In the 72nd minute, Chelsea made a substitution: Sturridge replaced Malouda.
Martin: "Chelsea makes a substitution! Sturridge replaces Malouda! Di Matteo is going to strengthen the attack! Sturridge is faster than Malouda and is more suitable for breaking through on the wing. This is also Di Matteo's final struggle."
Neville: "Sturridge is a very talented young player, but he is not experienced enough. Playing with such a big score behind is a huge test for him.
I hope Sturridge can seize the opportunity to prove himself. Chelsea needs miracles now, and miracles are often created by young people."
In the 75th minute, Manchester United made a substitution: Berbatov replaced Zhang Kuang, and the score was now 4:1. The purpose of Ferguson was to allow Zhang Kuang, who was going to compete in the league against UEFA Champions League, to maintain his physical fitness and condition.
Zhang Kuang walked off the field to the applause of all Manchester United fans. Not only Manchester United's expeditionary force, but also many Chelsea fans stood up and applauded him.
He stopped, nodded slightly to the stands and raised his hands to applaud, thanking the home fans for recognizing him, and then walked off the field to high-five Berbatov and hug Ferguson.
Ferguson patted him on the shoulder. "Well done, save your energy to play in the weekend league."
Martin: "Zhang Kuang has been replaced! Ferguson is preparing for Premier League's league match four days later. Zhang Kuang's performance today was perfect: two goals, multiple threats to the goal, and complete dominance of Chelsea's left defense.
All fans are applauding him, including Chelsea fans! This is the highest respect for a great player!"
Neville: "Zhang Kuang's performance deserves these applause. He played a masterclass game in Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's defense was helpless against him. After Berbatov came on the court, Manchester United's offensive rhythm may slow down, but their defense is still solid.
To be honest, I was relieved when Zhang Kuang was replaced. As a former teammate, you will feel both awe and fear when you see such a player dominating the game on the court. Chelsea finally doesn't have to face him anymore, but it's too late."
In the 76th minute, Manchester United fouled at the top of the penalty area, and Carrick tripped Ramires.
Howard·Webb awarded a free kick.
Lampard Standing in front of the penalty spot, he took a deep breath, then took a run and shot a low ball!
The ball passed under the wall--De Gea couldn't react in time! The ball went into the lower left corner of the goal!
The ball went in!
2:4!
"GOAL--!!!!" Chelsea fans burst into cheers again! Although there is little hope, at least they got a goal back.
Martin: "GOOOOOOOOOAL, Lampard! Get a goal back! Free kick low! De Gea didn't save it! Although Chelsea is still two goals behind, this at least allowed them to save a little face!"
Neville: "Lampard's free kick was of high quality. He guessed that the wall would jump, so he deliberately hit a low ball.
De Gea's line of sight was blocked by the wall, and by the time he saw the ball, it was already too late. This is Lampard's signature way of scoring a goal.
It's 2-4! Can Chelsea still make a comeback? Theoretically, there is still a chance, but Manchester United won't give them too much space and time."
In the 78th minute, Rooney dribbled the ball in the midfield and broke through. Mikel flew over from the side and directly knocked Rooney to the ground!
Webb whistle!
Yellow card!
Martin: "Mikel got a yellow card! This was a pretty brutal foul! Rooney covered his ankle after falling to the ground, but it seemed that he was fine and stood up again. What a danger!"
Neville: "Mikel's foul was too impulsive. Rooney had teammates around him when he got the ball. There was no need for him to take such a risky tackle. If the referee was more strict, this might even be a red card."
In the 80th minute, Ramires broke through in the midfield, and Carrick pulled his jersey from behind, resulting in a tactical foul.
Webb shows a yellow card.
Martin: "Carrick also received a yellow card! This is Manchester United's second yellow card in this game. Both teams committed a lot of fouls, but Webb's penalty was fairly fair."
In the 83rd minute, Chelsea made a substitution: Torres replaced Mikel.
Chelsea fans made a commotion, Torres came on the court!
Martin: "Torres replaced Mikel! Di Matteo wasted no time! He replaced a midfielder with a forward, intending to attack with all his strength in the last few minutes!"
Neville: "Torres's condition has not been very good, but he is a world-class forward. If he can prove himself in this game, it will be a huge encouragement for Chelsea."
In the 85th minute, Torres touched the ball for the first time. He received a pass from Ramires on the right side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle.
De Gea blocked the ball with his legs!
Martin: "Torres's shot! De Gea reacted too quickly! Torres missed the opportunity to narrow the score gap!"
Neville: "Torres's shot was too urgent. If he made a slight adjustment and passed the ball back to Lampard in the middle, the chance would have been better. But he wanted to score too much."
In the 86th minute, Manchester United made a substitution: Anderson replaced Rooney.
When Rooney walked off the court, there was a smile on his face. Manchester United had already secured the victory and he didn't need to take any more risks.
Martin: "Rooney was replaced by Anderson! Ferguson began to protect his core players. There is no suspense in this game. Manchester United won the victory steadily."
In the 88th minute, Manchester United got a clearance, Anderson took a corner kick, Vidić competed for a header in the penalty area, and he and David·Luiz collided in the air!!
Luiz's knee hit the outside of Vidić's thigh, and Serbia fell to the ground in pain!
The team doctor came into the field and after examination confirmed: Vidić suffered a soft tissue contusion in his thigh, but he insisted on finishing the game.
Neville: "Vidić was injured! His thigh was hit by David·Luiz's knee. The injury was very painful. But he still decided to persist. This is the spirit of Captain Manchester United and Serbia Predator!"
The whole game has 3 minutes of added time.
The score was not changed again.
Final score: Chelsea 2-4 Manchester United!
Howard·Webb blew the whistle to end the game!!
Manchester United advances to the top four of Football Association Cup!
Martin: "Okay, the game is over! Manchester United defeated Chelsea in Stamford Bridge 4-2 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the 2011-12 season England Football Association Cup!
Zhang Kuang scored twice, Rooney and Hernández each scored a goal! This is a victory belonging to the Manchester United trident!"
Neville: "From the perspective of the game, there is no doubt that Manchester United won. Their offensive line is at least one level higher than Chelsea, especially at this point of Zhang Kuang, Chelsea's defense is completely unstoppable. Each of the four goals was a high-quality counterattack or cooperation. Chelsea did not lose unfairly.
Although Chelsea lost, they did not give up. Drogba's header, Lampard's free kick - they kept fighting. It's just that Manchester United was too strong tonight, especially Zhang Kuang, who completely dominated the left wing."
Martin: "Now Manchester United will enter the semi-finals of Football Association Cup, and their opponents will be decided in the draw later. With their current state, no one wants to meet them in the semi-finals.
Zhang Kuang scored two more goals tonight. The total number of goals scored in the league, UEFA Champions League, Football Cup, and Community Shield this season has reached 81. This number is too scary.
There are theoretically 12 games left before the end of the season. With his average goal rate of 2.59 per game, he can definitely break last season's record of 105 goals.
Of course, if you add in the number of goals he scored in Hong Kong Team, he has already surpassed last year's record. This is an amazing achievement. He has scored more than 100 goals for two consecutive seasons. It is unprecedented. No one knows when latecomers will appear."

He Wei: "The game is over! Manchester United defeated Chelsea 4-2 and advanced to the semi-finals of Football Association Cup! This was an exciting game, both sides played their own style.
Manchester United's offensive line was full of firepower, Zhang Kuang, Rooney, and Hernández all scored goals. Although Chelsea lost honorably, their defense really couldn't cope with the impact of Manchester United."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, this game fully demonstrated the power of the Manchester United trident. Zhang Kuang scored twice, Rooney scored a goal and an assist, and Hernández scored a goal.
Chelsea's defense was suppressed throughout the game. Bosingwa's poor performance in the first half was a major issue for Chelsea, but even Ivanović didn't really contain Zhang Kuang after coming on as a substitute."
He Wei: "Director Zhang, what do you think are the obstacles for Manchester United to compete for the Football Association Cup championship this season?"
Zhang Lu: "With Manchester United's current status, they are indeed a strong contender for the championship. But Football Association Cup is a single-game elimination system, and any team may be upset.
Manchester United needs to stay focused and not let down their guard just because they won a big win. However, if they continue to play like they did tonight, it will be hard for Wembley to turn them away.
Speaking of obstacles, the biggest obstacle comes from themselves. After all, they have to play too many games on three fronts, and they are all in the critical period at the end of the season, so every game is critical. Because of this, they are prone to mistakes, so they need to overcome their own difficulties..."
MyScore Sports Live Room:
"The game is over! Manchester United defeated Chelsea 4-2! Zhang Kuang scored twice! Brothers, continue to collect rice and make money easily. Follow Zhang Kuang to buy, it is so easy."
"You have made so much money by playing football lottery with Zhang Kuang, why don't you repay him? Why don't you buy more of the products he endorses? He also likes girls, how much can you contribute?"
"You can buy the endorsed products, but girls don't have them. If Zhang Kuang likes me, I can let him do it for free."
"Pfft, why are there so many rabbits in the football comment section? Aren't those who watch football all hot-blooded men?"
"Yes, when I see such a masculine man like Zhang Kuang, my blood gets hot and the ancient road warms my intestines."
"I can't stand it, I can't bear it, I'm leaving. I can't stay in this platform anymore. I'd better go to our domestic platform, which is cleaner."
"..."
Stamford Bridge News Release Hall, Di Matteo was the first to take the stage.
His face was pale, and there were heavy bags under his eyes. The continuous late nights combined with the huge pressure weighed him down like a heavy mountain and he couldn't breathe.
"We lost." He got straight to the point, "The 2-4 score hurts, but we have to accept it. Manchester United played better than us tonight, especially Zhang Kuang. He is a super player who can decide the game. Chelsea and Manchester United suffered losses at his hands in many confrontations."
Reporter: "Do you think it was Bosingwa's mistake that led to the failure?"
Di Matteo: "I don't blame Bosingwa. He is facing the best striker in the world. No matter who he replaces, the result will not be better.
We tried to cut off the passing routes from Manchester United players to Zhang Kuang, double-team, tactical fouls, and compress space, but Zhang Kuang could always find opportunities in the gaps. If you ask me how to guard against him... I really don't know."
Reporter: "Will the loss in this game affect your coaching position?"
Di Matteo: "I was originally the temporary acting coach. If the club can find someone to take over immediately, I can be freed.
To be honest, I used to look forward to being a head coach, but now I realize how difficult this position is. I have to admire my seniors, such as Mourinho, Scolari, Ancelotti, Boas, etc. They can lead the team to victory again and again in this position. They are really capable people."
Reporter: "..."
Ferguson then appeared with a smile on his face.
"This game was very exciting. We showed the qualities that a championship team should have: sharp offense and solid defense. Zhang Kuang once again proved that he is the best striker on the planet, scoring two goals and being the best player in the game."
Reporter: "When you replaced Zhang Kuang, Chelsea fans applauded him. Did you see it? What do you want to say about this?"
Ferguson: "I saw it, which shows that football sometimes transcends the boundaries of the opponent. Zhang Kuang's performance tonight deserves everyone's respect, including the opponent's fans."
Reporter: "Ferguson Sir, will you continue to coach next season? I heard that your doctor has recommended not to coach many times?"
Ferguson smiled and did not answer, "I have answered this question many times, let us focus on the game."

Zhang Kuang was surrounded by reporters in the mixed zone.
Reporter: "You scored twice and led Manchester United to the semi-finals. How do you feel now?"
Zhang Kuang wiped the sweat from his face. "It feels good. Football Association Cup is an event I have always wanted to win. Today I took an important step."
Reporter: "Did you hear the Chelsea fans applauding you?"
Zhang Kuang blinked. "Of course I heard it, and I applauded them in return. To be honest, that moment was very special."
I grew up watching Premier League and know how crazy the fans of Stamford Bridge are. Being able to get their applause... I am very grateful."
Reporter: "Your total number of goals this season has reached 81. If you include the goals of your national team, it has exceeded 100. How many goals do you expect you to score this season?"
Zhang Kuang laughed, "Who knows, I just keep going like this. Until the end of the season, I'll count as many as I can. I'm not excited about this anymore."
Reporter: "Do you think you can play Ballon d'Or in a row?"
Zhang Kuang paused for two seconds. "If it is as fair as the last one, I think it should be fine. Of course, the premise is that the league and UEFA Champions League championships must be won."
Reporter: "Do you have confidence in these two champions?"
Zhang Kuang: "Full of confidence. Of course, this requires the cooperation of my teammates, but my teammates are also very eager for these two championships."
Reporter: "..."

Lampard was interviewed before getting on the bus:
"We lost and it's hard to accept. Zhang Kuang... He is truly world class, he changes the game and as a midfielder I know how scary he is.
We did everything we could, but he always scored when he needed it most. I wish Manchester United good luck, but it was really tough for us tonight."
Reporter: "Will this defeat lead to another change in Chelsea's coaching position? Are there any other ideas in the locker room?"
Lampard was silent for a moment. "Yes, there has been a change in the leadership position? No, I think now Chelsea needs stability, not change.
The club and all the players have the same view on this issue, and Di Matteo is doing a good job. He works hard and his level is enough to cope with most of Chelsea's games."
Reporter: "It is very likely that Chelsea will not be very successful this season. Can you accept it?"
Lampard: "We hate to accept it, but Premier League nineteen teams have to accept the pain of not having a league title."
Reporter: "..."

Some interesting things actually happened after the game, such as:
Chelsea fans' 'traitor'.
At the end of the game, a fan wearing a Chelsea jersey quietly changed into a Manchester United jersey inside his jacket, which was the No. 33 jersey of Zhang Kuang.
He was spotted by a fan nearby, triggering an awkward confrontation.
Security personnel came and took him away from the stands, but before leaving, he shouted, "Long live Zhang Kuang!" which made the whole audience burst into laughter.
This matter was mainly exposed by others, otherwise it would not be a big deal. After it was exposed, it became a hot topic on the Internet.
--
After this game, major media also reported on it.
"The Times" front page. "Zhang Kuang takes the lead in destroying Chelsea, Manchester United's sword points at Wembley!"
The accompanying picture is a photo of the moment when Zhang Kuang made a header shot: he was in the air, Cahill fell behind him, and Čech failed to make a save at the far end.
The column article of "The Daily Telegraph" wrote, "Chelsea's defense line is useless in front of Manchester United's trident, Bosingwa was passed no less than ten times, Cahill was knocked away at least three times, and Čech picked up the ball from the goal four times!! This was a night of shame for Stamford Bridge."
The title of "The Guardian" is. "No. 33, 81 goals in the season, from the East to the legend."
The article reviewed the journey of Zhang Kuang from China to Manchester United, praising him as 'the greatest signing in Ferguson's career'.
The title of "Daily Mirror" is more direct. "Manchester United, victory never ends!"
"Manchester Evening News" reported the scene of Manchester United fans celebrating in the streets, "Thousands of Manchester United fans gathered in the square in the center of Manchester, singing "Song of Zhang Kuang" until early morning. A 20-year-old China boy, since he joined Manchester United, he has made the whole Manchester crazy for him."
