This time Bosingwa learned the lesson and did not rush forward blindly. Instead, he kept his distance and tried to block the inside route.
After Zhang Kuang stepped on the bicycle twice, he passed the ball back to Evra who was riding on the bicycle. Evra picked up the ball and passed it!
Rooney headed the ball from behind, and Hernández grabbed the ball in front of the goal, but Čech attacked and held the ball firmly.
Martin: "Manchester United's offense is very fierce. It has threatened Chelsea's goal twice in the first six minutes. Chelsea's defense looks a little confused."
Neville: "Bosingwa didn't dare to pounce on Zhang Kuang, which gave Zhang Kuang space to pass the ball. After Evra was put on, Bosingwa had to defend two at the same time and couldn't take care of them at all."
He Wei: "Zhang Kuang is too much of a threat on the left. Bosingwa is now in a dilemma: if we pounce, Zhang Kuang It can accelerate the breakthrough; if the distance is maintained, Zhang Kuang can pass the ball to Evra. This is a situation that Di Matteo's defensive plan before the game did not take into account."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Di Matteo must have considered it, but knowing and doing it are two different things. Bosingwa's speed is not good, and his positioning awareness is average. How do you ask him to guard against Zhang Kuang? He can only try not to make mistakes, but what Zhang Kuang is best at is making others make mistakes."
In the 7th minute, Giggs controlled the ball in the midfield. Chelsea's defense had retreated in place, with seven or eight people piled up in the penalty area.
Giggs looked around and then passed the ball across to Zhang Kuang on the left.
Zhang Kuang Facing Bosingwa, he made a signature move: moving the ball outward with his left foot, leaning his body, and pretending to pass down the field.
The moment Bosingwa shifted his center of gravity, Zhang Kuang suddenly buckled the ball back with his right foot and cut inward laterally along the penalty area line!
Bosingwa was shaken so much that he lost his center of gravity and managed to catch up, but he could no longer keep up.
Zhang Kuang took two steps towards the center and shot from a position 23 yards away from the goal on the left side of the top of the penalty area!
Taking advantage of this moment, Chelsea's defense had not yet been organized, so they quickly shot to see who could move faster.
His right foot hit the center of the ball hard, and the ball shot towards the goal like a cannonball, flying at high speed with a non-rotating trajectory!
Čech flew to save! His fingertips touched the ball, but the force was too great!
The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!
0:1!
"GOAL--!!!!" Manchester United Expeditionary Force's stands exploded! The red phalanx burst into earth-shattering cheers!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhang Kuang! In the 7th minute! A world-wide kick! A violent long shot! Čech touched the ball but could do nothing! How many long-range goals is this season for Zhang Kuang? I have lost count! So beautiful!"
Neville: "I just said it! Bosingwa couldn't guard against Zhang Kuang! Zhang Kuang made a crosscut too fast, and Bosingwa's center of gravity was completely thrown away. Then he calmly adjusted and started shooting.
If you give Čech a hundred chances to shoot this kind of shot, he can save it once or twice at most, but he didn't save it this time tonight.
Moreover, Chelsea's previous method of cutting off Zhang Kuang's shooting route has also failed. As long as Zhang Kuang's speed is fast enough, it is impossible to give Chelsea multiple people time to complete the defense."
Martin: "Well, you are right, it is indeed like this. After all, the defense is at multiple points and requires the cooperation of many people. As long as Zhang Kuang's speed and movement are fast enough, there will always be someone who fails to defend in place, so this gives Zhang Kuang a chance."

He Wei: "It's in! It's in! It's in! The ball is in! Zhang Kuang! In just 7 minutes, Zhang Kuang opened the scoring for Manchester United with a violent long shot! Chelsea 0-1 behind!
This is a perfect world wave, about 23 meters away from the goal. It is fast and powerful. Čech can only touch the ball when flying to save it, but it cannot prevent the goal! Director Zhang, please comment on this ball."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is so beautiful. Zhang Kuang's breakthrough cut inside is his signature move. Bosingwa knew he was going to cut inside, but he just couldn't prevent it.
Zhang Kuang's explosive power was too strong, and his shoulder-sinking fake movements were extremely wide. After Bosingwa was deceived, it was already too late to catch up.
Then came Zhang Kuang's shot. He didn't adjust at all and just took off his foot. Look at his shooting posture: the center of gravity of his body is extremely low, the supporting leg is slightly bent, the power leg is straight, the whole movement is smooth and natural, without any sense of sluggishness. This kind of technique can only be achieved after tens of thousands of trainings."
He Wei: "Čech is a world-class goalkeeper, but there is really nothing he can do about this kind of ball. Zhang Kuang's scoring efficiency is so high that he broke the deadlock in 7 minutes. Manchester United's start was perfect."
MyScore Sports Network Live Room:
"Holy shit! It's in, it's in! Seventh minute! Zhang Kuang world wave! Friends who are watching in the live broadcast room, how are you? Friends who are watching the game, please brush up! Type 'Zhang Kuang awesome' in the comment area!"
"Brother, calm down, calm down, Zhang Kuang is scoring goals like crazy, aren't you numb yet? However, this ball is really beautiful! Zhang Kuang cut inside, Bosingwa was stunned, and then he kicked off and shot, Čech couldn't do anything about it! Although I was very calm, I was a little hard-core with excitement just now."
"Haha, you're so excited that you're hard-headed? You're not very calm. You know, people who can be so excited that they're hard-core are even less calm than people like me who are so excited that they shout. They're just pretending to be calm."
"I'm just watching a game. I'm very stable just to show you. I'm calculating how many games Zhang Kuang will have next, and how much money I can make from buying lottery tickets. Hehe, I suddenly realized, what's the use of Zhang Kuang being so powerful? Are you just working for me?"
"Holy shit, brother, your idea is awesome. Letting the world's best shooter help you is such an awesome operation."
"But, brother, if you ask Zhang Kuang, who is worth hundreds of millions of euros, to work for you so that you can earn hundreds of dollars in lottery winnings, isn't this overkill?"
"Haha, I died laughing!"
"..."
Of course, there are also netizens who just like to discuss the team.
"Like, like, like!!"
"Zhang Kuang!!!"
"This ball is so powerful, Čech's hands are numb, right?"
"I am a Chelsea fan. I cried... but I also admit that the goal was beautiful."
"Bosingwa: Did I prevent myself from being lonely?"
"You scored a goal in the first seven minutes. Are you going to score four goals today?"
"Seeking Čech psychological shadow area!"
"The math question upstairs: Čech psychological shadow area = one Stamford Bridge."
"..."
After losing the ball, Chelsea stepped up its offensive.
In the 9th minute, Mata got the ball in the frontcourt. He shook off Carrick's defense and passed the ball to Ramires on the right.
Ramires accelerated to break through, passing Evra, and then knocked back to Lampard who was following!
Lampard stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area and took a long shot!!
De Gea made a flying save! The ball missed the left post!
Martin: "Lampard's long shot! It missed a little! Chelsea responded quickly! This is the charm of the Football Association Cup game, neither side is willing to give in!"
Neville: "Lampard's long shot is Chelsea's conventional weapon. De Gea predicted the ball very well and blocked the near corner in time. If Lampard's ball had been half a meter further inside, De Gea wouldn't have been able to save it."
In the 11th minute, Ashley Cole took a corner kick. Drogba beat Ferdinand with a header that missed the far post!
Martin: "Drogba's header! Almost! Manchester United's defense should be careful. Drogba's physical confrontation ability is very strong, so you can't give him too many cross opportunities."
Neville: "Although Drogba is older, his strength and jumping are still top-notch. It is very difficult for Ferdinand to defend against this kind of ball, and Vidić needs to help defend it."
In the 14th minute, Rooney stole the ball from the right and advanced with the ball. He passed Malouda, and then made a long diagonal pass to the left from the right.
Zhang Kuang came in at high speed. He took the ball on the left side of the penalty area. Faced with the attack from Bosingwa and Ramires who was returning to defense, he made a fake dunk action and shook Bosingwa away, but Ramires shoveled it from the side!
Zhang Kuang jumped a little and was not tackled, but was brought down!
Zhang Kuang was stunned for a moment. The player who can bring him down is amazing. What is his name?
Ramires?
This name seems familiar. Where have you heard it?
"Beep--!"
The whistle of Howard·Webb sounded.
Webb ran to the scene of the incident and showed Ramires a yellow card!
Martin: "Ramires tackled Zhang Kuang! The referee showed a yellow card! This was a side tackle. Did Ramires touch the ball first or the person first?
The slow motion shows that... the ball was indeed not touched. Zhang Kuang had already controlled the ball. Although Zhang Kuang had jumped up to avoid it, he was still brought down, and Ramires's action was too dangerous. I think the penalty of Webb is reasonable."
Neville: "Ramires didn't shovel the ball cleanly. His movements were indeed a bit rushed and his feet were raised relatively high. The yellow card is a bit harsh, but it makes sense."
Zhang Kuang stood up and patted the grass clippings on his legs, his expression unchanged.
He walked to the penalty spot and prepared to take the free kick on the left.
Zhang Kuang took a free kick and the ball went around the wall and hit the side netting! Čech gave it a false alarm.
Martin: "Zhang Kuang's free kick! Hit the side net! Čech didn't judge the direction at all. Fortunately, the ball missed a little!"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang's free kick is very accurate. If the ball had been lowered by five centimeters, it would have gone in."
In the 17th minute, Manchester United got a corner kick. Giggs took a corner kick on the right. Vidić fought for the top spot. The ball was pushed out of the penalty area by David·Luiz.
Zhang Kuang was waiting outside the penalty area. He stopped the ball and volleyed directly!
Cahill sacrificed himself to block the ball, and the ball hit Cahill and bounced out of the sideline!
Martin: "Zhang Kuang's volley! Cahill blocked it with his body! Cahill stomped his feet in pain, this ball was too powerful!"
Neville: "Cahill held it hard this time, but he must be in pain. How terrifying is Zhang Kuang's shooting power? Just look at Cahill's expression. His brows are wrinkled and he is walking with his arms swinging."
In the 19th minute, Manchester United's throw-in ball was intercepted by Chelsea, and then Chelsea quickly counterattacked! Ramires broke through to the frontcourt, Malouda moved forward to catch the ball, but Phil·Jones directly tackled Malouda from behind!
Webb run over and whistle!!
Yellow card!
Martin: "Phil·Jones got a yellow card! The tackle from behind was not clean, but it was not a flagrant foul. Webb's penalty was very decisive."
Neville: "Jones's tackle was unnecessary. Malouda hadn't completely controlled the ball at that time. He could have blocked the position and defended. Giving Chelsea a free kick at this position is very dangerous."
In the 22nd minute, Lampard stood in front of the penalty spot. He took a deep breath and shot a curve ball!
The ball went around the wall, but De Gea flew to save the ball!
Ramires supplementary shot!!
But the ball was cleared first by Vidić!
Martin: "De Gea! World-class save! Lampard's free kick almost went in! But Manchester United's defense also handled the second spot well, and Vidić made a timely save!"
Neville: "De Gea's prediction ability is too strong. Lampard's free kick is of high quality, but De Gea moved half a step ahead of time and firmly blocked the ball that was originally difficult to save."
Martin: "This is why a good goalkeeper is worth tens of millions of pounds. De Gea's performance tonight was very stable, which is very important for Manchester United."
In the 23rd minute, Mata took a corner kick on the right and the ball flew to the front of the penalty area!
Drogba squeezed out from the crowd, jumped up high, overwhelmed Vidić, and delivered a violent headbutt!
The ball hit the ground and bounced into the far corner of the goal!
De Gea flew to save, but the ball speed was too fast!
The ball went in!
1:1!
"GOAL--!!!!" Stamford Bridge exploded! The blue ocean burst into earth-shattering cheers! Drogba ran towards the corner flag area and made the iconic kneeling celebration! With arms spread out, like a black sculpture!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Drogba! Drogba! Equalized! Violent header from the corner kick!
Vidić was suppressed by him! This is Drogba's signature way of scoring, a powerful headbutt! Chelsea fans are completely crazy!"
Neville: "Vidić can't guard against Drogba! Drogba's power is too great. His timing, height, and header angle are all the best!
Look at the slow motion, Vidić has tried his best, but he is still suppressed by Drogba! This Drogba is simply Manchester United's nemesis, he always scores goals every time he plays against Manchester United."
Martin: "As a forward, I know how difficult it is to defend against this kind of ball. Drogba's physical fitness is so strong. He can jump so high at the age of 34. I really admire him.
Chelsea's goal came very timely. They were not knocked down by conceding the ball, but quickly equalized the score."
Neville: "Now the game is back on the same starting line! Both sides are 1-1! The atmosphere of Stamford Bridge has reached its peak again! The excitement of this game has exceeded expectations!"
He Wei: "The ball went in! Drogba! Chelsea equalized the score! 1-1! This is a typical center-style goal. The perfect combination of power, height, and angle! Drogba proved that he is still the world's top center!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball is really beautiful. Mata's corner kick landed well, and Drogba's take-off timing was just right.
He didn't take off immediately, but stuck his position first, and then waited for the ball to reach the highest point before using his force. Not everyone can do this kind of header technique."
He Wei: "Although Drogba is old, his physical condition is maintained in such good condition, which is really admirable.
Chelsea did not panic after losing the ball, but quickly organized an attack and finally equalized the score through a corner kick. This game has just begun, and the two sides are very close in strength."
MyScore live comment area:
"F*ck! Drogba! It's an equalizer! Just now I was saying that Zhang Kuang was awesome, and Drogba responded right away! This game was so exciting! Brothers, did you see Drogba's header? It felt like he jumped higher than the goal frame!"
"Drogba is really immortal. He is almost 35 years old and can still jump so high. Vidić is already a very defensive central defender, but today he couldn't stand the strength of Drogba."
"Drogba is awesome!!"
"Zhang Kuang One more!!"
"Is he an old man when he is only 34 years old? What does it mean that I am 40 years old?"
"Isn't it time to prepare for the funeral at 40?"
"Pfft, your words are so poisonous!!"
"..."
In the 29th minute, Valencia got the ball on the right. Facing Ashley Cole, he made a fake move to get away from the angle, and then made a pass!
The ball crossed the middle of the penalty area and flew backwards!
Hernández broke out from the crowd. He grabbed the spot on the right side of the small penalty area and made a sliding shovel shot!!
The ball rolled into the lower left corner of the goal!
Čech failed to save!
The ball went in!
1:2!
"GOAL--!!!!" Manchester United expeditionary force is boiling again!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOAL, Hernández! Manchester United takes the lead again! Valencia's cross accurately found the back point, and Hernández grabbed the spot and scored!
This goal was too fast, Chelsea's defense missed it before it had time to get in position! Manchester United's quick counterattack is the sharpest and fastest in the world, bar none."
Neville: "Valencia's cross is of extremely high quality, with fast ball speed, low arc, and accurate landing point. Hernández is the kind of shooter who can score goals if you give him a chance. His sense of smell in the penalty area is too keen, just like a cheetah spotting its prey."
Martin: "Chelsea's defense is now torn open, Zhang Kuang has attracted at least two to three defensive players on the left, Valencia On the right, there is enough space for crosses, so Hernández has a chance in the middle. Manchester United's tridents echo each other, and Chelsea is hard to guard against."
Neville: "1-2! Manchester United exceeded it again! There were so many goals in this game! Three goals were scored in less than half an hour! Martin, I agree with what you just said, Manchester United is the team with the fastest counterattack."
He Wei: "The ball went in! Hernández! Valencia made a pass from the right, Hernández pushed in from behind and scored! Manchester United 2-1 took the lead again!
There was a gap in Chelsea's defense: Ashley Cole failed to follow Valencia's cross, while David·Luiz was marking Zhang Kuang and failed to defend Hernández in time, resulting in a goal conceded."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this ball exposed the problem of Chelsea's defense: focusing on one thing and not the other. Manchester United has Zhang Kuang on the left and Valencia on the right. Both wings can create threats.
Chelsea's defensive resources are limited, and you can't guard the two wing and center tridents at the same time. Manchester United's tridents cooperate too well."
He Wei: "Hernández's goal is characterized by his speed, decisiveness and strong sense of smell in front of the goal. This kind of shooter can always find the right position in the penalty area and then hit the fatal blow. Manchester United is now leading 2-1, and Chelsea is facing greater pressure."
