Football King Bale

After scoring the first goal, Manchester United took the initiative to attack, but at the same time, whether it was Sneijder who advanced or Carrick who trailed behind, they firmly guarded the center.

The two full-backs Phil Jones and Evra did not dare to press too much. They mainly focused on defense and would only choose to move forward when the defense was worry-free.

In the frontcourt, Bell contained Bosingwa and Bertrand, and Nani attacked Chelsea's right wing with all his strength, not only suppressing Ashley Cole, but also frequently creating threats on the court. After all, the 31-year-old Ashley Cole has passed his prime. Facing Nani who is in good form, it is very difficult to defend.

This makes Chelsea's entire situation on the field very embarrassing, even embarrassing. The offensive line that the Blues relied on, Mata didn't have a shot, Drogba had a long shot, Kalou was invisible for the entire first half, and there was only a rookie Bertrand, but because of the existence of Bale, he had to put it aside. He focused on defense and had no intention of participating in offense.

It can be said that Manchester United's tactics were very successful throughout the first half. Chelsea could only parry but had no room to fight back. It was difficult for the offense to pass through the midfield. On the other hand, Manchester United frequently created threats.

In addition to the lightning goal in the opening, Bell also dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside, transferred his right foot and passed diagonally behind him.

Because Bell completely suppressed Chelsea's entire right wing, Evra was liberated. He quickly inserted behind Bosingwa and passed into the penalty area. Unfortunately, Sneijder's back shot missed and did not cause any damage to Chelsea. Too big a threat.

Then Bell sent a wonderful pass from the left and passed it to the back point. Nani followed up and hit the goal directly, but still missed.

The most threatening attack in the game occurred in the 21st minute. Nani sent a precise cross from the right, which fell to the back point. Bell fired a low shot with his left foot from 10 meters on the left side of the penalty area. Cech, who celebrates his 30th birthday this Sunday, was blocked by Gary Cahill and hit the goalpost with one shot.

Bell's shot again shocked Chelsea to the point where they were dripping with cold sweat. Their goal was almost breached again.

When the game reached thirty-two minutes, Bell once again created murderous intent. He suddenly rushed to the right and received a pass from Sneijder. However, his left-footed shot failed to completely widen the angle and was firmly held by Cech.

In the 34th minute, Manchester United once again created a murderous opportunity. Nani's breakthrough on the right caused a foul by the Chelsea defender, and Manchester United received a free kick 26 meters away from the goal. Bell came to take the free kick. He kicked a good quality elevator kick, but after the ball passed over Chelsea's tall wall, there was not enough room to fall, and eventually it missed the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

The first half of the game,

Manchester United relied on Bell's opening raid to lead Chelsea 1:0 into the halftime break.

It can be said that throughout the first half, Manchester United had all the advantages. Including ball possession rate and number of passes, Manchester United was ahead of Chelsea in almost all offensive statistics, and the number of shots was far ahead.

………………

In the second half of the game, Manchester United continued to attack with all their strength and continued to threaten Chelsea's goal. For a moment, Chelsea's defense looked shaky.

In fact, United almost took a two-goal lead.

In the 54th minute, Bell dribbled the ball from the left. After cutting inside, his shot from the center was blocked by Ashley Cole. Nani shot again from close range and sent the ball into Chelsea, but the linesman raised the flag. Nani had already been in an offside position and the goal was invalid.

In the 56th minute, Sneijder's long shot missed the baseline.

In the 59th minute, Bell's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Ashley Cole.

As Manchester United's advantage on the field becomes more and more obvious, people feel that this game has been won by Manchester United and they are about to usher in the second goal.

But in this situation where they had all the advantages and everyone thought that Manchester United should be able to score again soon, Chelsea equalized the score.

In the 61st minute, Chelsea launched a quick counterattack. Ashley Cole dribbled the ball from the left and was shoveled out of bounds by Carrick. After Chelsea threw the out-of-bounds ball, they reorganized their attack and sent the ball into the penalty area. Ferdinand headed the ball first to clear the ball, but Lampard got the ball first at the top of the penalty area. Sneijder committed a foul while defending.

Mata took the free kick, and Drogba headed in from 7 meters away from the edge of the small penalty area. Although De Gea touched the ball, the ball still got into the net. Chelsea tied the score 1:1, and the Cote d'Ivoire Warcraft became the winner. Following Majer in 1987 and Barcelona's Eto'o in 2009, he is the third African player to score in the Champions League final.

………………

While the Chelsea people celebrated the goal crazily, the Manchester United players were greatly shocked and very depressed.

It is absolutely unacceptable to be equalized by your opponent when you have the advantage.

But it just happened. Besides angrily saying that Chelsea was so lucky, what else could the Manchester United players say?

Bell stood with his arms crossed in front of the penalty area, panting and sweating profusely.

Because Manchester United adopts a pressing tactic, which consumes a lot of physical energy. Especially now that the game has been played for more than an hour, although some physical fitness was restored during the halftime break, it was a drop in the bucket.

Bell also discovered that something was wrong with the mood of his teammates. As the captain on the field, he had to take action.

Bell believes that what the team needs most now is not mobilization, but affirmation. In the first hour of this game, the team played very well. As long as they continue to maintain the pressure, there will definitely be a chance. But the key is to be patient, don't rush, continue to play the way you did after taking the lead in the first half, and sooner or later you will be able to score again. But if you are anxious, you will give Chelsea a chance.

Bell waved to his teammates and said: "Everyone, come here, we have more important things to deal with."

After hearing Bell's words, Manchester United players gathered around him.

Bell said: "Our style of play before was very successful. We completely suppressed Chelsea. In the next game, we must continue to make good use of the space behind the opponent's defensive players and take advantage of our quick counterattack."

Manchester United players all nodded.

Bell added: "We were unlucky for conceding the goal just now, but that is over. 1:1 is nothing to us. We have a chance to score again. You did a very good job. Continue to create opportunities. We I will definitely be able to score again.”

………………

The game resumed soon after the referee's intervention. Under the leadership of Bale, Manchester United continued to actively attack Chelsea, but they were never able to find an effective way to break through Chelsea's goal.

Bell was closely guarded by Bertrand and Bosingwa in the frontcourt. Di Matteo even seemed to be willing to use two players to lock Bell, while Rooney, Nani and Sneijder frequently missed good opportunities. It makes Chelsea feel that this tactic of exchanging money is very cost-effective.

Manchester United adopted high-pressure tactics, and Chelsea's offensive players fell into Manchester United's offside trap many times. In addition to the free-kick tactic for scoring goals today, Cote d'Ivoire's biggest performance was in several offsides, but Manchester United did a good job in countering offsides.

Time passed bit by bit, and the field reached a deadlock. The average age of Chelsea's players is older, but Manchester United's tactical play is more consuming, which makes the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.

In the end, it was the young Di Matteo who took the lead in making the decision to change. In the 73rd minute, he replaced young player Bertrand with Malouda.

The young Bertrand played very hard on the court today. The right wing formed by him and Bosingwa was suppressed by Bale alone. The back and forth sprinting made the young England's body consume a lot of energy. The game was only in the 70th minute. I had cramps.

To be on the safe side, Di Matteo replaced him with Malouda. On the one hand, Malouda was more experienced, and on the other hand, he hoped to use Malouda's offense to help Chelsea improve their offense on the field.

Di Matteo is very clear about the team chairman's expectations for this championship. If he wants to become a regular coach and become Chelsea's official head coach, he must win this Champions League final to have any chance.

And once he fails to lead Chelsea to win the Champions League, he may end his Chelsea coaching career tomorrow.

………………

The game time passed by minute by minute.

Although Chelsea made a substitution adjustment, Ferguson had no idea of ​​​​making any substitution adjustments.

The time quickly entered eighty minutes.

After Malouda came on the field, his experience really played a big role. Together with Bosingwa, Bell was completely locked up.

Of course, the big reason is that Bell's physical fitness has entered a bottleneck period. This is the fifty games he has played this season. Although his appearance rate in all Manchester United games is less than 80%, the absolute number is not low, and his physical condition is not good. In addition, this game has been played for 80 minutes and is surrounded by at least two Chelsea players at any time, so one can imagine the amount of physical exertion.

Bell fell into silence, and Manchester United's offense also encountered a crisis. But Chelsea's situation is not much better, and it is also difficult to play a threatening offense.

Bell looked up at the time board and saw that the game had reached the 82nd minute.

There is really not much time left in the game. Bell does not want to drag the game into stoppage time or even a penalty shootout, which will not have much advantage for Manchester United.

The game must be resolved within ninety minutes!

No chance? Then forcefully create opportunities!

Since this season, Bell feels that not only his overall strength is constantly improving, but his confidence is also getting stronger. At least, on the court, he no longer doubted whether he could do it, but was thinking about how to do it.

Even if it is a repeat of the original situation of passing the opponent's entire eleven players, this is the case!

These are obviously two different levels of mentality, and this should be regarded as his biggest gain and improvement this season.
