In the 35th minute, Lampard took the ball at the top of the penalty area. He didn't make too many adjustments and took a long shot.
The ball missed the right post slightly!
Martin: "Lampard's long shot! It missed a little! Although Chelsea did not equalize, their offensive momentum is very strong. Manchester United's defense needs to remain highly concentrated."
Neville: "Lampard ran very actively today, but he lacked the support of his teammates. Drogba was watched closely by Vidić, Mata was guarded by Carrick, and Ramires's breakthrough was also restricted. Chelsea needs more runs to tear open Manchester United's defense."
Martin: "Gary is right, there is a problem with the connection between the Chelsea offensive line and the midfield. The distance between Mata and Lampard is too far, and it is difficult for the ball to pass from their feet to the forward line."
In the 41st minute, Rooney took the ball on the right. He glanced at the penalty area and saw that Zhang Kuang was inserting into the ribs on the left, followed by Cahill.
Rooney kicked his foot diagonally, and the ball passed through the gap between David·Luiz and Cahill, and was accurately delivered to the feet of Zhang Kuang!
Zhang Kuang caught the ball with his back, he held Cahill on his shoulders and turned around forcefully!
Cahill was knocked back and took a step back. Zhang Kuang rushed into the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle!
Čech fought hard to save and hit the ball with his fingertips, but the ball still flew to the far corner!
"Pong--!" The ball hit the inside of the far post and popped out!
Zhang Kuang's reaction was faster than anyone else's. He used his explosive power to rush to the landing point first.
A diving shot to the top will quickly push the ball into the empty goal!
The ball went in!
1:3!
"GOAL--!!!!" Manchester United Expeditionary Force is completely crazy!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Zhang Kuang!! Scored twice! Follow-up shot! He converted the second chance he created into a goal!
Chelsea's defense collapsed under his impact! Three goals! Manchester United scored one trident for each person, no, Zhang Kuang scored two!"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang's turn was too strong. He used his body to shoulder Cahill, and then turned directly to shoot.
Cahill can be regarded as Premier League's very good central defender, but he lost his balance when he was hit by Zhang Kuang! This is the physical advantage of Zhang Kuang!"
Martin: "After Cahill was knocked away, he had no way to chase back. He could only watch Zhang Kuang shoot. Moreover, Zhang Kuang's sense of smell in front of the goal was too terrifying.
Čech After the save, he landed almost at the same time as the ball, and then immediately got up and headed the ball back! No top striker has this kind of reaction speed."
Neville: "3-1! Manchester United leads Stamford Bridge by two goals! The first half is about to end in a few minutes! The faces of Chelsea fans are full of despair!"
He Wei: "It's in! It's in, it's in, the ball is in, Zhang Kuang! Scored twice! His follow-up shot helped Manchester United expand the score to 3-1!
This goal was the perfect combination of Zhang Kuang's strength and his sense of touch in front of the goal. He used his body to push away Cahill, his shot from a small angle was saved by Čech, and then he shot the empty goal himself! The whole process was completed in one go!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Cahill is so pitiful. He lost his center of gravity as soon as he was hit by Zhang Kuang. To be honest, Cahill is also Premier League One of's best central defenders, but facing a forward like Zhang Kuang who can both carry and run, he really doesn't have much to do. Zhang Kuang is in great shape today, and Chelsea's defense can't stop him at all."
He Wei: "Now Manchester United leads 3-1, Chelsea is two goals behind Stamford Bridge. If this score is maintained until the end of the half, it will be a heavy blow to Chelsea. They must find a way to narrow the point difference in the remaining time, otherwise the second half will be more difficult."
Comment area of MyScore live broadcast platform:
"Scored twice! Zhang Kuang scored twice! Brothers, what did I just say? At least two! You didn't break your promise! Zhang Kuang is going to beat Chelsea to death!"
"Brother upstairs, have you ever said enough? Just two! But Zhang Kuang's goal was really personal. Hero was so personal. He pushed away the defender, shot the ball, and shot the follow-up shot all by himself!"
"Hehe, in our hometown, this is called one-stop service, an authentic Wanwan-style standardized service. The main thing is to make you happy from the moment you enter the door to before you leave.
This kind of person is doing the work of five people by himself! Look at Cahill's expression the moment he was knocked away: 'Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?' He looked confused! Hahahaha!"
"Chelsea fans are going to cry!"
"Zhang Kuang is too cruel, why can't we let him go?"
"Only two in the first half? How can we play this??"
"Oh, if I buy less, I should buy the big one. If I make less money, I can still eat meat by following Zhang Kuang. I love Zhang Kuang."
"..."
In the 44th minute, Chelsea got a corner kick and Drogba was about to grab the point. Vidić jumped up at the same time. Their arms were entangled with each other. Drogba fell to the ground and complained to the referee about Vidić's elbow attack.
The referee Webb ran over, looked at Vidić, looked at Drogba, and then gave Vidić a verbal warning but no yellow card.
In the 45th minute, Manchester United took the goal kick, Mata stole the ball, and then Mata went straight into the penalty area. Drogba stopped the ball with his back. He turned around and volleyed, and De Gea held the ball firmly!
Martin: "Drogba's turn shot! De Gea made a solid save! The first half is coming to an end, and Manchester United hopes to enter the locker room with a two-goal lead!"
1 minute of added time in the first half.
Howard·Webb blew the whistle to end the first half.
During the halftime break, the fans were busy doing their own business, and the players also returned to the locker room to rest and listen to the head coach's new tactical arrangements.
Major TV stations have also started midfield analysis after commercials.
Martin: "The first half is over! Manchester United leads Chelsea 3-1 away from home! This is a crazy first half! Seven goal opportunities, three goals, Zhang Kuang scored twice, Drogba and Hernández each scored one goal! Gary, what do you think of this first half?"
Neville: "Manchester United's Trident performed perfectly, Zhang Kuang scored two goals, Rooney made one assist, and Hernández scored one goal.
Chelsea's defense was completely torn apart. The impact of Terry's suspension was too great. Luiz and Cahill couldn't prevent the successive attacks of Zhang Kuang and Rooney.
Chelsea's problem is not just defense, their offense also lacks variety. Although Drogba scored a header, his performance at other times was not outstanding.
Mata and Lampard need to do more, otherwise the second half will be more difficult."
Martin: "Here, what adjustments do you think Ferguson will make in the second half?"
Neville: "No adjustment is needed. Manchester United's performance in the first half was already perfect. The offense was threatening and the defense was basically in place.
If Ferguson is willing, he can let Zhang Kuang continue to attack Bosingwa until Chelsea's defense line completely collapses.
It's just that Chelsea needs to be replaced. Bosingwa can't stand Zhang Kuang anymore. Ivanović's speed and body are stronger than Bosingwa. If Di Matteo still wants to win, he must make changes."
--
He Wei: "At halftime, Manchester United led Chelsea 3-1. In this game, goals were scored, and both sides played high-quality offense.
But Manchester United's attack efficiency is higher. They scored three goals out of five shots on target, while Chelsea only scored one out of four shots on target.
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Manchester United's trident is so efficient. Zhang Kuang has two goals and one assist, Hernández has one goal, and Rooney has one assist.
The cooperation of these three people is very tacit, like a precision-operated machine. There is obviously a problem with the way Chelsea defends them: it gives Zhang Kuang too much space to cut inside, and it does not restrict Rooney's passing route."
He Wei: "Director Zhang, do you think Chelsea still has a chance to come back in the second half?"
Zhang Lu: "It's hard to say a comeback, but Chelsea needs to make changes. Bosingwa must be replaced. He has completely lost confidence in front of Zhang Kuang.
Then Chelsea must strengthen the pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, and cannot let Manchester United easily pass the ball to the frontcourt. If Di Matteo can do these two things well, Chelsea still has a chance to win back the victory."
He Wei: "Okay, that's it for the halftime commentary. Let's take a short break and wait for the start of the second half!"
MyScore Sports Live Room:
"The first half is over! 3-1! Zhang Kuang scored twice! Brothers, are you still satisfied? Not satisfied? Why? Because Zhang Kuang only scored two? It doesn't matter! There is one more in the second half! A hat trick is waiting!"
"Talking to oneself has become popular in comment areas now? What is this new trend? Can I, an old man born after the 1980s, still keep up?"
"Stand aside the old people born in the 1980s. You can't understand this trend. Only the hardcore people born in the 1990s can barely keep up."
"Ah? The oldest born in the 2000s is only 12 years old, right? Is this a new trend created by them? Are you talking to yourself in the comment area?"
"Why do you, an old man born in the 1980s, have so many problems? Step aside, step aside!"
"As a person born in the 1970s, I saw an elderly person born in the 1980s being scolded and standing nearby, shivering and not knowing where to go. What should I do? I am very anxious now."
"I don't know where I am yet, so I just stay there and pretend to be dead, watching the game secretly and not talking."
"..."
In the 46th minute, the second half began.
Chelsea makes the first substitution: Ivanović replaces Bosingwa.
Martin: "Chelsea made a substitution adjustment! Ivanović replaced Bosingwa! Di Matteo finally couldn't sit still. Bosingwa's performance in the first half was so bad that he was completely unable to restrict Zhang Kuang."
Neville: "Ivanović is taller, stronger and not slower than Bosingwa. He may not be able to prevent all the moves of Zhang Kuang, but at least he will not suffer completely in physical confrontation. This is the most correct adjustment Di Matteo can make."
Manchester United also made adjustments.
Ferguson had already informed the fourth official before the game started: Valencia replaced Giggs.
Martin: "Manchester United has also made a substitution! Valencia replaced Giggs! The intention of Ferguson is obvious: to increase the attack speed on the right, and at the same time allow Rooney to appear more in the middle.
Giggs performed well today, but after all, he is 38 years old and does not have enough physical strength to play the whole game. Of course, he is also making way for the league and UEFA Champions League. No matter how important Football Association Cup is, it is not more important than the league and UEFA Champions League. Giggs is very important, so it is necessary for him to maintain appropriate physical fitness."
Neville: "This substitution is very targeted. Valencia's speed and passing ability can make Manchester United's right wing more threatening.
At the same time, Rooney can move closer to the center, forming a double forward attack with Hernández, further suppressing Chelsea's central defender."
"Beep--!"
With the referee's whistle, the second half of the game began.
Chelsea attacks from right to left, Manchester United attacks from left to right.
In the 48th minute, Ramires broke through Evra from the right and made a pass. Drogba went forward to grab the point, but the ball was cleared by Vidić first!
Martin: "At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea's offensive rhythm accelerated significantly! Ramires's breakthrough is very threatening, Manchester United's defense must be careful!"
In the 50th minute, Lampard received a pass from Mata in the midfield. He took a few steps and took a long shot 30 meters away from the goal, but the ball flew high into the stands.
Neville: "How many long-range shots did Lampard take today? The quality was not very high. He really wanted to use long-range shots to score goals, but the positioning and timing were not appropriate."
Martin: "This is the difference between average shooters and top shooters. Top shooters generally have very high conversion rates."
In the 53rd minute, Zhang Kuang received the ball on the left. Facing Ivanović, he tried to break through with speed, but Ivanović got stuck.
But Ivanović pulled Zhang Kuang's jersey from the side, making it difficult for Zhang Kuang to rush forward.
Webb's whistle sounded. Free kick.
But no cards were played.
After Zhang Kuang stood up, he patted Ivanović on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I will try harder next time."
Ivanović looked at him expressionlessly. "You talk too much."
Zhang Kuang: "Hey, he is a ruthless character who doesn't say much, right?"
Ivanović didn't answer, turned around and walked away. Because he knew he couldn't beat Zhang Kuang, otherwise he wanted to take action.
Martin: "What is Zhang Kuang saying to Ivanović? The mouth shape seems to be: 'Next time harder'? Haha, this is no longer a technical confrontation, this is a psychological warfare."
Neville: "Zhang Kuang is very good at this. He not only hits his opponents with goals on the court, but also likes to provoke them with words.
That's not a bad thing, a lot of top strikers do it. When you get the opponent out of control, they make more mistakes."
In the 55th minute, Zhang Kuang grabbed a point in the penalty area, and Cahill came up from behind. The two jumped up at the same time to compete for the header.
When he landed, Cahill's right foot stepped on Zhang Kuang's shoe, and then twisted it. Cahill fell to the ground, covering his ankle, with a painful expression.
Webb stopped the game.
The team doctor quickly entered the field and found Cahill lying on the grass with a distorted expression.
After examination, it was confirmed that his left ankle was sprained, but he could continue to play.
Martin: "Cahill sprained his ankle! Slow motion showed that he made physical contact with Zhang Kuang when he landed, then he lost his balance and sprained his left ankle. It doesn't look serious, but he needs treatment."
Neville: "Cahill was unlucky today. He was knocked away by Zhang Kuang and stepped on by Zhang Kuang. He is limping now. If I were Di Matteo, I would consider replacing him. The risk of fighting with injuries is too great."
Martin: "If Cahill insists on playing, his mobility will be affected. And Zhang Kuang likes slow central defenders the most."
Cahill stood up with the help of the team doctor, tried to walk a few steps, and then signaled to Di Matteo "I can continue."
Di Matteo hesitated for a while, but in the end there was no substitution.
In the 61st minute, Chelsea got a corner kick. Mata took a left corner kick. The ball flew to the back of the penalty area. Lampard grabbed the spot from the crowd and headed the goal!
De Gea flew to save and blocked the ball from the baseline!
Martin: "De Gea! Another great save! Lampard's header almost went in! Manchester United's goalkeeper performed so well tonight!"
Neville: "De Gea's reaction was too fast. Lampard headed the ball very tricky. The ball was heading for the far post, but De Gea made an incredible save in the air and blocked his inevitable goal."
In the 67th minute, Carrick stole the ball in the midfield. He grabbed the ball before Lampard and passed the ball to Valencia on the right.
Valencia advanced with the ball. He saw Rooney pushing forward and kicked the ball through! Rooney succeeded in countering offside!
Rooney broke into the penalty area, faced Čech, and shot into the far corner with his right foot!
The ball rolled into the lower left corner of the goal!
The ball went in!
1:4!
"GOAL--!!!!" Manchester United Expeditionary Force burst into cheers again!
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL, Rooney! Rooney scored a goal! Carrick's steal, Valencia's through ball, Rooney's anti-offside single, perfect quick counterattack! Manchester United 4-1 leads Chelsea! There is basically no suspense in the game!"
Neville: "This is the power of Manchester United's counterattack! From stealing the ball to scoring a goal, it only took less than ten seconds. Two passes tore through Chelsea's entire defense line.
Rooney's performance today was not particularly impressive, but this goal proved his value. He will always appear in key positions when he is needed."
Martin: "Chelsea's defense has completely collapsed now. They want to recover the score, so they press the formation very high, which gives Manchester United space to counterattack. In this situation, it is possible for Manchester United to score another goal."
Neville: "4-1! Zhang Kuang scored twice, Rooney and Hernández scored one goal each! Manchester United's tridents all fired! Chelsea was massacred by Manchester United in Stamford Bridge!"
He Wei: "Rooney! Manchester United's fourth goal! Carrick quickly launched a counterattack after stealing the ball, Valencia made a through pass, and Rooney scored with a single goal! Chelsea fell behind 1-4. This game seems to have lost its suspense!"
Zhang Lu: "Hey, Manchester United's quick counterattack was very beautiful. There were only three passes in the entire attack, but each time it was accurate. Chelsea's defensive players couldn't get back in time, and they could only watch Rooney face Čech alone. This kind of goal is the most demoralizing."
He Wei: "Now Manchester United leads 4-1, and there are more than 20 minutes left in the game. If Chelsea wants to make a comeback, it must score three goals in a short time, but this is an almost impossible task. Manchester United's defense is very solid, and they also have Zhang Kuang on the court, who may score another goal at any time."
MyScore Sports Live Room:
"Rooney! 4-1! Manchester United slaughtered Chelsea! Brothers, this game is basically over! Chelsea was beaten by Manchester United at home and was unable to fight back!"
"Zhang Kuang scored twice today, Rooney scored, Hernández scored, and Manchester United trident scored four goals! Chelsea's defense was completely humiliated today!"
"Chelsea can score another one? 4:1 is a bit embarrassing, but 4:2 is fine."
"If you lose, why are you afraid of being embarrassed by the score? If you lose, you lose. Why are you afraid of being more or less?"
